The President's Impeachment--*!"- .. -KwiaiUMi*iv copy ociuw-a leading article from the New York Herald. ^Thc.opinion seems to prevail that the proceedings commenced in the House of Representatives, looking to the impeachment of the President of the United States, will end in smoke that the movement is only a ruse dc guerre, or a sharp diversion against the Administration, and that there is no desigi entertained by his accusers of pushing iho affitir to indictment and trial of Pnsidont Johnson before the Senate. We have information from Washington, howevu, which justifies the opjiosite conolusbn—^that Ashley's resolution and the pmding inquiry of the Judioiary Committt of the House are but the initial steps a deliberate purpose on the part of tin Republicans in Congress for the removil of President Johnson from office,' ant without anyneedless delay. -. "The plan of opcrationswhich it is said has been agreed apon, is this: The

House Committee on the Judiciary will make up their report in taror of impeachment, and it will be ndoptel by the House before the close of the piesent session. A committee will then bo appointed and instructed to go, in the nam! of the House, and impeach Andrew Johmon for certain "high crimes and disdemcanors," before the'Senate, and demned his trial upon the charges preferred against him. The Senate will then postpone the matter to the meeting of that body in connection with the new -House* of Representatives, on the fourth of March, for the reason that on that day tit term «1' ono-third of the present members of the Senate expires, and new ine-nbers £o considerable extent, including several Radica.1 gains, will take their places. Wi ll this meeting of thcTourtr of Mnruli, the Senate will proceed" to 'lie election of their presiding officers, and .Uuujuuin Wade, of Oliioj it is supjosed, will he chosen. Mr.

Wade, therei'tro. as l'resideut of the Senate, in the evnt of the removal of Andrew ohnsoi, will oocoini! l'rcsi-leut of the United Hates, under an existing law of Congresf, mado in pursuance, of the Constitutirn. With this contingency thus proviied for, the Senate next, as a high courtof impeachment,Ghief-Justiec Chase prtsiding, will proceed to the trial of Presitent Johnson upon the indictment of the House, and will push the trial rapidly forward, aDd,:as it is believed by theprosccutioni to his conviction and retno'al from offico.

The Polytechnic Association or the American Institute. The Polytechnic Association of the American Institute held its regular weekly meeting on Friday evening, Jan. 4, 18G7 the president, S. D. Tillman Esq., being chairman.

The chairman read a number of items on different subjects, among which were the following —(1) The under side of the leaf of trees decomposes more carbonic acid than the upper side. In some instauces the difference was 4 to 1. (2) An alloy of aluminum and calcium, formed hy heating aluminum and sodium with an excess of chloride of calci-, urn, producing an alloy very lustrous, of lead-gray color, and not tarnishing by either air or water. (3) An alloy of aluminum and maguesium, by fusing equal combining equivalents under a layer of common salt. The alloy has the color of tin, and is very brittle. (4.) Polishing slate of Bohemia has beeu found to contain forty-one thousand millions of infusoria in every cubic inch, (n) Hough's self-recording barometer, which hy means of electicity, uotes any change in the columns exceeding one-thousandth of an inch. Meteorological observations iu Great Britiati. (7) Modes of erystalizing by the osmose process. (8) Spectral lines. (9) Steam power on canals. (^10) The metal idium. Its color resembles platinum, softer and morff "malleable: than lead, &3 volatile as magSesium or zinc.. air walling then, read a pape^refuting the theories advanced by Mr. Joseph S.

Mr. ftowlo exhibited a.pair of toilor's shears, and explained their operation.. Tn the old style of shears the closing of tlfe blades had the tendency to force tlia material to.be cut flw^y from the cuttim I or,closing edges. But these shears the menus of a curved slot in one of blades, which worked upon the piti screw, and a wire faS'tened like a link toj the opposite blade, actually drew the cu) ting blade toward the operator, and a the same time drew the material to be cut toward the servering edges.

At length every one is snugly csconcod, the ordinary good wishes are exchanged, and it is night iu tho car. The guard and the driver only keep awake. During the twenty hours a passeugcr is whirled along between St. Petersburg and Moscow, the train stops twenty times at least.

Tho hall is in the bare, cold stylo so often met with in this country when pomp is not intended hut the viands are good, the waiters are ready and their white gloves are unexceptionable. I need not say the whole affair is dour. Such luxuries are still regarded and paid for as an exotic in this distant latitude. The station is an oasis.

THK ORIGIN OK FHICTION MATCHES. In the year 1832 a man by the name of Phillips, living in Oakland Conn., invented aud patented a match that would ignite by friction. He made them upon a small scale, as his means were limited, put (hem in tin boxes of one hundred jeach, and sold thom to tho inhabitants lahout, carrying them in a pooket-htind terehicf. Many persons recoliect tho and consternation in.tho minds of ,e people at tho timo, lost their houses arid barns would bp burned by the hand of the ineeudiary, and many thought that ho should be restrained from scatterhis fire-brands in the community,

Phillips afterwards removed to Springfield, Mass., where lie formed a copartnership with a man by the name of Chapin, under the tit\o".of "Chapin & Phillips," when n'tpcreased 'he production of

and dipped singly by hand afterwards Phillip invented'the card matches. Such in brief, is the early history of this little article that is now considered an indispensable necessity. There must be many persons now living in Hartford who will recollect the red wagon, painted in large letters upon the side "Friction Matches," as it passed through the streets drawn by one horse.

Dr. Bradley read a paper upon "The Nebular Hypothesis, and advanced some novel ideas.

Prof. Stevens was then announced, andgave an interesting discourse upon "The gold-fields of North Carolinia." He showed that gold was not confined to any particular locality or kind of rocks, and was not produced in any particular ago of the world. That gold could be procured in nearly every river of ttffe North American continent. It had been found on the island which New York city is built, and it had been found on the prairies of Illinois. The first gold mine worked in the United Statps was at Reed's Hill, in North Carolina. He showed by diagrams how the different strata which contaiued the goldbearing quarts was broken up land, how the quartz were enable to thoroughly permeate every pore and interstice of the trap rock and slate in which it was enenclosed.

Daniel Webster's Character. Mr. Par'ton,1 the historian, in a'Hate magazine article, thus portrays the: char-' acter of the lato Daniel Webster. He says: "In surveying the life and worts' of this eminent and gifted man, we are 46ntiuually struolc with the ovidehees of his magnitude. He was, as we. have said, a very large person. His brain was within a little of, being.one-thirds l(tfger than the average, and, it. was ono of ,th$ largest three on recOrdl'' ^lik'botlUy'j frame, in all its parts, was on a majestib scale and his presence wns immense. He liked large thipgs—imoqntajms, elma,. great oaks, mighty bulls and oxen, wide fields, the ocean, the 'Union, _and all things of magnitude. He liked great Home far better than refined Greece, and reveled in the immense things of literature, such as Paradise Lost and the' Book of Job,

Burke, Dr. Johnson and the Sixth Book of yEneid. cHomer he never cared much for—uor, indeed, any thing Greek. He hated, he loathed .the ,,act of: writing. Billiards, ten-pens, chess, draughts, whist, he never relished, though fond to excess of out-door pleasures, like hunting, fishintr, yachting.

How our Hospitality Is Returned. The Richmond Times has the following:

Since the return from New Orleans, the Senatorial excursionists have repealed tho "thlrtaoath neotioa." They have thus cut ofF their most prominent entertainers from all hopes of pardon, and handed them over to the mercies of the Underwoods and Busteeds. The Indian and the Arab, when they have broken bread and tasted salt, in the" tent and cabin of an enemy, will not tomahawk nor stab him cruelly beneath the' fifth rib! But not so generous are Wade and his companions. They have virtually Said to General Beauregard and their other unpardoned Southern hosts: "We havo swilled. your champagne, devoured your rich Viands, rode free of oharge over your brilliant railroads, permitted you to pay our hotel bill's, and feasted upon the little whicli Sherman and Butler left you,' aud now, in testimony of our appreciation of your many, courtesies, WJB repeal the section of a law upon wnioh your hope of pardon hangs, and hand you over to tho hangman and tho"*oxecuVipnor." The "mollifying effects of the late excursion" do not promise to ropay the Southern people for tlioir generosity and kindness to these men. The Radical bull-dog Wade, after a surfeit .of Southern luxuries, returns complacently to his "vomit."

After the publication of the following letter by Montgomery Blair, late Post-master-Kenerali under tho- Administration of Mr. Lincoln,, it will, hardly ,do to charge Mr. Johnson with inconsistency upon the questions of reducing the Southern States to Territories: *.

"NASDVIDLK, Novedibei- 24, 1868.'"

"To Hon.)M. Blair, Postmaster-general: I hope that the President will not be committed to the proposition of States relapsing into Territories and held'assucli! If he steers clear of this extreme, his election to tho next Presidency is without'k' reasonable doubt.. I expected' to havfe boen iu Washington before tlis .time, when I could have oonyersed freoly .a^d fully in referonoe.' to the policy to',' 1)6 adopted by the Government but it has been impossible for me to' leave- NaBhville.
