V"; -; j -.';..:. A large quantity of arms shipped from New York for the use of the Imperialists, had been landed at Vera Cruz. Indecisive skirmishes were occurring daily. ' , " j; .: , .. It Is said that the Indictment against ! Jeff. Davis was drawn to meet the' provisions of the law passed July, 1781, under. 'which the penalty is Imprisonment- and fine, together with the loss of slaves.., Head Executive Stephens Is busy considering the financial affairs of the Brotherhood. The Fenian Senate, now in session' and whose mysterious movements, are by some deemed ominous, ignore Stephens entirely. ' ! The action of the House on the,Tobaoeo . Tax is looked forward to with much inter-' est. A warm fight will be made on Schenck's proposition to place an ad valo- . rum tax on cigars, Instead of a specific duty as at present. j Note holders of the Venango National , -Bank of Franklin, Pa and Washington, D. C.'.have been notified by the Comptroller of the Currency to forward the bills of triocu iq ti 1? for rAdpmntlnn The investigation of the affairs of the Merchants' National Bank shows that 4 pe cent was paid on deposites by disburslng offlcers who kept their accounts there, the interest being drawn by outside parties, and amounting to 842,000. Col. Paulding has ben placed under arrest, the evidence taken by the Military Board complicating him to a very serious extent. From St. Domingo we have the news of the defeat of the Government troops by the . revolutionists, It is believed the Haytlen Government is backing tip the insurgents, supplying them with arms, ammunition, money and provisions. The commander of the Government troops is awaiting reinforcements. Pinnutel had been proclaimed President, and the rebels were parching on the capital. . The Indianapolfs Herald having expressed a desire to know where the moneys of Gov. Morton's - Financial Bureau are kept, the Journal suggests to the venerable ex-Judge who edits the Herald, that the best way to find out whether public moneys have ever been used for purposes of private soeculation, is to inquire of W. - II. Talbott, Esq., President of the Sinking Fund; John MV Lord, Esq., for merly Agent of State; , Aqujlla Jones, Esq., . formerly Treasurer of State; John C. Walker, late Agent of State, and Major tJeneral in the . Sons of Liberty; and . the Hon. D. C. 8 " Stover, 'formerly clerk m charge o the Indiana State Agency at New York. As the public is, doubtless also interested in this branch of knowl edge, it might" be well for hiia, to tel what he knows about the privilege ac J.!lorded.to a late Supreme Judge,, of borrowing money from banks upon

his own name and without indorse

mertt, at-six per cent, interest, and upon what condition such privilege as extended. v,"V ' - !;All of the above gentlemen iare.d's tuiguished le'aders.of the .Confederate Democracy, and will, no doubt, take pleasure in giving the desired infor mation. ' , The President to be Impeached. , The Springfield (Illinois) Register, hot being able to contain itseJt any longer, has been indulging in violent diatribes against the President, of which the following- paragraph is a sample: t - ; .:, v-iv-.fy ; " ; " There is no reasoji ipup'pose ihat such a beast (Andrew . Johnson), will exhibit signs of repentance much less will he be likely to give up his' grasp on the public treasury. If anything useful results in this regard, It must be brought about by coercive measures.- It Is now reported .that Thad. Stevens declares, if the House 0 Repre sentatives was in session, he wQuld move the impeachment of; thS debauched buf foon. It Is to be hoped that Thad.'s indignation will not die out before the session commences. His virtuous .wrath should hot beshort-livetL,,,',' Y: ',r' Jt , : , .' "Let Mr. Thad. Stevens ' maintain his proper Indignation until the next session, and if, in the meantime, Andy Johnson does not resign,; a, most, improper conjec ture, nor die off in a drunken debauchequally improbable, for Heaven Is chastening the nation In divers miraculous ways r-then remove him by impeachment.!' v. We copy the above paragraphs from the Covrierpf yesterday, The Spring field Register is" the State organ of- the Confederate : Democracy in .Illinois, The article from which the above extracts are taken appeared in that paper immediately after the second inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, and refers to the improper condition in which Vice President. Johnson Was exhibited on that occasion.' What object the Courier has in copying the article from he Register, at this . late day, we cannot conceive, unless it means " to go back on the President." The Register, just now, is one of the most enthusiastic Johnson papers in, the country and it cerlainly is ungenerous in another paper ' UborbgnUiesame; cause.to call tip such unpleasant reminiscences. It is as offensive as to sneer) at 'the German wing of the Democratic party by styling- their paper the I Demomeans, to compel the Courier to apologize .' We presume it will!. , -: - Johnson on Appointments. The Copperhead friends of Presi dent J6HNs6N"are making a great Outipry against the determined stand taken by the Senate m1 refusing to1: epnfirm hisemovals from ofiice;fori opinion's sake1.1 If they "will take the trouble to '' examine !; 3Ir, Johnson's record, they will find that when he was Senator, he stood exactly with the ' Senate on this "question, and made a. most ef fective speech in favor of that - body retaining the brakes in its own hands," "and. against confirming the appointments' 'of Mr., Lincoln. . We give the following extract: ; I "How has Lincoln been elected, and upon what basis does he stand? A. minority President by nearly Llyalf a j hiUlion votes; but had the election taken -place upon the plan proposed in my amendment to the Coastltutiou by districts, he would have beei this day defeated, Biiti it has oafu oond aucorauiz..re fuie4-onstuiuion and according to the law. Iam for ;alidT ing by th Constitution ; and 'n abiding by it, I want to maintain and retain my place here and put down Mr. Lincoln and drive hack his advances upon Southern institu tions, lf he designs to make any. Have we pot the brakes In our pwn hands? Have we not got , the power? We have. Let South Carolina and her Senators come: and ton the 4th of March; next we shall have a majority.' of. six ' in this body against him. . This successful sectional candidate, who is in a minority of a million or nearly so,.on. the popular vote, cannot make his Cabinet .on . the 4th of March next, unless the Senate-will permit him. .,::;, " Am I to be so great a coward as to Te treat from duty? I, will stand here and meet the encroachments upon, our Institutions, I will stand here and resist all encroachments and advances. Here is the place to stand. Shall I desc-rt the citadel and let the enemy come In and take possession? No. Can Mr. Lincoln send a for eign minister or even a consul abroad un less he receives the sanction of the Senate? Oan he appoint a Postmaster whose salary Is hver a thousand dollars a year without the consent of the Senate t Shall we desert our posts, shrink from our responsibilities, and permit Mr. Lincoln to come with his cohorts, as we consider them, from the North, to cany off everything? Are we so cowardly that now that we are defeated, not conquered, we shall 60 this? Yes, we are defeated according to the form of law and the Constitution, but the real victory Is ours the moral force Is with us." The Congressional Committee, at the special request of' many leading Southern Unionists, among whom are Mavnard, Stokes,- Fowler and Hubbard, have decided to circulate sixty thousand copies of Mr. Shellabarger's great speech upon the right of the Government - to disfranchise rebels. The fact that the true men of the South approved it is influencing many at Washington to insist upon the disfranchising clause of -the proposed amendment.'

' In compliance with -a resolution of the Housejthe President has reported to .that body the;,nimber7of"rBijeis' orth more than"'f2((X)0, -who have been pardoned by hihv The. list is as ioiiows : f, 1 Georgia......... 1,228 North Carolina.. 482 Texas. 209 New Mexico 1 Mississippi..... 765 Louisiana. ......... 142 Alabama.. ...... ...1,861 South Carolina- ...638 Arkansas.-.. ... .j.41 Missouri ..... ......... 10 Kentucky..-. 12 Florida....... 37 West Vireinia 8 .

C. No ble, a reconstructed rebel, congratulates Kentuckians that the Federal authority is no ioneer to be enforced by a "file of creasy. Dutch, vagabond soldiers."- Missouri Democrat. - . ; ,- ' ' 1 The aforesaid Noble does that very thing, and he further congratulates them that Andrew Johnson has trampled military despotism under foot that the. civil law J has once more taken its Constitutional place, and that Radicalism no longer lords it over the life, liberty and property of the people, plundering and destroying them at pleasure.-For' all of which, .we repeat, thanks to Andrew Johnson. 'JKow is thaf f Rebels and their : sympathizers ' all hate the " Dutch," as they are pleased to call them. The Paducah Herald calls . Germans who. served.' m the Unjon army ' "greasy, Dutch, vaga-j bond soldiers' - and he Evansville Uourwr calls even, a Uerman DeniO-i erattc paper the.Demo-ira?. Reason why, the Germans love and fight for he Government. ' We are indebted to the publisher, J.'

IndefJyrsLS betrayed, into philosophic musings the other evening, by; a long procession of free ladies--dressed in pur.oWite perfttmed,'j Verribboned and be-flowered their feet keeping time to the melodious breathings of the music that preceded them. '; It was a Mayday celebration. v i Here follows a description of the May Queen and procession : .1 At the 'head of the ; procession marched the May Queen; she was a good looking mulatto, moved along with 1 three arches of flowers held above her by a half dozen fairies of the same hue as herself, and had the extraordinary honor of two pages who walked behind her,' and held up the trails of her dress from foul pollution with the, mud and watery '. This duty seetned to be one more for show than utility; as it was observed that hertail was not a fashionable one, b'utj limited" in v its ', dimensions - cotntarativelv speaking, a plebian bob-tail 'A" few-' paces lu aavance ot the procession, marched four musicians three fiddlers a ud one banjoist; the gi-avity of whose demeanor was only equalled by the energy with which they sawed and twanged their , festive instruments. To crown all this flaunting of ribbons this display of swiss this profusion of flowers -there was an air of subdued triumph about the expression of the whole band, that spoke as plainly as could be-" white folks' look at us we can have our celebration as well as you."- This was so palpable that it was received by the admiring; spectators with loud smiles, that contrasted with the general gravity of the proceeding. !
