etween Mr. Johnson and Congress, the greatest excitement since the assassination of President Lincoln prevailed. Every day startling announcements were made of the President's overt acts, and of the resentment of Congress. The climax was reached when Brevet Brigadier-General Lorenzo Thomas was arrested on the charge of attempted usurpation of authority that did not belong to him as adjutant-general of the War Department. He was released on a bond of five thousand dollars, signed by a Mr. George R. Hall and Elias A. Eliason. President Johnson irritated Congress further by sending in the name of General Lorenzo Thomas for Lieutenant-General. He was not confirmed. The warfare continued until articles of impeachment of President Johnson were prepared and presented in the House of Representatives.

Mrs. Potter Palmer having previously lived in the house, it was filled with statuary and other articles of virtu, among them Miss Hosmer's Puck, The veiled Cupid, or Secret 7, Love, by Rossetti, and a replica of Randolph Rogers's exquisite statue of Nydia, the Blind girl of Pompeii.

Miss Honore was attended by Miss Levy, Miss Rucker, Miss Houston, and Miss Hall, while Lieutenant-Colonel Grant was attended by his brother Ulysses. The bride and groom left that afternoon for their bridal tour, Colonel Grant carrying away from Chicago one of its most attractive young women.
ut the worst of those already noticed were excellent compared with this regiment. Of all the ragtags and bob tails which have ever been mustered into service, there has been none to compare with this regiment, unless it might be the country gang of the jolly old knight, Sir John Falstaff. Some had uniforms on, and some had parts of uniforms, and others were dressed in rags. In appearance they looked as though they had been drinking something besides water for the past few years. Some were lame, several blind of an eye, most of them knocked kneed and pigeon-toed. The regiment is commanded by Col. Geo. R. Hall, and marched by way of Lombard street to the Camden station, where they took the cars for Washington. About seven o'clock in the evening, the 4th regiment of the same brigade, Col. Taylor in command, arrived and passed directly through to Washington. The men composing this regiment were much better looking than their brethren of the morning.--Baltimore Exchange, 26th.
