UNITED STATES.

New York, February 14. The impeachment has fallen dead again, and the probabilities now. are that Andrew Johnson will be left in undisturbed possession of the Presidential chair until the fourth of March, 1869, although it is reported that Mr Stevens is bitterly incensed at the turn affairs has taken, and has invited Messrs Boutwell and Farnsworth and other Radical leaders to join him in a new plan of action to get rid of the President at a much earlier day. Whatever plan they may hatch up, however, is likely to fail unless they can get the Conservative Republicans to act with them, and this they are not likely to do, for whenever the question of "impeachment" conies up they fight " shy" of it as long as they can, and when they are at last forced to act. vote against it. The Bill, providing for placing the ten Southern States under the military dictatorship of General Grant, known as the supplementary Reconstruction Bill, is still being earnestly discussed in the Senate, but will without doubtbe passed. The President has nominated Lieut. General W. J. Sherman to be " General" by brevet in the army of the United States, for distinguished courage, skill, and ability displayed during the war of the rebellion. The Senate Committee on Territories has reported favorably a bill to admit the Territory of Colorado into the Union a3 a State immediately. The bill will in all likelihood speedily pass both Houses and another State be thus added to the Union. Should the Judiciary Committee make a favorable report upon this bill and it should be passed by both Houses of Congress, then Alabama will be restored to the Union again, and the door for the return of the nine other Southern States wit be open and the entrance rather an easy one. The bill, however, will be strongly opposed by the leading Radicals.
