Otnktention of this bodkin New York city is much agitated by questions growing out of the rebellion. Loyal men in the body require that arl'uttequivoeal position be taken to*ards the rebellion, and etkedially towards Bishop Polk, who abandoned his ministerial position in order to tilt() a high military command in the rebel army. Thd ease of Bishop." Wilmer of Alabama, made a bishop by nfragno3nt of the Church since the seM` oration, is also in hand. Suitable prayers for the crisis are also demanded and a great mash of bpai 7 nes6 under ibis:head, being forinciPallYAn the lands of a committee, waits at this writing , for final ad judication. Speciat lonians for the country were( held in the Trinity Church on Wednesday morning' 00. & The prayers eMployed are lamentably .deficient in tlieir tone. Hdre are the strongest sentences we can cull from them. "We bemeeh Thee so to sanctify unto us our prdent * distress, And so to make haste to, deliver us, that war shall be no more in all our borders, and that all resistancetto the'lawful Government of the land shall utterly cease.

The Triennial 00)3Tel:site)), "oi' the Episcopal Church on the war. —The Triennial Convention was "disturbed" on the third day of the Session, by a Mr.:Brinot of Pennsylvada, who had just re turned hem the battle field , near Sharpobarg, and Who, out of a full heart, offered strong resolutions egainst the rebellion, and calling upon the Bishops to frame a prayer in accordance with the same. Al 'moot immediately the resolutions were tabled bY the overwhelming vote of 28 to 9; almost thicie,m One. The ill effect, of such , action was, however, speedily perceivedilowd a, proposal to reconsider was offered and debated at.great length. Judge. Chambers of Cheotertown,bld., hoped.no firebrand would be in troduced merely to please public- opinion outside. lion. Washington Hunt.of N. Y. on; the same side said : "Before high heaven he could boldly pro claim that day,`that the Chureh was free from the raPottallatY of blood;:and. if all religious denona nations had followed our example, there would havebeen nO war, and we should now have been one country,, N Hon. Murray Hoffman offered a series of reooln tions With the true patriotic , ring in theni, referring to the seceded pOrflon of the Episcopal Church in the following manner : Resolved, That the Protestant EpiscoPaLChureh in the United States of America is alone the parti cular or natl.:Mal Church finial who have acknow ledged themselves its members. .Risolved, That in the opinion of this House; all ministers and other persons who have united the acts and proceedings before set forth, [acts of Ecclesiastical secession] have fallen into the sin of disobedience to the Church. . The resolutions also call for prayer, in unmistake able language,- for the success , of the government in auPPressing the rebellion. Judge Chambers was very much incensed at the resolution. .He said: " It was with deep and heartfelt regret he heard a lay deputy' Oar thaiierles et Reedutions charging with dark and damnable crime, of which we are to pronounee them446/Calfhele cocoon of our fel low Churchmen, with clergy hy the:hundreds, and Rt. Rev. Fathers who have sat in our chancels:— all in one mass are to be denoutteed as vile sinners. We who have friends among these fl ners,—bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh, blood ofoor blood— we are to. raise our hands to God and ask, His curses on their heads I" On the'other side, Rev. Dr. Vinton media most able and-vigorous appeal for some proper action on the part of the Convention. He said : " The men who stood arrayed against the church and country ought to heti° . been, and might have been, in the Performance of their duty, the conservators of oar national unity. It ,Was,the duty, of that body, as in trusted with tee, keeping at the °birch, te' rebuke those who had offendod;" 1 ' 6164 . W. Goigiwin9f,POnnallv.anie," follow ad in a calm,. philosophical and exhaustive argu ment. He proceeded to answer every question raised' against the resolution,' `aitd said that the adoption of a prayer'for the country in which they nau id all unite was,demanded at that moment. He said : Genesal Convention had been marked by an u n failing eararteeY, , testridning itself from all action that might watuul the ' feelings of Southern, men. But what had we gained by 'it 7 Had, it saved from disruption and bobtail? However, the motion' for reconsideration of Mr. Brunet; resolution was lost, but by a much leas decisive vote than that Which at first tabled the pro posals ' rE 4 Next day, the subject again came up, in its length and breadth Judge Carpenter-of New Jersey:of fering a resolution mai, TiPolvtlY) Bishops' for form of prayer in Alaiiqu to ti l i,Witalig,ribinicui. now p r evailini in the land—for the safety of our country, and the success of our artnies:now in the field. Hon. R. C. Winthrop at this point made a speech that was marked more by ingenuity than out spoken manliness. As in the Old School Assembly of last year, an appeal was made to a member of the Cabi net, who answered unfavorably to action on the part of the body, so Mr. Winthrop undertook to say that the Government would prefer that the Con vention "preserve carefully all ties of religious and ftuternal sympathy that may remain, for these ChriStian ties, though now concealed., perhaps nn under duress, may oncemore be restored, and help to bind us together in one" * * "In an eccles iastical assembly, he thong& it better to avoid all expressions that may leave after them any cause of irritation or heartburn." Editor [ReMarkablelow• theM oili-tongued politicians cat instrict Ecclesiastical Assemblies in the cultiva tion, of Christian charity . . Nevertheless Mr. Winthrop ,consented to Judge Carpenter's resolution.„ He. even- voted-against tab lirquat's for its words 'did not sound harsh Eo:lata, ears. • Judge Carpenter's resolution wasreferred to a oommittee of nine, to be aPpeinted ity the chair. Mr. Hainan then reproduced his own resolutions, when Hon. H. Seymour, Democratic candidate for Governor of New York, made a long , speech, in which he favored' free discussion, but opposed pro nouncing an •opinion against " our Southern bre thren." The measure seeinedio him very like the issuing of a " Pope's hull against the Comet." It seemed that we were first to pass judgment on our Southern brett - tren;ten rnassa; and, if vre - everttallid . tune and inclination, we would try them 'afterwards. He begged them to." poise _before condemning the absentcondernning hundrediand thousands ofbreth ren, not a man of whom was here to speak for himsdlf. [Speaking plainly ,enough, Denicteratic-eandi date-Seymour, would you but hear it, by death ing bullets and by the cannon's_ mouth.] He was prepared 'to denounce `the ,Potiticat action of the South: but he was loth to take a similar course to wards his fellow members of_ the Church. He-knew that he-mightiet 'maintain fraternal regard'towards that; [BishOp Polk included?] ; .and that'even in case of a separation, thoughthey might not be Mem bers of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Un ited States, yet they would still be members of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the world. He was anxious that the. Church should stand right in the eyes of our Sikithern brethren. He would vote for Mr. 13runot's reselutions [not Mr. .Hofrman's.] • Marked sensation accompanied -the delivery of the above address, and a very visible disposition to applaud was noticed in a portion of the House. Dr. Hawks, whose Southern sympathies are well known, made ti-rank speech, as the following choice extracts will show Men of honest minds would never cut off brethren from communion for a matter of mere words, and. because the two parties' did not alearly understand one another's .speeoh. * * They pray for those who actually are their ;tilers. This they must do, whether or no ; but in so doing they only obey what has been the law of the Church ab antic. He quo ted the rule of early times from Justin Martyr; Ter tullian, Dionysina of`Aleiandria, and Eusebius, that the Government de facto , was, always recognized by the chureh. The church must •bring her peculiar and appropriate ecclesiastical • r strength to the relief of the Country. Aa individuals' we could do it;by joining her armies ; but, as a Body, this Convention could not enlist in the army, and fight the ba Os of flesh and blood: That belonged uhtilly to the de 7 partment of the civil and secular government. Why not leave it there? We could'give that government our sympathy, our means, our-arme, our lives ; but not here, nor new. They could'not pollute the Tem ple of God. The various re.solutions which had been offered, were referred to the Committee Of Nice= This com mittee, on the following morning, was announced as below Mr. Mead, Jlev:Dr; Wilson, Rev. Dr. Hon. Washington Hunt, ReV . . Dr. Higbee, Rev. Dr. Totten, Hon. R C. Winthrop, General Charles Goddard and Judge-Conyngham. Tolerably pro- Southern or pro-nothing committee, that I Yet the committee cannot dravtcrff all the strength of this live question. On the sth day it coma np in great prepartions.. Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of this city, a brave, , straightforward man seemingly, pro posed n series Of - denims for the adoption of the House, which declared 'that' no Bishop of, the Pro testant. tpisr;onal Cknrch, iii the United States, should leave the ministry to take up arms, and that the exclusive calling of thoSe- in orders, who were members of the Convention, consisted in the per formance of their ministerial duties; and that no clergyman should be connected with the'army ex cept in the capacity of chaplain. Of course a new storm of wrath arose from South ern sympathisers, on which we mill not dwell. Judge Chambers and Dr. Hawks were again promi nent. The lattei said : "We must not lig in all the little dirty questions of the day which will be buried with their agitation." Here, is a noble word. on the other side, however, by a Dr. Clarkson, of Illinois, which may be put in contrast with some'frothy diclarationa of Hen. Mr. Huni,on the exemplary innocence of " the Church" in the war, already quoted by u& The Illinoisian, Dr. Clarkson, thought -mire of the brethren at the South were migguiders rather than misguided. In some places our brethren had been put in-the van; and helped to urge the rest of the' community into the vortex _of rebellion. The family, the Church, and f,he State, were all of divine appointment : and if the Churph could not, say to the State in her trou ble, `` God bless you and save you I" then God have mercy on the Church If Sage Chambers was a father, he would understand 'that the rebukes to children often gave the greater pain to the parent. For the church todo nothing now, would be to enact the pert of the Priest,, and the levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan. He begged" them not to mind the cry of "No polities! " It was the old cry of " Wolf! " The rebellion was not yet over, and votes given in this Houie might decide whether the ship of State was to go down, or to outride the storm. , And likewise this of Dr. Vinton : (whom the Church Jonrnal of New York; steadily ignores in this debate, calling him simply 'a Clerical deputy.') The South was guilty of schism---the worst kind schism, separation. He condemned the clergy and the laity of the South for organizing oppositil in the first flush of secession. They have been fore- Moat in fomenting secession. He werild utter his solemn protest against disunion. Had the Church been true in her loyalty, the rebellion would never have gained a foothold. Thus the fifth day passed, no other business what ever haVing been transacted. The proposed canons were referred to the Committee on Canons. Th e ,si x th day witnessed further demonstrations in the same direction ;, the principal ef which was a preamble and resolutions offered by Rev. Dr. Vin ton,deolaiing the consecration of Richarcla. Wil mer, D.D., to the Episcopal See of 'Alabaina, as " nnormordcal, irregular, and schismatidair and pronouncing his jurisdiction void. This woe tempo rarily laid aside. The Seventh 'day, Wednesdr,ty; was observed by apptintment of the Bishops, as a day of fasting, huniiliation and prayer ; we have given some awl merle& the prayers uttered on:that occasion ; aome what Laodicean they must perforce be called. On the Eighth day, Thursday, Mr. Winthrop in trodueed the report of the Committee of Nine,which contains en extraordinary amount of apology fer the infinitesimal scraps of manly and loyal sentiments whiekwe find, in, it. According to this document, the .CiOnn*P> as u a sort Octwilight, "cannot, he w hayadidd,(l) talhe .course Which has been ,pur. Alittirattlttobgttti.in i:and: .4: otiottfrinto.,itlio:# sued in their ecclesiastical and civil relations by great numbers of the ministers and members of this Church." Plainly enough the authors of the docu ment had not been to Sharpsburg, as Pennsylvania Mr. Bnlnot had. And they "feel bound "•,--tre mendous obligation--" to declare " their " solemn sense of the deep and grievous wrong they [there : bets] WILL HAVE inflicted, etc., should they persevere. in striving to rend asunder." etc, Of course noob7 ligation las yet accrued, nor will accrue, we suppose, until the effect of thesp declarations has been tried on General Polk and his fellow-churchmen. Finally the resolutions pledge the earnest and devout pray ers of the Body to the Government, that its efforts may be crowned with speedy and complete success to the glory of God and restoration of the Union. Yet it isJeft, wholly to the judgment of the BishopS whether or not to prescribe suitable forms of prayer for the emergency, there being none such in exist ence of general Authority. According to loyal men in the Convention, the present prayers .",answer as well for the rebels as for us." sitatotiz *geol. The late Victor at Corinth was a very se vere conflict, and if accounts received nearly 'a week afterwards, are correct, it was originally defeat, converted by the returning bravery of the defeated but rallied . men, into a decisive victory. In order to gain a correct idea of the battle of ,Co rinth, it is neceSsary to go back'to the desperate fight at lukn, on the 19th of September. . General had information - that engagenient that the rebel,General Van Boni was Marching up with a heavy force to flank Corinth on the west, and to attack either that place* or Bolivar, Tennessee, while .PAce' shoidd move up alinultinionaly from luka. Price's diseomfiture , at Inks delayed, but did not entirely frustrate this plan. After the battle of the 19th he retreated by way of Marietta, and Fulton to Tupelo, and then march ed nocthwast, to. Ripley, where he joined Van Dorn and Lovell, and the• combined forces moved upon Corinth. It appears that their main: army marched north through Ruckersville and Jonesboro to Pocal hontas, on . the Memphis and Charleston , Railroad, and then moved down the road to attack General Roseman% while another column,* probably price's, took the shortest route by way of Kessuth, The Rrst Day's .Fight.—On the morning of the 3d our outposts were attacked by thp . enemT in force, about six miles northeast of Corinth. Before nine o'clock the engageMent became general= and fierce, and a sanguinary battle was fought Our men, under Roseemns, stood up znanfulty, and fought with great coolness= and bravery. But regiment after regiment, and brigade after brigade poured in'uTion us, and We were forced 'Slowly back wards, fighting desperately. The rebels Pushed for- Ward with determined obstinacy, and held every foot of advantage ground. They outflanked our inferior force on the left, and were attempting to get in our rear. We were obliged to back still further, to prevent .0* movement from being accomplished. The enemy were inside of our 'breastworks, pushing us backward toWards the town, when darkness, put an end to the fighting'forthatday. During the . day's fight our loss was heavy, but that-of the enemy must have largely exceeded ours. Three pieces of the Ist Missouri battery were cap tured. BrigadierrGeneralHaeklernan fell, mortally ;woun ded, at the head of his 'brigade. General Ogleaby was shot , in the breast. The Second.

At.the expiration of that time two of the rebel gum had-been disabled, and shortly after day light their battery of seven guns were .captured. A portentous.' quietnes,s'soon 'occurred, and it-Was evi. dent that!some moveinent , was being made by the enemy. The Western. Sharpshooters, under Colo nel Burks, were ordered forward as skirmishers to feel the enemy's position: At half-past nine o'clock '.they met the enemy within a quarter of a mile of the advance of our line of:battle, advaneing Tepidly =heavy columns upon the • town: ~Theyirnmediately opened a mur= derous fire on the skirmishers, who immediately began - tOretire, returning the fire of the enemy with . The woods seemed alive with rebels, and it ap 'mitre& impossible for this gallant regiment to escape destruction in their,retreat over three quarters of a Mile of open ground, which intervened between them and our temporary works of defence. In a few moments the engagement became gene ral. - Our batteries' opened4-destiubtiveAre on the exposed ranks of the rebels,' mowing them - down like grais, The slaughter among them was frightful. But With unparalleled daring'and recklessneSS they rushed• impetuously foTward. They charged our works desperately, broke" our lines of infantry, and captured a small fortification; in which the battery of the Ist 'Missouri was Planted'. Our fortune seem ed to be all lost A teMpoiirt panic seized our men; and' the rebels once more marched intothe streets of Corinth. New batteries opened Upon them. Our men,-un der the direction_ of ,a few-courageous officers,` and stiMulated by their example, though .thinued in ranks, fought desperately. The advance of the-ene my wafr checked. They wavered, and then fell back. Our loSt battery was regained," and once more it hurled destruction into. their ranhs., The day was saved, and the enemy in full retreat. . . Our loss was Comparatively small.during this fear fd charge. That of the enemy was fully twenty , to our one killed. Among the rebels killed and left;on the field was Brigadier-General Rixlgers, of 'New Orleans, Colonel 'and - Acting-Brigadier Johnscm, of Mississippi, and mother Oolondecinmanding a hri gade, whose name was not learned. The enemy was commanded by Van Dora, Price, and Villipigne,. with; .their ,respective army corps, nuinbering 50,000 men. Our proportion of officers killed is thooght to be large. We lost kit four taken prisoners. The rebel loss is about 800 killed and from 1500 to 1800 wounded: We laie 1600 prisoners at Co rinth, and. 300 on the 4Hatchie, with more coming in constantly. We - have- taken several thousand stand of arms, .thrown away by the rebels in their flight. They:are Mostly new pins of English manu facture.

Mr. Comm= was a young min of twenty. two years of age, and enlisted in the war as a matter of .principle and patriotism. He fell like a patriot, on' the post 'of duty. We have known him well and intimately for. a number of years, and• among our ac quaintances we know of none more worthy of esteem for his manly virtues and intellectual adornments. He was beloved by all his comrades in the camp, and alike by every citizen with whom he became acquaint ed., Corporal Common's body was '.interred' by ;,rt from all the others in a beautiful grove near the battle-field. May it rest undiaturbed by the clangor of battle, until the'great Day when kindred and friends and' e,omrades:ihall meet to sep arate no more forever. It is hard to separate thus from friends we love, ; it is hull .to bp thus, cut off in the vigor-of opening • maphoca ;4 ! -but if death must come thus early, the battle-fielaliis• the place for 'the patriot to die. : • .

Gold Pens than with steel ; therefore, it is economy to use Gold Pens. •The:Oold Pen remains unchanged by years of con tinued use, while the Steel Pen is ever changing by corrosion and wear ; therefore, perfect uniformity of writing is obtained only by the use of the Gold Pen. The. Gold Pen is always ready, and reliable, while the Steel Pen must be often condemned and anew one selected ; therefore, in the use' of the Gold Pen there is great saving of time: Gold is capable of receiving. any.degree of elasti city, so that the Gold Pen is exactly adapted to the hand of the writer therefOre, the nerves of the hand and arm are noi, injured, as is known to be the case !by the use'of Steel Pens.
