Episcopal. The Closing Scenes 'of the Triennial o:inven tion were curious and exciting. An attempt was made by Judge Chambers to nullify the quali‘ed utterance of the body, by protest which' in someway was regarded as a piece of strategy. The report of the Independent says: " He read his paper in 'a low tone of voice, so that some one would call for the Secretary to repeat it. This was done. Then a resolution was surreptitious ly put upon the Secretary's desk _ ; ; others had their protests ready, and " everything looked lovely," until the Hon. Luther Bradish pointed out the un parliamentary course of the gentleman from Mary land, and Dr. Memo exposed the stratagem, The protest and resolution were crushed under an almost unanimous vote of opposition." We did not know that a protest was regarded as unparlimentery in any deliberative- body, provided it was couched in respeetii4l language, and wethere. fore do not understand the , " strategy " of it or the necessity for " crushing it" out.

The Pastoral letter of the Bishops is an excellent and manly doe umeet, worthy of sulth staunch loyalists aS Bishops Mcllvaine Whittingbern i and Lee.. It speaks with out reserve of -the " stupendous rebellion ;against the organic law and the constitutional government . of the country, for the dismemberment of our national . Union, under which, confessedly, all parts of Wieland have been signally prospered'and blessed. A rebel lion which is already too' well known to , you, Breth ren, in the vast armies that it has compelled our Government to maintain, and in the fearful expense of life and treasure, of suffering and sorrow, which it had cost on both sides, to need any further de scription here. We are deeply grieved to think how many of our brethren, clergy and laity, of the regions over which that' dark tide has spread, have been carried away by its flood. Not only yielding to it, so as to place r thentaelves, safer as in them lay, in severance of our ecciekdastioal union, which has so long and so happily ioined us tegether in one com munion and fellowship ; ;INA to a sad extent, sympa thizing with the, movement, and the giving their active co-operation." Referring to Bishop Polk„ they say; "When the ordained ministers of titegospel of Christ, whose mission is so emphatically one , of peace and goodwill, of tenderness and conitilation, do so depart from their saered . ealling as to' take the sword, and engage in the fierce and bloody conflicts of war—when in so doing they are fighting sob* the authorities which, as the powers that be, the Scriptures declare are ordained of God, sq that in resisting them they are resisting the ordinance of God—when especially one wines out from the sited spiritual duties of an overseer of the flock of Christ, to exercise high cowhand in such'awful work, we cannot—as onrseivei overseers of the same flock—consistently with duty to his Church, minis try and people, m, refrain from placing on , such exam. ples our strong aenderaeatiOn. Weremember those words of our blessed Lord—uttered among his last words—and for the special, admonition of his minis ters—' they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.' " The address' continued by alluding to the mighty force arrayed against the country, to effect itadis memberment, the'irmles ,in the field, the , perils of battles, the military baspitat,'and all 'the sad con comitants of war, and: the z duty of the Church in such a momentous crisis, which was, to proollum, in the words of Scripture, that the powers that be are ordained of God, and that whosoever resisted them liable to damtistion.

High: Standin.—A convert is thus spoken of by the Baptist Missionaries <of Delhi: He is a nephew of the ea-King of Delhi, and the only remaining member of the great house of Ti mm= in: Delh`, who can lay claim ;to pure royal blood, His name is Mirza Feroze, Shah. •He is a man of studious habits, and has for years been en gaged in comparing the Koran with the Bible. He is by no:means a novice in the 'truth. He used to sit for hours together at the feet of Mr. Thempson, and was more than once threatened with his uncle's royal displeasure for introducing Christian fopies into his conversation in*the Court of Delhi. When asked by Mr. Evans if at that - time he really believ ed Christ, he said, "j: did. fully believe that Christ was the Saviour, butt did not thee we nisi own need of him; nor could lat that time be per viaded to make an open prefes,sion of.

Says Rev. A. ,Dibb, Superintending ,Mission ary of one of the districts, after referring to the Aleans used (" all the admirable disciplin& of our Church, its liturgy, rites, and ceremonies, have been conducted by duly-constituted bishops, priests, and deacons ") goes on to say : " Any one who will take the trouble to look through the reports of the Tinnevelly Church mis sionaries for the last twenty years, may see that, the Christianity they have sought to propagate has been, not general, but distinctive ; not formal, but doctri nal ; not corrupt Christianity, but Protestant. The gospel they hive labored to preach has been the gospel of Christ, and not another gaspel. has been a pure'gospel, without addition;; .afree gospel, without .restriction; and a, full.gospel, without re=; serve. It has been that gospel which assumes man to be what he' most certainly is, a poor, fidlen, ruined creature, whose understanding• is darkened, whose will is depraved, and whose affeetiorts.aro %aged and grovelling.

The Catholic missionary, Jouen, writes on the Bth of '"November last to the Pope a flattering account of his reception by ;the King. He says " When we arrived at his capital, the 24th of September 1861, about a month after he had amen ded the throne, we asked from him permission to establish ourselves in the centre of his kingdom to teach the faith, ,to open schools, and to instruct the youth : !

Government Cotton.—The entire cotton crop from the Carolina Sea Islands this season, raised by the contrabands, is estimated at not less than 3,500 bales.

On Sunday the 19th, the; rebel Gen. Forest, with -a considerable force Of rebel cavalry, commenced 'crossing the CumberlandAriver. His advance, one thousand strong, encamped on the Gallatin pike, seven miles north of Naihville. Gen. Negley im mediately despatched Col: Miller with a' detachment 'to intercept them.

' ' The Removal o Gen al Buell ".h.'oirf'the army now in 'Kentucky, and th - Ppointment in his stead of General Rosecrans, . dekmined upon Oct. 24th, Will be hailed with lively slaiikfaction throughout the North. The manner in wilt& the can:Taiga in Ken tucky has been managed during the past six months has been patent to the American people, and the ,only wonder was, that the charge was not effected long ago. Considering all the facts in - the case, this may be taken as an official eonderimation of the plans and management of the campaign in Kentucky under 'Don Carlos Buell. That campaign was man aged in such a disgraceful Manner, that Bragg, with the whole of his army, and fifteen hundred.heavily leaded wagons. and a large (identity of cattle, made his escape, with all his plUndert, and without being attacked but once, and then by a general, contrary to the orders of General 8ue11..,: The rebel general with an audacity scarcely entailed entered the State, traversed its richest partsi gathered all the provi sions, forage, live stock, etc., he could lay his hands on, inaugurated a, bogus government at Frankfort, and when the Federal arniy marched, against him, packed up his plunder, and commenced to march backward. No better selection for a successor to' Gen. Buell can be found than Gen. Boseciftns. He is one, of our ablest generals and most popular men. His cam paign in Western Virginia p and latterly'in the West, will form one of the brightest pages in the history of this war, and place their hero as one of our-greatest military officers. Gen.

For circular, with full de scription,address JACOB LEWIS Is CO. 82 and 84 Nassau St., New York A New Work on Practical Religion. 2ESTHETiC PIETY. BY REV, IVM. BACON. The character of the work can best be seen from the following . RECOMMENDATIONS: From Rev. ALBERT BARNES, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. "I have read with as much care and attention as I could bestow onit, a work by the Rev. William Ba con, entitled a /Esthetic Piety or the beauty andlove liness of the Christian Religion." The design of this work, as stated, by the author pp. 23, 24,) is to show 1. That the Christian' Religion is essentially beau tiful and lovely. - 2. That Christians should strive as much as possi ble to attain and to exhibit'all the excellences of this religion. 3. That sinners as well as saints should candidly examine and correctly estimate the ditties and graces of Christianity, - and thence be led to adqpt p.nd prac tice them in order to secure all the happiness.to which they will lead." No one can doubt the importance of the subject thus discussed. And in my judgment the author has discussed them, in such a way as to be eminently uses fal to all those who will read his work. The piety of the church would be of a higher order, andfthe hap piness of Christians would be much greater, if they would follow the counsels addressed to them in this book; and it would be for the eternal welfare of those who are notnow Christians, if they would, as the author suggests, so examine Christianity; so lay aside all pre judice; so yield themselves to the conviction of truth, as to embrace the Christian system and practice it in their lives. I think that the book is adapted to elevate the faith, and. increase the piety of the Church, and that its tendency would be to convince all persons that the Christian religion is "worthy of all accepts tiqn," and is the richest gift which God has confer refl on mankind.--I have known the Rev. Mr. Bacon for many years, and in such circumstances as to show ' what manner of spirit he is of,' and I have the utmost confidence in his piety, his seal,, and his de- . sire to do good to the world, and,cominend this work —the fruit of • the reflections of .many years, ,and the result of a desire to do good when he is unable pub licly to preach the Gospel, to all with whom my name may serve as a sufficient commendation of the work to' induce them to examine it for themselves." Prom Rev. MARK Homxs, D. D. L. L. D., Pre sident of William's College, and or the A. .B: C. F. " Your work on /Esthetic Piety" I have no he sitation in commending for its judicious design, its clear discrimination of the elements of Christian character, its forcible commendation of them, and its full reference to `tho.se , passages of Scripture by which they are sustained.' MARK HOPKINS. Fred the Professors of the Auburn Theological Seminary. " I have read your work on Esthetic, Piety with entire approbation and unmingled gratification. It is full of sound common sense, suggestive thought and scriptural truth. It cannot fail to profit those who will attentive'y read it. lam glad that "while you are disabled from all labor abroad, you are able to divert your own mind, alleviate the pains of your long con finement, and render yourself widely and permanent ly useful by producing such works." EDWIN Hem.. "I have read your last volume entitled " /Esthetic Piety" with much satisfaction. The cultivation of this -department of Christain character demands at tention. Your book has my, cordial approbation, as it furnishes desirable help to the many who are in need of a Manual on this subject. I rejoice that dur ing your long confinement you are able to use your pen for the good of the Church." J. B. CONDIT. haVe read with interest'and profit the work on "/Esthetic Piety" by Rev. Wm:um BACON. "The very discriminatingand full analysis of the chris tian character it contains, classes it as an aid to self examination with the best extant works on experi mental religion; and the exhibition of the reasons why piety Is too often presented in an unattractive form is full of admonition to all Christians. As-a work, not forpopular reading, but for closet contem plation, I wish it might be put into the hands of every church member." - Semi,. M. HOPKINS. "I have, yet been able- Only to' glance at it"-- /Esthetic Piety.' But I have read enough to disco ver, that Ais an excellent work of its kind, skilfully adapted to recommend our holy religion even as a mat ter of taste; to show the groundlessness of the impres sion, (whence so much aversion to Christianity,) that it is " unsightly and forbidding." At the same time I-am glsid to notice, that you do not lose sight of those higher considerations, which would, make it an imperative duty, and the true interest Of sinners to embrace the Gospel, even though it should be offen sive to the nice taste of the cultivated and refined." . , E.
