The Lord’s Table.— lt is related of the Duke of !“Ti. wh i. eil \ e rema ined to take the sacrament at his parish church, a very poor old man had gone up the opposite aisle, and reaching the communion table, knelt down close to the side of the Duke; some one—a pew-opener probablv came and touched the poor man on the shoulLr, and whispered to him to move further away, or to rise and wait, until the Duke had received the bread and wine. But the eagle-eye and the quick ear of the great commander, caught the meaning of that touch, f. hisp + er - He clasped the old man’s hand and held him, to prevent bis rising, and in a reveren tial undertone but most distinctly, said. “Do not move,—we are all equal here.” A Mohammedan Priest on Colenso. —'There is a paper publkhed in the Turkish language at Stamboul. In one ot the last nurnbers there is an amusing letter from a motlah fatei from the Cape of Goof Hone The worthy Mussulman reviews the manners and customs ot the Christians in that colony, and sneoi ally alludes to the religious dissensions among Sem. Their priests, he says, all advocate different creeds, nod a 3 to their bishops. “ one Colenso actually writes books against his own religion!” A Giving Bishop.— The Bishop of London has set on loot a subscription to raise a million sterling, or five millions of dollars, in ten years, to relieve.the spiritual destitutions of his diocese. The Bishon offers to give £20,000 of the sum required, £2,000 annually for ten years. The last report issued by the celebrated George Muller, states that he has received for his orphan es tablishments at Bristol; Eng., as the result of prayer, since he began the work, the sum of £158,732, and there has been given for other objects £08,731, mak ing a sum total of more than a million of dollars. Sabbath in Edinburgh —We see it stated in our late foreign papers that the somewhat notorious Mr. Gregory recently moved (In the House of Commons) a resolution that the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh should be open to the public after the hours of divine service on Sabbaths, as is the case of other botanical gardens supported by Parliamen tary grants. Among other Arguments in support of. the motion, he urged the success that had attended the experiment elsewhere. The Lord-Advocate op posed the motion, on the ground that there was no necessity for a measure that would give offence to a large portion of the community in Scotland. He pointed out distinctions between the cases of the Dublin and the Edinburgh gardens. Mr. Stirling supported the motion. He admitted that a large majority of the clergy of Scotland opposed the pro posal, but he did not believe that they represented the intelligent opinion of the laity. The resolution was supported by Mr. G. Duffi and opposed by Mr. Black and Mr, Kinnaird, Mr. Mure likewise op posed the motion, concurring with the Lord-Advocate that the great preponderance of public opinion in Scotland was against the measure, and that there was no necessity for it, Major Hamilton testified that the feeling of the people in Edinburgh, high and, low, was against the opening of the gardens on Sab baths. Lord Palmerston said although he could see no harm, but good, in the measure proposed by Mr. Gregory, there was another consideration which ought to guide the House—namely the religious, sincere, and honest feeling of the people of Scotland to which they onght not, he thought, do violence without very powerful reasons. Mow the feeling of the people of Scotland was said to be against the opening of the gardens on Sabbaths, and the Lord- Advocate had shown that there was no necessity for the measure. Upon a division, the resolution was negatived by 123 to 107. There have been two recent sensations on public matters worth putting on record, though the basis of fact underlying them is not believed to be very large or very definitely ascertained. One refers to the er rand of the rebel Vice-President, who a few weeks ago went to Newport News on a steamboat, and re vested the opportunity of proceeding unmolested to Washington to have a private interview with the President. This was refused by Mr. Lincoln, and the question as to the burden of hie errand has been on the public .mind ever sidce. A plausible conjec ture has been that he designed to remonstrate with our government on the arming of the negroes, and to threaten retaliation by arming their own slaves against us. According to a letter purporting to be from Richmond, and addressed to a New York daily, It came to assure us, “on the good faith of bis govern ment, on the simple truth of Ms fellow-countrymen, that not one single regiment or corps qf negroes has tier been brought into the Confederate service, to be turned armed against you,” Speaking of the numerical strength that could be added to the rebel army from this source, he adds: “Out of these 4,000,000, at least 750,000 able-bodied Allows, loving and trusting their masters, and ready to follow them up to the mouths of your cannon (ah I not continue to befool yourself on that question of ties,) can be enrolled, armed, drilled in three months, They can be officered in every grade by their own masters, those who have* seen most service won most honor." It remains to be seen to what desperate straits the rebel authorities will be driven by the tremendous Agency in their affairs. It is difficult to believe & they will do for the black man, what, in its results, *nuld be almost the identical thing which they are fighting to prevent the abolitionists from doing. The other sensation which has somewhat more of plausibility has been raised by the rumor.of a specific Proposal by the rebel Cabinet to obtain from some European power a protectorate. To that effect, says a newspapeT inducements of the strongest kind . ers of th ' Proposed and assented to by we re not Mel Government. These and "Med to Louis Napoleon alone, butt ° j t 0 lain also.

However, we cannot bring ourselves to believe that the intervention which was refused by Europe when the South was compar bvely potent and defiant, will be granted when she is m such a crushed and humbled condition as now. Mississippi aid Tennessee.— Johnston’s rebel army is represented to be on the Pearl river, a few miles west of Meridan. The Mobile and Ohio Rail road will probably be his line of defence, involving almost the total abandonment of the State. Rebel commands on the north and the central parts of the State are nioving South. The removal of the slaves trom Mississippi to Alabama and Georgia is carried on to such an extent that the Governors of these btates have issued proclamations forbidding their fur ther introduction. Gen. Johnston’s pickets are said to have'turned a large number back. Our forces are busily engaged in cleaning out small rebel bands from W. Tennessee. E. Tennes see is still blocked against us at Chattanooga, where Bragg is now believed to be. Charleston.— Operations against Fort Wagner, on Morris Island, south of Fort Sumter, have been of Fort Pulaski. After carrying the smaller bat pushed with great energy by Gen. Gilmore, the hero teries on the Island, he had assaulted Fort Wagner twice without success. The last assault was made July 18th. The losses have been considerable; but the rebel boast of having actually buried 600 of our dead must be a gross and wicked exaggeration. Gen. Gilmore says: My Medical Director in the field reports our ag gregate loss in killed and woundeS at 635. I judge that there are 350 missing, The losses cover the three actions of the 10th, 11th and 18th. Many of the wounded will return to duty in a week or tea days. The health of the command is improving. The 54th Massachusetts regiment (colored) is the object of rebel spite. Its Colonel (Shaw) was killed in the last assault. . Unofficial reports say the negroes have been sold into slavery, and that the officers are treated with unmeasured abuse. Of the latter, Bays a correspon dent, ther<j| is no doubt whatever. I have conversed with several exchanged officers, and they all tell me that the first question asked them was whether they commanded negro troops. If the response was iu the negative, they were told that it was fortunate for them, for every negro commander would be hung or shot at sight. There is but one opinion with regard to the treatment our wounded received in Charleston. It was cruel, shameful, barbarous. Nearly every sentiment of humanity seems to have departed from these South Carolina wretches. The slightest gun shot wound which our army surgeons would have soon healed, immediately suggested to these pro fessional butchers the knife, the saw, amputation, and, m this climate, death. By advices from Charles ton, Jaly 26, we learn that the siege of Fort Wagner still continued. Gen. Gilmore had succeeded in erect ing a battery of heavy siege guns within 1,000 yards Eort Wagner. Everything was progressing fa vorably, Fort Sumter and Fort Johnson, on Mor ris Island, kept a continual fire on the Union forces on Morris Island. The casualties to the Union forces averaged about 6 per day. Advices to the 29th of July show that Gen. Gil more had pushed his works within 250 yards of Fort Wagner, where he had a long line of batteries. He hod heavy siege guns monnted within a mile and a quarter of Fort Sumter, which he expected to use effectually against that point whether Wagner was taken or no. The Invasion of Kentucky begun and ended in a week. Ignorant, perhaps, of the total failure and capture of Morgan in Ohio, the rebels under Pegram and Scott, numbering some 2,500, made a demon stration in Southern Kentucky. About the 27th of July they crossed the Cumberland River and ad vanced on Richmond, which is some 25 miles south of Lexington. A force of four hundred of our men at Richmond were badly handled and driven back to Lexington, July 28. On the 29th, they crossed the Kentucky river and advanced to Paris, wherie they met and attacked our forces. After an .engagement of two hours, they were .repulsed and retreated fol lowed by our cavalry. As Pegram’s invasion coincides suspiciously with the time of the State election in Kentucky, and as the purpose has been avowed to overawe the judges of elections, to intimidate loyal voters and to force the' election of disloyal candidates, Gen. Burnside has placed the State under martial law. All the military officers are commanded to aid the consti tuted authorities of the State in the support of the laws and the purity of suffrage. The legally ap pointed judges at the polls will be held strictly re sponsible that no disloyal person be allowed to vote, and to this end the military power is ordered to give them its utmost support. Treatment of Negroes in our Army by the Re bels Jeff. Davis’ proclamation of last December threatened slavery or death' to all negroes taken in arms under the national flag, and death to the officers commanding them. It is not believed that the threat has Keen executed against the officers, but a long list of atrocities against the negro soldiers and others of the race in various ways connected with the Go vernment, can already be made out. We quote from a contemporary, and with him believe the time is fnlly come for our government to interfere decisively if it does not wish to incur suspicion of taking inade. quate views of the whole subject. At Galveston, Texas, the free black servants of white officers—free citizens of Massachusetts living in Roxbury and Dedham, Norfolk County—were sold into slavery immediately upon the surrender of the national forces. The banner of the Republic under which they served gave them no shadow of protection. Near Murfreesboro, twenty black team sters in the employ of the Government were captured by the Rebels, tied to the nearest trees, flogged, and snot. Near Lake Providence, Lousiana, a large number of negroes, also taken from the Government employ, were captured, and either sold into slavery or shot. At Port Hudson, negro pickets who wqre taken by the Rebels were instantly hanged, in plain sight of the National camps. The negroes who led the .assault on the Rebel wo|ks were none of them taken prisoners, but all bayoneted after they were wounded or had surrendered. At Vicksburg no negroes were foundinside the works when the place surrendered. All those captured had been shot. At Milliken’s Bend, in the desperate fight which a portion of a negro regiment sustained against a heavily superior Rebel force, every prisoner and wounded negro was instantly shot, bayoneted, or hanged—their officers sharing their fate. In a word, the threat of Jefferson Davis r s Proclamation, issued last December, has been executed in every instance in which the Rebels have fought against negro troops, or in which they have been able to kidnap free blacks—soldiers or otherwise. For almost a year they have flogged, sold into slavery, shot, bayoneted, hanged and burned the black soldiers whom the Government calls ihtoils Bervice, who fight under the National Flag for the defence of the imperilled Republic, but who are neither protected nor avenged bv the Government There has been no declaration of a purpose to protect them. There has been mno single instance retaliation for the wrongs-they have suffered. Since writing the above, we see the President has issued an order dated July 80, designed to afford pro tection to this class of our soldiers, from which we quote the concluding sentence: “Tt is therefore ordered that for every soldier of the United States killed in violation of the law a rebel soldier Sail be executed, and for every one enslaved bv the enemy or sold into slavery, a rebel soldier shall be nfSed at hard labor ou the public works, and continued at such labor until the other shall be released anlreceive the treatment due to a prisoner of war.” Naval— Two out of the three steam blockade runners that left Wilmington, N. C., together lately have been captured—the Lizzie and the Merrimae. The latter is 500 tons burthen, was built for the re bels last year by the British, and was loaded with cotton. The Feterhoff, British steamer, whose capture by our blockade squadron was denounced as a gross outrage by the British Press, because she was bound to Matamoras, in Mexico, was condemned Aug. Ist, in tb‘e U. S. prize court at New York, on the ground that the cargo was contraband of war. fand iuattplijst. Brashear City, which was captured by the rebels under Magruder while Banks was besiegeing Port Hudson, has been retaken. It surrendered July 22nd, to Oapt. Johnson of the Gunboat Sac hem. The Opelousas railroad was much damaged by the rebels. Gen. Franklin has gone to Baton Rouge. * Negro Troops-Gen. Thomas’s Labors.— ln a recent address at Washington, Gen. Thomas stated his intention to start immediately for the West and resume the business of organizing negro Regiments in which he was interrupted by sickness. He said he had strong hope that before the close of the year he would have folly organized, equipped, and drilled, owe hundred thousand contrabands. Army of tie Potomac.—Gen. Lee’s army is at Culpepper. Gen. Buford, crossed the Rappahan nock not far from the scene of the cavalry fight before Lee’s invasion with cavalry, artillery and infantry; he drove the enemy’s cavalry until near Culpepper, where he found the enemy in strong force, a battle ensued, lasting until dark, when Buford withdrew, taking a strong position near Brandy Station. Rations for a long march have been issued to the army ot Gen. Meade and a deci sive battle at Culpepper is predicted. Horth Carolina.—The Raleigh Standard has come out squarely against Jeff Davis as a repudia tor unworthy of confidence and whose effort to establish a Confederacy will prove a failure. It ad vises sending a delegation to Washington at once, to see what terms can be had, without waiting the movements of Davis. Policy of the Government.—The New York Inbune says: No member of the cabinet harbors for a moment the idea of reconstructing the Union on a basis of slavery, and no flag of truce has been or will be entertained from disheartened rebel leaders which foreshadows an idea in conflict with the Emancipation Proclamation. From Rebel Sources. —The correspondent of The Mobile Advertiser, in Bragg’s army thus speaks of the retreat of the rebels on Chattanooga: Our sufferings have been awful beyond description. For seven consecutive days and nights we had wet feet and wet shoes, which were not once dry during an entire week. Our clothes too were wet all the time. The roads were horrible. Without sleep, without adequate food, often without water, we marched, worked, stood in bee of battle, in mud and water, stood guard all the night, and suffered for thirteen days ail that humanity can suffer in the flesh. It is ended now, but it will require weeks to restore us to our former morals, for we are greatly exasperated and demoralized. Our loss in baggage, clothing, and camp equipage can never be repaired, We have lost everything. None of us have but ono suit oi clothes, and many are almost naked, Nearly one-tenth of the army is barefoot. The single suit ot clothes that the luckiest of us have are wet and fermenting with the accumulated rain and sweat that have soaked them for thirteen days. Items- —There are now fourteen full regiments and a battery of negro soldiers in the field, and 25 regi ments in various degrees of organization. News from Europe to the 22nd of July has been received: The news of the fall of Vicksburg had been received. The limes calls the retreat of Lee and the capture of Vicksburg a “gleam of success,” and abuses the President and his cabinet for daring to think it any thing more. The Times is certainly more cynical than the South itself. The Daily News quotes the Times as having said but a few days before: ‘ ‘Gen. Grant had an impossible task before him. ’ ’ ‘ ‘Gen. Grant’s army,” we were again told on that day, ‘persists m the siege of Vicksburg, but it is difficult to see what possible hope there can be of reducing the city.” The curious inference follows that to accomplish what in the judgment of the Times is impossible, is according to the Times itself, to do nothing of any consequence.—-Russia, having rejected the proposal of the four powers in regard to an amensity and desiring instead an armistice only, it is now declared that her reply, though in every other particular assenting to the proposals, is not satisfactory. Meantime the insurrection is still active and generally successful Greece, —Dr. King writes to the Traveller from Athens, Greece, as follows: “July.4.—l am nowin the midst of a civil war. Party spirit and love of rule have at length divided the soldiers and citizens into two hostile bands, and in the streets and squares of the city blood has been flowing for two days. On July the Ist and 2d, a battle was incessantly raging, and the sound of guns and cannon told us the work of death was going on. Yesterday, through the intervention of the three protecting powers, Franco, England, and Russia, a truce of forty hours was proclaimed, which will end to-night or to-morrow morning. The above men tioned ministers have proclaimed that if fighting should commence during the time of truce, they will all leave the place, go on board their ships, and in vite all under their protection to go also, and cut off all connection with a country from which true pa triotism seems to be forever exiled.” Dr. King does not appear to entertain any especial apprehension in regard to his own safety. LATEST. Advices through rebel sources to the Slst of July represent the siege operations against Wagner as still in progress, and the rebel fire in return as ac tive. Our own advices to the same date say that Gen. Gilmore had several 200-pound siege-guns with in a mile of Fort Sumter.-—-The raid into Kentucky has ended. Some two or three hundred rebels have re-crossed the Cumberland,, leaving their stolen pro perty behind them. The election in Kentucky came off Aug. 3d, and so far as heard from is a decisive Union victory. A Governor and Congressmen were elected. i Further Foreign news, to the 26th of July, shows the Russo-Polish affair to be quite threatening. Prince Gortchakoff told Lord Napier that he could accede to nothing that would give the Western Powers any right whatever to interfere in Russian affairs. A first Class Church Bell for $lOO . —There is now no excuse for any country church being without a good bell. The American Bell Company, 30 Li berty street, N. Y., are supplying their Patent Steel Composition Bells at prices which place them within the reach of the smallest country congregations. For example, a five hundred pound Steel Composition Bell, with all the mountings, costs only $lOO, or less than half the sum asked for one of -the same calibre made of the usual material. In tone and durability they cannot be surpassed, indeed the patent alloy used by the' Company is considered by scientific men a decided improvement upon the ordinary bell metal, the volume of sound from a given weight being greater. The churches where the Steel Composition Bells are in use, and to whom the manufacturers re fer in their advertisement, uniformly testify to their excellence, and we think there is no hazard in saying that they are equal to any of like size to be found in the country. Certainly no Bells at any of our fer ries emit sounds more' clear and sonorous than those at the Jersey City and Union Co. ferry stations in this city, both of which are furnished from the foun , dry of the American Bell Company. The price of the patent steel composition is only 15c. per pound, or less than half that of “ bell metal,” and we pre sume there is no church in the land too poor to af ford a good Bell when it can be obtained for so small a sum as $lOO. The Company’s Bells are all war ranted.

Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or other material, and constructed substantially air-tight by the novel invention of patent Circular Ends, with out any joints, making it impossible for oxygen to pe netrate from the outside, thus rendering them more durable, and better adapted to the purposes for which they are needed. Uieyaretastefullymanufactured fromgrained Rose wood, Mahogany, Black Walnut; and other materials that render them less expensive and place them with in the means of persons of moderate circumstances, and all finished according to the wishes and taste of those giving the orders. While the Casket retains all the requisites of an ap propriate receptacle for the dead, its construction and appearance is such, as entirely to do away with all dis agreeable and unpleasant sensations. There is noth ing in the arrangement or shape of the Casket, that is in the remotest degree repulsive, but quite the con trary, it is beautiful. And surely that which tends in any degree to soften the poignancy of grief in the hour of bereavement, must commend itself to the fa vorable consideration of every afflicted heart, and sympathizing friend. The Caskets when required, are made air-tight, emitting no offensive odor, and hence are specially valuable in the removal of deceased bodies from any of the battle fields, and other distant points to remote localities for interment, and are not liable to the ob jections frequently made by Railroad Companies, when offered for transportation with the nsoal prepa rations. We guarantee, in our hands, the removal of the dead with perfect safety,. no matter how long buried, and if recently interred, in a good state of preserva tion, and without the least unpleasant odor, or we will make no charge for the Casket. The Caskets are furnished at one-half the cost of the so-called metallic coffin. N.B.—We expect to visit the different battle fields weekly. The undersigned also offers to the public in gene ral, his Patent Corpse Preserver, a New Invention, for the preservation of the bodies of deceased persons, by cold air alone, and without the application of ieei which is so repugnant to the feelings. By the use oi this Preserver, the funeral may be deferred for weeks, if necessary, to await the arrival of absent friends, as by the cold Sir process, the corpse will keep much longer than in the ordinary wav of pressing the body down with from fifty to a hundred pounds of ice, and saturating it with water.
