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.

bring ourselves to believe that the intervention which

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.

A Correspondent of the Siecle Paris, the government organ
France writes from Tunis, Algiers, as follows:
of "Our College philosophers at home may, and probably do accom
plish a great deal for the cause of science, but the Americans are the
people tq turn these discoveries to practised account. Many of the
modem inventions in use here are American, and one American
chemist, Dr. J. C. Ayer of Lowell, supples much of the medicine con
sumed In this country. His Cherry ‘Pectoral, Pills, Sarsaparilla and
Ague Cure constitute the staple remedies here, because they are of
easy application, sure in their results, and have the confidence of
the people. While the science of Medicine is carried to a higher
ferfection in our own country (France) than any other, it strikes a
renchmanae a little singular that an American Physician should
furnish the medical skill and remedies for our Principal Province.

THE RICHARDSON PREMIUM
BURIAL CASKETS.
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.
