Blsbop Clarkion, of Nebratka, then preached the consecration teimuu from tbe texi:"Oo upv 1111 X come, even unto tbe great sea weal--ward." He began by saying tbat tbe position to which the Blsbop elect bad beeu called was one ot tbe proudest, mot honorable, and Im portant, and then coDtiuoei by alluding to the great want of our Western cjuolry Xor mis sionaries. When the work of the General Convention Is folly accomplished we shall have five Mission ary BUhop In the West; bat tbat naoaber Is utlrely lnsafficlenl; we should send out at least seven lu addition. Keraember that the least of iheue Western dioceses U more t hi a doable the slee of the State of PenusylvauU, and what In such a vast region can one man, Je be ever po arduous and nctive, accomplish? We want a Missionary Bishop In every Terri tory- Dally the rulBlouury labor In those -places Is becoming more ditnault. The Terr! lories are Browing Into Hlates.

On HorlDturul authority we plead theo for a BNhop In every Territory, ."even unto the great sea eatwara." Bat there are other grounds. We plead for an Increase in the number of bishops because suoh an Increase is dictated by tbe soundest reason. Mow Is tbe time to do our work, if ever. Toe a'rrltcries are now formative, and we en easily Insert our leaven Into the yet unbar d ned lump.

As far an Ibis is concerned, If the Missionary TllMhnn la tbe riitin Kin l or a mau, tr lie oe suon man as tbey supposed who sent him out, he cannot fall of belli k the cuoiceol tne people. But suppose hedoes not receive thelrsupport, Wby, then let him retire let him not prevent Ibe nroeressof the Church: let him not pUce felmtelf as an obs'acle In tbe way ot go-ipel advancement. And to this stepping aside every man would exclaim, amen. IodtviduaU in the ri nrch. as In tbe world, are notbtne. The people of the West are waiting for the omina of tbe armed and drilled and expe rienced soldiers of Christ, A great work i to tie done in that vast country in mat portion of our land so soon to be the home of millions. 1 beseech yon, then, to look out seven men of goou report, ami seua mem to tue harvest on sue western plains.

Mr. Anuand publishes another letter In reply to Mr. Home. He takes np Ur. Home's poiuts teriatim, tod disputes bis conclusions respecting the charge against the Government organs of being annexationists. He accuses Home of encouraging and dissemi nating annexation sentiments among Nova Ecotiaus, and says the leaders of the local gov ernment have no other desire than to recover their lost constitution, and oconpy the same position they enjoyed two years ago as a self- governing eolony of the Crown. None of them desire annexation, nor will any of them make an effort in that direction, until all constitu tional means have been exhausted to regain their liberty. But the time may come, if the BiitUh Government continues its opposition, when tbe einceiity of the Americans in tbvtlr professions of a determination to niuintain the principles of tho Monroe doctrine, and not allow Dy community on this side of theAtlantio to be coerced into a state of vassalage, may be pat to the test.

The Reeeul Treaty between our Govern meut and Russia provides for teenriog complete and etllcient protection to the maoulacturitig industry of their respect ive cities and subjects, and aerees that any counterfeiting in one ol the two countries of the tradcmaik aflixd on the other's merrhindise to show its origin and Its quality, shall be strictly prohibited aud repressed, and sbail i;ive grounds for an action of damages in favor of the injured party, to be prosecuted in the courts of the country in which the counterfeit shill b? proven.

It is also reported that the Treasurer dislikes the existing Three and Five Cent Coin, aad will recommend that the irsue be called 'n as fast as postdble and their further issue discon tinued. General Grant. General Grant, in private conversation, has said that we can expect no permaaent peaee with the Indians until tbe Government transfers the Indian Bureau to the War Department. He sajtlhat the entire system of furnishing supplies to the. Indian is vicious, and aeeds reformation from the bottom. Tne Indians are ostensibly supplied with scores of thiegs lor which they have no ase whatever, and are swindled in both quantity and quality even of the.-e goods. Guns and ammunition are soil them, in violation of law, by agents, or their aisociates, and it is im possible to punish them through the courts. It the Bureau were transferred, the Indian supplies would then be furnished just as army supplies are furnished, aud tbe whole work could taen be done at one-qsarter to one-half tbe preseot cost. The army now gfts all the kicks aud cufls of the Indian troubles, and can have no voice in the Indian management. FR 0MBALTIM0RE. Altai lu the Monumental City. tfy.iM LyetpiMcS !
