CONVOCATION OF THE EPISCOPAL CHVRCH.—
Several clergymen connected with the Epis
copal church in this and adjoining counties
held a convocation in the Lutheran church
here last Week which was kindly lent for the
occasion, the services were very interesting,
and sermons were preached by the Rev. John
F. Esch of Paradise, Lancaster Co., Rev. J.
Newton Spear of Altoona. and Rev. John
Cromlish of Columbia. Episcopal services
are being held in the Lutheran church everjjj
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock and at the
Springs every Sunday morning and evening.
Efforts are being made to erect an Episcopal
church edifice in this village.
BsJX.We would call the attention of our rea
ders to the fact that Prof. J. W. Taverner, the
distinguished teacher of Elocution is staying
at the Springs. We hope that the Professor
may be prevailed upon to give sonie Readings
frutu Shakspeare in town and at the Springs
during his stay. As regards his reputation we
need onlv call attentiou to the following high
testimonial from Right Rev. Bishop Stevens :
H'M. Bacon Stevens, l>. D.
PHILADELPHIA, 12th Jan., 1857.
Pear Sir: —Having gone with you through
cirtC course of your Instruction. I am happy to
testify my appreciation of your abilities as a
Teacher," ana of the subject matter of your
teaching.
Having been myself a Professor of Belles
Lettres and Oratory in the University of Geor
gia for five years. I carefully scrutinized and
sified your instruction in every possible way,
and am prepared to say that your system has
in it more true philosophy, more real excel
lence and more practical value than any 1 have
tier met with.
Your lessons on the graces of Tiiud, on
Flexibility of Voice, on Melody, on Oratoric
al Delivery, and on Gesture, are invaluable,
for the sound principles and deep philosophy
which they contain. The nj:pi who thorough
ly masters these, possesses the instruments
whereby he can become a superior reader
and qieaker.

THESTON, N. J., July 13, 1805.
KIUTOKS IXQUIKER: About five hundred
ra. ii of the 2nd N. J. Cavalry, whose term of
service expires prior to the Ist of October,
arrived here on the evening of the 13th.
When I wfote last we were near Ply
mouth Landing, on the Tombigbee river. I
will try and give you, in as few words as pos
sible. an account of our trip from there here.
Drawiug ten days rations for the men and the
-ame amount of forage for the animals, we
left camp on the 6th of .Tune with orders to
proceed to Yicksburg, at which place we ar
foed on the lfitb, coming via Goodman, Kos
ciusko. Benton and Mechanicsburg, crossing
the Big Black at the former place. The heat
was intense and the men and animals suffer
ed much for want of water. T_ nlike the State
of Alabama, there are but few running streams;
people depend mainly upon cisterns and wells
for a supply, and the latter is mostly of a very
, of quality. The land; the route we travel
led, is generally of a poor quality, and partic
ularly so after getting some twenty-five miles
west of Columbus. It seems to have been
tilled successively in cotton and corn so as to
render it totally unproductive, unless it be for
the raising of blackberries. We mainly
'ubsirted on the latter during the trip,
for little cottotl witt planted this season,
their attention being directed principally to
the raising of corn. Wheat was being har
vested. but of such a quality that farmers in
:r section would scarcely think it worth har
vesting.
Well, Tennessee, Louisiana. Alabama, and
Mississippi may be very fine States, but I
sfe not vet seen any pfirt of either that I
*ou!d rather live in thau the '"Old Key :
stone." % :
We went into camp at Bovina, on the
southern R. R., ten miles from Yicksburg.
a the immediate vicinity there was much to
1 o-cn. The situation of the old camp can
be distinctly traced out, and, dotting the hills,
w? the graves of those heroes who sacrificed
'neir Ibes for the COmtnOn country. Many
have been taken up, itat many there fife
-Iceping there who are unknown. Peace to
their ashes.
Here we laid until the 29th of June, when
*e were mustered out ot the service. The
wxt day we Went aboard the '".Maria Den
ning.' at Yicksburg, landing at New Orleans
'-ii the 2d of July. The glorious 4th was pass
ed in the "Crescent City." I have not the
'pace or I would give you an account of the
proceedings. Speeches were made by prom
inent military men and the day wound up by
grand display of fireworks. 'I he shipping
presented a splendid spectacle. I shall ever
remember the AOth anniversary of American
Independence passed in the "Crescent City.
On the sth we embarked on the steamer
"Atalanta" for New York. Y\ e left New
Orleans at 6 P. M. the same day, crossed the
l| Sr at the mouth ot the Mississippi at 6A, M.
'he next morning, passed Key West light
house at 4 P. M. of the Bth. reaching New
York at 1 P. M. the 13th, just in time to wit
ness the total destruction of Barnuni's Mu
seum.
Mc had a pleasant passage until reaching
'he vicinity of Cape Hatterus. The stor A
commenced on the night of the 11th, and
lastt-d some four hours. All ou board tho't
'he would go to the bottom, certain. "Life
on the ocean wave" may all be very nice, but
'<r me give me the dry land. Three of ou/
"umber died during the passage, two off the
toast of Georgia on Sunday evening and one
the night of the 12th off Cape May. Their
■•dies were sewed up in a blanket, the steam
-r stopped, they were lowered over the side
the steamer into the "deep blue sea,
hree volleys were fired and the vessel
again proceeded on her way. Twice ou a
quiat Sabbath evening did this happeu. It
"tmed hard, but it had to be, and they "sleep
he lust sleep that knows no waking,' f in the
l.niet depths of the sea, with the waves to
" their last sad requiem.
! esterday about 2000 of the men attended
Hetehel Hall to partake of the entertain
-■ent provided at the expense of the State.
te a number of them were also entertained
i'e Soldiers' Rest, where tfie ladies had
-de abundant provision for their reception.
■ - men are mustered out and are only wait
- fur their pay, which, we understand will
' Stven to them next Thursday; iti the niean
time all who desire will haTe an Opportunity
to visit their hpiqes.i *,, ■
Yesterday we had the pleasure of seeing
our oM mess-mate, Jacob Deremcr, who had
come from home to procure his pay. Yes
terday evening he succeeded iu obtaining his
greenbacks sind left for home. From him 1
learned how the 4th was passed in Bedford,
and of the utter insignificance of the Copper
head demonstration. Another kick and they
will never have resurrection."

A I. A nor. lake of petroleum, fed from an cx
haustless soarce, is said to exist on the Isth
mus of Tehanntepec, not tar from the old
Transit Line. Among those who have recent
ly gone out there is John McLeod Murphy,
Esq., formerly superintendent of the Transit,
who claims to have been the original discov
erer and explorer of the lake. It being but a
few miles from navigable waters on both the
Pacific and Gulf sides of the sthmus, its con
tents could readily be shipped at small expense
to all parts of the world. #
THE statement, in some of the papers, that
Admiral Dahlgren had realized an immense
Amount of prize money, turns out to be incor
rect. The whole of his proceeds will not be
more than a thousand dollars. So efficient
was the guard maintained along the twenty
one ports sealed by the Admiral's squadron,
that the blockade runners were afraid to go
near him.
IN a trial iu progress iu one of the courts of
Sweden, a series of the most appalling crimes
has been brought to light. A clergyman
named Liudbaek, is charged with the murder
of several of his parishioners by administering
to them poison in their sacramental wine!
The proof is so conclusive against him that
not the slightest doubt of his guilt is enter
tained.
HON. ASA IbyrXEit, ot Mauch Chunk, has
set apart the sum of five hundred thousand
dollars to establish and endow a college near
Bethlehem, in this State. He has given also
fifty-seven acres of land, on which the college
buildings will be erected. Judge Packer is
now in Europe, but previous to his departure
he communicated to Bishop Stevens his inten
tion, and will superintend its organization
himself.
LATE intelligence from Mexico gives a
gloomy condition of affairs for Maximilian.
On the 17th ult., the Imperialist General. Cas
tagney reports having routed an eneauipment
of 2,500 Republicans with 70 French soldiers
at I.a Pasceu, in Sonora. In the State of Mi
horean,inhere, besides other triumphs Gene
ral Itegules, after an obstinate engagement of
a day and night, bad taken the town of t'ra
pan, and made prisoners of its Imperial gar
rison of three hundred, while in San Luis Fo
tosi, and other States. Republican guerrillas
were all giving '"Max's" men aninunensity of
trouble.
JAY COOKE has seut to Parson lirownhrw
seven-thirties for about, half a million in gold.
The specie belonged to the treasury of the
State of Tennessee when isham Horns was
its Governor. When the State was captured
by the Union troops, Governor Harris fled,
taking the specie along with him. General
Upton followed the fugitive rebel. The run
away escaped, but the gold was returned--to
Nashville, and Parson Brownlow decided to
convert it into United States Bonds. This
has been done by Jay Cooke, and the bouds
have been forwarded to Nashville.
THE Mormons are proved, by all recent and
foriflgf" testimony, to be faithless, cruel, and
full of treason. Outside of South Carolina
we had no bitterer enemies than the Mormon
leaders, and although like conquered slave
holders they profess to be friendly now they
are not to be trusted. The Daily Union \i
detie, published at Salt Lake City, ami con
ducted by a brave Union man, brands the
whole crew, without fear, favor, or affection.
These facts deserve to be known and recorded
at a period when the government is girding
up its loins to purge the whole land from ev
ery element or symptom of an attempt to dis
turb or interfere with its mighty progress.
CURTAILING THE CURRENCY. —The frac
tional currency is undergoing the process of
curtailment. quantities are redeem
ed daily at the Treasury Department in
Washington, and at the various sub-treasu
ries. It must be put up in packages when
sent for redemption, containing even hun
dreds of pieces—that is to say, each package
of five cent pieces must contain fire dollars;
of ten cent pieces, ten dollars, Ac. Differ
ent varieties of tlie same denomination of
curreuey must be sent in separate packages,
faced uniformly upwards, and mutillated
currency must be kept separately from the
the whole. Thus arranged, if these packa
fea be addressed to the Treasurer of the
'nited States at Washington, and register
ed at the Post-office, returns by chock may
be expected in from eight to ten days. This
is all very well so far as it goes, and we hope
the business of adding it in for redemption
will be increased. But we should be glad to
hear that the printing of three and five cent
notes has ceased entirely. While they arc
kept in circulation the one, two and three
cent coins that are in large supply at the
Mint, will not enter freely into circulation —
not' for the reason, however, that some ar
gue, that the people prefer tlie paper to the
coin, for the very opposite is true. The pa
per being loss valuable, every trailer pays it
first away, thus keeping it steadily in circu
lation, while the coin, as a thing more valu
able, is snugly ensconced in some out-of-the
way pocket. Remove the cheap, dirty,
'small three and five cent notes, and the coin
will at once couie forth, and gradually break
tlie way for the retiring of the ten cent
notes. — 1 h ifatMpli m Lmger.
THE GREAT PENSION LIST.—It has been
many times said, now that the war is over,
we must set about paying the expenses.
The national debt will soon be placed in a
position to be constantly diminished by the
methods of taxation now in use. But there
is one obligat ion which we cannot so readily
discharge, which will be valid against the na
tion for many years ; and that is, the obliga
tion to pension those who have deserved
well of tneir country. We can hardly judge
of the extent to which this will reach, but
since the war has closed, the claims arc rap
idly accumulating and are arranged as rap
idly" as possible. It Is stated t hat since, the
war began 84.(X *1 pensions have been issued;
54,000 to invalid soldiers, and 50,000 to will
ows, mothers and minor children. The
payments to pensioners the past year have
amounted to $9,000,000 and when all pen
sions arising from the war shall have been
granted, tlie annual expense will be about
i13,000,(K>.
"KEEP THEM OCT." —The New Fork
Herald certainly has a very concise way of
putting foots. It says:
"There never can be a party successfully
constructed at present, unless such men as
Vallandighani and Pendleton of Ohio, the
Seymours of New V ork and Connect icut, the
Woods of New York, poor Pierce and musty
old Buchanan are left out of the ring. That
may be set down a- a fixed feet. This crowd
will kill any party."

occupied by Holers ft Raymond, clothiers,
and Reeves' billiard saloon were consumed.
Number 21 1 Broadway, occupied by Knox,

men were iu force and the flames were here
stayed, no one was injured. The loss is said
to be one milion, on which there is half a
million insurance. The lire originated over
a boiler in the Museum basement,
NEW YORK, July 15. —The Tribune says;
It is now declared that the famous Museum
was fired by incendiaries in a half-dozen pla
ces simultaneously. It is suspected that the
guilty parties .were rebel sympathizers, who j
were offended by tire prominence Barnum j
has given to the manner of Jeff". Davis' cap- j
tare. Barnum has received letters of sym
pathy, and offers of curiosities for his new
Museum. Tlio proprietors of the Winter
Garden have tendered Hie use of that estab
lishment for a few weeks. The proprietors
of other theat res have offered wardrobes and
properties. Prominent actors offer to ap
pear at the benefit to Barnum's company.
Ex-rebel Congressmen Garnet, of Virgin
ia, and A vary and Henry, of Tennessee, are
in Washington applying for pardons. All
of these gentlemen were formerly in the
United States Congress.
Geu. Carl Schurz has been sent by the
President to travel through the South en a
tour of observation as to the working of
emancipation, loyalty of the whites, the con

States for immediate restoration to their
status prior to secession. He will visit
every State lately in revolt, Texas included.
TIIK PretsD F the 7th inst has the follow
in? sensible view of the Oil trade and Oil
stocks:—The oil-stoek business is still in its
transition state. The wonderful success
that many of the companies have attained
in the past, the remarkable swiftness with
which fortunes were made, by the lucky,
stimulated speculation to an extraordinary
extent. In tne beginning everything was
favorable, but too much speculation has
affected the whole oilpioducing occupation,
and at the present time the petroleum inter
est is flattened out. Oil stocks are discour
aged, and buyers are cautious. Undoubt
edly many of the moonshine corporations
which have been started will have to fail.
They will exhaust the means and patience
of their stockholders. The latter will resolve
to pay no more money, considering what
they nave already contributed as inevitably
10-t. Either a few men wi 11 get the manage
ment of them, or they will be sold out, and
those who come in at the death will bag the
game. And yet, with all these disadvantages
petroium, per se, will uot suffer. It has be
come an object of worth to commerce, and
the demand for it will be steady. If the
number of producers decrease, the value of
the productions increase. The companies
organized for the production of oil, which
have avoided the arts of the stock exchange
which have at all times paid attention to the
development of their lauds, and which have
been managed with patient industry, will
rnp thu bonrfif. Ttkeir eouts
from the first. It was to attend to their
own business, unmindful of the turmoil
around them. They are now approaching
the time when it will be demonstrated that
this policy will pay. As the number of
flimsy companies fade out —as the chaff is
riddled from the grain—the old-fashioned,
honestly conducted companies will rise in
estimation. They will find their reward in
good prices for their oil and enhanced value
for their stocks. Happy they who have in
terest ia such concerns,for they will undoubt
edly receive the benefit of their patience and
perseverance.
The general depression in all branches ot
business has seriously effected the stock
market, and oil stocks have been extremely
dull for some weeks past. Indeed there are
very few sales of any stocks, and there will
lie but few until the summer months are
passed. But while stocks are dull in specu
lative channels, there never was such earnest,
gigantic and diversified development in the
oil region as this summer. Despite the se
verity of the winter, which. stopped all op
erations preparatory to bovine, and the des
tructive March flood, wfcrch carried off half
the derricks on the oil streams, the work of
developing has been prosecuted with bound
less energy-, and must soon tell Sensibly on
the value of all stocks which have any sub
stance in them. All the leadiug commercial
journals predict a degree of activity in oil
stocks this fall surpassing anything we have
yet witnessed. They will then bo better un
derstood —the worthless and bogus com
panies will lie exposed and driven from the
market, and the good companies will gener
ally have tested the quality of their lands.
The sooner the bogus, companies are exploded
the I tetter, as the jaiblic will then be able to
invest with much more saftv and the stock
of reliable companies, which is now pros
trated with the bogus organizations because
accurate discrimination is impossible, will
advance in value to a just standcred. We
.are glad to see the officers of several swind
ling concerns in the courts now in Philadel
phia and New York, and the more vigor
ously that work is pushed by defrauded stock
holders, the sooner will holders of good stocks
realize a just value for them. All the indi
cations point to the production of vast quan
tities of oil this summer and fall, and many
stocks which now hane sluggishly oath*
hands of owners will attain vast value.
There arc over twenty welLs in various
stages of progress on the Imperial property,
and four on the Sterling—all of which must
be tested within sixty days, and some of
them sooner. An 800 barrel well was struck
on Pit-hole quite near to the property of the
Sheridan and Cherry Run property last
week, and that stock is consequently held at
an advanced rate.
GET OFF THAT mr.Mp.—Atuongthe parol-;
led rebel prisoners who came up on the rtea
mer Lady Gay on Tuesday, was a man lit
tle over seven feet and a half in height.
He started out with the Missouri troops at
the commencement of the war. and stuck to
then* until the "dog was. dead and never
received a scratch, Soon after he was mus
tered into the rebel Service, the regiment to
which he belonged appeared before the Col
onel on dress parade, and the Colonel, who
prided himself on the fine appearance and
good si/.e of his men, cast his eyes along the
line with a smile of self-satisfaction, until
they rested on the towering form of the tall
Missonrian, when he knit his brows, and
called out fiercely in thunder tones, "Get off
that stump, you impertinent scoundrel, or
I'll order you under arrest." The soldiers
looked at each other, wondering what the
Colonel meant, hut no one moved. Finding
his authority treated with disrespect, he
fairly boiled with rage, and, advancing to
the l>ig soldier. he exclaimed, "What in the
d —l arc you standing on?'' The soldier re
spectfully replied, On my feet, Colonel.'
The Colonel was completely taken back, as
he surveyed this tall specimen of humanity
from head to foot in blank ainamement: he
mnmbled an apology for his rude remarks
and hastened away leaving his men convuls
ed with laughter. "Get off that stump
became a byword with the uissouri rebels
and it will no doubt live as long as the long
Missourian.- Cairo fhmocrat,
Copperhead lies about Catholics.
We clip tie following from the A". Y.
Tribune.
To the Editor* of the N- Y. Tribune.
Sir: Soon after the arrest of the eonspir
-8 trs and would-be assassins of the late la
mented President Lincoln, a reporter of The
N. Y. Wrrfhl stated that they were all with
out an exception, Catholics. This assertion
was extensi 'ely copied into the papers of the
country, and was looked upon as true, for
no Catn< lie paper here in .New York attemp
ted to refute, live Catholic Telegraph of
Cincinnati denied its truth,but the World did
not make the correction. Now, what is the
fact? Four of the conspirators were yester
day on the gallows expiated
their awful crime, but only one of the four
died a Catholic. Of those imprisoned, on
ly one. l)r. Mudd, is a Catholic.
Now, what I wish to say about this is,
that if The Tribune has made the statement
The World did, we would not have yet
heard the last of it: for The Tablet, The
Freeman. Irish American, &c., woidd have
written columns in reply, and would have
denounced it as a Black Republican, Abo
lition lie! You would have been abused by
these organs ol Irish Catholicism (?) through
all the moods and tenses; and it would be
adduced at the next election as an evidence
of the anti-Catholic and anti-Irish spirit of
Abolitionism. But The World being a good
sound Oopperhead-Pro-Slavery-Democratic
paper, it has I suppose, a special license to
say whatever it pleaae* about Catholics.—
Oue thing is certain, Democratic papers can
abuse the Irish and the Catholics to their
hearts' content, without a protest from the
would-be-Catholic press, which shows plain
ly enough that the Democratic-ridden Cath
olics of New York think more of their pol
itics than they do of their religion. I came
to that conclusion years ago, and even,' day
confirms it more and more in my miud.

Democracy*
It is 1 'Democratic'' to assail and malign
soldiers of the Union, who have sacrificed
in its eause—who have borne the brunt of
danger on the field of battle —who have sav
ed our institutions, while copperhead press
es and disloyal orators doing every
thing to divide and distract Northern senti
ment and to render possible a triumph of
Rebellion.
It is "'Democratic" to assume an advoca
cy of the course of every General who quar
rels with the War Department, and tojeon
c-lude that the Government must be wrong
whenever an individual wearing two stars
on his shoulders choses to dissent from its
policy.
It is "Democratic" to allude to United
States Judges and other Federal Represen
tatives iu the South as "ignoraut pettifog
gers." "cotton swindling vagabonds," "'ex
alted ignoramuses;" ana so on, while taking
care to sjieak of Gen. Lee in no terms less
complimentary than "retired hero," or
"chivalrous soldier."
It is "Democratic" to urge measures of
the largest liberality for restoring to proper
ty possession, civil right and social stand
ing, Rebels who have shot down our soldiers
in battle, while denouncing as "fanaticism"
any proposition to ameliorate the condition
or increase the privileges of loyal Blacks,
who have fought under the banners of the
Union—steadfastly and uncomplainingly
making every required sacrifice in its cause.
It is ' 'Democratic'' to ridicule the freed
men because they do not immediately de
velop the best qualities of free laborers,
while at the same time applauding the reso
lution of their late masters not to hire them
or permit others to do so, but to drive them
from the Southern States if possible.
In sh"rt, it is "Democratic" tu,
ovary measure wuiuu iwm Co n completion
of our triumph by the extinction of those
elements at the South which initiated war,
and waged it with such brutality and feroci
ty. The same causes which made the last
"Democratic" Administrations pliant tools
of Slavery propagandistn, forbid the leaders
of the party from taking any ground which
will increase the embarrassments of their
old time associates iu the Rebellious States.
The future strength of the "Democratic"
organization (if it is to have any.) will be
imparted by the fourteen classes exempted
from general pardon in the President s am
nesty proclamation. That accounts for the
"milk in the cocoanut,"— Sovicrsct HeraiiJ.
Emigrants Wanted.
The Richmond Republic , (quoting the ac
counts of emigrants arriving in New York,
says: "Bend them South. We are hunger
ing and thirsting after these stout, healthy
emigrants. Our fields want them; our for
ests are sighing for them; finance wants
them; the fireside wants them; politics wants
them. We have broad acres and a welcome
for many a day's importation of them —yes,
many a month's cargo even at this high rate
and we have a genial country? a hospitable
people, easy employment, indulgent task
m oxters, and abounding room for all. Let
them come, with their healthy country blood
and stout country limbs, their new ideas and
new systems of labor, with their intelligence
cleanliness, thrift, sobriety, industry, theilr
virtuous habits, their respect for authority,
.their obedience to law —and we will make
room for them gladly. All that is.needed to
turn the current of migration southward,
and especially towards Virginia, is to con
vince the workingmen that they will have
equal rights there. They object to "task
masters," no matter how "indulgent" they
may be; and while there is any air of task
masters about Virginnia. no inducements
will gel free men down there. — JV. Y. Pott.
GRAPE CROP IN ILLINOIS. —The grape
crop in the western part of Illinois is very
heavy this season, especially in Hancock co.,
where the estimated yield of wine will be
nearly 1,000,000 gallons, against about 250,
000 gallons last year, when the grape crop
was almost an entire failure. Almost every
farmer in that county has a vineyard. The
grapes cubivoec* i arc the (atawoa ; the Del
aware, which produces a wine like the Fors
i terriesling, one of the best brands of the
Rhine : and Norton's Seeding, which pro-
I duces a wine similar to Port. The produ
j cers reolize from $3 to $4 i>er gallon.

P. V„ aged 28 year*.
The deceased enlisted, under the writer of this
obituary, Sept. 1.861, for three years. After the
expiration of this term, he re-enlisted for three
years more, and served until the close of the war.
This brave and daring soldier deserves more than
a passing notice. He entered the ranks as a pri
vate, but owing to the integrity of his charurtor
and gallantry in action, he was proinotod until he
ranked as Ist. Lieutenant. He was a pure patriot,
and entered the ariny because he loved the Union.
He was highly esteemed by officers and men, and
distinguished himself upon many a battle-field.
God protected him amid the dangers incident to a
soldier's life, and permitted him to die in the
bosom of his family. He leaves a wife, five chil
dren, • large circle of relations and friends, to
mourn his early death; but these have the consola
tion of knowing that fig died a peaceful and hap
py death, and is now enjoying the bliss and hap
piness of a true christian. May we, also, be ready.
