It, was originally his intention to embrace the legal profession, but, ufter devoting conniderable time to tl.o study of tlm law, liU nrturally strong devotional feeliups were intensely aroused by the tjuddeii death of his father, and ho was thus led lo assume the sacred calling for which ho was pre-eminently fitted- After proper preparation, ho was ordained n Iicacon in this city by .liishop White, in tho year 182.'!, and at once took charge of St. John's Church at Pinna, Lancaster county. In 1S2I, ho yix ordained a priest. In October, li"), ho became rector of Trin ity Church, Ktuton, as well as of a newly e'tablihed congregation at Allentow n, l'a. In LS2S he bee ime tho rector of St. .lame' Church, in Lancaster, which position lie continued to hold up to the period of his election us Assistant Mishop. in 1S58, and no deeply was that congregation attached to him, that they would not permit his pastoral connection with thorn to bo dis- Bt lvea. even niter that event, i tiey in. as much speciiJ nileution fo them as his other arduous duties would permit. The fidelity which he displayed during his loiitr connection with St, .lames' Church, us well in the peculiar charm of his clerical nnd personal r.iaiiner, warmly endeared him to a very larpe circle of friends, and for a long period he has been regarded us mo of the most prominent ami universally-reppeeted divines of this S(a!fi He possessed toe peculiar luciilly of attaining great excellence as a reader, a preacher, and a pastor. Those who have h,vd him read the beautiful service of hi Church, can never forget his extremely imprussivo style.

In 1S4S Dr. IJowman was elec ted Bishop of tho Diocese of Indiana, but, beine warnilv attached 'o his congregation, he declined to accept 'hat position. The failing health of Bifhop Poller, and tho arduous labors connected with this I no cese, induced the Episcopal Convention, ahich assembled in thi city in May, 158, to elect nn Assistant Bishoi. The contest was a very animated one. tho division of sentiment wiiieh existed in 'relation to what is popularly termed the High Church and Low Church feeling giving it peculiar interest. Those whoso proclivities were of the former character generally prefer red Dr. Uowman, and most of tho Others favored Dr. Vinton or Dr. Stevens. After fifteen close ballots, Dr. Bowman withdrew . his name, and moved thai a committee of ;.x clergymen be appointed to select a suitable candidate.

In good old times, when wo were a hap py and united people, tint man was re garded as a Patriot who lovod his whoI country, revered the Constitution, obeyed the laws and faithfully performed all his obligations as a citizen Ho might lup port tho Administration in power, or op pose it, without having his loyalty to tho Government or his patriotism qucsticned. Men equally good and true wero to bo found on both sides. P.ut in these troub lous times a somewhat different tesi of patriotism is sought to bo uppiied. Loy alty and disloyally, patriotism and treason aro not what they wero in tho palmy days of the Republic. Wo live under a new dispensation, and words have acquired an eniroly novel significance. If, tor instance, a citizen who used to exercise tho largest liberty in abusing tho President of tho United States, ridiculing tho Supremo Couit, encouraging viola tions of tho Fugitive Si ivo Law, advocat ing tho "irreprossiblo conllict,'' aud hint ing that, in certain contingencies, the Un ition might slide, is now it last 1 1 lend ol the Administratis., in lavor ot gagging or hanging every person who ventures to whisper a word of dissent to its policy, ho is a Patriot. Ho may encourage violations of tho Constitution, infringements upon private rights, turbulence and mob vio lence, and still ho is a Patriot. He IiUl.'t .liickson. ourlwliiol win inarK nun ns a I Patriot no longer donbts the necessity of his means 10 sustain tho (iovernment and provide for tho families of those who have gone forth U tight the battles of the coiui- try, nevertheless ho is a Traitor. Our modern Patriot, with his pockets pulled out with plunder says so. ami who shall ga, bo linsay his word Let tho pond citizen u Pcnuvrnt. and vent lira to declare that 11 hu advico had boon followed these things would not now be, and if the zeal ous Patriot does not h.wo him strung np for uttering treasonable lan'uno it will not be his fault. Now, at th risk of being denounced as traitors, we vcuturn to allirm that every citizen of this Freo Republic (we are not yet prepared to admit that this is a mis nomer) has the right to evamino and criticise all 1ht acts of his rulers public servants they used to bo styled nnd to express either approval or dissent. If the Executive has exceeded tho powers confi ded to him by the Constitution, ho has a right to iy o and if tho public money is squiiidcred it is his right and his duty to protest. The plunderers may protest, but that is to be oxpected. They may prescribe hanging, but what of it! While law governs there is not much danger. It i3 true that in these times, when the hnhe a.i cnyut is a practical nullity, the citizen is not seenro against illegal incarceration, but this power hss been exercised in o few oases that it hits hardly caused a per ceptible flutter. Men still daro to regard thcuixclvcs as free citizens of free and enlightened country, and so long as they respect tho liws und perform all their ob ligations, they will continue to form and express their opinions, unawed by power and unrestrained by tho threats of vio lence from psoudo Patriots. Railroad Legislation. If it were not so sad to see the liberties of a great nation full so su deuly and so low, there would be a propriety which would be appreciated by all the people, in designating our present national Legisla ture "The ('conic Lhnyn'st." Though its crimes ngainut tho Cor.stitut iun and the laws of the I'nion are mon-Hous, ami such us were never before committed nguiiiit a free people in tho same space of lime, yet they are so grotesque and so stu I endously inpiident, that one can hardly suppress the disposition to laugh at then. It is a rogul.fr "pop-goes-iiie-wea -el" Congress. Its doirs arc not l:f,s!altun but i ent, rifi!u. "l'r sta! iliai(c!" is the word, and all is changed. When Lincoln went to Washington wo had a Constitu tion, but ho trampled it out, and this "j,op-fijf4 l,c-u-,'j.iL'l" Congress says :ls all right Wc had a Supreme Court, but that has been set aside, and Congre.-t R:iys "Yt7.," and all is endorsed. There were such thinks us States, but they are- rub bed out and Yankee generals made Gov ernors ovei their sovereign people. Tho Constitution says the people shall not bo deprived of the r'ght to possess anus, but the President has stripped thetn of that right, and Congiesi says "amen-" Tho Constitution (that was) promised lo pro tect the people from unreasonable search, but they have been subjected to such in sults as having their very bedrooms en tered I y Lincoln's soldiers, their trunk' broken open, nnd even women have been might bo lb u rid under their garments. Congress says ''jiotlo," und it in pronoun ced all right. To back up and carry for ward ull these usurpations, mid fifteen or twenty others liko them, tho President asks Congress for 400,00(1 soldiers, knd "pmh," ihey give him 5110,000 ; Hoa.-ks for $400,000,000, ami 'y.vA," they give him ?.";00,000,i)00! And. then -jiraO:" again, and they pass a bill to give tho Piesident, all tho money and nil the men he wants. There is to be no limit to his draft upon the money and upon tho lives of tho people, ex -opt his own will. And all thoe abominations are hurried lino' Congress a it h railroad speed. All fair debate is cut olf. The engineers ring the bell, blow tho whistle, iho conductou mount the car nnd cry "All aboard," ni.il away Hies the train, .running over every body on ila trade, and carrying every thing through by steam. .Nolhiiig ia de bated, nothing is, investigated. Somo Ab olitionist reads a bill, and "jnibj," it is passed before the gli bos i tongue can say "Jack Robinson." On the word of Mr. Bbiir- a ma I never remarkable for his veracity it is resolved that Mr. Clark, a member from Missouri, shall not be al lowed his seat an investigation of tho merits of his cae is asked for ; but no no investigation is allowed "juvslo," ho is out of his seat without cither enquiry or evidence being permitted. Some mein her who rtrHi-iufx'ts how things used lo be tlono in Congress before Mr. Lincoln came to Washington, asks for a re fere nee of bills Hiid resolutions to p-oper commit tees; but no tho whis:lo blows, "all aboard," and away the train flashes. Mr. Breckinridge delivers a speech in the Senate, romarkablo for its candor, logic, respect for Constitutional law, and digni fied courtesy to tho opposition, whicli is ar.iwered in one sentence "all we want heie is the Kentucky remedy for traitors hemp." No man attempts to answer 1dm none dare attempt it. But the Re publican Senators answer all arguments and all appeals to save tho Union, wilh a haiigsui.m'scry for hemp ! A bill to pun inh conqiiiacy v ns reported read and pas sed in fifteen minutes a bill involving tho rights of property and of life, to mil lions, was pa-ssod without reference, with out debate, without comments upon its structure, as is evident from tho fact that if it has any moaning at all, it is plainly unconstitutional. But then wo have no Constitution. Tho man win was elected to administer the executive branch of the government has seized all branches of it kicks to ono ide tho Supremo Court, usurps tho powers of Congress, nnd Con gross, a suppliant tool of Abolition disu nionistn, goes down into abject submis sion, or traitorously joins in the daring sc.hemo to annihilate tho constitutional louudalious of the govcrnwext.

AVte Ynrk ), Hiiik. True Patriotism. F'rotnilio l'rosliytoriati. Tliero nro two classes of persons a niongst us nt present who claim to be true patriots, and wnrmlv attached to the Constitution and tho Union, hut they show their regard for the country in very different ways. Tho first class aro iiilluenc.od by reason and reliuion : tliev have deliberately maJe up t licit minds that our fjovernment is a; pood one, and tlmt it is our Solemn duty lo do all in our power to perpetuato and liiiusiuit it unimpaired to coming genera tions. Our fi'vn voluntary on'?.'!'imuti(s. tho welfare of tho people, the prosperity of tlie counLly, the interests of civil and re ligious liberty throughout the world, and till coming time, and the glory of hid, all require this. This cb'-s of persons are i cool, deliberate, and firm, bill kind ; they do not make many violent and donuneis- toiy .f pooches, nor write many inllamato- j ry in tides for tlio press. But they art. ei-' thor in tlio army themselves, or their j sons are there, nnd their property. 4 ime, i n nil itilluenco ure at the disposal of lliei Government.. They are gtvat'y grieve:! , at the present stale of affairs, and bear their country, their i.-Zhi country, on, their i. earls to the mercy-seat daily and hourly. Tlie burden ol their prayers is, -that God would perpetuate our glorious I'nion, and grant us a speedy and honor able peace. These are the true friends of the country ; they are thoi-e on whom she I relies with tho mo.-.t implicit confideiico in this the hour of her peril. j The second dn.-s are very zealous, noisy, blustering and tumultuous. On'all ooeu.! sions they are ready to' make bitter nndi denunciatory speeches, write inUamumto-' ry articles for the press, or preach war like aormons. They denounce the Fro.-d-tlent, tho Cabinet, and all who do notl agree with them, as tardy in their move- ' inents, vacillating and timid in their pol-( icy : they seek to establish their own pat , I'iotisin by denying the loyally of others. Pretty much nil they do for their country , is done with the tongue, or with tho pen. I They are not to be found in the army I themselves, nor any of those who are nojr- ly : Hied to them ; nnd so from devoting; their time und property to the service of the Government, they are eagerly watch ing every opportunity for promoting their own aggrandisement, and fill their pock ets by plundering the nation. Instances of thia kind of patriotism might easily bo mentioned, but this is not necessary. I recently heard a minister say, after he had preached a llaming sermon on tho state of tho country, when speaking of the South, say, "Kill tho devils ! kill tho devils!" This, it seemed to me, was very unlike the Spirit of Christ antl his Apos tles, and the entire gospel. Those per sons are governed by a bitter, denuncia tory, wildly fanatical and malignant spirit, rather than an enlightened, Christian pa., iriotism. But they aro very far from be ing tho host friends to tiio country, on whom she can rely with the greatest con fidence in this, the time of her danger. This she very well under-t.iiuls, and np' predates them accordingly. Tim Pukiu or W.ut Bai.i.oo.vs. Tho Wellington eoi i espuiideut of the Phila delphia Vt.w says ; Wise's bill loon went up early this mor ning, nnd when between Fort Corcoran and Pall's Cross Roads it was seen to col lapse suddenly and fall wilh rapidity. The general impression is that-it was tired into. Your reporter was at Fort Corcor an at the time, and witnessed the swift descent of the balloon. It'vas too far to a-oeruin how many wero in the car, but it is feared that their escape from a sud den and terrible death was almost impos sible. The balloon was up yesterday,' and could bo seen from the city sailing over Virginia. It rested during tho night, aud went it) again this morning, and was but ii short Uimo in tho air before it collapsed, leaving only a sm ill section of l!ie top filled with gas. The ilang'ii of accident from shot will ever operate as a serious objection to the use of balloons over the enemy's grounds: for, on going near cuo.igh to obtain a view of their works, the balloon is within reach of three nnd four mile rifle cannon, which, without any trouble, cen be so suspended ns to point upwards, or in any direction required.
