cuts.
Jle was ason ot Mj. rwmnn, of Wilkes
Larre, Pennsylvania, a distinguished offi
cer of tho 'evolutionary army, and born
in tho year 1S00. 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. His sermons and ad
drehacs, whether written or extemporane
ous, were characterised by a ehastencss
and elegance of language, a dptli of feel-

tho fortuiMt choice of tho present in

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 remains were promptly sent hick

PATRIOTS AND TRAITORS.
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

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

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

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

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

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

unconstitutional. But then wo have no

show their regard for the country in very

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. The r ilia cannon of tho second
Rhode Island throws shot four ui'les, and
lo be of any service a balloon cannot bo
ono half of that distance from the spot, to
bo examined. Even nt an elevation of a
mile, no balloonist could ha-vo discovered
the batteries at Bull Run; but not dis
covering tlum ho might report that no
no such defenses existed there, The bl
loon may, however, bo need with groat ad
vantage in noting the advance of troops
on the main road, and in watching the
pepcrul movements of an army during an
engagement.
