EN GLAN D.
R4lllB of the Church.
A London correspondent writes: - .
The Church of England has certainly re
ceived some severe blows of late, and not the
lightest of them has been dealt in the tight
over Dr. Temple: Notwithstanding the eon
teniPtible character' of the opposition to ' the
new Bishop of Exeter, and the disgraceful
manner in which it was prosecuted, the fact
has been made apparent that the Crown has
at least the power to force upon the Church
for the highest positions men of any reputa
tion or incapacity, and that any corrupt or
profligate monarch. if aided by a subservient
ministry, could commit such an outrage with
out lendranee. Dr. Temple is a pare, liberal
anti able man, but, as an English journal re
marks, had ho been the reverse of all this. no
power in the Church could have successfully
resisted his elevation to the See of Exeter. No
wonder that sensible men see on the wall the
handwriting that assures them of 'the certain
downfall of a Church thus disciplined and
go4rned. If it be a great evil for The Church
to claim supreme authority over temporal
affairs, how much greater an • evil niustiv be
fur the State to rule with absolute and tyranni
cal power over spiritual affairs?

, lion Eitirradisair.. threatened Overthrow
of the Government.
teorrgspowlenco.ot the N. Y. Tribune.] ,
MP:kind, Dec. 29.—Mr. Seward has been re
ceived with all kinds of feasts in• Puebla and
Tlascala, and, accompanied by the Governor
and authorities of Euehla; he visited; on the
rtith inst.. the, ancient, sacred-city of the Az
tees, ChOlula. He W-aS received by the Indian
authorities at the foot of the Pyramid, which
has remained as a monument of the
sanguinary religion of the natives, He
there made a speech, in which he
manifests an important testimony regard
ing this republic in the following passage
rom this place, at once so sacred and Im
posing, I must take leave to say to all States
and nations that Mexico neither needs nor de
sires foreign protection ; that she is capable
of independence and self-government, and
susceptible of friendship ; but that in her ease,
as in all others, those who would enjoy her
friendship must offer her, on their part, a
friendship which. though it may not be benev
olent, must at least he sincere and disin
terested,"
But notwithstanding all the good desires of
„the friends of Mexico, there are times when
fears predominate that these people will
finally prove inadequate for the-reorganiza
tion of their country in the difficult circum
stances by which they are encompassed. We
are now in one of these gloomy epochs. The
insurrection in the Mountains of Pueblais evi
dently of a serious character., and is occu
pying an . entire division of the
Federal army together with the State
forces of Puebla and Tlaxcala. While the ats
tention of the Federal Government has been
directedto that quarter,
i Very serious occur
rences have taken place n San "Luis Potosi.
On the 15th inst., in that eapitaLthe Governor,
the legislators, and the political chief were all.
arrested in the palace by the national guard in
union with some of the citizens. The move- ,
meat was unanimous,and was effected without
the firing of a shot: The federal troops under
Gen.Larranaga remained nen tral,but evidently
their s 3 mpathies were in favor of the popular
party in the city. The leaders of tne people
and of the national guard elected Gen. Don
Francisco Antonio Aguirre as Provisional
Governor, and sent a communication to the
General Government asking it to order new„
elections in the State, alleging that those re
cently efilocted had not been fairly made.
The government replied by ordering Lar
ranaga to repress • the movement, and to re
instate the deposed authorities; but this
Chief, together with the Federal General
3lartinez, and their subordinates of the Third
Division, answered by signing a deed, stating
that as they considered. the people and Na
tional Guard of San Luis Potosi were justified
in their action against the authorities, they
could not use arms against them and against a
just cause. Consequently a large portion of
the &I Division have made conanon cause with
the National Guard and people of San Luis
Potosi, and the whole force under 'arms in
that city disobeying this Government will
pram* be noW at least 2,500 or :t,OOO men.
Gen. Eguiluz left Queretaro on the 24th; with
a small force,in the direction of San Luis Po
tosi, and Gen. Mocha has been ordered to
•proceedagainst that place from Tamaulipas
with all the troops he can muster, after leav
ing garrisons in • Matamoras and Tam
pico. But the general opinion is
that the movement of San Luis Potosi
cannot be put down by the limited force at
the disposal of the .Federal Government; that
on the contrary the existing administration
may possibly be overthrown. , Considerable
anxiety is felt regarding, the course that may
be adoptedin this crisis by Garcia de la
Cadena, the Governor of Zacatecas, who • be
longs to the literal opposition, and. has since
his accession to power, steadily augmented his
military- force and material of war. If he
should boldly support the revolters, ins action
would probably be decisive in determining
the fall of the present Government. •
A small force belongin,g to Vera Cruz was
attacked lately by 50 of the Puoblainsurgents,
but they were heroically resisted until they
were ail killed; their chief was taken pri
soner, badly wounded, and was immediately
shot by the instrrgents. • From the action of
the Puebla revolters in this affair, and the
fight at Xochiapulco, on the "' 3d inst.,
against the Sixth Regiment, we have evi
dence of a stern and cruel determina
tion on their part to make the war a san
guinary one. Taking advantage of a fog
which increased the darkness of the hour, at 2
o'clock A. M. they fell by surprise on the Ctit
Regiment, which bad 400 men and officers,
in Noclnaptilco, and a desperate tight took
place, in which 1 offieer and 40 soldiers were
slain; 10 officers, with tit rank and file, were
Wounded, and 126 dispersed or taken
prisoners, but of these latter three - offi
cers and twenty-nine soldiers afterward
succeeded in rejoining the regiment. The
small remnant fortified themselves in the
square, and heroically resisted until they were
rescued by the fourth regiment on the sth
inst., which latter force, in complying with
this brotherly duty, 'had to sustain two severe
combats in the day and night of the 4th inst.,
in which much bluedwas - shed on both sides.-
But the military honor of the fourth and sixth
regiments was nobly vindicated

The following communication has been

DE RODAS P S PROCLAMATION-STAR NEWS FROM
'ALL PARTS
HavA:NA, Saturday, Jan. 8, 1870,--General
de Rodas has issued a proclamation congratu
lating the soldiers and citizens on their con
duct, and pretending to give a true account
of the situation. The docuinent is a yery
weak one, and I am astonished that such a
piece of unmeaning stuff, full of inaccuracies,
should have emanated from a mail. like de
Itodas. The docUment and its assertions are
not in keeping with his character at all, and
their sound is more like a phillipic of the l'oz
de Chiba or the ,Diario, and as the telegraph haS
communicated to you the principal points of
the proclamation, however, I refrain from re
viewing_
Letters from Sancti Espiritus state that on
the I;lst tilt. Brigadier,General Goyneche,
with parts of the Rey, Colon, San Quintin,
Orden,Plzzard and Hernan Cortez Battalions,
and a section of mounted artillery (in all 4,000),
began the march towards Puerto Principe.
General Carbi arrived In Sancti Espiritus the
day previous and witnessed the setting, out.
If one may believe the Havana journals the
insurrection in Cinco Villas jurisdiction may
be considered as terminated, for they say the
troops have nothing more to do there on ac
count of the great niunbers that present them
selyes daily to the officers in command
at the different " posts. Remedios
dates of the Ist give accounts •of no
action of importance, scrimmages there being .
the order of the day. One night a squad of
soldiers paroling, guided . by a light, ap
proached and surrounded ten houses some
three miles from Remedios; and,. at the cry of
Yizyt Espana, the lights disappeared, and with
out further ado the troops tired upon the in
mates, who Made tracks for the timber. The
squad occupied the houses, as says the re
port* till reinforcements earne to their assist
ance. Several killed. and wounded Were found
by the troops. inforMation was obtained
from the wounded. (who Nlfereshot afterwards)
that there were about 200 rebels in 'and about
the houses at the time of the first.flre,— ritns;

therefor have been given, so the light ton
nage reported by us to-day will not astonish
our readers. They may, however, evince
some surprise at the appearance of the report
of the Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad, in
which, as in that of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road, the detailed system is discontinued. We
took ground against the new plan in behalf of
those of our subscribers who are interested in
the matter, but the Companies refuse to fur
nish the detailed statement for publication.
Their design, we suppose, is to prevent dispu
tation on the subject of ear distribution; but
it occurs to us that operators can still calculate
their proportion of cars without serious diffi
culty,
has not improved since our last reports.
New York and Philadelphia dealers are con
siderably discouraged, and complain badly of
the extravagant tolls, and a depressed market.
In. New 'York the Pennsylvania Coal Com.'
pany have gone into the retail trade at a
schedule of prices which completely over
throws other dealers,and destroys competition.
They retailed 1,000 tons from their yards, one
day last week, at the following prices, which
are their latest circular rates :
Grate and Egg • 5.6 ;0,
Stove - 700 Delivered.
Chestnut '6 00
Grate and Egg 5.50
Stove ... 6 00 t In Yard.
Chestnut 5 503
_ .
The greater portion of the operators in
the Lehigh region are making less than full
time, because .of the sluggish state of the
market, and the slight and exceedingly preca
rious margin on selling.pricea A prudential
spirit is apparent which, while the cost of
mining and transportation continue high, and
the demand dull, seems to indicate a decreased
production. The shipping points are still
stocked with thousands of tons of coal, and
until they are, relieved, the operators
must pursue this policy. The general sus
pension in the Schuylkill region will materi
ally increase demand soon, and if the rail
roads will consent to abate their transporting
charges, there is no -.necessity for a cessation
of operations in this region. In fact, the po
sition of affairs in Schuylkill will, we think,
in some degree counterbalance the advan
tages held by the Lackawanna companies, and
soon give Lehigh and Wyoming some chance
for competition.
The suspension in Schuylkill is the result of
the recent redsuction of the basis at Port Car
bon, from S 3 to S 2, and bids fair to last some
time. The men are reported as being Very
firm.in their rejection of the new rates, and
through their leaders have assured the
operators that , the reduction will not be
thought of nor submitted to. They hold that
the old basis was too low, and that an advance
on it was to have been asked, and, therefore,
until the cost of living declines, any reduction
of basis is out of the question. On the' other
hand the.operators contend that they cannot
compete with Luzerne county at the old rate,
and are forced to decrease. the basis'or sus
pend. This, we believe, is the present posi
tion of affairs on this subject.
METHOD/SF 13001 i CONCEI3I.II DIFFI.
CIALTY.
The Report of the Sub.Commtttee of In.
The Methodist of this week publishes some
factli in regard to the Book Concern financial
irregularities, the investigation of which was
undertaken by a sub•committee of Three,
which 'Committee devoted nearly a pintail to
the matter, and made a report, of which the
article in the 31elhoili.9t is a summary. The
report (made November 4) showed—(l.) That
under the methods of business adopted by the
Concern, any amount of loss was possible.
The Committee stated that the vouchers of
the printing department were not
original bills, but only monthly
statements ; the original bills were asked for,
but could not be found. (24 That no one was
found whose duty it was to examine and
check invoices elf goods purchased by the
Concern, and to certify their correctness before
they were paid by the casbier. This work, if
done at all, was done by the bead of depart
ment purchasing ; bills were found, errone
ously cast up, which had been paid without
being examine& - by anybody. (3.) That. the
wages-book of the bindery showed that since
the last General Conference, more than *1)00
bad been drawn by the superintendent under
the head of miscellaneous articles, for which no
vouchers were rendered,and co ncerning , Which
no satisfactory information could be obtained.
t 4.) That the committee cog llot obtain from
the accounts of the agents an correct idea of
I the compesasation of the bead of the. bindery.
- Careful inquiry, however, showed the follow
ing facts: In January, 1864, his salary was
raised from $1,600 to -:-2,0e0, and on this basis
he was settled with in September last. An
examination of the wages-book showed that
he had drawn; on three several occasioni,
since the last general Conference, 5100. Fur
ther inquiry showed that this had been done
for years, in pursuance of an agreement be
tween him and the agents, by which his com
pensation was to be increased $2OO per year,
but was not to appear on the books as a part
of hiS salary. Still further inquiry showed
that the gold-sweepings had been given him
for several years. The committee estimate the
value of these gold-sweepings for the last six
and a half years at 510,500, or more than $l,-
Ccii per year.
It was found that other employes were re
ceiving perquisites, but the amounts were not
ascertained. (5.) That the committee found
nothing in the accounts of the agents to show
that the quantity and quality of goods re
ceived correspond with the quantity and
quality ; of goods bought. "In fact," say the
committee, " thero is no record to show that
goods were received at all." (6.) That the com
mittee were led by the discovery of these de
fects of method, to inquire whether there had
been actual losses on merchandise in the
bindery. Their examination showed that,
reckoning fromMecember 1,11867; there were
1.400 dozens, of skins not accounted, for, which
must have cost the Concern not less than $20,-
000. The chairman of this sub-committee, the
Bev': James Pike, of New Hampshire, did not
sign the report of the Book Committee, and
is understood to dissent from it.
The Proposed State of Chesapeake.
An effoKt, is now making to consolidate the
State of Delaware, the Eastern shore of Mary
land and Accomac county, in Virginia, into a
new Stale, to be called Chesapeake. The
thirteen counties in the three States make the
peuinsulalying, between the Chesapeake,
the
Delaware'river and the Atlantic ocean.. It is
believed that these counties have a popula.
tion and identical interests of sufficient mi
-1 ortaneelo'warrant their creation into a new
tate. 'Under the proposed plan, Delaware,
of course, loses its identity, but this is to offset
the objection which the people of Virglnia
and Maryland in the counties adjoining might
have to annexation to so small a State as
Delaware, which by compromise may become
the larger and more important State of Chesa
peake. The plan is not a new one. Simon
Cameron, as .Secretary of War, in 1861 'offi
cially recommended it, and it has been di*
cussed from time - to time evor since, The
reason given for moving in the matter novls

The .New York. Times says :
The Ede Raiiway strikers at Long Dock
were yesterday assured of the support and co
operation. of their fellow-workers all along tthe
line of the road. Mr. Hill, who was Sent to
the Convention at Binghamton , on Thursday
morning, returned yesterday 'morning. rife
brought with him two delegates sent by the
Convention, with authority to take whatever
action in the premises they should think best.
Mr. Finley, from Buffalo, one of the, delega
tion,made an address to the strikers at a meet
ing convened soon after his arrival, in which
he said that the men at other shops were ready
to strike immediately upon being informed of
the refusal of the company to restore the
Long Dock men to their places. He also took
occasion to inform them that he would under
take to negotiate a settlement, and that it the
company refused to meet him,tbe men would
give it such a tight as would force it to do so.
In accordance with this arrangement, Fin
ley went to the offices of the company on
Twenty-third street, and saw Mr. Gould. The
delegate admitted that the men were hasty in
their action and talked generally in a manner
intended to conciliate. The President said
that the men could not be reinstated, and met
each argument of the delegate with a declara
tion that the company would not yield. It
would no longer stand dictation from its em
ployes.
Mr. Finley returned' to the strikers and in
formed them in the afternoon of the result of
his conference. He bade the men to stand
firm and, to desist from violence, and assured
them that the company's action would insure
the strike of the men in the machine shops at
all points along the road, from . Jersey Olty to
Buffalo, this evening. if this prophecy be
fulfilled—and 'Finley seems, to have been
vested with full authority
.to proclaim it—the
number of the strikers will be swollen to
about fifteen hundred.
Twenty-seven of the strikers were driven
by their necessities to apply yesterday tor situa
tions in \ the vacated workshops. The Com
pany manifested no willingness to take them
back, and they finally withdrew. their names.
They will receive front their 'fellow-strikers
such relief as they desire.
The Company is advertising extensively for
new hands. A number of men answered these
advertisements yesterday morning, but Upon
learning the nature of the strike refused to ac
cept the situations offered them.
CROWN DIAMONDS.
Queen Isabella's Thievery.
When the Spanish Minister of Finance ac
cused ex-Queen Isabella of having purloined
and carried away with her, in her flight . from
Madrid, jewels valued at seventy-three mil
lions of realm, the Cortes appointed a corn
mittee to investigate the affair. The following
is what is averred by the accusers :and the
friends of the accused : Seliors Prim and
Serrano says, that when Ferdinand VII. died
there were seventy-three millions'
Worth of jewels' possessed by the
crown of Spain. Queen Christina
made away with thirty-one millions' worth of
them, and Isabella took the remainder when
she fled to St. Sebastian and thence to Paris,
To prove that such jewelS existed' and .be
longed to the state; it is averred that the will
of Ferdinand VII. contained an inventory of
them, and that this inventory cannot now be
found. It is, however considered improba
ble that Joseph Bonaptiorte, who resigned be
fore Ferdinand did, should have failed to ap
propriate to his own use such property, had it
existed; yet more unlikely is it that the latter
sovereign should have been able to accumu
late them ; consequently Isabella could not
have possessed them. Admiral Topete moved
that the committee should be appointed, be
cause be believed that it would establish the
ex-Queen's entire innocence of the theft. Both
the ladies say that they are guiltless. Isabella
says that she bad hardly any jewels before she
was married, and that after marriage her hus
band gave her some very magnificent ones,
which he bad inherited from his mother and
grandmother; that• her mother gave her
utheis,which were worth twenty-five millions
of reals, which had been bequeathed to herby
King Ferdinand, and that she also bought
some with her own money.

[Despatch to tho Boston Advertiaer.j
WASUINGTON Jan'. la—The situation in
Georgia is regarded ' as very grave and im
portant. Despatches have been going back
and fotth between this point - and Atlanta yes
terday and to-day in great numbers. Some of
the - facts in the matter were given last night.
Governor Bullock telegraphs that twelve of
the - members of the Legislature who
took the oath committed perjitry,
in so doing: that the Democrats are
jubilant and defiant; that they will overthrow
the loyalists unless General Terry turns out
the disqualified members and seats others ;
Hand that the case is critical, demanding
immediate attention of the President. Cap
tain Bryant, one of the members of the
Lower B ouse, and late Postmaster at Augusta,
sendS a lottg despatch, saying he stands by his
record as :Union soldier and Republican,
bas resigned his post-office in order to serve
his State, and that no matter what anybody
charges, he intends remaining in his party
and doing what lie can to perfect it. He
charges Bullock, with corruption and usurpa
tion, with acting illegally in the organization
of the Legislature, with trying to serve selfish
ends, and withbeing willing to jeopardize
everything else for the sake of securing his
own election to the United States Senate. He
says that if Bullock permits the organization
of the General Assembly it willpromptly
ratify the fifteenth amendment, elect anti-
Bullock Senators, and fully comply with the
requirements of the reconstruction laws.
