A Chance for the Home Guard.
The honors of martial renown have np to
this period been monopolized by those who
have volunteered to go forth in search of the
enemy wherever he could be found, and even
a large portion of the troops, who have
been fully prepared for encounters “ 1’ tire
imminent deadly breach,” have been. com
pelted by the nature of the campaign to con
tent themselves with quiet camp or garrison
duty, and hive never yet been enabled to mea
sure strength with the insurgents. Of course,
under these circumstances, the opportunities
afforded to our Home Guard for proving their
valor have apparently not been very brilliant.
Bat to sucb an extent have the insurgents
been emboldened by their success at Ma
nassas, that a large party among them are
clamoring for a complete abandonment of
What they term the defensive policy, and
the commencement of a series of bold
assanlts upon points at which we have hereto
fore encountered no serious opposition. One
part of tnis programme appears to have been
entrusted to Gen. Pillow, who, it is rumored,
intends to attack cst. Louis or Cairo. Ann*
ther feature of their operations is said to be an
attack upon Washington and Baltimore j and
this may be attempted. Ot course, we do not
believe they can possibly succeed in this rash
design; and if we meet with no unexpected
disaster, it is scarcely probable they will ever
undertake it. But what sort of ideas some of
onr enemies entertain may bo seen by the
following paragraph in the Charleston Mer-
cury :
<• It is to bs hoped that, within a very shot'
spaas of iim« the army of tho Potomao will bo m
oraased to an extant that will render all tff>ns o
the onamv futile beyond contingency., and onsb.*
onr skilful geaorsls to oarry the war across 'h
bo.'dir. In ttiis latter pent of view, theob a-n
-meut of bo many fino w.-gonr and horses is an ex
eeedicgl? fortunate oircnsn*anco, laying marl
tf'Os and a g.-est txaenditnre ot money. Wi en
Wa-hington Mis. and Maryland is redesmed, la
Bhiladiph.ia prepare, for this is a game of two
OOunirloS”
Thus it will be seen that the journal whose
treasonable counsels have exerted a wond- r
fnl influence in inciting the people of the
South to rebellion, whose creed for many
years has been *• Disunion for the sake oi
Disunion,” and without whose inflammatory
appeals it is scarcely probable Fort Sumpter
would ever have been attacked, warns ub to
prepare for an invasion, as soon as “ Washing
ton rails, and Maryland is roduemod.” It is true
that most men will c insider the realization ot
these conditions as difficult as that of the
proverb, “ when the sky fails we shall catch
larks,” bnt it is nevertheless something ot an
incentive to our Home Guard to vigilance and
activity, and warns them that an enemy, not
many miles distant, is thirsting for their blood)
and for the capture of onr noble city.
The mode of treating all citizens of North
ern birth who are unwilling to war against
their country, which has been adopted by the
Gbivalry of tha Secession region upon nearly
all the loyal« Yankees” who are unfortunately
in their power, warns ns that it by any terrible
•and apparently impossible calamity Philadel
phia should fall into their possession, little
mercy could be expected, and that such a
wanton deotruction of life and property as the
world has rarily witnessed would occur. Wo
refer to such a deplorable event not to awaken
any unnecessary fears, bnt because it may
prove nselul for ail to reflect upon some
of the aimß of the foe in arms against ns,
and the necessities of a complete triumph
oi onr Government, not only lor its pre
servation, but tor the permanent security
of onr own homes. Bach vigorous blow dealt
against the insurgents adds to the safety of
our own citizens, while each temporary tri
umph they obtain increases their audacity,
and prompts them to the commission of new
outrages. Those who in any way seek to re
tard the su cess of our army, or to dirni
nish its efficiency, or who directly or in
directly endeavor to give aid and comfort
to the foe, therefore virtually assist in the
destruction of onr own city, by set king to
smooth the ruggmf’and apparently impassable
roads by which a'one it could be approached
by those who threaten it.
The lucome-Tax— A Sice Point-
The Income Tax, to come into operation on
the lot of April next, lays an impost of three
per Ci nt. OK inoulues, over $BOO a year, after
the other national and local taxes are deduct'
ed. Several inquiries have reached us on a
very important point, upon which the new
Statute itself is not communicative—namely,
wuether, if a man’s clear income be $B5O, he
is to pay three per cent, upon that whole
amount, or only upon the $5O over and above
the limit ot the $BOO. It on the whole, he
should pay $25.50; if on the surplus $5O, his
tax would be $1 50.
This makes a very great difference. It would
be contrary to ail common justice and com
mon sense that while an income ot $BOO is to
be exempt from ihe Income-Tax, an income
Ol $BOl, instead of paying three cents on the
surplus dollar, should pay $24 08. Yet, as
we read the new law, thtre is no provision to
prevent snch a levy as this. We should be
obliged to any correspondent who will throw
light on this point.
To DAT *e repaoliun, from the London Times,
a singularly mendacious and maiigaant article,
the evident puipose of which is to destroy the
credit of the United S ates in the money
markets of Europe. The writer starts with a
pelitio prineipii—lmpudently begging the
questlou by taking it for granted tbat, in order
to raise the money authorized by ©ougress,
“ proposals will be made tor obtaining a por
tion oi the amount in Europe.” Ihe lact
being tbat the loyalty and wealth of the
American people can supply, without difficulty
or embarrassment, the whole sum required, or
double the amount.
The Times enters into a variety of state
ments about repudiating States, the accuracy
of which may be judged from thu double as
sertion tbat ‘-there is also a spot on Pennsyl
vania which has never been wiped out,” and in
the same breath, tbat “ Pennsylvania has
never, in the general sense, been a repudia
tor, but her financial character suffers from a
wound which derives its worst features from its
smallness ls this seriously written 7 Who
has not heard of the famous line, in a new
play.
w &I? wound is great, btc'ius* it is so
which was capped by a Bbarp critic in the pit
exclaiming,
u Tb*t>j be greater were it none at alV*
which damned the play. The Times uses the
precise words of the untortunate dramatist—
whether seriously or in jest is a question.
The Diet of the Soldiers.
There are many persons who would cheer
fully aid in promoting the health and comfort
of the volunteers engaged in the service ot
the country without desiring any other reward
than the consciousness ot performing a praise
worthy and patriotic act, if they knew how
they could conveniently render really useful
service. Those who possess a superabund
ance of traits and vegetables will see bytiho
suggestion contained in the annexed notice
from Miss Dix, that articles to which they at
tach little value may, by a little attention,
prove very useful. We trust her request will
be republißbed by all our loyal cotemporarios,
and liberally responded to by the public:
“xenon to LinißAi. citiibis
“ All persons having mntoroheraa, orvcgetab’s
ga.d-os, are respectfully rrques ed, sb means and
sonvenianes allow, to sense dried traits and vs
getablee to be prepared and stared for the benefit
of tha troops in au'umn and winter—that a whole
some addition may be made to the army rations,
and health preserved by suitable diet
“D. L. Dix.
“Wabhwotoh, D 0.
“Aug. 1,1881.”
The hew Taripf and Internal Tax Bill,
as finally passed, does not include the pro- J
position for the establishment of an excise
duty which it originally contained, all of the
provisions on that subject having been stricken
out by the Committee ot Conference. This
fact seems clear, notwithstanding the contra
dictory representations ot some of our cotem
poraries, because Mr. Stevens, the chairman
ot the House Committee of Ways and Means,
in his remarks explaining the report of the
Committee of Conference said, “ The excise
duty, which the House provided for, is en
tirely omitted in thiß bill.” From other ex
planations he made on that occasion, it seems
that the new duty on coffee will be four cents
per pound, on cocoa three cents, on raw sugar
two cents, on ohiccory unground one cent, and
chiccory ground two coats, on brandy $1 25
per gallon, on distilled spirits My ceDts, and
on wines fifty per cent., ad valorem. He also
said, in relation to bended merchandise, that
“ all goods already imported, or which are
now on shipboard, will come in under the
duties which existed at the time that state of
facts existed. With these exceptions, tho new
duties are to go into effect worn and after the
date of the passage of the act. We find, in
the New York Tribune, the following tabular
statements of the cbaDges ot daties on imports
which have been made, the first table em

Delaware Water.
[For The Press.]
Port Richmond, Ang. 5,1861,
Tha water furnished in t.is section of the city
daring thiß warm weather is not fit for anybody to
drink. It has caused sickness in oar neighborhood
to a very large extent• in several eases predosißg
death Toe Water-works are situated at the foot
of Gunner’s Ban, Kensington, where all tha fish
hucksters dean their fish, and all their filth tupb
directly in and through the pipes, and all along
Gunner’a Bun there are some five or six slaughter
houses, whose filth ib suokea into our basin The
water, of eoareo, has a had odor. Wo have to
Biter all of it we drink. If the Water works were
moved up the river some three or four miles, we
could have pure water, almost as good as that fur
nished by the Fairmount Water works, and not
have to drink the fish hucksters’ and slaughter
houses’ filth. We wish yon woud give this a place
id your columns, and by so doing you will elicit
the gratitude of many ot your sutsoribers.
Yours truly,

The Army ot the Shenandoah.
Sabot Hook, Hd , Aug 6 —There were several
alarms in oamp last night, all arising from a die
charge of musketry by a freshly-arrived regiment,
the Pennsylvania Twentyninth.
Gen Banks was in the saddle at 3 o’olook this
morning, snouting around the country. He was
align ly indisposed yesterday, bnt is folly reco
vered to-day.
The Seeessionists oaplured by Lieut. Col.
Brown and party, of tha New York Twenty-eighth,
are at General Thomas’ quarters. They will be
defamed aa hostages, and kindly treated.
A private in the Indiana Sixteenth Regiment
was shot by a sentry last night, failing to answer
tha challenge.
General B inks has issued stringent orders in re
lation to promisouons firing in oamp and on the
outposts. The propriety of this measure will be
readily esnoeded when the unneeessary trouble
and alarm oreated is understood.
Important from Missouri.
Gave-nor Gambia of Missouri, has issued a pro
el smation to the people of that State, the principal
features of wbioh are as follows:
I do hereby strictly charge and eDjoin upon all
sheriffs, and other magistrates who are aonserva
tore of the peaoo, to uso all the powora oonforrod
apon them by law in arresting and bringing to
punishment all persons who disturb the public
peace by using violence against any of their fel
low citizens; and especially are yon oharged to
bring to justice all who oombine to praotiso vio
lence against other persons on ae6ount of their
political opinions; and if foroe should be am
ployed to resist you lu the discharge of your duties
to an extent that you oannot overcome by the
means provided by law you are oharged to make
known that lact to this department, that proper
me-sures may be taken in such oases. It is en
joined on all citizens that they perform the duty of
giving information of deposite of munitions of war,
belonging to tbn Stale, that they may Come to the

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON- i
[From onr Special Correspondent. l
WABHiaOroa, August fi 1801
Tho youig Nnpnleonis in tho oity, dining, riding,
Booing sights, reviewing cur troops, and inspooiii.g
tho military operations. Ails presence creates no
exoitement among onr people They are too bn-y
about other matters even to worship Nap jleon, and
the young Ptinoe passes to and tro among the otii
i.na soarooly notioed. I saw him on Saturday
evening in the President’s grounds. He was ac
companied by several members of his snito, and
Mr Secretary Seward. I: was tho nsnal Saturday
evening concert, and the fall Marine Band, as the
reporters wonid say, 11 were discoursing most
delightful music ” A large orowd had ga
thered in the grounds, and hundreds of ladies
and gentlemen were strolling over the sward, pro
menading under the trees, gsiiy gossiping, recog
nising old triendshipp, and seeking new ones.
There eomf weekly gatherings are among the
greatest attractions of. the o&pital, and when the
afternoon is fair there may be seen in the broad
and beautiful grounds attaohed to the White Qonse
the beauty and grace of Washington The Prinoe
was a quiot epeotator of the soene, and at first he
was unobserved. Bnt tho whispeT went through
the crowd that ihe son ef the great Napoleon was
among them, and, in a fow minutes, he was the
oyiiosnie of all eyes He has all Ihe physical oha
rMtsristics of tha Bonapartes, ar.d wonid be in
stant'y leoognized by ihe busts and plot a res of
the first Em;>ercr. He was plainly dressed, wear
ing a narrow purple sash, and two or three
orders covered with dsziHng gems on h<e breast
B. iB short, Stout, and inclined to bs oorpulent,
with heavy black hair, which obscures a badly
formed forehead- His face is extremely Napo
leonic, but it wants the fire, genius, and tho classic
beanty which we are scenstomed to see in ths por
traits of his illustrious mtole He seemed to enjoy
the mneic of the band, and while tho 11 Star Span
gled Banner” was being played he listened with
evident delight, gently keeping time with his foot.
I su told that he eapmssss himself greatly ds
■lghted with his American visit thus far, and that
he cannot but take back to France the mo9t fa
vorable impressions of the Keonbiio He has beep
invit-d, I am told, to pay avisit to Richmond, bnt,
of oonrse. cannot accept, as a visit to that city
wonid indirectly imply a recognition of the rebel
lions Confederacy, and ooald only bo followed by
the mos r serious misunderstanding between Frsnoe
and the United States.
No one occupies a more arduous and embarrass
ine position than Mr. Seoratary Chase, of the Trea
sury Department The custody of ths exchiqn.r
i at all times a diffimlt, undesirable, and oompii
o -ted duty, and as our G vernment increases in
wsalth and population tho difficulty of managing
in finances increases also The immediate neces
sities of onr vast military establishment press
largely upon tbe attention of the Seore’ary He is
directly connected wi'h ere v department of the
Government, for every department of the Govern
ment depends upon ihp Treasury for its means of
existence He pays its diplomats and its sol
diors, it* statesmen and Its sailers, every agent
from the Cabinet minister t- whs moulds a mtgbty
State’s decrees,” down to the mail messenger who
drives hiß cart and mail bag over tbe rugged
country road. It is impossible to imagine the
many interests wbioh press upon the attention of
tbe head of the Treasury Department, and yet with
.emarkabie sagacity and promptitude he performs
he daties of Iris high station in a most aduiirablo
maimer. His late report was ono rf tho most
statesmanlike dooumentc that ever pame from the
Treasury Depar'ment, and it is a high oompiiment
to the practical genial of Mr. Chase, that the
nretent Congress has adopted without amendment
nearly every suggestion contained in his report at
the commencement of the present session
Sr-m* time ago the surf las revenue aooraiag
f-nm the Bala of tho public lands was dii’ributod
among the d ffireni States, The share of Virginia
was, I believe, about half a million of dollars. For
soma reason or o’her, and at the advice of Sena
tors Mason and Hunter, Virginia refused to accent
her share, and it remained in the Treasury De
partment. Last week toe new State of Virginia,
as represented by the WUeelißg Hovernment, made
a demand upon the Treasury for the sum due to
Virginia, and it was promptly paid in gold.
Many oomplimen f 3 are paid to the Hon. Thad
d*us Stevens, of your State, for his tna'terly
leadership of the House as chairman of the Commit
tee of Ways and Means. Without entertaining any
e taaial odmlraMou for Mr, S'evcss, I muit say
that, as chairman of that committee, ho has dis
played many of the best qualities of the states
man, the financier, and the parliamentary loader.
The maturing of mo=tof the plans for tbe prore
eution of the wor has devolved uaop the m-mhor
from Lancaster, and to hio eff lrts may be attributed
muoh of tho energy and promptitude which have
characterized the JegWa'ion of the House.
While the House adjourned at rather an early
hour yesterday, from a want of a quorum, the
Senate was in sosßion until after midnight, princi
pally for the consideration of executive business.
Towards eleven o’clock the doors were opened, and
I strolled iDto the gallery. There was quite a
large attendance of Senators, and the Chamber
looked exceedingly beautiful under the peculiar
system of light adopted. The gas burners wero
obscured by a ceiling of thiok glass, covered with
paintings, and the light fell upon the Chamber
without any of the glare and tbe painful brillianoy
which is inseparable from gna> horning The light
was BO soft that it cast no shadow, and' so clear that
the features of every Senator could be es plainly
di»tingnished at in the broad fanlight.
Bnt little business was transacted, and that
merely of a routine character The Senate was
ve-y quiet and very dull presenting a strange and
somewhat sleepy appearand* Tha anurtly Break
inridge was pacing up the lobby with the placid
and Intel’actus! Smator f rom Maine, Mr Fessen
den. Senator 'Wilkinson was on one of tho sofas,
t dking wilh old J? <n Wade, of 0 --io. who leisurely
fanned himself with a broad palm leaf fan. Pew
ed, of Kentucky, was uneasily walking in the
neighborhood of the piesident’s chair, while the
brave Andrew Johnson sat in bis seat with folded
arms, quiet, attentive, and thoughtful Sherman,
of Ohio, had the floor; and was explaining in
his rapid, plaid, and practical way, some financial
measure which seemed to trouble the c euate
Joe Lane, of Kansas, who occupies the seat of
Jeff. Divis, was reoliuing back in his chair rather
li-tleßSly, and balding on tightly to its arms as if
he feared tbat Ms contestant, Mr Stanton, had
serious notions of ejecting him by force. Bat tha
contestant, Mr Stanton, had evidently no sucb
evil design, for he was quietly realinirg on a sofa
and in pleasant conversation with a Senator from
one of tbe New England States The portly Sena
tor from New York seemed to bo anxions to obtain
the floor, as if for the purpose of protesting against
the weather, while the remainder of the Senator,
were conversing in an undertone, writing letters
attending to some routine matter of bnsiuess, Of
languidly reclining on the sofas wbioh lino tbe
wall.
There was more excitement in .'the bouses of
Congress this morning than has been exhibited
at any of the sessions. The near approach of the
Hour of adjourning, and the bu»y and exciting
scenes wbioh always attend the adjournment at
traoted quite a orowu of ladies and gentlemen to
the galleries. The Senate went into executive
session at an early hour, and thus sent
their spectators into the galle.'ioa of the Houso
of Bepreseatatives. Within a few minuios of
tho hour of adjournment, a most exciting
mono took ptaso in tho Houso. A lull had
occurred in the business, when Mr Wiokliffe,
of Kentucky, arose and stated to the House that
the elections in his Stale bad gone largely for the
Consti'utlon, and that the people of Kentucky had
deolared that their State, among the first in the
Union, should he among the last jn the Union
The announ lement oreated a scene of indescribable

Editor Press : As several mistakes have
happened to our soldiers in being tired upon
by one another because they could not be dis
tinguished from tbe rebels, allow me to Bug
geßt through your paper what I think would
oe a remedy. It is this: Let one sleeve ol
every coal have tbe national colors—ihe red,
White, and blue —wound serpent inttiy around
itlromthe shoulder to tbe bund. It would
be plainly discernible, and would also have a
pleasing effect. There ought certaiuly at, oDce
to be some distinctive mull adopted, and I do
not think a more appropriate one can be cho
sen than the one suggested.

An amusing Incident has ooourred. In making
their rounds this forenoon the Guard met an
officer (lieutenant) of one of onr regiments, and
demanded to see his pass. Ha had none to show,
but in place of it exhibited his badge of autho
rity, and haughtily inquired if that was not
a sufficient pass for an officer of his rank. He was
informed tbat it was not. Then, yen oan have no
other. Well, sir, it is customary to allow effioers
of your rank to pass on receiving an assurance that
they will report themselves at the guard house;
but, as you are disposed to be rather unareommo
dating, you will please to fall in and march round
till wo receive a few more stragglers, when yon will
be conducted to the t-uard house. Two hours after
the lieutenant was seen in the squad, near the
post offioe, marching round, under a hot sun, in
quest of a “few more,” with which to retain to
the guard house.

Obsequies of the Right Reverend
Samuel Bowman,
AT LANCASTER, YESTERDAY.
Yesterday was a day long to be remembered in
L vneaster Bishop B iwman, a faithful pallor for
more than thirty years in iba'oity. and lately tbs
esteemed Assistant Bishop of this dinoese. wh so
sudden deoeato has caused universal sympathy
and surprise throughout ihe State, was interred
in the burial ground attach'd to the ahnroh to
whose penple he had so long ministered.
We have already given the psrtioalars of the
oironmstaaosa attending his death. It appears
that his friends in Lancaster received no intelli
gence of his decease until Saturday evening at six
o’clock, when R>v. Isidor M-unbert, assistant r«o
tor of St J unes’ Cimrjh, was apprised of tbe ovens,
and it became his aid duty to break the sorrowful
tidings to Miss E lie Bowman, the daughter, and
only surviving membor of the family of the la.
mooted Bishop. What rendered the task peeu
liarly solemn and difficult was tbe fast that
upon entering the room, Miss Bowman In
formed Mr M ombert that she had jurt received m
interesting letter from her father, dated the day
previous, stating that his health had considerably
improved. A deputation of members from th*
vasrrieiof Bt James’ and Bt. John's Churob.es lrft
Lancaster on Saturday night, and met tho remains
atLewistown where they first learned the p»ni
oulars of the sad event. The committee from Pitts'
butg consisted of Rev. Dr. Van Dr.usen, rector of
Bt. Peter’s; Rev. Jubal Hodges, restor of Bt
Mark’s; and Felix ft Brunot, Eq, warden
of St. Androsr’s Church, Fitisburg When
ths body of Bishop Bowman was found by th
wayside, by Mr. Franklin Wright, he was lying
upon hie face, evidently in tbe position be had
fallen, as if seised with apof.l*xy; end bis feature*
seemed to Indicate that he had died without s.
struggle or a single sensation of pain. A special
train was at once provided, and the remains were ,
eo&Toyed to Pittsburg, where the; <rere entrusted
to the oare cf Br Van Denson, who had them
properly seesred in fee Three eminent physi
oians were summoned, two of whom inolined to tb*
opinion that his death was caused by apoplexy. I
was not a ease of coup de sohel , as his death oould
not have occurred later than eight o’olook in tbe
morning, when the heat «f the sun was not very
intense. Ws learn, howr/vor, that Dr. Atlre, of
Lancaster, for many years the family physician of
the deceased, inr asses the belief that death en
sued from a giving way of the powers of th* heart
induced by a chronio sofreniog of irs walls, the rx_
ertion of th# hour probably hastening tbe crisis o
the disease This theory appears to explain the
eanse of ths swoons by which the Bishop bed been
*ffl c’sd on seversl noonsions while engaged in his
professional labors.
It has been already announced that Bishop Bow
man was on a visit to the coal and oil regions a
the time of his decease, and expected to officiate a'
B idler on Sunday last, assisted by Be. Van Deosen
of Pittsburg, hut Providence had ordained it other
wise Tbe remairs reached his late residence, at
; Lsneofter, on Sunday sacking, at the vet? hour
his friends In Butler had espsa-ed to be listening
to h’s impressive teachings of Divine truth Du
log the whole cf Sunday, the shock so startling in
its announcement pervaded all oiacsei of the com
munity, and private grief wassilereed in the s.vm
pathy foj her so suddenly deprived of a beloted
and iffic ionate parent.

Oi our visit to the poraouago, adjoining tbe
ohuroh, thesqh the hour was yet, early, we found
a large number of hie late neighbors, friends, and
parishioners present, who had pros* Vo tskn a last
view of those fen'urci so (iesx to them in life, and
s’ill prfoinps ia death. The body lay in ihe fro't
pnrlor, erc'-fised In a cotta covet ed with hUck
e'oth very hardtomoiy mounted wl'h silver. The
Bl'hop was arrayed in full canonicals, and the
plsoid serenity which overspread his fine fea‘urrs
gave it the appearance of one gen'ly sleeping. In
fret, we rum od for s moment, so natural did he
look his face still beaming wi'h the same sweet
sod winning smils which ha so freely extend sd to
those who Baugh t his itanae. and it wt«
almost impossible to realipn that we were standing
by the bier of o -y who bad closed h’S eyes on ear h
for etasairy The lid of the o ffln had Inscribed
on a silver plate the following:

away. “wo all shall miss him ” Wo all shall
miss him
A 8 Sve o’clock drew near, tho hoar appointed
for the performance of tbe last sad rites, the arowd
in front of tbe house visibly increased. A cost of
tb« ccnntsTineea of the deceased prelate ires taken,
thus preserving to bis friends a correct oopy of hit
features as a memorial Among those whom v'a
saw present was James Buchanan, who g-y'd se
riously end earnestly upon the lifeless features
lying before him. The venerehle F» her K-enan
was also present, and appeared 'very much effeerd
at tbe suddenness with which death had robbed
him of a friend of many years. The tolling of a
mnffltd bell gave token te those who tarried that
tho minutes were fleeing rapidly that would shut
ont forever the piesenoa of pastor, relative, aid
friend.
Tho ohuroh appropriately festooned with
orape The reeding desk, pulpit, altar, and forr.i
tyre were draped in deep mourning. Tho large
window of stained glass ip the rear of the build
ing was heavily shrouded with orape, and tbs
obanopl was ooverrd with iho same material,
The body was borne into tho ehuroh on a bier,
about six o’oli ok, the following gentlemen acting
as pall-bearers: Rev Doctors Olay. Taugho, Dorr,
and tbe Rev Messrs Cracraft, Rodney.
The cuffla was covered with a black cloth, upon
which was wovon a Latin oron decorated with
four anohors Tho clergymen present, arrayed in
their gowns, separated and stood on esoh side if
the entrance, permitting the body to bo borne
through to the front of tbe altar; Bishops Lee
and Oderheimer, Dootors Mnhienberg, Duoaohet
Wilmer, Van Deusvn, and tho assistant rector,
Mr. Mouibert. kneeling within tho ehancel, en

Oorpso Sects were reserved for the olergy on

discriminating in favor of the members of tho
parish.
The Rt Rev Bishop Odenbeimer, of New Jer
sey, road the opening p*rt of the burial service in
a very impressive manner. Tho Rev Dr. Dora
ahet read the lesson from the 2# h chanter First
Corinthians, and it was with great difficulty io
succeeded, as his utterance was nearly choked with
emotion Mr. Mnmbsrt, assistant rector of St
J m»s’ Churob, shea gave out the 124th hymn,
commencing with these words :
