PIMSIMfcSALS. Cl \t MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1861. The English Bishops. The English hierarchy is so different from the American that some of out' readers may thank us for telling them some particulars about it. At present we shall give an account of the Archbishops and Bishops of what is called “ The Established Church” in England, or, in legal and formal parlance, “ The Church of England as by Law established.” Tliis establishment, “ by law,” did not take place until 1534, when King Henry VIII., re pudiating the supremacy of the Papal See, constituted liimself “ Supreme Head of the Church.” in England and Ireland. His suc cessors have continued to possess and exercise this head-ship, and still retain the compliment ary title of ■“ Fidei Defensor” (Defender of the Faith.) bestowed by Pope Leo X., person ally on Henry for having written an attack oil Martin Luther, called “ The Seven Sacra ments,” written in Latin, and published in London in 1521, and in Antwerp in 1522. Ten years after this book appeared, Henry laid overthrown papal authority in lus dominions. Christianity was introduced into Britain during the occupancy of the Homans, and the older chroniclers declare that Ilritaiu produced the first Christian Emperor (Constantine the Great,) the first Christian King (Lucius.) and the first Christian monastery, that of Bangor in Wales. From an early period, there was « contest whether the Pope or the King s^ jU 'd nominate to the high offices in the «shurch. Henry 11. resisted, and Thomas * l ’ Beckett, Archbishop of .Canterbury cL' a ‘-'d tkL right. King John consented to lie' 1 bis kingdom as a fief under the Pope. J lit il ' vas sottlo(i b - v tlle statutcof pramuni-*’ I™ B ** l hl 1,10 rei * n of Richard 11., an*’® I*ll 1 * 11 unrepealed, that while, in faith am’ discipline, iiie English Church gave obC“’ lonce to R° me , the royal supremacy w;[S (irxnittcd in the choice of bishops, and the (.vfoyment of temporalities. Henry VIII. did not so much differ with Rome on doctrine, but on the right of appeal to the Pope from English courts, and the statute 25ili Henry VIII., cliap. 20, establishes tlio jurisdiction of the Crown and of the King's tri bunals, in entire independence of any foreign potentate. Under Henry was commenced “the Reformation” which his daughter Elizabeth completed. Up to 1828, no one could enter Par liament or take office in municipal corporations, without receiving the holy sneramem, accord ing to the rites and doctrine of the Church of England, as a test. From the reign of W illiam 111., until near the close (1829) of that of George IV., Roman Catholics were excluded from the judicial bench and from Parliament. Until 1857, the .Tews labored under the same disabilities. England continues a Protestant country, because of the prevailing faitli of her inhabitants, but her ruling political institutions are no longer exclusively linked with the “ by law established” Church. England and Wales, together constituting an arqa about one fourth larger than that of Penn sylvania, are divided, for Church purposes, into the-provinces of Canterbury and York. An Archbishop, assisted by the suffragans, or bishops of twenty sees or dioceses governs the Province of Canterbury; another Arch bishop, with six suffragans, governs the Pro vince of York. Each Archbishop, in addition to his province and the appellate jurisdiction con nected therewith, lias a pari icular district within which lie exercises original authority. The title of Bishop is derived from the Greek word Epis- Icopos, through the Saxon Biscop —both signify ing an overseer, or superintendent. The district over which a suffragan bishop presides is called liis diocese or see —respectively from the Greek diokesis, signifying administration, or dwelling apart, and the Scottish sege, from the Latin sedes, a seal. The principal church of liis diocese is called a cathedral (from a Greek word katliedra,) because ir contains his seal or throne. His diocesan residence is called The Palace, though it is only a country house, usually with a very small quantity of land, near his cathedral. The Bishop of Manchester, for ex ample, lives in a small mansion, situated in the centre of six or seven acres of shrubbery and garden, and this “palace” is so mean that a fifth-rale cotton-spinner would refuse to inha bit it. There may he found persons to fancy that because a Bishop lias a Palace'—Queen Victoria herself having the use of several real palaces, slightly larger—he must therefore live in royal and luxurious state*! Formerly—that is, before the Reformation— English were elected, like American bishops, l>y the clergy and the laity. Henry VIII. took away this elective and substituted a. nominating process. We can best illustrate Ibis bv an ex ample. Three weeks ago, the Bishop of Dur- . ham died. He had been the Honorable H. Montagu Villier.% brother of the Earl of Claren- j don. Official notice of his dentil having been ; given by the Dean and Chapter to the Home Se- j cretnry, the Premier, (who probably had picked i out the now bishop within twenty-four hours j of the vacancy,) communicated to the Queen ; tiie name of the clergyman he has selected to j succeed. She, who has not the power of j appointing one of iter own footmen, then j signed a warrant directing' tiie Home Office to prepare a mandate, commonly known as a eotige d'clire, or permission to elect a Bishop of Durham. The Dean and Chapter of the dio- j cese will receive, together with this courteous I permission to choose their head, .to'-which tlio ! Royal .signature and Privy Seal are attached, a letter naming the clergyman who lias already been selected by all-powerful Palmerston. Yes, but this is nomination by the Crown, and not election by the Clergy ? Yes, indeed. The 4th section of tiie Statute 25 Henry VIII., chap. 20, gives the Sovereign the right thus to nominate to vacant Arch bishoprics and Bishoprics. The form of elec tion is gone through, but Palmerston’s man must be elected. If the Dean and Chapter re fuse to submit to this dictation, or if they in nocently treat the conge d’elire as a reality, instead of the transparent humbug it is, and elect another clergyman, they straightway come under the pains and penalties of the fa mous statute of ‘pratmunirc, which provides, upon any delay or refusal in electing the Mi nisterial nominee, a forfeiture of all tiie real and personal property of the recusant parties, with perpetual imprisonment at the royal plea sure, and other penalties. Therefore, after the farce of election has been gone through, and due intimation of the'result communicated to the Home Secretary, that functionary prepares the Warrant for the letters patent under the Great Seal, by which the royal assent to the election is signified. The London Gazette will announce that the Rev. Doctor So-and-So lias been duly elected, and that the Queen is “ most graciously pleased to confirm and approve the election.” Then thc'Bishop elect will be con secrated, enthroned, and installed in his Cathe dral. But, the first thing he must do, after his election is approved of, is to have a private audience of the Queen, at which he will per form what is called “ an act of fealty and homage”—which, we believe, is to kneel be fore her, offer to kiss the hem of her garment, and be let off with a labial salute upon the fair hand of Majesty. The form of sending a Conge d’elire to the Dean and Chapter of a vacant see applies only to the sees of old foundation. The Bishoprics of Gloucester and Bristol, Chester, Peterbo rough, and Oxford, created by Henry VIII., have always been conferred by letters-patent front the Crown, and the recently-created Bishoprics of Ripon and Manchester were conferred in the same way. It may he noticed that we speak of a Bishop as “liis Lordship.” The Archbishops and Bishops have seats in Parliament, as Lords Spiritual,—all except the last elected of all. : When the see of Manchester was constituted, in 1846, it was determined hot to increase the number of Bishops in the House of Lords, but allow the last appointed to remain out, except in vacancies of the Sees of Canterbury, York, London, Durham, or Winchester. Formerly, each Bishop, had territory, and sat, by virtue of possessing it, among the Peers as Baron. In this capacity, we believe, the Bishops pay « fealty and homage” to the Sovereign* Their right; |t« be summoned into PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1861. the House of Lords, as temporal peers, has long been in abeyance, blit they retain their parliamentary seats, with precedence over the lay peers, as Lords spiritual. There arc two archbishops and ten bishops belonging to “The Church of England'in Ireland, as by law established,” hut these arc Lords of Par liament alternately, four in each session. The Archbishop of Canterbury takes prece dence as first Peer of England, next the Blood Royal. The Lord Chancellor comes next, and then the Archbishops of York, Armagh, and Dublin. The precedence of Bishops is next he low Viscounts —by the statute of Henry VIII. The Dean and an indefinite number of Canons or Prebendaries constitute the Chapter, which assists the Bishop iu the general go vernance of his diocese. On some cathe dral foundations also are minor canons, and always precentors, lay vicars, and choristers. The country parts of each diocese are divided into archdeaconries and rural deans; and, finally, there arc the beneficcd clergy, consist ing of-rectors, vicars, and perpetual curates-. There also are curates, who are assistants to the- beneficcd clergy, paid by them, and acting under a license from the Bishop, revo cable at pleasure. Thu Rector, as his title shows, lias the chief rule oi the parish ill ecclesiastical, and, as regards temporals, be sides a house and gb-oeland, entitled to ail the tithes therein »ow commuted into a fixed an nual Slim, C»«vd « rent charge. The Vicar (a substitute) receives only the small tithes, as deleg sl * o °f a tithe-impropriator, hat sonic vicarages are lucrative. A perpetual curate is sometimes called the incumbent, and though he lias sole authority in his own church, in the eye of the law is only assistant to the rector or vicar of the parish in which it is situated. The English bishop's power of conferring Holy Orders—deacon, .priest, and bishop—is precisely the same as that exercised by bishops in America. The income of Hie Church of England is derived from lands, tithes, church-rates, pew rents, Easter offerings, and surplice fees for burials; baptisms, &c. It is estimated, iu 1831, to have amounted to £1,292,885, and if was estimated, by llic census of 185], at £5,000,000 a year. In 1801 it probably is near £5,500,000, and this is to pay for spiritual instruction in 11,728 Benefices and about 16,000 churches in England and Wales. There are 20,000,000 of inhabitants in England anil Wales, of whom, on a moderate estimate, one lialf belong to the Established Church. The entire sum annually paid to Archbishops and Bishops in England and Wales is fixed by act of Parliament at £158,200, equal to $700,000. We venture to say that the average animal payment for spiritual instruction, by all reli gious persuasions ill Philadelphia alone, in cluding building and repairs of places of wor ship, considerably exceeds the amount paid lo the whole English hierarchy. Besides, it comes directly out of the pockets of the individuals, whereas most of the cluirch property of Eng land consists of endowments, made ages ago, which are as much the property of the Church, as a clerical corporation, as the lands and houses held by tlic c ity of London or the'city of Philadelphia are of the municipal corpora tion or the citizens, called landed property in England. It is all very well for people who do not know better to rate at “ the enormous wealth of the Church of England,” but the well-informed know that its property has been inherited like any individual’s landed estate. One part of the Church of England income is decidedly objectionable. It is unfair that the Catholic, the Jew, and the Dissenter shall he compelled to pay a direct tax, called Church rate, to keep tlie Episcopal places of worship in repair, though.these persons may never set foot within such edifices. This principle of such ail impost has been so much condemned by a liberal majority of tlie House of Com mons, though still upheld in the House of Lords, that .its removal, from all but members of the Ex>iscopal Church," is considered only a question of lime. In 1831, tiie Parochial Clergy of England and Wales received .£3,251,150) tne Deans and Chapters £lBl,OBl, and the Archbishops and Bishops £181,031. By tlio statute G and 7 William IV., chap. 77, this latter sum was reduced to £153,200 per annum; which it now is. Before that act; some of'the ecclesi astical incomes wove unequal—some of them enormous. The Bishop of Exeter, for in stance, had $2,G00 a year. The Archbishop bf Canterbury, for instance, had about £lOO,OOO a year. The Bishopric of Durham.was'es timated at £40,000, and, after 1827; when the northwest end of London came to be largely built upon, tiie fee-simple resting with the Bishop of London for the time being, the late Bishop Blomfield, received £70,000 a year for many years. He would grant building leases for 90 years, at a nominal rent—say of five dollars a lot—but would exact a large sum in cash, paid before the lease was signed, as a commutation ol the real rent. This was called a-fine. The business men or stewards of all tiie Bishops'did the same—where they could. When a lease of a farm or of a house, tiie property of the see, fell in, instead of letting it at a fair l’ent it was leased to whoever would pay down tiie largest sum, as fine. The effect was to give some Bishops'enormously wealthy years —at tire expense of their successors, during tiie three'next generations. And tints were accumulated tiie immense fortunes which many, of the English bishops bequeathed to their families. But the enactment of 1837 provided that, on the next vacancies, the Bishops’ annual in come should be cut down—Canterbury to £15,000 ; York and London to £lO,OOO each ; Durham, £8,000; Winchester, £7,000 j Ely, £5,500; and each of the rest to have not more 'than £5,000 and not less tiian £4,000 —except that Sodor and Man, which see docs not give a seat in the House of Lords, remain at £2,000 a year. In 1851, it was provided that all tlio revenue of each see, when it exceeded tiie al otted income, "should be paid over to Ecclesi astical Commissioners, who, out of that fund, shall make up any deficiency, where the reve nue of the see shall be less that the income legally fixed for the Bishop. The accumula tion in the Commissioners’ hands is now very lsrge, and it is all applied to repair of cathedrals and churches, to erection of new churches, and to keeping in tcnantable condition the dwelling-houses or “ Palaces” of the Bishops —such abodes really being given to them in lieu of what otherwise would be payable to them, over their salaries, for rent. We have known people object to the Bishops having dwelling-houses given to them—but these do not object to the White House being appro priated to the President as a residence, nor to its being kept in repair, and refurnished, every four years, at the public expense. Each Bishop finds his own furniture, and pays and keeps his own servants. The Bishops’ power as to re newing leases is now exercised by the Com missioners, who do not patronize the system of fines. We shall now' give an accurate list, accord ing to their legal order of precedence, of the English hierarchy, with the date of the institu tion of each see; also, their incomes. In some few cases a Bishop may hold a benefice in another diocese in commeiidam with his see, but these instances are dying out, and, except he possess private fortune, a Bishop’s income can be no more than the following amount: Founded. Diocese. An. Income. A. D. 598. .Canterbury £15,000 180.. York... 10,000 844. .London 10,000 634.. ■ • • 8,000 , 685.. Winchester 7,000 519.. 5.. David’s 4,500 1109. .Eby. 5,500 1094.. 4,500 845..

For this purpose they must keep more servants than they require in the country; they must lease dwelling-houses in London, where rent is dear; and are com pelled, generally, by this London residence, to spend as much in half a year as would support them liberally at home for double the time, and, also, enable them to exercise the hospi tality which St. Paul so much commends. Another evil, besides this cramping their means and forcing them, as it were, into metropolitan life, is their being half the year wholly non resident iu their dioceses. There is one way, and only one, of reducing tlie English hierarchy into simply useful, hard working clergy of the higher class—and that is, to relieve them from the performance of Par liamentary duties. They really are almost in efficient in tlie House of Lords. Including their Irish lawn-sleeved brethren, only 32 of them liavc seats there, and what can 32 cleri cal gentlemex. do among a crowd of about 430 others—ail of them laymen ? Except for tlie patronage, which enables him. to provide, in the Church, for his male rela tions and friends, an English rector with £2,000 a year, and a nice house, garden, and pad dock, is really better off, in a monetary point of view,- Ilian a Bishop with on income of £5,0C0 a year, and a country-house bearing the (to sonic) objectionable name of Palace. Of course, the snug rector thinks differently, and would jump, like a fish to the fly, at the offer of a Bishopric. In England, where the Queen’s allowance is £885,000 a year—where several of the nobility have yet larger incomes—where each Judge lias £5,C00 a year, at least —£4,000 to £5,000 is not an extravagant allowance for a Bishop who has to live six months in London, attend ing Parliament. On the question of Church patronage, which is curious and involved, we may have some thing to say, at a future time. Nor have we wholly disposed of the Bishops themselves, as ‘ many curious and interesting details might be givc-n respecting the sees and their occupants, past and present. Publications Received. From IT. E. Ziebcr we have the London Art Journal for August, a brilliant number. In the letter-press there is a great deal of information about art and artists all over the world, and many of these articles are illustrated with superior wood engravings. In short, this work is a history and critical rseord of ihe Fine Arts. The engravings in steel are'“The Cottage Home,” a very simple subject (a girl peeling turnips in a cottage, with scarcely any accessories.) painted by J. Y. Gibson^an almost unknown provincial English ar tist. accidentally seen by Prince Albert at an exhi bition and purchased by him. There are also here, “The Arch of Titus,” by Turner—a grand picture, terribly defective iu details —and a drawing of the fine marble statue of “ Erin.’ ? belonging to the Marquis of Devonshire, and almost one of the first works executed by TV. J. O’Doherty, a Dublin sculptor, now only twenty-six years old. This sta tue was exhibited in London last year, and wns much admired- It represents the “genius" of Ireland sorrowful and disconsolate, but lovely in her grief, lingering by the seashore, and pondering over the unfathomable future destiny of her child ren.

South Third street, we have received th ts Illustrated London Neivsoi the 10th inst., and the Illustrated News of the World, of the same date, with a full length portrait of Queen Victoria, from a photo graph, engraved on steel by D. J. Pound. This is the best portrait of Victoria yet published, and. in n preceding notice, we have given our reason? for thinking so. Portrait of Queen Victoria The portraits of Queen Victoria, since she was seven years old, have been so numerous that it is scarcely an exaggeration to say that they may bo counted not by scores, but by hundreds. AVe re collect .Threat many of them, from that of a little girl in short dress and pantalets to the Sovereign enthroned and crowned. Therehavebeen portraits of Victoria in all postures—sitting, standing, riding, leaning forward or back, on foot and on horseback, in full costume and in the plainest of travelling dresses, “every inch a Queen,” with crown and sceptre, and also with the Balmoral petticoat palpa bly exhibited. One of the most striking resem blances of Victoria, taken when she had the charm of youth, is now in our Academy of Fine-Arts, and was painted by our eminent fellow-citizen Thomas Sully expressly for the St. George’s Society of Philadelphia. It has only one fault, almost par donable “when a lady’s in the case”—it makes her much better looking than Nature did. This is what all painters have done, more or less, with Queen Victoria. Her profilo, spite of a too promi nent mouth, has always been good. Her features are regular, but her complexion is indifferent —it has nothing of what is called “ the pure English red and white.” Artists have generally made an other mistake in drawing Victoria, by making her appear much taller than she is. Her actual height is under 5 feet 2 inches. Latterly, too, forgetting that her Majesty is in her 43d year and the mother of nine children, they paint her much too young. At last, however, we have a reliable and pleasing portrait of the Queen, so much respected as a wo man in countries where her station is not oared for and her authority not acknowledged.. This por trait, executed by no meaner artist than the Sun him self, forms the gratuitous supplement to a London pictorial paper ( Illustrated Ncu-s of the World), and represents her exactly as she is—it being a standing figure, with a three-quarter face. She stood for it only the other day. and it represents her in the deep mourning which she wears for her late mother. There are no ornaments in the hair; the enrrings arc very small; the plain narrow collar is fastened by a simple stud, and other ornaments she has none, except two rings and very plain gold bracelets. The face has a grave and thoughtful rather than a sad expression, and the eyes and brow are admirably represented. Whoever wishes for a true portrait of Queen Victoria ought to be satisfied with this. It is on sale, of course, at a ridiculously low price by Callender, Zieber, Up born, Winch, Trenwith, and other newspaper and periodical agents. It is a true portrait of a good and distinguished woman. [Correspondence of The Tress.] Nkw Castle Co., Del., August 23d, 1861. After observing tbe run of things in this county, and also in Kent for some time past, I cannot with stand a sense of duty which I owe to the welfare of my native State, in giving them a more extensive publicity. It is the one great objeot of those who are true to the Union in this State to preserve her loyalty and to maintainher honor and integrity in the face ef the world; yet there are others, who with ruth less hands seek to destroy the glory of her career, and annihilate the allegiance existing between her and the Federal Government. These men are not slow to diffuse their sentiments, and in their hearte exist the most deadly animosity and rankling poison. There are various instrumentalities through which disloyal sentiments reach the ears of those who otherwise are true to the Union. Masses of the people are led to believe that the Federal army comprises none but the Republican party, and that its object alone is to aggressively subjugate the people in the Southern States. One New York newspaper of treasonable noto riety contributes well its part to give strength and courage to all who entertain the least hopes of tho success of the Jeff. Davis conspiracy; and as long as such journals aro tolerated in such loyal States as New York, it is no wonder that Secession sentiments exist in this State. Ask a man why he reads such a papor as the New York Day Book, the answer is, ‘ * This paper is published in a Northern State, and one that you are proud to call loyal to the Union.” Our opinion is, judging from the amount of harm this journal is doing in this State, that it should share the fate of the Jeffersonian and the Sentinel. • , „ , It is a matter of wonder why the New York authorities permit an instrumentality such as traitors delight to make use of to create dissentions and dis loyal sentiments and opinions to exist unmolested in their very midst. We hope the time is fast ap 'proaffliing when this great nuisance, the New York Day Book, will lie in the streets. Blue Hex’s Chicken.

FRANCE Tuk financial prospects of France for the autumn and winter seem less favorable than those of this country, the results of the grain harvest and of the silk crop being both, ns far as can at present he judged, rather unsatisfactory. So.me surprise wns manifested that the Empress should leave Paris within twenty-four hours after tlie arrival of the King of Sweden at St. Cloud. But it appears that the Queen of Sweden, who is at the springs on the Rhine, and consequently in sight of the French frontier, refused to accompany nor husband to St. Cloud, and the Empress, taking this as axersonal offence, did not deem it proper to help her husband do the honors to the King during his stay.

Nay. many of us have supposed that this might be a part of the Programme of the Commandcr-in-Clibef of the Fe deral army—but we have neither advised it, as Union men, nor been consulted as to its propriety. On the contrary, it is known to us that some of the Union men of litis city have proposed to go as Com missioners to Washington to solicit the Government at Washington not to throw any force into this di vision of our State, and, upon obtaining such a pledge, they intended to return and demand of the Confederate forces the removal from our inldat of a large body of armed men, stationed at different points, te resist the approach of Federal troop 3. This effort would have been made und made in good faith, but for two considerations. First, the proposed Commissioners would have to apply to the Knoxville- leaders of -secession for a pass; and next, having obtained it. and started, they would have been published as fleeing the State, and have bad attributed to them motives that never entered info their minds. In this view' of the case, the mis sion was not undertaken, and the matter stands just where all see it stands. Apropos, wc should remark that the Memphis Avalanche (a Secession sheet), in its issue of last Tuesday, says that General Carroll, of that city, returned from East Tennessee on the previous day, and adds : ;; General Carroll, as we understand it, had a •conversation with Parson Brownlow, in which the fact of the suppression of his psiper was broached. President Davis, it seems, has declared that he de sires no connection with any Government in which the freedom of the press is denied, and the Whig will soon be issued ngnin. But Mr. Brownlow hns altered his views of political affairs, and will here after advocate the cuuse of the South against her oppression.’ 1 With the Louisville Journal; i: we don’t believe this is true.” Flour for the Army. —The Memphis Appeal of the 18th has the following : We desire to call the attention of planters to the importance of an early subscription of flour and corn meal for the use of our army. The Confederate Government purchased in May last on immense quantity of flour and stored it at this place, but the supply is now entirely ex hausted. Unless the planters of West Tennessee. North Alabama, and Mississippi, come forward and subscribe flour and meal, taking Confederate bonds in payment, our bravo boys in the field will soon be without bread. Lot each planter indicate to the commissary department at this place, by mail or through his commission merchant, what quantity he is willing to sell to the Government for their bonds, and let them send it forward immediately. There are five mills in operation here capable of grinding bushels doily, to which the planters can send their wheat and have it ground and barrelled, ready for transportation. Fugitive East Tennesseans. —Wc learn from a distinguished citizen of Danville that, on Monday last, two hundred and forty fugitives from East Tennessee, men driven from their homes, were fed in the Senimnry 3'ard in that town. Some of them were elderly men and some young, and all had b&en compelled to abandon their families, and were ill-clad, almost barefoot, weary, and hungry. Their situation was indeed deplorable. Several hundred mere were expected to arrive yesterday. The whole of the two hundred and forty fugitives enlisted in the United States service at Camp Dick Robinson. — Louisville Journal of Thursday. McDowell’s Plans. —McDowell makes no dis play in his report, but it is a plain detail of his movements, and it shows that he arranged and fought the battle as well as any of Lincoln’s gene rals, with their troops, could have done, not ex cepting General Scott. Hen lanctged it admira bly in every respect, and was very nearly sue cess ful- * * The columns of Hunter and* Hcintzelman passed up the Run, crossed at Sudlcy’s Ford, and attempted to turn our left, which was the groat feature of the plan. Hunter did cross, did attack as ordered, and did force our men down the Run, where they hud to receive the cross-fire of Tyler's column'; and nothing hnt the protection of Heaven, thegenivsof Beauregard. (who detected Hunter’s movement by the clouds of dust.) and the unequalled heroic courage and great endurance of our men. prevented our left %eing turned, and perhaps the seizure by Hunter of the Manassas Railroad at Gainesville. — Augusta (Crtf.) Setitinel. Crops in Texas. —The Ranger says: We re gret to hear of the sad havoc the boll worm i 3 making on the cotton crop. We hear of similar complaints from planters in the neighborhood of Chappel Hill. The cotton farms around Brenham arc also showing that the boll worm has commenced the work of destruction. li We believe the standard price for the new corn crop is 26 cents per bushel, Many farmers expected to crib enough corn.to do them for three years, but as the weevil has already appeared in the new ear, we fear their expectations will not be realized, and they will be forced to dispose of all they can, ns soon as the new crop is gathered, unless some reme dy- is prescribed that will get rid of the weevil.” Sugar Crop in Louisiana. —The Attaknpns Register states that there arc fields of cane on the Atcbafalaya, below Berwick, which measure now upward of seven feet, perfectly formed joints. On a large number of plantations the cane is much in advance of that of 1863, which was, by far, tho most prolific in sugar ever known in tho history of the State. Nothing but an early frost can prevent the growing crop from being the largest ever har vested. Only Imitating iiis Leaders. —From the Tal lahassee News we learn that the postmaster at Pensacola has been acting tbe scoundrel on a large scale. He has been robbing the mails of the money sent by the soldiers to their families, on being paid off for their service. Some $9,000 have been stolen, it is said, in this way-. The postmaster has been arrested, and will probably be shot for tho offence committed. Large quantities of letters have been burnt, and a bushel found that had been opened and robbed of their contents. Richmond Price Current.— Exchange on Now York, 8 per cent.; premium on specie, 10 per cent.; bacon, 20 cents per lb.; butter, 25 cents per lb.; com, 60 cts. per bushel; coffee, 2S cts. per lb.; flour, $0 per bbl.; salt, §0 per sack j New Orleans sugar 9 cts. per lb. The Poor of Memphis The Memphis Ava lanche says that the poor of that city aro daily on the increase. The sum donated to the wives and children of volunteers by the county court is no longer paid; tho amount, having been so much larger than was anticipated, emptied the treasury. The result is that those soldiers who relied upon re ceiving the amount appropriated, now sec their wives and children in an actual suffering condition. The Montgomery Confederation of the 15th inst. announces its temporary suspension, owing to the tightness of the times, the scarcity and high prices of material, and the difficulty of collecting its dues. Among the brigadier generals attached to the re bel army of the Potomac are the following: Whi ting S. Jones, D. R. Jones, Ewell, Bonham, Longstreet, Toombs, Evans, Jackson, Elsey, and Early. The Charleston Mercury cannot endure the pre sence in that city of British, French, or other con suls to the United States. The Mercury’s ire against them is because the foreigu Governments will only receive the Southern Commissioners as distinguished citizens. The New Orleans Delta says that Enfield rifles, not inferior to the original pattern of the English article, are now being manufactured in that city. Position of the Confederates.—A corre spondent of the New Orleans Picayune , writing from Manassas on the 10th instant, says.: There is . not a single aot of the Confederate States that could he so construed as to justify any reasonable man in coming to the conclusion that the South intended to take Washington. We have never claimed mqre than is embraced in the boundaries of tho seceded ; States. That is the whole extent of ourolaim,. Washington is situated in that part, of. the District of Columbia transferred by Maryland, and just as. long as Maryland remains with..the North, just 80 . long will we refrain from any attack. Why the Southern Army, dp, not Move.Foiv, ward. —The Augusta. (Ga.) Chronicle anil Suuti'. net of the 18th has the following ; It is well known now that General, Beauregard’s. forces at Manassas, previous to Johnston’s arrival, were comparatively small, and. even after John ston came the combined army could not have ex ceeded forty thousand effective men. Since tho battle, wc have good reason to believe that Boaure-. gard and Johnston have under their command muoh more than a hundred, thousand men, enough for all practical purposes. It is not the wept of men that has prevented an advance, but the lack, of means, of transportation, and the lack. of. food, coaled with sickness. Beauregard has been,almost wholly without means of transportation for his vast army, and proper food in sufficient quantity, as we h»v.e. reason to believe. And men who,fought the great fight of the 21st, and came out of,it without so much as a scratch, were in no condition to do null-, tary duty fop many days.. W.itty.little foo&of suite, ble quality, fatigued, warn down, they were in no condition to advance. In fact, very many, of thpm, have been sick since the light, and. it is but truth to say that they, as well as the wounded, have, not; had proper attention from the medic** department, which, so far as w» canlearn, w.ae organised In the very worst manner, if, indeed, !* can be said to have’had any organization at all. A letter from St. Thomas, W.
