RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Oor Churches and the War.
Site war has had an apathetic offset upon reli
gion, at least if we may judge from outward mani
festations. A large proportion of Our ohuxohes, of
all denominations, excepting the .Catholic, hare
been olosed’for some weeks.paat,Caad in many oases
the few that are opetr hare been alimly attended!
Of course, there is a reason for this beyond mere
Isdlffbrenoe. - An unusually large number of our
citizens bare this summer availed themselves of a
trip to the country ; those left at home hare had
their ohuroh-gofiig zeal materially abated by the
how more absorbing topic of many who,
sixteen months ago, were regularly sden in their
places of worship barb' either sinoi fallen in their
country’s servioe or are hew in the field.,
War, too, is toe thems in most of pulpits that
ace occupied; war oonsUtut.es the staple of our re
ligious exchanges ; its recognized claims alone hare
saved the noon-day prayer meeting from a collapse,
and in a good degree the war Is supplying the only
present materials for Christian activity. Church
members have stopped discussing creeds, and are,
irrespective of names,' shaking hands' with each
other on the now religious and paramount doty of
saving, the Union. The Old School Presbyterian is
vieing with the Methodist in' making sacrifices for
the oommon cause; the Quaker, forgetting Jbis ecru
pies of other dajs, is sending forth his sons to up
hold the standard of freedom; Protestants are
greeting Catholics as brethren inspired by a com
mon zeal; Christian associations, formed out of all
denominations, are all doing what they can for the
soldier’s oomfort, and the soldiers in return, with
out regard to formor prejudices, are praising the'
Sisters of Charity,as so.ipwty,aisgels of meroy.
When, therefore, religion, from whatever cause;
takes on this practical and homogeneous
mere absence of jChurjh religion, so to speak,.:
(Churohanity and- Christianity are not always sy
nonyms,) is not neocssarily a symptom of religious
decay. Besides this, even the outward forms of
religion will Soon resume more of their aooustomed
appearance in our midst. The first Sunday, in
September wilt bring with it an influx of oitizens
now absent from the oity, and congregations will;
no doubt, approximate nearer their usual propor
tions.
We cannotihelp remarking in this connection,
the gratifying faot, and one; that should not
be forgotten, that .the Churches throughout the
Horth, in thiscontest, have thrown their great in
fluence, with singular unanimity, on the Bide of the
Government. The moral effect of this oan hardly
be over-estimated. With few exceptions, indiffer
ence on the part of any oitizen has, been construed,
from the pulpit, into covert sympathy with rebel
lion, and rebellion has been fearlessly held up by a'-
iMnand champions of the Cross as the king of
crimes—against God and the State. Nor has this '
ecoiesiastioal loyalty been without its practical}
fruits. Wo doubt if there is a single regiment in
our army to-day that does not owe a portion of its
truest men'to the patriotism of the pu’pit; and it is
not saying too much to add, that four-fifths of the
great benevolent movements that have been set on
.foot sinoe the war began, for the benefit of the
soldiers, originated in the churches. No.good.man
will underrate the value and importance of having
praying meh in.oar army. We. are in a contest to
snstun the Bight, and moral science teat fault if
victory and'triumph do not ultimately crown the
efforts of those wJjo most consistently rely upon the
power of the Arm that moves the world.
Tan Episcopal Church, North and South.—
"The Episoopal journals are diaouasing the question
whether toehold, or to, postpone,' toe triennial Con
vention of toe Protestant Episcopal Church of the
United States. The meeting will fall due in Octo
ber. The Northwestern Church argues for. indefi
nite postponement on the ground— - ; ; V
“That toe Southern bishops and delegates from
the Southern diooeaes could not obtain safe conduct
rig and returning through the military lines, *
* and therefore that they oannot attend.’’
“This," says the writer, “ will destroy the gene
ral nature of the Convention, and suggests toe pru
denoe of postponing the ( attempt to assemble it to
happier times.”
Another suggestion is thus stated:
“ To meet without them, acknowledging thesepa-'
ration, Is, upon ohurch principles, to acknowledge
the independence of the Confederate States.”
It is due to toe'Episcopai press to state that it
has very generally opposed this postponement on
the ground that the Church ought not, just now, to
be showing too great defe'rehoe to the enemies of
the State. The Christian Witness— the Episco
pal paper of Boston—however, while it hopeß toe
Convention will be held as usual, appeals in ad
vance to the delegates—
“ To avoid all subjects of legislation which shall,
in any way, interfere with a full restoration of our
separated members in the unity of the Spirit, and
in the bond of peace, when this rebellion will have
been suppressed.”
A ootemporary makes the following explication
of this suggestion by the Witness
“ That iei to say, when the Convention meets next
October, let the members be oareful to pass no reso
, lution or whisper ho opinion likely to grate upon
such fastidious ears as those of the Reverend Major
General Bishop Leonidas Polk i”

From Sonin Cabolisa.—Under date of Beau
fort, S. 0., July 29, Rev. I. W.' Brinkerhoff says:
“ We have, here in South Carolina, tokens of the
Holy Spirit’s preaenoe. Within the past fourteen
days I have baptized, here and at Hilton Head,
ninety-one colored persons, who give credible evi
dence that they have boon taught of the Spirit.
Others are awaiting the ordinanee of baptism.”
Dr. Palmer.—The Rev. Dr. Dalmer, of New
Orleans, is canvassing Mississippi and Georgia,-
preaching a crusade in behalf of slavery and trea- i
son. A letter from a Seoesh woman says: “ The
people fiook. to hear him by the thousands; they'
listen to him; with the greatest eagerness, under,
the green trees, on the mountain tops, in the log
cabins, and in the highest places. He rouses up
the fearful, cheers the' faint hearted, and- praises
the brave. They say he has done more than a re
giment of soldiers. He is'lndeed a treasure to us,
and oue we may justly be proud of.” ,
We have in this a singular illustration of the text,
“ The devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seek
ing whom he may devour.”

ever dune to our knowledge occurred, a few dare since,
in a “ sideshow” with VaUAmburg A Co.’., Menagerie,
where two enormous snakes—an anaconda and a boa
constrictor— are on exhibition, '‘The keeper, was in the
act of feeding them when the event occurred. The ' boa
constrictor,Hwhiofc is iome thirty feet long; and enlarge
around the middle as a man’s thigh, had just swallowed
two rabbits, when the keeper introduced hie" arm and
body into ths 'oage for the'purpose of reaching a third to
the anaconda, at the opposite corner.’ While lathis po
sition the boa, not satisfied with his share of the rations,
made a spring,probably with tbe intention of semiring the ‘
remaining rabbit, but, instead, fastened his jawsuponthe

BOUND-HOUSE BUBNED BOSS 825,000.—The
round-bouse at the Hannibal, and St. Joseph ilailroad
caught fire between 11 and 12 o'clock Friday night, and
was in abright blaze before it was discovered, rendering
the subduing of the flames impoaslble. There were five
engines in the bouse at the time, viz: thß Seneca, Chip
pewa, Apache, Shelby, and Stranger, none of which were
recovered but the Stranger, which having come in with
the express traiji that night, had steam up and was run
out through'tllS blaze. The entire roof, whioh was tin
plated on wood, fell in, with all the lining of tbe building,
leaving nothing hut the: bare walls st mdlng,-whioh are
considerably damaged.: The lots on the locomotives and
building is 825,M0 at the lowest'ealcnlction.
Mr. HetUeton, of Hannibal, 'thrAnditor, was here last
Ml to estimate the value of the building with a view of
Insuring, but whether he took out a polioy or not is not
known here. Fortunately, the turn-table was saved with
but slight damage,.and no hindrance or inconvenience to
tbe road will therefore accrue irom tho disaster.' Repairs

The fire originated either in the on room or carpenter’s

TM CITY.
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION OF A
BRAVE OFFICER.
RETURN OF COLONEL JOHN K. MORPHY.
,'Yesterday afternoon Colonel John K. Murphy, ofthe
39th Begimeni of Pennsylvania Volunteer'S,terriTed in
this city, after an Imprisonment of nearly three months
in the vile and' loathsome prisons of the Southern hie
rarchy..* When it was announced yesterday morning that
Colonel Murphy would arrive during the day from Balti
more, preparafions wo're made. to give him such a reee*;
tton as could be poimiblygotten up on bo short a . notice.
Colonel Murphy was taken prisoner at Winchester. Ho
has proved himself a brave soldier, and is beloved by ait
the men of bis regiment. A committee ef Councils took
the matter of getting, up' a procession in hand, anl the
several regiments now In the process of formation in onr
city were invited to participate. The lieutenants of the
police, at. their usual .levee, were,also.directed to assem
ble at toe Baltimore Depot, with as many men m they
could conveniently muster. , ... . :: ’ ,
, The train bearing the distinguished Colonel arrived at
the depot. Broad and Prime streets, about X o'clock, and
as he alighted he was greeted with iong, loud, and con
tlAed cheering from his friends, who were. assembled
upon the platform. The Colonel was accompanied by
Lieut.'Cel. Curry, and Captains W. D. Eickards and W.
BicfcaTds, Jr., and Lientenants r James 0. Linton; Geo;
35. Johnson, Jos. McGuigan,and John H. Goldsmith, of
tho 29th Regiment.
The Colonel received the congratulations of hisnums
rons friends in the sitting room of the depot. Tho greet
ings were very warm and cordial, especially between tha
Colonel and some of, the members of the regiment, who
were present. The committee of Councils .were also- in
t .educed and cordially welcomed the gallant Colonel
back to hiß old borne. Chief Buggies bad the charge of
the arrangements for the procession. In consequence of
the military being mostly in oamp, and the notice being .
eboit, they were unable,to participate in the demonstra
tion. Several companies of the Scott Legion, and about.
400 policemen,'were stationed atthedepot. Beck’s Band'
was also in attendance. Barouches and carriages bad
been provided for Col. Murphy, his'comrades; and .the
members of Councils. When the arrangements were
completed, toe line waß formed and moved in the follow
ing order: (
Beck’s Band. ( ■
' Be»tt Ijeglon. " , . ' ' •
* . Police Fbrco. '•
' B&roucho containing Col. Murphy. ■_
Carriages containing the other returned prisoners and
domicil Committee.
Theprocesalon proceeded .along. Washington avenue
to tbs. Union Volunteer Eefroebment Saloon amid great
cheering The whole party entered and sat down to a
bounteous repast that bad been provided.: After doing
jnatioe to the good things spread before them,
Hou Elisha W-Davls, late Speaker* of the House of
Representatives, and now colonel of the 140th Bejiment
.P.V.,at the.conclusion of a bounteous repast, arose and
said: He had a pleasing dutyto discharge in introdu
cing Col. John K. Murphy to those present It was not ; .
necessary where he wasrso-well known to do so, bnt it.
■was right that, the bravo soldier should speak for him
self. . And It.mußt fill his heart with joy and gratitude to
find this large' assemblage ’ef the mothers and wives of
.his brave commaed here to meet , him on his return
Bailing welcomes toroughtears of afieotion and grati
tude. The speaker said he had long entertained feelings
of warm personal regard for the brave soldier .whom they :
had met to honor, and to day lie felt proud of him as a
■ Pennsylvanian. The brief lime allotted did not allow
the committee time to have made tsnoh .preparations as
they would have desired, but when he saw snob an as
semblage composed of; eo'many fair.danghteis aathia/he
felt that It was. indeed an honor. He bid Col. Morphy
i welcome, thrice welcome, to his home and native city.
■: Three chedrs "were now enthusiastically given for CoL :
llurpliy, who, In responding, said he could not be placed .
in a more awkward .position than in attempting to make
a Bpocch TMb reception had far surpassed anything he
could expect. His sole aim had been to serve his
country—how far he had succeeded, lys superior officers
must testify.' In returning to his native city, he was
glad to find that she was not behind-hand either in her
enlistments or her devotion to the flag we. all love and'
Ber To. -He had heard Philadelphia froQuently spoken of
in the army in term* of praise, and he never listened
tothCße flatterlng remarks without feelings akin, to pride.
The Colonel described the pilgrimage of himself and
comrades to captivity, and the miserly rations were a half
pound of sour bread, and* three ounces ef fat pork, to
each man per diem. The pork, he said, could be better
described in ihe language of another, and that was, that
it waß necessary to place a brick upon It to keep It in
position. It was not a very polite description, bnt was
expressive of the facta. The Colonel-said he deeply felt
the compliment paid him*. His furlough was for ten
days, when he hoped his health would be sufficiently re
stored to permit him again to take the field, lu’behalf .nr
that flag for which he would willingly lay down his life
In defending. The Colonel related how it was he came
to be captured. It appears that, being sent to.one par
ticular spot, daring toe battle, the rebels tried to flank
him. Discovering this, he alighted from his horse, and,
calling on a soldier to hold him; made a reconnoißaance.
The rebels had, in the meantime, delivered a pretty se
vere fire in their midst; when he turned to look for his
horse, the fellow In wboee charge he had placed him had
mounted him and skedaddled.
. The procession then moved forward along Third Btraot
to Chestnut, and along Chestnut street to Independence
Hall;where Mayor Henry mad# Clew remarks, welcom
ing Col. Murphy back to his native city, and pud a high
tribute to him as a commander. Col; Murphy replied, in
a neat and appropriate speech. He said hohad otten
heard of Southern chivalry, but he had never seen any
thing ol it. He bad teen enough, however, of Southern
brutality. He was very bitter againßt the traitors who
are in arms agtdnet the Government. While in Indepen
dence Hall, cheers were given for Colonel Murphy, Mayor
Henry, and General Corcoran, and a general enthusiastic
feeling prevailed. The Colonel, upon leaving' the Hall,
remained on the State House steps a few minutes, and
received the hearty congratulations of a number of
blends. He then proceeded to his carriage, amid great
cheering. The parade was dismissed at the Hall, and
001. Morphy was taken to his residence in Dean street
below Locust street. 001. Murphy is well known and
respected by a large host of friends. He was for, many
yearspro prietor of a popular. swimming bath, and has
alto served the city In different capacities. He was spe
cial officer, while ex-Mayor Yaux was Recorder, and
many years since was.a special officer atthe Walnut
street Theatre. One year previous to .the consolidation,
he was elected Marshal of Police, and served with credit
for three years, .when the office was abolished. He also
served in the war of 1812, and was a member ofthe State
Militia. , ' ..
The Colonel looked well yesterday, although he has
lest much of his corpulency. The reception yesterday
was gotten up at a very short notice, and reflects great
credit on the Committee of Councils and Chief Bugglss,
who had the matter in charge.
The Post Office;—Some time since
the; attaches of ibe Philadelphia post officeraised a
bounty subscription of nearly one thousand dollars. It
was at first contemplated to organize a company, and di
vide the fund among those who enlisted, but the time
was found to be too short to complete this - organization.
A meeting was held at the port offioe, on Thursday eve-’
ning, to determine’ in what manner : the subscription
should be finally disposed of. Edwin Bootii. Esq , chief
clerk; occupied the chair. It was moved that a committee
be appointed to report as to the disposal of the fund.
This was agreed to, and the committee, through Mr.
George Levis; chairman, reported the following reso
lutions.:.
Eetolvei, That'the subscription shall be given to all
recruits who' may enter any oi the old Philadelphia regi
ments now in the field; each recruit being entitled to five
dollars. -*
Resolved, That the Citizens’ Bounty Fund Committee
be entrusted with the proper distribution.
The rcscluiious were unanimously adopted.
An address was made by Mr. Booth, whioh was re
ceived with muoh applause. He stated that this meet
ing, like the one over:wbioh President Lincoln , presided
some time since in Washington, was without any pre
cedent. The time was propitious, however, for the em
ployees of the Government, now in the Post Office at
Philadelphia, to show tbeir patriotism. -Although the
amount which they contributed might bo considered
small, yet it was an offering which; like the little stream
of water trickling upon the roots of a’ giant forest tree,
.might help to nourish and strengthen the creation of
ttany yrars.* It was an*eridehce of the earnestness of
those he saw around him, and as such would be appre
ciated. ■ ■
After the cheers which his eloquent remarks had caused,
had subsided, the meeting adjourned. . ,
Bbv. J. WALEitit Jackson, the dis
tinguished patriotic divine of the Methodist Church, we
Observe by an advertisement in this morning’s edition,
will presch to-morrow morning, in the Arch-street M.
E. Chnrch, northeast corner Broad and Arch streets.
This is a new society; but lately formed, and is under the
pastoral charge of the Itev.A. BHtenhouse, a young and
talented preacher, and it is stated by many of his hearers
that he has not his superior in ! the Philadelphia Confer
ence. The society is weekly adding to its number, and
is composed of the moat prominent peopie In the Method
ial connection, and citizeufof the immediate neighborhood
of .the west end of the city. It was the intention of the
society to commence the erection of a chapel, preparatory
to a beautiful church edifice, this faU, In .the neighbor
hood of Broad and Arch streets, but the demands of our
Government upon all men for thoir aid and support has
caused Ugtttetponement for the present; but we under
stand theweading men identified with the enterprise
will, at an opportune day, push the work .successfully
forward. It is* known that the men who are the main
contributors to this enterprise, immediately on the receipt
of intelligence that the Government desired both men
and means to crush out the rebellion; pmmediately stop
ped; in their work, and some have gone into the ranks,
others are now active workers and contributors to our.
country’s’cause. Success must finally crown the efforts
of such a noble band of men.

arsenal. The trial took place in the prewnoe of a com- .
mission, under the direction of Lieutenant baldly, se- -
leeted by’the War Department 7began is very simple
in its conetraction, and is placed on wheels a tride
larger than the common target rifle. It throws a one
nnd a-quarter. ounce ball,'and is intended raiher to -he '•
used; as artillery, and drawn by men instead of horses.
Twelve men are sufficient to attend to moving and firing
it. It is said the ptece can be fired and well sighted at
least one hundred times per minute. It has been fired
twenty rounds in live seconds. At i recent trial the - ,
ball's eye cf a target nine hundred '"yards distant was;
etrock.five times out of twenty. ‘ The gun granges ab Hit
a mile and three-eighths, at an elevation of five degrees.
Captain Ericsson,speaking of this kind of weapon, says
that ten thousand then with guns of this kind would; be
eons! to thirty thousand men with the ordinary • pieces.
Colonel Doubtey,'in charge of Fort Corcoran, says that
having held one of the guns and.experimehting with'it
two weeks, he ascertained that he could defend the fort
with only a force of one hundred men, while It would re
quire four hundred men with the ordinary guns. The
guns are made In New York.

centre, and the words-“ Exchangeable for United States
noted by any assistant treasurer or, designated U. B. de

It seems that Cummins went into, the place on Thursday
evening, and after drinklng'had some words with one of
the girls who tend bar. He was then Bet upon by Smith
and a girl and was severely cut upon the head. The
wound was of Buch a character that the: physician who
'examined -it, thought at first that Cummins bad been
shot, bnt probing ,the wound, wag nuable to find any
ball. The injuries of, Cummins are considered danger
ous. Smith was committed in default of $2,000 bail.
Clara Day ton, one of the girls employed in the establish
ment, was also arrested and held to bail.

I » COVERT OF PROF. O. H. BOLLES. 13»
WAINUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA. -
* BEAD THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
The difference between/net and fiction, of permanently
miring the rick and suffering of their diseases, or adver
tising to. cure; and showing but little or no evidence of
cures, can be well appreciated by the anxious inquirers
after health, upon attentively reading the following sy
nopsis of certificates from tome of the most reliable gen
tlemen in Philadelphia, who were permanently cared by
Prof.. BOLLES, 1220 WALNUT street, and after they
had been given up as incurable by the moßt eminent me
dical men of this city:,.i
9 be following la a statement of facts in reference to my
condition and astonishing cure of Epilepsy:
For, five: years previous to . my knowledge of Prof. 0.
H. Bolles’i discovgry of the therapeutic administration
of Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modifications ot
Electricity tor. the cure of all acuta and chronic disease*,
I had been severely afflicced-with Epileptic-Fits of the
most obstinate character, and had! abandoned all hopes
of ever being cured, aa I had for years tried the treat
ment and received the counsel of the most eminent Medi
cal Men of the State, with a view of obtaining relief K
any could be found among the Old Schools; but all my
efforts were unavailing,. and, therefore, all hopes were
abandoned, as I then knew of no greater skill for the cure
of obstinate cases than, to .the Old Schools. About six
months agomy mind was turned lo investigate ths new
discovery of Prof. C. H: BoHea, 1220 Walnut street,
and, after noticing; severer sertificateg of cures which
were published, and some'from persons with whom I was
acquainted and know thorn to be reliable men, I was in
duced to cell on the.Profeßsor and obtain his opinion of
my case. After he had examined ,me about ten minutes,
he frankly infbrmed'me-that hei could cure me, and
offered to give me a written warrantee ;of a complew
cure, Bod, In case of a failure, to charge me nothing.
This at first seemed an Impossibility ; but the frankness
and earnestness of the Professor convinced me of his
; ecientifio accuracy in the diagnosis of inf ease. He dis
. closed all my anffertogs and symptoms for. five years past
as well aa I knew them myself. I will here stats, for flu
good of humanity, and especially those suffering as I w»
that I am perfectly,cured. I further would etate that
. mere than four months have elapsed since my cure, and
I have had no symptoms, and, therefore, feel confident
that I am cured. _ I shall take pleasure in being referred
ot at any time by any. one suffering as I was, and any In
formstlon'of my condition previous to my cure will fee
freely; given to any one at 1612 North Thirteenth street,
