TREieI.DIERS' VOTE
When it ens firatistirinariced, last spring,
that the Adruieiiitration 'at_ Washington
intended sending home Abolition soldiers
sufficient to control the New England
elections, it was indignantly, vehemently
and impudently denied by all the leaders
engaged in it. The result of the elections
in Connecticut and New Hampshire, how•
'ever, demonstrated the truth of the accu
sation. More than this, a young and gal
lant officer in'a New Hampshire regiment,
Lieut. ETHERIDGE, was dismissed the ser
vice, by direct order from the War Depart.
ment, for having simply and quietly voted
the Democratic ticket. See now how
miters have changed since the New Eng
land elections, alluded to. What was then
denied by the Abolition leaders as a slan
der, is now regarded with peculiar favor;
to deplete the Army of the Potomac by
sending thousands of its members home
for fifteen or twenty days to elect the Ad
ministration candidates, is not only look
ed upon as being commendable, but it has
grown obligatory, in order that officers in
the service may stand fair with the Ad
ministration. The path to military pre
ferment, is the profession of Abolitionism,
and the moat of the officers in the service
seem to understand it. The decapitation
tif young ETRERIDGE served as an admoni
tion, that. the right of suffrage among pa
roled soldi-rs was confined exclusively to
those who the Abolition ticket
When G iv. CreTIN, but a month ago, an
noui.caci on the Allegheny Common that
ho intended bringing home al many sol
-diets from the service as he could to vote
for him, the Abolition papers said that he
meant only the invalids; but the day of
the election showed that among the hun
dreds of soldiers who lined our streets, not
one disabled appeared in every ten. The
same thing has been practiced in the State
of New York, The Herald, of Monday,
Eaid : •' We understood that by election
day (yesterday) there will be scattered

diers, we hope, will thus eejoy a pleasant
trip home, and that after the eirction the
most of them will be so wonderfully ben•
efited by it as to be ready to return at
once for'active duty." It the New York
invalids pursue the course of our
Pennsylvania sufferers, they will not be
in a hurry in returning to the service.
Here they, until a ftw days ago, occupied
Cie most prominent places at our public
amusements, while their regular d ipar
tures and returns from and to their differ.

indifferent to what was passing in neigh
borinz, restaurants. For invalids, these
gallant fellows retained an amoun

gratifying, assuring their numerous ad•

ger of their early dissolcition, yllgti

From what hai taken place, regarding
the soldiers' voto, the people can perceive
-one thing very plainly ! which is the deter
ruination of the party in power, using the
armies of the country to prolong its lease

doing the same thing next year to elect a
President. Their returning as invalids
now to elect State officers, will be follow.

PPS OA CHI A G_BIKH VI
LL
To THE EDITOR OF THE PITTSBURGH POST:
—The Pittsburgh Dispatch is the only
one of the four , AbAition papers of this
izify which has thought proper to offer any
'sort of excuse for the great outrage upon
the freedom of political discussion aet o❑
foot by preachers who delight more in
politics than they da in prayers. The Dis
patch passes by "Kt:aura]) and BARKER'
as needing no defense, and takes up the
cudgel in behalf of Rt. Rev. Bishop POT
TER. Perhaps it would be more proper to
say that the Dispatch has taken up the
gnantlet and drawn the sword in the
Bishop's cause, for that newspaper is
chiefly owned and controlled by a military
MED.
The Dispatch intimates, with most re
freshing and innocent humor, that it was
Bishop nomNs and not Bishop POTTER
who was meant in my article about "po
litical preaching." I would assure the
Dispatch that it is entirely mistaken. I
alluded to Bishop PoTrim. and his elrctiou
eering protest, and to him only. Bishop
HOPKINS is amply able to take cora of
himself in every case—and he has done so
in this instance with ackno: ledged force
and effect. But alas! fur Bishop POTTER,
his partizan manifesto and its misguided
signers ! alas 1 that a Bishop, once uni
venally respected and beloved, should
cease to preach peace to those under his
charge, and should become the willing in
strument of a cunning clique et politi
clans, to scatter fire brands broadcast over
the field of his laboh I
The poor apology that Bishop HOPEI \ -
provoked this unfortunate "protest" can
not be truly made by Bishop POTTER and
his obsequious followers. The “Bible
View cf Slavery" in a more exlcuded
form had been before the public for years
previous to the elections of 1863. Du
ring all those years, no Bishop, no body
of clergymen of the Episcopal Church las
far as I can learn) had heel so offended
by it that they felt it to be their duly to
combine, denounce or 'protest - against
it. Bishop Porrta and Bishop
lived and labored together in their
vocation all through this period, in ;
feet Christian brotherhood. Before, t.tirl
during, and after Bishop Porres's
to Europe, Bishop Hoesrss, most probe
bly at the instance of Bishop POTTER,
(unless I am greatly misinformed) minis
tared extensively ift this Diocese, and c
ercised Episcopal functions. It it nci
strange that in all this time,
king, though his ''Bible Views ofiklavery•'
were known, should have escaped tha„,l'ne
dignant reprobation" of Bisher l'ovl Eft
and those who follow him
It is pot denied that the "Bible Veiw of
Slavery" condensed into a pamphlet from
a large work, was circulated as early as
January, 1861. No political contest was
then in progress or soon to occur. How
widely, for what purpose, or by whom it
was thus disseminated, I cannot tell. But
I know that I first saw it in the summer
or 1863, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, an
Abolition paper. It is equally undeniable
that no concerted notice was taken of this
pamphlet by Bishop PortEa and his rleri•
cal adherents till September, 1663. Bow
is this to be explained? Why was Birth op
HoPains and his shocking heresy allowed
er`"i nd given it t tcc-ihe world Why
was he, for years after his sentiments on
this matter were published, a most wel
come laborer in Bishop PorrEa's dioceg.?
I said before that to defend Bishop Hot'
BINS was labor I would not presume to
undertake, knowing how much better he
is able to perform it. Neither shall I at
tempt any discussion of the facts and d
trines in the "Bible View of Slavery." Bo t
I will take the liberty to express the opin
ion that Bishop POTTER will succeed no bet
ter in refuting the positions of Bishop HOP
KINS' book, than ho basin his unbrotherly
attempt to degrade the Bishop of Vermont
for the sake of promoting Andrew G
Cartin's election.
Bat the value and the quality of
Bishop HOPKINS' book are not 'material in
this discussion. The Democratic party
are not engaged in sustaining slavery
in the abstract, slavery by the sanction
of the Bible, nor slavery anywhere--
they simply contead that the rights of
alaveholders, as of all other men, under
the Constitution, shall be protected. And
this Bishop Potter and the clerical politi
clans who surround him, know very well.
It is this wbich makes the chief part of
the injustice, wrong and ruin they have
committed. Bishop Potter sought to de
grade his old friend and fellow laborer,
- -
and to hart the Democratic party at the
same momenta d by making an nnwar
ranted issue—the effect cf his grievous
error mill recoil upon himself and upon
the unity of his church.
is a strange and saddening spectacle.
hat of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Ponta, rush•
ng to the rescue of Garrison, Greely
Co., on this "Bible view of Slavery."
Long years ago, these apostles of anarchy
and rapine, whose astuteness far outweighs
any other quality they possess, openly ad
mitted that they had no warrant for their
notions or fir their course in the Bible--they
rejected it as the foundation atone of the
anti•slavery Babel, and called aloud with
shocking imprecations for an "anti slavery
Bible and an anti slavery God I" They
went into their Abolition revival spurning
alike the Bible and the Constitution, obly
as infidels and outlaws would ,dare to do.
And behold, after they have progressed so
fearfully in their terrible work—when,
chiefly by their agency, the land is drench•
ed in fraternal blood—the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Potter, of Pennsylvania, comes to heir
aid—he joins these Abolition propogan
dists—he not only tells Greely & Co ,
that, notwithstanding their own c nvic
lions, the Bible is on their side, but, for
getting Ms sickness and his seventy years
—forgetting the duty and the dignity of a
Christian Bishop, and clothing himself
in his Episcopal authority, and hurling a
mighty anathema against one of his vener
able brethren, he leaps into the arena of
politics, on the eve of an importiint filen
And this brings me to the time and man
ner of Bishop Potter's demonstration.
As beforestated, years had elapsed, and no
adverse notice was taken by the learned
prelate of Pennsylvania ot'Bishop
kilts and his ''Bible View." But in Sep

from the manner in which they replied to
questions, giving in some instances the

Naval Affairs

naval matters there is nothing of atatlieg
interest. Since the attempt of the rebels
to blow up the frigate New Ironaides,
by means of torpedoes and other machines
(..1 an infernal nature, ever y thing has been
quiet enough on their side, They have
n,it as yet essayed a sec and attempt to rid
the harbor of the old ship that is more
ttan a match for the entire fleet of rebel
ram. nod iron-clads at the city. The first
rsenited so disastrously to the new ma
, hie ri and to all hands on board that it is
hardly probable we shall again be annoy
ed by them at a very early day.
The New Irensides
- •
13,a in order to effectually guard against
the peculiar mode.; of submarine attack
which the devilish ingenuity of the chit
airy has devised, a system of defense has
teen adopted that promises to be success•
lul. The ship is now so hedged in that it
will be impossible for a torpedo to explode
near enough to it to occasion any damage:
and as for any manchine like that which
:ailed in the last attempt doing damage, is
quite oat of the question. It will do no
dam.igp to notify the rebels that all our
v•—.B( Is siying iuside the bar are now quite
well prepared against their tactics and
fear them not.
A sari mistake occurred off Charleston,
on Saturday' night last, by which one of
our sailors wis killed and a steamer die
able-l. The przo steamer Herald, in
charge of an Acting Master and a prize
etord toward Charleston bar, and
W sonn discovered by Captain Whiting,
of the Ottowa. The Herald being of i.e
euliar construction and unknown to our
fleet. vests very naturally taken fora block•
ale runner by Captain Whiting, and he
ordered a gun to be tired to bring her to.
No attention was paid to the signal to stop
by the If ersld, hut she steamed on arJund
the bow oftbe Ott owa, and headed for the
; ort quarter. the cfficer on deck announc
ing teat he was "ail risht." The move
useic'ons that elle was fired trite and
brought to a sloe. Unfortunately the
tetaartermaster at the Herald's wheel was
killed, and the vessel itself disabled by
the same shot etrikirg the connectirg rod
raid breaking it. It was then diecovered
'het the stranger was one of our own ves•
eels. She was taken in tow in the morn
ing by the Ottowa and brought off the In
let, from whence she will go to Hiiton
Head for repairs. No blame can be at
tached to the Ottowa for the occurrence,
as she was strictly performing her duty.
The Bombardment of Sumter.
The unusual quiet of the past three
am-ks was brckeu yesterday by General
Gillmcre's new batteries,which opened cn
I•ort Sumter and on Forts Moultrie and
Johnson, and the batteries about those
works. 'I he rebels replied to our fire, but
with little accuracy. Our fire has been
quite sharp and tolerably effective. The
bricks on Fart Sam ter tiFw in clouds, and
it was the opinion of one of our general
officers that it was quite as safe to be out
s:de the work as inside. It mast have
been very hot for the inmates of the tort
if fragments of shot and shell, bricks,
mortar and splinters can bring about such
a state of affairs. The fire upon Moultrie
and Johnsen had the desired effect. The
rebels &red feebly and inaccurately. Not
a casualty occurred on our side during the
day.
To day our Parrots are talking ad Ici2.? , y
as ever, bat with what result we 1 - lve r
learned. One thing is certain, th, s
have been checked in any efforts ti Aly
have made to erect a ha'tery with.n ti
a
work, and the chances are that si,C,
work is already destroyed by the shot and
shell now raining into the fort. The scene
we daily witness is in co ways different
from the one I have described. Perhaps
heavier pieces of masonry are detached
and more brick dust is thrown into the air
by our heavy projectiles than in the first
bombardment, because the range is nearly
two thirds shorter than before, and the
force of impact is correspondingly in•
creased. Sumter has no: replied, r.or is it
likely that the enemy can mach longer
maintain possession of the work. But we
shall see in due time what is to be accom
plished
Onr Batteries Firing !on Charlesto_ .
As I close one of our guns is firing upon
the city of Charleston, with what result
cannot yet be stated. St. Michael's spire
is the target for our fire.

Gen oral It s by Smith's Proolsunatlon.
To the people of Louisiana, Arkansas
and Texas : Your homes are in peril.
VigDrous efforts on your part can alone
save portions of your State from invasion.
You should contest the advance of the
enemy, thicket, gully and stream ; harass
his rear and cut off his supplies. Thus
you will prove important anxilaries in any
attempt to reach him in front, and drive
him, routed, from our soil. Determina
tion and energy only can prevent hie de
etrnction of your homes. By a vigorous
and united effort you preserve your prop
erty, you secure independence for your
selves and children—all that renders life
desirable. Time is our best friend. En
dure a while longer; victory and peace
must crown our efforts. The amended
regulation governing the formation of
corps for local defense are published for
your information, and I call on you to
organize promptly under its provisions.
E. KIRBY SMITH.
Lieut. Gen. Commanding.
General Pemberton's Report
Says that Vicksburg was not surrendered
for the want of provisions or ammunition,
but because the men, eighteen thousand in
number, were utterly exhausted and could
not be made to perform duty acceptably
any longer.
"Tripartite Alliance."
The Southern papers intimate their be•
lief in the statement made by letter writersat Nassau, that diplomatic business has
been some time in progress to effect an
alliance between the United States, Eng
land and Russia, for "mutual defense and
the permanent establishment of civil lib
erty."
A Mysterious Patent

A patent has Iseen issued by the Cooled
elate States to Captain Francis D. Lee, o
the Engineer Corps, for a new mode o
naval attack, which, from prudential roe
sons, may not now be made public.
i3enator Wilson and the Poor Men.
We have already published some of the
insults to New York uttered by Senator
Wilso n in a speech at Brunswick, Maine.
Here is another remark from the lips of
this Abolition Massachusetts senator.
"ANY HONEST POOR NI AN THAT
CANNOT RAISE $BOO HAD BETTER
GO TO THE WAR."
This from the author of the Conscrip
ion act was uttered in a speech at Utica
Air for Typhus Fever
A Paris physician, considering typhus
f ever to be a kind of paralysis' or asphyxia
of the vital functions, occasioned by the
inhalation of lethiferous atmosphere,
either from a typhoid patient or any other
morbid source, admits air freely to the in•
valid's bedroom., to which plan he attri
butes many remarkable cures. He says
there can be no infection in the open air—
fresh air, more over, enables a patient to
take stimulants which he could not other
wise bear.
Narcotic Poisons
The effects of narcotic poisons seems
to be deatro yed by pouring cold water on
th, face and head. A girl, accidently poi
s )ncd iu England with laudanum, had all
the usual remedies administered without
ITtcl; when cold water c•as.applied, how•
ever, she breathed more easily and bled
from the nose. The treatment with
cNater being suspended she relapsed into
coma; being resumed she agaiu•rallied,
and in sixty hours was completely recover
