According to Rev. Dr. John Cotton Smith, in his reply to Bishop Potter's Pastoral, nn effort will be made to introduce a new canon, intended to allow to the clergy of this church more liberal rela tions with those of other denominations.— This movement will meet with vigorous re sistance as well as hearty support. The clergymen identified with it are well known for their perseverance and-independence, as well as for a tendency to controversial dis cussion; While the Bishop will be supported in the course he has adopted by the vast body of his clergy. The return of delegates from the Southern dioceses will be another and still more important feature of the coming Convention, and there are questions to be considered which will aid to make the Occa sion one of special interest. THE DEMOCRACY AND SHERMAN.--A few days ago, the Democracy of Ohio were re solved to appropriate Gen. SHERMAN, whe ther or not. As if he had no political prin ciples, they were going to tit him out with a sot of their own ; and if they could have worked him like a puppet, they would have set him up over them as the idol of their worship. nut, alas ! for the vanity of human wishes ! The leader of their choice was al ready enlisted in the ranks of the enemy.— Sherman plainly declares that he will sup port the Republic..n candidate for Governor, and he does not himself aspire to political honors. Shernian's point blank rebuff and John- BOWS cold disregard should teach the Democ racy not to go seeking after strange gods.— Let them return to their old idols; let them heel the lamentable schisms in their body, and then by next fall they may be strong enough again to be decently beat Sot•Tn SOCIETv.—Gen. Sick les, just returned from South America, says that in Colombia suffrage is univer al, even including negroes, lsn ancipation had pro duced great changed in the social and politi cal status of the blacks.

During tlii4 election of 1864, the same Democratic Corn mi ttee was industrious in circulating libels on Mr. Johnson, denouncing him as an apos tate to his party and a traitor to his State, becsuse he held Tennessee fort to the Praise from such demagogues is always more damaging than abuse. The address is of no particular consequence, bectitiso it cannot possibly exercise any appreciable influence upon the opinions of the country, as well from its un timely fiOpreposterous doctrines, as from the insignificance, personal and po litical, of its signers. MASONS Noa•ru AND Sotru.—The New buryport Herald understpds that thed.pading Masons of Massachusetthire about to invite their most influential brethren at the South to visit them and partake of their hospitali ties, that the memories of past strife may be hlotted out and the Union commence where it should, in the individual hearts. If, it is well said, the churches and the political par ties should take the same action, and give the general interchange of thoughts and fe 1- lags, we should do a thousand times more for the country and mankind, than we can do by furious discussion about our rights and duties, when we give no evidence of sympa thy and tolerance. CLOSINO ITB I.o.tions.—The officers of the U. S. Sanitary Commission have issued a farewell address to the branches and aid so cieties, stating that no further collections of supplies or money need be made. The work of the 'Commission is almost done, and no further requisitions will be made upon the public. The branches of the Sanitary Com mission and Aid Societies are requested to forward such supplies as they have on hand. Thetaddress says, in gcnclusion : , "We have tried to do our duty impartial ly, diligently, wisely. For the means of carrying on this vast work, which has grown up in our hands, keeping pace with the grow- . _ ing -immensity of - the war, and whffilirive are now about to lay down after giving the A merican public an account of our steward ship, we are chiefly indebted, to the money - . created by the fairs which American woman inaugurated and corrupted; and to the . sup plies collected by you under our organiza tion. To you, then, is finally due , the largest part of Whitiever gratitude belongs to the Sanitary Commission. It is as it should be.

Kentu.Oky Polities. A political contest of universal interest and significance is being waged at this moment in Kentucky, which, though apparently, local in its character, is entitled to a wider interest than is accorded to it. 2_ n election for mem bers of Congress and members of the State Legislature is to he held in August, and the Kentuckians, always famous for the zeal and. energy with which they conduct. their poli tical struggles, even when no great question is involved, are carrying on this one with unaccustomed spirit and warmth. The only question involved in it is this : Shall the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery be adopted? This question, it will be recol lected, came up before the Kentudky Legis lature, last winter, and was decided in the_ negative. But the friends . of the amendment were net discouraged. Beaten on the first field, they. immediately prepared to renew the combat on anothitr and broader one.— They have appealed from the decision of the Legislature to the people, entreating them to elect a rriAjority to t e next Legislature, pledged in flavor of the amendment, so that it may be ratified without further dispute, and the State disenthral ed from the institu tion which, in its present condition and status, is preeminently a curse, because it is a progenitor of interminable discord. The fight is carried on with remarkable spirit, and ability, and with a dignity and courtesy that mark even the fiercest discus sion's. The Louisville Journat, Gov. Bram lette, Hon. George H. Yeoman, General Rousseau, and Hon. Green Clay Smith are the leading champions of the amenetnent.— Gov. Bramlette is not a candidate for any office, but. he is throwing the weight of his huge personal and political influence intikhe scale in favor of the proposition. American Securities in Germany. As heretofore stated, there is a great de mand for American stocks in Germany. A letter dated Altoona, near Hamburg, of the 2 , 4 th ult., says : While all other -securities are depreciat ing, only United States stocka,seem to gain ground. The largest amount of business done in these securities hitherto was last week - one person having bought the enormous amount Of five hundred thousand dollars for himself, besides being a permanent holder to the amount of two hundred thousand dollars.— The price on Thursday was the highest vet reached, being seventy-three; they are now at seventy ; standing firm. Large invest ments arc made in these stocks, and a very good reason for it, as at present rates they will pay about eight per cent. interest, a price not to be had in any other equally safe in vestment. '1 he Germans are a thrifty, and safe, calculating people, et•er choosing the salo,t and best market for their products, whether motley or goods, and they seem to be, now the war is over, perfectly satisfied to deposit their savings in American securities. Money is very plentiful in Euriipe, never more so than at this moment, and at such low rates it is no won d er our bonds are ~, SURVEYOR GENERAL The time• to nemiurjte andlaCt . hefnre tI:C people of the State proper persons for Audi tor and Surveyor General, i- fast ltpprmtcl,- ing.

Thrilling scenes at the Burning of Barnum's Mpeum. The reporter of the Art Y.

Luckily the windows of the Museum were unclosed, and he had a per feeview of almost the entire int rior of the apartment. The following: is his staternent of what followed, in his own langupge: CON IUR lON AND MTR COOL E LN CH ME- EIEMMEG Protecting myself from the intense heat us well as I could by taking the mattress from the bed and erecting it as a bulwark before the window, with only enough space reserved on'the top as a look-out. 1 anx iou,ly observed the animals in the oppo site room. Imlnediatelyopposite the window through which 1 ga%ed, was a large cage containing a lion and lioness. To the right hand was the three-storied cage, containing monkeys at the top, two kangaroos in the second-story and a ppy family . ' of 'rats, cats, adders rabbits, etc., in the lower com partment. To the left of the lion's cage was the tank containing the two vast alligators. and still further to the left, partially hidden froln my sight, was bite grand tank containing the great while whale, which has created such a furore hi our sight-seeing midst for the past few Weeks. Upon the IleerAyas caged the boa-constrictors, anacondas afid rattle snakes, %hose heads would now and then rise menacingly through the top of the cage. In the extreme right was the cage entirely shut from my view at lirst, containing the Bengal tiger and the Polar bear, whose ter rified growls could be distinctly heard front behind the partition. I= The conflagration was, as yet, confined to the upper part of the building. The lower walls, however were becoming rapidly licat ed, and all of the animal , began to manifest unnew.iness.

The snakes were writinw; about, crippled and blistered by the bra., darting out their forked tongues and ex pressing their rage and fear in the most sibilant or hisses, I=l The •' Happy Family" were experiencir,g an amount of luatutitude which was evident ly too cordial for philosophical enjoyment. A long tongue of flame had crept under the cage, completely singing everphairfrom the cat's body. The felicitous adder was slow-, ly burning in two, and busily engaged in impregnating his agonized system with his own venom. The joyful rat had lost his tail by a failing bar of iron ; and the beau title rabbit, pettorated.hy, a red-hot nail, looked as if nothing would he more great- NI than a corner in some gsquindaux farm yard. The members of the delectated con vocation were all huddled together in the bottom of their cage, willed] suddenly gave n ay, precipitating them out of view into the depths below, which by this° time were also blazing like the filled Top het. CONTINUATION OF THE Meanwhile the lion and the tiger were con tinuing the contest, now with the advantage on ono side, now on the other ; and-the boa was slowly tightening his fatal coils round the panting body of the lioness, which, how ever, hit andAtraggled, lacerating the striped skin of its adversary terribly. The floor was already crimson with their blood, while the commingling hisses, howls, yells and roars utterly surpassed-all efforts at des.,ription. THE WHALE AND ALLIGATORS IN TORMENT At this moment the flames rolled again into the room, and then again retired. , The --whale and-alligators-wero-by-this-Jime-silf foring dreadful torments The water in which they swam was literally boiling. The alli gators dashed fiercely about endeavoring to escape, and opening and shutting their great jaws in ferocious torture; but the poor whale, almost boiled, with gnat ulcers bursting from his blubbery sides, could only feebly swim about, though blowing excessively, and every now and then sending up great fountains of spray. At length crack went the glass sides of the' great cases, and whale and alligators rolled out on the floor, with the_rushing and steam ing water. The whale died pretty easily, haVing been prt tty well used up before. A few great gasps . and a convulsive flap or two of his mighty nukes were his expiring. spasms. One of the alligators was killed almost im mediately by falling across a great fragment of shattered glass, which cut open his MO-lu nch 'Mid let - Out the part of his en trails to the' light of day. The remaining alligator became involved in a controversy' with an anaconda, and joined the melee in the' centre of the , hhizkng apartment. CLOSE OP THE TURILLLNO SCENE At this moment tho floor, undormluad. by flame, &alio way, with tin,awful crash, and the living, struggling; 'howling, writhing mass was launched into a gulf of red ind yel low fire, sending up a whirlwind of smoke, sparks and cinders to the very heavens. The last object I saw was the polar bear, upon a white-hot square of sheet-iron, with all the hair burned from his side, and stand ing dark and stiff, and rapidly baking brown. Before the whale went down with the rest, a stream of spermnee . i ran from his carouse down the - sides r f the building, taking fire and making iii ptmnptu cm - 0, on n co h, s sal scale. FREAKS OF MONKEYS, ETC A number hf the birds which were caged ill tile upper part of the building were sot free by some charitable• inelin,d person at the first alarm of fire, nt intervals they flew out. There were many valuable tropical birds—parrots of all sizes and manifold col ors, paroquets, cockatoos, mocking birds, humming birds, etc., as well as some vul tures and eagles, and one condor. Oreat ex citement existed among the swaying crowds in the streets below us they took wing. There were eon fined in the same room a few ser pents, which also obtained their liberty; and soon after the rising and devouring flames began to enwrap the entire building. a splen did and emblematic sight was presented to the wondering and up-gazing throngs.— Bursting through the central r•,,senient, with tlup of wing and lashing coils, appeared an eagle and a serpent wreathed in tight. For a moment they hung poised in mid-air t pre senting a novel and terrible oontlict. It was the Earth and-Air (or their respective rep rcsentati ves) at war for mastery. The base and the lofty. f,lu• .zroveler and the soarer, were entangled in deadly battle. At length the flat head of the serpent sank, his writh ing, sinuous form grew still, and, wafted up ward by the cheers of the gazing multitude. the eagle, with a scream of triumph, and bearing his prey his iron talons, soared toward the sun. Se V emit monkeys: escaped from the burning building to the neig - li boring roofs and streets: considerable excitement wits caused by the attempts to secure them. One of the most amusing incidents in this respect was in c o nne c tion with Mr. James Gordt 11 13ennett. 'l'lleyuteran 'editor of the //r,tald was sitting in' his' private office, with hi , back to the open window, calmly discus sing with a friend the chances that the lley- Oa establishment would escape the confla gration, which at that time was threateningly advancing up Ann st. towat:il Nassau. In the course of his conversation, .Nlr.

The snakes crawled on the sidewalk and into Broadway, where some of them died from injuries received, and others were dis patched by the excited populace. Several of the serpents of the copperhead species es caped the fury of the tumultuous masses, and true to their instincts, sought shelter in The IVorld and News offices. I=l A large black Bear escaped from the burn ing Museum into Ann street, and then made his way into Nassau, and down that thorough fare into Wall, where his appearance caused a sensation. Some superstitious persons believed hint the spirit of a departed Ursa Major, and others of his fraternity welcomed the animal as a fallorable onion. The Bear walked quiet ly along to the Custom House, ascended the steps of the building, end became bewildered us many a biped bear has done before him. He seemed to lose his sense of ision, end, no doubt, endeavoring to operate for a bill, walked over the side of the steps and broke his neck. He succeeded in his object, but it cost him dearly. The appearance of Bruin in the street sen sibly affected the . stock market, and shares rapidly; but when he lost his liie, in the careless manner we have described, shares advanced again, and the Bulls triumphed once more.

An experience of twenty live years will enable me in six months to duplicate, in Europe and America, every qpecimen of n atu ral history which adorned my lute Museum, and fromiiistorical socie ties, and other sources within iny.knowledge, I can nearly' supply the places of th ll eovefu tionary and other relics which have been de stroyed,- For years I have been obligedifor want °frown, Ao reject many rare and valu able curiosities stored in the museums and priVate colleetions of 'Europe, .which I shall now have the pleasure of placing - before the American public: And. I risk nothing in saying thil before many Months elapse if life be spared, open ,to the public_ a popular place of instruction and amusement infinitely more extensive, commodious, mid interesting than any, ever before known up on this continent. I shall despatch a special agent to Europe on Saturday next, and shall soon follow myself, in order to carry out with business representatives abroad the a bove plan. In the meantime, in order to give employ ment to my dramatic company and other at taches of the Museum, who are dependent upon such engagements for their daily sup port, T propose to continue the performance of the successful pantomime lately produced at the Museum, in connection with the living curiosities, as soon as a public hell or theatre can be securedforthe porraLse This, I Iru , t, will he in a few days.

Enforcement of the Confiscation QM Richmond leftor'of the I ILh inst. to the Philadelphia 'P prcirei ays : Confiscation has commenced in Richmond, and there is already a vast amount of fe, ling being manifested on the subject by the rich men of the city. Judge Underwood paid a flying, visit to the ' city about the middle of June, and although at' the time he did not appear to be doing' anything, it, is now apparent that be accom plished considerable work during the two days of his sojourn. At that time there was no United States District. Marshal to servo and enforce the writs, and although over one 111111(11.1 , d orders for seizure under the conies cation act were issued by Judge Underwood ' during his brief stay, they hays ever since been lying harmlessly in the Clerks's office 44r the District Court until two days age. On 'Plums& y of last weep: Colonel .1. F. Lapin .arrived from 'Washington, hearing with hint his commission as United States Marshal for the District of Virginia, and he immediately set about theservice of the writs. Colonel Lallin was the Colonel of the :Nth New York, and in that position bore a pr.iin lactic Ad honorable Oil in the battle of Fair Oaks anti odier great eonflicts, losing i n th,, terrible day of Fair Oaks ono Mt ndlicd and iine men feton his regiment killed and wound - - ed.

A number of theciti zens of that locality turned out armed with stones and clubs, put a violent period to his pilgrimage terrestrial and sent him to the ..denrinition bow-Wows." SAD ACCIDENT.—On last Thursday morning, Jimiux, a daughter of Postmaster CirRIUDEN, of Shippensburg, in this county, aged about 11 years, was drowned, by fall ing into a cistern. The'ves:tel contained a bout four feet,of water, and the child fell in through a trap-door in the Boor. When discovered life was entirely extinct, and it was evident that she had been in the water for full half an hour. FESTIVAL CONCERT..--We take plea suile in stating, that the Ladies' Association of the Reformed Congregation of this place are now making arrangements to hold a grand "Festival Concert," at Rheem's Hall, On the evening of the third of August, for the benefit of the Church. We understand they have already engaged the very best mpiical talent of our town for the occasion ; and it, is intended that the music, to consist of Sacred and Social Songs, Glees, and Chor uses, shall be of the very best, from our most popular authors,,§o as to make the entertain ment, as all our social concerts should be, elevating and relining in its character. A new and inieresting feature of the entertain ment, for us at Carlisle, will be the gratuitous distribution of refreshments to the entire au dience, thus making the occasion refreshing alike to the physical person as well as to the intellectual and moral consciousness. For our part, wo know of nothing so elevating to the moral sense, or so well calculated 'to develop 'a truly social and moral tone of character for ik;community, as the 'well or ganized :and p: openly conducted Concert, and we bespeak for these ladies" not Only a "full house, but the hearty thanks and appro bation of a: right thinking people,, In.. the Midst'of - the cares' and voxations - of - life, all Cemmunities.ciauteionally reilitirc recreation 'and diVersion ; and luiWiinper - tant it; , that in these rcdrontions, the music shall be tuned in tbat.sphere which ontibles the,heatt, cul tivates the taste,•and adorns character. To our fi lends ,wo would uty,by all ; moans go to the "Festival Concert." PROOSEDVNIPS OF THE PROVOST MAR -81141.,'S OFFIZE.--It appears to be the pre vailing impression that Provost Marshals and their offices are among the things that were. This erroneous Bpinion was brought about by the fact that on or about the 15th day of June, the Commissioners and Sur geons of Boards of Enrollment wore re lieved from further duty by the War pepart ment, and about the same time the Provost Marshals were instructed to reduce the num ber of employees. In this district, in compliance with said instructions, all the deputies and special agents. and several of the clerks, were re lieved. The force of the office now consists of three clerks and one janitor. The headquarters or this District were es tablished at Carlisle on the 9th of May, 18(13. The hoard was con iened on the 12th Of May, 18413, oil Enrolling Officers appointed, and instructions were given them by the Board before they entered upon their duties.
