Tux EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.—The com
ing General Convention of the Episcopal
Church in October next, says the New York
Evening Pose, will be one of the most impor
tant in the entire history of the American
Episcopal Church. 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

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

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 ~,

quality of tone; for variety and beauty of
effects; for excellence in crescendo and di
minuendo ; for quickness of response to the
touch in rapid staccato and legato passages ;
for the ease and entire freedom from fatigue
with which the bellows is operated ; for the
stability of every part of the workmanship
and for capacity for standing well in tune,
the now Cabinet Organs of Messrs Mason
& Hamlin's-portable reed instruments, the
largest of which are smaller than ordinary
pianefortes-are not only quite equal to the
smaller pipe organs of the best makers„but
Much superior to, the generality of those

Thrilling scenes at the Burning of
Barnum's Mpeum.
The reporter of the Art Y. Tribune gives
the following most graphic description, of
the strange scene& witnessed in and about
Barnum's Museum during the recent con
flagration :
OTTIL REPORTERS VISION OF LI & DI ATIi
Our reporter fortunately occupies a room
on the north side of Ann street, corner of
Broadway. the windows of which look im
mediately into this compartment; and no
sooner was he apprisedrof the fire than he
repaired there, confident of " items"
in abundanee. 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 white or silver fox ruin
up and down his cage, whining piteou•ly
and endeavoring to o, c op Q .._Th e Icon,
paced hurriedly up and down, moaning most
dismally, and all the other beasts manifested
similar nneasines.:. The serpents stuck their
heads up apove the sill of the window nub
writhed about in .Irango contortion,.
When the lire• had eaten its swift. we y down
to the third floor, and the lurid glare burst
throng'. the transoms of the dourn, the panic
aimudur the beasts beacme positively fearlmil.
They sprang 21gilillSt their h'ell bar- noel
StreVe to rend them With their teeth, at the
same' time sending forth savage and fright, li
ed (Ties which were almost human in their
Qouly. At length, when the thimuck burst
through the top of time door and commence•el
to lick the topg‘ of the cages, the tumult
reached its height. Yells, roars, how s and
kerearus Went up from the doomed
brutes, which were heard to the di-I anc, eef
half a Mile.

found it impossible to take it coolly.
1111=
The monkeys were perched around the
windows, shivering with dread and afraid
to jump out. 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. Bennett
observed': '' However, though I usually had
good luck in crises of tire, they say that 1111.

pantaloons ripped with magnificent miscel

from the miry streets, into which they had

spirits of a mud bank.
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.

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.

Grateful for the universdnee

patronage which has been bestowed upon my
efforts to please for the last quarter of a cen
tury, I have ,resolved i in compliance with
numerous.sequests, to erect immediately, in
this city, a museum which will be an erns-
Ment to our great metropolis and an honor
to the country. 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

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

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

during his brief stay, they hays ever since

On 'Plums& y of last weep: Colonel .1. F.

RE-.\ PPoINTEI). -- We learn that NU,
ZINN, Esq., has rore'Yed his conunis'Sion as
Postmaster of Carlisle for the ensuing four
years. Mr. ZINN has recently made many
improvements in our Post Office, in the way
of increased facilities for ingress and egress,
lock-boxes, &c. His re-appointment will
give entire satisfaction to our people.
RAIUD Doti —On Monday evening, a
rabid dog was discovered running at large in
tbe west end of town. 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.
