This Et3glish African Bishop, who has
made I:timaellso famous recently, assail
ing, with infidel weapons, the Books of
Moses and Joshua in the Old Testament
jeriptures, is thus,spoken of in thel.fondon
nmes ,
!•-q It eppears•there was a Mr. COLENSO, a
anent amiable, diligent and ingenious school
master Harrow. He published for the
usa•of schools 'an -admirable compendium
of arithmetic, 4nd another: of elgebra, both
iemarkable,•we believe, for good selections
of examples to be worked by the scholar:
Sothe was made-a: Bishop, and sent out to
convert the Hottentots, Caffres and Zulus:
Some of our reidere may, perhaps, 'think it
odd thaVa men should be selected for an
important mission because he has alum for
fractions and . ctibic equations ; but that heti
long leen the custom - cif our Church. If
ainanionlY proves himself a clever fellow
oa any subject whatever, we - make -him a
Bishop; or a Dean, or something, ind he is
geiierally clever enough to keep quiet.
However, COLZNEIOj made by this time a
Doctor ofDivinity, went to' Natal about
ten years ago, and found -himself at the
head of , not quiteOtozen clergymen, and ,
about -20,000 square miles of savages:
After: he 'had been , there some time; all ac
citicdtiled to his looking into the 'Bible.
The -Zahn' *anted to know :what he had
ebrnektid.,•aia the - ehortest answer to ;the
liestfon was to give them'the Bible,'wh'ich
Iticcame necessary to translate. fnr. the
pupae. So he • set , to vork with air in- -
telligent Zulu, a tort of colored SPIiIOZA,
ieem: Tide enfant terrible, as
oar neighbors would call him, began to ask'
impertinent questions, which Dr. 'Coma so
foutid , aVdifficulty in answering. So far as
their - loint labors extended, it is evident`
that ' , there followed'e : not uncommon re
stilt. Itistead •of Dr. COLENSO convert

THE LATE REPULSE.
Defeat might be too strong alarm to ap
ply to the result of the late campaign of
Gen. Hooker. But it was a sad repulse.
Every thing that God orders, is good, as
from him ; and every thing which he vis
its upon hiS people •is good, also, for them.
They deserve chastisement, and will be
made better y his rod. This is a conso
lation to the Christian in his private .af
fairs; and as we believe that we are a
Christian people, and that God really means
our benefit, we are not reduced to despair
by national reverses. We do not mean to
intimate, by this, that We never sorrow for
what occurs. Unfeelingness is• one of the
most proVoking sins in a child, toward the
parent's chastising hand, and must bring
stroke,after streke; and so alio in the na
tion. If we stand it out bravely before
God, reverses will :follow each other. We
'Must be humbled.
The lati reverse is the more, painful from
its near conne,;ipn, with the day, of Nation
al Humiliatien, Faiting and Prayer. The
nation had just made a , show:of hum.bling
itself and' calling . upon ; 'but there was
a want of reverence. Sabbatha, e were
being, profaned, by .army reviews,
"attended ;
by _high functionaries from Washington.
Where then could chastisementso conspic- :
neusly and'appropriately be administered?,
God,will befeared; a . nd bed in reverence..
, ; -
.To attempt to impose upon Idyll - is the ver
iest.,vanity.. The army, also, by what ne
'cesiity we cannot tell, was• on that - day in,
'circumstances 'very tinfavorable to `fasting;
and the services of 'Diyine and social wor
ship. l[t had moved inthe beginning of the
week, and was then, in the •field, ':facing the
foe. But it will not suffice to say that the
army could not arrange its movements so as
to have that day serve God. If "the
thought was that it could' not spare the
time, that thought was vain. God. has
sent it back again, and it loses many days.
God cannot be - mocked with implinily;' and
what 'he *mild pass by unnoticed in
heathen, 14e will surely'. punish in those
who. know his will, who profess to 'serve
end "who" claim` his , favor as an obe
dient and PrayiUtpeople.
Letter writers tell us that.:the President
and ; Secretary of War, and General IlooKEtt,
and the whole.army, are , bioyint in spirit.
They make us sorry 'Saying F; fad if
we could fully believe the statement we
would be.,znost, deeply sorry. We would
then he sure that the late calamity was not
the . last,; but that another, and probably
one still more aWful, was near. Just' as
firmly as we believe - that we are GoN:peb
ple, just so, Sure are we that God.will,rn,are
us feel, and deeply feel, ,under T his afflicting
hand. " Pride goeth before destruction;
and a hanglity - Spiiit before a fall."
One great: cause for kection and grow
ing doubta is, the continued pride, ,and
lwitstfulness, and want of feeling, in -out
influential men. . This induces thew' tto
depreoiate the eneniy, arid force:on:l
- unprepared"„ into battle Hence de
feat after, defeat. The . : means of victory,
.as against such a foe. as, assails us, .are not
ased - ; and it is presumption to ask God'to
work a. iniincle on Cid behalf. ' '

PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1863,
In short, if any person studies the English
lattuage with a view to gain wisdom, there
is not another book which is more worthy
of being read than the Bible."
Our Army and Navy afford an immense
field for ministerial labor, and Christian ,
benevolence. More than a thousand Chap
lains are needed to fully occupy this field,
and are provided for by the Government;
and their selectien is so arranged for, that
Christian activity can influence it greatly.
It demands ten times the solicitude which
has yet been manifest. The position' re
quires piety of the deepest and liveliest
kind. It needs prudence and self-denial.
It should have Christian cotiperatien. , All
who'love the Lord Jesus Christ, should give
their influence. Denominational peculiar
ities should not be pressed. The " common
faith" will be, with the true friends of the
-cause, the foundation of union.
-.Alittle work 'on our , table, by Rev:M.
BROWN, presents some .good thbughts
`on the subject, before is. The tr.'B'. Chris
tian Commission are nobly engaged, and
