m Lane, who

are assuming by
is styled a General, and is a senator in Congress,
will place himself at the head of a band of " jay-
hawkers,' and lay waste the four border counties of
Missouri,where Quantrell is supposed to h ave Bough t
his refuge. The deeds of murder and lawless bret-
-1 tality of which Jim Lane boasted himself the authoz
at public meeting the other day, qualify him as a.
ruiliate of no better s: amp than the very Quantrell
against whom he is at to march. Between Mis-
souri busiivehackers and Kansas jawhawkers, or
Red Legs, there is not mue:h to choose. The mere
report of Lane's intended enaset has been sufficient
to spread dismay and conste.eration into those un-
fortunate Missouri counties, aetaq the whole popula•
time is fast migrating eastward, exposed to the
direst sufferings, but only anal ws to esoape im-
pending destruction. General Seitelefield, who is
in command in these quarters, hag , issued strict
orders both to the Missouri and the Kansas militia
on no account to overstep the borders. His orders,
however, are hardly likely to be respected by Lane,
who accused him of imbecility, and moved resolu-
tions for his removal. It seems, indeed, that there
are plans at Washington for sending Genera 1 }lnn.
ter into Scholefield's place. The day appointed for
Jim Lane's murderous expedition is the 9th inst.
There seems to be no little animosity among peeli-
tical parties in Kentucky. "Taking the who,'e
State together," we are told, " they may be classed
as follows :—Of those who support the Administra•
tion and its policy, say one-fifth; of those who are•
loyal to the Union, as it was formerly, with slavery,.
say three-tenths ; of those who were in favour of
secession, and are at heart with the South, three-,
tenths. There are all shades of political intensity,,
ranging from the compensatory emancipationist to-
the uncompromising slave-advocating fire-eater.
About equal numbers have gone to bear arms North
and South, perhaps 40,009 to each side. Entire
unanimity does not exist among the less passionate
and prejudiced who remain. Many private feuds,
brawls, and even open violence, are of continued
occurrence. The wealth, the breeding, and the re-
gard for reputation, keep many from open strife,
but there are many muttered threats of vengeance
dire. The presence of the national troops has the
effect of suppressing at least one portion of the mal-
contents. When the war is over and the army is
withdrawn, it will be impossible for the former
inhabitants to live peaceably together again. The
Unionists, with the bayonets at their back, have
tyrannized over their rebel neighbours, all of which
they assert is to be repaid with interest. The for-
tune of arms, however, will doubtless decide the
fate of Kentucky, as of the rest of the South. The
disloyal will have to leave the State, or be contented
to remain quiet. Very many of them have left,
placing their land and property in the hands of
women and assignees. Some of them are at the
North, in Canada, or Europe. Others at the South.
Homefarms are going to decay. Stock has been
driven off across the Ohio. Agriculture is suffering
a blight. There is a very general desire for peace."
Such are some of the results of this great civil war,
as they begin to develope themselves. No wonder
many secretly long for peace, even among those who
are most loudly clamouring for " continuation of the
war to the bitter end."

THANKSGIVING FOR THE HARVEST.

The Bishop of Rochester has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Archdeacons of Essex, Colches-
ter, and Rochester with St. Albans, in his
lordship's diocese

" Danbury Palace, Sept, 19, 1363,

"My dear Archdeacon,—lt has been generally expected
that the great and good harvest which have been permitted
to gather in would have been followed by a Royal command
for the use of an appropriate form of thanksgiving through-
out the churches. The adverse weatner which has embar-
rassed our agriculturists in many places has, I presume,
rendered such a general procedure unsuitable. If it be so,
a deeper gratitude becomes us, because we have been more
favoured than our fellow-countrymen in other parts. I era
unwilling to pass by the special mercy we have received,
though an appeal from me on the subject is scarcely needed.
seeing that the voice of thanksgiving has been heard already
in so many churches of the diocese. A local paper, now be-
fore me, has a whole page full of these proceedings. In such
reports I witness with unfeigned pleasure the result of the
conferences between the laity and clergy of 1861, when har-
vest-homes were considered (amongst other matters), and it
was agreed to promote them to the extent of our power. The
kindly spirit which is generated by these gatherings, and the
cordial sympathy which is stirred up afresh between all
classes by the parish harvest-home, is very cheering. I de-
sire to express, through you, my thanks to the laity and
clergy for what has been done in this way; and I would ask
you to invite any one who have not yet adopted a similar
course to make some public acknowledgment forthwith in
their churches of the mercy of God, to preach on the occa-
sion (whether on the Lord's day or a week day they will
decide best), and to command a thank offering in testimony
of what is felt. I do not desire to specify any particular
appropriation of the collection or effertory. Already with
the concurrence of the clergy, and partly at their own sug-
gestion, I have asked them, as you know, to promote an-
nually in their churches a spring and an autumn collection
for a home and a foreign object. The result of that measure
has been very gratifying. lam very sensible of the kind
exertions which have given much success to the scheme.
Moreover, the diocesan societies and the parent societies in
London taw acknowledged these services on the part of the
clergy in most marked and cordial terms. I leave it then to
my brethren individually to determine with their parishion-
ers how the gatherings shall be appropriated, and will only
add (as a suggestion) that-1. The public hospital in each
of the three counties of the diocese; 2. The Eastern Coun-
ties Asylum for Idiots and Imbeciles at Colchester ; and 2.
The Female Refuges at Rochester, Chatham. Chelmsford
(in connexion with the gaol), and similar institutions in our
other large towns, commend themselves strongly to my re-
gard as appropriate receptacles for the charity of the diocese
at the present time. Beseeching Almighty God, for His Son'a
sake, to shed abroad amongst us a lively spirit of thankful-
ness for His forbearance and love, and to awaken all to live
and work for His glory while their day yet last, I remain,
my dear Archdeacon, your affectionate brother and friend,
J. C. ROCUESTER,"

MR. KINGLAHE'S ADMISSION OF HIS OWN
ERRORS I—ln a preface to the 4th edition of his " History
of the Crimean War," he says :—" Well, but what impres-
sion has public criticism made upon the rest of the book ?
What (properly) historical errors have owed their correc-
tion to the vigilance of the periodical press I' They arc as
follows Garan' should be ' Gagarin ;' Captain Schane
should be Captain Schaw ;" Luxmore' should be Lux-
moore ;" Bisset' should be Bissett ;" Woolcombe' should

INJURIOUS ACTION OF LEAD PIPES ON WATER.
The importance of discovering a really efficient
means of preventing the injurious action of lead pipes on
water is universally acknowledged, and the experiments of
of Dr. Crace-Calvert have proved beyond question that no
proposition hitherto brought forward has been calculated to
remedy the evil complained of. A discovery, however, has
now been made, through which the water supplied by leaden
pipes may be obtained by the consumer as pure as from the
original source. Dr. H. Schwartz, of Breslau, has disco-
vered a means by which the portion of the lead forming the
interior surface of the pipe may be converted into an in-
soluble sulphide; the natural consequence being that the
water passing through will be as free from contamination
as if glass were used. The means by which Dr. Schwartz
effects this conversion are extremely simple. Ho simply
passes a strong solution of the sulphide of an alkali through
the pipe to be acted upon, and the process is completed.
This solution, which is either a sulphide of potassium or of
sodium, is used at a temperature of about 212 deg. Fab.,
and is allowed to act upon the metal for from 10 to 15
minutes. It is stated that, in practice, the boiling solution
of caustic soda and sulphur is found to answer every pur-
pose.—/Ltining Journal.

[ADVERTISEMENT]. - Holloway's Fills, Vigorous
Health.—All diseases affecting the nervous system arise
frail impurities of the blood or vitiated secretions. Hollo-
way's pills are invaluable for removing all poisonous ele-
meats from the body, and are famed for curing indigestion,
flatulency and costiveness, as well as palpitation, pain in
the side, and other morbid feelings. The neuralgic pains at-
tendant on the nervous class of diseases soon yield to these
purifying pills; the sensations of anxiety and alarm daily
diminish under their use ; sound sleep supersedes n!ghts
of watching, and calm repose displaces hideous dreams.
Holloway's pills are the best correctives of tainted breath
and disagreeable tastes in the mouth, they soon clean the
furred tongtr, angtirnt the srpetite, and invJgorate both
body and mind,
