CORRESPONDENCE OF THE WHEELING sTrrtporscER.


portance has occurred.
The anniversary of the battle of North Point has
come, been appropriately celebrated, and passed
off again with the great rotary of time 1t is al
ways matter of interest, on this occasion, to see
the Old Defenders parade. They look weather
beaten and grave, unmistakeable evidence that
the Arbiter, Time, has pressed upon them with a
heavy hand. Their number is gradually dwin-
ding away, and like old wine, they become more
valuable and precious by age. A few more years,
and the last of them, like the last signer OF the
Declaration of Independence, will be carried to
his long home with solemn and imposing oose-
ouies 1t would seem that their hearts grow
Young and swell with renewed patriotism, as on
these occasions, they celebrate and recount the
deeds Of yore. A more venerable looking band OF
patriots is no where to be found than these time
honored patriots, as they march forth under the
same bullet-riven and tattered old flag which led
them TO victory on the plains of North Point
nearly half century ago.
The regular monthly meeting of the Directors oil
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company took
place to-day, having been deferred, to report the
business and affairs of the Road for August. The
returns show an increase of nearly $4,000 over
the month of July in receipts, of which upwards
of $4,000 comes from the main stem. About
50 900 on the increase of passengers and $4,000
increase on fIeight The increase of total receipts
over August 1852, is s9s,825 90.
most gratifying result is seen in this report
and prospects for the future decidedly cheering.
The Road is bound to tell for itself.
Our farmers have almost run wild upon the sub
iect of guano. The article (Peruvian) is now
VERY scalce and in extraordinary demand 1t is
with great difficulty that one half the applicants
can be accommodated. The agency where it is
sold is completely overrun. Large premiums are
Offered TO secure lots. 1t is astons lg to see the
use made of this manure by our farmers. 1t sells
at SAG per ton, and it seems to me 100000 tons
would not meet the present demand. No farmer
will do without it if by any means he can pro-
cure supply. The Patagonian, Mexican and
African Guano are also in active request, but the
supply very light.
Arnold's new Olympic Theatre at the corner OF
Baltimore and Charles streets, has been opened
with great success. tbs decidedly an unique al
fair and promises well for the future.
The Maryland Agricultural and Cattle Show,
and the Mechanics Fair, open the last of this and
beginning of next month. There will be superb
display at both these exhibitions. Great emula-
tion exists among the curious asprans for prizes,
and several of the surrounding States promise lib
erel contributions. The advantage of these In
stitutions is so palpable that cannot but recon-
mend similar ones to every State in the Union.
The weather is pleasant, City healthy, and bu-
siness very active. Large sales of breadstufiS
have been making for export materially easing
the money market.
The advices by the steamers Franklin and Nj
agara, o-day, are unfavoraLe to flour and grain
Prices slightly depressed. Holders of flour were
firm at S6,25 in the morning, but subsequently solo
under the news at 6,l24.
Grain / to cents lower. Coffee generally held
at IL cents for Rio. Whisky 81 cents IN bbls
Money easier. Stocks dull. J. w.
BIsuoP DoANE's DEFENCE.-The New York
Express publishes tue Protest of the New jersey
Diocesan Convention, which was submitted Il
the Court of Bishops at Camden, on Wednesday
embodying in substance the Defence OF Bishop
Doane or rather Protest against this renewed
presentment. This Protest is very emphatic ant
pungent throughout. After repeating the 1eSolu
tons adopted by the Convention of the Diocese
the Committee seek to impress upon the angus
body beTore whom their DioceSlon IS arralgneC
the obyiousness of the only concluSionat which
in view of the array of facts submitted, and il
common fairness, they think the Bishops must ar
rive-namely, dismissal of the presentment, on
the ground that it embodieS but REPETITION of the
old charges that had been already disposed Of
The Committee say they eco not seek to avoid q
trial. 'The Bishop they add, 'h0s been tried he
has walked i'll and out of an ordeal that few men
could bear;' tried and found in public estimation
guiltless of the charger 'tried by his Diocese;
tried by the honorable men, trustees and propri-
etors of the beneficent and religious institutions
he has reared tried by yourselves (tEe Bishops)
tried by private seatiment, and tried, lastly by
the Providence of God, which has thrown into his
way more opportunity of blessing than belore.'-
The Committee also demandwhy, Right Reverend
Fathers, why should the sieepleSs enmity a
mere handful of men be suffered thus to go on and
disturb the Diocese?' 'He enmity which begnn
in wounded vanity and mortified ambition
The remonStrance is signed by Samuel L. South
ard, E. B D. Ogden, James A. Williams, J. w.
Miller, Harry Finch, D. B. Ryall, Charles w.
Rankin, and concludes as follows:
'Right Reverend Dathers! In the name of ma
ny people of the Church, whose shepherds you
now are; in the name of diocese, tillunSubject-
ed, in the name of Truth and Justice, and of can
on law, and in that mightier name of Christian
charity-we protest against your further agitation
of this matter, your further hearing of these enc
mics of peace-your opposing of Tres adiudicdtG.
The truth has been made manifest by more than
one investigation. The claim of justice has
been answered, although he has not been con-
demned-and patience has had cher perfect woTkH
'Fathers-wth great respect and with great con-
dence we leave you.
'Fathers-The eye of God is on us still, the eye
of Him to whom we have to answer OF the last!
When we appealed to Him before, He blessed us,
with wise deciSion-and by the grateful offices
of one whom we yet love!
