In accordance with these instructions, the
War Department issued the subjoined order:
On the day next succeeding the receipt of this

AT an election for Sachems of the Tammany
Society, held at New York. on Monday, the
Barnburners or Softs, otherwise the Freesoil
wing of the democracy, triumphed by large
majority. The Post, the organ of the successful
party, referring to the struggle, says:
Both divisions exerted themselves to their ut
most The hard-shells, or Mingoes, as they are
entitled, in the nomenclature Of the wigwam,
had gingham backed tickets printed, which they
called the Bronson ticket, for the benefit of the
weaker vessels, to whom an appeal from the
custom-house was deemed irresistible; but the
endorsement was soon discovered to be spurious,
and all the gingham and impudence on both
sides of the ticket proved total loss. The Min
goes admit that they were thoroughly beaten,
and that there is no use kicking against the
pricks. Affairs are now expected to 60 on
quietly and harmoniously among the democracy
and fullness to abound in the land
Col. HUGHES MISSION TO EUROPE Colonel
George W. Hughes, of Maryland, the agent of
the Crystal Palace Exhibition, has, so far, been
quite successful in his mission to Europe AT
the last accounts he was about to leave Paris
for Berlin and Vienna. 1t is stated that at the
interview at the Tuileries, he made q most ia
yorable impression upon Louis Napoleon, and q
letter in the Washington Union, received by the
last arrival, says:
the American Crystal Palace exquisite skill
and rare perfection of workmanship-by the
French Government, will likely, upon the de-
Iicately expressed suggestion of Colonel Hughes
to the Emperor, be conveyed to their destins-
ton in first-class steamship Of war, under the
superintendent of "a special commissioner.

THE New DIRK STRIKEs.-ss Good out of evil p
the Journal of Commerce exclaims, in view of
the rapid introduction of females into the daily
offices, to supply the place of striking" jour-
neymen. Females in hotels, we are told, are
also taking the place of burly men servants.
We quote:
THE strikes are doing some good by displac
ing able bodied men, black and white, who have
been feasting at expensive hotels, not only
gratis, but paid at the rate of $15 to S16 a
month, and supplying their place with neat,
tidy, modest young women, who had before been
obliged to depend upon the scanty earnings of
the needle for a subsistence. Some of the Phila-
delphia hotels have already made the change,
and most or all the others, it is said, will soon
follow. We have no doubt they will find that
the strikers have struck out q decided improve
ment for them (the hotel keepers) and their
guests, well as for the girls and the interests
of society"
ECCLESIASTICAL DIFFICULTY. There was quite
a disturbance yesterday at the St. Peters and
st. Paurs Roman Catholic Church, South Bos-
ton, in consequence of change of pastor. 1t
appears that during the past week the Bishop
had some dispute with Father Terence Fitzsim-
mons, who for thirteen years has been pastor Of
the church at South Boston, which resulted in
the suspension of Mr. Fitzsimmons from preach
ing for the present. Rev. P. F. Linden, pastor
of the church in Charlestown, was appointed his
successor, and yesterday morning went over and
entered the pulpit of the deposed clergyman.
He introduced himself by reading letter from
the Bishop, informing the church of the new ap-
pointment. When he came to the sentence, &
have appointed Father P. F. Linden as Priest
over the Church of st. Peter and st. Paul." sew
eral Of the audience shouted, "Non' "Nor'
Others cried, "We don't want you" owe
won't have you" You shall not come here p
A number made a rush for the door, and for
some time the greatest excitement prevailed.
The disturbance was finally quelled and the
services continued.
After Vespers, meeting of the church was
held, and a committee Of twelve was chosen to
confer with the Bishop on the subject of the re-
moval of Mr.. Fitzsimmons The committee i'm
repaired to the city, but could not
find the Bishop at home, and returned without
having any interview. Boston Traveller.
PRoTEsTANTs IN FRANCE The New York
Evening Post says that the number of Prostant
Christians attending their own places of worship
in France is 100000. This differs widely
from lengthy review Of the French census Of
1851, which appears in the Paris correspondence
of the New York Courier and Enquirer. This
latter writer gives the number at 500 900, and
quotes as his authority the Revue des Deux
Mondes." These Protestants consist of Luther
