in this County, under the pastoral care of

on Wednesday, the Goth inst, by Bishop
Johns, under the name of CALGARY Church."
The Bishop was assisted by the Rector of the
Church, the Rev. John Cole, of Culpeper,
Rev. Mr. Bartien, Of Warrenton, and the
Rev. Mr.. Davis, of Orange.
The services were of an exceedingly i'm
pressive and solemn character. and the two
addresses Of the Bishop, one in the forenoon,
on the consecrating of the House of God, and
in the afternoon on the house of prayer,
were well calculated to make an impression
on the large and intelligent audience present,
not soon TO be forgotten, and we feel fully
assured that few in that crowded house but
will remember to their life's end the solemn
setting apart Of Calvary Church to the SER

The agony" at Baltimore is over. We
give the particulars in this mornings Ga

and FITZPATRICK, of Ala, for Vice President.
The State Rights ("Seccders'') Convention
has nominated BREcxINEtDGE for President,

The hostile forces appear to be fully and
firmly arrayed against each other, and the
contest, at present, looks Us if it would be
enin,atcd and severe. The Seceders have
selected, probably, the strongest ticket they
could have chosen; whilst the Douglas men
affirm that 1t is only with Douglas that they
could make the least Roadway.
And thus it is, THAI after long show OF
