RICHMOND, June 25.-Bshop Leondas Polk of
the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana has been ap
pointed a Ma General of the Provisional Army,
to command the Military Department of the Red
and Mississippi rivers.
The above announcement will not surprise those
who are familiar with the antecedents of the re-
spected Bishop of Louisiana. In early life he re-
ceived a thorough military education at West
Point, and graduated with distinction at that nsti.
tuition. Besides this the Bishop comes of patriotic
descent, his ancestors having been among the fore
most and bravest in defence of our rights and lib
critics against foreign foe.
That he should now cast off the surplice to enter
the field in defence of the South, is evidence at
once of his religion and his patriotism. No more
holy cause ever challenged the support of the
Christian than that which has induced this vener
able man of God to draw his sword. The mission
of the Church is peace; but when it happens, as il
has now happened, that peace can only be bough
with war, it becomes act of high religious duty
that the Christian man should be found in the from
rank of battle.
Let the North understand from this circumstauc,
the spirit that animates our people. Here is ven
cradle preate of the Church descending from th
sacred desk, and exposing himself to the perils 0
the battle field in behalf of his country. The falls
teachers of the Gospel in the North, who have don
more than all others to bring about this unnatura
war, skulk from the post of danger when the batl
RACES. What a contrast, when we see the highes
dignitary of one of the leading Christian demon
nations of Louisiana lay aside his ecciesiasc robe
to aid, with his presence, and his example, and hi
military knowledge, cause less sacred only tina
thatato which his life has heretofore been ded
.scated

} From our Mississippi exchanges per yesterdays
mail we extract the following:
The Brandon Republican Of the 9th has as fol
lows upon the subject of weather and crops:
Last Monday evening we were favored with a
nice shower. On the day before in other parts of
the county there was good rain. Crops are do
ing well generally, and promise an abundant har-
vest.
We learn from the Wood7e (Tknson coun-
ty) Republican Of the 29th, that two companies
have left that county for the seat of war, viz:
The jeff Davis Guards LOG men; and the Hurri-
cane Rifles, 90 men.
The same paper says as follows:
The Board of Police for the equipping and uni
forming OF the several companies, contributed
$1,000 out of the county fund : and besides this
$500 for the relief Of the wives and children left
| at home. The individual contributions of the
citizens OF our county, to assist ID equpping, etc,
will not fell short of $4,000 Besides this, each
| company encamped here several weeks prior to
their departure, and were furnished by our liberal
planters, during the time, with all their eatabes.
The Lexington Advertiser of the 2Sth ult. says:
| HOG CHoLERA.-This disease, we learn, prevails
| to some extent in various portions of the county,
and battles, in great measure, most of the rene
dies which have been tried.
We were shown a cotton-stalk, from the panta-
ton of Mr.. J. H. Bunch. which measures some
three and half four feet in height and contains
| i've Well-deVelOped Dolls and three blooms. e
| learn that there IS large quantity equally as well
developed This is doing well; beat it who can!
MISSISSIPPI CtNNoN.-The Aberdeen Conserva.
tive of the I'D ult. has the following regarding
cannon cast in that town:
The cannon which was cast at Beckett & Tin
| dal's foundry, by Mr.. Hamilton Hays, underwent
on last Thursday, the usual test. We are proud tC
| say it complete success. We were moi
present at the firing but are told by persons who
were there, and who are capable OF Judging, that
it is equal to any piece of its size in either the
| Confederate or Federal army. Mr. Hays is now
prepared to put cannons out in any quantity, Al
short notice. and Messrs. Freeman, Brannin & Co.
who made the carriage for this one and presented
it to the city, are ready and prepared to build car
riages with as great speed as MI Hays can make
them.
The AIagnolan, published in Magnolia, Pike
county, notices the fallo plentiful showers through
out that county during the week ending on Satur
day last.

The steamer FreebOrn proceeded to Point Ma
thias. where she landed men and sand bags. The
men proceeded to throw up braaqtwOrks, when,
to their astoniahment, party OF SOu'herners ap-
peared. The breastwoTkers took to the water,
leaving the Southerners il full occupation of the
breastworks.
Capt. Ward of the Freehorn, while firing gun
to protect the swimmers, was shot i'll the breast
and killed on the spot.
The above which appeared in the telegraphic
column of the city papers of Saturday, reminds US
of q circumstance which happened about fifteen
years ago at Cincinnati. A slave had escaped
from the Kentucky side and was secrcted in Gin
cinnati. His owner, ascertaining his whereabouts
took two three friends, went quietly to the
place i'll a hack, and, placing the boy in it, drove
doYn to the ferry. 1t 50 happened that they had
to wait some minutes for the ferry boat, during
which time some AbotonstS heard of the cir.
culnstance and gathered around for the purpose OF
q rescue. The hack was driven upon the ferry
boat, followed by 4 mob eager to seize the boy
from his owner. The Captain Of the boat, de
cided Southern man, had the ropes cut, and the
boat swung out into the river, with about dozer
Aboltionists on board. On the Kentucky side
were about thousand men watching the affair
and waiting the ,denouement. The Abolitionists
fearful of the reception they would meet with i
they were carried over the river, became alarmed
'and pitched oberboard, one after another, swim
ming to the shore. A gentleman who witnessed i
said it reminded him of parcel Of terrapins jump
