copal church, "a nativ of Rhode Island
and formerly professor III the Episco-
pal Theological Seminary of Virginia

time since ntiiciated nj Christ Church

by the officer in command as Il seces-
sion discourse and he was accordingly
inearcerated in the Washington Jail.
Being required by the secretary of
State to produce his sermon. he sent

the margin that it was first preached
twelve years ago! The Secretary
read it carefully over, and pronoun-
ced it good sund Christian doctrine,

\ gentleman in this city, who has
kept us accurate an account as pos
siblc, estimates that of t'lirtt three
battles and more important skirlnish-
rs since the war began, the Union
men have been victorious in twenty
two and the rebels in FIVE, while in
the remaining six neither party can
claim victory. The number of pris-
oners taken by the Unionists is about
5000, and by the rebels not quite
half so many. OF the killed, it is i'm
possible to obtain any thing like ac-
curate knowledge Of the losses of the
rebels. The Union loss is something
over 1000, aud the rebel loss is sup
posed ia he more than twice that
number.

D If the Yankees are to be be-
lieved (as even the father oflies some
times INDUCES in a slight modicun of
that article,) the Southern soldier is
the most martial race that ever ex-
listed. Before the war Mr.. Hickman,
who set himself up as great militia
ry authority, held, in the House of
Representatives, that the eighteen
million Of Yankees could speedily
overwhelm the eight millions of
whites in the South. Now, it is well
known, that while the North has all
her men and resources enlisted
against US, on The other hand, Della
ware, Maryland and kentucky, as
States, have not been i'll the fight at
all, and Missouri only in the last
four weeks. Nor is this the only
deduction to be mndc for according
to Iincoln's voracious statement, the
Union party in the North is numeri-
cally the largest, and the present
war is waged by minority who have
accidentally or surreptitiously OBJ
tanned power.-Examincr. ....
