: The Bishop Of Poitiers, Monsigneur Pie, who
has already made himself notorious by comparisons
between the Emperor and sundry famous perscnaSes
of Biblical history, has become regular laughing
stock. About this time last year, the III. Rev Pre-
late celebrated with all the pomps OF the Church
funeral service in honor of Pontifcal Zouaye, one
Gisque, who had been enlisted by himself, and who
was described as having fallen glorlousy at Castei
dardo. The Rt. Rev. Prelate delivered glowing
funeral orson Oh the young hero described bin as
celebrated for bis pey for his virtues, and his eOnr
age and besought for him the prayers Of bis eongre
cation in terms 70 touching to draw tears from the
obdurate. Some few months afterward, however,
the heroic Gisque slain at Castefdardo for The de-
tense Of the faitb made bis appearance in bis nase
town, in the vicinity Of Poiters and soon ionnd bis
way into Jail. A few days ago, lie was brought to
trial for swindng, in the Court Of Aesize, within
sight OF the cathedral where bis virtues had been 80
eloquently celebrated by the Bishop. 1t turned out
that the Prelate bad been imposed upon; that the
defunct recruit whose virtues he had cxtolled bad
never been at Castelfdardo at all; that he had him.
sef written the letter announcing his glorious bul
uutimely end to the Bishop; and moreover, that be
,yas mere swindler. The heroic Zouaye was sen
,eneed to l5 months imprisonment.

should there be hesitation or doubt in the
premises Is not our duty to our country

Leaders of the American People we tell

She is eager for Cotton and Markets; she will
force them if she despairs Of soon obtaining
them by fair means. Our sole choice lies be.
tween a speedy triumph and an inglorous and
fatal defeat. 1t is sheer ab,urdity to talk OF
this day of making war on any Great Power
should that Power acknowledge the indepen-
dence of the Confederates; it is barking OF
those who are aware that We are temporarily
out of teeth. We must crush the rebellion
soon, or the COtton-spinning nations cM ac-

DANGER IN DELAY.

The sanitary condition Of Washington il
doubtless one of the greatest danger, and one
which il chargeable to the indifference and the
chronic want of foresight OF the medical au'
thorties. 1t is iDdispulably true that the at
mosphero sf that city, even la ito normal con-
dition, is specially typhoid--readily generating
feyeIs Of that particular class. And tae pres
ent cold and damp weather, which, as yet, has
been unaccompaned by frost in that vicinity,
learfuIly increases this atmospheric tendercy.
Typhns fever is at present the all-prevailing
disease--not only in the hospitals and camps,
but in the houses Of pri'sse families; in Wash
ington as well rs Georgetown. Almost the
slightest infammoioTy complaint, especially such
a. results from catching cold, runs into ty-
phoid fever--not at first epidemic, but Liable
seon to become 90, If energetic and stringent
MEASURES are nos adopted at once and on
scale commensurate with the prevalence Of the
direase. Physicians, however, Of long standing
and repute in Washington appear to dread
prescribing in the cases referred to from
conviction that the apparently insignificant
compsint msy really become an epidemic.
Tbe rircipal aggravatipg circumstances which
tend 10 ,lcyease the unhealthiness Of the capital
are that the city is without special Health
Officer, and that the venerable and punctuious
Army Medical Board is too much subject
to lie influence of red tape and circum!o-
cution to attend to the dangers accumu-
latng daily, hourly and on all sides. Streets,
alleys, cutters are reeking with accumu'
laions of putre.cent filth, Ia constant
state Of fermentation, filling the AIR far and
vide with stencil and miasma. Considerable
mortality prevails among the vast number OF
horses and mules collected for the public ser
vice, apd some of the carcasses remain unin.
tered for days; or, il they are inferred, at
minimum depth, and in low, undrained ground
almost within the city or the subarbs; and OF
times one can see protrudipg frem the soil the
feet of the half-buried animals.
That the wagon-yards ought to be regularly
aud thoroughly cleaned is surely self-evidcnti
but under the present arrangements, when thi'
10 done, the oaal is so disposed as to in
crease the insalubrity Of tho atmosphere. An'
surely hospitals ought to be under such polic'
and sanitary regulations @ to prevent thei
