The annual Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, i'll Virginia, was to meet
this wear in Alexandria. But, owing to the
exposed position of that city, which made
such IL meeting impractcable, the Bishop OF
the Diocese transferred it to Richmond, a.
the only place where it was likely quorum
could be collected under the present clrcum-
stances.
Fears we're entertained, even then, that
the Convention would prove failure. But
we ore glad 70 learn that goodiy number
and the very best men of the Diocese, were
convened. There we're present on the occa-
sion, besides the two Bishops Of Virginia,
Meade and Johns, nearly 10 clergymen resi-
dent in the Diocese, and from 20 10 30 lay
delegates, besides many strangers, among
whom we noticed especially Bishop Akin
son, Of North Carolina.
The Convention met on Wednesday morn
ing, May Is, at st. Paul's Church, and WAS
opened with sermon by Bishop Meade,
Bishop Johns and Atkinson reading the SER
vice. The sermon was preached on the
Bishops 50th anniversary us minister, and
contained n review OF the history OF the Eps-
copal Church in Virginia, and especially rs
progress within the last so years. 1t was
exceedingly interesting and dignfed. and
the allusirus OF the Bishop to himself and
his own reoolIectians, experiences aud pros
poets as minister, were moss touching,
and moved many to tears The sermon, we
understand, will appear in print in few
DAYS accompanied by Il lew notes and ex-
tract from the bishops report, referring to
the present State OF the country.
The feeling Of the Convention was very
strong, hui they acted with perfect calm
ness, and in the spirit Of m elevated piety,
seemed fearlessly and joyfully to commit
themselves, their beloved State and sacred
cause into the hunds Of Almighty God.
After passing through the regular bus:-
ness OF the Annual Convention, they ad-
journed on Thursday evening at O'Clock.

PATIENCE.

History is full Of lessons Of patience
Here are some "reminiscences reproduced
from the Journal des Debates, leading
Parisisn paper, which may be probably re-
called by such of our countrymen as are
confessing in quernlous tones to feeling Of
impatience at the delay which attends our
military operations on the Potomac:
"The Americans began the war with
England in 1872 in a deplorable way
The first army which they put into the field
made disgraceful capitulation. But they
ended it in january, 1915, by q magnif-
cient triumph, the victory Of New Orleans
It vas thus that Peter the Great, after de-
feat upon defeat, finally succeeded, at Pull
towa, in destroying his conquerers, the
Swedes. 1t was thus that the soldiers of
the French Revolution, who were very poor
soldiers at the outset, became by expert
ence the heroes of Fleurus, of Rivoli, of
the Pyramids and of Zurich. Nor can we
see any reason why it should no, be thus
also with the North Americans in the war
of which the year 1861 has seen the COM
meucement."

b8- The New York Journal of Com
n'eree publishes an extract from private
letter from London to an eminent merchant
which reads as follows:
~ think, however, the tide is on the
point of turning here, as it appears to have
turned with you, and thata little more news
of the hopeful the last few mails have
brought, will render the British public
rather ashamed of its fagrant immortality
in suddenly shutting its eyes to principles
it has been so loudly opening it's mouth
about for the preceding half century. The
stand the North has made for principle and
against interest, in this terrible crisis,
would forever purge the American name of
the odium about sordidness and love of the
almighty dollar The names Of the actors
in this great drama may be homely, and Of
the names commonplace, and several of the
may supply material for the CO. |
temporary scofer; but the msgnanimi.y, |
the self-saeri6ce, the pure citizenship Of the |
action itself, now in course of development, |
may challenge comparison with any in
classic history, and hereafter will be ranked
With the very noblest."

4 Novel Fleet.

The Naval Department has sent in the
wake of the great fleet which opened the
south Carolina oyster, and is now. prob
oily, penetrated to the meat of the Georoi,
srustacea, a most novel armament for ocean
warfare. Ii consists OF thirty vessels. some
Of which are the largest sized vhalers all
ioaded with rock. It is not intended to
hurl these missiles at the rebels, but ,hey
are sent down with the purpose of assisting
such cities as Charleston and Savanna to
commercial greatness by blocking up their
harbOrs, which will save those towns from
the terrors of a marine attack. and at the
same time do away with all Inducements
to the prosecution of the Vulgar pursuits of
trade. The born gcatlemea-the last of
such generation-can congrega,e at these
points, and enjoy their much loved life of
repined leisure, while the hard 6sted clod
hoppers from the land of baked beans and
pumpkin pies, and liberty, can open such
glorious marts as Port Royal, and do the
commerce for the sunny regions Of cane,
cotton and rice. @

Beaurogard's Resignation.

1t is now definitely ascertained in mill
tary circles at Washington, that Beauregard
recently rendered his resignation as Gen.
eral in the rebsl army, in consequence of
his difference with jeff Davis, as TO the
conduct of the war. Violent parties have
sprung up among the Confederates on this
question, Beauregagd representing the of
iensive war party, who believe in invading
the. North and win ,oriug in Baltimore.
Philadelphia, and New York, and Jeff
Davis representing the defensive war party.
who trust to time and patient defense of
their own soil to give them independence.
The Beauregard party complain that the
policy Of Davis has led to the invasion Of
South Carolina, and will fll the Cotton
@tates with the horrors of war. and end in
heir destruction; and it is believed that
tiavls has s''ncnmbed to the war palicy to
plevent South Carolina and Georgia from
,eesding from the rebel States. General
heauregard was induced to Withdraw his
-esignaiion.

lieve that while he Is in the service he will
be true soldier, and devote himself solely
to military purposes. We like the appoint.

in making it. We have confidence that our

HOME DANGER,

We called attention, yesterday, to the ex-
posed condition of our river border. One
of the dangers predicted then has since
happened. The river is bridged with ice.
Tonight marauding band from Missouri
may dash into this city while We are asleep
in fanc;ed security, burn fifty buildings, de-
stroy half million dollars worth of prop
erty and escaping back into Missouri. scat
ter among the jungles on the opposite side,
secure and out Of harms way, from any
force that may pursue. We don't say that
this will happen, but the probabilities are
that it may happen before the river opens.
We must remember that we are in a state
of war, and what is worse, civil war. In
such times, the borders always suffer most
The destruction of I.eavenworth would off
set Osceola. This is talked of on the other
side. What is to hinder band of bold,
resolute men, from dashing over here at
midnight, and setting fire to the business
portion of the city. We have no guards
out at night; no pickets to give timely
warning. We have the aiders and abettors
of rebellion in our midst, many of them
having no interest whatever with u.s. Half
an hours work in well concerted plan, on
a favorable night, and amid the terrors of
such scene, might lay the larger portion
of the city in ruins.
The military authorities are using great
exertions to meet the emergency but it
must be borne in mind that at present they
have very small force with which TO guard
our extended border.
In view of these facts, our citizens should
take immediate steps towards patrol force
or system of picket guards, by which every
avenue of approach may be thoroughly
guarded, and timely warning given of any
hostile demonstration. And thus co-opera
ting with the forces at the Fort, we will be
perfectly secure; otherwise the danger is
