CONFEDERATE CoTroN AGEScr.-David
Block, Esq, of this place. has been appointed
by the Government, agent for the purchase of
cotton, and to receive the subscriptions of cot
ton loaned to the Confederacy. We recon-
mend 70 our citizens that they freely Cooper
ate with the government in this matter. 1t is
equally q matter of interest and patriotism.
The planter will receive pay for his cotton in
funds which will be available for ordinary pur-
poses. If he should keep it, it may lie
upon his hands for some time yet as dea cap
ital. The government, by hypothecating the
cotton, will be enabled to purchase munitions
Of war, and fit out armed vessels. BY this
means, taken in connection with the fact that
q large amount of cotton will be owned by
foreign citizens, the blockade may be raised,
and commerce revived.

Correspondence between Gen. Holmes and
Gen. Carr.
Capture Of n Rebel Lieut.. Colonel
Serenade to General Fremont.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 21.
Dispatches received at headquarters, from
Helena, Ark, to the 18th inst, report all quiet,
and the Notifications nearly completed.
The rebel Gen. Holmes had sent TO General
Carr, under flag of truce, a communication
falsely assuming that the U. S. government or
its generals had been engaged in arming ne
groes in Arkansas, to which course General
Holmes entered an emphatic protest. General
Carr promptly responded, telling him that
neither the government nor its agents had
armed negroes on the contrary the federal
troops have been employed in dsarming the
negroes, and while so employed were attacked
and portion of them captured by guerillas.
Gen. Carr adds: Whatever may be the policy
of my commanding officer and the govern
ment, shall cheeriully follow it out.
In skirmish on the llth, twelve miles west
of Helena, the national forces captured the
Lieut.. Col. of the 21st Texas regiment and II
privates. The eneny's furtherloss is unknown.
Maj. Rector of the 4th Iowa, was taken
prisoner, and we had 4 killed, wounded and
IA missing.
The friends of Gen. Fremont last night well
coined his return to this city, in grand sere-
made From four to five thousand people were
present and the reception was in every respect
cordial and enthusiastic. In response TO re-
peated calls, the General made a few remarks,
referring to his former visit to this city, stating
that the principal object of his visit now was
to be present at the trial of friend and fellow
soldier, Gen. Mckinstry, believing as he did
that the assaults upon him were made solely
because he felt it an honorable duty to stand
by the side of his chief

Capture Of Federal Mail Matter.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 21, 11.30 p. NJ.
Gen. JEFF. c. Davis, who killed Gen. Nelson,
has been released from arrest and ordered to
report for duty at Cincinnati, and left here this
evening.
Gen. Dumont passed through here this eve
ming en- route for Indianapolis.
One hundred and fifty rebel prisoners from
Frankfort and Lexington, and 300 parolled
Federal prisoners from Cox's Creek have ar
rived here. They lett at 3 o'clock Monday
morning. and up to 2 o'clock this afternoon
had nothing to eat, Morgan having destroyed
all the captured provisions that he could not
carry away. Morgan's men changed clothes
with many of our prisoners. This band are
said now to be clothed in Federal uniforms
Doubtful rumors say that the bridges over
Rolling Fork and Bacon Greek have been de-
stroyed by the rebels.
Eight Commissioners sent by the Chicago
Sanitary Commission, who were captured near
Cox's Creek, have arrived here. Morgan's
men took all their supplies
On Monday morning the rebels at Cox's
Creek captured Capt. I. b. Servis, Postmaster
of Gen. Woods division, with all his mail, con-
tanning several thousand letters. They took
ont the money therein and destroyed the let
ters.
Lieuts Neif, 4th Ohio cavalry, and Choate,
9TH Ohio cavalry, have arrived en- route north
ward. They were captured near Bardstown,
on Monday, and parolled, while proceeding to
join their respective regiments, after having
been out on Government service.
Lieut.. Choate had two commissions from
Gov. Todd for transmission, one of which was
for Col. Anderson, 9th Ohio infantry, on the
back of which Morgan endorsed, Approved

These gentlemen say that Morgan's men en-
tered Elizabethtown on Monday, and broke
open the Post office, and were then driven out
by two Federal regiments. His force is at
Lebanon.

The Episcopal Church SET Right.

The General Convention of the Episcopal
Church, after a long debate. adopted the reso-
lutions referring to the rebellion, and reported
by the committee of nine. The vote was TAX
en- by doceses, the clerical vote being, yeas, 13,
nays, Z; the lay vote, yeas IL, nays, A.
An exchange says great efforts seem to have
been made to prevent the passage of the reso-
lutions. Other sets of resolutions, presented
by men known to sympathze with the Rebels,
were voted down, and others still, of strong
er character, shared the same fate. Judge
Chambers, of Maryland, and four others, wish
ed to have protest against the resolutions re-
corded, but failed in the attempt
The Pastoral letter of the Bishops refers to
the change in the condition of the Church and
the country, and thus refers to the cause:
"That cause is all concentrated in stupen-
dous rebellion against the organic law and the
constitutional Government of the country, for
the dismemberment of our National Union, un-
der which, confessedly, all parts of the land
have signaly prospered and been blessed"
The following sentence from the Pastoral
Letter doubtless refers to Maj. Gen. Bishop
Polk, who has laid aside the sword of the spir-
it for more carnal weapon:
When the ordained ministers of the Gospel
of Christ whose mission is so emphatically one
Of peace and good will, of tenderness and con-
ISOLATION, do SO depart from their sacred calling
as to take the sword, and engage in the fierce
and bloody conflicts of war-when in so doing
they are fighting authorities which, as the pow
ers that be, the Scriptures declare are ordained
of God, so that in resisting them they are re-
sisting God-when, especially, one comes out
from the exalted spiritual duties of an overseer
of the flock of Christ, to exercise high COM
mandin such awful work--we cannot ourselves
overseers of the same flock, consistently with
duty to his Church, ministry, and people, re-
frain from placing on such examples our strong

lasted two hours. There were 100000 persons
present, and at least 2000 were engaged in the

A RUsH.-The notice that the Collector of
this port would, at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, distribute an amount of the postal cur

House. The entries and stairway were packed
with human beings, each anxious to obtain
entrance. police force, stationed at the
door, kept the crowd outside. They were ad-
mtted rs fast as the packages could be deliv-
cred at two places Of delivery. In fifteen
minutes the Collector had paid out all that he
had reserved for that purpose, the balance
having been furnished the banks. Some per-
