WAR RUMoRs FROM WAsHINGroS.


The correspondent Of the Baltimor.

There is much interest in Washington
to hear the response of the country to

lIstment will be too slow TO meet tie

overwhelming advance upon the REBEL,

men would be the proper action a. the

but one finishing blow.

A SHARP HIT.-At the collation. given
by the Unitarians of Brooklyn to their
friends from abroad, during the late Con-
vention, Rev. DR.. Ellis Of Charlestown,
in a speech, referred in general terms of
approval to DR.. Bellows address, but
took exceptions to his eulogy of Southern
character, on the ground that no amount
of grace or polish could blot out the
ugly fact Of their wholesale perjury. He
was sick of the word chivalry IA word
which used to be synonymous with hon

destinations of Washington society, and
the tone of social intercourse there, he
could only say that he could recall three
occasions on which he had Willingly and

A NOVEL WAY OF CURING BREAcHY
HoRsE.--A correspondent of the Iowa
Homestead was riding the other day with
a friend, and observed that one of the
horses had hole in each ear. On in
curing the cause, he learned that it was
to keep the horse from jumping "Why"
said he, "a horse don't jump with his
ears" You are mistaken, replied his
friend; ga horse jumps as much with
his ears as with his feet, and unless he
can have free use of his ears he cannot
jump" He ties the two ears together,
and has no more trouble with the horse.
We give this for what it is worth.

BISHOP HOPKINS AND THE PAToRAL Al

BISHOP HOPKINS AND THE PAToRAL AD-
pREss.-The Burlington Times says;
We find in the Boston Courier the protest of
Bishop Hopkins against the Pastoral Address
which was adopted at the late Episcopal Con-
vention, accompanied by some rather interest
ing disclosures made by the Church Journal
of New York. The Address is from the pen
of Bishop McIlvane of Ohio, and attracted
considerable attention at the time it was read
in the convention, because it took decided
ground against the Rebellion, and did not
mince its words in describing It's Nervousness,
STYLING it a sin" and " a crime agai.st d.
vine and human law"
From the Church Journal we gather these
acts:-Bshop McIlvaine was not originally
charged with this task, but Bishop Hopkins
of Vermont The draft prepared by this New
England prelate ignored the rebellion against
the lawfe government in State and Church
altogether Bishop Hopkins laid his draft
before a committee of the five Bishops, which
had been appointed for this purpose by the
former General Convention, and which con-
sisted. besides himself, of the Bishops of Ken
tucky. Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan. On
motion of the Bishop of Ohio, it was resolved

few days the Bishop of Ohio requested the
Bishop of Vermont to call another meeting. o
the committee. The request was complied
with, and in this second meeting the Bishop o
| Ohio presented another draft, prepared by him
: self, and moved that it be reported to tn
f House of Bishops conformity with that of Bish
s op Hopkins. For this motion voted the Dish
