ToBACco-lTs EARLY History m
ing the introduction of this plant Into use
in Europe, DR.. c. C. S. sends the follow
ing note: . The use of smoke, as a stimu-
lus, is very old. Herodotus tells that the
ancient Scyths, and Pomp. Mela, the Thrac-
idus, threw a Vegetable into the fire, the
smoke of which produced a pleasurahle SEN
sation somewhat like intoxication But Ro-
man Pane, Spanish monk, was the first who
learned ll496, in St. Domingo, to smoke
tobacco. Hernandez de Toledo brought, in
1858, the tobacco plant, which bad been, in
1920, found in Yucatan, first to Portugal,
and called the tube, with which the Domin-
goes smoked, tqbacos. The name of it orig
mated either from the island of Tabago, or
from the province of Tabsca, in Yucatan-
The French Minister near the Portuguese
court, Juan Nieot, sent the seed to Catha-
rine de Medicis, and thus the plant received
the name of Herba Nicotiana. The use of
smoking it was denounced as work of the
devil, while on the other side it was called
the Plant of the Holy Cross. Queens S
plant. etc.
flames l. tried (l604) to abolish the use
of smoking by heavy taxation. In order to
make smoking in Constantino4le ridiculous,
Turk was, with his smoking tube stuck
through his nose, driven through the streets.
James l. wrote, In 1919. his book .Misokap.
nos against the use of tobacco, Pope Ur-
ban VIII. excommuncated every one who
took a pinch cf snuff in church. In 1884,
every smoker in Russia had his nose cut off
Yet all these severe means to suppress the
use of the weed were without avail. and
smoking and snufing preparations of this
plant have spread over the whole world"

The Original Antl-Slavery AgitatOrs.

There is not man living who wishes more
sincerely than do to see plan adopted for
the abolition of slavery George Washington,
April IL, 1856.
"The scheme, my dear Marquis, which you
propose as precedent to encourage the eman-
cipation Of the black people in this country from
the state of bondage in which they are held, is
a striking evidence of the benevoence of your
heart Washington to Lafayette, 1888.
''It is the most earnest wish of America to see
an entire stop put forever to the wicked, cruel
and unnatural trade in slaves."-l Meeting at
Fairfax, Va, July 18th, TIA, presided over by
Washington.

God is Just. His justice cannot sleep forever"
-[Jeferson's Notes on Slavery in Virginia,
1882. ...
1.-THE King of Great Britain has waged cruel
war against human nature itself, violating its
most sacred rights of life and liberty, in the
persons of a distant people who never offended
him; capturing them and carrying them into
slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur mis-
cradle death in their transportation hither."-
Jeffersons Original Draft Of the Declaration of
Independence.

Action Of the EpiscOpal Convention.

The General Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church last evening reached deci-
sion on the resolutions of the committee on the
state of the country and the church. The reso.
utions, thus adopted, are as follows:
Resolyed, By the House Of Clerical aad Lay
Deputies of this stated Trie'nial Cs'.rention,
That assembling, as we have been called upon
to do at period of great national peril and de.
plorable civil CONFUSION, it is meet and proper
that we should call to mind distinctly and pub
lcly, that the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the United States hath ever held and taught, in
the language of one of its articles Of religion,
that 8 it is the duty of all men VIII are profess
sors of the Gospel, to pay respectful obedience
to the civil authority, regularly and legtimately
constituted !" and hath accordingly incorpora-
ted into its Liturgy "a PRAYER for the I: esident
of the United States and all in civil authority"
and a "prayer for the Congress OF the United
States, to be used during their session. and
hath bound all orders Of its ministry 10 the
faithful. ana constant observance, III letter and
snirit o. these and all other parts OF IT'S pre-
scribed ritual.
pseo},ed That we cannot be wholly blind to
Tho e,prse which bias been pursued, ia their &C.
,,es;as,ical "a well as in their civil relations,
| s;roe this Convention last met in perfect har-
motr and love, by great numbers Of the minis.
! tors and members OF this church, within certain
states of our Union which have a,rayad them
selves in open and armed resistance TO the regu.
Ierly constituted Government Of our country;
and that while in spirit OF Christian forbear-
ance, we refrain from employing toward them
any terms of condemnation or reproach, and
would rather bow in humiliation before our COM
mon Father in Heaven for the sins which have
brought His judgment on our land, we yet feel
bound to declare our solemn sense of the deep
and grievous wrong which they will have intlict-
ed on the great Christian communion which this
Convention represents, as well as on the coun-
try within which it has been 80 happily and har-
monously established, should they perseyere in
striving to rend asunder those civil and religious
bonds which have so long held hs together in
peace, unity and concord.
RESOLVED, That while, as individuals and citi-
zens, we acknowledge our whole duty in sustain
lug and defending our country in the great strug-
gle in which it is engaged, we are only at iiber-
ty, as deputies to this council of church which
hath ever renowned all political association and
and action, to pledge to the National Govern.
ment-as we now do--the earnest and deyous
prayers of all, that its efforts may be so guided
by wisdom and replenished with strength, that
they may be crowned with speedy and eompiete
success, to the glory of God, and the restoration
| of our beloved Union.

by most Of their crews. Captain Montgom-
cry, the flag officer, with most OF the officers
and men, succeeded in making their escape
in the woods on the Arkansas shore. The
federal ram Lancaster was struck by the

slightly disabled. Col. Ellei, in command
of federal rams, was struck in the brt asst by
a splinter, and stunned temporarily, but soon
recovered and continued on deck thoe ugh

by sharpshooters, mostly from Illinois, who
did good execution in picking eff the rebel

Engagement.

There was brilliant navel engagement
on the Mississippi last week. On Friday
morning. of the eight rebel boats brought in
to the action, all but one were either cap,ur-
ed or sunk. The one escaped down The
river. The work was all done in a little
over an hour.
Our foiiIla. consisting of 3 gunboats and
3 rams, left Fort Pillow at 2 o'clock Thurs
day morning. Finding no distractions at
Fort Randolph, the fotilla passed on, and at
8 o'clock on Thursday evening The gunboats
anchored miles above Memphis, the rams
remaining short distance above. A re-
connoissance was then made. and The rebel
feet consisting of the following vessels:
The Gen. Van Dorm. flag ship, Gen. Bragg,
Gen. Lowell, JEFF Thompson, Beauregard,
Little Rebel and Sumter, were discovered
lying near Memphis. During the night the
rebel feet moved down the river. and AT
daylight were seen coming up in line of bat
tie. Oar guuboats had in the meantime
weighed anchor, and followed by several
rams, moved slowly towards the rebel feet.
when shot from the Little Rebel, from a
rifle gun at long range, fell within short
distance of the Cairo, which was in the adj
vance. The Cairo replied with a b. sodsisse
and soon the engagement became general

time advanced. and the rebel ram Beaure-
