Bishop lIcIi&ane,

The New York Independent bestows q
handsome and weil-merited compliment
on the venerable Bishop who presides over
the interests of the Episcopal Church in
Ohio. In speaking of the triennal con
vention it says:
1t would seem as if the timidity and
undisguised worldliness of very many
members of the Lower House was poetic
ally arranged in order to give the greatest
dignity and moral effect to the House of
Bishops. D,daining all the web weaving
aud piuful pretchses Of the Lower House,
Bishop Mcllvane, who, under God, has
laid his whole half century under obliga-
tons to him for his unwearied services of
religion, advanced and delivered the pas
toral letter. After SO mnch base metal,
how clear is the ring of true silver? This
IS the Bishops rebuke TO the Lower
House for their time serving cowardly
course. The Church in New York and
Pennsylvania have, in times passed suf-
fered from the evil doings of eminent
Bishops. We unite with all good Chris
tan men In congratulations to our Episco-
pal brethren, and in thanks to God that
the days have come when, not only their
church but all churches are strengthened,
comforted, enlightened and emboldened by
the catholic and christian conduct of the
Bishops of the Episcopal Church in
America.

The opinion is that they viii eravuatc.
The railroad will be repaired by to-mor-

A regiment from Columbus passed
down to Lagrange last night; another
goes day.
The rebels are about $4,000 strong at
Holly Springs. Van Dorm is in command
of them, and if battle is not fought be
fore many days, it will be because the
enemy prefer running to fighting.

Gen. Pleasanton remained over night
at Marshall, and this morning moved on
towards Barbourg, five miles distant, and
near the mouth Of Chester Gap. Before
entering the town he came up with Gen.
Stuart with 5000 men and one battery.
The enemy had their guns posted on hill
on the left of the road, but were driven
off. Col. Gregor of the 9Th Penn, charg-
ed on them with full regiment, com
pletely routing them and taking
some prisoners. AS the rebels fed
Capt Saunders with squadron
of the 9th Penn. regiment charged on
their flank, while Capt, burlington, with
another full regiment, assaulted them with
shells. The rebels left ten of their dead
on the field. Our loss was one killed and
FIVE wounded. Among the enemy dead
was Captain. The sdjutant of Vir-
ginia regiment had his leg broken and is
prisoner. The conduct of our cavalry
in this action was splendid. and it is only
necessary for Gen. Stuart to meet them
in an open field to show our superiority.
Salem was occupied to-day by Gen.
Bayard's cavalry, who drove the LIST Va.
cavalry from the town and captured sew
eral prisoners.

The Negro in the Army,

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, writing from Harper Ferry, Oc-
tober ED, makes the subjoined statement.
"Our pickets seem to think it no harm
to kill negro, and the Irish troops es-
pecially delight in this sport. Every
negro that is seea at night, or wandering
in the woods in the day time. is shot by
our outpost guards, and many who come
into our camps are shot by accident
Gen. Milroy, in an order dated at his
headquarters in Clarksburg IVA. on the
ed October, states that he ''has been re-
peatedly panied to learn that few bad
men in some of the regiments of his com
msnd are in the habit of abusing, beating,
and otherwise maltreating the negro and
mulatto servants and teamsters employed
by officers and quartermasters in his com
mand." The General says that st is
suspected that the rebels have hired these
bad men to enlist in some of our reei
ments as spies, and for the purpose of
abusing and driving back the contra.
bands" And he concludes his order as
follows.
ut is therefore ordered and hereby
mace the duty of every officer and soldie,
OF his command to immediately shoot
down every soldier or other person who
may be found causelessly abusing, beating,
or otherwise maltreating any Of the ne
s gro or 4aalatte servants or drivers in OF
about this command"

Indians to be let off on easy terms.

New York, Nov. 6.
The Times has the following: Dis
patches Of the greatest Importance, and
which may effect change in the whole
aspect OF the war, were to-day submitted
by the French Legation to tho Secretary
of War. Gen. Halleck expresses the be-
lief that foreign war necessitating levy
en- masse of our whole population would
not be an evil without large compromising
benefits, and expresses the belief that the
North has not yet begun to develope its
possible resources.
An informal meeting of the Cabinet was
held to-day and adjourned TO this eve-
ming, when it asse nbled at 8 o'clock
Gen. Halleck being present, on special
invitation Of the President, it is believed
that decision Of more ultimate impor-
lance than any yet made in the course Of
the war, has been arrived at, and will be
announced before the end of the week -
The city is pregnant with rumors OF mil
itary and Cabinet changes. Military
changes are positive, and it is believed
that certain Cabinet Ministers regard
these changes as condemnation, giving
them no alternative but to resign.
1t is not believed that any capital pun
lshment will be visited upon the hostile
Indians in the Northwest-the policy
Of the government being averse to such
treatment of the Indians who have given
themselves up. 1t is the mission Of As
sis,ant Adjutanl General Malar, now in
Minnesota to adjust these difficulties as
far as possible.
The Times hns the following special !:
upperyille. 4th,-yesterday Pleasan-
tons successful pursuit Of Stuart was re-
sumed at 10 a. M The enemy was
placed in very dangerous position or
the road leading from Union to Upper
vile, but after hours hard fighting,
Pleasanton, joined by Averill, drove
Stuart and his 5000 back till lney broke
aud ran. They succeeded in making good
their escare through Ashby's Gap.
Gen. MeClelIan's headquarters are al
prcsant at this place.
There Is every indication that both
sides are seeking to bring on a great
battle in this neighborhood, but the reb-
els speak of their intention TO get back to
Richmond as speedily as possible.

The Recon.truc,ion Idea.
From the Richmond Enquirer, Oct II

|
The Charleston Mercury OF the 9TH, pur-
suing its "phantoms,' imagines that the
Enquirer has some idea of reconstruc-
ton with the ''free States" The ground
for this silly apprehension it finds in the
following garbled extract from the Enqui-
rer of the 9th Of September:
1.-The only terms which the Confedcr-
ate States can accept, will be the immedi-
ate recognition of the present Confeder-
ate States, and the pcrnttsSipt 10 the other
States 10 elect their oun destiny, and de-
etae aehether their future shat be ruth tie
Coatederate States or NTH tie United
,StuteS'
So much the Mercury quotes, as tho
that was all that was said by the Enqui-
rcr, when the fact is, we continued
"We are of the opinion that the prin.
ciples of election should be applied not
only TO the border slave State, but to each
and all Of the remaining United States
Not that any of the Northesn States are
,odnted an tie coat,1'erocy, bit as an &C.
acknowledgement of The hight of seces sion,
for which this war has been waged.'
When we used the expression, " per
mission to the other States to elect their
own Destiny" &c, we alluded to Ken
lucky, Maryland and Missouri, and ex-
prcssly negatived the idea of reconstruc
tion with "any of the Northern States =
We opposed any proclamation to the
Northwestern States.
If the Mercury would let its scissors
run straight through our editorials we
would not have the causes of complaint
that justly arise from its twisting and
turning them about'to misrepresent what
we have said, in order to find complaint
against the z gernn emit.
1t was on the 9Th Of September, in that
same article from which the Mercury
quotes, that we expressed opposition :" to
connection with any of the free States
and reiterated these views on the Goth.
As to what committees OF Congress,
through majorities and minorities, may
report, We can only say that sometimes
they pursue as many "phantoms" and
assume as many " fanciful grounds even
as MIR. Rhett; but it is amusing to see the
Mercury excuse Mr. Rhe,t and his " phan-
toms" BY holding up the examples of
Congressional committees as iustifyine
the apprehensions of Mr.. Rhest.

LIES Hoiuesy NOV. y, 1oOZ. J
Editor of Gate City: In looking over
your very valuable and interesting synop-
sis of the information gathered from the
census Of 1850 and 1860, in regard to
our favored State, as published on Tues
day last, / notice this expression: "Were
the facts and figures at hand, shown g
the progress of the State in Agriculture
generally dc. &c. Since the receipt
of the Census for 1860 | have been pre-
pairing tssles making such an exhibit
gathered from our State Census and
State Assessments, which lam publishing
as prepared, In the Iowa Homestead -
They will also embrace every other de-
partment of industry, SO far as 'facts and
figures" will give them from the above
sources, for period embracing the past
ten or twelve years. To supply in part
what you wish for, will anticipate by
giving the following total valuation of
property, real and personal, from 1851 to
1869, inclusive:
| ls5l-S28, AGA, $50 lS57-2lO,O44 ,533
1867 3s,427,316 I35S-ls5, 239, 736
1866 49,540,304 ls59-197, 823 $50
1851 1896, 204 IS6O-183, 639. 33S
lS55-106, 1859 186l-i77.451, OO3
l856-l56, 994,4l3 ls6s-l15,77l ,63s
The United States Census for 1860,
gives the true value Of every description
of property at ss47, 33s.s65, which ex-
hib'ts considerable difference over that
OF the Assessment returns for that year,
and is, doubtless, near the mark.
With the material furnished by the
United States Census, We may arrive at
the best approximation of our position
from time to time as nation, but they
appear as liable to err as any other docu-
ment. Taking these with similar mate.
rial furnished at home we may arrive at
more correct conclusions. For instance.
there is no probability that there was
made in 1859, as that must be the year
the Census embraces) in this State, with.
IN fraction of 2 1000, 900 gallons of Scr
ghum syrup, as is published in the Cen.
sus. There was doubtless something
over half Of that quantity Neither is it
at all probable that the item OF Coal rails.
ed in this State for the year ending June
lst, as put down in the Census was as
low as $4,000 bushels; any one who
knows any thing about our State would
place the true amount at nearer fifty times
the above. Notwithstanding all this,
however, MIR. kepnedy's preliminary re-
port is highly valuable and more reliable
perhaps than any previous report of a
similar character, and no doubt AS truth
full as we shall ever have.
Very Respectfully yours.
