will be read with interest by all who have
friends in that brigade:
Gone felt safe with, such noble fellows

charged them, and waiting till the enemy

Episcopal Protest against Bishop Hopkins

Letter
Bishop Potter and the Episcopal Clergy of
Philadelphia have published the following pro-
test against Bishop Hopkins letter in defense of
Southern Slavery -
The subscribers deeply regret that the fact Of
the ext nsive circulation through this Diocese,
of a letter by" John Henry Hopkins, Bishop OF
the Diocese of Vermont, in defense OF Southern
Slavery, compels them to make this protest. 1t
Is not their province TO mix in any political can
yass But as ministers of Christ, in the Prot
estant Church, it becomes them to deny any
compile ty or sympathy with such defense.
This attempt not only to apologize for oIa-
very in the ABSTRACT but TO advocate it as 1t ex-
istsn the cotton States, and IN States which
sell men and women 10 open market as their
staple product, is IN their judgment, INV rtby
of any servant of Jesus Christ. As an effort to
sustain on Bible principles the States in rebel
lion against the Government, in the wicked at
tempt to establ sh by force Of arms a Tyranny,
under the name Of a Republic, whose " corner
stone shall be the perpetual bondage OF the Al
rlcan, 1t challenges their indignant reprobation'
Philadelphia, Sept. 1863.
This letter Of Bishop Hopkins which has called
out the above indignant protost-a protest signed
by Bishop Potter and rs Of the Episcopal Ger
gy of Philadelp hia-was used by the Copper
heads Of Pennsylvania, as a campaign tract in
thepoltlcal canvass now going on in that State.
The Albany Evening JomHa says OF tbs protest:
" 1t is a significant sign Of the times. The
Episcopal Clergy have never preached politics
Nor do they do so in this protest. They simply
repudiate us lmpous, an attempt by one OF their
number to dlshouor the Church and their Dl-
vine Master, by holding up as Scriptural In
stiution, a system which even intelligent heath
en- look upon with abhorrence'
And we may add that it is still further
=" significant sign Of the times that the cler-
gy Of all religious denominations are, with only
here and there an exception, united not only in
their condemnation of the wckedness Of treason
but Of the great crime against civilization, justice
and liberty, which alone has made treason pos
slble in our Government.

BRITISH NEuTRAuTY.--Th British Govern

out steam rams for the rebels is carrying their
sympathy little beyond the boundary of honest
neutrality, Yet as might be expected the con-
sideratious that influence them in OBTAINING the
new confederate cruisers nov building in English
dock yards, are purely selfish. The Times in an

TIE MnIrA LAw.-The Woodstock Standard

The MILITIA LAw.-The Woodstock Standard
says
The militia laws Of the State certainly need
remoddelng and made Of some force and effect.
AS they stand now they are not worth the space
they occupy on the statute book 1t is true that
the enrolment made last spring was attended
with as little expense and the board of medical
examiners were perhaps of no expense to the
State, but il any Of the authors OF that system
can point out to us any benefit derived from
Its operation so far, we beg them to do it, or
otherwise hold their peace and let others try
their hands at giving us an efficient militia law.
1t WAS penny wise and pound foolish policy,
and nothing else, which governed the legisla-
ture o last year and of 1861 in this matter
The Standard seems in earnest, in condemning
the militia law of last session, although it con-
fesses that what it assumes to do, it has done
well enough, and has cost the State but a trihe.
There certainly are good points in every law.
Now will the Standard inform US wherein the
State or Nation would have been any better for
different law during the past year ? What
could Vermont have DONE other than it has, for
the safety of the Republic, or for its own credit
and honor, with law such as the Standard de-
sires
