servitude, except in punishment of crime,

The persons or their legal representa-

ARCHBISHOP HUGuEs ON PEACE. -
Archbishop Hughes last Sunday in dis
course made the following slluslon to our
national affairs:
This is neither the time nor place for
me to enlarge upon the events which have
so broken up the unity of the Christian
Church. Nevertheless, 1t should be the
prayer of every good man that the human
race might be, somehow or other, even
miraculously restored to peace, and bro't
to rest on the rock of ages, so that the
gates of hell shall not prevail agalnt
them, - some central point which shall
reunite, and bring back the wonted affec-
ton and friendship that have been so dis
persed by heresy and schism. This should
be the prayer of every good man. The
idea presses itself upon every one that
there is no central point of unity. In the
first instance, speaking of Catholics, | may
say that they had no hand whatever in
bringing about the condition of affairs
which now afflicts the land. All that
can say is, that according to their ideas OF
duty, they have been loyal to the trusts
which their country has placed in them.
All can say further is, that if there were
more houses Of God, more charitable insti-
buttons, more asylums, more hospitals, it
would not be too much to hope and be-
believe that in these thsre would be an
electric fire, piercing the very clouds, that
more than newspapers, turn aside the light
ming of battle, and then thunders of the
battle field. But so long as infdslity pre-
walls, so long as hsresy and schism-sc
long as all our wickedness continues, SC
long, | believe, God will let us use om
own means of self punishment.
We might pray to God by some mean;
that it is impossible for man to penetrate
to bring our unhappy affairs to some con-
clasion - to end the effusion of human
blood. That is a legitimate prayer. Tho
no one can say that even IN that case there
acoaJd not be prayer on both sides Of til,
hne-one praying against the other We
can only hope that out of his mercy FOL
both sides of the line, for the whole coun-
try, He, in his all-wise and all-powerfa
providence, will bring about the peace and
prosperity of this people. These thoughts
have just entered my mind on the present
occasion, and hope that in all our en-
deavors we will not forget our devotions
at the altar-praying, l wiU not sag to'
peace, witicb appear at this moment ridic-
uIous since there is only one side can giut
peace, and the other Don't haze 1T. We
may pray the Almighty to bring matters
to conclusion. One side can make par
but it requtees tho to make peace, and !,
appears that there is only one side MOI,
that wonts 1t. We had peace once. They
did not preserve peace. Now, it is but one
party that is for peace. In that stale .,
the case aohot prospect is there for peace ?

AN ABoMINABLE SHEET.-We have
before us copy of a paper styled the
Ne,O York Copperhead, which was brought
home by one of our returned soldiers. 1t
is full of reasonable matter, served up
with any amount Of low and fippant Ian
guage. We call the following paragraph
as fair specimen:
"The people of Ohio petition certain
Illinois pettifogger, burglar and kidnap-
per now living in Washington, and face
tiously terming himself the President of
the United States, to recall Vallandigham
from exile. We are sorry to see Demo
Gratis disgracing themselves IN this man
ner."
1t would seem that such stuff as this
in which the columns of the Copperhead
abound, ought to nauseate all but congo
NAL minds but still 1T may do considerable
harm when spread broadcast among poor
ly informed people. Sach suicidal abuse
of free speech ought to have its penalties
at time when the national salvation de-
ponds upon the efforts of the loyal, but if
the paper was suppressed, as it should be,
every partizan democratic sheet at the
North would set up howl over an inva-
sion of the right of free SPECIALIZATION

The Richmond correspondent of the
London Times, under date of May II,
predicts that the Northerners will be as
tonlshed and confounded at the movements
of Lees army during the summer. He
says Lees army is in fine condition, has
been reinforced, and 10000 added to the
cavalry arm, the horses for them having
been wintered in South Carolina and
Georgia. Hooker's army has been much
depressed by the defeat at Chancellors-
vile, where they lost many by desertion.
The spolls taken from the field, he repre-
sents as very great, no less than $4,000
muskets, among other things, beng picked
up on the field. The writer says Presi-
dent Davis expresses himself thoroughly
confident about the issue of the struggle in
his own state.

The question of rank between the Ma

been submitted, by determining that the
following is the order of precedence
Maj Gen Mcclellan, appointed May

Harrisburg, July L, you p H.
A battle took place yesterday afternoon
