DIsGRCEFUL SCENES AT ENGLISH WATER
ING PLACES.-It is a matter of painful no.
toriety that at this season of the year our
seaside watering places are q disgrace to
the country, and scenes are daily per-
petrated, which would not be allowed in
any other country in Europe. 1t would be
difficult now to point TO single watering
place where there is anything like . SEM
blance of ordinary decency is upheld
Men, women and children bathe in close
proximity, without any attempt being
made to shelter them from public view
The men adopt simply natures costume,
and the woman-we can hardly call them
ladies-merely put on loose bathing dress
es, which really hide but few of their
charms. We cannot account for this ap-
parent total want of modestv which seems
TO pervade all classes. The remark applies
not only TO those who are the performers
that is, the bathers-but the crowd of ap-
plauding spectators, both male and female,
that watch the antics Of these parties from
the sands and the nights, and who are ap-
parently so pleased and interested with
what they witness, that they think it no
disgrace to bring opera glasses, so that they
may lose nothing Of the performance. This
may seem 10 some d strong assertion to
make, but we appeal to those who have
witnessed the bathing at Margate, Rams
gate, Dover, and other places, whether the
picture is either high colored or overdrawn.

SMELLING, AND How THE MISSILES ARE
DoDGED.-A correspondent, whiting from
Morris Islaud to the Christian 4 oUocate and
Journal sas: a- ~.E
AT night we can see the path Of shell
through all its Journey, lighted asi it is by
the burning fuse. When the range is two
miles, the track of a shell from q mortar
describes nearly half the arc of "a CIRCLE
On leaving the mortar it gracefully moves
nearly or quite mile above the earth, and
then glides along for moment, apparently
in a horizontal line but quickly YOU per-
ceive that the little fiery orb is on the home
stretch, describing the other segment of a
| circle. A shell from rified Parrot gun,
in going y miles, deviates from straight
| line not quite as much as a shell from a
mortar But in passing over this space,
considerable time is required. The report
| travels much faster than the shot. A shell
| from mortar Will make q distance of two
miles in about thirty seconds, and from a
Parrott gun in about half that time. The
| flash of gun at night, and the white smoke
by day, indicate the moment of discharge,
and fifteen or twenty seconds give album
dance of time to find cover in q splinter
proof, behind trench, or something else.
It is wise and soldierly to do so, but many
| pay no attention to these kissing, scream
| ing, flying, in the day time, if shot from
gun, invisible devils, except 10 crack Jokes
at their expense; or, occasionally, one pays
| his life for his toolhardiness. ...

MATTERS AT THE STATE OAPITAI-THE
ILLINOIS NJ. K. CHURCH.-SPRINGFIEID
Oct. 9, lS63.-In the Illinois Methodist Con,
ference to-day the case of Rev. W. Blum.
dell, charged with being a Copperhead,
and opposed to the country, was taken up.
and a committee appointed to prefer char
ges against him.
Assistant Missionary of Ohio, Rev. Mr..
Harris, Secretary of the NJ. E. Church. ad-
dressed the Convention on the subject of
missions. He gave very fiattering ac-
count OF the progress of missions, ana OF
the financial prospects of the Society. In
1860 the Society was 40,0O0 in debt. In
1862 there was a surplus of $1,000. This
year the increase in receipts over last is
one hundred and twenty-one thousand
dollars.
The great question before the Conference
to-day was the state of the country.
A series of highly patriotic resolutions
were presented by the majority of the Com
mittee. They declared,
Resolved, That the Conference recogni-
zes the hand of God in the present war.
2. That correct understanding of it's
cause is necessary to its suppression.
8. That we believe slavery is the pri-
mary cause of the rebellion, and that there
can be no security for the Union and peace
for the States as long as it is tolerated.
4. Endorses the Emancipation Proclaim
alton, as not only justified by military
necessity, but by the moral sense of the
civilized world. -'-' ~ az.
5. That in the signal victories gained by
our armies since the enforcement of the
Emancipation Proclamation. we behold an
indicati Of the approval Of heaven on
that measure. H5 .-5 80. .....
6. That every citizen should abstain by
word or deed from interposing obstacles in
the way of the prosecution of the war, but
to employ all the means God has given to
assist in striking down the rebellion.
| Z. That the Providence Of God in the
events of the war, declare plainly that he
| is compelling the nation to recognize the
| manhood of the negro, which the system of
! slavery has been endeavoring to crush out.
s. That it is matter of great gratifica-
! ton to all Christians, that the President ia
all his official proclamations, recognizes so
distinctly the efficiency of Christian faith,
and the overruling hand of God in shaping
the fortunes of our country.
| 8. That man who withholds his hearty
support from the Administration, may be
justly suspected of want of sympathy with
| and loyalty to the Government. .til.
! 10. That they cordially approve of the
| policy of the Administration in the enforce
ment of the censcriptioTi act and the sus-
pension of the writ of habe0s corpus touch
ng offences against the Government.

GREAT SURGICAL OPERATION.

From hS Chiedgo ITtoHNsi NOV. II.
Dr. Underwood, of this city, recently performed one
of the most desperate operations in ophhamic surgery.
The subject was Gotlif Bare, Of hanistu, hch, who
had large and unsighay tumor that had spread from
the bottom of the left eye and involved all the struc
lures of this organ. This immense growth had been
growing for upwards Of tWentyeven years. but had not
reached an alarming extent until within the past four
years From its recent rapid growth, and s for
midabe aud frghtful ppearance-protrudiug from the
interior of the eye nearly two nches-and from the
certainty of it, endangerng the opposite eye If not life
ITSELF the entire removal Of the eye and s disease was
the ONLY alternative The operation was performed in
the presence of number Of medical men and students
and few curious spectators. 1t was distressing and
bloody sight and but that the patent was wholly nsen
sble from the administration Of chloroorm, would not
have been endurabe. Under this tranquilizing agent
the patient remained perfectly quiet throughout the o
Grafton 80 that the ony difficulty with which the opera
tor had 10 contend was the immense flow Of blood,
which retarded somewhat the rapdity of execution
However, the whole operation was performed in less
than fifteen minutes the entire eye, teargand muscles
nerves and everything Herewith connected, were COM
petey removed, leaving nothing to be seen but the
bony socket they had 90 long ussesty filed. Mr. Bare
recovered from the operation in tWsny-Ons days, and
is now at home.

THE PEACE PARTY.
[From The Hamilton (ohlO) Telegraph


The Peace party has been defeated l. peiled every
thirg for the sake of principle. It resorted TO no
"polcy," but fought for the Constitution and It's guan-
witnessed million and half Of men taken from the
ranks of labor to swell the carnage Of It hiss wit
messed fearful waste of life and in this brutal
and ratrcidal Is 1t for the maintenance of
the Union for the establishment of despotc power
The Peace party believe that the Ia wsged Tor the
negro and not for the Constitution. For this reason the
policy OF the Administration assaied and OPP
posed. The ground taken was that the was unjust
in its irsepon that IL waged TO perpetuate the
power Of the men who brought it upon Besides
this on the of humanity, il conceded that
homogeneous races had no right to Ont each others
throas in order TO Get free few millions of the black
race.
Whether antagonism may exist between the dominant
party of this country and the Peace party,
challenge the honesty of the motives tat actuated the
defeated one in this State There were no motives for
dishonesty. T1ere were no merceuary motives 10
beckon them onward Offices to lead them out into
corruption and fraud. They fought in the face Of per-
secuou they bstted with the despots heel upon their
necks. Who will say it is other than glorious party
They are for peace for the reason that WEI and
union are incompatible And 10 rational statesman
doubts it. The probability Of reconstruction Is
now regarded by the domnant party-a myth. The
peace party have faith in the Masses aud deem recon-
sruction possb lily, a. least the hope for the Union
of the Northern and Southern sections Of the country
History will vindicate this party, and will write Of the
greatest nobest and purest party that ever existed in
America.

MORTALITY AMONG HORSES.

The Chattanooga correspondent OF the CincinI eli
Commercial makes the following humorous reference to
the condition Of horse flesh in the Army:
The mortality among tse horses Of this army has Teen
very great lately. Hundreds of animals have died Of
actual starvation, and the survivors ptuly gsunt
and lean. The evil Is being remedied, partially. by tie
removal Of large amount Of useless stock to Sesen-
and Bridgeport IL Is impossible to haul sufici ut
supply of forage from Bridgeport and the country Is
now depleted of this years crop. A further measure
Of economy In horse feed all suffers have been odere
to the rear, as far as S;evenson-the lsrsstumeer
Of teams kept by them being quite an item in the
forage line. Even headquarter horses kept short
allowance, and many brgadiers steed shows his ribs
in bold relief Chargers that won't TO revel in the
lap OF plenty, and lie down soft beds Of hay and
straw, now poke their NOES into empty hay racks aud
chew fence rails in default Of corn ears. The army
wagons meandering evidences Of unappeased mule
appel tes. Every side board tail board and tongue
bears marks of hungry teeth many Of thes, articles
gnawed away till nothing but toe nails aud tcre.s
remain. An army of tie Cumberland horse will eat
himself loos from Ordinary hitching-post Ia fifteen
minutes, and good sized wagon bed sill! be devoured
by team in night. Pretty costly fodder for mules,
TO be sure.
An officer who arrived in town tho other evening,
and accostng darkey inquired Of him where he could
fnd accommodations Tor hs horse. "Dont know, sab,
bout the commodstions. De force rails is all gone
AID dar amt nothn for em to eat any more only few

Several times within the past week have horses
snap newspapers from the hands of unsuspecing eff
