PERSONAL

The question of who shall be made Bish-
op Hughes Succession is sgitated. Bishop
Bailey Of New Jersey, TImon of Bugalo,
and MoClOskey OF Alabany, have been
uamed by the suffrsgsn bishops Of the
Archdiocese. The latter, who is native
Of New York, will undoubled be chosen.
His course in Albany has always been
that of clesr-headed, simpls-hesrted, and
benevolent man.
I EColonel Stone, the nsw Governor of
Iowa, was born in Jefferson county, New
York, in 1929 Of poor parents. In 1884 he
removed to Ohio, where for. several years
he wss employed as driver on q canal at
50 per month, working winters at wood
choppiDg at l5 cents por cord. He was
then tailor, next carpenter and is now
Governor. So honest and industrious
boys may become influential and respect
ed men.
Brain, who captured the Chesapeake, it
is said, is the same man who last summer
swindled numerous citizens in Halifax
out Of sums ranging from 25 shillings to
$50, By pretending to be publisher Of
Montreal, sbout to issue g mercantile and
statistical work Of Canads and the Provin-
Gee, for which he solicited subscriptions
and advertisements. The work has not
yet appeared, and the money doubtless,
helped to it out his piratical expedition.
Brain is still skulking somewhere in the

KessuIh,s Sow ProcInmntion.

The proclamation to the Hungsrians,
purporting to have been issued by Kos
suth. although its authenticity is not fully
established, may reasonably be regarded
as genuine. 1t is dated at Puda- Pesth,
December "a, and is stirring appeal to
the patriotism of the Hungarian people.
The following passage defines the pur-
pose OF the new movement:
Refusing to accept any kind Of compro-
mise, the great majority of the nation is
firmly resolved to shake off the dstesttd
yoke of German denomination. But as
the external signs Of our national life
have IN recent times not been in harmony
with that resolution, our natural allies
abroad have conceived doubts as to the
hrmness Of our designs. These doubts
have been the greatest obstacle to the
efforts Of our government tending to the
deliVersnce Of the country. The removal
Of that obstacle becomes an imperious ne
cFssity before the new turn Of European
evenis-a tura offering prospect full Of
promise to all the people who groan under
. foreign yoke. We must give sign Of
life in order that our natural allies may
be convinced that against the common
enemy they may surely count upon the
srms Of the Magyars. We must hold our
selves in readiness, in order that the ties
Of the terrified Austrian may not entangle
cur nation in the snare. We must prepare
to be in q state to seize energetiesllY the
favorable opportunity.

The o. 5. Sanitary and Christian COmnls-
sions--TheiF Work ut Bridgeport, Aim
bama.
THE UNITED STATES SANITARY COMMISSION.
This excellent organization has an ex-
tensiye agency here, under the immediate
superintendence of DR.. h. G.. Coates, Of
Marlboro, Ohio, whose energy and philsn-
thropio spirit has made him quite favor
ite with the managers Of the Commission.
AT this point all the sanitary goods are
received from the North and stored by the
energetic receiving agent, S. Il. Pocock,
who also attends TO the distribution and
forwarding Of supplies to the front. The
Commission has its headquarters in thir-
teen large tents adjacent to the depot,
where lodgings are provided for persons
travelling 70 and from the front on busi-
ness connected with the Commission or in
search Of deceased relatives. The ware
rooms Of the Commission are also in these
tents At the steamboat landing they have
a large collection of tents, used as Sol
diers' Home, where the bronzed heroes of
the war returning home sick or on fur
Tough are lodged, fed and kindly cared for.
All the returning veterans are also fed
upon the bounty Of the Commission. In
the field hospital the average number is
three hundred, all of whom are sumptu-
ously supplied with delicacies by The Com
mission, as well as the Convslescent Camp.
The Commission have an abundance of
stores, which are distributed, first, to the
sick and wounded, second, to the con7a-
lescents, and lastly, to regiments at the
front. The field hospital is under the care
of Surgeon Varian, q gentleman who has
been very successful in his trestment Of
the sick and wounded, only about four or
| i've of whom die per week. This is q very
small mortality, and speaks well for the
Doctors management.
But to return to the Commission. The
supply Of stores is so large that potatoes
and onions are issued weekly to twenty.
seven regiments Of ]. c. Davis division.
The extent of the business of the Commits.
sion will be seen from the statement that
| s., 900 worth of stores are received and dis
tributed weekly in this army. Our friends
in the North should not falter in the sup
port Of this most excellent association,
which is accomplishing such noble work.

Is also deserving of 8 word Of praise. It

charge and an excellent work is accom-
plished in the supply Of reading-mattsr to
the soldiers in camp and hospital. A large
tent has been set apart as o school for
! children Of the refugee families, where Mr..
NJ. Hughes, of Oxford, Ohio, instructs be-
tween forty and fifty pupils. Capt. Dud-
ley is erecting q permanent wooden struct-
ure for the use Of the Commission as q
school house, and apermanent teacher will
be employed. The Commission hold regu.
lar Sabbath services at the ship-yard in a
building used by the workmen as a mess
room. Facilities are supplied the soldier
for writing home. He is always welcome
at the rooms Of the Commission, and is
gratuitoUsly supplied with pens, ink, paper,
and envelopes. The Commission alec sup

When any part of the body is frozen il
should be kept perfectly quiet till it is
thaTed out, whish should be done as
promptly as possible As freezing takes
place from the surface inwardly, so thaW-
ing should be in the inverse order, from
the inside outwardly. The thawing out of
q portion Of flesh, without at the same
time putting the blood from the heart into
circulation through it, produces mortifca-
tion; but by keeping the more external
parts still congealed till the internal heat

Deadlock in the Pennsylvania Senate.

bAAAIUE WHITE IO NE nELEAbED.
A Harrisburg letter of the 14th, to the
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
The feeling among some Of the sena.
tors in regard to the organization is be-
coming high. Yesterdays session was
very stormy. One Of the Senators from
Philadelphia became SO excited as to de-
clare, on the floor CT the Senate, that he
took the charges on the other side as per.
sonal; that he held gentlemen responsible
for what they said, and that he was ready,
at any time, to meet the insults in proper
manner, Sc"
The Philadelphia Press says, on the same
subject:
"We have good authority for stating
that Senator White will, in all probability,
soon resume his seat in the State Senate.
The terms of his exchange have been de-
tsrmined, and it is not unlikely that he
will be in Harrisburg in the course of q
week His return will end the power Of
the opposition to suspend legislation and
defeat measures necessary to the people of
Pennsylvsnis. The satisfactory termina-
tion Of the dispute by the release of brave
soldier from rebel prison, is doubly graf
flying. His freedom will be due to the en-
ergy Of the government and Pennsylvanis
will not forget this great service to her in
terests. But what shall we think Of
party which owes its defeat to the liberia
tion Of Union soldier, and would profit
by the continuance Of his captivity 2"

The Residence of james Gordon Bennett.
The editor Of the Dubuque (iows) Herald
lstely visited Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
Of the New York Herald, at his residence
on the Hudson river. He thus speaks of it:
"Mr. Benefits success as a newspaper
publisher will be understood from the
value cf the estate st Fort Washington on
which he resides. This consists Of forty
acres Of ground, estimated to be worth five
thousand dollars an acre, without the i'm
provements of buildings, green houses, Sc.
These are worth not less than hundred
and fifty thousand more, making the value
Of the premises not less than three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, It is
probably worth great deal more than
this, but even at these figures it is enough
to show that he who can afford to enjoy
life in the style of comfort and msgnif-
csnce in which Mr.. Bennett indulges at
Fort Washington must have been crowned
with large wreath of business success"

The Democratic Howl about Corruption.
The Democracy have been taken some
what absok by the way in which the I'm
ion Press has demanded strict accuunta-
bility in every department of national az
fairs. They had supposed, reasoning from
the practices Of their party leaders here
tofore, that attempts would be made 10
conceal or apologize for any evil deeds
committed by officials. They csnnOt no.
understand therefore, why such unsni-
nous demands for casting all the Jonahs
overheard are being made by the loyal
Press.
At the beginning Of the var the great
urgency for the immediate formation and
equipment Of 3 grand army made it posi-
BE for men to plunder the treasury. Now,
however, al good loyal men demand that
the most condign retribuiion shall be vis-
tied upon all who fatten on gains ILL
gotten from contracts, Custom House ope-
rAtions or by any other process.
What is little remarkable, however, is
the cool impudencs of the pretensions to
honesty which the Democratic press assume
to themselves. Even the New York News.
long in league with Richmond, suddenly
goes into rsptures over the golden age Of
honesty in the Republic when democratic
chiefs held sway. In commenting upon
the stern denuncistions of corruption by
the Abolition Prees itssys;
HThe offences must indeed be rank that
causes these Abolition papers 10 thus de-
mand justics on their party leaders,
charged with treason and with fraud. But
this call for thorough investigation will
be in vain. 1t will not be answered. Pee
ulatiOn and fraud are too prevalent in all
the departments Of Government to allow
this. The only remedy for the evil that we
Bse Is to place the Government again in
the hands Of honest men, who will soon
cleanse the Augean stable, by sweeping the
whole crew from Office"
Nov we submit that this outraged vir-
tue is the sure evidence Of guilt Probs-
bly, there has never been q war wsged in
which less corruption has been found, con-
Eidsring its gigantic proportions, than in
this struggle Of the Republic for national
ityand liberty.
Though there have been offences most
foul, yet there has been an amount Of
honesty and virtue exhibited to which the
Democracy never attained. And yet Fer
1ando Wood says the Government must

Spirits of Washington Letters.
DAVIS OF KENTUCKY.

Mr.. Davis is not poor speaker, by any
means, though from the invariable length
Of his addresses, he has obtsiued the repu-
tation Of being unbearsbly artesian as q
member Of the Senate. In stature, be is
below the medium height He is hardly,
If not quite seventy years Of age, and his
physical powers are rapidly failing.
His voice is harsh and squesking, so that
his efforts partake of the nature of an
old mans scold, rather than a deliberate,
thoughtful opinion upon the subject at
issue. His language is usually well cho-
sen, and he is prone to SMILES, which are
sometimes very good He strikes one as
man who, in his day-now long past-had
been an impressive and able speaker. He
processes to be Union man-in favor Of
putting down the rebellion by force of
arms. Perhaps he might be defined as
grabbed, cross grained, fault finding I'm
ionist, rather than q real sympsthizer
with the cause Of the rebels. He is an op-
ponent Of the Administration, because it is
his nature to be an opposition member, no
matter what The tenets Of the party in
power. In the Richmond Congress, he
would arrsign JEFF. Davis as, in the Wash
ington Congress, he impesches Mr.. Liz
coln-on general principles. Like q DO
liticsl character admirably portrayed in
one of Dickens works, he believes in op-
posing everything and turning everything
upside down, just for the sake of belong
ing to the opposition side.
PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPY.
A gentleman called upon Mr.. Lincoln
day or two since and found him en-
gagged in counting small pile Of green
backs. "This, sir" said the President,
'is something out Of my usual line. But
President Of the United States has q
multiplicity of duties, not specified in the
Constitution, or the acts of Congress-
This is one Of them. This money belongs
to poor negro, who is a porter in the
Treasury Department, and is, st present,
very sick with the smallpox. (He did
not catch it from me, however. At least,
think not He is now in the hospital,
and could not draw his pay, because he
could not sign his name. l have been at
considerable trouble to overcome the diff
Guilty and get his money for him, and
have, at length, succeeded in cutting red

dividing his money, and putting by por-
tion in an envelope, labeled with his name,
along with my own funds, according to
his wish" And so he did-folded it care
fully, and locked it up in q safe where
neither moth nor rust would corrupt nor
thieves break through and steal-thus re-
eeiving himself into savings back for the
beneh, Of helpless sufferer. This is but
one Of the many instances of practical
philanthropy developed in the every day
life Of Mr.. Lincoln. How many men are
there in the world occupying a position
with one tenth the responsibility and i'm

turn aside from the cares Of State, and the
dignity Of official duties, to perform sim

The Louisville Journal on the Decay Of
Religion.
EFt The Democracy are again at their old
tricks The harp on which they rung
... many changes has been taken up again.
There has been an efor for some time to
induce the more reverential OF The Demo
--..., cratic faithful to withdraw sll fellowship
- from the churches where conscientious
preachers are in the habit Of telling
-FrsH 7T them Of their own or of the na-
tion's sins. Sam. Msdary Of Columbus
insugurated the cry for church, aad
3G# the faithful everywhere are responding
with al the zeal Of new converts.
The Louisville Journal, in long jsre-
as6 niad over the decay Of pistyin the churches,
speaks thus dolefnlly of their condition.
GEhe modest teachings of religion have
been rudely thrust aside to make room for
- political preaching and the predatory
y W. church services are dispatched with inse-
cent haste in order that the grand esremo-
ny Of all, the sermon, may be speedily
reached and thundered forth by the cleri-
3 s.Ea cal. demagogues. Since this change has
obtained, men who differ politically have
become so depraved in religious taste that
= they cannot worship the Almighty under
the same roof employ the services Of
the same shepherd TO watch the fold. The
house OF God has been metamorpbosed into
an amphitheatre and the silent devotion
Of religion changed into the loud plsudits
OF mob. So far as sanotity is concerned,
there can be but little difference between
Plymouth Church and Tsmmsuy Hall and
" except in the sscerdotal rObss, distine-
tion between Cheever, Bsecher, and others
Of that ilk, and the stump orators Of any
political party"
These new defenders Of the faith have
singular notions Of Christianity. They
imagine il to be the mission OF Christian
ity to stimulate wha! is called the "silent
devotion Of religion Christianity is q
sort Of rapt ecstasy Of soul in which, lifted
above the distractions of earth, they sup
pose themselves TO Commune with the eter-
nal and invisible. Itis a sort of sristOorstic
feeling, a luxury of sentiment an elixir Of
pesoe, beati6e trance into which the
Democratic soul may pass hearing
noises Of woe and misery from this great
workshop of the world. When our dem
ecrstic saint goes to the house Of prayer,
.r he wishes to ascend on the angel wings Of
music to heaven. The minister is expec-
ted to caress his weary soul with the sb-
Btrsct beatitudes Of the gospel. It's blessed
Sabbath peace must never be disturbed by
the jsrgon Of practical Christianity. The
minister may on special occasions express
his views abstractly on the immorslities
Of the day 50 long as they are cOsmopol-
itAn immoralities, SO long as he deals in
-s vague and glittering genersldes.
Bat on no socount must the man of God
deal in the concrete. ANY reference to
the duties ofoiizsns toward their country
unless it be couched in terms Of hsppy
ambiguity-is accommodated fcom the
pulpit. I-r.f
The estimate, which democratic papers
like the Louisville Journal put upon Chris
tiHnity, very fortunately for mankind, is |
not the estimate Of that large, intelligent
nnd irhnsntiaI hndz of men vim ara lie |
