The ESGIIsh ORGAS.-Among the various
organs that represent foreign interests and
ideas in our midst there is an English organ,
conducted on the true English theory that all
that is good and admirable is England and the

especially all that is American, is contemplate
and vile. Itis the ostensible purpose of this
journal to fatter the national vanity Of its SUBJ
scribcrs- Englishmen who have come here to
make money-and it does this principally by
decrying this country in very English
spirit-that is, in spirit OF bullying, ignorant,
arrogant selfsuiicicncy. English sentiments
are at any time sufficiently unpalaiable to the
American people; but this war has made them
doubly so now England 10 against us openly,

CAPrAN WNsLows OFFICIAL RRroRrs.-We
give in another column the very interesting
reports of Captain Winslow and the officers Of
the Kearsarge to the Navy Department. From
these statements We are assured that the
utmost GOODNESS, zeal and courage were dis
played in every department Of the ship, and
that, from the gallant commander down to the
powder boys, each one strove to maintain the
honor and glory of the flag. The marines
opened the engagement with q riaed gun, and
throughout the action maintained q rapid and
effective fire. The gunner's report will be read
with much interest. In sixty-fve minutes one
hundred and seventy-three projectiles were
hurled at the pirate, the two eleven-inch guns
throwing fifty-fve shells, or at the rate Of one
nearly every tbirty-fve seconds to each gun.
This is foe practice, aud our transatlantic ene-
mics may rest assured that we have plenty Of
other vessels that can do as we'll if they only
have the opportunity.

In another column We give the declaration
OF certain dignitaries Of the American Episco-
pal Church. to the effect that they believe In
the Bible, and in ell that 1t tells a. to Heaven
and Hell-going the whole figure - to par
ticulars In the latter place--brimstone and fire,
horns, tail, and SO on. Why do these men deem
1t necessary to declare their belief In this wayi
Some three or four years ago there was
published brave and honest book, entitled
Essays and Reviews" It was made up Of
several papers on theological subjects, written
by distinguished churchmen in England, in
which they brought into question certain Of the
church doctrines and dogmas. They ventured
to show that many Of these dogmas, originating
in the intellectual darkness of the early Chris
tian centuries, were unworthy the enlighten-
ment Of the present age, and ought not to be
taught by truthful men, 1t was their
theory that, as growth aud progress are
permitted Tin every other branch OF study,
they ought to be permitted in theology also.
and that the Church ought no longer to insist
upon holding tenets that were acceptable In the
times when men believed that the world rested
on the back of a turtle. This carried with it the
dangerous fact that there were distinguished
churchmen who believed that the Church was
of human origin, since its IDEAS partook Of
human ignorance; for II it were instituted by
God His prescience must have made it such
that time and the growth of human knowledge
should not belittle it. Consequently the book
excited great alarm in the minds of the English
ecclesiastical hierarchy-all those
Little, round, iat, oily men of God
who enjoy comfortable bishoprcs. So the
ecclesiastical machinery was brought up out OF
the dark ages, and the authors OF this book were
at once denounced as heretcs. Two OF them
the Rev. DR.. Williams and Mr. Wilson-were
tried before an ecclesiastical court on the charge
Of hcresy, They were relieved from the charge;
but there was great dissatisfaction with the de-
cision. Hence there was schism, and the
Church in England was divided upon the ques.
ton whether or no it believed in the inspira
ton of the canonical Scriptures; and tesi
declaration on this subject was sent round FOL
righteous of the magnates.
This idea has been imported in order to give
the American bishops chance to show hon
good they also are; and so far only one has dc
clined to sign the declaration. This is Bishop
Whittingham. He does not refuse to sign be.
cause he believes in the inspiration Of the Scrip.
lures any less than the others do, but merely
because he does not like this particular plan oil
prescription.
