Nh EDITOR You think there was no intention
to insult the protestant clergy in the late programme
Of the Kings funeral. This is certainly a charitable
conclusion, and We trus, il Is true, so far as the
native part Of The government is concerned. But
would not Bishop Staley have considered i; an insult,
If he had not been put down. in such a public docu-
ueut, under the title which be claims as an officer in
the Christian church; The protestant clergymen in
these islands claim to Be as really clergymen Of the
Christian church as his I" Lordsbip'' himself. And
is it becoming in a public document, issuing from q
government which owes 50 much TO these protestant
clergymen, 10 deny them the title and standing
which they claim and have always received in the
Christian church Of the islands;
We do not object here, that a section Of the Chris
tisn church-if il sees st in its bigoted WISDOM
should deny the protestant clergy a standing in the
Christian church. But TO thrust this bigotry into
q public document Of the government, which has
been brought into being and taken q standing among
the Christian nations Of the earth mainly in cOnse-
ouence Of the labo.s Of these same protestant clergy
men, is what we do not approve. There was no
necessity for the government On SO solemn on occa-
sion, TO treat with discourtesy any Of its subjects,
especially It's best friends and truest benefactors.

THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
FEBRUARY l3.

The news brought BIZ the YANKEE is late and
interesting, though possessing no very startling
features. But few changes have taken place in
the war programme in America, nor until spring
can much Be done. Everywhere, however, great
activity prevails, presaginG that the operations
Of spring will be on a scale and Tigor SURPRISING
anything that has yet transpired. Congress Is
sustaining the administration with z liberal pol
icy, having a handsome working majority Of
twenty in the popular branch and about three
fOurths Of the Senate. Ill the money, men, and
ship asked for By the administration will un-
doubtedly be voted, while the revenue Of the
government promises 70 amour: TO over two hun
dred and fifty millions from taxes and duties
alone. The ease with which the money loans re-
quired by the government have been raised
among the people, and within the country itself.
is the strongest evidence Of It's power and ability
70 carry on this war till the slavemongers' rebel
lion is entirely crushed out, and not 4 vestige Of
slavery, which brought it on, remains to curse
the country.
\ new proposal has just been brought before
Congress, which promises 10 become a popular
measure. 1t is that the proceeds Of the property
of the planters and other leading rebels. which
may be eonfscated and sold, shall be distributed
among the officers and soldiers of the army, in
stead of being returned to the public treasury.
No definite action had yet been taken on this
measure, nor is it clear whether it be wise policy
to enact it. That the property of rebels should
be confscated, after amnesty and pardon have re-
~peatedly been offered 10 them, no one can ques-
ton, even should every plantation at the South
be sold, and the former occupants be rendered
poor and tenantless. Treason IS a crime of such
magnitude and foulness, that in no part of the
world will apologists be found for it. Especially
so il it when the treason is ommitte without
cause and against the best and most liberal gov
eminent ever established.
Among the war items received, il il stated that
a plan is being formed to advance on Richmond
in the spring with three strong armies By differ
ent routes. But that city may in the spring be
deserted. This, however, Is merely a revival Of
favorite plan. That general ad-
vanced on Richmond by the peninsula, while
Mcdowell was to advance from Fredericksburg.
The scheme was well enough, and would have
been carried out, but for counter orders from the
Washington Cabinet, and il may be a mere re-
next spring.
General Burnside is collecting i large marine
and naval force az New York, to set sail early
in spring. II is thought that North Carolina is
