IKE FRIoArE CONGRESS RAIsED.-The
United States frigate Congress, sunk by the
Merrimac in Hampton Roads, opposite New
nor, News, was raised on Thursday last.
Five powerful steam pumps were put in mo:
ton at ebb tide, throwing out 5000 gallons OF
water per minute. The hull b came buoyant
and began slowly to rise, the surrounding
water tight bulkhead rising with it. Slowly
the mass emerged from beneath the surface
of the water, and at two o'clock, the ligh, Of
dav once more shone on the deck. The
wreck, as appearing above the waters, says a
correspondent, gives a fair idea Of the original
size Of the ship, though much OF the after
par. Of the vessel is gone. On the deck are
two rusted guns, to which oysters and barn
acles are tightly clineing. 4 carpet OF aige
is spread over the deck. The tersdo has
bored into the timbers, and the ribs OF oak
are honey-combed. Save the great amount
of metal in and about the wreck the remains
Of the Congress are useless. There are
vague rumors rs to a psymaster's safe, with
twenty thousand dollars in specie, being
somewhere about the wreck. This is a ru-
NOR only, but the divers will take a sharp
look to discover, il possible, anything bearing
the resemblance Of a paymaster's safe.

RESTORING THE FEATURES OF DEAD
Bop,Es.-rhe following process Of restor-
ing the features of a dead body that has
undergone putrefacfion is being applied
with grea, success. The body IS placed IN
a water-tight she'll; twenty pounds Of
common sal, and one pound Of hydroehlo-
ric acid are added to the water, and the
immersion is sustained three hours. The
body is then removed, the face washed
with simple water and then with chlorine
water. and finally a current Of chloride
gas is passed freely over the face The
restoration of the features is thus rendered
so perfect that the body can be positively
identified.

themselves the New England we Won
der it had not been the American
Wool Growers Association And in
the present position of affairs, Mr.. Ham
mond himself may throw great light
upon various controverted points, and
set at rest many injurious rumors which
other Vermont breeders are beginning TO
disseminate. From our Vermont eX-
changes, from our Vermont correspond
ents, from the stories that are beginning
TO be circulated outside of Vermont
we Judge that Mr., Hammond owes 1t to
himself. and his friends and customers,
to pronounce distinctly on certain
points l. VIII he kindly say over his
own signature that he has kept the
Humphreys blood absolutely pure
from his first purchases of Atwood down
TO the present day,-not pure in the
sense of breeding in q cross and breed
ing it out again." but wholly uninter-
mixed with any other broed} ,. Will he
kindly say whether, being thus "abso-
lutely pure" he believes his sheep to be
either Infantadoes or Paularsl 3. viii
he kindly add whether he also calls his
sheep Spanish MerinOs" or Ameri-
can Merinos in other words, whether
he has or has not, permanently adopted
the latter name? He will please bear in
mind that we vsk these questions in no
captious spirit,-that we would not de-
tract an iota from the great credit he
really deserves as breeder,-and that
our only hope is to aid in ending this
long talk about names and families, by
placing the weight of the established
authority on the side of the facts of the
case. The public are now alone inter
ested in what Mr.. Hammond will him
self say, and not in what others may
choose to say for him. Our columns
are open to his reply.

SENsIBLE.-The Cincinnati CONNER
cial, speaking of banquets, festivals,
etc, has the following sensible and
truthful remarks:
1t may as well be said, while on this
subject, that the custom of 'toasting the
press and calling out some of it's rep
resentatives present to respond, is nu-
isance-a bore Of the largest caliber.
Not one professional journalist in
hundred is gifted with CAB His pro
Cesses Of thought are entirely different
from those of the orator off handed
speaker He is accustomed to select
words with view to express in the
least space the greatest number of ideas,
and this becomes mental habit from
which he cannot easily free himself. 1t
is fatal to off hand speaking. Ask him
to write speech, and he would have no
difficulty. He would succeed where the
natural orator would be likely to fail.
what we mean to say is, that the Gus.
tom of toasting the press and it is
usual to postpone it till half the guests
are surcharged with oratory, and the
other half with Champagne--is one of
those civilities which the true journal
list, while he knows it is well meant,
feels to be bore

BIsHoP HoPKlNs.-T Episcopal Re
corder says that Bishop Hopkins, the
presiding bishop, has addressed a circu-
lar letter to the bishops proposing a let
ter to the Southern bishops, to be sign
ed by each of them, and to be sent with
such signatures as may be secured. Its
main point is to assure the Southern
bishops of the cordial welcome with
which the bishops in the loyal dioceses
are prepared to greet them at the COM
ing general convention. 1t takes the
ground that the Episcopal Church had
no part, direct or indirect, in producing
the war. How many bishops there are
who have signed or will sign this letter,
we do not know; but we do know that
six Of them have already declined to
sign it. 1t is rather remarkable, too,
that the Bishop Of New York is one Of
those who have refused their signatures.
We judge from this circumstance that
the bishops who have refused their sig
natures to this document, have done so
from no want of Christian spirit and a
brotherly regard, but from a determina-
tion not to be pledged in advance to any
course which shall hinder such testimo-
ny as they shall feel that duty to God
and the country, and the future, may
demand of them in reference to the sins
Of slavery, schisms and rebellion, and
from an indispOsltion to seem anxious
to purge themselves from the suspicion
of having sanctioned the efforts of the
government to defeat and punish trea-

nation of the war arose from the fact
that the people GOT over singing when

MERINo PEDIGREEs.-" The Country
Gentleman" an agricultural paper,
printed at Albany, N. Y, commences an
article of considerable length with the
interrogatory, "Will the vexed ques-
tions of Merino pedigrees and nomen-
clature ever be set at rest?n After dis
cussing the subject of "Paulars," and
"Intantadoes" and American Merinos,
and concluding that the latter is but
little better than an evasion, the article
closes as follows:
One man as we understand, had the
foresight to perceive the probable fate of

CANDIDATES FOR THE VETERAN Re-
SERVE ON THE SCORE OF "MENrAL DIS
ABILITY" "A former captain in Ver-
mont regiment, who served through the
war, was wounded, and is now captain
in the Veteran Reserve, writes as fol-
lows:
"Since April have been on the exam
lining board for the examination of Off
GERS seeking position or promotion in the
V. r. c. We are not doing anything
just now, as the war department has not
decided as yet, it seems, as to the dis
position that is to be made of the corps.
A major of western regiment came be.
fore the board, one day, and in the ex-
animation told me Gen. Scott command
ed an army during the revolutionary
war, and that Andrew Jackson was our
first president. His historical knowl-
edge was equalled in few days by the
geographical information of Jersey
captain, who said he was really unable
to tell on which continent he lived, or
how the United States was bounded.
This negative information was Offset by
the positive assertion that the White
Mountains were in Maine, the Green
Mountains in Pennsylvania, and Bunk
er's Hill in Vermont Not thinking eth
er of them would be useful or ornarnen-
tai they were rejected, and the major is
now in Hancock's corps. The rest Of
their examination was but little better
than the sample given. 1t brings to
mind the boys advice sent home from
the West, "Come out here father; mighty
mean men get office here"
Wirz's trial is supposed to begin to-
morrow; but the most sanguine are
fearful that Davis is never to be tried.
Secessionists are daily coming back, and
in many cases the fatted calf is killed.
A case happened last week, in the same
street, near my boarding place. A young
man by the name of Barr went south
during the war, served in the rebel army,
and when he returned large party and
ball was given by his friends had a
high time generally. Many, a little
while ago, openly sympathizing with
the south, are now working themselves
into clerkships which wounded and dis
abled soldiers are trying in vain to get.

Miss HANNAH f. GoULD.-We copy
from the New York Herald the follow
ing sketch Of this amiable and gifted
lady who died at Newburyport, Mass,
on Thursday the 9th inst.
In mentioning some OF the pleas
ATTEST" il not the most touching OF
her poems we should think no one would
omit The Freaks of the Frost" and the
"Old Elm of Newbury.
OF that class of our American poets
who may be said to have belonged to
the age which has only Just past as the
present peace began, and whose lives
properly belonged to the threescore and
ten or twenty years which lay between
the two revolutions through which this
country has passed, two have died dur
ing 1S65-Mrs. Sigourney and Hannah
+. Gould. Both were born in the intan-
CIV of the republic, and their songs in
some measure were suggested, not to
say inspired, by the events of the age in
which they were born and lived.
Hannah f. Gould was born in Lam
caster Mass, in 1889. Her father had
| been soldier of the revolution, and had
fought from Lexington and Bunker Hill,
! through Valley Forge to Yorktown, and
was honored as a veteran. Her mother
died young, leaving four children be-
sides Hannah. Two sons are deceased.
BENJAMIN A. Gould was for many years
| the Principal OF the Boston Latin
! School, and the author of series of
| Latin text books now in use. He was
afterwards a successful merchant Of
Boston. Two sisters of the poetess sur
| vive her. One of them is the wife OF
Judge Fuller, of Augusta, Ga, and the
other Mrs. Rapalye, Of this city.
In her Clrlier days Mrs. Gould was
known for her vivacity and wit. Her
efforts were not marked by the inspira-
tion of genius, or always by easy versi-
tication; but they were characterized by
true thought, refined and tender emo
tions, and pure, calm, healthful moral
tone, which made them favorites, and
led to their frequent appearance in print,
both at home and abroad. Among the
pleasantest and most touching of her
poems we recall "The Snow Storm, "
The Veteran and the Child" +" "The Peb.
Bile, "The Scar of Lexington, and "The
Midnight Mail"
Miss Gould lead a quiet life in the
homestead where she dwelt for half a
century, life which would have been
as secluded as it was unostentatious
but for her genial hospitality and the
many visitors, among them not few of
our distinguished authors, who sought
the acquaintance of a lady widely
known as a charming writer when
| American literature was in its infancy,
and when but few of her own sex
Joined her in it's growth. The personal
character of the deceased was of rare
excellence. She united the graces OF a
christian to the attractions of cult
waited mind, and in her pursuit Of letters
never neglected the simplest womanly
duties or failed to exhibit the womanly
virtues of home.

THE Missouri BAPTIsTs.-The state
ment, originating in the st. Louis Re-
publican, that the members of the Gen.
eral Association OF Missouri Baptists
had met at Boonville and agreed not to
take the oath required Of ministers by
the new constitution, is not true. No
General Association of the Baptists of
Missouri has been held, and the meeting
referred to was composed mostly of lay
members of the Baptist denominations
and few preachers, all of whom have
been distinguished during the war for
their sympathy with the rebellion, and
in some cases, for their open treason

THE GENTLE RAIN.-Last Wednesday
there were partial showers in different
places, which had the effect to clay the
dust" where the rain fell, and to re-
lieve the sultriness Of the atmosphere
generally. Saturday and Sunday the
rain was more general, though by no
means powerful. Much more is needed,
as the ground is exceedingly parched,
and the springs and many Of the streams
are almost entirely dry.
