Before leaving Hampton Roads, and
while waiting for the army to provide
troops for the land part Of this expcdi-
ton, sent the monitors Canonicus, Ma
hopac and Saugus up the James river to
try what they could do with the rebel
batteries at Howlett's and above that
point. At Howlett's the enemy had .
heavy gun mounted "a 200 FOUNDER
Brooke rifle), which was frequently fired
at the monitors, but seldom hitting them.
One of their shells or shots, however,
struck the Saugus fair on the turret, and
knocked out and loosened forty bolts.
This was owing to tho bolts being
driven from inside to out, instead Of from
outside to in. The turret was not ms-

The BISHOP ELECT OF TENNEssEE.-The
Mobile Advertiser, in noticing the election Of
the Rev. DR.. c. T. Quintard, of Nashville,
as Bishop of the Diocese of Tennessee, re-
marks:
There are thousands of people of all denomi-
nations throughout the South who will re-
ioice to hear this. There is in the South no
minister of the,.Gospel who is more universally
beloved than DR.. Quintard. He is one of the
purest and best of men This fact he impress
ses upon the minds of all with whom he comes
in contact, which is one of the secrets Of the
universal esteem and reverence in which he is
is held He is an able divine and charming
speaker, and he has always been the idolof his
church. 1t is very rare that a minister at his
age attains the high position to which he has
been called. DR.. Quaintard will long be re-
membered with love and gratitude by thou
sands of the soldiers in the late war, for whom
he labored both as chaplain and surgeon. There
was no chaplain with the armies of the South
who labored more constantly or more success
fully to promote the comfort and spiritual well
fare of the soldiers than did Mr. Qintard,
and none enjoyed in higher degree the love
and confidence of all, whether in the army or
out of it. -t II ~

SOUTHERN ITEMS.

MILITARY AND CIVIL OFFICERS. Major
General Terry, commandment of the Depart
ment of Virginia, has issued an order, which
was deemed necessary to protect the agents of
the General Government against civil actions
for the faithful performance of their duty
under martial law. As will be seen, the order
not only dismisses all actions taken against
military officers, agents of the Freedmens
Bureau, and agents of the Treasury Depart
ment, for their official acts, but it authorizes
the arrest OF any attorney, magistrate or any
other person who may institute proceedings
against those agents for anything done in their
official capacity Richmond Republic.

One evening during the early part of the
week, a robbery was effected in a novel way
upon grocery kept by Mr. Harlow, on the
upper end of Royal street. The ground in
that section ofthe city being low and swampy,
the house in which the robbery was committed
is built on piles, which project to the level of
the street While the proprietor was out on
neighborly visit, the thief, with an augur,
bored through the floor, at point over which
stood barrel of whisky, and through the bot

The Candidates for Congress in the 5th dis

the well known Dr. Stovall of Halifax, seems
to be something of a wag; the Danville Register
gives the following account of what took place
at meeting in that district.
The question of admission to Congress is
Stoves hobby. He maintains that he could
get on, while others who are opposing him
could not In a recent speech at Halifax Court
House, he illustrated the situation of affairs
by supposing that the candidates were all cleo
ted and were asking admission to seats in Con-
gress. First Mr.. Foot johnson goes up. He

citizen, the proposition meets with favor, and
is thus seconded by the Boston Evening Coat-

We heartily second the motion No better
Union man than Mr.. Stephens ever lived. He
was compelled in the whirlwind of madness
which swept over the South, to go along with

specially to the District.
Under existing circumstances it is not my pre-
sent purpose to canvass the District by any public
discussion, preferring to leave the voters of the
District to exercise their free and unbiased will in
the premises.
If l should become your representative, shall
devote my earnest 'endeavors to promote the well
fare of the country; and whilst supporting the
integrity of the Union, shall not forget the rights
of the States and of the people.
