openly expressed. He differs from us in his
estimate OF his powers, aud in views of public

OF Sherman's advance upon Savannah We
copy the following paragr aphs ..-
The gradual approach of eur lines was very
much annoyed by the torpedo traps which the
memy had ingeniously disposed along the
roads leading into Savannah. They were so
perfectly covered with earth as to be almost
unnoticeable. The slightest pressure of a foot
upon the small plug, alone left exposed above
the surface, suticed to explode them
Gen. Sherman overcame the danger by a
reugeful expedient. He ordered that the rebel
prisoners in cur hands should be compelled,
whenever any new approach was made, to go
before the troops upon their hands and knees,
ind the torpedoes, and dig them out. These
voyages OF discovery were so unpleasant as to
provoke lively but unavailing circumstances.
The work had to be done. The prisoners were
sent in advances as ordered. Crawling, begging,
praying as their trembling fingers descended
to dig away the earth about the death traps
which they had, perhaps. helped to set, they
were piteous spectacle.

Episcopal Convention of western New
York

Bishop Coke, formerly pastor Of Grace
Church in Baltimore, made an interesting adj
dress before the Episcopal Convention Of
Western New York, few days ago We
give the following. extracts:
The question arises as to the restoration Of
legislative unity with our brethren of the
South. Essential unity has never been for a
minute suspended; and now, it seems to me,
that nearly all questions between us and them
will be settled by the calling of the roll of the
Convention, and by their appearing and
answering to their names. The case of the
Bishop of Alabama, elected and consecrated
during the war, admits of no doubt, and pre-
sents no great difficulty. The validity of his
conservation is acknowledged but certain
measures will be necessary, as in the case of
Bishop Seabury, who was consecrated in Scot
land, to give the new Bishop canonical po-
slton. In due time, we cannot doubt, our
Southern brethren will all be found again in
their places, and how shall they be received ?
Can there be any question How was it in
the day when all Israel was restored to David?
"Shall there be any man put to death this
day in Israel ?" If our brethren have erred,
surely they have suffered; if any punishment

lister of wrath. 1t is our blessed privilege to
forgive, and as Christians, at least, to remem-
Der no more what we committed to Gods
arbitration, and what, in His Providence, is
settled and gone by. On the great national
questions that divided us no man felt more
deeply, nobody acted more conscientiously
than myself. felt that there could be but
one issue to the war, consistent with truth and
justice, the cause of humanity and of our holy
religion. But, trust, such convictions were
not polluted by resentful impulses, nor by
worse instincts Of revenge, hatred and malice
And now, when all is over, what can Chris
tan find within him but a warm revival of
old affections and friendships, and a longing
for the old fraternal counsels and commun-
ings. Let the power of our religion be seen
and felt by all our countrymen. Let us adj
dress ourselves to the new and trying emer-
gencies created by the new condition of things
in the Southern States. Let us feel that such
is the highest service we can now render to
our country, and that it is in our power, as a
church, to do more, perhaps, than any others,
in the way. And as nature has begun al
ready to cover over the red fields of war with
her peaceful harvests and her refreshing ver-
dure, so let Grace mantle the past with char
ity, and make the infirmities of men give
place to the fruits of the spirit.

PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE.-The supply
last week 93,551 tons, against 96,s60 for the
corresponding week last year. The trade
continues brisk the demand for ccal is good,
and prices firm. 1t is mainly owing to the
fact that there will be an advance of fifty
cents a ton on tolls on the LIST of September,
and orders are coming in freely to anticipate
the advance The stock in market, however,
is not large for the season, and that fact may
cause satisfactory demand during the re-
mainder Of the year. At most of the Ashland
colleries the men still stand out for an adj
vance Of wages. 1t is anticipated that a
compromise will be effected, and that the men
will shortly go to work again. Philadelphia
