1t is upon the national considerations here

we have not left the discussion quite free from
points OF UNCONVENTIONAL Inference charge
which we now distinctly repel-we are free TO

years ago by a mission of their own. They did
not DO SO, however, and we now have an English
Bishop asking for American aid. But says our

of the United. States as such, but to Episcopal
ians to support an Episcopal Mission We trust,
however that in considering this subject, no
member of the American Episcopal Church will
forget that, in whatever character anybody may
choose TO address him, he still remains a citizen
of the United States, and that even in support

that. considering the past history of England and
the unscrupulous extension of her influence, she
is the last power on earth in whose behalf, even
in movements Of the fairest external appearance,
an exemption from suspicion can be conceded or
scrupulous inquiry be safely forborne by any
true American.

application OF Bishop Staley OF Honolulu for anu

on the whole matter, before thus entering for

your readers upon the following points
FIrSt-Has not the French Emperor undertake

fleet q Roman Catholic mission? And has he
not endeayored 10 practise the same by intrigue
in the sandwich Islands?
NcoHd-Did not the Roman Church gain many
converts, both in Tahiti and in the Sandwich
Islands. from among the islanders? Were they
not attracted TO that worship by that very thing
which they missed from the worship to which
they had been accustomed since their conversion!
IhUd-Did not the King of the Sandwich
Islands or at least the government of the Tahiti
Islands. appeal 10 the people of this country for
protection from French i~ntrigueS, and were they
not repealed?
Fourh-Was not the appeal made TO England

1t will be remembered that the brigade of
Sta1nard held an advanced poir on Hancocks
left AS the assaulting column passed his
right to strike Webb, he moved to the right,
changed front forward, and opened a very
savage fire on the enemy's flank. At the
same time, the colors of the different regiments
were advanced in defiance of the long line of
battle hags presen ted by the Confederates, and
the men pressing firmly after them engap ed
in q brief aad determined combat aud utterly
overthrow the foe. Whatsoever valor could
do to wrest victory from the jaws of hell, that
it must be conceded the troops of Pickett had
done but now, seeing themselves In des-
perate strait, they flung themselves on the
ground to escape the hot fire, and thew up
their hands in token of surrender, while the
remnant sought safety in fight. Twenty-Five
hundred prisoners and twelve battle-hags were
taken at thfs point, which brought the aggre-
gate of Hancock's captures up to four thou
sand five hundred prisoners and twenty seven
standards. The Confederate loss in KILLED
and wounded was exceedingly severe. Of the
three brigade commanders of Pickett's divis-
ion, Garnett was killed, Armistead fell fatally
wounded within the Union lines, and kemper
was borne off severely hurt. In addition, 1t
left behind fourteen of its feld-othcers, and
only q singe one of that rank escaped uuhurt,
while of It's rank aud file three tourths were
dead or captlvts. Pettigrew's division, also,
though it had fatered earlier, was much cut
up and lost many officers, besides heavily in
killed, wounded and prisoners But this IL
lustrious victory was not purchased without
severe price paid and this was sadly attested
III the thousands of dead and wounded that
lay on the plain. The loss in ofcers was

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AT NKRGBNNEa-
The centennial jubilee at Vergennes, August
2lst, was q credltable affair. Speeches were
made by Hon. Bliss N. Davis, Gen. Grandey,
and Hon. F. E. Woodbridge. A historical
discourse was read by Lieut.. Southland, an ode
was written for the occasion by Mr.. George
Parker, and touching "reminiscences were Civ
en- of thirty-three years of teaching, by Mr..
Benjamin B. Allen, The veteran school-master.
In the evening there was brilliant levee,
interspersed with short but interesting re-
marks from several ciergymen and physicians,
Messrs. Woodbridge, Bliss N. Davis, Lieut..
Gov. Burnam Martin, Henry C. johnson, Esq,
Editor of the Vergennes Vermonter, and 9TH
ers, made suitable replies to sentiments offered
by Major Grsndey. President of the day.
Choice vocal and instrumental music enli-
vened the exercises. A procession to the
grave of Donald Mcintosh, the first settler of
Vergennes, and some dirges near the grave,
and some excellent music in the open air,
constituted the most noticeable feature of this
celebration.
This happily conceived thought was carried
out in good taste and with much feeling.
The memorial-stone at the grave of the brave
old ocotchmad, was erected at the sole expense
of the Hon. Edward Seymore, of vergennes,
and it stands on the farm of his mother, Mr..
Belden Ssymore, . venerable lady now
| years OF age.
