up in Trinity Church. The altar ao

Of their sins through faith in the

on the part Of the Church members

an unusual and powerful work of
grace are apparent. We presume the

The Alabama Legislature have
passed resolutions approving the
Administration of President John
son, and declaring that their repre-
sentatives should be at once admit
ted.
The Military Committee OF the
House have agreed to report a bill
creating the office of General. The
Naval Committee will probably soon
report in favor of the rank of Ad-
miral.
1t is rumored that the O'Mahony
Fenians intend petltioning Secretary
Seward to intcrpose in behalf of the
Americans under arrest in Ireland as
Fenian conspirators.
Ex. Governor Moorhead, of North
Carolina, has been arrested by the
military authorities for interfering
with the sale of property previously
advertised to be sold.
Great destitution is reported rs
prevailing throughout Alabama. 1t
is estimated that almost two million
dollars will be required to supply the
wants Of the needy.
The dentists of this State are ur-
ging upon the legislature the passage
of bill forbidding any one to prac-
tice the profession unless duly Ii
censed by the Dental Association.
rliey contend that this Is necessary
to suppress dental quackery.

One Moie swindie.

A great excitement was created il
West Chester, Penn, one day last
week, by the conduct of gentleman
who drove up in front of the princl,
pie hotel in the village, and began
scattering genuine five and ten cent
currency among the crowd which
gathered around him. Having at.
tracted the attention of the populace,
he sold a ten dollar bill for five dol,
lars, and the five dollar bill received
also Tor half its value. He then sold
a quantity of gold rings at merely
nominal prices, and handed back to
purchasers the money rs fast rs re,
ceived. The eccentric peddler then
produced some medalions, which he
said were very valuable, and which
and the method of his dealings having
become generally known, were very
rapidly disposed of at ten dollars
each. Having closed out his stock
the peddler remarked: ~ didn't say
| would give you your money bacl
on these" and left town on the mex
train. The West obstetrics pro
ceeded to add up their gains, wher
they discovered that their medalion
were worthless, and that notwith
standing the strangers liberal deal
ings, they were in the end about IS,
out Of pocket. Although so green an,
excitable, the villagers had the pres
ence of mind to telegraph to Phila
delphia, and the swindler was arres
ted there. 1t may interest some Q
our readers to know that he gave hi
name as John Smith.

Northern men who have gone
South to reside since the closing out
Of the rebellion are finding it both
unsafe and Improbable to receive
through mails, from their old homes
newspapers OF anti.slavery proclivi
ties. AS one has recently expressed
the fact, "the only way that North.
ern man can live there in safety, out
side of military post, is to profess
to be Democrat with Southern pro,
cliyities."

Copperheads arc in the habit oil
slccfully remarking that, "the Union
men in the South are 10th to have
their States Immediately assume theiI
fuctions in the Union, while the reb
els are anxious to do so at the soon
est possible moment" 1t is proba-
bly, true and there is god reason
for it. The Union men of the South
have spent five horrible years under
rebel rule and know the beauty Of it
Naturally enough they do not wan,
to be tied hand and foot and thrown
into the rebels hands, which would
certainly follow were the rebels to
succeed in their aims. The rebels
are anxious to return, though not
from any love that they bear the
Government, but that they may, with
the help of their facile tools in the
North, get their former control oi
everything, and grind down the
staunch Union men of the South, and
the freedmen.

The Senate, on Tuesday, was chief
ly occupied in listening to long
speech by Mr.. Sumner, in support OF
his bill lately introduced in lieu of
the constitutional amendment OF the
House. In the House bills were in
trodueed providing for the taking of
the next census, and for the removal
of the capital. A resolution was
offered to inquire INTO the expedi-
ency of reporting a bill to levy contri-
buttons in the seeded States to defray
the expenses Of a standing army. A
long and very interesting debate then
arose upon the Freedmen's Bureau
bill, providing for the enlargement OF
the power OF the Bureau, during
which Mr.. Mckee, of Kentucky,
again distinguished himself by an
able speech. The debate was con-
tinued in the evening.
A correspondent OF the London
Morning Post, says: ut is reported
in diplomatic circles that a private
understanding exists between thu
Governments of Great Britain ant
Washington, by which the claim'
made BY America for the losses q
sea will be amicably arranged"

A Winters Night in Minnesota,

On Thursday evening there was pre-
scented to the wondering eyes Of our
citizens most beautiful and singular
display Of lunar light. Il differed
widely in extent and beauty from any
thing of the kind we have ever seen,
reminding one Of the descriptions Civ.
en- by DR.. Kane Of the phenomena wit
messed by him in the Polar regions do.
ring his Artic explorations.
The moon, which had not quite
reached its first quarter was about
twenty degrees above the Western ho-
rizon when the celestial exhibition was
opened by beautiful ring Of light ex.
tending from the moon completely
around the heavens parallel to the ho-
rizon, while TO the northeast and south.
east, in this. were two bright spots Of
light, or "moon dogs" which seemed
the, more remarkable from their being
almost 10 the opposite side of the hea-
vens.
Around the moon there was a bright
circle, as is often noticed before q
storm and on each side Of it, where
the small circle iutersected the larger
one, were two more bright spots OF
light.
This, in itself, was wonderful sight;
but, to add to its splendor, four beauti.
ful fans Of light, the trains Of as many
comets, stretched away above, below,
10 the right and left, at right angles
from the moon, while far up above, in
the zenith. a golden crescent some ten
degrees in diameter and bright with
the hues of the Bow of Promise that
shone over Arabia's desert mountain,
shed down its soft light, browning as
witt . diadem Of glory the splendors
Of the night.
During all this wonderful display
the air was filed with sparkling crys.
tails Of frost falling in gentle shower
and sprinkliDg all the cold earth with
rich jewels Of purity. Indeed ittwas
= beautiful sight and one to be not
soon forgotten. We are unable to see
how any one can look upon such dis.
play Of the Infinite power, as porten.
