THE ATTEMPTED AssAssINArGoN.-The
New York journals of Friday contains des'
patches stating that an attempt was made
upon the life OF the Car, and not on that OF
Napoleon. The following is the despatch:
PARIS, June CA cowardly attempt was
made this afternoon TO assassinNle the Em-
perOr of Russia, while driving back from
The grand review with the Emperor NapO-
leon. In the Imperial carriage at the time
were the Gar, his two sons, and the En-
peror of France.
The attempt was made while they were re-
turning through the Bots de Boulogne. A
young man, about twenty years of age, fired Il
pistol at the Car. II would seem that the
pistol was overloaded, and exploded, wound
ing the hand of the assassin. 1t is said a
bystander threw up the arm OF the wretch
as he fired the pistol and that he was instant
" cut down by the escort, and made pris-
oner, severely wounded.
The Imperial carriage passed on without
| halting. 1t is supposed the Villains Il Pole,
for Just previous to the attempt, cries oil
Wire Ia P0lognei" were heard. The I'M
pcrial party escaped injury. A thousand
rumors are in circulation and there is great
excitement in Paris. No further facts are
positively known than the attempted assassi'
nation, the escape of the Gar, and the seiz
urc Of the assassin.
The Gar will receive universal congratu
latons This is his second escape from as
slssination.

THE EplsoorAL CONVENTION.


spsc,al Correspondence OF Ms journal and Saieman.
SMYRNA, June 9th, 1867.
The Annual Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Della
ware. held its sessions in this place, yester
day and to-day. A more dignified and re-
spectable body OF clergy and laymen we are
not likely TO have assemble in our midst;
and their character for piety and learning
none will dispute They well represented
that distinguished branch of Chrlst's Holy
Catholic Church, which has such strength
in this country, and which is gradually rising
within the bounds of this commonwealth.
AS the State advances in intelligence and
wealth, MS we are happy 10 believe ii is
rapidly doing, the Episcopal Church will
advance with it. Her scriptural doctrines,
her ancient worship and polity, the elevated
standing of her members, as well as the
generation and regard attaching to her long
career and history, will command the ad-
miration and love of the intelligent and
thoughtful.
The sessions OF this body, for business, as
well as The different religious services, were
conducted with u decorum and pTopriety
that must have favorahly impressed every
beholder. And the whole visit of this body,
its religious services, its business meetings,
and the social intercourse OF its members
with our citizens, must have left an abiding
and pleasant recollection. The whole thing
was much enjoyed by those interested and
participating; and the wish was general that
the Convention might come oltener and
linger longer.
The Convention was pleased 10 acknow.
ledge its grateful sense OF kind attentions be-
slowed and iayors received, by several resou
tons which were introduced, hya warm yoi'
OF thanks TO the community Of Smyrna, TO
the hearty and liberal manner in which IL hat
: been received and entertained. Among th'
, acts of the Convention, which deserve par
ticular notice, was the following resolution
which was passed unanimously, and whicl
. We humbly trust, may not be word utter
ed in vain;
Resolped, That in view of the wide-sprea
D and increasing influences of intemperanc
i in our country, which is one Of the creates
: evils of the day destructive of morality ain

d recommend to the Parish cergymcn of til
Diocese, to preach at least one sermon al

this church are hereby earnestly and affection

~ well by precept as example, TO restrain tn
1 great evil, and promote the cause OF tempe

TO ARREST BLEEDING.-A very simple
means is offered to us to stop bleeding from
wounds, or from the nose, or when caused by
leeches, in the use of wadding pressed Tor
some minutes by the fingers on the bleeding
part. Another powerful preventive is found
in the porsulphate of iron, a preparation of
which, known as Monsel's salts, was much
used in military hospitals during the war.
The bleeding surface is to be touched with a
spongue or piece of lint covered with the
powder or molstened with the solution. A
remarkable case is related by Dr. Wetherly,
of New York, in which inhalation OF very
dry persuphate of iron, reduced to an i'm
palpable powder, entirely arrested bleeding
from the lungs, after all the usual remedies,
lead, opium, &c, had failed. A small guam
tity was administered by drawing into the
lungs every hour during part OF the night
and the following day.

THE GIRLS TO THE YouNG MEN.-The

notion, So far from poverty being mis-

THE ANDERsoEvlLLE LEAGUE-DAvIs TO
BE KILLED IF FOUND ON UNITED STATES
SOFIA Washington correspondent OF the
Erie (Pennsylvania) Despatch, writes ms
follows which he says he can testify to -
When it was found that Davis was tn 20
on bail, a matter which every one here looks
upon as virtual discharge, the excitement
among the veteran soldiers knew no bounds
The result had been published days before,
and, half expecting it, n meeting was pri-
vately called, at which some sixty disclarg
ed soldiers were present, who bound them
| selves saercdly together under the name Of
the "Andersonville League" every member
subscribing TO solemn oath that if Justice
failed in its duty they would take Justice in
their own hands. This brotherhood no man
was qualified to enter but who had suffered
either from wounds or imprisonment in the
rebel pens during the war. 1t now extends
to New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
| While the bail was being arranged by the
Court at Richmond on the day set for the
trial, paper was handed IN to Davis cOun-
sci, Charles O'Connor, OF New York, warn.
ing him of the existence of such league,
and naming two men III the courtroom as
members. These men were seized as soon
as they left the room, on mock charge, and
taken to Jail, and were not released until 4
week after, when Davis was in New York
1t will be remembered that Davis arrived iii
New York during the night; that lie kept
secluded as much as possible while at the
New York Hotel, no one being admitted but
those who were personally known to some
one of the party; that he was suddenly re
moved one night from the hotel to Brooklyn
where he remained until his departure; thai
he left New York alone and in disguise fol
Montreal, his party and family following
only when he had telegraphed them of hi.
safe arrival. When ii is understood that the
brotherhood were upon his track and tia
is easily accounted for. According to In
oath, as long MS he remains upon foreFi
ground lie Is safe; so it is hardly probable
that he will again set foot upon the soil o
the United States, at least not until he feel
easier in mind than nj present.
