Col. Mosby on Creeley,s Nomination.

The famous eX-Confederate, Col. John
Il. Mosby, has written letter to Capt,
Babcock, of Richmond in which he ex-
presses his views of the Cincinnati nonNi+'
nee in plain language:
Tell me one single reason why South
ern man should prefer Greeley to Grant =
They say that Greeley is honest ; then so
much the worse if he is honestly opposed
to all hold dear. They say he has abus-
ed carpet baggers, which, by the by, are
only the natural product of institutions
that he planted among us but as he is in
debted to this class, who assumed at Sin+
cinnati to represent the South, for his
nomination surely honest Horace, if cleo t.
ed, will not go back on his friends. They
say, too, that he is the friend OF amnesty,
and yet he advocated the impeachment OF
Johnson for pardoning rebels. On his re-
cent electioneering tour through the South,
when he looked on the land which he
chad made a solitude and called it peace,
his heart was for a moment touched with.
a sentiment of pity for the Southern people

words for which he was swift to make
atonement, when on his return to New
York he related to gaping crowd of his

Isaiah tells us, cooked their break fast with

image of the other which they wo rshipped,
were not more unreasoning idolat ors than
those who are now prostrating tn emselves
before Horace Greeley. In both cases
the virtues of the idol exist only in the i'm

THE METHODIST BISHOPS.

One of the most interesting questions
before the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, new in ses-
sion at Brooklyn, was the election of eight
Bishops. On Tuesday, five of these Bish-
ops were elected, as appeared in our dis
patches yesterday morning, to-wit I: DIR.
w. l.. Harris, of Ohio; DIR. II. 5. Fos-
ter, of New York; DIR. Thomas Bow
man, reported "Boreman, of Upper
New Jersey, and DIR. Merrill of Ohio.
DIR. Harris has been Secretary of the
the Missionary Society. He is an active
man, in the Vigor of manhood, an able
theologian, an eloquent preacher and
man of great personal popularity.
DIR. Foster is, and has been for sometime
past, President of the Drew Theological
Seminary, of New York, where he has
achieved success. He is man of great
intellectual strength and will prove good
selection.
Thomas Bowman is President of the
Asbury University, located at Greencas-
tle Indiana, and is one of the most schol-
arly and accomplished educators in the
church. 1t has been said that he would
more perfectly fill the place vacated by
the lamented Bishop Baker than any man
in the church. The telegraph reports this
Thomas Foreman, of Iowa, but we think
this must be mistake.
DIR. Wiley is the editor OF the Ladies
Repository at Cincinnati, periodical
which has become to be considered dc
sider0tum in the households where it has
visited.
DIR. Merrill has OBLIGATED for the past
four years as editor of the Western AdUo-
cate at Cincinnati. and has filed the posi-
ton with credit to himself and to the
church.
On Wednesday the remaining Bishops
provided for were elected, the choice of the
Conference being DR. Jesse L. Peck, of New
York ; DIR. Gilbert Haven, of Massachu-
sets, and DIR. e. G.. Edwards, of New
York.
DIR. Peck is one of family which has
been prolific of minister. His parents
were the parents of fourteen Methodist and
one Baptist Minister. He is President of
the Syracuse University, and is a man of
great ability. He is siXty-one years
old.
DR.. Haven is editor of Zion'S Herald and
is noted for his plainness.of speech on all
the vital questions of the day. He is a
very striking representative of progressive
New England ideas.
DR.. Andrews is leading minister in
the Empire State, and is noted for his
preaching qualities and his general ability.
He is so universally known as the other
Bishops elect, but will make his mark in
his new and responsible position.

GREELEY's LETTER OF ACCEPTANcE.

Horace Greeley's letter of acceptance is
given to the public at last. He says he
has waited thus long before accepting the
nomination to see how it is received by
the country at large. Finding from his
congratulatory dispatches, and the COM
ments OF newspapers, independent OF. Off
cial patronage and indifferent to the
smiles or frowns of power,n that his NOM
ination has received the stamp of public
approval, he accepts the honor. In 9TH
er words, Horace has been anXiously wait
ing to see if he could be elected before ac-
cepting the race. No one will blame him
for this. He ought not to ruin his "TrOm-
done' and forever injure himself by run
ming for President in IA hopeless race.
But, then, it would have been more manly
if he had openly said so.
The misfortune in this letter of accept
ance is, that it reads like frs. class puff
of Horace Greeley and the Cincinnati
movement. The people pretty generally
understand that movement now and they
do not agree with him very well as to his
Judgment of it. If lie had carefully ask
ed himself how many Republicans were
in his favor, or what chances there were
for his doing good for the great principles
he has advocated for a lifetime, he would
have found that he could not do ii by an
alliance with his enemies, who combine
forces with him not because they admire
him or surrender their convictions but be-
cause they hate Grant. II he had honestly
searched for public opinion on this point
and in his inquiries had looked to those apho
hare been his friends. for tuenty yedrsinstead
Of TO his enemies, he certainly would have
learned that his present position is
not one his sincere friends wish him
to occupy. His letter is Greeley-ish
and betrays that want of Judgment and
knowledge of men that make him an un-
safe man TO rule people. He brands at
one stroke of the pen ninety-nine-hun-
dredths Of the Republican press of the
United States us journals not "independ-

old man consents to allow his name to be
used by his lifelong enemies, to batter

SOME of the anti-Grant journals seem to-
enjoy the reported Indian outbreaks on
the Western frontier, with kind of hell
ish glee. In order that they might point
to the Presidents Indian policy as o fail
ure, they would be willing, nay, are even
anxious, to see the settler weltering in his
own blood, and to hear the wild war
whoOp of the red man, and see him reek-
ing his vengeance upon unprotected wo-
men and children. To such straits as
these, are the enemies of Grant forced.
Oh shame, where is thy blush

SOME days ago W blished some ex-
tracts from Gratz Browns speeches and
letters favoring the policy of driving the
"rebelsn out of Missouri by force, Oh the
ground that it was impossible for the 10y
al and disloyal erer to live together in that
State. We then asked the Greeley organ
of this city if 1t wished to be understood as
endorsing such sentiments, in its present
sudden conversion to Radicalism of the
EXTREMIST character.
We now invite the attention of the same
sheet to this extract from the New York
Tribune of Nov. Goth, 1861, and ask it il it
endorses this part OF its candidates. record
1t was Greeley's anathema after his fail
ure to induce the North to let the "way-
ward sisters depart in peace":
Therefore shall We initiate the South no
more In war than in peace. When the
rebellous traitors are overwhelmed in the field,
and scattered like leaves before an angry wind,
It must not be TO return to peaceful and con-
tented homes. They must find povertyat their
! hresides, and sec privation in the anxious ewes
| of mothers and the rags Of children"

A BALTIMORE hen has laid q remarkable
egg, which creates profound excitemen5
among the astute Democratic politicians
of that ancient and renowned city. The
egg is marked with q well defined letter
&C." which is thought to be prophetic of
the result of the Presidential canvass. The
question is, whether it foreshadows the
success of Greeley or Grant The wise
men of the party have consulted the
oracles upon its Specification, and the con-
clusion arrived at is that as the letter is
big &c" it means Greeley, and not Grant
They are happy. This settles the question
of the Baltimore ticket. Greeley will be
nominated, and that hen will go down in
the future history of our country as pub
lie benefactress.
