ime and thought as this one. It is said by one of his biographers, that those afterwards engaged in getting out the speech as a campaign document were three weeks in verifying the statements and finding the historical records referred to and consulted by him. This is probably a little over-stated as to time, but unquestionably the work of verification and reference was in any event a very labored and extended one. Mr. Lincoln obtained most of the facts of his Cooper Institute speech from Eliott's Debates on the Federal Constitution. There were six volumes, which he gave to me when he went to Washington in 1861. The day following the Cooper Institute meeting, the leading New York dailies published the speech in full, and made favorable editorial mention of it and of the speaker as well. It was plain now that Lincoln had captured the metropolis. From New York he travelled to New England to visit his son Robert, who was attending college. In answer to the many calls and invitatio

ge of the North Chickamauga. This division had only to cross the river to come on the day after a victory to offer valuable co-operation with Grant's forces. But he thought best to deprive himself of it, and employ it to disperse the guerillas collected in the vast rectangle between McMinnville, Murfreesborough, Lebanon, and the confluence of Caney Creek with the Cumberland River; for these bands sometimes menaced the communications and the depots of the army. On the 14th of November, General Eliott, who had succeeded Mitchell in the chief command of the cavalry, went with McCook's division to establish himself at Alexandria, a town situated in the middle of that region. Later, Grant had much occasion to regret his absence. Such was the plan of attack which on the 16th of November he went to explain to his two principal lieutenants from the top of the hills that overlook the right bank of the Tennessee opposite the mouth of the South Chickamauga.

sects, some of which even denied the doctrine of Trinity. He thought it time that the Church should take itself out of the number of sects designated by this objectionable term. He was not in favor of the amendment substituting "Reformed Catholic." Reform could not in any just sense be predicated of Catholicity. It was an essential note of the Church, and it would be as well to talk of reformed sun or moon, as Reformed Catholic. He was content with the title of Episcopal Church. Bishop Eliott found a sufficient reason for adhering to the word Protestant in the fact that in faith we protest against the decrees of the Council of Trent, in worship against the Mass and the in vocation of Saints, and in discipline against the supremacy of the Pope.--The current of theological writings in England recognized the Protestant Churches of the Continent as such, although they might be imperfect. Rev. Mr. Pinckney was willing to concede the evils associated with the term Protestant,

rivilege to any State that can. Mr. Williams said that State in this clause means province — nothing more nor less. This would be settling everything at issue. Bishop Elliott had been convinced that the provincial feature could not be carried. --Thought the best thing they could hope to accomplish would be to give to each State the control of the matter within its own limits. On taking the vote the amendment was lost. The whole clause then came up for consideration. Bishop Eliott moved to lay it on the table, which was lost. There was considerable discussion upon it. Dr. Hubbard was struck with the fact that members were so near together. All seemed to think the provincial system must be adopted soon, and a Constitution should be prospective. Upon a call for a vote by orders, the clause was adopted. Judge Battle moved to strike out the word "five," and insert "three, " so as to give each Diocese three clerical and three lay deputies in council.

It is my duty as the representative of this Government, to see that you are placed in a position to that the least possible harm can result from your proceedings.

war could never restore the Union." "It should be stopped," &c. Admiral Porter's Narration of the construction and Career of his "Dummy Monster." A private letter, says a Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, creates much amusement in Cabinet circles. It seems that Porter was surprised to learn on the 25th February, that the ram Queen of the West was at Warrenton, seven miles below Vicksburg, with steam up, and the rebel flag flying. The account Porter had received from Eliott led him to suppose that the Queen was in such condition that she could not be repaired for some time. "I knew," says Porter. "that Brown could take care of the Webb by himself but I have no idea that he could take care of the Queen and the Webb, both amusing him at the same time. The Indianola is a weak vessel, and the only good thing about her is her battery." He proceeds to say that during the running of the blockade by the Queen and Indianola five rebel guns were burst and dismounted in
