History Misquoted.
The California Express of Nov. 27th, in
an article over the caption of “Why not
confiscate ?’”’ uses the following laoguage :
“It isa matter of history, tbat a large party
in New England, during the war of 1812,
were opposed to it, Not a mere handful,
kut a powerful party, headed by euch
men as Jobn Q, Adams, Josiah Quiney, and
others.”
We eboald like the Express to state what
history contains this information, We had
always supposed Jobn Quincy Adams an
active aider of the war of 1812 ; and if we
are not mistaken, he resigned bis seat in
Congress ratber than follow the instructions
of his constituents to oppose the war.—
Hither the Express bas written on a subject
it knows pothing about, or we have read
history to no purpose.
It strikes us as exceedingly strange, if
John Quiney Adams was opposed to the
. war, that he should be chosen by Mr. Madison as one of the parties tomake a treaty
of peace at Ghent, in company with Mr.
Clay, who was an eloquent supporter of the
war,
The trathis, John Quincy Adams was
. pot a member of the Hartford Coavention,
nor a supporter of any party that rendered
aid and comfort to the enemies of bis country in 1812, or at any otber time in nis Jife.
. On the contrary, he was an active partisan
of the war, and did as much to sustain the
Government in condacting it as any other
. civilian except the gifted Clay.—[Sap Juan
Presa,
Division IN THE Episcopa Cuurch.—
The Episcopal Recorder asserts that a “separation between the advocates and rejeetors .
of sacramental Episcopacy seems immi.
nent.’ Thisis owing to the assumption,
by Bishhps Lay, Polk, Green and others, of
“the absolute power of the Bishop, as the
. divine representative, to govern his dioeese
and alter its liturgy and government at bis
pleasure.’’ In the exercise of his power,
the Bishop in the various seceding States,
with the exception of the diocese of North
Carolina, have changed the liturgy, and
. autborized the clergy to alter the service.
Against this assumption of power, the Lawchurch Episcopalians seem determined to
wage a vigorous and persistent warfare,—

Fossi, Remains Near Curnatowy, N. T.
—W.M. Murray inferms tbe Territorial
Enterprise that about two miles south-east
of Dayton (Chinatown) there is a formation
of sand-stone, on the southern edge of the
coal fields, with thirteen prints or footmarks
of an animal, whose species is now supposed
to be extinct. The foot-prints measure .
fourteen inches in length. Those who pretend to know say it resembles the track of
alarge moose. The geological formation
indicates that the prints were made more
than a thousand years ago. Mr. Sterling,
of that place, is having the marks excavated from their bed to be sent to the World’s
Fair in London.

Tue Recorder of Albany, New York, haa

perfect right to enier any place of amusement in the city without paying,
Democrat, .
Rassell among the Yankees,
Fhe London Times’ American correspone
dent has latterly been sojourning with tbe
Yankees, and writes as follows from Worcester Mass,
And first, in regard to the probabilities
of any social disturbances should the war
continue, I would say that there is not the
slightest probability of any such thing. I
have seen no signs of such coming events
anywhere—not even in New York, where
the largest roving population is gathered.
Least of all are there such signs in the manufacturing districts, On the contrary, here
are to be seen the greatest evidences of
thrift and prosperity. The large, well-filled
baros. and comfortable farm-houses and
well-stocked pastures, tell their owo story
for the farmers. Thefmills (with the excep»
tien of the cotton mills, which have either
stopped or are running on short time) and
the mechanics’ shops are ia full operation,
giving constant employment to all the operatives ; and the shops of the country traders appear to be well stocked with goods
and with purchasers, which is, perbaps, as
ood a proof of prosperity ascaa be given.
o all quarters I hear the same story of recent prostration and depression and of reviving prosperity. The funds in the savings banks, representing the accumulated
millions of the working classes, are untouched, except as drawn vut in some few cases
for investment in the new Government
Loan. The rate of wages of the day laborer has been reduced, owing to the failure
of employment in the large commercial
towns, but there has been a corresponding
redaction in the expense of living, so that
it is not accompanied with suffering, One
does not see here the unemployed men, the
vacant shops, the handbills, aud the piles of
goodse xposed for sale and beggiug purchasers at any price. that may be seen in
any thoroughfare in New York,
The enlistments, too, are going on througbout New England as fast as the Government can supply the men with arms, and
put them iato serviee. The county of
Worcester, from whieh I am writing, an
agricultural eounty, with a population of
150,000, has two regiments at Washington,
one in camp, almost under my window, and
another about to be raised. ith all this,
the farmers have not yet begun to enlist in
earnest, having been occupied till now with
their crops. The class of men going into
the army from this part of the country is a
superior material-—streng, hearty men, with
intelligent minds, educated in the public
schools, understanding the great principle
involved, and, to a large exient, enlisting
from a sense of duty. If the Government
can command from the other sections of the
country. material at all to be compared
with that which it gets from the Pnritanio
elements of New England, it may go into
the next year’s campaign hopefully.
Nor is it alone in men for the army that
New England has dope its duty by the wise
institutions that have so much contributed
to its prosperity during the long years of
peace. The State of Massachusetts alone
is said to have furnished 10,000 sailors for
the navy which has beeu improvised for the
blockade, and the naval State of Maine to
have contributed its quota as well. In tbe
time of trial the fishermen of these two
State#@have been true to the Government
that by its helping hand has assisted to sustain them in times past, They know by experience the importance of a great nationality, able to assert its power and defend
its rights on the bigh seas as well as on
land, and are not to be deluded by any
nonsense about State rights iato an abandonment of their flag.
BattLe or Witp-Cat.—An eastern correspondent of the Bulletin furnishes the
. following:
A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn., to the
New Orleans Picayune of the 25th aolt.,
makes mention of the battle of Wildcat, ia
Kentucky. It represents that Zollicoffer
commanded in person, that the retreat waa
occasioned bysome misconception of orders
and that the rebel loss was over 260 killed
and wounded, Asgit is generally safe to
estimate rebel losses at twice as much as
admitted, it may be supposed that their lors
was not lessthan 500. A deserter has since
brought the information to Col. Garrard’s
camp that one of Zollicoffer’s spies just before the battle, reported that the Unionists
. had but 300 men under arms at Fort Wildcat. Zolly moved forward to the assault,
but caught a Tartar. Reinforcements had
come in und he was repulsed, whereupon he
had the uolucky spy tied up and raw-hided
for his supposed blander.
A Great storm lately visited the coast of
. Massachusetts, more severe than any known
. since the destruction of Minot’s Ledge
Lighthouse, in 1851. The tide in Boston
harbor rose to an unexampled hight, floodIng all of the lower portion of the city, and
during the gale the ship Maritana, from
Hamburg, was driven upon the rocks, only
fifteen miles below Boston and was totally
wrecked, 24 lives being lost,
