GREAT EPISCOPAL CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA
The sessions of the General Convention of the
Episcopal Church of the United States, commence
in Philadelphia this week. 1t is believed that the
attendance will be unusually great. The propriety
Of the advice Of Paul to Timothy about the use of
wine-the rate of payment for the arduous servi-
ces Of nishops-Puseylsm- many other inter-
esting topics, will come before the body. Colonel
Webb, "of the regular army" has gone on, with
the special object of watching the proceedings Of
the convention, and guarding the church militant
from the assaults of the fell spirit of religious loco
focoism. Strange times these-when pious par
sons preach against Texas-consecrate Bishops
issue long epistles on the efficacy Of "burned
brandy"-aud fighting editors sit in ecclesiastical
councils. TIL. beginning of the thousand years
solitary confinement Of the old serpent must be
nigh at hand.
