The Dem ocratic gain on the fraudulent majority for the llepubiican candidate two years ago is over 70,000 upon the majority of 53,000 at the State election last year a gain of 23,000, and a gain of 30,000 on the majority given for the llepubiican candidate for President in 1861.

I-know it will be grati- yicg to some ot them to learn more oi the '-situation" in Missouri than they can obtain from ordinary newspaper gleanings. Yeur evident desire to keep them posted has encouraged me to seek a Jxttle space in your columns for" a few words on that ubject. 3Iissouri, almost surrounuea oy an an- tagonit:c population, aud her bouthern sympathies strongly suspectea,was rnrown under military control in the very begin ning of the late coutest. The presence of the military, and the outrages commit ted, intensified their sympathy, ana arous ed many to arm3 who desired the more peaceful walks of life. All organization had to be conducted secretly. The pres ence of Federal soldiers emboldened those of Abolition proclivities to engage also in a svstem of intolerable persecution qgainst all they suspected, or against whom they md any old grudge. Ihese circumstances naugurated a reckless and bloody gucr 11a warfare, of which other Southern States have fortunately had but little or no experience- " "" There, young men have fallen on the field of battle, here grey-headed " men. without offense, have been imprisoned, hung, and shot, whole counties have been depopulated, houses, barns and fences re- iuced to ashes, women and childscn have been turned out to freeze or starve. Eve ry portion of the State has been agitated, and citizens of ' political creeds have been forced to flee to other States, and from one part of the State to another That portion of the State bordering on Kansas, and south ot the Missouri river, was literally depopulated, and almost every bouse burned. The prospect of the continuance of the war prevented a full crop from being planted last Spring, lhe lossot stock and the destruction of property had disa bled planters to such an extent that but little could be cultivated. Provisions are, therefore, very scarce.' .Here, where the country has been as little interrupted as anywhere, bacon is thirty cents a pound ; corn one dollar a bushel ;- wheat two dol lars, and very little in the country: hogs from eight to ten dollars . per cwt. gross ; good horses and mules from two to three hundred dollars ; cattle from five to eight dollars per cwt. gross; sheep from two and a half to six dollars.

The 2?w York correspondent of the Chicago Times in a late letter says : , Much excitement has been created her? by the novel mode of celebrating the Lpiscnpal service at St. Alban's church, one of the fashionable churches in Lex ington avenue. The innovation i3 said to be the first fruits of the late quarrel between Bishop Potter and some of the churchmen in his jurisdiction. The mode of worship 13 that of the Tractari ans or Puseyites .of Loudon, and very closely resembles the Roman Catholic form. One of the papers calls it "a very close plagiarism of the Catholic form of service." The church has a sort of high altar, with steps leading up to it. On this is placed a huge cross, said to be made of solid gold, (but that is doubtful) on each side ot which are two imposing wax candles, peering up from burnished ! candlesticks, with brazen, and highly or namented pedestals, and these again are fiatiked with showy vases of many-colored flowers, but whether these were natural or artificial, we cannot say. On the right and left of the altar are brilliant clusters of lighted candles, the whole .producing optical effects which throw the famous Greek service at Trini ty chaper quite into the shade. The altar-cloth is of crimson, with gold fringe, and over and above all, in antique Eng lish characters, is the scriptural sentence, " Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty." Below, in front, iu like characters, artist ically wrought, is the Christian mbnogram, l I. II. S." A carved cross decorates the front of the pulpit, which is placed in the eastern corner of the church, quite remote from the chancel. The services commence with a sort of anthem, (which is said to resemble a monkish chant,) but the singers, at that stage of the proceedings, are nowhere visible. This ended, "a procession of priests and chorister boys, some twenty in all,- with surplices thrown over a long black garment, almost trailing on the floor, solemnly sally from the vestry room and enter the chancel, after which all of them devoutly kneel, such of the congre gation as are well "up" iu the pro gramme following the Example. The opening prayers are then said, and the aniens t the end of them intoned. Ju reading the lessons for the day, the priest reverently bows his-head every time tho name of tho Sayior occurs, and this, it was noticed, wa3 imitated by most of the congregation. The psalter is sung from beginning to end not read; and while the "Gloria Patri" is chanted at the end of each psalm, the clergy and choristers in concerts all turn their backs towards the congregation, so as to face the altar. Another novelty was the singing of two hymns, instead of a psalm and a hymn. as is ordinarily the case. But the most startling innovation of all, perhaps, was reserve! for the last, when Bishop South- sate, one ot the omciatin'r clerory on-re- cemng the basins containing the offerto ry, ascended the steps of the altar, and stretching his arms above his bead, eleva ted them just as the priest of the Church or Home elevates the host, the eon'rrejra- tion all the while devoutly kneeling, and tua choir chanting again the uloria Patri." It should be added that, while the alms were collecting, three of the clergy left their stalls and took position in front ot the alta, with their backs to wards the congregation, a3 before. At the conclusion of these extraordinary services, the congregation remained until the clergy and choristers retired in pro cession irom the chancel some evidently wondering what all this meant others like the hero of Byron's dream, "look ing unutterable things, and others again speculating, sotto voce, as to what Bishop Potter was going to-do about it. THE MJKITARY REPORTS. The reports of Secretary Stanton and r l 1 - a 1 i ii t uenerai urant are more remancanie tor voluminousness than their information There is scarcely a fact in each that has not been known for months to every read e'r of the newspapers. General Grant re cites events which were told, and m many cases better told, at the time of their oc currence by correspondents of the public press. The same is true of the report of Mr. Stanton. , It is proper and perhaps necessary that both Stanton and Grant should make the movements of the armies the burden of their reports. The public, however, ex pected something more than this bare re capitulation. ' From General Grant one would like to know something -of the theories whieh formed the foundation of the movements of 1SG-4 and 1SG5. It would-be gratifying to know how many of the events of that period were the re sult of design and how many of accident. There are a thousand things upon which light ought to be shed, and which remain in provoking darkness. What motive lay behind Banks' ill-advised expedition up lied river ? Was Sherman's movements to Meridian and his return the complete fulfillment of a plan, or- a partial or an entire failure? Did Sherman or Grant originate the movement eastward . from Atlanta; and was it design or accident that brought Sherman to the coast at Sa vannah instead of Mobile ? How far were the results of crossing the Rapidan in May, and the subsequent fighting, in har mony with the original intentions of the Lieutenant General i Questions of this kind will -occur by hundreds to all who have been closely in terested in the movements of our armies. The same provoking reticence is witness ed in the report of Mr. Stanton. He makes no allusion to the all-absorbing question of the exchange of prisoners, lie leaves the public completely in the dark as to his responsibility in the mat ter. He informs U3 that under Divine Providence, , one of the most effectual events in the suppression of the rebellion was the re-ele"etion of Mr. Lincoln. Peo ple would much prefer an avowal cf the extent "of his complicity with Wirz and W inder in the prison-horrors of the Con federacy, than ah expression of his onin- OM Orv tflP. Inst.

" acTTtrsri3 Ophltfii'iilivaS' the etyle or cuof 'g simply that ot a partizan. in the cx- change matter there is no difference of belief, and hence he could have given his opinion in that case with entire propriety. A single item of interest reveals itself in the report of Mr. Stanton.' It is with reference to our military strength. At the time Grant assumed command of all our armies, the entire Federal force exceeded 1,000,000, of which 663,000 were availa ble for active duty. So efficient was the recruiting service that when the war end ed tn available Federal force was as large as when Grant assumed command. This' neaks much for a country which, after three yeai'2 of exhaustive war, could keep an army of nearlj 700,000 men in the field, despite the tremendous losses in Grant's march from the vidncrnes to Itichmond. ' . ' ' When the war was closed the Federal Government had nearly 700,000 effective men in the field. The entire number of men who composed the rebel armies at the time of the general surrender was a little less than 175,000. In addition to these when the war ceased we had nearly 100,000 rebel prisoners in our possession, so that the entire rebel force at the col lapse of the rebellion was a little less than 275,000 men. In other words,. during the last year of th'c war the Federals out numbered the rebels in the proportion of Over three to,one. Perhaps Mr. Stanton, irt this fact, may discover another of the means whereby " under Divine Provi dence ' we succeeded in destroying the armed power of. the rebellion. The pen, in the hand that knows how to use it, is one of the most powerful weapons known. As the tongue of the absent, how charming ! When self-respect gives it a new vigor, how pleasing I Wen virtue guides it, how beautiful ! When honor directs it. how respected ! When wit sharpens it, how fatal 1 When scurrility wields it, how con temptible I 'Tis the weapon of the mind. Horace Greeley says in a card to a Wash ington paper, in reply to a personal matter, that he desires peace between all men, espe cially between President Johnson and Con gress, and prays that the Southern States may le re-established in possession of their original rights and liberties without hazard ing those of any other portion at the Ameri can people.

I. A Xew Orleans correspondent relates the following . strange scene in a negro cburcb in that city, as witnessed by aim on the occasion of an administration of the rite of baptism : . .. Among the striking peculiarities ot the American negro is his fondness for noisy demonstrations of religious fervor( which has been frequently" remarked by travelers in the South. It is said that the Chinese have no conception of bravery of heroism unless accompanied bv the ieating of gongs and tom-toms, and the negroes have similar ideas in the performance of their religious ceremonies, rvof only a great noise and bustle seems necessary to them, but, like the rites of Is'dian Fakirs, it must be accompanied vlth muscular ac tion and bodily contortions. lhe scenes witnessed in the churches1 during periods of revivals must cairie in sensitive minds, only feelings of disgust. r or some tim past there has been a a revival here, during ;W-hicb the church members have acted more like wild beasts in' a cage than like human beings. The sight beggars all description, and were one to tell truh all he saw at one of these revival meetings, he would receive many pious blessings for burlesquing religious ceremonies and the worship of the Deity.
