Sunday, the 7th inst., which destroyed the
Star Planing Mills of Messrs. Moore,
Halstead & Co., involving them in a loss

was no insurance on the properly. Other
buildings and lumber were also burned,
amounting to twenty-five thousand dollars,

The Daughters of Malta are becoming

Death of the How. Richard Rush.
The telegraph has already announced the
death of the Hon. Richard Rush of Phila
delphia. We learn from the Press that he
died at his residence in Eighth street, be
low Locust, on the morning of the 30th
ult. The Press says:
He suffered greatly at times during his
long illness, which commenced early in
the Spring, but it was a great consolation
to his family and friends that he was free
from pain as his end approached; that he
was in full possession of all his faculties,
and perfectly composed and resigned ; and
that he passed off- without a struggle.
He was born in Philadelphia, in August
of 1780. and was in the seventy-ninth
year of his age.
Few men have served the nation more
faithfully in important stations, and few
have more honestly earned and more fully
enjoyed, for an extended period, the con
fidence and respect of the American peo
ple. He was the second son of Dr. Ben
jamin Rush, one of the signers of (he
Declaration of Independence, whose devo
tion as a patriot, talent as a statesmen, skill
as a physician, and merited reputation
as a philosopher, won for him oue of the
proudest places in American history.—
His mate niaf grandfather, Richard Stock
ton, of New Jersey, was another of the
signers of the Declaration of Independ
ence.

Anew Religious Ohoanizatiow—
Tut Broad Church.— Dr. Bellows, a
distinguished Unitarian Minister of New
York city, has recently broached a scheme
which will produce not a little sensation
in the sectarian circles of the present gen
eration. According to the New York and
Boston pnpers, Dr. Bellows' scheme is
neither more or less than to found a new
Catholic Church, differing from the old
Catholic Church, which in tiiis country,
acknowledges Archbishop Hughes as its
Metropolitan head, by the omission ol
what is termed certain obsolete, erroneous
"or needless doctrines, but preserving the
fascinating'features, rituals, imaginative
symbols, sacred festivals, &c., which aid
so materially in giving the Roman Catho
lic Church its popular and universal char
acter. Speaking of this new religious
movement, the ./Veto York Times says:
The name of the proposed organization is
the Broad Church. In this magnificent scheme
we understand that Dr. Bellows, enjoys the
co-operation of Dr. Osgood and the Rev. Mr.
Frotnlngham, (lie other Unitarian clergyman
of this city. He will also have a Seminaiy to
propagate the new doctrinp in Antioch Col
lege, a flourishing institution at the West, of
which he has been a most efficient fiiend.
Dr. Osgood is reported to hnve prepared a lit
urgy, to bo submitted to the consideration of
American Unitarians, who, with one or two
other sects, w ould form the nucleus of the new
denomination. Dr. Bellows, a* will be seen by
his discourse delivered before the Alumni of
the Divinity School at Cambridge, and by his
Boston address of last year, which we find
quoted with a qualified approval in an article
in the North British (Presbyterian) Review,
maintains that modern Protestantism is mere
ly negative, barren and behind the times, and.
in shorl. is, to some extent, a failure. “His
torical Unllar ianism,” says he ‘ is fast becom
ing a local peculiarity, a Boston notion.”
This assertion, it is affirmed, is sustained by
figures and statistics, relating to the history
nf lltA cool Ifonr’h flu* of n tlKpn:i:l
church,” ami a return to the rites and cere
monial heretofore discarded by a majority ot
modern Protestants.
Touching this ‘‘blending of odds and
ends," in a religious, or rather sectarian
point of view, the JVeti' Orleans Della says:
We take it that Dr. Bellows aims to blend
the best elrnents of Teutonic and Celtic Chris
tianity into a harmonious whole. He asserts
the failure of the Protestant sects; he charges
Romanism with failure also, but in a less de
gree; and he concludes that “the development
of a now Catholic Church” out of the essen
tial Christian principles of all of them, is the
only means of saving religion from utterly
dying out in the world. But to create the
mechanism of the project, to put together its
skeleton, is one tiling, and to give it (lesh. and
blood, and muscle, and bounding pulse ami
heart, is quite a different thing. What is to
give it a vitality not possessed by the effete
sects and creeds outworn which it is designed
to supersede? Under Heaven, what, indeed I
But Dr. Bellows Hints that it may bo vivified
by a now revelation corresponding with the
“wants of this weary unchurched era.” He
says: “To articulate, or even try to articu
late, the dumb wants of this weary unchurched
era, is at least one step to the new Catholic
Church—it is a cry for help, which God will
hear and will answer by some new worn
from the Holy Ghost, when humanity i:
able and willing to bear it.”
A telegraphic dispatch from New York
dated July 30th, to the SI. Louis Repub
lican, states as follows:
In relation to the New Church Scheme, re
ported to be favored by prominent Unitariar
ministers, the Rev. Mr. Osgood makes a posi
tive refutation of the Evening Post’s story
concerning his connection therewith, in a spi
cy and sarcastic letter. He also explains the
discourse of Mr. Bellows, which gave rise tc
the report, his meaning having been misappre
hended from his using the word Catholic in
the philosophic instead of the ritual sense, and
nothing having been said by him to justify
the statement that he favors any new Episco
pacy or any revival of the old pageantry, ir
conclusion, Mr. Osgood says lie shall be very
glad to see a new Catholic Church of the true
stamp arise.
So we go. The conclusion of Mr. Os
good leaves the public to judge for them
selves as to “the New Church Scheme.’
In attempting to correct the previous im
pression? as to himself and Mr. Hollows
he proclaims himself in favor of “a new

The New York Herald gets ofi the fol
lowing:
The Broad Church.—The style ami title
of “Broad Church,” which it is purposed tc
give to the New Catholic Church, without a
Hope, as projected by Dr. Bellows & Co., it T
suggested is -‘an unfortunate name,” and that
it would be “unwise to give the scoffer such a
handle as the name suggests.” But as w«
have already a -‘high church” and a “low
church,” why not a ‘-broad church?” The
name, perhaps, would be strengthened by
changing it to “the Broad Guage Church.”
-•Broad” is a good word, and “long” is a good
words but we commend the “broad guage” to
Dr. Bellows. In spite of SShakspeare, there is
much in a name.
Will the Italian Confederation
Work?—The Hon. Caleb Cushing lias
an able and ingenius article to the Boston
Traveller under this head, from which the
following are extracts:

Iasi? Observe, it is not merely a federal
union of the provinces ol Italy under the
presidency of the Pope, Austria being one
of these provinces. If it were that alone,
it would be the league of Austria and all
Italy against France. But, in addition to
that, it must be a league of Austria and
France—that is, of the two great Catholic
powers of Europe, sheltered under the
mighty name of Rome; for thus only
can France maintain her own standing as
a great Catholic power. Whom does such
a league threaten? Is it not quite reason
able now for Great Brtain to ponder the
problem of Cherbourg?
Napoleon, by the actual aid of Great
Britain, has balanced the Russian success
of Moscow by the reduction of Sebastopol.
He has with the passive countenance of
Great Britain, balanced the Austrian oc
cupation of Paris by the victory of Solferi
no. The debt to Prussia remains to be
paid off; but above all, that to Great Brit
ain. Trafalgar and Waterloo, are memo
ries of rage and shame in the hearts of all
Frenchmen, and especially of all Bona
partes. And if, iu this respect, the turn
of Great Britain is to come, she will only
have herself to thank, for the present pow
erful and proud position of Louis Napo
leon is her work quite as much as that of
his own genius. Certain we may be that
of this great drama of the Second Empire,
the fourth and fifth and greatest of its acts
are Jet to come.

A PLOT.
We have every reason to believe that
1 there exists a definite plot to defeat a nom
i ination nt Charleston, principally for the
| benefit of Mr. Douglas. Notwithstand
ing that gentleman’s disclaimer, we have
, not doubted, for near a year past, his in*
; tention of “running a stump” for the next
I Presidency. He continues to proclaim
i doctrines and to demand action of the
: Charleston Convention that must induce
1 the whole South therein, with trifling ex
ceptions, to withdraw from it, if his views
of a platform be carried out. On the oth
er hnnd, his apologists and advocates nt
the South alone demand action on the part
of the Convention that must divide the
Democratic party in twain, sectionally, if
consumamted.
Again, Mr. Douglas is proclaiming to
those with whom he converses on political
subjects—according to Washington letters
in distant newspapers—that he cares not
how distasteful his “unfriendly legislation"
views may be to the South, as he will gain
more effective votes by the promulgation of
those views among the anti-slaveryites at
the North than he can thus lose at the
South. His fugleman, Mr. Forney, is
impudently urging that the meeting of the
Charleston Convention shall be postponed
until a period loo late to permit roost of
the delegates from the North to attend it.
Now, all these things, taken together, con
vinces us that there is a settled plot on the
part of Douglas, Forney & Co. to break
tip the Convention in a row, that he (D.)
may have an excuse for running as an in
dependent Presidential candidate, in the
face of his many contrnry pledges given of
late. All the hopes of Douglas hinge up
on defeating a nomination by the united
Democracy nt Charleston. He knows
yvpII thnt lii<« nnminntinn ihnrp hv nnv uni
ted party is morally impossible, and he
and his are consequently working with
might and main to prevent any nomina
tion from being made. In all sections ol
the Union many are laboring in this cause
who. when they come to realize that his
purpose is simply to break up the Demo
cratic parly—as they surely will, when
the Convention meets—will turn their
backs on him and his plot.
We doubt not he will be able to secure
the attendance at Charleston of delegates
who will strive with him to break up the
Convention without a nomination,and that
they will leave no effort to that end un
tried, yet it is impossible that they can
succeed; because three fourths of the body
will he identified for a lifetime with the
Democratic party, of great experience in
politics, and determined, at all hazards, to
discharge their whole duty to their princi
ples. They will “camp out,” if necessa
ry. for a month, in the good cause, and
will not disperse until consummating action
that will rally the party, in all the States,
so around the time-honored standard as
that, if venturing the experiment of run
ning as an independent candidate, Mr.
Douglas will find himself supported only
by a very beggarly band of very sore-head
ed malcontents.
We write the interference of Mr.
Forney in the matter of the meeting of
the Charleston Convention as a piece of
impudence, because all men of commoo
sense now realize that he is neither di
rectly or indirectly identified with the
Democratic party. So open is his current
identification with the Republicans, as that
their newspaper letter-writers from this
point are daily speculating upon his chance
for obtaining their nomination for Printer
or Clerk of the House, either of which he
is well known to be stnnding ready to ac
cept, if affording the slightest chance for
his election. lie is hut little ahead of
Mr. Dougla on the march into the arms
of the Opposition. The latter will fairly
get there, when he finds his calculations
of mischief-making at Charleston dashed,
as they are very certain to be, not long
hence.
Barbaric Troops for the British
Army.—The adoption of the Zouaves and
Turcos into the French army, and their
successes against European troops, have
incited the British government to attempt
the organization of similar corps from their
colonies in t he IV est Indies. Sometime

iliu IMIILII oumiuo ill tri. niiu'ja »CIC
uniformed a la Zouave; and we now learn
that orders have been issued by the War
Department for the transportation of three
thousand Jamaica negroes to England.
On their arrival, they are to'be drilled in
the use of the latest and most destructive
patterns of smalt arms, and trained to
serve the new rifled cannon. When this
first squad has been incorporated with the
army, it will doubtless be followed by
others, until the English will have a black
division that will cope, in barbarity and
ferocity at least, with the Turcos. In case
of a war between England and France,
it would be curious to see these troops
pitted against each other; but they are
edged tools, which the European govern- j
ments may find exceedingly dangerous!
playthings. Failing to have an enemy to
contend with, they may one day imitate
i the sepoys, and cut their white masters’
throats.—[Memphis Avalanche.
Terrible Ravages or Yellow Fe
ver.—The yellow fever has been very fa
tal on both sides of the Rio Grande river,
in Texas and Mexico. The Rio Grande
Journal of the 31st ull. says:
We learn through a person just from
j Edinburg, in Hidalgo cotiuly, that that
! town and its Mexican sister, Reynosa,
have been some time suffering from a fe- *
ver in most respects identical with the yel- i
low fever which devastated our region last
year. In Reynosa some two hundred and
thirty have died, and in Edmbuig thir
teen. It is strange, but few or none of the
deaths have been among females. Dr.
Howie, of Edinburg, reports nine of the
thirteen to have died of unmistakable
black vomit. Three Americans have died :
Messrs. Fowler and Davis, of Seguin,
Texas, and Mr. James Robinson, attor
ney, formerly of this place. Also, D. Sal
vador Dominguez, sheriff of Hidalgo
county. The sickness is abating, for ’
want of subjects, and all now sick are
getting well. It is said that but two
persons iu Reynosa bad escaped an attack.

Quantity or Cotton Exported.—In i
spite of the war and individual losses sus- i
tained here and there, by the more tirntd
holders, the cotton year of 1858-'59, (end- j
ing on the first of September next,) will |
prove one of the most prosperous and re
markable in the history of the country.
The crop, estimated at 3,700,000 bales, is
the largest ever grown in the United
States, and estimated at the average value
of about fifty dollars per bale, it amounts
to the enormous sum of 185,000,000 dol
lars.
The crop, so far, lias been distributed
as follows:
The estimated crop is 3,700,000 bales.
The quantity exported to July 45, as follows :

To be received to Sept. 1, 39,000 1,950,000
Total.3.700,000 $185,000,000
Some people suppose that the present
growing crop of 1859-'60, may reach four
millions of bales, or three hundred thou
sand in excess of the present crop. If so,
and the civilized world should remain at
peace for a year or two to come, it will
all be consumed at remunerative prices.
It is believed by some, however, that the
present supply of labor devoted to the cul
ture of cotton will not be able to carry the
yield up to four millions of bales, and few
or none consider that the growth can be
pushed much, if any, above that nmount,
for some time to come, without some aug
mentation in it beyond the ordinary rale
of increase.—[New York Herald.
