Bishop Cobb. The death of Bishop Cobb, of Alabama, has deprived the Episcopal Church of one of its wisest, best, and most beloved and venerated ministers.

Bishop Cobb was a native of Virginia, and formerly rector of one of the Episcopal churches in Petersburg. His character was one of patriarchal integrity, simplicity and virtue. In the innocence and affectionateness of his disposition, he was the St. John of the modern apostolate, whose head ever seemed to repose upon the Saviour's breast, and who all men wished might tarry till He came.

The Testimonial to President Cobb. At the meeting of Congress yesterday morning, President Cobb made a brief speech in open session, returning his thanks to the members of the body for their complimentary notice of his intended departure for the seat, of war, made in his absence the day before He said: Gentlemen of Congress;--Allow man to interrupt for a single moment, the usual course of business.

If gentlemen, you could read the response which my heart has already made to the resolution you were pleased to adopt during my absence from the chair on yesterday, I should remain silent this morning; for words cannot express the feelings which this renewed evidence of your kindness and confidence has excited. Since the first hours of our meeting to the present moment, approaching the closing hours of this session, I have received from you such repeated marks of your friendly regard as no presiding officer ever received from his associates. Be assured, gentlemen, they wi

The late Bishop Cobb. --We have received a copy of the eloquent and able sermon preached by Rev. Dr. Cushman in memorial of the late beloved and respected Bishop Cobb, of Alabama, before the Convention of that Diocese. It is a just and beautiful tribute to the Fenelton of the Episcopal Church.

hey will take New York city," but they will not harm it. It would destroy their pleasure, as well as our comfort, if they disturbed us very much. Our amusements will go on as usual, but under a Southern censorship. Fancy Mrs. Wood compelled to introduce Southern melodies in her burlesque, and Laura Keene forced to make the South in the right in her "Seven Sons," and the Bryants singing "Dixie's Land" at the point of the bayonet, and Herrman essaying the "Marsellaise," and teaching Floyd and Cobb prestidigitation, and the New Bowery folk ordered to play "Bull Run," with a new finale, until further notice. Imagine the Tribune suppressed and the Times denied the mails; the Day Book itself again and the Daily News revived; the Journal of Commerce with its old editor returned, and the Express demonstrating daily that it had always advocated Davis. Fancy the banks guaranteeing the Confederate popular loan, and the shoddy manufacturers putting in bids for the rebel clothing contracts. Im

Arrival of prisoners. --The York River train yesterday brought to this city twelve prisoners, captured on the Peninsula; near Newport News, by a scouting party of Cobb's Legion. They belonged to the 11th New York regiment.

Federal prisoners. --The fourteen prisoners brought to this city on Monday by the York River Railroad were captured on the previous Saturday, near Newport News, by Capt. Phillips's Cavalry, and not by Cobb's scouts, as we learn from reliable authority. The Hessians were pulling down a house for the purpose of using the timber in building their winter quarters, when they were charged upon and taken. This adds another to the exploits of Capt. Jo. Phillips, than whom there does not exist a more gallant or intrepid officer. He deserves honor for his personal bravery and devotion to the cause of the South.

Movement of military. --The Sixteenth Georgia Regiment, Col. Cobb commanding, will break up camp this morning, and leave for another locality. The regiment will march to the York River depot about eight o'clock.--With efficient officers, first-rate men and splendid arms, the Sixteenth will make its mark upon the enemy if an opportunity ever offers.

men, with others, were impressed into service. Of course all their protestations were unheeded. They left Big Bethel at six o'clock in the morning, and by keeping in the woods and wading through swamps they succeeded in making good their escape, although at one time they were very closely pursued. They state that the comp at Bethel is about five thousand strong, an equal quantity of them from Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia; besides these there are three hundred cavalry under the name of "Cobb's Legion." The camp is under command of Brigadier-General McClaws. There exists a good deal of dissatisfaction among the men on account of the insufficient clothing, the cruel treatment, and the want of promptness in the pay department; since May last they have only received two months pay, and that, of course, in shinplasters, which they are unable to get rid of except by buying sutler's goods at exorbitant prices. Tobacco costs 50 cents a plug; butter 60 cents a pound; salt 25 cents a

Congress. Vice-President Stephens is now presiding over the deliberations of the Provisional Congress, Col. Cobb having gone to his regiment on the Peninsula. The regular Confederate Congress meets on the 21st of February.
