Bishop of Alabamn.
The vacancy in the Episcopale of Alabama, caused by the death of the late lamented Bishop Cobb, has been filled by the election of Rev. Dr. Pinckney, Rector of the Church of the Ascension, in Washington City. The Convention has made a judicious and admirable selection. Dr. Pinckney, a nephew of the great lawyer of that name, is a divine of superior attainments and eloquence, and a fine specimen of the high-toned Maryland gentleman of former and better days. We predict that, it he accepts the position, his career will be one of the greatest usefulness and acceptability.
