ROME, Juno 29.--His Holiness, Pope Pius the Ninth, following up his allocutions to the Snored Consist? ory on the general condition of tho affa: *, spiritual and temporal, and tk^custrian legislation with respect to We Concordat, has to-day issued a Papal bull, calling a general Council of the Catholio Church. The Pontifical decree and summons, which is addressed to the cardinals, patriarchs, primates, arch-bishops and bishops, urbi et orbis, directs that they shall assemble in the Vati? can, in tins city, on the 8th day of December, in the year of our Lord 1809. Tho very issue of the bull hos produced a decided sensation in diplomatic circles, as it is acknow? ledged on all s ides that this ecclesias? tical oonvontion will constitute the most brilliant (in point of numbers and talent, and momentous, as re? gards the subjects to be discussed,) hierarchial assemblage which has been brought together from the earli? est days lof Christianity. The Holy Father, in explaining the reasons which guided his judgment to the conviction of the necessity of a Gene? ral Council, sketches ont the pro? gramme of the work of its members with a free1'hand. His Holiness states that the subjects to be sub? mitted to the congregated body in? clude: The necessity of renewed Episcopal exertion-1 to1 secure in all quartt?rlTof fthe globe a firm belief in the integrity of the Catholio faith ; n more abiding and heart-felt respect for religion; a- more ready obedience to Catholio church discipline, and ti more general observance of its rules, regulations and laws; consultation ns to the best means ,of improving the morals of the members of the fold how to extend and establish penci aud concord among individuals ant nations, *aud how to more effectually remove thc many ills which afilie civil society, as well as many of th? religious orders. The bull, in con elusion, adverts to the absolute ueces sity which exists to uphold the tem poral power of the Popo in thi Eternal City, and domain of tb church, to sustain aud defeud th sanctity of the sacrament of murriag in every land, aud to be careful o tho education of the young. Hi Holiness deplores the persevering untiring and insidious efforts whic! aro being made by the enemies o tho church to throw down, destroy and deface all these, and imparts t the faithful the apostolic bencdictio just before adding his signature t the paper and attesting it with th seal of tho Fisherman.

Blair, declaring it thc duty of the Democratic party, if elected, to disregard the Recon? struction Acts and withdraw the mili? tary from tho Southern States. lu the "Chase headquarters," in the Chanler House, a letter is shown, in which Chase professes not to de siro the nomination, but he wishes to have it put on record before a nomi? nation is made, that he will support the nominee of the Convention.

Tho Presideul replied in a long letter, yesterday, re viewing some of tho acts, of his ad ministration, and indicating verj clearly his views and tho intention! which have always actuated his move meats in tho past.

In tho event of nomination and suc? cess, I trust I should so act that neither the great party which makes the nomination, nor the great body of patriotic citizens whose co-opera? tion would insure success, would have cause to regret their notion. It is an intens . desire with me, to see tho D?mocratie party meeting the question of the day in the spirit of the day, and assuming to itself a long duration of ; scendancy.

We glean the following extracts in relation to the condition of tho crops in various parts of this State from our latest exchanges: LANCASTER.-The wheat crops have turned out well; that thc corn and cotton fields are clean and well cultivated, and that so far, thc prospect of an abundant harvest is most encouraging. MARLBORO.-The Ben uetts ville Journal says: "We have seen the crops in several sections of the Dis? trict, and must congratulate our people upon the scarcity of grass, and the excellent condition in which they are. At this time last year, there was a general complaint, which was well founded, that it was almost impossible to keep the crops clean. We thiuk there is afc lenst one-third more corn planted in the District this year than last, and not more than two-thirds as much cotton, yet wo believe from the appearance of the cotton crop now, there will be as much made." KERSHAW.-The cotton crops of the District aro doing well, but tho corn on the uplands is suffering from the effects of tho drought that has prevailed for tho past three weeks. In some parts of the Dis? trict it has been badly injured. The wheat crop has been harvested, and so far the yield hos been an average one. GEORGETOWN.-The Times says: "We have had an abundance of rain since our last issue. Tho fountains above poured down upon us un? sparingly on Thursday last, and the day was altogether ono of tho most disagreeable and gloomy looking in tlie memory of this community. Since then wo have had showers, with prospects of more rain. Wo hear, however, favorablo accounts of the crops, and if wo can bo spared from freshets, many arc sanguine of reaping a better harvest than the last." BARNWELL.-We have liad au op? portunity recently of conversing with planters from all parts of tho District, and learn that tue crops of cotton and corn aro exceedingly fiue, and promise an abundant yield. All sections of the District have been visited with copious showers of rain within the past week, and the plant? ers generally, are in lino spirits. CLARENDON.-It is really encou? raging to hoar the cheering reports coming in from all quarters of our District with reference to the crops. The corn, pens and potatoes especial? ly, are looking fine, and bid faro to yield abundantly. We have heard several men of experience express the opinion that if the season con? tinues favorable there will be moro corn made in Clarendon this year than has been mado for several ycara past. A few weeks since, London had ono of the largest musical festivals ever given. The metropolis eonld not famish singers in sufficient num? bers, and almost every large town in England where there is a choral society was drawn upon. . These several bands were separately trained and only came together as a grand chorus on Friday, before the festival. The great choir reached over 3,500, and the orchestra consisted of 500 performers. The festival was given in the Crystal Palace, which had been so arranged as to accommodate an audience of 30,000 persons. The performances were wholly of Handel's compositions, the oratorios of the ..Messiah" and "Israel in Egypt" being given in full, together with selections from six other oratorios. The soloists included nil the best opera and oratorio singers now in London. A PORTENTOUS OMEN.-On the 4th, after J. P. M. Epping, the Chairman of the Northern platform, had put the vote to the surrounding crowd, and some had cried "aye" and some "no" and the resolutions submitted had been declared unani? mously and enthusiastically carried, and before tho noise of the voters had died away, the entire radical platform fell through, and all the shining lights wera precipitated to tho ground. Do coming events cast their shadows before? I Charleston Courier. Tho first rhinoceros that lias been brought to this country in twenty years, was landed in New York last Monday. The animal is but four years old, and measures nine feet in length, and four and o half in height, weighing over 3,000 pounds. As his daily food he eats two bushels of com, one bushel of potatoes, and 300 pounds of hay, drinking fifteen to twenty buckets of water. Tho duties of a policeman in Mem? phis have becouio as dangerous as thc deadly lield of battle. Within the last four months six officers have been killed in the discharge of their duty, and six moro severely wound? ed, in all about twelve per cent, of the average police force who have suffered death or maiming at the hands of actual or would-be assas? sins. A grand banquet was given at Willis' Rooms, London, last evening, to Cyrus W. Field. Over 300 gentle? men were present. Congratulatory despatches were exchanged between tho officers of thc banquet aud President Johnson, the Captain General of Cuba, the Governors of Vancouver's Island, California and Oregon.

Tho colored presiding officers of both branohes of the Louisiana Le? gislature, have decided that thoy aro under no obligation to obey Massa Grant, aud will manage busi? ness ns they please. Senator Sumner says that Mr. Pendleton will "como down like a stick." Few poor fellows, says Prentice, know better than Sumner how a stick comes down. The mail matter handled daily at the Now York Post Office amounts to uiuety-live tons, making 200 wagon loads each day; 250,000 letters aro despatched each day. Eminent Berlin physicians, it is said, concur in tho opinion that both Bismarck and King William will die very soon and very suddenly.
