jMhM?iM?i???* Funeral of Bishop Copers. Oil Sunday, 22d iii?tn a vsry large audience assembled in the Methodist Episcopal Church iu this city to hear the Funeral discourse upon the Mte ami character of William Capers, deceased, byLovick Pierce, of tho Georgia Con-1 ference. The Occasion was a rftost interesting one, not only on account of the eminent virtues i of the deceased; but of the peculiar relations I of the eulogist and his subject. The revorond { Jreachcr was a pioneer of Methodism, and ad porsonnl experionco of the life ntid character of William Capers from his boyhood to tbo day of his death. Tho discourse, therefore, was ricli in personal anecdotes, and was the more linilling as it reached tmek to the days of Francis Asbury, who planted Methodism iu tho Southorn States. Our space will not allow ns to give an obstruct of the discourse. One or two of tho vcnerablo preach j-'s reminiscence must suffice. William Cupcrs, was converted in 1818, just after lie graduated in South Carolina College. He belonged to tho old aristocracy of the Province of South Carolina. In personal beauty he was unrivalled among his fellows. In eloquence, learning, taste, and personal accomplishments, lie had no equal. His fellow citizens wcro proud of k:.? ?i i?* i .1 , ami wmu *iiocfccu wnen li was announced t^.it young Capers had dctcrminto give up all ike bright prospects that were ope* to his ambition, and sacrifice himself to preaching the gospel among the despised Methodists. ITo was the first educated young man who ever entered the itinerancy in the Southern States. ITe turned a deaf ear to all the allurements of ambition and followed the call of duty, and it is the opinion of Dr. Pierce that lie did more than any othef^man to break down the prejudice of earlier. Methodists in the United Slates against an educated ministry. The power of his eloquence was illustrated by the effect of an exhortation delivered in Putnam county, Georgia, between 1830-'35. It was at a camp meeting at which there were three thousand persons present. After a sermon had been delivered, he arose to invite mourners to tho altar, and preceded it i by an appeal of such power, that when the invitation was given tho whole multitude, without an exception, fell u|xjii their knees. Id 1810-''20 ho was stationed in Savannah. During the summer tho yellow fever broke out and swept over the city as it did last year. While others tied from their post, lie stood his ground, administering to the i ?iek,_comforting tho distressed and burying the dead. 11 v this Kelf-jmei it?, in.-r i ? - ?J f & ^v?w%.v4. ntid eliKiHence he won the hearts of all, anil planted Methodism among a people who Iiad hitherto despised it. At the death of Dr. Pullock his congregation tendered him his pulpit, which ho ofi course declined. Bishop Capers was the author of the Mission to the Blacks in the Southern Stales. The following description of Bishop Ca i pors must close the article: In person it was a pleasure to look upon him, so nohle was his counte nance and so faultless his proportions. His voice was tunod to melody, and fell like music upon ear. He had but to open his mouth and a stream ' of simple and ornate eloquence gushed forth, as from an ever living spring. His attain- j ments, learning and manners tilted him to J adorn courts, and he would have boon the ' welcome associate of princes, and yet ho made himself at homo in the hut of the ; backwoodsman, who welcomed him as his equal and fiicnd. In all the varied relations and situations of his life he was the Christian gentleman, and never was guilty of an j -act that would Mot have been becoming in iitii nt/wl /?nlf iool/i, 1 uitil ? 'I lirt ~..-W ...W? ...V.. ...... .V....... ? IIV I honors and dignities which wore heaped up-! on hiin by his grateful brethren never made ! The slightest impression upon hiiu?he con-i tinued, to the end of his career, the same simple, unpretending, laborious man as he vrns at the begtuning. His hist words wcte. in reply to his weeping family, who refused to give him up, 'Let me go "to God.' We spoil the beauty of the description by our paraphrase. Wo but give tho idens, It, as well as the whole discourse, was worthy of the fame of the preacher, than whom the church lias no brighter ornament, ami of the ' fame and viitues of the iiluslrions dead.

Two Children NearlyJStarved.?Shocking Cruelty. A most shocking instance of human, or rather inhuman depravity, hasju>t transpir cd iii Covington, Ivy. It seems thnttlio wife of an Irishman recently died, leaving three children, an Infant boy aiul two girl's three ami five yea To of ago. The husband soon after her death married again, introducing into his family the wretch, who, with fletidlike coolnesa, set herself immediately at work to , destroy the lives of the little ones to whom , she should have been a mother. The youngest-of the three diod but it week or two after her entrance into the family ; j but with an atrocity scarcely coneoivai ble?one would not suffice, nhe mutt dit' troy (he otkert. This she undertook to do by withholding their, food, with an obvious ' intention to starve them to death. Fortu' irately the moans of the little ones were heard | from without, and vauge minors getting afloat that all v.-as not right within, and reaching the ears of the Council, it was rosolvcd to send a committee to investigate the ! matter. They went Inst evening, and not ' an hour too early. Filtering the bouse, they j found the Kte]?tiiothcr at homo, but on inquiry for the children, she told them that they wore asleep and could not be disturbed.? This did not satisfy the committee, and on j searching the house, they found a door to one of the rooms locked. Hearing faint cries within, they instantly broke down the doors and entered. What n sight met their ! eye* I There were two children, infants, ; their flesh as white ns death, and drawn liglflflTy orer theliones ; each feature defined j with the vividness of a corpse, while theii eyes were almost bursting from their sockets. ( With tho utmost alacrity and tenderness, j food was found and administered, which was no sooner done than they wvr? wrapped in * some blankets and removed to the hospitable ' family of the jailor.

In tho night?it w Tot mentioned at what hour?tho Indians came Uf*tho camp, about fifteen in uumbor, and before the soldiers wet o nwnro of their presence, pulled down the tent upon them, ami at the sumo time shooting arrows into it. The soldiers sallied out as quickly as possible, and made battle with the Indians and succeeded in diking thein n>vay. soldiers were wounded, and are now 111 the hospital at Albuquerque. The Indians told the Mexicans that they only came to kill the soldiers, and did not want the auiuiale; but they succeeded in neither. This was 0110 of the tuost meritorious actions that has ever occurred in New Mexico, and the soMiers'made heroes of themselves. Their names nr? Ringgold (in large) Culligain, Weaver and Young, ail of whom were woufrided in several places. Cullignin was wounded early in the action, and started off to carry the information to Las Lunas, Iting^old saying to him that he thought ho could nt>ld his position. A more gallant defence than this has not been made under the walls of Sebastopol; and it would bo right for the government to give mcsc soiuicrs some testimonial lor tiioir good conduct. Lieutenant Moore, with a parly of troojrs, \vju> at the place at seven the uoxt morning, and continued in pursuit* The same day, Major Carlton, with a detachment of dragoons and some mounted volunteers, left Albuquerque in pursuit of the Indians. Sinco the above was written, wo learn that Major Carlton and Lieutenant Moore havo returned without being nble to overtake the Indians. Private Kinggnld has since died of bis wounds at Albuquerque. Our Indian Affairs as thoy Stand at Present. Within the last few weeks, llio conduct of our Indian relations ha* changed somewhat for the bettor, and \vc havo hopes that a new state of affairs will he brought about, and peace and security bo restored to our territory. The cltnnge wo allude to is the friendly demonstration now made by the Mescalcro Apiehes, who have, of late, sent in a deputation to Agoat Stock, and ruked tor peace. The reason they give i.<, that (heir bad chiefi, who were ho*tilo to the whiles, have been killed, and the balance of lire tribe arc unanimously in favor of tuakiug a treaty 'and living on good tortus with the people of the territory. This, so far, looks very well, andLive sincerely hope they are in earnest in their desire for peace. We presume, however, that the rccept losses tlicy havo met wiih has had more to <lo with their present friendly dispo iyon thnn any strong desire for peace ; but if it answers tho same ends it is all well, enough. \\ ilh the opening of the new yoar, a strong current of success set in our favor, and in all our encounters with tho Indians the troop* have been successful. In the first instance, the gallant affair of Lieut. Sturgis, in pursuit of the. party who committed the depredations at C.ilistco, Inul a very beneficial effect upon these Indians, nnd taught them a severe lesson. They lost several men, and had taken from them nil the animals th v had stolen at Caljstoo. In the same month Gem Garland sent an expedition, under Capt. Ewell, into the Mescaloro country, which penetrated into the very heart of the tribe, ?nnd surprised them in their stronghold. Tito Indians turned out in force and fotigftt the troops, but they were practically whipped, .with the loss of some twenty warriors, two of whom were chiefs.?The result of the expedition was highly successful, nnd everything was accomplished that could have been expected. The third check and severe lesson they received was in their attack upon the grazing enmn of Capt. Ewell. Fifteen Indians, hi the mid die of the night, fell upon three dragoons asleep in tlicir tent, and the latter, after a very severe fight, succeeded in defeating nut! driving thorn oft, with the loss of four or five wounded, three of whom, we learn, have since died. Immediately after this affair, the Indians came in and begged for peace. In these, and nil Other encounters with tlio savages, tho officers and men of our army have behaved themselves*!) the handsomest manner. The Oeprml hns eondueled his military operations with great onorgy, and deserves credit for tho efforts ho had made to afford protection to all our frontier*.
