UNEASY SPIRITS IN THE
CHURCH.
There are in every church persons
who may be called uneasy spirits,
faultfinders, croakers, always in un
rest, captions critics, whom no action
of church or society ever can concili
ate. These troubles in Israel, not of
Israel, must have some vent to the
fermentation of their disturbed spirits.
The pastor is generally the object of
their animadversions. He does not
preach to suit them, or visit as he
should, or conduct the meetings of the
church in a proper manner, or dis
cipline with vigor ; he is too social or
too reserved, too popular or too un
popular, too rigid or too liberal. Let
the poor man do the best he chd, they
are always seeking to disturb his peace
of mind, to depreciate his worth, or
abridge Li® influen ;e. And this, bad
as it is, is not the worst of their con
duct. In time they drive him from
his people, who perhaps are attached
to him, but who, strong as their at
tachments may he, will allow him to
y depart, rather than have division and
a wroug spirit in the church. M-uiy a
church is kept in a c instant bta'e ol
uneasiness on account of these caiping
spirits, and rendered feeble by theii
mischief making
I recently visited a church, the pas
tor of which had resigned li s office.—
The church has had three pa-tor
within about as many years. ‘‘Bn
why did your pastor leave ?” I asked.
“Because a lew individuals were
dissatisfied,” was the answer.
“Were the people, as a whole, uni
ted in him ?”
“Yes, very nu cb so, and these same
men drove away our former pastor,
whom we all liked.”
“But how came yon to permit so
unjust a thing ?”
“O, some of these men paid a pref
ty heavy tax, and such men, you know,
can unsettle a minister, if they setom
for it.”
Now, for the mischievous, ruinous
work which this class of persons
doing in our churches, there is a rem
edy. It is in the church, and let it
be applied. Let the church conclude
that they can get along without their
aid, which they certainly can, tor such
members are assuredly a damage to
the church ‘pecuniarily. Let the
church give these members to under
stand, that their uurea-unable, queru
lons disatf ction. shad not drive from
them a past>>r in whom they are gen
erally and happily united, and if one
of rlie two parties must go, they, and
not the pastor, had better ask for a
letter of dismission.
And while the church is thus deci
ded, jet the pastor be faithful and at
fectionate. Let him not be driven
from his post hy those few trouble
some members. It they annoy him,
let him hear ir. He will, in his best
condition, be annoyed from some
source, and he may as well he annoy
ed from this source as from any. Le l
him go right on. treating these breth
ren as well as God’s grace will permit
him ; preach the gospel and live hy
it, and God will take good care of him
and in time, the rignt care of them
They will be found occupying their
own place.
Pastors, around whom your owi
people as a b idv, are gathering don’t

JOHN KNOX 8 DEATH-BED.
One morning his friends entered hi
apartment. He had been fighting, not
sleeping; wrestling, not resting; and
it n quired all God’s grace to bring
him off a c mqjnerer. To 1 day break
Jacob wre-I led w’itli ilie Angel <.t rh*
Covenant; and tnat long night Kn x
had pa-sed wr. sfling with the prmc
ot darkness. Like Bunyan’s pilgrim,
he met Apollvon in thrt_valley, and
their Bwords struck die in the shadow
ot death. The lion isstid to he bold
est in the storm. ILs roar is never so
loud as in the paut.es • t the thunder,
and when the liglifnii g flaslie-, bright
est are the lla-hes ■ his cruel -\. ;
and even s > he who as a roaring lion
goetll about seeking wh mi he u ay de
vonr, often seizes the hour of nature’s
distress to assault us with his fiercest
temptations. Satan tempted Job
wh. i he was bowed down with giie l .
Satan tempted Jesus w.ien he wa
faiut with hanger. Satan tempted
Peter when he was weary with watch
ing, and heart-broken with sorrow’ ;
and reserving, perhaps, his grand as
sault on us for times that offer Him a
great advantage. It was when Km-x
was worn ont,left alone, his head laid
low on a dying pillow, that Satan, like
a roaring lion, leaped upon his bed.—
Into the room the enemy had come ;
he stands by his bed ; he reminds him
that he had been a standard bearet
for the truth, a reformer, a hold con
fessor, a distinguished sufferer, the
very foremost man of his time and
comurv ; he attempts to persuade him
that, surely such rare merits deserve
the crown. The Christian conquered
through Him that loved him.— Dr.
Guthries “Gospel in Ezekiel .”
REFORMINGANABUSE.
The Engl sh government has hereto
fore, in spire of the remonstrances of
of its Christian subjects, recognized
the pnbl c idolatrous holidays in India,
of which there are over forty in the
year, with marked official honor, an
nouncing them a week beforehand in
the government Gazette, and closing
the Treasury, Custom-house, and all
public houses, as on the Christian
Sabbath, thus suspendii g all public
business. Dr. Duff, however, now an
nouocea that they have begun to with
draw their official support from these
institutions of heathenism. They have
reduced the number one half; have
abolished the present sys em of adver
tisingtbem, and will hereafter keep
open the government offices, on the
holidays still allowed, for the transac
tion of public business. This, though
not all that the sincere Christian could
desire, Dr. Duff regards as “so vast a
stride of improvement on the past” as
to give good reason to thank God and
take courage.
COME, FOR HE DELIGHTETH IN
MEBOY.
“I will have mercy and not sacrifice;
for I am not come to call the right
eous, but sinners to repentance. —
Matt, ix: 18.
It was great encouragement which
the Psalmist held out, when he said,
“With the Lord there is mercy.” But
how much greater is the encourage
ment given us by the prophet, who
assures us that “He delighteth in mer
cy.” It is never said that He delight
eth in wrath, or delighteth to punish.
But He delighteth in mercy, as if it
gave Him joy to see the sinner come,
near the sinner plead, and to pardou
the sinner’s guilt.
Shall I feel reluctant to go to a per
son for that which he delights to give?
Surely no. If I.need it ;if I desire it;
ts the Lord delights to confer it, what
can I desire more ?
Mercy in God is just adapted to
misery in man. God’s mercy glorifies
itseltin man’s misery.
Come toesuß, if you would glorify
Gud, if yon would please Him, it you
would obtain mercy for yonrseli.—
Come, for He will n juice over yon with
joy. Come, for it wj 11 gratify His
mercy to find you at His feet.
Satan may suggest many disconr
agements to your spirit ; believe him
not. Unbelief may throw many oh
stacles in vonr way ; press through
them all. Your own heart may mis
give you, hut yield not to fear. Let
ins silence all: *He delighteth in
mercy.” Does Satan say, “You are
too gieat a sinner to be pardoned ?”
Answer, “He delighteth in mercy.”
Does conscience say, “It is too late
now ?” Reply, “He delighteth in
mercy.” Does the haidness of your
heart lise up to discourage you ? Still
urge the testimony, “He delighteth in
mercy.”
Blessed, thrice blessed assurance is
this, Jesus delights to show mercy ;
therefore He will show mercy to me.

NO REPENTANCE-NO PEACE
Have yon ever heard the great clock
of St. Paul’s in London ? At mid day,
in the roar of business, when carriages,
and carts, and wagons, and omnibuss
es, go rolling through the streets, how
many never hear that great clock
strike unless they live very near it 1
But when the work of the day is ovei,
ami the roar of business has passed
away, —when men are gone to sleep,
and silence reigns in London, —then
at twelve, at one, at two, at three, at
four, the bound ot the cb-ck may he
heard for miles around. Twelve !
One!—Two ! —Three !—Four !—How
that clock is heard by many a sleep
lesH man ! That clock is just like the
coiiecience ot the impenitent man—
while he has health and strength, and
goes on in t he whirl of business, he will
not hear his cou-uience. He drowns
and silences its voice by plunging into
the world. He will not allow the in
ner man to speak to h'tu. But the
day will come when conscience will
he In-aid, whether he lik-.sit or not.
Tneday will come when its voice will
sound in his ears, and pierce him 1 ke
a sword. Tne time will cmne when
he must retire from the world, and lie
down on ihe sick-bed, and look death
in the lace. And then the clock of
conscience, that solemn clock, will
sound m his heart, and, if he has not
repented, will bring wretchedness, and
misery to his soul. Oh no! write it.
down in the tablets of your heart—
without repentance there is no peace !

APPLYING THE SERMON.
An imbed e, belonging to Peebles,
had been sitting at a church for some
time, listening attentively to a strong
representation from the pulpit of the
guilt of deceit and falsehood in Chris
i tan characters. He was observed to
turn red, and grow very uneasy, until
at last, as if wincing under the sup
posed at ack up ui Icmselt personally,
tie roared out, *‘l <deed, min ster.
tin re’s ma r leers in Pe.ebl 6 than me.”
Dean Ramsay's Reminiscences.
Thf* trill ot our Privateersmen in New
York will soon take place. One ol their
counsel has been sent to Fort Lafayette, and
we pivMjnie others will share his fate il they
do their duty to thi ir clients. A dispatch
from New York says:
Sixty-six important criminal cases are to

twenty of the Southern privateersmen, from
the privateers Savannah, Sumter, and Jeff.

Found Dead.—Ai 4 o’clock, P. M„ 21st
Sept., a man, supposed to be an Irishman,
5 feet 6 inches highing, weigh 150 to
160 pounds, aged about 30 years was
found dead near No. 8 1-2, on Central
Railroad, Burke Cos., Ga. It is supposed
his death was caused by falling from the
cars. He was dressed in uniform, blue pants
and blue flannel shirts, with bayonet and
cartridge box. On his person was found a
one dollar bill on the Bank of Columbus,
and 35 cent.- in silver. No papers were
found upon the person to designate his name
or whereabouts.
Muldrough’s Hill—lts Importance to
THE CoNFEDERATES.-The Nashville Union,
20th, referring to the report that this strong
point had been occupied by the Confeder
ates, furnishes the following description:
Muldrough’s Hill is a precipitous i idge,
which is tunnelled for the track way of the
Louisville and Nashville railway, about
thirty-three miles from Louisville and one
hundred and fifty two miles from Nashville
It is regarded as the strongest position lrom
Louisville to Nashville.
The occupation of Muldrough’s Hill by
confederate troops at once liberates Southern
Kentucky from the domination of the usur
per, breaks up the blockade, as far as that
fine section of country is concerned, open,
up to the Confederate States a country
which can replenish their commissariat,
furnish thousands of as brave volunteers to
their cause as ever handled a bayonet, and
throw the Lincoloites on the defensive in
stead of the offensive. Its importance can
not be over-estimated at this time.
Items from the New York Herald of the
2*th.
A package, containing $7160 67, was seized
by the United States Marshal yesterday at the
American Express Company on information
that it belonged to a Southern banking insti
tution, for which Mr. W. H. Thompson, Assis
tant United States Marshal, took a receipt,
subject to the order of Mr. Murray, United
States Marshal.
The government is about to investigate the
alleged frauds committed upon it in the sale of
horses furnished by Pennsylvania contractors.
Thednspector at Perryville, Maryl: nd, within
the last ten days has condemned between four
and five hundred army wagons, and notified
the manuiacturers to remove them.
Captain Henry J. McMahon, late of the Six
ty-ninth regiment, is organizing a flying artil
lery company, to be attached to the Irish
Brigade, Fourth Regiment, Col. Thomas Fran
cis Meagher. His experience as an artillerist
in the Mexican war will warrant him in taking
charge of a battery, which he intends will not
be excelled by any in the service.
Private letters in this city from England
and the Continent show that the fever created
in England, growing out of fear that Cotton
would become scarce, in consequence of the
blockade of our Southern ports, is subsiding,
and that a decided reaction is taking place.—
A large amount of cotton procured before the
blockade by the manufacturers of New Eng
land, that cannot now be used in consequence
of tne bard times, has been offered to England.
Among the most significant signs of the
times is the razeeing (to use a nautical term)
of hotel hills. The hotel keepers themselves
seem to be alive to the necessity of some such
process. Accordingly we see the principal
hotels of New York reducing their prices of
board to suit the exigencies of the war.- The
St. Nicholas, Metropoli an and other great ho
t**ls have reduced their rales considerably.—
The Howard lias come down from two dollars
t > one dollar per day. Men who act on this
live and let live principle deserve to be sup
ported.
Our neighbors of St. John, N. 8., seem to
be driving a brisk trade with the rebel States.
A few days since the ship Alliance run the
blockade at Beaufort with an assorted cargo
from that port, and judging from the cargoes
arriving occasionally at this port from St. John,
the trade between said points seem to be re
ciprocal.
To-day the schooner Fellow Craft arrived
from St. John N. 8., with 168 barrels naval
stores and 77 packages which pre
sents anew feature in the iinjpirts from that
port.
The action, or rather decisive statement of
Lord Palmerston relative to Robert Mure, now
in Fort La Fayette, is very encouraging. The
noble Lord asserted that as Mr. Mure had be
come a citizen of the United States he could
not teclaim the protection of the British Gov
ernment from the punishment his evil deeds
had brought upon him.

We clip the following from the Charleston
Mercury , which is a sufficient refutation of the
aspersions sought to be cast upon this Compa
ny :
the government and the express compant.
It is understood that the Government will find
it necessaiy, and has taken measures to employ,
to a considerable extent, tlie Southern Express
Company, as an agent for collections and re
mi tance in the revenue department of the Gov
ernment. In order to secure the interest of the
Government, we learn that Mr. Memminger has
prescribed and required a bond, for the faithful
performance of these duties by the Express
Company, in the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars, which has been promptly given, with
approved sureties,

Lincoln’s Force on- the Mississippi.—
The Memphis Appeal of the 20th, says :
From the information which we have re
ceived from various sources, we judge that
the available forces up the liver, are dis
t ibuted as follows : At St,. Louis, 15,000 ;
Cup Girardeav, Cairo and Bird’s Point,
12,000; Old Fort Jefferson (nine miles
above Columtius,) about 10,000 ; Paducah,
10,000; Louisville, 5,000. At Jefferson
City, Mo., there are probably also about
4,000. This is a sum total of fifty six thous
and, which, we think, is not far from a true
estimate.
Affairs at Richmond and the West—The
Fleet*
(Special to the Charleston Mercury.)
Richmond, Sept. 24 —The Cabinet is now in
session. Wide disagreements are known to
exist among the members as to the future con
duct of the war. Mr. Benjamin, whom Presi
dent Davis has appointed Seeretary of War, ad
interiih, is understood to be a strong advocate
of a purely defensive policy. Others in the
Cabinet, however, are for a vigorous and in
stantaneous aggressive movement.
So much has been predicted and so little veri
fied with regard to the military operations in
Western Va., that all accounts from that sec
tion are now regarded as doubtful. I have
positive information, however, that Gen. Rosen
chanz had crossed the Gauley River and effect
ed a junction with Cox and that an important
battle is imminent in ihat quarter.
The naval preparations at the North are rep
resented to be on the grandest scale. The ex
peditions against the Southern coast are to sail
m about one week from this drtie. It is gener
ally believed here that the points threatened
are Brunswick- Ga., and Mobile, Ala.
The health of the President is improving.—
He was at his office to-day.
Special Despatch to the Savannah Republican.
SAILING OF THE FEDERAL FLEET.
The following dispatch was filed for us on
Monday, but being considered contraband, our
correspondent forwarded it to us by mail:
Charleston, Sept. 23.—Gen. Ripley has re
ceived a telegram announcing that the fleet re
cently fitting out at Old Point Comfort, had
saiieu south.
The commander of the forces in North Caro
lina has telegraphed Gov. Pickens for a regi
ment of soldiers to aid his own forces, in anti
cipation of another descent on that coast.
The Richmond Dispatch ascribes the large
amount of sickness in our army to the effects
upon the atmosphere of the large quantities of
fre&h earth that are thrown up about the camps,
and the depressing influence ol inaction.
AFFAIRS IN NEW YORK.
A highly intelligent gentleman, who left j
New York a few days since, informs us ;
that the financial condition of the North is ;
aught but encouraging. The stock of specie
in the banks is rapidly diminishing, and
mercantile men say that people there are
hoarding their money. It is estimated that
thirty millions of dollars have already been
thus secreted. The Treasury notes put.
out by the Lincoln Government at over
seven per cent, interest are rapidly returned
to the bani?g. It is the opinion of the best
judges that these institutions will soon have
to suspend all over the North. Trade is at
a stand still. A large majority of commer
cial houses have already failed, and there is
hardly a day but someone of them topples
to the ground.
The volunteer enlistments for the army
of the North have ceased. Drafting has
already been resorted to in New Jersey,
and will hereafter be the only mode in their
power of recruiting their armies. At pres
ent the vacancies by deaths and desertions
exceed the number of voluntary enlistments.
Conscription is now their only resource.—
It is plain enough that an army thus con
stiluled is not to be depended on.
Oar informant thinks the peace party is
gainini ground, although free speech and
the freedom, ol the press nave been suppress
ed. It would s-eni that the influence ofthe
Catholic! hurch is hostile to the war, and
these, with the commercial classes, make
the basis of a strong peace pi rty. The war,
on the part of lhe Republicans, is becoming
every day more and more plainly a war
upon slavery, and the opposition are rally
ing upon this ground. Such isthe substance
of the account derived from a gentleman
who left New York hut a week ago.-Rich’
mond Examiner.
Seizure of Bacon and Leather. —We
understand that in compliance w th the pro
clamation of the Governor, a large quantity
of bacon an i leather, on route tor Virginia,
and the property of speculators, was st ized
at the depot of the North Carolina Railroad
in this city, on Wednesday. We hear, also,
that a quantity of bacon, bought on specus
lation, and destined for a point out of the
State, has heen seized al High Point.
Speaking of speculators, we are constrain
ed to say that glaring attempts at monopol
izing the article of bacon have been made in
this quarter. One concern, composed of two
inviduals not engaged in mercantile busi
ness, and paying no merchant’s license,
have bought a large quantity of bacon at 18
cents or less per pound, and are selling at
25 cents. Now, we are willing to see any
man make a reasonable profit on his invest
ments, but we do contend that a profit of
seven cents a pound on bacon is most unrea
sonableand extortionate. This is no time for
taking selfish udvantag< sos the necessities
ofthe country. Instead of doing so, men
should be content “to live und let live.—
Raleigh Register, 21st.
LOOK OUT FOR BRUNSWICK !
Our despatches this morning concerning
the movements of the Lincoln fleet, will ar
rest attention. Wehuve little doubt of'their
intention to make a descent on our coast at
an early day, if not within the present week.
The account from Richmond is corroborated
by an enigmatical ietler received here on
Monday from a southern lady in New York,
she having selected a peculiar form of ex
pression to Lincoln officials in
case her letter should be in ter big* l ‘n. ft
And now the simple question is, are we
prepared to receive them ? Gov. Brown is
said to have stat< and that he had ten thousand
armed men whom he could throw on the
coast, in a few hours’ warning. If this be
the fact, they have no business another hour
in the up-country ; indeed, they should have
been here long since, well drilled and pre
pared for action. If the authorities ever
intend to move, they have no time to spare.
We await the result.
Whilst the enemy are about thundering
at our gates, we cons ss we do not like the
aspect of affairs at Richmond.—Sav. Rep.
SINGULAR PROPIIESIL
We translate the following from the Cour
ier des Etats Unis ofthe 29th ult. ;
Although many ofthe predictions made by
Nostradamus, (especially those concerning
the deaths of Henry IV. and Louis XVI,)
have been completely verified, they are gen
erally discredited in our times. But in the
“Prophetics et vaticinations” of that great
man, vol. 2d, (editi >n of 1609,) we find the
following which would seem to deserve some
attention :
“About that time (1861,) a great quarrel
and contest will arise in a country beyond
the seas—America. Many poor devils will
be hung, and many poor wretches killed by
a punishment o her than the cord. Upon
my faith, you may believe me. The war
will not cease for ft ur year-, at which none
should be at all astonished or surprised, for
there will be no want of haired or obstinacy
in it. At the end of that time, prostrate and
almost ruined, the people will re-embrace
each other in great joy and love. 5 ’
“Now here is something very confirma
tory of the prophetic geniusot'Nostradumus,
but in no way consoling to us poor devils
and wretches, (pauvivs diabh-s et pauvres
heres,) who will have to suffer under this
war for four years. Let us hope that the
astrologer, was mistaken, at least on this
point.’’ Exchange.
A Bushel of Corn for 2 pounds of
Bacon. —We understand that some farmers
are selling corn in this city at 50 to 60 cents
per bushel, and buying bacon at 25 cents
per pound. Had they commenced convert
ing their corn into bacon at the right time,
a bushel of corn would have fattened at
least 50 lbs. of meat. Thpy lose 48 lbs.
to the bushel by neglect ! This is one of
the lessons taught by the war, in a manner
that will make it useful hereafter. Hereto
fore the advantage rs saving their own ba
con has been argued to planters by agricul
tural and other papers to a demonstration,
but it needed a bit of experience like that
now endured to give it a practical impression.
We ventue the prediction that it will be
many years before two pounds of bacon are
again bought with a bushel of corn.
N. B. that if the farmers had brought in
meal instead of corn, they would have been
able to barter it at the rate of 4 lbs. to the
bushel—the price of meal being still one
dollar and upwards per bushel.—Columbus
