Still on ! still on ! The mists crept upward and into line yon wheeled, and on your muskets lay down, each man in place, to get scant rest, which even in the ex- haustion of those thirty-six hours of terrible marching you neither sought nor heeded. You were squarely across Lee’^ front, and had closed forever his last line of retieat. The enemy reaching your cavalry advance, iaw the serried line ol Union troopers. Gordon gathered and massed his men for their lasL charge. Tattered and hungry, worn by ceaseless marching and fighting, with no hope ot victory, with little possibility of escape, they closed their lines with a fidelity of discip line and soldierly resolution, to which words can do little jusiice— but which each soldier’s heart must recognize and honor. As the old guaitl close*l around their Emperor at Waterloo, so these lien closed round the tligsot their lost cause. My heart abhors their treason. Rut it warms beyond re- iraint to their manhood so grandly brave, even in disloyalty. Slowly they advanced to their last attack. No bailie yell, no crack ol the skir- nisher’s nile broke the strange still- tiess ot that SaDbalh morn. Steadi ly, silently they came, when Siteri- dan drew back Ins horseman, as parts some mighty curtain, and there stood the close-formed battalions o! your infantry, the cannon gleaming in the openings, quietly awaiting the coming ot Gordon’s men. Instinctively your enemy halted. Meanwhile Lee has turned back to meet Grant and surrender his com mand. Sheridan swung his caval ry around upon Gordon s left, and was about to charge, when Cusiar reached Longstrcel. As.-uranee of surrender was given, and the end had come. That Sabbath day, with tears and in sorrow, Southern men folded the banners ot the ‘’Lost Cause, and their bravest and best sought hon orably to bury them Horn sight for ever. How sail it is that poor ambitions, jealousies of race, the wretched greed of pel) and place, arid the mis erable hates ofsoJial rivalries,should so often disturb the hearty reconcil iation of that surrender and for a time revive the bitterness which you then sought to bury in a common grave. This hour ts no time tor polities. Mine not the lips, I t,rust, to intro duce them heie. But when l think of that heroic past, which your faces and presence so vividly recall, and then how trading, trickster politic cians, forgetful of what baptism of blood sealed the new birth of th* nation, seek to array races in need' less hostility, to exude the ignorance of the one and the brutal prejudices of the other, l would like to summon a guard, half from the rebel army of Northern Virginia and half from the loyal army of the Potomac, take such malcontents out, give them a drum-head court-martial, immediate execution and soldierly burial under the apple tree at Appomattox. most omineiit auil suggestive pfi. —oo yioughl of the text was n.-wue.-s ; there was to be a new heaven anil a new earth.

Peter described the manner in which the earth was to lie change ed and purified. It was to be. done Ly fire. Tne arguments to !>e drawi; from Scripture were numerous. The leading idea was redemption. Not only was man to be redeemed, but restored to the possession of an in lierilance from which he had been alienated by sin. This argument was fully explained and strongly enforced. The earth had been the abode of sinless beings in the per-, sons of our first parenLs. Tne chib dren of Israel believed m an ear.hly paradise restored to them us a elm sen people. God himself had dwell on earth, in the Shekinari, between the Cherubim ia lfie temple at Jeiu Salem; and tfie Divine Redeemer appeared on the earth in the person of the babe of Bethlehem. Besides this, the Holy Spirit now dwells and ministers in the church on earih At the resurrection the saints shall arise with bodies glorified, spiritual bodies, but bodies still, and they shall live and reign with Christ up on the earth. The earth will lie. changed to adapt it to the new con dition and wants of the rt-m saints, but it wiil be the earth still. There shall be no more sea, or storm, or disease, or death. The grossness of the earth, as of our mortal bodies shall be purified and changed. The speaker dwell on the un- scriptural and fanciful idea of heav en as popularly entertained.

Brow* CHARLESTON HOTEL E. If. IACKSON, Proprietor. CHARLESTON S. C A Eemarkable Sermon. Those who attended the Presby terian Church yesterday morning had the satisfaction of listening to one of the most remarkable discourses perhaps ever delivered in this city. The sermon was preached by Jos. 1L Wilson, D. D., pastor of the church ; and his subject was “ The New Heaven and the New Earth,” founded on the first three verses of ihe 21st chapter of Revelations. Dr. Wilson is a man whose dis courses are uniformly able and inter esting—full of fresh and vigorous thought, showing profound erudi tion, anil careful elaborate prepara tion. But, as with other men of his class, there are limes when his whole being seems imbued with a great theme; he rises above the plain of his ordinary preaching, and speaks with an authority anti a power above and beyond himself. The conditions j j roin destruction, of such an almost inspired c-tiorl are ^ however, seems not entirely accu that the speaker has discovered, in ra ^ e which represents Mr. Greeley In the last issue of the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist, we find the following article, which is copied en tire, to show the calm, sober view, even of the religious element of the country’, respecting the Cincinnati nominations. This journal is one of the leading organs of the denomina tion it represents, and Baltimore has shown herself as loyal to her suffer ing brethren of the remote South, as the needle to the pole, or the light artn to the volitions of the brain in the human organization : The Political Situation.—The political world of the United Slates has been stirred-to its profoundest depths hv the nomination of Horace Greeley for the Presidency by the Cincinnati Convention—which also nominated Gov. Brown, of Missouri, for the Vice Presidency. This nom ination, which might have been sup posed to have no strength except in the North, seems to have its chiet strength in the South, of whose in stitutions he has been the life-long opponent. But it seems to be con sidered in the South, that its present and future are more important than its past, and that its true course is uphold any legitimate agencies of deliverance which promise to restore its peace and prosperity. As a drowning man ‘would not re fuse to be rescued from death by an old enemy, if such should generous ly come to the assistance, the South is ready to receive aid from any quarter which will help to rescue ii The illustration, the Scriptures some truth which has eluded the grasp of others, and the knowledge of which he believes to be essential to a harmonious and perfect system of theology, and to the happiness of mankind. Only in. dependent and original thinkers preach such sermons, and he who produces a half dozen of that order as on enemy of the South. His abo litionism seems to have been an honest fanaticism, which is at all events more respectable than the patronage of negroes by Gen. Grant, who once said he would sooner join the South than use his sword for ab olition purposes. As the friend of amnesty and peace, Mr. Greeley tempt to nominate straight out Dem ocratic party candidate® to profit by the threatened split in the Republi can party would be a blunder worse than a crime. The mistake the Democracy committed in 1S68, by nut nominating Chase instead of Seymour, cost the country four years of the most detestable government the Republic was ever cursed with. A little mistake now in 1S72 would increase the evils we suffer, fasten corruption still more upon the coun try, and inflict upon it another term of Grant, endangering the very life of true republicanism. The almost universal appeal made to us in the North by the people South, to sink for the moment all personal preju dice and p arty pride, in order to deal the death blow to Grantism as embodied in national corruption and sectional persecution, calls for a prompt, generous and hearty in dorsement of Horace Greeley, which we hope the Rochester Con vention will not tail to proclaim.— Should the Democratic party of Baltimore insist on making indepen dent party nominations, and (Jisre** gard the evident desire of the people to replace, greedy Grant by honest Horace, the whole country will be sadly disappointed and betrayed, and Grant’s continuance in the pow er he has so criminally abused wilt become assured. Tub Shallowness of Betting. The habit of offering to bet, which besets many persons inordinary dis course, is A mark of untutored intel lect. The man who has no better argument is perpetually offering to bet: it seems as if tie wanted rea soning powers, ami therefore he backs every trivial allegation with a bet. This is an expedient, howev er, which no rational |»ersoii should resort to. A company of well in formed and sensible men will enter tain each other with easy conversa tion lor a whole evening, and amidst lighter mailers, settle many ques tions in morals or m logic, without ever so much as thinking ol a bet. )t is no more necessary to reasoning than swearing oi " slang are to lan guage, but, on the contrary, disgrace it; and hence, even as a matter ol taste, the sensible man rejects it. Several citizens of Hall county have been prospecting for gold aud diamonds lately, with some success. The steeple of the Pre *bj terian church in Columbus, ray* the Enquirer, is 164 feet iu height. f Coiom-1 John Forsyth, the well- known political editor of the Mobile Register, and a member of the Dem ocratic National Committee, has written some interesting letters home to his paper. From his last, we ex tract the following paragraphs r*- girding the future action ot Lite Dem ocratic party: “I have been called a ‘Bourbon,’ and I know it is a very pretiy thing to say, ‘SiamI by your guns,* but I trust 1 have good si use enough to know that when your guns do not reach, they must be movt d up io withm range ot the enemy. Hence, while 1 greatly prefer lhal the Dem ocratic parly J*tr se> under its own flag, sliail prove ihe Moses to loud •is out of the land of bondage, i shall he sure to follow’ the Moses who mourns the peaks of I’isguh and shows us the Way.” ‘ However, and in whatsoever di- r *cti*m we move, we should move together, and thus preserve, for pres ent efficiency and for In ure useful ness, the unbrokt n integiiiy of our party- J say it is premature io de termine npoujlu course. The Na tional Committee has purposely giv en two mouths lor consideration of the important question. It saw that there was no me.l of precipitancy. At this moment, we hold in ihe palms ol our hands the destinies of the Presidential election. Cincinnati has already made us the arbiters in ihe case, and our ability to beat Gram, by siding with Greeley, is already assured. So much we have clearly gained, so tar. Nor are we in dan ger of losing that advantage. The Greeley parly can afford to w’ait tor us, because it must wail for us, and cannot budge a step without us In deed, Mr. Greeley is open iu the declaration that if we do not help him, lie w ill not stand to be crushed between the upper and nether mill stones, but will come down. But he is not a man lo resign hope of the glittering piize, while we are under <>ur ‘thinking cap.’ Nor do l per ceive that a little suspense will cause them to value us the less, or tend in the 1* asi lo narrow the breach be tween the Republican factions.”' *‘iVe know not what sixty days may develop. As strange things as have happened may happen again by the 9lh of July. Who believed sixty days ago that the bugbear of Radical invincibility, which has been the cause oi such spasmodic efforts to ‘depart’ and ‘passivise’ and aban don the firm and only sate ground of truth, was so near an explosion ? Now we see it was but a bubble, needing only to be pricked to col lapse into nothingness. Grant is doomed the day and the hour the De >.ocralic Convention says, “\Ve nominate the Cincinnati ticket.” Don’t be uneasy about the he ding of this schism whilst theie is a gho-t of a ctiance fur the Democracy to throw its weight into the scales. Don’t believe that Grain will not fight it out on the Phil •delplna fine, and if he is choked off, don’t be sure that it will not be to take venge ance on bis own deserting adherents “Well, then, we are in no danger of flanking movements from either of the forces in the field. The split is a real one, and means the final disintegration ot the Radical party. It has lived its day, and it goes to its grave and the final judgment of pos terity. Then the Democratic party has lime to think aud to ‘build wise ly.’ If we can do no better, we are sure that we can slay Grant, the gi ant, with the bucolic Horace; the disciple of Tubal Cain, who ‘fash ioned the sword and the spear,’ with the pen oi the civilian and the ploughshare of the man of cabbages, who ‘knows about farming.” But may we not do better ? It is at least worth the thought. Of this anon.” •‘By appointment, not of my seek ing, 1 had the honor of an interview this morning, with a gentleman I have long been perfectly acquainted with, but never saw before, to-u’it: the gentleman who is now selling the fashion of white hats. Had I space, it would puzzle me to tell my readers anything new about Mr. Greeley. He was very fr^mk in his talk in the main, and 1 followed his example and told him the South would go for him, if we could do no better, to beat Grant; but we thought we could do belter and were going to give it a fair trial.

And I am ready to swear that had he been Southern born and bred, he would have slept with a cockade in his night-cap and have been a ‘red hoi’ before breakfast secessionist! I do not think he would have ‘licked’ his niggers hard ; for he has a benevo lent look—but as. Grant has said about himself, he would havejusi ns soon owned slaves as any other kind of property.” “J.
