Tuesday Horning, April ». 18» In conformity to the wishes of sovend persons who ere deeirens of knowing the teoits of the American petty, we again publish Choir princt- pice and earnestly commend them to the cut did consideration of the public. In onr opinion they are snch as wiUstond an experimental teat They constitute a platform opon which every true American can stand, no matter what his political predilections may heretofore, hare been. There principles have already met with each general acceptability as to loavo ao doubt In regard to their adoption by a rest majority of there who are Americans by birth. Most of the administration papers, as was tohare been expected, bitterly oppose them, not so much for their vainly imputed anti-republicanism they would have ns believe, as for a well groun ded fear that the party which espouses Arneri oanism will soon (if not already) be highly in the ascendancy.

We trust the time is past when people are to be ruled and directed in their political views by the dictates and desires of oltee seekers.

Tbo ay is raised la some quarters that Know Nothingism is “whiggery in disguise," and in tors oonnexion we taka occasion to observe that certain restless spirits have endeavored to tor- nieb evidence of the toct from an editorial in tbo Courier of the 29th alt.

It was supposed by many when the death of the Czar wae first an nounced, that an early cessation of hostilities ; would be toe result. Rather than Indulge in such anticipations, we may reasonably expect a more vigorous prosecution of the war by Al exander the yonng Emperor.

It is interesting to notice how calmly yet effectually Sam does his work. The Election. The election yesterday was carried on, and carried through, in the best spirit, and in manner that made it palpable (Vom the start that it was the fixed determination of toe pee* pie of New Orleans to take matters into their own hands, and to sottle for themselves, aa being the parties most deeply intereated in the result, the important issue of too day. It was plain to all who visited the polls da ring too progress of the balloting, that this election was going forward upon a principle. There were evidently heart, soul, determina tion in it; and one could see that any attempt to resist or impede, to stay or to defoat the clearly demonstrated will and wish of too great body of tho voters, would bo mot with the sternest and most practical rebuke. Thus, we are happy in having it in our pow. er to my, there were no such scenes of riotous disorder as we, unfortunately, have sometimes been compelled to witness and to deplore. Tho people went steadily up to too work before them and accomplished it.

(Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.] Murder and Suicide. Sr. Mart's, Ga., 22d March, 1855. Odr town bad scarcely recovered from toe ex citement caused by the late disastrous fire, be fore It is again thrown Into intense excitement Yesterday a negro girl who bad gone into the woods for thfi purpose of procuring fuel, came back and reported having seen what she called drunken men, lying in the woods. A number of oar citizens proceeded immediately to the place designated, and iotoeir horror discovered the body of a man and a little boy, tbeir throats cat, and toe neck of toe latter broken. The bodies were immediately recognized to be those of T. 8. Stiff and bis son, a child abont six years of age. It appears that Mr. Stiff was a man of very intemperate babite, and that for the last week be bad been partially insane. He left this town some ton days finco to go, as be said, into too country, instead of which, be wont into the woods for the purpose of de stroying his little son and himself. There can be no doubt that toe act was premeditated, as a razor, knwon to belong to him, was found lying opened by bis side. This circumstance, togeth er with the sequestrated spot where the body was found, left no doubt ti to the fact that the deed was premeditated and deliberate. A Coroner’s jury was summoned, whose ver dict was in accordance with toe above facts. Mr. Stiff was a carpenter by trade, formerly from Baltimore, Md., abont 50 years of age. He is supposed to have some relatives residing there. B. D. F. A Felon generally appears on the end of toe fingers and thumb.

"It is well known," rays that paper, “ that the vituperation of the Ger mans by tho British Parliament, on the occasion of the debate about tho Foreign Legion, had this effect, that it was thereafter impossilo for the British government to raise a single soldier In all Germany, as Lord Palmerston himself hat lately confessed. "That government now seeks suitable persons In America, and to this end has established principal agencies at Halifax and St Johns, and subordinate agencies in the larger towns of the Union, Buch an agoney, or more prop erly speaking, suoh a recruiting office is open ed at No. 31 Chatham, and destined especially for *ho recruiting of Germans. If any one has a mind to servo as a private, he gets thirty dol lars in hand, for which, however, three or five dollars is dodnoted for tho passage to Halifax, and half a dollar for certain commissions. Add to this other expenses, and some twenty dollars will still remain. As far as are can learn, this gratuity is paid at toe depot at Halifax or St. Johns. " The recruit receives his victuals, clothing and equipment besides eight dollars a month. He binds himself to servo three or five years as a British soldier. If he has been an officer or sub officer in any other servioe. he is promised a place of the same grade iu the army/’ ranch on Fogy Ira. Punch was flinging bis jokes at the head of old fogy ism—the empire of wich is said to be within the latitude of the British court—We take out some specimens of his missiles: A Juvenile Admiral.—"It Is with the great est astonishment we observed that an admiral had just been appointed of the age of 54! We have heard for many years past that the ser vice was going to the dogs; but we little ex peeted that within our lifetime it wonld have gone to worse than dogs—to puppies; and what do yon call a British admiral, under the age of 50, hut an arrant young puppy, that is only fit to float paper boats in the Serpentine ? We have come to a pretty pass, indeed, when mere boys, who hare never known wbat the gout is, and can venture on deck probably with out the aid of a crutch, are given the command of a fleet, and this, too, when we hare admirals on the list, of the matured ages of 70, 80, and 90—steady-going, experienced men, who can neither see, hear, talk nor walk! It is reducing onr naval supremacy to little better than child’s play; and we tremble for the honor of our country when it is pnt, as thoughtlessly as if it was a toy, into the hands of striplings, that but a few years hack would have been thought complete babies."

Trae, we have no such offieers of veritable infantry, bat if our army Colonels are none of thim children in arms, most of onr Generals are in their second childhood. Our Octogenarians.—The chief command in Ireland has been bestowed on Lord Seaton, a veteran of eighty, who must he ve>y ambitions of dying with "harness on his back,” or be would never consent to be saddled with heavy responsibilities at this late period of his exis tence. Looking to the mode in which appoint ments are given to the veriest veterans, we shonld come to the conclusion that it is necess ary for a candidate to be eighty in order to reach toe height ef official be-eighty-tudo. (The very gloomy nature of this joke is accoun ted for by the melancholy circumstance out of which it has arisen.) Officers up to their Business.—In Gneral Wolfe’s faTorite song soldiers are described as men "whose bosinoss Is to die.” That may be; bat it dees net follow that it is advisable to se lect for generals those officers who have so far go£on in the bnsiness of dying as to have one foot in toe graTe. dred slaveholders, while two-flfths of tho nholo population ore Germans. Thore is no probabil ity that the number of slaveholders will In crease. Tho crisis in the eontest there between slavery and freedom is passed. Their German blood is the best guarantee of freedom and prosperity, and they will soon beoome what they ought to become, a firm barrier against the influence of suoh men as Douglas and Ms fellow*, who have been successful only in western Mis souri, outside of German influence.

Y. Leader. Underground Operations.—The abolition ists are yet at work in onr city, removing slaves from the State, by their underground opera tions. On Thursday night last a valuable negro man, named John, the property of Mr. A. In- loes, made his escape and has not since been heard of. We have little or no donbt, that this fellow has made his way to land by the Rappa hannock, York, or Pamunkey rivers,-where he will endeavor to secure passage on some of the 8l xall wood craft and thereby effect his escape to the North. The people in these sections of the county shonld keep a look oat for strange servants, and’ arrest them whenever they make tbeir appearance. We have id onr midst a number of abolition emissaries, who sre enticing slaves to leave their homes, where they are well,fed, clothed and attended to in sickness, to fled to too North to have the privilege of starving, as thousands of fugitives are now doing—not for any they have for toe negroes, or any desire to see them free—but for toe almighty dollar wbichl these ignorant creatures earn, in various ways, while nnder toe control of their masters. Slaves in Virginia and in Richmond particularly, are the happiest class of laborers in toe Union.— They have no care for the morrow—no f&raiies to provide for, no notes to pay, no responsibili ties to meet—nothing bnt their regular duties to perform—to eat, drink, and be merry—and wonld neser think of leaving tbeir happy homes but for toe serpent-tongned emissaries, who whispered hopes in their ears that can never be realized, and who indneo them to commit crime to raise means to get them to the North, where they have the glorious privilege of starv ing in damp cellars and in the open air.

The Mobile Regester, giving a description of a Masked Ball which took place in that city on the 14th instant, goes off into the following rha psodies : ‘At length the pleasures of the dance ceased, the sound of music was hashed. Each one’s hope had been attained—each heart had reali zed its wish, and each brow beamed with the sparkles of delight—was crowned with a bloom ing wreath of happiness. May never a flower from that garland be withered, but bloom in perennial brightness—may the page of memory never be stainted with a darker spot than the recollection of that evening’s entertainment— Long shall we remember it as one of the gayest and happiest throngs we ever mingled in— where are forgot its care, and youth wore its sunniest smile; where intellect flashed, and wit sparkled, and beauty reigned:: while the fes tive lamps shed their dazzling radiance over all that was beautiful in color and graceful in mo tion; and music breadtbed her dnicet strains wooing the keen sense to pleasure, calming the on softening the heart.’ * Germans in Texas.—The German popula tion is destined to have a powerful influence in Texas. The New Orleans Picayune learns, by a letter from Strassbnrg, which is published in the National Gazette of Switzerland, that the Socialist party in Alsace is about to emigrate en masse to Texas, where one of their chiefr, too well-known Victor Considsrant, has pur chased a large quantity of land. The first de parture of emigrants is to toko place daring the ensuing spring. We loam from a lecture recently delivered in New York, by Fred Kapp, on too Coloniza tion of Texas by the Germans, that it is only within the past ten years that Texas has been considered an object of interest and importance. The first colony of Germans numbered about ten thousand zealous Protestants, principally of tho Lutheran confossion, and ifernnhuters, (toe German Society of Friends.) They fled from religions and political persecution, and found a more qniet home in Toxas, though even there they wore very much borrassed by tho natives and their own countrymen, who had previously emigrated. Tboy settled bo- tween the Sabino and IUo Grande rivers, with tiie Sierra Mwlro for the westorp boundary, in a country whioh Texan policy had endeavored to closo to European influence. There were at that time but a fow thousand people, living in small settlements liko those of Gonzales and San Antonio. But whilo tho emigration of free mon was discouragod, considerable grants of land had been mode to emigrants from Louisia na, Florida, and other slave States, on condition of pormanent settlement, in order to prop up slavery, which was fearful of losing greund. After the Toxas Declaration of Independence there was another large emigration. The Ger mans aro free, social, generous, and indepen dent in tbeir manners, and all are enemies to slavery. Tber success iu cotton-growing threat ens the existence of slavery, which will soon receive the death-blow. No German hinders the flight of a slave.

Something for Tailors.—A young lady, re cently returned from a boarding school, being asked at the table if she wonld take some more cabbage; replied: By no means, Madam; gas- tronimical satiety admonishes me that I hare arrived at the uttimate of culinary deglutination consistent with the creed of Aesculapius.’ A paddy, writing form the west, says pork is so plenty that every man yon mot is a hog. ‘I hate to hear people talk bohind one’s hack,’ as the robber said when the constable called ‘step thief’!’ Oh! dear, can’t breathe !’ said a sick wife. ‘Don’t try dear,’ said her husband, with affeo- tionate solicitude.’ A clergyman, when the contribution box re turned with little silvor in it, said he never be fore understood the text "Alexanander, the cop persmito, did me much eviL” “Patrick, you fool, wbat makes you stale af ter that rebit when your gun has no lock on ?” "Hash ! hash I my darling, the rabit don’t know that!” A Bad Bachelor.—"Mr Jones, don’t you think marriage is a means of grace?” "Cer tainly, my doar madam; anything is a means of grace that breaks up pride and leads to repen tance.” Soene closes with a mop handle.

C Garlington, Esq., of South Carolina, a graduate of the class of 1842, has been selected to deliver tbo next commoiiaemont address before the two literary societies of Franklin College. ‘Jim, I boliovo Sam’s got no truth in him.’ ‘You don’t know, nigga; dare's more truth in dat nigga dan all de res on de plantation. ‘How do yot make dat?’ ’Why, be never lot any out.' Candidate for Governor.—Tho Democracy of Tennessee met in Convention in Nashvillo on Tuesday last, and nominated Andrew John son, tho present Governor for re-election. Tho contest, we presumo, will bo between him and tbo Hon. M. P. Gentry, who has announced him self a candidate, and we obsorve no move on too part of tho Whigs to make a Domination. 1 Word to Planters—Advertising mer chants. It is a sound Democratic dogma, and a canon of trade, to sell where yon can get the beet pri ces, and to bay where yon can get toe best bar gains. Now, if a merchant is very anxions to sell his wares, he is very certain to advertise. We, therefore, refer onr country friends, who are desirous of-obtaining bargains to consult onr adveatising columns before they lay in their Spring supplies. They will be very apt to find there the names of those merchants who will offer them the best bargains. The Result In lev Hampshire. The New Hampshire papers aceonnt in vari ous ways for the total overthrew of toe Demo cratic party in that State. Tne Manchester Democratic Gazette takes comfort from toe idea that “the Democratic organization ie still sup ported by an army of of 27,000 trae men, while the Whig vote dwindlea down to 4,000, and toe Abolition vote is hardly sufficient to make a respectable eonnt." This latter piece of inform ation is fatal to toe arguments of the Southern Democratic presses. They insist that toe vic tory in Now Hampshire is altogether an Aboli* tion triumph ; and ifthis ground be taken from by an orthodox New Hampshire Democratic print, the eanse of old-fashioned Democracy may suffer, especially in Yirginia. The Concord Statesman, (Whig,) on the other hand, thinks that if the battle had been fonght npon the is sue of the “Compromise of 1820” alone, deser ters from the Democratic ranks wonld have been counted by thousands. It says that “although seme people will assign one circumstance as toe cause of this thorough revolution and some an other, yet it is an aggregation ofcanses which hare done the work." The paper first named consoles itself that “a considerable number of honest Democrats will one day beoome satisfied that they are operating with their old enemies." It tons confesses that the party itself furnished the means of its own demolition, and finds com fort in the alleged foot that Know Nothingism has accomplished the work “of annihilating toe Abolition party.” We do not expect, therefore, to see the argument renewed that the late rout was an “Abolition triumph.”—National Intel: ligeneer. Fancy Dogs.—A reeent traveller in South America, who a'ccompanied a number of Jumma Indians on a tapir hunt, says that besides the hunters, their party was composed of most of the women and boys of the village, together with a score or two of dogs. Of the latter he adds: ‘‘These dogs were curious to look at. A stran ger, ignorant of the customs of the Jummas, would have been at some lore to aceonnt for the peculiarity of their color. Such dogs I have never seen before. Some were of a bright scar let, others were yellow, others bine, and some were mottled with a variety of tints! What could it mean ? But I knew well enough. The dogs were dyed! Yes it is the custom among ma ny tribes of South American Indians, to dye not only their own bodies, bnt the hairy coat of their dogs, with brilliant colors obtained from veget able juices, such os the red huitic, the yellow rocoa, and the blue of the white indigo. The light gray, often white, hair of these animals ta- vors the staining process; and toe effect produ ced pleases the eye of their savage masters. On my eye the effect was strange and fantastical I could ntft restrain my laughter when I first scan ned these curs in their fanciful coats. Picture to yourself a pack of scarlet, and orange, and purple dogs !’l A Business Man.—A commercial gentloman recently arrived at Niagara Falls, just before midnight. He immediately brought a globe lantern, crossed to Goat Islantl^ examined the cataract, and in thirty-seven mroutes had fin ished np the great American irotfder, and was once more on his way to Albany.

The Effect of the New Hampshire Election— The Search for Baker, the Murderer of Poole Sloop of War Perry to bo Despatched to the Canaries—Will Dudley Mann Resign1- Warlike Tone of the Organ. There is a perfect calm in the federal city.— “Us soldiers”*—that is to say, Pierce and Cush ing, and tho ex-aid-de-camp of ex-Goveraor Bigler, Cel John W. Forney—affect a great deal of stole indifference'in regard to the result of toe Near Hampshire elections ;< bnt at ; heart they are chop faUefli and “sorely vexed.” Tho next email game of toe Brigadier is to ^oppose the election of Edt&ttnd Bnrke 'to the United 8. Senate. Should he accomplish that the Bos ton Poet will pronounce the administration vies torious on Pierce’s own donghill As the administration is now reduced to wait ing for “something to torn np,” the Poole mur- dor ie abont to be improved, to show the ener- K nnd activity of toe ^administration. The g Perry ieto be despatched from Norfolk in search of Baker, with instructions to ran a race with toe Grspexbot, and to boat her if possible. Gen. Pierce ie determined to head Gecrge Law in the manifestation of true American Princi ples. I should not be suprised if, shonld Yir ginia (as undoubtedly she will) be carried by the Know Nothings, Pierce were to apply for admission into ono of their lodges. Dudley Mann has not yet resigned. He is so mad with toe administration that he is den termined to wait till they ^kick him ont, which is abont to be done soon. Pierce would like to turn out Campbell, who begins to be a terri ble drawback; but he has not the courage to do so. He is too far committed to Bishop Hughes, and toe Catholic priesthood generally, to venture on a rapture. Campbell knows that, and fesls as secure, ih office daring the constiia- tion&l term of General Pierce as the latter him self. Dobbin has been very sick, bnt the idea of distinguishing himself in the Baker matter, has breathed new life into him. Yon may expect that some yonng and efficient officer, and no old fogy, will command the Perry on her search for an escaped criminal, and that this new em ployment of onr national vessels will in no small degree reflect on the reputation and honor of onr navy. The tone of toe Union continues warlike in view of the approaching elections in Virginia. The President is detei mined to have Cnba, af ter allowing it to slip through his fingers. His next message will be a fearless document, from the fact that toe miserable minority whioh he represents is not responsible for any official act II is a strange thing that Pierce’s courage shonld always come after tainting. SPHYNX. From the Recorder. Messrs. Editors: There can no longer be any donbt as to the popular sentiment relative to the next Governor ot Georgia. Charles J. Jenkins, withont toe shadow of a donbt h toe choice of toe great mass of toe people. Go where yon will, or ask who yon may, (unless he be one who is ‘joined to his idoh^') who toe people want for oor next Governor, and to# nniversal reply is, Mr. Jerkins. Why, ther, wait longer? Is it necessary un* der such demonstrations of the popular senti ment for form’s sake, to call a Convention simply to reiterate, in a formal manner, what every one knows beforehand ? No, gentlemen, this is a movement of the Sovereign People, and they should, for once, be allowed to speak individually and independ ently of conventions or caucuses. Allow mo, therefore, as one of the people ‘to say, Hoist the Jenkins flag at once, let its am ple folds be nnfdrled to toe genial breezes of Spring, and my word for it the popular breath will ware it in triumph, on the first Monday of October next NATIVE GEORGIAN. A young man in Boston recently wished to obtain a passage to California on board of the ship Queen of the Sea, but there was no vacant berth for him in the vessel, and to remove the difficulty hemarriod one of the young ladies, of whom several had engaged a passage to the land of gold and husbands. Of coarse there was no further reason why he should not sail in the Queen of the Seas. Church Property Bill.—The Church Prop erty bill, whieh has passed one branch of the New York Legislature, confiscates the proper ty now held by ecclesiastics, upon their death, to the State, and directs the State to grant it to incorporated religious societies, who shall havs occupied the property. During their life raid ecclesiusties are to be recognized by the act as bolding the property in trust for the benefit of the congregation or society nsing the same. Rowland Hill’s Pulpit Illustrations.— In one of his sermons he was speaking of the value of the Gospel from its relative aim and influence. “It makes," says he. "husbands bet ter husbands, and wires better wires; parents better parents, children better children ; mas ters better masters and servants better servants ; in a word, I would not give a farthing for that man’s religion whose cat and dog were not the bet ter for it 1' Every one eonld not hare uttered this, but I recoived it from no less a person than Mr. Wilberforee, who heard it himself, and who re marked that, while probably everything else ho said that evening, was. long ago forgotten, no one would ever forget this. Bulwor loadsja bachelor’s life in Paris, and many singular stories are told of his eccentrici ties. He is at the age of fifty, the same dandy he was in the days wb en he wrote Pelham.” and really makes up exceedingly well. His for* tune is very large, and ho performs many acts of unostentations charity. He is a fatalist and believes firmly in certain periods being hazard ous to his destiny. One day, full of gloomy forebodings, he was seated at his solitary break fast table, when the’now housekeeper, who hap pened to bear a striking resemblance to his wife entered—"Sir,” said she, “I shall do everything to give you satisfaction.” "Will you, madam,” cried tho Baronet, and ringing the boll, ho ord ered the volet to pay tbo housekeeper a year’s wages and her passage ts the most distant place she would consent to go. The lady happened to have a daughter married to a New Zealand Chief at Loorake, Bay Islands, and hither she was dispatched at Bulwer’a oxponse. Something for thb Anti-Know Nothings. —The "National Era,” toe abolition paper at Washington City, complains of its loss of sub scribers by the Know Nothings. It says : "We hope onr friends will not relax their ex ertions. The Era has sustained more damage from Know Nothingism in Pennsylvania, New- Jersoy, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massa chusetts, than in any other States. Will aot the Anti-Slavery men in those States think of this ?” Where are the "Rnmshaclea” of Georgia, that they do not go to the rescue of tbeir friend of the "Era” who in his hitter hostility to the A- merican party, is not behind the Atlanta Exami ner or Federal Union. Surely its abolitioBism can be no objection in the eyes of these who agree with- it on major matters, while the differ ence is on non-essentials !—Geo. Citisen. Patience Smile* on Payne. Mr. Wm. Payne, a good fellow, was a teach er ef music, in a pleasant town in Massachusetts; and in his school, one winter was a pretty girl some twenty years old, named Pantienee Adams .who having made a strong impression upon Mr. Payne, he lost no time in declaring his at tachment, whieh Miss A. reciprocated, and an engagement was toe result Just as Mr. P’s attention became public, and toe fact of an en gagement was generally understood, the school being still in continuance, and all the parties on a certain evening present, Mr. Payne, with out any thought of toe word, named aa a tone for the commencing exercise, "Federal Street,” in that excellent ^collection of ehnrch music, "The Carmine Sacra.”—Every one entertained the highest respect for Payne; and with a hearty good on the part of all toe school the chorus commenced: "See gentle Patience smile on Payne, See dying hope revive again.” The coincidence was so striking, that the gravity of the yonng ladies and gentlemen eonld scarcely be restrained long enough to get through the tone. The beautiful yonng lady was still giore charming with her blushing cheeks and modestly cast down eyes, while the teacher was so exceedingly embarrassed, he knew not what he did* Hastily turning over the leaves of the book, his eye lit npon a well known tune, and he called out " Dundee.” The song began as soon as sufficient order could be restored, and at the last line of the following stanza rose to a climax: "Let not despair nor fell revenge Be on my bosom known ; Oh, give me tears for others’ woe, And Patience for my own.” Patiecce was already betrothed; she was in fact his ,* in about a year afterwards they be came man and wifo Then gentle Patience smiled on Payne, And Payne had patience for his own. It is pleasant to be able to add that they still live; four or five little pleasant Paynes have been added to the family, whieh is one of toe happiest to be found in this beaulifttl world. Blacking an Abolitionist.—Wo learn that on last week an itinerant pedlar, by the name of Webster, seling plates for marking clothing, stopped in Greensboro for a few days, where he deemed it his privilege to advance his views upon any and all subjects, and accordingly give his abolition sentiments public and open ex pressions. They, didn’t "go down” so well with the citizens of toe place, and we are told be was informed privately to leave the village immediately, but he set himself back upon his courage, and refused to do it until he raw fit; whereupon the young men of the place formed a club to mob him; he then took his ‘‘driving wheels” they pursued him through several streets, and overhauled him upon the top of a wardrobe in the dwelling of Mrs. Colt, (he haw ing forced himself into the house.) He was brought book into town upon a fence rail and after undergoing a "hoot blacking” was placed upon the cars and sent off, resembling ‘slavery’ Banner.

He fell into a narrow passage way, striking with great violence on the frozen ground. A young man who was sleeping with him was aroused by the noise, and gavo the alarm. The somnambulist was taken up and Dr. York was called. He was insensible for some time, and when he came too, complained of being very eold, but knew nothing of his fall ’until informed of it He said he had been dreaming during the night, but did not remember getting up, and of dream ing about rising from his bed. On examina tion the doctor could not discover any bones broken, but be is most seriously bruised and jarred. He was never known to get up in his sleep before.—Boston Travsllsr, March 20.

It is not believed in Havana that the sen tence of Pinto of death will probably be com* mnted by Concha. Imprisonment ef a U. S, Consul.

Polities and Religion. We have no donbt that a rigorous landlord, having shariced it ail the week; screwing and griping among his tenants, wonld be better pleased on Sonday, to doze through an able Gospel sermon on divine mysteries than to bs kept awake by a practical sermon that might treat of toe duties of a Christian landlord. A broker,‘who has gambled on a magnificent scale all the week, does not go to cbnrch to-have practical swindling analyzed and measured by the "New Testament” spirit Catechisms is what he wants—doctrine to his taste. A mer chant, whose last bale of smuggled goods was safely stored on Sunday nighl and his brother merchant, who, on that same day swore a false invoice through the custom houses—they go to church to hear sermon on faith, cm Angels, on the resnrrection. They have nothing invested in those subjects; they expect the minister to be bold and orthodox. But if he wants respec-^ table merchants to pay ample pew rents, let him*" not vulgarize the pulpit by introduciug commer cial subjects. A rich Christian brother owns largely in a distillery, and is clamorous about letting down the pulpit to the vulgarity of temperance ser mons. Another man buys tax titles, and moves about all the week to seo who can be slipped out of a neglected lot. A mechanic who plies craft with the unscrupulous appliance of every means that will win, he, too, wants, “doctrine” on the Sabbath, not these secular questions.— Men wish two departments in life—the secular and the religious. Between them a high wall and opaqne is to be built. They wish to do just what they please for six long days. Then stepping on the otoor side of the wall they wish toe minister to assuage their fears, to com fort their conscience, and furnish them a clear ticket and insurance for heaven. By sneh a shrewd management, our modern financiers are determined to shew that a Christian can serve two masters, both God and Mammon, at toe same time. [Henry TTard Beecher. Result of Hasty Legislation.—The naval appropriation bill, as passed by Congress, is said to contain the grossest errors. Tho Wash ington correspondent of the Philadelphia A. merican says: “Li addition to the $3,000,000 appropriated by a special aot of the last session of Congress for toe construction of six war steamers, 3,000- 000, are now appropriated for continuing the work upon them, making the estimated cs3t of the whole over $6,000,000, or mow than SL OW,000, for each vessel Further, three sec tions making provision for the marine corps are. repeated, word for word; and a clause, inten ded to relieve too contractors for tho floating docks at Pensaoola and San Francisco of a ri gid and oppressive construction of their con tract on the part of the Secretary of the Navy, proves to havo boen inserted in terms exactly the oposite of what were designed by the mover. Funeral of Miss Grey, an adopted daugh ter of Mrs. Anna Cora Ritohio.—A very large, funeral procession moved from toe Monumen tal Church at Riohmond, on Wednesc&y after noon, in whieh was oonveyed toe remains of Miss Margaret Julia Groy, an adopted daugh ter of Mrs. Anna Cora Ritchie.
