HoLY GAMBLINs.-At the fair for the purpose @
purchasing the Church of Redemption, noticed tina
nos, all the valuable things were put up at rattle
This suggested the following
LINES ON Holy GAMBLING.
What right have you our acts TO scanl
We're of the Lord and not ofman;
We raffe in holy cause,
But ye, to fill your needy maws.
So down. down, real gamblers down.
Our winnings go to build church,
Or help our brethren in the lurch,
And though against churchs creed
The purpose justiies the deed
SO down, down, real gamblers down.
But you, ye poor and ragged set.
With pockets always to be let;
Yepay against your country's laws,
And have no prayers TO help your cause.
So down, down, real gamblers down.

THE NAVAL Court or ENQURY-AsrouNDfNe
DISCLOSURES call the attention OF our readers
TO the report in another column. OF the proceedings
of the Court OF Enquiry on the conduct OF Com
mander Mckenzie, OF the Somers.'
If the disclosures this inquiry, and the asiound-
ing and extraordinary narrative OF Mckenzie do
not astonsh the whole community, we know not
what will Only think of a commander, after exc
cutting three men, and ordering three cheers for the
American flag, then saying to his crew that they
should also "GiUe cheers for God Almighty" The
singular mixture of folly, Stiffness and blasphemy
in his narrative, is most extraordinary. One'fact s
now certain, the identity of this narrative with the
article IN the ''Courer and Enquirer, is perfect and
complete.
We leave the public TO Judge OF this awful affair,
and to wait for the rest of the evidence. AS no
copies for the newspaper press were allowed 10 be
taken by the Court of this extraordinary g Nara

port is only 10 be found In the 'Herald," as II was
