DIR. SHlRP'S DISCOURSE on PEiCE.

This sermon, from the press Of Tick
nor d Co, is well worthy of being read
by every man in the country. 1t is one
Of the best arguments against the war spi.
rit which we have seen in a similar form.
The style is adapted to the subject. In
his introduction, the author speaks deci-
dedly on the importance and propriety Of
discussing such subjects in the pulpit, anu
uses the following language.
h" But although a minister Of the gospel
may not, without stepping out of his place,
discuss party questions, yet he may, and
ought to discuss those christian principles
which are applicable TO government, its
movements and measures; and should, on
all moral questions, seek TO give direc.
lion to public opinion. IL need be, il
should stir up the public mind in regard
to long-perpetuated evils. 1t is lis pro-
vince to endeavor, by reasons and appeals
derived from the New Testament, to set
all parties right on public morals, where
many of all parties are wrong.
/" In these respects, in all past times.
the pulpit has done much 10 elevate the
character and to improve the condition of
christian nations. 1t has taught and SIRE
nuously urged the practice of truth, Justice
and kindness; it has advocated the princi-
pies of civil and religious freedom; nay,
il has done more than any other single ill.,
strumentality to break the letters of the
bondman, and bid the oppressed go free.
So, in regard to war, it has softened the(
barbarities of savage warfare. 1t has les
sened, by its gentle yet powerful counsels,
the frequency of human contests. And it
bids fair in its direct and indirect inauen-
.es, TO hasten on that blessed period when
the nations Of the earth shall learn war no
more. .r.,~ ...-4..
Who can believe that if the so-called
christian governments and christian ma
&ons were imbaed with the spirit OF Chris
tianity, and oheyed its precepts, war would
ever be heard nt again, except in the voice
of past history" .... ~, - ~
~ We have quoted these sentences be-
cause they contain sound sentiments re-
speeding the proper province Of christian
minister, and because, al this time, when
the government of this country is engaged
in war with Mexico, there arc those who
will say that sermon against war en-
trenches on the sphere Of politics, IL is
by regarding such suggestions, that many
timid ministers and worldly christians al.
low the politicians to usurp to themselves
the discussion of many high moral and
religious questions, and even whilst, in
the name Of the people, they are tramp
ling on all that is sacred, guard themselves

LOUISIANA V0LUsTEERs.-The news
by the Empresario, which we laid before
our readers in a second edition yesterday,
II calculated to excite mixed and conflict.
ing emotions. We have beentold by gen.
tenen who left the Rio Grande after the
pronulgation Of the order issued BY Gen.
Taylor under instructions from the War
Department, that Of the some six thousand
disbanded volunteers, there will not re.
main in the service under the new terms
proposed d sufficient number of men to
form a single regiment-indeed we hear
that but n company voted to remain.
These are sad tidings and indicate sore dis
appointment in the abraye men who but
lately left our wharf in high spirits and re.
joicing in the chance Of doing battle for
their country.
What has caused this strange and sud.
den change 7 Have they wearied Of the
service so soon Have heir hearts failed
them now that the army is moving towards
the enemy 7 Has the spirit that prompted
them to. fly to the scene ofheroic strife died
within them? Has the chiyalFy of our fel.
low-citizens withered in the summers sum-
or have they sickened Of the duties Of the
camp4
In none of these causes can we find a
solution Of the extraordinary and painful
Developments we have been here COM
PEELED to record. What Of six thousand
men-who were first to take up arms at the
sound of the trump-manY Of whom sacri.
feed their precuniary interests, the ON

affluence-not one remains to follow the
banner his country as tits borne amidst

SuppLY OF IXprAN MgAL Az CoRK.-
Such is and has been the extensive de.
mand for this article throughout the coun.

that there has been issued from the gov.

city, ono tiousandt yns por week to the sey.
eral reliefcommittees who receive supplies,
that is, ten thousand pounds worth of Indi.
an meal, per week, Is issued from Cork a.
lone to make up for the deficiency caused by
the failure in lest years potato crop, in
d~ependently ofthe amount sold by import
ers, on private account, which, however,
we have no opportunity at present Of as
certaining, but which, we are assured,
must be very considerable. A cargo Of
yellow meal, in prime condition, was last
week offered. to the relief committee at
30s. per quarter, or about Ga per ton, and,
from the extensive Importation that have
taken place, and the prospects of an early
and abundant harvest, and fhe reduction
in price of other bread stufs, the price is
expected to fall still lower.
