BY the class just nameds The anxwer is
this In some Of our churches, from the
moment the officiating clergyman has an
nouuced that q, the Lord is in his holy tenn
ple, let all the earth keep silence before
him. even down to the final benediction
with which he dismisses his congregation,
noises Of various kinds, from the opening
and shutting Of doors, the creaking Of boots.
the rustling of silks, the crying, laughing,
or talking Of children, the loud and dis
gusting hawking and snoring Of phlegmatic
throats, are continually occurring, at brief
intervals, to interrupt the deyotions and dis
tract the attention Of those who truly de-
sire to give up their whole hearts and their
whole. minds to the only purpose which
ought to lead any body to the house of
God. With regard to the practice Of bring
ing children to church, the parents, per-
haps, may plead the words Of the Saviour
himself g Suffer little children to come un-
to me, and forbid them not;;'' but these
parents should remember that " there is a
time for all things" and there is an ap-
pointed time in all churches for children to
present themselves before the altar. They
should remember, too, their own previous
duty to those children, which is, to teach
them how to conduct themselves in the
presence Of their God.
Those who enter the church after the
service is commenced may, perhaps, quote
the parable of the husbandman and his
reapers; but they should remember that
those who came in " at the eleventh hour"
were not called until that hour, whereas
they are called at the first hour-literally
called; for the fine, clear, solemn peals Of
the church bells are heard from one end to
the other Of the city for full half hour,
time long enough, in all reason, even for
the most dilatory to make all needful pre-
paration to ensure punctuality Of atfen-
dance, SO that even the poor excuse of not
knowing the hour cannot be truly alleged
for their tardy arrivals.
But what shall be said Of the last species
Of noise-makers enumerated; Does it
never suggest itself to their minds that the
thing complained Of is self-imposed hab-
IT, a sickening, vulgar habit, as easily to be
got rid of by little resolution and self-re-
straint little respect for the feelings Of
others, as any other bad habit!
0 that the thoughtess mortals who thus
set at Daught the feelings Of their fellow
mortals may be brought, by these few plain
and simple remarks, to reflect upon the
consequences to themselves Of habitual ir-
reverence and disrespect towards Him who
has said, Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not pass away"

Later from the Army!I

The steamship Alabama, Capt. Windle,
arrived at New Orleans on the 9th ult.,
from Brqzos Santiago, whence she sailed on
the 24th,briuging six days later intelligence
from the Army than that which we publish
ed in ourlast.
The PicayunC of the 2sth ult, says, that
Capt Windle reports that Gen. Worth, with
1000 men, had left Canargo and proceeds
ed rs miles on his route TO Monterey.
The Matamoros American Flag Of the
23d says
From CAMARGo.-The steamer Virginian
reports having crossed Gen. Worth and his
command, consisting of the 9Th Infantry and
two companies Of Artillery, over the San
Juan river on the 18th inst. Gen. Worth,
says our informant, received orders to march
to tho village of China and remain there
until further advised. This may or may not
be so; we are inclined to believe that there
is little more Of the may not than may
1t would be hardly Worth while for the
commander of this expedition to start at all
if he had to stop at IS miles.
! A letter dated the 18th, from San Fer>
nando, announces the arrival there Of the
Texan Regiment of mounted men three
days previously, in fine health and spirits.
The American Flag says they entered the
town playing the tune Of yankee Doodle.
There has been much sickness among the
troops stationed at Borta aud Bragos Island.
As the volunteers move up the river to Ca
MARCO, the sick are left by the boats at Mat.
amolos, to be cared for in the Hospitals es-
tablished at that point.
The steamboat Rough and Ready reach
ed MatamorOs on the Goth, and proceeded
up the river next day, with two companies
Of Tennessee VoluRteeIs-the Harrison
Guards and Nashville Blues.

DESIGNS OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS. = ne
washington correspondent Of the NJ l.
Commercial gives the following as his pri-
vate information about the designs OF the
military rulers at Washington. We give 1t
to our readers for what il is werth.
General TaJ lor, we learn, wiIEpless for
ward with all the CELEBRITY in his power to
meet Mciia and overthrow his force before
Parede can unite with him; and also to take
possession Of and fortify Monterey before
that shall be done by Paredeg. His best
chance will be in a speedy battle; and it is
remarked by military men who know the
country, that If tho Mexicans make stand
at Monterey, defeat will be destruction TO
them, for the position is such as to afford
no means Of retreat.
Whether General Taylor, alter obtaining
possession Of Monterey, is to BE reinforced,
and ordered to proceed TO Mexico, we have
no means Of knowing. The Government
organ has held out the purpose, on the part
Of the Government, to march our troops 10
the city Of Mexico, and there dictate the
terms Of peace. Such is probably the de.
sign, but we have no official declaration Of
it other than the gvings out Of the Union.
Surprising this to be the plan of the cam.
paign, it may we'll be doubted whether it
will be successful. Military men shake
their heads when they are asked whether it
is practicable to march an army through a
hostile and barren country, six hundred
miles-ftom Monterey to San Luis Potosi,
One part of it is deile, commanded by
hills, and the rest Of it is sandy desert,
destitute of all the means necessary foI the
support Of three thousand mules and horses
and fifteen or twenty thousand beef eating
men.
Among those who are incredulous as 10
the practicability Of this enterprise is Com,
modore Stewart. learn that he expresses
the opinion that our army will find it no
HOLIDAY xcursIon-that they will have hard
fare and hard fighting.
