Col. CUSHING. When a man of ability
leaves the walks of civil life, where his position
and influence enable him to confer great benefits
upon the community, TO ningle in ihe strife OF
war. it is natural to inquire what views he enter
tains OF the comparative merit of the two spheres
So in Mr. Cushing's case, we ask the same ques-
ton; and happily find it answered by himself
In replying to toast given him at the dinner on
occasion OF the completion of Bunker Hill Monu-
ment, he expressed himself concerning military
glory in this wise:
''There is glory above that of the field of
battle-there is glory in the teemlng prosperity
around us-in the swarming myriads who today
assembled on Bunker Hill lin the unbounded
evidences OF enterprise and happiness which we
meet on every side. There is glory above
that OF the battle -held--a peaceful, moral, reli-
gious, impressive glory, on which my mind has
fingered. And though we to-day assemble on
Bunker Hill and participate in the enthusiastic
recoiiectlons OF the moment, yet there are in our
day and time, considerations which continually
point US TO the gories of peace rather than those
OF war. And If there is to be there another
Bunker Hill Monument, may it not be TO com
memorate the triumph Of p0acer ouer people, but
the accumulating glory Of peaceful arts, and civ
ilized he.'
He closed with the following sentiment:

CHRISTIAN hostility TO WAR. The Pres
byterian, in an article on the war; utters the fol-
lowing just sentiments respecting its mournful
results, and the duties of Christians at the pres
ent crises: sit is generally supposed that the
two armies are on the eve OF bloody and ceci
sive battle. The anticipation may well awaken
Christian sympathy The air is 10 be rent with
the shreks OF the dying mangled and mutiated
bodies are to strew the field precious and i'm
mortal souls are to be hurried to the bar Of God.
Sufierings the most exquisite are to be endured
where no friend is near to bind up the CHASTITY
wounds; fearful apprehensions are to be felt.
when no religious counsellor is nigh to soo,he
the perturbed spirit, and point it 10 the cross
Will Christians exult over GLORIOUS victories thus
dearly purchased? 1t is certainly not within
their province TO join in the maddened shout.
We love our country. We wish to see her al.
ways prosperous. But we love the individual
safety OF each of fellow -citizens, and would,
If it were possible, avert from them the horrors
to which they may be exposed. For this end we
should urge upon all Christians TO employ them
selves most strenuously in dfusing the doctrines
OF universal peace and good will to men, and most
zealously in pouring into the ears of God the ear
nest and importunate prayer, 10 protect the lives
OF the poor soldiers, to inspire them with right
views OF their relations TO Cod and to bring about
in his good providence, before further effuson
OF blood, state of things which will lead to an
amicabe and final adjustment of international
difficulties and Disputes
The commencement of hosti'ities was almost
universally deplored, and it is evident enough
that the experience of the few months that have
since elapsed, has not diminished that feeling If
the tone OF the press is safe criterion the anx-
ious desire for speedy termination OF the war is
very general.

CONGRESSIONAL. Rather funny affair oc.
Cured in the House on Thursday last Mr.
Sawyer OF Ohio, made personal explanation as
to question of veracity which, he said, arose
yesterday between him and Mr. Culver of N. Y.
Mr. Culver had shown up Mr. Sawyer's inconsis-
tent votes in a manner that was likely to bring
Mr. S. into trouble with his democratic constit.
uency. Mr.. Sawyer retorted very angrily, and
charged Mr. Culver with having brbed person
to enter Masons' or Odd Fellows lodge to learn
the secrets and disclose them for book which
he intended to write. Mr. Culver, in reply, de-
clared that the charge was entirely false, fabri-
Gated out OF whole cloth /; he never had any idea
OF writing book. and he was on terms of perso-
nal friendship with members OF the Odd Fellows
and the Masons. He would not be guilty Of
such deed as the member charged upon him
for the sake OF as many S0usogeS as the member
from Ohio could eat. He did not wish to fight
about the matter, unless the member from Ohio
insisted upon it. GAS the challenged party"
said Mr. Culver, g ! have the right 10 choose nv
weapons, and will take series of links, and
abide the consequences" These explanations"
kept the House in roar of laughter

II "Send the Free .Weeroes q ne r..

geB "Send the Free Negroes to The Free
states" Is the cry OF the Governor Of Virginia
and his followers. We can suggest better
course. Make Virginia herself a Free State, and
there will then be no motive for the removal OF
the class referred TO. This would accord with
Justice and Humanity, while the course recom-
mended by the Governor is ielt to be an outrage
BY the whole civilized world. Thus, and thus
only, can Virginia escape from the course which
bghts every foot OF her soil and sits as an incubus
upon her prosperity - Tribune.

BUDGET OF BLUNDERs.-Several misstate-
ments, which appear to have originated in this
city, are now in circulation in the newspapers.
Such as that Gen. Taylor has been recalled from
the army Of Mexico, and that he has been order
ed to Washington. Such, too, is the rumor said
to be founded on the authority of Commodore
Perry, ''that the Castle OF San Juan de UlIoa is
not to be attacked, and also that Commodore
Perry will not return to the Cult OF Mexico
Such too, is the rumor that government is in
possession of the ultimate conditions on which
Mexico will consent to make peace with the
United States, and that it has determined to ac-
cede TO them. ii Congress vii. enable the Execu
tive to meet the views of Mexico We know
