Of that city, has already taken high stand

correspondent Of the Prosidence Rr<ss refers
to recent Sunday discourses Of Dr. Tyng Il
follows:
In the afternoon, at halfpast three, the
time when most Of the afternoon services COM
mence, went to St. Georges. and heard IN
eloquent extempo1aneous discourses from the
celebrated Rector, Dr.. Nns, On the three psra-
bles in The ffseenth chapter Of Luke-tho lost
sheep, the piece Of sllser, and the prodiga1 son.
It seemed to be addressed to the younger part
Of the congregation, and to be part of course
Of sermons On ths parallels. The preacher
spoke In the most atfec.ionata manner Of the
thousands Of lost sheep who were 1t that very
time wandering shout the streets of this great
city, aud Of the many british persons who, m
sensible IS the piece Of silver, are too stupid to
think Of their danger. In speaking Of the last
parable, be broke forth in a ;mpassioned man

Along the route to Acquia Creek, which is the
point OF transfer from the cars to the steamboat
On the Potomac, the time IVES enliyened by some
animated discussion upon the Harper's Ferry
affair, and tue relations Of the North aud South
generally. Two gentlemen, whom l afterwards S
a:certained to be from Chicago, ILL.,. got into a

that at one time was aprrehensiye of d dill
Guilty arising. The main point Of the discussion
was in reference 10 the conservatism Of the
North. The military gentlemen argued that
there vas no conservatism North Of Mason anl
Dixon's line, while the Illinois gentlemen main.
tained tue opposite. As s0on as the discussion
became nndible to the other passengers iu the
cars, there was sudden and Spontaneous rusll
towards the dispurants. The military gentle.
men engaged in the debate were generally.
known on board, and the fact of there tein,,
any contradiction 10 their positions led me to
appEchend that the disputah,s on the other side
TouId be esteemed pranla Jacia unsounl on the
s.avery question, and. therefore, liable to be
maltTcated- Tie auditors, however, coo}ly lis
tened 70 ascertain the tonor of the discussion.
and alter lew moments attention discovered
that the strangers from Illinois were souud on
the "goose: question" They failed, however.
to satisfy their hearers that there was shred
o. conservatism at the North. In reply to a
challenge to parsicularize one paper at the North
that maintained the Southern cause, they yauut. T.
ingly paradcd the Hsrdzd's services, and then
fell back upon the Chicago Ttmtz, as another
specimen Of Northern conservative journalism,
One OF the party incautiousty remarked that
Brown would have taken old Tirginin viii, len
thousand such men as himself. Fortunately for
him, perhaps, his friend, who wns eYidsntlr
more prudent, ilatly contrndicted the assertion.
aud denied that he could accomplish such a feat
with even one hundred thoutaud men, THIS
had the effect Of allayiug the modification aud
chagrin produced by this iojudIcious remark.
and Of, doubtless, Saving him who made use Of
it from chastisement- No amount Of persuasion
could induce the people Of Virginia 10 believe
thai there exists any conservatism Or sympathy
with the Southern cause at the NORTH. There
seems to be fixed opinion to tho contrary
among the great mass Of the people.
