OF NEW ORLEANS on THURSDAY, NOV, 60, 1860.

The voice of The Chief Magistrate has summoned
us today TO the house Of prayer. This call, in IDS
annual repetition, may be too often only solemn
State form: nevertheless it covers mighty and
double truth
1t recognizes the existence Of personal God
whose will shapes tae destiny of nations and that
sentiment of religion in man which points TO Him
as the needle to the pole. Even with those who
nrope in the twilight of natural religion, natural
conscience gives a voice to the dspensations of
Providence. II in autumn ' extensive harvests

.'crowned with the sickle and the wheaton sheaf,'
lifts his heart to the Father of Lights from whom

il pestilenca and famine waste the earth, even
Pagan affairs smoke with bleeding victims, and
costly heoatombs appease the divine anger which
flames out in such dire misfortunes. 1t is the IN
stinet Of mans religious nature. which, among
Christians and heathens alike, seeks after God-the
natural homage which reason, blinded as it may
be, pays to universal and ruling Providence. An

DISC0URSES FOR THE TIMES.

We publish below two discourses delivered in
Is city on Thursday last-the day which had been
pointed by the Governor and Mayor as day Of
thanksgiving, Fasting and Prayer. One of them
the production Of DR.. Leacock, of Christ Church,
d the other of Or. Palmer, Of the Presbyterian
iurch, opposite Lafayette square. Both OF these
antemen are distinguished and able ministers, and
pth of them treat the absorbing topic of tho day
9TH uncommon eloqnence, originality and force. IL
ere is any occasion when it should be considered
ast6abe to introduce into the church subjects Of
ocular concern, we consider that of last Thurs
Jay an appropriate one-~a day not set apart in
he church calendar for any religious services,
ut one established by the civil authorities only.
But it is to the discourses themselves that we
rect attention. embodying q discussion of the
sreat event or the day from an original point Of
Jew, and suggestive of our duty, as well in our
moral our political relations, to our own section
il the country. The theme could not have been
more ably treated than by these two eminent
.lergymen, whose addresses we to-day lay before
,ur readers:

SHOOTING ON THE WISG.-It is astonishing how
Stubborn young sportsmen are to believe in the
principle that it is necessary to fire in advance Of
distant flying object for the purpose of killing it
They persist in the foolish notion that almost on
the instant Of pulling trigger the shot reaches the
object aimed at. Many years ago was among that
stubborn class until convinced of error ia simple
and extraordinary manner, which relate for the
purpose Of eRdeaEofiag to impress upon nay readers
the Importance Of this fundamental principle.
was oHt shooting one day, in the month of October,
in lergs tnrnip field, with my dogs and gun, when
brace of paftrdges rose at the distance Of fifty
five or sixty yards; they few rapidly to the right
in direct line, one behind the other, at space Of
about two feet apart. / took deliberate aim about
two inches in advance Of the leading bird ard fired;
| when to my surprise, the hindmost bird fell dead.
/ and the leading one. which was the object Of my
aim, flew away untouched. At the moment / felt
so astonished at the result that could not recover
myself soon enough to discharge the other barrel
/ at the bird which had flown away. On picking up
my bird found that five shots had struck it in the
| head and neck ; that my aim, which was AZ
least two feet six inches IN advance oil the ORA
killed, was not any too much at the distance ana
rate at which they were flying let SO ioTclDiy
the erroneous principle upon which had made my
own error that felt as II curtain had risen before
me and exposed the secrets of the art OF Kill
linz cross shot, And | can truly assert that this
simple but singular discovery did more towards
improving me in tho art OF shooting, than all the
advice aud instruction had received from
and venerable sportsmen. Some of my sporting
friends, shortly afterwards on congratulating me

THEATRICAL ExoDus TO ECRoPE.-Our British
cousins WILL during this summer, have an OPP
portunity OF ascertaining how the climate of
the United States agrees with their artists ia
the theatrical way. About two months ago
Miss Laura Keenc went home for flying trip.
and 1t is understood that she is now OH her way
back. To-day the Persia takes out Mr.. Dion
Bourcicault. Miss Agnes Robertson and Mr..
John Brougham, three persons who have con-
tributed largely to the entertainment of
metropolitan theatre goers. Mr.. Brougham
came to this country eighteen years since, and,
as author, actor and manager, has thoroughly
identified himself with the American public.
His genial qualities have endeared him 10 a
very large circle of acquaintance; and as he
has always been foremost in all charitable en-
terpr ises wherein artistic aid has been invoked
he has made host of friends outside of the
theatre. Mr.. Brougham's departure therefore,
will be generally regretted, and his return
anxiously looked for. We learn that he in
tends to produce several pieces in London, and
among them a five act comedy, written express
~ for that market
Mr. Bourcicault came here about seven years
since, and since his arrival he has been hard at
work writing new plays and rcarranging old
ones. OF the very large number Of plays pre-
sented by him but very few have positively
failed, while many have been very great
successes. Joined to his tact and ability as a
literary man, Mr.. Bourcicault Is a capital stage
director, and an exceedingly clever actor in
character, parts such as Grimaldi in "The Life
Of an Actress" the Indian in THE Octoroon,"
and Myles in "The Colleen Bawn.' 'lIe has
given our managers some good lessons, and
initiated a great reform in the American stage
Miss Agnes Robertson has been a great pet
with our public, and our friends across the
water will find her an exceedingly clever
actress, one who never astonishes. but inva-
riably pleases her audience In his speech to
the public at the Winter Garden, Mr.. Bourci-
caul. intimated in very plain terms that his
stay abroad would be very brief one. He
intends to produce "Jessie Brown" and The
Colleen Bawn" in London, aud The Octoroon'
lin French) OF the Porte Saint Martin, Paris.
We are quite confident that every theatre goer
will Join with Us in wishing to the artists who
20 out by the Persia good voyagc--all success
In their tours. II is very certain that their
places here cannot be easily supplied

A MANIFESTO FROM PooH PrrEcE.--Wc pub
lish elsewhere letter from poor Pierce TO the
senior partner in the old and once firmly estab-

Boston. This house used TO run the democratic
machine, such as il was, in Massachusetts,, and
got along very comfortably with their con-
veniently small tea party. OF course they are
In sore distress Of mind at the smashing Of the
party machinery, and are cndeavoring TO de-
wise means by which II may be patched up.
The fact about the whole matter il. that poor
Pierce is morally responsible for the breaking
up Of the machine, and, having some natural
computations Of conscience is now endeavoring
10 patch it up. II is Of no use, however, gen.

A NEW Work BY An AMERICAN VoITAmE.-
Mr. Ingersoll a lawyer Of Philadelphia, an &C.
centric genius, like the French Voltaire or our
own Randolph, has written, and is about to
publish, book of extraordinary interest
"Recollections, Historical, Political, Biographi-
cal and ial"-presenting portraitures Of the
men Of the Revolution and OF personages of
this country from 1892 downwards. Such a
work, from the pen Of an original writer like
Ingcrsoll, must possess peculiar attraction for
the reader. 1t will abound with the most racy
and humorous anecdotes. Our readers may
therefore look ont for rare treat in the perusal
Of this book, which will be published in Octo-

THr ECLIPSE or THE SUy To-DlY.-The par
tial eclipse OF the sun which takes place today
will be visible In this locality first at ten
minutes after seven this morning, and the
shadow Of the moon will have passed OF at ten
minutes past ninc-the observation lasting just
two hours. The largest portion Of the suns
surface, however, will be obscured at ten mi.
nutcs after eight, when it will present the most
interesting phase Of the eclipse.
The penumbra. or partial shadow Of the moon,
touching the suns disc will be visible fret at
his rising in the neiehborhood Of Oregon Terri
tory. and will be seen az far eastward as the
South Of Spain and northern portion of Africa.
We are glad to perceive that our government
and that Of Great Britain have despatched
corps Of scientific observers TO the Hudson s
Bay territory and Labrador TO make accurate
observations OF the eclipse; and II Is said that
the viccroy Of Egypt has also at competent
staff Of scientific men into Ethiopia provided
with all the necessary instruments 10 make OBJ

and most reliable accounts Of this curious spec.
