THE CHIvALRY OF FAIrH.--The preach

THE CHIvALRY OF FAITH.--The preach CTS of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South are proverbial for their patriotic devotion to the South and her institutions. We hear of numbers of ministers of various denominations volunteering their services, and taking their places in the ranks. Revd's. J. M. Bradley HI. R. Withers, B. Abernathy and W. c. Hai- slip. of the Onachita Conference in Arkansas, are Captains of Companies.
 While these men have stepped forward to defend THE RIGHT, we are pleased to hear the clarion voice of those who remain at home raised in behalf of our relations and friends who have gone forth to battle against the myrmdons of Lincoln.
 On Sunday last, the Presiding Elder of this District, Rev. J. B. ANNIs, preached ser- mon that will long be remembered by those who heard it. It was interspersed with sen- timeHts and comparisons suited to ssour day and generation" In by-gonc years we have read of the ssChivalry of Faith" and beheld the tear trickle down the cheek of the listener as the language of the preacher, warm and glowing with sympathetic eloquence fell from his lips, and ever and anon as the love of God to man, and the "sure recompense of reward'' was demonstrated--we have beheld the feeling of HofE and of FEAR-of REWARD and PUNISH MENr, as it was shadowed forth from each countenance-but never do we recollect to have seen an audience more completely under the control of the speaker than on the above occasion. He showed that the cause of the South was that of right and justice between He demonstrated that
 "God moves in a mysterious way
 His wonders to perfor1n''
 That under God we must "come off more than conquerors." He adverted, in the most feel ing terms, to the many empty seats in the house, admonishing him that fathers, brothers, relatives and friends had gone to fight the battles oftleir country. While the we'll filled seats on the ladies side of the house told full we'll that they trusted in the God of Hosts, and that their prayers would arise s'like sweet invocation," for the safety of those dear ones who have risked life, health and their all in defence of the ssimperial land of the South $ We like that FAITH that is full of CH1vALRY, that preacher of truth who stimulates his fel- low-citizens by both words and deeds in de- lending their soil against the tread of the invaders heel.
 aWe want no towards in our band,
 Who will their colors fly,
 But call for valiant hearted souls,
 Who are not afraid to die.''

DECLINED THE "HoNoR.'-The Baltimore South of the 28th ult., says:
 "This morning, Deputy Marshal Clifford visited Fort McHenry, in response to a note from Gen. Banks requesting his presence there. The General opened their interview by obser- wing to the Deputy Marshal that as he de- signed being frank in proposition he wished to make, he desired frank reply. He then said to MT. Clifford that he desired to commits sion reliable and efficient person as the head of the Baltimore Police, and that if he would accept the position, and make himself subject to the direction of the military authority, he war prepared to commission him at once. To this the Deputy Marshall frankly replied with an expletive--ssSir, the Government don't pos sess money enough to induce me to accept such place." Gen. Banks here stated to him that he had no further business with him, and was about to retire, when the Deputy Marshal asked permission to see Marshal Kane, which request was refused, and the in- terview terminated.

A NEW MOVEMENT,

Letters which we received, yesterday, from
fort McHenry, say that on Friday it was ru-
mored in the fort that Major Devens' com.
mand was about TO be ordered to some other
point. One letter says, eve must be ready TO
leave at moments warning, but l have no
idea where we shall go" Perhaps it is true
that all the Massachusetts, troops will be or
dered 10 encamp at fort Monroe, and that a
strong force is TO be sent there TO operate
against Portsmouth, Gosport, and the seces-
sionists between those places and Richmond.
There are indications that an onward move
ment is about to be undertaken but it is not
likely that Gen. Scott has admitted all the
reporters and telegraphers to his confidence,
and made them acquainted with the actual
character and aim of this movement. He has
ordinarily succeeded to keep his own counsel,
when it has been necessary, and, no doubt, lie
is able to do it still.
1t is likely that Gen. Butler has been order
ed to Fort Monroe, and that he is to have there
some fifteen or twenty regiments, including
the rifle battalion and all the other Massachu
that he has suddenly and very unexpectedly
turned up at Harper's Ferry. There is un-
doubtedly large number of secession troops
in Virginia, for they have been moving in that
direction from the gulf states, North Carolina,
and Tennessee, since the 18th of April. We
shall presently know what they can do, for
their ability 10 defend Gosport, Harpcr's Fer
ry, and some other points, may be severely
tested before the week is out.
