G- We checrfully give place to the fol- lowing, which we find in the advertising col umns of the Richmond Whig of the 23d ut:
 .THE DEVOTED BAND."-The shortest path to peace is that which carries havoc and des- oiation to our invaders It is believed that there are five or ten thousand men in the South ready and willing to share the fate of Curtius and devote themselves to the salvation of their country. It is proposed that all who are will ing to make this sacrifice, shall arm them selves with a sword, two five shooters and a carbine each and meet, on horseback, at some place to be designated, convenientfor the great work in hand. Fire and sword must be Car ried to the houses of those who are visiting those blessings upon their neighbors. Phia- deIphia, and even New York, is not beyond the reach of long and brave arm. The mo- ral people of these cities cannot be better taught the virtues of invasion than by the blazing light.of their own dwellings.
 None need apply for admission to 1.-THE DEVOTED BAND" but those who are pre- pared to take their life in their hand and who would indulge not the least expectation of ever returning. They dedicate their lives to the destruction of their enemies!

A RELIGIOUS WAR.-Harret Beecher Stowe proposes that the present struggle between the North and the South shall be designated s'The Religious War" In this we are inclined to agree with the author of Uncle Toms Cabin. It is a religious war. It is the Bible and pure Christianity against infdelity and God dishon- bring crimes, and we are glad to see that the churches of the South are alive to their respon- sibilty in this regard. We learn that in two days duing the present week 175,000 pages of religious tracts were sent from this city into the various encampments'-[R Richmond Dispatch

e-y> The New York World admits that the rebellion in the South is not the mere gratuit- ous treason that northern agitators, who did so much to call it into existence, insist upon. Itsays:
 That the South has no cause for disafFection is more than we can say. The long continued attacks upon its favorite institution from northern presses, pulpits, churches, state legislatures, and individuals even in congress, are not to be set down as nothing. By some they were intended to sunder the Union; by more, however, only to exterminate slavery as though the latter could be peaceably done without the former.
