Contrary TO general expectation the Third regiment Of
Albany, Colonel Townsend, did not ga OF 70 the

willing to start FOR Virginia without rides and
besides that, they are short Of uniforms and
blankets. Colonel Townsends regiment has been
camped upon the Battery for week or more, and we
should think II was high time they properly pro
yded for. The anxious TO be Of, but say they

WAR No1IoNs OF CHURCH SOCIETIEs.-It has
not been reserved for this age to make the dis
covery that the sanction and blessing of reli-
Rion can always be obtained for any side of a
great question, and that whether the Crescent
and the Cross are opposed, or whether one
Christian nation wars against another, holy
ministers OF religion will bless the adverse ban
ners, and sue the Divinity to give the victory to
the eide on which they are respectively re-
tanned. That is as old as the formation of socie.
ty and viii probably last as long. Even here,
where our people constitute but one nation,
and our various denominations have the same
communion, we have seen venerable prelates
and clergy in one section of the country offer
ing solemn Thanksgiving for an event which
lowered the national emblem, and placed a
rebel banner on Fort Sumter while in the
other section the same event turned our minis
ters of peace into the most active promoters Of
war Since then, the scbism in religious, and
even in benevolent societies, is as deep and
bitter as it is in the general body polite.
We now find that the General Assembly OF
the Old School Presbyterians, sitting in Phila,
delphia and the Baptist Union Convention, sit
ting in Brooklyn have been devoting their at
tenton, not to the spiritual affairs of their re-
spec.;ve churches, but to the question Of war,
and have each passed long series of resolu-
t;ons Of decidedly bellicose character. To
the sentiments embodied in their resolutions
we take no exception, as they are generally
sound and patriotic; but we do think that reli-
gious bodies would best promote the interests
of religion by keeping aloof from extraneous
questions. We would recommend to their
adoption the sensible course of Lord Brougham,
who says be has made up his mind to take no
part in abolitionist meetings or movements till
the troubles in America, arising out of the
negro question, are settled. Let the religious
societies form the came sensible resolve, and
we will get out Of our prefent difficulties all
the sooner.
