tanned of the Bolts, Hydenfelt & Co., Conyen-

that Convention that the platform would not

ReIigiOn of Politics.

REV. MR.. CUMMINGS will deliver discourse
in the Brick Church on SUNDAY EVENING, (l4th
inst } at o'clock, on the political duties of Chris
tians and Ministers. Hear him and then Judge.
PoLITIcs AND REL1GIoN.-We are uncon
ditionaly opposed to the union of Church and
State-of politics and religion. We hold that
the sanctity Of the one should never be defled
by dabling in the filthy pool of the other
that the ameioraton and charities of the one
should never be brought in contact with the
asperities and passions of the other; that all
efforts made by pretended ministers of the
Gospel, to justify them in prostituting the
pulpit to the purposes of their political parti-
san principles, will be held in contempt by a
free and enlightened people that the eloquence
of Starr King, or any other enthusiast, to JUS
tify the professional Divine, will fail to con-
vince the minds of Americans that the two
should ever be blended in country like ours.
We published the above article last week,
and were called upon by the Reverend gentle
man of the Brick Church in this place, who
enouired for the editor of our paper we en-
deavored to let him know that we held that
responsible position. He seemed to take
exception to the article but we reiterate every
word and sentiment of that article for its
truth and applicability was made manifest last
Sunday evening. by the indicative and vitu-
perative harangue INDUCED in by the Pastor
of that church to his congregation. The
dignity and the sanctity of the pulpit fell deep
deep into the turbulent pool of politics; and
political passion assumed her rod and welded
it in wild phrenzy, beching forth, at every
sway, anathemas, terrible as the thuDder's roar.
We think and believe the audience placed a
proper appreciation upon the effort, and in
their hearts condemned it throughout many
we know emphaticaly denounced it as unwor-
thy of the occasion and disgracelul to the
pulpit.

BILLY Wilson's ZoUAvEs ARRIVED AT Pen
socoLA.-The Pensacola correspondent of the
Mobile Advertiser writes on the 24h OF June !:
About seven o'clock this morning very
large steamer, supposed TO be the Vanderbilt,
arrived in the feet outside. She came up
under full head of steam, and dropped an
chor near the Niagara. The Vanderbilt sailed
from New York on the llth, and the papers
of that city report her freig hted for Fort Pick
ems, with eight ten-inch Coiumbiads. large
quantity of army stores, lumber, scow, etc..
to be used in transferring her heavy freight to
the shore. She has something on her deck
which much resembles scow. Her decks
appear to be crowded with people, though no
mention was made of troops having sailed on
her.
In postcript the writer state that the vessel
is the Vanderbilt, that the Illinois and Swan
had also arrived and that the troops on board
the Vanderbilt Wilson's New York Souaves
had been landed.

STATEMENT OF CAPTURED REBEL.-The
following statement Of Alexander G. Cold.
who belonged to the crew of the rebel prva-
teer, Savannah, captured off Charleston, will
be found interesting. The n. Y. Tribune, Of
June 26th says:
Cold is a Scotchman, thoroughly bad fe-
low, forty years of age, sailor by profession,
who has no local habitatlon )" his home Is
where bis hat is, and when he shipped on the
Savannah his head covering was located in
Charleston. He lis sallow complexiOned man,
loosely put together, every joint seeming to be
swivel. He stoops slightly, and chews to-
bacco tremendously, the juice of hat delectaole
weed running in small rivulets from each corner
of his semicircular mouth. He is decidedly
uncouth in appearance, but quite jolly, being
by nature of sauguine and hopeful disposition,
He says he knew that the Savannah was a
privatcer, but Gov. Pickens told him priva
teer was just the same as a man-of-war, and
that her crew could only be treated as prisoners
of war if captured. He speaks quite disres-
pectfully of the armament OF the Savannah,
remarking that sail the gun she had was id
old thing with two holes in it-one for a ball
and one for the vent-and it was an open
question which mode of escape the ball would
choose when it was fred. As for fighting,
that gun couldn't hit a ship laying alongside,
ard wouldn't do any damage if it did. We
only kept it to frighten FOLKS WITH and if peo-
pie weren't afraid of the report they needn't
have been of any balls we could send. We
fired three shots at the brig Perry, but as she
didn't run, we did, aud that's all the good it
did US" He has no particular desire to be
hanged, but says he cast his lot with the boys,
and is willing to take the same chance as the
rest
