The Southern press and the Southern people have been
unstinted in their denuncltions Of those Northern
cergymen who are in the habit of dabbng in politics,
and preaching political sermons. The famous "three
thousand" New England clergymen who abandoned their
pious duties and rushed into the political arena in 1884
and cursed the South and the KansasNebraska BILL met
with nothing but rebuke and denuncatiOn at the hands
Of the whole people of the South Their presumptuous
and indecent interference in the politics of the country
found excuse or apology amongst These evolves
in sleeps clothing" literally gibbeted they de-
served to be.
Now, however, We regret to observe, many OF the
Southern clergy are offending in the same manner
Some Of these gentlemen most Of whom have generally
heretofore kept quite silent in secular matters, now
boiling over with disuniou and denunciatons of the
North it not little strange that these polite priests
follow for the most part the popular current no matter
which way it leads? Their motto seems to be to go with
the multitude, whether the multitude engaged in a
good evil enterprise. We fear that these clerical
gentlemen ike the rest of too much disposed to be
governed by the fashions and changes of this sinful
world.
Il seems indeed as if the clergy of the country, pre-
cuded by our free institutions from e1erng the eosreve
influence Of FIRE and the sword in compelling men to
adopt gious creed have determined to avail them
selves of the opportunity transfer these arguments OF
force TO shaping the political opinions of the people
Perhaps they will all wake up of these days, and
not only hear but listen to the voice which reproved
Peter for his unrehecng impulses and which pronounced
that the weapons Of Christian warfare carmel but
spiritual
Thus endath our lecture to the guilty sinners, who
profess to preach Christ and Him crucGed and yet who
dabble in the dirt Of politics. and greediy court the APP
planse Of the rabble.

The Petersburg Express says that the bank
Of the City of Petersburg, rejected, on Thurs
day, a counterfeit of the Confederate govern
ment notes, Of he denomination of five dollars.
1t says:
In the counterfeit bill the following stipuls-
tions are left out CT the body Of the note, but
are above and below on the border:
Receivable in payment Of all dues except
export duties" and "Fundable in Confederate
States stock, bearing eight per cent. in-
terest."
The counterfeit has no y]ignette, while the
genuine bill has a center vignette, comprised
Of a female with a pole and a liberty cap, and
eagle On the left Of the female, and or the left
end of the bill a figure Of sailor. The number
inc and filling up in the counterfeit are very
Indifferent. The notes should be we'll scanned

denominations issued By the Confederate gov,

SYRACUSE, Sept. 5.-Ia the af eruOon a long
series Of resolutions were offered, generally
expressing love for the CHIon, a determination
to vigorously prosecute the war Tor an h0BOT-
able peace for all sections, and a general de-
tessatIJn Of the Republican party and its pTiu-
c!Pies, The following is among the resoiu-
tions:
Rs5olreI. That the Democracy of this State
will sus ain no war nor couHtoaauce any peace
tending to a seaarar,0a Of tlese States, aud
that they will regard any attempt 10 peTvert
this CUunic into q war for The emancipation ct
the slaves as fatal 60 all hopes OF a r~5stora-
tiOD OF the Union.
Res0lUeH, That it is The duty Of the admins
tratiou, initiating the patriotic spirit OF the
people to abandon The narrow platform OF the
Chicago convention which stands condemned
BY the sufrages Of nearly two thirds Of the
people and to step forth upon the broad plat
form of The Constitution 10 eXpel corrupt men

advocates Of rePaTaJ!OH or abolition, 90 recon
struct it's cabinet so as TO confirm 10 the alter
ed condition OF The country and to command

deHcc.
Resolved, That while we admit the nsces-
SHY Of summary process OF martial law among
insuTgeHt populations and within the lines OF
military operations, We protest against tie
direction that any power except the Repr5ssn-
tive5 Of he people can suspend the privilege Of

We protest against all assumption o. sXscu-
tive power to es a5iIsh d s. stem OF passports
against the right Of The FEDERAL power to Or
ganize systems Of Stale police, against the
assumption Of the Federal Executive to Tepress
discussions Of the free press by the refusal Of
mail facilities IN any way except by the de.
cision If the civil tribunals, and that finally.
we protest against the doctrine Of Lincoln
as subyersive to the doctrine Of American
liberty.
D. B. Ogden made a patriotic appeal TO the
Democracy 10 rally around the stars and
stripes in support Of The Uniou. He said re-
belIou must be put down, or the government

swain and carpenter, were arrested by order
Of the Navy Department, and put in doubi,

transplred, but it is believed their arrest ba,
grown out Of their reckless conduct from tn,

Considerable diminishing iranspired this
m rning near Bailey'5 Cross Roads. An hour
before daylight the rebels in considerable
force from MunsoB's Hill drove in our pickets
from the Cross Roads and took possession OF
the point. Four companies, commanded by
Cap. Leonard, drove the rebels back and again
hold the position. Our force sustained a loss
Of two killed and wounded. NesrlY twenty OF
the rebels were killed and five taken prisoners.
They state that no Intelligence hid been re-
ceiyed Of The death Of jeff Davis.
At five O'Clock this afternoon our forces were

The Paris correspondent Of the New York

follows from Paris:

the tobacco sale throughout France, assert
that it will surely manage to have the tobacco

in the Southern States, brought over here in

not be surprised TO hear at any moment That

We have but one course 10 pursue we must
nut our land and naval forces on such a foot
ING that our enemies will look twice ere they
| quarrel outright with Us.
The Moniteur, you are aware, publishes from
time to time " letters from London" which
/ are interesting, because they may be regarded
| as expressing to some extent The views OF the
! government on English affairs. In the official
Journal Of to-day is one ef these letters, which
saws: Some disquietude is beginning 10 be felt
at London az TO our relations with the United
! States. The Washington Cabinet and the
| Americans Of the North are greatly irritated
| at the rather undecided attitude which Eng
land has assumed in the present civil war, and
il must be admitted that the cTItIc made
| nv certain English journals on the Manassas
/ affair are not calculated to modify that impress
! sioD. Two circumstance may alter the friend
~ relations Of England with America one is
the armour ced intention Of the Washington
zoyarnment to levy custom duties on vessels at
sssa off ibe ports now in possession Of the Con-
! federates, and the other is The intention
secribed to MIR. Lincoln that the ports occu-
pied BY the rebels are not ports.
Depend upon it, if England will only act,
France is now ready to recognize the South.

Jeff here for London. It is said he goes to in

ton. They will, l suppose, think twice ere
