While cheerfully giving tho above hue-and-cry
one grstuitous insertion in TIIE TRIBUNE, We
shall make bold to add few comments Of our
own. Aud here, to begin them, We beg leave to
ark, if it be common for Southern churches to
be so entirely out of the article of minister as to
be compelled TO advertise for the same Why
does the temporary incumbent throw up his con-
mission, go to speak, upon the 10Th proximo!
Does he not receive his rtipo regularly Does
he intend to 20 into tie military line1 To eI-
change bis black coat for ste,acket, his Bible
for bayonot, the sword Of the spirit for sword
! of steel Is there rather an active demand for
militia chGplans about this time? These ore
neither imperncnt nor rrcycrent questions; for We
find in the Charleston correspondence Of our we'll
beloved journal Of COmmercs-a newspaper ex-
ceedingy devoted TO all religious uffars-we find,
we say, that one of the lately banded compaoics
| in the Rebel army sis commanded by minister
" of the Episcopal Church. md has in the ranks
ten divinity students" We can imagine this
poemic commencing drill with: dearly beloved
brethren! SCOTS Tactics move us in sundry
L" placcs"-but We need not pursue parody
which might be offensive to the good, but which
would be decorum itself when compared with the
fantastic ticks Of this rampant rector. Now, il
there BE- any Unitarian clergyman" who may
be tempted TO respond fayorsby to the above III
yitatiOD our advice 10 him is seriously TO reflect
upon the amount Of salary offered certainly for
tie labortr is worthy Of his hire upon the
chances of lie being paid, to be sure, for when
nan expects moley and docs not get it, the fail
ure is ~, 10 rai,e dabolcLl emotions in the dis
appointed bosom; but also, and especially. upon
the chance that no may be hailed from his pulpit
TO tie camp may be compelled to dig in the
Trenches aud to keep mp with the amy no mat
ter how wcnrily forced tie march may be. How
unpleasant indeed for n /" Unitarian clergyman
who has just seated hmLtlf TO tic study OF the
frat chapter OF the Gospel according TO ST. John,
or for nm Episccpalian just comfortably tnkiug in
hand the Fathers, to be rub-a-dub'd out Of his
sacred retreat, to be summoned from bis exicons
and commentaries and al tho dear delights of
e1egcsi.. {, be forced to lay down his pen in the
very ecstasy 81 his {" Foufthly and lastly" and
" to march TO the wars at the sound of the
" drum :"
IL may indeed be argued, from the fact that
this Church mas taken the uncommon step Of I'D
yerti,ing for shepherd, that It really wants n
pastor aud not a high private. Well: New

in lis congregation. But ClergmCn are not, or
a. lcas, shoud not be trained for destiny so
ignoble. How especially could one OF that class
calling itself Liberal, endure one week of that
Slavery which would be implied in the fact that
not he but hB congregation was tcacter-that
ho was the guided nnd no. the guidc--that upon
certain subjects he was expected 10 be dumb,
while these very utjects were Of vital
importance in any scheme Of honest

this city should organize church, aud isk Mr.

tion that be should never rcbuke unchastlty

in public or private, that Slavery il rght--who
