Eg-The clergymen of most denomina-
tons in the South make politics their theme
on the Sabbath. They preach politics the
more fiercely for the reason that every man
has conscience which warns him against
expressing the weak; the conscience must

religion. 1t is question whether there
can be any religion under the new govern
ment, to be decided ~ abolition of all

BRITISH NEUTRALITY AND THE BLOCKADE
The numerous instances which have occurred
of vessels running the blockade of the Southern
ports with cargoes to and from the British pro-
vinces naturally lead us to inquire whether the
conduct of the authorities at these places, with
respect to such vessels, is in accordance With
the spirit Of the Queens proclamation ST.
John, New Brunswick; Bermuda, Barbados
and Halifax, Nova Scotia, have been favo-
rite resorts of the craft intent upon giving
aid and comfort to the enemy At the
former place vessels have loaded with
articles contraband Of war, and VIGOROUSLY
intended for the use Of the rebels, and
at the latter numerous arrivals from the block
AIDED ports have taken place. Yet in the former
case there was no hesitation on the part of the
custem house to give clearances, and in the lat
ter to accept the clearances of the Davis govern
ment. The consequence is, that premium is

AN NHUMAN ArRoCrrY-The burning of the
railroad bridges by the rebels on the Hannibal
and St. Joseph Railroad, by which a train was
precipitated into the bed of river, thereby
killing seventeen persons on the spot and seri-
ously wounding many more, is one of those dia-
bolical acts which deserves the execration of
mankind and the punishment of death upon its
heartless perpetrators. 1t is worse crime than
the poisoning by Chinese Of the bread intend

ed towards the destruction of innocent people
taking no active part in hostilities and those
people of the same kin and country as the plot
tiers in this cowardly tragedy. 1t would be diff
fcult for us to sufficiently express our abhor-
renee of anything SO hellish in design and devil
ish in execution, and we make use of the words
with more than vulgar sense of their meaning.

guilty of this Infamous wickedncss will be dis
covered and brought to justice. Meanwhile, we

BACKBONE OF THE PREsIDENT.-Old Abe is
stiffening his backbone. In his recent letter
written to Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, in
regard to United States forces in Kentucky,
the President says -" There is military
force in camp in Kentucky, acting by an-
thority of the United States. I also believe
that arms have been furnished to them by the
United States government; but they are Ken
tuckans, and not assailing or menacing any
one" Then in reply to Magoffin's request that
they should be removed, he states that
he does not remember that any one, ex-
cept your Excellency and the bearer of
your Excellency's letter, has urged the re-
moval of the military force. therefore decline
to do it." After this emphatic refusal, the
President gives Senator Breckinridge's Gov.
ernor broad hint by declaring that he could
not find in his long letter any declaration or
intimation that he entertained any desire for
the preservation of the Union.
Another letter Of the President has just
turned up, written to Secretary Cameron
in regard to the appointment of Senator
Lane, Of Kansas as Brigadier General. In this
letter he discards all circumlocution of red
tape, and declares that the government wants
just such man out West, and adds, 1--WE had
better appoint him to-day and send him off to

pointed volunteer officers will remember ~
"Tell him." says the President, "When ne
starts to put it through, not to be wrih g or tee

fear that one Of the great causes of delay in Tue

telegraphing back to the capital, instead Of
