A Sabbath Assault.

We are pleased to see that there is a gen.
eral disposition, on The part of the religious
press, to speak of the conduct of our army
officers. in their desecration of the Lords
day, and that also there is a great degree OF
humanity in condemnation of the impiety
We would cherish no superstitious feelings,
but We know that Gods Kingdom ruleth
over all, and that mans body needs rest
and mans mind needs the influences of re-
ligion, and that God will hold man account
able for desecrating the sabbath day. We
hope that the officers of the American Army
will, hereafter have the fear of God in their
hearts and never again, if at all avoidable.
lead their men into battle upon Gods Holy
Day.
The american Presbyterian says of the as.
sault at Bull Run.
g We are not among those disposed to
carp at the Government, or to- pick flaws in
a policy which as a whole, is 50 wise and SO
vigorous but we are compelled to join in
the general protect against the initiation of
active military movements on the Lords day.
There may have been asons amour ing to a
military necessity for the movement on the
morning of the day Of rest the 2lst of July
but we doubt it. On the contrary, it would
seem that the week had been one of severe
fatigue to our untrie1 volunteers. They
had foughta battle and met with severe loss.
They had marched thirty miles. through q
deserted country, and under excessive heat.
The enemy was but imperfectly comprehen-
ded. and days repose would not, for aught
we can see, haze resulted IN anything but
advantage to our forces. The result, indeed
might have been unchanged but the appre-
hension that we bad perhaps offended the
God Of the Sabbath, would not have mingled
a new drop of bitterness in tbs cup of disas-
ter"
Whether defeat was sent to army Of abe
North because they brought about the bat
tie ON the Sabbath, or not one thing is GER
tain that no attacking army can expect the
Divine being to cause victory to perch upon
its banners simply because they did fight on
Sunday.

3RECK. RETIREs IN DISGUST.
BALTIMORE For The UNION.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-Breckinridge's efforts
to speak were continued for half an hour be-
fore he was compelled to desist. Among the
broken sentences heard were that " He de.
sired te speak for the poor and weak, and
not for the rich and powerful" A voice re-
sponded s'You lie and you know you do"
He referred to the position of Maryland
whose citizens had again and again been out
ragged in their dearest constitutional rights,
and to all respectful enquiries as to charges
| alleged against those who had been rudely
torn from their homes and family, nothing
but contemptuous responses had been heard.

Cries of s'no mop intermingled with Kisses
and shouts of '' Oh dry up, you traitor -
| &c., &c.
Mr.. Breckenridge enquired why they were
present if they did not desire to hear him.
CheeriRg, followed by hisses, drowned his
voice.
| A violent commotion was now observed
among the crowd, which swayed from pave
ment to pavement as under strong excite
ment and the espantoons of the police were
piled with vigor on the heads of those who
seemed to be resisting.
| Mr.. Breckinridge speaking amid the din
said that those who interrupted him with
| opprobrious epithets and with Kisses were
poor fellows who were tightening the degrad-
ing fetters which bound them." Renewed
cheering, followed instantly by renewal of
violent disturbance.
MIR. Breckenridge. " You poor fellows may
hiss me now, but your children will bless
me-" A voice, ''oh, so to South Carolina,
and be id to you" This was met by
vehement cheers, and rush by the police
followed by gang of men from the right tow
ards the side from whence proceeded the
cheers, during which several men were Sc
verely beaten and hurried bleeding from the
street.
Mr.. Breckinricge. {" If you don't intend to
allow me to speak, then disperse the crowd.

ber." Cheers and Kisses. q If did not
know the squad of men disturbing this as
semblage were no opponents of the senti-
ments OF the people of Baltimore should de.
spair of your city" Cheers fer JEFF. Davis
and Gen. Scott.
Another scene of commotion again ensued.
Amid frequent Interruptions the speaker pro-
ceeded to say that since the time when the
Constitution had been designated as the linn
it to despotic power. nothing so outrageous
as these enacted by the Administration had
ever occurred. Liberty" he said. "existed
before the Constitution was formed, and
whenever the issue is presented between that
on the one hand and mere form of Govern
ment on the other, the form would perish, but
principles would survive"
Kisses, groans and cheers.
Mr.. Breckinridge. l feel personally re-

The great Garibaldi las rendered his SER
vices to the Federal Government. The corr

and accepted took place between the Amer

The offer, of course, was accepted and the
rank of Major-General rendered to the noble
Italian.

REFORM IN THE ARMY.-Great reforms, we
are glad to learn, have lately been made IN
the army. Congress has closed all drinking
saloons in the District. Spirituous liquors
have been excluded from the army, and Gen,
Butler at Fortress Msnroe, has commenced
the work of temperance by banishing tn I'm
from his own table. The disorderly soldiers
who were allowed to iDfest Washington and
Alexandria have been put under arrest, and
reduced to discipline. No additional regu
lation. as far as we learn, has been made in
regard to Sunday, but this, We trust, will not
be long wanting,

There Shall be No Alps.

Napoleon Bonaparte was about twenty
seven years of age, and had been married to
Josephine only ten days, when be set out to
assume command of the Army of Italy, and
repair the reverses of ScheYer. Advance
this young man." said Barras to one of bis
colleagues, or he will advance himself with
out you." In three months" said the
young General 81 shall be either at Milan or
at Paris" When told that the Alps were
impossible, be declared, in the orders Of the
daY, "There shall be no Alps" In less than
a month be gained six battles, and before a
year had elapsed, he had grown old 10 vie-
tory. We have placed at the head of the
armies of the Union a young hero, who has
already giving us quite as significant indica'
tions of bis capability as had the Corsisan
artilerist when the Directory sent him to
Italy. He has begun to train for the future
the material placed in his lands, and we
believe the brilliancy of the result win justi-
fy the truthfulness of the parallel. He takes
up the cause where a mortifying defeat has
left it. He is conscious of the difficulties in
his path. but by the energy with which be
addresses himself to his mission, he pro-
claims his cUEfdence in overcoming all OBJ
staeles, and by bis every act declares
Z" There shall be no alps" Not only so, but
he has electrified those around him with the
same ardor, and it only remains for the Gov
ernment and people to second his efforts, in
order TO make them successful. We are con-
fdent that masked batteries, incendiarism
and murder may be met and overcome, and
that though these obstacles may be accumus
lated in his way, and stand like mountains
to oppose his triumphal progress, yet to the
Napoleon of the West, as to the Napoleon OF
the East, there shall be no Alps" Three
months will tell the story, and Virginia
m ust continue to yield to him, as did Italy
to his prototype, a harvest of victories. =

The Pirates of the Petrol.

The Rebel vessel, in this case, was the
privateer Petrol, formerly the revenue cntter
General Aiken. The captor was the United
States frigate St. Lawrence. and the remain
der of the pirate crew is safely ensconced in
the county prison, on Passyunk road.
The vessels came within speaking distance
and a man in uniform was seen mounted
upon the pirates deck, who shouted to the
St. Lawrence to lay to and send over boat.
The crew were distinctly seen fourishing
their cutlasses, and the gunners ramming
and pointing their guns. She carried three
guns, supposed to be rifed cannon. Then
the St. Lawrence threw up Der ports, aud
disclosed whole broadsde of cannon, with
the gunners at the breeches Of the guns, hold
ing lighted fuses. and directly the broad
decks were filled with seamen in blue jackets
armed with muskets, who sprang into the
shrouds and ran out the yards, laying prone
in tho maintop, on the bowsprit, in the fore
castle, and at every point where aim could
be taken with advantage. In a word, the
ugly merchantmen was mstamorph0sed into
a bristling war ship, with man at every
point, and a broad side of cannon looking
into the eyes of the pirates. The latter, ta-
ken aback, recoiled moment; but before
they had time for action, even for thought,
the guns belched forth iron and fire, splinter
ing the masts, cutting the rigging and sails
as with knives, breaking the spars and the
booms, literally carving the schooner into
peices, opening CULTS into which the waters
rushed, as though sluices, filling the hold.
and admonishing the Rebels that their sole
hopes of life lay in the ships boat or in
wrestling with the sea.
The fire still continued, and the water was
full of driftwood Many of the men jumped
overheard. and the rest, launching the life
boat, jumped in and held up white hand
kerchief as sign oil surrender.
But one man had an opportunity to 60
down into the cabin for his property, and he
was the Lieutenant. fellow named Harvey,
formerly midsaipnan in the United States
service. under command of Captain Sartori
Harvey recovered his trunk.
The officers of the ST. Laurence now dis
covered the life boat and the flag OF humilias
ton. They dropped boat and made out to
the ebels, and finally passed them on board
ship, where they were ironed as fast as recei-
we'd, and securely confined below.
THE PRAYING CHRISTIAN SoLDlER.-On tba
Sabbath morning on which the battle oil
Lake Champlain was fought, the British
Commodore sent man to the masthead to
see what the Americans were doing on Conn
modore Nc Donough's ship, The look out
told him that they were gathered about the
maipmast, and seemed to be at prayer. :
"Ah," said commodore Downie, "that looks
we'll for them, but bad for us" And so ii
proved, for at the very first shot from the
American ship, which was chain'shot, the
British Commodore was cut in TWO and killed
in moment. Commodore McDoneugh was
a man of prayer, and brave as lion in bat
tie. He died as be lived, simple hearted,
earnest Christian.

Prince Napoleon gone to Manassas

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Prince Napoleon
started this morning, at o'clock, accompa-
MED by his suite, for the other side OF the
river, designing to pass out OF our lines with
in those Of the Disunion army, at least as
far as Fairfax Court House, if not to Manas
sas Junction.
General Mcdowell probably caused him to
be escorted through our lines by two compa-
ries of United States Cavalry.
There is strong ground for the belief that
the Princes visit to this country IS more for
political than for any other purpose, and for
the enlightenment Of the Emperor on current

AN IMPORTANT QUEsTIoN.-An exchange
asks this question:
g Would Gen. Washington have srrren-
dered Maj. Andre to any writ of ha6eas COR
pus? The question suggests the answer
He ,oould not"
We commend these few lines to those ten
der hearted secessonists, who are so exercis-
ed at the suspension of the ha6eas corpus to
prevent the escape of traitors. They contain
more reason than the speeches of both Breck-
;nridge and Valandigham.
