+. NJ, by Rev. DR.. Storrs cf Brooklyn,
n. Y, at the First Presbyterian Church,
las. Tuesday evening.
Efota first Cor !: 29, last clause, "And
things hich are not, to bring to naught
things that arc"
After very natural exposition of the
passage Of which this forms the caimax,
the speaker proceeded to show that the
things that are not recougnized of men
are the chosen auxilaries of God-accom-
plishing the overthrow of oil human ins!itu-
tions not in harmony with truth and right
eousness. The greatness Of the work to be
done, TO eradicate Judaism and implant
Christianity. to batter down the colossal
poweFs of lheathen KDms, and raise there
npen the temples of the true God, and later
The yet nphnshed conflict With apOstate
Rome, were rapidly passed over aud held
uP as the most lucid commentary of the
text---'the things that are not do bring TO
bought the things that aFep The encour-
agement In the missionary work to draw
from this truth was dwelt upon with great
force aud brillancy. TO report the sermon

The Potomac Closed,

The latest intelligence from the lower
Potomac leads to the belief that the reb.
els have fulfilled the threat to close up the
naviga ton on that cbane 1t appears
that since the battle of BULBS Run they
have been bnsily engagedand without mol
estatation, in erecting batteries on the Vir
ginia shore, until they now throw offtheil
masks and present an armament that it Il
not considered wise for any vessel to en-
counter. If the accounts from that depart
ment of the war are reliable, the govern
nent has something to do at once. The
Potomac must be opened to our commerce,
| and it these batteries can not be silenced
by our floating armament, the army must
pay its respects to them on land. BY a
simultaneous attack, front and rear, they
would soon fall into our hands and secure
uninterrupted navigation. An attack upon
these batteries may lead 10 a general and
decisive action on the Virginia banks of
the Potomac, aud il Gen. MCCLELLAN is
ready we trust that it may The Potomac
must be opened and kept open at all haz.

The eminent success which has attended
the Wade and Hutchins' Regiment of Cav

commission these gentlemen to raise 0nOth-

The 2nd Ohio cavalry regiment now en-
camped in Cleveland, is composed Of twelve
companies Of very fine men, 1t is also
oflicered by gentlemen of ability, and will
soon be in marching order. To the Hon
John IIntchins especially, is due great cred
it for the untiring attention he has given to
this regiment, neither sparing himself or
his money
1t is refreshing to see member of Cong
ress sleeping in camp, as he has done and
roughiug it with the volunteers. Senator
Wade has also taken personal interest in
the organization Of the regiment. We
have no doubt but Mcssrs Wade anc
