Preparations at Fort Pickens.

A letter from Pensacola to the Mobile Id
Uertisa, dated the 25th inst, says
The Yankees are still busy both in and
around Fort Pickens. They have removed
some of the barbette guns, for what purpose
is all conjecture. / was told this morning
by an old sailor in these matters that the
Federalists have erected and planted nine
gun batteries. outside Pickens. The guns
were likely taken from the fleet, as was the
case at Vera Cruz. They'll be troublesome,
worked by old tars.
The Railroad connecting Pensacola and
Montgomery will be completed In few
days. Two new locomotives for the road
were landed this morning.

Tho Rebel CapltnI.

1t has been affirmed and contradicted re-
peatedly, of late, that the capital of the
Southern Confederacy is to be, or has been,
removed from Richmond, Va, to Nashville,
Tenn. Many reasons are given for the pro-
posed removal; among others that affairs on
the Potomac have assumed shape to make
Richmond not the safest or most secure place
in the world for JEFF. Davis & Co; another
reason is that it is thought the removal to
Nashville would exert some influence, if
possible upon Kentucky. and Missouri, by
bringing the Confederate base of operations
nearer these States. Whether Nashville
would make better capital than Richmond,
We opine could have had little to do in the
determination, unless the design wGs to fix
upon permanent seat Of government, which
we suppose has not yet been carried out.
The Confederstes will hardly establish
fixed capital until the matter is settled
whether they can set up successful inde-
pendent Government.

II is too much the custom, remarks the
Philadelphia Press, for men of the world,
and those entertaining liberal ideas, to
sneer at religion, and make its ministers
the subject of their soorn. We take it to
be sign of cowardice TO scof at either
woman or a clergyman, for the sex of
the one and the profession of the other
prohibits areply. Whatever may be said
of individual cases, there is something in
the clerical profession which commands
our respect and, especially, when con-
sidering the position they have assumed in
the progress of the present rebellion.
Throughout the loyal States the patriotism
of the clergymen has been extraordinary,
and no engine of public sentiment is more
powerful and patriotic than the pulpit
Some of these appeals are among the most
splendid specimens of eloquence, and their
effect will so far toward uniting the ma
tional feeling, and concentrating the loyal
energies of our people.
There is general and q just objection
in the minds of the people against min
isterial interference with politics This
objection is just, if those who make it only
preserve the proper distinction. The sci
ence of partisanship--the management of
party conventions-thei intrigues and shame
of our elections-can only pollute the holy
| calling. But there are times when politics
rises into patriotism, when the country de-
mands of her people their utmost energy
and self-denial. We manage the State to-
| day-to-morrow it may be Necessary to save
the State. In its management we may ex-
clude the ministers of God-in its salvation
we can exclude no one.
The religious element enters largely into
this war. We have regiments as rigid and
orthodox as the cohorts of the Protector. In
providing literature for the army, the vari-
Gus ecclesiastical societies have given a
great amount of time and money. In the
hospitals the hand of kindness is the hand
of religious devotee, and the agonies of the
wounded and dying are sOOthed by sis
ter of the Holy Church. In maintaining
the discipline of the camp the religious in
fuenceis controlling, and many fierce
spirit which ressts the threats and punish
ment of the officer in command will melt
into tenderness at simple prayer, recall
ing other and more innocent days.
We, therefore, read of the exertions of
the ministry with peculiar pleasuse. Let
these gentlemen go on in their good work.
A man will fight better who prays to God
and keeps his powder dry. The Christian
soldier may be fanatic or bigot, but he
has sense of his responsibility and a
knowledge of his duties which belong to the
| true soldier. Above all, he has the con-
science of this fight, and in this rebellion
we want men who feel the principles at
stake, and appreciate the holy cause for
which they fight.

TREATMENT OF CRoUP.-Croup is an in
flammation of the inner surface of the wind
pipe. Inflammation implies heat, and that
heat must be subdued or the patient will
inevitably die. If prompt efforts are made
to cool the parts in case of an attack of
Group, relief will be as prompt as it is sur
prising and delightful. All know that o
cold applied to hot skin cools it, but all
do not as well know and understand that
hot water applied to an infamed skin will
as certainly cool it off. Hence the applica-
tion of ice-cold water with linen cloths, or
of almost boiling water with wOolen fan
mel, is very efficient in the cure of Group.
Take two or three pieces of woolen fan
mel of two folds. Large enough to cover
the whole throat and upper part of the
chest; put these IL q pan of water as hot as
the hand can bear, and keep it thus hot,
by adding water at boiling tea kettle at
the hot water all the time, and one on the
throat all the time, with dry flannel COW
ering the wet one, so as to keep the steam
in to some extent; the hannels should not
be so wet when put on, as to dribble the
water, for it is important to keep the
clothing as dry as possible, and keep up
this process, until the doctor comes, or un-
til the phlegm is loose, the child easier
and begins to fall to Sleep then gently
wrap dry flannel over the wet one which
is on, so as to cover it up entirely, and the
child is saved. When it wakes up both
fannels will be dry.-HaIEs Journal.

AN INcIDENT.-The most striking incident
Of the burning of st. Paurs Church, Phila-
delphia, on Tuesday, was the falling Of the
cross from the steeple. The massive roof be-
aing covered with tin, the church was trans.
formed into stove, the steeple serving for
pipe, and it was half-past three before any
flames rose from the main building, though
the steeple, or rather belfry, had been vomit-
ing flames for half an hour andtwas almost
consumed.
It was supposed by some that the belfry
would remain standing, as far as its bones
and unscathed cross were concerned; but
suddenly, after il had almost ceased burning,
even on the "leeward" side, rib gave way
on that side, under the weight Of the ponder
Gus cross ard the violent wind, and, with o
curve as graceful as an expert diver could
make, it swooped over, head first, into the
middle of the church. Each one of the mas
sive window frames Of the great befry
had already made similar graceful dive.
This was the climax of misfortune, in the
eyes of the multitude assembled. All the
approaches to the place had been filled with
fearful women for an hour but the falling of
this revered emblem of their faith was ut
terly unbearable.
