CITY AND COUNTY.

REV. GEORGE B. CHEEvER, ID. D., OF New
York, preached a sermon on Slavery and the
War, at the Union church, last night, pre-
sening the subject in his style. He drew
parallel between Pharaoh and his treatment
of the children of Israel and our government,
in its management OF slavery. But he thought
our government had not reached the point
of grace that Pharaoh finally attained to when
he was compelled to "let tile people CO.; but
too late to save his government He thought
the Staying of the Egyptian by Moses was
sort of Harper's Ferry affair, and he would
have been hung, as John Brown was, if
Pharaoh could have taken him but God hid
him, and gave him flock to tend and wife
to look after, DIR Cheever was severe in his
condemnation of the government forts conduct
of the war, and for what he called its reverence
for slavery. He thought the rebellion had
been given to US by God, for the express
purpose OF putting down slavery. He thought
il John Brown had been in command of the
Hatteras expedition there would have been
something done more to the purpose; that he
would soon have had negro battalions singing
his favorite hymn,
"Bow ye the trumpet, blow
gladly solemn souHd.'
The church was well filled, and several
times the preacher was applauded in a style
rather unusual during the delivery Of a SER
mon.

Only last week we directed attention to the

Anpusinc Anecdotes.

The austere Purtans of the English Common
wealth had such decided hatred for every kline
| of monarchy, that they would net suffer the
word king in their Bibles, and whenever it oc
cured, substituted "civl magistrate" Thus
! instead of the first and second books Of Kings,
they read the first and second books of civil
magistrates" The author of a religious work
published during CromwelIs protectorate spoke
of the parliament Of heaven" instead of the
Kingdom of heaven"
