PIETY AND PATRIcylsM.-The- religious cnni-

years. The outpourings of clcquence with
which this great centre is annually flooded by
reverend gentlemen from all parts of the conn-

sobIiety and tameness that are not at all et-

IMPORTANT MILITARY ApfoINTMENrs.-On the
authority of Thurlow Weed we are able to
state that President Lincoln has resolved to
bestow an important military position-proba-
bly, that Of Commissary General--upon Go
vernon Banks. To no one could such posi-
ton be more safely entrusted. The adminis-
trative talent Of Governor Banks, fits him
admirably for a trust so important. Mr.. Weed
also tells us that Chevalier Webb is to be raised
to the rank of Brigadier General! This is also
good-better than good, it is excellent The
Chevalier will at once proceed to. tho Misss-
sippi river; embark on its waters in a fat boat;
and, having arrived within proper distance
of New Orleans, will open the sluices upon that
devoted city. Secession and secessionists will
be drowned out like rats, under the leadership
of the redoubtable chieftain. He will not take
with him the mahogany stock pistols, as water,
and not powder, is the weapon with which he
purposes to accomplish his warlike feats. Let
every one look out for the bulletins, from the
seat of war, of Chevalier Webb.

PUNCH or THE BoMBARDMENT OF FoRr Sur
TER-A Conc VIEw.-We print elsewhere e
very humorous correspondence constructed by
Mr.. Petnch, and supposed to have passed be
tween General Beauregard, Major Anderson
and l.. p. Welker, the secessionist Secretary Of
War, at the time of the bombardment of Fort
Sumter. 1t is refreshing, because harmless to
see momentous event, and what at least had
the appearance of a terrible tragedy turned
into an amusing farce. 1t gives us an idea Of
what foreigners think of the bloodless bonn
bardment; aud as Puach's talk about canvass
back ducks, brandy smashes and Major Ander-
sons digestive organs, and bis having no.
thing but bis gingham umbrella left to
cover him after forty hours gallant re-
sistance, is quite in accordance with
the views Of more solemn authorities in Great
Britain, the said talk is worth hearing. The
Thunderer for instance, said, in its issue Of the
10th ultimo, that all the proceedings at Charles
ton have hitherto been carried on much as a
cricket match or an eight-oar race might take
place in England. The highest courtesy seem
ed TO have obtained on both sides. The ladies
turned out to grace the contest. A good shot
from Fort Sumter was as much applauded as
good shot from Fort Moultrie. When the Amc-
rican flag was shot away General Beauregard
sent Major Anderson another to fight under
When the fort was found to be on fire the DO
lite enemy, who had with such intense energy
labored to excite the confagration, offer
ed an equally energetic assistance to put
it out. When the dispossessed enemy
passed through the streets of Charleston
the cheering of the psople'was frantic. The
only indignation felt throughout the affair was
at the conduct Of the aotilla, which kept out.
side and took no part in the fray. The South.
erners resented this as an act of treachery
towards their favorite enemy-Major Anderson.
The courtesies, indeed, were more fatal than
the hostilities; for whereas no life was destroyed
by the guns fred in anger, two men were killed
and four wounded by the peaceful salute. Al
together, says the Times, nothing can be more
free from the ferocious hatrcds which are dis
tinctive of civil warfare than this bloodless
conflict has hitherto been. "No one is hurt
says Major Anderson, at the mouth of Mr..
Punch. "And," remarks Punch himself, " so
ended the first (aAd we trust the LAST engage
ment of the American civil war;"

TIE THE PoLcY or THE ARxY on THE
UxfoH-Cosfrcr OF general BUrLER.-We
publ q yes.erdsy q correspondence between
raj Butter, o. that State, in reference to the
conduct OF The latter III aiding to suppress
negro insurfectioSs in Maryland and restoring
fugitive slaves to their matters. Governor
Andrew, wso ID an aboltioDi-t, takes fxcep-
ton TO this course, O. the ground that the loss
Of alaves in ths Southern States wea.sens the
enemy, and that every Kind OF policy which
weskers an enemy ought TO be adopted. Gene.
raj Butler replies that Maryland is not
an enemy, but loyal; thai the attack on she
troope in Baltimore was the irresponsible act
Of secession mob, and was condemned by the
Governor and all respectable citizeng; and
that the course pursued in restoring the slaves
had moe. happy effect at Annapolis, il re-
moving tie mistaken idea that the Northern
army was marching South to H5erate negro
slaves. On the contrary, its object was to
maintain law and or der, to uphold the Union
and the constitution, and to rst down black az
well as white insurrections. This Is the true
policy Of the w:r, and its effect will be to over
throw abolition with one hand, while ii pros.
trates secession with the other. The demo
cratic element IN the Union arnyis equally
as determined to snuff out the treason and dis
union Of abolitcnism as to put down revolu-
tonary secession. To restore fugitive, slaves
is one of the clearcst provisions Of the consti-
tuition; to protect the rights Of property is
another; and it would i'll become those who
grid on their armor and go forth to battle in
defence of the constitution to tramp.e on it
themselves. The mission Of the army, accord
ing to the inaugural and the proclamations of
MIR. Lincoln, is to protect and restore property,
and not to destroy, and; above all, to execute
the laws" Those who attempt to defeat that
purpose by pervertiDg the army to other uses
are neither good soldiers nor good citizens,
and the sooner they come home the better fer
themselves and the country. The law abiding
example of General Butler is deserving OF
praise and worthy Of universal imitation.

tactics OF THE MODERN CHIvALRy.-The
cause Of secessionism mast be in bad way, If
we are to Judge by the mean and dishonest de-
vices by which the Southern journals seek to
stimulate the lukewarmness Of those who have
been dragged into reluctant assent to their
schemes, merely through the influence of ter
rorism. As a sample, we Gull the following
from the Richmond Whig:---
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS AT me NORTH.
After all the Dragging which the telegraph has reported
ove. ,ne immense sums poured iSr,a oy Northern nit
ment appears, from the list published In the HERALD,
that the grand total only reaches Ss7,79 AT this

like smart Yankee he is has very good opinion
OF government without resources. His tariff yields him
nonc-volunary contributions are very little better
forced eves the only alternative Let the merchant
princes look TO their Golfers
How magnanimousl IL the chivalry of the
Old Dominion can End no better weapons than
such perversions Of truth, secessionism there
will make but poor fight of it. We need not
recall to the recollection of our readers the
fact that the only two lists published by the
HERALD Of the voluntary contributions OF the
North gave an aggregate Of over S27 100000,
instead Of Ss7 100, as stated by the Wing, and
this only of sums over $1,000. Ii the contri-
buttons under that amount had been added, 1t
would have swelled up the total to at least a
third more. 1t is by such misstatements of the
resources of the government and of the patriotic
disposition Of the North that the rebel leaders
and their organs endeavor to combat the strong
Union feeling still existing in many Of the Sc.
coded States. They cannot long, however,
succeed in concealing the truth, and unless
they make good the pledges they have made
their misguided followers, they will ora Of
these days have terrible reaction 10 en-.
