The Governor Of Massachusetts and the
heroic Butler have been engaged OF late in q
controversy, in which charges of immortality
in certain appoiutees have been freely ban
died about, and each has endeavored to hold
up the other to the indignation of virtuous
be greatly shocked if any of its officials
should be found even indirectly capable of
conniving at vice by making appointments Of
men who are not entirely unexceptionable in
thsfk morals and above suspicion! A people
who can carry on war from such motives,
with such purposes, and in such way as the
present, must be painfully sensitive to any
thing like deviation from the path of perfect
rectitude in their public servants A contest
between such illustrious saints as the heavenly
minded Andrew and the heroic Butler. in.
volving imputations upon their respectiv cha
raeters,may we'll I'LL mankind with incredulity
of all human Virtue, and cause the angels to
weep tears of blood!
The most disgusting Of all the vices of man,
and especially civilized man, is undoubtedly
hypocrisy. The external respect which men
who are hopelessly rotten in their inward ma
ture pay to virtue, like the polished coffin on
the whited sepulchre, only makes more repul'
sive the corruption within. Tho savage who
goes about sans culottes, and who cuts up all
manner of improper didoes, without any sense
Of shame or. idea of propriety, is far more
respectable person. 1t would be impossible
tn find in all haathAndom two such caitiffs and
yahoos as Governor Andrew, of Massachu-
sets, and the magnificent General Butler;
yet these two men are gravely and valiantly
impeaching each other before the delicate
Massachusetts public, as if any one had ever
suspected either of them of virtue.

very eloquent and impressive sermon,
preashed At Centrsville by Rev p Slaughter,
chaplain OF the 10th Regiment Virginia Vol
nnteers, has been put in the form of a tract,
and Is admirably adapted for general circuls.
Hon. The taxi is IL Hinge, 1920. "Thus

Now on whom dost thou trust that thou re-.
Aellest against me p The subject is treated
both In its political and religious aspect in q
manner which cannot but be productive Of
general satisfaction and of spiritual good.
Mr. Slaughter inherits from his patriotic An.

Matrimonial-The old saying that love and
war hunt in couples, must be true. Tho con-
vulsion now shaking the moral world, or that
portion of it embraced on this continent, has
not effected any revolution in the domain OF
Cupid. Tho blind god pitches in for his
rights a. strong as ever-in fact, 3 little
stronger. Rev. DR.. Moore says that during
the last year he married moro couples than he
had previously done in any one year during
the course of his ministry. No doubt this
has been the experience Of other preachers,
also. On inquiry at the Hastings Court
of Yesterday, We learned that tn: Clerk
one permits for his fellow-citizens to make
themselves intensely happy or supremely
miserable, a. the case may be. 1t is fair to
hme, as the month is not yet out, the
tndAIber may reach twenty Ave. It 10 emf
nently proper that marriages should b on.
couraged, and it affords gratifying evidence
of the healthy state Of public opinion whom
we see 90 many venturing their little berk.,
freighted with love and hope, on sea which
may be troubled with angry pillows and
wreck vessel and passengers both.

The next most important news will prob
ably be from Kentucky. Ere this there would,
II all probability, have been some very 20.
1bous collisions but for the rise in the wa
tsrs, which DISTRACTED marc hes and washed
away Buel's pontoOns. The enemy has ae
immense force there; but ours is we'll pre-
pared to meet it. General A. Sidney John.
ston is an oficer Of great resources and great
energy. Our cause in Kentucky will DO no.
bly, maintained. The madness Of the abon
tionists In Washington has helped us con-
siderably In that State. and will likely very
much diminish the enlistments among Union
men there to war on the South.

DELAWARE, OHIO, OCTOBER 10, 1862.
Granarias of tha West.

The following extract is from Mr.. Trollope's
recent travels in the United States:
L was at Chicago and at Buffalo in October
1861. l went down to the granaries and climb
ed up into the elevators. / saw the wheat
running in rivers from cne vessel to another,
and from the railroad vans up into the huge
bins on the top stories of the warehouses; for
these rivers of food run up hil as easily as they
do down. | saw the corn measured by the
forty bushel measure with as much ease as we
measure an ounce of cheese, and with greater
raPidity. l ascertained that the work went
on, week day and Sunday. day and night inces
sanity; rivers of wheat and rivers of maize
ever running. l saw men bathed in corn as
they distributed it in its flow. I saw bius by
the score laden with wheat, ia each of which
bins there was space for comfortable resi-
dence. l breathed the -four, and drank the
-four, and felt myself to be enveloped in a
world Of breadstuff. And then l believed, IN
derstOod and brought it home to myself as
fact, that here in the corn lands Of Michigan,
and amid the bluffs of Wisconsin, and on the
high table plains of Minnesota, and the Prair-
les OF Illinois, hath God prepared the food for
the increasing millions of the Easter world, as
also for the coming millions of the WesterR.-
began then to know what IL was for COUP
try TO overflow with milk and honey, to burst
with its fruits, and be smothered with its own
riches. From St. Paul down the Mississippi
by the shores of Wisconsin and Iowa-by the
ports on Lake Pepin-by La Crosse, from
which one railway runs eastward-by Prairie
du Chen, the terminus of a secondly Dun
leith, Falton, and Rock Island, from whence
