Religion at New Orleans

A Methodist Clergyman, now an officer 10
the Union Army, writes from New Orleans,
under date of June 25th -
Asa general rule the churches are inc
buildings, and the societies are composed of
strong and intelligent men. This applies to
the Methodist churches, of which there are
several in this city. The state of religious
interest is very low. Many OF the clergy
men have been the most violent secessionists.
So many have entered the army in different
capacities or run away upon the arrival of
the Union forces Tor fear OF punishment, that
the majority OF the societies are now without
regular pastors. A prominent clergyman,
pastor OF one Of the most popular churches
in the city, visited Gen Butler, soon after
his arrival, and representing that he was in
the habit Of publicly praying for the promi.
nent officials in the Southern Confederacv
inquired if he could continue to so. Tn,

The New War Policy.

Tho Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, alluding to the destruc-
ton of The Rufhn property at Harrison's Land
ing, says:
= Everybody is talking of the brilliant achiev-
ments OF yesterday morning and evening, and
rejecting upon the bold policy adopted at the
latter named time, and are cong graduating
themselves upon the fact that var has no,o be-
gun IN earnest.
The effect Of this raid Of ours, the first ever
known to US as having been instituted, has been
decidedly beneficial upon the mind of every man
in the army. They now feel assured that the
enency heretofore shown toward the private
property Of our enemies is no longer to be the
rule tnat hencetorth every species of their
property will be used, when it can be found of
material benefit to our cause, and that the coax
ing, KINDLY policy, which so long has teen appa-
rent, is to be abandoned.
This beneficial effect, SO plainly exhibited by
our army, is seen in the self satisfied counter
ance, is heard in the cheering, animated con. err
sation, is observed in a variety of ways. and to
such an extent as too add renewed vgor and
strength to the entire force; tho effect of which
being as beneficial as if we had been reinforced
with twenty thousand men.
We saw, yesterday afternoon, at the point
where rne OF our batteries 10 stationed, Just
above the Mail Dock, squad of contrabands
engaged in throwing up Notifications in front of
the same battery, This fact is another cheer
ing feature in the new policy now adopted, and
had 1t been instituted a year ago many valuable
lives might have been saved, and our army less
decreased by death and sickness
We have it from friend of ours who has
been in conversation with an officer of the rebe
army who had deserted their cause, that orders
had been issued to the General in command O
their division, to the effect that they must gc
somewhere, do something either give us battl'
or retire further South, as matters were in sucl
u desperate strait at Richmond that they hat
not, neither could they get the proper subsist
ence to keep both army and citizens alive. Tha
it was immatsral whether or not hundre
thousand of them were slain in giving us battle
yet they must move somewhere.

The dear fee in grave Surroundings hid.
But to-nigbas sit in my chamber

And tell otlefea; and despair;
And know inid the strife and the carnage.

Interesting from the South.

The New Yorl Worlds correspondent writes
from Memphis Juy % as below
Late Sou thernadyices, by way Of Grenada,
represent renew'd activity on the part of the
rebels and great ixhilaratlon among the people
at large. The General IN command of the army
Of Mississippi is, Without DOUBT, in preparation
for an aggressive movement. His army mum bers
something like fly or sixty thousand men most
OF whom are consuipts, IL derately well armed
and very poorly disciplined. Gen. Grant has
concentrated the Feuera forces at Corintn,
here he has an Amy unequaied III elective
ness, SO far as relates to discipline and the hard
experience which makes the true solder. He
has the veterans Of DUnelson and Shiloh, where
they fought, and COrlnth, wnere they dug, as
few others have fought and dug. The raw re-
cruits OF Mississippi will find them wall OF
Iron when they met.
The cargo Vi the ship Which lately run the
blockade at Charleston, with coal furnished by
u Yankee captain, was sold at public auction
at Augusta, Ga, about Il week since. 1t has
become customary with them 10 send these car
gees inland to some central point, and thus in
vlte purchasers from all over the country. The
and arms went to the government,
at good round p'ice, and the domestic goods,
being an assortment of such as are most needed
by the rebels, were sold to traders and private
individuals. The cargo is said TO have cost
$500 900 1t sold Tor over a million and halt,
netting handsome fortune to the spectators.
Prices were immense. Fine felt hats sold for
thirty-fve dollars, and fine boots for fifty dol
lars ; pair of coarse shoes bringing fifteen

below the same mark Board is a hundred

Music AND FLowERs.-Two gifts q od has
bestowed upon US that have in themselves no
guilty trait, and show an essential divineness
Music is one OF them, which seems as though
it were never born OF earth but fingers with
us from the gates OF heaven. Music, which
Breaches over the gross, or sad, or doubling
heart, to inspire it with consciousness of its
most mysterious afhnties and touches the
chords Of It's undevelopcd unsupported life
And the other gift is that OF bowers, which,
thong born Of earth, We may well believe,
if anything of earthly soil grows in the high
er realm if any Of its forms are idcntic,,
there, will live on the bank of the river Of
life Flowers, that in all our gladness, ID
all our sorrow, are not inoongruous-always
appropriate in the Church, as expressive of
its dearest and most social themes, and blend
ing their sweetness with the incense of pray
er. Appropriate in the joys of the marriage
hour, in the loneliness of the sick room, and
GROWING with prophecy the foreheads of the
dead. They give completeness to the associa-
lions OF childhood, and appropriate even by
the side of age, strangely as their freshness
contrasts with the wrinkles and the gray hairs;
Tor still they are suggestive, they are sym
bolca of the souls perpetual youth, the in
ward blossoms of immortality, the amaran-
thine crown. In their presence we feel that
when the body shall drop as withsred calyx
the soul shall 20 forth as winged seed.

Hon c. W. WILLARD, Dear SIR; FOR 'no
benefit of those wishing to send articles OF re'sh'
to :. the Boys at IlarrisOn's Landing please
allow me to say rbs, the Express Companies
and hired agents are under instructions TO re-
ceiye no freight for that destination until 'ur-
Their notice The occasion Of this order Is TIC
fact that such immense quantities OF sooos nave
recently been forwarded to the soldiers anu
which for the most part remain nncailed ior-
tina. 1t has become impossible to provide storage
for. It is stated that the bank OF the james
River is piled with it for mile in extent.
Should those who have shipped for Harrison
Landing, learn that their consignment' had not
been received, they will find in this statement
a reason for the delay.
Yours very truly,

EDITORIAL MISUNDERSTANDING people
think that a Journal should reflect all the va
rious opinions he'd by its readers. In fact
if we are not mistaken, the experiment was
tried in Pennsylvania, within the past ten
years, by the publishers OF paper in the
interior of the Safe, of having two editors,
one Of which belonged to exactly the opposite
school of thinking to the other, and each set
forth his own peculiar views. Which got
the most of it VIC never heard, but We per-
sumo both did, for we feel quite confident
that while the editors were going in the
subscribers were going out and probably the
paper soon followed suit and went out too
Readers love to see libcraity and generosity
of feeling, but they always prefer that editor
who sets forth his opinion with frank and
consistent direcmess, and is NEITHER so doubt
full Of his own positions or so intolerant with
regard to them, as to allow no correspondent
or writer in his columns, who holds different
views. There are two classes, one composed
Of those editors who allow the expression OF
no opinions that differ from their own the
! other comprises those readers who feel that
everybody else has right TO- speak out
save the editor. The Irish peader was new
!, err more laughably honest. than when he
, thought the decision of the inexorable judg,
made no allowance for an honest difference
OF opinion Every court must have fna
authority so must every newspaper.
