prlcs; served short time; was put upon
PICKET duty, which he found rather monot.

A few days of rain would have been q spe-
cific. A large quantity Of meet. salt and
fish was left All the tents were LEFT, but
no horses or wagons. ~ k
Z Reports concur that the rebels consist Of
q mob Of about 100000 men, III fed, dirty
and disheartened. The road from Yorktown
to Hampton, on which they were encamped
was guarded by Fort Magruder, mounting a
large number Of gnds, part Of which are ia
ken away land part spiked, and some Of their
works were wellfaid out, others were wretch
ed contriyances. The work upon them was
finished on Friday night, and the slaves sent
to the rear under guard. The rebels have
nothing behind on which they can make a
stand. Last night their camp fires all along
were the same as usual. The dense wood
along the peninsula enabled them to leave
without being seen by the balloon
The large gins of the rebels are mostly
columbiads. taken from the Norfolk Navy
Yard. Some Of them have been recently
mounted. The -------, although Of the
toughest character, were very formidable,
being surrounded by deep gorges almost i'm
passable.

polt,icsl Preaching.

Our neighbor is moved at sundry times
and in diver ways to exercise its gift ir this
line.1 Two weeks ago it gave its readeas a
discourse from one Of its fellow-laborers in
the work. following it with such remarks OF
its own as seemed to beflt the OCCASION
Emboldened by this effort, last week it
launched forth ints general exposition Of
early christianity under the head Of Political
Churches, very wisely refraining from an.
nouncing its text. until It had reached the
conclusion Of its argument. ~
Our neighbur says, ''the early fathers of
the church cheerfully rendered obedience to
all the requirements made Of them by the
civil law" It's readers, who also read the
Bible, will perhaps remember that these
early fathers were strictly forbidden, to teach
in the name of their master at all, by the
/. civil authorities and their prompt response
was, 1--WE ought to obey God rather than
men," 70 this benign maxim we are in
debted for the most powerful antidote to ty-
ranny and oppression, and the firmest foun-
. . Al ~. - l.
dation for civil liberty that thesworld has
ever seen. Our neighbor seems most sweet
" unconscious that in this maxim alone. it
can find its own defence, for reaching that
slaveholding is justified by the Bible, ina
State whose civil law has ever prohibited il
much more effectuaily than It has been able
to prohibit, even murder itself 9'N Fl Z
Advocates Of slavery in eighteen States
of the Union and in its capitol are all from
the necessity Of their position, strictly high
er law men. They differ, however, from
some of their brethren At the south, in the
fact that they do not openly profess their
readiness to die in the last ditch in defense
of their principles. I'VE commend thei1
prudence F4a t9 ,,os =
But our neighbor has fallen into an error moi
Uncommon with beginners. He undertake.
to tel MS what the early fathers did not do
An experienced Apostle says that, if tn
things which were done were written, every
one, the world itself could not contain tn.
books that should be written. II our neigh
Dor is going to tell us also the things which
were not done, where, will he find room fol
