LOCAL NEWS.

DIR. SUNDERLAND ON NATIONAL SIss.-Ths
announcement made by Rev. DIR Sunderland
pointed for a fast yesterday preach sermon.
which it was understood would be somewhat
pelliical, had the effect of bringing out q very
t large ga gatnsrlng, sa male & and female: Long be-
was crowded, and il was found necessary to
put seats in the aIsles, while many of the con-
gregation occupied seats on the steps of the
pulpit, and large numbers were standing all
about the church.
DIR. S. occupied an hour and a halt in the de.
livery OF his sermon, and it was admitted by
all to be a splendid effort in composition and
delivery. After detailing what he considered
the duty Of the people and setting forth the
manner in whic h the day should be observed
TO make it acceptable TO God, he referred to
some of the great sins OF which ii was the duty
of the nation to repent in sackcloth and ashes
Among these sins We're practical rejection of
the Gospel Of Christ by SO large a mass of the
people, idolatry, neglect Of Gods ordinances,
violations of the Sabbath and profanity, cor
ruption Of manners and morals, and cruelty
and oppression towards the Indians and Afri-
cans. DR.. Sunderland's reference to the slave
ry question and the evils and wrongs Of hu-
man honda ge was listened TO with marked at.
tention, and the feeling OF the audience occa.
sionally manifested itself In warm applause
He believed Slavery was the apple Of discord
which had brought out all this bitterness and
woe. He did not believe any one portion Of the
people were alone to blame for cruelty to this
unfortunate race, and the injustice practised
upoA inc ANeSlO, was OF lLSeI1 10 SINK
the whole nation into the nethermost pit Of per.
dltion. He believed that the time had come,
when nothing short Of just such war as we
are now engaged in, would open the eyes ofthe
people He believed it was the design of GOD,
that African Slavery should pass away, and
Slavery was doomed when the first gun was
fired at Anderson and his bra We band. within
the walls Of Sumter. (Applause Mr.. Sunder-
land, however, appealed to the audience not to
thus interrupt him. There were those who
accused him, (the speaker,) of being an aboli.
tonist and who alleged that he departed from
the path Of Clerical duty.
He defined his position, which was that he
was In favor of the abolition of all sins, great
and small, and in that acceptation he was an
abolitionist. He was particularly severe upon
rebel sympathizers who remain in the North
under the protection Of q government they
affect TO despise, and thought they should be
sent South whore they belong In conclusion,
he said this sermon would probably be denom-
mated political one; and he argued to show
that because man was in the pulpit, it should
not deter him from doing his duty for the
country in times like the present
DR.. Sunderland's remarks did not create anv
of the excitem ent some had anticipated, from
the nature Of his announcement on last Sum
day.

THE JCNR ELECTInN


1t is our duty 70 caution those who have
recently become citizens of w ashington, against
the impudent efforts of parties who are using the
gang of petty Office holders, small contract
mongers, aspirants for municipal offices they
are unfit to fill and rowdies who now follow
the pursuit of ropers-in of inebriated soldiers
VINO ara suspected of having money in their
pockets, that composed a considerable portion
OF those who attem pied by violence on Wednes-
day night to prevent the Unconditional Union
citizens OF the various wards of Washington
from electing delegates to their city convention,
10 create the impression that the Administration
sympathises with their rowdy assaults in some
OF the meetings upon popular rights, or regard
tnem as It's exponents in our local affairs. On
the contrary, they are as we'll known to the Ad-
minlstratlon as to the old residents of Wash
ington, as persons bent on feathering their own
ihoiFioual nests by the use of any possible
means. Inc Administration, the public may
rely on 1t, realizes and appreciates at its true
'aiue no. only the reprehe nsible mode by which
these parties seek to assume to control the Sc
lection OF candidates to be voted for bv the
Unconditional Union men in the approaeh.
ing election, but also the unfiinchiur LOYALTY
OF the present incumbents in the CITY govern.
ment the reelection Of whom the caba are
surviving to defeat.
From the commencement of the war to this
hour the present city government, the Admin.
istratlon knows well, have given its war mol.
icy the heartiest and most unfin hing support
thus Strengthening Its hands In the work of
suppressing the rebellion In manner that has
at all times elected its warmest commenda-
tions. We repeat, those new residents here
who are sought to be deceived by the rowdy
tricks and violence Of this cabal, should place
no faith whatever in their impudent assump.
tion to identity the~ Administration with
their efforts to reduce its supporters in our
midst to the number Of their own handful, af.
ter the present city government by its unfiinch.
ing support of the Administration throuebeut
Its late une1ampled trials, has succeeded in
bringing the popular sentiment of the Federal
Metropolis so fairly and squarely up to the
work OF sustaining It's efforts, one and all, to
overcome the rebellion.

The whole number ofarrlvals by canal during
the month of April were 80; Of which 2Iq were
loaded with coal.
Total amount OF revenue received for tolls
water and mole rents, at the Georgetown Off o.
in April, was about $1,000, about one half the
usual revenue.
This immense loss to the canal company is
attributed to he scarcity of boats and the closing
OF tne Aie&andria canal, great many boats
having been destroyed by the two armies, and
others taken for Government use. There arr
however, enough building to supply the d.
mand until the company can provide an outlet
into the Potomac, or again secure the uaviSn
tlon OF the Aiexandrla canal, the aqueduct Of
which is now used for a military bridge.
There have been no arrivals by cana si.cs
my last, but information received at the cal
