nES"There appears to be no difficulty
in Philadelphia about procuring sub
stitutes. They are to be had at from
500 to Sl75, and rarely over $500
The fact seemst to be demonstrated that
the $500 clause Of the Conscription Act
has cllectually killed tho substitute
brokerage business, put limit to pri-
ccs, and saved poor men from the
swindling abuses to which they were
subjected under the old system. The
result of the $500 limitation is directly
opposite to that predicted by the cop
pcrheads, at least in Philadelphia, and
it will probably hold true to the coun-
try at large. 1t keeps down the price
of substitution, and makes it possible
for men of limited means who are
drafted but so situated that they can
not well enter the service, to procure
substitutes. 1t is more for the poor
mans benefit than the rich mans ad-
vantage, and the public will presently
come to understand this, in spite of
the snarling and swapping Of men who
labor chiefly to stir up sedition,-Cm.

a widespread and increasing desire
for peace among the Southern people

in a few days, great mass cor vontion,

"The Powers TINT he nnd our subjsc-
tion TO them.v A Sermon Preached In
the Ohio Eagle, at Lancaster; Ohio, ON
Thursday, August 9th, 1862, by a
Young Man. f..
Some one in the last number Of the
Ohio Eagle attempts review, as he
says, Of" such points" (of Rev c. A.
Van Anda's sermon) Gas were neccs-
sarily omitted or slightly touched by
DIR. Olds." We pass over the charge
that the sermon was published at the
request of the Abolitionists of the city,
as every friend of the Union is now
called an Abolitionist, and has been
ever since ono of the Southern masters
Of this young man, Gen. Bcauegard,
first suggested it in one of his letters.
We also pass over the charges Of "ab.
surd contradictions, a" illogical dcduc-
tions," and "bad grammar" made
against the sermon, simply stating that
when the young man grows older he
will have more respect for his supc-
rors, and will find that the sermon
contains no absurd contradictions,
illogical deductions nor bad grammar
The first point which this young
writer attempts to make il against the
text that, "the Powers that be are or
dained of God - and therefore neces-
Rarily entitled to our obedience, NJ
Christians. Against this text of Scrip
ture he arrays the Declaration of indie
pendencc, which says that "Govcrn-
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed - and that
whenever any government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the right
Of the people to alter abolish it, &c.
The young man, in thus arrayng the
Declaration Of Independence against
the Bible, was under the impression
that Mr. Van Anda held that, IN all
cases and mdey all circumstances, Chris
tians must be obedient to " the powers
that be-" when ifthc young'man had
had the mental grasp necessary to
connect two paragraphs or the capacity
to comprehend a simple ruicpith he er,

the eyoung man, in thus aIraying the

1t is the duty of every Government
to give protection to citizens Of what
ever class, color or condition, especially
those who are duly organized as sol

the treatment Of prisoners of,war as
public enemies To sell or enslave any
captured person on account of his color,
and for no ofense against the laws Of

crime against the civilization of the

retaliation upon the enemys prisoners
