The sermon recently delivered in Hartford
for the Sanitary Commission by Bishop Clark,
Of Rhode Island, contained this eloquent clos
ing passage:
''Foutteen years ago last July Istood In the
capitol at Washington, and in the presence of
those grent statesmen whose names have now
become historical, I preached the funeral ser
mon Of the President of the United States.
:. The simple words upon which the discourse
was based were these: "Sllall 1t be acc ording
to thy mind:' unconsciously, the language
that was uttered In that presence has proved
to have been prophetical. Events have not
been according to our mind. 1t may be we'll
that 1t is so.
God moves in mysterious way
,"To-da5 may sec the volcano vomiting
fire and smoke, and the river Of Iiouid flame
run down its ragged side, burying the plain
that lies beneath. Centuries hence look
upon that plain, and 1t Is green with richest
verdure; the vine and the olive nuke it re-
joice beautiful flowers blossom around the
cottages; merry voices Of children resound
there; happy and thriving people draw
their sustenauce from that luxurious soil
and this soil is the debris Of that hot river Of

be the peace of thy children. No weapon

British Impudence In American Wa

Correspondence OF INC n. l. Hefalu.J
FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. Is, 1861
A collision between American and British
sailors occurred last evening at Norfolk,
which at one time threatened to assume ra-
thcr tctious proportions. It appears that the
sailors attached to her Britannf2 Majesty's
corvette BuzzaEd, lying at tanchor OF Norfolk,
embrace every opportunity to taunt and in
frigate Sabine, Lieut.. Commander Il. B. Low
~. Our men have been very forbearing, until
yesterday, whtn the crew Of one of the Eng
lishman's launches, on pulling past the Sabine,
hooted and yelled at our sailors, ns also the
flag. This Was more than Yankee flesh and
blood could stand, and the Sabine boys de-
termined to ayenge the insult BY severe
means. Aware thai the crew would be ashore
last evening TO attend the theater, q number
Of the United States frigate's crew sought
and obtained leave to 60 also. Before the
performance commenced several stragglers Of
!he be1lige1ents met ard had regular pitched
battle. a little sergeant Of marines, q bur1y
fellow, was armed with q cutlass, but, not
withstanding his having weapon, received q
very severe d1nbbing.
In the lobby Of the theater another alterca-
ton occurred, which Mr. Glenn quieteI; but
!he storm broke out atresh, until finally Brig.
Gen. Joseph D. Car, at present in Norfolk, as
one Of the commission with Gen. Shep1ey, to
investigate the facts concerning the sinking
Of the Florida, sent for heavy force Of the
Provost Guard. A company Of soldiers, with
fixed bayonets, soon after arrived in front Of
the theater, and restored quiet. 4 number
Of the sailors we're accommodated. with quar-
ters in the guard house.
The officers and sailors attached to the
Ruzzard have steadily made it q practice to
insult our men and Americana generally.
The former associate most closely with the
foremost rebel sympathizers, and make them
selves Us obnoxious rs possible. Our officers
deserve a great deal Of credit for their for
hearance in not chastising these bullying
Englfshmen into some dccency. Even the
greasy middies initiate the example Of their
supcriors, and speak Of Americans with con:
tempt. AS a sample Of English impudence,
will merely state that every boat pulling past
the Buzzard during the night is hailed by their
sentries whether near the vessel or not. 1t is
high time that something was done by our
authorities to teach these inpudent johnny

reserve of nearly three sections Of land. L
this point should be selected Ior navy yard

If, however, the yard should be located at
the city Of Green Bay, there might be some

the river from Green Bay, there has been con-
siderable ship building, ind vessels have been
built there for parties in Europe. There IS an
abundant supply Of ship timber In that' re-
gion, and easy to be got Mt. These things all
considered make some point on Green Bag q

There are rumors here that Fayetteville

this will probably have no influence with the
