The oaptured Tobacco.

The telegraph has given us the details
of q successful expedition by our forces up
the Rsppahannock to Fredericksburg, and
the capture of lsrgs amount of tobacco
which had accumulated there for contra.
band shipment into our lines. The Rich
mond Examiner of March 10th gives the
Southern view of the subject as follows =
The Government does not communicate
much news to the public of late days, and
this is sil right where the publication of
such news would give information to tbe
enemy, either about our own movements
aud preparations or shout whet is Detailing
their own troops, who happen to be in suc6
position thst the first intelligence of them
is expected in the North through the
Richmond newspapers. But such reasons s
for retieenee do not exist in the case of
the.e stories Of tobacco captured the other
day near Fredericksburg. The enemy
knew all about that as soon as we. or
sooner, and there is no conceivable reason
for observing silence on the subject, save
the natural apprehension of ssgscious Gov
ernment that the transaction NAV draw
down censure upon it or some of It's officers.
Phe Yankees are very eager to get Dos
session of our tobacco. Next 70 cotton
there is nothing of ours which they
coVet 50 much, and as they cannot come
and seizs the tobacco stored at Petersburg
and Richmond, they seem to have bethought
them Of another plan. A Yankee named
Singleton had twice asked for a pass to
come within our lines, and it had been
twice granted. In vain some wary Con-
federate protested against this, represent
ing that the Yankee could have no honest
business here; but we have government
that despises public clamor. This Mr..
Singleton might be peace commissioner
he might be snesking through our lines to
bring US an offer of recognizing our inde-
pendence, or on some gracious mission of
that sort SO he was permitted to come
along. Soon It became known that he was
only on q mission to procure tobacco, at
certain rates sgreed upon. Tobacco, &C.
cordingly, was sent forward by the Fred
erlcksburg road, two hundred thousand
pounds Of it, or thereabouts, and was
waiting at HamiIton's Crossing, under
charge of Confederate agents, until the ex-
change could be effected. But now, by
some chance, some extremely fortuitous
coincidence, the store Of precious tobacco
had scarcely arrived there and WAS still
in Confederate hands, when behold large
force of Yankees happened to appear In
the same place, having came in steamers
up the RappAhannoek, and they seized the
whole Of the tobacco, and either carried it
of, or burned it. And now where is the
tobacco? We must give fall credit to the
ingenious nstion which contrved and
planned this little scheme. It is q perfect
specimen of the species Of transaction call
ed Yankee trick which means very
clever sWindle. Is our sRgscious govern
ment satisfied YETI Has it seen eaough
Of the consequence Of admitting pubic
enemies within our lines to look after pri-
vste affairs Who is the next Yankee
that will ask for pass2

Health.
The sbominsble idea that ministers of
the Gospel should confne themselves, in
preaching, to the exposition of metsphysi-
csldogmss, the denunciation of sin in the
abstract, and the praise of sort of sub
lined righteousness that doesn't bother it
self about the practical affairs of daily life
is, we trust, entirely exploded. This idea
lsy ct the root of the denuncistions SO
iercely and freely lsvished upon political
preachers" It has done Infinite mischief
by preventing the utteranee everywhere of
full and free and living Gospel, which
should move men to do righteously in all
their walks of liIe-in discharging the du-
ties of the citizen Sc well as of the church.
man.
We have happy illustration of the
growth and improvement of public senti-
ment on this subject, in the fact that on
Sunday last many of the ministers of the
Gospel in the city of New York, by pre-
vious agreement, delivered sermons on the
sanitary condition of their city and the ne
cesity of reform. The unhealthiness of
the city, the neglect of duty on the part of
officials, and the terrible condition of the
poor of New York, which have recently
called forth the comments of the press, ex-
cited the eloqusncs of the pulpit. The
Times and Herald report the sermons of
the Reverend Doctors J. P. Thompson,
Vermilyes, McClintock and E. D. Smith.
Next Sunday the theme will again be ia
ken up, in other churches, and it is hoped
that the effort of She pulpit may result in
arousing the citizens of New York to
efficient action on this most important sub
joct. 5r e
