and very weak lines-weak both in charac-
ter and from the paucity of men behind
them-would be to give up Richmond to

effort to take it.
On the other hand, the governor contends
with great force that the loss of Charleston

the starvation of Lees army or its with
drawal from Virginia. 1t is very perplex-
ing problem. The fall of Richmond is the
loss of Virginia, and a moral loss,
and a loss of prestige absolutely in
calculable. But to cling around
Richmond until the army has consumed the
supplies which it may draw from North Caro-
lima, and which cannot last very long
say two months-and then to retire further
south, after Charleston and Wilmington have
both been occupied by the enemy, and our
ports closed upon which we are dependent
for various things ritualiy ential-lead
and saltpetre, for example, not to speak of
stores, cloth and meaI--seems to me a
fatally feeble policy, nerVeless and purpose
less.
contend, and will urge upon the presi-
dent, whom the delegation wait upon in "a
body to- morrow, that our only hope is to
take advantage of the season and the con-
dition of the roads around Richmond, over
which artillery and trains can not move at
present, md suddenly send down from the
army force large enough to meet and de-
feat Sherman. Let Richmond run the risk
of an attack from Grant.
When Sherman is crushed, concentrate
again about Richmond in time to oppose the
united forces of Grant and Thomas (for the
latter is probably on mis- way here). But to
remain here supinely in Minter quarters
until the army has eaten its last pound of
bread and then fall back, with Graut pursu-
ing and Sherman, flushed with easy success,
advancing to meet US, appears to me the
most fatal error it is possible to commit.

RELIGIOUS AMENITIES.

1t 10 gratifying fact and one worthy
of notice that the various religious
bodles who are doing such noble work
in the cause of good morals and the
elevation OF humanity generally, are
drawing closer and closer together every
day. Aud this, since they worship the
same God, though in different forms,
seems to the secular world to be entirely
In accordance with the teachings of the
Great Master. A most notable instance
of religious liberalIty has been brought
to the attention of the world In the death
of Cardinal McClosky, of New York,
whose life of unblemishsd purity was
known, not alone to those of his own
faith, but also to the religionists OF all
denominations by whom he was sur
rounded. His death was made the sub
ject OF many dlscourses by ministers
throughout the country, and now comes
the New York Baptist Association with
most eloquent prayer for the car
dinal, and to which Archbishop Corri-
gan, who will probably be the successor
of the dead cardinal, has written letter
Of reply to the association in which he
says: This was indeed 3 gratifying sur.
prise, and most grateful one Is an indi.
cation of the respect and esteem won by
the cardinal by his gentle and ire
proachable career"
These amenities among the churches
play havoc with the scoffers and Satan
trembles at the contemplation. And al
ter all, since God Is the foundation OF the
whole structure and Christ the corner
stone, what real difference is there in
the matter of how we strive to
reach that perfection which shall en-.
title US at last to enter within the sane
titled vail, or of what matter Is it
whether We accomplish this by one
mode of worship or another so long as
the worship is directed to the true God,
of whom Paul said TO the idolators,
"HIm reveal I unto you"
In this connection we are reminded of
the great ministerial conference held in
the city of Albany thirty years ago,
when the Leading members of all de-
nominations met to discuss the tenets
which were so dear to the hearts Of each
of them. During the conference a
ferme- came in, and taking . seat by
himself, became an interested listener.
Finally, and IN perhaps q slightly
jocund spirit, the presiding elder called
upon him for an expression of his sentl-
ments as to the true road by which sal.
vatlon could be most surely attained i.
The farmer hesltated a moment, and
then came forward: "My brothers," he
said, 81 bring mY,wheat TO Albany and
stand 10 the public square TO sell 1t.
A good many people come and look Il
it, but in twenty years not one of them
has asked me what road hauled my
wheat over, but they have all asked this
question: SIS 1t good soheGts ''
