LETTEBS BY THE SEA.
Cape Island, August 6, 1864.
Farewell for a season to the Maples 1
Not enough of healing influence fails
from your.pleasant, musical shadow for.
one worn with the cares and burdens
of an editor’s life in these trying times.
A balmier influence, a stronger stimulus,
more medicinal, more reviving is needed;
and whither shall we turn for relief but
to that ample and potent refuge for the
overtasked and ailing, for the hrain
we*ry and the heat-worn, which God
has provided in the neighboring ocean?
O thou deep treasure-house of health
and vigourf thou birthplace of the cool
and quickening breezes, thou “ broad
belt of the world”—with thy “ glows
and glories,” thy indescribable endless
Changes, thy vastness and thy mystery,
thy majestic chant to the shore, ‘the
voice of the great Creator’ continually
sounding in our charmed ears, thou'art
a refreshment and a joy forever! The
heat of the dog-star cannot tame thee to
stillness and lay thy airs into breathless,
silence. Thy great heart, linked to
celestial movements, throhs with a vast
er life than this, and thou bearest
greater and more enduring than
earthly gifts from the Creator to his
pining creatures. Away then to the
surf; drink the balm-inspired breeze;
inhale with every breath the invigorat
ing sea-salts that have been manipulated
in the great laboratory of nature; rush
to meet
The league-long roller thundering cm the boach
as eagerly as if to embrace a long absent
friend.
Groat as was the blessing and com
fort of neighboring sea-sbores in the
times of stage and steamboat merely,
it is much enhanced by the progress of
railroad communication -with the water
ing-places. Cape Island is worth double,
in a hygienic point of view, to our citi
zens, since the West Jersey and con
nected railroads have fully reached the
place. The length and fatigue of the
journey are reduced one-half, and the
frequency of the trips—three a day
make it comparatively easy for business
men to spend part, if not the whole of
each week with their families, ready at
a telegraphic summons to move rapidly
in either direction as interest or plea
sure may require. Luxurious cars are
provided on the route, and scarcely four
hours elapse from the time of leaving
the foot of Walnut street, until we reach
by three railroads, yet without change
of cars, the handsome new station-house
of the Cape May and Millville Railroad,
five minutes walk from the edge of the
town. It is partly owing to these fa
cilities, that the Island is more thronged
this season than for years past. It is
computed that there are no less than
seven thousand visitors in the place.
Hotels and cottages are crammed to
overflowing, yet hundreds are still com
ing daily by rail, and doubtless a goodly
number every other day by the boat.
Prices range from $l2 to $25 per week,
just double the usual charges. Dress
and gayety aro very much as usual, no
more, no less than in former times.
Mere pleasure-seekers are just as nu
merous doubtless—the atmosphere, on
the whole, much as if our nation were
in peace and prosperity. Certainly if
the war has told upon the national abil
ity or hopes or spirits generally, this is
not the place to see it. Amid the gay
throng of bathers, riders and promena
ders, one soon comes to doubt whether
anything Berious is truly the matter
with us. And are we wholly to find
fault with this unconquerable elasticity,
and to brand it as heaven-defying levity
and pour but lamentations upon it, as
proof of the ripeness of our people for
the destroying hand of the Almighty?
To some extent wo should doubtless be
justified in so treating it; yet not alto
gether. Many Christian people among
these seemingly gay visitors, and many
loyal and true men and women, with
all their disappointment at temporary
reverses, have such an abiding faith in
their cause as that of justice and of God,
that they can bo cheerful and enjoy
this enjoyable place. -

The truth seems to be, that the nation
is settling itself down to the stern work
now on its hands. Our business at pre
sent, and for some considerable time to
come, perhaps, is war . It is a terrible
business; it involves great calamities;
it brings desolation in its track; it
would seem to plunge one side at least
into the barbarities of an unenlightened
age; its issue, though including the
very existence, of our country, the per
petuity of Republican govemmentin the
world, and-very peculiarly the welfare
of four millions of slaves, seems 'some
times placed in jeopardy. No man can
with certainty predict the end. But
God in his providence has laid it, with
all its vicissitudes and burdens, upon ns,
and we are squaring our shoulders and
adapting onr plans to the business.
Shall we therefore expel all enjoyment
and recreation from our national exis
tence? Shall we dress our whole land
in mourning and make music and laugh
ter a sin ? This, at any rate, is not the
rule in our armies, and would not be
suffered by military authorities to be in
culcated upon our soldiers. We do not
believe a single army chaplain preaches
any such doctrine to his hearers. Nor
do we think the nation should put on
such an attitude. The very vastness,
nobleness and hopefulness of the work
in which we are engaged as champions
of social order, of republican govern
ment and of liberty to the slave, in the
greatest conflict for these principles
that the world has known, may well fill
ns with exalted feelings, and with a deep
joyfulness, inconsistent indeed with fri
volity, riotousness and mad excess of
every kind, leading often to deep
thought, to profound sympathy with
every; phase of, the changing struggle,
to prayer and penitence, hut also pro
ducing a steady-hopefulness amid mis-
fortune, and a readiness to eatch every
favorable aspect, to give a favorable in
terpretation to every uncertain indica
tion, and perfectly consistent with and
even tributary to the common joys and
recreations of men. Let secessionists
and traitors scowl and denounce these
fleasures; true men and Christians should
be cheerful while fulfilling their great,
difficult yet practicable and glorious
work. The Lord is our strength and
our song, he is become our salvation.
The voice of rejoicing is heard in the
tabernacles of the righteous.
POPISH PERYERTS AND ROMISH
UNITY.
Most of us remember the flourish of
Roman Catholic trumpets over the so
called conversion of Orestes A. Brown
sou. We who knew him, had only this
to say of the bargain, that if they were
satisfied, we were. The kind of capital
which he has brought into their trading
stock, unity, may be' estimated by tak
ing up almost any current number of
their cis-Atlantic papers. For example
the Yery Rev. Dr. Moriarty writes as
follows in “ The Universe,” of ! this city,
of July 23 ;
This wretched Brownson has been
for a considerable time endeavoring in
private, -by his slanderous talk, to do
more harm than he has yet attempted
in public. It is true that, like the scor
pion, he is stinging himself, but as there
is something of the cobra snake in him,
it is well to wrench out his fang. I will,
when more at leisure, give a twist to the
animal; in fhe meantime, I send you a
blow from the Dublin Review, which I
beg you will apply with the potency of
the Universe, and it will serve to lay
out Sir Towser ior further operations.
Print the entire article, If you can.”
In an editorial of the same number,'
The Universe, “the oldest Catholic pa
per in the United States,” gives the
following additional touches to the por
trait, at the close of an article of more
than two columns, which, to say the
least, is rather uncomplimentary. We
may remark by the way, that Brown
son’s offence this time consists in beard
ing the Pope on the great question on
which he is at issue with the Christian
wdrld—-civil liberty. The Universe ex
claims :
“ What now is to he thought of Dr.
Brownson? He is at once a Yoltaire
and a Garibaldi. The arch-infidel never
surpassed him in irreligious abuse of
the Papacy. The arch-revolutionist
never suggested worse conduct than he
has in regard to Rome. And this re
viewer calls himself a Catholie, —an obe
dient son of the Church! It is false.
He is no Catholic. He is no son of the
Church. The Church disclaims him.
He is a vain, audacious, irreligious, .ma
lignant libeller and revolutionist against
God’s Church, and nothing else. There

is his review to prove. Let all Catho
lics repudiate him. -He is true to noth
ing hut tortuousness. To patronize his
“ Review” is to uphold the worst defama
tion and invasion ever let loose against
the Church.”
In the personal aspects of the pase, we
have simply a fresh illustration of what
we long since found to be the general
fact, that perversions never add any
strength to the cause of the Papacy.
In onr own country, we have seen no
single exception to this fact. These
perversions, just at the time of their oc
currence, answer a temporary purpose.
They serve for a shout. The papers
and altars are jubilant, and the people
are told that the days of heresy are soon
to be numbered.
But, beyond this, no Anglo-American
pervert, has proved of any service to
Rome.- When his quality came to be
examined, he was found to he either use
less lumber, or, as in the case before us,
an unmitigated pest. A man like
Brownson, who, in the matter of de
nominationalism, has pretty much box
ed the compass, and everywhere proved,
himself unbearable, could not he expect
ed to change his restlessness and spirit
of domination into the abject servility
which is an essential qualification for
good service in a church where one
alone is to think, while all the others
unquestioning perform.
As indicative of the vaunted unity of
Rome, this controversy was not needed
to show what that claim is worth. The
Papacy from its earliest records, has
reeled from side to side" under the alter
nate sway of the fiercest factions which
have ever embittered the peace of a
church. Between rival and often
hostile societies and orders, strifes in
its internal policy which the secular
arm has more than once been invoked
to quell, and disputes like the present
respecting the character and extent of
the Papal prerogative, there has beeru
no century, from the days of Gregory
down, in which it has not been the
scene of violent discords—sometimes
the most violent of the age in which
they occurred. It is true that the most
delectable holocaust of the auto-da-fe has
been reserved as a special compliment
for heretics; hut intolerance of spirit
has been quite as lavish where no taint
of heresy lay.
AMERICAN BOARD—A SUGGESTION.
“ A friend of the Board,” through the
Boston Recorder, suggests that, in view
of the embarrassments into which the
condition of the currency is likely to
throw the Board, a large portion of
the usual expenses of attending the
annual meeting be this year diverted to
the immediate relief of the Treasury.
“ Would it not,” says the writer “be
well fqr those who contemplate attending
the coming annual meeting, to forego
that pleasure, and send the money which
they would spend in the journey, back
and forth, to the treasury of the Board?
Let those who would be inclined to
extend their hospitality to the attend
ants on the meeting, contribute the ex
penses of their hospitality, also, to the
treasury of the Board. There can he
no doubt, many a Christian delights in
being hospitable on such occasions, yet
it costs him something. Would he not
equally delight to give that something,
be it great or small, directly to the
Lord’s Treasury ? Let the Board meet
and do its business ; and let the would
be-spectators stay at home, and send
their would-be-expenses to the Treasur
er ; and it will do the cause more good
than their presence. I would be very
much pleased to attend the meeting, hut
it would cost me at least forty dollars.
Now, if I can send this to the Board, it
will accomplish infinitely more good
than I could possibly do by looking at
them. Will not some act on this sug
gestion?”
Snubbed. —The would-be negotiator
is on a rampage for notoriety. As the
following will take pretty much the
rounds of the papers, he is likely
enough to get it. Wbsubmit it as a
decidedly “ safe conduct ” to out-of-doors.

THE ARMY AS A FIELD FOR BELI-
GIOUS EFFORTS.
The question whether the country could
now spare the Christian Commission, has
ceased to be ope of- debate. Its temporal
relief aspects would alone be sufficient to
settle it. The conception of distributing
help on so magnificent a scale, by the im
mediate hand of the Commission itself,
malting it, through its delegates, personally
cognizant of each individual case of need,
and bringing itself into personal contact
with each sufferer, is perhaps the grandest
which human-benevolence ever invoked.
We believe the country is now well awak
ened to appreciate this feature in the work
of the Commission. We only wish that the
same amount of interest might follow its
higher labors for the salvation of souls in the
army. We wish that a deep and active sym
pathy m this part of its work, were univer
sal among our people; we expect it from
Christian people.
For whom is it asked ? For men whose
calling exposes them to the highest spiritual
danger. With all the necessity which has
driven us into war; with all the justifying
elements which we rightly attach to our side
of the contest, and with all the loftiness of
sentiment which inspires our armies, still it
is impossible to ignore thc fact that it is war,
and that the moral tendencies of war are
always had—superlatively bad. Nowhere else
is human nature so loosened from almost all
outward virtuous restraints, as in camp-life;
no passions towards enemies are so hellish
as those which war naturally inspires ; and
no employments are in themselves so adapted
to barbarise our natures, and turn our hu
manities into Satanism, as the butcheries of
war, and the exultation in them—an exul
tation that is always high in proportion to
the amount of slaughter. If, as in the present
case, we accept war as an awful neceesity,
there is no higher Christian duty of the
hour, than to surround the men whom we
thrust into these soul-perils with every pos
sible protecting influence against these cor
rupting tendencies of war.
That such would be the moral exposures
of our soldiers, we might have known, either
.from the nature, or from all the past histo
■ But sad to say, after three
years experience of our- own, the proof is
mofe-tangible in the seen results before us.
We are proud to say that the world never
witnessed the gathering of an army of more
magnificent personal qualities than that
which has sprung to the defense of our go
vernment. But with all our honest glorying
in tbeif high standing as men, their intelli
gence, their patriotism, and their self-conse
cration to the country, the fact everywhere
stares us in the face, that among sinners in
the army,’ the downward course has been
awfully rapid. They learn the worst of hu
man vices, and they learn them fast.
We are glad to say that many bright spots
rest upon this picture. The success which
has attended religious efforts among our sol
diers has been wonderfully great. Revivals
and conversions have rolled up their records
of what has been,as the earnest of athousand
fold more that may yet be, and certainly will
be If- the church has the faith and heart for
effort ha such a crisis as the present.
- It isthe cases which havqnot been reached
by.thgse holy counteracting agencies, which
demonstrate the corrupting influence of war
upofy the spiritual nature, the morals, and
all |hG gentle amenities of life. Travel in
our (jars when they are crowded with fur
loughed soldiers, or re-enlisted veterans
with'their pocketsfilled with bounty-money;
put up at the hotels where they are staying,
or attempt to sleep where along the street
night is made hideous with their carousals;
listen, to the language used, aud hear scorn
expressed toward all that is dear to the
Christian heart, and you cannot resist the
belief that so many could not have carried
to the war such wickedness of heart as they
have; brought away. More than this, you
cannon but be impressed with this alterna
tive,, that, under God, we must make haste
to roll down upon them a tide of salvation, ;
or they will soon roll back upon us, an over- ■
wheljtning spiritual desolation.
The call for such effort as works directly
to the eternal salvation of the soldier, is very
loud in view of his incessant exposure to sud
den death. He knows this well enough, but
if he is out of Christ and careless in sin, he
obtains calmness under this exposure, by
cultivating a recklessness of death. The
Christian view of the tenure by which the
unconverted soldier holds his life, is a terri
ble one, A column marching into the blaze

or even probability that some may fall, but
under,the certainty that more or less of them
will, a few moments, go into the presence
of their final Judge. Where, in all the
world;!.is the call for swift, faithful and abun
dant Christian labor -so imperative, as for
men qho so emphatically walk where there
is but a step between them and death, and
many of whom have sought no other prepa
ration for it, but that of carelessness respect
ing the issue ?
There is one aspect to the spiritual perils
of our soldiers, which, in some respects, is
the gravest of all. We can but glance at it,
but we challenge for it the very earnest
thought of evangelical Christians. We refer
to the false estimate which, ‘fn times of high
Genesee E-vang-elist, No. 951.
The Treasurer’s acknowledgement of
receipts in our present number, speaks
nobly. We are not at this moment
aware of the amount yet wanting to fill
up the quota specified by the Assembly,
$50,000,00, but at least two thirds of it
must be already secured. For the re
mainder, the Committee must look to
the churches and people who have not
yet contributed; and with the examples
of punctuality before them, they ought
soon to respond. It must be they will do
it. The enterprise will then have a
comfortable working capital, and its
usefulness, already well felt, will be
greatly enlarged.
patriotic feeling, is apt to be placed UD on
their true perils. 1
There is no disguising the fact that, wheth
er in a defined or undefined shape, the no
tion is widely prevalent that patriotism is
good religion for the soldier, and that in
dying for his country, he dies a sanctified
death. The doctrine has a most amiable
attire, and we can easily think how strongly
it appeals to the sensibilities of people, whpn
they think of those who have died bravely
for their country, but who lived without any
positive Christian character. Still it is a
perfect Mahomedanism, and false from every
Christian point of view. The soldier going to
war, changes none of his relations to the law
of Cod, or to the gospel of Christ. For the
soldier and the civilian, there is the same one
law of religion for the life and preparation
for death. There is nothing in the soldierly
consecration to make good the same heart
which in a civilian would be bad; there is
nothing in a shell from a rebel fort to give
a claim upon heaven to the departing spirit
which, had it taken its flight from a dying
chamber at home, would have gone only to
meet God’s judgment of eternal wTath.
The soldier’s delusion that, if he dies in
battle, God will accept his devotion to the
country .as good religion, must be broken up
before he will come to Christ for true fitness
for death. And here at home we must al
learn to put the right estimate upon his
spiritual responsibilities and perils, or we
shall not rightly bear him in prayer before
God, or do what the indications of provi
dence at this moment so solemnly require of
us for his soul’s salvation. So far as effort
has been made, success has been wonderfully
great. But the field widens; the agencies
of sin are thickening in number, and be
coming more desperate in character ; battles
are more anymore destructive of life; and
the whole history of what has been done,
and the whole view of the work now needed,
tells that there is no time to loose. Men for
whom we may labor to-day, will be in eter
nity to-morrow. B. B. H.
MISSIONARY HOUSE, BOSTON,
To the Editor or the American
Presbyterian — Dear Sir: Ab there is
much anxiety, on the part of the friends
of the A. B. C. F. M., to receive the
latest information in regard to its finan
cial prospects, will yon have the good
ness to say, that the receipts for July
have exceeded $61,000, hut that $115,000
will be needed within the present month,
if the year is to close without a serious
deficiency. This may seem to many a
very formidable amount; but never has
there been such a “ willing mind” among
the churches as there is now. Within
a few days the treasurer has received
$5OOO from Providence, and $5OOO from
Hartford. Persons of large means and
small means, in different parts of the
country, seem to be alike desirous of
doing what they can. It is quite clear,
therefore, that the sum of $115,000 can
be secured prior to September 1. In
view of the exceeding desirableness of
an unembarrassed treasury, will not the
patrons of the Board see that it is
received? Yery respectfully yours,
S. B. Treat, - Home Secretary.
DR. SUNDERLAND’S DEPARTURE’
Dr. Sunderland left Washington on
Tuesday morning, and is' followed with
the gratitude and blessings of many.
We all regret the necessity which com
pels his leaving Washington for a sea
son. I send you some extracts from his
sermon on the Sabbath. It was a most
eloquent and impressive discourse. On
Monday night was held a farewell meet
ing in the church, largely attended by
the clergy of the city and the members
of the various churches.
At this meeting the members of the
First Presbyterian Church presented to
their pastor a purse of five hundred dol
lars. The addresses from different pas
tors and ministers of the city were of a
character to greatly cheer and comfort
the Dr. in the sorrow of separation.

Revival at Red Wing, Min.—A
correspondent forwards us, through the
St. Paul Press, the following account of
the labors of Rev. E. P. Hammond, at
the place mentioned. The letter is to
the Press, under date of July 16:
Rev. E. P. Hammond, the Evangelist.—
Mr. Hammond has just spent a week in
our place, holding children’s meetings
every morning, and preaching every
night. He came not to labor, but to
recreate, being worn out with his un
ceasing labors for many months. Yet
he could not resist, when there seemed
such readiness and desire on every hand
to listen to his words and yield to the
claims of the Gospel he presented. He
therefore held Union meetings twice
and great good has been done.
Our town has been aroused. Backsli
ders have been reclaimed, the careless
and scornful awakened and convicted,
and many dear children brought to the
Savior. The good work, we trust, has
only begun. Christians have been
stirred np to pray and labor, and this is
always followed by glorious results.
TwO open air meetings have been held,
and a large nnmber collected at the
corners of our two principal streets to
listen to earnest words for Christ. Some
there heard truths that were a strange
sound to their ears.
More meetings are to be held on the
same spot, in the very midst of “ Satan’s
seat,” that those who neglect the Sab
bath and never go to God’s House, may
hear of the way of salvation.
Mr. Hammond expects to be in St.
Paul next week, and will hold a few
meetings if the door seems open. Let
Christians rally around him, and the
same glorious results that have attended
his labors elsewhere will be witnessed in
St. Paul.
Peter preached one sermon, and three
thousand were converted to God. The
same God now reigns and invites rebel
sinners to return to Him. May they
return by thousands in St. Paul. Q.
Ordination.— The Presbytery of
Trumbull, at a regular meeting held in
Warren, Ohio, Wednesday, May 4th,
after a unanimously sustained examina
tion, ordained Rev. Henry R. Hoising
ton, Jr., to the work of -the ministry as
an Evangelist. The sermon on the
occasion was by the Rev. Theron H.
Hawks, of Cleveland. Brother Hoising
ton’s address is Warren, Ohio.
Installation.- —The above Presbytery
adjourned to meet the next day at New
ton Palls, where it installed Rev. Au
gustus Cone pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in Newton Palls, Ohio. The
sermon on the occasion was by Presi
dent Hitchcock, of Western Reserve
College. Rev. JED. B. Miner,of Barahoo,
Wis., having been dismissed from his
pastoral charge in that place, at the
united'request of himself and the Church,
has accepted an invitation to labor with
the Presbyterian Church (N. S.) of
Mineral Point, Wis., a “Convention
Church.”— Evangelist.
August 6,1864.
LIVING PAITH AND ITS PRACTICAL
The extract below, from the address
of a prominent English pastor, is very
impressive and suggestive to all Christ
ian people. Is not our Christianity
becoming fatally professional merely?
“To build up a church,” seems often to
mean, securing a goodly sanctuaxy, out
of debt, a fair attendance and general
peace in the parish. The words of the
eloquent divine across the ocean should
be heard in all the churches .-
“ At the late meeting of the English
Baptist Union in London, Rev. Baptist
W. Noel made a searching appeal on the
state of the churches, in which he in
sisted that they and their ministers
wei*e responsible for this small increase,
and among other things he said, ‘Do
you and I ever weep"over sinners ? Are
we as earnest for them as we ought to
be ? Do you not think that if we give
ourselves up to this sort of work we
ought to pray and preach with a great
deal of hope? lam quite conscious,
not only of a defect as to the amount of
labor, but also of a defect in this matter
of hoping and believing in God.’ ”
