If the 31Ini<ters of the Gosigl have the right to determine, in disputed cases what ;s right or wrung, then they ought to be enlighted by a speend illumina tion To claim to declare the mind of God, without consulting God, or being advised of Gud, is the height of arrogant presumption Wo can comprehend, how a body of Christian ministers, may express an important opinion upon the immoral tendency of certain amusements, of fashions of dress, without going be yond the prerogatives of a mural and A z reli religious body of men But should they uli ale to fay that God is on the side of 00 ifis" agosust Bloomers, or hoops against close dresses, beca use the minis ters infer that the one kind of dress in volves contingencies and probabilities contrary to the ultimate purpose of the Almighty, wit would reject their asser tion with indignation Preachers have no more right to know the will of God than other people have. That no special access to the' Almighty: have no special means of learning is will. In effect they always find His will by learning their own ; and being of like passions as outset% es, they have shown themselves to beguile as fully un der the influence of the wild, inconsider ate, arrogant spirit of party, es other men are. Individual preachers haveho right, to use the pulpit to give more than human importance to their own opinions about matters, not dennitely settled in the word of God. Some preachers claim the right to decide, instruct and exhort in all 'mitten pertaining to morals. But who made them judges in causistry 7 Does God impart to ministers the wis dom necessary to decide questions ''too hard" for other men's judgements 7 The geld of moral acti, - n includes all actions. It is impossible to consider any distinct set of a man s life, as separate from mor ality, as never to be brought under the eye of ' an authorized censor morum. How a man eats, drinks or sleeps, what occupation hq pursued, whose company he keeps, whom he marries ; how much or little he spends or gives ; what he thinks, how he voles ; every conceiva ble thing of his life, may by brought un der the mep of moral teaching. Now, in many fhlitgs there is room for differ ence of opinion. There are questions to be determined as to right antr'wrong, better or worse, that educe different de cisions from different men. These are directly or indirectly questions. Shall he preach' the mind of God, against the mind of men ; making the mind o! Clod always another name for his 0,11 ? For examfle : Jutemperauce is a great vice. Its consequences aro incalculable bad. Dram drinking tends to Intemperance. The question mime, ought men to drink intoxicating drinks ? The Bible skis nothing positive upon the subject. We are left to inferences and individual oonscience. Now, it moms that th • inferences are not so obeions as to be drawn alike •by ell honest inquirers. Some think it - a duty to abstain altogeth er. Others do not. A body of clergy men taint and 11 1 .111'P:titers being in the majority, declare it a Ohl Cnarlitk at all. They undertake to speak the mind of God, and exclude from the Church all wit take intoxicating drinks, Wo say such a body w ould act presumptuously. Their assumption rould be utterly un tvisitanted. They , here no right tei put themselves in the place of God,and show themselves as God. They are poor er ring mortals like the rest of us. 7bs deduction that it. would his well for the community to adopt their opinion does not justify the ministers in usurping the prerogative of God and'giving laws to men. Much less may a preacher use his pulpit to deoidtrtfiequestiOna be nutting off his personal opinion as God's ppinion. No annex hOw.true the inan'sppinion;it is not God's ; unless he has deitinctly declared it. When the 'question of war or peace was up ; many doubted. It was a question most diffi cult to solve by human reason. But Glid did not speak. - In this as in thous. Ads of other questions he compels men to exercise the faculties he has given them. But suddenly Conference spoke, and spoke fully with the breeze. As semblice hastened to get before thogale. Bishops spread all tail and scudded. God was declared to be fur the war ; and soon 'the war was declared to be for God. His great name was the refuge for all mal efactors. It was idle to complain crf mas sacres, plunder, corruption, 4 justice, venality of statesmen, perjury of witness. ee—it was all for Ood. It was nut Sherman's bummers, but "God's angels" that devastated Georgia. As well might the Caunanites have complained of Josh ua. Once allowed to prophesy evil against rebels, the preachers assumed, as a matter of course, to find God favora ble to every. mesadre of Congress. God was for every thing they did when they did it, and opposed to every thing they undid when they undid it. God's mind followed the decisions of the Republican caucus, with absolute implicitness ; and nut only was he positively one of the party, but negatively too. He refrained from rebuking any sin accidently con nected with the reputation of the lead ers, The preachers had a plenty to say from Clod about the sins of Southern men ; but they produced no message about Conover's perjuries, nor Holt's court menials. Everybody must see that the responses of God were as abso lately those of the preacher, as when the heathern priest hid himself in a hollow image of a gad and shook and nodded its oracular head. Tho American min istry did fur Baluk whatever of blessing and cursing he wonted 'They were for mferp obsequious than Balsam. They cured the rebels from every point of view. The bull of excommunication was nut more minute and comprehensive in malediction, than the horrible impre cations they called their prayers. AV hen such men as Rev. Col. Moody, and Rev. Chaplain In,kip, and Rev. Dr. Tyng, had possession of the Divine Being and put words into the trumpet of Sinai, no wonder that screaming* of passion took the place of the thundering* of law. Ei en nuw we see by a newspaper para graph that Col. Moody, (of whose achievements some of our Kentucky readers have heard,) can find no stand ard of comparison by which to measure the work of Christ but the work of Grant. The eunquul of gin was tEis moral Ap pomaior," is an apothegm that well il lustrates the Christianity of tho modern Methodist school of Bishops Ames and Simpson It is one of the hotlow echoes of a war, in which the Northern part of the nation sacrificed its religion "for its •' Nut remembering the words of Hon who said, What shell it profit a men to gain the"wholt, world and lose his own soul " Cuba is the next moral question which the ministers will feel it their duty to attend to Mr. Beecher has already spoken If the Congressmen, who are ili•n ipotentiaries of God, shall dote rm ine it to be necessary to the supremacy of tho party to secure the negto votes in Cuba, and if the present reennis cardtale between Bishop Simpson and the party continue, end radical ascendancy still recognize Methodist Epna. op thiseendan cy in the South as a political necessity, then as sure as fate the M thodist Epis copal Church presses, pulpits and con ferences will declare that God has given Cuba into our hands and we must go down and possess it.

Of which acts, after God has been esidorsed on thorn, ono of the drawers, Gov Sprague, now confesses that not a single one was done from any higher motive than sel fish interest. Obvious as this wicked presumption is, there never was on this earth a peo ple more docile in the hands of their clergy than the Methodist Episcopal Churches are. They seem utterly Inca pable of the elightesi. resuitivice. In fact the great mass of them, and nowhere more then in this city, are stupidly ig norant that their church is anything other than an aggregate of people, who go to meeting and hear the preacher sent to them, and are palavered from time to time about old Methodism,' by New England men who never could re ceive the old Methodism we sent them, but have changed it into the most pow erful ecclesiasticism of modern _times.

The Horrors of Being "Instantly Kill- E3ll Count Tolsboi'a "Sevastopol in May," in course of publication in "flours al Home," gives a very remarkable de scription of the death of a man who is instantly killed—as tit, living say, "in stand); killed"—by a piese of a shell which strikes him.

But that lasted only a minute ; the bomb came quicker and quicker nearer and nearer, so that you could ace the sparks from the tube and hear the fatal whist ling, and directed its course straight at the middle of the battalion, "Lie down," cried a voice. Michel Loft and Praskukin lay down on the ground- Praskukin, tightly closing his eyes. heard only how the bomb fell heathy somewhere very near on the hard ground. A second passed—it seemed an hour—and the bomb did not burst. Praskukin began.. •to be afraid that hedtad done a cowardly act without any reason, that perhaps the bomb had fallen far away, and thatbe only thought ho heard the fuse fizzing. He opened his oyes and SAW with satisfaction, that Michallof lay immoveable on ti,e ground near his legs. But his eyes at that moment met the sparkling fuse of the whirling bomb not a yard from him A horrid—a cold horror excluding all other thoughts and feelings—took ',ob session of hum. He covered his face with his hands. Another second passed— a second in which a whole world of thoughts, hopes, and rceollectionspassed through his mind. "Whom will it kill; moor ichalloff? or both to h T.'', If it hits me where will it hit) in the head then, it'isoall over ; if it hits my leg, they will cut it MI, and I shall soft them to do it by all means with chloroform—and I can still get through alive. list pi limps it will only-kill idichalleff—then I can tell how we were walking toggther, and lie was Lined and 1 was spattered with blood Nu; it's nearer to tne, it will kill ins I" Then he recollected the twelve rouble that he owed Michallta; he recollected also another debt at Petersburg that he ought to have paid long age; a Gipsy air that ho bad sung in the evening came into-his head The girl whom lie loved appeared to his imagination in a cap with Iliac ribbons ; he remembered is man whom he had insulted years before and who had never paid it back, al though at the seme time with these and a thousand other rememberances the feeling of his present circumstancos—the expectatior of deathnever fora mom ent quitted him. "However, perhaps it will not built," be then, and with a de spairing_ decision wanted to open his eyes. But at that instant, through the still shut . lide he saw a red fire, and with a horrible noise something hit him in the middle of the breast "Thank God I I am only bruised," was his first thought, and he wanted to feel his breast, but his hands seemed to be bound down, and a wait to' keep down his head. The soldietos shone in his eyes, and he unconsciously counted them : "One, two, three soldiers, and that one whose overcoat has alivpod down is an officer," he thought Then he raw dish. es, and be thought "what are thy filing from, mortars or cannon 7 - ttil,irtt tiring gotin, teetlia*Wke"4 gator s ; Avt, 4,_•ivatk *Wafers, "and 'they ill go part," !tad oncebecame afraid that they . would leave Idni there.

Then some red fires danced in his eyes, and It seemed to him that the soldiers were laying stones on him ; the lira danced quick er and quicker, the stones which they *laid bn 'hien oppreasd him more and more.

A friend recently related to us the following anecdote of 'llhosnir, which has never been published: • When Jiffierson Davis was Secretary o Wikr,he issued circulars to all the eitinY officers, asking of them speciflca tions for u proposed new uniform. Phomix, who WM an excellent draughts man, set to work and produced a de sign. lie nude no great change in the uniform, fait he proposed revolutioniz ing the entire system of modern tactics by an iron hook. This hook was to be attached to the seat of every soldier's pants It applied to every arm of the service, cavalry, infantry and artillery.
