Hutter, iu St. Matthew's <Lutheran) Church, New street, below Fourth, on Sutiday evening week, in tho presence of a large congregation. The text selected for the occasion was from First Chronicles, v. 22 "Tue War was o Geo." The speaker opened by saying that there was no research more instiu>tive or edifying than that which related to G"d's various dispensations to [aaokiud. Iti all its Waring* thin was, he knew, an Jsquiry too stupendous fur finite intelliseuce to •SMmprehend; he would, therefore, address iiim- Btlf to tbe subject proposed, with uo ambition of "tracing out the ways ol tho Almighty unto par fection," but rather with a view to directing the mind of his hearers to the great fact tiiat there is an overruling Providence. On this subject, he said, there were two opposite errors which shpnM bo avoided Some hid a desire to know too much about it—to "lie wise above what is written"— whilst others manifested a:i utter indifference to the subject altogether. Tho true course lor th - Chris tian to pursue, he sii!, was to avoid botji ex tremes, nod it was in this temper that he pow pro posed tu trace the mystvrious and yet all-encircling and overruling Providence of God in some of the wars which, at various periods, have desolated the earth. Beginning with tbe narrative from which his text was selected, he said it was declsired that the war there referred to, in which Israel was engaged, "was of God." So. too, in Numbers xxxi., yv-- bad an account of God's having given an express command to Moses to -'avenge the children of Israel of the Midianitca," the wh >'.e passage being read in order to show that not only had this aveng ing war been by the command of God, but that Motes was especially laiso l up of Heaven, to be their captain and leader The interesting account gireu in tho 6th and 7th chipters of Julges, ol Gideon and his valiant three hundred, was also read. In this instince, G >-d h 1 not only by his angel urged Gideon to go f-rth agiinst th • Midian ites and Anmlckdes to batt'e, but "ssitre l G' 'eon that the Lord would be with iiiin in thj con est, by two wonderful tests. Aud so God went with him. and gave him v-etory over hi* enentie*. These arid similar passages were introduced to show, from the Divine record, "the hand of God in war." In fact, he took it for granted that no rt fl -cting mind would question, that in none of the great events of this world's history hid the overruling Provi. deuce of lite Almighty been more strikingly dis played than in the wars which, at successive peri ods, had desolated ihe fairest portion of the globe. To s-ver the Providence of Heaven frotn these things wm. ir fact, to deny tlio existence of a Su preroe Ruler altogether, .-nd to affirm, with the Atheist, that the affairs of world have n<< brad, but that they are left to capricious chitice alone. But it was important for us to obtain intelligent and Scriptural views respecting God's I'rovid -nee, otherwise we might he gttiity of charging upon the sovereignty of Jehovah, what is more properly at tributable to apostate, fallen mm. It must bi borne in mind thit the Word of Go I tiught that there are two kinds of Providences providing in tho Divine administration of the att'tir* ot men, viz -. those that are absolute , and those that are simply permissive. Til u the line of dem ire ition between the two was d.flicult, and even impossible to trace perfectly, he would admit; yet. so far as it was ptacticable, it was our duty to make the effort. For his own part, tho speaker held thi* to be in controvertibly true, that War, in any or ail ot its relations, never come* from God through those that instigate-it, except permissirely —never abso lutely, but always as part and parcel of the great chain of his providential dealings w'th. the children of men. God was a God of order, not of confu sion, and so cotill not ire tbe author of war. War, on the contrary, was from the Devil, even from the •'Father of Lies, who wat a murderer from the beginning." and it was he that stirr d up the base passions of men, and incited them to deadly hos tilities. imposing upon Die good and tho patriotic the necessity of repcdlicg by forco. The sacred writers, he said, frequently ascribed directly to God things which he simply permitted, for the full trial and discipline of man. Th.\t God never could be the r.nthor of war ex cept permissively, ho sai l, reaitlt 1 n >t only from Ilis own perfection, but also frost th* characteris tics of war itself, the imm sdiate fr of which the speaker here proceeded, with thrilling power and grapuio accuracy, to depict. In delineating this botrible portraiture, tbe methods of destruction employed, the horrors at tending th'dr use, the desolation and ruin wiiic/t they wrought, tho de vastation of towns, villages, and agricultural re gions; impoverished communities, increased taxes, arrested commerce, despairing and suffering fami lies, religion languishing, thousands of young men demoralised, bridges destroved, railway* torn up, travel suspended, and an endless train of attend mt evils, sufficient to chill one's blood and liiike one's hair stand on end, like the quills of a fretted pox r cupinc, were referred to. And all these things were incident to the mere preparation for war; slsst what must it be when culminated in deadly conflict) Tbe imagination could look forward and see tbe now smiling valley transformed into a spectacle of death, with tbe fruits of the earth trodden under footjbnape of slain weltering in tbeir own blood, with tbaineraory of .hotq* rushing on ibclr minds, hut not a voice of friendship or com fort reaching their ears. And who eouid tell the - honors of a besieged city, with its multitudes of mta, women, and children fleeing from their homes -lato the caves nd mountains to escape destruction; paUoesdeaiolPbcd. churches in ruins, banks plun den-d, and entire streets levelL'l to the dust t And such scenes as these the Bible told us, In the text, were "Of Gad''—of Him who is the source •f all goodness and tbo centre of all excellency.— How cqitld this 1h? He would agon reply, they usver God directly. No, they were miseries resulting fVutn 'mail's inhumanity to man.' But luid then God nothing to do with war f Yes, much; if not in its Instigation, at least in its ' 3o*sequ.-nce and results, for by them some of , tie greatest benefits to mankind bad been achiev, ed, both for the welfare of man and tbe declara tive glory of God. Of course, if all men were actuated by tbe benigu spirit ot the -.Gospel, the dread trbitrament of war need never be rcsorttd •0. Finally, coming to tbo great question now np. pennost In the minds of our people, the speaker saM ho recognized in this disastrous civil war in wblcb our countrymen sre now engaged, the hand of God. God, It w.is tru*, <tid not inaugurate it. it has boo begun b/N-d. designing men, in the seizure of tbo Government lbrw and other proper ty, and the attempt to overthrow, by rebellion, the purest, and wisest, and liest Government this ,'orld had ever beheld. No ! ttds was not God's work, but the Devil's. Tbe Devil was at the bot tom of fti ha ' was the head and front of it, with his emissaries, Whbm ha need not naroo And yet, assundly was in it, and Ho would tarn and overturn until his purposes were accom plished, and those purposes would be for good, and uo doafit, also, for the chastisement ot those wicked men, who would ultimately have to go to the wall. Their boasted new republic, witb its Eaitltsnake ensign, begun in violcnoe an i carried °u by villainy and iraud, would prove an abortion, whilst the old Union, the old flag, and tho old Constitution would . come out of the ordeal not only unscathed, but like gold seven limes tried in {, i furnace, the purer and better for tho trial; and this would be the work of God, and this was what rae * nt w hen he said ; 'This war is of G"d.' •suffering, sacrifice, aa l patience it would cost; out we should rt member thit l'b- rty' and good verritnent are worth all they cist, wli ttever tb-.it Jtay be. Our Revolutionary struggle cost much, "s result was priceless, and this had inspired ■K-men who engaged in it. The present crusade ?-'ast our Government and our flag, ho would again repeat, he verily lielievcl to be front tho ug< der.:l in hell, nod for a purpose cx vedingly fteiiutsh and dUtiolic.il; but iiis trust a Hi God. What oar far tie rs labored to establish, v were now laboring to per| etusto, and this be) , WOC U be accomplished as certainly as i . e k°nl God Omriipoti r.t reigneth. , w "' ttt> * "" r seeklug; but, having J begun by ambitious auj. designing men, with out a justifl ibli cause, *ve looked, as Israel did, of old, to our God, oven the God ol our fathers.— God did not 11110011}* invite Israel to war, but when the enemies of Israel resisted the spread of his everlasting kingdom, an i refused to bow to his supreme monarchy, then lie did shield them by his power, and erect in their behalf the cloud by day and the piiler of fire by night, and the blessings of those Very wars we were at this hour enjoying, 1 for, liad it not been tor them, bo continued, we would not now have the Bible, nor the Sahhatb, ; nor the sanctuary, nor any of our inestimable re iigious privilege*. So, in the American Revolu tion, God had not incited our forefather* to war j 1 He had not infused into our great and good Wash ington a thirst for hlootf, but when the mother country sought to enslave oprfree-born sons, .then God bad infused into them opposite ..views and opposite principles. and the two com ing in contact, there was war, and then God t cus in it, in tb' fact that he caused victory to perch upon our banners ; that he upheld our fl ig, and gave success t our artuies, and euabled Iheui to erect on those Western shores a Ironic for the oppressed of every clone. In the same way, he f elieved. God would also be in this war; not that He was the instigator of it, God forbid ! but Go 1 Wis in it, in tint He was now raising up the peo ple to defeat those who hid conspired to overthrow our institutions. The hand of God was most assuredly in this con test, although Lu few of us might live to see its whole purpose and design. It was however not for us to exercise a blind trust in this matter. God worked by means, and if rebellion WJS to be over thrown, ami our Government maintained, it- was nexcttsary that opr brave tuen go forth, noi with malace in their hearts, but with prayer and deep .-orrow—with a sense of Christian patriotism and duty. And, believing that tiiey who are f" r .up holding the Union, the G jven.niont the Consti tution, . ml the flag, are right. We could, when those ale assailed, not do otherwise than rush to the! defence. His prayer was that they might be sue cessful in th s, and return in triumph, their b.u>v.> hound with victory, the oil dig flying— not a stir ! dimmed, nor a stupe erased, and that until th<* trutup of the archangel shall reverberate through j the earth this favored and happy land might con tinue as tlio centre of attraction for all the op pressed uttd the down-trodden of earth. AYid in tiiis way, he verily believed that we would have it to say, as Israel said in the text, -This war tvas of God." The discourse was delivered with even more than Mr. Jlotter's usual earuestness of manner and felicity ol expression, and elicited the ciosest at tention throughout, and, as a whole, was un questionably one of the most telling sermons that have yet been preached upon the all-absorbing question of the present hour. WASHINGTON, M.y 17. —The statement that Mr. HOBS Wis its, of Balrpuore, was un- j conditionally released, ,[s .ptifounded. There ] is authority for stating that he was ouljt relea<- ! ed by order of the Government, on Ins parole of ItODor that he would do no aet openly or covertly hostile to the Government ol the United States. A general army order has been issued, sta ting that there wi 1 be adpkni to the gcnerul i staff of the army four qu .rteruiiisiers aud eight assistants to be promoted and elected accord- j ing to the existing laws and regulation-, i There wiii be added to the medical department two scrgeons and twenty assistants.

May 8, 1801. Ayer's Sarsaparilla A compound remedy, in which we have la bored to produce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an effective antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must provq of immense service to this large class cf our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by exper iment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints: SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCEUS, PIMTLES, BLOTCHES, Tritons, SALT RHKVH, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SYPHILITIC AF FECTTOJIS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEU RALGIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX, DEBILITY,'-DYS- J , PEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRK, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. • *■ This c ompound will be found a great pro moter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the time | ly expulsion of thdm many rankling disorders | are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulccroua n ! sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the .vitiated blood whenever yob find its impurities .bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, cr sorc3; cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder | is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the j . blood healthy, and all 13 well; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no , i lasting health. Sooner or later something " 1 must go wrong, and the great machinery of j life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation, of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egregiously deceived by ) preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed j for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, j or any thing else. During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa rilla, but often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and pgiiiful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we cail this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend ! to supply such a remedy as shall rescue tha name from the load of oblcquy which rests upon it. And we think .we have ground for believing it has virtues tfhich arc irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend ed to cure. In order to secure their complete j eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. PREPARED BY £>R. J. C. AVER Si CO. LOWELL, MASS.
