/InZihrif pi f a inta y u p . .-. ;_ [FromAkeeleTreeP Reformed Messenger.] In times,bf storm on the ocean, wise navigators will often take thebearing of their-shirr, -and see whither they- are drifting. Amid civil agitations and con vulsions, the same procedure 113 all im portant:, It- is so for individual men, forsocieby, and for institutions. Under no'form do they find it so important as in their Christian character. Christian men, Christian society, the Christian Church, ought intimes like thepresent, to take especial care to know whither .they are drifting .The tendency is to 'rush - headlong. Wisdoni says, beware! It is amid commotion such as we are 'undergoing, that, more than ordinarily, " the devil, like a roaring lion, goeth aboutoseeking whom he may devour." Many men grow wild unreasonable with excitement constantly fed, society be comes imbittered, and its amenities are measurably forgotten—and the Church! Does she pour oil upon the troubled waters? Does she, with words of heaven ly wisdom and love, seek to allay the storms of human passion? Does she, as her mission is, stand forth by word and deed as an omnipotent ark of safety amid the general ruin of country and liberty which threatens us? In a word, is she in all her parts as true to herself, and thus to our country and mankind, as she ought to be ? These questions are pertinent to an extent, and in a sense, It appears to us, which many intelli gent Christians have so far found them selves utterly unable to realize. As items to be considered in fairly answer ing them, we propose the following specimen facts : One of the Pittsburg papers, several weeks ago, contained a series of tesolu tiofis on political subjects, offered by the Rev. Dr. D., of that city, and passed unanimously at the Synodical meeting of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, held in Mercer co., Pa. The resolutions recite their author's idea of the present stateof the country, of what has brought us into it, and what will enable us to get out of it, and eon cl ude by declaring it as a duty which they owe to god to vote themselves, and to urgg" their parishioners to vote, for the nominees of one of our political parties, whom they mention by name, at the coming Presidential election. In the same paper we saw also the re port of Et political meeting held in North western Pen van i a—a section largely settled by New England elements, at which, after different well-known poli ticians had spoken, the Rev. Dr. McL., of P., (reported to be a very kind, worthy gentleman,) followed with a speech in support of the party and and nominees before : referred to. Before us lies a copy of the " Western Christian Advocate l " a Methodist paper published at Cincinnati. It is not a private sheet, but is owned by the great Methodist Church, and speaks in its name. Were it not for its title, and the frequent use of the name of the denomi nation to which it belongs, the unac quainted reader might very readily mis take it for a campaign paper in the hire of the party whose interest it advocates on every page. We call these specimen facts. The list might easily be swelled till it would pass from the range of a newspaper to a book of no mean size, whatever applica bility the adjective, in one sense, might have to the contents. These, however, may suffice for our present purpose. Let the reader observe that— 1. To do work like what has just been referred to, is not the business of Synods. ministers, or Church-papers. They claim to speak in the name of Christi anity, in so far as they represent it, and their position necessarily leaves that impression. in its name they ought to speak when they do speak ; and on what they have no warrant from it, they should either be silent, or refain from dictation. The distinctive work of Christianity is to represent to men the unchangeable, the eternally true, the divine, and to address in men the immortal soul and its undying interests. It is laying violent hands upon it to seek to subordinate it to other purposes. 2. It is a great mistake to suppose that the Church hallows politics by be coming itself political. All history and experience testify to the contrary. For any part of it to become political is a violgtion of the law of its life, a heaven crying wrong. Denominations, congre gations and ministers who forget their calling in this matter, will themselves be secularized before they are aware of it. Sooner or later they will be found adrift amid the floating opinions and interests to which they have allied themselves. There are more means than a kiss to betray the Lord, and to secure the fate of Judas. 3. The tendency is immediately mis chievous. In ourcountry the two great parties are very nearly equally divided as to numbers, talent, intelligence and moral worth, and they profess alike unswerving fidelity to the country.— How, now, can the Church, under these circumstances, proclaim it as a duty to God to uphold the one and to overwhelm the other? And how can the Church expect the confidence and obedience of the ten or twelve millions of people whom it would thus wrong and conse quently embitter! Besides, have not these people also their religious convic tions on the same subjects? and shall they likewise seek for an official ex elon of them from the- Church ? And shall thus the battle of political ques tions and strifes, with all the unholy means employed, be fought at the very altars of Jesus Christ?- We cherish a feeling of devout grati tude to Almighty God that the Reform ed Church and some others haVe kept themselves aloof from politics in these violent times. " Some day the wisdom and truth of their course will be uni versally felt and acknowledged. Military Prospect---A Warning Against too Sanguine Expectations The New York Times, and other lead ing Abolition journals are to a great extent moderating the tone of extreme exultation to which they have hereto fore been accustomed to indulge on the recurrence of each new advantage gained by our arms. They seem to appreciate to some extent the difficulties of the task which they have set before themselves and the country. The Times thus strives to moderate the over-san guine anticipation of the extravagantly hopeful. It says editorially : It may easily happen that our people may be too sanguine with reference to the immediate results of General Sher man's march and his capture of Savan nah. Jeff. Davis said, in his late mes sage, with some truth, that the existence of the Confederacy, and the success of their cause, does not at all depend on their possession of cities. In our own struggle with Great Britain during the war of Independence, that Power held for years many of our largest cities, and marched her armies from one end of the country to the other, without per ceptibly affecting the decision of the contest. A vast agricultural country as the South is now, does not depend at all on cities; in fact, the population of towns in a severe blockade becomes often a burden on the producing classes. We might now, Jeff. Davis has said, hold Mobile, Wilmington, Charleston and Richmond, and the essential re sources of the Confederacy remain much as they have been. Bat it must be remembered that the essential resources, the material forces of the country, are by no means itsonly or principal strength. It has been said of a bombardment that its principal effect is metaphysical or mental. It is so with the power of a community to resist or to fight. It is mainly in the mysterious and utterly immeasurable force of the human will. These are affected by moral as well as material causes. The capture of Richmond would, in fact, relieve the Confederacy of a real burden, but in its moral effect it could not be measured by whatever loss of guns or stores. To a less degree the loss of Savannah tells on the prestige, the spirits of the Rebel population.— Still it is not to be denied that the escape of Hardee's army lost us the greatest prize of victory. What we mainly want now is the destruction of armies. Had the only outlet from Savannah been . shut up, and Hardee's fifteen thousand _been captured, we - should have been far nearer the close of the war than we are -now. Aar" Why are greenbacks more vain -able than gold, even at its present price? Because when you put a greenback in• your pocket you double it, and when you take it out again you find it in creases. The writer of this only sur vived its authorship a few hours. - - • Frera the Motor:Lora senunel.l In the Virginia Heine of Representa tives' Mr. Robertson, of the city of Richmond, from the Conniittee on. Confederate Relations, made a report on the position and Sentiments of Vir ginia in the present crisis, which was read' by the Clerk and unanimously adopted by the House. It is as follows : The General Assembly of V irginia deems it appropriate, in ..view of the events which have transpired since its adjournment, to express the sentiments of Virginia upon the present crisis, and to reaffirm her position upon questions which affect , alike our national,' State and personal existence ; therefore, Resolved, That while the General As sembly deplores the continuance of the present war, and profoundly sympa thizeswith ouppatriotic and heroic army in its toils, privations and dangers, and with the good people of the Common wealth, and in the other Confederate States, in the sufferings inflicted upon them by the inhuman warfare waged by the common enemy, yet Virginia remains unshaken in her purpose never to submit to the despotism of the North under the grave necessity imposed by the revolutionary appeal to arms to coerce the sovereign States by the Fed eral government, usurping a power un known to the constitution, and in a matter involving the rights to self-pre servation and domestic regulation, common alike to all the slavehold ing States in the exercise of a clear right to resist such usurpa tions, and to repel force by force, and by the deliberate action of her people she severed her connection with the United States, and sipce that event the conduct of the United States govern ment has furnished no reason for regret ting the separation ; but by waging an unjustifiable war, in a most barbarous manner, devastating our country, slaughtering our men and offering in dignities to our women, aiming at the destruction of our government and the extermination of our people,_ it has ren dered a renewal of our former Union alike odious, unatural and impossible. Second, That this Commonwealth, invoking the continued-favor of Divine Providence, which has heretofore watch ed over and protected us, and confident in the wisdom, patriotism, and energy of the Confederate government; the cardinal co-operation of all the Confed erate States, the fortitude and persever ance of our people and valor of our noble army, we cheerfully abide-the destiny of the Confederacy, and confidently an ticipate the triumph of our armies, the establishment of our independence, and an honorable peace. Third, That it is the imperative and paramount duty of the Confederate government to continue to devote its utmost energies to the vigorous prose cution of the war, as it is only by suc cess of arms that we can obtain an hon orable peace and preserve the sovereignty of these States, and the liberties. of our people from destruction. To that end, this Commonwealth will endure every sacrifice until the freedom which is our heritage shall be securely established in peace, under the protection of the Con federacy of Independent and Southern States. Fourth. That the Confederate gov ernment, which is the centre and organ of our united exertions in war, has been also entrusted with the power of con cluding a peace by that censtitution which binds these states together, and this Commonwealth, believing that the trust has been wisely reposed for the common benefit does not desire either to withdraw the authority which has been delegated by all the States for their safety or to embarrass by irregular proceedings the Con federate government in its delicate and difficult duty 0f negotiating peace, and that any propo sition from the enemy to any of the States of this Confedraoy to treat for a seperate peace is, in the languageof this General Assembly in 1782, " insidious and i mid m issi ble." z Fifth. That unity, both in prosecuting the war and in concluding a peace, is absolutely essential to our safety, and can he obtained only by a firm adher ence to constitutional authority es tablished by all the states ; and that this General Assembly will not listen to any proposition, nor sutler any nego tiation, inconsistent with. their ('on federate faith and union. Letters from General Lee. The following letters from General Lee - have just been made public : ARLINGTON, Va., April 20, 1861. General—Since my interview with you on the 18th inst., I have felt that I ought not longer retain my commission in the army. I, therefore, tender my resignation, which I request you will recommend for acceptance. It would have been presented at once, but for the struggle it has cost rneAt) separate my self from the service too which I have devoted all the best years of my life and all the ability I possessed. During the whole of that time—mote than a quarter of a century—l have ex perienced nothing but kindness from my superiors, and the most cordial friend-, ship from my comrades. To no one, General, have I been as much indebted as to yourself for uniform kindness and consideration, and it has always been my ardent desire to merit your appro bation. I shall carry to the grave the most:grateful recollections of your kind consideration, and your name and fame will always be dear to me. Save in defence of, my native State, I never desire again to draw my sword., Be pleased to accept my most earnest wishes for the continuance of your hap piness and prosperity, and believe me, most truly yours, 0 R. E. LEE. Lieut. Gen. Winfield Scott, Command ing United States Army. A copy of the preceding letter was in closed in the following letter to a sister of the General, Mrs. A. M.: ARLINGTON, Va., April 20, 1861. My Dear Sister—l am grieved at my inability to see you. * * * I have been waiting " for a more convenient season," which has brought to, many before me deep and lasting regrets. Now we are in a state of war which will yield to nothing. The whole South is in a state of revolution,into which Virginia, after a long struggle, has been drawn, and though I recognize no necessity for this state of things, and would have for borne and pleaded to the end for redress of grievances,real or supposed,yet in my own person I had to meet the question, whether I should take part against my native State. With all my devotion to the Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not Veen !able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have, therefore, resigned my commission in the army, and, save in defence of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my , •sword. I know you will blame me, but you must think as kindly of me as you can, and believe that I have endeavored to do what I thought right. To show you the feeling and struggle it has cost me; I send a copy of my letter to General Scott, which accompanied my letter of resignation. I have no time for more. * May God guard and protect you and yours, and shower upon you!! every blessing, is the prayer of your de voted brother, R. E. LEE. "4 NAUGHTY LITERATURE.—The pur veyors for diseased mental tastes who advertise " spicy " books for sale In New York, and who will send them by mail securely sealed, never publish any thing, I am sure, more licentious than a pamphlet now being distributed here. It gives the suppressed evidence in the examination of Mr. Clark, of the treag r ury note printing bureau, showing that very naughty transactions take place there and elsewhere. Gen Garfield was censured last year for suppessing this portion of the testimony taken before the committee, of which he was chair man. Now we have it in its original impurity, without a conflicting state ment of any kind.— Washington Letter. Greenback Liars The Tribune, in a leading editorial, uses the following language in regard to greenbacks: "The greenback that calls itself five dollars is unconsciously a liar. It is really but alittle over two dollars. And this, like all other lies, though it seem for the moment advantageous, is a gen eral mischief and detriment. The scheming, gaming few who may make by it, but the industrious many must lose." The President's last lot Nice but Nu - ergette. At the C stmas reception given by Mr. Litif,.*_ , *st,Motiday, the venera ble Secretary of the Nary was in high feather, boasting of the achieve ments of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadroll in capturing Savannah, while also being kind enough to acknowledge that the 'forces under General Sherman had rendered the navy some not incon siderable help! After Mr. Welles left the room a general officer who was pre sent—the head of an important bureau —remarked that the patriarchal Secre tary of the Navy " seemed to consider the capture of Svannah altogether a nlival. triumph." To this Mr. Lincoln flashed 'forth one of his magnificent jokes, there being only' this objection to its reproduction : that it was far-too rich,to be piinted, and can only -be pass ed from, ; mouth to mouth in the circles of the innermost initiated. Tha,t is the report of the President's last joke as it appears in the telegraphic despatches to the New York Herald from Washington. Of course, it was too disgustingly filthy and obscene to be printed; but not too coarse to be laughed.over and enjoyed by the crowd assembipd round Lincoln in the rooms of the "White HOuse, once the home of pure men and high-minded statesmen. That portion of the testimony in regard to the amours of the occupants of the Treasury Department has been printed for surreptitious circulation, and is said to have been so much sought after in Washington that the first large edition is exhausted. Would it not be a good speculation for some enterprising Yan kee to get out a second edition, with such jokes of our model President as are " too rich to be printed " as an appendix? No worider the moral atmosphere of Washington is foul beyond description, when the White House walls ring with laughter aroused by obscene jokes too filthy to be printed. The very thought of such things is enough to make every decent man blush with shame and in dignation. groftookmat (sartlo, XTEWTON LIGHTN ER, AVTORNEY-AT-LAW NPRTP hTKEET, (Nearly qpposlte the Cpprt lioused LA MiAST'ER, PA ang 29 tfilwx , 1 --- ANDREW J.
