BUIES FOB FASHIONABLE SEXTONS. ‘ L [For the Philada. Evening Bulletin. ] . 1. In this age of luxury and self-indulgence, it is undoubtedly the duty of a Sexton .so to arrange matters,.as to contribute to the- ease and comfort of the congregation; and one mode of dping this will be neglecting to yentilate the ,1 church building properly, as the. oppressive atmosphere will lull some of the worshipers » (perchance not a few) into a comfortable nap during the service. To be sure clergymen seem to have a prejudice against preaching to a slumbering audience; but as they invariably charge the Evil One with this sin (?) you as the Sexton of a church will hardly be suspected of being his agent. - ,2. By your neglecting to have the furnaces repaired when out of order; the fumes of gas and sulphur escaping will so irritate the throat and lungs of the people as to cause universal coughing, and this din will so divide the atten iion that the point of the sermon will in all probability fail to inflict a wound, so that some ’ ®t" the congregation will be able to retire with a . more quiet and easy conscience than they otherwise could have enjoyed; you will thereby be instrumental of promoting “ ease in Zion.” 3. If your evening meetings are uncomfort ably crowded, the most direct plan of thinning: them off, will be to fill the building as full of gas as possible, by letting it escape in a stream, whenever you light up the church; for but si very moderate number of individuals can with impunity, inhale gas for hours to . gether, oftener than once a month. - 4. By keeping the church excessively hot, . the ladies will be obliged to “flirt the fire” dexterously, and this exercise will prove a most diverting relief from the solemnities of 3 the occasion, much to the satisfaction of the young and gay of the assembly. 5. Again, if you keep the building .so cold, that it endangers the health and lives of the : Worshipers, it wiil be a moneyed benefit to the ■ physician and undertaker, and it is unques ; iionably your duty to study the interest of all, . especially the. last named personage. 6. For the Spring and-Autumn, when the air Is cold and damp, be sure yon see that all the /windows are closed in the body of the church, but you may leave them up in the galleries; . for even thongh the chill air will blow directly upon the backs of the worshipers in that po sition still they surely have no right to com plain, 'as they get their seats at a much lower figure than numbers who occupy pews below; also, you can leave the doors open, as none, with the exception of individuals who sit in the rear, will be incom-' moded by this; and they are too insignificant to chum the attention of a fashionable sexton. 7. When you find it necessary to close the : blinds on the sunny side of the church, leave them up abput a foot, as this will so dazzle, that the worshipers will be obliged to shut their eyes, i and perchance thereby hear the better. 8. When fashionable-dressed strangers visit the church, parade them up to the most con spicuous seats; they will be quite an ornament ' to the building;, but plain or shabbily-dressed ' persons should be taught to know better than enter_a fashionable church, by being stowed away in some unobstrusive corner (see James, 1.2.) where they will not be an eye-sore so the Dashers and Flashers of the congregation. It is true some rather awkward mistakes have oc casion hy this judging by appearance; for in stance, a rich and influential citizen has found himself and family in the “comer,” while his more fashionably-dressed employes have figured for the time upon an equality with “ Upper- Tendom!” But, as these cases are ex ceedingly rare, you need not apprehend - anything of the kind happening in your case. 9. It children, unattended by adults,' pre sume to enter your church, send them off im mediately; do this as roughly as-possible, and once will be quite sufficient; we will guarantee - they will never again: trouble you under any Circumstances. And, as an illustration of the . unbounded influence ofj sextons over children in this respect, we herelrelate that an old ljidy informed us that she was sent roughly off by a sexton from a church when a child, -and as she left the door resolved she would never in her lifetime enter a church of that denomination; and she never did. Although she lived to very old age she was never afterwards a church goer She had, when a child, been very fond of going to church,"but had no one to go with her. The Sexton cured her of' this habit! Some sextons place children unattended under 1 the care of a Sunday-school teacher. But these not being fashionable are no guide for your in stitution. ID. Wear boots with very high heels, and as much creak in them as possible, then the sound of your steppings will announce to the people the precise time to turn round and gaze at the strangers you are escorting to seats. 11. When the pulpit is occupied by a stran ger you need not be very particular about his haying light sufficient, especially if he uses notes. His becoming perplexed and confused ynll cause him to appear to disadvantage, and therefore there will be no danger of the people preferring him to their own pastor. 12. When you sweep the church for have it swept, we beg pardon) be not over particular a * J °? v-o Ousting— it is not manly to attend to such nines. For our own part we never see,a church budding well besprinkled with dust but TT? invariably think it a most convincing proof that the sexton belongs to the nobler six—the masculine, and not the finical feminine gender. ■n, ■_ .

M Last nipht. some time after midnight, several boa', loads of rebels came quietly down the Neuse Kiver and captured the guuboat Underwriter. They boarded her and the sailors jumped into the water and swam ashore. She was burned at once. Her magazines blew up about six o’clock this mora lc£‘ The gunboat lay between two forts, one on each side of Neuse Hiver. The full details are not yet known. The firing this morning has been light and it looks as though the rebels were going.' They have made a sharp and successtul move. They have captured and killed about 12 commissibned offi cers, and about 200 men, one section of a battery complete, burned or forced us to burn all the camps at the front and destroy a fine gunboat. For the force we have we feel that a fine thing his been, done by us. Save the battery,he obtained nothing, as all the camps and stpres not removed were burned. The day is fine after a heavy rain, last flight, and from present appearance our fight ing is over. The band at Fort Totten is playing National airs, and all are as gay and cheerful as possibly. THE MAUCH CHUNK, PA., BIOTEBS. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Times. l Reading, Fa.,; Feb. 3, lSGi.—The trial of the Mauch Chunk rioters was continued, by the mili tary Commission to-day. Charles Dugan was put upon trial upon sub stantially the same chargesand specifications upon wbicn Bergman and O’Dormel were tried, with the addition of the following specifications : Specification fourth— That said Charles Dugan, in furtaerafice :of said.combination and conspiracy aforesaid, and with the object and purposes afore said, as mentioned above in the first specification, iand to intimidate and prevent the loyal citizens of ithe cOnn'ies of Carbon, Luzerne, and Schuylkill, .from aiding andassisting the officers of said Gov ernment m the discharge of their military duties’ under tne laws thereof, did, by words, in sub stance, threaten and declare thathe would resist by force all the officers and other persons in aid of the Government concerned in enforcing the laws of the United States, for enrolling and drafting any and all persons subject to military duty under the laws thereof. This was said ano done at tne Township of Banks, in the County of Carbon, and State ef Pennsylvania on the Ist day of November, A. D. 1563, and at divers days, times and places, bsfore and after said mentioned day. Specification Fifth— That the said Charles Dugan, in furtherance of said combination and conspiracy aforesaid,, and with the object andpurposes aforeV said, as mentioned above in the first specification, and to intimidate and prevent the loyal citizens of the counties of Carbon, Luzerne and Schuylkill, in the State of Pennsylvania, from aiding and assisting the officers of said. Government in the discharge of their military duties under the laws thereof, did, in words substantially, say and declare that he would kill and murder any or nil citizens residing in the neighborhood, who should aid or assist the officers of the Government of the United States in enforcing the draft Under the laws thereof, or should give the names of those persons subject to military duty nnder said laws, or should give notice to said officers where the persons so subject to military duty resided or could be found, or who might be- drafted under said laws. This said and done at the town ship of Banks, in the county of Carbon, and State of Pennsylvania, on the Ist day of November. A. D. IEG3, and at divers other times and places before and since that date. Patrick Murphy was called bv the Judge Advo cate. He swore that he attended a meeting in the woods between Janesville and Hazleton some time in June, 18Q3, called and organized for the pur pose of resisting the draft; that the prisoner was at the meeting and acted as a sort of a marshal;to form the men in ranks and march them to and from the meeting. That the meeting was organ ized in the morning and lasted nearly all day ■ there were from six to eight hundred persons pre sent: speeches were made by Peter Dillon and several others, to the effect that they should or ganize to resist the draft, and if they were true to one another and all stood together, the Govern ment would not be able to force them into the racks or Lincoln’s Abolitionists. George Haycock was called by the Judge Advo cate. He swore that he at'ended a meeting gotten up to resist the draft; that the prisoner Charles j Dugan was present and took aa active part in the | proceedings. Edward Winters (who has sincernn I away), made a speech, and said, “They had met I to maintain the ‘Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was, ’ and to resist the draft—that the South i enters were fighting for their rights, and if they t° themselves they could not be com- J pelled to fighi against them. ’ ’ Witness swore that j £e, witk Hngh Mulligan, Tim Sweeny and John PauL were appointed a committee' to go around and lake the names of those who would join, to re sist the draft, and if any one refused to have his name put down and. aid in resisting the draft, he was to have notice and be driven from the countv in twenty.four hours. J John P. Sburman was also called by the Advocate. He swore that he had a conversation with the prisoner, Charles Dugan, the morning alter the meeting, and he said that he had attended 'the meeting, toey appointed a committee to enroll names to resist the draft: that they were 10 be i arm ed to resist the officers of the Government in making the draft: that this was a nigger war, and they had rattier fight and die at their own door 3 than go and fight for Abe Lincoln and his niggers; th*t they intended to kill Mr. Pardee, (the Provost Marshal) so he conld not get the names and make ttie enrollment, and burn Hazleton and destroy the Provost Marshal’s records. Sliurman swore also that the prisoner, Dugan, told him that the plan was to go to Beaver Meadow, and surprise Cant Yates’s (formerly of the Schenectady Time*) Com-’ pany, of the Invalid Corps, kill them and take their arms, and march on to Scranton, and attack and overppwer the troops stationed there, and bv that time Gen.
