SKRMOX BY REV* W. 11. FI'RNESS. Utfs reverend gentleman, at his church, Tenth and l ocust streets, took for bis toxt the 6th verso of the 88th chapter of Isaiah: v. la not this the fast that I have clioson to undo the heavy burdens and to lot the oppressed go true, and that ye breakeven* yoke.” The speaker began by referring to the form which the present rebellion had taken as being foreseen by but a ti-w. Tlw threat* that came frvm the South had, like the cry of well iu the fable, been so often repeated that they bad come to be almost entirely disregarded; and besides, the imagination could not conceive of such an enormous sin; and it was ouly lately that we had been able to see that the Southern leaders had been sincere. It had ap peared far more probable that the North would have withdrawn itself from a partnership involving the guilt of human slavery. This calamity had been feared, however, from the very beginning of the nation. The Constitution was objected to at the Worth because it recognis'd Klavery its a local institution. But on tho ground of the prohibition of the foreigu slave trade which was embodied in the Constitu tion, these objections were overcome; hut slavery, instead of dying out as the fathers uf the republic hoped it would, has grown from seven hundred and liftythou eacd to over four millions. It was the foreboding of danger that made Jefferson nay that “ lie trembled for hio countrv when he thought of the justice of Ilcavcn, for Clod, ho said, “bad no attribute that could take side.? with the masters.” Tho belief that tho horrors of St. 3)osnii> ,T o wor** to be ro-enacted upon a stupendous scale vaa wide])- prevalent; but the dark evil grew to such an wrtent flint it warned ns if no moral rorco would staud against it. For a century its dark shadow has filled the land, and t>o gom-nitions have been taught to believe if no public notice were taken of the evil it would be the same fH if it did not exist. That this doctrine was dangerous, argued the ant-aker, cun be seen in tho very readiness with which the people took refuge under tho subterfuge. TTnder this it had spread out to such an extant as almost to defy tho strength of reason. Well might Jefferson tremble, auii well might Pinckney pay, that “if slavery lasted fifty years, it would extinguish, tho lost spark of liberty in the. Yuioui" Tills propheticdrt?»d h now ripening into fact. Ohp speaker thou argued that slavery was demora lizing the people, that it had destroyed the kpdso which wo should have of moral and human right*, and tho South ern outbreak was its natural and necessary result. From the character of ttie rebellion alone wo might infer that its loaders were trained in brutality. In all other rebel lions there Ims been ft cause which has justified the act; but the cause of this is the love of despotic power. It stands nl»n<- in this respect, and not from tho filiuhnt breath of freedom does it dcrivo its savage life. Only ns long as the rtavo power, by corruption, could control the nation, only so long could It restrain from plundering tho public property and spilling tho best blood of the nation. Let us, thee, in tho language of President Lincoln, «'• Without guile, and with pure purpose, renew our tiuit in God, and go forward without fear, ami with manly hearts.” SERMON BY REV. R. JEFFERY, J’ASTOr. OF THE FOURTH BAPTIST CHURCH, COKXO OF FIFTH AJiD BUTTONWOOD STREETS. Text—Ezra viii., 23. il So v:e fasted, and besought our God for this; and he was entreated of vr.” Mr. Jeffery opened by saying, that various were the theories upon which men account f«n* the trials that now bc-set tho nation, and numerous were the remedies they propose for the cure of our evils; and there was danger that, in our differences about the causes of our calamity, we might fail to Itarn those lessons of wisdom which God 5s designing to teucli us by them. Much of what would be regarded us a ground of confession by pome would be fominied into reasons ol juslifinitiunjby others, and causes for cur disaster assigned by one party would be repudiated by another. The pn valent view taken to-day wag, that tho war was a punitive visitation from the Almighty, even by those ■who differ as to what our sins are; though in the judg ment of the speaker, it was not so clear that the ex istence of this civil war was to be construed into an evi dence of Divine wrath against us. Wo had, indeed, pro claimed our indifference to that righteousness which exalteth a nation, m the prevalent laxity of family go vernment, our indifference to public virtue, and our apathy regurding tho moral characters of the mon elected to tflice. Still more had we offended against God by divorcing political questions from their moral oenrinys. The insane cry agaiiiKt political preacliing had been raised against every discussion in,the pulpit as to the right or wrong of public anil national questions, while some ministers hail *• been dumb dogs that dure not bark,” or 4 ‘false prophets, crying peace, peace, when there was no peace.” Some would say that tlie cause of all disasters was agitation on tli<* part «.-f those who have denounced slavery, and that, but for this, God would still be smiling upon us. Hut the speaker waa not one of those who believe that it is a sin to remember them that aro bound. Doubtless, if the na tion had yielded to the uurighteou«demands of tho slave power, we might have had peace for a time longer. But would any sane man presume to say that our refusal to farther complicity with such a system hasdisp!ea»i*d God, and brought upon us this war, as an expression of his displeasure on that account ! This was a rebellion, not against oppression, but ugaiu*t freedom. It smiled to the speaker that God was displayin': Ills gracious for- IwrftHCf, invitiug us to seize the present, in which to forsake our sins, and prove our fitness for the glory of our destiny. Jt was a mistake to interpret every trial as an evidence of Divine displeasure. Temporal adversity and prospe rity were very uncertain signs of his wrath or his favor. Their character in this respect was to he determined by tho causes which originate them. Would any say that the trials through which our revolutionary fathers passed were punitive visitations 1 No! It becomes us to pause, therefore, before we ascribe this struggle to the punitive displeasure of God. It was not the greatest calamity imaginable that a few rich mon should bo mado poor, or that many should lose their lives iu a just cause. Suc cess resulted from trials; glory vas preceded by suffer ing ; life sprung from death. Even the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering. For what, then, ought we, as a nation, to pray, on this clay of lvumilUtion before God 1 First. That, as a people, we might beprofoundly af fected with a constant and special regard to tho approba tion of God throughout tliis contest. Here a pointed re ference was made to our self-confidence, our forgetful ncro of God, and our impiety * as Been iu many of the steiw taken already, especially as taught us in tho disas ter at Bull Run. in the second place, we ought, he said, to pray for Strength to endure till we have gained our cau*e. Here Mr. Jeffery enumerated several elements that exposed us to the dangers of divided counsels. T'rom those it was our duty to pray to he delivered, at least that our cause he not destroyed on account of them. In view of the great i-fues involved in this conflict, it was better that every dollar be sacrificed and every man shoulder arms than that we cease from the conflict till onr flag floats and in triumph over every Inch of territory, aud Union and liberty be secured, now and forever, one and iust*par:iM«. In the third place, it behooved ns to pray for a clear (Uncomment of, mid cordial sympathy with, Cod’s de signs regarding the future of our nation. In tho opinion of the speaker, the fate of slavery was involved in this contest, and its ultimate overtmw would result from tho struggle. In what precise niannerthis wouldbebrotight about he did not presume to eay, Jc w«JJ not a tree vlilcL God had planted, therefore He would pluck it up. If in this we should walk contrary to the Lord, then the spetikerbelieved Ho would walk contrary to us in fury. He would destroy our high places and cut down our images and cast our carcases upon the carcases of our idols, and make our cities waste and our sanctuaries a desolation. Finally, it becomes us to pray that henceforth piety might become the pervuding characteristic of our national life. SER3IOIS BY REV. T. J. SHEPHERD. There were yesterday four religious services held in the Buttonwood-street Presbyterian Church, (Key. T. J. Shorherd pastor,) a prayer meeting in the momittg, at eight o’clock 5 preaching service at eleven o’clock; a Union pr*y»T meeting at four o'clock r. M. r conducted hv the pastor, and a Congregational prayer meeting in the evening. There was a very large attendance throughout tho day, and the iiorricts were all of a highly interesting and appropriate character. The sermon by Mr. Shepherd was founded on Isaiah, lix, 12. “ Our Sins Testify against Vs.” In opening Mr. Shepherd said that the text gave 113 a picture of a court room, where a solemn cause is pout ing. The judge was the great God; the parties on trial vcre men—the men of this nation —ourselves ; the wit nesses were the numerous, enormous, most aggravated sins or each of our country’s citizens, lie said, further, that the point of time which the picture seized was that vh'-a, the evidence all given in, the parties on trial waive argument «nd confcra judgment) “ SVe are guilty.” He represented the parties as saying \V<_- ywjj j( * yrlied tho.se mighty agencies of public instruc livu, the Sabbath school and the pulpit, in seeming con viction that mere knowledge apart from submission to God's law aud will, would somehow save our land from \Mvek. In ail, he said, we )m>l ignurnl the true God, and hansel up au idol, with no more veal power to protect the fabri* of society than Baal in Tyre, or Diunu iu Ephcsun, or Jupiter In Home, He then dwelt on tho greatness of this sin, in itself and in its aggravations. He adverted to our colonial, revolutionary, and national history in e vidence that God had not dealt with any nation as with ours. And since, after all God’s goodness, we had forgot ten God, disowned Him, dishonored Him, was it n mar vel, he feked, that God should set homo sin upon us by punishment 1 11. Under tho second head, the preacher maintained that the fact of lawlessness* as the characteristic sin of the* nation, was patent to all. He adverted to the disre gard of Pod’s fflio everywhere visible) to profanity. Sab bath breaking, murder, and the rest. He spoke of the do ynestic lawlessness, which was well nigh universal. Ho paid that one of the saddest feature* of American society was the contempt in which children mid youth hold the authority of parents and tho respect to superiors. He maintained that this general lawlessness, this manifest disregard, by individuals, of divine law, by children of parental law, had just culminated in national tawlessless. He i*utam which w»4 then Impending had broken over the i < ountry with terrible fury, and we are now engaged in war. Why had nol that day, devoted to general liumi* liallon and sunpliration, been inllurntinl for good 1 The ppt-ak'-r argu'd lha reason was evident; that it \\:u- contained in the niswer of the prophet Lmiah to the inquiry propounded in the text. We hod not di»chnrgo heart’s desire and prayer to God for tins Union is that it may be preserved. Standing in a city planted by tlmt man who, more than any other founder of a colony, represented tho great principles of peace, love, and union ; standing iu the city where lived Franklin , who first, in 1784, pro posed a plan of union of the provinces, and who first, twenty-ono year* after, in this city, submitted to Coa- 1776, an outline for confederating the colonies iu one nation; standing in a city where that first COllltf deration was’nnul*; whore Congress proclaimed these United Colonies free and independent, and where with Washington iu the chair, the people of tlicso United States, through their deputies in Convention assembled, frame l that most perfect of all systems of human government, thn Constitution of tho United States; standing under the very keystone of the arch of this Union, with the States of tho North Hbutting it on the one bide and the States of the South upon th* and «nrround«xl by such atwcla llons and Inttuene***, there should. MO voice jfo out troiu till* city or from this pulpit but the voice for Union. In that Union, we have marched on for eighty year*, the pride and glory of tho world. In tho rupture of that Union, we stand this day disgraced before thf world, and in tho reconstruction and perpetuity of that Union lies .ho hope of our nation for tho future, and not of our nation only, but of the liberty of tho whole world. When 1 look back to the first discovery of this country, aud mark how God reserved it for so many hundred years, in this virgin soil; when I look to the first colo nizing of this country, gathering tho people from w many different portions of Europe; when I look to tho various steps taken for colonial union, which re sulted in independence, to thu seven-years war which bound those people together by ties of blood, to tho wise Constitution which was framed for our government, to tho working ol that Government during eighty years, and to the present expansion of this people over this whole continent, I cannot: but feel that God is not now going to give us up to despair. Surely, our career is not yet run. The Republics of Greece and Ri>nn* t without the true God, without tho religion of Jesus" Christ, with out the Bible, luHled longer than the period of our na tion’s age. They fell not until luxury fmu oncrTPtfd thf mind i until cuvetuusnean hail cankered Uin heart j until Beltiahncßbhad hardened tho consciousness; until ambi tion hud disguised it «*lf in tho robe of patriotism that it might the more readily betray the liberty of the people. Surely, we have not coiuc to this. This day, though a day for the afflicting of our souls, is a day bright with hope. I see the. citizens of many States gathering to this national fast ; I s.-«< thn rhurchoG of oil denominations as sembling in their respective places of worship; I see the clergy of all creeds and distinctions teaching those con gregations tin l truth of God respecting the fast; and I Be* tho community, as the heart of otio man, entreating tlmt God may take from us the evils under which wo groan. Shall all t!i<*tso prayers aud cfforlii bo in vain » BIVINE SERVICE AT THE JEWISH SYNA GOGUE. Tlio Synagogue in Seventh etreet, above Arch, waa opened for Divine service yesterday. Tho liturgy con fciFted of prayer*, reading and expounding the Scrip tures, and was calculated to impress strangers (of whom there were many present) with a realization of its beau tiful and imposing character. Tho discourse for tho day was delivered by Rev. J. Menus, tho minister of the congregation. AVe append tin accurate synopsis: Brethren: Were it my office to address an audience of mere Israelites, I would on tin* present occasion so b'.ct as my : text a weighty sentence which occurs in the 14th chapter of Exodus. ■When dearly bought freedom is in jeopardy, when tho angry billows of the political sea impede the march of ci vilization, ami tin* adversaries of human brotherhood are skilfully marshalled for tho onslaught, deeds of self-de nial more than psalmody will sanctify tho life of man. Lot him, therefore, wlm values his country’s honor speed on ! und when the happy goal shall have been attained, raise an anthem which shall bo reverberated from sea to sea, even from tbe Atlantic to tho Pacific ocean. Thus would I briefiy speak if this were a Gentile assembly. But, as my lot *as east among those who ;u*o siugled out in their creed si,,d worship, I have doomed it expo die it to adopt another course. Non-compliance of the Hebrew cunmuuiiy with the counsel ot' tho Frmdent of the United States might, at this juncture), 'nave been open to animadversion. It, therefore, became fit that wo who pray ceaselessly for the welfare of the laud of our adoption, should join our voices this time, also, to those of our fellow-citizens who implore God for the re storation of peace. When the custodian of all liberties, descrying the imminent danger, exhorts to prayer that it may be averted, you, who taught the. world how to pray, will even at thi« hour exclaim, "fktve US, Oh Lord ; trnnwer u~, Oh Jving, on the day that we call upon you!” But in attuning our hearts to the national supplica tion, we receive an additional incentive in the present instance by the remembrance that the chief magistrate of our toolovi d Umon did not trauscend tie proper limits to pander to the wishes of tho majority. His proclamation is the exponent of that excellent provision in tho Ameri can Constitution, which forms its brightest ornament, but of which ze;Uols are now striving to divest it. Not they who tender Divine adoration to t.he man of Nazareth are exclusively rccom nenued to beseech the living God for tho triumph of rightful authority over twurpHtion; so that tho entreaties ol the whom nation, ascending to the throne,of grace, vid bring down plentiful blessings upon our afflicted country. Such, I take it, are his words—very dissimilar, my* bretlu-on, from those of some high func tionaries, whoso narrow views debarred them from dis cerning beyond the pale of their religion an object wor thy of any comidarAik-n. In conformity, therefore, with so discreet a summons, we will again pour out our eouls before the Omnipotent. Tbe Goil of battles will lead to victory. But, if the pa triotic ardor that seemed to burn in every breast when tho national f scntrlieon was first tarnished, lms boen quenched hy the Lethean waters of egotism—if the me mory of past achievements aud past glory does not arouse in our midst tho Leonidas that will struggle for the mainte nance of this pwrlesß Union—then, indeed, this day will fail to propitiate tho assistance of tho M- st High. We must render ourselves deserving of it, by proferringto in dividual promotion national honor, hutioual unity, na tional peace. SVe must counsel the renunciation of all preconceived notions for tlio preservation of this palladium of human Tight?, and the repudiation of nil doctrines subversive Of the principles of the Declaration of Dulependcnce. Then this day will be the opening of a new era—to America— and fruitful of joy to the whole human race. The ceremonies concluded with singing, the entire con gregation participating. 111 this connection we may mention a singular fact, which we have not seen mentioned by auv of our cotom poriuies. Thu day B**t apart by the President of the United States for fasting and prayer fell on the same day (September 26) which ia celebrated by the Hebrews all over the world as the Schemiui hag Grareroth, tho day of the Feast of the Holy Assembly, ?jcing the eighth day Of the Feast of tho Tabernacles. It is most curious, therefore, that yesterday should have been to our Jewish fellow-citizens a day both of feasting and humiliation. Tho Feast of Tabe ruaclcs was one of the three principal festivals among the Hebrews, It commenced on the 15th of tho month Tisri, (cor responding with the 30th of September,) and lasted seven days. At the Spvtiee-sfreet Presbyterian (0. S.) Church, of which Dr. Jones was lately pastor, they had an address from the Rev. T. J. Janeway, D. D., who advocated in eloquent terms the necessity of individual supplication, as well ns individual consecration, to the service of the Almighty. Dr. Janeway referred very feelingly to the trials we were now undergoing, and lie hoped that we might yet be a united people. lie was assisted in the services by the Rev. Messrs. Leo and Bonham, who, in their addresses to tho Mercy Seat, petitioned tho Al mighty to restore ponce, harmony, and good-will, on earth towards men. Referenco \vn* made to the dangers that beset our ?olaier-, and they wero specially committed to the care of 110 whoso eye never sluupeth. Our rulers and governors wero prayed for, that they might have wisdom from on High. The atteudanco here was very good. At the \Vo.-i Spruce-street Presbyterian Church (Dr. Breed’s) tho Rev. Georgo Junkin, I>. D., Into of Wash ington College, preached the same sermon he delivered in Lexington, Virginia, on last fa»t day. The sermon was « very l«*ng- and, it id to say, abounded With patriotic affection and allusions to the Union. As it was known Dr. Junkin was to preach, the peculiar cir cumstances under which he labored tended to insure a large gathering. The Church of the Intercessor, Spring Garden street, was open both morning, afternoon and evening. The services were conducted by the recLor and several assist ants. In all of the Episcopal church** collections were taken up, as recommended by Bishop Potter, towards erecting a memorial edifice to Binhop Bowman. Tito proposed church is to he located in tho vicinity o where ho breathed his last. Quite a handsome sum was collected, which will insure toe speedy erection of the memorial to the memory of tho lamented bishop. At St, Paul 7 # Protestant Episcopal Church, in the afternoon* tboro wan a Union Prayer Meeting, which was very full in numbers, as well as interest. The prayer meeting held at Ransom-street Churck was the scene of much fervency in exhortation and prayer. Various churches were opened iu tho afternoon and evening, and the attendance was much larger than is usual on such occasions. The day was fraught with solemnity, and, iu all our experience, we have no recollection of a day so generally observed to the purpose* for which it was set apt* rt. At the Spruce-street Baptfet Church, owing to the ab sence from tho city of the rector, they had no regular service. A prayer meeting was improvised, in which niiiny of the members participated. The absent pastor, the occasion, and the soldier wore remembered. GENERAL NEWS. Thebe arc many wonderful natural cim osities and antiquated relies to bo found in Ken* tucKy; and ono of tbe most remarkable of them is to bo found in Allon county, on the Tennessee bor der, and seventeen miles from Bowling Green, where a wall of solid limestone, two hundred yards in length, forty feet high, thirty feet at the base, and sis feet wide at tho top, crosses a neck formed by a bend in Brake’s creek, and encloses a penin sula of two hundred acres, elevated one hundred and ten feet above the river. On the top of this natural mound is an area of three acres, enclosed by a wall and a ditch, forming one of the strongest fortresses in tho world. It is not improbable that the fortunes of war may cause this old fortifica tion—built, it is supposed, antecedent to a race of mon who held the country when discovered by Europeans—to bo occupied by a bostilo force, and mado to play a prominent part in this civil contest.

Life in Cnmp Curtin A special cori espondent of The Tm;, writing from Camp Curtin, at Harrisburg, on the 20th inst.i after giviog an interesting description of his journey to the Slnta capita!, via Reading and Lebanon Val ley, Bays: Harrisburg looms up. girdled by that chain of hills, and away off. on yonder Capitol, towering far above all, flics the emblem of our nationality, one country’s flag, proclaiming to the world that the Keystone of the Federal Arch is still loyal to the Union, und still welcoming bonoath its folds the op* pressed of every climo. To camp !To camp! Yes Here I am, standing in the centre of the far-famed Camp Curtin, and a more disagreeable place, on a wet day, X do not wot of. Through some neglect, there is no drain age. and water is allowed to collect in pools, much to the inconvenience of those whose duties call upon them to “stand guard” on each a day. The ground is high enough, and, with n little assistance from the troops, could soon have been made tenable. Yet, until tho thing becomes an nctunl bore and insufferable, nobody here would think of moving in the matter. The tents are habitable, and the soldier in his canvas bouso, enjoys himself on such a day as this as bis fancy may dictate, cr inclination load, h'or the study of mankind, commend the philosopher to the caiup. Here he can revel in unravelling the mysteries of what constitutes the varieties and anti podes in human nature. Not having any preten sions that way, I cannot furnish you with a ohart of the varied accomplishments of suoh a large body of men. Hut I am oftentimes amused when the va rious peculiarities of certain individuals devolop themselves. One is never so well off as when in the nrma of Solus: another hardly finishes breakfast —very often that of his chum, too—before he oom plains of hunger, while the banjo, dance, and cards have their several votaries. It is astonishing what good humor prevails. Y r ou seldom hear an angry word, and never witness a blow —this, too, from raw recruits, who have never as yet tasted the “bitter sweets” of the guard house. One feeling appears to actuate all, and that is to raise that starry banner from out tho dust, and wipe out the disgrace of Hull Run. I doubt if any army ever raißed—saTO our Revolutionary sires— ever presented such u harmonious spectacle as that congregated at Washington and other points. Rum at one time threatened evil. Generals Wool, Mo- Clellon, and Banks have throttled that, and a more orderly, well-behaved, and courteous set of men, I do not think eould be gathered than those who have tarried at Curtin within tho IHst few weeks. Taste displays itself in decoration. A follow passed me a moment ago, whoso uniform reminds me of the “coat of many colors ” he has as many dovices hanging from his left breast ns a field mar shal, and yet, while ho is swelling with a conscious ness of his own superiority, he is a private who, perhaps, never wandered twenty miles from the homestend in his life before. Some of your readers would perhaps like to fol low me on a silent tramp at midnight. “G et up! ” said a rough voice in a kindly tone, accompanying it with a hearty shake, (which I recognized as Captain Bill Diehl, who oarries an ounce of Mexi can lead in his shoulder.) Rubbing my eyes and peering out in tho darkness, I was told to make my toilet in a hurry. YYhewhow the wind whistled from off the spurs of those mountains that surround the camp! It made overcoats more pre cious than ice is at present to a Secessionist. We hardly reached the outposts, floundering in tho mud, until wo were arrested with a “ Who comes there ?” at the same time charging bayonet. “ Of ficer of the day,” was the reply. “Advance, officer of theday, and give the countersign,” was the response. This is done by that offioer walking forward and whispering in the ear of the guardian of safety the magic word, which is a key-note of authority. Disagreeable as the night was, or rather morning, tho timo passed quickly ns wc marched a distance of two or three miles. On this duty very little conversation is indulged in, and that mostly at a distance from the sentries. This performance is gone through with every night, and in the oase of' colonel liko (now Gane rals) Frank Patterson and Stone, of the United States army, who love their profession, it is followed up individually, independent of the rounds of the proper officers. Unceasing vigilance is necessary, as the neglect of one sentry to perform liis duty might bring tribulation, death, and dis grace upon the heads of thousands. A sentinel should have no excuse. If unwell, he is not asked to go out; but when out, his own safety and that of his comrades should keep him wide awako, if not ticking, C. H. Q. PHILADELPHIA BOARD OP TRADE. ABRAHAM J.
