SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1861.
RELIGIOUS,
Elocution m the Pnlpit—No. 1.
hV GRAVBEARD.
Mhy is the art of elocution almost wholly nc
fik'lted in our institutions of learning? Wo have,
probably, in this country more men competent to
speak in public with credit to themselves than are
to be found in any other, and yot, if we except the
theatrical, not one of the professions even pretends,
methodically, to cultivate this invaluable art. That
we have here and there, in onr legislative halls, at
the bar, and on tbe rostrum, men who aye r<uiP^
vivqacm, i: true ; but they are eloquent naturally.
Not that eloquence loses anything for being natural;
but what we insist is, that there are scores of effective
orators lost to ue purely for the want of proper train
ing. Because a Patrick Henry was bom an orator,
and a Webster mastered the art by giving-tjte
powers of his great mind io the subject from boy
hood, and a Demosthenes, in obedience to an innate
passion, overcame the natural obstructions of his
speech by making the sea his auditor, is no roiuon
that tbe sublime gift of oratory cannot bo irn purled,
or, at least, vastly improved, by proper instructive?.
For some cause or other, the want of Buch in
struction is more glaring in the pulpit than in either
the rostrum or the forum. What cultivated ear iias
not been pained by the manner in which some clergy
men read the Scriptures, and even their own careful
ly-written sermons? This, in a profession where
public speaking constitutes so conspicuous a part, and
in which there is no lack of subjects to enkindle in.
the prcacher’B mind the fire of natural eloquoflee,
is inexcusable. It is, of course, not denied that we
have in thetwo hundred and forty sovon chnrdhes
in Philadelphia some few, not only goed, but Veiy
superior readers—instance, among others, Dr. Ste
vens, the newly-elected assistant Bishop of this dio
cese—hut is it not true that the great mass of our
preachers have yet to learnhow to place the emphasis,
and give (he proper accent to each word, and
how to vary the voice according to the' na
ture of the sentence ? It is said that the various
collections of hymns in common use make their au
thors responsible for a great deal of hod poetry; but
surely the rendering of them ordinarily makes the
Clergymen who read them responsible for still
worse elocution. The effect of good reading can
hardly be overestimated. One of the grandest and
most elevating compositions we have ever heard
was a hymn read by Dr. George W. Bcthuno— r
well known in this city, now a resident oi New
York—which we had heard frequently before
without observing in it- any peculiar merit, and the
same lines mouthed and whined in the indifferent
Style of another would probably not have attracted
Our attention then. In a good dogree this same
criticism applies to church singing. We jiave
heard choirs so jumble sound and syllable that,
for all the distinguishable difference, the words they
sang might as well have been Chinese as English.
From our own observation, we incline to the
opinion that the reading in Episcopal ohurches
averages better than in most other denominations.
There is some reason for this. Their clergy are,
as a general thing, well educated; they are re
quired 'to repeat tbe same forms, in a measure, at
every service, the phraseology, of which is of so
smooth and elevated a type that hearing- impro
perly read once ought to enable a clergyman of
fair imitative powers to read it decently well him
self; yet, even this is not unfrequentiy read with
an Utter want of the devotion, emphasis, and fer
vency required by the sense.
It may be claimed without vanity, however, that
we have better readers and speakers in the Ameri
can pulpit than they have in England, if we may
judge from the defects of their representatives! who
occasionally visit us. For a wonder, ting-defect is
beginning to attract attention among themselves.
Among other indications of this, we have the fact
that the Rev. Dr. Wigram, Bishop of Rochester,
has lately issued an order, that every candidate for
holy orders in his diocese shall produce ((certificate
to the effect that “ he has powers of voice sufficient
for his public ministrations, that he has no impedi
ment or hesitation in his speech, and that his man
ner Of reading is not heavy or monotonous, bnt
such as is well fitted for the sacred (unctions he

The two opposite extremes in pulpit oratory in
this country- are cold, passionless monotony, ai the
one hand—usually found among men of mosi cali
bre—and a routing disregard of the proprieties of
the sacred desk, on the other. There are instances,
it is true, in which clergymen of mean elocutionary
powers exert great influence over their audifuces.
Of this class, we believe, Chalmers was a 3viking
example; for, although he was one of the mist ef
fective preachers in modern times, his appearance
was not commanding, and his gestures are to
have been awkward, his voice bad, and his iccent
frightful. The secret of his greatness lay i> Ins
intellectual power, and that earnestness, vhicb,
after all, either makes or mars the preacher. There
was a world of truth in the reply of Garrik, the
comedian, to the clergyman who wished ulmew
why audiences were affected to tears by ficitious
acting upon the stege, whilst congregationsat in
their pews unmoved by the great truths )f the
Gospel. Garrick’s reply was— 11 We speak ir fif
tion as though it were truth; whilst you uttft your
truth as if it were fiction. ”
The habit of what is called “ close read g” is
well nigh fatal to the usefulness of some pre bets,
whose sermons read well enough in print. I; proof
of this, we know of at least one instance in phich
the loss of sight, and consequent inability tread,
contributed to a preacher’s power. This cie oc
curred in New England some years ago. Aninis
ter who had the reputation among bis pensioners
of never having rose above respectable dutiUss in
the pulpit, soon after commencing his sermlone
Sunday morning, was seized with partial blizpess.
His manuscript was a blank to him. Hesitiing a
moment what he should do, he resolved to fust in.
Gad and the power of an apology to his
tion at the close of the services. He preceded,
thinking his matter as he spoke, but was sdn con
scious that he was delivering an entirely dferent
sermon from the one be had written. Aflr con
cluding, with his vision still dimmed, he Ift the
pulpit, and was about to explain the causcof his
supposed failure, but was. anticipated by to ©n
gratulations of his auditors upon having so hr itr
passod himself that they were anxious to kiowthe
reason for it! ]
But ire have not space to continue thfesibjeet
further at present. If our clergymen willini'ove
their elocution, they will find it much' mon tan a
useless ornament. It will give to them t fewer
which, without it, they can never hope tojpojess.
Of course, they require instruction to mate item''
proficient, and that by living example. Jour
theologioal institutions, the provisions gad! for
imparting this important branch are eithet enirely
iguured, or utterly inadequate, being, in bo lain,
merely lectures upon the subject, or
employment of an elocutionist at the opian t the
student, and at an oxtra expense. j j-
In England, the few good readers in he Julpit
havo not been above taking lessons frorumttibora
of the dramatic profession. Richard Jejes, ailed
“gentleman Jones " —a retired actor—is 8d to
have made for himself a large income, h Ljdon,
by teaching English clergymen howto teaq We
care not how the art is acquired. If it a be
done more thdirbuglily by taking iustructiojfrom
actors than from persons in any other prdsion,
we see nothing in this to object to. The centric
Rowland Hill ones said, he would gladly aept a
contribution for the missionary cause frj 'the
devil. The defective point in our theologians ti*
tutions here referred to ought to be remedih and
the denomination or individual who will ire in

Zagnnyi’s Charge at Springfield.
The St. Louis Democrat says
Many will regard the recent daring exploit of
Major Zfigonyi and his intrepid band as savoring
considerably of rashness. Were it not that the in
telligence is clearly authentic, being officially trans
mitted, it might well be doubted. The met un
questionably is, however, that a force of only one
hundred and fifty dragoons deliberately charged
upon full fourteen times their number of infantry
and completely routed them. This, too, when the.
latter had been opportunely apprised of their
enemies’ approach, and were drawn up in battle
array to receive them! It is further noticeable
that Zagonyi was under no necessity of incurring
the peril of such odds against him, and could hono
rably have refrained from the attack. The de
tailed account of this extraordinary affair places
the signal valor of the assailants in a still stronger
light.
The rebel forces had been carefully posted on a
commanding elevation, and so disposed that they
were accessible only by charging down a narrow
lane and levelling a high fence, directly under hos
tile fire. Thus far. the war has furnished no- in
stance of more dauntless bravery. The rout of the
amazed rebels was continued until SpriDgfield was ;
again cleared of them, and the stars and stripes- ;
floated as of old from the court-house of that much- j
abused town. Night- of course, made it requisite
that the little baud of viotors should seek a place i
of secure repose; but there is no doubt that on the
next day (Saturday) the success was thoroughly
followed up by a force amply sufficient to restore
assured tranquillity to the city.
This briiUpst charge is said to have cost the
Guard a loss of fifteen killed and a number
wounded. The achievement is significant as an il
lustration of (he spirit of Fremont’s men.

signal gup WAS fired from the flagghip, and a few
moments after the entire Sect of nearly eighty ves

will meet the fleet in a day ot two. The moving
off of the noble frigate Wabash, having on board
the able Commodore S. F Dupont and Gen. Sher

the rebels began their retreat, qlosely followed by

news of the battle had! spread throughout tho
country, and the sturdy farmers roused themselves
to keep their promise to 1 Colonel Garrard,' “You
start ’em,” they said to him. “and we’ll keep’em
going.” Up to Friday night, the date of the letter
giving this information, the news of tbe retreating
army had come in all of one character, and detail

with Kentucky sharpshooters to shoot the slow-fly

every bush, nnd hill, nnd tree, unblock, they were
firing on the retreating rebels. The execution they
must haTC done cannot but be terrible. The letter
indicated says the loss of the rebels-, in. the retreat

A correspondent of-thei/eraW. writing froimßal-
timore, under dateof.Ofet. 30, says:
I have learned to-day acme interesting nows from.
Richmond, the dates-being up to Menday last, the
28th inst. During the whole of the preceding week:
the trains of ears which loft Richmond for the
Korth were loaded, with a variety of stores for
General Johnston’s army at Manassas. Among
them were blankets, woollen clothing, shoes, both,
of canvas and leather, flannel or woollen shirts,
woollen socks (homemade), bacon, potatoes, salt,
and various other articles. The boards and:lunib»nJ
for the construction of. hnts for the soldiers h£ r
been sent up a week or two before. It was-ander
stood at Richmond that) Johnston’s army would
spend the winter in their present position, or.-at
least until the Upper Potomac froze over. What
the precise signification of that expression was.
my informant was, unable to ascertain, He
understood it to have reference to- military
movements across the- Potomac, on the Mary
land side, in the direction of Corn’s Ford; and
Rockville.. It is' evident) that all the stories of des
titution or suffering. on the part of any portion, of
Johnston’s army- are totally unfounded; in truth.
Hot only are they abundantly, supplied with, arms;
and munitions of warnot only have they formed
their whole line from Leesburg or Goose creek to
Frederioksburg, but they are well provided; with
provisions and with, facilities for cooking them;pro
perly. The people- o£ the Southern States- from,
which those regiments- come, and particularly the
people of Virginia, appreciate the services that this
army has rendered: to. the South, in preserving Vir
ginia from invasion for six. months, and have seen
mat they have wanted for nothing. The-railroads
from the South have afforded a speedy means of
carrying to them, supplies of all kinds,, and 'thus
they have got along so far pretty comfortably..
The detachment of 50,000 troops of General
Johnston’s army, which was withdrawn from. Ma
nassas about the end of September (and which it
was supposed had gone to Kentucky to reinforce
General Buckner), only went as far as Abingdon
and Chattanooga, between which points 20,000 of
them now remain. The object of this movement
was to protect the line of the Virginia and Tennes
see Railroad, the great avenue of communication
between Virginia and the rest of the Southern
States, which it was supposed, was seriously threat
ened at that time. The preservation of this rail
road is as vital, to the cauao of secession & the spinal
cord is to the life of a human being. If the Union
men of East Tennessee or of Western Virginia had
succeeded in destroying completely a few miles, of
this road, it would nave broken the back of tho re
bellion. Jeff Davis understands this, and hence,
na Boon 99 he WAS satisfied,. from personal inspec
tion, that tho tine of the Bull Run defences could be
held with 160,000, treops, he detaohed' the remain
ing 60 J)00 down th&road. 20,069 of them are thus
stationed in Eastern Tennessee, where the greatest
danger was apprehended, while! 30,000 were sent
up to the Cumberland Gap, to reinforce the Ken
tucky rebels.
General Mngtuder w»s still at Yorktown when
my informant left Richmond. He hud strongly
fortified that place and Big Bethel, and it was un
derstood that as soon ns the Federal fleet left Fort
ress Monro* he would attack Newport Nows.

General Arthur : Sir —We have had our first'
fight. It was a terrible one for the enemy. W e lost
nine men—wounded, seven; missing, ten —out of
what fewl had with me. You must know my com-'
panions are scattered about. I have with me fife
companies, numbering three hundred and sixty, of
which fifty forty-seven detailed on aer-'-
vice at tho fort, and about seventy on guard that
■light.' We have to watch a mile of the beach, and
three-fourthsof a mile in front of our encampment.
The island is three-fourths of a mile wide at this
point. We had one hundred and thirty-tjjffg piOQ
to turn out.
Os the morning of the 9th instant, at half post
three o’clock, the enemy attacked us in three
columns, commencing by attacking with small par
ties oi twenty or thirty men every sentinel. Two
companies charged the picket-tent,, the threo
bodies, numbering in all two thousand men, slmui
taneously firing volleys of musketry into the hos
pital and guard-house. We were out and formed
in quick time. The sentinels, the guard, and of
ficers came running in. They had fought retreat
ing. until overpowered, killing quite a number of
them. Several of our pickets were killed and
wounded. Private W. Scott deliberately waited
until one eolumn was within ten feet of him, and
then shot the commanding officer, Captain Brad
ford. In an instant after, we were formed, front
ing, as I supposed, the enemy. It was so dark that
I could not discover a man ten feet off, We were
fired into from three sides. I had jnst sent out
Captain Harelton with nis company to the front
as skirmishers, and Captain Du fly with twenty
men to the left flank, to endeavor to find />ut
the whereabouts of the enemy, and draw their
fire, when bang! we got it from gjj sides, By
companies and file I wheeled my men into line
to the left and returned the fire. At this moment
a blaze arose. The tent 3 were all on fire; tho
quartermaster’s and commission store or building
was also on fire, all at onetime. The distance
from the camp to the commission* building is an
eighth of a mile. We could then sec ofir enemy,
for the first time, in dense masses, in the eentre of
our camp and extended along the ridge. Com
pauies were seen moving across the ridges, endeavor
ing to surround us. t A large body of men w?rc
dklcA <ly&w& ttj> ike oanp, firing into our
Camp and no, setting fire to everything. We re
tired behind the first ridge towards the sea, halted,
and faced the enemy. I had but sixty men with
hie. I sent out for the rest of my men and officers,
bnt could not find them. Stragglers came in and
reported that Lieutenant Colonel Creighton, Cap
tains Harelton, Huherer, Hotrel, and Lieutenant
Silloway had retired towards the fort. On hearing
this, I said to my few men; “We will be cut off;
they are trying to snrround ns; we are too few to
fight so many,” and they gradually, being in good
order, moved towards the beach on to the first
battory, where we halted and rested a few mo
ments. We then, as daylight appeared, marched
in chase of the enemy. Until this time I heard no
news of my men or that of the regulars. I then
learned from Major Towen that several companies
were in chase of the enemy. We hurried up,
some seven miles, and arrived a few moments too
iate at the place where the enemy were getting
slaughtered by our men while they were endeavor
ing to embark. There were three steamboats and
three barges. The enemy lost in killed and
wounded about five hundred men, General An
derson led. them on. Their war cry was, “Death
to Wilson. No quarter to Wilson’s Zouaves.”
$5,000 wa» the reward for him, dead or alive. Ail
our loss is about twenty killed, fifteen wounded,
and twenty prisoners.
Our new clothes are all destroyed. I have lost
everything I bad; my men also- They burned us
out completely. Oar papers and booksare burned.
My commission is safe. I sent t» the post office
the dny before the fight. My men did well. They
have smelt- gunpowder—now they are all right. Wa
commence the fight to-morrow. They have 12,000
men. They are exhibiting my hair and head in
Pensacola. The reward is already claimed; also an
old flag which I nailed to the flagstaff on the
Fourth of July, which has been, hanging there ever
sinoo;; nothing left, however, but the stars. The
ladies have cut it up in pieoes, and hare it pinned
on their bosoms as a trophy. Every one in Pensa
cola has my sword and uniform.. I must have had
a large quantity of hair, plenty of swords and .uni
forms. They say if I was to be taken alive I was
to be put in a cage and exhibited.
. Yesterday five Americans and two ladies escaped
from Pensacola, and gave us-all the news of how
they describe the terrible victory. We lay npon
our arms every night. I have slept hot very little
this week. I don’t feel weih. I have got the diar
rhoea.. We will want 800 uniforms.
Your obedient servant, WIIMAM WILSOH,
Colonel commanding.
The Rebel Camp ah Greenbrier again
Attacked—The Rebel Estimate of the
Loss in a Previous Bbgagement.
A letter to the CincmnatL. Times, dated Camp
Summit, Cheat Mountain Bass, (Western Virginia,)
October 20, says:
Since our last fight here, wo have hod several
skirmishes, which have proven, destructive to the
rebels, as they have lost six killed, several wounded,
and one taken prisoner, while our loss has been
nothing.
' On the 14th, company G, Twenty-fourth Ohio Regi
ment, and eight other companies, went to Green
brier to reconnoitre.. They met the rebel piokets,
and, after a little skirmishing, succeeded in running
them into camp, without any loss on either side.
Company G proceeded down the road to an old
bouse, within five hundred yards of their entrench
ments, but the dastardly cowards dared not fire
upon them. They returned early in the evening,
bringing with them a prisoner—a Hungarian by
birth. A copy of the Richmond Enquirer, of the
7th inst., was found in bis.pocket, containing an ac
count of the late hattlo at Greenbrier. After giv
ing a long, detailed, account of the fight, bravery of
their men and officers, 40., they wind up by giving
an estimate of the loss, on each side, as follows:
“ Entire loss of the Federalists, one thousand ;
loss of the Confederates, five hundred and sixty. ”
They estimate our. loss rather too high. Our en
tire loss was only twenty-three, including killed
and wounded.
, On the 19th instant,. Company H, Twenty-fourth
Ohio regiment, and. several ether companies, were
sent out to reconnoitre the rebel camp. At noon
the; mat a luge bod; of rebels, nearly equal in
number. tQ theirs- The; immediately commenced
firing, and in a half hour the rebels were repulsed,
with a loss of seven killed and as man; wounded.
Our men did not Lose a man, nor was there a single
mamwounded..
Gun. Chas. F. Havelock,
Late of the British army, and brother of the Gen.
Havelock whose name is associated with the East
Indian rebellion, arrived Thursday in the Arago,
and is now occupying apartments at the Fifth-avc,
nue Hotel. It is rumored that he intends offering
his seryiWS to our Gorerhment in tho present
crisis.

It is believed that there will be nows fronii the

Gen. Scott to Retire.
The New York Tribune says that Gen. Scott will
go to Hew York on Saturday mornlm-j in the six,

One of the New Mississippi Gunboats
Launched at Mound City.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican,
writing from'Cape Girardeau, under date of October
27, soys:
A few days ago X attended the launch of the first
of the gunboats building at Mound City. The ves
sel of war floated on the water agreeably to expec
tation, and will be at once eovored with iron plates.
It drew three feet and one inch forward, and four
and a half feet aft —will draw six when completed.
Commodore Graham, the popular commander of
Government steamers at Cairo, took a large party
of both notables and civilians to witness the cere
mony of the launch. Among others present was
Gen. McDougal, Senator from California, and Judge
Law. The now craft was named the Mound City,
and. christened by the breaking of a bottle of Ohio
river water upon her bow, by Miss Fids Freeman,
« young lady of fourteen, who has tffO brother* in
the Secession army, but is herself very patriotic. It
is, I think, doubtful if the last of November will
witness the completion of the gunboat fleet. Vt.
