The Troubles Caused by Secession. In addition to the difficulties that war always bring* upon a country , tee. labor , at this time, pressure, from the sale of all productions for exportation being suspended. Our banks are banks both of discount and circula tion. and practically they hold the only circulating msdiira. They suspended the redemption of thoir bills issued. ThcLegislaturelegalizod that suspen sion. Then, if their issues are contracted, and cir culation withdrawn, the difficulty of paying debts and meeting taxation becomes greatly increased. It 'would teem that) under such circumstances, where the Legislature has interposed to relieve the banks from the obligation to pay their notes, some course ought to be adopted, if consistent with safe precedent, to protect the people also from the tem porary difficulties by which we are surrounded. Ail tampering, of nil If bind, with produce by Go vern went, in. any shape or form, is generally unwise and unjust. If anything of the Lind is ever to be done, let i t be done by the State Govern anents rather than by the General or Confederate Government,far allpoieernatexpresslygrauted is referred to the States. The exercise by the Confede rate Government ofany power not expressly grant ed isnot only withoutauthority, but, on so vital a point, it is dangerous, as calcula.ted.Mf habitually acted upon, to affect deeply the distribution of wealth and the interests of protective labor. If anything is done, it should be done by the States; and I suggest that, perhaps, as we have a State in stitution, it might be used to advance on produce one half of its raluo, upon receipts for the same be ing deposited, with a view to glee a Hen to secure the amount advanced first, to the exclusion of all other claims. Public policy will require that you should continue to legalise the suspension of the banks. This continuation might be made upon certain con ditions resting iipoii similar advances to bo made from all the banks. General Beauregard at Issue with his Su- penors, [From the Charleston Mercury.] Tf e look upon the general order of General Beau regard, upon the victory of General Evans, as one of the most significant documents which have ap peared since the war began. It is not merely a congratulation and memorial of a victory, but it is an intentional eulogy upon a policy— a policy ot' attack; and a condemnation also of a policy—n policy of retreat and defence. This order, coupled with the introduction of his plan of an active, aggressive campaign into Maryland, and the taking or Washington, which the President rejected, into his report of the battle of Manassas, are clear mani festations of a of the defensive policy of the Confederate State*. In this order, he says to the army; “ Under the inspiration of a just cause, defending all we hold dear on earth, or worth living for. and with the merci ful aid of the God of Buttles, we can and mum drive our invaders from the soil of Virginia, de spite their numbers and their long-accumulated war equipage, ” That his army, by this victory, must “ be assured of their ability to cope success fully with the foe arrayed against them, in what* ever force he may offer battle and that - no odds must discourage or make them doubtful of victory. M When it is remembered that General Brans was ordered to retreat should the enemy ap pear in force, and that, instead of rebuke, General Beauregard sends forth this order to the whole army, praistog and approving of his attacking the enemy, there can be no doubt of his views and opinions. He does not shrink from il odds’* on the Potomac. He does not doubt his ability with his army u to cope successfully with the foe/’ He thinks that his army ts can and must drive our iti vadenfrom the soil of Virginia.” If left to his discretion, would he not long ago have advanced on the enemy ? If President Davis hesitates to allow tho report of the battle of Manassas to be printed, what will he do wiih this order ? We fear that Gen. Bean wgtw? may sow have to follow the c.rampfe of Ge?i.

From Gen* Stone’s Command, ■Washington, Nov. 15.—A letter, dated to day, at camp, at Muddy Branch, says that the rebel pickets have been visible for several nights past, opposite the track lying between the Seneca and Muddy Branch, but the rebels are not to be seen during the day. It is believed that there are no strong bodies nearer than Leesburg. Everything was quiet along General Stone’s command yesterday and last night. The river pickets of the two contending armies have apparently abated the bitter feeling aroused by the Ball’s Bluff affair, and hold agreeable con versation with one another across the river. No leaden compliments have been exchanged for somo time past. The late high water hna caused several breaks in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Captain Za racher's company, of the Pennsylvania Twenty ninth, and others, are now engaged in making re- pairs near Seneca. Li- William S. Eing, medical director of this division, reports the general health of his charge as sensibly improved within the last week. The Trophies from South Carolina—Es tablishment of a Naval Depot at Tort Royal. The trophies from Port Eoyal have been appor tioned between the Navy Department and the Washington navy yard. The two cannon have been taken to the navy yard, to occupy places alongside of the-trophies of the Mexican war, which meet the eye of every visitor as soon as he enters the premises. They arc not, as has been represented, “ rifled guns, of the newest and most approved patterns,” but old-fashioned, smooth bore field pieces, of European manufacture. Over the trumpl)- there is engraved a crown, indicating that they are colonial guns. They bear date 1803. Around the rim ot the breech, the words 11 South Carolina ” are ruaely engraved. . The flags arc displayed at the Navy Department. One is a kouth Carolina State flag, another a flag of the rebel Confederacy, and the ether .he Stars and Stripes that was first set upon the soil of South Carolina siDCe the rebellion. The State flag of South Carolina is composed of blue and white verti cal stripes. In the place of the union there is a blue ground, with two white Palmetto trees, and a white rising moon between them, surmounted by fifteen white stars. The flug of the Southern Con federacy consists of three broad stripes —one white and two red —with a blue union, upon which are eleven stars. These trophies attract a great deal of attention, coming as thoy do from South Carolina, the fomenter of ail our domestic difficulties. They are more highly prized than if they had been brought from any other of the rebel States. Orders were despatched te-day to New York for tho preparation of lumber for the construction of buildings for a naval depot at Fort Royal for the manufacture of all kinds of machinery for naval and other purposes, also to despatch at once storeships, which are to he permanently stationed at that point. The Government intends, in fact, to establish there a permanent depot for naval and military purposes. Tbe Burning of Guyandotte—lnteresting Particulars—The Union Troops Exaspe rated—The Soldiers could not be Re strained—Women and Children Esca ping from the Flames. [Conesreufeicc of tho Cincinnati Gazette.] Irostos, Ohio, Nov. 11. Col. William Bolles landed here from the steamer liberty, and from him I learned the following par ticulars of the Guyandotte disaster: Colonel William Bolles, of the Second Virginia Cavalry, and Major Stewart, of Genera! Rosecraos’ Body-Guard, came down on the Liberty Sunday night, and when near Guyandotte, at 1(5 o'clock, learned some particulars of the fight there, and re turned to Point Pleasant. Col. Lightbum, in com mand of the regiment at that place, immediately telegraphed to General Rosucrans for permission to move with a part of his command to Guyandotte; but, receiving no reply in season, took the responsi bility, and embarked with four companies and ono i piece of artillery on the Empire City. Colonel ! Bolles and Major Stewart returned on the Liberty, j and when near Guyandotte saw the steamer Boston at tho landing and the town in flames. The rebels, after the capture of Whaley and his men, left in the night or very early in the morning. The Boston, with Colonel Zeigler, left, and about one hundred men reached Guyandotte at 8 or 9 o’clock. Zeigler’s men were so exasperated that they fired the town, and when Col, Bolles arrived women and children were turned into the street, jumping fern the windows to escape the flames, while those who should have been their protectors were plundering their property. Col. Bolles and Major Stewart sought Col. Zeigler, and told him “ this work of destruction must be stopped.” lie said he had tried, but could not control the men. But Col. Bolles and Major Stewart, by the sternest commands and threats, finally made them pause, and it is hoped a part of the town may be saved from the flames. Colonel Bollee says Whaley ia not killed, but a prisoner. The rebels -were supposed to be under the command of Captain Herrington or Harrington, and numbered some soven or eight hundred mounted men. The Union forces had no pickets out, and were surrounded before they were aware of the presence of the enemy. A part of them were fit ehuroh, and a volley ffRS fired into it, Killing some and wounding others. Some six Union men were killed, others wounded, some escaped, and pro bably sixty or seventy taken prisoners. One man from this place, A. T. Bratten, escaped by conceal ing himself under a house. I have not learned the names of any of the killed or wounded* The steamer Boston is now landing here, and if she re mains long enough I will send you such further par ticulars as I may learn. Iroston, 5 o’clock P. M, From Mr. T. Johnson, of the steamer Boston, I learn a few more particulars in regard to the con dition of affairs at Guyandotte. ilo thought the town would probably be wholly consnmed. About forty of Captain Winter’s company of cavalry, be longing to Zeigler'a regiment, were at Guyandotte at the time of the attack, and all thoir horses and arms were captured, and probably more than half of the men killed or taken prisoners. It is sup posed they did most of the fighting in resisting the assailants. Captain Bailey, of Portsmouth, who was expecting to be lieutenant colonel of Whaley’s regiment, was wounded in the chin and taken pri soner. Ur. John Morris, of this place, the surgeon is supposed to be a prisoner, as ho has not been seen or heard from. The steamer Boston brought down six or eight prisoners, among them J. T. Ilite and Bumgartner, the hotel keeper. I have just learned that the rebel forces were in command of Jenkins. C. B- The Evidence of Tilings Ifnseen. It is very evident that ail the recent movements of the army are the result of a plan, one which has long been kept in view, to which all details have been made to converge though at the expense of minor disasters, and which, after long and thorough pre paration, is now in process of vigorous execution. The attack on Port Royal, the battle of Pikston, the march on Cumberland Gap, the feint against Buckner at BowliDg GreoD, to keep him employed, and the burning of the bridges in Eastern Tennes see, are all parts, and necessary ones, of a grand scheme projected at Washington, and a portion of which yet remains to he executed on the Potomac. The attack on Belmont and Columbus was intended to be a pact of the same grand movement, and it is the only portion of the programme which has so far failed, though the result is creditable to our arms. The return of General Hunter to St. Bonis, and the onnonneement that the splendid army in Mis souri is to be made use of in Kentucky, is signifi coat as showing n general plan of the whole cam paign, something which those who credit no evi dence of things unseen deemed wanting hereto fore. This, doubtless*, ivns inevitable, as the ttotU for the past six months has been one of prepara tion; hut it is obvious now that nil the recent movements of the army hnvo been inspired by a master mind- Some portions of this great scheme jnny fail. but tho country cun rest assured thnt. as a whole, it will be successful. B-It is well known that parties from Eastern Ten nessee some time since offered to destroy the rail roads and bridges to harass (he rebels, but thev wees told to wait until the weed was given them. They hare now acted in concert with tho Govern ment, and in furtherance of its plans. We may, therefore, soon expect to hear stirring news from Kentucky. There is a relationship between the taking of Beaufort and the march toward Eastern Tennessee now little suspected, but whieli will be developed as the campaign progresses. Oue tiling is very certain—going into winter quarters will be postponed till the winter of 1862-3. Great Product of Arms at Springfield. While at Springfield. Mass., the Secretary of War was gratified to find that tbe product of the arsenal at that place had been increased from 800 muskets per month to 6,900 in tho month of October, and ho was delighted to express his conviction that from the increase of machinery which had been mnde, during the present month of November 10,000 would be made. Trade with the South Within two or three days Senator Simmons, of lthcde island, proposes to takoja coasting voyage in the schooner Charity, which he has recently purchased at l’rovidenoe. She is loaded with a cargo of salt, shoes, and other articles, supposed to be to the taste and needs of the loyal men of tho South, who will have an opportunity of filling hor with a return freight of cotton. Tho Senator will join his vessel at Annapolis or Fortress Monroe, where, it is understood, she will reeeive eonrtiy, Should the first voyage prove successful, others of a similar character will be mnde Gen. Burnside's Division. The following is the composition, as far as arrived, of Gen. Burnside s Division, now stationed In and around Annapolis: 25th Massachusetts Regiment. Col. Upton. 271 h Massachusetts Regiment. Cul. Lee. 10th Connecticut Regiment, Col. Russell. Sth Connecticut Regiment. 51st New York Regiment, Col. Forrere. 2;>d Massachusetts Regiment, Col.

General Grant's official Report of the liattle at Belmont. Cairo, Nov. 12.—The following is Gen. Grant's official report of the Belmont buttle • On the evening of the Oth instant I left this place with 2.850 men. of all arms, to make a rodonuote sance towards Columbus. The object of the expe dition was to prevent the enemy from sending out reinforcements to Prico’s army in Missouri, and also from cutting off two small columns that I had been directed to send out from this place and Cape G[- i‘fii‘deauj in pursuit of Jeff. Thompson. Know* ing tbal Columbus was strongly garrisoned, I asked Gen. Smith, commanding at Paducah, Ky., to make demonstrations in that direction. He did so. by ordering a small force to Mayfield, and ano ther in tbe direction of Columbus; not to approach nearer, however, than twelve or fifteen miles. I also sent a small force on the Kentucky side, with orders not to approach nearer than Elliott's Mills, some twelve miles from Columbus. The expedi tion under my immediate command was stopped about ninemiles below here, on the Kentucky snore, and remained until morning. All this served to distract the enemy, and led bizu to think he was to be attacked in his strongly-fortified position. At daylight we proceeded down the river, to a point just out of range of the rebels’ guns, and de barked on the Missouri shore. From here the troops were marched by a flank for about one mile towards Belmont, and then drawn up in line. Ono battalion having been left as .a reserve near the transports, two companies from each regiment, five skeletons in number, were then thrown out as skir mishers, to ascertain the position of tbe enemy. It was but & few minutes before wc met him, inti a general engagement ensued. The balance of my forces, with the exception of the reserve, was then thrown forward, all as skirmishers, and the enemy driven baek to their enc&mpmentonthe river bank, a distance of over two miles. Here they had strengthened their position by felling the timber for several hundred yards around their caiap. and making a sort of abattis. Our men charged through this, driving the enemy over t-lifi bank into the transports in quick time, leaving us in possession of everything not exceedingly portable. Belmont is on low ground, and every part of it commanded by the guns on tho opposite shore, and, of course, could nob be held for a single hour after the enemy be came aware of the withdrawal of their troops. Having no wagons, I could not move any of the captured property ; consequently, I gave orders for its destruction. Their tents, blankets, &c., were set on fire, and we retired, taking their artillery with ns; two pieces being drawn by hand* and one by an Inefficient team, were spiked and left in the woods, bringing two to this place. Before getting fairly under way, the enemy made his appearance again, and attempted to sur round u*. Our troops were not in the least dis couraged, but charged on tho enemy. and again de feated him. Our loss was about cighty-fivo killed, one hundred and fifty wounded, many of them slightly, and about an equal number missing— nearly all the missing from tho lowa regiment, which behaved with great gallantry, and suffered more severely than any other troops. I have not been able to put in the reports from sub-command ers, but will forward them as soon as received. All the troops behaved with much gallantry, much of which is to be attributed to the coolness and presence of mind of thcofficers, particularly thecolonels. Gen. McClemand was in the midst of danger throughout the engagement, and displayed both Coolft&U and judgment. His horse was twice shot. My horse was also shot under me. To my staff, Capts. Rawlins, Logan, and Hillyev, volunteer aids, Capts. Hatch and Graham. I am much indebted for the assistance they gave. Col. Webster, acting chief engineer, also accompanied me, and displayed highly soldier* like qualities. Col. Dougherty, of the Twenty-Se cond Illinois Yolunteers, was three times wounded and taken prisoner. The Seventh lowa Regiment lost their lieutenant colonel killed, and thoir colonel and major severely wounded. Tbe reports to be forwarded will detail more fully the particulars of our loss. Surgeon Printon was in the field during the en tire engagement, and displayed great ability and efficiency in providing for the wounded, and orga nizing the medical corps. The gunboats Tyler and Captains Walker fliid Slembel, U. S. N. commanding, con voyed the expedition, and rendered efficient ser vice. Immediately upon our landing they engaged the enemy’s batteries, and protected our transports throughout. For particulars see accompanying re port of Capt. Walker. I am. sir. very respectfully, your obedient ser vant, U. S. Grant, Brigadier General Commanding. A PULPIT SKETCH r.Y GRAYRKAHD. Rev. J. S. Willis 7 Pastor of Tabernacle OT. E. Church—llls Sermon Last Sun day Morning. The Rev. J. S. Willis, pastor of the Tabernacle Methodist Episcopal Church, Eleventh street, above Jefferson, ia one of the rising young men of that de nomination. He U a nutivo of Maryland, having been stationed m Philadelphia nearly two years, during which time his ministrations have been largely attended. Hispcrsonnl appearance is pre possessing; he has a remarkably good voice, but has yet to learn how to use it; is easy in hts man ner; has a tenacious memory, a vivid imagination, and evinces considerable knowledge of men and books. His forte, however, lies in his flow of lan guage. He is naturally fitted for an effective off hand public speuker, and with due care will make his murk. He needs, however, to guard against the allurements of his word power. He evinces too much reliance upon his readiness, to the mani fest neglect of patient preparation. Writing his seimons, even if he did not use his manuscript in their delivery, would make thorn more accurate in sentiment, and give him a habit of condensation and terseness of expression, without which no pub lic speaker can hope to excel. Ho is a little too flowery ; too attentive to the music of his skmUriCcs} too poetic—for a preacher. His freo-and-easy sort of manner, atso. in tone, pronunciation, and gesture, lacks dignity. Wc iniikc tbedo suggestions because wc recognise in Mr. Witlia tuu much vniuabit: material to bo marred by avoidable defects, and because we be lieve him to have too good sense to undervalue an honest criticism. His sermon on last Sunday morning, delivered in his own pulpit, was on “ The Reign of Sin, anti its Remedtjf Romans vi, 12, being the passage upon which it was founded, to wit: ‘ “Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.” The reign of sin and its remedy in the death of Christ, he said, were the concurrent themes of Paul’s preaching. He proposed first, to consider the nign of sin. \ Sin could not bo said to reign in inanimate nature, I nor in the lower animals, for they performed the ends for which they were evidently created. The human soul alone was the subject of sin; adding that if Satan had possession of it, it was because man had so decreed it. Scriptures were quoted to prove that the heart of man is sinful, wicked, and deceitful above all things. Nor could there bo any i mistake about this fact, even in the absence of rove- i lation. The reign of an unholy and ruinous power ' in the soul was consciously pit The character oi lhis reign was, in the first place, : considered an active reign, implying the presence, of monarch and subjects. AH the wickedness of j man was but the emanation—the outgoings of this : despotic tenant of the lienrt. It was also a terrible ■ reign. The enormity of man's misdeeds showed this, i jUSt as the boisterous ocean bespoke the raging storm, j Nor had the cnitb furnished any parallel to theblack j misrule of this terrible autocrat in the human heart, j His reign was not confined to any nation or clime ; ' it was universal and wide-spread as the race ; yea, - so potent was it that it ruled ail other rulers. It built up dynasties and destroyed them at will; it had wrought revolutions without number, deluged ! the innocent in blood and covered mankind . with sbamc. If the rule of this dark monarch of ■ tbc heart was evil, it must bo borne in mind that . government is but tho reflected will and character ; of tho power that governs. This proved the literal 1 enthronement_of the devil in the human heart. In the Scripturo, sin was prosontod, or rflther ; characterized in various forms and degrees. Some- < times as a single act; at other times it was spoken : of as a service, lienee the expression, “ the wages ; of Sin;” at others it was represented ns a sting , the sting of death is sin then again the law : was its strength; as it was said, 11 the strength of ; sin is the law.” | It "ms, however im—- ’ ! it was, however, impossible to personify Sin, with out creating a new language, “ one not dreamed of \ in our philosophy.' 1 j Mr. Willis embellishes hia sermons with poetic i extracts, and heathen lore, with more facility than ■ some clergymen quote Scripture. i J?oine of the various agents employed by Si/1 t© ! carry out his diabolical purposes were nest dwelt upon. _ Chief among these agents was ambition, th« end doings of which were visible upon every hand. Tbe red legions of rebellion, nod the ghastly gods Of War. ftOltt Arb&ln to Waterloo, and from Water loo to Mnnnsras, were all the doings of ambition, and ambition was an emissary of siu. The next agent in this unholy category wa.? Pleasure —a reveller, clad in stiver slippers. Wine was her beverage. She might bo mook-oyed ns tho fawn, and graceful in her movements as the gu zelio, but she was a deceiver. Hor eyes were preg nant with lust and her steps took hold on death, and in every clime she was carrying hecatombs of triclinia to tho shadowy tomb. JIU delineation of the false pleasures of the world wns a graphic and thrilling portraiture. It was, he said, tho reign of lust in tho soul. Beside ambition and pleasure, su perstition, pride, envy, malice, jealousy and ava rice. wore designated as agents used by the despot Sin in transforming the human heart into a den of iniquity. Tbe case of the artist who painted the face of a lovely child, in order to personify Inno cence, and who by accident selected in after years the eame face, transformed by fcitt, 04 A model of Guilt, was very effectively introduced in this con nection. He next took up the second part of his theme— the remedy. The whole and only remedy for sin, he said, was found in tbe dCftth Of Christ. In the science of materia mediai y we had wbat was called allojxithy, derived from the Greek gUov, other, and jwf/io.v, disease; the idea being that one disease was removed by artificially sub stituting another. But in this great remedy for Bin we had the allopathy of the skies, a cum which effectually removed the disease without leaving another in its stead. The application of this remedy was by faith. Faith was u great power. By it the greatest revo lutions of earth had been wrought ; some by a false faith,-and others by the true. The French had had faith in Nature, which was an Infidel faith; the Christian faith was of a higher and holier order, enabling its possessor to look through Nature up to Katun-'f (id i This wns the faith wßrcb atone ml 4 piirifv and adorn the soul, and make it fit for heaven. Erom tho beginning there had been a grand developing principle going on in Christianity, just ns had been witnessed in some other depart ments, Elsstricity, from an inconsiderable begin ning, had marcbcd on" until it was now uniting States and Continents, and the time would yet come when Christianity would flourish wherever the tele graph flashed its electric spark. The world would yet be completely revolutionized by the power of fa th. Then all the ran* would rejoieo in n liberty that deserved the name, remembering that “ho alone i 3 free whom the truth makes free.’’ At the close of the sermon, the communion of the Lord's Supper was administered, iin invitation to partake ef the SAffcd emblems having been ex tended by tho preacher to his own congregation, members of any other churches who might be pre sent, and all other seriously inclined persons. This wiw throwing open tho door to tho communion table n little wider than we had over before seen it. tVc may remark, in conclusion, that, with all Mr. TVillis' warmth and enthusiasm, he succeeds better in engaging the fancy and pionsing the imagination than in either feeding the mind or moving tho feel lags of his audiences. This probably accounts for the fact that, notwithstanding the peculiar solemnity of this occasion, and the earnestness of the preach er. there was not one audible “ Amen!’’ which, for n Methodist Episcopal congregation, is somewhat rcmurkable. E. P. Whipple, Esq., on “Writ.” The third lecture of the present course, before the People’s Literary Institute, wns delivered at Concert Ilall. on Thursday evening, by E. P. Whip ple. Esq., of Boston. His audience, about a threo qunrtcr bouse, was of such a character as might be expected from the purely literary reputation of the lecturer—scloet and appreciative. The subject of the lecture was 11 Grit. 1 ’ In its treatment there was more gravity und common sense than genius, or that peculiar racinoss which seems best to please the popular taste. There wns, he said, in opening, an influential form of practical force, not exactly courage or heroism, but grit, and it had coined its own fitting word. There was defiance in its very sound. The word was so close to the thing it named that fo reigners ignorant of our language understood its meaning at once. It might be called courage ma terialized. Spun/.- did not express it. A coward might be bullied into an exhibition of that, but grit was always ready at its post. The difference between it and plan i- was ulso defined. Erskinc, the great advocate, had been a hero at tlio bar, but iu tho House of Commons there was something in Titt which made him flutter and quail within. Erskino was a man of courage; Pitt had grit. The essential sign of grit was, that when it takes a stand, the opposition must give way; and so, be cause it had a powerful hold on tbe rear. Life, said Mr. Whipple, was carried on at one or two removes from the realities of life—on this principle, in other words, “If you don’t say harm of me, I won't sny harm of you.” The name of this intermediate margin was politeness. Thus, it was imjiolitc to call a foolish man foolish, of a mean man mean ; and the time had been when it was equally impolite to call traitors traitors. It was one of the rarest, as it was one of the ugliest, human powers, to unmask boldly and habitually these golden lies. Men ffho it were usually considered constitutionally impolite and heroieaiiy ill-natured. Proceeding from social life to business life, we should find that grit not only made fortunes, but kept them. Losses were oftener due to a weak, good nature, against the hints of clear intelligence, than te almost any other. A courageous merchant must always be ready to face being called a cur mudgeon if he would not ruin himself by helping forward all kinds of schemes, and a fool if he did. The indomitable unyielding no ! was the grit the merchant needed, if he would succeed. Had the leaders of financial power in the great panic of 1857 been men of real grit, its worst consequences, he said, might hnve been averted. But, instead; of that, a rush had been made for the boats, and then followed the usual spectacle of a shipwreck, each man striking for a plank, instead of uniting calmly to construct a raft. There was much truth in the lecturer's remark, that tke merchant of gruff integrity was less es teemed than the bland, dishonest trader, who bad no compunctions about cheating his creditors. In giving another phase of his subject, ho said that backbone, with little brains, would accomplish greater things than more brains with no backbone. When both were united, their power was prodigious. By pure intellectual grit Mr. Calhoun had revo lutionized the sentiments of the South. The pre sent war had had its root in him. He had charac terized negro-slavery—that most wicked and fool ish of all things—as un institution," Mr, Emerson had recently, and more correctly, designated it a destitution. The grit of politics was next exposed. Calhoun’s grit wanted but the recognition of a compact and State sovereignty to conduct him logically to Seces sion. General Jackson’s grit antagonized this by the grit of the sword; while Webster’s grit was a mighty grapple of thought with thought. Grit in small men not unfrequentiy manifested itself in bitter hatred and blind prejudice. He knew a man in New England who had a constitutional dislike for the fair sex—the only case of the kind probably in the world. This man, when he took up the morning papers eagerly turned to the list of deaths, and if the name of a woman met lus eye, he would exclaim u Good ! good ! there’s another of ’em gone.” Another hated the negroes so badly that he had once declared that if he had his way they should not only be kept out of railroad cars and eburehes. but they should not he allowedzw. Africa. Carlyle had a chronic dislike of tho Eighteenth century —its religion, politics, manners, and name, and had once said that the most sensible thing it had ever done was to blow its brains out in the French Revolution. The rise and progress of the much-criticised "hkher law 7 ’ was next briefly reviewed, in which connection Mrs. Harriot Boochor Stowe was made the subject of a glowing compliment. There were some reformers who seemed to scorn fame that did not come from obloquy. John Knox was singled out as a notable example of the highest order of unadulterated grit. His spiritual descendants also—tho evinced this heroic moral element in a wonderful degree. But the greatest specimen of modern times in which this stern element stood out in most bold ness wsa Oliver Cromwell. He had all its essen tials—a coarse, strong English nature; was strongly impregnated with JJebreff passion, Nothing could withstand his determination. He had resolved to gain heaven, but also to take England by the way. Ho was a strange compound. But whatever the contradictions of his character, they were not such os to impair the ruthless energy of his will. What he dared to will ho dared to do; crushing ideas as well os armies. Whatever he did, he did thoroughly and unrelentingly, and that in the name of the God of Battles, and the God of Cromwell! There was always in this clement something hag gard and ungenial; but while it was not the crown of heroic character, talent without it must be a com* parative failure—whether it be in the path to mer cantile success, scholarship, the learned professions, or to honored citizenship. He would say to the youngmen who heard him, “do not be cowards.” Our country was to-day in a death-grapple with its barbarism, and be begged them to remember that contented ignominy was not Christian peace. The most glorious uprising that had ever surged up from the heart of a great people was now being enacted in this country. And to falter now would not only be recreancy against freedom, but blasphemy against God. Better, said the lecturer, that the AZa?/’ Jltncer bad perished with its precious freight th*m that America should ever again be subjected to the insolent domination of arrogant slaveholders. Any thing could be better endured than such unutter able abasement. The closing sentiments of the lecture were ut tered with much warmth, the speaker’s intonations, action?, and manner, having been a good oratorical specimen of the little word ho had been discussing, his hardest hits having been fairly ground out by the g? m ?t of bistcetb; the audience, in the mean while, applauding and laughing by turns.
