RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Series op Sermons for the People.—A great
course of pulpit. discourses is about to be com*
menced by the Rev. Thomas H. D. D.,
late chaplain to the United States House of Repre
sentatives, and now paatorof the Ohurch of the New
Testament, which worships in the chapel at Ele
venth and Wood streeta. Several of the sermons to
lie included in this series were delivered some years
sgo in Cincinnati, Baltimore, and -Philadelphia,
and some of them were afterwards printed for circu
lation, The Doctor now proposes to complete the
course then commenced, in the light of, and, in a
measure, with reference to, events at present trans
piring in the theological and political world. The
opening dii course in the series will be given to
morrow (Sunday) evening, and will have for its
theme, ‘‘Theßible and other Current Authorities,
Natural and Social, being a Review of the Charac
ter of Creation and Providence, the Church, and
•the State.” .The course will consist of ten sermons,
the whole to be issued in boolc form, immediately
sifter their delivery. All who attend these sermons
will enjoy a rich treat, and those who hear, will, we
doubt noti be doubly anxious to possess and pre
serve them for future reference.
-- The Independent on .the Late Rebel Gen.
jAbksoN.--The current number of The Independent ,
in a leader upon Thomas; Jefferson Jackson, the
cmisentrebel general,.who died a few days ago from
wounds received in the confnsion of the battle of
Chancellorville, ftt ithe hands of his own men, says :
41 Henceforth we know him no more after the flesh.
He is no longer a foe. We think of him now as a
noble-minded gentleman, a rare and eminent
Christian ! For years he has been an active mem
ber of the Preebyterian Ohurch, of which he was a
luling elder. He never, in all the occupations of the
camp, or temptation of campaigns, lost thefervor of
his piety, or remitted his Christian dutics.
' “We know tliat before every important move he
spent much time in prayer. •, He had so pub hisaoul
in the keeping ©f his master that he was relieved
from all thought of self, and.had the whole power
of hiß life ready for his work. Officers of Fremont’s
army, who pursued him in his famous retreat from
the Shenandoah valley, found him to be greatly be
loved, by the common people, among whom, iu for
mer times, he had labored, in prayer meetings, in
..temperance meetings, and in eyery Christian word
and work.' No wonder he fought well along a re
gion whose topography he had mapped down with
prayers, exhortations, and Christian labor. * * %
“ Let no man suppose thatthe North will triumph
over a fallen son with insulting gratulations ! . No
where'else will the name of Jackson be more
honored. Not for adhesion to the cause of slavery,
hut for his untarnished personal character, for his
devout piety, and for his military genius.”
A Recreant Oh aflatn.— A correspondent of the
Boston .Recorder writes that a chaplain of a Massa
chusetts regiment, in the Army of the Potomac, not
long since introduced his sermon on Sunday morn
ing in these words: “I shall take my text on this
occasion from a well-known author, or at least from
one who should be well known, and in these words:
•Let us be jolly.’ You will find this in the Gospel
according to Dickens.” Then folio wed
in keeping with such a text and introduction, to the
manifest disgust of even the most irreligious iu the
regiment. This jolly chaplain, it is said, has, Bince
then, lost his situation in the regiment above refer
red to, but, Btrange to say, has been appointed to
officiate in that capacity in one of the German hos
pitals in Washington..
Bishop Simpson’s Removal to Philadelphia.
—The Chicago Advocate, in speaking of the contem
plated removal of Bishop Simpson, one of the most
eminent divines in the Methodist Episcopal Church,
to this city, says: “We regret to learn that Bishop
Simpson has decided upon a removal to Philadel
phia. The Northwest can ill afford to spare him,
and will regrethis removal. He is needed here, and
surely episcopal supervision is needed here, and
through the Northwest. We must submit, but it is
not with patient resignation. We suppose several
weeks will elapse before the removal, as the Bishop
3s still East aetemling his conferences.”
A French Pilgrimage to the Holy City.—A
caravan of French Roman Catholic pilgrims to the
Holy City recently arrived in Jerusalem. They enter
ed with great solemnity, at.the first sight of .the city
Alighting and kissing the ground, and immediately
proceeding to the alleged tomb of Christ to, offer
prayer. The cupola covering the sepulchre, it is
said, presents a melancholy spectacle, being in a very.
dilapidated state. A plan forits reconstruction has
been presented by French and architects,
but it has not- yet.been "approved by the French,
Russian, and Turkish Governments, although fre3h
diplomatic conferences have been opened at Con
stantinople to arrange the'matter. Every incident.
»nd occurrence relating to Jerusalem now excites a
peculiar interest in the religious world.
African College.— The African Methodist
Church hftßTnow an opportunity of purchasing the
Wilberforcc University- at Tawawa Springs, near
Nenia, Giiio; aud its members ; are making strenuous
©ffbrtß to secure it for the benefit of their race.

He hasbeenappointed to preside at the German-:
Mission Conference, and before his return .will visit

& call fromjthe Church of the Messiah, at Locust and
Juniper streets, preached his first discourse as the
pastor of the society on last Sunday morning. He is.
a graduate of the Clniton Theological School, New
York.
More Criticism on Bishop Oolbnso’s Book.—■
It is now alleged that the second part of Bishop
ColensO'S attack on the Pentateuoh wAsnofc really
■written by the Bishop himself, from the internal
evidence that, while the first part of the work be-
Irayß, in almost every page, the Bishop’s ignorance
of Hebrew, the Becond reßts almost exclusively on
his claim to an intimate and scholarly acquaintance
with that language. V „
Religious -Scandal about the Prince of
■Wales’ MARniAGE.—The London Church Review
declares the marriage ceremony of the Prince of
Wales to be “ a great public scandal,” and church
men Are reminded that it took place on the 12th of
March, which iB the feast of St. Gregory the Great,
and that “there is some doubt whether a royal
marriage, celebrated in Lent, might not hereafter be
impeached in the ecclesiastical court.” /
Rev. Mr. Ciianning on General Hooker and
His Army.—The Rev. Mr. Ohanning, ot Washing
ton, who had just .returned from the army, where
lie witnessed Sedgwick’s fight on Monday, and has
since talked freely with the men, both in camp and
in the hospitals, declared in his sermon, last Sunday,
lhat the morale of the soldiers, and their faith in Joe
Hooker, were unimpaired, and that they await a re
newal of the conflict with steady and cheerful confi
dence, their minds being entrenched in a habit of pa
tient hope, and their belief in ultimate triumph
liaving been strengthened with every battle, while
the rebels fought in anger and enmity.

YEiiifMENT 4r The influence;of the Rome Catholio

JThere are also other' influences at work in French
society, Which are strengthening the foundations of
Trench Catholicism, by re-establishing in thousands
of young men and women a firm belief in the truth

Affairs at the Navy Yard.—At the
Philadelphia navy yard at present matters are gene
rally as active as ever. The Shenandoah is being
fitted out, and will be completed in about a month.
The Tacony, which, it will be remembered, was
launched a Jew days ago, is getting her machinery

steamer Princess Royal and the schooner G. W.
Blunt are undergoing repairs, and the Memphis is
also on the dock, having been run into and in
jured by the Keokuk. The steam-sloop Tuscarora
lies off in the stream, undergoing some slight repairs
to her machinery. The Wissahickon is now nearly
ready, and the Saratoga is still in the stream. The
supply- steamer. Massachusetts is' receiving on board
her stores, And sails for Port Royal to-day. The Ber
muda, it will be remembered, sailed last Wednesday
afternoon. The Kansas and the Yantic are the

extreme beam 60 feet. She is fifteen hundred and
sixty-four tons burden. The fitting out and the
repairment of old vessels and the construction of
, new ones, together with the repairment of the sec

plenty, to do.; The following are the names of those

A Chirographic Curiosity.— At propeiv
places and.at proper times there are to he seen spe
cimens of caligraphy, which equal all compilations' "
of the ancient art, and ecllpße all of the modern, A
wonderful production in this clasß of art, which has
lately been completed, will, itts understood, be pre
sented to the “Union League” Club of this city,
and will he well worthy of acceptance. The penman
ship is executed on fine embossed paper, and enclosed
within a neat gilt frame. The whole design -is as
unique as tbe execution is accurate, and both are
beautiful. The largest and most wonderful portion
of th*e design occupies the centre, and perhaps;one
third of the whole sheet, and is of a somewhat shield
like, architectural pattern. This is wholly composed
of penmanship,, which, is twenty-seven lines in
length, and which embraces the six fundamental ar
ticles of the Union League of. Philadelphia—the
twenty-seven lines corresponding to the twenty
seventh of December, 1862, the date appended to the
articles mentioned. “ The Union League of Phila
delphia” forniß the arched title of this piece of pen
manship. The cuter line of the ten lines which
frame in the whole commences with the words,
“The by-laws,” and ends in the first half of No.
6, with the words, “The rules,” thus forming
an appropriate introduction to what follows.
Blue, black, and. red ink only are employed
in this exquisite .' penmanship and the whole
caligraphic handiwork includes, in microscopic
characters, the complete articles of association
and by-laws of the. Union League of Phila
delphia, organized December 27, 1862. The whole
thiDg is executed with a rare and wonderful perfec
tion of Bkill, and the medal which its author, Mr.
David Davidson, of this city, has received, is a de
servedly-won tribute to so successful ah exertion
of talent. The middle and upper- portions are, per
haps, the most singular. Both the Roman and Italic
characters are faithfully executed. . The singularity
is that their form is preserved in the whiteness ! of
the paper itself, the paper being inked all aTound; so
as perfectly to preserve the shape of the letters.
-The care, calculation, skill, beauty of design, and
exquisiteness of execution, are something to wpnder
at and to admire.

Bisturbihg tlie Noon-day Prayer Meeting.
S. D. Wilson and .Tlioitfas Williams Stnkey were ar
raigned at the Ceulral Station yesterday afternoon, on
the charge of misdemeanor, in disturbing the prayer
meeting heid daily at the Commonwealth Building. . -
Mr. Wilson, one of the defendants, is a thin-featured
man, rather below-the medium 6ize, and wears long
llaQvW 5 M k c'ri a fall J ll c’lrl* upon his shoulders,
nearly. Mr. Stnkey, anßnglish Quaker, uirned Metho
ra^L ldl ? or ?v la > tterl X beco,nea member of the Baptist
Church, stood before the magistrate, and refused to re
move ins hat when requested. To all outward appear
aucehe might be supposed as being a member of the So
ciety ol b fiends. . It may he necessary to say this much
to prevent an unjust imputation being charged agaiost
any of that respectable class of the people of Philadelphia
commonly called Quakers.
A number of the most prominent gentlemen connected
With the prayer-meetings were examined as to the facts
of the case. It seems the defendants have been in the
habit of visiting the prayer-meetings, as the card at the
front doorajxtends a general invitation to the public to
call in.. They have expressed their feelings in such a
style as to hurt the feelings of the: devout worshipping
Christians. Mr. Sfcukey, particularly, has made such
objectionable remarks, and claimed to do so under,
the invitation, th at members of the congregation left the
meeting. Both of the'defendants have been ejected: by
the police officers, but still they would return. The re
marks made by the defendants .were in condemnation of
the ministry ; of the peculiar rights of religious sects;
that this one or thatone was a wolf in sheep’s clothing;
that, in fact,the parties engaged in the meetings had no
right to hold them. On one occasion, when one hun
dred and fifty persons were present, the question was ask
ed whether any one desired to hear liim to speak? to which
there was not an affirmative response, but he still in
sisted on being present to enunciate his. views so ob
noxious to the general feeling. On one occasion, because
of his remarks, twenty-six persons in a body left the
meeting.
Mr. Stnkey endeavored to cross-examine the witness,
and essayed to argue the various points thatarose. He
was checked by the magistrate, who desired him to
coniine himßßlf strictly to the rules of law. In doing so,
he made tlie case worse against himself than even the
evidence in chief. . ~ • ,
Mr. Wilson begged off; he said that lie would not go to
the meetings any more if the prosecution should be
withdrawn. This being assented to by the gentleman
who had instituted the proceedings, he was discharged
on his owurecogniance. l .
Mr. Stukey would not make any such saerm ie of his
feelings, and was therefore required to eater bail in the
sum of $6OO, to answer at court. |He simply replied, “ hi
never henter bail: ” A commitment was made out, aud
he was taken down stairs. : When we left the station, he
was in a Jail* way of being indulged in a free ride iu the
van, to the county prison.
The penalty for disturbing a prayer meeting, as , pro
vided lorby the 31st section of the revised penal code, is

Moses Sweetzer, quite a small lad, was arraigned at
the Central Station, last evening, on the charge of steal
in g five dollar's and twenty-five cents from his employer,
a Mr. Harczyk, a pawnbroker, 1200 North Second street.
The youch had beeneraployed about a week at the store,
during wlnch time the money was taken, and also five
“pledges” disappeared from the shelves. The lad,
•though not over twelve years of ago, hired a wagon with
some of the stolon money and went out a riding. He
was arrested by Detective Lamon, to whom he admitted
taking the money, but denied stealing the articles thlt
were pledged. < ille was .committed to answer.
A-young man giving the name of Thomas Connell
was arraigned last evening on the charge of committing
an assault and battery on-Mr. Frenau of the Police Tele
graph. The defendant was drunk, hurrahed for Jeff.
Davis, and made an unprovoked attack on an old color
ed man on Sixth street. When taken into custody lie
resisted the electrician, and committed an assault and
battery upon him. The defendeut was required to pay
a fine for being drunk; and to enter bail in . the sum of
&GCO to answer the charge of assault and: battery upon
Mr. Frenau. •. •. ,
A young : man, recently married, was arraigned last
evening, at the Central Station, on the charge of steal
ing a gold watch and chain, valued at $45. the property
of Airs. Sally Dawes, residing at 330 south Twenty-firist
street. It seems that some workmen were on the roof of
a house, and he went up there, as lie says, in search of
work. Tlio watch was stolen from a room. It was: re
covered by Detective\Carlin, at a pawnshop in the
southwestern section of the city. The ‘ pawnbroker
could not identify the prisoner; lie said he looked like
the young man who had pawned the watch, but: he was
not certain. The. defendant was committed to await
another hearing. . .
A woman giving the name of Ann Bush was committed
yesterday afternoon to answer the charge of stealing
$2.50 from Mary Hughes. The loser lives in Gilles’ alley.
She was asleep at her residence, with the money in her
boeom. Dnring her somnolent condition, it is . alleged
the defendant removed the money. Two witnesses tes
tified that they saw her with the pocket-book containing
the change. . • \ - - •
Loolc Out for Swindlers*
•A pretty-well-dressed woman stopped at the residence
of Anna Ruhl, a German woman, No. 9 Bowery place,
near Tenth and Willow streets, some time since. aud
swindled her out of $35. by practising an “old dodge.”
The stranger said that she and her husband had been
living at Richmond, Va. Her trunks, after a deal of
trouble, had been brought to'Philadelphia, and they
remained at the express office, because she had not the
sum of $35 to pay the expenses of bringing them. She
so operated upon, the sympathetic German woman a 3 to
induce her to advance the required sum; tendering, as
collateral security, a gold watch and chain,' with
charms attached, one of them being across, the emblem
of Christianity. !
. The stranger had a smooth tongue. She said she had
plenty of money in her trunks, and afeer she obiained a
house to live in she would call and not only redeem the
watch, but make' a present to her kind benefactress.
Since that transaction she has not been heard of. Mrs.
Rnhl entered a complaint yesterday at the Central Sta
tion. The watch is known as a “ stuffer,” not worth
over a dollar.
Mrs. Purfell alias Emma Smith, an account of whose
anest was published yesterday.' accompanied Detective
Dusenbery, of New York, to that city yesterday after
noon,-the “ splendid mantilla,” ” love of a bonnet,”
and all- She appeared to be rather melancholy as she
retired from the office.
A day or two since a gentleman stepped into a whole
sale liquor store, and engaged" the attention of the pro
prietor, tasting his wines and liquors,'and talking large
ly. While so engaged, a, well-dressed.;maxrcame, in,
seemingly in a hurry, and,-handing a bank note to the
proprietor of the store, asked him whether he thought
it a counterfeit. He went to the counting room in the
.rear part of the store to examine the detector. The in
quirer followed of course. At this moment the man who
had called purchase of wine and liquor
started towards the door, as if he intended to ‘go away.
The proprietor did-not want to lose a customer, so he'
banded the detector to the man in the counting-room to
make an examination, and . then, started to the front of
the store. Both men finally.retired. In half an hour
after this scene a little hoy came'to the store with a pack
age in Ms hand, which he sat'd a man at the corner told
him to bring. It was receiyed, '‘ and, upon being opened,
judge of the.surprise of tße storekeeper to find it made up
of papers of no use to anybody but aimself. The papers
had ueen taken out of the open fire-proof safe by the
counterfeit-note man. Both the -men were strangers' to
-the otoi'oii*oivir..but:aoio<i jii_cmicert with each other.
A full-grown boy, named John Mooney, with several
aliases attached to’ bis name, was arraigned before Alder- -
man Haines, yesterday morning, on the charge of bur
glary and robbery. in breaking into the tailor store of
Sir J. 11. Johnson.jOn Girard avenue, near Twelfth
street. 1 Between three hundred and four . hundred dol
lars’ worth of clothes was stolen, some of which were re
covered. He was committed in .default of $1,500 hail to
answer. .
A man giving the name of John Johnson was com
mitted by Alderman 1 KamsdeU-yesterday morning, to
answer the chargeof the larceny of a carpet bag, the
property of Joshua Gavsed, the receiver of the Ridge
avenue Passenger Railroad Company. It seems that the
defendant had taken passage in one of the cars. The
carpet bag, pretty well filled with articles of value, was
in the car. As he was about going out, he picked
it up, and was arrested while walking away with it.

• Schenectady, January 17,1862.
Dr. Lighthill— Sir: Having been cured by you
of a discharge in an ear, which has been very of
fensive of late, and as far back as I can remember
always more or less so; and having been much im
proved in hearing since under your care, I feel that
I cannot withhold this from any
use it may be to others, especially asifiave applied
in vain to my family physician and other physicians
of reputation. Yours truly, JOHN NOTT.
[TT.OM REV. P. R. RUSSELL, LYNN, MASS.]
Ihave.been much troubled with catarrh of the
worst type for some twenty years. It gradually
grew worse, producing cough and hoarseness, de
stroying the sense of smell, and breaking down my
general health to Buch a degree as to compel me.to
resign my pastorate and suspend public speaking.
I made diligent use of the usual remedies, such as
snuffs of various kinds, nitrate of silver, tar-water,
olive-tar, and inhalations, Ijut without any very
salutary effects. Last summer I heard-of Dr,
Lighthill’s successful mode of treating catarrh,
visited him, and put myself under his treatment. I
began Immediately to improve, and this improve
.ment has gone on to the present time. My catarrh
has gradually melted away, my cough has disap
peared, my voice haß become natural, and I am once
more able to preach the Messed Gospel. Let me
advise all troubled with catarrhal difficulties to ap
ply to Dr. Lighthill. P. R. RUSSELL.
Lynn, Mass., Feb.l, 1862.
I have pleasure in testifying to the skill and kind
attention of Dr. liighthillj who haß relieved me from
a troublesome deafness, brought on by a severe
cold. .1 shall be happy to answer any inquiries
made by persons seeking information at my address
as above. ROBERT CLIVE, Book-keeper.
Thiß may certify that, having been afflicted during
the year 1856 with severe and almost total deaf
ness, and having tried the ordinary medical and
surgical aid, under the care of those esteemed aB
eminent practitioners, I was induced at last to put
myself under the care of Dr. E. B. Lighthill. His
treatment was brief and successful. I was com
pletely reato edj and the cure is apparently perma
nent, I have all confidence in Dr.L.’s skill and
integrity in the diseases he makes specialties.

Dear Sir: I take much pleasure in testifying to
the professional skill exhibited by you in yourtreat

Upon coming under your charge I was immediately
relieved, and speedily cured of a most aggravated
complaint, which several physicians had previously
sought in vain to mitigate.

if necessary, by reference to my rela

ed; size and power of engines and boilers; and should
state the price at which they are offered for long or short

Washington, April 28, 1863. •
The organization of an INVALID CORPS is hereby
authorized.
This Corps shall consist of Companies, and if it shall
hereafter be thought best, of Battalions.
The Companies shall be made up from tbe following
sources, viz: .
First. By taking, those officers and enlisted men of
commands now in the field (whether actually present or
temporarily absent) who, from wounds received in ac
tion or disease contracted in the line of duty, are unfit
for field service, but are still capable of effective garrison
duty,> or such other light duty as-may be required of an
Invalid Corps. Regimental Commanders shall at once
make out, from'information received from their Medical
and Company. Officers, and-from their own knowledge,
rolls (according to the Form furnished) of the names of
all the officers and enlisted men under their commands
who fulfill the following conditions, viz:
1. Thatthey are unflt for active field service on ac
count of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty;
this fact being certified by a Medical Officer in the ser
vice, after personal examination.
2. That they are fit for gaiTison duty; this fact being
likewise certified by the Medical Officer, as above, after
personal examination.
3. ‘That they are, in the opinion of their Commanding
Officers, meritorious and deserving.
These rolls shall be certified by the Examining Sur-
S eon and Regimental Commander, and transmitted,
arough the regular channels of military correspond
ence. to the. Provost Marshal General of the United
States,_ ' ' •
The Regimental Commander shall enter in the column
of remarks, opposite each-officers name, on the roll, a
statement as to the general character of the officer for in
telligence, industry, sobriety, and attention to duty;
and all intermediate Commanders shall endorse thereon
such facts as they may possess-in the case, or if they
have none, they shall state how far they are willing to
endorse the ; opinion of the officer or officers making the
recommendation; Similar rollashall be forwarded from
time to time, whenever the numher’of men fulfilling the
conditions enumerated or the exigencies of the service
may render- it expedient. -
Second., 'By taking those officers and enlisted men still
m service and borne on the rolls, but who are absent
from duty, in Hospitals’ dr Convalescent Camps, or are
otherwise under the control of Medical Officers, la
these cases, the -Medical Officer in attendance shall pre
pare the rolls according to Form; entering the names of
.officers and men from the same Regiment on a roll by
themselves, and send them, with the certificate of the
Surgeon, duly signed, to the proper Regimental' Com
mander, who will forward them, as heretofore specified,.
subject to the same conditions and requirements. If, in
any case, the Regimental Commander shall think an
officer unfit, in point of character, to continue in the ser
vice of the Invalid Corps, though disabled and certified
.by the Surgeon, he will state his'objection in the column
of remarks, and note the exception before signing the
certificate. If any officer or enlisted man now in the
service, but absent and beyond the reach of a Medical

desires to enter this Corps, he will take the course indi
cated below for those who have been honorably dis-“
charged tbe service.

2. That he furnish evidence of honorable discharge

of duty.
3. That ho. produce recommendations from the Regi
mental. Brigade, and Division Commanders under whom

vided for and - capable of returning adequate service to
tne Government. In case it shall be impracticable to
§et this last evidence, he may, having established the
rsfc two points above, satisfy the Board of Enrolment
that he is deserving, and present its certificate of the
fact. .This evidence must all be obtained by the appli
cant, and must be transmitted with his. application for
appointment. I
- If there be no Actingl Assistant Provost Marshal Gene

desiring to re-enlht in this Corps, will present them
selves to the Board of Enrolment for the District-in
which they reside, , for- examination by the Surgeou
thereof, who shall examriie them and report the result
