"While the Army is fighting, you, as Citizens, see that the War is prosecuted for the preservation of the Union and Constitution, for your Nationality and your Rights ati Citizens."«..GßO. 0. McCLELLAN. PULPIT POLITICS AND POLITI CIANS. We cheerfully concede the right of eve ry man in the Christian Church or out of it, whether sinner, minister, deacon or layman, to speak and act for himself on all subjects that interest him as an indi vidual or concern him as a citizen. It is a natural and inalienable right, and its exercise is not only the proudest preroga tive of a freeman, but is at times a grave and important duty. 'While, however, we concede the broadest liberty, in these re gards, to the Gospel minister, as to other men, we are not of opinion that his dis cussion of political, or semi-political and semi-moral questions in or out of the pul pit is either prudent or profitable. The differences of party, the current controver sies of American politics, have been characterized by a zeal and asperity which ; have rendered the subject matters involv ed difficult of approach or discussion by the spiritual guides and instructors of the people. As an inevitable consequence of this state of fact and popular feeling, many ministers, of various political views and affiliations, who have been led into pulpit and pastoral homilies on political 1 topics, have seriously impaired, and in many instances entirely destroyed, their usefulness. This has been the case, in a multitude of instances, as well in this as in other localities, as the knowledge and observation of our readers• wil‘amply at test. So inveterate is the aversion of the American people to pulpit politics, that the man who undertakes to enlighten them from the sacred desk, even on a single oc casion, as to their political duties, may find he has sadly offended a large body of his hearers, or materially lessened their re spect for his character as an ambassador of the Prince of Peace. Though wil ling to receive him as a religious instruc tor, and to listen to him on all subjects immediately affecting their spiritual and immortal well-being, they conceive they owe no deference.to him or his discourses when he attempts to combat their political opinions, to sunder their tarty ties, or to bolster up what they honestly believe to be dangerous political heresies. The con viction is deep-seated and wide spread that it is solely his province to direct in things spiritual, to enlighten men as to their moral responsibilities and obligations, to point them to "brighter worlds and lead the way." They can see no affinity be tween his high and holy mission and the strifes of party,—they can discover no i unison between the objects of political pursuit and ambition, the subjects of polit ical disagreement and contention, and the sacred and exalted aims and offices of the servant of him who declared his kingdom was "not of this world," but was to cone in the hearts of men. The common-sense of mankind pronounces as complete a di vorce between the preacher and politics as between Church and State. Tl,ey con ceive it to be his duty to compose the dif ferences of men rather than to augment their number and violence, to soften and uproot, rather than aggravate their ani mosities, and to lay his hand to nothing which may engender ill-feeling in the Christian Church. These are the popular impressions as to the sphere and character of the minister's labors. Whether they ! are right or wrong, it is not our present -purpose to inquire, though we have our convictions on the subject. That they ex ist, no candid reader will question ; and that they ought to be respected by those %vino are commanded "to be all things to all men" that they may save souls, is to our mind" equally as indisputable. And the ministet of' the Gospel who runs counter to the popular tastes and opinions in this particular may expect, eventually, to har angue empty benches, to receive a meagre and inadequate support, and to forfeit the favor and confidence of a large portion of his congregation. " ;Within the last few years, political }reaching has become an absolute evil.- 13eginning among the fanatical Abolition ists of New England, the Parkers and Beechers and others, it has extended to every section of the country, almost to -every hamlet and inconsiderable village; and to it, perhaps, more than to any other cause, may be attributed the Present deplo ;able condition of the country. The vio lent. pliiiiippics of these misguided zealots against slavery, their reckless disregard of the restraints and compromises of the Federal Constitution, and the contempt 'they have everywhere avowed and incul cated for all law which contravened their sablimated•'higher law" notions, are mat ters of universal nototiety. Regarding slavery as an evil, and a sin per se, they souglit, to. abate it by fair ?amine or foul, throtiiithrir. or over and ia 4i:we of law. 411141100talop t%inquire Late the rela tive rights of the Federal and State Gov- ernmptsapt4 the pwiiple ovea the subject of .slavety, nor into their legal or moral responsibility as individuals for its etisteoce in States of which they were not citizens and in which they had and could .have, under our political system, no part or lot or voice either iu the creation of institutions or the enactment of laws.— They only saw what their puritanical and Pharisaical morality had taught them was always and everywhere a wrong and an evil ; and as it was other people's wrong, they could see it the more clearly and abate it with all the less expense and inconvenience to themselves. The peace and prosperity of the country, and.,the liberties, lives and happiness of white men were not too much to- sacrifice to their darling chimera of negro freedom.— The unity of the Republic and the very stability of the Government itself have been recklessly inperilled to circumvent their cherished object. And yet what practical good have they accomplished? But political preaching has not been confined to the North, nor clerical politi ticians. The South has suffered a similar infliction. From Bishop Polk down to the humblest parish rector or Methodist circuit-rider, that deluded people have had "line upon line, and precept upon precept." Every effort was made by them to inflame the minds of their hearers against the North, and against the Government, and in many instances they were the first to seize upon the weapens of a carnal and fratricidal warfare. So much for the "extremes" of. folly and fanaticism, and so much for extreme teachings. That they should result in heart-burnings and bitterness, in sectional jealousies and hatreds and bickerings, and at last in the clash of arms was but natu ral. The Folly and Crime which scattered the seed are witnessing the harvest. They have sown of the wind, and must reap the whirlwind. Carnage and devastation have been the ministers of this sectional and devilish strife, and all the evils socie ty can suffer its concomitants. When and how we are to have peace,—when the troubled waters are to be etilled,—when, if ever, we are again to be united in fra ternal bonds as a people, God only knows. As in Roman times, so now let it be es teemed a virtue "not to despair of the Republic." Let us still hope her destiny is not accomplished. We may resume this subject at another time. THE MORGANTOWN MONITOR, 1!!i' We haire received the first number issued of a new paper called The Monitor, just started in Morgautown, Va., edited by W. P. Willey and G. C. Sturgis. It is of the genuine stamp ; takes decided grounds against abolitionism ; and though it . says nothing on the subject, we con clude that it will oppose the New State scheme.—Washingion iltrarainer. liar. The "Monitor" has also reached this office, and been placed on our ex change list. From the appearance of the paper and the tone of its editorials, we augur the succevs of the enterprise. Our young friends have our best wishes, and a word of counsel : You must depend on yourselves in this and in all newspaper un dertakings, and not on "outsiders a " Oth ers may help you to a paying list of sub scribers, but you must rely chiefly on your own personal efforts in the way of obtain ing patronage. Effort, bard and laborious effort, is the condition of your success.— Be diligent, press the claims of your pa per in season and out of season, and col lect your earnings promptly. and you will "win." Otherwise, you may expect to fail sooner or later. (No charge for the advice, gentlemen ; but see that you act . upon it.) "SOLDIERS RETURNED PROM THE WAR." Capt. J. Milton Kent, of the "Rangers,' , Robert Adams, son of ex-Sheriff Elijah Adams,) Sergeant Jas. A. Woods, and A- len llerrington have lately reached home on brief furloughs. Asa Bane has also returned, discharged on account of disa bility. Nearly all of these brave fellows bear honorable scars ou their persons, one of them lost an arm, and all of them did their duty faithfully and well. Let the people not forget them. WASHINGTON COUNTY. The Democracy of Washington county held a Convention at the Court House on Monday of last week, at which a series of excellent Res4lutions were adopted, speech es made by Gen. Callohan and Brother Donaboo of the "Examiner," and Gene Finly Patterson and Win. S. Callohan elected delegates to the approaching Dem ocratic State Convention. They were in structed to vote for Col.

ME FESTIVAL AND "HOP" AT THE HAMILTON HOUSE. Our neighbor of the "Republican" makes the following handsome notice of the Festival at the Hamilton House on Friday evening last. It was indeed a de lightful occasion to young and old, renew ing and reviving patriotic feeling and es tablishing better and more cordial rela tions among neighbors. Such gatherings are only too in frequent here and elsewhere: ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL The Celebration of Washington's birthday, at the Hamilton House, on Friday evening last, was, in every particular, a grand success, and was one of those rarest of gala times when —"Joy is unconfined." The attendance was large and re spectable, and the preparations and arrangements for their reception and accommodation were complete. The perfect freedom of the house gave to "wit and beauty" an iinconstraint that secured to jest and repartee free course. Conversational pleasan tries', the mirthful laugh and the en chanting promenade ruled the hour till the supper bell announced the invitation to a feast of good things unexcelled. "The festal board"—we cannot do it justice. 'Twas all that heart could wish, or mind 'conceive: When the seats were filled, and all was ready, keen appetite to gratify, the following "Feast of reason and flow of soul" found echo in every breast ; Car,. R. W. JONES pronounced the following toasts: Capt. J. MILTON KENT : A courte ous gentleman, a true patriot, and a faithful and gallant soldier. We honor the man not less than his deeds, and congratulate him on his safe return to friends and home, and "the girl he left behind bim." ROBERT ADAMS : A brave and no ble lad, who carries the love he bore his country in the only hand left him and the one nearest his heart. God bless him as our townsmen do, give our flag always such defenders, and keep him ever a warm place in the affections of his comrades and the re collection of his friends. "Mine host" and hostess of the "Hamilton" deserve a deal of praise for their catering. Give it to them freely. in KENT responded to the toast in his honor in a neat and appropri ate speech. Atter due justice had been done to the exhaustless collation, the great dining hall was vacated and prepara tions speedily made for the enter tainment of the less lucky, but pa tient, number who did not secure a seat at the first table. The second fable, no less richly and tastefully burthened and no less densely sur rounded by a no less worthy assem blage, introduced operations by the following toasts: By JA - S. B. LINDSEY— W. Monti). Minor: A son . of " Little Greene" who.never knew fear or cowered to a foe, or forgot a friend or brother soldier. His services, not less than his courage and devotion to his flag, entitle him alike to our honor, grati tude and admiration. BY ALONZO J. CLARK—JOSeph C. Miner : We miss him here, and be is lost to our sight and cause. Ile lies where "Rappahannock calmly sleeps on old Virginia's breast." Long be his daring and memory green in our souls. BY Jos. W. PHELAN—Asa Bane : A noble and gallant soldier. May his esteem never grow less in the eyes of patriots and ladies. "Long may he wave !" Again and again the great table was cleared and replenished. Finally satiety reigned over appetite, and the Ball opened, when gaily —"Trip it as you go, On the light, fantastic toe," was the ruling passion of the hour. The Proprietor of the "Hamilton House" and the Managing Commit tee.have just cause to c9ngratulatc themselves upon the entire success of the celebration; and all who par ticipated will long remember the occasion as one of unalloyed plea sure. ,The continuation of Mr. Poltrza's account of his Visit to the Army is crowd ded out of to-day's paper.

DINSMORE, THOMAS SCOTT, ISRAEL BREESE, Auditors Er] DIRECTORS' STATEJUE.N*7 In order to explain more fully the condition and expenses of the insti tution, so as to estimate, with some degree of certainty, the annual charge upon the ccunty, it is to be observed that a large portion of the expenditures so far niade were for stock and the necessary implements for the farm, and furniture for the house. The paupers generally came destitute of bedding, and of course the entire house had to be furnished, which has, so far, been done substan tially and economically. The house itself was unfinished, at least so far as the safety and comfort of the in sane paupers were concerned ; and considerable expense bad to be incur red in arranging a room for the most violent of them. The expense to the farm, in making and repairing fences, setting out a fine orchard of fruit trees, and other lidispensible work, was considerable. These charges of course will not occur again to the same extent, andwe may reasonably infer, from what has been done, that the poor of the cout.ty will eventually be kept un der this system cheaper and far more comfortably. 152 80 32 97 7 95 9 10 509 96 02 15 260 89 259 64 118 32 8.5 95 247 02 8 36 20 5 136 62 212 61 1!9 02 164 93 23 70 117 78 2430 86 From the annexed exhibit the public will see what other work has been done, and what has been pro duced upon the farm, and also what stock, &e., we have on the farm. Of course, since last Spring-, there has been but little yield from the farm, but under a proper system of culti vation, we have no doubt its produc tiveness will in a few years be very much enhanced. The abundance of coal and limestone upon the land is an important item There is also a sufficiency of timber for fuel, fencing and building, if properly used. For the latter purposes an arrangement has been made with the owners of a portable steam saw mill, by which means the timber upon all the farm, not fit for rails, can be cheaply eonverted into lum ber. In conclusion, the Directors invite the tax-paying community who have an interest in the institution. to visit the farm and house, and judge for themselves as to their condition and management. Jan.
