THE CEREMONIES OF YESTERDAY IN
7sg t , §T.4TEi CAPITAL
A.. Day of Rating and .Prayer desecrated by a Cleri;
cal avowal of 21.eason.
The Proclamation of President Lincoln, ap
pointing yesterday, Thursday, September 26
as a day of fasting and prayer, was observer_
with commendable unanimity and respect by the
people of the state capital. The houses of, basil
ness were almost entirely closed, the different
churches all well attended by their congregation 4
and the strangers sojourning in our midst]
while the streets and avenues of the city wore
all the appearance and decorum of a Sabbath
day. After the ceremonies and worship of the
' solemn occasion had been ended, the greai
topic of conversation was in reference to a leo l
ture delivered in the new school Presbyterian
church, by the senior pastor in' charge, Rev. Dr.;
William R. DeWitt. Our information iiiregard
to the sentiments of this last effort of the
scholarly, Christian and charitable Doctor, is de-;
rived from those Who were present, heard and were,
divnited with its coarseness, and who are all men,
of thehighest character for probity and patriot-;
ism: Dr. De Witt started in his lectureAy a refer ,
'ente to the occasion which had convened the con-;
gregation, the fearful and sanguinary struggle;
in winch we were involved, and then. in the,
calmest and most deliberate manner, proclaimed:

by the loyal love and Christian liberality of some
of the 'very best people in the Union, produced,
as they deserved, the Most intense excitement,'
arid at once tore the veil from the face of a
hThiocrite, and left him standing in the:full gaze
of his congregation in all his hoary deceit and
treachery. It proved that the people of Hellda
l:Meg had been nursing a traitor on the very
porch. of their altar of religion that our
young men were in danger of being tainted with
his 'commis, that our' maidens 'might 'become
pellgted by his touch, and that religion and pa
bdotism, truth and honor were all in jeapordy
by-the recognition and encouragement of men
wiiq'had so little regard for all or either of theni.

Rev, Dr. William B. DeWitt is an old citizen
of this city. • He his been pastor of the Presby
taint?. Chinch since 1818, coming here a poor
man, and in, that Ow amassing a large fortune,
wbiehhe has scrupulously invested in other
dates and cities, because it would return him
more money to swell his already overflowing
coffers. He has always been known as a par,
titan. of the pro-slaverypassions ; defending the
principles and the effects of the institution as
the orgy ameliorating benefits which the heathen
black man deserved. Ent it was presumed that
the experience Of a few months had changed his

that hir ivOuld suPpress his preference and Song
merits for corruptions of slavery in respect
for the purity, of religion and the patriotiard of
his fellow citizens. But -in this, as in many

OUR NEW ALLIES-LOOS OUT FOR OLD
We are among those who believe that the
principles which the Republican party pro
claimed at the last Presidential election, con
stitute the only basis upon which this great
government can progress, develop its resources,
and do justice to the free white men engaged in
every branch of business in this country. ' For
fifty years the germ of those principles have
'been hi existence, to animate all the great lead
ers who were opposed to the Democratic or
Locofoco party. It was the same policy since
matured and now constituting the force of a
Republican organization, which made the great
Clay so powerful in his day—which rendered
Webster so profound, and which also held to
gether the Whig party through years of defeat
and, vain oppointion to Democratic corruption.
Those great: principles never changed, and the
organization which upheld'and defended thetb
never changed either, save in
. the name of the
Whig party, , which gave up its title to bb
buried with its old. and immortal leaders, and
which eu3sUmed its present name and organiz+
Mon, Witliont the sacrifice of a single portion of
that greatpolicy which aims at the completb
elevation of labor and the administration of this
government upon laws of equal and exact jut
tice. After, these years of struggle, and when
the Republican party finds itself in possession Of
the government, the very men who have here
tofore
,OPpoeed that 'organization, find them
aelves suddenly- dispossessed of power, and as
Summarily deprived of patronage. In this con.:-
'dition they clamor now that party lines should
be abolished only where they have no hope of
success ; • without, ouch a destruction of
party diatinCtions, while in localitieif
where the, old dough-face school of Demo
cracy prevaili, the same leaders reject all
proffers of compromise or union, by arrogantly
asserting that they cannot affiliate with "Black ,
~Republicanism." This game has been carried on
so successfully, that the men who, at the cora l
mencement pt. the rebellion at the south, op-,
posed,agaffirts,to;suppre.ss its leadersas an act' .
of ooacion, not justified by the Constitution or
laws, are now sanguine of carrying a majority
in the legislature of the 'state; and with thiS
power in their hands, partially pave the way
fOr compromising again with the slave oligarchy,
and again repose the power and pAtronage of
the federal government in their hands. This;
they will do, 'll a majority of the Democratic,
leaders succeed in getting possession of the leg
islature, and therefore we must warn our friends
in time to be on their guard. We can at least •
warn those of our own and of the surrounding
counties of Dauphin, not to suffer the common
enemy to deceive them with a common trick.
The cry of Union is atalse appeal to the patriot
iern of men by those who estimate that Union
as of no value compared with the success of their
own schemes, and in this instance the success
which these men aim at is the destruction of
theßepublican party that the minions of slavery
may again rule in the government, at the ex
pense of its economy and the dignity and pros
perity of every free white man in its 4itizenship.
While a few honest men are earnestly lab:w
ing to purify what they deem the corruptions
of politics, the old hypocrites and party hacks, of
Democracy, such as those who made a pretext
of the ambition of John C. Breckinridge to stab
the country kits most Vital parts, are using the
!efforts of these :honest men to push themselves
into power; and if possible once more invigorate
their old .organization; clothe it'with power by
compromising with and making allies of rebels,
;and thus inture , the final 'triumph of co-ercive
rebellion in the administration of this govern
.ment. We consider that the defeat of the Re
publican party, would be equally as fatal to this
,goierriankt at this' time, 843 the defeat of the
I federall'orCe now encamped around the federal
!capital. It is what the rebels require, what '
ithey demand ' 6 the forerunner of that com
,.
promise with which they hope to escape the re-
sponsibilities, punishments and burdens of their
'treason. They ri3belledheorM6 the Republican
party`' elected a President They sought 'the ,
destruction of the Union• because the "free white
men of the free states declared their ability and
determination to rule; and • now they only ask
that this determination be rebuked and these
!men hthnilisted by' defeating the' Republican
Party. And to' accemplish this purpose the
`;wily old leaders of dough-faCeisin in the north
have been crying for *compromise, the oblitera:

mined by Capt. - lingers and Major Merritt, Chief
Engineer of the machines) , to try the
force of rifled cannon shot upon it. For this
purpose twe of the most powerful rifle
guns under the superintendence of Lieut.
Buffington, of the Arsenal, were conveyed
over the river, opposite the Carondelet
docks, on the Illinois side. Here, on the
,sandy beach, a range of about three miles for
the balls to fly was obtained: The iron plates
the eiperiment were placed and Anna ) , bolted
to oak blocks about sixteen inches thick, and
`stationed in a firm position at in angle of forty
five degrees, and inclination - the same as the
gun-boats.
Lieut. Buffington placed his guns at the range
of eight hunched yards. The target was so
small for so great a distance, that it was quite
difficult'to see it, busby the aid, of 4 spy : glass
some good shots were made. A Parrot rifled
gun was used.' 'The - first bill struck the 'iron
under one of the bolts, tearing it out without
injury to the iron, only making its mark in a
raking tray. The next shot that hit the iron,
Was fired at distance 'of' five hundred yards,—
Tins nu& a Very decided mark, indenting the
iron one inch. The next 'shot at *five hundred
yards hit fair and also made a dent about one
inch deep, starting all the. bolts. Next they
came up .to three hundred yards distance;
and the effect on the iron was the same
eachtime, a deep indentation being made but
not a crack or sign of breaking. Now the
party said they would see if a ball could be put
through, so the iron target was set up straight,
or a little leaning towards the gun, which was
placed only one hundred yards. All,. said Lit
must go through. . The ball hit fair in the cen..

and shattering the ball in a thousand fragments

now determined unsafe . to try it at a shorter
range. It being decided by Captain. Rodgers
and all hands present that.the iron resisted be

very superior, quality, we gave it up that we
could not pat a balithrough it, and it was pro
