When the Abolitionists, for years in succession, offered and adopted iti public meetings their famous resolutions that ''the only exodus of the slave is over the ruins of tho American Union," they al ways coupled with it, also, "thn ruins of tho American Church." It was always a part of the plan of tlio radical Aboli : r .1.. ci 1. . 1 1 lioaltlitul unity destroyed, at the samo period when tho treason which they plot ted thould be perfect in its work and the once liapjsy republic reduced to be but a , desolate memory, in the progress ot their work, brought so near to final suo cess as it has been by a bargain with dem agogues and political managers, tho in telligent observer has not failed to note tho undermining process by which they have fchaken the foundations of the nation. Hence the frequent warnings which con servative men have sounded in the cars of the people, warnings unheeded nutil tho catastropho became so imminent that it seemed next to impossible to avoid it. It ..nl l.nnn l!fT.n,,H t r Gftn flin T,nintc nf ,T . . .... ,, have worked with all their forces, hen the war began they woro disappointed A war for the Union was not what they wanted. It will bo remembered that they were advocates of the right of seces sion, and in their principal organs strong ly maintained the "go in peace" doctrine. A separation of ihc States would have sat isfied their immediate demands, but they would probably havo advocated a war and invasion of the Southern States at a late period for the purpose of effecting tho destruction of slaveholders, against whom their animosity was fierce, For it must bo borne in mind that the real animus of Abolitionism lias always been liotvotl in tho slaveholder, aud not love for the slave. Tho war coming on, it was tho Abolition ists plan to prevent its remaining a war for the Union and convert it into a war for abolition. Tho determination of tho whole body of Abolitionists, original and recent, is openly avowed to bo anti-Union now. A conditional Union of somo sort is held out aa a nrctencc on which to rest tl.n olaim of Unionism. That it is but a nrr.rr.nen needs no nroof.

In many directions we find tho unity of tho church broken up and tho fragments arrayed on ono or the other sido of political or national questions. In many pulpits, North, South, East and West, we hear denunciation instead ot in struction, war instead of peace. Tlio clergy havo, in a vast degree, lost their hold on tho afi'ectious and the respect of tho people. The most exciting political meetings aro held in churches on Sundays, and tho harangues aro interrupted with tumultuous applause. Nor aro theso the only or tho most serious evidences of a dangerous ohangc. Tho infidelity which is preached from pulpits, applauded in nowspapers, and instilled into the minds of tho psoplo, young and old, is becoming moro open, unblushing, and defiant. Tho supremacy of reason over tho Bible is as serted in hundreds of pulpits commonly called "orthodox." "I would not believe such a doctrino if I found it in tho Bible," or "I would reject the Bible if I believed it contained such doctriuo," is tho fre quent assertion of this suprcmaoy on tho lips of religious toachcr. The fact that the Biblo does condemn many of the fa vorite doctrines and praotioes of modern radicalism his already led, to a want of r0SpCct for 1,10 book' 11,1(1 n Faal" jeetionof ita binding authority. Tho in- spiration of thu Holy Scriptures is now a bio for tho result 1 have seen too many subject of doubt in thu tuinda of men who dead and wounded comrades to feel other profess to bo followers of tho Puritans, ' wiso, that tho Government has not sus and in all parts of tho church wo find j tnincd the army. If you do not do so now men seeking iutrovortions of lanruuoo,and inventing obsctiro phrases by which to , conceal the plain and simplo truth that ! y I they do not believe in tho nbsoluto inspi- ; ration ot tho Uiulc as tho word of God. , Wo need not cito example of this. They arc painfully conspicuous. Wo except some largo bodies of the Christian church, and many worthy, noble ministers of tho truth, from, tho evil of which wo speak. Hut that evil is so manifest, and tho enmi ty of tho Abolitionists to tho American church so nearly successful, that tho ago seems likely to bo ono of prevailing infi delity in our cojntry . Tho year 180t will probably witness the crises of our fate as a nation. Wo are pressing on tho old track of the French infidels toward a similar stato of affairs. We havo already lost the graud conserva tor which the nation once p03scsscd in the solidity of tho Christian faith and its calm supremacy over all earthly considerations. Men look no longer to the body of Amer ican clergymen as spiritual guides, ser vants of a Master whose kingdom is not of tins world, but it is a recognized aud acknowledged doctrino now that tho cler- ! gymau may bu drafted as a soldier, may go to tho field of battle with fierce hatred of the foo, aud return to teach pooplo tho l.tr.c.tn.rr. aC 1 1 .1 In l,nn.- n .1 ll.n ijosgnirg 0f 0 uiuociua UL IUU lUll.

So severe has been the overthrow of old ideas on this and hindered subjects, that it is not strango to find the minds of all the people, even of thoso not tinctured with radicals heresies, faithless, and rath er given to thinking that wo may havo all been wrong in our religious ideas and ed ucation. How much further this is to go in the year and years to come, no man can forsec ; but that it will go on to the ruin of the church and the people, is but i too, plain, unlrss there be a sudden pause in tho presont mad rush of men calling . ? ... . .. . . , . themselves Christians, into every sort of skepticism, and especially into the prac tica of making religion subservient to poli itics. Journal of Commerce. Letter from Gen. MeClellan to the Secretary of War. On Juno 128th, General MeClellan ad .dressed the following letter to Secretary Stanton : Headquarters Aumy of the Potomac, Savage's Station, June 28, 1802 l'i-20 A. M. I now know the full history of tho day. On this side of the river tho right bank wo rcnulsed soveral strong attacks. On tho left bank our mcu did all that soldiers could accomplish but they woro ovsr whelmed by vastly superior numbers even after I brought my last reserves into ac tion. The loss on both eitles is terrible. I believe it will prove to be the most terrible .battle of tho war. The sad romuauts of my men behaved as men ; those battalions ' who fought most bravely, and suffered m-st aro still in tho best order. The reg I were superb, and I count upon what 1 are left to turn another battle in company ' or even (10,000) ten thousand fresh troops to use to-morrow, I could take Richmond but I have not a man in reserve, and shall be glad to cover my retreat and savo tho material aud "personal," of the army. If wc havo lost the day, wo havo yet preser ved our honor, and no ono need blosh for tho Army of tlio Potomac. I havo lost this battle bcoauso my force was to small, I again repeat that I am not responsible for this, and I say it with tho conscious ness of a General who fools in his heart tho loss of every bravo man who has been needlessly sacrificed to-day. I still hopo to retrieve our fortunes ; but, to do this tho Government must view tho mattor in thc samo earnest light that I do. You must send mo very largo reinforcements, and send them at onco. I shall draw back to this sido of tho Ohickahomiuy, and I think I can withdraw all our ma. tcrial. Please understand that iu this bat tle wo lost nothing but men, and these tho best we have. In addition to what I havo already said, I only wish to say to tho President that I think ho is wrong in re garding mo as ungenerous when I said that my forco was too weak. I merely intima- tod a truth which to-day has been too plainly ptovou. If, at this instant, I coulddisposo of (I0,000)ton thousand fresh men I could gain tho victory to-morrow . I know that-a fow tkousand moro auon would have changed tho battle from a. de- feat to a victory. As it is, tho Govern- ment must not, cannot, hold mo responsl- tho gamo is lost. If I savo this army now I tell you plainly that I owo no thanks to nor any person in Washington. You have dono your best to saorifieo this army. GEORGE B. McCLELLAN. How Soldiers live in Winter. A correspondent of tho Pittsburg Chron icle writing from tho camp of tho 4th Pcnua. Regiment at Dcoliard Station, Ten nessee, thus describes how tho men mako themselves comfortable in winter : "Tho camp is laid out in regular order, with an cyo to health, comfort, and beauty. Tho company streets arc all one width, twenty feet. Tho houses of tho enlisted men arc all one size and appearance, Willi a spaco between those of each company, while the internal arrangements aro all nearly the same each houso has two bunks and ac commodates four men. The most of tho houses aro built of logs, somo few of boards, but the dimensions of all aro tho same. Each houso is provided with a firo place and chimney, built of brick, in tho rear, opposite tho contro, while tho door opens out in front, opposite the centre, to tho company street. Now let the reader imagine ono company having twenty-four houses, each other company having tho samo number, tho dimensions of each tho same, and as follows: ten feet long, cicht feet wide, and four feet high, with four shcltor-tcnts for a covering, having a reg ular pitch, forming the roof.

I As the disoaso advances this membrane keeps forming until it extends into tho air tubes, which makes tho breathing quick and difficult, and tho patient be-1 comes very restless ; and toward tho last makes convulsivo efforts for breath, but nature yields her Bway, and tho patient dies of suffocation !

Disgraceful Fracas in a Church. Twenty Mile Stand, Ohio, ) January 0, 1804. S 2b the Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. A most disgraceful affair occurred in one of our neighboring churches on last Sabbath afternoon, immediately after tho closo ot divine service, and which was wit ncssedby the wholo congregation, tho min ister hiiusolf not being excepted. As a young lady (Miss M. by name) was pass im; ui) one of the aisles, and just as sho camo opposite a pew in which Miss T. was standing, ho was suddenly and un ceremoniously attacked by her ladyship, who seized nnd tore off her hat, on tho ribbon of whieh she woro a butternut breastpin. Miss M., who, by tho way, is verv nluokv and independent young Miss licr sisters who was standing by, and to whoso credit I believe I can truthfully say was rather ashamed of tho disgraceful no tions of her unladylike sister, but who, bowevcr, took possession of tho unlucky object. At this juncture in the affair, another of Miss 'i s bisters stepped un and demanded of Miss M, to let her sister alone, to which request our young heroine only replied by giving her n warmer receptieu than in all probability she would have asked for, in the face with ona of her hands, whioh, by the way, was not encumbered, so as to bo unfit for service, by a delicate kid glove. It is difficult to tell how serious might have been tho results had not Miss T. discovered that tho Uutternut was more than a match for her, called lustily on her friends for help, and our horoine finding that her opponent was fully satisfied, took possession of her pin, which was restored to her without further trouble, and placing it again on her hat sho marched off in aml 'disc0lnflture Jof tLf?

Should any other serious difficulty happen to the bravo butternut ladies of this now agitated community, you will probably hear again from a Lady. Old Abe on Congressmen. Tho oth or day, as thc President and a friend wero sitting on tho Houso of Representatives steps, tbo last session closed, and the mem bers filled out in a body, Abraham looked after them with serious smile. "That re minds me," said ho "of a littlo incident when I was a boy, my flat boat lay up at Altona, ou the Mississippi, lor a day, and I strolled about tho town. I saw a large, stone building, with massive walls, not so handsome, though, as this ; and while I was looking at it, the iron gato-way open ed, and a great body of men camo out.
