Yrs, let it be understood onoo for all that this parish, so long as it oontinucs in my charge, is iu tho speoial interest of no paity, or clique, or set of men, wheth er in Cliurolt or Stato; that it bears no distinctive complexion with regard to polit ical affairs on ono side or the other ; that no man or woman, old or young, trill bo permitted to prescribe what sort of people shall bo admitted to its privileges, or what excluded from them ; and that whatever may be the sympathies of individuals with reference to the topios of ihe day, it will make no difference as to their position hoic as worshippers of the samo God and heirs of the same promises. I cm nd friend to a tyrannous proscription for mcro opinion's sake, nor cau I consent to be the instrument through which it shall bo brought to bear on tho members of Christ's family.

Two genllo mon of oppotiito politio'i Linooln and Mc Clellan who were psascngors, wero seat ed sida by side, and wero discussing tho affairs of tho day tho war particularly in a Sarin but rtrien'dly manner. The lat ter was oandid in his hopes that McClel lan would be eleoted, tho war oeaso and the Union bo restored. The former liko Old Abe, could boo nothing bright in ths futurd Until slavery vtai abolished or tho whole South exterminated. If it took bhc last man and the last dollar, said he, the war must go on to tho bitter end. He was extremely violont in hi' manner, gestures and boks.

She had watchod him closely from the btfjifJfjing, and her ears evidently drank iii every wrathful word he uttered. But when he excl, :mcd that every man must suffer in the cause ot tho negro, alio sprung from htr seat a quickly as a tigress, and dealt blotf rvftor blow upon the face and noso of tho up lucky Lincolnito. Blood spirted over tho floor of the oar, and tho soustuion created by the extraordinary aot caused great ex citement among tho pasncDgers, ambng whom wero many ladico.

First hs starts ed for the beligorsnt female ; then he halt ed, and pulled thu strtp to ring the bell ; and fiually ho mado a dash at tho bclige rent female, who kept punishing the of fending Republican, exclaiming once in a while, "you want war; you have it right here at homo," ntid then followed a so veror blow still. Finally she was drawn off, and the sufferer, with his pocketband kerchief to his bleeding noso, beat a re treat, and reaohing tho sidewalk, perform ed iniraolas in tho way he footed it down tlie 'inird Avenue. After quiet was restorod,and the oar was proceeding up town, tho assailant exoused herself for her unwarrantable oonduot by saving that she iiutl til res J? lost her hus band and one son in this war, and thatshb bad still two sons in the army, and sho felt felt that no one must intiraato before her that tho other two tiust aacridoe their lives also, and leave her alone in the world to satisfy the fanaticism of the hour. The Nominaticmo. The Philadelphia Ledger is a newspa per which caters to tha taste of its read ers under the garb of neutrality.
