Single oopiee To agents per hundred The Churoh and the War, Doubtless the great conservative ele ment in a Democratic country is a pure religion. But that religion can never re main pure when it is piostitnted to politi cal purposes. Its mission is to the heart of the individual person, and not to the collective body politic and purifjißg influences mnstbe effectual - at all, on single men and women, the resulting effect being on the public inter ests through those individuals. In all conn-ries. when men have brought the church into the stnfrs of nations or of parties, the effect has been not only to in jore or debase the church, but also to de 6t:C'j us influence for good over the hearts of individuals When it becomes a ma chine for political effect, it ceases to have power for moral good. It makes no dif feicDce whether the cause which it es posses he ihe right or the wrong cause. The result on the church is always the flame, at:d always bad. the ebrgy. as individuals, have not only a tight, hut are under an obligation to do duty as cit-z-ns. Their right to po itical opinions ai.d political preferences is an unquestionable right. At the same time, in exercising tha 1 right, they are bound ,o be exceedingly cautions that t ht ydo no: attempt to use their holy pro fession for political purposes. They are made men with duties as men, .citizens wi'h duties as citizens; but the ministry which is entrusted to them by their Master is i.ot subject to their owe. whims and ca prices, nor have they the right to ÜBe it for any other purpose than that which is stated in their commission—the delivery of a message to man from God; the preaching of a gospel, not to nations or governments, which are thiuge of an hour, but to the soul of man, which s to outlast the evanescent dynasties which men de vise. It is impossible for a right thinking mao to avoid a BeDsation of pain, an? prrbbps a deeper emotion, when he hears a < lergyman degrade hie char hc-,-r and mission by making it other than Oo 1 ha* made i*. I’he danger ot thi- has aiwbysbaen recognized, and therefore m all civilized coantriea, and even in barbar oif countries, there has been a uniform practice of exempting clergymen from some dunes which might lead to an inter mingling of the two characters, the clergy man and the citizen, so as to debase the influence of the former to the level of the latter. The cjffiyqmtAaßA jr^»g»y^" , BiAnu bf*£il nave been debarred from holding civil office. The latter provision has not met with general approval. The former has always been regarded os nectary to ih • puri'y of religion in all nat.Mis, until the radicalism ol our own country abolished the exemption and broke down this important wall between religion and politics. This was doubtless th- resuit ot ihe Abolition effort which for years declared that the accomplishment uf ii a designs co.;ld only be achieved ‘'over the ruins of the American Church and the American Union " The attack of the Infidel threes was directed as fiercely against the church as against ihe Union, and it is to be feared that they have sqc eeeded in doing almost as great injury to one as to the other. ie war meeting at Cooper Institute, on Thursday evening, was in the maiu a great success. The arrangments were made without distinction ot political par and both Demo rata and Republican public apeattera addressed the meeting in patriotic speeches. saying nothing to of fend i.r roose the feelings of men of oppo site views as to the meaenre ot the war Rev. Mr. Trumbull, an army chaplain, whose services and suffering entitled him 10 speak for the information of the meet mg, made an ioipiessive address. Bat the proceedings were marred by an ill timed address trom a clergyman whose allusions to lbe sacred Scriptures were little else than blasphemous, certainly toolish and calculated to do no good. He seemed to desire to create the itup fusion that the people of the vSouth are unfit to be mem bers of our body politic, while we are pouring out our blood and treasure to compel to become soch. With a boy’s iooluhnes' he thought to moke a good poio r by teliiug his hearers tnat Judus was the only apostle born in .Southern Pal eeline, forgetting that the Lord himself was bom m that South, and that this small wit. was only a sneer at the birthplace of Chriit. We respectfully submit to the clergy who stay at home to preach to the people at home, that the illustrations of existing things with us, which some of them occasionally seek in Holy Writ, are not calculated to do good, but rather to do evil. The treason of Judas is vastly too solemn a story to bo cited even in a war mtei mg. for the purpoct of rousing hatred and mdiguution again -P, a claßs of people, oiid the aid which such citations afford to the men who would bring reli giun into disrespect is great. It is not uecessary, nor is if desirable for the public good, that men should be called on to address war-meetings, who draw iheir illustrations from inose high and holy subjects winch belong solely to the relations of man to God. Let the church be p. from the dangerous attempt to make it a part ot human political ma cninery, however vahiabie its influence may seem to be for human ends. It must be preserved for higher good even than the saving of a great country. — N. Y, Jour, of Com. A Tad Case of Seduction. From the Dubuque Herald.

This little bantling is a child of sin, that was long ago deserted by those who should give it protection, and is already bqffeted about the world, and subsists only by the chanty of Btrangers. Its mother is the daughter of an old and wealthy citizen in the upper part of the city, and its lather is reputed to be a fashionable young man of the town, who, very naturally, it is but justice to add, denies altogether ttye sort impeachment. It was but a da yB since that the child was taken to hia pmee of business and it would have been left the most disagreeable kind of a bnrdeq upon bis hands had he not practiced a little strategy upon its bearer. Other aooounta, however, place the paternity elsewhere, ' and we bonbt not with more Justice. - After the child was born its mother was turned in disgrace from the protection ot the paternal roof and has wandered away we know not where. Before she left, however, she put the child in the possession of a woman living a short dis tance m the country in Dubuque county. And then the mother went forth, deserted by her seducer, repelled by her father, while she in turn forgot a mother's nature and deserted her child. The little waif remained with the woman in whose charge it had been placed until a recent domestic calamity made it impossible for her to harbor it longer. Tt was then taken to its reputed father as already related, bnt he would have nothing to do with it. the Superintendent of the Poor wrsap phed to, but he would not receive it as a public charge, because the grandfather was abundantly able and able tor its support. Others were Applied to and among them Mr. Collufr, tnt non^ ! would take it.

Hia home is at Newark, 'Ohio, He first attracted Rosecrai s attention daring a review at Nashville, where he was acting sb marker lor his regiment. His extreme youth (he is quite smell for bis age) and intelligent appearauce iiitersfited the General, and, calling him out. he questioned him ae to faiß name, age, regiment. &c Gen, Rose crans spoke encouragingly to the young soldier, aud told him to come and seefcim whenever he came where he was. He saw no more of Clem untif Saturday last, when he went to his place of residence —the Barnett House—and found Johnny Clem silling on his sofa, waiting to see him. Johnny had experienced some of “ e vicissitudes of war since they last met. He had been captured by Wheeler’s cav alry near Bridgeport. His captors took him to Wueeler, who B&luted him with ‘ VVh it are you doing here, you d—n littie Yankee scoundrel ?" Pile Johnny c’lem, stoutly—■■ General Wheeler, I am no more ad —d aconadrel than you are, sir.” Johnny eaid that the rebe's stole about all that he had, including his pocket book, which contained only twenty-five cents. “But I would not have cared for the rest, he added, “if they hadn’t stole my hat, which had three bulled holes in Al. gfttfiQißnd pfr.' nhis ■»■■■ Me 1 ?'. 1 1'ityyvar On Saturday he was on hie way to Camp Chase to his regiment, having been ex changed. Gen. Roßecrans observed that the yonng soldier had cuevrons on his arm, and asked the meaning of it. He said he was promoted to a corporal for shooting a rebel Colonel at Chickamauga. fue Coioiiel was mounted, aud stopped Johnny at s me pc-int on the field cry ing, “stop yon little Yankee devil.’’ Johnny halted, bringing his Austrian rifle to an “order,” thus throwing the Colonel off his guard, cocked his piece, (which he could easily do, being so short,) and suddenly bringing it to his shoulder, fired, the Colonel falling dead, with a ballet through his breast. lhe little fellow told his story simply and modestly, and the General determin ed to honor his bravery. He gave him the badge of “Roll of Honor,” which Mrs. Saunders, the wife of the hoet of the Burnett Hoose. sewed upon Johnny's coat. His eyes glistened with pride as he looked upon the badge, and little Johnny seemed to have grown an inoh or two taller, he stood so erect. He left his photograph with Gen. Roeecrans, who exhibits it '-vith pride. We may again bear from Johnny Clem, the youngeet soidier in the Army of the Cumberland.— Cin. Times A Melancholy Narrative, Mr. Hobbs, a native of Bath, a chair maker, his wife and a family of six, left their native place some months previously for a town in Algiers ; but failing in their expectations,they wished logo to England, and applied to the British Consul, who introduced them to Capt. Montgomerie, the master of the Robert Drape, of An drossan. a schooner of 112 tons, which was the only vessel then in at that port bound to London. The Capt. states that from a feeling of compassion for them, he undertook to give the whole family a pas sage to England for<£l4 ; but he repre sente that he expended £l7 in purchasing additional stores at Algiers. There were two spare bunks in the cabin, divided from that part used by be Capt. and Mate, for the accommodation of the wife and daughters, and two spare bunks in the loreoastle were allotted to the father and sons The schooner put to sea on the sth of August, and, owing to the weather being warm, it is stated that the family wished to be berthed in the long boat, which stood on deck. Their desire was complied with, an awning being erected over the boat to afford some shelter. A day or so after the voyage commenced the family suffered much from sea sickness, and several ot them were seized with ague. The Capt. states that he had fresh provisions up to when the vessel was off Cape St. Vincent; but neither the parents nor the children could be iudncedto take any solid food ; they preferred tea. He also states that they were often persuaded to leave the boat and go to the bunks in the cabin and forecastle, but they refused. At 8 p. m. on August 26th, G. Hobbs, the eldest sou, 18 years ot age, died in the boat of exhauation, consequent on sea sickness, and on the following day the body was buried. Two days after wards, and on the evening of the 27th, another of the children, Emily, five years, expired in the boat; and at midnight of the same ’ day, the third child, Richard Hobbs, nine years of age, breathed his last, and in the morning the two bodies were committed to the deep. The father, mother, and remaining three ohildreti still remained in the boat, and the Capt. states that all his remonstrances foiled in induc ing them to leave it*, He prepared what nourishment he could for them, but he bad great difficulty in getting to take anything. They still preferred tea. Rough weather was met with in coming op the channel, and on the night of the 8d ioat, when the vessel was between ’Dun gen ess and Dover, Elizabeth the eldest daughter, aged sixteen, was releas ed from her sufferings. A)o the schponer an iying in the' Downs, the Violet lugger, of Deal was hailed, and the. Capt. Jf the schooner desired the parents, the two surviving children, and the oorpse Sf the young girl to be taken on Bhore.
