THE LATEST NEWS.
, The Times Mobile correspondent repre
sents a terrible state of affairs in Alabama.
There is absolute social demoralization, and
labor is so despised by the white population
that they actually prefer starvation or beg
ging to work in any form, and even in their
poverty and wretchedness they show the
most virulent spirit of dissaffection. Mili
tary protection is neccessary against the de
struction of the whole population by an
archy." Secretary Seward still cxepriences great
difficulty in speaking and eating, his lower
jaw being fastened so as to be immovable.
The lower part of his face is completely en
veloped in the mechanical contrivances for
keeping his jaw in place so that it may heal.
He is able to attend to business. His son
Frederick is now entirely out of danger.
The wool growers of Canada have fixed
the price at sixty cents per pound. The law
of demand and supply was too much for the
growers, and wool had to be sold at forty to
forty-two cents. In various parts of Cana-
da it is selling down as low as thirty-five
cents per pound, at which price American
buyers are taking it up rapidly.
While a body of two hundred men were
engaged at battallion drill at West Point,
a few days since, a low cloud discharged itself
of its electricity, seemingly through the at
traction of the two hundred bright gun bar
rels. Several men were stunned, and a large
portion of the guns were knocked out of
their owners' hands.
The Inquirer s Washington special, giv

nephew of Gen. Lee.
Great activity is reported at Wilmington

Nearly two and-a-half millions of Nation
al currency were issued last week, making

Eebels and Copperheads.
On Monday last a-week, a dispatch to the
New York Times contained the following :
" It is reported that the rebels have a deci
ded majority in the Virginia House of
" Delegates, or members elected by rebel
' ' votes. ' ' This announcement,- it seems, ac
corded so perfectly with the feelings and de
sires of the Copperhead editors and leaders,
that they could not refrain from rejoicing,
and in the fullness of their hearts they ex
claimed, "Good for Virginia!1' "And so
" Virginia, glorious old State, has gone, (to
"speak plainly,) overwhelmingly for De
"mocracy!" thus acknowledging that the
Rebels and Democracy or rather, that the
Rebels and the Copperheads are one that
both these classes stand upon the same plat
form, and that both have been working for
the same ultimate object the defeat of the
gallant defeuders of the Union.
This fact, that the' two are identical, has
been asserted more than a thousand times
by the friends of the Union, and as often
denied by the Copperheads ; but now, (when
the war is oyer, and scores of rebels have
sneaked back to their former homes, and
without taking the prescribed oath of alle
giance have succeeded in controlling an elec
tion,) these Northern dough-faced semi-secessionists
rejoice over the defeat of the true
Union men of the South, and acknowledge
that the Rebels are "overwelmingly for De
mocracy ;" or, in other words,that the Reb
els will unite with the Copperheads in de
feating their common enemy the Union
men North and South.
Foreign Immigration.
The Baltimore convention performed a
good work when they inserted a plank in
their platform declaring that the immigra
tion of foreigners had always been a source
of prosperity to the nation and should be en
couraged. Such a declaration from a Con
vention representing the will and policy of
the national administration did much to ri
pen that golden harvest of immigration
which is now being gathered on our shores.
And as soon as it shall have been generally
known throughout Europe that rebellion is
crushed aud peace restored, the tide of im
migration will be greatly swelled. The sta
tistics on this subject are very encouraging.
The arrivals at New York alone are now av
eraging a thousand a day, and we learn from
the Irish and German papers that the offi
ces of the different lines of vessels plying be
tween this country and Europe are daily
crowded by immigrants eager to obtain pas
sage to America. Such is the character of
these immigrants, that it is estimated by
the General Agent who has charge of the
Emigrant Landing depot in New York, that
each passenger brings, on an average, eighty
dollars in gold. This, at the rate of a thou
sand immigrants a day, would amount to a
large sum in the year. Such a source of
prosperity should receive encouragement
that would make it flow most freely.
The Missouri Constitution.
It seems that the city of St. Louis hasde
clared against the New Constitution of Mis
souri by a large majority. This result lias
been secured through the most unblushing
perjury and corruption. Returned rebels,
.whose hands were reeking with the noble
blood of loyal men, marched with the coolest
effrontery to the polls and made oath that
they had never been anything but loyal cit
izens of the United States had never con
tributed either directly or indirectly to the
support of the slaveholders' rebellion and
never joined the armies of the Confederacy,
protesting at the same time against being
adjured, and treating the oath as a mere po
litical farce, and of no moral obligation.
Notwithstanding all the frauds that were
perpetrated the friends of the Constitution
are still sanguine that it has been ratified by
the State at large. It is worthy of note
that the returned Union soldiers wentin sol
id phalanx for the New Constitution. If it
has been defeated, the result has been ac
complished through the frauds committed
by disloyal men and rebel sympathisers.
The Great Mobile Fire.
New Orleans ad vices of June the 6thstate
that an important clue to the cause of the
late disastrous explosion at Mobile is
thought to have been obtained. A man
named Wall has been arrested at Mobile,
charged with being implicated. He states
that he and two others, on the night pre
vious to the explosion,' placed torpedoes be
tween the buildings containing powder; that
the work was performed under the direc
tion of a rebel major, who threatened them
instant death if they disobeyed or offered to
resist, and the major afterwards lighted a
fuze of a shell connected with the infernal
arrangement. Torpedoes have also been
discovered in the rooms of the Custom
House, so as to explode on the opening of
the doors. Others were found concealed in
desks in the same building.
The "War in Mexico.
General Rugules, with a part of the first
division of the Central National Army of
Mexico, attacked the city of Tacambano, in
the State of Michoaean, on April 11th, and
took it by storm, capturing all the garrison,
including two hundred Belgians, together
with their ammunition, artillery, ect. A few
days before, the national forces captured a
train, with supplies and ammunition, sent
from Morolia to Pascuaro, and defeated the
French forces "at Purendino, Cuitzeo, and
Zinapeazaro, all in the State of Michoaean.
CHUECH AHD STATE.
The United States have sustained much
detriment from the attempts made,from time
to time, to divorce politics and religion.
This has arisen from a misunderstanding of
the opinions of the Fathers who framed the
organic laws of the country. They did not
believe that religion had nothing to do with
politics. On the contrary, they believed
that every act of the State should have a di
vine sanction, as well as every act of the
Church. But they feared the effects and in
fluence of "ecclesiastical establishments"
such as existed in the Old World, and
whose despotisms and intolerance caused
the Puritans to seek for a home in the in
hospitable wilds of the New World. In
modern times, the attempt to separate them
has been made by designing politicians who
did not desire that either their principles or
practice should be brought to the light of
divine truth. Through the misrepresenta
tions of this class, many well meaning men
have. had their judgment biased, and cred
ulity imposed upon, and been mysteriously
reasoned into the belief that not onlyjhas re
ligion nothing to do with politics, but that
between them there exists an inveterate and
irreconcilable antagonism. Indeed, they have
imitated the example of Constantme the
Great, and made religion the slave of poli
tics. Christianity had become so powerful
an element that Constantine believed his im
perial sway was not secure without it. Reb
els and their sympathisers do not ignore re
ligion altogether, but they declare that re
ligion must remain in a state of servile sub
jection to their will and purpose. In their
opinion, for a minister to preach against the
crime of slavery, which is everywhere con
demned iu th? word of God, is to preach
politics, but to demonstrate its divine right,
authority and institution is to proclaim the
pure and unadulterated gospel of Christ.
It is not our design at present to discuss
this matter on its merits, nor to cite author
ities to prove that there is an indissoluble
union between the pulpit and politics. Dr.
John A. Mason, one ot the most learned
and brilliant pulpit orators that ever Ameri
ca has yet produced, speaks forth the words
of truth and soberness on this subject. "That
religion, "says he, "has in tact nothing to do
with the politics of many who prote-s it, is
a melancholy truth ! But that it lias, of right,
no concern with political transactions, is quite
a new discovery. Can you persuade yourself
that political men and measures are to under
go no review inthejudgementto come? That
all the passion and violence, the fraud and
falsehood and;corrupt ion which pervade the
system of partj'.and burst out like a flood at
the public elections, are to be blotted from
the catalogue of unchristian deeds because
they are politics ? Or that a minister
of the Gospel may see his people,
in their political career, bid defiance
to their God in breaking through every
moral restraint, and keep a guiltless silence
because religion has nothing to do with pol
itics? Many of our difficulties and sins may
be traced to this pernicious notion. If our
religion had had more to do with our poli
tics, it would have been infinitely better
for us at this day."
But we have the example and the author
ity of the Saviour, Paul, the Prophets and
the best men ot every age, for saying that
there is a perfect compatibility between pol
itics and religion.
Much of the opposition given in these
latter days to the intermingling of the two
things arises from a mistaken notion of the
nature, character and source of civil govern
ments. They are supposed to be human
rather than divine institutions tob'efound
ed on the will of men rather than on the
will and ordinance of God. Now if the Bi
ble speaks the truth when it says "the pow
ers that be are ordained of God," and that
all magistratical authority and power have a
divine command as their sanction, can we
suppose, for a moment, that the Supreme
Ruler of the universe, by delegating the
power of civil rule to man. thereby sets a
side and destroys the principles of his own
moral government ? "That the God of mor
al government has incoiporated the princi
ples of that government in the subordinate
and delegated governments of men, is no
more to be doubted, than that he is the au
thor of human government."
We have been led into this train of
thoughts fronitheeircumstaneesof our times
and the action of the different ecclesiastical
assemblies in the country fcr the last three
or four years. Many of these bodies ignor
ed to the last the idea of mixing up ecclesi
astical withpolitical'action t It hough annually
they perpetrated the crime. Churches
which claimed to be a bond of union, have
leeome according to Stanton in hisJ"Church
and the War," the very cause of dis-union,
by attenpting to divorce what God has join
ed together. The State has shed lijrht on
their counsels, and they are benefited by it.
They have to a great extent made atone
ment for past delinquencies. They have
come out nobly to the rescue, and we can
unite with many of our contemporaries
throughout the country and say, "The pul
pit saved the nation." We never wish to
see an established religion in this land as
there is in many European nations, but we
do hope that the Church will not fail to in
struct the State in the Science of Political
Ethics, though disappointed politicians
should exclaim, "Art thou come hitherto
torment us before the time ?" Pittsburgh
Gazette.
Negro Suffrage. '
The Tribune, in the course of some re
marks on this subject, says :
"We are very willing and believe the U
nionists, white and black, would be willing
to accept an installment cf justice, ana
have the whole matter settled amicably and
finally. If the Southern States will provide
that every Mack who can read intelligently,
who owns real estate and has paid a tax,
shall be a voter, we would gladly accept this
as a settlement of a vexed question, though it
would probably not, for tl e present, enable
one negro in a hundred perhaps not one
in five hundred to vote. But if the blacks
are to be proscribed forever if they are to be
taxed bythe votesof whites who pay no tax,
yet allowed no voice in levying those taxes
or spending those proceeds if they are to
be. held evermore as outcasts and lepers in
the bind of their birth if they are to be de
barred from all political rights by the votes
of "Three Millions of rebels," and told that
this is their punishment for having aided to
overthrow the rebellion why then we think
the republic will owe them at least a de
termined effort to see them righted, and we
shall incline to make that effort.'
Tt is announced that the writ of habeas
corpus will be restored at an early day.
Notes of Third Series of 7.30s now ready.
The demand for the Second Series of the
7-30 Notes was so great that the Treasury
Department was unable to print them with
sufficient rapidity to fill the orders. It will
be remembered that a hundred millions were
subscribed and paid for in a single week.
The printing presses have finally surmount
ed the difficulty, and on Wednesda-, June
7th, the deliveries of the third series com
menced, and will le continued with the same
promptness that marked the supply of the
notes of the first and second series. It has
been this interruption of delivery at the time
of subscription which has given an appear
ance of a falling off in the popular taking of
the loan, the great body of small takers -being
unwilling to pay their money unless they
receive their notes right in hand, to carry
them home. It is expected that after this
week the daily subscriptions to the Seven
Thirties will run up into millions, as they
will undoubtedly Ik stimulated by the open
ing of the farmers' wool markets East and
West. It is not at all likely that the Gov
ernment will ever again offer so desirable a
security as these notes, and about two hun
dred millions only remain to be taken.
With the close of the war the national ex
penses will be vastly reduced, and investors
must look for a sharp reduction in the rate
of interest as soon as the present loans be
come due, and can be paid off. There is no
reason why the United States credit for
money should ever again fall below its credit
for courage. The same spirit that preserv
ed the geographical integrity of thecountiy
will place its pecuniary integritj' on a par
with that of the most favored nations and
that will represent a rate of interest under
rather than over four per cent.
Vallandigham in the Ditch.
In the State of Ohio the last ditch has
been found by no less an ardent sympathiser
with treason than C. L. Vallandigham. He
has" written a letter owning that he was
wrong about the War for the Union. He
rejoices that slavery is destroyed and the U
nion saved ; sees at present no reason why
the Democracy should not give a cordial
support to President Johnson in his efforts
to restore "the prosperity of his Country,
under the Constitution ; and declares that
without slavery the Southern States, with
perhaps two or three exceptions, "will be
come more populous, prosperous and pow
erful than any other section." Such ad
missions from a virulent rebel sympathiser
like Vallandigham show the utter annihila
tion of all hope of saving slavery or impe
ding the grand forward march of the Re
public. Operations of the TJ. S. Mint.
The gold coinage at the mint in Philadel
phia, during the month of May, was $572.
91J92; principally in double eagles, and
the silver coinage $45,830 04, nearly all in
half and whole dollars. The copper coinage
was $41,lu0 in cents, $16,200 in two cent
pieces. The whole number of pieces coined
during the month is G,9G1,900, and of this
number over four millions were copper cents,
for three years past the coinage of cent
have averaged about five million per month,
and until within a few months one was rarely
met with. They are now gradually coming
on the market, but still the wonder is where
they all are.
Death of Hon. Ner Middlesworth.
Hou. Ner Middlesworth, of Snyder coun
ty, died on June 2d, in the 72d year of his
age. He was a Captain in the War of 1812,
and distinguished himself for his gallantry
in several battles. He served with distinc
tion in both branches of the Legislature,
represented his district in Congress, aud for
five years was an associate judge on the
bench of his resident county. He was a
strong-minded common sense imbued man,
whose natural energy and integrity of char
acter rendered him respected and beloved
by his fellow-citizens.
A Gun Spiked.
When General Sherman accepted the hos
pitalities of the Union Leagues of New
York city, he unwittingly spiked one of the
most formidable rebel guns ever directed a
gainst the Government, in silencing the ful
some and hypocritical praise of himself by
the Copperhead press. After the accept
ance of fellowship with his loyal friends,
Gen. Sherman is not regarded by the cops
as quite as fit for President, as he was when
on the eve of a rupture with the civil au
t hori ties. Telegraph.
Returns from seventy-one counties, in

President Johnson.
The Washington correspondent of the
Independent throws out the following sug
gestions, which, no doubt, are timely :
Let me warn impulsive Republicans a
gainst a hasty iudgment of the President in
this matter, lie may prove as radical as
Mr. Sumner himself before the yeatends.
It is wise to create a strong: public senti
ment on this subject a sentiment that will
support the President in taking bold ground
hereafter in support of universal suffrage at
the South. But attacks upon hint before
he has had time to decide definately upon
his policy, are not justifiable. Personally,
he favors negro suffrage. He has said so
repeatedly of late, lie is in doubt as to the
means to be used. Probably he has a little
of the old prejudice against the negro. But
if he has, can we of the free States cast
stones at him? Republican Philadelphia
is in a tempest because a black man attempts
to ride in the horse-cars. The black man is
still disliked at the North. Give Mr. John
son a little time to watch events. The Vir
ginia election was worth more to us than a
hundred severe criticisms, for the President
is determined that slavery and disunion
must die. He begins to see that he cannot
destroy them without the aid cf the negro
at the ballot box, as we did not and could
not onnuer the armies of the rebellion with
out his help.
