writhing in nsguish. He must not flinch. It is death ti delist. His hoait must be steeled, and every feature of his face schooled into apathy. But when hia work is done, and the operation is successful, he puis his h"ad between his knees and bursts int.) a flood of tears. So, while this war was upon us, tho (tain of u«r hearts was intense ; but we could not falter. We wete forced to be a3 composed as possible. And when reverses came, and some were predicting failure and ruin, it was necessary togo forward with steady perseverance. Some even seemed to think that those of us who had friends in the army had hardly nat ural affaction for them. Hut we felt that the sacrifice was necessary, and that ex pressions of grief might weaken the hands of those whose work it was to suppress the rebellion. Now, when the surgical opention is performed^and the patient relieved, we feel unnerved. The foun tain of our hearts is broken up. Wc may weep tears partly *f sorrow and partly of joy, as wo come before God this day. The work-19 done—the crisis is over— let Us weep upon each others neck", and bless our God. But will w« sympathize with those whose husbands, sons, and brothers have laid down their lives for their country. Of. this congre gation we may mention Lieut. Alfred G. Reed, and Capt. Wni. Jack, who died after rcceivinggrievous wounds; Neyman Beattyand Thomas Seamen, who were killed in battle; Br. Lowman, B<rvid Walker,Capt. Samuel Martin, John Jam ison, G. W. Zimmerman, Charles Mc- Candless and Win. Thorn, who died of disease contracted in the service ; Thos. 8. Byers, James M. Byers and Solomon Moser, who died under the treatment re ceived iti Southern prisons; and William Bcatty, whoso death occurred, if I recol lect, by disease. Klisha Bracken, too, was, not long since, one of us. He was-killed in battle. Wounds, resulting in the loss of limbs, have been received by Samuel Walker, Francis Eastman and Jefferson Burtner. Severe wounds by several others. About GO members of this con gregation have endured the toils and dan gers of a soldier's life. So far as I know, they have done it cheerfully; and the most of them have been brave and patient soldiers. God will own their serrices, so far as it has been from right motives. We will honor our country's defenders, and cherish the memory of those of them who died in the service. If President Lincoln is to bo honored and his memory cherished as a martyr, so will we cherish the memories of our sol diers who shed their blood for the same great cause. They were not so conspicu ous, but in their sphere they labored as hard and .fell as honorably for their country. Booth aimed his weapon at thejiation's head. The rebel leaders aimed their blows at the whole nation's existence. Our sol iers stood between us and the blows, shielding our heads at the expense of their own. It is said that tens of thou sands of those brave men fell a sacrifice. But our tears aro mingled with thanks giving that it was for law and right that they fell. A third ennse fur sorrow and humilia- tion is, that our financial loss is so great t The debt of our country has run up to rearly S3,UOO,UOU,OUO. * This is some thing like 100 dollars for every man. woman and child in our great Republic. It could not have been expected that with a four years' war of such magnitude, thedebt would be much less. To this debt aro to bo added the immense losses of property, especially in the South, by which a lovely and and fruitful land has been turned into a desert. The spectacle is sad indeed ! A fourth cause for sorrow and humil iation before God is, especially the sins oj our country, that brought this dire evil upon us. Ido not consider slavery theon/y sin of which wc hare been guilty. But its con nection with this dreadful rebellion, and the cruelties committed by those who have had special charge of the institution, show that it is an evil of the greatest magni tude. .Dr. Boardman Says, "We must all reprobate its agency in stimulating the leaders of this rebellion to their assault upon the Union." He also says, •' that it has produced an ■untold amount ofevil, physical and moral." No doubt this is true, that aftei all that has been said, in the pulpit and by the press, the '■ amount of evil produced" by slavery is " untold." No tongue can tell it. Our own General Assembly reiterates the action of A. D. 1818, in A. 1). 1864 thus : " We consider the voluntary en slaving of one portion of the human race by another as a gross violation of the most precious and sacred rights of human nature, as entirely inconsistent with the law ol God, which requires us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and as totally ir reconcilable with the spirit and principles of the Gospel of Cftrist, which enjoins "that all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Slavery creates a paradox in the moral system. It exhibits rational, moral and accountable beings in such circumstances as scarcely to learn them the power of ac tion It exhibits them as dependent on the will of others, whether they shall reoeive religious instruction; whether they shall know und worship the truo God; whether they shall enjoy the ordinances of the Gospel; whether they shall per form the duties and cherish the endear ments of husbands and wives, parents and children, neighbors and friends ; whether they shall preserve their chastity and pu rity, or regard din dictates of justice and humanity. Such nMAsorae of the conse quences of slavery—consequences not im aginary, but which connect themselves with its very existence.' Thus speaks our Geueral Assembly, without a dissent ing vote. Having on the last fast-day gives my viows pretty on slavery, I, shall »ot now dwell furtner japoa utg evils. Among the *tfis o#four country, well calculated to bumble us. and oiling for humility, is the vice of inted^rmice. — After all that has be n said and done to banish this evil from our land, itafceuis to be on the iiterease. It is found places aud in low. The officers iAaur army are many 0f them we can credit the rumors. Many of our Congressmen drink to exoeas. . The situ- ation of the present ami otherwise excel lent President of the United States on the day of the inauguration of his lamented predecessor, and of Ms JJWH assuming the Vice-Presidency, has been made a sub ject of geheral«eomiuent. It is raported that President Lincoln conversed serious ly with him on the subject, afterwards, and that Mr. Johnson said, it was the last time that he would thus indulge. He has since signed a declaration that in his judgment the ifte of intoxicating drinks is not ouly unnecessary but also greatly injurious. We are taught however there by the weakness of man, and the necessi ty of total abstinence, and the duty ol humility before God. I have not time to dwell upon our va rious sins—Avarice, Sabbath-breaking, Impurity, &c. May God give us true re pentance this da,y and continually. A fifth reason for sorrow is that public morals nre likely to suffer. Many of the soldiers will not be contented to walk as heretofore in the peaceful paths of indus. try. Some of the ilffieers and soldiers will no doubt, be less temperate, less re gardful of the Sabbath, and more addict ed to profanity than they were. And yet, those who have passed thrgugh the con flict with their morals unimpaired, will be stronger and better than ever. Their virtue has been tested, and purified in the furnace through which they have passed. On these accounts, "the victory has *ei n turned into mourning." But let us, 11. Consider our causes for rejoicing and thanksgiving. ]. Wc ought to be thankful for virion/. No doubt that Israel was truly thankful that Absalom's rebellion was suppressed. And the outward demonstration* would have been abuudaut, had they not been chastened and controled through respect for David's grief. So our demonstrations of joy woulti have been extravagant and excessive, to a sinful degree perhaps, if it had not been for the sad catastrophe.— The good taste ; and real heart-felt sor row ; and piety, of our people; have combined to turn the exultations for vic tory iuto badges of mourning. And yet we ought to rejoice and ho thankful.— Prayers have been ascending all over our land, that God would suppress the wicked rebellion. Now, when those prayers are heaid, and answered,-it would be sinful not to rejoice and to pour out our grate ful acknowledgements. Our good gov ernment has been sustained against an im mense pressure; our Northern homes have net becu invaded ; wicked men have been hurled from their usurped seats of power; and their violent dealings have come down, emphatically upon their own pates. Assassins have been arrested ; and one has ignobly perished. By the flag of our country, the foot of the vile Booth was tripped, and thus crippled; showing that that flag, when it fails, entirely to protect our country's lriends, will avenge our country's enemies. l''or our glorious suc cesses we praise the God of nations. And here it may be proper to remark that every prayer offered for our country's success, every encouraging word uttered, every resolution adopted bv religious and civil bodies, and evon every patriotic song; had aneflectin bringing about the glorious result. Some thought that chris tian men said too much, aud that Eccle siastical bodies passed too many resolu tions in favor of upholding the govern ment in its work of suppressing the re bellion. But words of encouragement were necessary ; and added to our coun try's strength. These words of cheer en couraged the soldiers, and encouraged those who were paying taxes, aud encour aged our rulers. There may have been soma intemperate language used, as, no doubt, there was; but even that should be overlooked in such a contest for the life of the nation. 2. We ought to give thanks for the prospects of peace. O how sweet will it be to enjoy peace onec more ! What joy will it he to gra-p the hands of our sous and brothers, re turned in safety out of the very jaws of death ; and to return no more to the dread encounter I The desolated countries too, will become fruitful again. Amity and good will, will no doubt be restored. And >.ur beloved country will enter upon a new career of prosperity. Becoming wiser from the experience of the past, and seeking God's merciful protection, and .abundant grace, may we not anticipate a fright and glorious future ? There is & recuperative energy in this Republic, which with God's blessing will soon restore our land to prosperity even greater than it has ever enjoyed If the minerals now annually brought out of the mines of Pennsylvania alone could be applied to the purpose, in 25 years they would extinguish the vast debt con tracted in this war, principal and interest. The oil wells in Venango County, at the present value of their yield, would do it in a century. 3d, Finally, we have cause to be tkank ful at the prospect of the entire removal of slavery from our lan J. This immense evil is said even now to be distroyed. The General Assembly of our church, last year, uttered the following language: " The General Assembly does hereby de voutly express it3 gratitude to Almighty God for having arrested the wickedness and the calamities of the rebellion, so as to wort out the deliverance of our coun try from the evil and guilt of slavery ; and recommend to all in our communion to labor honestly.earnestly,and unwearied- Iy iu their respective spheres for this glorious consummation, to which human justice, christian love, national peace anil prosperity, every earthly and every reli gious interest combine to pledge them." Yes, gratitude becomes us, this day, that a constitutional amendment, which has received support from almost a suf ficient number of States to render it a portion of the Constitution, will soon t?ke awuv tho last vestige of slavery. What is to be done with 4,000,000 of emancipated slaves? is a solemnion. But. Gotl. who has so wonderfi*Hy inter red. will, no doubt, open up the way for their instruction and elevation, 112 And now, brethren, how shall the re moval of President Lincoln be sanctified to this nation ? God only can make it a blessing to us. I. It wffl be sanctified ta us as a- na tion, if ceau/runt wur. a God alone is great. Bonth in high places tells us that man in his best estate is altogether vanity. Bonbtiess wo are in dangor of pscriblog.to human, power and wisdom what belongs to God only. Let us learn from the removal of the Presi dent in a manner KO unexpected, to feel that no niau is essential to our country. God raises up and casts dowu accord ing to his inscrutable wisdom, and his plans will be carried out for the best. 2d. This dispensation of Providence will be blessed to the nation if it makes us more serious and thouyh'.ful. There was a sinful gayety and levity in Washing ton, and in many other places, at the time o: the late,inauguration of the President. The great ball, got lip (uot by the Presi dent,) but by the light and gay, seemed to those that had lost sons and brothers and husbands and fathers in the army, very much out of place Places of fash ionable amusement were perhaps never mure thronged than last winter. The death of the President at tier theatre, and by a 1 actor, tells us lu>w sad an education is given toactors! Their familiarity with tragedies, prepares them to irth ise and perpetrate real tragedies. The theatre is a school of vice, especially to the actors. And spectators cannot but be injured. Our life should be spent, not in fri volity, but in doing life's earnest work. 3d. This bereavement will be sancti fied to the nation, if it lead to more earn est prayer for our rulers. The word of God enjoins upon us to pray for them. Ist Tim. 2:1. "I exhort, therefore, first of nil, supplications, prayafs, inter cessions, and giving of thanks be made for all meu; for kings aild all that are in au thority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceably life, in all godliness and hon esty." At this time such vast responsibilities rest upon our rulers, that all christian men should earnestly invoke God't favor toward thcin. and liii aid for them, in con summating the work of peace and right eousness. If our nation now prove true to God, we may expect a glorious revival of his work. Many christians are expecting that the termination of the war will bring in precious revivals of religion; that the baptism of blood will bo followed with a glorious baptism of the Holy Ghost. If so, this natiou will be prepared togo for ward in a careci of usefulness and glory unparalleled in the history of the world. May the great God, in whose hands are our destinies, have compassion upon us, and by these terrible things, in right eousness tit us for all his holy will. Ameu. Tlif Lincoln Memorial Fund. The to a memorial fuud, for the benetit of the family of the late President Lincoln, Vis assumed a definite shape, aud we would recommend it to the friends of our late Chief Magistrate. 1 he following letter will explain itself: NEW YORK, May Ist., 1805. Mr. S. F. Von Bonhortt, P. M. Pitts burgh, Pa.: SIU —At the request of many patriotic citizens I am acting as Treasurer of the Subscriptions of the " Lincoln Memorial Fuud," which is beinj- collected hero and in some of the neighboring cities, in sums of one dollar, to be presented to the family of our late beloved and martyred President, Abraham Lincoln. The labor of collecting a large sum in small sub scriptions will be considerable, but its ad ditional value, as a testimonial Jfrom the people, is regarded as a sufficient reason for the restriction of the amount. A list of all the contributors will be presented with the fund, and indue time published. As it is eminently desirable that all localities should be represented in the fund, I respectfully request your aid as Assistant Treasurer of this fund at Pittsburgh. In remitting amounts collcctci please send the name of each contributor. The receipt of amounts will be acknowledged by return mail, aud, to reduce expenses for postage, as many as possible should be sent in each remittance. Below please find blank subscription list; which yeu can extend by attaching additional sheets, and merely exhibiting it where our people cau see its object, will, I think, be all the appeal necessary in its behalf; for it is a debt we owe to the example, the services, the sacrifices, the character of our '• Great Departed," and of our natiou, which hp loved well, and in whose cause he died.

I beg most respectfully to recommend to the citizens of Allegheny, as well as of neighboring counties, the above plan of subscriptions to the " Lincoln Memorial Fund."

SURUATT IN A NUNNERY.—Our dispatches announce that J. 11. SUR RATT has been tracked, by detectives, to the door of a convent in Canada. This bring 3 to mind a statement made some time age by the Washington correspondent of the New York Her ald, that all the persons then arrested as accomplices of BOOTH, were raised in the Roman Catholic religion. We observed this statement as a curious one. Three - r four Priests have testi fied to the good character of Mrs. SURRATT, the mother, who is on trial in Washington. Her virtuous son, who escaped the vigilance of justice in the Uuited- States, has, it now ap pears, found refuge and sanctuary in a Canadian convent. The detectives appear to have given up the further pursuit in despair. JThc gjmrrtratt Cittfen; pigi" The Largest Circulation oj any Paper in the County. THOMAS ROBINSON. - - Editor. M. W. SPKAH.

Kvplaiiatory. Wo have been credibly informed that the "Citizen" has been very irregular in its arrival at Petersburg for some time past. This, no doubt, is true ; and in explination thereof we would state that the irregularity has originated from the fact that, owing to a vast amount of labor in the office, and a scarcity of help, we have been unable to have the paper issued in time for the Wednesday's mail. Here after we will try to be up in time for this, as well as all other mails. Onr Returning; Volunteers. Several of our volunteers have lately been discharged, and returned to their homes. They are generally looking ex tremely well. We sincerely hope that they may be as successful in the business pursuits of life as they have been instru mental in eonque'ring the Slave-holder's rebellion; and that they may long be spared to enjoy the rich blessings of civil and religious liberty, for which theyhave made such noble and praise-worthy sacri fices May the great and inestimable blessings of peace every strew their paith way. Withdrawal. 4®* By his card in to-day's paper, it | will be seen that Mr. Newton Maxwell j has withdrawn his name as a candidate | for County Treasurer. We call attontion to the fact, so-that there may be bo votes polled for him. Mr. Maxwell had maty warm friends. They are now at liberty to look elsewhere for a candidate to suit their choice, which they cannot fail to do among the names still remaining. They may. at some future day, have an oppor tunity to support Mr. Maxwell-. ImisroTeiiieiit. We notice a very decided and credita ble improvement in the internal depart ment ol the Drug Store of I'r.

In retiring from the contest, I desire to express my hearty thanks to the"many warm friends I met with in my partial canvass of the county, for their ready support and en couragement.

And just now is a befitting time ; since the bottom has fallen out of the Confederacy, for men to 'ake up themes for the amelioration of the coi> dition of mankind ;—and here is room to tcork ; and now for the wise hien to point out the way. I would not dictate a plan for tlv: suppression of druirkeuness. I am Hilling to adopt any thing that will bring about such a result; but my opin ion is that a State Central Society of tem perance, might be formed all through the State, agitate, discuss the subject, and submit a petition to the people for their names for a Maine liquor law, and send it to the Lcgitlature. Such an overwhelm ing amount of names that the honorable body would think it unwise to refuse to pass ruck a laic. Nothing short of a Jlaino law. will suffice. Moral suasion is nearly played out. Just as long as the poor inebriate can get a glass to swallow, just so long will he drink and make a brute of himself. Accused whiskey, what ruin haul thou wrought, What good prevented taml what evil brought? Oh ! Would that word* of kind intent could «wajr, The conntleM thotuaodn thou hMt led astray ; Win tbuut from the path* BO wildly trod, And bring them back to virtue and to Hod. It is nijr opinion that liquor might be safely eradicated from the land, not even left to tlio Doctor's shop. As long as we admit that it has remedial properties, (which by the way it has not) the sci ence of the Alcoholic Doctors is for liq uor nod against temperance. Let them talk tcmjierance as much as they have a mind. 1 have no quarrrel with the Med ical profession; indeed I respect them, but then, I think the whole science aafar as alcoholic stimilous is concerned, is founded on error. If alcohol is a sap porter of vitality, good as a medicine, let us have plenty of it; no difference what becomes of temperauco, but if it can be proven that alcohol only runs out the organic life,—in God's name, let us discard it, no difference what becomes of the medical profession. I have long been ol opinion that the cause of temperance will never have a Scientific Basis, until the people become educated on this point, and discard the idea that it contains any remedial prop ewfrjtry theniek: wftlle It Imparts flsadty disease to the well. I never could see why labelling two bottles oT the Bnrne cask and calling one me>i it inc and the other a life destroyer, could change the rationale of its effects. Liquor is tlie only thing that God ever made— no, (<od never wade it, for it can not be found in anythingliving or organ ic, whilst that thing maintains its normal condition. Alcohol is tho only thing that Diubotis ever fabricated, which phy sicians have ever supposed to have such contradictory relatiuns to that crowning work of the Divine Architect, the being created a little lower than the angels. Having said this much about liquor as a medicine, I would argue whether useful as a medicine or not.(the former I never can admit,) for my mind is as clear on this point, as the noonday sun. As a beverrgo it is a uasty, debasing vice, and demands the execration of every lover of his rqce. It is a practice that the very beasts disre spect. Man is the only animal in all God's universe, that will get drunk and uot be ashamed of it; arid he seems to delight in it. What farmer would tolerate a drunken beast, or even a moderate drinking ani mal on his place? O! it is bad enough to have tjrunkeu men, drunken women aud children, without having the beasts that perish, drink. It is said of apes and monkeys, hogs aud dogs, that, if through some indiscretion, they would become drunk after the manner of men, they never showed any disposition to repeat the experiment; but man, the higher an imal, delights in it.l remember hearing the story of a hog once, that becamo so in toxicated by eating some cherries that were steeped in whisky, that he could uot for a while maintain the steady gait and deportment of a'rcspectablo quadruped For a long time .he would not appear amongst his fellotf porkers, and he could never afterward be driven under a cherry tree. It would bo well if respectable young and old men would tkae a lesson from the four legged philosopher. ]). M. HARIIADGH. GENERAL GRANT'S ADDRESS TO_THE ARMIES I HIS PRAISE OF_THE SOLDIERS.
