of Dr. John C. Lord, in the October

unwittingly confuse both his own and

y ever undertakes to pronounce judg
which can have any legal effect upon
title of property; but oases may well
imagined in which no two sane and un

Departure ire the 85th Regiment.
TINION:TO*N PA Noy. 20, 1861.
Dear Banner. :—A s this has been quite
a notable , day in our town, some public re
ference to it may not be amiss. The event
of the day has been the departure from among
us of the 85th Regiment Pennsylvania re
serve volunteers. For a few weeks the re
giment had been in process of formation at
this point, and last week having been fully
organized, it was supplied with clothing,
&c. This morning they left for Harrisburg
and I believe from thence to the vicinity of
Washington City. 4,
The regiment is commanded by Colonel
Joshua B. Huell, Esq., well known here
as an able lawyer and a gentleman of much
urbanity and'geteral excellence of charac
ter. The Lieutenant-Colonel is Norton
McGiffin, Esq.,' of Washington, who held
the same position in the 12th Regiment of
three months' volunteers, and who had also
experience in the Mexican War. The re
maining
_regimental bfficer is Major Guiler,
of this place, who likewise served creditably
in the Mexican war. The chaplain is Rev.
John Pierce, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The names of the Captains are
as follows : 'Vankirk, Zollers, Horn, and
Purviance, from Washington County; Mor
ris, from Green; Treadwell, from Somerset;
ands Wilkinson, Ludington, Abrams, and
Weltner e from Fayette. The re g iment is,
to a large extent, made up of excellent ma
terial—,--the thrifty yeomanry of the Coun
ties just named. With very few excep
tions, the men conducted themselves with
much propriety while here, and in their de
parture, this morning, they were followed
by the best wishes and prayers of the com
munity in general.
It will interest the Christian public to
know that there is in this regiment a very
fair leaven or the religious element.
Among other Churches our own is well re
presented, there being at least two Ruling
Elders, and a score or more of members,
besides a still greater number of adherents.
The situation of the Christian, % however,
in such circumstances, is a great trial of
his faith, and there should be no lack of
prayer and effort for their spiritual good.
After all, the greatest danger to be appre
hended in this war,
is not the success of
the rebels, but the demoralization of our
hundreds of thousands of young men, who
are separated from all the kindly influences
of, home, and subjected to temptations more
than can be realized by any save those who
have experienced them. Unless there is
the most strenuous Christian effort to pre
vent it, incalculable evil must result.
It is gratifying to hear, however, that
Christian ministers and churches are now
generally awaking to the apprehension of
the truth. In the .ease of the regiment
which has just left here, considerable at
tention has been paid to their religions
wants. The men have all been supplied
with Testaments and other religions read
ing to some extent. More will yet • have
to - be done so as to supply them from time
to time , With something fresh. Rulksome
volumes, are out of the questions, as they
cannot be carried. The chief dependence
must be tracts and newspapers, frequently
distributed. There are enough earnest
Christians in the regiment to do the work
of distriliution, if enabled to do so by,the
contributions of, those at home. Are.there.
not warm-hearted'Christians in the varhins
churches from which these young men have
gone out, who would like to do something
for their spiritual good and that of their
companions ? I did not intend, however,
to make any appeal in their behalf, but
merely to call attention to the subject.
One suggestion, however, I will make
before closing. The religious newspaper
that has been read at home, is sought for
by the volidtect• with great avidity; nay,
as some have assured me,- though they ne
glected it at home, they long for it now.
My suggestion then is, that this regiment
be liberally supplied with' the Banner by
their friends and acquaintances at home.
The thing can be very.readily done.. Let
some earnest man in each congregation
just gather up what he can in a few hours
and send it to the Banner office, with a re
quest that it be used in sending the. Ban
ner to the 85th -Regiment. P. R. C., and
the object will be effected. A package is
to go from the Banner office every week,
and the more free-will offerings that are
sent in,
the larger the package will be.
" That," says Macaulay, " which chiefly
distinguished the army of Cromwell from
other armies, was the austere morality and
the fear of God which pervaded all ranks.
It is ,acknowledged by the most zealous
itoYalists, that in that singular - camp - nó
oath was heard, no drunkenness or gam
bling was seen, and that, during the long
dominion of the soldiery, the property of
the peaceable citizen and the honor of wo
man were held sacred.
" Fif4y thousand men accustomed, to the
profession of arms, were at once thrown on
the world`, and experience . seeined to war
rant the belief that this change would pro
duce much misery and crime—that the
discharged veterans world be seen - begging
in every street, orWOuld be driven by hun
ger to pillage. But no such result followed.
In a few months there remained not a trace
indicating that the most formidable army
in the world had just been absorbed bito ihe
of the community. The Royalists
themselves confessed that, in every depart
ment ':of honest industry, the disbanded
warrior prospered beyond other men; that
none was charged with any theft or rob
bery; that none, was heard to ask an alms;
and that; if a baker, a mason, or a wagoner
attracted notice by his diligence and sobri
ety, lie was; in all probability, one of Oli
ver's old soldiers."
How honorable this testimony to the
much calumniated Puritans. May history
be able to record but as honorable a testi
mony touching the wilt army that is - -Itew
rallied around our national standard for the
defence of the nation's life. H.

the 'overt' followers of the Redeemer seem,
in many instances, not to understand their
high vocation in relation to this evil. And.
whereas, it, is high time that the church
awake out of sleep ; therefore,
Resaved, That it is inconsistent with
true Chrfstien character, to indulge in' the
habitual,
,or even the occasional use of in
toxicating, liquors as a beverage.
Resolved,; That it is an outrageous wrong,
inflicted upon any law-abiding community,
that it.should be compelled to submit to the
annoyance, endure the degradation, support
the pauperism, and bear the expense, occa
sioned by the traffic in and use of aixlent
spirits, merely for the sake of filling : the,
coffers of the retailer.
Resolved 7 That it is the solemn duty . of
every true temperance man,, to hold' his
moral principles so far above his pelitical
preferences as to withhold his suffrage from
any candidate of intemperate habits, or
who seeks to secure votes by liquor' . Bribes.
Resolved, That to awaken a safe public
sentiment with regard to, the traffic in and
use of - ardent spirits, the faithful dis
semination of Gospel truths, in the spirit
of the Dijiine Master—the general agita
tion of the subject, especially amongst the
youth—with a kind and faithful exercise of
parental influence, are amongst the best
available 'means.

There are no indications of- a revival of field
operations, in this district.

has organized, and part of them in the field,

Fight at Fort Pickens.
From rebel forces we learn that a battle com
menced at Fort`Pickens, on Saturday, the 23d.
The Navy Yard had been set on fire three times,
by shot from the Fort, and Warrington had been
burned
Two of our ships, the 'Niagara and CotOracio,
had engaged FiiirlihNhe, and been obliged to
withdraw, considerably damaged. But few par
ticulars are iiVen. The battle was probably not
terminated when the dispatch' was sent. We
cannot have anything through channels of our
own, for many day:s yet.
A Valuable Book.
By - order of Congress, there has been issued
the Report of Major Alfred Mordecai, of the Ord
nance Department. Major Mordecai was a mem
ber of the. military Commission to EuroPe, in , the
years 1855 and 1856. The Report forms a
Quarto volume
.of 232 pages, and contains nu
merous well executed, drawings. An account of
the military organizations of Russia, Prussia,
Austria, Frineeand Great Britain, is given ; and
also of the various kinds of artillery, small arms,
projeCtiles, &c., &c., in use. The work will be
examined by tens of thousands, in this our day
of a,need of knowledge on military affairs.
Washingtoxi.
There are still many speculations about .a
movement of the army. The Grand Review has
been interpreted as indicative of this. It is
also stated that the dissentions between Presi
dent Davis and Beauregard have culminated in
the success of the latter, whoie purpose is to
take Washington• and proceed to Baltimore to
take up Winter quarters, and hence warm work
may soon be expected.
f:
We still hold to our opinion that there will be
no great battle at either Washington or Manassas.
Neither army will A!!st4.l , the lines of the other.
There may be a battle brought on thus: General
111'Clellan may advance his left, with a view - to
cut off Beauregard's communications with Rich
mond and the South., This would force the lat
ter to either'abandon Manassas, or fight; and to
fight he would be obliged to come out from his
fortifications. This necessity M'Clellan could
enforce at any:time; ,but we believe his policy
is, not to drive the rebels away, but to keep them
in - Virginia, while he sends expeditions to assail
the. South. When he does make a mbve, it is
likely to be either,in the way just indicated, or
by. the Rappahannock and P.otomao, upon Acquia
Creek and Fredericksburg. .-

Message of Jeff. Davis.
The Message of Jeff. Davis to the Rebel Con

ponds with former emanations from the same
source; only that it is somewhat less boastful.
It however speaks of their great military power,
of their finance interest as promising good re
sults, of their means of transportation by rail
roads, &c.
The courage, and"hatred' of the South toward
the North, he tries to keep up in this wise ;
Our people now look with contemptuous aston
ishment on those with whom they bad been so re

with such a people. We may, be content to live
at peace, but the separation is final;.and for the
independence we have asserted We will accept no
alternative.. •
Davis characterizes the, nature of the hostili-
ties on the part of the United States as barbarous
wherever it is understood. If they convert their
soldiers into incendiaries and robbers, and
,in
vade us in a . species of war which claims non
combatants, women and children, as its victims,
they must.be expected to be treated as outlaws;
and enemies of mankind. There are certain
rights of humanity which are entitled to respect,'
even in wars. He who refuses to regard them
forfeits his claims, if• captikred, to be considered
as a prisoner of war, but must expect to be dealt
with as all defenders against all,law, both human
and divine. But not content with violating our
rights under the law of nations at home they.have
extended those injuries to us within other juris
dictions.
Such falsehoods have an effect for a time; and
with many people they have a lasting effect. But
ofttimes they recoil upon the cause they are put
forth to sustain. Some of the people will find out
what is truth, and it will spread. We have no
fears of the result, though we greatly mourn the
calamities of the war.
North Carolina.
The people of this State entered into secession
measures with great reluctance, and would prob
ably return/ that is a majority of them, to their
allegiance with much alacrity, if only they en
joyed the presence of the United States forces,
and could have a full assurance of permanent
protection. On the taking of Hatteras, many, of
the coast people flocked to the National standard
and - took the oath of allegiance. On the 18th in
stant there was at Hatteras a Convention' of dele
gates and proxies representing forty-five coun
ties of the State. These formed a Provisional
State Government, declared the State offices to
have been vacated by the secession and treason
of the occupants; appointed a Governor, (Marble
Naafi Taylor); affirmed the Constitution and laws
of the State; 'annulled the ordinance of seces
sion;, authorized the election of members of Con
gress, and adjourned to meet again at the call of
their President.
What may come
_of all this it is_oot easy t o tell.
It is a following of the example of Western Vir
ginia; and the infhience and poli o may spread,
till all the State territory and a majority . of the
people shall be absorbed. It is thus,
.or some
what in this way, that secession is to be under
mined, and the States to be restored, in due con
nexion with their fellow-States, under the Union.
The Raleigh Standard, speaking of the 'event
above noted, says:
Unless this movement is stopped at once by,tlie
strong arm of the Confederate States, more than
one-half the counties in this State will be attached to
the Black Republican Government before the Union
Congress meets.
Farther on in the article it says, , if we were
to:have a new election to=day for the Legislature
and State officers, no one knows, amid the pres
ent discord, what state of things might turn up."
A Good Arrangement.
The people take a deep interest in all the Ed.!
fairs of Government, and they have a right to
full knowledge, except where the publication
would be derogatory to the generalinterest.
The press is the vehicle of information, and
hence, with the exception noted, has a right of
access, in some proper way, to all public docu
ments. In _France public documents are fur
. niched to the Monitar, and to it alone: From it
others copy. In England, all documents which
the Government desires to make public; are sent
simultaneously -to all the London 'daily papers.
, In.thie- country, hitherto; there has been no
'system. "Enterprising reporters" obtained
copies, the earliest, as best they could. Hence
things have occurred, sometimes, which were
neither i'eputable nor consistent with the public
interest.
, Au ARRANGEMENT is now made, as we see it
'stated, at the suggestion of the Secretary of
War, and with the hearty concurrence of every
branoh of the Government, that all official docu
ments of whatever kind, emanating from the ,De
partments, shall be delivered over to the Agent of
the Associated Press, at Washington—and to him
alone—for simultaneous transmission :to such
papers as may desire to receive them by tele
graph:
This will save trouble , and expense to the lead
ing journals, and relieve the Secretaries frem
great annoyance. The public, else, will beconie
possessed, more promptly and reliably of the in
formation to which all may heentitled.

GREAT BRITAIN
The speech of Mr. Adams, at the Lord Mayor's
banquet has attracted considerable attention.
lie was silentas to the war, but pacific toward Eng
land. The London News says it was frank, manly,
sensible, and seasonable, and must be cordially
welcomed by England at large, especially as 'a
small but active faction is, doing its utmost to
misrepresent American diplomacy and create bad
feelings.
The London Morning Post says that the speech
was marked by the most friendly statements
respecting the good feelings of the American
Government and people toward England, and
hopes that'no occurrence will happen to belie
these statements.
The London Times is characteristically sar
castic, but at the same time complimentary to
Mr. Adams.
Lord Palmerston said: Although circumstances
beyond-our control may threaten for a time to
interfere with the full supplies of that article so
necessary for the productive industry of this
country, yet the' temporary evil will be produc
tive of permanent good, (cheers) and we shall
find in various quarters of the globe, sure cer
tain, and ample supplies , which will render us
no-longer dependent upon one source of produc
tion for that which is so necessary for the in
dustry of this ,country. Gentleman, when we
look without, we see, no doubt, in many parts of
Europe, circumstances which, if not dealt with
by prudence and discretion, may lead to local
disturbancer. which I trust will not, at least, ex
tend themselves to bring us within their range.
(Cheers.) On the other side of the Atlantic we
witness, with the deepest affliction, (cheers) with
an affliction which no words can express, (cheers)
differences of the most lamentable kind, among
those whom. we call our cousins and our rela
tions. (Cheers.) It is not for us to pass judg
ment upon their disputes. It is enough for us to
offer a fervent, prayer that such differences may
not be of. long 'continuance, and that they may
be speedily succeeded by the restoration of har
mony and peace. (Cheers.)
The Times seeks to calm the dismay at the
short supply of cotton, and says there is no
ground for National alarm.

An important Cabinet Council was held at
Paris on the 12th. . It was almost certain that

a temple, the circuit of which is. stated. to be
four kilometers, (two and a half. miles,) has been
discovered, and "another at Edfou, containing
twenty saloons. The walls of these latter edi

Mr. GILBERT lit'NEOW6t, in the 76th year of his age.
He was a native of Wincheeter, Va., and there united with
the Church, in the 19th year of his age, under the ministry
the Rev. Dr. 11111. Early in life he removed to Pittsburgh,
Pa., and was there engaged in merchandising many years.
Ttience; after a heavy Ices by lire, he removed to Cincinnati,
and thence to this place, in the year 1 2 40, casting in his lot
with the pioneers of the West. Right nobly did ha s u stai n
his part in the sacrifices and tolls incident to a new settle
ment. bath in secular and in Christian duties. In later years,
being called to endure much adversity, In a remarkable man
ner, he still realized "Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasant
nen, and Eater paths are peace." No murmur eseaped his
lips, but 'simply. "It is the Lord, let him do as seemeth unto
him good." .So long as able, he was always in his seatin the
sanctuary, and in the prayer meeting. On him the pastor
and other faithful Christian friends could ever safely, lean.
After but a few days of severe illness, he fell asleep in
Jesus, in the good hope of a blissful immortality. "Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the. Lord from henceforth:
yea, saith the. Spirlt, that they may rest from their labors;
and their works do follow them." 3. D. M.
