For the Christian the Cross has its at tractions. No place -is like it. None can be compared•with it. At it he 'sits. He looks upon wondrous scenes. A Saviour who had never wronged Godr nor 'I, man, hangs before- him ' suffering, -nailed, l= bleeding, agonizing. He is numbered mong transgressors. Two thieves are cru ified with him, the one on his right hand, .and the other on his left. A crown of ; thorns is upon his brow. Many pass by and mock him. The load of his people's .sins pressed hard upon him, yet he meekly and nobly bears it. No complaint escapes his lips. A Father's will, and a perishing 'humanity require the act, and he repines tot, nor hesitates. Notwithstanding his, qmparalleled sufferings, and in the midst of them, he has regard to the good of others. He protides for the temporal sup port of his mother according to the flesh. He hears the cry of a penitent by his side, pardoning him, and admitting him into Paradise. Neither does he bear ill-will nor revenge to his 'murderers, but prays, ." Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." The greatest 'death ever known now occurs. The Son of God, his only and well-beloved 'son, 'dies 1 Imme diately, darkness covers the earth. .'The vail of the temple is rent 'in twain. The' earth quakes. Graves open. Many dead arise. Observers acknowledge his divinity. Blood streams from his pierced. aide. His.' body is lifeless, and kind friends lay, it in the tomb. Such a look at' the Cross evokes from the Christian devout and precious meditations. He considers all that Ohrist there endured as done in his behalf. He ponders on the mercy and love there displayed. 'He son= templates the salvation there revealed for him and all who will accept it—a salve tion in which divine• justice is satiified, ' the law magnified and made honorable. meditates upon , God's goodness in giv up his Son to such a death, and in +ling a Saviour possessing such wil less, such ability, and such fulness. thinks of the triumph achieved—Satan sated, death despoiled, , hell deprived of 'ions of its expected. occupants, and attained for the ransomed through siuel's blood. . the cross, the Christian not only sees meditates, but feels. He is not cold emotionless. He weeps over his Sa-' ''s sorrows. is penitent. His sins nailed Jesus to accursed tree. They appear before in their real light. Hence he becomes '-sle. He mourns over his transgress and what they occasioned. He ies them. He forsakes them. pon, however, a feelinc , of joy pervades soul. Jesus atoned for him.. He re ss Christ as his propitiatory sacrifice. Redeemer looks upon him in mercy, bids him rejoice. The relief is oppor 1, and just what he needs; and he is y.

MaINNEY• :—Dear Sir—l know of~ but' one letter from regiment that has been `published in your paper. Another may be interesting to the many readers of •the Banner who have relatives in the regiment. We landed at 'Fortreas ''Menroe `the first of April, and marched thenceto Capp Scottrnear `Thlitrwe'Veried as pickets and road builders, through rain and mud' until the beentiTur Sabbath morn ing of the 4th of May, -when ' just as we havewere thinking-that we would a quiet day of rest in the service of God, the order came for us, to march immediately. We were soon in sight of the rebel fortifica tions, but found no enemy there. We pur sued the fast-retreating foe in quick time, and overtook, him on Monday, near 'Wil liamsburg. There was our first battle. Night closed the dieedful scene, and the enemy retreated. We thence followed closely till ;within,-hearing. distance of:the bells at R.chinond. Qn the Plst of May, at one o'clock,, the dreadfril battle of Fair oaks commenced. Many of our brave 40M rades fell. We were outnumbered arid out flanked. So,- leaving we fell' back un der a heavy fire. Ott the 4th - of June we returned to White ()air swamps, through heavy rain and deepinud. Having now no t4helter nor blankets to 'keep'us' dry and comfortable, our ranks were again thinned by sickness anddeath. 'But ere we thought of, not seeing= Richmond soon, we were on our backward march to Harrison's Land ing, leaving some of our sick to the'merey of the enemy. 'Thence we had heavy marches to Fortress Monroe, and the. two hardest of all were , on the holy Sabbath. During Mir 'staY of near six months on the Peninsula, We were engaged in all the duties of : a soldier, viz.: guarding and pick eting, chopping and digging, fortifyingatal fighting. Finally,- we gladly left the almost deserted and swampy Peninsula, for. Suf folk. We arrived here on the night of the 16th of September, and soon 'coltnienced the usual duties of the soldier. Our regi ment has built three-fourths of a mile of breastworks around the ',town; and also nice and comfortable Winter quarters, .and are now assisting to'finish the forts, whioh will soon be"ccanifleted. I must noW''Say something of our 'spir itual interests. We had, when we left home, nine hundred and thirty nien: About two , hundred of that number were professors of religion of the different branches of 'the Chureh of .Christ. But as is common, too many left their religion at home, and are living without it in the army. Nevertheless 'a 'good nUmberinited together and resolved, by•the help of jGod, to stand up' for Christ in the faCe of his avowed enemies, and keep up a prayer meeting under all diseotiragements. And almost every evening that circumstances would perniit, the'praying band has inet to praise God for his mercy, and ask his pro tection in the future. Our chaplain.was often absent...with -the sick and wounded; and he left us after the battle of Fair Oaks, on a glair furlough home, at the very time be }war most needed, our regiment being in a more deplorable condi tion than at any time since we had entered the service. He returned in about two months, remained with us one month, 'and then resigned. We 'have not had one since, though occasionally we have the ser vice of other chaplains. , Since the battle of 'Fair Oakri;the interest in our meeting has been, good, and some times very good. I believe there has been several conversions. Some are returning from their wanderings; others are under conviction. I have Fwitnessed 'some of the most precious meetings"that I ever attended. And since we have been' here, we have had the privilege of going to • chureh in town; and hive 'heard eateral aellent discourdes, by the pesters, and' by chaplains who were invited to preach. The assetablies are most solemn. Good atten tion is given. by the soldiers. When the , weather became. too cold. to meet out doors," we were, for a time, at a lose for COMfOrtable place of meeting.

That which comes from the :Leeds Mercury, a real , friend, of the 'United. states, I submit to your readers' candid consideration " The destruction of property and espe- • eially of ' human food by this sea-marauder justifies in' a :Moral, point - of view the strong langiagia applied • at New-York to the fate of the Brilliant, but no facts yet stated jus tify the impression there. that either the English Government has AetiVed from the policy indicted Her Majesty's Proc• lunation' of 'May -13th; 1861, or (as We have said) that the English; people would sane; tion any such departure'. The idea is in deed disproved by what took place at the very time the , Alabama first steamed out of the Mersey. Just then the Oretd a' vessel with similar .objects, and which had left the same river shortly before, nominally for the Mediterranean bit really for ,Nassau in the %tunas, was by order of the English Court of AdMiralty and before she mould receive her armament, seized for alleged infringe ment of the Foreign Enlistment Act.

We trust such vigilance will be exercised, but our friends in the Northern 'States must reinemlier this can only be done in alleordatice u with the rights Of a Tree people. Should, therefore, a steam ship here and • there, ostensibly built for peaceful purposes, and presenting no evi dence, in our •waters of any other destina tion, ultimately take rank in the final', though troublesome navy ,of the Confeder ate States, they must neither, be surprised tier angry with England They must take national will for the national deed,: not ituitzt firkettini ,that the 'NiVtfiern. mist") his t derived at 4 i t 4 ii:orfi 44144 help from this coin* the -mil- nitions of war than :; its rival has from the escape u disguise oft, a . few ships out of our docks into , the Confederate navy..

Then comes a sneer at the ordinary Bishop in contrast' ivithione whose' " lacon is not a spell affainst candbr, simpliCity and henesty! And the article winds up with a, fresh flourish of, trumpets : " No icono cliet;but a Reformer—no unbeliever, but a eh:UM/Ann of the Truththat Cannot fear, because she cannot -fail—the Bishop of Natal takes his stand on the side of unfet tered conscience.
