This rule may call christians to the battlefield, into f'eadly conflict. ' Qliristians are ftnctly forbidden an -appeal to the sword in order to propogate the Gospel and gather converts to the chnrch. - ; But God has sever abrogated the right of civil government to defend itself by the sword. ;;' , - : The Chief Magistrate heareth not the sword in vain i, ' ' lt !., ;;Tho Law! is made for. the lawless and di8ob6die(';:v;:;;i,-;r;.V::-..".':;c: j 'iV'.Tliereforo.'' obedience ', even unto ibl.od in defenco ol civil government, ."at the command of the Chief Magistrate is Heaven's Law for thechristian, Render rnnto Ccosar the things 'that are ntcsar'fi," evidently requires of ns to pay tribute or tax; un l to ive 6r Physical energies in defenc of civil government.

So now wo are either for or against tho government of our country in thto struggle. , Professed Neutrality is covert treason. John O. Breckinridge, late Vico President of the 1 Dited Statos, and candidate for President, is a notori ous but pitiable example of iiBing the plea of neutrality to cover ignominious treason. " ' From the Senato Chamber of the United States he walks' in the covered way of neutral'ty and emerges a general in tho Rebel Hosts.

Some members of Congress, ambitious, politicians, some party editors members of political parties who desire to e!ect cer-tain men regardless of principle. ' And at : present those who object and clamor about preaching politics, aro o'ther in open tympalhy with armod rebellion, or elae claim to be neufurah in this the mightiest struggle ver inaugurated by legitimate govi" nment against trcaRon in arms. S'iall the minister be a poltroon and obey rren? Shall he fear the tlime of some filthy sheet, the organ of treason, and. flinch I'roin duty as enjoined in this t vr. This text and Romans 13:1-7 defines clearly the duty of tho minister of Christ in the present crisis. We will support the government that protects us 6hi,nld be the motto of every christian. This at present leads to war. Dread alternative, yet war is not the worst calamitv. War develops the patriotism of the nation. The Christian Commission is . in one sense tho offspring of this war. Thre ro many redeeming con-sideratio 8, Anarchy is a far worse calamity. A government for this vast continent with Af iean slavery as its chief corner-store would be infinitely a more dread calnmity.

Editor Jirpullican: We left Aluicr oa the 30th of J uly on an expedition apainst Fort Morgan, Fort Gainrt Fort Powell and Mobile, wo landed off Mississippi Cound ou Dauphcn Inland ou the 3d of Auput,. from g small .donating vesfol, the Trm an! ipa, then advanciop: in a lino of buttle on Fort Gaines, which is built of brick, and a very formidable, one, in a lined with 21 heavy guns, Icsido a number of smaller ones. Our Uuuliouis, Monitors and Ruuisrun the bloctiide un der terrific firing of the guns ol Fort Morgan, only one Monitor was struck, the Teeumuh, which went down, with all on board except tot). On Monday, the 8th of August,1 Fort Gaines surrended. after a short, bombarding from our Monitors. On Friday previous, our Monitors had a very spirited eoii;onjttnt with tho Rebel Ram, Tennessee, it 1 -a a spleudid bight to ace how the old liou hearted Farragut pitched into her. She was captured with all her crew, Admiral Buchanan with the loss of a : leg This Tennepeee was the boast of the Conthiev-eracy, and that she was going to sink tho whole Yankee fleet. Tho fort was manned with TOO men, who fell into our hands, of whom a great many were buysi they were a sorry looking set, ragged and dirty, hut they had enough of provisions to last about three months, bacon, flour, meal, &c, which we are now disposing of with a hearty good w ill, Some of them seemed glad they wero prisoners. They are now 011 their winding way to New Orleans. ' Fort Gaines was an old Fort of Uncle Samuel's, appropriated t" Iiim internal purposes of carrying out hi damnable work. The bombardine of Gaines was a little like the Vicksburg siege on a small scale, ihe old 'Juth advanced within a mile of the Fort and commenced throwing up breast-works that night, occasionally receiving a shot, which only made them laugh behind their sand hanks. On the next day they were watching the fray with intense in- tero t, every now and then crying ; out 'go in Farragut," give 'era h II, and we'll back you! ,But 011 Sunday Fort. Powell surrendered, I havo not learned the number of Robs we got, and on the following dsy Fort Gaines hauled down that detested Rug of traitors before the oyosof tho Infantry, and the men murching out, stacking arms, in front of our Regiment, looking like they hud been guilty of sheep stealing. On Monday we crossed Mobile B.vy, and aw now sieging Fort Morgan, we have it completely surrounded. Some four or five men who have deserted the fort and came into our lines, say that we have them in a tight pluce, and they number about eight hundred, which of course are ours. 0a crossing ever they burned two of their Monitors and one Transport, also two large batseries. Our pickets advanced to within 400 yards of the fort uud now can p ok of their cannoneers wherever they showthera--clviM. We have been lying here gome 'vo d-iys. in the rain, but all the Dliih bovs teem in good spirits, and will give a good ncoount "if themselves,' if gn occasion shsuld occur. There is very iit;li sickness among the regiment, i'liey are widing to do their part iu ukiu back these forts, which have too luug remained in tha hands of thieves uud desperadoes, I think as too:i m Mis litiid jobigdono, we 'will try and oring Mobile up a standing. Our whole loss nine-running the blockade is 240 men killed and wounded, all belonging to the Navy, only ouo nnu belonging to the Infantry, a corporul out of the Slth Iowa, he was shot through the head while on skirmish. t Gen. Cauby and Commodore Farragut are doing things up brown and m iking up for the mismanagement of Bank-i, alias, Corporal Banks, or Commissary Bankr, we want no such milk and water policy in the department of the Gulf: but war, and war to the knife, until these traitors are made ftN;-ue for peace-. So all hail to Canby, Farragut, and Granger, otir General for these -glorious victories, may they make Mobile so hot for the traitors that h 11 would btf'prefcrablo (if being in it. 1' We are all waiting "for the Monitors to open upon Fort Morgan, whioh will be 00 child's play either, and if they do ir t ' surrender there will be UHiiehwIy huff, and tint body will be Rehs'" ' The trhnle t number of sinall arms wero about-1400 rifles and tnnskete, with a largo lnt of ammunition.'1 Bully for F.rtGiir . : , . We gather from one of qur jrun-bonU mfln4he following details. ' '"" At au early hour on friday, our fleet li'sned two and two, sailed into the' Pass cloe onc tho, gun of Fort Morgan, pnurfnjr broadsido ' after broailalile of grapp ana canoiKier, iniis .qr y pg in iinn(.Y)f'ihe 'iforjt from thejr gunshot f f f tip 0tt veswjlj f rpoit J'i)ip ijrc(j gunn Forts Gaines and Powell, which were, of qoursc, tOi' far disf ct to do us any harm.' ' 'At tho sme time our land forces under Gen. Granger, with his infantry and batteries enfiladed Fort Gniucs, nnd caused ' tho evacuation and blowing up of Fort. Powell. In passing the fJrtS.' tho Oneula Monitor received I shot which temporarily disabled hef machinery, but she was safely towed through tha fire'l y her consort. Our Monitor,' Teoumseh,' was one of the 'foremost'. .4 torpedo exploding beneath her bottom, she sunk almost instantaneously, carrying down all her officers, only ten of her crew es coping, she was commanded by Captain Lewis Craven, our loss on this vessel W;ir about one hundred.' Tho gun-boats huv- ing passed the forts, and being out of their reach, were ursued by the formidable ram. Tennessee, and three ;ron clad gun boats, Sclnia, Gaines, and Morgnn. Our vessels immediately n! tucked the ram. and buttered him so efTe-tunlly !hnf he surrender in a few iuinu'e. by hung ing out the white flag. Admiral Buchanan loc t a leg, and he, with nil his crew, are prisoners in our hands, we captured the Sclma, three, only were killed on the Tennessee. Tho two remaining iron-boats fled under the guns 'of Fort Morgau, for protectiou, which they now have burned, to keep from fallin-r into our hands. But the capture of thes forts docs not give us command of Mo bile, they are extensively fortified at Dog River, and elsewhere, but Farragut and Canby are conSdeut nf reducing all fortifications iu tho way to the city. So look out for stirring times, Ibe eagles aro ou tho war path. Tho ITartford Farragut's flagship was heavily engaged losing one officer, together with 20 of her crew, and 20 wounded. All theves. sols were wooden, except three. We are now sieging Fori Morgan, and have then, so ' completely holed up that the Fort must fall into our hands, with all it contains, it is only a question of time. In my nest I will give you 'i full nccouut of the capture and fall ol' Foi Morgan by the way, our gun-boats aro giving it 'Hail Columbia' and never missing a note, an 1 putting in tin v.iriti tions and double demi-semiquavori It is it. plain case that tho evjnts of the approaching autumn will have a most important, if not decisive imflunce on the destiny ot our country. To do this will require 11 great, uninted, nnd resolute effort. An I to secure such a happy result, there are some plain and obvious duties on the part of all which ought not to be forgotten. It may be well to recall them to our thoughts, and to the minds of those Democrats who first started out so fair at the begiuuing of the war, and now have fallen from the high and patriotic stand they then took. 1. We ought to put away all fearful and desponding thoughts. Our cause is far from desperate, and the fears which many indulge ate unmanly and unworthy of a freeman. ' No oountry with a mil'inn bravo soldiers can be overoomo.' Let every man,' then,1 speak cheerfully and hopefully to his neighbor. Let the heart countenance, and voice, brigoten up in our glorious cause. - 2. Let every man think and feel that he has but one thing o do to save, not himself, not his property, but his oountry.-F r that let him think, and labor,' and ray, cotisctuting to it, all his cucrgics mul resources 1 ' ', ' ' 3 It is plain that every ono, whether of nuMS-iity, or not, ou,rht to; praotice ih-' most ligid economy to every personal ex,iendituie, so as to give to h's coun try all the surplus.' Especially should this economy be exercised in iho ' matter of food aud clothing. ' "' "" '"' 4. It is all important thai those engaged in cultivating the sod should endeavor to produce the lurge-it amount possible of every kind of provisions. Let our farmers study how to make the and teem w:th broad and tnout. Let them put forth tho utmost suergie of aud industry in their power, to this end, let them do it for the patriotic and noble purposs to sustain the soldier, and the poor and not for selfish gain or' avarice. 5 Every one should do what he could to send to the army, evory , mm who ought to be there. '. It is. a' cruel kindness t ourselves anu our! friends; to screen and encourago tho -..Skulker tnd the destrier, in this extremity. ., Where" er oy such a person or (Mug ,ia known, let him be rent with all speed to tha army, j Every man, who cau so, is needed to go. and drive the traitors into tho last ditch, or to their graves, then peace would. soon smile again, op our once happy country, and rejoicings at, thousands of firesides. ,, .1, , , , . , ,,-. . ..To our country, we owe a filial devo- tion.( She)is,our mother, and, wllen ih ia struggling wfth assassins and thieves, shame ou the man who holds back any the.rrii'ne movers of the Sanitary Com-isrjicp wlivchjie( iscompetet) to render mis-ion went t.)

Mr. Jacobs then rno to movo that a Secretary io the meeting be appointed, he proposed Mi-Ayres. Mr. Helper, U S. Consul, seconded the motion. " Mr. Jacobs then proposed that some eviieooe he read to prove to all presen' the great usefulness of the United States Sanitary Commission. Mr. Gardner B. Perry, one of the gentlemen! who signed the requisition con vening the present meeting, came forward std said: ' Goatleracn, I have had, during my recent visit to the States, full op. portunity to observe the very great benefits of the Sanitarv Commission. On the 10th of Juno, 1363, the first Commission Was named. 1 myself have inspected the hospital I have seen bow the money which the Commissiou eolleoted has been oxpended and I most unhesitatingly : as auro you . that through . the aVsistanoe whioh has been rendered by the: agetftt of the Commission much human sorrow has been alleviated.

The aim of the Sanitary Commission, gentlemen, is to help, by cautious sag-gestions, in the laborious and extraordinary exigencies of military affairs, where the health of the soldier is a matter of such moment.' Mr. Charles Zimmerman then rase to explain still further the great good which the Sanitary Commission was effecting. He road two letters, written by distinguished generals iu the United States urmy, testifying to the great advantages of the coin mission, The Rev. Mr. Goodfellow said that he felt bound to confirm all that had been said, respecting the great cood which the Sanitary Commission is effecting. Ona of the principal reasons why they are able to supply everything so cheaply is. because all who act for tho commission ot grutu t msly. A young mua who had left this county, for the purpose of finishing his education in the States, had wri:-tun to him, but unfortunately he had left the letter behind him; he, however, would state from memory its contents. This young man had been employed by the Sanitory Commission; ho , had travelled through nearly all the Northern States, and everywhere ho had rcceivod free tickets from tho railway misters. II is details, respecting tha working of the commission, would form a most interesting chapter; all through the States belonging to tha North their agents were at work,, .,v.-v '.;,.;;: Mr. Charlos Zimmerman then came forward and said Gentlemen, as you have all heard so much about tha utility of the United States Sanitary Commis sion, I will submit, with your permission, the following resolutions, which myself and friends have drawn up: Whereas, wo recognize in the United Stitos Sanitary Commission an institution eminently Christian and humane, organized fur tho prevention and relief of suffering, to which object we have constant evidences that it is devoting its efforts most faithfully and energetically, therefore, , lit.
