We copy the followihjr paragraph from a recent work on the earliest chufches ofNew York, by Zabrich P. Disaow.y. Verily, tbe oldeu times ia Gotham, ore uot like the Pres-eDt . The literature of New-Ameterdam was en tirely rliffurent from that of our day. In tho place of novels, romances, magazines, and liyht reiulioK, wbicb now gs oftnu 611 the center-tables, there was to be found little else tban Bibles, Testaments, with the Psalm-Books; still every family possessed these household volumes. Tbe matron's church books Vrvere generally costly bound, with kilver clasps tad edgings, and sometimes, of gold; and these, suspended to the girdle by silver or gold chains, distinguished the style of tbe families uuirg them on tue Siilibutu days. Sunday in New-Amsterdam, wag better observed than by New- Yorkers uow. All arrayed in tbeir best, attended the public services of religion; and the people, almost exclusively Culrinists, "wunt to" the Reformed Dutch Church. The "Koech," or bell-ringer and sexton nnited. was an important officer on the sacred day, gammoning the congregation by the ringing of the church going bell. lie also formed a procession of himself and bis assistants, to carry the cushions of the burgom asters and ftcbepens irom tne uiiy-nau to me pt ws appropriated to these officials. At tbe game lime, tbe "Sour went nis ronnas, 10 see that quiet was kept in tbe streets during diviue worship, and aluo to stop the garnet of the negro slaves and Indians, to whom the day was allowed lor recreation, except during the church hours. The Dutch Church was then located within the fort at - the Buttery, ami the nresent - Bowline Ureen, an open field, exhibited many country wagops arranged in proper order, while their horses were permitted to graze on the bill sides which led dwn to the Hudson River. , THE IABLY DUTCH PULPIT IN NEW-YORK, p Outward appearances have changed some between our present costly and magnificent temples of the Lord and the numoie erwiy Dutch churches; but the same Bible and the game pure t uito remain uncnaogeu, auu so will remain to the ena 01 time; It must be remembered that we are speak-ir.gof the oldest denominaiion in America, and organized as early is the year 1620. For a long time the Reformed Dutch Church retained its distinctive customs, and. even Ian gnage, and of the former some were peculiar. Unlike the plaiuly-attired Puritan, the Dutch dominies always appeared in their high circular pulpits with black silk gowus and large flowiug sleeves. This sacred robe seemed indispensable; . sod it is related that, at the installation of an early minister, who was not prepared with such a garment, the presiding clergyman refused to officiate. Fortunately lor the canumate, smu uiiuiiwr nuiipiicu his need, or the ceremonies would hare been postponed. All th? pulpits bad heavy sounding-boards, and the Psalos cf the day set in movable fig-urea eilher noon the sides of the sacred dejk or the church. The clerk occupied a little pew Of box by himself, in frout or the pulpit, prelacing tbe morning services by reading the tSeriotures, and, during the afternoon, the Apostle.' Creed. He receivod from the sex. ton .11 the notices to be read, aud then plac ing them at the end of a long pole, they were thus passed up tojtbe dominie for publication. TliPr vera no church clucks then,-and tbe bonr-glasi supplied their, place, wbioh was placeo invariably at the right-hand o. tbe preacher. It was the clerk's duty, too, when the last grains of the sand had run out, to remind him that the time to end the sermon bad come, by three raps of his cane. An amnsing story is related of a dominie, who, seeiug his clerk aaieen.witli the people drowsy, on a warm tpmtner'gdiiy, quietly turned tbe emptied glass rip again. Then, after its sandt bad disappear d a tecor.d time, he remarked to bis bearers that, as they had been to patiently sitting through two glasses, he would now go on with tbe third. 1 have seen the "old pulpit" of the earliest Dnteh chnroh in Albany. It was im. ported from U oil and, it a great cmiosity, and still there carefully preserved; and among its fixtures are those of I act) a primitive time piece, Just before -ascending tbe pulpit, the Dutch dominie rained bis hat before bis face, and sitentlr offeiad short prayer fbra bless ing en his coming labors, IVu, when be had pronouDoed the last word of bis text, and before the sermon began, he exclamed;' "Thug furl" This custom is said still to be preserved in seme country churches. Tbe discourse finished, the deacons rose in their seats, went to the altar, listened to a brief address from tbe preacher, when they atteuded to tbe public collection. Each carried a long pole with black velvet bag it the end, to which was at tached a little bell. Uue ol these bells, iron the "olden time," and used in tbe early Qurden Street Church, has been carefully preserved In our city. Once little iron-bound boxes were placed near tbe doors of thechuiceet for aims of the people, and such are still used inTrinity- The New War In South America. The civil war which for two yeurs has beeu desolatiug the little republic of Uruguay has, 'during the last months of the year 1804, assumed much larger dimensions. The rebel chief, Uen. Floret, hat succeeded in enlisting tbesympatby of the Government of Bruzil, which early in 1804 boirun to conceutrate troops on the frontier of Uruguay. On August 4, Bruzil presented to tbe Government of Uruguay an ultimatum, claiming redress of grievances, which no one outside of Bruzil has ever been sb!e to understand, and 'demanding a reply within six days. On October 11, the com mender of tbe Brazilian fleet, in a circulardis-patcb addressed to diplomatic ageota residing in Montevideo, announced bis intention to starch all the vessels of foreign powers to prevent tbe landing of contraband of war. This measure called forth a joint protest from tbe ministers of England, France, Italy, Spaii. and Portugal, as Brazil bad not yet formally declared war against Uruguay, and, in particular bad not notified tbe foreign powers of the blockade of tbe ports of Uruguay. The couduct of Brazil, which is utterly irre-coucrruble with tho commonest principles Sf international law, produced in the adjacent states the universal belief that it was her intention to annex Uruguay. In such a scheme the State of Paraguay and the upper provinces of the Irgentiue Republic ore deeply concerned, as tbe possession of the moulh otthe Uruguay River would make their trade ti a large exteut depeudeot. upon the Brazilian goverunieut. The President of Paraguay, consequently, on August ;iO,isiued an earnest protect against the threats uttered by Brazil against Uruguay, aud e'early indicated his determination to opposed tbe annexation of Uruguay by force of arms. The last mail from Europe brings news that the President of Paraguay, in consideration that Brazil persisted in her policy and has matched troops into the territory of Uruguay has declared war agaiust Brazil. The excitement iu tbe provinces Corrientes and Entre Rios, of the Argeutine Republic, is so great that it is expected that they will support Paraguay, eveu if tbe Central Government of the Confederation should remain on intimate terms with Brazil. Paraguay has, ever since the establishment of her independence, so isolated herself from the other States of 8outh America that but little is known abont her abroad. Tbe State is, however, generally supposed to be in a prosperous condition, and is amply able to tax tbe entire strength of Brazil. Hitherto Paraguay has had no representation at the South American Congress,. which is now in sesaiou at Lima; but the progress of warcan hardly fail to establish closer connection between her and her sister republics of Scuth A merica. Tribuni. Amount of fork Irom a Bushel of torn. . Our readers mnv have observed tbe pub lished statement of the experiments of J. B. Lawes, who obtained 100 pouuds of pork from 7 bushels of corn, or one pound or pork from 41 Dounds of- corn. Tbe. grain was ground and moistened with water before feed- icg. lb is is regaruea s successful manage ment. At tbe present time, when pork tells for 15 cents per pound, tbe corn thus converted to meat will bring a little over $2 per bushel, or at the former rate of 5 cents per pound, the corn would be worm 71 cents per ousoei for fattening pork. This estimate is based upon the supposition that lue mauure pays for the grinding and feeding. Tbe experiments or n atnan y. morgan, ot Union Springs, present much more favorable results. He always commences fattening in Spring, at which time a bushel of corn is more valuable in its results than in Autumn, and continues a regular course of feeding throughout the season. Tbe corn is ground, and 90 pouuds of hot water poured on every sixteen pounds of meal, and after standing 12 to 18 hours, the whole mass becomes thick feed. He finds by measured experiment that tbe value cf tbe corn is fully doubled by this pro cess, as compared with corn fed in tbe ear, aad fifty per ceuL better than meal merely mixed with cold water. One bushel of Corn thus prepared, after deducting 10 per cent toll for grinding, and leaving only 64 pounds for the bushel will give 35 poinds Tf pork or at the rate of 21 pounds or com ror eacn pound of pork.- W hen pork is five cents per pound he obtains at the rate of $1 per bushel for his corn, or at tbe present tims, when it is 15 ceots, tbe corn will yield $3 per bushel A coincidence will be observed between these experiments and those of Lawes as above stated. While Morgan obtains, by scalding the meal, one pound of pork to 21 pounds of corn, he gets 50 per cent, less, or at 'the rate of one pound or pork to aj ponnos oi meai, when mixed merely with cold water, which is within less than half a pound of the quantity of meal required in Lawes's experiments, when the same kind of feed was used. In the manr trials made by N. U. Morgan, be bad every advantage cf good, sound corn, comfortable quarters, cleanliness, regularity ol feeding, and quality or breed.- tie louoa me heat sound corn double the value of a great deal that it used when badly grown or imperfectly ripened, or more or lest mouldy. The Con wry utnticman. A BRiw abstract of the report of the Committee on the Conduct of the War on the failure of the Petersburg mine, it supplied by telegraph. It amounts to just this : that the mine and tbe assault wbicb followed its explosion would have succeeded had ita direction remained with Gen. Burnside, who superintended it from the beginning. That General wished tojpnt bis colored troops in the van, Gen Meade objected. Gen. Graut says, "Had they made the assault I have ub doubt it would have succeeded." And the Committee lay generally that but for tbe interference of Uen. Meade at the end, who from the begin ning lad disbelieved in and contemptuously criticised the project of the mine, it would have accomplished its object But when Geo. Meade oarae to understand that tbe explosion aLd assault bad probable cbsoce of success, helssumad the direction of It, and by his disarrangement of Gen. Hnrnside't plant became responsible Tor the resulting laiiure. Vaar Trus, A French author Fay!

This is a world of antagonism. Tbe good and the bad in every conoeirable form are In perpetual collision with each other. And though it may be mortifying to make the concession yet the real or supposed bad passions of others do sometimes, se irritate as that we under a mistaken view of the true character of our feelings develop a state of mind at malicious as that which we detest in our supposed enemies. ' Tbe legitimate efluct of such a course can only be to augment rather than diminish the blighting social evils already so prevalent and threatening in community. But lew persons are openly malignaut. Such have no character to loose and no aspirations for improvement But to say tbe last of this class they are less dangerous than those who harbor the passion of hatred under the delusion that it it harmless and in imitation of holy beings forgetting that these find the object of hate in the vices and not ia the pertont of men. Hatred in its most natural sense denotes in him who indulge, it (whether he is deceived or not) au intensified ill will. And be who harbors it will in some manner seek the injury of the hatred object If the ostensible character of tbe subject of this vile passion is such as to create no apprehensions of that kind of revenge which might be found from theunpretondicg,villuin still resistance in some form will naturally develop the sheer vicious-ness of purpose which the obnoxious passion, never fuils to beget in the bosom of its sub ject tbongh it may be entertained as an inno cent guest or absurdly christened as an apology for its Introduction to decent company Vice does not necesarlly attach to human beings but personality does. Tbe latter is not changed by sin and hence can no more be come an object ot justifiable hatred than aoy other inherent quality of the man." The Creator loves the person of sinners no matter how much they hate him even if tbey were malicious enough to desire the extinction of his being he would still love their persons. Because, personality is an element of being created by himself and is still "his image" rind not less so io the unholy than in tbe-holy-This love of the persons of man was the move-ing cause of the gift of the Son of God "that whosoever believcth on him might not perish but have everlasting life." Tbe new life into which the pardoned sinner emerges implies the eradication of hatred and like him who said "love your enemies! be learns to "Hate the tin with all his heart And yet the sinner love." - X. letter from John F. Reynolds Mouth or WHiTit Rivrb, Arkansas, ) , - 96th 0. Battalion, Jan. 27, 1865. Ed. Republican : Dear Sir : Through tbe solicitations of some of yonr readers, I once more take np my pen to let yon know of my whereabouts. We are still Camped at tbe month of White River, guarding this post, nnder the management of Gen. McGinnis, a brave and worthy soldier ; nothiog of tbe bravado abont him, a patriot of blameless integrity, and a gentleman la every sense of the word. He has brought Older out of confusion since he has taken charge of this post Capt Eastman, of Company A, Provost Mar thai, whose diligence to business has cat short tbe rations qmaoy bogns Union men, beyond the lines, who bad, nader former officers, been permitted to come and go as they pleased ; tie lines are now closed, and many a reb's snp-ply cut oft ' , ' . The weather has been very cold, and seme ssow, making the boys hug close the fires in tbeir cabins. Rebel deserters keep coming in from Hood's, Price's, and Forrest's command; iu the last three days thirty-one have come into our camp, hard and ragged looking set Io a conversation with one ol them I learned that they bad been hiding around since tbe fight at Nashville, and their food was very little. One of them was a Lieut-Colonel, one Captain, a Lieutenant, and twenty-eight privates. Some of them being cavalry from Forrest, brought in their horses, a litUe of the poorest horseflesh I ever saw. This gentle. men informs me that every man who left Monroe county, Texas, to take part iu the struggle, those who have not been killed, or died, have deserted, thoroughly disgusted with tbe rebellion, and declare they will never lift their bands against the Stars sod Stripes again. Theyeay nothing bnt misfortune has come opon them for tbe last two years. He also said, that out of three companies which left Twiggs county, Texas, not one msn remains they have all been killed, and died in different hoBpituls. They all acknowledge the "Coo-tbieveracy" played, and their leaders very much co(r)nfouuded and cofrjnfused, and say it is useless to strive against fate, or kick sgaiost tbe "powers that be for they all seem to be heartily ashamed of their conduct tbe last three years. These deserters seem to constitute the backbone of their countrymen. who have heretofore stood firm, but who now canDot see how their trials and privations can avail anything. Deserters from tbe traitor For rest, say he would not furlongh them, nor hin. der them from leaving, but tell them to go to h I at be did not care d a where they went, for the whole Confederacy was going to the devil, by the conduct of their leaders. , One of tbe 9th Mississippi rebs came In this moraine, and in a converaaUw with him told me that out of 100 young men who left Tipton, only thirteen remain to bring tidings from the many fields of blood. These thir teen have all deserted, and at their different homes, waiting for chance to See North. He lays they have received nothing but hard knocks and ill-usage, and jhe country u full of deserters from tbe rebel army, and hiding around to keep out ot JetTs hands. They all say that if the war is not settled before spring we may expect a general stampedo ; and laughing! advise nt to keep a good stock of no- N01G. "sow-belly and "hard tack" on ban! for the returning tinners. We bade them good-day, and told them to "ge, and tin no more. We have quite a number of refugees here feeding, prior to sending them up to "God's coantry." A large number of Arkansas refa gees from Little Rock, 800 io number, hive started North ; where they will be free from tbe Insults of these cotton lords, aad not considered "mudsills" or "poor white troth." I tee that the Chicago Timet it making much ado about the accident to tbs steamer J. II. Dickey, and the dreadful loss of li fo,as it says. This paper is always ready to chronicle a defeat to our arms, or an accident, but a victory never. Tbe whole turn and substance of the collision Is ai follows: The Dickey, while conveying the 161st New York, part of our brigade, down the river, was run into by the Raine. Tbe Dickey was the worst looking wreck I have seen since the Yazoo expedition. Her smoke stacks are both gone, and larboard guards, from forward end of boilers to aft of wheel and from hull to hurricane deck, are shoved off clean, also reviving levers and throttle-valve of larboard engine all gone. Tbe Timet has the loss of two hundred of the 161st N. Y., which is false. Here is ad account from the Captain of tbe boat, (Callahan) : He says the Dickey was in her proper place, bend side of Diamond Bend, twenty miles below Vicksbarg.. The Raine came np the same side without blowing her whistle. The Dickey stopped and backed, but the Raine did not stop until a moment before the collision ( the engineer of tbe Raine says he obeyed the signal to shut off steam, as soon as given, but before he could do so the collision occurred. There were 800 soldiers on the Dickey, and only two were lost, but five others will die of wounds received from the accident, also two deck hands lost Capt Callahan signalled the Raine to come to his assistance. She ran into her the second time, with such force as to cut his guard into the hull, and killing another tol-dier.We read of the Christian Commission doing much for the soldiers, bat the boys of the 96th "can't see It" or we have not been the lucky ones. Our boys feel the total absence of reading matter. I myself know it is a hard matter to -get anything to road. - We want books, papers, Aa, which can be read and passed down from hand to hand, and amuse, interest, nay, benefit them more than the tri fles that might be distributed to gratify the stomach. Periodicals, papers, and- miscella neous matter of any kind, would be thankfully received, especially our own home paper to while away the hours not on duty. These things can be eaiily had, whether the gift of a generous people, or the purchase of the Commission. Fathers and mothers, your sons at the "front" need something as well as those at the "base" of operations. For tbey are manfully battling for God and and humanity, and hurling back armed traitors to hell from whence they came. It serves to keep your son, husband, and brother from the card table and other pernicious practices. We are not beggars, but since these things can be so eas ily had, it can be no harm to jog yonr memories to a sense of -duty. There is no better treat than to receive tbe Republican, and peruse it, advertisements and all, all anxieos to tee it, which, by-the-war, bat made a decided improvement since it has donned its new bead, and we bpe the citizens of old Knox will give it a generous support. The Knox county boys are all well end the health of the regiment baa never been better, only one death within tbe last six months. The boys have pat ap a large log church, 25 by 30, in which they are now holding s series of meetings. As all our chaplains have played out, the concern now is ran by the privates, and the saving of "soles" left to our regimental shoemaker,, who charges three prices. There wat large fleet passed down the river last night; -seventeen transports filled with soldiers, nnder the command of A. J. Smith, as brave a soldier and experienced offi cer as there is in Uncle Sam's service. Tbe destination of tbe expedition is unknown, but wherever "Old Wbitey" goes, look out for something to be did, for be is death on. rebels. He is a favorite among the boys, and when you hear them cheering yon may bet that old A. J. is about He was oar old leader. Since the above has been written, we learn from Dan. Cooper that it was Geo. Griersou'i Cavalry Command, instead of General A. J. Smith. They disembarked at Gaines Land ing, some twenty miles below us. Look oat for stirring news, for If Grierson does net make the Johnnys scratch gravel we are no judge of "tangle-foot juice," or "Bunkers 40 lod commissary."

C, Fob. 7, '65. - However tome of the best friendi of the Government may have doabtod the policy of the propriety bf the visit of President Lincoln and his veteran Secretary of State to meet the rebel commissioners, there ate two facts which1 cannot be overlooked as we read the history,' and study the result of their so-called nego-' . tiation. First, the President could not have ' stood to hit countrymen and to the world, if he had refused to meet these commissioners : ' second, having now met them, and listoned to their demands, be can go before his country-' men of both sections,' and before all the nations, upon the record of the case. We have only to go back to the initials and recent efforts of Mr. Greeley, Mr. Weed, Mr. Bay-moad, and others equally eminent, to see bow essential the ripest wisdom is to 'th adjust-' ment of our national and international complications. These gentlemen, through their three great newspapers, however opposed oo personal issues, were too conscious of their relations to the American people, and-their responsibility to their Government'to hesitate , at any occasion to secure an honorable peace, as they did not fear to act on this high motive. Could the President be indiffetent to ' tbe public opinion they aided to cultivate T They are neither brave nor sagacious who, in a crisis to terrible and so unparalleled a this, can stand on personal ideas, and refuse to move from narrow pedestals ; oars is the period for large thought and sublime magnao. imity. Hence, when Abraham Liucoln and, Wm. H. Seward proceeded to meet the Southern commissioners, we honored them for their manliness and their liberality ; and although they did not fulfil the full expectation of th friends of the Union, theyrevertheless achiev ed a substantial victory. Messrs. Stephens,' Hunter, Campbell, etc., have before this laid' their case before the Southern people ; and these people have heard, or must soon bear, that their leader would consent to nothing bat the recognition of tbe rebellion. We are nnable to ssy how much Mr. Lincoln is willing to concede. Suffice it, tbe only condition to honorable peace seems to have been declined by the rebel com missioners that condition being the reetora-'-tion of the Federal Union, and 'obedience to all the laws of Congress. Could a batter picture be hud before, the deluded and despairinjr Southern people T We aaaert that then is not a man or woman In the South, who has ever really believed that the people of the free States would agree to make peace on the basis of separation of the American Republic. What, then, must tbey, the fighting Southern men and the starving Southern men and wo. men think of those who refuse to compromise enr great troubles, unless Mr. Lincoln agree to sunder and surrender the American Uaionf The first effort of this decision will be to units tbe North and divide the South. We observe that on -Saturday, Mr. Fernacdo Wood of New York, tbe very bead and front of the peace party, laid in the House, after hearing that the rebels bad insisted on Recognition as a preliminary to a close of tbe war : Rumor said that tbe negotiation bas failed ; it ill to be regretted. - Bt if it failed ia consequence of the indisposition of the rebel authorities to return to their allegiance and duty on the basis of the common Constitution, they might as well know, a far aa be represented tbe peace sentiment, that he would . not sustain them in tbeir position. He was opposed . to the war because be was opposed to dissolution. But if the door had been thrown open, by the President, and if the answer to that was that they would accept recognition and. separation and .nothing else, then he desired to say that with his bumble efforts be would aid the conquering armies of bis country, to--obtain by force what it has been unable to obtain by peace. ( (Ve take these words as they were spoken, and believe io them. The Democrats of tho free States, whether of the war or the peace party, however they have felt, (as indeed tome , of tbe Republicans have felt) on the subject of separation, at tbe first of this great revolt,-are now for fighting this fight to the eucL. whether that end be bitter or sweet, they now believe that the only salvation for tbe nation' ii in reunion. In fact, Mr. Lincoln's frank acceptance of the offer to negotiation fori peace ha disarmed au party animosities In the free States. And when it was made clear that the ooly impediment to peace was a "demand for recognition, separation and disunion oo the part of the rebel convoys, the masse-of tbe loyal States will naite as pnaman to straggle to the last tor the Government of on' common forefathers. It ie announced that when tbe "rebel com. missioners passed through th rebel lines, on their way to Fortress Monroe, they were loudly cheered and we know they were kindly welcomed by the Heroes of tb Republic Shall we ask why t Because both sides re garded them as missionaries, ready to show their devotion to the old Flag, and to the old.

First, it will show thai tbe President of th United States of Aaieri. ea, th 07TrtjTiwecl of th greatest Government ou earth, voluntarily treated with tbe tnmgnided foe of oar country. rxnd, it will abow that be was ready to yield evry-thing 'for th restoration of the old Union but th abolition of slavery, suit conftitntiiipaily-tecured.
