Rented to the view tliis month was that of the New Englanil fjniversiftljsts. at " the 18th Annual Festiral of the Universalista at St. Andrews Hall," (a pious place) Boston. Among the smart and pertinent sayings of those who preach the .-"glad tidings of UntTersal salvation.'' was the declaration put upon record by the Ker. A. J. Can fie Id, of Concord. N. that, " f.John Murray and the other fathers enuld come up at this time, they would add to their creed the Temperance Police Bill, the President's Proclamation, and a hell for a few thousand years for the worst of traitors.: The modern. .Universalis!' .must-'aid in purifying the Government, and help to develope humanity." We should infer from the official report that " if John Murray and the other fathers could come up" they would reveal startling disclosures of their exerience down there; and they would say that to require " a hell for a Jew thousand years," is like having an army to support a peace establishment, and that keep-itig. such liot-gospelers is a strange way to " make known Thy way upon earth,' Thy saving health among all nations." Verih we live in maveloua limes a sort of millenial epoch is upon us. Methodism, Uui-versnlisni, Episcopalianisni and Romanism, seem to have struck hands and made common cause. In large capitals and glowing head lines, ihe self styled relisiious journals announce that " Bit-hop Mc-Urnine . lias gone to the Front" "Biahop Rosecrans is at Head-quarters in the Field." The .champion' of Oxf.trd Divinity the He-ids of the Holy and of the liomsn Church, clothed with racer dotul and pontifical robe?1, are "on horseback. ' and chaunt the s!f same strains. Ttiat immaculate expounder of Methcdiaism, Parscn Brown low, fulminates thunders and prays God in bin infinite goodnesB and mercy to en-l trge the bouiidaris of hell ; wh-le the saint-lv Canf.cid, wlio of erst from the pulpit declared ilml "there is no hell, or if there is you need not fear it. my brethren, for I give you my word that it is not hot enough to roast a whippoor wiJl'e rg," now poe in for " a hell for a few thouHand years," and calls on God to i kindle the fires hotter. " Father Abraham"' invokes the prayers of the church ; arid those who " miniMer at the holy altar," labor as zealously as did the Cyclops to execute his commands ! " Modern Universalits must aid in purifying the, Government and help to develope humanity." by giving up their hostility to hell. Robert Bale Owen relinquishes his infidel views and joins in the work of " the Chrisiian Commiseinn." The quondam believers in a hilf-way house, merge - purcatorv into hell ; and feeble humanity, sinking under its load of debt, taxation, war and disaster, become a conglomerated, consolidated mass.

Manufacturers of all kinds are paying enormous taxes, to keep the Lincoln machine running, but the taxes are-only added to the price of the article, whether it be whiskey or calico, and the poor consumer ha to pav it all. But where is the use of complain-in? ? The Lincoln dyma6iy declare that there will be no end to these things until the slaves of the South are all set free I The Losses ia Battle. An intefligent officer in the army, whose facilities for obtaining reliable information are undoubted, estimates that 'luring the thirty days of fighting, for the possession of Rioh- mon.l, our losses have been sixtj thousand men. Of these at least forty thousand have, been wounded, ten thousand killed, and ten thousand capture-!. The rebel losses are represented as greater than ours in every engagement. But this cannot b true. If Lee had lost sixty thousand men in this short cam paign, he could not now have more than sev enty tnousand la oppose us, add with this number he could not possibly resist the as- eauts of the Federal forces aa he has done. Effect of Lincoln's nomination. The first noticeable effect of the nomination of Lincoln by the office-holders , and shoddy contractors, was to cause gold to advance in price three per cent. .This fact ehows conclusively that the mooted men of the country, who furnish the means to keep op the credit of the Government, have no confidence in the Sangamon joker.' .

John Wagner, of Perry township Ashland county,- committed suicide, by; shooting him self, in consequence of intense trouble caused ! by loosing two sons in this " cruel war." We hear of similar suicides all over the country. Mr. Richard Buckirgham, of Springfield township, Richland county, has gone crazy." and been taken to the Lunatic Asylum at Co lumbus. His insanity was produced by hav ing a big pile of Chase's greenbacks on hand, which were becoming more and more worthr less every day. Hon. Thomas J. Kenny of Ashland, and and Judge James A. Estill of Holmes, have been been chosen delegates from the 14th Con-gressial district, to the National Democratic Convention at Chicago. Wm. Newman, Esq., of Portsmouth and David C. Vance of Adams county, are delegates to the Chicago Convention from the lltli Or Scioto district. Mr. Otho S. Ilalloway, of Flushing.

First Rate Notice of Lincoln's Renomi-- nation. : The following is a specimen of the wav the hottest and independent press notice the nomination of Lincoln by the eflipe-holdt;rs: and contractors at Baltimore. The New York Darly AVtc sayii: "No one is surprised at the renomination of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency by the lialti inore Coiivewtion. Oit-gnsting as it tuay be, it was inevitable as that the sun will breed maggots in a dead ilog. Mr, Lincoln, iii effect, has renominated himself. The B ilti-more Convention was but tlie engine he constructed and used to give publicity, to the fact. The sublime impudence of. the uiawi in thus thrusting himself for re-election before a peon pie .that ".utterly 'abhor and d is pise him, is in" strict accordance with his character and ante- eeaen(8. r.ievatea to ttie .rresMettcy tv a p-o- j micai -accident lie proposes now to retain bis seat by corruption ami' violence. If the people, -Alter, their - express-ion".' permit it, they will d serve to be ruled by him." The New York Worfd says: v "But Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Jolmson are both men of mediocre- talents. neglected education, narrow views, rdeficieut information,: and coarse, vulgar manners." How Lincoln's Nomination Was Eeceiv-ed. ; The Baltimore correspondent ofe the New York Post, a Lincoln paper, in noticing the nominatioi of Lincol.i, says: "Dr. Breckenridge's references to Mr. Lincoln, as the coming standard bearer, were saluted with warm applause at first, but not with that outpouring of tJte soul expected. Compared with the enthusiasm at Cleveland when Fremont's name was even alluded to, it was nothing in point and volume and fire. For the effect of Fremont's acceptance upon- the Convention, I prefer to leave 3'ou to the result of its deliberation, to prophesying about it. An office-holder said to me ; thismorning that madness rules the hour. I replietl that I thofight it was rather office-holders and contractors who nried it." How Gen. Banks Makes "War. A New Orleans correspondent of an Eastern Republican paper, in speaking of Geri. Batiks Red river expedition, says : " VV th his usual brilliant sagacity, he sent a cavalry force and wagon train six mi'es long to dislodge him The wagon train was loaded with champaign, ice, jellies, potted meats, hair cloth chairn, sofas, spring mattrasses and other necessaries of a vigorous campaign." The Ravag-es of War. The Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says : CoLUMBrs, June 10. Another of those impressive, but sad scenes, was witnessed Uwlay in the return ofthe 58th Ohio Regiment. Of full 1,000 Germans, who left this cjty three years ago, with gay pennants flying and martial music, barely 100 bronzed veterans filed mournfully into the State-house yard to-day." The nomination of Lincoln kr tk Ab olition office-holder and shoddy contractors, appears to have fallen like a shower-bath u pon the heads ofthe masses ofthe Abolition party throughout the country. It has produced no enthusiasm whatever. Not a single meeting has been held to ratify it not gan haa been fired, nor a flag nnftitfed to the breeze. The reign of Shoddy draweth to a close. - .i lThe Wayne County Democrat, published at Wooeter, has ran up to its mast bead the name of Franklfn Pierce, or New Hampshire, for President, and that of Geo. IT. Pen-dIetO9.ol.0hio. for Vke President; and in An ditorial srticlv of mch force sets forth reasons whj the Democratic party should unite o aheee distinguished statesmen. Is the Rebellion Near its End ? To those who think that the taking of Richmond will end the rebellion, we recommend a perusal of the following article from the Xonisville Democrat : We see that some of our enthusiastic contemporaries are looking to. the end of the rebellion, and reading a lecture on the wisdom and moderation required to reconstruct. They seem : happy in contemplating the fact that the work is nearly done, and in the enjoyment of a self-complacent fealing, close with an exhortation of caution and prudence in the hour of triumph. We see that Congress has passed a bill to dispose of the confiscated lands of rebflst They are to be given in parcels of forty acres to soldiers, without distinction of color. Sambo is to be a landlord, and to become politically the equal of other loyal men, and the superior of rebels. So we see that arrange-monts are being completed to meet the expected happy result so confidently expected in a brief period. It would be consoling if we were, indeed, near enough the end to see through ; but it is not a flattering prospect. The rebels have as much confidence in their success as ever they had. They are particularly defiant just now, and we have learned by experience that they I now their own resources better than we do. The terrible fighting lately does not indicate any immediate success. We have not got Richmond yet ; and it looks like its capture will cost a much as it .will come to. Mr. Cowan of Pennsylvania, in the Senate, seems much annoyed. at the action of the House in counting chickens before they are hatched He speaks with contempt of these preparations for what is not yet. in sight. Republican as he io, he was impertinent enough to say that these measures, out of tiine and but of taste, were so rhanv obstacles to a restoration of the Union. ; This self coinplacenev that delivers lectures 'upon how well we are to behave wlien the rebellion is put down, strikes us as much out of time. The rebellion has several times seemed nearer at an end than it ir, now. We ha ve had t he rebels discouraged, starved o'.tt, and re;uly to quit often ; but there bus been seldom any proper, appreciation of their strength and the obstinacy of their resistance. . ' :." -': - If we take Riciiinire another Richmond tdv tafe: We not held our own in the South-west, and are moving slowly in the East. Better wait, and not whistle till we are out of the woods.

For instance, we would quote the ; following- para graphs froni the "Farewell Address. They are pointed, explicit, and need not the -aid of a commentator to show where they belong. Be so good, gentleman, as to put on your spectacles a nd read the fol-lowing : "But the Constitution cannot be maintained nor the Uuion preserved in opposition to public feeling by the mere exertion of the coercive powers confided to the general government. The foundations must be laid in the affections of the people ; in the security it gives to life, liberty, character, and; property, in every quarter of the country ; and in the fraternal attachment which the citizens of the several "states bear to one another as members of one political family; mutually contributing to promote the happiness of each other. Each state has the unquestionable right to regulate its own internal concerns according to its own pleasure ; and, while it does not interfere with the rights of the; people of other states or the rights of the Union, every state must be the sole judge of the measures proper to secure the safety of its citizens and to secure their happiness, and all efforts on the part of the people of other states to cast odium on their institutions, and all measures calculated id disturb their rights of property, or to put in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility, are in direct opposition to the spirit in which, the Union was formed, and must endanger its safety.. Motives of philanthropy maybe assigned for this unwarrantable interference, and such men may persuade themselves that they are laboring in the cause of humanity and asserting the rights of the human race; but every one, upon sober reflection, will see that- nothing but mischief can come from their improper insults upon the feelings and rights of Others. Rest assured that the men found busy in this work of discord are not worthy, of your confidence, and deserve your strongest reprobation. v- .

We sometimes hear members of the Democratic party say : " The Democrats can't elect a President this fall : they had better make no nomination ; just keep up the State" and county or- ganizatious ; let the Abolitionists hare , full sweep ; it is their war and let them , have"whatever honor or dishonor may attach to it ; .Lincoln can and will con-; trol the army for his own behoof." There seems to be no disagreement among Oemocrats as to the fact that the country is on the high road to ruin and running down an inclined plane with the breaks up. All of them are sort of hol- ding their breath in anticipation of the j fearful crash. Is it wise, therefore, in view of this Lamentable condition of; things, to fold our arms and interpose no effort to save the country from the destruction that seems to await it ? Grant that it is not a war of our beget- ting ; grant that our advice has hot been ' great line of the enemy's communica-followed in its prosecution: this does tion9. while mine would ? not relieve us from; the responsibility of tryrng to displace from power, through the agency prescribed by the Constitution, the men who now hold it as with an iron grasp. No one whose mind, intelligence and judgment are not dwarfish in proportions, believes that the Government will survive at the end of four years from now if the present party is perpetuated in. power, and it ad-ministercs its affairs with the recklessness with whicn it has since the party-came into power. And shall we make no effort now to bring about a change ? Will we stan d acquitted . i n history will we stand justified with our own consciences can we expect the approval of hea ven if we shall refuse to take advantage of the opportunity that now offer to make a bold, a vigorous effort to displace the party in power ? There is too much at stake to justify indolence or apathy. Constitutional Liberty for ourselves and for unborn generations is at stake a prize the most glorious that ever pealed out an invocation to man to labor resolutely and untiringly to win. Shall we, then, play the sluggard ? ' " The army will be thrown against us, and there is no hope for us." Considerations like : these, if even well- grounded, carry with them no eztenna- ting force for. iTfdierewXorartJ the performance of that duty. If unsuccessful we shall not be afflicted with self-accusing reproaches. County, District and State organizations are not only right ; but they are necessary. Candidates for Congress should be nominated and erected who will reflect the will of their respective constituencies. But of equal, if not of tar greater, importance is it, that a candidate shall oe put in nomination for the Presidency who will as nearly as possible reflect the views of a majority ot the Democrats, it is important that that nominee should be a man who not only thoroughly understands the Con stitution and the history touching its tormation and adoption, but who, if elected, will make his administration conform to it in spirit and letter. Thatinstrument-was formed to meet the requirements of. iron-handed war as well as to minister to the " piping times of peace. . V e have men in our ranks who never justified or palliated a single infraction of the Constitution, or glossed oyer its perversion strict constructionists men who would not take into the Presidential chair either the feelings of prejudice or resentment of enlarged and generous views, who would bind up and heal the wounds of our bleeding country who would give peace, tranquility and prosperity to a torn and distracted Republic. This is the sort of a man the mass of the Democratic party want put in nomination, and we have high hopes that the Chicago Convention will present them such a uominee. . "v - About Lawyer Generals. The New York Times champions Mr. Lincoln bunglingly. Its editor writes a book showing what a brilliant general " Honest Old Abe" has proved to be, and then, doubtless to relieve his conscience, writes an article in his paper about civilian generals, in which occurs the following terrible criticism upon the subj cct of his book eulogy : Not one solitary civilian, from the beginning of the . way. until now, has shown himself competent -for high ; command . .Ihe folly of- trusting military empiri cism has been written out in letters of blood, with Illustration .after illustration, during this war," so that no observing man in the country can possibly .gainsay it. The trnth otrght to have been plain enough at the outset, tliat military science demands a systematic and protracted study as that of law or medicine ; and that it is just as absurd . to improvise a general from a lawyer or a merchant, as tp .improvise, a judge from a schoolmaster, or a. physician from. me-ch,anlc ; The want of professional training U just " as sure to make military charlatans- as to make legal or ' medical charlatans" ''.'y . ". : , - "Tis is all true, enough, pren tongh it was writteA by the author of the new . Life of Lincoln." The following document -gives its paxticalar point: : Executive Mansion 1 "Washington, February 3, 1862. Major- General McClellan, My Dear Sir: You and I have distinct and different plans for a movement of the Army of the Potomac. , Yours to he done by the Chesapeake ; up the Hap pahannock to Urbana, and across and to the terminus of the railroads on the York river the very point where Grant now rests his base; mine to move di- rectly to a point on the railroad south- west of Mannasas.

In case of tlisaster, would not a retreat be more difficult by your plan than mine . .' ; - : Yours truly, . Abraham Lincoln. Burnside and Hooker both tried this lawyer's plan, and it has cost Gen. Grant fifty thousand men to partially cany it out, and reach a point where by water he could have planted his army without the loss of a man. Put the country can judge whether the court biographer or the journalist, comes the nearer to the truth in these, very different estimates of the lawyer who is commahdcr-in-chicf of our armies. World. State Sunday School Convention The Doctrine of Hate. From the Chillieothe Advertiser, June 3d. . . The State Sunday School Conven-tioh met in this citv on Wednesday of last week" and adjourned on Thursday nijrht. 'As we stated last week, the at-temlance from abroad was not very large. The ostensible object of this Convention, was the interchange of views as to how Sabath Sohools could bo made more efficient for good as to the best method of teaching as. how teachers could be more interested as to how the attendance of adults, Church TO'Tr8,ddJ,Kr?, nf - frtrtillfraf" fbej be made to comprehend the great work committed to them by the . head of the Church, and brought to act with faith in the promises of the word of God, laboring for the immediate conversion of children. The resolutions adopted by the Convention have not yet been published. On the motion of a Rev. J. Ilmssey, lately an inmate of Libby Prison, we understand, a series of resolutions were adopted, expressive of the sentiments ofthe Convention on the duty of all good citizens touching the Rebellion. One of these resolutions as adopted makes it the . duty of Sabbath School Teachers to inculcate in the minds of their pupils hate of the rebels. Judge McCoy sought to have this resolution omitted; but Mr. M. Barrere made a speech in which he enforced the propriety of hating the rebellion and the reb-els, and the resolution was adopted. He had lost an arm in the ?ervice and he hated the rebels "and wants the rising generation to be taught to hate, them, too. - '-' It is utterly impossible for us to conceive how a man professing to. walk in conformity with the Divine teachings should advocate the moulding of the minds of the children of the North into intense haters of the people of the South. Such teachings may be executed in partisan harangues and at recruiting sta-tions; but it seems to us that it is out of place exceedingly in a body of Sabbath School Teachers, whose dntv outrht to be to traiti the youthful mind to walk in the paths of holiness. If the rising generation are to be taught to hate the people of the South, what is the use of trying to bring the South back into the Union? Can a Union be affected can it be made permanent can it be made desircable by cultivating an irreconcilable hate between the contracting parties? It is ajassport to Redemption to hate our fellow-man? ; It is the Lord, who is represented as merciful . made glad by the teachers in what should be the nurseries of Heaven teaching the hellish doctrine of hate? Will the Angels tune their hayps to a more joyous strain" as the offerings are being offered up in Sabbath Schools to the demon of Hate? Will Christ, with the wounds of Cavalry started anew, confess to" the Father, that the doctrine He taught while on -earth; was" erroneous that He was speaking after the manner of sinful man, and not as the Son of God, when he said: "ie have beard that it hath been said thou shalt love thy neigbor, anj hate thine; enemy: but I say unto you, Love, yow enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, -and pray for them that de-spitefully use yOu,T and persecute you ; that je rny be the children . of your. Faiber rbicli' is in Heaven: for bd ma-keth his son to rise on the evil and on the goody-and sendeth. rain on the just and on the unjusL For if je love them which . lor you, what reward bay je? tio ncrt even thepubKcfeas the ameT And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than ether sf do not even the publicans so? Be ye, therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect." St. Matthew V, from 43 to 48 inclusive. When this injunction ot Christ is contrasted, with the action of a majority of the State Sabbath School Convention at this city last week, the declaration of Rev. Mr. Bryson, that he "has noticed one great want fn Bible classes; it was a failure to reduce the great truths of the Bible to practical use there tea too much, of a lack of confidence in the truths of the Bible;' ' assumes the form of a n unquestionable and lamentable truth. Whoever believes in the Bible and would have his children taught to conform to its requirements, must be mortified that a few hotheaded and indiscreet individuals should have been permitted to commit the State Sabbath School Convention to a doctrine so palpably in conflict with the doctrines of the Bible and at variance with the teachings of Christ. In their moments of cool reflection, the members of that Convention must become satisfied that th great cause of Sabbath Schools and godliness are not thus to be promoted. In view -of this, people who are sincerely pious may regret that the Convention was held. Some Curious Hatters. It may perhaps have been remarked by observant people that the blatant " loyalists,"- no longer howl . about the 4 overland route" to Richmond. They ; are mute fis mice. It is worthy of notice that thebraw-ling "loyalists" no longer howl about the bogus proclamation since it turned out to be a llepvblican forgery for . the loyal object of a little stealing. . ' It is delightfully curious that the blathering" loyalists" no longer howl so much about 4 Copperheads" since the great Fremont movement took place ; neither do thev abuse Conservatives" so much since the so-called Radicals have spurned them away. It is charmingly significant that the" sugar-coated ' loyalists," Raymond, Forney & Co., are not quite so fond of Butler as they formely were, Old Abe having perpetrated a joke about setting three Generals to va tch him. tisar.bappyicfiiOf-rflrtinj"!- uv. iue recanunff - oi au-ieiur- tvj Germans which the vociferous "loyalists" are now guilty of. ..: It is an amusing evidence of some marvelous change of taste that the fastidious " loyalists" now begin to decry old members of their party as " longhaired impracticables," " extremists," 4.fanatics," " dssorganizers," &c, It is a IRtle rich, we should say excessively rich, that since " Joan of Arc" declared she , couldn't see the point" to " Old Abe's" jokes, she, too, has become a 44 forward minx" a -very '" immodest" creature, etc. Oh, the fickleness of these immaculate 44 loyalists." Plain Dealer. ' . Scarcity of Farm Hands. A reliable and. intelligent gentleman who has returned from a recent visit to some of the northern counties infoms us that the scarcity of farm hands in that section exceeds all previous apprehensions in that "particular. He state that a grown man at work in the field is rare sight. The farm labor is mostly done by women and children. Hal mentions one instance which came under his observation where there is not a man to be found upon either one of four farms : adjoining each other. In one case Ire saw . a girl some . fourteen years of age'and a byother younger, engaged in logging. " Probably a large share of the farm work in the State this season will be done by woman and children. This is especially true, as to the sections of the State occupied by farmers of moderate means.; Of course we may anticipate a considerable depreciation in the quantity of State products for the year. The coming draft in July will render this state of things considerably worse. Afilwaukee Zfetos. Patriots after their Reward. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, writing after, the Baltimore Convention, says: Fourteen car .leads of ofSce-seeker and office-holders caino here this evening, in trains from Baltimore. Tbeeo patriots came to call on Mr. Lincoln and convince him that his nomination, was wholly and solely brought about by the exertions of each particular individual patriot. The nominations at Baltimore bar not created any enthusiasm here, except in official circles. Nearly all of . the Baltimore delegates are here today and have called on Mr. Lincoln. At a gathering in the east room this morning, delegates were informally presented. There was a general shaking of hands, ,nd eome were personalljr introduced to the ,President.
