Pulpit Politic*. On the 5th instant, there was a J scene in the First Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati, altogether scandalous to religion, and illustra- | ti ve of the baneful effects of that carrying of politics into the pulpit which had so much to do with bring? ing on the war. When the war broke out, three of the elders of the church-Messrs. Baird, Johnston, and Dr. Smith-were expelled as being opposed to the Administration ; and, on the day above named, the congregation met to elect three others-the church having had only two during the war. At the meeting, the first thing was to have a chairman. That brought on a scene of angry disputation and a struggle. Rev. Dr. Anderson was nominated. Mr. Corry protested. Several ladies: "Just what we ex? pected. " Mr. Corry- would be heard, claiming to have been baptized. A sister: "Much good did it do you." Dr. Anderson gave way, and Dr. Thacker was nominated by Mr. Corry. The Doctor advanced towards the chair, when a rush was made, as in political meetings. Scuffling, strong language, and the police ensued'. Citi? zen Corry again demanded his rights as a baptized member of the church. A sister: "The infernal copperhead is none the better of it." After a violent discussion as to the right of pew-h<5!fters to*vote, "General Melancthon S. Wade was made chair? man by a vote of 31 to 37. Dr. Thacker protested that he was a ruler in the church, and the pro? ceedings were null and void. Several voices: " You're a pretty ruler; you're a copperhead, that's what you are!" Nominations were then made: cop? perheads, Dr. Smith, James John? ston and Mr. Baird ; regulars, J. C. Culbertson, William Phillips and C. G. Rogers. Now the storm taged on thi ques? tion of pew-holders or communi? cants ? in the voting. Crowd around the Chair-everybody talking-"trai? tor," "copperhead," and other "illi gant" phrases, heard above the con? fusion. The brave Corry "reached" after somebody, and somebody "reached" out after him-ladies screamed, and begged that he be "put out." Corry's index finger warned that it could not be done ! The pastor, preserving comparative calmness, deplored the exhibit '.on be? fore him of "christian forbearance and brotherly love. " Finally, the balloting took place, and the "regulars," "so-called," were elected by fifty-two to thirty seven-communicants alone voting. In announcing the result, the chair? man said: "Thank God, there are votes enough to defeat the ' copper? head ' ticket, even provided they all had a right to vote, which they had not." This was echoed by, " Thank God, thank God," from the "regu? lars;" and, after prayer by Dr. An? derson, the angry elements subsided, and the meeting dissolved. So much for political preachers and pulpits.-Richmond Dispatch. THE ABOLITION CRUSADE PREDICT? ED.-The Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, in a speech delivered in the House of Representatives during the session of January, 1842, on a resolution cen? suring John Q. Adams for presenting a petition to Congress for a dissolu? tion of the Union, drew the follow? ing correct picture of the scenes we have just realized : "A more fearful strife than that which convulsed Europe two hundred years ago, is to affront the sun and pollute the blessed light of heaven on the soil of these once free and happy States. The fierce and vengeful fa? natic, true to the principles of, his fathers, and the sworn champion of universal emancipation, holding in one hand his proclamation of free? dom and alliance to the slave, and a firebrand in the other-elated, too, with the consciousness of numerical superiority-is to invade the South, and avenge the wrongs of Africa, in massacre and conflagration. He will be met. The haughty slaveholder will greet the new crusader with bloodiest welcome. The cavalier's sword will leap from the scabbard in vindication of a broken covenant, a violated national compact, to which he had vainly trusted as a shield to his property and his rights. Sur? rounded by his household gods, in defence of his hearth-stone, the honor of his wife, the puritj- of his daugh? ter, pro avis et focis, he will incarna? dine his weapon to the hilt. "To patriot vengeance ne'er hath sword. More terrible libations poured.' And should he fall, 'out-numbered, not out-braved,' it will be amid the ht- of all he holds dear-his home, amily, his countryjand his race." [New Orleans True Delta. I The Great Robbery of 31,300.000 lu New Vorli-Furt'iitr Particulars. The discovery of the robbery was made ou last Thursday morning, when Mr. Lord, on makiug an unusual in ! 8pectiou of the interior of his money safe, missed the two tin boxes con I taming the stolen bonds. At first he was perfectly nonplussed, and sat down in silence to deliberate on what measures to adopt to secure the stolen papers and the arrest of the thief or thieves. He was not long in arriving at a conclusion, namely: an imme? diate visit to the police headquarters, iu Mulberry street, and there inform the proper officer of his loss. The case j was immediately placed in the hands I of Captaiu John Young, chief of the detective force, who summoned a number of his most expert men to .'work the case up." Mr. Lord's statement was very brief, and he could give no information whereby the j officers coi ild get a clue, nor could he give the name of a single person to whom he attached suspicion. Captain Young at once visited Mr. Lord's office. It is a very unpretentious one, ou the street floor, near the Mer? chant's Exchange. Its furniture is of a very plain character, and certainly bore no indications of its being a place where so large a sam as the amount stolen would be deposited. Tho safe from which the bonds were I taken is the ordinary old wall or bank I safe, secured by a simply-constructed I lock. Within this was another safe, in which valuable papers, such as I stocks, bonds and railroad securities were kept. The lock of the inner safe has been out of order for some time, so that it could not be bolted. Cap? tain Young mada an examination of the safe, and was not long in arriving at thc conclusion that it was rather a poor place to keep valuable papers, as any unprofessional burglar or bank thief could open it without extraordi? nary skill or effort. Mr. Lord is eighty years of age, and it is said that of late he has been apparently somewhat careless as to the safety of his per? sonal property. The following is told by way of exemplifying his want of I Crue care? It is%aid that, a s?tBtt time since, he took from his safe a very large quantity of Government bonds, and then cut off the coupons, placing the latter in his pockets and going home, leaving the pile of bonds lying loosely upon the table in his office, When he ha " gone, the porter no? ticed the bonds lying there, and not knowing exactly what to do in the case, finally decided to put them iu his handkerchief and take them home to Mr. Lord. On handing the bun? dle to him, he (Mr. Lord) asked the porter where he got them, and, or. being told, remarked quietly that he did not think that he had ever done anything like that before. It is also stated that, on the day? when the interest on the stolen bondi was due, he would take the tin boxe; containing them, and, taking a seal in his office, near the street window there occupy the greater part of th? day in cutting off the coupons When the detectives requested Mr Lord to furnish the numbers and de scription of the stolen property, hi could not give them, and it was onb by the personal exertions of Captaii Young that the list embodied in thi report was obtained. He did this b; visiting the office of the Sub-Treasur and there examining the coupons oi which Mr. Lord procured the inter?s on the hist payment day. It is furthe stated that Mr. Lord has been repeat edly kuown to leave his safe unlocke? when going home; that, on a recen occasion, he did so, when it was care fully locked by the janitor of th building, who returned him the ke; the next morning; that, on anothe occasion, the janitor found the saf key in the wash hqtad-basin. On th morning of the discovery of the rob bery, however, this was not the case the outer door of the safe wasiocket and the ke?y was in Mr. Lord's pock et. The first theory of the detective was, that some person who was ac quainted with Mr. Lord's habits o going in and out of his office, durinj business hours, got an impression o the safe key, from which a duplicat was made; but subsequent event have elispelled this idea. Of the $1, 500,000 worth of bonds stolen, ove 81,000,000 was the property of Mi Lord, and the balance belonged to friend of his, whose name has no transpired. It was in Mr. Lord' office not for business purposes, bu merely for safe-keeping. There i one fact connected witjfcthis robber from which it may bePnnferred tha the act was committed with haste On a shelf in the safe, over the on from which the tin boxes were taken were upwards of 81,000,000 worth c various American railroad securities Mr. Lord cannot positively state whe: he last saw the bonds. There is, there fore, a possibility that it might hav been a day or two before the robbery and, as the bonds were negotiable probably ere this the thief has roape the benefit of this stupendous piec of rascality.-New York Herald. A gentleman recently brought t the Treasury at Washington, a larg bun ile of partially burned Treasur notes for redemption. They wei given to one of the lady clerks t separate and paste upon sheets, so c to determine their value. The lad reproduced nearly 82,000 more tba the. anxious owner bael been able t do, who evinced his appreciation e her skillful dissection by the present? hon of 8100.

The Times has the following in relation to the change in the English Cabinet; the i report of the resignation of Earl Bussel, however, is contradicted by the London Globe and tho Pall Mall Gazette: It would, be idle to disguise the fact, that tho course of the Government since the meeting of Parliament, has been such as to excite the gravest anxiety among tho friends of a liberal Administration. People have gone about assuring one another that everything was going well, but they did so in tones which di corresponded with tho words of encouragement they uttered. Tho Administration has not been called upon to do much, its trial bas been but snort, and yet what it has done has ex? hibited a spirit of vacillation and uncer? tainty which argued ill for its future. It has see OJ cd as if anything like unity of principle was absent from its d?lib?rations; the Cabinet has been divided against itself; what ono man has proposed another has rejected, and no one has been able to guess what would bpppen to-morrow, because it was impossible to say what spirit would then be predominant." We cannot be sur? prised, then, to hear it rumored that, under such circumstances, Lord Bussell has asked her Majesty to reheve him from duties which have proved too irksome for him, and has begged permission to resign once more tho office of First Minister of the Crown. We are not in a position to affirm positively the truth of this rumor, but the existence of such a rumor so sub? stantiated is a fact in itself, and wo shall proceed to discuss it and others which have obtained equal authority as if they were well founded. It is thc usual and proper sequel to the resignation of a minister to summon thc leador of the opposition to form a Cabinet. Such a course rs most forcibly recommend? ed, because a resignation ordinarily fol? lows a defeat, and is the consequence of a transfer of confidence from tho Govern? ment to its opponents. Tho administra? tion of Lord Russell, however, has not suc? cumbed through any defection in the House of Commons. If it bas fallen, its faults, or, at least, its imperfections, have been its own. Lord Russell b >s, therefore, been justified if he has believe! that some other combination of the liberal party might bo formed capable of carrying on the government of the country. There are, moreover, grave obstacles to the crea? tion of a conservative ministry. It is un? derstood that many of those, who are re? garded as the leaders of the party in the House of Lords, and who formed the Cabi? net in the last conservative ministry, are unwilling to undertake once more the cares of office. Lord Derby himself is believed to be strongly disinclined to encounter again the arduous task of fighting against a majority in th?> Communs, if.^iodjjed, under any circumstances, he could be pre? vailed upon to return to tho Treasury. Lord Russell has, therefore, if the rumors wo have mentioned are not unfounded, re? commended her Majesty to send for the Duke of Somerset. It is, of course, pre? mature to say what might be the result of an attempt on thc part of the Duke of So? merset to form a ministry. He has many qualities fitting him for the highest office, but there are others, and those, perhaps, more important, in which ho is believed to be wanting. There can be no doubt about his energy and resolution; and his friends claim for him a singular a.hniuistrative ability, which cannot, however, be said to have been exhibited during an apprentice? ship of seven years at the Admiralty. If a strong liberal Government, either under Lord Russell or some capable suc? cessor, can be maintained, we should, of course, greatly prefer it; but, if this is rendered impossible by internal difficul? ties, we may call attention to another ad? vantage which would accrue from a tory interregnum. The country is at present embarrassed by what we may venture to call, by a metaphor borrowed from the naval service, "Yellow Admirals." Men who have come to the fore by mere se? niority and tho course of promotion, who inspire no confidence, and have neither knowledge nor genius to justify their po? sition. It would be invidious to mention them individually, but it is only necessary to recall the names of ministers, past and present, to be aware that there are some from whose claims both the great parties would gladly be relieved. They exist, and it is hard to displace them; but if they were once relegated to obscurity, no one would think of recalling them to a position of distinction. * * * * We desire above all things a good, sound, strong liberal Government. There are plenty of things for it to do. There is Ireland to be settled, a colonial policy to be determined, a foreign policy still in pro? gress of transition, the permanent ques? tion of reform to bo laid at rest; but if these things cannot be accomplished at once, we are content to wait for a season that they mav be accomplished at last more effectually. No one of these can be settled without a united Cabinet, possess? ing a definite policy, following the inspi? ration of a single leader; and although thc promise of such a result may at present be dim and uncertain, wo think we discern signs that a period of darkness and of germination might bring it to light. The Dublin correspondent of tho Lon? don Post writes of the condition: The police, both in country and city, are perseveringly pursuing their task of hunt? ing down suspected persons, and reple? nishing the jails, which, if the present state of things lasts much longer, will have to be greatly increased in number or size. Every post brings the news of fresh hauls of tho Government sweep-net, bringing in, entangled in its meshes, rebellious fish of all sizes, from district "head-centres," with well-lined pockets, down to the hum? ble " private" in the Fenian army, who has been duped of his last shilling to aid a cause of which he knows no moro than what his deceivers teil bim. Day by day the work goes on-the search for arms by day, succeeded by the nocturnal arrests without any prospect of cessation. A clever capture was effected by the po? lice, yesterday morning, of John Morris, the Carlow " head-centre," who has boen " wauted" for some months. He was taken at the house of his uncle, a farmer living near Myshal. Constable Cox, of Myshal, and five of the constabulary were, it ap? pears, out the entire Saturday night, searching for Fenian fugitives, and, at about five o'clock, on Sunday morning, they decided upon keeping a close watch upon Nolan's house, and, with that object in view, concealed themselves within view o' tho place. After remaining in their hiding-places for about two hours, they observed that the inmates were up, and the little party of police, having made their arrangements as to tho mode of action to bc pursued, went to the house, and while two of the number watched the rear of the house the remaining two and tho constable suddenly entered tho place, and found Morris partly dressed, as if ho had been lying on the bed. Finding himself snared, the Head Centre made a last effort to es? cape, but was speedily overpowered, and conveyed, upon one of his uncle's cars, to Carlow jail, Constable Cox having wisely procured a second car, with a further es? cort of police at Fermanagh, to prevent anything like an attempt at rescue. So quickly was the arrest effected and the pri? soner lodged in safe-keeping, that people i entertained grave doubts as to its accuracy I when the news was first spread, partieu-1 larly as many false rumors of his arrost had before been circulated. Much alarm has been caused hy the ro *. I i ports which havo heeu made of thc preva- | lenee pf Fenianism in tho army. Theso ! reporte are sustained by the arrests which j are being daily made of soldiers, and by ? the extensivo desertions of men " on fur? lough^ from their regiments, and everv in? ducement is held out by tho leaders of thc "mowment" to tho privates and sergeants ! of ihaseveral corps to forsake their alic- ! giaucland join the "brotherhood/' Fort thc ftftherance of that object, tho convict j Pagad O'Leary was appointed "pavmas-l ter," ind, after his conviction, thc convict W. F.tRoantree took his place, and when be wal found guilty of treason felony, at ' tho BjKcial commission, it is alleged "that he wa| succeeded byEdwaid St. Clair, who was attested at Pillsworth'? public house, in Janes street, on Thursday night. The policehre under the belief that the military then tyken into custody were there at the insta?e of " tho paymaster."' Numerous repor? have been forwarded to the detec? tives fnd to the constabulary- from the , headquarters of regiments stationed in England, in Scotland and in this country, of numbers of soldiers who had been j grant?! furloughs having deserted, and a ' ::harp .look-out bas been kept after the tra- j ant Wirrior. On Saturday evening, the ? detectives arrested the follo'wing soldiers : j William Price, Eighty-Seventh Regiment ; Daniel Lyons, Eighty-Seventh Regiment, ! Wm. Curry, Eighty-Seventh Regiment, and j James Hughes, Seventy-Fifth Regiment. ! The fdar prisoners, with many others, had been granted furloughs, at "Portsmouth, over a.nionth since, when they came direct to this country, threw away' their regi- I mentals, and assumed civilians' costumes j provided for them. It having been stated that slime of the prisoners who had been arrested at Pillsworth*s in civilian's clothes were deserters from the army, Mr. Super? intendent Ryan, who has exhibited great ability, zeal and judgment in the discharge of his important duties since thc com? mencement of the measures taken for the suppression of the Fenian movement, pro? ceeded tn the jail where the prisoners taken on Thursday night were confined, when it vas discovered that two persons, who gave their hames as Thomas O'Brien and Wilbs.ni Thompson, (strangers from England.) were no less distinguished indi? viduals ?ban Martin Hynes and Janies Wilson, deserters from the Fifth Dragoon Guards. They were fully identified, and admitted that they had belonged to the Fifth, but bad left it. The police arc making ? active inquiries for soldiers missing at the roll calls of their regiments, and who. it is stated, have allied themselves to thc Fe? nian brotherhood. ?O' WHAT TUR VOTES TN TUA SENATE LAST FRIDAY SIGNIFY.-Tho Phila? delphia Ledger s Washington cosre? poudent says the President looks upon the votes given in Congress last Friday as an augury that his restora? tion policy will be successful. But the New York Herald, which is ever ready to explain mysteries, places , them in an entirely different light. It declares that a most important politi? cal change has been conclusively de? veloped in the ranks . the dominant party. The heated ?nd sanguine ; anticipations of the radicals built up j a very ultra programme upon the sue cession of Johnson after he had so positively declared himself a "radical man." They now reluctantly sur? render their overdi*awn expectations, but only in obedience to a deliberate plan which postpones their anticipat? ed millenium until the next Presi? dential term. The executive council, recently held in Albany, of the Union Leagues of the State compared notes on the subject. The campaign is but a little more than two years distant, and the radicals have formally con? cluded that the danger of their being thrown out of power is so threatening that every effort will be needed to secure iheir hold. The radical papers in different parts of the State have fairly opv.aed the ball, while the league machinery is thoroughly ! wound up for a formal organization of every district in this interest. The signification of this change is manifested in the general tactics of the radicals. They are no longer bent upon immediate ultra measures. They are temporizing and hedging on every hand. The watch-word has been passed. They have cooled down in Congress, and turned conservative all at once in Albany. From Wash burne in the West, and Wilson in New England, as well as Alvord, Folger, Fenton and Tremain, in this State, formal indications of this po? licy have gone forth. The Rochester Democrat, their strongest organ in this State, backed by the Tribune and the recent conventions for local elec? tions, have endorsed the new pro j gramme. SNEERS AT MR. JOHNSON'S ORIGIN. ! A flatterer once said to Lord Thur? low: "I suppose your Lordship is descended from Secretary Thurlow, in Cromwell's time. " In reply, that i great man, who was great in himself, and not by virtue of descent from anybody, replied: " Sir, there were two Thurlow's in Cromwell's time; one a secretary and tho other a cur? rier. I am descended from the cur? rier." The flippant sneers of some of Pre? sident Johnson's enemies at his hum? ble origin will pass by him like the idle wind. Even in an aristocratic country like England they would be regarded, in the advanced stage of just and liberal ideas in that country, as destitute alike of wit and decency. But they come with a still worse grace from men who are always prating about the equality of mankind. Some of the greatest intellects of England and America have risen from poverty and obscurity. Hoger Sherman, Pa? trick Henry, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Andrew Jackson, and hosts of others, including many of tho most distinguished leaders of the radicals themselves, were of what is called the plebian class. But, in truth, it is idle to talk of any such class in America-a land of self-made men-where public sentiment has long since recognized merit as tho only true standard of distinction. -Richmond Dispatch. Why is a lady of fashion like a suc? cessful sportsman? Because she bags lL,he hair. LONDON.-Tho following extract from a London letter indicates the radical changes created by the march of improvements: "If anybody wishes to see London as it was, bc must come soon. The old historic land-marks, the quaint streets, the famous old houses, the queer courts and lanes and dens of antiquity, are vanishing before the utilitarian strides of city improve? ments. The Thames Tunnel is no more to he seen, save as a viaduct for railway trains. Tho finest view (poor enough) of St. Paul's is'n?iprry cut off by n railway, in inidJKT impu? dently crossing Ludgate Hill. Hol? born Valley is to bc filled np or bridged, and 'Cock Lane' and the 'Sarcen's Head,' where 'Squeers' put up, must go the dogs. From Oxford street, a wide avenue, 'straight as the crow flies,' is to be cut through, due South, to the Thames. All Americans, who have visited London, remember North? umberland House, the ancient palace of a haughty race, standing at Cha? ring Cross, just opposite Morley's Hotel, over whose lofty portal is that v^^rable lion, more than 150 years ola, with bis tail sticking up so pug? naciously, hut said to wag at 1 o'clock every afternoon. The Duke of North? umberland has been informed, by a vulgar commissioner, that he must move out ot' the way, ancient palace, lion, r?miniscences aud all, for the new street to the Thames will icu over his establishment. So the Duke is pulling up; but he gets about 8200,000 for doing so. Some conso? lation !" SHIP NEWS. PORT OP CHARLESTON, MARCH 16. ARRIVED YESTERDAY. Brig Harry, Pillsbury, Matanzas. Sehr.

Mapes, Esq., No. ll Beekman St. DEAR Sra: I have very great pleasure in writing you, touching the effects of your Super-Phosphate of Lime on our cotton crop. Having tested it against four other preparations, the appearance of the plant is most hopeful and promising, as regards a large and remunerating yield. I feel certain your manure will give from 100 to 130 pounds of cotton more than any other preparation, per acre. It is a remarkable fact that no rust is seen in the plant where your manure has been used, while all others sSbw rust, moro or less, and this is especially the case where Guano han been used. And last, though not leasv, as re? gards the planter's interest, I feel certain that cotton from Super-Phosphate will weigh much heavier than from any ot. or preparation; iu this particular, I believe Phosphates are destined to work the great? est possible revolution in the cotton-grow? ing States. (The plants look most vigorous and luxurious, some being six feet high, and holding from 80 to 110 bolls to each stalk. I aro*very truly, H. LOMAS. S. Shaw, bf Edgefield, S. C., writes, Dm beinber 14, 18C0: ''Having heard yoW Nitrogenized Super-Phosphate of Lime very highly spoken of, I thought of trying it to experiment with; accordingly, 1 bought one sack of it of your agents ia Hamburg, and applied it to turnips on the poorest sandy land in this section. My neighbor, Dei vid Glover, Esq.. who is a practical farmer, took about half the sack; we planted after tho rainy season and in the dryest kind of a spell. We have had plenty of turnips ever since the first of September. I Keep thinning mine and still have a continuous yield. Tne turnip? ave? rage about four pounds each. My neigh? bors generally planted when we had good seasons, but failed to produce a crop. Being satisfied of tho value of your fertil? izer, and pleased with its results, I felt a pride in calling my neighbors to look at my crop. You may depena that thero will be a large demand in this section for your Super-Phosphate of Lime, as it suits our land and climate." Only 80 pounds of Mapes' Super-Phos? phate per acre, costing ai>out $2, produced a luxuriant growth of cotton on the poor? est land, and prevented rust. NEWBERRY, S. C., October, 1860. Fro/. J. J. Mapes-DEAR SIR: I bought 20 bags of your Nitrogenized Super-Phos? phate of Limo of yo'ir agents, Messrs. H. A N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, S. C., (who solicited a statement of its effects,) and applied it to 40 acres of my poorest cotton land. This land is on the public road, where its effects were seen. My neighbors, who are acquainted with tho land, were astonished at the luxurious growth of cot? ton wliere I used your Super-Phosphate. It produced better cotton, and a larger amount, than on my good land; less work was needed in making the cotton than on my other land. Not a particle of rust was to be seen where I applied your Super Phosphate, while the rust prevailed over every other portion of the crop. Respect? fully yours, DAVID PAYNE. NOTK.-Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with the beat cotton lands on the Saluda River. The Saluda bottoms aie proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton. COLUMBIA, S. C., Oct. 18, 18?0. Prof. J. J. Mopes--DEAR SIR: In reply to yours of the 1st inst., 1 cheerfully state: 1 have used Mapes' Nitrogenized Super Phosphate of Lime on my cotton of tl.? present year, and am perfectly satisfied with its yield I can recommend it to mt neighbors with confidence, as a pure and effective manure, and would give it the prtSrence to anv other in tho market.
