Reticious —Yesterday the weather was more favorable for out-door movements than for some time past, and the opportunity was duly improved h-goers. Methodtst Prot. Church, Ninth st —The morn- ing service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. P. L Wilson,wbo preached from Luke, 6, 27 and 28. President Bates, of the Maryland Conference preached at night, in conclusion of his official visit, from the text of Acts, 17.30. The text occurs in an address to the people of Athens. Circum- stances bringing him {nto thiscity, Paul proposed to preach Christ to the idolatrous people; but the law prohibiting an addition to their wasen obstecle. Passing through the e of their worship, be saw an altar with ti argh ye “To the unknown God ” This afforded him an opportunity to preach bis discourse, and evade the jaw. The minister then reviewed the theme of Paul's discourse, until, coming to the text, he proceeded tosbew that without light no man is accountable. ‘There wae a time when man, unin- structed as to the nature and attributes ot God, worshipped him In representations made of stocks and stones. Because of their ignorance of bis at- tributes, this time of ignorance was winked at, cr overlooked. by Ged; but now that Christ, the light of the world, bes come, and the gospel is held up before the world to illumine the path and guide the wanderer aright, be commandeth all men to repent An explanation of what is repentance followed, showing the difference between true wud false penitence; il'ustrating the power of sympathy, and fear of consequences in producing an app2reut sorrow that is sometimes mistaken for penitence Fourth Presbyterian Church —Rev. Dr. Smith preached from Job, 3721. The Rev. speaker alluded to the inestimable blessing of sight. and directed the minds of his hearers to the visible manifestations of God’s love and mercy to us. In the present distracted state of affairs we should turn te the word of God as our only comfort and counsellor, and if our hope is fixed upon Christ, end our trust firmly established in our heavenly father, the darkness in which we are now en- veloped will only reveal to vs that brighter ight which only shines in the gloom of afiiiction and despondency The church was toa great extent responsible for the danger that now threatens the land. Professing Christians, instead of living peacefully and harmoniously together, were en- gazed in strife and dissension, and that prevail- ing, effectnal prayer, so extremely necessary at the present time, had been superseded by a trust In man’s devices for peace and prosperity. Noth- ing less than the power of God can avert thestorm that is now being raised by the corrupt and per- verted passions of men, and the only remedy for the dangers now threatening us isa revival of religion throughout the land, tbat shall bind the hearts of all men together in a common bond of brotherbrod. Waugh Chapel —The pastor, Rev. J. R. Effin- ger, preached f-om Psalms 91:2. The speaker showed the futility of trusting for support to worldly hopes and prospects, and urged the ne- cessity of looking to Christ for belp in difticulty. There was nothing stable or reliable on earth to which man could cling; but if bis affections were centered on high and Bis rest firmly established in God, no storm nor affliction of life could daunt him, nor entirely darken his heart. His christian life should be at all times and u ral! circum- stances {rreproachable, and bis religious duties should not be attended to at stated periods only, bat he should constantiy dwell in thesecret places of the Most High. and ever be found with the spirit of God fully shed abroad in bis heart. He could not expect to enjoy the full fruition of God's romises ff h's religion only consisted in attend- ¢ church, and the various means of grace at stated times, and his devotion was only periodi- cal. but bis heart should ever remain true to his maker as the needle is to the pole, and his affec- tions immovably centered in Christ. Grace Church, (Episcopal )—Rev. Mr. Hol- mead, the rector, preac! from Acts27 20 This chapter, describing the perils of Paul’s vo toward’ Rome, the preacher thought should re- ceive the attention of our law-makers now. The striking similarity between the dangerous position of the vessel in which Paul sailed, and our own ship of State, was noted. But bow different the conduct of the crews in some respects. In the case of the one, they, in their anxiety to lighten the ship, threw overboard their provisions and even the vessel's tackling The crew of our ship are not willing to throw over their smallest ejudices to enable her to ride out storm. Phere were secessionists on board Paul's ship, who wished to leave it, but Paul said ‘‘except these abide in the ship ye cannot besaved.” They were needed to belp work the vessel. In con- clusion the preacher expressed the fervent trust that terrible as was the storm our own noble ship of State would yet ride into the port of safet bearing ail ker crew and wearing the stars an stripes Wesley Chapel.—Rev. Mr. McCauley, pastor, preached in the morning service a sermon upon the subject of Happiness slone to be found in the likeness of God, from the text of Psalms, 17.15. At night from the text of Ist Timothy, 6 12. Methodist Church South —Rev. J. A. Proctor preached upon the relation of God to man, from Matthew, 6th, part of 9th verse.

They area part of company A, engineers? corps, and are under command of Lieut. Jas. A. Duane and Lt. Weitzel. On their arrival at the Department, they marched immediately to the Columbian Ar- mory, where they are quartered, Preparations were made on Friday and Saturday for their re- ception there. A cook-house was erected ontside the Armory, mess-tables built in the urtillery room, (lower floor of the armory,) and stoves put up inthe third story, which is their dormitory. In a couple of hours after their arrival they were 2s much at home in the Columbian Armory as though they had always lived there. Their bunks were prepared, arms and accoutrements stowed neatly away, and the men in fatigue dress were lounging about, chatting, smoking thelr pipes, conversing with visiters, &c. They are mostly young men, and have created a favorable im- ression by their military bearing and courteous lemeanor. There are twelve hundred stand of arms belonging to the Government in the Colum- bian Armory, besides four pieces of field ordnance and other military stores of considerable value. The im; ince of having them duly guarded in these filibustering times is apparent. A company of flying artillery from West Point, peg seventy-eight men, have been orde: here, are expected to arrive by to-morrow morning. They erecommanded by Capt. Griffin, who is a thorough going officer. A squad of ma- tines, fifteen in number, arrived here last night, and proceeded to headquarters at once.

This animal Mr. Mayo thinks, or rather thought, a model of meekness, and has been in the habit of showing him off to the boys of the neighborhood as something uncommon in the way of gentleness and sweetness of disposition. The boys aforesaid, while they admired Mr. Mayo’s skill in managing the affectionate quadruped, re- mained skeptical about his disposition. Qn Sat- urda; last Mr. Mayo brought ont his steed again for the purpose of showing the boys how lamb- like he was. ‘He ain’t cross, bless you,’ says Mayo; “he won't bite)? ete.,'etc., at the same time whisking his hand under the ‘-hosses”’ inouth ina pempieg manner. The horse laid his ears back on his neck and neighed—the master thought paren, the boys thought viciously. ‘Kindest ere ion {n the world,’? says Mayo, again whisking his band familiarly under the animals nose, when, snap—end Mr. Mayo’ nd. was be- tween the teeth of the animal, and Mr. Mayo was roaring like a bull with pain. ‘Take bim off! take him off!” roared he to the boys, but the boys thought it prudent not stir a pez.’ Finally the beast permitted his master to withdraw h band, or rather what was left of it, for he had severed te entire thuinb and first finger, almost as neatly as if it had been utated by a surgeon. BRUTAL Asa —Yesterday afternoon, a young man was walking up Ninth street in the vicinity of M, when he met three negroes, arm in arm. ‘They occupied so much of the pavement that he was compelled to step into the street to et by them.

When the Chair announced unfinished business as next in order— Mr. Stake said that before proceeding he would state that we were without an acting Mayor. and it would be necessary to notify Mr. Crawford and ar = ampere a t. Tenney asked what the jeman pro- dto do? The court, if be oceania: formed, had not decided that Mr. Crawford was Mayor, but only that Mr. Addison bad not re- ceived a majority of re votes. He(Mr C ) was Mayor by virtue of holding over from 1857, and there was no need to swear him in. He had been sworn in. He (Mr. Tenney) would recog- nize him as Mayor to-morrow Mr. Fearson said it was customa: the Mayor before both boards. comply with the forms. Mr. Hill said this debate was not in order. If there wes no unfinished business, let us take up the business from the Board of Aldermen. He did not know why the papers did not go on the President's desk Mr. Stake read the law relating to installation of the Mayor, and said the time having expired for which Mr.C_ took the oath as Mayor, it was necessary to swear him inagain. “it would give me great gratification,’’ said he, ‘‘to see that yen- tleman here among us; but not as I saw him nearly two years ogo It is the highest position to which we can elect a citizen, and it is proper he should take the oath ina solemn manner be- foe tale body.” a Mr. Tenney restated his ‘ition, and appealed to Mr. Dunlop to know Whether he had stated the decision of the court correctly. Mr. ssegotd could not undertake to speak of the official action of the court, but the decision as he understood it was, thaf Mr. Addison had not received a majority of votes. This action was rather hasty, and we had better wait for some official notice from Mr Addison or from the Clerk. Mr. Hill said we knew nothing of the case offi- cially. and ought to proceed with the regular order of business. Mr. Tenney asked the President if there were net communieations on his desk signed H. Addi- son, Mayor? The President (Mr. Pickrell) said there was, and we could not act on mere rumor here. Mr. Fearson was at court when the writ was issued. He had not seen it served, but understood it had been, and that the ex-Mayor had moved from the Mayor’s office, and took his private property off. The office was vacant and ready for a new tenant, and he would take the responsibili- ty of moving that the Chair appoint a committee ie wait on Mr. Crawford and desire his presence ere Mr. King thought we had better take the ad- vice of the Corporation Attorney. He had advised iton both occasions of swearing in befor®, but was not regarded. Mr. Teaney was glad his friend (Mr. Fearson) used the term ex-Mayor. Mr. Addison was ex- Mayor contrary to the will of the people, and, in his opinion, in opposition to justice. He was also glad he had said private property, and not public property. Mr. Fearson accused no one of stealing. Mr.Tenney had not charged any one with steal- ing, but with taking away the property of the Corporation. We were not the Corporation. It would require a joint resolution. Aldermen must act with us oI Mr Stake said, no course we could take here would be more inconsistent than that of our illus- trious predecessors, who, while the matter was !n court, swore in one of the parties a first, second. and be believed a third time. ~““Phey aid their duty to their friend,” said he; “let us do our duty to our friend. Let us pay him the respect due to him. There is nota man here but is fully satis- fied the office is vacated, and it is our duty to swear Mr. Crawford in, notwithatandiay bis holding over. If the board do not wish to act to- night, however, I will yield ” Mr. Tenney.—I wish to ask the gentleman if he honestly believes that R. R. Crawford received a majority of votes at the last election? Mr. Stake —I do.
