4 NEW YORK HERALD.

D., preached one “SH8 wtay, ot four cente ver | the annual sermoa before the Church Missionary Union of the General Theological Seminary last evening, ia St. Peter's church, corner of Twen- tieth street and Ninth avenue, a fashionable audience being present on the occasion. He took his text from the secon@ chapter and eighteenth verse of the prophet Isaiah—‘‘The idols ye shall utterly abolish.” The preacher built up a very interesting theological discourse on this text, and argued that idolatry was one of the greatest crimes, and could beget no true sense of religion. There were nine hundred mil- lions of idolators on the earth, living and dying in that wretched state. Was there no balm in Gilead for this? Civilization, national reform, philosophy or science could not reach idolatry. It was the Gospel that could accomplish the work. In concluding his discourse the reverend genile_ man addressed a few words of advice to the young men composing the association, reminding them of the responsibilities which rested on them in being candidates for the ministry. After the discourse @ collection was taken up to enable the association to carry out its objects. A Norwegian vessel has arrived at quarantine, Quebec, with the ship fever among its emigrant passengers. Forty-five had died on the passage and thirty were sent to the hospital. There has been a considerable falling off in the exports of breadstuffs from this port to Europe during the past week, only 698,179 bushels of grain and 31,333 barrels of flour having been shipped during that period. ‘The stock market waa dull and inactive on Saturday, without change in prices. The street was full all day of exciting rumors, none of whieh proved trae, Exchange closed at 11734 a 118; gold sold at 10634 in the morning; later in the day transactions were effected at 106%. The supply of gold from the public continues large, and will probably increass. The export of the day was $2,346,090. ‘The cotton market was firmer on Saturday, and closed with @ tendency tonigher pricos, The sales embraced about 2,500 bales, parton speculation, on the basis of 82e. for middling uplands. The medium and low grades of State end Western brands of flour exhibited more activity and rather more atiffuess in prices. The higher grades were also in fair request, and prices were sustained. Wheat was easior and leas active, move- ments being somewhat checked by the firmness in freights. The demand was chiefly for export. Corn was lower by 1c. a 134¢. per bushel, with fair activity at the con mn. Now Western mixed sold at 50¢., and old do. at Sle. @ 52c., im storo and delivered. Pork was easier, while the market waz tolerably active, closing at $10 80a $10 873¢ for mess, and at $9 62,08 $9 75 for prime. Lard/was active and prices steady. Sugars were firm,and some huiders withdrew from the market, while the sales ombraced about 900 hhds. Re. fined sugars’ were unsettled; mostof the refincrs aro selling at prices to be fixed. Colfec was steady and quiet. Freights firmer. Flour to Liverpool was taken at 3s., and wheat at 10%d.aild., the latter gure in ship's bags. Afterwards 10%¢4. in Dulk was refused, and 11d. demanded.

THE SITUATION. ‘The latest news from the army in front of Rich- mond reports that everything was remarkably quiet yesterday—something new for a Sunday's operations. On Saturday brisk skirmishing was going on, and it appeared exceedingly likely towards nightfall that a general engagement was imminent. During the day the rebels kept up a continuous shower of shells on our lines, but did little damage. The object appeared to he to force our troops into a fight, but the attempt was not successful, doubtless for good reasons on the part of Genera! McClellan. 3 An important change has been made in the Medical Sta’ of the Army of the Potomac by the sppointment of Surgeon Litterman, a skillfal physician, as Medical Director of General Mc- Clellan's army. We are compelled to admit that heretofore the medical department of the army has not been as effective as was desirable. We hope that under the new direction our poor fel- lows ewllering from wounds and sickness will feel the blessings of prompt and careful attention. The Richmond papers of Saturday published a despatch from Montgomery, Alabama, dated the 17th inet., stating that General Beauregard and his staif had arrived there on his way to Richmond, and that a large portion of the army of the Misis- sippi was to follow him, leaving a considerable force behind under General Bragg. Whether Gen- eral Beauregard will arrive at Richmond in time to effect anything for the cause of rebeldom remains to be seen. Genera! Schofield has taken stringent measures to repress the guerillas in Missouri, as we learn by ®@ despatch from St. Locis. He has issued au order holding the rebel sympathizers in that State responsible in their property and persons for all Gamage done to citizens by marauding parties. He announces that $5,000 will be exacted for every Union soldier, or loyal citizen killed, and from $1, to $5,000 for every one of either class wounded by any guerilla party. The full vaiue of all the Property destroye? will be cascased and collected from the secessionists residing in the locality where the outrage may bo committed. This mea- sure will, no doubt put 2 stop to guerillar warfare. Oar news from New O:leans to-day will be read with great interest. General Butler is managing things there with the greatest firmness and dis- erection. Not only is he putting down with o Strong hand ali revel sympathizers, but he is shel- tering the loyal citizens from outrage and annoy- ance. While at one moment he sends obnoxious rebels to Fort Jackson to work at bard labor, at the same thue he condemns some of his own troops to be hung for pillaging the houses of the citizens. Thus the Uxign sentiment, under such Management, naturally grows stronger and stronger, and we are’ not aurprised to see Union Meetings getting up in al! quarters of the city of New Orleans. So far has Gea. Butler won upon the feei- Inga of the people by hie generous and just course that he was serenaded atthe &t. Charles Hetel on the 4th inst., and made speech in response, io which he declared tiat his fectings towards the South were friendly and fraternal; but that ot the fome time he was resolved, os a matter of duty inexorably imposed cpor him, to carry out the laws of the United Ginter undor all ciroumstances. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The mail steamor North Ster, Commander A. G. Jones, arrived at this port yostorday fromAspinwall. The New Tariff Bill Before Congress—Its Revolutionary Effects in Europe. _ A new protective} and almost probibitory Tariff bill has just been introduced into Con- gress. We hope it will pass. Ite schedule of duties is from ten to one hundred per cent higher than that of the Morrill tariff, the passage of which was considered equivalent to an ex- clusion of all foreign importations. Still we hope it will pass. Its effect will be to deprive Europe of the American market, a result more disastrous to England and France than a thousand blockades of cotton ports. We hope it will pass. We have had a revolution infiaauce and in commerce, and it is quite time that we hada revolution in manufactures. We hope this new Tariff bill, our latest declara- tion of our independence of Hurope, will soon become a law. If our civil war has taught us npthing else it has revealed to us our own resources, our own strength, our own importauce and our own power. We have received no foreign ajd of any kind in our efforts to crash out a rebellion of such gigantic proportions that it outrivals any interuational war in history. We needed men, and we obtained them frum our teem- ing popuiat.on, sud employed no bireling sol- diery—as Fngland has employed the Hessians and Franco the Swise—to assist our forces. We needed arms, and have manufactured them for ourselyee, or purchased them for cash at a fair market priee, since Europe has supplied arms gratuitously only to the rebels. We needed ships-of-war, and we have bnilt thea, jeaving England to present her vessels to the Confederate tfaitors. We needed money, and we were our own bankera,siace the money marts of England and Franee were closed agaiust us in advauce, aud open only to the bankrupt rebellion. Our only regret is that we ever asked the English people for sympathy, or that Congress ever thought of appealiag to the Eing- lish bankers for funds. We did not know our own resources then; but we understand our- selves better now. We havo !carued the great tesson of self-reliance during this war. Is Ku- rope so unwise as to suppose that we shall un- learn this hard lesson, and relapse into our former dependent ignorance when thé war is over’ If, with all the hard necessities and trying times of need which this war has brouglt"upou ua, we have boea able to sustain ourselves, it would be the extremest folly for us to ask Bhe brings $512,161 iv ryecie.

Origin pf the Bad Pooltng tm the South Against the North. Tt has puzzitd many a wise hoad to account for the appareniiy deap and bitter enmity of the Southern mind in general against the people inhabiting the rogions north of Mason and Dixon’s line. The bad feoling alluded to dates back {a its origin to the time of the famous John Randolph, of Roanoke, as he dolighted to be called, Ho was a man who, if nota good lover, was certainly « great hater—extending his passion for hating almost to the whole race of mankind, including even friends as well as foes, if he can be said to have had many, if any, of the former, except his devoted Juba. Randolph was a man of siagular and extraor- dinary genius, exercising no little power over the miads of the men of his age, more, itis to be believed, by the fear which his great powers of sarcasm and repartee inspired than from any of those great and commanding qualities of heart and mind which produce respect and admiration. He was a man who, if not like Shakspeare’s Yorick, capable of setting a table in 4 roar, was possessed of auch inflnite powers of reproach and farcasm that he was well able to inspire contempt and excite ridicule against any section or people whom he chose to attack. Educated asan sristocrat, proud of his ancient and royal descent—claiming @ princess, no less than tho celebrated Pocahontas, as one of his progenitora—he looked down with in- finite contempt upon ell whom he con- sidered his inferiors in birth and sta- tion. Born, as i were, a feudal lord, accustomed from: early life to command and dictate, he could not brook association with those whose claims to distinction rested upon the foundation of individual merit, and who, even if their fortunes were equal with his own, owed thom to individual or commercial talents rather than to aristocratic birth and rank. All these his antecedents, made him— we may almost say naturally—an enomy to Northern men; and he possessed powers of wit, reproach and bitter invective capable of com- municating his own feelings to the classes and people among whom ho associated, and in whose eyes he was a being of superior order. He it was who first set in motion the practice of invelghing against the commercial North: in fact he despised us as much a3 an English no- bleman despises the peasant that works upon his estate, and as much as the French noblesse of the anclent regime despised the ignoble tradesman or merchant, It is said of him that, having been appointed chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, through the influence of President Jefferson, the ignorance which he betrayed in that high position, of all financial and commercial subjects, was such as, if-not to disgust all the other members of the committee, at least to disgust him with his fellow committeemen, So great indeed was his vanity and self-conceit that we may well imagine that, by himself, his own ignorance was viewed_as @ superiority, and their superior knowledge and ability in everything re- lating to finance and commerce was looked upon by him as something low, degrading and Inferior. At all events, his connection with the business men of the North had no tendency to beget in him an ad- miration for business or a love for those whose pride and glory consisted in business talents. From the influence of such a man as Randolph it is easy to conceive how his neighborhood, and even his State, was easily led to suppose that vituperation of the North waa an essential censtituent of patriotism, and that @ supreme coniempt of the greater portion of a great people constituted absolute superiority. This grent but erratic genius, having first sown the seeds, did not live long enough to witness the rapid growth of the crop and its baneful har- vest. John C. Calhoun followed closely in the wake which John Randolph had opened in the masses of the South. With a deliberate pur- pose of separation and secession, he availed himeelf of the most powerful means of dividing a people, which unqnestionabiy are the in- dustrions dissomination of hatred by the in- dalgonce of incessant vituperation, crimination and reproach. The tariff was at first the great machine employed to give imaginary sw to the numerous grievances which th was represented as suffering from the North. Mr. MeDutfiie, a vivlef$ man and an unserupn- lous genoralizer, joining hand in haud with Mr. Calho@. actually succeeded in pérsuading the people that they were robbed by the North of a whole bale of cotton iu every four bales, by the action of tho taritf. Thus the evil spirit of malignint hatred began to spread and take root, until it became a mater of faith among the leading men of the South that they were robbed, plundered, abused and shamefully” ill-treated by the North. When once the mind of any public is brought to such a pitch, and worked up by such delusious to jealousy and hatred, a people may be said to be like a maga zine of powder, whieh only wants the torch and the frebrand to be thrown ito it to produce « universal explosion. Abolitionism finally presented and tndus- trionaly applicd this firebrand, and at once kindled into « flame these inflammable wa- terials. The hot fanaticism with which the emissarios of abolition preached against the South sueveeded in giving, a9 & were, aubstance and reality t@ cause of dislike and jealousy purely imaginary and political We say political, for there can be no doabt that the system of inflamiog the Southern mind against the Northern sectiou of the country was in a great measure adopted by the popalar lenders ag @ pulitieal means of riding into power. We need not expatiate upon tis sub- iget: how the torch of abolitionisiu kintiod the South ioto o flame, bow that flame spread far and wide, how it made two peaple of those who had beon one, ave known everybody and ean he disputed by none. So great, however, wes the exasperation of tho Southern mind proviuced by this latter cause, operating as it did upon excitable minds already roused to fear, jealousy and hatred by interested politicians, that, oven if this war had not como om when it did, it must have come on at some time or other. It was but a question of time. Lot us hope that its results will open the eyes of the South, and convinee them, not only that we ave not so contemptible as they were taught to believe, but that they also ave not so immensely supe- rior as they wereded to imagine. Let us hope that the delusions and divisions between prethren of the samo nation, color and blood will be dissipated by this war, and that. the people of,the South, seeing to what a condition their flatterers and deceivers have reduced -fmangurates revolution in manufactures which will result in impoverishing Europe and enriching ourselves, Just before our civil war began we imported over three hundred mil- lions of dollars worth of goods from Europ® every year in prosperous times. The war has re- duced the amount of our importations nearly one-half, and peace and a prohibitory tariff will reduce it still more. This tremendous sum, then, which we formerly paid to Europe we sball put into our own pockets, The balance of trade will always be against Curope. We send her grain and breadstuffs, which she must have or starve. She sends us nothing—as this war has demonstrated—which wo cannot do without or manufacture for ourselves. Nothing can be clearer or simpler than this problem. Europe loses and we gain—that is the sum of the mat- ter. But we gain more than money; fora pro- hibitory tariff is a bond of reunion and @ guarantee of the integrity of our country. So long as cotton grows in the South, and is ex- clusively manufactured in the North, the two sections will be inseparable. England natu- rally sympathized with the South, and the South naturally looked to England for sympa- thy, because one supplied the raw material which the other manufactured ; and the North, seemingly dependent upon both, was snubbed by both. New we propose te transfer Eng- land’s share of this partnership to ourselves, and with it will come an inalienable union and @ more entire isolation from foreign alliances, Let the English and French manufacturers, then, prepare to remove to this country, bring- ing their workmen and their machinery along with them. The sufferings at Rouen and Lyons, at Bolton and Manchester, will never be re. lieved until the sufferers emigrate here, and thus escape both the blockade and the tarift’s pro- hibition by manufacturing their goods upon our ownsoil, With the raw material and the manufacturers in the same country, we shall not only be independent of all the rest of the world, but we shall supply all the world with goods. Thus, while the new tariff will cripple and weaken Europe, it will reunite, eririch and strengthen us. What, then, can prevent its im- mediate passage? Will any sympathy for England and France? We have none remain- ing. Will any fearof England and France? We never felt sucha fear while we were weak, and shall not begin to tremble now that we are strong. Tup Bayxrcrt Brt.—tIt is reported that an effort will be made in Congress to-day to bring up fhe Bankrupt bjll for consideration. We sin- cerely hope and trust that this rumor will prove trne, and that it will not only be con- sidered, but so pushed forward as to make its final pussage in both houses a cortainty before the Ist of July. Next to the tax and tariff measures this is the most important of any before Congress. lf is a measure demanded by the public at large; but for this very reason we have had but’ little hope that the pre- sent visionary end theoretical Congress woul passit. If they would spend one-half the time over this much needed measure that they do over their foolish inquiries why this or that building is not used for a hospital, or why such and such a general permits « negro boy to ride on his qgissons, the public would be willing to accord to them a desire to advance the interest of the country. ; Thousands of business men have become in- solvent since the commencement of this re- bellion, not because they were unwise as mer- chants, or that they lived too fast, but simply for the reason that sudden political convul- sions closed former thaonels of trade and prevented the collection of large sums already due them in one section of the country. Their distress extended to other branches of com- merce, until at! were more or less affected, and every city and town throughout the loyal North was brought more or 4ess under this de- pression. All this has left thousands of mer- chants, energetic, honest and loyal, with their hands tled, who to day stand ‘looking to Con- gress for some measure of relief that will @nable them to participate in the general re- vival of trade now going on, and to enrich themselves and the teas of thousands around them who have heretofore looked to them for employment, as well as aid in‘ the general prosperity of the country. There is no reason why these men should longer stand with shackles upon them. A wise and beneficent bankrupt law is asked for by all classes, the creditor as well as the debtor. The universal voice of the people calls for a law of this kind; and now let Congress see that they do not ask in vain, or they may find indignant constituencies to greet then: on their return home. Lirorranr Crancr rm THe Meoican Srarr or vue Army or tus Porouac.—By tho letter of instructions from the Surgeon (ieneral’s office, published elsewhere? it will be seen that Sur- geon Tripler, heretofore the Medical Director or Suargeon-in-Caief of General McUlellan's army, is relieved from duty, and Surgeon Let terman—one of the recent appointments under the bill lately passed reorganizing the Medical Department—is assigned to the supreme medi- eal control of the graud army. The tone of the letter shows that the new Surgeon-in-Chiof is in earnest, and fully approciates the evor- mous responsibilities of his‘position and of those of his subordinates. Dr. Letterman is well known to his profession and in the army as quiet and determined in character, and fully competent for the post to which he is assiened. Tt will be a source of comfort to thousands whiose velatives are in arms on the Peninsula to know that intelligence and energy are pre- siding over the welfare of the sick and wounded, Gesvait Beren’s Paoceroives mw New Or. Luana.—It will be seen, frdim another interest- ing letter from our cgrrespondent In New Orleans, that General Bhtler continues to ad- minister the business of that’ department with the utmost energy and tect. Jt matters not whether he is called upon to deal with re‘rac- tory rebels, spies, foreign consuls, banke or marauders in his own forces, he takes hold of them with great boldness, ond baodles them in @ way that must convinee all these clasees that at least he means what he says, and will stand no fooling. Jn the letter will be found the correspondence that General Butler has had with the foreign consuls relative to the detention of sugar and the oath required of foreign residents, which will not fail to be of interest. There is also a full account of his action in reference to the punishment of marauders, and ihe conditions | that he places upon the retain of Southern soldiers to the city.
