The Cuurch of the Strangers, in Mercer Gtreet, near Eighth sireet, is a standing rebuke to those ministers and congregations who are only too ready and anxious to sell out their church edifices to some brewer, stable keeper or gambler, and hie themselves away mp town, where they expect to secure the support of the wealthy and fashionable. ‘When, a couple of years ago, a Presbyterian congregation vacated the Mercer street church, the great Railroad King, at the in- stance of the Rev. Dr. Dens, purchased the building and site and handed it over to be used, as it had been for many years, as a temple of divine worship. The wisdom of this action, and the necessity for such a church in such a place, has been too apparent ever sincs in the large Congregations that gather there every Sabbath Gay to need any further demonstration. Dr. Charlies F. Deems is well known here and elsewhere as one of the most popular preach- ers tn the Church in this land. He can hardly be said at present to belong to any Christian denomination. His views are too broad and liberal to be confined within sec- farian garments. He is, however, virtually and practically a Methodist. Before the separation of this body, in 1844, into tho Northern and Southera churches Dr. Deéms ‘belonged to the united Church. But he joined his fortunes to the South, and still holds a quasi connection with that branch of American Methodism, and his Churca of the Strangers is really, though not ostensibly, a church for Southern Methodists and others who may be sojourning in New York. With the practi- oability for which the Doctor is known he has organized a Society of Sisters of the Stranger, whose object is to look after the wants of poor and needy strangers, of whom our city has always a fair supply. Asa preacher Dr. Deems is by many considered the superior of the most popular Evangelical ministers in this city or vicinity, and an enterprising publisher has undertaken, at his own risk, to reproduce the Doctor's weekly sermons in pamphlet form for general reading, and, we believe, is so far satisfied with his success. The Doctor and bis church are doing a noble work in their way, and among a class heretofore greatly neglected. Ritualism in the Protestant Episcopal Church has no more zealous advocate than the Rev. Thomas McK. Brown, rector of the Church of St, Mary the Virgin, in Forty-fifth street, between Broadway and Eighth avenue. The church and grounds are the gift of Wm. B. Astor. It is in an unfinished state yet, but the polishing touches will be laid on by aud by. Recently it received a magnificent mar- ble altar, the gift of a wealthy parishioner, a memorial to his deceased wite. The neigh- borhood is admirably adapted for the location, of an Episcopal church, and Mr. Brown, who has graduated in St. Albans, is very well fitted for his work here. What he lacks as a preacher he makes up as a pastor, and his congregations are constantly increasing. He is a remarkably laborious pastor, and no doubt in a few years, with the influx of population to that vicinity, he will reap the fullest benefit of his patient toil. The church celebrated its anniversary one Sabbath last month, when very large audiences were pre- sent. There are usually seven services on the Lord’s Day and four on the week days. The worshippers on those days are, however, ‘comparatively few and far between. ! The Rev. James Smyth, pastor of the Con- gregational church in Fifiieth street, between Broadway and Eighth avenue, isa young and comparatively unknown clergyman in this city, He is an Englishman and a bachelor, and is but temporarily visiting this country, though occupying one of our city pulpits, In England Mr, Smyth is an {ndependent, and being an earnest and practical temperance ad- vooate he is sent off by his denomination on lecturing tours, And in this capacity he has visited the British North American provinces three times, and each time he has found his way to the United States and been welcomed by his American ministerial brethren. He had charge of a Methodist church and congregation in the New Jersey Conference for several months previous to March last, when he received and accepted a call to his present charge. He has labored here under great disadvantages, but with con- siderable success, and he seems to be very well adapted for this kind of mission work— gathering together new churches or building up and strengthening old ones. His sincerity of purpose, plainness of speech and directness in the pulpit, together with his easy manners, draw around him hosts of friends wherever he goes, and endear him to the homes and hearts of his parishioners, Should his present euter- prise to build up a Congregational church where before there was none prove a suc- cess, it is probable that Mr. Smyth will remain here permanently. Should he do so he will be a valuable acquisition to our city pulpits. Homesrgavs ror D1scnarcrp So.prers AND Sattors.—Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, has introduced into the Senate a bill to enable honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, their widows and orphan children, to acquire homesteads on the public lands of the United States, It provides that every private soldier and officer, and every seaman, marine and officer, who bas served in the navy of the United States or in the marine corps during the rebellion for ninety days, and who was honorably discharged and has remained loyal to the government. shall. on compliance with NEW YUKK HEKALD, MUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 1872—TKIPLE SHEET. the provisions of an act entitled, ‘An act to secure homesteads to actual settlers on the public domain,” &c., be entitled to one hun- dred and sixty acrés of the public lands. This does not include mineral lands; but the bill as it stands wiil require a pretty large slice from ‘‘Uncle Sam's farm” to satisfy the demands upon it authorized to be made under its provisions. However, the ‘boys in blue” are deserving of every recognition of gratitude at the hands of the nation. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Public Lands. Dr. Petermann’s New Polar Expedition—Au Important Suggestion to the American Whaling Fleet. We published, on the 22d of December last, a letter of Dr. Augustus Petermann, the cele- brated German geographer, giving the plan which he is now endeavoring to carry out in a new North Polar’expedition. His purpose is announced to be as follows:—‘‘To steam right along the Gulf Stream past the northernmost Cape 8f Asia and the New Siberian Islands to Behring Strait, and thence to San Fran- cisco,” This plan of the greatest of living Arctic geographers is based upon the recent discov- eries by the Austrian explorers, verifying the long-cherished and ably-advocated views of several American physicists and of Dr. Peter- mann himself, It isa singular historical co- incidence that the conclusion, now forced upon a mind so philosophic and so thoroughly intuitive as Dr. Petermann’s, is precisely that which was reached by Sebastian Cabot and earnesily urged in the sixteenth century as the most accessible pathway through the frozen ocean, and probably the most unob- structed ‘‘gateway” to the North Pole, Cabot fondly dreamed that along this route he might find a safe and short ship-lane for tho fleets and argosies of his royal master on their way to China and the East Indies, and save them the long and stormy passage around the southern cape of Africa, the Cabo Tormentoso. But the German geographer has in view a difforent object, and is not left to mere con- jecture regarding that great expanse of ocean which washes the northern shores of Asia and receives the immense drainage of millions of square miles of Arctic Asiatic territory. To say nothing of the recent labors of science and hydrography, such as those of our own hydrographers—Silas Bent, Wyman and others of Dr. Petermann’s way of thinking—we have an immense mass of very recently ob- tained and accurate information, which, by its cumulative and circumstantial evidence, proves that an enormous sea or ocean of tropical water rolls its warming floods in the very path Dr. Petermann now proposes to explore, . It was in this very region, between Nova Zembla and Spitzbergen and to the northeast- ward, that the Dutch, about 1660, found such enormous shoals of whales, and where their whaling fleets, numbering many hundreds of ships, enriched themselves with the most profitable cargoes. Science now points to this as the most promising .ground in the world for whale fisberies. There can be very little doubt that the American whalers will do well next year to follow up this splendid suggestion of Petermann, and, instead of going to the northwest of Behring Strait,.where the great disaster last year overtook the whaling fleet, to press forward into the very region now indicated. The Hydrographic Office at Washington, under the able and energetic management of Captain R. H. Wyman, has just completed and published a magnificent chart of the Arctic Ocean, which conveys all the latest and most reliable information of these seas, and gives the seaman in search of whales the most trustworthy and invaluable information. This chart appears just in time to meet the sugzes- tion we have made, and it will also be of the utmost service to any future explorer of the Arctic Ocean. The sea of ice northwest of Behring Strait is landlocked and cannot float its ice islands and immense icebergs to the south through Behring Strait, because that strait is gorged with the Kuro Siwo, the warm Gulf Stream of the Pacific moving northward. But in the region now marked out for exploration by Dr. Petermann the ice has abundance of sea- room, and the avenues of warm water streaks between its fields are broadly indicated. Dr. Peterman®, in the letter to his Ameri- can friend, Professor Thompson. B. Maury, speaks of a possibility of his coming to this country. He may be sure of receiving the heartiest welcome from the ‘‘go-abead” people of America, who are deeply interested in him and his great geographical labors and discov- eries, Our government, through Captain Wyman and his able coadjutor, Mr. E. R. Knorr, the accomplished hydrographer of the Hydrographic Bureau, have wisely done Dr. Petermann the honor and itself the service of translating and publishing the great work of the German geographer, entitled ‘‘The Eastern and Northera Extensions of the Gulf Stream.” Our rich capitalists in the East could well afford to furnish Dr. Petermann all the money and men and ships he needs for his explora- tion {a the great marine nursery of the right whale of commerce, in which they are #0 pro- foundly and permanently interested. With Petermann’s knowledge and Wyman’s Arctic charts to guide the whaler the prospect of a splendid harvest of whales in the Northern Seas could not be better.

Bautimore, Jan, 28, 1872, The steamer Hornet still lies off the government barge office, at the fooc ot Henderson’s Wharf, awaiting the arrival of the United States frigate Congress, which parted company with ber on the first night out from Port au Prince and has not since been heard from. All day littie groups of people have lined the wharves and docks and peered out at this notable and mysterious cra{t ag she lay motionless in the stream, with scarcely & sign of life visible about her, making remarks as to her build and checkered career and surmising what was to become of her when the Congress came, while other parties, fortunate enough to secure small boats, put out toward her, inspected her all around, but were admonished not to attempt to board her by a large sign at the head of the the gangway, upon whica was in rude letters “No Admittance,” This sign seemed to add to the curi- osity of the crowd, and furnished inem an inex- haustivle 1und for conjecture in relation to the invist- ble part of the seemingly lifeless steamer. At about two o’clock, whea the wondering apec- tators were gathered in considerable numvers, the HERALD writer appeared upon the scene and made a signal to the Hornet, which was an enigma to the gaping crowd, Ina moment two heads were visi- ble at the gangway, and the next instant two Cu- bans came down the steps, entered @ small boat and pulled away wwards where stood. The boat touched the wharf, a few words were saia, inaudt- ble to the crowd, and I stepped in and in a moment was passing over the side of THR MYSTERIOUS-LOOKING VESSEL, while those on shore looked on in bewudermént, As L stepped on deck a tall, fine-looking man, with a keen, upstless eye and a quick, nervous air—a per- fect type of an American sailor—stepped forward, introduced himself as Mr. Pennell, the first officer, and said—"1 am glad to see you—Captain Brown told me of your coming~-will you step into the cabin?” and he starvea tolead the way. As i turned w follow I ran my eye over the deck; tor there was an air about the surroundings that made me feel ill at ease, and not a soul could I see but a hallciad negro, who, upon spying me, dogged into some obscure place. I entered the cabtn, which ts well back in the stern, and there found two Cubans, who were introduced to me as the doctor and paymaster of the steamer. They at first regarded me with 4 half suspicious stare, out asi remained they became more at ease and conversed with me freely, They had been with the Hornet from is departure from New York, in De- comber, 1870, and had shared her successes and mis- fortunes ever since. They, like nearly all on board, were patriouc Cubans, serving upon the vessel without pay. They told many stories in relation to the action of the Spanish men-ol-war while they were blockaded; how they would demand her sur. render and how they were persistently refusea; how Spanish armed launches would run alongside at nighy and hail them as {riends, asking when they were going to leave and if they might come aboard and see them; how kind the Haytien authorities were to them and how the arrival of new Spanish ships would create an excitement and belief that they were going to take her by force, ‘They also told me of their preparations TO DESTROY THE VESSEL in the event of their trying to take her; that several times they were all ready to cut her pipes and kindle fires to burn out her woodwork and sink her, ana that they were determined never to let the Spaniards get hold of ner. Alter conversing with them a wnile, during which they were exceedingly non-committal as to What they were going to ao and as to how much they had done, 1 left the cabin for @ survey of the ship, with Mr, Pennell for my guide. The first place entered was the ward rvom, in which dinner ‘was spread, and around which were gathered some eight or ten Cuban and Haytien officers of the ship,- who looked upon me with a startled expression as I entered, and followed me with & suspicious stare until Lle(t, Leaving this room, the engine room was visited, in which is the most powertul and complete brace of engines in any steamer of her size nowatioat, being fully 1,000 horse power, 76 inch cylinder, 6 feet 3 inch stroke, They were built by Jonn Stewart, of London, at « cost of $35,000, and are a Most perfect piece of workmanstup. Upon several portions of the iron frame the Cuban star is painted, while im one corner of tne engine room is @ neatly executed small Cuban flag. From the engine room to the crew’s quarters in the forward part was the next journey, Here 1 found stowed in a hole the crew—and such a crew! Every nattun- ality was represented in THE MOTLEY THRONG that clustered, half naked, around a litle stove, in which was a sickly fire, Hardiy one of these could speak English, and many of them had never been in any other save @ tropical climate and suffered terribly from the chiiling breezes of this latituae. As Lentered witi the mate they seemed frightened, and stared at me uneasily as we looked around, and seemed much relieved when we turned to go Alter this I inspected = tthe deck from stem to stern, and then returned to the cabin, where were the two Cubans first spoken of. The Hornet ts 261 feet in length, 28 foot bean, 14 foot hold and 800 tons burden. She has side skeleton wheels with iron paddies. Sne is the fastest steamer in American waters, sailing easily ten knots an hour with only ten pounds of steam, which 1s Increased to seventeen knots when she carries forty-five pounds, the highest amount allowed her. She was built on the Thames by Thomas Ash & Co, in 1864, and was @ successful blockade runner for a time under the name of Lady Sterling. She was capwred by the government and used at the Wasnington Navy Yard fora ume as a pleasure boat, but sold to private parties, who changed her name to Hornet, and refitted her out ag A CUBAN PRIVATEER with a neat and effective armament of seven rifled Parrots. In October, 1869, @ little time after, she ‘was captured by the United States authorities at Wumington, N. ©., held for a time and finally re- leased, when she is again found upon the waters, after changing her character to@ merchantman, upon some mysterious errand.

Then she leaves for Port au Prince, where she arrives on December lito take coal, and leaves for Aspinwall, where, itis said, she took aload of arms and ammunition for the Cuban patriots, and -successiully janded them at Punta Bravo on January 10, 1871. She is again at Portau Prince without cargo, where she 1s beset with Spanish men-of-war clamoring for her de- struction, Then this cratt, whose prow has pierced the waters of almost every nationality under the sun without notoriety, and whose mysterious Incomings ‘and outgoings had been a marvel to ail that knew of them became introduced to the whole country by the diplomatic controversy that foliowed this outrage by the Spanish authorities, After much delay the United States Irigate Congress was despatched from New York January 4 to reiieve her trom boncage in the name of the government, and she left Port au prince January 18, at five o'clock A, M., in company With the Congress, but she out- sailed her and anchored where she now lies ut six o'clock A.

A Wiican’ sing the Politicians. Warmothites Silent and Satisfied—Carterites Busy and Hopeful—The United States Offi- cials and the Late Anarchy. Naw ORLEANS, Jan. 28, 1872. ‘The lobbies of the St. Charles Hotel, headquarters of the Congressional Investigating Committee, have been crowded all day with leaders and adberents of the political factions now disturbing the peace of this community. Judge Scofield has been kept busy receiving visitors who appear anxious to give him aid in his work. The Warmoth men are very quiet, don’t seem to be troubled about the in- vestigation, and have had little to do with the com- mittee. The Carter men and democrats, on the other hand, are very active, ana are full of sugges- tions, The democrats, made up principally of the old rebel element, especially court investigation, They have crowded into the room of Mr, Arcner, che democratic member of the committee, filing his ears with thetr woes and troubles and IMPLORING AIM TO AID THEM. The sessions of the committee will begin to- morrow, either at the City Hall or United States Court Rooms, It has become very evident to the committee since thelr arrival that the troubles are principally, if not wholly, confined to the politt- Cluns, The business men and the citizens proper seem to take no interest in the matter, apparently having uo faith m any party or faction, They see in Waruioth a YOUNG, BOLD AND UNSCRUPULOUS MAN, who has served as their Governor for three years, backed up by a Logislature which, like the Legisla- tures of most of our States, is controlleg vy bad and corrupt men, and as @ consequence their jobs have greatly increased the debe of the State. But as an offset to this they have secured many improvements im the way of new railroads, new leases, &c. In order to keep in power Warmoth has used many harsh, unjust and unconstitutional measures; but then the people don’t see any remedy should a new party come into power. Warmoth 1s backed up by the majority of the republican party of the State, and as his _term as GoOv- ernor expires with the present year he proposes to re-elect himself inthe coming autumn, in Carter the people see a man as bola and as un- scrupulous as Warmoth, in whom they can place no trust. He is an ex-rebel officer, AN ADVENTURER FROM VIRGINIA, as Warmotn is from Illinois, who joined the repub- lican party for place and emolument,and was put in office by his now opponent, Warmotn, by the very syatem of unjust and unconstitutional laws o which he and his party now complain. He was nand and glove with Warmoth unul they quarrelied about the spoils and sway. He has mustered a party whose leaders are composed of men of his own.ilk, who, like himseif, have been disappointed in their ambition for oMice or thelr greed for plun- der, Chief among these 19 United States Marshal Packard, who wants to be Governor, and United States Collector Casey, who was disappointed in not being sent to the United States Senate in place of General West. To get control of the party machinery of the State is the sum total of the quarreis now pending between these leaders of the republican party of Loutsiana. When the fignt reached @ serious point then it was that the demo- cratic or oid rebel element, which, when in power in 1866, made the KILLING OF NEGROES THE CROWNING FEATURE. of their rule, stepped in and joined the Carter fac- tion, as representing the disorganizers of the repub- lcan party. They are with Carter because they feel sure that a defeat of Warmoth will ‘give the State into their control. Their aid is what has made Car- ter strong in numbers. So it is plainly seen that it is the politicians’ quarrel, in which the people gain nothing, no matter how itmay end. The Congres- stonal Committee se this, and the republican mem- bers thereof think their duties will end with merely an investigation as to what point the federal officials took in an interference in the affairs of the State government. The attempt TO CONNECT PRESIDENT GRANT with either faction will surely fail. That some of his officials, however, have abused their trusts 19 beyond doubt, Warmoth so far is master of the situation, and if the investigation proves the federal officiais guilty of the interference charged his prin- cipal opposition in his own party wil be broken, and the fignt will go on between republicans and democrats, as Is the case between parties in all the States of the Union. General Emory and Collector Casey had long interviews with Judge Scofield to-day and to-night. Messrs. Scofield, McCrary and Smith, republican members of the committee, are 11 consultation with Governor Warmoth, A NASHVILLE NEGRO KILLED.

The committee of the House appointed to wait om the Governor in relation to the Constitutional bitt reported yesterday morning that the Governor wat not prepared to communicate nis action, Tho Speaker suggested that no law required the Gov- ernor to report his action, and he objected to the re- port of the spectal committee going on the minutes. APOSTLE TAYLOR DISAGREED with the Speaker, The Legislative Assembly, could take measures for the interests of the peuple} and calla convention. The direct interests of the Governor were mot in harmony with the interests | of the people, as in case the measure succeeded he; would lose his position. Rockwood, ex-Warden of the Penitentiary, wanted immediate action, in the nature of a joint resolution calling upon people to hold an election for delegates to a convention to carry out the bill: The Governor's message VETOING THE BILE ‘Was then received, and its reading listened to with; ill-concealed dissatisfaction, although it was part| of the scheme of” the Legislature to draw out a veto to aid the ery of persecutions he document aug- gests that the organic act of Utah contemplates only such matters as relate to the démestic con- cerns of the Territory, and no power is thereia given to abolish one form of government and adopt another. The power that created alone cam destroy. Without special authority from Congreas the Territorial Legislature has NO RIGHT TO ACT UPON THE SUBJECT of admission. Further, Utah, having less than the required population under the present apportion- ment to entitle her to one Representative tn Con+ gress, he thinks it would be weil to await the plea- sure of the general government. The Governor, tm conclusion, says:—'To bee come @ State In the Union is not a righs, but a privilege. Good judgment wouid, therefore, require that before any convention should be called, Utah should place herself m harmonious relations with the general government. The first and highesc duty of the citizen is obedience to law. All violas tions of the laws of Congress should cease, POLYGAMY SHOULD BE ABANDONED, and laws should be enacted by you in acvord with the laws of Congress upon that subject. Until buat is done the people of Utah cannot expect, nor shoud they ask admission as a State. Religious toleration in the United States is as broad as the wants of humanity; but the government cannot tolerate church dogmas which set ac naught its statutes, It is to be regretted that diferences of optniow shouid arise in matrers of legislauion between the legislative and executive departments. But tt is my duty to interpret the law as [ understand it, and such snail be my course of action.” Apostie Taylor, one of the bitterest enemies of the government and aloud mouthpiece of the Church, criticised the message in most INSULTING AND OFFENSIVE STYLE. fie wanted to know if they were serfs and non- entities. Michigan and California had demanded admission into the Union, aud it had been granted- He argued that Utah had the same rights. He de- nounced the Governor-for his reference to poly- gamy, and asked ‘What laws have they violated, and, if any, why are they ngt punished?” Then ae gave the judiciary A BLOW FOR NOT PROSECUTING THEM. They had perverted Territorial laws, “Is this House to be insultea,’”’ demanded he, “by such. charges a8 are contained in the Governor's mes- sage? No; I (hrow.it back io his face and tell him it is a falsehood.” od A chorus of sympathizing voices cried, “Hear, hear!” He respected the Governor, but threw the charges back at him, The venerable apostle was vindictive and inflammatory in his remarks, and the most pitter against the government were APPROVED BY THE AUDIENCE. Mr. Rockwood hoped there was suiicient of the ‘blood of our fathers of 1776 in their veins to allow them to resent Executive insults, and that they might stand firm and be ready to die for thetr principles. J. W. Young said they asked no odds of the Gov- eraor, and he movea acommittee be appointed, with one from the Council, to draft resolutions calling @ convention of the people to prepare for the admis sion of Utah as a State. Taylor, Rockwood and ‘Young, all true representative Mormons, were ‘ap- pointed, and also instructed to draft resolutions expressing the sense of the House ta regard to the offensive charges of the Governor in his veto mes sage. The animus of the House was exceedingly hostile to the government and {ts Officials, and the Mormon community endorses it. The Gentiles ap- prove the message fully, and jbelieve the admission of the Territory would be disastrous to the general wellare, ‘The question will come up again to-morrow, and hot debate is expected.
