A fr ?cn <l has lutnishod us \viih n New Or

I livered on Sunday, thc fin instant, by Kev. C.
K, Mufshall, 1). 1)., in that city. The preacher
gave out aa Ins inutile: The Design of Provi
dence in the Events through which the South
had just passed," and thou launched into one of
those " political discourses," of which om
Northern Domucrals have such II horror-when:
inven by one of the opposite vr?ty of thinking.
The sermon is a curiosity, and wo wish we had
space to lay it nt length bfforo our renders. A
summary of itu points must sufliccJ They
were
1. That thc cause of tile South was just.
'2. 'Thai slavery, for w hich they; fought, was
beneficent.
3. "That tho rai li and file of the [nhcl army
deserved all pruise. end to be ?heldin everlast
ing remembrance.
?t. That while it pleased Providence to over
throw their peculiar institution, anil defeat
their oniiv, yet 1'iovidvncc h.m cow pens?t od
them hy developing the material re-sources of
tho South-.
i. That the Somborn people oro to.miihittiih
a distinct and.sectional existence.
G. That Ibu Irish,'mid all other nationalities,
nm invited to tho South, hut nu pine? should
he given to Northern people.
T. That the people of tito South, hy the adop
tion of a new policy, shall yet bs the conquer
ors, and shall see the time wheo .. th.' spielet
will weave her weh on the spindle!) of Lundi,
mid thc owl sit amidst its desolations; ami
when a (htmanche from the West shall Mt on
tlie Minindi of Hunker Hill and sketch lin
ruins ot Huston."
The speaker fittingly closed with it eulogy on
Andre Johnson, ile styled him the greatest
President since Washington, who had iii vol
oped a character os unexpected mid ns illustri
ous as Louis Napoleon himself. ?>*.'Nttpolcon in
Europe," snit! he, "und Johnson in X nt erica
the t wo greatest men of the age." The rebels
who made up thia congregation canto down
with thundering applause at this passage. Tin
unexpected character that Johnson lins devel
oped has endeared him beyond even ibo Buller
-ing martyr ut Fortress Monroe.
