EVENING STAJRPOLITICS IH RELIGION.

This is the title of a sermon preachedon Thanksgiving day in Philadelphia, bythe Rev. Charles Wadsworth, of thePresbyterian Church, sent us by Jo-?Shillington, who has it for sale. It is a

bold and eloquent address, denouncingthe growing practice of making the pul¬pit a political rostrum, yet asserting theduty of government to protect societvfrom immorality, and to exhibit in itsown conduct an example of virtue. Mr.Wadsworth handles irony as dexterouslyas he does eloquence ; evidently fears no

man, but speaks what he thinks truth;and is altogether of a character rarelyseen in- the pulpit now-a-days, thoughthe world would be all the better if suchmen were more common. We make thefollowing extract:

" I need not tell you that it has cometo pass in these latter days, that thesestanding-piaces of God's messengers to aruined world, become ofltimes the mereplatforms for political harangues. Thesealtars of our God, where the brokenheart is demanded as a sacrifice to Jeho¬vah, becomes cfttimes only " <-eats ofcustom," where the worldly tribute isrendered to Ca?sar. The precepts of theDivine law thundered from Sinai; thepromises of the Gospel issued in thedeath-cry from Calvary ; alas ! they areall set aside and forgotten, that these Iambassadors of God may discourse poli-1tical declamations upon moot-joints that Idivide our grent political parties. Eitherbecause these men fiud the duties ol Itheir sacred profession so light and their Iconsequent leisure so abundant; or be-1cause they regard the care of souls sotrivial a concern in comparison with the Igeneral cn'ightenment of society on these Ipolitical questions; or, it may be, be-1cause they regard themselves as men of Isuch prodigious powers and special in-1spiration, as to make it their extraordin-1ary call to leave to their humbler and Iless gifted brethren the care of the ark in Ithe fields of Bethshemish, while theylstrive about the golden mice with thellords of the Philistines. I <

u Certain we are that for some reason, jinto their religion, such as it is, they 11carry some of the veriest abominations Iof ruffian and radical politics. Their Ipulpits become platforms, where all ques-|tions of practical morals are discussed 11as side issues with some aim of the dem- <igogues. The cross of Christ is taken ]iown from its high place, as the crown-1 <

ino glory of the sanctuary-, and in it61itead.as an engine of reform.is lifted 11the ballot box ; and the popular pas-1,nons are lashed into storm, that with|<iheir suffrages as freemen they may car-11¦y a Maine law or defeat a Nebraska |frill. And with this advocacy and pat- (-onage in the Church's high 'places, it Ilas, not marvelously, come to pass that I-he edification of the audiences should ,

fre after their kind. Certain we are at Ieast of the fact, that many a Christian S

man looks to-day to the foulest machine-11ry of partizan politics as au undent Iauxiliary in a reformation of morals. 11Temperance, moral reform, religious edu-1,nation, universal brotherhood, indeed all Ithings that are true, and pure, and love-1ly. and of good report, are.to speak Itechnically.by a specics of moral lo^-1rolling, linked as twin issues with the I'.oulest aims of ruffian demagogues seek-1 *

ing preferment and place. Nay, verilv, -

ilas ! these heavenly moral virtues, that c

is white robed angels on radiant wing* 1should be all unsoiled by dust and soar-1sing sweetly in God's sunshine, are har-1 ^aessed side by side with bank charters (ind tariff provisions, to drag the chariot3 some unprincipled placeman into hon- 1sr and power.'J 11

There have been taken from the rollsof the army pensioners daring the yearending June 30. 1854, by death, 043; bytransfer to the Treasury Department asunclaimed #83. Of the navy pensioner*for the year ending September 30, 1*f»4,24 are reported dead, and 38 transferrerto the Treasury Department as unclaim¬ed pensioners. Of those transferred tothe Treasury Department, but very feware again restored to the rolls.Whole number of pensions on the roll,

This report goes conclusively to sub¬stantiate what we have repeatedly takenoccasion to write within the past yearconcerning the manner in which Mr.Commissioner Waldo has managed theaffairs entrusted to him. On enteringoffice his bureau was more behindhandwith their business, we tak6 it, than anyother branch of any Department in Wash¬ington. Already all its affairs have beenbrought up to date, and so promptly andlucidly do they deal with the people atlarge as to have done away almost en¬tirely with the necessity for the servicesof an "agent'' in transacting any busi¬ness whatever with the Pension bureau.

ABSTBACT OF BEFOBT OF THE REGIS-TEB OF THE TBEA6UKY.

From this report, accompanying thereport of the Secretary of the Treasuryou the finances, we learn that there hasbeen a very great increase in the currentbusiness of the office, which could nothave been discharged by the force as¬signed but for the utmost diligence andindustry on the part of the clerical forceof the office, and, to some extent, a newand more economical distribution of thelabor.many of the clerks continuing atth*ir desks a part of the year from tento fifteen hours of the day.The Register states the number of war¬

rants issued to cover moneys pa d intothe Treasury, on accounts of receiptsfrom customs, lands, and miscellaneoussources, during the years 1834,1844. and1854, to have been as follows :In 1834 765 warrants

1844 ......... 876 *'

1854 2,217The number having been increased

aearly 3<J0 per cent, from 1844 to 1854,jach of these warrants being entered noless than five times in the various booksof his office.There has also been a great increase in

the number of warrants issued for ex¬penditures under the head of civil, mis¬cellaneous, foreign intercourse, and pubic debt, as follows :

[n 1834 2,564 warrants.1844 3,3141854 9,519 "

Each of these warrants being copied inull and afterwards entered in the variousippropriation ledgers, journals, and regia-,ers of the office.It appears from the report that the

lumber of personal accounts opened onhe books of his office, wereJ* 1834 526 warrants.

1844 5861854 ........ 2,475 "

The personal accounts of the Interiordepartment (Pension and Indian,) War,S'avy, and Post Office being kept by thesecond, Third, Fourth, and Sixth Audit->rs; all the other personal accounts, eut-jracing the accounts settled in the Firstind Fifth Auditors' offices, and GeneralLand Office, are kept in the Register'sOffice.The first part of the Report on Com-

nerce and Navigation, required by theict of February 10, 1820, was trans-nitted to the Secretary on the 14th ul¬timo, an earlier date than any report hasbeen transmitted since the passage of theaw ; the clerks engaged on that branch)f business being entitled to great credit[or their untiring industry in having itprepared, the work being much heavierthan at any former period.When the fact that the alerical force

in the Register's office has been increasedby the addition of only one clerk, in fact,during the past year, is considered, theearly period at which these statisticstiave been compiled, compared with3ther years, indicates great industry andincreased efficiency in this branch of theTreasury Department. Although not sogenerally understood, thi Register's of¬fice is one of the most important bureausbelonging to the Government, as in itand by it the whole business operationsof the Government, commercial andfinancial, are kept.Mob Law..In the town of Tuska-

gee, Alabama, lately, a Col. Benj. W.Walker was sent to jail for refusing toobey an order of the Court directing himto pay over $17,000, which he held astrustee of an estate. At the next ses¬sion of the same Court, some ofhis friendsbroke open the jail, took him out andcarried him into Court, where he de¬manded a rehearing. The Chancellorrefused it, and after several fights hadtaken place in Court, Walker went backto jail. A few days afterward, Col. Rey¬nolds, commander of a regiment, mus¬tered his men, and marched to the jail,accompanied by a cannon, and carryingbanners, inscribed44 Walker,' and " Ala¬bama will protect her citiaens." Theybroke open the jail, took Walker out,and bore him off in triumph on a plat¬form, after he had made a speech declar¬ing his determination to conform to thewill of his friends. A clergyman alsomade a speech encouraging the riot.Walker was then borne to his own house,where a hundred men remained on

guard with him. The sheriff, with hisposse, followed thither, but at the latestaccounts had done nothing.
