d truculent displays which they made in various public places before leaving that city, such as kneeling on the ground and swearing that each of them would take off the head of a Southern rebel.
Every one remembers how that clerical ruffian, Rev. Dr. Tyng, suggested the pious idea that their consecration of themselves to their country might be the means of procuring their eternal salvation.

We can't imagine anything that would so soon cause a stampede, even from the regions of the blest, as the appearance of Billy Wilson's Zouaves at the gate of Heaven, unless it were that of Dr. Tyng himself.
A clerical monster.
--The Rev. Dr. Tyng, of New York, and the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of Brooklyn, must look to their laurels.
We had given them the credit of bearing off the palm of malevolence and diabolism, but they are completely thrown in the shade by the Rev. R. J. Breckinridge, of Kentucky.
Never, from any devilish Divine, nor depraved newspaper, not even the New York Tribune, have we seen a demand for the blood of women and children! Hear the wretch.
In a late sermon he says:
"I have never believed in the doctrine of Purgatory, and have all my life fought against it; among other reasons, I have declared that in the whole grand sweep of God's moral government, I could find no place to locate it; and, if a place could be found, I saw no necessity for it, with the full provisions for redemption made in the Redeemer Christ.
But if there ever was a time when such a place was needed, it is now, for a man occupying the stand point which I do, the conclusion forces it

Send all the negroes out of the country — leave additional room for white men. We had a glimpse of this identical cat three or four years ago, in this manner; A church, not fifty miles from Alexandria, was without a Rector, and it was deemed expedient to get a student from the Seminary to come on alternate Sundays, and read the service.
A friend recommended a young gentleman from St. George's, N. Y.--a protege of Dr. Tyng.
He came, and won all hearts by his zeal, fresh from the Union prayer meetings.
He ignored the slavery question altogether, till his last visit, just before his ordination and departure for the North, when parting gifts had been presented, &c.
He then expressed abolition sentiments; a person near took the Bible from the stand and requested him to look at certain passages.
He exclaimed, with vehemence, "No, no I'll not enter into a Bible argument with you Let the negroes go to Africa
ligionists of the North, and of all the bloody-minded brigands of this war they have shown the least of the spirit and principles of Christianity.
We have had in our own possession a letter envelope of one of those associations, in which the Southern President is represented as hanging from a gallows, guarded by a squad of blackguard Zouaves, and a letter breathing a ferocity and vengeance which had their inspirations in any source but the merciful and forgiving genius of Christianity.
Rev. Dr. Tyng's address in which he declared that the thieves and cut throats of Wilson's regiment might have their souls saved by their bloody raid into the South, and Dr. Breckinridge's savage war-whoop for the blood of women and children were fine illustrations of Mr. Seward's "Christian people."
The "humanity" is about on a par with the "Christianity" of the North.
We wonder that even Seward himself did not blush to attribute to his countrymen such a characteristic.

To Mr. Dean--I never knew Mr. Kennedy before; I introduced myself to him; I carried a letter of introduction to Mr. Draper stating my business; it was a letter from Dr. Tyng, whose politics and character were, I suppose, of the right stamp.
Mr. Barlow.--Madam, ministers at the North never have any politics [Laughter.]
Mrs. Elliott.--Except Dr. Tyng.
[Laughter.]
Mr. Bowen, (smiling.)--What are his polDr. Tyng.
[Laughter.]
Mr. Bowen, (smiling.)--What are his politics?
Mrs. Elliott.--Proper, of course.
[Renewed laughter.]
To Mr. Bowen.--[Testimony continued.]--I do not recollect that Mr. Kennedy alluded to the War Department or the Police Department; he simply said he was waiting orders from "the Department;" I inferred that to mean the Police Department.
Q.--Was there anything offensive in Mr. Kennedy's demeanor?
Did he treat you with discourtesy?
Did he insult you? A.--No, sir; he did not insult me at all; I felt very much frightened

A meeting of political Parsons in New York — a Fizzle.
A meeting of clergymen to adopt an address in favor of Lincoln's New Year's proclamation was held at the Cooper Institute last week.
Cheever, Tyng, and their aiders and abettors, were on hand, numbering about seventy.
The New York Express gives the following account of the manner in which the proceedings fizzled out:
Dr. Tyng said he would not take any part in the proceedings except alDr. Tyng said he would not take any part in the proceedings except all who were not clergymen were excluded.
He saw some ladies present, and he liked them in their proper places, but he thought they should not be present there.
[Some eight or ten ladies, who were thus made the target for the glances of all the clergy, then left the room — apparently indignant at their unceremonious exclusion.]
A minister, who refused his name, desired to know if the meeting was one of Protestant or Catholic clergy , and the Chairman replied that all clergymen were mean
Dr. Tyng.

Dr. Tyng is a Caucasian, but he is emotional, and is therefore an exception to the general rule.
He is consequently entitled to rank with the African.
We do not mean Dr. Tyng is a Caucasian, but he is emotional, and is therefore an exception to the general rule.
He is consequently entitled to rank with the African.
We do not mean to argue the learned doctor's proposition.
The "emotional" is no doubt a very good thing.
The sensational, which seems to be his reverence's idea of the emotional, is also popular in certain pulpits and presses.
Even granting his mysterious propostellectual, it does not follow that the most demonstrative are the most emotional.
The deepest waters are the stillest. Dr. Tyng and other African temperaments may be more boisterous in their exhibitions of feeling than the Caucasian race, but the o
