The present juncture especially requires a continuance of tha suspension. , Its effects have been most salutary, and to that lw, in a considerable degree, are we Indebted for the increased efifctency in out military preparations, whicji bard enabled our gallant army,' under the providence of God, t beat back the invading foe which still threatens us.

" THE PHARISEES, " v' " - r F " Mr Editor: I see that youf correspondent of ihe 17th, ithp gix-ea .nn account of the Holden meeting held in the city f Raleigh on the 16th, styles the. taembers of( said meetiris 4 Pharisees:" The name strikes me as mot apropos, for there arc several fctriKing poincs oi resemo Jane between; the ancient Pharisees, mentioned in the Scripturra, and HoN denite Pharisees; v. Thejr:'' consist1 in. th& following 1 st. The a ncient :Pharisecs '" corri r rin.' A separated themcfclvis from the'Jews'uraler pretences of greater 'bolinesj than; '-that possessed by their .brethren. Their name seems . to haT arisen from their act of separation, it being derived from tLe Hebrew i word pharasli: -which means ttnara tnl' ''". Novr, these political "phailiees ot' such recent ori- gin, oavo 5epara:ea,,mem3eive3 -from the true Con serTative party, as Well as ixowi the balance of mar 2d. The ancient Pharisees were full of selfpraise So prominent a trait was this in their character that it was "not subdued even in their addresses and prayers to Almighty God.. "God; I thank thee that I am not as. other men," was the language of a Phar isee. This disposition to self-laudation is prominent with the model political pharises of N.:C. ' . 8d. The ancient Pharisees .'"inade voi-i the law of Cod through their traditions." The modern Phari see make void the Constitution! of the Confederate States through their principles. 1 They are in, favor of North Carolina taking 44 her own affairs in her own hands," in Regard to jnegotiatiojns for; peace, which is contrary to the Constitution of the Confederate States, and in violation1 of the laws of -North Caro lina, since North Carolina has adopted the provisions of the Constitution of the Confederate btates in this matter.! . 4th. The ancient "Pharisees loved, the- praise of men, and. to be called by them ' rabbi." Tne wct?- erns loxe petition and are great office seekers.- 5th. "Hie ancient Pharisees would compass . land and sea'to make ono prosolyte. The moderns IcaVe no mcan3 within theirj power unemployed to make proselytes to their'" caajse. They hold public meet ings when i will suit jthefrpurposes, and harrangue the people by puMic addressevS ; and anoiTthey de cline participating in public meetings to harrangue the people, because they do not wish to call the peo ple trom their a ricultnra:l pursuits at such a time as this? , i ..''':.;" .: '' " Oth... The ancient Pharisees were destitute of love to God. I is greatly to be feared the modern Phari sees are destitute cf love to their country, and that tne ruling passion wnq-ineui is sen-aggranaizement. 7th. Tbe ;ahcient Pharisees, while professing to serve uod, were most effectively-doing ' the work of the devil. If we are allowed to reason back fi cm effect to cause, ayery natural conclusion would force upeii upon u, inai uii: ijkmivi ii.puarisefs arc lenu ing aid and comfort tij the public enemy, since de serters from I our army in immediate view of their execution, have testified that the teachings of the Standard, one , of the organs of the r.oderns,Were. the cause of their desertion; since lories and trai tors have, been found with" copies of. the said jafn-. dard in their possession, when apprehended and ta ken in their 'diabolical works; since yankec papers have copied frouipaid Standard in proof of a friendly disposition towards- them in North Carolina ; and yankee orators have referred to it for the same pur pose ; and since yankee soldiers, while prisoners in our hands, have raised loud cheers for William the gi eat hign priest of the modern phirisees. No.v, it is 'evident, from these facts, that this sect is giving aia ana comiori 10 ine . puonc enemy whether intentional or unintmtional, 13 a separate the point of inquiry. 1 If, question. The Jaet js however, this aid and comfort to the enemy is un intentional, they oughtj to change their policy, and thereby prove to the word their love of couatry and th.8 purity of their intentions. These several points' of resemblance between the ancient pharisees andthe new party, of this State, fully entitle them to the name of their ancient pre decessors. Nor can they object to the title, since their great high .priest appropriated a phtase to designate hitnself, which is used in' the scripture's only in reference to the pharuees, viz : ' straitest sect." See Acts xxvi, 5. ' It may be added, that they have a temple where the high priest ministers regularly, or occasionally, as cireuuiSUnce seem to juirtifjr. Once he was in terrupted in his regular ministrations by the intrus sion of the Gentiles', and had not Zebuloa, the ruler, of the people, interposed in his behalf, the temple itself might have been destroyed with all its:furniture and fixtures. I , They have also a pypagogite,. where daily service is observed. J Here the"! priests 'and .the people meet to impart and receive instruction and to consult: in regard to such measures as are best adapted to pro mote' the interests of the. sect and the glory of the high priest. jThere are several rulers of the synagogue who are in special charge of its secret interests. They have also a scribe who notes down the jprrevt of the sec, and the occurrences, of, the times which may be thought favorable to their, interests. Neither the high priest'nor the scribe, and very few of the priests and rulers ofthe synagogue, were regularly educated for the serviee in which they are engaged, but a singular combustion of circumstances threw them! into their present position. Some are . , , . . , . 1 . .. r 1 1 others .have their fears excited froia the troubles 01 the times. I : . " . ' Thia sect is made up from the different tribes and tongues of those who used to war against each other before, the . dividing of the country discovered by " Vispusiusand the. setting up of different govern raentsj IIoW much soever they formerly differed, either in speech or habits of life, they have now, with common consent, agreed that the country is very badly governed, and have made rapid proficiency in learning a common language, so that they may more easily understand each other ; and. in bringing their habits to a uniformity, so that they may enjoy each other's company. And, although this sect is of very, recent origin, yet they are very anxious to bring the country under their rule, and to this nd they1 are bending all .their. energies But so shallor is their cause, that their own members are continually aban doning it. j When -.Zebulon, the ruler, spoke to. the people, although it was within hearing of the,ir syn . agogue, and almost in sight of. their temple, and at a vime 01 one 01 ineir soimn asseniuiij jrei. w i'uu' was his speech," that many'have abandoned the sect in disgust.! And ho doubt, but the entire sect is doomed to a very short existence : and the most harm which will j arise from them will he unpleasant agi tation ; for .enuion nas ruled with so much equity, and moderation, .and given such general satisfaction, that the different tribes," kindred, tongues, and dialects will rush. to' his support with" a unanimity unparalel led in the history, of the realm. 4 v . ; . !'

The Whig, of yesterday, thus appropriately no tices a remarkable act of unselfishness and patriot ism in an officer holding a jhigh military position": u Gen. Pembfcrton yesterday resigned his commission as Lieutenant General in the Provisional. Armyj. of the Confederate States, and went into active service in the field as Lieutenant Colonel of ArtiJIery; This action on the part of Gen Peraberton exhibits a highly laudable spirit, and goes far tbwarJs sustain ing all that his friends have claimed for him as a'man of patriotism and honor. 7 It is no time now to crti cise the military conduct of unsuccessful GenaraU, who, whatever errors they may have committed, manifest, as in the case of Gert'TembertOn, so mjich ungelfihness at this critical; period of the coohtry's. history. The magnanimous 'people of the Confed eracy will remeoiber, to his i credit 1 is present con duct; nnd those who navertelt: bitterly towards him will be strongly Xnclined'to mitigate their anlniosity iVe bave.no doubt that Gen. Pcmbcrton will "render valuable and erUcient service to the cause ! in the pre sent emergency. -'-Richmond JJispatchl THE MYSTERIOUS, ARRIVAL ' Gamma writes fiom Richmond tci the" Mobile Register : .
