Interesting lecture.

--A lecture was delivered last Thursday evening at the Second Baptist Church, (Dr. Secley's,) by John Randolph Tucker, Esq, before the Young Men's Christian Association of this city. The subject of this lecture — the duty of the Church to sustain the Government in the present war — was handled with marked ability, and was received by the large and intelligent audience with the deepest interest. There were portions of this lecture — distinguished throughout for its powerful logic — which were characterized by an eloquence and pathos rarely surpassed. We trust that this able vindication of the cause of the South may soon be published and widely disseminated among the Christians throughout the world.
