Oinoinnati Presbytery.—This body held an An
timony animated and interesting meeting on Tuesday
in the Eighth Presbyterian Church. The subjects that
elicited most discussion were Education, Home Mis•
ohms, and Ministers' Libraries.
As tLitome Missions, the Presbytery felt that
there w a sad want of progress in Southern Ohio,
and that the zeal of our ministers and the liberality
of our churches should be far beyond what it is or has
been for years. The action fi nally taken was con
servative and advisory, leaving the matter, however,
with a pretty large discretion,ln the hands of an
excellent Committee, Bra. Thompson and Allen,
and Rev. G. M. Maxwell.
Rev. Joseph Chester was received from the Pres
bytery of Scioto, and Rev. David Gould, Stated Sup
ply of the First Church in li f ipley, from the Marietta
Congregational Conference. Rev. C. E.,Babb was
dismissed to the Preshytery of Hamilton, in the
bounds of which, at College Hill, he lives and
preaohes.
Thh church at Jamestown, Kentucky, on the river,
opposite the seventeenth ward of the city, was re
ceived under the care of Presbytery. Mr. Stanley,
of the Senior class, Lane Seminary, is supplying it
at present. ,
The West End Mission Church, through its elder,
L. IL Sargent, applied to be taken under •the care of
Presbytery. The Application being granted, Mr. Sar
gent presented the call of the church for the miniete
terial services of Rev. Jos. Chester. The Presbytery
placed the call in the hands of Mr:Chester, and he
having signified his acceptance of the same, Drs. M.
L. P. Thompson, George E. Day, and B. P. Ayledott
and Rev. C. E. Babb were appointed a,committeo to
install him pastor over the. Church.

Swift, the `man who* built tha first , cabin here, in
1790, came, as many of his tiesiopiiites did; from the
Wyoming Valley, in"Penniyhittriii,Whither their fa
thers had emigrated from' Conrietticut, and where
they in their seclusion had hultithted the genuine
Puritan principles and character, till their peace was
disturbed, and their community broken' up, by that,
horrid massacre, whose sad rehearsal in prose and
poetry has made Wyoming a household word in this
and other lands. A part of the survivors here fixed
their future abode. He, SWift, " gaVO the lands for
the first grave-yard, the first school-hOnie,' and first
church in the village." Another company; equally .
Puritanic in their convictions: and Hies, embarked
with their families in sail-boat on Long Island
Sound, passed,along the. Sound up the Hadsoan, and,
through various Smaller streams, until they . disem
barked from Mill Creek, at the site of their wilder %
nese hoina, having accomplished a journay cif about
five hundred miles in twenty-eight days, making.only
two portages, one less thatia mile, the other sixteen
miles in length.. Theirs was a voyage more worthy.
to be heralded than the expeditionof Jason of old.
They found and left for the inheritance;of their chil
dren a richer than 'golden fleece.' The school and
church received their early attention ; they trained
up their children in the way they,r&hpuld.
they have not departed from it. 'Grain flourished in
their fields, and virtues.in their hearts; neither har

now the lord Cf the manor rides forth in a triumphal
chariot, and the standing fields bow to hiM. It was
a hard day's work with the flail and fan to separate
eight bushels of wheat from the straw and chaff; but
like the "new threshing instrument" seen by. Isaiah
they now in a single day can "thresh a mountain"

Eaton, from - whose thanksgiving sermon the above

immediate vicinity: an unusual amount of wealth
and talent are represented in it. The`early baptism
of children has been very faithfully'observed. They

New School Views at East Windsor Seminary.
—Á correspondent of the 'Boston Oongregationaist'
asserted in the columns of that paper, June 22, that
at the examination of the last, graduating class in
that Institution, New School vies of Theology were
pretty generally expressed by the candidates. This
assertion having been denied, another correspondent
who was present at the examination, comes forward,
in it repent number of the 'Congregationalist, and
corroborates the first statement.
Ile adds:
In more than one parish, where the students then
licensed have preached during the present vacation,
different hearers have stated voluntarily that they
preached New School Theology. It is understood,
at East Windsor Ail), by those who hear the discus
sions of the students among themselves from day
to day, that the members of the Seteinaryiat the pre
sent time, are mostly New School men.

Laymen: n various parts of the land Are, eoutz
plaining that many of the clergy do not preach' the
simple Gospel of Jesus Clirist, and those who have
formerly been acquainted with the *eiching of Unl
tarianiin the east, say -often that there' is a wonder
fel resemblance between the spirit of the preaching
of many of the clergy of our church and that to which
they were formerly accustomed, While yet there is a
difference; and they declare that .both the resem-'
blance and the difference are to be expressed in this
manner, viz.: One of the classes of preachers refir
ed to present a morality without a Christ, and the
ether a church without a Christ. Thus', too, both
classes make religion mainly a matter of taste, and
not a matter of serious earnestness between the soul
and God: In this matter, no person accustomed to
the preaching of Unitarians can fail to see a singular
resemblance—a resemblance which goes to show a
lack of evidence of true conversion 'of the soul to
Christ, and a lank of true apostolical earnestness and
zeal.
"Those laymen of our church who have been ac
customed to preaching, mainly addressed to the taste
of the hearers; when thrown into congregations where
the• Gospel 'is preached' with more simplicity and
earnestness, and directness to the conscience, are apt
to complain that the ministers, preaching in this man
ner, preach like Presbyteriani, and not like Church
,
men. "
Char& for Deaf Mutes.—The Churchman says:
We have received another appeal from St. Ann's
Church for Deaf Mutes. No words of ours are ne
cessary to show the importance of the work whichis
being performed by this Church, which presents the
means of grace to an unfortun ate class of persons,
who cannot be.reaohed through any of the ordinary
ehanneli. The Church is still in debt, in the sum of
$43,500.
The. Eastern Diocese .of New York has been in
session in the metropolis. Mr. John Jay brought
forward a series of reisolutiona, in favor of asking the
Provisional I3ishop to address a Pastoral Letter to
the people of the Diocese in reference to the African
slave trade, as now carried on at this port, in viola
tion of the statutes of the Republic,.Of the teachings
of the Morel, of the rights of man;•and of the laws
of tlod. Also, that the clergy be respectfully recom
mended, from time to time, to preach in their respec-
tive parishes against the wickedness of the slave
trade, as now prosecuted from within this Diocese;
and that the laity be urged to exert their influence
to stay the further prosecution of the traffic. .The
Resolutions were laid on the table by' a nearly una
nimous vote.
LUTHERAN
The Melanethon• Synod.—This Synod, which
was formed by the withdrawal of a number of con
gregatiope from the Maryland Synod,in order to or
ganize a new Synod in Western Maryland, is fore
most among the Synods of the Lutheran Church for
its decidedly "evangelical" attitude. There waa
some difficulty at the late General Synod concerning
its admission into full connection with the latter
body, as it has no fixed geographical bounds.
A Right Spirit.—The most 'remarkable instance
of mitsionary activity in Germany is in the parish of
Hermannsburg, in the Kingdom of Hanover, of which
the zealous Harms is pastor. They have a number
of missionaries in the foreign field, have a ship of
their own to take others there and keep up a corre
spondence with thetn. During. the last year they
raised 34,000 thalers, nearly $24,000. It is said that
Harms does not ask for gifts, but only gives thanks.
A Lutheran paper adds to this:—" The Missionary
Society atHermannsburg, is butane of the six or eight
foreign missionary societies, through which our breth
ren in Germany work for the ,heathen world. And
yet, though it is mainly the undertaking of an hum
ble village pastor, the annual revenue of this Society,
is threw times. the amount raised for the propagation
of the, gospel among the heathen, by all the churches
connected with our General Synod in this Country!"
The Nineteenth Annual convention, of the
Evangelical Lutheran Synod of East Pennsylvania,
commenced its sessions in Sunbury, Sept. 22d. The
attendance, both of clerical and lay members, was
unusually, large. This ; Synod is largely increasing
in numerical strength, and promises soon to rank
among the largest Lutheran Synbds in this country.
Twelve ministers from «ther : Synods were received
into the body atthis Bess on. Almost every minister
was accompanied with a ay delegate.

A Capital Inventionlnvention.—Wegrat i fied,
says the ' United States Gazettef by an examination
of a newly invented hoisting nachine," recently pa
tented by our respected fellow litizen, Mr. Joseph L.
Dutton, who resides at No. 122 Union Street. It is
remarkable for simplicity and tt e perfection and pre
l
cision of its working, while for ouses and stores, all
are of opinion that the dimwit is invaluable. .It is
constructed on the principle of ;:iielf-acting balance,
and any weight placed in it 13filances itself; and if
one or more persons sit therein).they can hoist them
selves to any height, and leaf° their seats at any
point; and no further motion of the machine will
take place. So with landingla weight of boxes or
other goods the machine remins suspended at the
place of landing, Whereas,*by t enld system, an ad
justment of the ropes, often ailiificult task, was re
quire& - •
Perfect. safety is, obtained • by this invention, and
the ropes, instead of rolling frotn one and almost to
the other end of a cylinder, winds round exactly in
the centre—a very desirable improvement for raising
or lowering in a hatchway. An }ngemous contrivance
attached to the machine, enablas parties interested to
weigh boxes and bales with exactness. This inven
tion is peculiarly adapted for grain elevators, or for
.warphousing in upper steirisiskai,•eOffee, or cotton,
while as ii, dumb waiter, on a-smaller scale, its pe
culiarities are invaluable. We predict complete suc-
cess for this 'excellent contrivance of Mr. Dutton, and
we are pleased to learn that already several of the
patent hoisting machines have', been ordered for dif
ferent cities of the United Stnies. 'lts usewill pro
bably become general. ':. -
The. Late Murder in the 'me elm% Ward.—
A STRONG-CASE OF-,CIRCUMST * ANTIAL EVIDENC . A.—The
investigation before the coroner's jury, in the case Of
Robert Crairford, who wienittdirid on'Frlday eve
ning, 21st inst., in the: Niligattitli Ward, has deve
loped some strong eireurristantial evidence to convict
the young man—Armatropg—TnOW in custody,on sus-:
picion of being _concerned int the:homicide; but, at
the same time, there are other circumstances which
are calculated to create a strong doubt as to his being
a participant in it. '
The accused _ hired a Germantown waganat Yan7
sciver's livery stable on the night of the murder and,
as he alleges, drove dovin. to the lower part of the
city, where he met a man andAvarnitn, whom be did
not know, who requested him to let them ride in Ids
wagon. They had with them, he says, a number of
chickens, some of them dead, which - nceounts for the
blood found in the wagon afnktrAwaareturned to the
livet:y stable.
The blood has been tested `by a skilful physician;
-who declares that it is not that of a' chicken, but of
a man, or a dog, horse, 4to.
No feathers were found in the wagon. The man
and woman, according to Armstwng's story, got out
on North Broad Street. Who they are not yet been
discovered. Armstrong was, the yol#g man who

Another fact transpired on Friday, which also bears
against the prisoner :—lt was noticed that he bad on
a pair of new boots. He was asked where he bought
them, and what kind of money he paid for them. He
told the officers where he purchased the boots, and
said he gave the storekeeper a five•dollar Kensington
bank note in payment. The officers waited upon the
storekeeper, who stated that Armstrong had bought
the boots from him on Saturday last, the day after
the murder. , But he was positive that Armstrong
gave him a five dollar gold piece in payment, and not
a laank note. When told that he should be very cer
tain as to this fact; he declared that he was positive
the money paid him was a $5 gold piece.
The money in pbssession of the deceased oulhe
night be was muidered was all in gold.
In his defence its may be.stated that the ostler at
the livery stable is positive *lathe wagon he hired
was returned to the stable a quarter before 10 o ; elock
on the evening in question, as he made remark to
Armstrong, when he brought the wagon in, that. he
was back earlier than , he expected-him, Armstrong,
having promised to return' it 'at ten o'clock. The
murder was committed just about this time, or, at
least; the body of Crawford wks found still warm on
the pavement, near Norris Squire, at a quarter 010
o'clock, or precisely the same time when Armstrong:
returned the wagon to the livery stable, a considera
ble distance from the scene of.the mUrder. This . fact
would seem to establish an alibi in the case of the
prisoner. What, variation - .there, may have been in
the watches or clocks at,the different places, or whe

as to the exact time, kis difficult, to,conjecture.

Lady Elgin Disaster.—The coroner's jury imthe

They draw, from the evidence before them, the pre
cise conclusion expressed in these columns a few days
ago, together with new conclusions from later evi
deuce. They find, in the negligence of the schooner's.
men, and the defective system of lights, the main
causes of the, disaster. They condemn also the lack
of water-tight compartments in the Lady Elgin, and
the overloading which crowded her decks and saloons.
Two of the jury censure more severely the marine in
spectors for tolerating, and the steamer's 'oivners for
supplying so few and such poor boats and life-pre
servers.

Sehator . Seward said in his recent speech at St
Paul:
"The power of this government hereafter is net to
beotablished on either the Atlantic or, the. Pacific ,
coast. •The seaports will be the mouths by which
weehall communicate and:correspond with Europe;
but the power that shall speak and shall communi
cate and express the will of men on this Continent, is
to be located in the Mississippi valleV,..and at the'
sources of the Mississipp,i and the St. Lawrence..
(Loud applause.) In other days, studying what might,'
perhaps, have seemed to. others trifling or visionary,'
I , hive cast about for the future, the ultiMate, central,
seat of 'power of the North American people. I had
looked at Quebec and at. New Orleans, at Washington,
and.atßan-Prancisco, at Cincinnati and at St. Louis,
and it, had been the result of my best conjecture, that
the seat of power for North America would yet` be
found in the valley of Mexico, that the glories of the.
Aztec 'capital would be renewed, and.that -city would
become ultimately the chpital.of the United States'of
America. -But I have corrected that view, and I now
believe that the ultimate,' last seat, of power'on this
great:continent will be feund somewhere within a ra
dius not very far from the very spot where I stand,
at the head of navigation on the Mississippi river
Revelations of the 00nauS.—The returns of the
census marshals in some of the inland districts of
South Carolina,. ,reveal a curious state -of affairs,
touching the disproportion of the white to the slave
population. For instance, in the Georgetown dis
trict the number of free white persons is stated at
842, while the number of slaves and free'negr' oes is
988. The free white peisons of another, and con
tiguous district, is set down at 1,950; the colored po
pulation, in the same district is 12,694—the whites
forming only about one-sixth of the number.colored;
upward of 12,000 of whom are•slaves.

25,000 Sardinian troops entered Umbria on tbe 11th,
and on the 12th 25;00 more Sardinian troops at
tacked and took Pesaro, taking prisoners 1200 Ger
mans who were in the fortress. General Bella, who
commanded the Pope's troops, had ordered a sack of
the town and was taken prisoner to Turin. The
German garrison of Orvieto had capitulated to the in

A. Paris telegraph to the London Post, ' dated
Wednesday;night, says; the Piedmontese &rues are
marching rapidly on Lamoricime's army, and an en

Eniperor and the French government have used every
exertion to prevent an invasion of the Roman States.
The . relations of France and Piedmont are critical.
Therrench AMbaseader, at Turin, has been 'recalled,

The Sardinian troops had disembarked-at Naples,
by the rNaest of Garibaldi, who had trhaisferred the

which was continued through , all the - streets. The

were taken, inclUding Gen.-Schmidt. The Sardinian
loss is insignificant.
The ministry which Garibaldi has constituted, is a
liberal but moderate. one, and contains none.of the
elements of Mazziniam, andr:ono of his first acts was
to' break up a committee Whichiwas acting, as was

KURTZ'S TEST-BOOK OF CHURCH
HISTORY.
LINDSAY & BLAKISTON, Philadelphia, have now ready a
TEXT-ROOK OF CHURCH HISTORY, for Students. Translated
from the Herman of John Henry Kurt; D. D., Professor of Theology
at Dorpat, author of"A Maoual of Sacred History"—"A History of
the Old Covenant"—" The Bible and Astronomy." etc.
Volume One to the Reformation now ready. Price One Mar and
Fifty Cents.
Volume Two to the Present Time preparing. "
The present edition of the Text Book of Church History le—to
some extent—a reprint of the, Edinburgh Translation. But as that
translation, avowedly, tainpered with the original work, care has
been taken in this edition to make the rendering conform strictly
to the eel hor's sense.
It is proper to add ,that whilst the Edinburgh translation was
made from the third edition of the original work, the edition now
otTered to the public contains all the improesmeots of the fourth
edition of the original—whickwas published within the last three
months. -
The merits of this work, which the reader will please notice is
the author's Text-pooh of Church History, are so obvious, that they
need notbepeinted out in detail. It combines lucid conciseness
With a full comprehensiveness, to a rare degree.: And although it
cannocof course, supply the plane of same larger works on the sub
ject, already Issued, it will tend to 'satisfy* great want In this de
partment of literature.
