tte Vrtss. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1864. Sir We can take no notice of anonymous oommu• nioations. We do not return related manuscripts. *WI Volnntarsr correspondence is solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from onr, different military and naval departments. When need, it win be paid for. Rate of Mortality in the War. The British Association for the Promo tion of Science, which was established in 1831, holding its first annual meeting at York, under the presidency of Sir DAVID BlowsTicn, assembled at Bath, in the West of England, in September, having Sir sCirenr.ns LYELL, the great geologist, for its chairman. In fact, this voluntary asso ciation of scientific men from all places where Civilization exists, may be con sidered a Parliament of Science. Even the poor and imperfectly instructed derive benefit from this body, abstracts of whose • proceedings and the papers read at them are published, not merely in the literary and scientific journals, but also in the local newspapers, which now, the taxes on know ledge—stamp and advertisement duty and tax upon paper—having been removed; are considerably cheaper than the various im posts and increaaed wages can permit Ame rican journals now to be. We have observed, with satisfaction, that the scientific knowledge of the United States, which is far ahead of all other countries in invention and imProvements, has been well represented at the annual meetings we report. We noticed that, in the department of Chemical Science, Prof. W. B. banns read 'a paper, with expert sments, on the apparatus invented by. Mr. Connßraus,. (of ConxtEratis & BAITER,) of Philadelphia, for lighting gas by an. elec trical apparatus attached to the ordinary burner— an invention which removes dan ger and allows the ill•smelling and wall defacing lucifer-match to be dispensed with. Also, that in the section of &Economic Science and Statistics, there was read a highly interesting and even important pat I per by Mr. E. B. Emaorr, of Washington, "On Military Statistics of Certain Armies," especially of those of the United States. There is an abstract of this paper in " The Reader" of the sth inst., an able literary journal published in London, and not so well known nor properly appreciated here as its Competitor, the anti-American Athe _ izawm. Mr. Emma' called attention to the rates of sickness experienced by the _Danish forces during the late conflict in Schleswig- Holstein ; the rates of sickness, mortality, and other casualties experienced by "the United States Volunteers during the first fifteen months of the existing civil war ; and to certain physiological characteristics of the United States Volunteers, and the laws which govern the distribution of cer tain measurements. It has been said, over and over again, here and in foreign coun tries, that the Civil War in the United States has been more destruttive than the world ever saw before. The statistics care fullylcollected by Mr. ELLIOTT enable us to show, by the contrast of comparison, bow far this is correct. He shpws that the mortality of the United States Volunteers during. the fifteen months, duly, 1861, to August, 1862, inclusive, pas at the annual rate of somewhat over seven (7.2) in every 100 men, of which two (2.0) were from killed in action, and five (5.2) from diseases and accidents. The rate of mortality of officers from disease, as in other wars, has been less than that of the men, but from wounds received in action much greater. The mortality from wounds, both of officers and men, has in general been considerably less than that from disease, although, with regard to officers in the latter part of the period, the reverse has been the case, their mortality from wounds having somewhat exceeded that from disease. The rate of mortality in the existing war (7.2 per cent. per annum), for the period under consideration, although , much greater than that of civilians of the military age, both in Europe and .A.merica, and greater than that of the army, of the - United States in time of-peace, has been less than that of. the United States forces during the, war againat Mexico, und.very considerably less than that of the British forces on the Spanish peninsula (in 1811- 14) and in the Crimea (1854-56); the ave..' rage annual rate in the Spanish peninsula having been Ai per cent., and in the Crimea about 23 per cent., the last-mentioned rate only embracing those dying in hospitals,' and not including deaths en the field of battle. Here, then, we have it that the rate of mortality in the present war is only 7.2 per cent. per annum, while the rate of mor tality in WELLINGTON'S Spanish campaigns (1811-14) was 14 per cent. ; and that in the Crimea, in 1854-55, even not counting those who died on the battle-field, ave.- ,raged 23 per cent. How is this smallerrate of-mortality to be accounted for ? It arises, no doubt; from the organization, - so wisely made and so Morally maintained, which lies raised the Sanitary Commission the Christian Commission to inquire into the best and most systematic means of ascertaining the condition of our soldiers, to supply liberal relief to the suffering, and sustain their drooping spirits by kindneis and sympathy. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE—may her name be eternally honored for what her true heart impelled her to do I—initiated measures, however in adequate, for helping the sick, wounded, and suffering soldiers of England during the war in to Crimea, but a brigade of self-denying women, the veritable angels of life, arose in this country, once that war commenced its ravages, and their numbers have not decreased, nor their labors of hu manity diminished. Mr. ELLIOTT has done well in placing before the world, through Etca. a medium of publicity as the meeting and publication of the British Association, the vital statistics which prove the supe riority of our system to that of England. . General Ilaneock;s New Corps. General HArtcoos, who has received , authority from the War Department to raise another army corps, does not permit impaired health to remove him from prac tical interest in the warVl, which he has borne so brave a part. When restored to vigor, he will re-enter the field with a new column of veterans, having performed only less service ii his abserKe than by his skill and daring in the campaign. The new corps, it is intended, will be composed principallY of veterans; `and number 20,000 infantry, to be_ enlisted 'between this time and the new year, for a term of ser vice ,not less than twelve months. An extra bounty of three hundred dollars will be paid on the muster of the recruit into service, and the officers of the command will be soldiers of at least two years' expe rienced service. - Those who enlist will be credited to theirhome districts, and all who retain their arms to the close of their ser vice will be permitted to keep them as per petual heirrooms. We presume that the new veteran corps will be recruited from all parts of the country, and it is not too much to expect that, with thetreat induce ments held out both to the honor and profit of the soldier, the whole force will be raised by the first of the New Year. General liiericocx is the moat popular corps com mander in the army, and veterans out of service will be satisfied to take the.field with him once more. The personal course of this young and noble leader is that of true gallantry and soldierly devotion ; and the flower of our fighting population should gather to hie standard. Trim London Times expresses a virtuous horror at the thought that the United States have expended so much life. and treasure to put down rebellion. We have no disposi tion to complain because foreign journals deprecate the sacrifice of life with which this war,. like all great wars, has pained our everyday humanity. But why not show at least an equal sympathy of horror at the madness and extravagance with which the rebellion has been waged ? What an atrocity of folly to rebel Public Safety. A correspondent asks : Will Philadel phia wait till her public buildings are fired, before we require the rebels to report at, headquarters, as they have done in New York, after their attempt failed ?" This query is pertinent. We cannot afford to do away with suspicion; and forego ra tional safeguard, after the undoubted evi dence of the plot to burn our cities. In New York, we are informed, there are thirty thousand Southerners; a large part of whom are without apparent means of support. In the absence of vigilance on the part of our authorities, how many are required to make.. incendiarism successful ? The number in Philadelphia may be comparatively few, but is sufficient to be dangerous, especially if reinforced by the thwarted conspiracy of New York, and aided - by any inefficiency on the part of our authorities, in whom should rest the true safeguard against un necessary alarm. Tam London .7leradd, one of the worst tempered of the English journals, has whipped itself into a fury in consequence of the Florida affair. It reverts to the case of the Trent, and calls the United States navy "the common pest of the seas=the enemy of the human race." This is Severe language, but not at all significant.. To one instance of violated neutrality, for which the Union has offered redress, half a dozen - may be mentioned in which Great Britain gave none at all. What new ,virtue possesses the Anglo-rebel papers that our' loyal navy is called a pest,' and nothing whatever is said in blame of the rebel system of piracy ? UNDICit the heading of "A Superb Special Piece cif Business—A Treasury Coon Come • Down," the New York Hertad, rejoices be cause the Treasury Departmentop had paid one of the bills due that Inewspa. ier, at its own prices ; whereupon it runs -on in this superlative vein of self-worship,, "There are, unfortunately, many men In Wash ington, and espeotally In the Depirtments, upon whom logic, and philosophy have no effect. They are too thickheaded to comprehend, and too stupid to understand tho force of our reasoning. Secretary Chase was one of this sort, and we finallyphiloso phized him out of office. Secretary Welles has the same characteristics; but we have not yet been able to argue him out of the Navy Department or into capturing Wilmington. B might be invidious to name others who are equally senseless, and upon whom we have wasted enough logic to satisfy Whately, and enough philosophy to make Bacon rise from his grave and call us blessed." This is too much. Surely, some small scrap of respect should be allowed to pub lic opinion. Merry Andrew, Jack Shep pard, Mark Meddle, Paul Pry, Clown and Pantaloon, Jenkins, and Jefferson Brick may be tolerable for a season, but there should be a pause in the masquerade. Dim replies :of the Secretary of State to Mr. PARKER; the agent of the British friends of the rebellion, are as emphatic - as they are brief. The address of which Mr. PARKER is the bearer is impertinent. It, assumes that the loyal people of the United States are carrying on an unnecessary war, and advises them to make a dishonorable peace. Without arguing the question, Mr. SEWARD has settled it. WASHINGToN. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29,1864. PROCLAMATIONS OF THE PRESIDENT—THR EXTINGUISHMENT OF TIER SCHELDT DIMS. The President has issued a proclamation deolarhig that the treaty between the United Stites and the King of the Belgians, for the extinguishment of the Scheldt dues, has been duly ratified on both sides, and also another proclamation announcing the ex change of ratifications of the convention between these same nations, completing, by new stipula tions, the treaty of commerce and navigation of July, IBM By these arrangements the United States, in view of the propositiOns made by Belgium to regulate by a common accord the capitalization of the Scheldt dues, consents to contribute to this capitilization, under certain conditilms, an amount not exceeding 2,000,750 francs.

This failure is accounted on the greund of the time having been extended hy the law granting the elective franchise to the Soldiers. Limiting these fifteen counties the returna are, of 0013170, Incom plete, and no'notioe can ledge to-morrow to - the °lee tors thus chosen. The contingency growing out of this state of affairs will require the attention of the Legislature, and no doubt secure the passage of a law preventing the recurrence oi a fibrillar stite of affairs. It is OA dent that the law on th* subject is more directory than obligatory, and, that any action which the Governor may take In the premises, looking merely to the execution of justice, will be endoreed by all right•minded men.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29,—The information from the Army of the Potomac, dated - on Sunday even ing, is .that the usual amount of picket firing was heard along the front, but beyond that all was quiet. In General Butler's department the picket firing Was heavier than usual on that day, and there was also considerable cannonading. The rebel ex-General Roger A. Pryor, now a pri vate soldier in the Confederate army, was captured on Friday last by the 6th Corps pickets of the Army of the Potomac, while attempting to creh_a_pge pa pers with our pickets, as a retaliatory aTt - for the recent capture of.

W.—The latest information from the. South is probably that from ex-General. Roger A. Pryor, who was brought hither today, as a prigoner, and lodged in the Old Capitol jail. He was captured on Sunday, the 27th inst., near Peters burg. Several gentlemen who, shortly after that occur rence, were present during a conversation with him, say that he admitted that Sherman had captured Macon and Milledgeville, and that there was but little, if any, doubt,.from the rapid progress he was making, that he bad captured Augusta, and that he would encounter nothing serious to impede his march to the seaboard; that, with Augusta in his possession, the South would be cut off from Richmond, and that no troops could be sent from Lee to reinforce Savannah. He talked freely,' and apparently with frankness, remarking that the South now regard General Sher man with more alarm than any other officer in the service of the United State; and the press of the South would not be so communicative as heretofore regarding Sherman's movements. Re further said it was reported that Sherman had liberated a num ber orrederal prisoners, and bad armed them, but that this rumor needed confirmation.

Wattartrto, VA., Nov. 29.—The rebels under General Payne surprised, captured, and burned New Creek, on the Baltimore and Ohio' Railroad, yesterday. .They sent a force of about 309 to Pled mont, but were stubbornly resisted by Company A, 6th West Virginia Volunteers, who fought them three hours, when they retreated on the Elk Garden road.

In a short time thelnemy were In full possession of the post, blew up the earthworks, and destroyed - all the temporary and other buildings, 'except the residence of Colonel Armstrong, who is either now or has been in the rebel army. The cutting of the telegraph wire gave the alarm to the railroad men at Piedmont, whereupon all the rolling-stock of the company, and other moveable property, was moved to a place of safety. Soon afterwards the enemy reached Piedmont, and destroyed the roundkouse of the company, a large workShtfp, and a considerable quantity of valuable stationary, machinery.

They add but little, however, to what we aiready•know. Milledgeville was evacuated by the enemy, who carried away from It the archives of the State, and everything else of value. ,At Gwinnedviiie, near Gordon, our forces burnt the Government Chemical works, a lumber train, and a foundry. At Gordon it is supposed the rebel garrison was eaptured, as there was a garrison there and on the 21st heavy cannonading and rapid musketry ' firing was heard, whilih resulted on the morning of the 2241. in the captiaro of the plan.

The news we publisherP yesterday, asserting that the South Carolina troops .of Lee's army had been sent to. Savannah, is con- Armed. A large number of them arrived at Au gusta on the 20th. The Augusta Conetitulionaliat of that date says: - - As we write, the glad and familiar shout of vete. ran troope,just arriving/ram the South Carolina depot, comes up Iran the streets. We welcome the gallant fellows; and Mr. Sherman's men, If they retreat this way, will bear the whistle ' . of bullets from the trusty guns which have often been pointed at isms.. tics on the banks of the Potomac and 'the James. The troops are being properly distributed, and be. fore our readers will see this, other glad shouts will be heard iii our streets. The Chronicle of the same date says : .

A large concourse of people assembled at Con Cart Hall last night to hear the eloquent words of Theo dora Tilton, Esq., of New York. The address of Mr. Tilton was very attentively listened to and fre quently applauded as his sentimants /Arai* a sym pathetic chord In the breasts of his auditors. The meeting was opened by a short address from the Bev. Air. Jackson, who, after delivering a eulogy upon John Brown as the great leader in the cause of emancipation, introduced the orator of the eve ning : DDIIIIBB OF THFODORE TILTON, Mg. The chairman has taken occasion to point your minds backwards for five years, to the time when by it little rope, now in my library as a relic, the last Christian martyr was lifted to Heaven, since which time John Brown's Soul IS marching* on. It has been well said that he who can write a na tion's songs need not care who makes its laws. The spirit of the John Brown song has been during these live years the spirit of Congress, of all legisla tion, of all the proclamations of the President, of all Movements of the army, and is still marching on. The victory now is not far In the' future. The speaker said he left New York in the morning still M. brick .and stone, notwithstanding the attempt to burn it into ashes, and the remark is common there that -it 1 strange how Providence delivered that oity,from the machinations of the enemy, and saved it from so terrible a calamity. "Except the Lord keep the city, the ' watchman watcheth in vain." The speaker said he would commence his theme with a cheerful salutation : " Long live the Republic I all hall the Republic! may her paths be always paths of pleasantness, and all her 'ways be - ways - of peace! The Bth of Novem ber was the noblest and most glorious day that has dawned upon this country—not so meek in what we have gained as in what we have escaped. Suppose that victory had been a defeat; suppose the etin had gone down upon that - day and witnessed the triumph of the wrong. Holy terrible would have been the consequence of suoh a result! We are now falsifying the predictions of false prophets. The London Times, in the beginning of 1801, said that the United States had ceased to be. After four years of war we are not converts to that opinion, but still believe that the London Times has not ceased- to lie. This European conviction that the Unionists been a ttioken and gone down, the eighth.. 'day of NOvember bee falsified. And on that day, In the words of a European poet, • "Yastand 'Weat, North and South, the lie was dead] l And-damned, and stood Up Instead." make the :Portion here to-night, my friends„i tb t no: English - Govcrnant Is half so stable; In a state of peace as our ,country Is in a state of war. Wien, in such a h'uropean country, they have need to charfge an administration, life and death are wavering in the balance. The •rieople 'cry at the palace gates, in one breath, "the king is dead— long live the king!" Not so with us. By. our last election we have virtually changed our Administra tion, not by sinking it donm, but by lifting It up Into new life—we have changed our support, from the lukewarm to the earnest. We have given the peace party a 'defeat. Always in Vag couptry the peace pility has been beaten: In thelievolution the peace party were the Write's. In the war of 1812 the peace party were deservedly swept away. In the ttexlcan war thepertee party wax right, and stood manfully up ; but it wee beaten, and went down. The Amer! cap heart, like that of Uncle Toby's, in "Tristan; Shandy," "never hears a drum beat, but it keeps time totho music:" . I would toGoil that this very great and momentous war might be the last in human history ; that all hereafter should. be for pease • that the sword eigist be turned into a plough:hare and the spear into a ••Pruning hook, and that the lion might lie . down with the lamb. Meanwhile, however, we are not yet upon the day of the mtllenium. The people have now decided for war for four sears longer, per haps. We must wash ourselves still with the blood of civil war. Still there are those who pat their hand's in their pockets and cry out, Can we afford the war for four years longer 7 Why should we cry Out against taxes? The Government 'does not tax us; we tax ourselves. Then let us nut grumble. Ilngland has told us to ask nothing of he we shall ask nothing but a recompense on spoliat one made. by British pirates; but further, we shall £l73k no thing. • Suppose our debt' s Mill as large as Eng land's debt; what is our capacity to pay it? Why, during ten years before the war the population of Great Britain increased one per cent. ; ours during the same ton years increased as much as thirty five per cent. During the same ten years the wealth of Great Britain increased 88, and that of the :United States 125 per cent. Robert J. Walker, a very clear-headed financier, has calculated that in 1890 we shall have in thia country four times the Wealth of Great Britain. Then, shouldwe not pay a debt half as great as hers I The speaker then es timated the present wealth of the country and its debt, and proved that by ode year's cotton crop we could entirely pay the debt of both North and South and stand with clean hands. The cotton mop of 1860 was 5,000,000 bales, of 960 pounds to the bale, at $1.90 perpound. At the last statement the debt was $1,700,000,000 North, and $1,300,000,000 South. Why, you do not know the resources of the country ! It is a wonderful country. I speak not of tho ground, over every foot of :which except that where gripes the laurel over the soldier's grave the sol diers foot has trodden ; not of New England, sterile in every thing but men ; nor yet of these little States in which we live ; but of the mighty West—the land of gold and silver mines--of mineral and vegetable wealth. And shall we say we cannot pay out debts Yes, there are debts we cannot pay—the debt of those who have died for us. Their debt we can only seek to pay by our everlasting gratitude. [Ap -please.] . I propose for the faithful consideration of my countrymen the abolition of the Electoral Col lege. You and I say we had a Presidential elec tion. No, wo have not yet had one. We do not yet know who will be the next Preeldent of the Uni ted States. The electors have a right to choose any candidate they please. I say let us sweep away this cumbrous machine which comes between the people and the full expreselon of the public sesta Thant. I need not show the origin of thp idea. It was supposed that it was not satiate trust the peo- ple with so much liberty. But from thetaginning the people chose their own candidate. The speaker complimented Philadelphia upon the vote oast here for Mr: Lincoln, and said he felt that he lived in a miserable city. I have made a calculation that, although Abraham Lincoln had a majority of 360,000, by a Judicious distriegtiell of about 76,000 ameug the close States, General McClellan would - have had a majority of the Electoral College. The abater then spoke-of- a disproportionate vote . at Would be cast by the inaM-States. in . ottsesan election were thrown, Renee of Re • presentative's, when each wo east ones/Me: In IWO thO populations)/ New York was equal to the . population of fifteen other States, but she, had only If. while the fifteen States had 72. Is that demo cracy 7 We must not a tinwever, alter the Constitu tion hastily and without due consideration. Leg the Idea be oast upon the minds ol s ,the people,'and lot them consider it. What is our present position to wards the enemy 1 There are those who think that we stand in a different attitude since thaspoech of General Butler, foreslfadowing the policy of • the Government. It merely Wants MI/WM/ that until the Bth Januato we should hold Oct the olive branch, -bait that after fhat time we should wage the war as we have never Tot, striving stiffluirder after victory. It means that we shall no longer levytaxes upon. the people of the North to pay the soldiers, bat parcel out the lands of the South and drive the in habitants out. I see no danger in that proposition. except danger to the enemy. But I think instead '.of giving grace we should commence at once. I am perftctly aware that all civil wars must end in a compromise ;so may ours. The very moment we can get any terms • from the South we can get the beet terms; the time they bow the head they ' will bend the knee. Thine are 'some things on which we can afford to compromise, but on others we should die first. There should be no hal/woo terms. My way of settlement would be: "No State out of the Union—no slave in it." . [Applause.] • Let us have our old flag but a new Constitution. I believe in Macaulay 's sentiments, that in a civil war the many should be pardoned, and the few pun • ;shed ; that where the blood of a quarter of a mil lion has been shed some one should be hanged. [Great applause.] Before all things, we must have liberty. Let us remember it in these stormy days. Can the nation be brought together in amity and' friendship? Ask human nature, not history or , Statesmanship. Have you not heard of the war of the Red and White Roses, pale as death, and red as blood, and yet the' red and white rose ®retted on the same stem? [Applause 1 , When any one asks if the North and South cam come together, ask him if there was in the begin ning of the 'rebellion any State more bitter than Maryland. That State now, reversing her old policy, points her finger with scorn at the city of Newlsork, and say., We give twelve thousand for liberty. [Applause.] I will tell you where I see breakers ahead. They are in the radical, extrema heresy of State rights. Patrick Henry objected to the preamble to the Constitution reading 'we, the- people, and wanted it to read we, the States. But Washington, and all the ether good men of the time, would not .have it eo. It has been well Raid that a confederacy is not a country, and that confederates are not countrymen. Statesovereignty, as the term is generally used, is a monstrosity. I believe in ;State righte a but I believe that in State rights there is no such farce as State sovereignty. A State has no power to make war, to con clude peace or to coin money. It can make paper mone y, and I am glad to see that the nation is now beginning to make paper money.

[Long end continued applause.] The State has _power, bat: it is Subordinate to the General Government. Thera are two kinds of go vernments in the world--governments of consent and governments of coercion. The nati o ns of the Old World have governments of coercion—oars - Is one • of consent, and we have now consented to co. erce the rebel States The Speaker then related an occurrence which happened to him in New London. A venerable old whitahaired man came tiponthe • platform where he had been speaking, and said be had cast a vote for Thomas Jefferson for Pre sident, and that her came there to testify that tile Democracy of to-day was not the Democracy of Jefferson. If Davis, the champion of State rights, can threaten to make war. upon North °walla& to keep her in the Confederacy, why 'cannot we Make war on all the rebellious States to keep them le the Union? The most pressing duty of the hour is to ask Congress to give us,' the ameedment to the Constitution prohibiting slavers forever. We will not leave _ off the agitation of this.

Mr. Tilton here related an amusing anecdote about - Wendell Phillips. This distin guished orator. he Said, Wee riding In a railroad car, when he was addeasead by a man of such rotundity 'that he seemed - to terry every thing beioreintan. Thts man asked Mr. Phillips what was the object of his life, "To benefit the negro," was the bland reply. " Well, then, why don't you go down South to do ill". " That As wortb a thlnklng of: I see a white cravat around our nedk ; pray, what is •t he object of your lifer* save eoule from " May I ask you whe on propose to go there to do it 7" [lmmense ap I am a fanatic, and privi-• leged,to say thingathat others dread. The slavery question being :now virtually settled, the question of the negro Ours into play. The war has teen four years long because the white man refused to work with the negro, and God refused to work with out him. The nation has 'learned that it will not do to hold men in bondage. The Declaration of Independence has two cardinal ideas : First, free dom—that you believe; next, kQUALITY. [Aps. please I • Poyou believe that? The - first question is gone by. The questiorenow is, Four miftione of freedmen, shall we lift them up or trample them down 1 Let us throw roses wider their feet. I be lieve that a black man, who stands with .his bayo net in hand, fighting for the Delon, has a right to sap that his wife shall ride in the street cars of • Plillatielphia. [Loud applause.] I believe, -too, that the black men who fight for US have a right to, vote. But, , As , ljontesgafeu said it will not do to ackno w ledge the negro to be -a men lest - it should be wand that the white man Is not. There Is one being the political scale lower than the negro-a-that woman. I-am not speaking ot• any 'moral attribute; I am speaking of political position,. Politically , she is beneath , the feet-of the negro. The speaker, after &Tow humorous remarks about women; paid theme glowing tribute for their noble labors in the cause .of the suffering soldier. The women are the left wing of the' army. If they . haye not done the most, they have suffered the most : far the Republic. I said tat Republic ; but we have t libßepuhlic.

TER NATIONAL CONSTITUTION. An adjourned meeting of persons in favor of amending the National-Constitution so as to recog nice the authority of Clod and the obligations of Hie law, assembled last evening in the West Aroh.ebreet Presbyterian Church. The audience tiled the large and elegant church building, and the proceedings wore quite interesting. Hon. James Pollock, Vine president of the Convention, presided. The Conven tion was opened with prayer by Dr. Edwards. Rev. Dr Butler secretary, read the pall of the meeting. The president than stated that the meeting was preliminary to the business meeting which Is to take place today. He then read a letter from Rev. Dr. Eddy. president of the Convention, regretting his inability to wit''esent, and expressing his hearty Sympathy the mosso under considera tion. Rev. Dr. Edwards then read the following resolu tions, which will be considered today : Resolved. That a national recognition of Sod, the Lord Segue Christ. and the Holy Scriptures, as proposed in the memorial of this association to Congress. Is clearly a Scriptural duty, which it is national peril to disregard. Resolved, That, in consideration of the general dif fusion of religious Intelligence, principles, and institu tions throughout our country—in view of the many ex press recognitions of Christianity by the Constitntlon end the Legislative enactments of the several States. and In view, also, of the religions history of the round ers of this Government, it is a striking and solemn fact that onr present - 1101one Constitutien is so devoid of any distinctive Christian feature that one. of our Chief Magistrates once refined to appoint a day of fasting and prayer in an hour of public calamity, because the sa ber, In its Constitution, recognised no God, and an other, in contracting a treaty with a Idahometan Power. hesitated not to declare that • •The Government of the United States is not. in any sense, founded on the Christian religion. It has In itself no character of en mity against the laws and religion of kinsimlmen. " Resolved, That the measures proposed by this asso ciation are not sectional, nor sectarian, nor partisan. hut the general voles of Christian patriotism, asking that which right and wholesome. which is In - keening with our antecedents, and which will not operate 00- pressively upon the conscience of any citizen. Resolved. That the state of the times. recent and pre sent, and the state of public sentiment. warrant and encourages the attempt to secure the amendment to the Constitution which is proposed by this association. Resolved, That the hour of ehaetise merit is the hour of repentance and reform: and that while in such a day of national trouble and rebuke as has befallen us, eve •Y cl ef ea o r m a ton n f ac o k m ow n ed ls g i v n a g l G od, in nd x a im lt p ing rt H n is , So t n ls . and in diffusing the principles of GM word through al our Government'knd Admtration, not only is there no-mistake committed, but an end of the first dignity is secured. • Ron. Judge Strong and Rev. Dr. Goddard made speecbee favoring the proposed amendment. The Convention then adjourbed, with prayer from Rev. Dr. Junkin and the benediction, to meet again this morning, at 10 o'clock. The following is the 'proposed amendegent which will be acted on today: To the Honorable the Senate and Howe of Representa• • tines in Congress ateenthied: We, citizen's of the tfnlied States, respectfully sat Your honorable bodies to adopt measures for amending the Constitution of the United States so as to read, in substance as follows: We t ,e people of Alio Xittited States, humbly ac • knolirledging Almighty`: ae -the source of all tenth°. rity isnd• poWer in civil goiternmont, the Lord Jenne Chriheas the Ruler among thenations. and. His revealed .will as of supreme authority; tn - order to constitute a .Christian government. and in order to form a more per fect union. establish justice. insure domestic, tranquil lity,provide for the common defence, promote the gene ral welfare, and secure the Inalienable rights and blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to ourselves, our posterity. and all the inhabitants of the lead, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United t tales of America." And we further ask that such changes be introduced into the body of the Constitution. as maybe necessary to give effect io there amendments in the preamble. There was an amendment circulated amongst the audience In the early part of the evening, with blanks for signatures. This is not the amendment of the Convention. HITS BAT S.
