Vrobpteriag 'ginner, .PITTSBURGFI, OCTOBER 28, 1863 The War. We have no groat battles to record this week, but we can tell of some important events, relative to our armies. THE ARMY or THE POTOMAC has again assumed the offensive. Gen. Meade, in his retreat, had so crippled the railroad that Gen. Lee could not use it to transport his ;plies. And as he was scarce of wagons, l as The country over which he advanced utterly exhausted, be was obliged Idily to retire. He evidently had hoped flank Gen. Meade and get hold of his res. In this attempt he was completely led. Gen. Meade moved with due rapid• , and kept his divisions so well in hand, ' chose his positions so wisely, that his , ersary's strategy was all ineffective. !e was hence•obliged, from a sense of bun a., speedily to retire. In retiring, how 'or, he damaged the railroad greatly be ind what Meade, had done, so that it will :quire two or three weeks to make it again t for use. By this means he has rendered impracticable for Meade to transport pro isions and material of war sufficiently to istify him in bringing on a general en ;ement. At last dates the Rappahan- Jck had again separated the armies. Wash igton is hence relieved, as is also Mary nd and Pennsylvania. Conjectures are offered why Gen. Meade tired before Lee 4 and then so speedily (lowed him. Some of these are unfavor le to Meade ; others are damaging to the linistration. We pretend not to decide. was reported that Meade was removed; In that he had tendered his resignation. ) last statement is, that he enjoys the idence of the President. 'RE REMOVAL OF ROSECRANS from the of the Cumberland, took the country iurprise. That was an event which did oast its shadow before it. Letter wri t, party politicians; and newspaper Gen except a few, were glorifying Rose. and that few were silent. We be ;ed rather to the silent ones. He never a special favorite with us. But we did indulge in criticism. Much is now against him; by those who plead for Government. Much may be true, yet du not believe half the evil things ut ; and do not choose to put them on He has done much service, and mistakes may well be pardoned. NEW GRAND DEPARTMENT, called c Division of the Mississippi," is now tituted in the West, at the head of ,ch is Gen. Grant, with his headquarters Nashville, or, as one report says, in the ld. Gen. Thomas, the hero of Chicka. iga, and of other battles, commands the ,y of the Cumberland; Gen. Burnside, of the Ohio; Gen. Hurlbutt, that of 'nesse°, and Gen. M'Pherson commands Vicksburg. Gens. Sherman and Hooker command corps in the field. Gen. nt's abilities for a single command, un his own eye, are great. The theory of the present arrangement is good; and if Grant has the kind and the degree of t needed, happy results will follow. shall cherish good hopes; especially if shall prove true that he has appointed Buell his Chief of Staff. Gen. Buell been cleared of all charges made against . He saved Grant at Pittsburgh Land and he is one of the best organizers disciplinarians in the army. le battle of Chicamauga has been pe arly severe on the Generals. On the 31 side Generals Hood, P. Smith, Wool- I, Waltham, Holmes and Deshler were to be killed. Generals Adams, Brown, igg, Bunn, Preston, Cleburn and Benning to wounded. Gen. Polk has been sus tded; Gen. D. Ef. Hill removed; Gen. tdman arrested; and Gen. Forrest has nee offended and retired; and Gen. Commander-in-Chief, is likely to be irseded. On the Union aide Gen. Lytle killed, Gen. --- wounded ; Gene. ;ook and Crittenden relieved, and the ,f commander, Gen. Rosecrans, super- liens. Roseorana and Bragg both failed Igiously in what their Governments ex ited of them. The men, on each aide, 'ht well, but neither commander display- any great ability. AT CHATTANOOGA things seem to be tionary. The investment by the rebels be not quite so close, but Thomas is likely to move till new arrangements made. Gen. Grant has arrived. GEN. BURNSIDE is still operating in East tnessee, and extending his possessions -a Southwest Virginia. This may be re :ded as a good move, if well sustained. has been a wonder to us why that district A not possessed long ago. One of bhe reasons why Gen. Rosecrans was not .e of a favorite with us was that he did expel the enemy thence during his long in that region. It is there that the as have their most extensive salt works. .) loss of Southwest*ViTginia would be to im a very great affliction. GEN. BANKS is reported at Brownsville, tax. If this Is true, a most important )ment has been made. Brownsville is the mouth of the . Rio Grande, and site to Matamoros, which latter is the :spot of a vast amount of army supplies the rebels. English ships trade there ;ely, exchanging their goods for . Texan :on. A Federal army would cheek operation. IsORE CHARLESTON, things are nearly Gilmore is still fortifying Morris d. It may be the intention of Gov sut not to press the seige of Charles- With the North end of Morris Island fortified, and Sumpter silenced, our , skaders could remain safely so close to harbor as to nearly seal it. We would need to keep a few iron-clads there, to guard against the rebel rams. To approach Charleston by land would require twice or thrice the number of men now under Gen. Gilmore. ADMIRAL DAHLGREN, as is said, is to be relieved. The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. The first premium was awarded to the above, by a careful committee, on yesterday, composed of the best experts in the State. Considering the very formidable competition, this result is a great triumph. The Wheeler & Wilson Machine is admitted by every housewife'who has used it, and every manufacturer of goods, from the heaviest fabrics to the finest fabrics, as the best in uise. Time has proven its merits, and trials its usefulness. The machines which were on ex hibition were those manufactured by W.

Olitsuch is the kingdom of heaven." DIED—At East Waterford, Juniata County, Pa., May 7th; 1863, Mrs. NANCY RAMSEY, (formerly Mrs. Nancy Laughlin,) in the 84th year of her age. Mrs. Ramsey gave her heart to the Lord in early life, and maintained a consistent Christian profession in all of life's changes. She was able to attend the worship of God in his sanctuary until within a few months of her death. Her father was Mr. Piper, a native of Ireland, a Captain in the Revolutionary army, and after ward a Ruling Elder in the Seceder Church. DIED—In East Waterford, Pa., October 14th, 1868, Mrs. SALLIE LAUGHLIN, consort of Matthew Laughlin, Esq., aged 65 years and 6 months. Mrs. Laughlin had been for forty years a Com municating member in the Presbyterian Church, ever maintaining a consistent Christian profes sion, and estimable in all the relations of life, and greatly beloved. For several years of her late life, she suffered much from sickness. Mrs. Laughlin was a faithful Sabbath School teacher, and in the family was truly a helpmeet. Her memory is blessed. DIED—In hospital, at Washington City, Sep tember 19th, of wounds received in the second battle of Fredericksburg, GEORGE W. LONG, in the 27th year of his age. Mr. Long was a member of Co. C, 189th P. V., and bore the reputation of an upright man and a brave soldier. We trust he was a." soldier of the cross." When on the way to join his regiment, a year ago, he called on the writer of of this notice, deeply concerned about his salva tion. He confessed that he had too long neg lected the interests of his soul, and professed an earnest desire to believe in Jesus, profess his name and receive Christian baptism. He was subsequently baptized in company with three or four other soldiers, and, we trust, is now with Jesus, the Captain of his salvation, and the great company in white robes who stand before the throne. • H. DIED—At Indiana, Pa.,.on the 26th of Sep tember last, Mrs. MATILDA, wife of James M. Stewart, M.D., in the 71st year of her age. The deceased was born at Huntingdon, Hunt ingdon County, Pa., on the 12th of January, 1798. Her father was the Hon. Benjamin El liott, of that place. She was the aunt of the Rev. Jaraes H. Orbison, missionary to India, and of Mrs. Dr. Harris, who so nobly devotes her time and labors to the temporal and spiritual in terests of the soldiers. Her parents were both , worthy members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. She was married on the 28th of March, 1816, and in the Spring of the following year she accompanied her husband to Indiana, Pa., where she spent the remainder of her life. About the year 1827, she made a public profes sion of religion in the Presbyierian church, then under the pastoral care of the Rev. John Reed. She possessed in a high degree the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit; her conversation in the world was in simplicity and godly sincerity, and she walked in all the commandments and ordi nances of the Lord, blameless. She was the mother of two children, one of which, a lovely daughter in the bloom of her youth, was stricken with an incurable disease, under which she , lingered for about twenty-three years. During most of this time, night and day, the de voted mother attended her with the most assid uous care till about a year ago, when she fell asleep in Jesus. This pressure of care and sor-' row had greatly impaired Mrs. Stewart's health, and after the death of her daughter she declined rapidly, and every effort made to restore her, proved unavailing. During her illness she frequently conversed with her hus band on' the subject of their sepaistion by death, and, with great calmness, spoke of her approaching end. • She was modest and diffi dent in speaking of ler own religious expe , rienoe, but her 'confidential friends will retain the remembrance of 'Mail a conversation fra grant with pious,thoughts. Just before her pesieful end, she signified to a friend that she PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1863. was still trusting in Christ, and that J esus was very precious to her. 13y this dispensation of God's provideuoe, her husband, in advanced age and with declining strength, has sustained an irreparable loss; but it is his great consolation to know that his loss •is her eternal gain. DlED—April 6th, 1863, Mrs. MARY HANNA, wife of Stewart. Jordan, deceased, in the 96th year of her age. The subject of this notice was born in Chester County, Penna. Her parents were members of Doe Run congregation, then under the pastoral care of the Rev. Mr-Foster, by whom she was baptized. It is supposed that she connected herself with-that church, at an early age, under the ministrations of the Rev, Mr. Mitchel; by whom she was married to Mr. Jordan. In September, 1801, the family removed to the then far West, and after a _wearisome journey of three weeks, arrived at Pittsburgh, October Bth. An incident of that journey she often repeated io the writer, with much emotion. As a friend, her heart was sad in bidding farewell to the home of her childhood and youth, but the mother's heart was more sad in leaving the " old grave yard" in which she had just deposited a precious treasure, a dearly beloved child. On. the way, her babe was violently attacked with a malig nant diseaSe. Early in the afternoon they ar rived at a public house, where they put up for the night, in order to attend to the wants of the sick child. In the evening the young people of the neighborhood collected for a "ball." The dancers would not endure the presence of the mother and children, and she was compelled to retire to the wagon, and seek protection there for herself and little ones as best she could, from the damps of the night and the cold bleak winds of Autumn. The night was cold and stormy. The babe caught cold and died the next even jug, and was buried at a place called "Burnt Cabins," in Bedford County. The darkness of that hour none but a mother's heart can krow. The babe and dancers have all met, ere this, at the bar of God. Which has been rejected there? They removed immediately to South Fayette Township, Allegheny County, where they spent the 'Tinter in a little cabin.on the farm of Mr. ...;der. In the meantime having purchased small farm, and built a cabin, they removed to it the following Spring. Here they lived and died. For many years she worshiped in the church of Bethel, seven miles distant, then under the pastoral care of the Rev. Mr. Woods, and at the organization of Bethany church became one of its original members, in whose communion she lived until Goa called her to the Church triumphant. At the time of her death, her des cendants numbered 91, viz.: 9 - children, 57 grand children, 311 great-grand-children. The writer's earliest acquaintance with her was in the Sum mer of 1855. Then all her faculties, mental and physical, were greatly impaired but it was evident that in the prime of life she was a woman of great energy and decision of character. In her latter days she seemed to live over again the scenes of childhood and youth ; to be a child, among strangers, longing and weeping to go home to "mothe;." All other earthly friends may be forgotten, but the name of mother is throughout life music to the ear and balm to the aching heart. The privileges of the sanctuary during the latter part of her life (though doubt less greatly enjoyed by her at the time) were but dimly written on memory's page, but those of childhood and youth were graven as with the point of a diamond. With what emotion she would e Speak of that godly man, Rev. Mitohel; of the awakening and consoling power of Divine truth as it fell from his lips. At this fountain she continued to drink and renew her spiritual strength. What the name mother was to the child, this and more was. the name Jesus to the Christian. She has gone from our midst. Her dust quietly:reposes in Bethany Cemetery await ing the resurrection of the just, while her ran somed spirit, as we hope, is singing the song of redeeming love in glory. A large circle of friends and relations mourn their loss, but not without hope. 1. Thess. iv :14 ; Rev. aiv : 13. DIED—On the 23d of Sept., 1863, at his late residence] in Columbia, Boon County, Mo., Mr. JAMES C. RAINEY, formerly of Belmont County, Ohio. The subject of the above notice was a profes-• sed follower of. Jesus ; becoming a member of. the Presbyterian church of Martinville, Ohio, in his 16th year, and has now gone home to join the Church triumpharit in heaven. He has finished his work—he has won for himself a crown of glory—he has passed the cold Jordan of death, gently leaning upon the bosom of his Saviour; who in loving tones whispers, "It is I, be not afraid." Another bright star illumes the great white throne—another angel form roams the. bright plains of heaven ; basking - in the sunshine of eternal light: For there is no night there. Beloved friends, why do ye weep; he heeds it not. He requested his loving wife, and brother, who stood around his dying couch, administer ing to his every want, to have his body brought to the home of his youth, for interment; which was done, being embalmed and placed in a metalio coffin, where his aged and doting parents, beloved wife, loving brother and sisters, might all follow him to his lastresting place. Sorrow ing friends, it was a sad meeting, and a. more sad farewell ; but think not of the gloomy grave, it only contains an empty casket—the gem has flow'n to deck the Saviour's crown. Then weep not, but rejoice, your loved one is now touching the, Golden harp, and singing anew, "I would not live always,l ask not to stay Where storm after store rises dark o'er the way." That which he so much loved to sing while here. He left a sorrowing wife, a little son and daughter, loving parents, fond brother and sis ters, to mourn his loss. To each let me say, be ye also ready—the rolling billows of time are swiftly bearing you on, one by one ; the golden links that are severed from the family circle here below, will be united in heaven, where such sorrow as yours will be unknown. He bore his sufferings with calm and patient endur ance, evincing a quiet resignation to the will of the Most High. When asked, if he would not like to see the loved ones at home, he replied, they can meet me in heaven. - Farewell dear friends, a long farewell; Farewell to those I Tore; I go, but cannot come again, Meet me in worlds above. DlED—September Oth, 1868,.at the residence of his father, in Washington County, Pa 4 A. YATES, son of Thomas and Mary F. Ralston, aged 15 years, 2 months and 14 days. ' It pleased God who took away this amiable and interesting -youth, to prepare him by his grace, as - we believe, for an early death. From childhood he was conscientious and attentive to -religious duties. But it was not, as he said, until God laid affliction upon him, that he was led to embrace Christ,. His long illness which he bore with great patience, afforded him much time for careful thought and prayer. During this time his Bible was his Constant companion. 'He was naturally ,dilE.dent, and expressed him self reservedly. But the steady growth of his confidence in Christ as his Saviour, became very apparent, especially in his last days; so that he was able to say, " I knew whom I have believed."

The Largest, best Organized, and most Successful Commercial School in the United States. THE DESIGN OF THE SOl-1001; Is, by means of a judiciously arranged system of instruction in theory and practice com bined, under the direction of experienced Teachers and practical Business Men, to prepare young men in the shortest time, and at the least possible expense, for active business, and thus avoid the expense and inemveuience atteniant upon long years of apprenticeship is subordinate and inferior positions. That this is eminently practicable, is most conclusively shown in the history of hundreds of former students, who moat unhesitatingly attribute their success in business to the ad vantages derived from a course of training such as none other than this College affords. THE commERoTAT, OR BUSINESS COURSE, In every variety of form as applied in all kinds of business, such as Wholesale and Retail Merchandizing, Manufacturing, Banking, Railroading, Steamboating, Commission and Forwarding, and Joint Stock Company business. Under this head the student receives special instruction in the different methods of opening and closing a set of Books, being required to open and close from TWELVE to TWENTY different sets; changing from Stock to Partnership Books; from Single to Double-Entry ; the different methods of ascertaining the gains and losses of business; Partnership changes and Settlements.

SINGLE-ENTRY BOOK-KEEPING. ) With the nee of all the principal auxiliaries employed either in Wholesale or Retail Busi ness; the method of changing the same to Double-Entry; also a system of Single-Entry Possessing all the leading features of Double. Entry, in which the Day Book, Invoice Book, Sales Book and Cash Book are combined in one; being altogether the most condensed form of keeping accounts ever adopted. The most complete and the only really practical system of instruction in this depart ment of business ever adopted ; one that has been pronounced PERMIT by practical Dank. em, who do not hesitate to say, that the student who faithfully completes this branch here, is qualified for any position in a Bank. The course of study under this head not only fa miliarizes the student with the method of keeping the Books, but with the duties of every officer or employee of the Bank, from that of President, Cashier, Teller, dic., down to Dis count Clerk. He is also instructed in the mode of organizing a Bank, the selection of its officers, its Board of Directors, and all of the outside as well as the inside management of. its affairs, frosit the first paying in of the Capital Stock, to the declaration of a Dividend among the Stockholders. The instruction in this department covers the whole ground firm the paying in of the stock Instalments to the completion of the Road and the successful operating of the same in both the Freight and. Passenger departments. That the system is a practical one, it is only necessary to stale that It is the production of one of the principal officers of one of our leading lines of Railroad. The course of instruction' in this department is that which bast long been practised on all the great rivers of the Continent, and being the work of an experienced accountant and business man, it pOssessee all the advantages of brevity and simplicity. MANUFACTURING. • The great manufacturing interests of Pittsburgh makes this a subject of special import ance to young men preparing' or business. To meet this want we have two sets of Books, representing some of the most extensive manufacturing firms in this city. Young men, upin graduating, are fully prepared to take charge of the Books of any manufacturing establishment. With a set of Books especially adapted to this kind of business, the student is Instructed in the most approved method of keeping the jarious auxiliaries, making out Invoices, ren dering Account Sales, writing Letters, drawing Drafts, making remittances, exchanging Accounts Current, &c. The general introduction of Joint Stook Companies throughout the United States, ten-- den this a subject of paramonntimportance to the praCtical accountant. Hence, Students are drilled In all essential and leading features of incorporated Companies, including their formation and management, the transfer of Stock, making Dividends, &c. It is con fidently believed, that no other Institution in the world compares with this in the advan tages it affords for imparting a thorough knowledge of this subject.

COWLEY, author of "COWLEY'S SYSTEM OF PENMANSHIP," who Is acknowledged, both at home and abroad, the best Penman in America. Every Stu_ dent is regularly drilled by Professor Cowley himself, in his admirable System of Rapid Business Writing.

A 'Conroe of Lectures on all those subjects of special interest to the practical, business rasa, including Rights of Persona; of Property; Partnerships; Agencies; Bailments; Mer cantile Paper; Insurance; Wills, &c. In: order to make this department of practical value, Students are each day examined on the subject of the Lecture of the previous day. This plan, while peculiarlY interesting, is the one best adapted to secure a "practiCal knowledge of the principles of the 'Law Meichant. The course pursued in this, is the same as that in the Law Department; the subjects dis cussed being, the Laws of Wealth; Production, Distribution and Consumption of Capital;. Tariffs; Revenue; Currency; Exchange; the Laws of Labor and Capital; Industry; Tax ation; Civil Government,. &c.

There is no need for any young man in the country to wait a single. day for good remu nerative employmetA, if he will only prepare himself for business.. Since the breaking out of the war, so great has been the demand for competent and active young men, in almost every department of business, that many of our Students have scarcely had time to corn plate:their course here, before they were required to fill important situations; while others have obtained some of the best positions before they have had time to Smith their studies. RETURNED SOLDIERS, And others out of employment, will find a course of study here to be the shmpest and surest way to secure remunerative employment. Large numbers of our returned and disabled soldiers have already availed themselves of the advantages ors course of training here, and are now occupying some of the best business situations in the country.- Stationery, Books, ece. Our Stationery is of the very beet quality, and such as is used in no other school in the West. Our Blanks, which are all made to order, are of the finest quality of paper, and manufactured in the best style; -a single set being worth snore than halt a dozen such as those used in other schools in this vicinity, while the cost is but a very little increased. The whole outfit of Books, Blanks, and Stationery, for the entire course, costing only from $5.00 to $lOO. The venal price in respectable private families, with ininished morns, is $3.00. In Hotelb, from IS,„A 00 to $5.00„ By giving the principals a few days' notice of the time when students are expected to enter, they wilrbe provided , on their arrival with suitable boarding places, and thus saved much inconvenience and,some expense. SPECIAL I 1 PORMATIOIsT. There being no vacations, and no term divisions, Students can enter at any time. Day and Evening Sessions throughout the year, enabling those who can attend evenings only, to complete a foil course. Each Student is permitted to advance according to his ability ;no one being retarded by the progress of another, or compelled to proceed faster than he is pro. pared to go. The average time to complete a course being eight weeks ; though some do it in leas time, while others require more. Where Students can, it is advisable that they ex tend, ratbdr than shorten the time of their attendance here.
