1860. Utjesfcgtmiitt <®ejtrs«c (Koangeltat. THURSDAY, JAN. 0, 1800. The New Year.opens to us with good cheer. Every mail brings us new names to our list of subscribers. One small but pleasant town in west ern New York, send ten additional names to a list of over twenty. There are a hundred towns that could easily do the same, and be the richer and m tetter for it. With the large proportion of the subscribers who came with the transfer of the Genesee Evangelist, the year commences with the present number, and the prompt men are an ticipating the time, and the renewals, have been coming in for two weeks. One man mails his TWO dollars on the 30th of December, and says that all' the .fault he can find with our paper is that we do not exact payment invariably in advance, and stop all who do hot comply with these terms. We like his theory admirably, and if all would do "as he doeß, it would be safe in practice. But there are many who ought to have the paper, and that would lose it by their delay and neglect. It is a remarkable fact that the. richest blessings have often to be urged upon men, and many by neglect ■ All persons desiring to avail tkenisAves of' our olitb terms, must make up their number and for ward the money in the month of January. To Mail Subscribers, two dollars per year, IN ADVANCE. City Subscribers, receiving their paper through a carrier, will be charged fifty cents additional. Six copies will be sent to one address for a year for ten dollars. fe copies will be sent to one address for a yeatjTor seveneebn dollars. Twenty copies will be Bent to one address for THIRTY DOLLARS. - - Clubs may be formed to commence with the first of January, and to secure the deduction, the money must be invariably paid in advance. 6@f~ All papers will be continued after the ex piration of the year, Unless expressly ordered to be discontinued, and such orders should be by letter, and not by returning a paper. To secure a dis continuance- alsSirrearages must be paid. Remittances may be made directly by mail at tlfe risk of the publishers, and receipts will be re turned in the papess. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SABBATH-SCHOOL BIBLE SOCIETY OF THE tfHIRD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA. The Bible Society is the only Society, possess ing a distinot organization, which has lived inside of “Old Pine Street Church” Sabbath-school to see the age of manhood-—twenty-one years! The period attained, shall not, however, be embraced for the purpose of turning back to the commence ment and retrabing the path and progress of the Society, through each successive year, till the en qfc’tita. .past be brought within of thtf preaent_ ' Interesting as they might be r6undT, we shall not encumber the present report with the statistics of the past twenty years. The secretary, whose duty requires of him the making and reading of the annual reports, has en deavored to submit the doings of the Society each year, embodied in language so varied, that one re port might not be mistaken for another. There is one subject, however, over which he has never been able to exercise any control; It makes its appearance in each report, andstands distinguished in hold figures to impart true and definite value, so as to redeem the Secretary’s labored productions • from their sterility. It is a faithful document, never detracting from, or exaggerating merit— The Treasurer’s Account. We give it, once more, a true and cordial welcome: Balapoe on hand at the end of last year, $825.11 Appropriation to the Philadelphia Bible Society, to pay for- twenty-one life memb|rship» as follows, namely, from Jame&W.

It sings rather of a glorious morning and a perpetual day! The watch man in Isaiah said “ The morning cometh, and also the night." The Star’ of Beth lehem—“ Brightest and,,best of the Sons of the morning” though it.be, pursues its path of ages amongst the cloudsas well as through an unclouded sky. Night and morning variegate, with their light and shadow, every thing beneath the sun. This little auxiliary of the Bible cause must share in the fortunes which fall to the lot. of larger bodies.

The Ninth Street Baptist Church has called the Rev. E. T. Robinson, one of the recent graduates of Rochester. He preaohed two Sabbaths for them, with much ac ceptance, and his sermon from the words, “ No man can come unto me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,” was the* means of leading one soul to i Christ. His' answer is hot yet received. The 7th; Presbyterian Church pulpit is still vacant. The St. 1 John's Episcopal Church-recalled Rev. Mr. Nicbol-' son, now of Boston, but he does not think it his duty' to return. These are air among our largest city churches, and their pulpits ought to have an able mi-' nistry. Rev. D. S.

Mr- John E. Todd, son of Key. John Todd, D. D„ has received a unanimous invitation to become pastor of the Winter street Church, in Boston. The World's UnionFrayer-Meeting, —A Union prayer-meeting is proposed to be held in all parts of the world, and by all Protestant denominations, on the second week in January. The call for such a meeting originated with the American missionaries in northern India. It has been responded to very generally in Great Retain. A circular, letier, signed by forty-five ministers of various Christian communi ties, has just been issued, inviting Christians,of every name to unite in this observance. The original call 'of the missionaries is in these words ; “That we appoint.the second week in January, 1860, beginning with Monday, the Bth, as a time of special prayer that God would-now pour out his Spi rit; upon all flesh, so that all the ends of the earth. In 'ght see His. salvation; that on the first day, that is on Monday, the Bth, be a holy convocation for solemn fasting, humiliation and. prayer, and that on the last day, that is, Sabbath, the 14th, be a holy convocation for thanksgiving and praise'; that the intervening time be spent in private and social exercises of prayer and praise, as the circumstances of each community may dictate, that all God’s people of every name and nation, of every continent and island, be cordially and earnestly invited to unite with us in a similar observance of that time.” Revival Abroad .—Our foreign paper# still con tain cheering accounts of the progress of the revival in Ireland and Scotland,, and the hopeful indications that the manifested fruits will prove genuine andi durable. We make a few extracts of items wbiclg are gaely an index, to -the- general state of religiouJ interest prevailing throughout those parts of tae Briflsh'Eingdoffi: The work of the Spirit progresses in the same Jet fectual manner which we have, for some time p/at described. It is now, in most cases, the “stall, small voice" which awakens the sinner to a sense of in's condition, and afterwards whispers hope and ®ace. The attendance on religious ordinances, and atjpveek evening prayer-meetings, is so large, notwitlist#iding the frequently unfavorable nature of the weafier, as to show'that the interest in those things, njTwhich many have been lately brought to think fowthQ first time, is of bo evanescent character.

LARXE. . “TOli regard to Larne we have a similarly encou ragiag account to give. In one of the Presbyterian' eoßgregatiooa.Jihe increase in the attendance upon ordinances has been: as much as one-third -of the whole assemblage usually present; The num ftr of communicants, previously averaging 360, was ta tbe last sacramental occasion, augmented to •about SOO, of whom 90, or upwards, came forward for the first time. The increase in the number of prayer meetings is equally remarkable: there are now twelve where formerly there was but'one. These ali attract numerous audiences. Of those who made a profession* of Christ, not one is known to have turned back to the paths of sin; Several individuals who were connected with the Unitarian communion, have been “stricken down,” and have never since entered the place of worship they once attended. In one of the Presbyterian congregations, a person has, this year, sold Bibles to the amount of £2O, and two others have had equal success; while one lad, who disposes of religious publications, has doubled his sales during the same period.

Most cheering accounts continue to reach us of the rapid and deepening progress of the work in the Western, Northern and Midland districts of the sister country. Several of the Scotch papers contain, from day to day, highly interesting details of awdkenings, “strikings down," and conversions, at the regular ordinances in the churches, and at prayer-meetings. In Edinburgh University, a general prayer-meeting, open to all students, is to be held every Saturday morning, from nine till ten, and the students of tiW medical classes have commenced a m©Up ing” on Friday evenings, at seven. With respect to Carrubber’a Close, where the revivals first com menced, wo find the following in reference to a gentleman who takes a deep interest in the work there“ Every one who has been engaged in Sabbath teaching, of course knows the nareui of Mr. Gall. For forty or* fifty years back, that name has been nssteiated with Sabbath-schools, and it is nbt the fifl| or the hun dredth institution set agoing by the venerable father and his like-minded"son. The system pursued by Mr. Gall now, with these adults, is essentially the same as what I first saw him exemplify with children five-and-twenty years ago—the same simplicity, and yet power—the plain Gospel narrative followed up by the “practical lesson.'''. ..

We trust that Mr. Seward and Mr. Beecher will be able to en dure this great trial: The college boys had probably read in their sehool books the story of the old Greek, whose name has come down to us only because he burned a famous temple. The State of Arkansas has enacted a very strin gent measure against free negroes, which will go into effect the Ist of January. AH free negroes found in the State at that period are to he sold into slavery. In Mississippi, a law adopted on the 7th instant, provides that free negroes shall leave the State, on or before the Ist of July, 18C0; or, if they prefer to re main, that they shall be sold into slavery, with a right of choice of masters, at a price assessed by three disinterested slaveholders, the proceeds to go into the treasury of the county in which the pro visions of the bill may require it to be executed. The Virginia Legislature having inquired of Gov. Wise the cost of suppressing the late invasion' and hanging of the prisoners, he answers that the ac counts are not in, and will "net be until his term ex pires; hut the expenses will be'very large, on account of the disorganized condition of the Virginia militia making it necessary for him to improvise a force for the occasion. A portion of the military guard, he ; bp afterJhej^ysJjemaining prisoners, whom lie pronounces the worst of the lot, are tried and executed. .It is stated that the publication of the debates in Congress, in the Southern press, has created a great demand for the Helper-book, which can only be sup plied through the Southern members, and under cover of their own franks, as the postmasters would seize them. The members consider it a great bore. Senator Douglas, we regret to hear from Washing ton, is far from bemg a well man, and his permanent recovery is very remote, if not doubtful. His disease is.said to be gout in the stomach. His purpose of going to Florida is prevented by his inability to travel at present, though it is his purpose to go South as soon as he is strong enough to travel. Mr. Rembrandt Peale, the venerable and distin guished artist, whose portrait of Washington, painted from life, and the great picture of the “ Court of Death,” are well known, is lying ill at Stonington, Connecticut, where he stopped on his way home from a visit to Boston. He was attacked with a se vere bilious disorder. His son-in-law, Dr. Griscotn, of New York, was telegraphed for, and has returned with the intelligence that the worst symptoms of*the disorder are alleviated, and that a fair prospect of recovery is entertained. Mr. Peale will be eighty two years of age on the 22d of February next. Helper has sent a splendidly bound copy of the unabridged edition of his “Impending Crisis” to Missouri Clark, with a letter, returning that gentle man his sincere thanks for the magnificent advertise ments he has bestowed, free of charge, upon his hook. The Newark (N. J.) Mercury says: The searlet fever has been making sad havoc among children, in our city for some weeks past. One physician daring the last six or eight weeks, has had 36 cases under his care. In one instance four little ones in one family Were away by the scourge. In another, two were carried off, and both parents have been prostrated. The disease is of an unusually malignant type.' The Nashville (Tonn.) Gazelle says that the bill introduced into the Legislature, a few Weeks since, compelling all free negroes to leave:the State, is de clared to be unconstitutional, both by the opinion of eminent lawyers and of the people. There were one hundred and eighty:eighk_ini» E =- mehfstn'thecity oFPhiMelpßfesSfweeS, the same number as for the previous week.

The Whig says the appropriation is not approved by the people of Richmond. There are it appears two medical men in the coun cil, one of whom opposed the vote in an eminently sensible speech, which disposes very happily of the absurd and foolish affair. The Doctor very perti nently inquires. “Are the Southern students paupers, are they mendicants, that the city should be called upon to pay their expenses? Have they no parents, no guardians, that this charity should be offered ? And if the Council have charities to bestow, are there not worthy objeets in our midst to receive it? He did not like that word in the resolution, ‘constrained.’ How were they constrained to leave the Northern Colleges? He had seen no action there to constrain them to leave. True, Abolition meetings had been held in the North, but Abolition meetings had been frequently held there for years. When he was a student similar meetings were held, but he did not feel constrained to return home by any such action. If there were other reasons for this constraint, he had not heard what they were, and should like to be informed.” Blurring?. LONABAUGH —ELD RIDGE.

Two of this fa mily have died within a period of less than six months; and in both cases there was a very remarkable, display of the sustaining power of Christian faith when “heart and flesh faileth.” However blessed and comforting the closing scenes of the life of the former, in the latter there were still'fuller and more convincing and joyful evidences that those who trust in Jesus will find that faith to make them “strong to meet death;” happy in anticipation of the reward that awaits them in heaven. At the time of his being taken ill, he was a member of the Junior Class of the Michigan State University. The: “American Presbyterian ” of this date.(Dec. 29,) in acknowledging in the reeeipts of the “Philadelphia Education Society,” omitted to print the amount received from the Darby Presbyterian Church.

Much has been said of the Eastern Esculapitts’ labois for the sick; not one half has yet been told of the indo mitable perseverance of this singular man. Imbued with the conviction that Scrofula is the parent of disease, he has been years engaged in searching the boundaries of the earth, for its antidote. With vast labor has he canvassed the products ofsea and land, through both continents until he has discovered that combination of remedials which expurges this human rot and corruption from the sys tem.
