ours. We* are therefore sending out a number 1 of
such missives with our paper every week. Their
value, however, depends wholly upon the manner
in whlahi stbay are regarded by the receivers. We

THE fIEKEBJL^ ACTION OH
The Standing Committee on Education for
the ministry to whom was referred tfter'epbft of
the Committee on the same "subject;
respectfully submit the following reports •
The attention of the Assembly is called to
the Occasion of gratitude to the great Head of’
the Church for the increasing interest which is
felt in this cause throughout our Chutch, for
the continued prosperity of our Theological
Seminaries, and especially for the success which
has attended the efforts to enlarge the endow
ments of Auburn and Lane Seminaries. :
At the same time we are called upon for
more earnest prayer to the Lord Of the
in riew of the fact that the whole number of
stndents in these institutions, and so far as we
can learn, the whole number of candidates for
the ministry in any stage W their education, is
scarcely at air in advance of that Of the pre
ceding year. The number entering the minis,
try of our Church, from year to year, is. entirely
inadequate to meet the demands for our own
home field—even if we should do nothing to- !
ward furnishing a supply for foreign lands.
While as an Assembly we are endeavoring to
awaken in all onr Churches a deeper interest
both in foreign and domestic missions, it should
not be forgotten that that interest must necessa
rily be bat transient Unless we have men to send
abroad who shall constitute our best and strong
est bonds of union with far distant lands ; and
men to cultivate the new fields which may be.
opened and occupy the new churches which may
be formedathame. All our attempts to* enlarge!
our borders and to gafter new ehurches
means of exploring missionaries are greatly em
barrassed, and many of them rendered compara
tively useless, by the want of men, to enter the
fields as permanent laborers. This, so far as
instrumental agency Is concerned, is emphati
cally onr great WaUti That this want may'he
rapidlyittppiled—-let all Christians be exhorted
to remember the command of the Master in
their families and in their social circles—“ Pray
ye the Lord of the harvest,” Ac. 1
The labors of the Permanent Committee
through their Secretary, have done much to
deepen the interest on this subject in 'the
Churches, Presbyteries and Synods, and espe
cially among the young men in the various
institutions which he has visited; Your Com
mittee are persuaded that'if the condition of
this whole Cause at this time could be compared
with what it was four years ago when the labors
commenced the Assembly and the Churches
would feel that the money necessary to sustain*
them could not have been better expended, and
that their labors must on no account be diseon~
tinned. Their report 1 has already informed, yon
of the embarrassment under which they have
labored, on account of the fact that the interest
in the cause “has gathered itself aronnd local
centres” instead of aronnd one common centre,
so that what they have done cannot be em
bodied and made manifest to the Church at
large.
The most serious question which presses upon
the minds of your Committee is—can these
causes of embarrassment and difficulty be. re
moved—wholly or in part ? . j
They believe that they can be removed, and
that it is the sincere desire of all parts of thp
Church that they should be.
Therefore,
1. Resolved that the Permanent Committee
continue their work as heretofore! and that
they be instructed at an early day, to revise the
present plan of th® Assembly, and; submit the
revised plan to the Presbyteries with the ear-'
nest request that they express their views and
wishes concerning it to the Permanent Com
mittee previous to the meeting of the next As
sembly ; and that Albert Batoes, I>. : H. Allen,
Ezra A. Huntington and Henry B. Smith, be
appointed to confer with Said committee coh
cerning the revision of the plan.'
2. Thaßhis Assembly are gratified to learn
that the Permanent Committee have begpn to
aid students from theirown tseesifry« a hd;thkt

that tJKMwmrj

, A stranger said, President Dwight was in the
habit of saying to his graduating classes as they left
college, “It is not your great talent or your great
learning that enables, you to do the most good in the
world. Dr. Nettleton, from whom we expected but
little while in college, as he was apparently a dull
student, has done more good than hundreds have: ac
complished; though with brighter talents and more
polished intellects. The secret was, he abode in

The Illinois CongregationalConvention.— This
body convened on the 24th of May, in the‘town of
Aurora. Resolutions were passed, proposing to re
investigate the whole affair of Knox. College, and
appointing a Committee of three to meet a similar
.committee on the part of the College, if such should
be appointed, but if not, to meet the; allegations of
Professor Bailey’s pamphlet as it may be deemed
best. . ;
The American Missionary Union and its operations
in our own country, and in foreign lands, were com*,
mended to the confidence and hearty co-operation of
the friends of Christ. Resolutions were also passed 1
urging the most extreme measures on the part of the’
American Home Missionary Society towards any re
ligious denomination which, under any arrangement
whatever, withdraws its own resources from the So
ciety for denominational purposes. -The editor of
the Congregational Herald, from whieh we quote, in ;
another place says:
“Meanwhile we use such means as we may to or
ganize congregational churches without violating
good faith. Our success," even in the face of Presby
terian Church Extension. Agency, is seen in the 18
new churches which we have this last year organized
in-this state,—making our present, number abou
two hundred.” *
T-hia,is, precisely the work of ourJCoromittee, and
£ood faith is no more violated in the one case than
in the other. ' ; ■ ! ■

of a genera! interest disposed of by this body:

devise ways of bringing to the notice of theehurches
the interest they have in it, is hereby recommended
to the* different Presbyteries in connexion with the
United Synod. ' ■ '
The Theologicai, . Semihakv.'— Br. Boyd reported
that from 162.000 to $64,000 of the needed'one hun
dred thousand dollars had been subscribed. Building
lots have been offered them in Charlottesville, and
the buildings -would have been r commenced but for,
the refusal of the Board of Visitors of the. Virginia
University to grant to the Students, of the Seminary
gratuitous admission to the lectures of the University..
It is expected that the new Board will grant the
privilege. \ s "
■ Mlrxvii.'lk College.— -M£.Jarnaigm read the re
portof the Committee ori Maryville College. ’They
recommend the purchase-of; a new lot, and the erec
tion of buildings; also, the creation of two new Pro
fessorships in the college; also, some changes in the
mode of the investment of the endowment fund. The
report was accepted, and referred to the Standing
Committee on Education.

Arrival op the Japanese in Philadelphia.—
These foreigners, the object of great and very proper
curiosity, arrived in our pity on Saturday afternoon
of last week. They passed along several of the prin
cipal streets in their route, and the day being cool
and favorable, the populaee poured oat in vast throngs
to see them.
They were escorted by ah imposing array of the
military, and the spectacle of„■the procession passing
by one of the principal intersections, as at Broad and
Arch streets, bad not a- little of grandeur in it.. The
strange faces of these swarthy wanderers from the
remote East, the. bond of unity which tbey came to
confirm.between their own roysterious .and interesting
country and our own, the immense and; eager multi
tude swaying to and fro like waves of the sea, some
times threatening' a terrible crush, the long files of
troops, 'with banners and drums, and inspiring strains
of music, all joined to form a pageant of uncommon
and thrilling interest. ;
And the. Japanese:..one involuntarily; asks, as he
contemplates their physique, " these, truly spe
cimens of the; highest- classes of that nation?” A
half bleacbe'd American Indian would be disgraced
by 'comparison with them! It: is not only the bony
contour of the Mongol couritenance,’or its ashy hue,
but it is the lack of rounding fulness of muscle and
of adipose matter, that put them at such disadvan
tage in comparison with almost any of the crowd along
their route. Such hollow cheeks, such skinny, livid
fingers : and. the entire'frame-work of the mehj feom
pared with the well-developed, manly forms of the
ds.at their side, how effeminats and
lode of wearing the hair adds to the
®8 of their faces. The front and top
>: shaven,and the back hair allowed- to
.hen tied up in a longitudinal shape,
half knot and half curl, and laid lengthwise on the
top of the head. . ‘ ‘
Rei.ioious interference with them prohibited.—
The following is.frpm ’Washington :, ...
Sundry persons here.having, interested themselves
in'the spiritual welfani of the ; Japanese, they hnyb
formally declined all religious communication on the
ground that: but one religion is known and recog
nised'by the laws of Japan, and they are'forbidden 1
in ahy-manher to : 'take part or be present alt the ce?
lehratibn of any other. They, however, express their
acknowledgment for the interest and kind attention'
of their. American friends. ;
.After this expression of their views, they were as
sured that while it was tbo duty of the officer in
charge, to communicate to them, the fact of the offers
of religious, books and invitations to attend places of
worship.it was not the desire of the Government in,
■anyway to. forbe their inclinations, and; that their :
wishes would Tie respected; atTwhich assurance they
expressed their gratification. • •; < ' . .
Tornadoes,— The past fortnight has' been prolific;
of violent and. destructive commotions among the
elements.; Whole towns have been demolished, and
scores; of lives.lost, in itbe twinkling of’an eye, by
these fearful scourges of the Almighty. Below we,
give a compendious account of them:
A despatch from Cattaraugus, N. Y., dated May
31st, says— .. . ’
A tornado passed oyer this, place,at about half past
four o’clock, yesterday > afternoon, sweeping every
thing before it, entirely destroying six dwellings,

Maffit, of the U. S, steamer Crusador. The vessel
and negroes were carried to Key West on the 2Sth.
FOREIGN
Slieily. —The frightened despot of Naples has been
attempt! ng to prop his desperate cause by lying bul
letins, asserting that bis troops had beaten Garibaldi
in two engagements and slain one of the rebel officers.
But the candle-moulder of Staten Island has proved
more than a, match for tbei infamous Bourbon.
The first encounter between the patriots under
Garibaldi, and the Royalist troops occurred while the
latter were concentrating themselves upon Palermo
and Messina., General' -Landf could,note resist the
vigorous attack, and fied to Palermo, leaving behind
him four guns, 100 dead, and a great' many wounded.
Daring bis two days’ march to gain that city, he was
harassed on all sides by the population, and hbtlv
pursued by Garibaldi’s then.
It is further said that Garibaldi, who has assumed
the office and responsibility of Dictator, on behalf of
the Sardinian Government, has entered Palermo at
tile lie ad of nine-thousand,men,besides cavalry, and
that the Neapolitan troops in that city, had laid down
their arms amidst; the extraordinary enthusiasm of
its two hundred thousand; inhabitants; This latter
important information is from Genoa. The Paris
correspondent of the Express (Evening Daily News,)
is satisfied of its correctness. The correspondent of
the Times in that city is certain “ that no news of an
- opposite kind has been received”—while the same
journal’s correspondent in Vienna, though he con
siders the report,premature, mentions that the pre
valent opinion in the latter capital is, that “Sicily is.
lost to .the Bourbons;!”
Another,despatch, says Garibaldi’s movements, in
Sicijy are for the purpose of making that island the,
basis, or subsequent operations against Naples.
A Cork paper of the 25th ult. says that the Ame
rican- barque Charles B'. Truitt, which-for six months
had been lying at Queenstown, had sailed for Liver
pool. She was freighted with rifles by the Garibaldi
Committee of 1
The Lal^St.-— Naples, Wednesday May 30—Nine
o’clock, A. M.—The bombardment of Falermo. lasted
several hours.
Garibaldi entered the town on the 22d, establishing
his head-quarters in the centre of the place. The
number of killed is large. , .
France and Rnssia. —The proposal made by Rus
sia to the other Great Powers, for an inquiry into the
real condition of the Christians, in Turkey, occasions,
a frequent exchange of opinions between France and
the other Great Powers. M. Thouvenel has declared
to the Austrian ambassador that the Cabinet of the
Tuilleries has seen with regret that Russia has pre
maturely brought forward the Oriental.question; but,
as this questidh : has been officially put forward,
France considers that she acts in conformity with
the interests of Europe by associating herself with
the proposals of otherwise, a pretence
would be given to that Power to assume the exclusive
protectorate of the Christian subjects of the Sultan.
China. —The Chinese have concluded to pay the
English and French Governments their expenses and
accede to all their demands. The ports and naviga
tion of the rivers to be free.

“In this volume, the opposing arguments to pne or
two popular Baptist fictions, are presented in the style
of an interesting narrative and dialpgue, ingeniously
arranged, and forcibly and impressively put. Thp ar
guments for the pedo-baptist faith and practice are
clearly and logically set forth, with all the cbarms of a
romancer The story is attractive, ingenious and in
structive. It is just the book for general circulation,
and will be popular, and wilt prove a timely antidote
to the proselyting zeal of our Baplist friends, and will
serve to enlighten and settle wavering minds on this
subject.”—American Presbyterian.
« The arguments contained in this work were mainly
presented by the author, in a series of letters, to a sister,
designed to answer the positions of the Baptist denomi
nation, and show that their doctrines are fotmded in
error.. The argument is interwoven with a story that
relieves its abstract, and what might be otherwise to
many uninteresting characters, and will doubtless be
read where simply controversial works would not.”—
