recent action of the Presbytery of ,Troy, on his mi

from the Presbytery's decision to the Synod - a Al

The grounds of hill appeal are,
Ist. Irregularity in the proceedings of the Presby
tery.
2d. That the charges were not sustained.
3d. That the final vote, of Cdeposition declares the
accused to be "partiallyinsane, .or sadly wanting in
moral integrity," without determining which of the
two, and because it (impliedly, if not positively,) de
clares insanity t, be sufficient reason - for deposition

state of things in, the localities affected. • The North
ern Visitor and Vermont Messenger, two Methodist
papers, abound in violent discussions on the subject.
It is claimed by ministers affected by the change that
the General Conference transcended its legitimate
powers when it undertook to divide an Annual Con
ference that did not wish to be divided.
The South-East-Border:—The- agitation on the
Geieral Conference and its action on slavery is
spreading, and deepening. Dr. Bond is jubilant over
the prospect of secession, and Over the idea that those
who'differ froin' him in - opinion are few in number—
so few that "they might hold a mass meeting in an
omnibus, and give seats to Spectators." We think
now that the Baltimore Conference will secede and
set up for herself, forming an, intermediate and inde
pendent organization between the M. E., Church and
the M. E. Church, South.—Pittsburg Christian
vacate.
The South-West Border,—The St. Louis corres
pondent of Zion's Hernlct, says—
our own border, so far as we can learn, unani
mously "accept the' well-considered action of the
General. Conference on the, subject of slavery," and
find in consequence, that "peace and 'quiet reign
throughout all our borders."
•Dr. DlVOlintoci.—We learn that Dr. WCHaack
and filthily arrived safely in. Paris on the 28th of
June. Ile commenced- his pastoral ; labors in the
American Chapel, July Bth, under the most favorable
auspices.
- Southern Methodist Chiliel—Hair years. ago
the Trustees of Florence Wesleyan Institute deter
mined to inaugurate the Chair of Biblical Literature,
so soon as the needful funds could be raised. One
person has , contributed $lO,OOO, and a few thousand
more haye been subscribed, but $lO,OOO are still lack-
Lag to complete the endorsement.
The Keiducky Conference resolved to endeavor
to double its Contributions to the Missionary,Society
tie ensuing year.. They, were $2364.60 last Year.
Rev. W. A. Dod, rector elect of Trinity. Church,
Princeton, was on Trinity Sunday advanced to the
Priesthood at Burlington.
, Episcopal Church Oregon.—A correspondent
of the,N. Y. Churchman, writes:-
1. Our whole action, as far as this coast is concerned,.
has been characterized by a; series of blunders, which
; would have been deemed unpardonable among busi.
ness men: for instance, suppose a staff.of clergymen
had entered with the Bishop-- r now, instead of many
sectarian denominations desolating societyWith:their
contentions, alienating.the minds of -the masses; by
preaching. politics,.etc., instead of Christ and' Him
crucified; the Church of the Living God, the Pillar
and Ground of the Truth, "would have been firmly
I rooted, and her influence silently employed," leaven:
ing the whole lump.
In the extension of the Chu'rch On . this coast, we
might have learned a lesson from the sects ; they sent
both, men and money, and as a consequence, are mow
wealthy and flourishing, compared with the Church.
"Red Tape and Rovrnot to do it," has governed.her
directors.

Sale of Consecrated Churehee.—Our high church
• <
friends are sadly embarrassed in disposing of con
seerated..buildings. .Trinity Church in New York
city, holds mortgages on several buildings to prevent
such sale, but her policy is by no means uniform.
We read of a church in that city, Christ Church, on
which Trinity had' a mortgage, and which had been
twice consecrated, but all was unavailing, and to the
great horror of high churchmen, Trinity consented
to the sale and desecration of the building, and trans
ferred the mortgage to the new. hurch in. Eighteenth
street. When that consecrated buildingitvas sold to
the Baptists, Trinity again transferred her mortgage
to the newest chnrcirron Thirty-fourth street.
Nebraska.—The Missionary Bishop Talbot, has
fixed his residence at Nebraska city; and, we under
stand, left Indianapolis with his'family,on the 23d of
July.
Gog. - and , Magog.—The Banner of the Crass
gravely teaches that the Non-episcopal ; ".sects,"---
Pretbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, eto.,--" are the
Gog and. Magog or , the Bible. Gog Means to cover;
and schism has covered the truth and true God like
a eloud or lecusts. Magog is the dissotned; and truth
has wasted before their power little by little, until
the unity of . the 'essence, and the nature of the 'per
sonality of The true God, no longer exists among
them."
Missinnkry Conventions.—ln order to bring the
subject of Missions more fully before the people; it is
designed by the West Susquehanna, Classis to hold
special - meetings for this, purpose: 'Classis divided
its territory,into , three districts, and made it the duty
of its ministers to bold Missionary, ,Conventions, for
the . purpose of awakening a. grinder interest ir*balf,
oftljh cause 'orkissions, and' the =other benevolent
enterprises of the Church, in the hearts of our people:
The exercises during such meetings,' will have refe- -
renee to the, - subject of benevolence in general, and
efforts will be made to enlist the sincere and lasting
interest of all, in behalf of the high and holy cause •
of the Lord Jesus:-Ger. lifeisenger. ,
Baptists in Kansas.—A. correspondent of the
TiFes of Chicago, Baia
"The Baptist denomination in this Territory is
still in its infancy, and has to contend with many
diffoillti* , aMong Othori; is the fact that there are
so many divisions of Baptists--so-called: Free Will,
Union Baptists, Hard Shells, &ie.,. &c: But notwith
standing, there is an open field for us to labor in; and
thank God we hai'e Smile choke spirits and wen of
talent, wholire doing a good work now. I attended
the Baptist Convention, held at .A.tcbinson in June
last. There were eighteen oidained ministers in at

Prof. Htmtington and • the Baptists.--At the
Massachusetts Convention of Sabbath School Teach
ers, recently held at . Worcester, - Prof..Hunt.ington i
by, invitation, read an Essay on the.relations'of the
Sabbath School to the Church; in which there were
pnekiges uppn the duty of the church to the children,
decidedly antagonistic to the peculiar view&of the
Baptists on this point. As the Convention was upon
the Union - basis, these brethren have ta6n offence at
what they deem the discourteinis exhibition of secte.-
rianisin on the part of -the professor. Henry Hoyt,

anniversary held in 'Belfast June 20th, which wee at
tended by an immense concourse; a great number of
interesting and satisfactory , reports of the moral and
`spiritual condition of the revived districts were made;
including the testimony of the Bishop , of Down.
The Hon. and Bev:H.:Wood mentioned of his ei
perienee that, compared with ;fernier. times, the pro
portion of those who serve thelLord is of ten ta 'one
that old people are now learning to read, parentii"rire
more-alive to their dornettie'd9ties,-there is-far more
peace and comfort under the - IpoOr man's roof and. .'a
`much better system of economy. -
This testimony to theSe 'indirect results is all 'the
more 'Valuable, as it Was 'asserted in some qiiarters,
that the tendency of the Bevis - rid must be to interfere
with rancial duties, . and to„ introduce a lower and
'laxer tone of morality, untlorthe pretenee,of a higher
spirituality.

The gas is the product of rosin and water., The

uettation

which impelled a man to . .the .commission of suicide
were often justifiable.: Although the Decalognecom
mended us to condemn the crime, yet in many Cases
our own nature sanctioned it. At the conclusion' of
his remarks,' the sPeaker was greeted with leng-eee•
tinned applause, showing 'that suichie is rather popular
subject.
WhereupOn the Christi/in ,Chrorticle of this ,city perti
anntly asks: ;.
We'would like to know what officer of this school
was en - :recreant •;of his, plain duty , as to permit-the
preparation and delivery of an oration whose sen
timents are in direct violation of all that is sacred in
public morals, to say nothing of its gross attack upon
the feelings and principles of the Christian public who
sustain these public schools. We would like to know
who is responsiblefor this public disgrace! Can these
striplings on' ,every commencement occasion, come
before the persons who give them their education
gratuitously and deal out their thin dilutions of infi
delity and immorality, and is no one responsible? Who
are the men to whom are intrusted the education of
our youth? We hope that this glaring and offensive
transaction connected with the commencement of the
Central High School will be looked into, and that
merited punishment may overtake the officer upon
whoni the blame justly falls.
