First Presbyterian Ohnrob, San Francisco.— This Church has at last_placed itself virtually out of debt. Nearly $50,000 have been expended on their house and lat. A debt of only .$13,000 remains, which has been placed in the Savings and Loan So oiety's Bank. ,Of this amount, the interest and a part of the principal are paid every month. In about three years the whole will/be - wiped away. As a proolof the real life , and spirit. which pervade ; this church, we would state that the payment of the debt is 'being made without touching the ,receipts of the ordinary incorati , ef the church. A monthly subscrip 7 , tion for this purpose is provided, and every member; of the church and congregation has gone into the work heartily; even the scholars of the Sabbath school have assumed their share of the bifiden. They look upon the church as soon to be theirs; they are to ououpy it and holdit, when their fathers and mothers, who built it; have passed awn ~ and so have resolved. identif , themselves • s • • ^ yie c tr w en they are men. The ourrent income has, from the opening of the new house of worship, been more than sufficient to. defray pastor's salary and all other expensed of the church, but has not been able to meet, in addition; the heavy interest on the debt. But now that the debt is provided for by the extra subscription, the congregation is virtually free from debt. In addition to this evidence of prosperity, the congregation is in creasing in numbers and strength, and enjoys in a very great degree that union and cordiality which belongs to a homogeneous body. The pastor is strongly sustained by his whole church as an ex pounder of those. great doctrines of Christianity which' are the safe guards of the nation as well as of the Church. It is a true church, rind down to the millennium may it grow, live and prosper.--Pacific. Qu the Subject of Imputation—one of the most important points of Christian theology Albert Ikutrtes says: "I have examined all the passages in the Old.,Tes tanint,'and, as the result of myexamination,lave come to the conolualon that there i s riot one in which the word , is need in the sense of reckoning or imputing to a man that which does nut strictly belong to him; or of charging on hiai that which ought not to be charged on him as a matter of personal right. The word is never used to denote imputing in the sense of transferring, or of charging that on one which does'het properly' belong to' him. The same is the case in the NOW Testament."—Teteseope, Dayton, 0. Rev. 14 1 . Labe, having changed hia residence from Portland, Chant. Co., N. Y., to Canistee, Stew- ben County, N. Y., wishes his letters directed to him accordingly. Rev. Thomas Brainerd, D. D.—The City item, a respectable weekly journal of this city, prefaces an abstract of a recent discourse of B's., with smile interesting remarks touching the'eharacter and rela . .. tive prospects of the two leading branches of the Presbyterian Church, and concerning the preacher and his charge, which we give below: Among the Presbyterian clergymen of Philadel phia, there is quite a number who are acknow ledged on all sides as men of eminent ability and su perior attainments. They form of themselves the best portion of what may be balled the educated mi nistry of the city. The remark is not intended to apply exclusively to that branch denominitted, be cause ikb progressivenraemr—Nave-Sekonl. though web elieve that t e Uld and New ohms, the predominance of talent exists in the latter. The system of training to' which the rip:pilot:at for orders in the Old Schoo lis submitted, offers a sufficient bar rier ngainst the reception of candidates who are men tally unfit for the duties of a minister of the Gospel. Yet in its ranks-are to be found men who, while their ifitlente are , admitted to be of the first order, are still in a certain sense somewhat behind the age. -Old School Presbyterianism has around it an ancient order s It had attractions for the Puritans of old. hi 'stern 'Code of morality was in accordance with the reeolute, determined piety of the old Covenanters of Scotland. But the prestige of its great name is slowly fading away. Its mode of development is not ',doh as one would suppose could harmonize with the institutions of reptiblican government. In this coun try it is devoid of enthusiasm and 'vivacity. We look rather to New School Presbyterianism for these traits, and are not disappointed in our search. The Presbyterian Oherips of Philadelphia are thus divided:— New School, eighteen churches, thirty-one minis ters; Old School, thirty-three churches, thirty-three 'ministers. It will be perceived that the number of churches belonging to the Old School branch is nearly double the New School. Among the ministers attached to the first class, n'ens, perhaps,_ hold higher rank than the Rev. Thos. Brainerd, D. D„ pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church. Dr. Brainerd has been attached to his.pre sent congregation for upwards of twenty-three years, during which time the most cordial sympathy has proVailed between the pastor and his charge. Their church edifice is nearly a century old. The foundation stone was laid in times when our good city made no pretension to cope, as it now does, with the largest and most influential in the world. On the roll of the members of this church may be found many of'Philadelphia's , honored dead. Rev. R.

ITnien Church, St. Louis.—Thie church, in' Ja• teary last, was received upon its application, into the Old Sobool Presbytery of St,. Louis. According to , the St.• Louis Presbyterian of our Union, they had with difficulty been able to sustain themselves, and took the step under the individual assurance of ac cessions to their number, each as would sustain 'and give them enlarged ability to carry on their church, and serve the cause of Christ. Their pastor, Rev. J. J. Porter, bus recently fol lowed them. Among other remarks made by Mr. P., at the occasion of withdrawing from the St. Louis Presbytery, he is reported, by the same paper, .as having said that: "As he had endeavored to serve the Church of Christ in the New School connection, without being anti-Old School, so he hoed to serve in the Old School without being anti-New School.. If there was one de sire in his heart higher than another with reference to the American Presbyterian Church, it was for the spirit and the fact of Union, and -be hoped the day had nearly come when old differences would be for gotten on both, sides, and ministers could pass freely from either side to the other, as they felt called, without a storm of abuse being raised about them." A eeries of resolutions were adopted by , the St. Louis Presbytery, and remarks made by Rev. Dr. Nelson, which are thus spoken of by the same jour- Rev. Dr. Neleon•addreseed the meeting in extended remarks—they will be used, as intended, for publi cation, and we have not room for them in =tens°. In the spirit of the first resolution, be desired that t pi r , perteee request be granted—was glad to know that 13rother P., had been an earnest, faithful labo rer,. in season and out of season that he had striven zealOusly for the upbuilding of the cause he had espoused, &0., and glad to know that in going out of that body, he "endorses our faith," that he is "no limited atonement man," as many other Old School men are not—that is a doctrine not to be preached, &&—he thought the Old School Church bad injured them—they bad been called heterodox—that was not true—and mentioned as an evidence of it, this in stance of a man who was all right with them in be lief and feeling, going to the 0. S. body to be received by them he such. We learn that he spoke very fnirly In many respects, of the Old School body, while be went pretty fully into a history of that church from the Execinding Acts down to the present time—but seemed, evidently to labor to render this loss to them, or Mr, Porter, an argument for their cause. We have attempted to give an idea only of his train of re marks.

Synod of lowa.—The subjeotrivhich elicited a two days' discussion, was the site"of a denOmipational College, to be endowed by a valtable legacy by the late S. B. Parsons, his sons being ftrbiter& and exe cutors of the same. Though several of the members of Synod were very . desirous to have Kossuth and Yellow Springs deStgaated as respectively. the • site and the college, it was nevertheless decided that action on this 'Joint, at present, was both inexpedient and useless, Mr. Parsons himself being *sent, and kislo g his opinion with the Synod, as.stated shove. l'he Synod meets at Oskaloosa next year, where there is some probability the college will be located. : , ..Rev.

Testimoniel to Rev.

Protestant Churches. Tha,com miftee severely condemned the mal-practice of the government, and characterize their action as partial and outrageous. Dissolution of the Pastoral Relation.—At the meeting of the Presbytery of Philadelphia, on the 10th instant, the pastoral relation, which has subsist ed for twelve years, between the'Rev. Lewis Cheese man, D. li., and the Fourth Presbyterian Chttich, Philadelphia, was dissolved at his reqyest. Historical Discourse.--The Knoxville Presbyte rianless says Last Sabbath, 13th instant, was a day of special interest to the congregation of the Second Presbyte rian Church in this place. Their old house of wor ship is about to he torn down, preparatory to-the oc cupation of a new edifice, and this was the last - Lord's day on which it would be used. In the morning'the pastor, Rev. J. H. Martin, preached a sermon appro priate to the occasion. The text was taken from Efe brews, viii. 13: "Now that which decriyeth "and waxeth' old, is ready to vanish away." The 0, S. Synod of Philadelphia; recently in session in Germantown, agreed, after considerable disc fission, to divide the Presbyteiy of Philadelphia into two Presbyteries. A petition from the Presbytery of Northumberland was received, asking to be set off from turning the Presbyteries under the judicial control of the Synod of Philadelphia, in order that that Presb,ytery, toge ther with two at present iepresented in the Synod of New Jersey, might form a new Synod. After a -lengthy, debate, the prayer of the petitioners was • granted. .OONGREG&TIONALIST. :State of the Churches in Vermont. —Notwith standing the lack of revivals within the past year, a very good degree of prosperity has attended the Ver mont Churches. The genuineness of the revivals in 1858 and 1859, has been attested by the fidelity and perseverance of those whom they brought into the churches. The piety of these new members is very generally a working piety, and has had a good influ ence on the older members. Probably the Vermont churches have never before sustained so large a num ber of out-poet meetings, prayer meetings, and Sab bath schools, as they are now doing. The attendance on public worship is also much increased ; In some instance the increase has been quite remarkable; as, for example, in Westfield, where the attendance has nearly doubled, filling the house to its very utmost capacity. The Second Sabbath of November, A DAY 0F SPECIAL PRAYER FOR THE' OUTPOURING OF VIE HOLY SPIRIT.—At the late meeting of the Congregational Union of Canada, the following recommendation was unanimously adopted:— "Resolved, That the churches and ministers be re ' commended to observe the second Sabbath of Novem ber, as a day of,special prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our land. Forty-Four Members of Dr. Cheever's church have forwarded an address to British Christians, ex horting them not to contribute pecuniary aid to their congregation. They say:— "While we sincerely and gratefully acknowledge and reciprocate the sympathy which you express for us in the great battle of human freedom, may we not believe . that the Spirit of wisdom from on, high will lead you to see and acknowledge the propriety of non-intervention in the affairs of our individual church and society?" Rev. G. C.

LUTHERAN The -Evankelical Lutherrin Synod of Illinois passed resolutions declaring their adherence to the Augsburg. Confession. as. a basis of doctrine, adding the following— , 4. That we would respectfully•suggest to the Ge neral-Synod at its nest meeting to take into conside ration the`propriety of inserting in Art. III: Sec. 3, , or at some other suitable place in its Constitution, a distinct recognition of the Augsburg Confession, in order that no room may be left for the cavils of the opponents of the General Synod, who have repre sented if as destitute -of a distinctively Lutheran cha racter: 5. That as disciples of Christ, and `delighting more in the experience of his saving truth and life-giving grace, than in ecclesiastical disputations and doctri nal controversies, we pledge ourselves to refrain from all offensive obtrusion of known differences among us 'upon each 'other, and though differing in our in terpretation of. several points of the Confession, it shall always be our chief delight to preach the plain, practical, and saving truths of the Gostel to the end that Christian piety may be revived among our peo ple, and sinners converted to God.

A. corarnittee was appointed to settle the matter with them. . , NISCELLANEOUS The Mormons.—lf we• may rely upon the ac- counts that retch us from newspapers and ' corre spondents in relation to Utah and the state of affairs among•the Mormons, Brigham Young has very little idea at the present timeof leaving the railer of the Great Salt. Lake with his followers. In fact, a revi val of the old Mormon spirit seems to be going for ward, which is likely to lead to `amore firm e stab lishment of the Saints in that region than ever be fore. The tabernacle which, for some time after the advent of the United States troops, re.nained closed,. has recently been once more opened for public wor ship, and Brigham himself harangues the people two or thrCe titnes every Sabbath. Missionaries are also being, sent out to Europe and other countries, among whose number is the greatly celebrated Elder Orson The New York Evangelical Alliance, an or ganization based upon the midnight meeting move-. went in London, held a meeting on Thursday-eve ning, October llth, at which it was `decided to have open-air, preaching during the sprineand summer months, and for the occupation of theatres or 'halls during the winter season. One place is to be: opened upon Broadway every Sunday evening. Halls and cellars are recommended in the lower wards of this city. The members, mostly young men connected with the different evangelical churches of 'that city, have entered into the matter with spirit, and much good is now anticipated to result from this organiza tion. A Yoting Men's Christian Asscieiation has been organized in Erie, with A. McD. Lyon for I're sident. It is proposed to establish a ,LibrarY . and Reading Room, and have a course oflectures from distinguished gentlemen ; during. the, winter. , The Rev: Grattan: Guinness is soon to vial the United States. The..:4 tr o $ otober. - Mr. Guincess.was to be married on the 211 instant to Miss Fitzgerald, a near relative, of Lord Fitzgerald and Vessey, and of the Marchio ness of Ailsa. The Express adds— " Miss Fitzgerald is a most devoted Christian, and highly accomplished lady." A Prussian Clergyman has come to this coun try on a epecial mission from the religious depart meat of the governMent, to investigate the great re ligious movement of 1557-8, which still lives.in the daily anion prayer meetings. They have heard ,of the great revival in' this country, and have read our publications relating to it. The King and the peo ple feel a deep interest in the subject, andle bas been sent over here to gather up the results and learn the facts. Re has travelled.over England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, with his inquiries on his tongue. And now he is here where the revival began. Awakening Among the Friends in Eastern Ohio.—Steubenville, Ohio, Oct. 1860.—Recently the Friends or Quakers of the orthodox party held their yearly meeting at Mt. Pleasant, Jefferson county. I have heard from aflthentic sources that an unusual spirit of prayer prevailed among them. Certain eve ningswere named in which little companies met for conversation and prayer. One after another partici pated with an interest and unction never known among them before. Young men, led in prayer who' had Dever been known to pray before in public or private. These vocal prayers and praises were pro longed, in some instances, till after midnight. Even then they seemed reluctant to adjourn. For many years these people have annually met'at this Jerusa lem of theirs. They have had their controversies, divisions and troubles; but ,this year the Spirit of the Lord met them, and they found it good to be there.—N. Y. Observer. Contributions for the rope.—The Roman Ca tholics of the diocese of Philadelphia, have contri buted $24,91'7, 33 for the relief of the Pope. Neglect of Ordinanees.—On the occasion of the celebration of the communion service by the Univer salist Convention in Boston, the preacher stated that threo•fourths of their congregations neglect' this or dinance altogether. The Universalist Denomination, whose repre sentative men are now in Boston from all parts of the country, in National Convention assembled, extends over all sections`of the Union. It has 692 preachers, 969 meeting-houses, and 1276 societies. In twenty two of the States, Conventions are annually held, and in fifteen of the States, there, are organizations; for various moral and religious purposes. Its distinctive theology is advocate,d in seventeen periodioals,. and taught in three colleges, a theological school, and six academies. ; -A Ilinister Speaking from an Immense Speak ing Trumpet.—llearing in large churches, accord ing to the New York Eventing Post, is now made as easy as in the smallest, by the success of an experi ment just completed in Trinity Church, in this city. consists of a paraboloidal reflector of sound, placed at the back of the pulpit, of which the speaker's mouth is the focus. A beam of sound about ten feet in diameter, is thus thrown to the most remote point of the church, and by its side-flow fills the whole body of the building. The structure is quite orna mental, and in harmony with the general architecture of the building. All great public buildings, whether for singing or speaking, may have a similar arrange. ment adapted to their use. The whole of the rear end of a building like the Academy of Music should be on% paraboloidal surface. It is particularly suita ble for legislative halls, as it works both ways. A person standing at the furthest door in Trinity Church can carry on a conversation with one in the pulpit in the lowest tones, even in a whisper. Any person well acquainted with the higher mathematics and accustomed to make constructions in architec ture, engineering or machinery, is competent to su perintend such an erection. The one in TrinitY Church was put. up under the supervision of Profea tier Hackley, of Columbia College, in this city. No Shaving on. Sunday.—The principal bar hers in Bangor, Me., give - notice that they shall not manipulate the faces of customers on Sunday; also, that they shall prosecute any of the fraternity who shall do so. Imbeciles on Randall's Island.—A movement is making in several of the New York journals, for the improvement of the condition of the idiotcbildron, nearly forty in number, now at the Nursery on Ran dall's Island. Such an enterprise meets th,4 heartiest sympathy, of every philanthropic heart. That the condition of most of these children can be greatly im proved, admits of no doubt; that some of them may become intelligent and capable of taking care of themselves, the wonderful change effected in two of them, (Natty and Willie) taken from there in 1831, and educated in'the State Asylum, at Syracuse, abun dantly proves. .+@.. «.... ~ `.t;L:r6e3.i~T , tkl:~sMkß2~R :e"o~.A~*:.-y~u.'4iti9 ,. - : ~., FOREIGN.

Three men Isaac Helms; of the proprietor,) Daniel iIl Brown' and Wm. Smith, were at work in the second story of the fao tory,,pumping petroleum 011/from one large tank, to another. In the course of their labor, one of them held an uncovered lamp over the tank, when instantly the whole mass of oil ignited with the rapidity of gunpowder, enveloping the whole building in Niles. Helme sprang to the Window, and escaped by setking a rope and lowering himself to the ground. He was severely burned about the hands and face. The whole building was completely destroyed, to gether with the machinery and apparatus, tanks, stills, &c., and abOut two thousand five hundred gal lons of. oil. The loss will amountlo between thirty and forty thousand dollars, upon which there is not a dollar of insurance. The Mercantile Reputation of Philadelphia. The develand Herald of October 18th, says: ".We welcome these gentlemen; (i. a the , - excursion of the business men,) as the represenfOres of oneof the finest cities of the world„apd4AelongingJo a class of business men that have the legard of all who ri spect upright dealing. Philadelphia, when spoken of in its business capacity, is synonymous with honor, and her example relieves the American name from much of the odium that often attaches to a coin mereial people." „ Robbed His rather.—A boys named Edward Mc- Cabe, sixteen years of age, was arrested on Saturday, on the charge of having, at various times, robbed the house of his father, in South stfeet, below Sixth, of property worth seven hundred dollars. Several men and boys are charged with having shared the phinder. Serious Altercation.—We are sorry to be obliged to record an unpleasant scene which took place. in Walnut street. Mr. George Presbury, the landlord of the Girard House, had some altercation with one of the Messrs. Edwards, who, it appears, in the course of the argument struck Mr. P. with a cane, upon which Mr, Presbury drew pistorand fired twice. • GENERAL. Kidnapping Case in Illinois.--Chiesgo,Oct.. j 5. An outrageous ease of kidnapping has just transpired at Galena, Illinois.. *negro man named Jerry Boyd, aged' orty-five years, his wife, a mulatto, aged-thirty five years, and their daughter, .aged fourteen years, were induced to g,o-to lowa, ttm,latter part of Sep tember, to work on a farm.. =Pa the Bth of this month the man was found near lowa Citt murdered. It is supposed that, becoming suspicious their MoVe inents, he was killed by`the kidnappers, so that - they might retain possession of the Women. The" citizens of Galena have offered a reward of five hundred dol lars for the apprehension Of the , kidnappers.

The Supreme Court has decided that the statute,of 1860 , in its application to persons under conviction at, the time of its passage, is unconstitutional' and 'void, as ex post facto, bedame' it prescribes a different and increased punishment -from that in force at the time When .the offence was committed. To the punishment of death it super-, adds one year's imprisonment at hard labor. The Courkalso expressed the opinion that the new law, having abolished the only statute kfining hanging as the mode of punishment, and itself prescribing no new mode; there is now no known sentence which can' be pronounced . againsta person convicted of mur-: der in the first degree. Telegraph Line . to California.--Privite _enter prise is constructing link after: link-. Of. a': telegraph line to connect St. Louis and San ,Franoisco. .By the advicee received by the last steauter, we ,see that the wires , have, already been extended, a distance of five hundred miles east of San Franciaco, to LOs An gelos. The difficulties which have attended the work are recorded in the California press. Many of the poles were transported four hundred miles; at-tin'expense often dollars each, and:the employ& ; labored-when the thermometer, stood one hundred and ten degrees in the,shade. Much„of thd country on the route was barren of water and timber. Railroad.

Wheit—Sinde the first of August, there has been received at Milwaukee and Chfcago:no leis thin ten Iranian bushelgof Wheat. Sitiowthe:stente dak there hasibeen received- at Buffalo -nine.million bushels; The Buffalo Com9 . nercial says:.. :Wheat is hardly .a moiety of the grain trade, even when We include with it the receipts of flour. Thus, reducing flour to wheat, our total grain receipts, froth the'opening'of 'nafigation to the close of last' week, have been 26,804;270 bushels. We estimate the year's receipts of grain at this port, at not less than 32,000,000 bushels of cereals. The. Prince of Wales left Boston in .a - special train, on Saturday morning, Oct. 20th, , at half past 9 o'clock.., : fle was escorted to the depot,by a troop of Lancers. On the arrival of, the party at Portland they were received by the Mayor, and escorted:to the carriage which had been 'assigned to thern. The pro cession flied started: ' After traversing several streets, they reached the landing, from which. they were to embark for' their- vessel. The day was excessively cold i ;and ty strong northeast wind was blowing, eon sequently,the ride was,bp no means pleasant. The party immediately entered, the barge._ of the Hero, amidst the roaring of cannon and Commenced their return journey to England: FOREIGN The Papal ,States.—The Pope bas written yet another prOtest denouncing Sardinia, and appealing to the Catholic Powers for protection to his tiara and possessions. Napoleon bad replied, reaffirming his theory of non-intervention, and coldly hinting to his Holiness the. propriety of taking care of, himself. Spain had proposed a Congress of Catholic Powers to `take the matter into consideration, and determine upon what was best to be done with the Pope'. The proposition, however, bad as:yet brought no response.' The only provinces left to the. Papal Government are Civita Vecchia, Frosinone and Velletria. There' have been some mOdifications in Garibaldi's Ministry, to meet the views of the Neapolitans. I3ertani has been dismissed. A better feeling now exists between Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel. The latest despatches from the seat of war say that the Piedmuntese Lancers galloped close to the gates of Rome in their pursuit of the Pontifical troops. ' The Cologne Gazette publishes the text of the offi cud note from Lord John Russell, warnina b Sardinia against attacking the possessions of Austria Fe ni tin. Condition of Venice—A correspondent of the Letnion Times writes from Vienna, Sept. 20th `The political excitement in Venice is very great, m'purchase; o Tem in fy ardmi; g asf been, broached, and jt is hinted that Napoleon wishes the Austrian Emperor to dispose of it for $120,000,000. At the close of the war it seetlis'that Francis Joseph would hive taken $200,000,000, but the amount was considered too great by Sardinia by one-half, and ac cordingly the bargain fell to the ground. Pride and chagrin now will operate at Vienna, and although' the retention of the province beggars Austria and threat ens to delUge Europe with blood, nothing will be done so simple and so common-sense as to transfer it for a fair equivalent.. Syria.—Letters froni Syria say that many addi tional arrests of distinguished Chiefs had produced a panic, among the Druses concerned in the massacre of the Christians. The Monileur.sass:--" The affairs of Syria have entered on a new phase. Military action will now be exercised by our troops. Some other chiefs have been arrested and tried at:l3cyrout." Bankrupt Austria.—Upon the ability of Austria to fight now mainly rests the great question of peace or war in Europe. That is, upon her pecuniary abi lity. There is no knowing what foolish attempts may be made by the Emperor of Austria, inheriting all the obstinacy and pride of his race, to regain Lombardy, to restore the runaway Grand Dukes, to bolster up the Papal sovereignty and, perhaps, to restore the fugitive King of Nap es. But want of money is likely to be a great impediment to all, or any, of these attempts., The finances of the Austrian Em pire are in a dreadfol state of confusion, and these complications have brought it next door to bank ruptcy. , Rothschild and Baring are not likely, under Such circumstances, to lend any more Money to Aus tria. - Should the Empire break up, which is probe blcr enlh, the great money-lenders may have to whistle their debt. The Litest, by the City of Washington, which passed Cape Race on the 23rd, at midnight. The news is three days later than was furnished by'the steamship Arabia, and confirms.the report of Garibaldi's great victory. The battle was fought at Volturno. The details of the fight describe it as a protracted and bloody strug gle. The Neapolitan forces were drivenlidek in dia. : order to,Capua.' Their losses are estimated at 3000 killed, besides 5000 who were taken prisoners. The loss on Garibaldi's side was estimated atlrom 1200 to 2000. • There had been. no military movements `reported since. the_battle, and the affairs of the Papal States are unchanged." NOTICES.
