Presbytery of Marshall.—From n communica tion of Atm U. S. Armstrong, Stated Clerk, we make the following extract, showing the action of the Pres bytery at its late meeting, January I.sth, on Home 'Missions: Early in the session, the queetion of our'Pretibyte -14111 Domestic Missions came up for discussion'under the report of the Presbyterial Committee, setting forth the condition and needs of our entire field.. It was seen at once that the American' Home Mis sionary Society, with which our body are in 00-ope ration, in good faith, had by the action of. the last "new rule" very materially changed the aspect of this question to us—leaving, according to their own interpretations, accompanying each of the bite com missions, five missionary brethren very soon with no reliable means of support, at least for a time. Our brethren looked this question fairly in the face, and resolved, after much deliberation, to act upon the !suggestion of Secretary Cue, which was to take early collections in our churches over the whole field, and apply them directly to cancel the obligations of the Society to our brethren there, sanding their receipts down to New York. But this will be a Herculean work, unless, from the Society. or elsewhere, we shall secure seine aid. From our three or four self-sup porting ehurobee, and those all small, we must raise the sum of six hundred dollars and upwards. But I believe this movement will do us good, even though for a time we should be left to suffer, and some of our feeble churches be' deprived of a preached gos pel. It will develop our strength, and unite it, too. If, as some have ventured more than half to suspect, there is a desire in some quarters to drive out from the old family hearth the elder brother, though the younger, what could have been done more surely and speedily to accomplish that object than the action of this "last new rule" added to former ones? and what time more auspielous than just upon the eve of the meeting of our Assembly at Syracuse ? Ifev. Walter Clarke, D. D. late of the . Mercer street Presbyterian church in th is city, has accepted the call to the Pastorate of the First church, Buffalo, and will soon be installed. Mr. A, L. Clark. of Amherst, Mass., and of the last graduating ()lass of the Union Theological Semi nary, New York, has received and accepted a call from the church of Hyde Park, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania. • - Rev. Joseph T. Sutton has tendered his resigna tion of the paotorate of the,First Church in Persil>. pang, New Jersey, on account of ill-health, Ite is now stopping at Romeo, Mich., at which place he may be addressed until further notice. North Church, N. Y.—lt will be gratifying to our readers to learn that this church, under the care of Rev. Dr. Hatfield, has been enjoying for several weeks a gentle refreshing from the pretence of the Lord, There has been no excitement, and no special effort except that prompted by an unusual spirit of prayer in the church. There has been no preaching except by the pastor, who has confined himself as before, to his regular two sermons on the Sabbath. The only addition to the services during the week has been an increase in the meetings for Trager, which have been very fully attended, and have been. marked with much solemnity. As the fruit of this awakened 'interest, twenty-one persons were added to the church by profession Sabbath before last. The meetings are still continued with unabated interest, —Evangelist. • The Eleventh Street Church, New York ; of which Rev. J. Parsons.Hovey is pastor, has ; been lately blessed. At the recent communion, twenty were received, and the interest continues. Thereat() few churches in that city .doing a better or time needed work than this. . • • Commktosionero to theeeneraldosembly.—The, Presbytery of Marshall, Indiana, appointed Commis eionersto the`Geneiral Aisembly to meet-at *Amuse next May, visa Principals, Revs. H.

Os wesee Valley Presbytery appointed Rev. J. K. Hub bard and Elder J. P. Osborne Commissioners to the next General Assembly, Revival.—The Christian Herald speaks of a revi val of religion at Atnesville, Ohio, m which the church was greatly quickened and some twenty hope ful conversions occurred. The churchints risen in less than three years from a little band to a member ship of over a hundred. OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE WAN CHURCH. The Debate in the "Old School" Body.—The Southern journals continue to attack Dr. Hodge for bis eentiments OD the State of the Country. Tfi, boasted unity of that Branch, which we lung knew to be little more thana boast, has vanished, doubt less forever. We are glad to see, 'however, that no Northern papers of that body, nor the St. Louis or Louisville organs, have entered the lists against Dr. II; Dr. Thornwell's recent artidle in the . Southern Presbyterian Quarterly, taking extreme' pro-slavery groand, has elicited most vigorous opposition from the Presbyter, of Cincinnati, and the Bann's'', of Pitts burgh. Speaking of Dr, Thornwell and his. Southern coadjutors, the Christian Herald retitatice:l ,, "They 'will be compelled to secede Fred th,e As, But here comes the trouble. Thebe ,nien. have ruled the O. S. Church so long, they have : many sym pathizers in the North. Freedom has been stigma tized as abolitionism, And the views of the fathers as Etnaticism, until there are men like Mr. Van Dyke, of Brooklyn, and Dr. Wilson, ©f Cincinnati: who rmily believe that the South is abused and wrohged, because the North will not , accept her new doctrine of the excellence and divinity of slavery. These men will cause strife and discord in the church. :What the end may be, no man knovreth. Our hope is, the our brethren may pass through the'ordeal as -safely . as We did four years ago." - `A Letter. of Rev. F. A. Rose,.D. D., dated Dec. 27th, 1860, appears in,the Boston Congregationalist, in which he seems, to oppose secessiob, but expects the Northern conscience. to come. over to Southern ground. lle says: . "You have, at first sight, immense'advantage• in position, Your conscience is sustained by the for midable American Declaration of Indepebdence—by the belief of many of the fathers of 'out cinintry—by the views of men of the South at one time—by the present mind of the European warilin r overwhelining strength. "All this is your position. Can such a conscience be successfully assailed? 'Can pne chase; a' —and two put ten thousand to flight?' ;reel. for 'our Rock has not sold us,' and your view of Ithe, Bible will be abandoned." Kintank . y.—At no time within the last ten years have there been mere marked or Mori numerous re vivals of xeligion within the.bounds of the Synod of Kentucky, than within . the last five or six weeks. The number of converts has been larger, and tile cases of conversion more . marked than have been known for years.

The Inauguration.—Thc machinations of, the eneinies,of order have been,unsuccessfnl, and, by the, grace of God, Abraham Lincelri has'ascended'to the, chief seat of power in this nation unharmed. .What ever causes of disquiet yet remain, this great and dreaded crisis is past, and all parties feel relieved, and breathe freely. For our own pait, webelieve it is the beginning ,of better days to the country,.," The day of tolerating traitors at the seat of government is over. The. abettors •of anarchy may no. longer lift their beads in• the presence of the successor of Wash ington. The dignity of the governßient, its divine right, Will be maintained, and the most sacred of the social:instincts of men will. no longer be iguored'or profaned. At two o'clock, P. M, after. a .progress through the city, as imposing and enthusiastic as it was peaceful, the Capitol was reached, by the cortege, where Mr. Lincoln delivired the following Figoto:eitizens of the Unite! States: In compliance with "a custom•as old as the gevern ment itself, I appear , before you to address you briefly, and totakek in your prelim:ten, t ie eath pr • escribed by, the Obnstitittion of the United States to be taken by the President before. he enters on the execution of I do not consider it necessary at present for me to • discuss those matters' of adininistration about which there is no iMecial,anxiety or excitement. Apprehension Seenis to exist among the people of the Southern .States that, by the accession of wile publican Administration, their property and their petite and personaU security are to be endangered: rhere'has never been any reasonable cause for such an apprehension. Indeed, the most'ample evidence" ' to the contrary has all -the while existed and - been open to theirinspsetipn.lt itsfonnd _in,nearly all the publitibett iipeecties •of Whe now addresses you. I dolbut , quote from one of those- speeches when I declare that-"I have no purpoae, direatly or indirectly, to interfere , . with the; institution of slavery in the Suites where it exists. I believe I have no lairfel, right to do so, and I bare no , inclination:to " do rap. Those who nominated and elected me did•so with the full knowledge that I - had , made this and , many similar declarations, and had never recanted them. And- more than this, they placed in the plat 'form, for my acceptance, as a law to thernselves,and to me, the clear and 'emphatic resolution which I now _,< "That the maintenance, inviolate, of the rights, of the States, and especially of the right of each State to order and control its own domestic in stitutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the per fection and enduranneof our political fabric depend. And we denounce the - lawless invasion, by an armed force, of the soil of any State or Territory, no mat ter under what pretext, as among the gravest',of crimes. t rnow reiterate these sentiments, and in doing so I only press npon„ the, public , attcriti9n44o.mostcon elusive evidence of wtiich the .case is susceptible, that the prpperty; Otice, and security of no sectign ate to be; ,in anyWise,'etidasgereit by:,the new ih ; coming.Administiation. I add; too ' that all tlie proteCtion which, consis tently with the Constitution and the laws, can be given,will be cheerfully given to all the States, when lawfully demanded, for yhatever cause, as cheerfully to one section as to aruithir: There 'is much controversy about the-delivering of fugitives from service or labor. The clause I now read is as plainly written in the Constitution as any other of its provisions:- "No person ;held to service or labor in one, g - dite under the lnwsthereof, escapmg into another, shall, in consequence , of. any jaw . or , regulation therein, be disoharged from such-service. or labor, but shall =be delivered_ up on claim of the party to . whom 's inch ser . vice or labor may belitte." : • , " • atatn? , ' I . 4)tto' 4 t talt. - i 4 14" o l k 6 ' sect • • It is scarcely 'questionod that phis provision was intended, byt hose who made it, for the reclaiming of what we call fugitive slaves, art,dtbe intention of the law-giver ia the, law. All merahqrspl-Coffigress swear their supT;ort to the Constitution to this ,provision as muc,Was to any other. - To the prqfMeition, then, that slaves whose cases come within the termsmf this clause, and "shall be deli - Vetted their oaths are unanimous. No*, if they would make the effort in good temper, could they not, _.3;vith'nearly' equaluna nimity, frame and 'pass atlaw by means of which to keep good that unanimous oath? There is. some difference of opinion whether this clause should be enforied by . National or State au thority, but surely that' difference' is not a very ma terial one If the slave is to be, surrendered, it can be of little consequence to him or to others tby which authority it is den% And should any one in any case, be contentthat his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial-c mtroversy as to how it shall be kept? • • , • - Again, in any law upon this subject, ought:net all the.safeguards of liberty known in the civilized and humane jurisprudence to be introduced, so that a freentian may not be, in any ease, surrendered.as a slave:- And might it not be well, at the same time, to provide by law for the enforcement of that clause in the Constitution, which guaranties that "the citi zens of each State shall be entitled, to all the, privi- Imes anti immunities of the citizens in the several States:" tt • , • I take the official 'oath aday with no mentarre servationkand with no purpose to construe the Con etitOion or:la:iv-8 by any hypercritical rules. And While I do not choose now to specify particular acts of - CongreSsi as proper to by 'enforeed, I do sokot that' it will be'much safer for all, in official and pri vate stations , to conform to and abide by alithnStrdets Which 'Mend' unrepealed, thin to violate any aifi6, trusting to find impunity in having them held .to.be uneo9stitntional.- rui r tkft 'sdaieeli enty-tivo inneskthei!fivdt-i'n auguration of a Presideetlinder ournational I? tiring vi i pgicgeteen different and greatly iiMingAlisl4.ci t lieeßs t litavo, ip sticyCatithin,adininis teredllie execiliti , e'bianCh d§verriaenf.
