W. Ileacook, D. D., Rev. Claudius B. Lo rd, Elder
m
Aaron Rummy', and Elder Hiram Couch, have been
appointed Commissioners to the Gem Assembly by
the Presbytery of Buffalo. '
Rev: A. EronsOn.--The Presbytery of Otsego met
at Fly Creek, Feb. 26, and installed the Rev. Asahel
Bronson pastor of the Presbyterian church at that
place.
Rev. B. Scofield, of Anderson, Indiana, has re
ceived and accepted a call from the Presbyterian
Church in Mishawaka, Indiana, and expects to enter
upon his labors with that church in the course of two
or three weeks.
Rev. H. H. Benson was installed pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Mineral Point, by Mineral
Point Convention, on Wednesday evening, February
6th.
DakotallB.—A. private letter just received from
Rev. T. S. Williamson, at Pajutnzee, says: "You will
be pleased to learn that there is an awakening among
the •Dakoto,hs here, such as I have never before wit
nessed. For a month past the number of this people
attending public worship is at least twice as great as
at any former time. Persons who heretofore could
not be persuaded to enter a place of Christian wor
ship at their own doors, walk from three to five miles
through deep snow to preaohing on the Sabbath, and
half that distance to attend prayer meetings on the
week days. Please pray for us, and perhaps you can
influence others to do so also."—Evangelist.
Revival.—Rev. Daniel Clark, of Lyons,
lowa,
writes to the Pro, Recorder under date of March,
1801, as follows:
The good work of God began to be manifest about
the first of January, and apparently as a special
blessing on pastoral visitation. Sinus that time it
has gone steadily, not rapidly, forward; the interso
at first, and fur a considerable time, being visible el
most entirely among those who are not members of
the church. But, happily, for a short time past, the
church members have been coming into the work with
greatly quickened Christian feelings.
Nearly ttij, the converts thus far are heads of fami
lies, and. I am thankful to say, the work is still ad
vancing with apparently augmenting interest.
Knox Presbytery, Ill.—At the meeting held Feb.
12, the Presbytery instructed its Committee on Church
Extension to make an effort to unite with some ad
joining Presbytery in securing a missionary to labor
within the bounds of both bodies.
Rev. B. B. Parsons, of the Berenn Association, and
Rev. Wilbur MoKaig, of Chicago Presbytery, rejoiced
our hearts and strengthened our hands by uniting
with us as members. Our brother MoKaig is doing
much good in connexion with his new charge in Pe
oria. Ills church is one of the Most interesting and
hopeful in this part of the State—a happy instance
of the benefits of Church Extension efforts in our
cities.

OTHER BRANCHES OF THE~ PRESBYTE
RIAN CHURCH.
Rev. Z. R. Burgett. —This minister of the other
branch of the Gliuroh has recently been described by
the papers,—among which was our own, as having
been obliged to flee from his place in Mobile for having
declared his pteferenois for Mr. Lincoln as a candi
date for the Presidency. The following, from the
Southern Presbyterian, (S. 0.,) would go to prove the
report erroneous. We cannot say that it is more
worthy of confidence than the original story which
we copied Into our columns some weeks ago. The
&aliens Presbyterian says:
"We have the best authority. ;for saying that Mr,
Burgett would not have toted for Mr. Lincoln, anti
is now, ae he has been all along, faithfully engaged
in his own appropriate work as a minister of the gos
pel in Mobile; preaching the precious doctrines Qf the
Bible, and . enjoying the confidence and esteem of the
people of that city."
A Question and Our Reply.—Art esteemed obr
rempoodeut, says the dont/ter/4 (S. O.) Presbyterian,
writes to us as follows:
Why, after such a severe cannonade against Dr.
Ilodge, did you not open up your batteries of grape
shot against Dr. Breckinridge? I had not seen his
sPrinuu when I read your 'almost' apology for Matt

temptuous language towards our State than he. did.

foot on the land and the other on the sea? If you
TEAMS.
let this Goliath come out, and tiv4s terrify the feeble
ones, then tell us no more of your stieesswn zeal and
fire."
Our friend pricks us sharply:.on two or three
points. Not to make our answer too long, we notice
only the main one, and that merell- by a word—for,
to the wise, a word is sufficient. We"want Kentucky
and Virginia, and all the border States, with us, and
from them we will try to bear almost anything rather
than make any retort. It was very hard to bear
Dr. Breckinridge's taunts—but we believe he was
feeling very badly in the expectation that, after all,
Kentucky is going to secede, too; anethis, with our
desire to keep the peace, if possible, with all these
hesitating sisters of our seceding States, and to'have
no controversy with any Southern man, helped us to
let 'patience have her perfect work.?"—S. Presbyte
rian.
[lf Kentucky does not go with South Carolina., is
she then cannonaded?—En. Presb. Herald.] ,
Moderators Deceased.—Since the last General
Assembly, five ministers who had kerved as Modera
tors in former years, have departed this life—Dr.
eill (1815,) Dr. Herron (1827,) Dr. Edgar (18424
Dr. Murray (1849,) Dr. Van Rensselaer (1857.) The
oldest surviving Moderator is Dr. Nett, who presided
in 1811.—Presbyterian.
The Philosophy of 0. S.Pro-Slaveryistn.--T4e
Boston Recorder, in answer to the inquiry of .a corre
spondent, proposes the following partial solution of
the above phenomenon.
"The meta the second question is—Why so many
Old School men are either apologists for slavery, or
observers of silence 011 the subject, which is supposed
to give consent to it? The result, in our view, comes
of a purpose of close adhesion to the authority of I
Scripture, together with a failure to discriminate, and
to see, that the sanction which the Old Testament
gives to slavery, is of such a nature as cannot extend
into the New. There is a stitch dropped in their
reasoning, which exposes the whole to be unravelled.
They find slavery allowed in the Hebrew civil code,
and, call , that a Bible sanction to the system, over-
looking the fact that the Hebrew civil code, with' all
the institutions dependent upon it, expired at` the
death of Christ, abd the fact tl3at it is admitted into I
the llebrew code, not as a thing right in itself, bOt,
as an evil to be borne for a time, for the hardness of;
their hearts, like polygamy and divorce. And if it
be asked, why Old School men are more liable than 1
New to fall into this'erroneotiedefence of slavery, we I
should say that it is more a fixed principle with them
to follow implicitly what the Bible seems to teach.
Certainly the prima facie teaching of the Old Testa
ment is In favor of slavery, and many of our New
School brethren are as impotent as they in any,Scrip
tural 'flatbed of escaping that conclusion—having
never learned to make the distinction which the
Scriptures make between the civil and moral code.
But they have a mind more elastic touching Scripture
authority, and the knot which they cannot untie they
can cut."
But the smaller bodies of Presbyterians in this
country, and all of those in Canada and Scotland,
which are at least as Old in their theology as the
professed "Old School" church in this country, are
nevertheless decided and uncompromising in their
hostility to slavery. Are THEY less inclined to follow
the implicit teaching of the Bible? Are their minds
more elastic touching Scripture authority?--[Editors
Am. Freak]
EPISCOPAL.
ininOili—The condition of this diocese is on se
veral accounts peculiarly interesting. The corre
spondent of the New York. Churchman keeps the
readers of that journal remarkably well posted on the
state of affairs in that, region, as he views them. In a
recent letter he says—
" The endeavors of Rev. Dr, Tyng and confreres to
plant this diocese with clergy of 'peculiar views,'
are well known to the Bishop, and will be carefully
guarded against. The American Church Missionary
Society have their eye upon this field, and will leave
no stone unturned to change its features to a diffe
rent complexion. As long as the Doctor lives, he
will never forget (if he does forgive) the loss of this
diocese to the 'Evangelical' party, through the
change of views of the present Diocesan, who became
aware of the uncharitable feelings and actions of
' Evangelicals' before he assumed the mitre.
"The French Protestants mentioned by me as
lately under control of Mr. Beaubien, Congregational
preacher, met for the first time in the City Mission
Churoh of St. Ansgarius, last Sunday afternoon ; not
having a French
. prayer book with me, I could not
follow in the, service, They need more, that each
worshipper may have one. The clergyman who offi
ciated and preached in the French language, I was
told, was Rev. Mr. Williamson, who is performing
missionary labor at six or more stations among Chi
niquy's Colony, at and about
_Kankakee.. The prefi
gure there is so civet that .1 should not be surprised
to learn at any time that Mr. Chiniquy had applied
for Episcopal sanction to conform to the Church."
Hobart College.—The Hon. Allen Ayrault, lately
deceased, has left to the College a bequest of twenty
thousand dollars, to found a Professorship of Agri
culture, in connexion with Chemistry, Mineralogy,
and Geology, besides a previous subscription of ten
thousand dollars confirmed by his will, both of which
are conditioned on the raising by subscription of
sixty thousand dollars by the first day of June next,
with three thousand dollars; more by the 4th of Fe
bruary, 1862. Thus the College has eighty-three
thousand dollars:towards Its endowment, depending
on its securing the balance of that subscription.—N.
Y. Churchman.
FOREIGN
Eichard Weaver Excluded from Exeter Hall.
—The London correspondent of th 6 Boston Recorder
vays:--
On coming to London, Mr. Weaver, and Mr. Rad
cliffe began their Sabbath evening addresses in Exe
ter Hall, which was hired for several weeks, but after
the first service the Managers of the Hall refused to
let the building to be used again in the same man
ner. Some of the daily papers published a bur
lesque of the addresses and of the tunes to which the
hymns were sung, and the Managers were afraid
that their straight laced supporters would decline to
hold any more of their meetings in the Hall, if they
did not pack Messrs. Weaver & Co. off; and so off
they went: But the proprietors of the Surry Thea
tre were not so alarmed for the proprieties, and there
the discarded revivalists found a very suitable refuge.
The Rev. Mr. Fisher, a Free Church of Scotland
minister in the south of London, and the Rev. Chas.
-Stove], a Baptist in the east, have since opened the
doors of their large chapels to Mr. Weaver and the
-orovvds that follow him, and the Rev. T. Thomas, a
Congregationalist at Bethnal Green, is about to do the
same.
Oxford "Freethinkors."—The school" of these
daring "freethinkers"—to give them no harsher
nameis apparently on the increase at Oxford. A
significant sign of this has just been given, by the
election of one of the contributors to the obnoxious
and reprehensible "Essays and Reviews," (the Rev.
Mark Pattison,) to be rector.of Lincoln College in
that University. Lis was elected, it is true by a nar
row majority; and it is said that the Fellows of the
College, who have elected him, do not concur with
him altogether in his theological opinions. But it is a
bad sign, nevertheless, and it will do a great deal of
mischief.—Cor. N. Y. Churchman.
Germany.—A VICTORY OV RATIONALIBII.-113 the
Grand Duchy of Baden, where Dr. Ullmann, the
learned editor of the best German quarterly, (the
Studien and Kritiken,) has been for several years at
the head of the supreme ecclesiastical board of the
State Church, the Rationalistic party have succeeded,
after a violent agitation of two years, in overthrow
ing the influence of the Evangelical party, and in
getting the control of the ecclesiastical affairs into
their own hands. The New Evangelical Church. Ga
zette, of Berlin, fears that this event will have disas
trous consequences for all Germany.
The Pope, in a recent allocution, told his car
dinals that the principles of the disastrous Reforma
tion have acquired almost the force of public law."
Oxford Essays.—The English correspondent of
the N. Y. Churchman says of these pernicious pro
ductions:—
The feeling against the Oxford "Essays and Re
views," ae propounding most skeptical, not to say in
fidel principles, is evidently growing - more and more
intense as the work gets better known, and the sub
ject is more earefullyconsidered. All parties in the
Church, except the "Broad Church," appear to con
cur in disavowing them.
Although the Obnoxious publication has emanated
from Oxford, and is the production, in fact, of Ox
ford clergymen, in no part of the Church, perhaps,
is the feeling against it stronger or more general than
.in that diocese, which is among the first to come for
ward with a formal address to the Prienate on the
subject, memoralizing his Grace to bring the matter
before the House of Bishops.
It remains to be seen if the Primate will give ef
fect to this appeal at the present meeting of Convo
cation. There is now, 1 find, a prevalent opinion
that Convocation cannot pass it over, and that if the
Archbishop does nut move in it, one or more of the
Bishops, will do so.
Ireland: Immense 8=053 . 1m5 - followed the pub

Good News from the East.—On the Northern
border of desolated Syria a work of spiritual renova
tion is in steady and rapid progress. Our readers
are., familiar with details of missionary intelligence
from Aintab, and the surrounding region of ancient
Cilicia. A letter just received from Rev. A. B. Good
ale, M. D., dated, Marash, December 15, 1860, fur
nishes additional information .concerning that place,
which will be read with lively interest:
The progress of tite•Worit of Christ rein:irked and

CONGAEgS.
SATlntno . AND SAM3ATH, March 2d and 3d.-Not withstanding an unusual state of fervvardness in the
routine business of the two Houses, it,was considered
necessary to encroach on holy titriti, - especially in the
Senate in order to'come to sonle decision on the dif
ferent compromise measures brouoht before that body.
SENATE.—The Peace Convention. propositions were
taken up. Mr. Lane, of Oregon, spoke for three hours
against the bill, and was answered by Mr. Johnson,
of Tennessee. He said that traitors should be tried
and hung, arid if he were President he - Would do it.
His concluding remarks were as follows; Six States
have gone out of the Union ; but the people of those
States have not passed an ordinance of seeession; and
their conservative men have 'been overpowered, and
usurpation had triumphed; theaters and stripes had
been hauled down, and the palmetto and, the pelican
'and the rattlesnake run up. He closed with an elo
quent appeal for the flag of the Union, and expressed
a trust that the flag would 'ever wave "O'er theland
of the free, and home of the brave." He declared
that Tennessee would ever remain in the Union.'
Reports were received from the Committees of Con
ference on the Army bill and the Indian bill, and the
bills were passed. A motion Asa agreed to, that All
prior orders should he suspendied, and Mr.' Uotivin's
resolution from the House be tiiiten up.
Took a recess till 7 o'cleek, Sikbbath eloning. In'
the debate which then commenced, Senator Trumbull
said; If we give the government force enough to en
force the laws, he thought there; would be an end to
secession. Titne can cure this thing, and it has done
much already. It has already acconiplished much
in Tennessee, and he thoughtnthe result there was
mainly due to the efforts of the Senator from that
State. Let it be known that - the people of the North
are determined to maintain the Union, and there
would be Union men in the South.
Let the government= have force enough, and' let us
have an honest Executive; and' et the South see that
the government intends. no'.encreachtnents oh their
rights, and lie didmot believe that aluki would' ever
be fired. • - -
Finally, towards morning, the joint resolutions
which passed the House on ,Thursday And Friday,
known _as Mr. Corwin's proposition, and 'already
de•ieribed above,- Were adopted, by a two-third vote.
Took a recess until 10 o'clock, Monday morning.
Iforim--A message was read from the President,
in answer to the request to know the reason for as
sembling a number of Federal troops in Washington.
A resolution was adopted, stating it to have, been a
grave error
_on the part of, the Secretary of the Navy
to accept the resignation of those officers who wer•
in arnis against their griverhatent. A resolution was
adoptdd presenting the thanks of the Rouge to the
Hon. Win. Pennington, Speaker thereof, fer the faith
ful: courteous, and impartial discharge of his duties
during the present, Congress. Several> private bills
were passed.
MONDAY, March 4th.—SENATE.-1110 Senate re
m:trembled at 10 o'clock. • Mr. Breckenridge made his
farewell address, and Mr. Hamlin*as sworn-in as
presiding offieer;wban the prdelaniatiortidr am extra
session was read.
Houss.—The House met. at 10 o'.clock, but little
business was transacted besides the usual routine of
closing up • ,
The Senate contipned in session chiefly for Exectp
tive business, On Wed:lead:ly, March 6th, a'debate
upon .the Presidentis message arose,:in the course of
which Mr. Douglass defended that document. He
said: The inaugural was much more conservative
titan, he had anticipated. Itwati more pacific, and
conciliatory than he had predicted. He, repeated;
that, after a dareful examination'and analYsiii, he wits
elderly of . the opinion that the Administration stands
pledged to•a 'peaceful aolntiori, and will do no act-that
would lead' to war, and not changeits policy-unless
necessary to preierre peace. He, thought the-Presi-:

had indicated a remedy.
, On Friday, the Bth, Mr. Foster,of Connectimit, of=

fered a preamble and resOlutitht—as,folloWs: .
• Whereas, Mr. Wigfall, now; a Senator of the 'United'

They are as pleasant its a truly , effective medicine can
