OUR OWN CHURCH.
Death of Orlando Hastings, Esq.—The diiath
of Orlando Hastings, Esq., of Rochester, is announced
in the papers of that city of the 20th instant. It ap
pears that he had been confined to his house for some
time by a general prostration of his physical powers,
but a fatal termination was not anticipated until a
few days before the sad event. Mr. Hastings had
been a resident of Rochester for more than thirty
years, and was widely known to the public as a dis
tinguished and successful lawyer. He had been a
member of the State Legislature, and had held other
important public trusts. Nut a few of our readers,
however, will better remember him in his life-long
relations to the Christian Church. He has been a
wise and trusted counsellor in Presbytery and As
sembly. He was for many years a ruling elder in
the Brick church—Dr. Shaw's—and only left that
prosperous society some ten or twelve years ago, that
he might assist the Central Church, which was then
struggling for a permanent existence. The brethren
of that church have ever regarded him as a father,
and it is safe to say that he has contributed much in
every way to bring it to its present assured position
and efficiency. He has been one of its most vene
rated office bearers, efficient alike in its councils, its
stated meetings, Bible ()lasses Ito. We believe he
had attained to v. little more than the allotted age of
man, and his last years were doubtless his most use
ful and happy ones.
To the above, from the Evangelist, we may add,
that the deceased was one of those far-seeing men in
our church, who, at an early day, espoused those
distinctive measures for its Extension, for the Educa
tion of Its candidates, and the Publication of its views
of doctrine and duty, the expediency of which is now
universally admitted. As the wise and persevering
friend of these measures, his loss is greatly to be re
gretted, although he lived to see them put into suc
cessful operation.
Revivals,—A correspondent of the Recorder (Chi
cago) writes from Liberty, lowa, March 20th, as fol
lows:
About eight miles east of this, in M'Kee Township,
there had formerly been a small Cumberland Pres
byterian church, but it had become nearly extinct for
want of the ordinances of the Gospel. By invitation,
we went and held a series of meetings. It was soon
apparent that the Spirit's presence and power were
among them. Brother M'Coy of Clayton, came to
our assistance, and did good service for Christ and
his cause. As the result of the meetings, there are
same eight or ten conversions, and Christians greatly
quickened in faith, love, and zeal. It was, I might
say, unanimously agreed that they should form them
selves into a New School Presbyterian Church.
A church is now organized. Twelve of them for
merly beiciiged to the New School and Cumberland
Presbyterian t;hurches, and six who have recently
obtained a hope in Christ. Two elders were elected.
Two adult and two infant baptisms.
MINTON, ht..—The pastor says; We have enjoyed
a very precious revival of religion during the last few
weeks. Our Church has been very much revived,
and are united and rejoicing in the hope that they
have found the Saviour. Among those who are
hoping are several heads of families, and in conse
quence some new family alters have been erected.
The work has been characterized by an entire ab
sence of all excitement. It was a gentle refreshing
from the presence of the Lord. It has greatly
cheered our hearts, and we trust that it may prove a
lasting blessing to us as to Church and people.
MONROE Co., N. Y.—We learn that an extensive
work of grace is in progress at and near Brighton,
Monroe county, in this State. There are ninety or
one hundred converts in the precious work which has
takenelace in connexion with the church and one or
two Sabbath schools in the vicinity.—Evangelist.
ELKHART, IND.—The church in this place has en
joyed a visitation of the Spirit during the winter.
Tsventy were added at the last communion.
Calls Aooepted.—Rev. W. T. Bartle has received
and accepted an invitation to labor with the Church
at Decatur, Michigan.
Rev. Wrn. T. Moflit has accepted a call from the
church at Somonauk, Illinois.
Changes.—Rev. Royal Mann haa removed from
Marion, Wayne County, to Penfield, Monroe County,
New York.
Bev. N. Q. Coffin has removed from Piqua to San

OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE
RIAN CHURCH.
The California 'and New Orleans Organs on Dr.
Rodge,. - -vve blip the following from the Pacific Expo
sitor for M arch, Rev. Dr. W.A. Scott, formerly of New
Orleans, editor:—"Tut PRINCETON REVIEW AND ODD
Coutvrav,The first article in the January number of
this Review, from the pen of Rev. Dr. Hodge, has caused
us great grief. No man living has a greater regard for
I'rinceton and for Dr. 11. than we have cherished for
now nearly thirty yenre. We do not now propose to
enter into a detail of our views on the subject of this
article, which Is the "State of the Country;" but we
cannot reconcile it to our sense of duty to let it pees
without recording our dissent from it. The tendency ,
of the article is to rend asunder both the Church and
the State, and, as fur as its influence goes, to excite
civil war. The author did not so intend, but this is
the bearing of the article. Its spirit is bitter, and
the arguments all from a northern, paint, and, in out:
poor judgment, for the most part, inaorrect, We
protest against such views being received` as the sew.
theonts of the Old School Presbyterian Church. Our•
grief is unspeakably great at beholding narrow and
one sided views from any section of our country, for
all such representations increase our troubles, audif
not corrected will produce a division in our beloved,
Church, as well as foment the political agitations of
the times,"—Nsw ORLEANS.—The Witness and- Senti
nel, in speaking of Dr. H.'s explanatilin in the Central
and Southern Presbyterian in which the attempt is made
to remove some of the objections raised by Southern
critics, says, " We confess that the impression made
on our minds by its perusal was very different - fro •
the explanntions which the Doctor has since given.
For his sake, and for the Church's sake, however, we
greatly rejoice that he still maintains, so explicitly,
the position which our General Assembly so clearly'
announced nearly seventeen years ago, and has main
tained ever since, and that he has so fearlessly avowed
his belief. And hence, although Dr. Hodge may dif
fer widely from his brethren south in regard to
the political aspects of the slavery question, there
need be no fear of division ntnong us, 80 long as we
are agreed on the moral and religious questions per taining to it—for our Church never interferes with
politics or with the political opinions or her ministers
and members."
The Next Assembly.—The Presbyter, of Cincin
nati says :
"But we are free to say that we have no desire for
nay action in our next Assembly. Let Cmsfir alone.
He is doing very well. Moreover, the men who rule
the General Assembly, the united South, 'and the
great lights of our commercial cities, are nut prepared
to do anything for freedom, not even to re-affirm what
has been done. We hope the General Assembly wind°
up in haste its ordinarybusiness, and adjourn. We be
lieve that the questions obstructing the church and the
country had better be left to the State and to the
inferior courts of the church for the present."
The next Assembly, 0. S.—The Louisville, Ky.,
Presbyterian Herald, says:
"The true policy of the next Assembly, as it strikes
us, then, is quietly to attend to its regular business,
and vote down all attempts to introduce the agitating
questions of the day into its deliberations, and then
go home Dr R. J. Breekinridge and
llr.'Phornwell, who may be regarded in some sense
as representative men, differ very widely on civil af
fhirs, but we greatly misjudge them if that fact will
ever disturb their relations as ministers of Christ,
and Presbyterians."
The Action of 1818.—We must frankly say that
if is still to be regarded as either the "opinion," or
the faith, or the law of the church,—we do not see
how Southern Presbyterians can carry the, burden
and wrong of it. The various attempts to explain it
away, while not acknowledging it to be efther vir
tually repealed or reversed, we consider as nothing
worth. Our Northern brethren owe it to us to be
perfectly candid and explicit on the subject. Let
them frankly say whether they regard that act as
reversed or not, and whether it is now an exponent
of, their views.—Soutlacrn Presb., (S. C.)
EPISCOPAL.
A Difference of Sentiment.—The Western E . pis
copalian, in a recent criticism of the new Boston
Church Monthly, of which Dr. Huntington is one
of the editors, and which is assuming a High Church
tone, puts the following imp/ilia:
"In what sense are we a Church?, we do not say,
in point of strict conformity with Apostolic, pattern
of the Ministry, but as to the reality of Church-being.
In which sense are we a Church, in which the Pres
byterians= are not a Church also? • Are they not
Churchmen as truly as we? Have they not a Church
system as truly as we? I do nut wonder that such
language seems to them who have rite as much piety
and learning and gospel in their ministry and among
their church members as we have, most•arrogant and
offensive."
Upon this, the New York Churchman, remarks:
" The Church has nothing to fear from outside ad
versaries, whether belonging to the Roman Com
munion or to any of the numerous Protestant sects.
Her claims can easily and successfully be defended
from all assaults which can come from either of these
quarters. But within her pale there ' are men calling
themselves 'Episcopalians, for they very generally
reject the term 'Churchmen,' who are ready to betray
the honor of the Church, and to degrade her to a level
with the sects on every conceivable occasion. By
outsiders these men are looked upon as representatives
of the body to which they professedly belong, and it
therefore becomes our duty to protest in, the strongest
terms againat anything Which may be advanced from
such sources being received as the Opinion of church
men generally, or of the Church anywhere.
GENERAL;
Mr. Gargool3r Itefated.—Rev. 0. Bachelor, a re
turned missionary, replies, in the Morning Star, to
certain charges of deception that Mr. Gangooly brings
against the Christian missionaries to India, He shon-s
from evidence not Ally: resisted that the assertions
of missionaries concerning the former prevalence of
infanticide in India, and concerning the practice, of
self-sacrafice before the car orJu gg ernaut, are strictly
true, and not even exaggerations.
A. late eminent divine, in examining, evidences
of grace,
puts these searching questions: Have you
so much of the reality of religion as to have risen
above the haughty Pharisaism of gilded vulgarity;
in those who sit down at the Lord's table with a bro
ther today, and deem him unworthy of:salutation
to-morrow? Have you been long enough 'with Jesus
to learn that connexion with him is the greatest of
distinctions—greater than the difference between one
degree of fortune and another, or one branch of traffic
and another, or one profession, and another? We fear
a. faithful answer to such querie43 would sift our rows
of communicants at a terrible rate.—Christian
Inlel
gencer.
FOREIGN.
Churches in Paris.—We have in Paris, on the
lowest calculation, thirty Protestant places of wor
ship. Every church, of whatever denomination, has
its active influential members, its evangelists, colpor
tours, prayer meetings, and house-to•house visita
tion.—New of the Churches.
Romisb. and Protestant Schools in Prance.—
The degraded condition of the Itomanist school teach
ers of. France is attracting the attention of the autho
rities. The correspondent of the News of the Churches
asks:
And whence this degraded state? All agree. in
attributing it to the priesthood. The clergy, as a
body, fear education, unless they have education in
their own hands. Wherever they can, they bring in
religious orders, monks and nuns, who secure the
majority of the children, and thus starve out the lay
school-master.
The alternative is for him to become slave to the
1. e., mass-server, washer ofchureh linen,cleaner
of church ornaments, bell-ringer, holy-water monger,
and, in some parishes, grave digger.
It is universally admitted by inspectors-general,
and all who have examined the matter, that our one
thousand two hundred and forty-seven Protestant
communal school -masters are superior in every re
spect. Tho Protestant pastors, by, word and exam
ple, give impetus to their energies; the pulpit per
suades the parents to send their children to school,
instead of deterring them from it; our Protestant po
pulation in general is industrious, and in circum
stances to pay the teacher, whose services it values;
and those teachers, trained in our excellent normal
schools, feel generally the dignity and responsibility
of their office.
Erastianism in Sweden.—The same journal gives
us "a specimen of that ceasing, annulling, and re
ducing' a spiritual sentence which the Court of Ses
sion seems about to claim as competent to itself in
Scotland. 'The notorious clergyman, C. A. Daniel
son, who was found by the Stockholm Consistorium
deserving of deposition from the ministry, has got his
sentence redueed by the High Court of Svea (the high
est civil court in the province) to a suspension of two
years.' This announcement appeared in the Stockholm
Wu as a piece of ordinary news, and excites
no remark. It is in the ordinary and familiar course
of procedure."
An instance is given in which complaint was made
in the High Court. of Gotha against a minister for
speaking very strongly against the sale of ardent spi
rits. The Court, after investigation, issued an order
which was confirmed by the King, requiring the Bi
shop to censure the preacher. The Bishop, not having
exercised sufficient severity, in the opinion of some,
is called in to give to the Chancellor of Justice an
explanation and defence of his conduct!
Eutugian, the native Armenian preacher, has re.
turned from his collecting tour in behalf of the Pro

__NNUAL SYNOD OF ZU
RICH, which held its sessions on the fith (lay of No
vember, brought out considerable diversity of theo
logical.sentiment, us was expected. The modern
progressive school, the Eclectic, and the late positive
theology, were represented in various essays which
were read. The revised Zurich Bible was presented,
and an edition of fifteen thousand was reported as
printed. Measures were taken to secure a . proper
regard for this revision in the proposed translation
of the Evangelical Conference of the allied Cantons.
A union of effort for bringing forward such candidates
for the ministry, as may be unable to procure an
education, was agreed upon, though the diversity of
theological views caused embarrassment. —THE BAP

Speaking of the Ter-Centennary in Scotland, it says
that that festival gave new proof of the fulness and

Light Breaking in Portugal.—The struggle be
tvreen this kingdom and Rome fourteen:years ago,
upon the rights of the crown over the East Indian
bishoprics of Goa, Din and Dames has operated against
Romanism in the popular mind. The doctrine of the
Immaculate Conception has called forth protests
sustained by citations from the Bible and the Church
Fathers. Finally, the effort made three years ago to
introduce the Sisters of Mercy, with their Lazarist
Father Confessors, failed, and the newly-awakened
fear of the Jesuits-has led to the formation of a So
ciety which seeks to spread the Scriptures - ; and ex
horts to a diligent use of the same as the. best means
of averting the danger. So says the N. Evang. Sir
clienzeitung.

GENERAL
The Cenius.—The total population is not quite as
large as it was at first announced to be. It is 31,491,
891. Of this aggregate 27,477,090 are free, and
3,952,601 slaves. Delaware, has 1798 slave's; Mary
land,. 87,188 slaves. Virginia has the largest num
ber of Caves: 490,880.
The Trade of the Peninstda.—There are, per
haps, few.•of our readers who are aware of the rapid
growth of our trade with the peninsula lying be
tween the Delaware and Chesapeake bays, and corn
prising the State of Delaware and the eastern shore
of Maryland and Virginia. Not a day elapses Without
a number of arrivals of cargoes of produce here from
the peninsula. It has, of course, increased very
largely since the construction of the railways, which
have attracted population and extended the area of
cultivation. We anticipate, however, a much larger
growth, as, the railway system is extended, for the
peninsula has great natural advantages, and the
waters draining it are all navigable. We have now
a large fleet of schooners engaged in the trade, and
shall doubtless soon have many more.—U. S. Graz: -
The ."Union Sentiment in Ilaryland.—The Bal
timore American, one of the ablest papers in the
country, declares that nine-tenths of the people of
Maryland are in favor of .the Union. The failure of
the late Secession Convention in the City of Monu
ments has Greatly dampened the spirit of, the conspi
rators.
Proposal to Break up the Confederacy. --IT
civil war is to he averted, and at' the same time the
Southern,confederation to be broken down, there is
but one course to be pursued, nauseous and unpala
table as that may be. The Southern Republic must
be recognised and treated with. This is the first
step towards destroying it, not by force, but by taking
advantage, of the weaknesses inherent to a republic
constructed upon the right of secession as its foun
dation.
Vie Government of the United States has only, in
recognising 'the Southern Confederacy, to expressly
state, that as the seceded Slates exerted a right to retire
and to divest themselves of the liability for our National
Debt, iv also our government will recognise the right
of any seceded State to return to the United States,
leaving the new Confederacy discharged from any
responsibility for the.debt of the new Confederation;
and that, should any attempt be made, by the, new
Confederation to retain such dissatisfied State by co
ercion, such state will be supported by the whole
military power of the United States.
By assuming this position, the United States would,
at a single blow, shiver the frail fabric of the 'credit of
the Heptarehy.—Phila. Inquirer.'
The Crittenden Proposition. —The Louisville
Journal says:—" We all know that the Union men of
the border slave-holding States; with Mr. Crittenden
himself at their head, have abandoned the basis in
question so far as they may be said to have held it, on
the ground first, that the basis, in the whole range of
its provisions as construed by the SecesSionists, is not
necessary to the safety or honor of the South; and,
secondly, that whilst thus unnecessary to the South, it
is extremely obnoxious to the North." •
Affairs in Texas.—The rumor of the surrender
of Fort Brown to the Secessionists of Texas is con-,
firmed. Captain Hill, whose valorous defiance of the
rebels at the outset of the difficulties gave reason for
the belief that he sided with Governor Houston, seems
to have repented of his determination. He surren
ders his command, and the State forces take posses
sion of the fort.
Floyd the-Traitor.-The Atalanta (Geo.) Southern
Confederacy; of the 76th-inst., in an article reviewing
Ex-Secretary Floyd's defence, takes occasion to pay
the following rtribute of respect to that gentleman,
considered from a Southern point of view:
"But for the foresight and firmness and patriotic
providence of John B. Floyd; in what stress and peril
would the cotton States be floundering this day! He
sawlthe inevitatble-doom of the Union, or the doom of
his own people. For many months past, &to" his
tatand-point, , he had an expanded field of vision which
enabled him to see the great danger which threatened
us, but which.was hid below the horizon from the
eyes of most of us. When his faithful loyalty to 'his
own persecuted people began its labors in our. - de,
fence, in what a condition was the Southern States?
The North had the heavy guns, the light arms, the
powder and ball, ;just as the -North had; everything
else that belonged to the-common Government. How.
quietly were men shifted from our," soil who might
have been here to-day to murder us at Abraham Lin
coin's order. HoW slender the .garrisons became in
Southern forts which were made for us and belong to
nobody else, but which a savage enemy pow chafes
and rages to get possession ofl Who sent 37,000
stand of arms to Georgia? How came 600,000 more
prime death-dealing rifles at, Jatikson, Mississippi?
And, in short, why have we any thing-at all in the
South to mail the strong hands of the sons of the
South with at this hour when every hart and head
and arm of her children are needed in her defence?
Truth demands it of us to declare that we owe to.
John B. Floyd an eternal tribute of gratitude for all
this. Had he been less the patriot than he was, we
might now, have been disarmed and at the mercy of
a nation of cut-throats and plunderers."
Texas.—The Texas Legislature haspassed a reso
lotion approving of the action of the Convention in
deposing General Houston.
A bill was passed to, raise a regiment of 'mounted
riflemen of 1,000 men for the frontier protection..
Since the - departure of the Federal troops the In
dians, in large numbers, have been devastating the
frontier, killing and driving back the settlers:
Virginia Convention.—The debate on the motion
of Mr. Ball, of Weitzel, to substitute the Constitu
tion of the Confederate States for the report of tfie
Committee on Federal Relations, was continued till a
late hour of the 26th. It was finally rejected, the
vote standing nays 78, yeas none.
.A.mendments justifying the Secession principle,
and asserting that slavery is a vital point of the ph
litical system of the Federal Government were re
jected by very heavy majorities. .
Texas.—Washington, March 27. Private ac-'
counts from New Mexico represent that the Texas
-.
special commissioner has met with but little, if itnY,
success in his secession efforts in that Territory.
Carl Shurz has been appointed minister to Spain,
and Cassius M. Clay to Russia. The Senate has eon
firmed these nominations.
About a dozen gentlemen connected with the press
have been appointed to Foreign Missions and other
prominent positions.
Front: Pensaeola.--Advices from Pensacola, to
the 26tb iust., report that the U. S. steamer Brooklyn
had left, and it was supposed she had gone to Key'
West to obtain provisions. The Confederate troops
continue arriving at Pensacola, and will soon number
5000 men.
Threatened Civil War, in Virginia.—The Spi
na of Jefferson, published at Charleston, Virginia,
says:—This right of revolution belongs not only to
States, as against the Federal gOvernment, but to a
minority in: a State as against the majority. The
exercise of the right, though greatly deprecated, will
nevertheless be relied upon,- should Virginia, by sub
mission to 'black Republican rule,' disregard and
violate - the rights of the minority of her people," .
Missouri Legisl.Uttirp;-4The Corninitted on Fed'e=
nil Relations, in the" Hduse, March 27," reported the
following resolution, which was passed, yeas 62, nays
42.
Resolved, That it is inexpedient for the General
Assembly to take any steps for calling a National
Convention to prop6se amendrnents to the Constitu
tion, as recommended by tbe - .State Convention.
A Team with a load of 6000 pounds of. powder

succeeded in clearing the,track sufficiently to allow
about two inches of space between the wagon and the

Resolutions of an Anti-'Secession Ilteeting in
North Alabama:--- )
Resolved, That we approve the course pursued by
our delegates, Messrs. Watkins and Steele, in Con
vention at Montgomery, in not signing the so-called
Secession, Ordinance:—
That secession isitiespedient and unnecessary, and
we are opposed to it in any form, the more so since a
majority of the Slave States 'have refused to g,o out,
either by what is called "Southern co-operation," or
"precipitate secession," and , lthat the refuel to Feb
mit the so-called Secession Ordinance to the decision
'of the people is an outrage upon our rights and
liberty, and manifests a spirit of assumption, unfair
news and dictatorship :
That' our congressional neininee, if elected, is 'to
represent us in the United' State&Congress, and'not
in the. Congress of this so-called'"South'ern Confede
racy." •
Union Applicants from the Seceded Stitds.-"--
Washington, March 26.—For several' weeks past,' re
ports have prevailed that many Union men,' in some
of the seceded States, intended to apply to the Go
vernment for appointments therein as Judicial offi
cers. The truth of .these staternenta seems to be con
firmed in part by the fact that the President has no
minated George W. Lane as 7 3udg,e of the Northern

"Mr. Rosier hoped the metion wotild prevail, as
he considered it of the greatist importance that the
official vote of the different ftrishes should he laid
before the Convention, as theywere about to have sub
mitted to them the question df the submission of the
Constitution to the people, tMd it was necessary to
know what the popular vote Was on the Co-operation
and Secession ticket. ' -
"The• President decided delvtte out of order, and
the yeas and nays being demanded on the suspension
of the rules, resulted yeas 23, nays 72; so the ordi

San Domingo to Spain.
It seems that a system of . Spanish emigration, has
been going on at that island, under the supervision
of the Government, the emigrants being instructed
to hoist the Spanish flag when the proper time ar
rived and they had'gained sufficient strength in num.
bees, and then invoke the protection of Spain.
This was done on, the 6th• instant, much to the as
tonishment of the blacks and natives there.
When the news reached; Havana, the Spanish fri
gate Bianca, fully armed. with a large number of
regular troops, was despatdhed thither, sailing on the

IF MEDICINE IS NECESSARY, USE BItANDRETWS PILLS.
They are as pleasant as a truly effective medicine can
be. It. is true you may take purgatives which will ope
rate without pain, because they take the balsamic parts
from the blood, which is worse than being bled, worse
than having the vital fluid abstracted. Beware of them.
Bratidreth's Pills, only take hold of those matters which
the body, when sick,
wants to evacuate. They are
solely an assistant of nature,—nothing'noie;nothing
less. They do not force; they merely assist; and herein
is their.gt•eat value. The, man is thrice blessed who is
so fortunate as to be acquainted with this good and al
most perfect gift to man, because he has to a great ex
tent his body insured in health by their occasional use.
