Y. (Rev, A. MoDougall's.) Forty-one were baptized upon profession of their faith in Jesus, and fifty-nine received into fellowship. Thirty-nine of them were heads of families, Among the candidates who came forward to be baptized was a mother sixty-six years of age, and three of her sons. The whole scene was very affecting.—Evangeiiat. Rev, William Fithian has removed from Mt. Vernon to Oskaloosa, lowa, to take charge of the Second Presbyterian church of that place. Corre spondents will please notice the change. - Oskaloosa contains an enterprising population of between three thousand and four thousand ;—and, though our church is as yet small, we understand its prospects of growth and usefulness are very en couraging. We are pleased to hear that there are indications of th e Spirit's presence in the congrega tion in which our excellent brother has commenced his labors.--/bid.

He will enter upon his duties here on the flat Sab bath in May, Mr. D. is a vigorous thinker, close and analytical in'argument, and.% master of a terse, compact and sOholarly style. Re will be decidedly an acquisition to the borough.--Honesdale Democrat. • Death of Rev. Daniel Crane,—A correspondent of the Evangeliat says that this event occurred at the residence . of the deceased in Cornwall, New York, on the let of April. He had been pastor a 'second time of the church in Chester, Orange county, New York, but more than ten years ago was compelled, to cease from active labors on account of his health. He was born in . West Bloomfield, New York, April 13, 1778. lie ever took a delight in attending the meetings of Presbytery, and in mingling his prayers and praises with theirs. He was a fine specimen of an aged man who retains to the last a lively interest in the Church of Christ." Clerical Changes.—Rev. S. L. Munn, of Breelts vine, has been dismissed from his pastoral charge by the Presbytery of Cleveland. Rev. Wm. HOOARTH, D. D,, is said to be about to leave his position as pastor of the Jeffersonville Avenue church of Detroit. Rev, A. SCOFIELD has resigned the charge of the Presbyterian church at Coronas, Michigan. Rev. R. R. LEWIS has received a call to become pastor of the church is Pana, Illinois. Revival at Danville, 111.—The chord in this place has enjoyed a precious season of revival during the past winter, On Sabbath, April 7th, the day of our communion, eleven persons publicly professed their faith, first fruits of the harvest; two others, also, were added by letter. Presbyterial Action on Newspaper Chouin tim—The following was adopted by the Salem Pres lltery of Indiana, at its late meeting: "Resolved, That it be a standing rule of Presbytery to inquire, at each meeting, what each church is doing to intro -44" and sustain the Ohrielian Herald; and that we will endeavor to introduce a copy into each family in our congregations." . Installation at Sacksonvill c—The Westminster Church, in Jacksonville, Illinois, was lamed some thing like a year ago by a number of members which left the First Presbyterian Church for.the purpose. They now number about fifty, coinmunicants, have erected a commodious edifice of brick, which is neatly finished, and large enough for their ) present wants, and is designed to be their chapel whenever they may build a larger edifice for Sabbath. services. It is pleasantly located, norfar from the' collage, and in a part of the town in which a considerable part of the people have their homes, and which is a very de sirable part for private residences. Rev. D. H. Hamilton, lately of IsTew Haven, ,Con necticut, having been called by this church and con gregation, has labored with them through the past winter, and on Sabbath, the 7th instant, he was installed as their pastor by the Presbytery of Illi nois. • The services were conducted as follows: Constitu tional questions and installing prayer by Rev, A. Hall, Moderator; sermon, by Rev. H. A. Nelsons; charge to the pastor by Rev. William D. Saunders; and the charge to the people by Rev. Cyrus L. Watson.—Presbyterian Recorder. Western Presbyteries.—We gather a number of interesting items from the proceedings of the Ohio and Indiana Presbyteries at their recentapring meet ings, as reported in the Christian Herald. SCIOTO PRESBYTERY took action On Home Missions, the first resolution of which we give entire: Resolved, Ist. That our next General Assembly be requested to make arrangements for an amicable and equitable dissolution of our connexion with said *m oiety in the work of Home Missions, and fora divi sion of the vested funds of said Society, according to the known wishes and ecclesiastical ielations of the several donors, so far as this can , be ascertained. The second resolution calls for a common treasury and central organization for the disposal of surplus funds, leaving each Presbytery as much as possible to the control and support of Hotne Missions in its own bounds. Oa Education, the Presbytery ex pressed itself as pledged for the' present meet with the Synods of Ohio and Indiana, and so:replied , to Secretary Mills' circular. On the same ,subject SA LEM PRESBYTERY voted cordially to concur in any scheme the Assembly may adopt. The. PRESBYTERY or ELYRIA adopted the Secretary's plan so far, only, as to report annually to the Permanent Committee. New York Union Theological Seminary.--Thia Seminary numbers one hundred and thirty-eight members, of whom fourteen are graduates of Amherst College, fifteen of Williams, fourteen of Yale, and twenty are not gradeetei, three . ..ire - from the Sand wich Islands, and one is from France. _ General' , Assemblies of 1861.—Tbe time and place of meeting of the various General Assemblies of the Presbyterian bodies are' as.follows: OLD 80110011, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; May leth. New Sarno!, Syracuse, Nei York, May 16th. CUMBERLAND, St. Louip, ,May 16th. UNITED SYNOD, Richmond, 'Virginia, May 16th. UNITED PRESBYTERIAN, Moutnouth, Illinois, May 15th. REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN, New Ytirk City, , May 15th. OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE RIAN CHURCH; Rev. X. G. Montfort, editor`, 14 .- the Preskyier, has been chosen commissioner to 'the Assembly which meets in Philadelphia by the Pralbytely of Cincin nati. The Assembly in Philadelphia.—The Presbyter having expressed.itself as desiring, the,Assnmbly to take no action on the Slavery question, has since been an object of surprise, if not of.misapprehension,- and thus explains: "If anything is to be a done in the,next. Assembly, we prefer the pro-slavery party to be the movers. If the Synod of South Carolina shall send up their re cords for review, anti-slavery men will be called upon to disapprove their action last :111On which they say, among other things, that the action of the Assembly of 1818 is a dead letter. To approve, of these records is in effect to abolish the antion'of 1818, This action of the Synod of South_Carolina will open the door to re-affirm the old doctrine, and, if the re cords are sent up to -the Assembly, that body will not falter. If, however,. these records are nut on , hand, and if there is no ease of Review and Control, or by Reference, Appeal or Complaint, .Ive shall not desire action on slavery. There are so Many men in our church who are "intensely co.oservative,",thit we would fear that any action which might be pro ; lased in the way of :a, new deliverance, would he be laid onibe tabteroidisPOseri of in 4nolip FOREIGN. The Queen's Late Tilother:--The English corre spondent of the Churchman says, in regard to the late Duchess of Kent: "It cannot be denied that in a worldly, as well as in a political and 'social point'of view, her Royal Highness_was an excellent mother to the Queen; and -that the country owes her - much fur the care and attention she bestowed upon her daughter's training in those respects. 5611, there was k the one thing needful' too much overlooked, it is to be feared, and too great a leaning regarding it, there is reason to apprehend, to the cold, rationalistic 'Germanism' of her native land." Open Ooinnumion.—The following is part of a programme or oircular of iervices . recently issued by Rev. - Mr. Spurgeon. We.betteve it bus reference to the services in connexion with — the opening of the new monster chapel erected by his people: "WEnernsnav, 10, Communion.—Dr. Steen°, Spurgeon, and Dr. Ha milton, will preside. • This seivtee is intended to set forth the oneness of the Church, and the real fellow ship in the body of Christ, which is the real privilege of all her members. Members of the various Pro testant bodies can apply for cargo through their pas tor, or if impossible to do this, through any mem ber of the Church under the care of Rev. C. H. Spur geon." Revival Among the Orphans at Elberfeld.— The S. S. Times has the following in regard to the state of things at Elberfeld, as late as the 4th of March: "Opinion is greatly divided on the subject. The worldly men and the political papers are, of course, vehement in their denunciations of such folly and fanaticism, and many serious Christians have their doubts and their difficulties—all of which have been and are strengthened by the innumerable false hoods which have been circulated respecting the movement. - "The magnitude of the occurrence is seen (be it evil or good) by the following facts, viz.: The city, the province, all parties, are highly excited on the subject. The civic authorities, with the burgomaster at their head, have dismissed the overseers, the di- rectors, and thephysician of the house, on the grounds of disorder and fanaticism. The General Superin tendent of the Rhenish Church and Moderator of the Synod, Dr. Wiesmann, and a Royal Commissioner, Baron Massenbaoh, have been there to see and exa mine the matter; and just now the Presbyteries of the Lutherans and the Calvinists in Elberfeld arb meeting, but the result of their deliharation is as yet unknown. All is excitement. Therais one body in Elberfeld who from the beginning favored the move ment, and these are the Independents:' "The children continue in the saittawonderful ear nest condition as formerly. The number prostrated exceeded a hundred, but most of 'them have found peace and returned to their ordinary business. "Under the present rule of the house, all prayer meetings among the orphans are strictly forbidden, and they are oo longer to be treated religiously, but medically. The difficulty and confusion arising from the sudden changing of so many officers are still very great. "The old officers refused to leave without compul sion, as they were conscious of - having done their duty, and some, of the newly appointed ones refused to take the office, so that the oily authorities have finally appealed to the government of the province to send them eroper officers. "" The main characteristics of the whole movement are these: Awful anxiety about the soul, great ear nestness in prayer, wonderfully clear and correct views of divine truth, confession of sin—all sin, even We most secret, to which add the oft-tnentioned pros trations, and you have the essential eleinents of the movement in Elberfteld." GENERAL. Bible Revision.—Prof. Howard Crosby advocates in ths Christian Intelligeneer, of New York, the ne cessity for a revision of thq .Scriptures, and presents a plan for accomplishing . the work. He says:' Let each evangelical denomination of Christians send three delegates, distinguished for learning and piety, to a General Revision Convention. Let our present Bible. be adopted as the Bible for the AMericaif Church, with. such emendations as _pass the Convention unanimously. Essays and Review's—Ai:Seri= Editzon.— The publishers of "Recent Inquiries in Theology" ("Essays and Reviews") announce a third edition in press. Swords into Ploughshares.—A missionary in India describes a seenawhich made him feel Reif ,iitit.irwx - ':_fvt.olttitilit* ~..anis.l ! -„ isli:',eltli:,ste'tvaitttliis: the prophet's .words were literally. fulfilled. In one of .the districts which the Government ordered to be • disarnied, the various weapons were collected together in heaps, the aggregate weight of which amounted to hundreds of tons. All these implemerlts of "war were destined to nitdergo the change requisite to make them fit for the peaceful labors of:the , husband man. How would this sin-cursed world smile, were the contents of the vast armories among the various nations simultaneously subjected to a like change I Christian 'WWl:gown Theodore Parker on the New England . Sab bath.--A correspondent of the Christian Register, in a communication directed against Sunday music, gives the following: "Without that Sunday, and without that preach ing," says even Theo. -Parker, "Ne* England would have been a quite different land; America another nation altogether ;. the world by no means as far ad vanced as now. I think lam not very superstitious; not often inclined to lean 012 my father's staff rather than walk on myown feet; not over much accustomed to take things on trust because they have been trusted to all along; but :I must confess that I see a vast amount of good achieved by the aid of these two in stitutions, the Sunday and preaching, which could not have been done:vvithout them. Ido not believe the Catholic custom of spending the Sunday after noon in England, before the Reformation, was a good one. It diverted men from the higher- end to the lower. I cannot think that here and now we need amusement so muelf as society, instruction, refine ment and-devotion."... ~ 7b two of the t 1 telt. WAR XXWs.' :The .whole country is- in a war ferment, every other feeling and interest being for the time swal lowed up. The unanimous, expression ,of the. North in favor of sustaining the government by all the vast Means of men and money at our command, is over whelming. Ills needless'to lay before our readers details of the offerings made by banks, and by asso ciations of 'brokers, and .by individuals. The mer chant prince, Stewart, of. New York, offers one mil lion of dollars. Wm. B. Astor, of the same city, offers four millions as a gift, and ten millions as a loan, and banks are actually vieing with each other in .the effort to, secure the reception of the means at their disposal by.the government. In less than a week after the first gun was fired at Fort Sum ter, and in four days •after the President's proclama tion was issued, the head of the column of volun teers for the defence of their country, entered the national capital, being compoied, me are .proud to say, of Pennsylvanians, one company, the Ringgold Artillery, being from Reading, the . place of our na tivity. A regiment in Massachusetth followed and arrived in Washington on Friday. Meanwhile, Jefferson Davis, animated by the worst spirit of reven*e, has issued 'a proclamation calling for.offers of 'privateers against the commerce of the North, which in the unrecognised status of the-Con federacy is nothing but an attempted legalization of piracy, and will subject those responding to it to the extreme and summary punishment visited upon pi rates by all civilized nations of the world. As the means of the poqederate States are likely torun low, it is not inherently improbable , that the -charge of debasing the silver coinage of the New Orleans mint, While retaining the device of the national go: vernment, and striking off the letter-" 0" which' dis tinguished the:New Orleins issue, is true. It is said that such coin has actually been offered and rejected by.the banks in our city, Profound interest attaches to the movements of Virginia. Governor Letchei has issued a proclama tion , breathing hostility to the Union, and calling upon'volunteers to defend the State, and the Conven tion- in secret session, are said to have passed an or dinance of secession by a large majority, whereat there is great rejoicing in the Gulf States, though we should think there would be little joy among the people of the State at the transfer of the struggle from the far South to 'their own borders. The other States of the border generally exhibit sympathy for the South, excepting Maryland and Dela ware the Governors of all the others having answered the President's call for volunteers in the negative, some of them using contumelious:language in their re plies. Among the items of interest we clip the followin • —Heavy shipments of . powder have been atopped in the Ohio River at Cincinnati.- All the River steam ers have been prohibited from taking provisions South. Two steamers have been chartered by the city authorities 'to act,•as_` police boats,. thoroughly armed, and wilt stop and.seareh all pas Sing boats. A Mob in Baltimore has attacked the volunteer trsig..a on, their „way to. Washington, while passing • • on. t e mot in re urn. = Severe were killed on both sides. Obstructions were placed in the way of government vessels leaving Norfolk on Thursday, the 18th, when Captain Pendergrast placed his ships broadside to Norfolk and Portsmonth, and demanded that the ob i3truotions should be removed, else . he would level both cities. • It is added that the citizens complied with. .his Majpr• Anderson, with his command. arrived safely in New 'York, on the steamer Baltic, on the , 18th. He immediately reported. himself to the Sec retary of War as follows: Sir:--Having defended Fort Suinter for thirty-four hours, until the quarters were: entirety burned, the main gates destroyed by fire, the gorge wall seriously injured, and the magazine surrounded by flames and its doors closed from the heat, four ba'i'rels'and• three cartridges of powder only being available, and no provisions but 'pork remaining, I accepted the terms of evacuation offered by Oen. Beauregard—being the same as were offered ,by him on the llth inst., prior to the commencement of the hostilities—and mirChe.d out of the Fort on Sabbath'afternbon; the I.4th inst., with colors flying and drums beatingi bringing away the company and . irar private property, and saluting my flag with fifty .guns.. ROBERT-ANDERSON, ' Major of the b'irst Artillery. Aisle* York hitter says 'of this simple statement that it has convinced even those Who before•suspeeted his candor or his patriotism that he has been, and now as true as steel to the flag of his country": He also says in regard to his reception in New. York It is utterly impossible to describe the excitement throughout the entire city r consequent upon the arri val of Major Anderson and the heroes of Fort Sum ter. Response to the Call for troops.—Offers have been received at the War Department of over 150,000 men, and'the number is being swelled every hour. The Saddest News, and that giving far greatertm easiness, for the time being, than even the secession of Virginia, is the attack-on the Pennsylvania and Massa chusetts treciPs,iihile passing through Baltimore. A train of thirty-six cars, carrying these soldiers, arrived in Baltimore at .14 o'clock, on Friday morning. A number of cars, eight or nine, passed safely from the terminus of the Philadelphia road to that leading to Washington; when the -crowd obstructed the track, requiriwthe remainder to march thiaiigh the Streets. On the way they were assailed in the most outrageous manner, the 'police acting as if half in sympathy with the assailants, Who carried - a secessionist flag. After some of, the soldiers had been struck down with stones and the crowd pressed closely upon them, hooting and reviling, they turned and fired, killing a number -of the crowd. The fire was returned with revolvers, and from two to four of the soldiers were killed, and perhaps twice as many wounded: Of the citizens, the names of six are given as • killed, the number of the wounded not being ascertained; The result is, the Pennsylvania troops being without arms, were sent back to Philadelphia, and the Governor of Maryland, and the Mayor • of the city belie resolved that no more troops shall be allowed to pass through the city to Washington. So treason - creeping Northward and must be next on our borders. The conduct-of Baltin3ore is a painful surprise to us in this part of the country. It is &virtual challenge to transfer the impending struggle to hl3r own limits, in stead of having it fought at Washington or still fur ther South. -We cannot believe that the mass of her respectable citizens approve of this course so destruc tire to her best interests. The coincidence is not a little remarkable that as the first blood spilled in the Revolutionary war was that of the sons of Massachusetts, at the memorable bat tle of Lexington, which took place on the 19th of April, 1775; so the first blood shed in the cause of our glorious Union in 1861, was that of the gallant volunteers from Massachusetts, on this same day, in the disgraceful melee at Baltimore, Blockade of the Seceded Porta—The President has issued his proclamation, establishing the blockade of all the ports in the seceded States. In New York and Boston, the Collectors of Cus toms have refused to grant any further clearances.to ports in the Seceded States, have appropriated Our City councils , One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars for the relief of the families of the 'defenders of their country's flag; fifty thousand dollars for the immediate purchase of arms and munitions for the defence and protection 'cif mit. own homes, and have pledged the credit of the city to the amount of one million of dollars, to maintain the Constitution, and enforce the laws. They, also, uninimousty,,passed an ordinance authorizing the purchilleora'sword to be presented to Major Robert Anderson, as .a testimonial from the, City 'of Phila., diilphia for bis gallant conduct at Fait Sumter. Haa:per's•Ferry Armory was burned by the Uni ted States troops and abandoned on the approach of a company of Virginians, despatched by Governor, lietcher to seize it. 15,000 strtn&W arms were de stroyed. The citizens fired on the troops and took four of their prisoners. The remainder reached Car lisle, Pa., in safety, atter a forced'Osarch of thirty miles in a single night. I t Caxiada. Aroused.—Bosnek4pc I 1.9.—A Cana dian gentleman states that a sympath tic War feeling with the North is aroused in Cana a, and' that six hundred men from Quebec, and a la' 'e number from Montreal, are coming to Boston t.:)ei `tint the regu lar United States army. - ''.: l "' - - • The Pine against the Palii.—"he Illinois State Journal thus contrasts the two ections of our country:—The Northern or 141:1 rates' are able to feed, clothe and support their soldi ry.

The Excitement in Milford; Del.—We are very glad to record the fact, that almost every man in our community still clings to the old flag of our fathers, and is determined to etand by the government in its ef forts to maintain the supremacy of the 'Constitution and the laws. The blood of our citizens is up for the defence of our glorious nationality from the in sults and reproach that has.been heaped upon it by the most uncalled for and 'least justifiable treason that ever raised its head in any civilized nation. The report heti gone abroad that the: secessionists of this State are threatening.to take possession of Fort Dela ware! but where they are to - come from we cannot tell.

Fisher, keeping up 'wonderfully her attach-. ment to those who were much her juniors, they hardly realized that she was- among our most aged women of Harrisburgh. • Her frankness, sincerity, uprightness, friendliness, kindness—prominently also her eminent good sense— and chiefly her earnest, enlightened piety—all leave a fragrance of memory that will not die out for a genera tion. Of all our Christian women we know scarcely any one on whom might be bestowed with such fitness the Apos tle's address—" Elect lady." - Her life was illumined by the light-of a warm, consistent, prayerful piety, extend ing through half a century of connexion with the. Pre sbyterian Church. Even in such ripe old age we had not expected her to die, for she had grown old so grace fully, and seemingly so much vigor, and her. life of prayer seemed yet to be such a necessity to us, that our hope of continued life still struggled against the strong premonitions of death, until the spoiler, in a Sudden hour of mastery, closed his triumphs over our hopei and wishes and prayers.
