In compliance with the request of the Trustees of Carbondale College, a committee was appointed to coiiperate with that body in securing suitable pro fessnes to organize and instruct such classes as may lie formed at the beginning of the next collegiate year, The Revised plan of education was fully en dorsed. THE PRESBYTERY OE RetailAzoo unanimously adopted tho following on Home Missions: The Committee to whom was referred the subject of Domestic Missions would recommend that this Presbytery become auxiliary to the Church exten sion Committee at Philadelphia, and on the follow ing regulations, provided they meet the approbation of said Committee: 1. That the Committee at Philadelphia issue com missions to such ministers, laboring within the bounds of this Presbytery, as may, from time to time, be recommended by the Committee of Presby tery, and for such amounts as named by them. 2. That the Treasure& of Presbytery will honor, for the current year, all drafts drawn by the Perma nent Committee, to the extent of our recommends• tions for such commissions. THE PRESBYTERY or lauxots have voted to approve and adopt the revised plan of education,. WAsn- TENAW adheres to the Synodical arrangement into which they have entered on this subject. On Church estengiort they have resolved that a majority of the Committee had better be in New York, and "at any rate" think the North-West should bo well repre sented in its composition. • THE PRESBYTERY or MADISO N agreed to report their doings to the Permanent Committee on Education, hat deem it inexpedient to derange their existingnr rangements with. other Presbyteries. Mr. John L. French was Housed, and Mr. John P. Heine was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry by this Presbytery, TRUMBULL PassnYrsity reported an un usual number of 'infant or household baptisms. One brother also reported four adult baptisms, the snb jeet of ono of 'which Was sixty-five years old, and another in her eightieth year. The subject of -Home Missions occupied some at tention, end the Presbytery seems inclined to attend to their own Domestic Missions, through a .Presbyce rial Committee; and our surplus funds, if any, to be used to aid the Domestic Millions. of the Synod or General Assembly. Revival in Keokuk, lowa.---Tba church in this place is the largest of our denomination in lowa. It new numbers near one hundred and seventy-five members, Last July it secured the services of the pier, T.ll. Canfield, then pastor of the Oongrega lions' church at Bellevue, lowa. He has earnestly. Proclaimed the Gospel message, both to the church nn t to the impenitent. The truth seemed to reach the hearts of the people. About the beginning of year, Christians became more bumble and ear-, T',l:fr and importunate prayer was made in all the ,„ oj r i ehes for the outpouring of the Spirit. Early in the Methodists began a protracted meeting, 1 : 1 I' Holm drew to it all the congregations of the place. ;,;,• The pastors of. tbe Old School; Free PresbY !in, and New School churches, aided more or less is meetings. God was manifestly present by his Spirit. Christians were. revived and about one hun dred and fifty have since publiiilY , peofeisefl Christ. Of these, the greater part united with the Methodists, hut all the churches shared in , :the u glorious work. The Session of the New School Church has examined and received thirty-eight, thirty:gine of whom en tered into covenant with God anti 'his people last Sabbath. Nearly all of these weiCtOung people, the children of pious parentsfidedicated :to God in in fancy, and ,brought up under the influences of the family altar and the Sabbath School, The College also shared largely in the blessing. • Nineteen of its students became hopeful oonverts.—Evangelest. Revival.—A quiet yet earnest season of religions interest has recently been experienced' ,among the students of Elmira Female College. Very happy re sults have been connected with it, there having been some twenty-five or thirty conversions, while a good state of interest .iu religious things still continues.— Clerical Changes, Calls, &c.---REV. GEORGE C. CURTIS was installed pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Elmira, N. Y., April 17th, by the Presby tery of Chemung. REV. N. GOULD has been released from his pastoral connexion with the church at So montiuk, 111.

Letter from Secretary Seward to Governor Hicks, of Maryland,—The following document is overflowing with manly and noble sentiment; and, while couched in the kindest and most reepeotful language, is calculated to bring the burning hue of shame to the cheek of every Marylander who has read the , story of the Revolution:— DEPARTMENT OF STATE, April 22, 1861. His Excellency, THOMAS H. HICKS, GOVernOr of Mary &Rd: Sia:—l have had the honour to receive your com munication• of this mornitrg, in which' 'yea, informed me that you have felt it to be your'duty to advise the President of the United States•to order elsewhere the troops off Annapolis, and also that no more be sent.' thrOugh Maryland; and that you lave further sug gested that Lord LYONS be requested to act•ae media tor between the contending , parties, is our country to prevent the effusion of blood. ' The President directs me . to acknowledge .the re ceipt of that communication, and to assure you that he has weighed the counsels which it. contains with the respect which he habitually cherishes_ for; the Chief Magistrates - of the several States, and espe cially fur yourself. He regrets, as deeply as any. magistrate or citizen of the country can, that de-. monstrations against the,safety of the United States. with very extensive preparations for the effusion of blood, have made it his duty to call out.the force to Which you allude. The force now sought to.be brought through Mary land, is intended for nothing but the defence of this capital. The President has necessarily confided the choice of the national highway, which that force shall take in coming to this city to the Lieutenant-General commanding the army of the United States, who, like hid only predecessor, is not less distinguished for his humanity than for his loyalty, patriotism, and ; distin guished public service. The President instructs me to add that the national, highway thus selected by the Lieutenant-General has been chosen by him, upon consultatioitmith pronii nent magistrates and citizens of Maryland, as the one' Which, while a route is alisolutely necessary,.is fur ther removed from the populous cities of the State, and with the expectation that it would therefore be the least objectionable one. The President cannot but remember that there hits been a time in the history of our country when a {general of the American Union, with forces desikned for the defence of the capital, was not untVelcome anywhere, in the State of Maryland, and certainly not at Annapolis, then, as now, the capital of that pa triotic State, and then, also, one of the capitals of the Uition. If eighty years could have obliterated all the other noble sennments of that age rn-152aty7abd,'thb"PieSi dent would . be hopeful, nevertheless, that there is one; that would for ever ,remain there and. everywhere. That sentiment is, that no domestic contention what ever, that , may arise among the parties of,this Repub lic, ought in any case to be referred to any foreign arbitrament; least of all, to the arbitrament of a European monarchy. - • - • I have the honour to be, with distinguished consi deration, your Excellency's most obedient servant,. WILLIAM IL SEWARD. The Hostile Attitude of Maryland.—Driren, by the conduct of the Baltimore mob, to take the route by Havre de Grace and Annapolis to Wash ington, it would seem from the above letter, as well as other sources, that the State of Maryland was de termined, so far as in her lay, to prevent the govern ment protecting the national capital from invasion. The Baltimore American, of Tuesday, the 23d of April, says that the rails, from Annapolis to the junction with the Washington road, were torn up, and the stage, road was lined with Marylanders prepared to dispute the passage of our volunteers over Maryland soil. Governor Hicks had taken command of the Maryland troops hastily assembled, and his force was said to amount to nearly 2000 efficient skirm ishers. Our Pennsylvania volunteers, at Camp Cur tin, near Harrisburg, pushed towards Baltimore, and over 3200 encamped near Cockeysville, about 17 miles from that city, which created great excitement among the secessionists, and an apparent disposition to attack the troops. On the other hand, it being understood that these men were suffering from hunger, a wagon load of provisions was sent to them by the Police Commis sioners of Baltimore. However, they were ordered to return to Harrisburg, and their absence was taken advantage of by the heroin Marylanders, to destroy every railroad bridge from Cockeysville to the Penn sylvania line on the Northern Central Railroad. Hon. William Millward, bearer of despatches from the Go vernment, left Washington on Tuesday, the 23d, at 7 o'clock, P.M. He came through Maryland almost the whole distance by night, and was not disturbed. When he left Washington, no More Northern troops had arrived. The road, from Annapolis to Washing ton, was understood to be under the control of the Goverment. The road is but little damaged, and a train of cars passed over it on the 24th. The rails had been removed in various places, but were easily replaced. A reliable report came to Washington be fore lie left, that the Baltimore military had kept walch over the banks all day. The crowd at Baltiinore were becoming more exacting, ordering private persons out of carriages, and driving off. The papers there dare not publish the accounts of these outrages for fear of the mob, and are under a reign of terror. If, by any possibility, says the Press, Washington should be lost to us, such a terrible result will be directly attributa ble, over and above all other causes, to the action of the Baltimore mob, and of the citizens who suffered themselves to succumb to its despotic influence. Mr. F. S. Evans, proprietor of the Baltimore Patriot,reached Philadelphia on Tuesday night, the 23d, having left Baltimore in a covered wagon, on Monday morning, to escape threatened violence. The Baltimore Patriot newspaper had taken strong Union ground, and had become obnoxious for so doing. As soon as the reign of terror commenced in Baltimore, Mr. Evans was among the first of the citizens to be menaced. He, however, remained until Monday morning, when he was informed that it was unsafe to continue, and left, without being able to bring away any of his effects, not even a change of linen. Mr. Evans is a native of Maryland, and an old resident of Baltimore. He represents Baltimore to have been partly under mili tary and partly under mob rule when he left; and he says that there are plenty of Union men in the city, who will act with the Government when it can be done with safety. Opening of the Anntgmlis Route.—"We have not only been obliged to improvise an army, but route to Washington, 'through a State hitherto con sidered loyal, but whose authorities have played the traitor at the critical moment.• The U. S. Gazette, of, the 2.5 th ultimo, says:— The Massuchusetts regiment left Perryville, oppo site Havre de Grace, late on Saturday, the 20th, and arrived at Annapolis in the night, taking prompt mea sures to check a plot found' to be in progress for the sei sure of th eU. S. shi p Constitution. They took care of the town without delay, protected the railroad, and pre pared for the reception of the New York Seventh Re gitneut, which arrived in the course of Monday. More remarkable than all, they had occasion to tender to Gov. Hicks their assistance in suppressing .threat ened slave insurrection on the morning of Tuesday, thus proving the truth of their claitn to come as sup porters of law , and order against an:trolly.. . 1 The most vigorous efforts were in progress on , yes-1 terday and the previous day to co-operate with the authorities and forces , at Washington, and the delay to goon was rather from the propriety of preserving strength at' the several points thiough wthcb-the troops now hastening forward would be required ,to pass, t h an b ecaus e resistance was apprehended. The : ship ConstitutiOn was supplied with a full crew and: a detachment- of soldiers, and towed so far out as to A.,we . x .. ,i,c , A1t,,,::.:g5g,-1.41t•-,z-i,4.1t:.,ap,4 ..;_t#.0,t.6,-ra..#.:v.:l;jpt.,. save her from danger of capture by any armed party from any point on the bay. ' Steamers and tugs are supplied to this line of communication to Annapolis in such numbers now as to secure it against any of fentive movement of parties in Baltimore or else- Wheie. The troops are all in excellent condition and Spirits. It is grateful to know that the movement of Massachusetts troops has been so sfttisfaatory in this last case, none being put to serious hardships, at the same time that they have been enabled to render the country important services. Union Meeting in Elkton, Md.—ELKTON, Md., April 23d.—A large Union meeting was held here to day; and attended by 800 delegates.:Resolutions were passed declaring that,-let Maryland do what she will, Cecil county will.not secede. Loyalty in the 'Border States.—From various sources we clip the following items:— The Union men of Western Virginia are appa rently determine.d not to be eXpatriated by the ac tion of the Secessionists, now in - secret session in the- city of Richmond. Wheeling is the nueleus of the Union sentiment, and its people are unmistaka bly for sustaining the Government and defending the honor of our flag. All through AlarshalL Preston,. Mitson,- Tyler, Wetzel, and the other counties alony, the northern and western frontiers, the movement is sustained with a wonderful and gratifying Unanimity. Steps are being taken to organize a Provisional. G overnment under the p . rotection of the Administration, and a determination is expressed to resist in the most absolute and unconditional manner any effort to esta blish the rule of the Montgothery. hierarchy., ST. Louis, April 24th.—The enlistment of volun teers has progressed rapidly during the last, two days, and there are now about 2500' men in the arsenal grounds Subject to the ordera of the Seere tory of War. Other companies vvill reedied to morrow. It is thought that the entire four regiments, asked fqr .by. the President, will be raised ,in .this county, notwithstanding the refusal of Gov. :Jackson' to comply with' the requisition. • - At Frankfort,- Ky., a company of 113 volunteers for the Secessionist army, were attacked, on the' 22d by the citizen's, rind got away - vfith Great excitement prevailed, and threats were made to tear up' the •track. The citizens declare that , no Se-. cession troops shall pass through that-place.: The Far, South.—Arew Orleana, April 24th.—The war fever here is raging intensely, as it is also in all parts of the State, and in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and other cities and towns in the Confederate States. Indeed, so extensive are the preparations for the coming and inevitable conflict, that everything in the way of business is lost sight of, and thousands,are arranging their personal effects in anticipation of the worst. Scarcity of Provisions in ,the Sonth.—We learn, saye a Cincinnati paper, from good rathority, that when Gen. Pillow telegraphed from Nashville to Montgomery that he could raise ten thousand volun teers to join the Southern army, he was informed that the troops were not desirable unless accompanied with provisions. This shows where the pinch is in the Cot ton States. We learn also that the must pressing or ders for provisions are received in this city from the extreme South every day, and that fur some time past. Treason baffled in the North.—A. brigantine, with 8000 kegs of powder on hoard, which left New York in December for the South, was driven back • providentially by a storm; and, upon reentering the port, was seized by the authorities. A Southern officer, in command of the U. S. survey`vessel Va rina, attempted to make off with his vessel from Brooklyn navy-yard; but the crew suspecting some thing .wrong, succeeded in arresting her movements, and she now lies in the stream. A great number of seizures of arms, accoutrements_provisions, &c., for the South, have been made in. New York, Philadel phia, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati. Activity of Pennsylvania.—Seven thousand more than the requisition demanded by the Presi dent have been accepted by the Governor from the actual-force and. pressure of the public will. More than 20,000 men , have offered their services, and have been ordered' to hold - themselves' In readiness to march at a moment's warning; for it is evident that Pennsylvania will have to make.up the deficiency*of Virginia and Maryland. The •sewing operations at the Girard House and the Arsenal, in Philadelphia, are going, on with rapidity. By Saturday ten thou sand suits were made, and by Monday th‘ey would adorn the backs of the volunteers. Among the great num ber of -ladies who have volunteered their services to aid in the sewing of the military clothing at the• Girard House, are three grand-daughters of Robert Morris, of Revolutionary memory. Washington.—The concentration of interest upon the national capital, during the past two weeks, has been intense beyond description; and riiiied:teii; height far surpassing what was ever previously felt, when, by the action of the Baltimore mob, all direct communication with it was cut off. We suppose the feelings of an agonized parent, who has been com pelled to leave a child behind in a burning building, with staircases destroyed, and.fiendish men putting ladders, and Means of access to-the building, out of his reach, as he vainly strives to rescue the child, somewhat represent the feelings of tfie people towards the beleaguered capital. Reinforcements in any great numbers did not begin to reach it, until the 25th, leaving such an ample opportunity of attack by Vir ginia Secessionists as they would not have been slow,, under such leaders as Henry.A.Wise, Roger A. Pryor, and others, to have used, had it not been for the destruc tion--by the U. S. troops of Harper's Ferry Arsenal, with its stand of arms, and the scuttling and bnra ing of the ships in the Norfolk navy-yard, w hich they doubtless intended to use against the •capital.. Among the most. valuable property destroyed at the navy yard, were the line-of battle ship New York, on the stocks; Merrimac, first class screw; Germantown, sloop-of-war, just ready for sea; Plymouth and Dol phin, brigs; also the ship of the 'line' Pennsylvania, and. Columbia and Potomac, frigates.; Columbus and Delaware, liners, all of the last 'named being hulks and nearly worthless. - The following extracts from a Washington letter, give an idea of the means employed , to enable the few brave men there to hold their positions if attacked:— All Saturday night, the 20th, movable barricades were being constructed for the protection of the lower story of the Treasury Department, which have since beenbompleted. The material used is four-inch plank. Sand-bag barricades, the best in the world, have been prepared to be used on the steps-of the Department porticos, should that be necessary. At least five hun dred troops of regulars and volUnteers bivouac there nightly now, so stationed as they can defend it, against a storming party of thousands, the building being well nigh thorough fOrtification in its strength of construction. A telegraphic wire has been Carried into the Exe cutive mansion, connecting with the main, lines to the various sections of the country. There is a great demand for flour this morning, and the prices have gone up from $7.50 to $l2, ac cording to grade. Some of the merchants say they have none except for their own family use. The Steamship Persia.—Agents for the Pur chase of Arms.--Nsw YORK, April 240.—The steamship Persia, which was to have sailed to-day, has been detained tillto-morrow, to carry out de spatches from Lord Lyons to the British GOvern ment. Among her passengers are Commodore Au lick, the Swedish Minister,lton. J. F. Morse, of Maine, and, the agents of Nw York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, who go to England to purchase arms for those States. The arming of the light draft fleet for the coming blockade, commenced - April 24th, at the Brooklyn NavV-yard. War News of Friday Last.--Annapolis and. the Junction.—Baltimore papers of Thursday say: The General Government succeeded, the morning of the preceding day, in opening telegraphic communi cation between Washington and Annapolis. The Maryland companies, which had been stationed at the junction, and on the line of the railway, had to recruit, or had moved to the county roads to oppose the passage of the Northern troops. The Annapolis Railroad was in possession of the Northern troops, which were arriving at Annapolis, and they were being transported by rail to Washing ton—without opposition, as far as has been heard from. A despatch from the operator at the Annapolis junction, received at the Camden station, shortly af ter noon, yesterday, stated that the northern troops had left Annapolis, five tfiousand strong, or more, and were then approaching the Junction. They kept the railroad track, and had dragoon pickets and cannon, with several howitzers, and were moving in regular columns, extending over a mile in length. The body includes the Seventh Regiment of New York. The column was expected to reach the capi tal last evening. As far as known, there was no in terruption to their passage. In Baltimore, flour has risen to sixteen dollars per barrel—the same per ton for coal. Orders have been issued by the authorities, forbidding any pro visions to leave the city.. The election in that, city, held on the 24th, fur members of the State Legisla ture, was a mere form. The Press says: "Baltimore •has, as a general thing, been remarkable for the no velty of its elections and for the singular and ener getic influences under which they have been con ducted. This last election is remarkable, even for that city. The total vote cast in all the wards is but 9,249, electing ten representatives pledged to seces sion. To this ticket there was no opposition—as "opposition" there is no longer a question of fran chise, but one.of life and liberty. The total vote cast at, the recent Presidential election in November was 30,148." • A netnber of fugitives from Baltimore now in this - city field a 'meeting on Thursday last, and measures were taken for their relief, as they were in a destitute condition. How far tiie mob and lower classes in that city are to be held exclusiVely responsible for the recent outrages, appears from the following re marks made by one of these fugitives, who said: "I saw several prominent merchants of the city carrying large anchors on to the, railroad track." Troops Reaching Washington.—From Friday, April 19th, when the Ringgold Artillery, from Read ing, Pa., with other forces from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, entered the Capital, until Thursday, the 25th, the gallant volunteers Who followed them were struggling' to surmount the.`Obstaeles which treacherous Marylanders laid in..their way to the Capital. The famous " Seventh-"Fof, New York, % , ar rived at Annapolis on Monday, where the Eighth, of Massachusetts, bad preceded them a few hours. But the road from Annapolis having been torn up in se veral places, they were delayed until Wednesday, when they took up the line of march to Annapolis Junction. From this point, which they reached on Thursday morning, The 25th, they were rapidly transferred by rail to Washington, and from the time of their arrival, as they, left ,sulficient force at Annapolis and along-the Railroad to guard against further outrage, it was felt that lie.way to the na tional Capital was opened bnce more,- and that the city was free from danger. On Saturday, the . 21th, it is reported that there were 25,000 troops in Washington. " • Baltimore and Marylaxid.--The most indisputa ble.evidences have been received of a : powerful re.ic tion of public sentiment in Baltinore. The, Stars, and Stripes , are flying in many onspicuous 'places again. The Leglslatute of the sate . will not pass an ordinance if secession,=hut , Snly •to arm . the - State. • Gallant Exploit of Illinois lunteers.—Act ing under orders from the President of the United. States, an extiedition of Illinois N lunteers crossed over to St. Louis on the night of the 25th, advanced upon the Federal Arsenal at St. Aids, and brought away immense stores of artillery, ammunition, and small arms, which had been at`that post by the'Government. Among the articles rechvefed, were, twenty-one thousand stand of small arms ; 'Mid a park of artil lery. More Troops from Pennsylvania.- - -A requisi tion.froin the General Governnietit was received on the 28th of April; through the hands of General Patterson, for twenty-one mare 'rbgiments—tiventy infantry, and one cavalry—rnakinfi a total for Penn sylvania of thirty,-eight regirnehts = twenty-nine thousand five hundred men.. Application for filling all this contingent have al ready been filed at the- Adjutant General's office, save fur four regiments, giving a chalice for Philadel phians. A Decided Answer.—A depittation of sixteen Virginians and eight Marylander.. visited the' Presi dent on Monday, the 21st, and deTanded a cessation of .hostilities until after the session 'of Congress. Mr. Lincoln, of course, declined the proposition. One of the deputation said that 75,000 14Iarylanders would contest the passage of . troops over her Soil, to which the President replied that he presumed there was room enough ,on her Soil 'to bury 75,000 The Governor ofDelaware hits called out troops for the, defence of the State,i leaving it optional with, them to muster for the Government. A regiment will be furnished the governmenj 'from Wilmington alone if necessary. Dela*are:is all right. A telegram from Richmond tells us that "the Secessionists celebrated the passage of the . act of Se cession by the Convention, by placting a negro astride the statue of Washington in the Capitol," as a type of the new order of things. A More appropriate em blem could not have been devised. "A negro astride the-statue of IVASIIrwcToN" exactly expresses modern Virginia, where the breeding of slaves for sale en grosses the .greater part of the ,capital, arid is the chief source of revenue of the people. ; Virginia and the- Sonth.--*he Eastern section of this State has, welcomed .to her borders the lead -ers'in the Southern rebellion. Alex..H. Stephen.s was at Richmond on Monday riight, where he was serenaded by the people, and made a speech. Ile was not so furious for seizing the Ctipital as when at a greater distance from it,. In Wheeling, Measures are, being taken for a meeting of the North-Western counties of Virginia, on the 13th Of May, with a view to division film the rest of the State.

His nephew has enlisted in a Pennsylvania regiment. The Result of the ,War Prejudged by, the South.—lt is a certain and significant fact that, when a Southerner wishes to place his' wife and chil dren in safety, he sends them Nearn.

A Thrilling Incident at Camp Curtin.—AN KNERICA N EAGLE SURVEYS .THE CAMP.—One of the most thrilling incidents connected with the' military operations of the day,-took place at Camp Curtin on Saturday afternoon, the 26th. A number of persons were engaged in raising.the Stars and Stripes over the main building, used as the headquarters of the officers, and, just as everything was in readiness and the Men bad seized the halyard to xun up the flag, a large EAGLE, came &twine one knew where, hovered over, the flag, and sailed majestically over the en campment while the flag was run , Up! Thousands of eyea were upturned in a moment,and as,the noble bird looked down, the cheers of three theueancl men rent the air. Never was such ,ogatior paid the , "ltn; penal Bird tifJove."

In the days.of the Roman Republic this would have been looked. upon as a glo rious omen, and we do not see why Nve should not look upon it as such now. Never was an incident looked upon with more favor.

It is true you may take purgatives whictt WM:Ope rate without pain, because they.take the balsamic part from the blood, Which'is worse than being bled, worse than haVing the vital fluid abstracted.
