Many Christians in Central New York as well as in Northern Ohio, know the name of Elisha Taylor. He has been identified with the city of Cleveland from its early settlement, and as a leading Christian and Elder in the. Presbyterian Church, an uncompromising opposer of iniquity in every she e, and a large and wise giver to every worthy object, he has left a track of blessings be• bind him which will lung be bright in the memory aif us all. He dies in a good old age, and was the senior Elder in the Euclid street church. He has served his generation by the will of God, and' is fallen asleep. [Mr. Taylor was one of the originators of the Church Breeden Fund, and was always looked up to with respect in the councils of our church.] Patriotism and Piety in Northern Ohio.— The same correspondent writes:—Northern Ohio is rallying strongly to the defence of the Government. About four thousapd volunteers are in camp in Cleve loud, and fresh troops arrive every day. It is re markable, thus far, that this strong excitement of popular and patriotic feeling has not seemed to abate, in the minds of our churches or congrega tions, their sensibility to religious truth. The two months past have witnessed some very powerful revivals in this vicinity, and the spirit of prayerful ness and of attention to personal religion has seemed to be widely on the increase. The volunteers from this region are very generally men of character. They are, many of them, going about this business in solemn earnest, and they have no intention of leaving the work half done, They are resolved that this conflict shall be the lest one with secession, and with the entire system of American Slavery, as a po litical despotism, and it behooves the powers that be to understand 'that whatever they may be thinking of, the people will not stop short of this result. There is a conscience behind each musket, and a re. ligious devotion nerving each right arm. It would be no strange thing if it should prove at lest that many a young man began a Christian life in that boar, when, urged by , voice within, he gave himself to the de fence of his country. Divine service is performed in the camp by some one of our clergymen every evening. Acts of Presbyteries,—lown Cent, at its recent meeting, unanimously adopted a paper recommend ing the adoption of a distinct lino of home missionary policy on the part of our church, changing the style of the committee in charge from "Church Extension Committee" to that of "Committee on Home Mis sions." A Committee of NEWARK Presbytery re ported the organization of a German Church in Newark, which is at present under the charge of Rev. Hermann Bielfeld, formerly of the Claseis of the Reformed Dutch Church, of New York. Pres bytery also received under its care the First Church aG Mendham, and its worthy . pastor, Rev. David Magie, Jr., son of Rev. Dr. IVlagie, of Elizabeth.; and. licensed Messrs. James Robertson and Isaac R. Cald well. CATSKILL gave, as its judgment, that the in terests of Christ's cause would, in the work of Home Missions, be better promoted by the several bodies acting separately for themselves as independent de nominations, who are nevertheless bound together by . the common ties of Christian fellowship and union. It also approved of the Revised plan of Edu cation, Dumyat approved the plan of education submitted by the Assembly's Committee. The sub ject of Home Missions was the occasion of an ani mated discussion, and the opinion was decided that our church should assume, at the earliest practical moment, the support and control of its own home missionary associations. This, it was believed, the exigencies of the times required. Commissioners to General Assembly.-OT ITAIVA.—Rev. Charles H. Force and Elder Milo' uttle. lowit CITY.—Rev. Isaac W.

MR. S. HARRIS HYDE was ordained to the Gospel Ministry, by the Presby. tery of St. Louis, on the 24th of April, and installed pastor of the Rock Hill Church, near Webster Station, ten miles west of St. Louis. REV. F. M. Diexicx, of Omaha city, Nebraska, was received from the Pres bytery of Cincinnati and his church was taken under the care of the Presbytery of Des Moines. REV. J. 11. WILSON was received by the Presbytery of Hamil ton, Ohio, April 24th, from the Presbytery of Cayuga. Prof. Wilson has charge of the Department of Natu ral Sciences in Farmers' College, Cincinnati, and preaches Sabbath mornings to Mt. Pleasant Church. Joeu P. Witadasisex, who, last fall, commenced la boring as a missionary of the American Board among the Dabkotahs, at the Lower Sioux Agency, was or dained by the Dahkotah Preebytery at its session of April last. Rev. IL DEXTER has removed to Pavilion, Genesee county, N. Y., where he has been preaching for a year past. Correspondents will please take no-' tic°. itevivals.—Ttart,y-six members were admitted to the membership of the FIRST CHURCH, CHICAGO, on e recent Sabbath, twenty-six of them being received on profession of their faith. These are a portion of the fruits of the religious interest which has been en joyed by this church for the last few months. They were all adults, the most of them being heads of fa milies. The Narrative of the State of Religion in Catskill Presbytery showed some most precious fruits of the working at' the Spirit. The Entsr CHURCH or DURHAM, Rev. E. L. Being's, more especially . than any others, has been blessed with the outpouring of the Spirit. Quite a large number have been led to indulge a hope In Christ, and the pastor thinks he may hope that thirty, or more, have really passed from death *into life. Unto God be all praise. The Church at TURIE RIVERS, MICHIGAN, under the care of Rev, 1. A. Ranney, is in a very prosperous condi tion. It reports au addition of twelve received on profession. Paco of the total. NEWS OF THE STRUGGLE. As a consequence of the vigorous ,policy of the President, and the united and overwhelming response of the powerful North to his summons, we Bed the Suothern people giving evidence of hesitancy in their career, while in Baltimore and Maryland the, reaction against opposing the Government is fully established. But an example must be made of the arrh.conspiraturs there, as well as all over the rebel -11(ms district. On April 30th, three spontaneous 1 :,alon meetings were held in different sections of Bal timore. They were well attended. Straight•out Criin rrso/utions were adopted in favor of sustain ing the government, expressing approbation 'fir `the viurse pursued by General Scott, and the determine to maintain the honor of the national flag. The ;,, ``" / I'mo/ inteiligencer of the 30th ultimo announces I it both !louses of the Legislature df Maryland last Passed a resolution affirming the right of the rirmol Government to mar& troops through Mary without hinderance, to go to the defence ofthe Capital. v• . of lrginia there probably exists no small degree n .""rawed Union sentiment, A gentleman holding after (46'1 week ' s is WashinFton, who arrived there ° he week's stay in Virginia, communicated the important fact that the vote against Secession in the secret session of the Virginia Convention was fully fifty, and not sixteen, as reported. This information was derived from a prominent member of the Con vention. And Governor Letcher has ordered volun teers to wait until summoned before coming. to Rich mond, and has appointed officers to see . that North ern vessels heretofore seized are restored to their owners, Missouri and Kentucky are probably be yond the reach of any higher degree of Secession fe ver, and wilt have the good sense to stay where they are. St. Louis furnishes several regiments to the Na tional Government. The reaction, too, is visible in the case of such ar tery and navy officers as had hastily resigned. It i s stated by those who hive reliable inforthation, that the applications to get back into the service from naval officers, who had resigned from various CllllB6B before the present crisis, including a large number from the South, exceed the current resignations. It helps the reaction in Maryland not a little that the Virginia forces at Harper's Ferry have not suffi ciently respected her rights as a sovereign State. The citizens of Weverton, Frederick county, Maryland, have sent a message to Governor Hicks, complaining of the outrages of these troops in searching the pri vate dwellings of Marylanders for arms, and praying the adoption of suitable measures to prevent, their repetition. More recent advises from the legislature at Frede ricksbutg show that while Secession is not seriously contemplated by the Maryland Legislature, a captious" spirit towards the National GovernMent prevails, and the marching and stationing of troops in and through her borders is regarded with a suspicious eye, as if the power of our Government could or would be employettlagainst any-but traitors, which, indeed, we doubt not, many of the existh3g lekislatirre are in heart. • • " Judge Bond, ofthe Criminal Court of Baltimore, in charging the Grand Jury, called their attention particularly to the attack of the mob on the military on the 19th, that the guilty may be brought to pu niehment. " • His whole charge was n fearless and patriotic ap peal for the restoration of order, and for the meting out of justice to those concerned in the terrible affray. _He said: "The very existence of society depends upon your faithful discharge of the (let) , now devolved upon you. • , Your investigation is not to be con fined to the occurrences of that day alone. You will inquire whether there was pre-concert and prepara tion, and by whom! You are bound to present those who aided in the destruction of the railroad, prevented the safe march of the troops, and assisted in impeding their passage. At the same time, it is your duty to inquire whether any of• our own citizens were, with out justitieition or provoasition, fired upon "by the troops and killed." WaShingtOn City.—Reporters and letter-writers, and in fact all persons not accustomed to military movements, readily fall into error as to the number of troops and are certain, without iiorbe'exferience, to over-estimate them. The"number of troops in Washington was represented as twenty-five thousand more than a week ago. In all :probability it does not exceed that number now. But, from the arrival of the ith New York Regiment, and the completed opening of the route by Anaapolis two weeks ago, the Capital was felt to be safe. • The following are given as probably well foudded opinions of, the posi tion of the Cabinet and of the designs they cherish. One thing we know with certainty, that newspaper reporters are not,made the confidants of the Cabinet, nor are editors consulted as to the proper policy to be pursued, or the beat mode of prosecuting the campaign. Advises from Washmn.rox assure us that the Go vernment is fully determined on war—an active and aggressive war, to vindicate the power and dignity of the United States. Mr. Lincoln has, long been strongly in favor of this policy, and BO have Messrs. Blair, Chase, and Cameron. Messrs. Seward and' Welles at first dissented, but have at length yielded, to the general voice of the people. In allusion to the recent attacks in the newspapers upon the Admi; nistration, Mr. Lincoln said: "We can afford to pass, them by with the dying words of the Massachusetts- statesman, 'We still livel' lam sure ,they don't worry me any, and I reckon they don't benefit the parties who write them." The Gov. of Virginia is in formed by Gen. Scott that as soon as the Federal autho rities are apprized of any aggressive movement of the Con federate or Virginia troops, the United States forces' will at once advance upon Richmond and Norfolk. [We give this as we find it; but would a.'wise Gene ral, such as we believe Scott to be, parley thus with one who is working into the hands of the enemy?— there are no "ifs" in military intercourse.] • Notirithstanding the large number of troops in Waishingten i and althea& -many of-them -ore per4' mitted to have free range of the streets during the day, nothing Whatever approaching to even a slight disturbance of thb peace has occurred in any lecality. More recently, the. New York louaves have been guilty of some minor disturbances. Information has been received at this city that twenty-five thousand stand of Minnie rifles will be forwarded by certain parties in Toronto. WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS.— The U. S. Gazette, of this city, which appears to be very well posted, says: "First, they want and will fight for the undisputed command of the whole Atlantic and Gulf coast of the Union, as well as of our Pacific Stites and territories. Until they were prepared to assert and maintain this they did not care to begin any active measures which might induce the enemy to do mischief. Second, they will not be content to have the commerce and navigation of the Mississippi condemned to manacles. They will own the whole vast river system of the West, if they have to cover its waters with navies and guns, and cause its banks to bristle with armies and batteries. Third, they will keep the whole of the national, territories at all hazards, and no matter what may be the cost of life or treasure. They will not part with an acre of it, and will make good their claims at the point of the bayonet, not only at the South, but at the West, and wherever battle may be offered. They will take and hold these territories with the strong arm of power, and those who embark in any attempt to seize • any part of them will meet armies and batteries, and the iron storm of death. Fourth, whatever be the future, they will demonstrate that the United States, so far from being a weak, ir resolute, imbecile or helpless league of loosely tied States, form a strong, compact, resolute, powerful NATION, with the resources end the strength to main tain their actual supremacy as the dominant power of this continent." Plan of the Campaign.—lf Jeff. Davis should be weak enough to concentrate all his forces for an at tack on Washington, the mai( rityiof the South will be overrun and subjugated by great armies acting from Pensacola toward Montgomery, • from Indianola, through Texas and Louisiana, northeastward, from Cairo down the Mississippi, from Ohio and Pittsburg through western Virginia, and from Maryland down the sea board.— U. S. Gazette. Piracy onthe Mississippi River.—Thenavigation of the Mississippi river is uecorning very precarious. The rebels are seizing Northern vessels and confisca ting stores intended for the use of the Government, Cannot Die.—Dr. R. J. Breckenridge said not long since, in reference to the nefarious attempt to destroy the nation: " They whoknowtbe past of human affairs, and they who reflect on that eternal logic which is of the es sence of things and events, know that a nation like this cannot die. It is hardly possible to conceive how it can ever be murdered; but die it cannot. It would be as easy to conceive that France could be blotted from the map of Europe as one of its greatest nations, and restored to the condition it. occupied before its con quest by Caesar, as to conceive of the American na tion being annihilated, its sublime career cut short, its boundless possessions parcelled out, and an igno minious retinue of numberless aristocracies, demo cracies, dukedoms, and principalities permanently filling its seat of empire and of glory." What this eminent man demonstrated by argument, is now proven over again by the inexorable logic of facts. The process will be a.very costly on; but the result is as sure as the finger of the Almighty. The great American nation can neither die nor be murdered.- Christian Ihtelligencer. Colored Men fought for the liberty and inde pendence of America during the Revolution.—The Historical Magazine gives the following account of some of their sei vices: (Vol. 3, 1810, page 253) "The black regiment distinguished itself greatly at Red Bank, and claimed the honor of having been the first to stand and repel a British charge of bayo nets." During the war of /512, with England, there was a company of colored volunteers in Philadelphia. Co lored sailors did good service in the navy. The fili busters GfNew Orleans are now raising colored com panies. What impropriety can there be in our de fending ourselves by the same means ?—Press. The Congress of the Confederate States met at Muntgoutery.un the 29th of April.' Jeff. Dri. via' message takes the ground that the Confederacy is an independent nation, and talks very largely of the certainty of their success in the war proclaimed by the "free States." 'He insists that the South desires only to be let alone and acknowledged as indepetident; of the contemplated attack ori Washington, not a word was said, if the reports which have been allowed to reach us are correct. Southern News.—A Mobile paper of the 27th ult., says: "GCMGS DASIIIEL, of this city, who returned from. Virginia last night by the one o'clock train, says the Memphis Appeal of the 25th, reports that no doubt exists there of Cleo. Scott's resignation. Ile says that, the Virginia Oonvenfibn received, assurances from him in writing that he 'would resign in ease of the secession of that State, about a week ago! amtvirait prollttierian and Otittott 011/111911i0i, "He further learned from a United States Army officer, who lind just tendered his resignation and left !IVashington city two or three days since, that Scott had not only resigned, but was held as a prisoner of 'ar and nol allowed to leave the ciey.—The officer al luded to was a resident of East Tennessee, and was On his returtyhome!!" Fort Pickens was successfully reinforced on the 16th of April, by the Atlantic, and on the 19th, by the Illinois; with men, flying artillery, provisions, horses, and munitions of war. Slanghter at Port 'Moultrie.—A number of in dependent reports reach us of the slaughter Major Anderson's guns accomplished at Fort Moultrie; there is still great doubt of their reliability. The.captain of a vessel, hailing from a Virginia port, which lay at a wharf near Fort Moultrie, has reached New York city. He states that on. Sabbath night . "spar dead bodies were carried across his deck to the land ;" that both he and his first mate saw and counted them; that on Monday night '"forty dead bodies were car ried out at one time, and sixty at another." Western Virginia Trne to the tinion.—The Press says: "Virginia is not Florida, nor yet South barOlina. Her, brave sons in the Pan Handle will fight the tyrants of the tide-water to the last. They will, as I predicted, refuse to yield to the decree of Secession, and have already, in defiance of Letoher and yirise,,etirolled twenty-six ,hundred men for the GOVertintent,Whci will reach us over the Pennsylva nia.Oentre.4.biivay of the Ohio River. Rather than yield,-they will demand re-admission into the Union as a separate State." • Several fugitives from Fairfield county, Virgi n*.priginally New Yorkers, but for the last - sixteen years farukep t An,thAt vieinity,,have arrived in Phila delphia,. These g,entlentetviepresenftl;iings as being in a -horrible condition, and state that'every .Nortbern arid Eastern man will be compelled to leave the State suffer the confiscation of his property. It is their intention to make their homes in New York State. Spy ArrestecL—The following is but one of a num ber of similar incidents proving the activity of the Government agents: The captain of the Sixty,ninth arrested a SPY on Monday night, at the Annapolis junction. He was just from Montgomery, and had important -papers with him. .He gave ilia name as Henry.Granval, a brother of Granval,- of Hoboken, killed' by-a Cuban' some time ago. -Capture of 450 ,Vnited States Troops by the Texans.--NE w Ottimws, May 2.--Colonel an Dorn, with' eight hundred Texas troops, captured four hun dred and fifty 'United States troops, under Major F. Sibley, who were at Indianola, and attempted to escape in 'two fishing vessels. Colonel Van Dorn pursued them in three small steamers, and shortly after their route seawardly was cut off by a steamer from Galveston, with one hundred and twenty men and three pieces of artillery. Government Espionage at Cairo.—At Cairo, the Most important strategetical point in the West, two or three thousand soldiers have promptly been posted. They will see that neither the Ohio nor the Missis sippi be made tributary to, the plans of the rebels. The steamer C. E. Hillman was ; stopped by these troops, and eight hundred kegs of powder, one hun dred tons of lead, nine cases of guns, and several boxes of pistols, bound for Tennessee, confiscated. On board the steamer J. D. Perry there were seized twenty-five kegs , lead, eight kegs shot, and thirty bindles d,estined for Memphis. A Mr. Greiner has been seized and held to bail in $lO.OOO in. this city, on charge of aiding in the capture of Fort Pulaski, near Savannah. The prose cuting officer said: "The Court must have judicial knowledge that the United States were now engaged in•dtternptini tO restore the courts of• law in the re volted States, and thiS Court must presume that within some reasonable period the courts of the United States will again be open in Georgia, and it was his duty, :if% prosecuting officer, to ask that the defendant beheld.':';.. Mare Swindling.—GoTernor Brown, of Georgia, has issued a proclamation prohibiting the payment of, debts due Northern creditors until after the ter mination of hostilities: - , The blockading force, under Captain Stringham, will consist of at least fitly war vessels, accompanied by sufficient steam transports for the accommodation of a land force twenty thousand strong. Thus it will prove sufficient to make an efficient blockade of any inlet on the Southern coast into which any vessel drawing six feet of water might, otherwise, enter. Second - Proclam' ationbytherresident.—WAsli - - /NGTON, May 3d.—The following document has just been issued by the President of the United States: A PaoCIAMATION.—Whereas, the existing exigen cies demand immediate and adequate measures for the protection of the. National Constitution, and the preservation of the National Union, by the suppres sion of the insurrectionary combinations now exist ing in several States for opposing the laws of the Union and obstructing the execution thereof, to which end' a'military force, in addition to that called forth by my proclamation of the 15th day of April, in the present year, appears to be indispensably neces sary. Now, therlfore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, and Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy thereof, and of the militia of the se veral States when called into actual service, do hereby call into the service of the United States forty-two thousand and thirty-four volunteers, to serve for the period of three years, unless sooner discharged, and to be mustered into, service as infantry and cavalry. The proportions of each arm, and the details of en rollment and organization will be made known through the. Department of War. And I also direct that the regular army of the United States be increased by the addition of eight regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and one regiment of artillery, making altogether a maxi mum aggregate increase of twenty-two thousand se ven hundred and fourteen officers and enlisted men, the details of which increase•will also be made known through the Department of War. And I further direct the enlistment for not less than one, nor more than three, years, of eighteen thou sand-seamen, in addition to the present force, for the' naval service of the United States. The details of the enlistment and organization will be made known through the Department of the Navy. The call for volunteers hereby made, and the di rection for the increase of the regular army and for the enlistment of seamen hereby given, with the plan of organization adopted for the volunteer and for the regular forces hereby authorized, will be submitted to Congress as-soon as that body assembles. In the meantime, I earnestly invoke the co-opera tion of all good citizens in the measures hereby adopted fOr the effectual suppression of unlawful vio lence, for the impartial enforcement of constitutional laws, and for the speediest possible restoration of peace and order, and with these, of happiness and prosperity throughout our country. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be af fixed.

Full four regiments of volunteers have been mustered into the U. S. service at St. Louis. The Cabinet a Unit.—The agents of the Asso ciated Press say: "WASHINGTON, May sth.-11 is not considered for the public advantage that the erroneous statements of the proceedings in the councils of the Administra tion should go abroad.

It was a meet type of the death w ich is to us an added cross, and to him a tri r um ph though the merits ofthe Crucified. That emblem to which the Christian clinis, in both life and death, could not have found a more appropriate resting place than upon the bosom of him\who; for so long; ernhMeed, , the Cross of - Jesus; widen was, too, for him, even flowers wreathed by a:cheerful and beautiful faith. The nails, the thorns, , the spear Were not forgotten but with; drawn, for the Saviour was entombed but rose again with wounds healed, and with healing on his wings. Our young friend has beensummoned to join on high that trio of sainted sisters beside whose graves he de sired that his remains be deposited. It is a loved thought thafithey who " Grew in beauty,side by side And filled and home, with glee," - Are not, in latest sluniber, ' "Scattered farlanit wide By mountain stream and sea." Who can gaze upon those four recent it:Knouts without deepest emotion—without 'exclaiming; --- " 0 .Death' when wilt thou be merciful?" Yet these early summons of relentless death have not been untimely, for not one of those sepulchred here have met the call unprepared. It cannot, but in a pecUliar degree, be considered that, for our last buried one, death must have been, in a gteat measure, stripped of its terrors.. lii the estimation of most of his acquaintancei, our young friend has for years but hovered upon the pOrtals of Heaven. Still the approach of dissolution, until within thirty-six hoop of the event, occasioned none of those physical disabili ties and sufferings which are so distressing to witness. We have evidence that these years of declining health were not unimproved;—decided spiritual progress was their result. He remarked a little while before death to his cherished wife, "I am but a few hours form Hea ven,—meet'ine there."'" The de:Ceased needin'o eulogy, but justice mi.rely is no fulsome , panegyric. His vir tues were rare and noble; his io the varied rela tions as son, brother, husband, and friend, were ever with generous love fulfilled. The haunts of vice and the places where scoffers meet were by.hi in unsought, unless with effort to bring . the unrighteous to repent ance. Let us be grateful that he was kept pure and un spotted from the world, and let us ever practically, as in word ? grant that his Christian example, in life and holy resignation in death, are worthy Of imitation.

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. Brandreth's Pills only take hold of those matters which the body, when sick, wants to evacuate. They are solely an assistant of nature, nothing more, nothing less. They do not force; they merely assist; and herein is their great value.
