The edifice is of stone, and furniShes an audience room that will seat about five hundred, and n lecture and Sunday school room sufficient for tiroThundred pupils. The congregation was originally founded by the Huguenot refugees from Rochelle in France, who were driven to this country by Popish persecution, and who contributed so largely to the religious ele ment of our people. Our Assembly's Prayer Meeting.—A corre spondent of the New Yin* Observer gives a deeply interesting account of one of the prayer-meetings held nt Syracuse by our General Assembly. It wus presided over by by Dr. Jenkins, and addresses were delivered by Messrs. Emerson, Darling, and others. Allusion was made to Rev. Daniel Waldo, wbo was present, when the venerable man, still hale and healthy, was led forward, and mounted the plat form with ease and almost elasticity, although now 99 years oldl In a clear and almost powerful voice, with the vast audience hushed to stillness, he spoke a few words, and then uttered a brief but most solemn, impressive prayer. He said, he remembered well the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill, being then thirteen years of age. He felt how important was the war, and he was only afraid then it would be over beforelie would be old enough to join in it. He never expected to live to see the. Constitution de stroyed. Nothing had ever grieved him so much as the present state of things. Ho knew there were lovely men, at the South, good Christian, men—but wicked peOpie were now trying to ruin the country an, eatruy the Union. I3pt lie was glad there was unanimity North. This hamieny . was, .delightful. Re was glad the. Constitution Was. to ba.liustaiued— but one of the best ways to maintain it was throligh the prayers of the children of God. After the meeting had been prolonged to a late hour, the presiding officer, Rev. Dr. Jenkins, said it had been proposed that another meeting would be held the succeeding (Saturday) evening: "I am not certain," said he, "that these are not the best days this country ever saw. If this is the spirit your fore fathers manifested, I am not surprised my country men were beaten." Dr. J, is of English, origin, but a warm friend and patriotic lover of his adopted country. Clerical Calls, Changes, dke.—Rsv. T.B. M`FeaLs, of the Baltimore Meth. Epis. Conference, has been called to the Assembly'echarch i in Washington city, to become their pastor in place of Rev. A. G. CAna Traits, who accepted 'some time , Since the appoint ment to be United States Consul at Turk's Island. REV. H. A. TRACY, of Cinoinnati, late District Sacra titry,of the American Board, has received and ac cepted an invitation to supply the pulpit of the church at Glendale for six months. Ray. E. J. STEWART has a call from the church. of Bay city, Bay Co., Michi gan. Ray. EVERARD KEMPSHALL, after having filled the pulpit of the First Church at Batavia for more than two years with much acceptance, has recently vacated it. Dian, in Hudson, Summit county, Ohio, May 4th, Rev. CHESTER Ilona, 'in the sixty-fifth year of his age. • Noble Example.—lt is generally known that the Third Presbyterian Church of Chicago (Rev: Mr. Swnzey's) has been burdened with a debt of about $35,000—0f which $25,000 was permanently secured by mortgage, and $lO,OOO were floating liabilities. We learn that an effort has jut been successfully made, to provide for the 25,000 perinanent debt, by subscription notes payable through a series of years. At the same time the pastor's salary was raised &dm $2,000 to $2,500. This is a noble manifestion of a liberal spirit, .and sets .a worthy example,in. these days of financial pressure, to churches of all demo-. minations.—Gong. Herald. - New Church in Visalia, Cal.—On Sabbath, 14th inst., a New School Presbyterian Church, con sisting of twelve members, was organized'by Rev. A. F. White. Four were received, by letters from other churches, and eight on profession of their faith. Three received the: rite of Baptism for the first time. Mr. White spent two Sabbaths in Visalia, and preached to large congregations. He was heartily welcomed by the people, and received Christian courtesy at the hands of his Methodist brethren. We hope the church just organized "will soon be supplied with an able and faithful minister. P acific. Visalia is a promising new settlement of about a thousand inhabitants, in the midst of a thickly set tled farming region. Mack interest is manifested in the new . enterprise by - the leading, men of the place. John Y. Osborn Walter IL Conklin. OTHER BRANCHES OF THE 'PRESB*TF,- Richard L. Seeley. The Christian Observer.—The character of this journal is becoming widely known. The Boston Tra veller thus speaks of it in a recent issue, being mis taken only as to the body ' which it represents,,viz.: the United Presb7terian Synod, which is wholly in the Bouth,,and principally in the very worst of, the secession territory: "The Christian Observer, Old School Presbyterian, published at Philadelphia and Richmond, seems the only one that flings a disloyal banner to the breeze. It is said to be a very small flag at best and so hea vily flaps against the mast that people have some trouble to find out on which side they are, who keep it in sight. 'There is, therefore, great unanimity in the Northern religious press in reference to what true patriotism demands of men in these stirring times. Christianity, in its highest type, bids men stand by law, order and governmenL" A Paper Discontinued. —The last Presbyterian Expositor, of Chicago, recently edited by Rev. N. L. Rice, D. D., in 'n note by the publisher,o. 11. McCor mick, Esq., announces its own discontinuance,' Its list of subscribers is transferred to the Standard i ,the new paper recently started at Philadelphia. The reasons assigned for this step are the removal of Dr. Rice from Chicago, and the difficulty of securing a successor. Chaplaincies.—Our Washington news of Monday, the 20th. says: "The Rev. J. C. Butler, of the Evan gelical Lutheran Church in Washington, has to day accepted the chaplaincy of the Pennsylvania Fifth Regiment." California for the Union.—The Union demon stration in San Francisco, on the 11th, was an asto nishing success. Nothing like it was ever seen there before. Business was totally suspended; all the men, women and children of the city were in the streets, and flags were almost as plenty as stacks of grain in a wheat field. Three stands for speakers were erected near the corner of Market, Second, and Montgomery streets, which were surrounded by men with fields of flags waving over them. Senators Latham and McDougal, General Sumner, General Shields, and others of less note, addressed * the vast audience. The spirit of all the addresses, as well Of the resolutions adopted, is, the Administra , thin must be sustained in all its efforts to put down recession, and preserve the Union complete. General Scott's Health.—lt is a sufficient denial of the reports as to Lieutebant-General Scott's infirm health, to say that he is engaged in the discharge of his official duties, not only throughout the day, but till a late hour every night. Seizure of a Year's Telegrams.—Quietly and simultaneously, at three o'clock, P. M., on the 20th, without the least binderance, the United States offi cials seized upon all the original telegraphic despatches on hand in the chief offices of •the North and West since the let of May, 1800. This puts into their hands an extraordinary amount bf information as to the movements of the rebels and the complicity of Northern parties in their plans. What a depth of corruption and infamy is likely to be disclosed! Course of the Administration.—ln reply to some troops who arrived in Washington before the pacification of Baltimore, and who expressed to Pre sident Lincoln their disappointment at not being brought through that city at once, the President is reported to have said . that he had no doubt they would have giVen a good account of themselves, but that we were all acting under the advice of an old man who, when asked how long he would require to take Vera Cruz, replied, "Six hours, with , the loss of twenty five hundred men—three weeks, with not the loss of a man." And he, fulfilled his promise. We mast, therefore, quietly wait, and let him take his own course, and the result would justify the delay. Important Suggestion.—The representatives of three of the leadingussociations in New York designed to meet the wants of the sick and wounded, and to promute the health of the army, have addressed a timely document to the Secretary of War, in which they ask that a mixed commission of civilians, dis tinguished for their philanthropic experience and ac quaintance with sanitary matters of medical men and of military officers, be appointed by the government, who shall be charged with the duty of investigating the best means of methodizing and reducing to prac tical service the already active but undirected bene volence of the people toward the army: who shall consider. the general subject of the prevention of sick ness and suffering among the troops, and suggest the wisest methods, which . .toe people at large can use to manifest their good will.toward the comfort, security and health of the army. • Reuben 8.

A....*tr i,railt. - .Nt t to:.b..atiti al. , . alt :4,:i' : 1 : : t,,tt:otoii..;:Otrolti#,litot, Treason at Home.—The, public owe a debt of gratitude to the Philadelphia Inquirer for its diligence in exposing the frauds and impositions so shamefully practised by the contractors for furnishing shoes and clothing to our brave volunteers. , An indignant pub lic demands the.t the subject be investigated tho roughly. We are glad to see that those exposures have led to an official investigation before the Grand Jury. We hope there will be found honor enough in that body to resist the bribes which are likely to be offered theme by the scoundrels who are in danger of receiving their demerits. Such conduct is little, better than rank treason, and our troops would suffer less from a defeat than from being made the victims of a thievish contract. WASHINGTON AND VICINITY. Active Operations.—The policy of the,,Govern ment manifestly has been to venture upon no attack without due preparation, and, so far as may be, pre vious assurance of success. The North must not idly and recklessly throw away the grand advantage of numbers which she possesses. Less bloodshed will in the end ensue, if we go into every conflict with twice the number of our- enemy's forces. And Ge neral Scott's policy is impressing this important idea upon the Northern mind, which, al first, was so hasty —yea, so frenzied 'with zeal, for immediate action. Our naval . preparations, however, are so ,complete, that there hai never been'any delay or hesitancy in putting them to any service in which they might be useful. On Sabbath of last week, the 19th, there oc curred an encounter between two of our steamers (the MosirrnmLo and the FREEBORN) and a battery erected by the rebels at Sewall's Point, at the mouth of,the Elizabeth River, leading from, Hampton Roadp to Norfolk. The effect of the fire of our vessele , is described as terrific, The • five columbiads of the battery were disabled, the works laid in ruins, and theCmen, fifty in number,- scattered in every , 'dired- Twenty miles, below Washington a schooner, con tainkng, forty-,recruits. for the rebel.army, trts,,car tureAby.iihe FREEBORN. ' • bt Colonel. VOEbErgli) of the Seventy-first'New York Regiment, died an the 20th; front — bleeding at the lungs, brought on by over exertion tin Friday, 7th, while in the active command of his regiment. He was but 35 years of age. His funeral wa s duly so lemnized .by the military, and the tarok impressive ceremonies attended the sepulture : from his mansion in New York. He was a man of high respectability and wealth,• and belonged to one of the old Knieker booker families of the city. The Forward Movement of Friday.--So secretly bad the Adm.inistratien arranged . its plinth, that the telegrams from Washington which appeared in the merning papers of that . day, in this city :and;, New York, contained .the following statement Those who, it is presumed, are best acquainted with such matters say that no invasion into the'heart of. any state is now contemplated." But scarcely had- the people finished reading this quieting language, when news of the highest importance flashed over the wires, and the - whole town was soon stirred from its depths. Twelve.or fourteen regiments had been thrown across the Potomac into Virginia by General Scott on the night between Thursday and Friday, the 23d and 24th, and so quietly, that even the Washingtonians were to a great extent unaware of the movement. Alexandria, Arlington Hei,glies; and Fairfax Court- House, the latter being a railroad junction command ing Harper's Ferry, are the points seized by- this movement. Three hundred• secession soldiers and a company of cavalry were taken prisoners. No resis tance of any account was encountered; but-at Alex.- andria, Colonel Ellsworth, the brilliant and popular Colonel of the Fire Zouave Regiment. was shot in the breast and killed instantly by the landlord of a hotel, whose steps he was peaceably descending. The landlord himself immediately paid the penalty of his own life, having been shot and.bayoneted by a private in the Regi men t. . The New York Seventh occupy Arlington Heights. THE SOUTH. • Financial BHT=lties.—The real troubles of the rebel government' are just_:beginning. They want fifty millions of dollars, nd if they cannot get it abroad, they Must practise the, most despe rate financiering experiments to procure it at home. The first plan attempted is to issue treasury notes fol. twenty- millions. = These the government can issue just as a bank its five, ten, and fifty dollar notes, in payment for-contracts to soldiers, officials, &e. For a time, the experiment may succeed, but "the want of confidence already felt by their own capitalists in the future ability* disposition of a concern to redeem its obligations, which began in such wholesale and outrageous plunder and betrayal of covenant obliga tions, is seen , in the fact that (mit 'one-half of th,e origitiarfirttanrionlicirt latiich - og been etiken ; and soon the utter baselessness of the ne,w.curreney will be so manifest that it will become as worthless and as use less for purposes of business as the paper on which it ia engraved. Movements of Rebel Troops.—A body of sol diers, numbering 700 or more, wok position on the right bank of the Potomac, opposite Williamsport, Maryland, on Sunday, the 20th. This, place is but seven miles from• Hagerstown, Md., the terminus of a railroad twenty miles long, from Chambersburg, Pa., where there is an encampment of our soldiers. Since this movement, our troops have received rein forcements. • One thousand rebel troops left Harper's Ferry, on the 20th, for Grafton, whereihe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad branches—one line running to Wheeling and the Other to Parkersburg, either to resist troops from the West or to influence the Virginia eleetion, which took place last Thursday. At Memphis,, according to recent reliable ac- Counts, there are about three thousand troops fur nished with altered flint loak muskets from the Baton Rouge arsenal. There are two batteries on the Mississippi 'between Memphis and Cairo, one six Miles from the former place, and the other sixty. Many of the troops are northern men, who have been impressed into the ser vice. One-half the soldiers in Memphis refuse to leave the city, and, the, governor has issued, a procla mation, ordering all companies to disband who did not enter the service of the South unconditionally. Ammunition was very scarce, and no unnecessary firing was permitted. Two companies in Memphis are composed of chain-gang . convicts. A gentleman just returned from a scouting tour extended as far south as New Orleans, gives it as hie opinion that the sum total of the Southern Forces at all points does not exceed thirty-five thousand men. Blockades.—The splendid steamer NIAGARA, just returned from Japan, is engaged in blockading Charleston, and, seizing, privateers in the Souther n waters. During her temporary absence from Charles ton harbor, a British vessel got in, and *was at once engaged full of Sea Island Cotton ; at the enormous freight of lid. per pound. Such a freight has not been given in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Savannah and Pensacola certainly, the Chesapeake bav and perhaps other ports, are under blockade: Auzes.—The ship General Parkhill, (550 tons,) from Liverpool, for, and belonging to, Charleston, arrived at Philadelphia on the 20th, in charge of a prize crew of the Niagara. The British vetisels Hiawatha and North Carolina, loaded with tobaeco, which attempted to run the bloeknde at Norfolk, hive also been captuied and brought into port. Texas.—GENERAL HOUSTON is believed to be a consistent opponent of Secession. Ale is-reported to have made `a speech in Galveston recently, in which he characterized , the secession of Texas as iniquitous and prejudicial in every way to ber best interests. He said that'though"disunion might be in the ascend ant now, that there was a terrible reaction to etude, which would be heard, and that he stood in a wait ing attitude for that time to come. - ' Outrages and Depredations.—Captain 'Gale, of the bark .0. D. Fierce, of Cleveland, 0., started from Remedios, March 22d, with a cargo of sugar • for Falmouth, England. Meeting a severe gale in the Gulf Stream, he put into Norfolk, AprilAth, for repairs. Instead of being allowed to depart, his ves sel was seized, .the cargo stored and retained by the British consul, who swindled the captain of $1800; and finally the vessel was sunk-by the Secessionists of Norfolk.. After suffering imprisonment, the cap tain •escaped to our , squadron in destitute circum stances. The British consul at Norfolk is an active Secessionist. NEW ORLEANS, May 20th.—A despatch from the Belize states that the privateer steamer Calhoun captured, on the 15th inst., the bark Ocean Eagle, Captain Luce, from Rockland, Maine, with three thousand one hundred and fourteen casks of lime. A ship called the John Jarvis is said to have been captured about the same time by the privateer "Music." Both of these were taken off the mouth of the Mississippi. A certain John G. Cocks writes from New Orleans to CoL. ANDERSON, in_ regard to notes for $10,500, with $lOOO interest, given by hien to Anderson, and still held by him for slaves sold to' Cocks in March last. Cocks says: "As I consider fair play a jewel, I take this method to notify you that I will not pay those notes:. but as I neither seek nor wish an ad vantage, I desire that you return - me the notes and the money paid you, and the negroes will be subject to your order, which you will find, much'improved by kind treatment since they came into toy possession. SOUtlient Desperation.—:-According to accounts deemed authentic, the tables have, within four weeks, been entirely turned. Then the South was burning, for the conquest of Washington, Philadelphia, and New York; now they are in terror for the defence of Richmond, Norfolk, and Harper's Ferry, and the cities along the "'Mississippi, especially Memphis, which' they expect daily %rill he attacked by a powerful Federal force. The Democratic party at the 'North has proved escbrably tiaitoious, so say the South, to their .political vows. ; This has thrown them into the most perilous confusion. In this hour, of impending retribution, desperatiott has seized upon them. They move heaven and earth to gather forces and extort taxes. They are full of vcdcanie bitter ness toward the men who have rushed to the defence of Washington, and convinced them by the muster ing thousands that there is yet a power and a patriot ism in the "old concern" (as they style our glorious old'Union,) which will prove a terror to traitors. They cannot retreat now; their "chivalie/ would suffer.— N. Y.

Dr. Palmer who stirred u the great Se cession feeling in New Orleans, by ' aching a ser mon on the Divinity of Ainerican alavery, and the imperative duty of Christians extending its reign, is a private in a military company of that city. ' FOREIGN opncrolr England and France will have is hear from "the representatives of the new Administr 0013 before they can be expected to act intelligently h regard to our ti disturbances. At last "accounts, Lrd Palmerston and the Vow seemed to have made pp their minds to recognise the rebels so far as to tient their pira tical letters of marque with a respec which should, and will, certainly, in the end, be deied them. Lord John Rusaell, in his remark in the 'House i of. Commons, on the.6tb inst., resp 'rig the South ern Confederacy, is reported, to hay ;used this lan guage: "As to the letters of marq e, there was a precedent in the case of Greece, wl n it separated from .Turkey. The right of that e nntry to issue letters of marque - W(1B allowed. T e question has be.en under the consideration of tl e •Government. They have consulted the. law officer of the crown. The Attorney and Solicitor Generals, and the Queen's Advocate and the Government have co+ to the opinion that the Southern Confederacy of America, according to those principles which aCCIIt to themito be just prin ciples, must be treated as a belligcreq, Assuredly this haste to take a position in, any de gree favorable to the rebels is entaiely 'adverse to what we had a right to expect from kgreat, free go +eminent like England, always, as we bad supposed; enlisted warmly on the side of law, and cautious in taking a favorable attitude towards tbe disloyal and rebellious. Especially would we have'' ected tin ei hibition of sympathy for the amen - ,_ aufbtrities i f a ai of this'country, when arrayed agains`, wanton and übjustifiable rebellion got up In the interest of the hated and discarded institution of Slavery. The Lon -don -Morning Post of May Bth, has a leader headed Wno is TO BLaME, which lets us into what is proba bly the true state of feeling among the English peo ple. It says: rln the face of these difficulties, Mr. Lincoln, who has been little more than: twb months in office, has puisued a manly and constitutional policy. lie has, with ,very insufficient Meatis, i endeavored to re-assert the"supremacy of the law. The blame of failure does not rest with Mr. Lincoln, but with Mr. BuChanan, who, by his temporizing policy, first per.' mitted the Secession movement' to develop itself into a well organized and euccessful rebellion, and then left a fatal heritage of trouble and disaster to his successor. If the late - Presidenthad sent to Charles ton t;io or three of the.men-of-war Which have re= lently been destroyed at Norfolk; to save them from falling into the hands of the`Southern ponfederation, the whole complication might have,, been avoided. But the two contending parties must be left to Work out their destiny free from. the interference of England or any other European power, whose sympathy and good offices would be equally-misconstrued on the other side of the Atlantic. It must, however, be re membered that slavery is the only excuse which the South eon after for rebellion and treason, and , that the IV - orth carefully abstained from coerciint so tong as - a hope of conciliation was pos.sible." .-- .r . The London Herald also seems to have a just ap preciation of our affairs. This and the Derby Tory Organ, from which we had less reason, to expect sym pathy than from the = Times and other.mere popular journals, which, for the nonce, have sided against us. j lt says: " . The citizens of the free States and their representatives in Congress looked upon the threats of secession as mere intimidations, and naught else; nor are they to beleilamed for failieg to suspect their Southern brethren of a treachery without parallein history. At length the entire 'North is awakened to the truth by the attack- on Fort Sumter, and "Derrio crats, Native Americans, and Republicans learn for the first time that Mr. lAncolit's success is but ,the pretext for Secession, while a_ lung-preparing and cleverly -matured plot to 'break up the Union is.the only true motive. The-North is now hastening as one , man to take vengeance on the traitors. ' From the forests of Maine to'the Molintaiiis "ofPerinslva" l'- , ma, the air resonant with The clang . of arms. Through the land- is echoed, "the Gaul is at the gates," and the 'Nee; Eriglander quits the loom, the Western farmer turns from the plow, and the sturdy settler in far distaiii Minnesota casts aside his axe, and rushes to defend the capital."
