New otturott,—At the late meeting of Salem Presbytery a new church, at a place called Anderson, in Crawford county, Indiana, was received under its care. Rev. F. A. Griswold, formerly of Monticello, 'Minnesota, has received and accepted an invitation to labor as its stated supply, OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE RIAN CHTIRCH. Rev, Henry Neill, formerly of Detroit, bas ac cepted an invitation to supply the pulpit of the North Presbyterian Church, Chicago, vacated by.theresigna tion of Rev. Dr. Rio°, Rev. Mr. Neill officiated in this Churuh,last Sabbath, both morning and evening. In the former service he introduced into his discourse able and patriotic references to the present crisis.— Tribune, 28th. Well Put I—The Chicago Presbyterian Recorder thus forcibly comments on the hesitancy of the re cent Assembly in Philadelphia to take action on the side of the Constitution and the Laws: "And, besides, what has the Church to do with politics, or with matters so remote from Christian morality, as the support of law, and the condemna tion of perjury and rebellion against God's ordinance of good civil government? This is a day of nice discriminations, We must be careful and inonounce Shibboleth aright when Adam's sin is under consi deration—bat wby disturb the Church . with such unpractical questions as those of human rights and the guilt of treason and robbery?" Etbis of qt siruggle. Indirect Results,—lt has already been remarked that a struggle, such as we are now engaged in, is likely to bring with it results altogether different from those contemplated by its authors and princi pal agents. In other words, the Supreme Ruler really directs and controls the grand movements of history, while men with all their cherished plane and power ful demonstrations are but his instruments. The As syrian was the rod of God's anger, though he meant not so, nor did his heart think so, but it was in'his heart to destroy and out off nations not a few. No person among the volunteer forces, or their officers,' which have responded to the call of the President, has surpassed in promptness, energy, and efficiency the late Breckinridge-Democrat candidate for the Gubernatorial office of Massachusetts, General B. F. Butler, At Annapolis, at the Relay "Louse, at Bal timore, and now at Fortress Monroe, where he is in command, he has rendered the most important tier. vices. And it is just exactly around this once ardent Pru-Slavery Democrat that the indications of one of the most important indirect results of 'this struggle are gathering. It is to him, at Fort Monroe, that fugitive slaves are already flying in considerable numbers. They had give' some token of such a purpose at Annapolis, which he checked, as it was in a loyal State, but in the rebel territory of Eastern Virginia, General Butler declares them contraband of war, and refuses to return them, though he has been appealed to by their masters on the ground. of the Fugitive Slave Law—fidelity to which was a main article in the political creed of hie party, A despatch from Fortress Monroe; dated May 27th, says:—About one hundred fugitive slaves came in this morning. They were provided with rations and set to work, their services being greatly needed. They represent that they were to be sent South, or to be put to work on the rebel batteries. Another from Washington, May 20th, says:—Col. Buller, of Massachusetts, a brother of Major-General Butler, arrived here last night from Fortress Munroe, and had an interview with the President this morn ing, He says that over one hundred fugitive slaves have already taken refuge within the-United States' lines, and General Butler wants instructions from the Government as to what he shall do concerning then:. It is understood that the Government endorses his previous course, which has been to protect the negrues, refuse to give them up, and employ them in constructing the defences. The following id the letter of instructions con veying to General Butler, through the Secretary of War, the decision of the Cabinet in regard to these fugitives: • WASHINGTON, May 30, 1881.—Sir: Your action in respect to the negroes who came within your lines from the service of the rebels is approied. The De partment is sensible of the embarrassments which must surround officers, conducting military . opera tions in a State, by the laws of which slavery is sanc tioned, The Government cannot recoghise the re jection by any State of the Federal sbligations, nor can it refuse the performanee of' the Federal obliga tions resting upon itself, Among these Federal ob ligations, however, none can be more important than that of suppressing and dispersing armed combina tions formed for the purpose of overthrowing its whole constitutional authority. , While, therefore, you will-permit no' interference by the persons under your command with the re lations of persons held to service under the laws of any State, you will, on the other hand, so long as any State within which your military operations are con ducted is under the control of such armed combina tions, refrain from surrendering to alleged masters any persons who may come within your lines. You will employ ; such persons in the services to which they may be best adapted, keeping an acco u nt of the labor by them . performed, of the value of it, and the expenses of their maintenance, The question oftheir final disposition Will be reserved fur future determi nation, SIMON CAuzaort, Secretary of War. To Mnjor General BUTLZR. The North. Movement to Protect Western Virginia.— Twenty-live counties of Western Virginia having given over twenty-two thousand majority against secession, it has been deemed proper to throw Fede r:ll troops into the territory,At least, until the inha bitants can muster for their own defence.. The rebels had already taken a position at the important rail road centre, Grafton; where the two we - stern branches of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, one reaching the 011)0 river at Wheeling, and the other stoParksrsburg, "lied. A movement was made from Wheeling by the Union volunteers of that city, on Mondtty,• the 27th, none of this movement, and of the retreat of the 164 ' from Grafton, was received at the same time. i s twurr or Ruin.

At Fairmount, Va., the United States' tronps, ad ranting from the west, surprised a body of 1000 "troops, who fled in the utmost dismay and dis, °l ' d ") except about 4QO who were captured, . ROUT OF THE :REBELS IN .P.giuPPL---Cincinnati, June 3d.—Two columns of trodpe'froin General Mc- Clellan's command, ohe commanded by Col. Kelly, consisting of the First Virginia `velunteers, and' the other, commanded by Colonel Crittenden, consisting of the Indiana volunteers! left Grafton early last night, and after marching the entire night through a drenching rain, surprised a camp of rebelis,,two thousand strong, [another report says twet hundred.] at Philippi, Virginia, routed them eotupletely;lalling fifteen, and capturing a large amount of arms, am munition, horses, provisions, and 'camp 'equipage. The surprise was complete, and, at-the.last advices, the United States troops were in hot pursuit of the rebels. Probably many prisonertrwill-be taken. Colonel Kelly was mortally wonnded, and has since died. Several of the United States troops were slightly wounded. - The Classic Phrase, "I will meet thee at Phi lippi," has acquired a new significance since the two columns of troops under General .McCLELLAN'e com mand have surprised the traitor troops at Philippi, Virginia, and, driving their enemies in consternation before them, captured a large portion of their arms, ammunition,• and camp equipage. Death of Senator Douglas.—Cmcsco, June Senator Douglaa expired at 9 o'clock this morning.; Charge 'to the Grand Jury, —On Monday, Judge Ammon directed the attention of the Grand Jury to the recent Act of Assembly, which prohibits traitor ous corresplidence with the ,, Rebel.Statee, and for bids giving aid and comfort to the enemy in certain specified ways. Mr. Gough recently addressed three regiments in New Haven, and gave to each, it is reported, $5O, It is said also that he intends giving the fruits of his lecturing for six months to come.to the army. - Grand Camp oil Staten Island:—On the 25th of May, work was commenced on apiece of ground, containing several thousand acres, on Staten Island, designed for one .of the permanent intrenched camps, projected 'by the Government; in view Of the future exigencies of the war. Here fifty or Sixty thousand men can' be drilled, and trained to the life of the soldier, and held in reserve for• any contin gency that may .bereafter a'riser: — AfretriffireliTattnt of - the ground is concluded, it is intended to dig ;`a four feet ' , ditch all around ,the boundaries, and the heavy earth bank thrown up, will be mounted with artillery to make the camp, theroughly. fortified. Several regiments will soon take up their quarters here, if they have not already done so. Contracts for batteries and small arms to supply the soldiers have already been made, and a large number of En field rifles, ordered in England, are said to be destined to this place. The camp will.materially strengthen the defences of New York Harbor. Gun Boats.—lt is stated that Cincinnati has been selected: as tette plael,,whpre t rthe,--gun r -boate for the Mississippi are to be constructed ; and that one mil lion and a half of &Halals' tir be aPproprifiteil`for that purpose. We beliesie it is designed 'to forty or fifty of these boats. - ' The 'Border. Anifing of Union litten-in-Kentnoky.—The Go vernment, through Garrett Davis, ha& been quietly arming'the Union men of .Kentuoky, some of whom had. been driven from the. State ,and their' lives threatened by secessionists. ~Tose mho receivelhe arms are required to pledge their word of honor to protect their families and.neighbors, respect .the laws, and support the Constitution of the. United States. . , The new Military Department of Kentucky, to the command of which .Colonel ; Ronan.

Washington and Vicinity. bee 'been McDowell bee `been assigned the , command of the new department of Virginia, which extends to all the counties east of the Alleghenies and 'north of James River, except Fort Monroe, and sixty miles around` that . point. General MoDowell's appointmeiat gives: Universal satisfaction. Governor Banks has been appointed to a Brigadier Generalship, and detailed to Thelnar termaster's department. The right mini in the right place. His integrity, vigor; and remarkable organ izing and executive abilities aresuch, and sopecti- Burly his own, that he could serve the Government with no more efficiency in Any other department:than that to which he has been assigned. The telegraph reports' the atipointnient Of. Colonel FREMONT, who is now in Europe, to the post 'of Major-General: 'the appointment will be greeted with enthusiasm by our army of northern volunteers, many ,of whom, four years ago, fought a bloodless but valorous tight en- der his banner..-14 Y,TErriifkr.7 - - Fortress Monroe and liarfolk.—On the 27th of May, a force of two 'thousand five hundred men, and four pieces of artillery, forizied intrenched Camp at a point near the mouth of James river, : called Newport .News, about ten miles from the fortress, and on the same side of the Roads. One object of the movement was to command Band' Island, which is about midway between, and completely guards jhe entrance of the (Tames River. General Butler' was fearful that the rebels would take possession of the Island. Newport News also , emumands, to a great, extent, he Pemnsula between the James and York rivers. Professor Grant's calcium light was used recently, and illuminated the most distant reaches of Hamp ton Roads. Eighty Union votes were cast at Portsmouth, and over twenty at Norfolk. A feeling of terror and glom pervaded the community. Seventy of the eighty votes cast in Porternenth against secession were by a rifle cOmpany,.who. Were immediately disarmed and disbanded. The whole number of troops in and about Norfolk doei not exceed seven thousand, though large acces sions are daily expected from ,the Gulf States. Movement on Harper's Feriy.—On the 29th of May several movements of troupe from various points towards Harper's Ferry were made. First, an ad vance of three regiments from the Ohio river east ward upon Grafton; second, a movement of the two Pennsylvania regiments of Colonels Dare and Naglee froni Perryville, where they havelong•been etationed, through Baltimore, and northwardly on the Northern Central Road: and third, three Pennsylvania regi ments—the Irish, the German Rifle, and the Sco tt Legion, from Philadelphia, by the Pennsylvania Cen tral road. westward. Vicinity of Harper's Terzy.--A skirmish took place on the Potomac on Saturday morning, in con sequence of another attempt of the rebels to seize the ferry, boat lying opposite Williamsport. A company of loyal volunteers at Williamsport fired upon them, and a fight ensued, which lasted an hour, in which several of the rebels were wounded, and the boat remained in possession of the Loyal men. Captain Doubleday has been ordered to Chambers burg, with the two companies of the Fort Sumter garrison, now at Fort Hamilton. They departed on Monday. Sanitary Measures, It einspection. &e.—We hear, says the World, from . Drs. Bellows, Harris and others, who have had recent interviews with the Pre sident, General Scott, and other high authorities in Washington, that the plan of the reinspection of our troops, as a means of preventing disease, met with cordial approbation, and was immediately carried into effect—General Scott remarking, "I will attend to it in twenty minutes." Before the committee left for home, they were informed that, as a result of the reinspection, a large per centage of the volunteers Would-be sent back. The further suggestion of those gentlemen, that " well-prepared food" was a sanitary measure of the first importance, was also well re ceived. General Scott assured them that he consi dered "no one fit to be a General until he under stands what good food for a soldier means." He de clared his willingness to allow one good cook to form a part of each company. The idea of female nurses being introduced into military service, is favorably looked upon, and Surgeon General Wood has so em phatically countenanced it, that little doubt is now entertained as to its having a. fair trial, at least. Conflict of Jurisdlotion.—John Merryman,--a prominent citizen of Baltimore, has been arrested and confined in Fort McHenry on charge of burning the railroad bridges during the riots of April. Judge Taney, upon application from Mr. Merryman's coon eel, issued a writ of habeas corpus, addressed to Ge neral Cadwalader, in command of the military de partment which held. Merryman in custody. The General declined, very courteously to obey the writ Until instructions could be received from the Presi dent. Judge Taney immediately issued a writ for the arrest of General Cadwalader for contempt of court, which the sentry at the Fort answered by pre senting arms. The officer of the court then sent his card in to the General, bat was informed that no an swer would be returned to it. The. Judge, upon the return of the officer, read a statement Protesting against the illegality of the proceedings, and said that be should prepare his opinion in the premises, and forward it to the President, calling upon him to perform hie- constitutional duty, and see, that the laws be faithfully executed, and the decrees of this court enf r o - reed. Troops' from the North continue to arrive in Washington in vast numbers, and take the places cf those who are continually advancing into Virginia from that city. The Seventh Regiment, having en listed fur a month only, their time expired ea the 9 8th—but they voluntarily and unanimously agreed to remain, midi their place was supplied by others.

The Fight at Fairfair:—A . fighfinoi, pltioeo n Saturday morning, the Ist of JUne, at the village of Fairfax, which was ciWite a brilliant affair. "A body of United States cavalry, under.bieutenant Tomp kins, accompanied by three or four officers of the New York 'Pifth Regiment, as !volunteers, while reconnoi tering in that directioryfellin with the pickets of the rebels. After .challenging them and driving them back, they rushed at a charge through the and, were fit ed at from hotels, houses,• and from be hind ifences as they passed. , Returning, they were met by three several detachments of the rebels, who had, turned out into the streets, one of them having a field piece. The cavalry cut their way through, killing twenty-seven Of the rebels, and 'making pri soners of five. The, United. 'States troops had only one, man killed one Missing and four woundedr-- among whom was: Lieutenant Tompkins himself A laterdespatch says.that the company of cavalry -made another raid upon Fairfax, and ,recaptured their Comrades who had been life there, and were about to be hung.

Simmer of Fort Pickens.—This brave and faithful officer has returned very much exhausted by his severe toil in securing the safety of the import ant pod' cainmitted to his charge. 'He says there is no doubt of the ' safety of Fort Pickens; that 10,000 men can be landed at any, time. The rebels are no longer enthusiastic and confident of a. victory, as they were after the fall of Sucker. Their attention is now drawn to the North. He thinks no attack will be 'made upon the fort, but should one be attempted, the - Federal troops can resist it without much trouble, and the slaughter cif the rebels will be immense. According to a letter. in the Press of the Ist inet., the Niagara has been ordered to Havana and. fill up with coal, and then to Pensacola, to take part in the bombardment of the forts there held by the rebel's, the Huntsville to accompany us as a tender. • Manassas Gap Junction is a point twenty-seven miles beyond Alexandria, in Virginia, commanding the.railread . connexion 'between Richmond and Har per's Ferry. Here the rebel forces near Washington are concentrating and fortifying themselves. It is said that they are reinforced by North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina troops, from Staun ton and Lynchburg. • - C. H. Fester, a well-known citizen of North Caro lina, a Union man, and formerly an editor, reached Washington May 28th, from that State. He thinks that the reports of the numbers, condition and arma ment of. Southern troops are greatly exaggerated. It seems that it is their determination to act solely on the defensive irkihis war. [This can scarcely be true of the Gulf State auXiliaries summoned into Virgi. At Manaisas Junction, Foster thinks there could not have been more than two thousand rebels. He had great difficulty in reaching here, but there were no extraordinary military movements along the route. • `The secession force.has throyn .up.earthwork,•per baps two - hundred - feet squire, right at the Junction, mid commanding the track for perhaps ,a calk.

Colonel Litman; of Watiltington, read a letter from the vicinity of Harperti3 Ferry, stating that two Lieu tenants in the rebel army had resigned, having be ceme utterly disgusted with affairs there. The troops are poorly fed, and have received no pay. The Bunker Company, of Rockingham county, Virginia, all laid down their arms and departed, dis gusted. Almost all the latter voted against the se cession ordinance. Well-found4reports are current that the small pox has broken out among the rebel forces —almost destroying whole companies. About one • hundred desertions are said to have occurred among those recently at Williamsport, Oho have fallen back two miles from that place. - The Blookade.—Lloyd's agent at New York has received the following despatch: "NEW OnLuaus, May 28.—Our port is blockaded. Report to London." This information may be relied on, coming from credible authority in New Orleans. Some fortifications on Ship Island, near the Gulf coast of Mississippi, long. 11° 30' w. from Washing ton, were destroyed (May 22) by our vessels.• Gal veston dates of May 19th say that 'that city is alai) blockaded.

Foreign Opinion. The.

On this the World remarks:—The (Wen s procla mation; now that we have it in full, proves to be a cautious, cold-blooded, - double-faced domunent---tt dis grace to the sovereign of a eenntry which justly makes constitutional liberty its boast. Timidity peeps out of every sentence. Minister's have made Her, Majesty seem only, solicitous not tpi offend these highly re spe.etable cotton-raising, slave-breeding gentlemen, who' "style themselves',''citizens 'of the Confederate States. The writer seems to have weighed his Words by drams and scruples, lest there should be a breath's weight of sympathy manifest upon the side of law and constitutional libery. The men Whe have undertaken, by the vilest treachery. that history records, to break: up the most beneficent govrnment ever formed, and who have done this for the sole - avowed purpose; of propagating slavery, and who maintain their ascend ancy undisputed in their own States only by fear and the violent suppression of the truth, are placed upon exactly the"same footing as the members of that go vernment under which this country-has in three-quar ters of a century risen.to the first rank, among the nations. The same paper says: -"This is not`neutrality. It but a miserable sham; a politician's counterfeit, too flimsy to•deceive the least practised eye. This ac cording to the rebels all the rights of -belligerents, this hastening to give thorn every recognition, eept mere 'formal diplomatic recognition, is •giving them, countenance, which, Coming from a power like Great Britain, is both aid . and comfort , The procla mation recognises their' right even to establish blockade equally with 'the government of the United States, and, for that matter, even with'Great Britain herself. This is neutrality with a vengeance.". Speaking further of the possibility "of England and France both assuming a hostile attitude towards us, the same paper asks: "Are we prepared for a foreign war?" and asserts, among .other things, the follow ing;—"Better that we should he . prepared, while crushing treason with one hand, with the other' to -hurl Wick a foreign ftie. 'lf ever we are to be in a poiition to assert the, political do - orib es inherited, from, Our fathers, and to= standfl*hem in:tbe•faceof• the world; and againat the world in .arms if •necessoiq, now is the time—now, wherethe soul of the people is inspired and the great heart of the rqpublic is throb bing with exultation.

One of these says that his, grandfather, served in America under La fayette; .that -he loves the United States and her, free institutions; but that he hates slavery, and is ready to fight for its extinction. Indeedi this is the tone of all the. letters. Among the people here and the press, the only issue which seems ,to be recognised- in this war of ours, is• Freedom vs, Slavery; and, if our Government desires to, iniure the, sympathy of all Europe in a manner which would render it im possible for any government ih `run counter to "it, - they should make this issue immediately and dis tinctly. As a specimen of this feelihg, I may men tion the ease of an Austrian officer, Who, happening to lain Paris, came personally, a few days since, to the legation and offered his services to go,tohtle - United States. 'Which side 'an, you want to fight on?' asked a gentle Man who was presdnt. 'Against slavery,' was the reply of an Austrian, which ought to shame our American slaveocrats." Nem and Timm among Slaveholders.—The London Shipping et:vette says:—"We learn from private letters that Southerners' write to their credi tors at New York that they cannot reniit, as they require at/ their means for Wizen For fitting out -privateers, among other things, to intercept their creditors' commerce.

Col- Fremont Bringing Arm s from Borope.— The Paris correspondent of the World says:--" Fremont is now engaged in negotiating for 20,000 stand of arms, principally Enfield rifles, which, if human agency will effect it, he Will. take 4 with-him on board the steamer, and within, ft,week after his arrival will be ready to take the:fielfl. , ' Would riot the narne.of the gallant leader, of :the Republican forces in 1856, of the path-finder of empire, rally around his standard a larger, more energetic; and determined body of men than any other one mat in the United States could raise? CO. Fremont has received, within a few weeks past, scores of letters from friends, acquaintances, and strangers; urging him to come, and he has replied to thew that his heart and soul is in the cause of his cOuntry, god that he is ready to sacrifice time, Abney, and life, if need be, in her behalf." Cassius N. Clay, 'the American Minister to Rus sia, has written a letter to the London Tinies on the American struggle, in brief but.tlecisive terms. He says that the revolted States'dan be subdued, but it is not proposed to subjugate them, but simply=to put down. their rebel citizens. England's true interest is to stand by the Union. He - irtquires if England can afford to offend the United States, and is Eng land so secure against home revolution and foreign. , ambition as, to venture to .sow the seed of revenge? He concludes by asserting that England is the-ina tural ally of the United States.

Sewing machines (so called) may be bought, it is true, for a smaller amount of dollars, but it is mistaken economy to invest anything in a worthless or unreliable article, and those who do so must abide the consequence!

Tea TRIBUNE will be, as it has been, a Political Journal, though not exclusively so. But, while it gives promi nence and emphasis to the discussion and elucidation of the great issue of the day, it sinks none of the characte ristics of a Business anti Family Newspaper. During the past year the TRIBUNE has been obliged to devote quite a large proportion of its space to polities, but we hope to be able to limit the space devoted to itlitical discussion, and devote more of our columns to subjects of less intense, but more abiding interest. Among these, we mean to pay especial attention to X.-EDUCATION The whole subject of - Education, both Popular and General, will be discussed in our columns throughout the year 1861; and we hope to enlist in that discussion some of the profoundest thinkers and the ablest instruc tors in our country. It is at once, our hope and our re solve, that the cause of Edecation shall receive an im petus from the exertions of the TRIBUNE, in its behalf during the year 1361. IL-AGRICULTURE We }mire been compelled to restrict our elucidations of this great irjerest, thrbughout 1860, anti shall endea vor to atone tfferefore in 1661. Whatever discovery. deduction, demonstration is calculated to render the re ward of labor devoted to cultivation more ample or more certain, shall receive prompt and full attention. lII.—MANUFACTURES. We bail every invention or enterprise, whereby Ante rieart capital and labor are attracted to, and advanta geously employed, in any department of manufacturing or mechanical industry, as a real contribution to the public weal, insuring ampler, steadier, more convenient, more remunerating markets to the farmer, with fuller employmentand better wages to the laborer. The pro gress of mining, iron-making, steel-malting, cloth weaving, &c., in our country, and the world shall be watched and reported by us, with an earnest and ac tive sympathy. IV.--FOREIGN AFFAIRS We employ the best correspondents in London, Paris, Turin, Berlin, and other European Capitals, to transmit us early and accurate advices of the great changes there, silently but certainly preparing. In spite of the pressure of domestic politics, our news from the Old World is now varied and ample; but we shall have to render it more perfect during the eventful year just before us. V.---HOME NEWS We employ regular paid correspondents in California, at the Isthmus of Darien, in the Rocky Mountain Cold Re.ion2 and wherever else they seem requisite.. From the most accessible portions of our own country, we derive our information mainly from the multifarious cor respondents of the Associated Press, from our exchanges, and the occasional letters of intelligent friends. We aim to print the cheapest general newspaper, with the fullest authentic summary of useful intellibence, that is any where afforded. Hoping to make each day a critic on the last, and _print a better and better paper, from year to year, as'our means are steadily enlarged through the general co-operation of our many well-wishers, we solicit - and shill labor to deserve a continuance of pub lic favor. . - TERMS.
