A Great Surprise.— The Pacific, of June 27tb, *'Lust Thursday night, just about bed-time, a foroe rf forty or fifty strong entered the domicil of their worthy pastor, the Rov. S. 11. Willey, putting the inmates to a temporary, but not disagreeable, incon venience. A merry time they had in spreading the table and performing many a slight-of-hand, such as corralling a oow and calf in the yard, and dropping “eagles” in very sly places, nnd entertaining them selves without let or bmderanee.

Brier, exploring agent of the Church Extension Committee of the New School de nomination on this coast. Wo are-informed that the church Is composed of eleven members. This, so iir ih we know, is the only Calvlnistio church in tho Territory. The following Is copied from the Silver Age: “The Her. Mr. Brier, late of Marysville, has for two weeks past been canvassing this place for the purpose of raising the means with which to erect a church fur the use of members of the Presbyterian church. Having met with each success as justifies him in com mencing the work, it is proposed by the Trustees elect to let the contract for the brick to-day of a build ing OS by 30, with twenty foot walls.”— San Fran cum Pacific, OTHER BRANCHES OE THE PRESBYTE RIAN CHURCH.

The Two “Schools.”— Tn view of the ecclesiasti cal changes now taking place, the Presbyter, of Cin cinnati, (0, S.) remarks: ' “We believe that if the Old and Now School in the South can be one, they will be able to dwell together in unity more nearly than the Old School of the two sections will be able to do under present circum stances. The Old and New School of the North could more harmoniously live and labor in the same Hmrch than can the Old School of the two sections. If the South set up for themselves, the Old and the Now School of the North will sooner become one than the Old School be re-conetruoted on Re present basis,'' CONGREGATIONAL. Yale Theological Seminary.—The Independent says: * ' . . Tho death of Professor Gibbs, who, with the ex ception of Dr.. Fitoh, was the lasi, of the early cprps ' f instructors in the Theological Department in Yale f'dlcge, made necessary an entire reorganisation of tlmt department, In view of the growing demands of |in: College and the country. Accordingly, at a meet big of the Corporation of the College, held during the past week, Rov, James M. Hoppin, formerly of Salem, Maas., and a graduate of the class of 1840, was elected Professor of the Pastoral Charge In the Theological Department. At the same time, Prof. George P, Fisher, having resigned the Livingston i'ri I'ossorshtp of Divinity, was chosen Professor of hrclesiustlcal History. Mr. Honry 11.

EPISCOPAL The Brigadier Bishop-Our Episcopal exchanges , lust refused to credit the assumption of military 'Hies by ono who still retained the surplice. They ,r . l! giierod, and nil evangelical Christians and pa “>ts with them, at the now Undeniable fact. We I'i 'io tho remarks of a recent number of the Church. Journal, commencing with ah e'j£rrni)l; from a South ern paper: The Savannah Republican,' we are glad to say, speaks in decided terms against this appointment, and against the Bishop’s action in accepting if “ Should the worthy Bishop accept, he will be doing credit to his patriotism at the expense of his wisdom. The appointment is a bad one. Can he with justice to the heavenly cause to which he has consecrated his life abandon bis Diocese and go into the camp? Is the Devil less busy than be is wont to be, that the watchman on the tower of Zion can safely relax his vigilance and abandon his post? In justice to men far better qualified than himself, as woll as to the cause whose interests are too sacred to be jeoparded upon contingencies of ignorance and inexperience we do hope that Bishop Polk will decline the office’ if, indeed, it has been really tendered." " ’ As it is more than thirty years since the Bishop has had any practical familiarity with military mat tors, it is hardly conceivable that his appointment was necessary from the lack of men of military train ing. His West Point studies must now be somewhat rusty. The animus of the appointment seems rather to be expressed by the Crescent, when it says: “ Let the North understand from this, circumstance the spirit that animates our people.” But while all idea of ecclesiastical discipline is out of the question, there is as little likelihood that the Southern cause will gain sympathy anywhere, from the fact that a Bishop has resorted to a course which, at all times, in every part of Christendom, has been regarded with peculiar abhorrence. Not until the 6th century was any such scandal heard of. Even in the darkest days of mediaeval corruption! when Bishops were not only prelates in the Church but secular princes besides, and in that capacity raised armies and fought at the head of them—even then the heart and conscience of the Church con demned it, and the’ truth was loudly proclaimed, whether Bishops would hear, or whether they would forbear. So averse is every function of the ministry from bloodshed, that custom does notallow Bishops even to sit m judgment in cases of life or limb; and in all such cases, down to the present day, the Bi shops of the Church of England rise and leave the House of Lords* The acceptance of a commission in the army, by a Bishop, is, we believe, without a precedent in any age, and certainly, since the Refor mation, without a parallel* It awakons in the bosom of every true churchman emotions of amazement, grief, and shame, too deep for utterance. GENERAL. The Church and the War —During the Revolu tionary War, the Methodist Church grew, in the storm. Her ministers still labored, and although hunted and persecuted; managed to have converts and additions to the church. Just before the war, there were IT preachers and 2,073 members. At the close, there were 43 preachers, and 14,000 mem bers! ■ Degrees Conferred on Colored Bishops.— At the late Commencement of Wilberforco University, Xenia, Ohio, the degree of D. D. was conferred on Bishop Payne and Bishop Burns, of Liberia, the first instance in which this compliment has been bestowed upon colored ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church. ” Eev. R. B. Bement, having been a clergyman of the Old School Presbyterian Church for twenty years, and after long deliberation and investigation, comes to the conclusion that the doctrines and practices of the Baptist Church, both as regards the mode and subjects of baptism, were the only Scriptural teaeh ing, was, on the 9th of Juhe, immersed and received into the fellowship of the Baptist Church, North Fairfield, Huron county, O.

Death of Bishop Bowman, of Pennsylvania X(A?fOASTER, Pn.j August ,3d. —This cu mm unity wus shocked this evening by the intelligence of the sud den death of Bishop Bowman, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, this morning, while on bis way from Pittsburgh to Butler. The Bishop left his home in this city in ordinary good health, on Tues -daylaat. on a. viai* to.the goal-oil reginns-af Wngtarn Pennsylvania, He preached his last sermon in St. John’s Free Chorob, Lancaster, on Sabbath evening last. _ The Bishop of Exeter, has intimated his inten tion of giving the splendid donation of ten thousand pounds towards the foundation of a theological col lege for the West of England, which is to be imme diately begun. THE ARMY. A Faithful Commander.— Tbe superintendent of the First Baptist school is commander of a Rhode Island company, and whatever may be said of the demoralizing influence of camp life in general, I be lieve that it may prove to have been the salvation of more than one youth in this city, who has consented to serve under this faithful commander. Before leav ing home, the soldiers all subscribed to tbe most rigid rules of temperance, and soon after their arrival in Washington, one of the soldiers wrote from Camp Sprague, to his pastor, as follows:—“The practica bility of a prayer-meeting was discussed. I con versed with one and another, and ‘though all ap proved, no one seemed ready to commence it. At length, I gathered a few of the men around me, and made the proposal. The way was opened, for all agreed that it was desirable. So I went forward, and notified the meeting. Thirty-five were present, and the good effects were soon apparent. At my re quest, Col. Burnside allowed the use of some refuse boards, to build a small chapel, and we had some precious meetings in it. Ever Binco I left home, I have- felt that if it were not for my hope of eternal life, I should not have had courage to leave all I hold dear on earth, to engage in this conflict. My trust is in God, and my prayer is, that he wit) overrule these conflicting elements for his glory, and the good of the nation.” — S. S. Times. Chaplains in the Army.— Some very discredi table facts have been recently brought to the notice of the government at Washington. Men, it seems, have received appointments ns military chaplains who have never been recognised by any branch of tho Church as ministers of the Gospel. They have sought these offices for merely selfish purposes; and those to whom the authority belongs have listened to their applications, and appointed them. “Put me, lpray thee, into one of the priest’s offices, that I may eat apiece of bread,” has been in fact, if not in form, tbe application; and to the disgrace alike of the go vernment and of individuals, we are assured that in not a few instances men of questionable morality have been thus appointed. In one regiment, it is said that a play-actor bears the name and receives the emolu ments of a chaplain. It is bad enough that the young men who volun teer to fight the nation’s battles should be exposed to the fraud and knavery of unprincipled contractors — that they should bo cheated in their clothing anid their food, that they should be obliged to wear rotten jackets and paper-soled shoes, to feed upon mouldy bread and tainted pork; hut it is infinitely worse that deception should be practised upon them in the guise of professedly religious teachers, and that our holy Christianity should be presented to them as a mere sham in the person of its professed teachers.— Christian Advocate. A Chaplain in the Field.— A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial gives the following de scription of the work of a Methodist minister, a mem ber of the Indiana Conference, and chaplain of one of the regiments of that State:— " The Rev. T. C. Workman distinguished himself at Rich Mountain. The chaplain was one of Persi fer Smith’s ‘ mounted men ' in Mexico, and had ‘ smelled powder ’ before. Col. Manson desired some body to reconnoitre in advance of his regiment. The chaplain stepped out forty yards in advance towards the enemy's lines under a sharp fire from the rebel batteries. After ho got within three hundred and fifty yards of their breastworks both sides opened in full career, his own friends firing over his bead. Lie had given the desired information and was seeking for more. As Manson’s column advanced, he thought it necessary to get out of tbe way, and he ' treed.’ The tree proved a good cover, since it was sprinkled with balls. As soon, however, as the wounded began to fall in the Tenth, the chaplain broke cover, and during the remainder of the battle was conspicuously engaged in removing,sufferers to the rear. Religion in the Army.—A Washington corre spondent of the Watchman and Reflector - say s:—- Meanwhile the anticipated religious spirit which it was hoped would pervade the army, has been pecu liarly realized. Many of tbe regiments have very excellent chaplains, and for those that have not our city pastors who love their work have had more than they could do in riding often four or five miles into Virginia of a Sabbath afternoon. Several of the Colonels of regiments, as Col. Dunneil, of the sth Maine, and Col. Howard, of the 3d Maine, the former a Baptist, the latter an Episcopalian, are devoutly pious and active Christian men, having daily devo tion and frequent evening prayer-meetings in their tents. Several of the regiments, as the Ist Rhode island, the Ist Massachusetts, the Ist New Hamp • w? n<i tl ? e sth Maine have daily evening prayer with the regiment drawn up after dress parade. In some of the regiments, as the 3d Maine, the 23d New rork, and the Ist New Jersey, there have been re vivals, and conversions connected with their night prayer-meetings. Some of our very best pastors, as tfev. Mr Jameson, of Providence, R. 1., Rev. Mr. £nox, of Maine, and Rev. Mr. Crane, of Ilmira, i., are among the chaplains. Many of the regi ments are visited by pastors from a distance, so that even Archbishop Hughes lfas thought it best to fot lowand look after the members of h’s flocks. Never have our preachers who love their work felt more the spirit ot their mission or entered more joyfully into its toils, the Union prayer-meeting, which for a line seemed scattered by the conflict of views and reelings newly meeting-in it, is again assuming its tormcr stable sweetness of spirit and attractiveness to those who love Christ’s people and cause. Befes of flje Struggle. The Potomac. Excessive Lenity. —The U. S. Gkeetfeof July 31, oa ?fj. . 0 have now confined in the old Capitol 1 j ® ixt y-five rebel prisoners. Thev are treat ed daily by the ladies of Washington to all the luxu ries of the season; and many of' them fare better, ana have more real friends and sympathizers than they .ever had before. Per contra, our brave and pa triotio men, now in the hands of the enemy, are con signed to hard work upon the retrenchments, and treated generally like dogs. If we were willing to exchange, wc have not the men to do it with, those rebels captured in Western Virginia having been dis charged after going through the farce of taking the oath, and observing thoroughly all oar movements, ends and aims. This may bo all right. ' Bat I cop. fess to be too obtuse to see it in that light.” The Press, speaking of the rumored return of Col. Duncan from the Tebel army to Louisville, Ky., where he belongs, makes some pertinent suggestions bearing on the same topic. It says:—“ If he lias the supreme assurance to return to Louisville, ought he not to be arrested as soon as he arrives? or should he be suffered to renew his. machinations, enlist more rebels, and conspire more effectnally against the go vernment than he has heretofore done? We want some of the spirit of the. Revolutionary Putnam, when he wrote curtly to the British commander that one of his men had been arrested as a spy, tried as a spy, and. hung as a spy! We are dealing too leniently with treason, and giving dangerous immu nity to traitors, when they are allowed to walk at large among us.” The Rebel loss. —An estimate of the killed and wounded, by the Chief Military Surgeon at General Beauregard’s Headquarters, places the amount at 300 to 400 killed, and 1000 to 1200 wounded. So says a Richmond despatch to a, New Orleans paper. Harper’s Perry. —Gen. Banks' eolumn is mainly on the Maryland side of the river. It is undergoing reconstruction by the substitution of three years’ for three months’ men-. A Baltimore letter says: “There is a mistaken idea about General Banks evacuating Harper's Ferry. An impression has been made that lie has abandoned it. Such is really not the case. The true and only way of holding that strong, point so as to prevent its being occupied by an enemy, is to possess the Mary land side or heights opposite. This is what the Ge neral has wisely done.” The Confederates have- two fortifications, one ranged along the other, and fifteen thousand men op posite the Point of Rocks, and during the night were receiving reinforcements of provisions and men. Maryland Treason Prisoners.— Eleven of the prisoners, until recently confined in Port M'Henry, have been sent to Port Hamilton, N. Y-, probably to make room for others. This includes three of the four police commissioners. Marshal Kane, and others, indicted by the grand jury, remain. The Legislature are again in session, said to be ripe for any treasonable plot that can further the ends of Davis and his crew. . Rebel Prisoners. —The government does not pro pose to recognise the Southern Confederacy by an exchange of prisoners. All who have not been offi cers of the United States army will be released on giving their parole not to bear arms again against the United States, or afford aid and information to the enemy. General M'Clellan » one of the least pretentious of men—he generally wears the simple blouse of the rifleman, with not even, the starred shoulder straps to denote his rank—a man who never wastes time — ho is indefatigable in bis pursuit and attack of the fqU , jl'iy i *u , iTgndng , ‘m'‘'tHB"e!ioi ua 'wawirnr the utmost comfort of his men compatible with a sol dier’s life. When his line is on the march heisever among the men, with a kind and cheering word for every company; a pleasant look, or kind salute, or hearty grasp of the hand for every officer or private with whom he is brought on speaking terms by busi ness; and in a fight he is always at the front of the column, in the thickest of the danger, encouraging his soldiers by cheering words and fearless deeds, ne takes soldiers’ fare with the rest, asking no bet ter food, and no more luxurious bed than the newest recruited private under his command. If he sees a man without proper shoes or clothing, he has that man, with his captain, sent to his own quarters, where the man is served with the garment he needs, and the captain receives a reprimand that leads him to look more closely after the comfort of his men in future.”— Tribune. The next in command to General Scott is George B. M’Cletlan, a Pennsylvanian, and his immediate executive officer is the new brigadier General, An drew Porter, a native of -Lancaster county in the same State. The presence of General McClellan among the troops is communicating to them a large share of his own spirit, and prompt measures are now being taken to repress the disorder among the troops in Washington. Troops offered. —Since tbe passage of the bill authorizing the President to accept the services of half a million volunteers, offers have already been made to supply one-half of that number, including with infantry a large proportion of cavalry and ar tillery. * States and individuals are alike patriotic in such material tenders. As to the latter, it is required that they shall be endorsed by responsible parties, the recommendation of members of Congress having much weight with the Department. The Slaves at Alexandria. —The Secretary of War has directed Col. Franklin, who is in command at Alexandria, to liberate all the slaves in prison at that post, and to employ them in assisting to con struct fortifications, paying them for their work as day laborers. He also directed that other slaves escaping to our army shall be disposed of in a simi lar manner. The First Minnesota Regiment. Col. Gorman, is reported not to have had an officer .absent during the night since its arrival at Washington, a month or six weeks since. To this is largely attributed its excellent discipline, and the attachment of the men to their officers. Heroic Conduct of our Soldiers.— The Wash ington correspondent of the Independent gives the following remarkable instances of heroic Conduct in connection with the late disaster: “ There is one man in one of our hospitals, who, having been shot through the neck, tied his hander ehief round it, and walked all the way, thirty miles, into town. Capt-. Todd, of the Vermont Second, re ceived a bail which grazed his windpipe, laid tbe ca rotid artery bare, and after that, led his company in good order from the battle-field. Col. Marston, of the New Hampshire First, was wounded in two places, once severely in the arm. He tied up his arm, and for two hours after led his men in battle. After that he rode into Washington, and had one ball extracted from his arm and another from his breast. A young civilian, who has charge of the news despatches here—who is Government censor, in fact, went over to Ccntreville to see the battle. He arrived upon the field at two o’clock in tbe afternoon, and finding one of his artillery guns poorly served, took off his coat, and for two hours helped work it. The rebel cavalry charged upon it, and lie seized a musket to aid the soldiers in its defence, and emp tied a rebel saddle of its occupant. He then went into the Ccntreville hospital and worked for two hours, helping the wounded, in one case with a pen knife extracting a bullet from the neck of a beseech ing soldier. When he arrived in Washington he •was drenched in human gore. Our Enemy.— The reports of atrocities committed by the Southern soldiers on our wounded and dead at the Battle of July 21, arc too numerous and well authenticated to be entirely discredited. Says a Cor respondent of the Protestant Churchman: “It is an enemy among whom five men could be seen holding up a prisoner on the points of fire bayonets, and nut be shot down for the worse than Sepoy atrocity of the dastard deed. The fact was told me by un eye witness, a soldier of an Ohio regiment.” Southern Cotton and Northern Shipping.— In one of his recent letters to the London Times, Mr. liussell relates a curious suggestion made by a French gentlemen, now in New Orleans, to some ar dent cotton planters there. Ho stated to them that even if the blockade were broken by England and France, as they hoped it would be, the available shipping of these two nations would not suffice to carry the cotton crop .to Europe, and that without the aid of the immense mercantile marine of the Northern States, Southerljcotton -would lie and rot in Southern ports, even me they open. Slaves Liberated byt® Government, —A good poraon ot the work on tfflintrenchments was done by the slaves of Alexandria ho were liberated early last week by direction of til Secret iry of War. They were paid fur-their hi bor n silver coin, the same as other laborers. J It is understood that tit] all slaves, in nil places onr armies, are to be s' paid. President Looki after tie. Wounded; — Ihe President, Governor Seward, and Mrs. Fred. Seward visited tho huspit s in Georgetown. They cheered the wounded by heir kind words, and the interest thus manifested a them will do more to nurse them up than a cbi tof medicine. The few kind words spoken will, ;ver be forgotten by the recipients. Westemv irginia. General Wise Retre ;ing. — Washington, Au gust L—-The War Deparl tent has received the fol lowing, direct from Roset ran/,, by telegraph, dated to-day: “General Cox reached auley Bridge on the 29th ultimo,.
