APPEAL OI THE SEAMEN’S FRIEND & SOCIETY. Office of the Am, Sea. Fr. Soc’y,, 7 80 Wall street, New York. $ The Board of the American Seamen’s Friend Society beg leave to represent to their pafrqns and the friends of the cause generally: —that never in the whole history of its operations has there been so much encouragement to labor for the salvation of seamen as at the present time; never have there been so many hopoful conversions, so much awakened Interest in their behalf, so many appeals for additional chaplains in new and important fo reign stations, as during the three years past; — that in the midst of these Spiritual influences, and Providential indioations urging us forward, the present national calamity, and ! consequent depres sion in money matters, has involved us in sdhous pecuniary embarrassments. Under these circumstances, and the somewhat general impression that there must be, a great di minution in the receipts of Benevolent Societies; the Board have carefully examined all parts ,of its field, to see what diminution dan he faa'de' in expenditures, but find any considerable intrench ment impossible .without great detriment to the work. To call a ohaplaln home would in some instances cost nearly as much as to sustain him a year, be sides breaking up the station, and losing, so.fcr as the advantage of permanency is concerned j<to a great extent, the labor and expense of years: sta tions too, which bid fair, by a few years’ support, to become permanent chaplaincies, and even self-sus taining. We therefore refer the subject to our patrons, to the Christian community whose almoners aha ser vants we are, and earnestly ask, must this re trenchment be made, and the work b? hindered* when the mere pittance of an average of 25 ets, a head oh each communicant only in tbetJenomf tious aooustoihdd' to contribute to this society, promptly sent lit, would immediately relieve the society from its embarrassments, sustain every chaplain nowin the field, and soon add; tp their number? We appeal to pastors and officers of churches 40 whom this may come to make an early effort to collect, in yourrespeotivecongregations,an amount at least equal to 25 cents for each communicant; Let the strong among you bear the burdens of the weak. Let the rich give of their abundlnce, hut let not the poor withhold their mites. Our|joountry is in danger. The Government calls for aid and nearly a half million of men at once respond, “ Here are we, ready to be offered on our country’s altar.” $25,000,000 are offered in a single month to save the country. With the (sample of the sublime and noble patriotism to save a nation before it, can the Church, catlcd to the higher and holier work of saving a world, fold her arms in remissness and discouragement, and conclude that In suoh times, her work must be sus pended, and the streams of her benevolence must dry up? There is no good reason for it. Were our countrymen and our armies to act so, every bat tle would be lost, and fhe nation ruined. Are our devoted self-denying men who have gone forth under the King of kings to the out-posts, for the conquest of a world, to be left unsupported by God’s host at home? We will not believe Chris tian men and women, at this age of the Church, thus guilty. We trust to have, In the response to this appeal, your order to go forward. In behalf of the Board, WM. A, BOOTH, President. H. Looms. I n „ , 8. B. S. Bisbeta, J Lor - Sec *• OUR OWH CHURCH. Rev. S. M. Sparks was installed, on the 20th ul timo, by the Presbytery of Pittsburgh, oyer the churches of Mt.

The Doctor is well on to 80. He is quite infirm, and his sight is poor. The lady bride is sixty-five, and is a maiden. Mrs. Spring has not been dead quite a year, and in New York it is regarded as quite an impropriety for a widower not to wait at least one year. In this marriage quite a little romance is blended. The lady has a fortune of $300,000 in her own right. She has long resided with her uncle, one of the most benevolent men in the city, and the lady is reported to say that it has always been her . great desire to become Mrs. Gardi ner Spring. The bride and bridegroom left the ohapel, and at once proceeded to the oars for a bridal trip to Niagara Falls, both seeming in need of as sistance and help, although the bride was sprightly for one oF her years.” : Not Unanimous.— Notwithstanding the extreme danger to which every opponent of the ecclesiastical and political terrorism of the Confederate States ex poses himself, the secession from the Old School Presbyterian Church is ndt accomplished with per fect unanimity. Dr. Grundy, of Memphis, has pub lished an emphatic protest against it.

It is doomed as sure as Sodom or Gomorrah, or Great Babylon. Its Hour has sounded, and its extinction, is not only certain, but near. All the Bishops of Christendom, aided by all the armies of the earth, cannot build up and perpetuate a wrong so'grievous. It is only to be deplored that men occupying conspi cuous places before the world should bo forget'the claims of religion, and humanity, arid' duty, as to ally themselves with so. black and indefensible an outrage,” ■.’■ ' ; Hftcv: Hennr Glaser, of *be~3qntbern jiHnois c°n fOTiwc) whs' IM'Williaiisbn:'couhty by tbe leader of a secession band, for denouncing them' in public.: The ball took effect in hie side, but. did not piove fatal. Rev. J. L. Corning.— We regret ,to learn that this brother, the pastor-elect of the Plymouth Church in this city, has been constrained to resign this post upon the ground of unsoundness of health. The Church has generously offered to gi ve him a furlough of one year. —Chicago Cong. Herald. FOREIGN. The Bulgarians and the Pope.—The accounts which the Roman Catholic press gave of a movement among the Bulgarians towards a union with Rome, are already shown to have been greatly exaggerated. The Bishop whom the Pope himself consecrated for the united Bulgarians, has already returned to the Greek Church. The majority of the Bulgarians per severe in their opposition to both the Greek and the Roman Ch urches, and the prospects of the Protestant missionaries who labor among them have of late be; oome much brighter. : Dr. Sehauffler, of Constantinople, has resigned his connexion with the American Board, and he will now be under the patronage of the British and Fo reign Bible Sooiety, as his work of translation comes more under their supervision. Tommy in Japan. —The correspondent of the World gives the following encouraging account of this personage: It may be interesting to some of his admirers in America to learn that “ Tommy ” is well, and residing at the United States legation as an interpreter. I am glad to find that all the petting he received in America has not spoiled him. He thinks the United States the best country in the world, which is not to he wondered at considering the displays he saw there of novelty and slpendor, and the attentions bestowed upon him in particular. lam glad to see that he is desirous to perfect his knowledge of English, and have offered to assist him in any way that is possible. He speaks of tbe Rev. Mr. Stewart, chaplain of the Niagara, in terms of high respect and affection. He has just repeated to me a good many of the rules for the conduct of life which that excellent minister fur nished him, at his own request before he left the ship. I cannot but hope that he will yet turn out a good and useful man. He certainly possesses good natural abilities, I trust he has learned some lessons for good to himßelf hereafter. THE ARMY. Inskip—A Harrow Escape.—A private letter from Washington acquaints us with the fact that Rev. J. S. Inskip, Chaplain of the Fourteenth (Brook lyn) Regiment, had a very narrow escape from death and capture, during tbe great battle. His regiment was in the thickest of tbe fight; and was fearfully ex posed to the enemy’s fife. They walked at least ten miles before the attack commenced, and then, with out a moment’s rest, were led forward four times to charge the enemy’s batteries. When the fearless and heroic commandant, Col. Wood, was wounded, Mr. Inskip fell back with him, resolving not to leave without administering every attention possible under the circumstances. When, on the reireat, they with others reached a bridge near Centreville, they found it impassable, because of the immense jam of baggage wagons, cavalry, and soldiers, to cross. Add to this, a battery of the enemy was opened upon the bridge with terrible slaughter. Mr. Inskip was compelled to leave the wounded man and leap into the stream in order to save himself from death. The wounded Colonel was taken prisoner, but Mr. loskip, by quickly fording the stream and rushing forward among the retreating, succeeded in making good his way to the Potomac. His escape is described as be ing almost miraculous.— W. Chris. Advocate. The Wounded. —A visitor to the Washington Hos pital, deputed by the Y. M. O. A., thus speaks in the Protestant Churchman of the wounded with whom he conversed: There were Sabbath School teachers and Bible scholars among them, who, when a Testament or pleasant Christian book would be given them, would cheer up, and with hearty animation receive you. One lad from Vermont, to whom we offered a Testa ment, said, “ I have one. That was one of the two things I did not throw away on that long and weary march.” Yes, we asked, and what was the other? The reply was, ‘‘My gun. All else—my blanket, knapsack, etc.—l let go; but my Bible and my gun I kept.” Meeting of Chaplains—A very full and inte resting meeting of army chaplains was held at Trinity Ohurob On Saturday, July 27th. Abou t twenty-five chaplains and' ten Other persona— among whom were Jlmmati ff two delegates from the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation of New York—were present. It was an ex ceedingly warm-hearted and solemn meeting. There were brethren who bad been in the thick of tbe con flict. Two of their number were absent—one dead upon the battle field, and one a .prisoner. A full consultation, which lasted four hours, with a half hour’s interruption for refreshments in the lecture room, on the best modes of promoting religion in tbe army, ensued. A profound regret, and a feeling of having put ourselves in the wrong before God aud man by fighting upon the Sabbath, seemed to be ex perienced by all. The chaplains who went into the fight testified that many of their men who were not religious expressed misgiving and regret at this need less violation of the Sabbath.— Wash. Cor. Prot. Churchman. Correct Sentiments. —ln a debate on the propo sal which was,before Congress to reduce the pay of volunteer chaplains, but which we believe didnof pass, tbe following remarks were made by Mr. Browning, tbe Senator from Illinois, who occupies the seat of tbe late Mr. Dougtase— “Mr. President—l suppose the army depends al most as much upon the moral condition of the sol diers as upon their physical condition and training. And,, fyr one, I do not hesitate to say that, in my opinion, whatever tbe amount maybe that is paid to chaplains of the army, there will be a larger corres ponding amount of service rendered, and benefit de rived from them, than from any other given number of_ men receiving an equal amount of pay. I do think, sir, that the chaplains in tbe army are among the most valuable of those who give their services to their country, in this time of its peril and danger: and I should be exceedingly reluctant to see a refu sal on the part of Congress to make to them an allowance not adequate to the services that they render—not at all adequate, I think, to the services that they render their country—but to some extent approximating a compensation.” The Solemnity of the Battle-field and v the true nature of the work,of war, have an impressive exhi bition in the following: “A soldier, who was in the battle of Bull Run, said that after the first fire of the enemy upon our troops, a great many men fell, wounded, all around. And from many of them the cry went up, ‘God, have mercy on my, soul.’ So earnest was the cry, and so contagious, that I found myself making, almost unconsciously to myself, the same prayer over and over again, as I was fighting— ‘ God, have mercy on my soul.’ He said that for two or three nights, after leaving for home and arriving here, be could not sleep. Ringing through his ears, through all the hours of ft wakeful night, was the impassionate, earnest cry; a ery which he could never forget—‘Gnd, have mercy on my soul’—such a cry os nope hut men passing into eternity could utter.” Incidents of Love, Hate, and Piety on the Battle-field. —The spirit of deadly and- inextin guishable hatred which fills some Southern souls was exemplified in another case, A Rhode Island soldier, utterly exhausted, stepped aside to rest a few .mo ments under the Shade. There he found a gasping and dying Southern soldier, and put his almost ex hausted canteen to his parched lips. The dying sol dier—an enthusiast in his cause—with high excite ment gasped out: “Why do you come to fight As? We shall utterly annihilate yon. We have ninety thousand men. You can never subjugate us. We have a series of batteries beyond which will destroy all the armies you can bring.” The Rhode Island soldier proceeded to state—and how strange and how tremendously real the discussion then and so —that the object of tbe war was not the subjugation of the South, but the preservation of the Union. “And now,” said the manly fellow, “I have given you water from my canteen, when its drops are more precious than diamonds. If you had found me, in this state, what would you have done?” The eyes of the l dying man gleamed, as the soldier said, like those of a basilisk, and he replied, “I would have put my bayonet to your heart.” In a few moments he went into eternity, and the Rhode Islander re sumed his-place on the battle-field. __. _ But there were also instances of Christian feeling exhibited on the-battle-field, one of which is very affecting. A wounded Federal soldier wsb hastily carried to a wood, and placed,by the side of a dying Georgian. The Georgian, evidently a gentleman, said to him, as they lay bleeding side by side, “We came on this field.enemies— let us part friendsand extended to him his hand, which the other grasped with the reciprocal expression of friendly feeling. They were both Christian men, and they lay with elasped-hands on that bloody field, until the hand of the noble Georgian was cold in death. How beauti ful that scene, amid the horrors of the battle-field I Who shall say, in view of it, that because of this strife between the North and South, they can never again clasp hands in mutual friendship and esteem? Who shall say that the time shall not come when on some well-fought field, they who met as enemies shall part as friends, and peace and restoration and mutual esteem ensue? : Another incident was sublime, and shows how people; wheraYaiMhgt m»y he. A Strong, tall man from Maine received a Minnie ball directly in his breast; and with the out stretched arms and the upward leap which is said often to mark such a death, he exclaimed,“Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Stejto-s si Ijje'Straggle The North. Traitors among us taken in hand.— A large number of arrests of suspected persons has been made by our government. Several papers of Wore or less pronounced sympathies with the rebel lion, have been suppressed by the mob in this State and further North. The Marshal of this District took possession of the office of the Christian Observer on Thursday last, and warned the Editor against further issuing bis paper. Agents of the Southern States going or returning on the European steam ships, or collecting money for Southern account have been seized with large amounts of money in their possession. Northern men are not unfrequently im plicated in these seizures. The World thus speaks of a notable instance: Jesse D. Bright, Senator from Indiana, is a traitor to the Union cause, not merely in doing all that he was able to do in his senatorial office to impede the vigorous prosecution of the war and denounce the administration which is conducting it, but also in aiding and abetting the rebels against whom it is waged. • In the possession of Thomaß B. Lincoln, of Texas, a secessionist arrested on Saturday, 17th, in Cincinnati, was found anoteof introduction from Mr. Brjgbt to the. president of the rebel confederacy, cordially recom mending him and his invention in firearms to Davis' favorable consideration. The Late Loan. —The advices from the country in regard to the nasional loan are very satisfactory, and the character of tbe subscriptions at the sub treasurer’s office is such as to show the banks that they are soon to be relieved of a large portion of it. 'The subscriptions are all sorts of sums, from $5O upwards, and the numerous inquiries in reference to the form of application indicate'a' decidedly growing interest from people of moderate means. / Charges of Corruption,.— ln reply to these charges so frequently made against the Administra tion, the corrrespondent of the New York Examiner says: A long and careful investigation enables me to say that the prevailing notions concerning"corruption” are for the most part utterly destitute of any founda tion in fact. Never, in the history of the War De partment, were arms, accoutrements, wagons, har nesses, clothing and provisions purchased at'such low prices, or with such a scrupulous regard for goodness of material or workmanship. The provi sions, of which so much complaint has been made, were mostly purchased by former Administrations, and not under any contract entered into by the pre sent. ' There have been more corruption and favoritism in Borne individual States, than around the offices of tbe Central Government. “ I speak that Ido know, and testify that 1 have seen.” I repeat it, this Adminis tration is not corrupt, the people are not being plun dered, except so far as a remnant of old abuses still clings to the machinery with which the new men are compelled to labor. All Written Communications carried by ex press companies to the seceded States, are prohibited. The U. S. Grand Jury of New York having pre sented as public nuisances the Daily News, Hay Book and Journal of Commerce of that city, and the Brook- lyn Eagle, the Postmaster General has issued an order prohibiting their carriage through the U. S. mails. Applications for the Loah.— The New York Times of Friday says no less than eighty applications were filed with the Sub-Treasurer in that city, Thurs day and Friday, and in all descriptions of sums, and from nearly every imaginable class of people, from fifty dollars to fifty thousand. Launch of the Tuscarora —The launch of the U. S. sloop-of-war Tuscarora was successfully ac complished at the Navy Yard, on Saturday after noon. At New York city, on the 26tb, the U. S.

States; and I don’t to break the block ie United States. I think that the cost of a war with the United States would give, probably, half wages for a considerable time to those persons in Lancashire who would be out of work if there was no cotton.” “My opinion is, that the safety of tbe products on which this coun try depends rests far more upon the success of the Washington Government than upon its failure.” Mr. Bright made some other remarks on the ques tion of cotton, and then described the cause for which we of the United States are fighting, with such jus tice that we think it well to put his words on record. He says: “The object of the Washington Government is to maintain tbeir own Constitution; and to'act-legally, as it permits and requires. Wo had a heptarchy in this country, and it Was -bought to be a good thing to get rid of it, and to have a united nation. If the thirty-three or thirty-four States of the American Union can break off whenever they like, I can see no thing but disaster and confusion throughout the whole of that continent. I aay that the war, be it successful or not, be it Christian or not, be it wise or not, is a war to sustain the Government, and to sus tain the authority of a great nation.” And:again he asks: “ Do you suppose that if Lancashire and Yorkshire thought that they would break off from the Uoited Kingdom, those newspapers which are now preach ing every kind of moderation to the Government of Washington, would advise the Government in Lon don to allow these two counties to set up a special government for themselves? When the people of Ireland asked if they should secede, was-it proposed in London that they should secede peaceably? No thing .of tbe kind. lam not going to defend what is taking place in a country that is well able to de fend itself. But I advise you, and I advise the peo ple of England, to abstain from applying to the United Statde doctrines and principles which we never apply to our own case. At any rate, they have never fought for the 4 balance of power' in Europe. They have never fought to keep up a decaying em pire, They have never squandered the money of their people in such phantom expeditions as we have been engaged in; and now, at this moment, when you are told that they are going to be ruined by their vast expenditure, why, the sum that they are going to-raise in the great emergency of this'grievous war, is no greater than what we raise every year during a time of peace.” Suppressing Disloyal Papers.—A staid contem porary says: *• The press has its limits beyond which it cannot go with impunity. It has no liberty to publish libels upon private character, to publish obscene language or pictures, to infringe upon the copyright of bthere, nor in any way to aid, abet, or encourage tbe enemies of the nation in time of war. As we understand it, there is no freedom of the press under our Constitution, which allows it to ex tend its sympathies and aid to the Southern rebellion; and every press which does that becomes an open enemy to the Government, and thereby a public nuisance that ought to be abated. But how shall it he abated? Not by mob-law, we say- We advocate no such means of suppressing treason, or the abettors of treason, however aggravating the offence may be. The same law of the land which forbids and punishes the trea sonable note of individuals, when exerted in furnish ing the enemies of the country with material aid, is, in ' our opinion, applicable to them, when they fur nish them aid and comfort through the press. Let, then, an outraged loyal community, in every caee of such aggravation, appeal to the strong arm of the law, and not to the violence of an excitedand uncon trollable multitude, for tbe abatement of the evil,” The First, Minnesota Regiment —-We think the palm of heroism, in the late struggle at Bull Run, mußt be yielded— not to the Eire Zouaves, but to tbe First Minnesota. How much of their brave con duct, which would have done credit to the best dis ciplined regulars, was due to the example of their chaplain, we know not; but we aro inclined to be- Bevqsj&at the readiness of this sincere man of God, RevTE. D. Neill, to expose himself to every peril incurred by the soldiers, contributed not a little to cultivate in them the spirit whioh they manifested in the face of the enemy. We give a portion of the report of Col. Gorman, in which it will be seen he makes honorable mention of the chaplain. • On arriving at the point indicated, being the ex treme left of the enemy, and the extreme right of ourTinp,jand in advance of all other of oar troops, and where I was informed officially that two other regiments had declined to charge, we formed a line of battle, our right resting within a few feet of the woods, and the left at and around Rickett’s battery, and upon the crest of the bill; within fifty or sixty feet of the enemy's line Of infantry, With whom we could have readily conversed in an ordinary tone of voice. ; Immediately upon Rickett’s battery coming into position and we in “line of battle," Colonel Heint zeiman rode up between our lines and that of the enemy, within pistol-shot of each, which circumstance staggered my judgment, whether those in front-were friends or enemies, it being--equally manifest that the enemy Were in the same dilemma as to our iden tity. But;a few seconds, however, undeceived both, they displaying the rebel,and we the Union flag. In stantly a blaze of fire was poured into the face of the combattants, each producing terrible destruction, owing to the close proximity of the forces, which was followed by volley after volley, in regular and irregu lar order as to time, until Riekett’s battery was disa bled and cut to pieces, and a large portion of its officers and men had fallen, and until companies H, I, K, C, G, and those immediately surrounding my regimen tal flag, were so desperately cut to pieces as to make it more of a slanghter-house than an equal combat, the enemy manifestly numbering live guns to our ope, besides being intrenched in the woods and be hind ditches and pits plainly perceptible, and with batteries upon the enemy’s right,-enfilading ray left flank, and within three hundred and fifty yards di rect range, After an effort to obtain aid from the Fire Zouaves, then immediately upon oiirleft, two or three different orders came to retire', as it was mani fest that the contest was too deadly and unequal to be longer justifiably maintained. "Whereupon I gave the command to retire, seeing that the whole of our forces were seemingly in retreat. Every inch of ground, however, was. strongly contested by skir mishers, through the woods, by the fences, and over the undulating ground, until we bad retired some four hundred yards in reasonably good order, to a point where the men could procure water, and then took up a regular and orderly retreat to such point as some general officer might indicate hereafter. I regard it as an event of rare occurrence in the annals of history that a regiment of volunteers, not over three months in the service, marched up without flinching to the mouth of batteries of cannon, sup ported by thousands of infantry, and opened and irialntained a fire until one-fifth of the whole regi ment were killed, wounded, or made prisoners before retiring, except for purposes of advantages of posi tion. My heart is full of gratitude to my officers and men for their gallant bearing throughout the whole of this desperate engagement, and to distinguish the merits of one from another would be invidious, and injustice might he done. Major Dike and my Adjutant bore themselves with coolness throughout.. My chaplain, Bey. E. D. Neill, was on the field the whole time and in the midst of danger, giving aid and comfort to the wounded.
