Batavia and Bantam. —A church has just been enclosed nt the former place, in Clermont eo., Ohio. A correspondent of the Herald writes: “A little less tlmn a year ago they had so far succeeded that a very PM t briek structure (45 by 35 feet) was up and en olnit'd. The means at command were now exhausted and the work stopped. Then came the hard times, lint in May last they secured preaching every two wwb, and one more effort was made to finish the ciiureh. The result of that effort is that the floor m„l seats were put‘,in, and on yesterday we occupied tin. house, and celebrated the Lord’s Supper there fri he first time. One member was added to the church by letter, and the ordinance of baptism was administered to five children,” The correspondent c ntimies: "At Bantam, eight miles distant, where ! preach every alternate Sabbath, we have an in teresting little church. At a communion season there three weeks ago, there were seven members added to the church, and eleven children baptised. This church contemplates building soon. We now worship in a school-house."

A Church Struck by Lightning.—The Second Presbyterian Church, Bridgeton, N. J., was struck by lightning on Sabbath msroirie. tha.lkt^- —Oometdgr- aile damage was done. A Declinature.— Rev. Dr. Happersett, of the 0. 5. Presbyterian Church, recently appointed Super intendent of Missions on the Paoific Coast, has. de clined this position. The Banner, of Pittsburgh, ccnsiderß his declinature a matter of congratulation, inasmuch as the appointment Involved nn unneces sary expense, while the New York Observer is of sd'ilTerent opinion, and says s ' “ The numerous friends of Dr. Happersett on the IV'ific will regret that he has come to this oonolu fiin, ns they were anxious to avail themselves' of Hi experience and steal in this great work." i Deaths of Ministers^— Rev.

At present our people must-lea£n from their pastors or their clerical journals, wbat the clergy devise, and listen to appeals from these to furnish the ‘men and means.’ They respond generously, let it he said to their honor, but how much more interest would they naturally feel in these appeals if they themselves were associated in the origination of our plans, not merely the subordi nate instruments of the pastorate?’* The Canadian French.—The Bnptistsaremaking some progress among Father ChiniquyV.French Co lonists,in the neighborhood of Kankakee, Illinois. Tho Chronicle says: Rev. L. Auger, at St. Anne’s, baptized four the third Sabbath in'July, and thirteen the fourth Sab bath-seventeen in all. The French Mission church now numbers about thirty. Mr. Auger is exerting a wide and healthful influence among the colonists of St. Anne. Religion in the Cabinet.—The Boston Recorder publishes a letter to the Hon. Edward Bates, in which it is said r—“ I presume you are the only pro fessed follower of Christ in the President’s Cabinet!” We are glad to say that there are at least two. Go vernor S. P. Chase has long been a worthy member of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this city. He is a Low Churchman, and was raised mainly by his uncle,-Bishop Philander. Chaser He has ever en joyed the confidence of the-Christian,public in this community. Southern Methodism.— The New Orleans Advo cate gives us the following as the doctrine of- the Southern Church: “ One of the principal elements of the great pro slavery movement is friendship for the negroes. Southern people feel profoundly assured that they are fighting for the only rights, the only comfortable life, and the only true social and political statue the negro can ever have. They feel that they are fightr ing for Chrystian oivilifcation the Afri can can ever enjoy, either in this or anyoEßSTTioun try. Slavery is rapidly coming to be regarded as a providential system of African civilization. It has long since come to be regarded as k * power’ in gene ral civilization; now, the idea of the present and eternal welfare of the African is involved in its de fence. Southern men defend slavery now upon the same principle and with the same spirit as the® do their religion, their homes, their wives and children, their personal boner and independence.”^) Pastoral Relation Dissolved.— The Rev. R. T, Oheever, of Jewett.city,. Ct., has retired from the pastoral charge of the Congregational- churob in that place.. His farewell sermpn was preached to a large audience, from the 2,oth chapter of Aots,.anii 2Ztb WBe ' : . ‘ l- ” “For 1 have not shunned to declare übSlyou. all the counsel of God.” - .

At an early age be attended, the Methodist Sabbath, school at His mother is a godly Sifkrainei Lord. . . By the favor of a lady friend, the narrator was introduced to the parents of the young soldier, and he spent a most delightful timerinlistening' to the recital of their treasured memories of'their Elmer. A pocket Bible was shown to the, visitor, which was returned with, his cap, .and sword, and. military, coat, from the scene of his untimely death,. The little marker was.placed at the 17th. chapter of St. John, and' the mother said, weeping, that she believed it was the last chapter Elber had' ever read in the world. From the conversation, the speaker gathered that the young hero was a most remarkable example of the deepest filial affection. His parents were the dearest objects of his care, and the constant recipi ents of his tender and loving attentions. A Christian General.—The statement that Gene ral McClellan called upon his pastor, and united with him in prayer before starting for Western Virginia, has been contradicted by several newspapers'. Dr. Thompson, of Cincinnati, in a'sermoh.at Troy, re cently, said he was the pastor alluded to, and, though he never designed* to give the incident any publicity, he must fully confirm' the statement. foreign. Polish Religiousness.—The Dublin Univerity Magazine remarks that a strong religious feeling is one of the national characteristics of Poland.- In removing to a new farm it is always customary in Poland to have it solemnly blessed by a priest. In fact, God's blessing is invoked upon every under taking and trivial domestic arrangements and du ties. Ho cook will as much as put a batch of bread into the oven without first having made the sign of the cross to insure a satisfactory result. God’s holy will be done,” is invariably the concluding pbrnße in the recital of an afflicted creature's misfor tunes, as “God repay you” Is the expression of thanks for any benefit received. The Sabbath in France. —The Rev. Mr, Hocart, President of the French Conference, while attending the British Conference, which met July 25tb, in Newcastle, stated that the working classes of the French had no day of rest. On asking a workman in a large clothing establishment in Paris where he attended worship,—he received the following re ply:— - ! "We have no time for going anywhere. I am so exhausted on the Sabbath, that I oan but just creep into my bed at night. Sabbath is Our busiest day.” , , An Obstinate Confessor.— It is said that Father Giacomo, Cavour’s confessor, refused to tell the Pope what that eminent-statesman said in hie iastjfflit ments, on the .ground that it wasbrj& tbwwetttmfwacramental- - secrecy. ' 'The Independent ** Another story is that, learning from Giacomo that Cavour had made no retraction, tibe Pope and his counsellors tried to compel the confessor to acknow ledge that be had done wrong in giving him absolu tion and the last sacrament.” Giacomo having refused to do this, also, was dis missed, having first been deprived of hie benefice. Creed of the Chinese Rebels.—The following, wbiob we extract from the Boston Recorder, is said to embrace the faith of the Chinese insurgents. Some of the statements are very like those of the Bible. ■ We praise and glorify Shang-te as' the heavenly, holy Father; We praise and glorify Jesus as the Saviour of the world, the holy Lord; We praise and glorify the Holy Spirit as the Holy Intelligence; We praise and glorify the Three persons as the united true God; The true doctrines assuredly differ from worldly doctrines; ■ - , They save man's soul, and lead to hie enjoyment of happiness without end. . The wise joyfully receive them as a means ol hap ** The'foolish, when awakened, have by them the road to heaven opened. . The heavenly Father, in his vast goodness, great and without end, . ' ' Spared not his eldest Son, but sent him down into the world, . . . . ... Who gave up his life to redeem our iniquities; If men will repent and reform, their bouls will be enabled to ascend into heaven. Holland.—A crisis in the religious affairs of Hol land is drawing on. The evangelical element is at work, and has been at work, for the last twenty-five years, and is causing a fermejatation in the churches —especially those of the Reformed Dutch Church, wbioh may still be-called the National Church of that country- Great good must be the result, al though it will not be attained but through some confusion, and the occurrence, perhaps, of some se rious temporary evils. us yohth in the way of the *£**#%s* rial HifiiS n Slriggit :U '\ ' ; '-The North. • attempt has been made m Ohio,rwbich promises to be very successful;" to unite the two leading parties in the coming State election. A Democrat has been nominated for (Go vernor, and the other State officers have been, ap portioned between the Republicans and Democrats.- In New York the Peaee party Democrats, including Major Wood, have been refused admittance to the State Convention/ ' . Virginia and the Potomac. The Rebels Before Arlington -All attempts to take ana hold Washington must, include the posses sion of Arlington Heights, "which entirely command the city. Even -if the Potomac crossed, and a successful attack made on the north side, our own guns on the. height's could be turned upon the in* vaders, rendering the city untenable as a military position. Hence the concentration of rebel forces and the seizure of.every strategetical point in front of our works notin our possession. Munson's Hill, in the vicinity of Bailey’s Cross Roads, has been ,oct cupiea ; and covered with entrenchments by their forces. The rebel flag on their works Can be seen from the dome of the Capitol. Our pickets are within easy range of its guns, and must retire at the pleasure of the enemy, unless they are attacked in force and driven from their breastworks. Hence, there are constant rumors of an engagement flying through Washington, and repeated by correspondents of the northern papers, and, indeed, it seems likely that such an event tnny take place before these lines reach the press. On Wednesday, two rebel generals (supposed to lie Beauregard and Johnston) were seen on the summit of Munson’s Hill, taking observations of the federal works and Washington. : The rebels are building three minor intrenchments . on Munson’s Hill, connected with their main fort. All remains quiet along the Potomac. The rebels, however, are strengthening their position along the .mver by .the erection of batteries, being busy in the erection of :vuik()' .t Vhfl rirw.lr finnirpi lr ; Pj)i nt. They are also building a fortification a mile below Murray Mason’s, about five miles out on the Little River turnpike. In Western Virginia the movements of the op posing forces are few, and very closely connected.. General Rosene-ranz and his army reached Weston frojn Clarksburg, on Sabbath,'Sept. I/' ; The rebel troops cari readily be-seen drilling on Munson’s Hill. They have also erected:.earth works on a bill further south. New batteries are constant ly reported as rising at Acquia Creek. Balloon re connoissances before Washington are made almost daily. Army officers accompany the aeronaut, and very valuable knowledge is attained. Prince Gortschakoff has communicated through Baron de Stoeckl the profound sympathy of the Russian Government with our own in’ the present troubles, and their readiness to do anything to “calm the effervescence of the passions” and preserve the American Union. Mr. Seward has made a suitable reply. The Sonth. Jefferson Baris Hot Bead. —The report of Jeff. Davis’ death has come too soon for the event, the ru mor being generally discredited. His pestilent name sake, the privateer, has closed her career, for, accord ing'to the Richmond Enquirer, that vessel is a wreck oil the coast of Florida.. \'" : North Carolina.— : The condition of this State has now become exceedingly interesting. What truth there may be in the following,,(which we find occu pying a place among news items regarded as reliable) we know not. We give it to our readers as we find it:— ! ■ , • .Reaction in North Carolina.— -Respectable gen tlemen, who have arrived from -North Carolina by a circuitous route, say the Union prospects in that Sate are of the most encouraging character. The acting governor is a reliable Union man. Secret leagues of loyalty exist in every county, and are ra pidly increasing in strength, already numbering one half of the young population. A Provisional State Government will be put in operation in a few,months. Two full brigades of loyal men have been enrolled. The “league” have made extended arrangements for electing a member of Congress from every district. Pour were known to have been elected on the 21st of August. The latest news is that the entire eight are elected, each having received a large vote. They are among the best men in the State, who will insist upon a vi gorous prosecution of the war. Their certificates of election will hear the signature of the Governor, and the broad seal of the State. Since the engagement at Hatterrs Inlet, the North Carolina troops have been withdrawn from Virginia. those who entered the service for the short term, re fuse to continue in the Confederate employment. Rafugees.from North Carolina report that the lower conn ties of the State are ready to hoist the Union flag, when assured of support. A perfect reign of terror exists, The State troops were in part return ing from Virginia. Kentucky. —The Legislature of this State, con taining a very decided majority pf Union men, elected immediately after, and in spite of, the disas ter at Bull’Run, convened on the 2d of September. Governor Magoffin’s Message is for a neutral policy, with“a strong partisan leaning’to the South.* After recalling fheuaet that be refused to obey the Presi dent’s requisition for troops in April, he cites .the subsequent , acts of the Administration, and says lig cannot give them any sort of sanction. He protests against the'further prosecution of the war, against Kentucky being made a camping ground or path way for the movement of forces by either belligerents, and'recommends the General Assembly to pass reso lutions requiring both belligerents to keep off the soil and respect Kentucky’s neutrality. He con cludes as follows: “My respect for State rights and State sovereignty will make me bow in respectful submission to the majority of her people so long as I am a citizen of Kentucky.” Cairo, Sept. sth.—General Grant, this motoring, telegraphed to the Kentucky Legislature that the rebel forces, in considerable numbers, had invaded Kentucky, and were occupying and fortifying strong positions at Hickman ana Chalk’Bluffs. Affairs in Kentucky are now so much involved, that neutrality can no longer be maintained. The rebels having initiated actual hostilities by seizing Hickman and Columbus, Gen. Grant has retorted by seizing Paducah with a body of loyal. Kentucky troops. These towns are on the Mississippi river. The loyalists of Paducah have torn down the rebel flags hitherto floating over the place. Effects of the Blockade.— Mr. Bunce, the British Consul of Charleston, writes to his friends in Wash ington, that the effect of the blockade is felt with in creased severity every week. The 'Southern people are bitterly lamenting their destitute condition, from • the hardships of which Mr. Bunce himself is not al together free. He apprehends that if the blockade is not speedily raised, there will be no decent clothing in Charleston this winter. Common cotton dock is now the only available material. Mr. Bunce is also uneasy about his salary, whieh is interrupted by the blockade, and alludes to himself as befog in the po sition of a “reduced consul.” Items, —The Commodore, Samuel Barron, taken prisoner at Hatteras Inlet, is said to be. a. son of Jas.

Miscellaneous. —From a couple of columns of ex tracts from Southern papers, in the World of Mon day, we gather the following items: We conceive the strategical line from which to make a successful development of military force against the South, is that which will run from Cum berland Gap to Chattanooga, Tenn., and its occu pancy by a force unassailable froth its strength, is the prime object of the Federal Government. With that line in possession, the Federal hope is that Bast Tennessee will revolt against the State Government and the Confederate States. At present the Lincoln Government is on the de fensive. It experiences great trouble in raising troops. The money is more easily raised than the troops. The relation of the two bejiigerantß is now completely reversed. Every hank, every town and village corporation, ■ even the State itself (Virginia) and private bankers, are deluging the State with wretched currency, in notes from five cents to one dollar. Gold and silver are eagerly bought at eight per cent, premium for these notes, and carefully boarded away. In Richmond, or rather in the camps around it, fifty per cent, of the troops have been stricken down with the measles; Private hospitals for the recep tion and better treatment of the invalids have been opened from day to day, uj every sqrare of the, city,-h» the ladies are worn-oat in tj ferers.

Additional troops fe-emstantly arriving from lowa, Illinois,.

Prentiss, who was reported as having marched from Ironton with 5000 two weeks ago: “Gen. Prentiss has capture!! .a at Bloomfield, in Stoddard cojunty, with 850 prison ers, without theloss of a mad, and without firing a gun. ' “ He moved from Ironton several days ago, with a force' of about 5000 men; moving Southward. At Greenville be found only about forty or fifty of the enemy (whom he took prisoners,) but learned that there was a force of 850 Confederates encamped at Bloomfield, in Stoddard county, about twenty-five miles above the Arkansas line. “He instantly marched to that place, surrounded it on Friday night, and surprised the enemy with a sudden demand for a surrender.: Resistance was useless, and the whole,camp surrendered without firing a.shot. The prisoners are chiefly Missourians, but some are;from Arkansas.* We ,do not know the officers who commanded them.. " ” “Gen.

Pacts and Options. Pressing for a Recognition— The Liverpool Journal states that “the delegates for the Southern Confederation . are again; renewing their, pressing claims for the recognition bj the British Cabinet''of the new Confederacy. ButXi.tliuMs) much‘more .has r ‘ '■Jr* the revolted States will,h,ave earned a right to be.re-: cognised as a distinct nationality.

Although this question bf ' the re cognition Of the Confederacy is stirrin'g again this week,-it does not create in London the. slightest sen sation.” Private Mviees from England.— The U. S. Ornette of Saturdaysays:''- - ' That a large and very ihflnential portion of the English people entertain just iind enlightened senti ments towards this country, is not to be doubted. We are. strengthened in this opinion by the following extract from a letter just received by a manufacturing bouse in this city, from a Highly xespecfiible firm at Fenton, in Stafford, England: ■‘We have no knowledge of any interference on the - part of oiir government, in the pending dispute. On the contrary, official-warning. has been given to all British subjects,to abstain from it. .Individuals and sections of our people course, have their particular bias; it cannot bedtlierysise.. But we are at a loss to conceive how thenatum that! voluntarily paid twenty millions sterling* to free their own slaves, ean have any sympathy'with a- go vernment,; whose ostensible object is to-perpetuate a stain which they were willing to obliterate by so costly a sacrifice in money, and. a sweeping depreci ation of property in estates, to bpofc, ; “The success of the Federal pause to the English people, one thinks;' must be universally desirable,' not only on the score of humanity, bnt commercially. At least it is so, as far as our observation goSs.” How to meet the Croaking'k of EbreigirJour nals.—The Boston Recorder makes excellent use of the well-known story, of. Wickliffe and the monks as follows: i - Now the true way for us to meet all. this may be copied from Wickliffe’s reply to |he monks. Wick liffe was-dangerously sick. . .His friends .despaired of his life—much more his fobs,,the monks. Accord-, ingly they, smarting under the blows which he bad giveri them, and desiring to salve their wound by a recantation procured from him, sent a deputation of monks /to visit him :in his; chamber. These; monks addressed him with all solemnity, about the death that was before him, and, exhorted .him, t,o ,repent, and to repair the injury which he had doue them. He heard them through in silence, «hd then asked bis nurse to bolster him up in his bed, and then re plied: “I shall not - die; but live, and be the confusion of your order.” And then-suiting the action to the word, he very soon recovered. that we should seek in any way the harm of our despairing-fiends over the -water. jjjjt thoir- nuloVet *despair should only. stWutate'tts'to a "higher purpose to maintain our and. falsify all prediotiops.; A merited rebuke is administered 1 to the London Times and papers of a similar character by the Eu ropean Times,of August 17,asfollows: “We are far removed from the scene, and however, much we may deplore the conflict, can took on while the game of war is played out without becoming heated partisans on one side or the other. But some of our contemporaries appear to exult at the reverse which the Northern States sustained at Bulk Run,' and the spirit of their comments cannot fail, to make a very unfavorable impression on. the other side Of the Atlantic. Charges of cowardice against the men, and want of gallantry against the officers, are as plentiful as blackberries in autumn, and, to make the draught still more bitter, we are reminded of the inherent vices of democracy and of the usually va poring character of the Americans. Such charges, at such a moment, exhibit, we cannot help saying, singular bad taste.' It is nofe the conduct which the Americans pursued to us in our days of adversity and, that we have had to struggle against misfor tunes, it would be useless to deny. When Ireland was stricken with famino, America, in the spirit of the good Samaritan, rushed to her assistance in a way that ought not to be forgotten. When it was believed, in the early days of the Second Empire, that Louis Napoleon had inimical designs against ns, a load and almost simultaneous cry of aid came from the western shores of the Atlantic. But, apart from these considerations, there are no people in the world to whom we are united by so many and such elose ties— do people on the earth in whose material pros perity we are more interested, and with whom we do a greater amount of reciprocal trade. .When Par liament was sitting, its good taste refrained from all allusiou to a subject which can hardly be handled without giving oßence; but, now that Parliament is adjourned, too many of our public writers and public speakers cannot refrain from giving expression— often in a very coarse and offensive way—to what they think of the working of American Institutions, and the vast superiority of a Limited Monarchy to an absolute President. The contrast is. the more ref markable because, of recent years, the tone of the English press toward America has Jb.een 'respectful and friendly—ah example whlch has' be’dh set by the tfli itil every street, almost its long sick list, and ieir attentions to the suf rill mention that out of :igade, onlytwenty-three n the 50th inst... t Pensaeola attempted to •econtly, but were fired to abandon the effort, that, there are two thou ijmond.

These andali other public questions will hear a good deal of discussion at the proper time—but it is not friendly, nor neigh borly, nor just, to open a broadside of invective against these and similar features in a republican form of government when thatgovernmentiSeDgaged in fighting for its own preservation.” Latest—Tuesday.— The Chicago Journal learns from a private source worthy of credence that- Gene ral McClellan, upon last Tuesday morning, Septem ber Sd, had fifty-six batteries of artillery; of six guns each, of various calibre, and about one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) men at and.near Washing ton, and that this army will be increased to at least two hundred thousand men before the end of the pre sent week. 1 , A powerful naval expedition is said to be fitting out at New Fork—destination- unknown.

EOREIGJT SUMMARY. From Italy we learn that two men, supposed to he assassins,,-attempted to enter Garibaldi’s houße at night. They were pursued by three dragoons, one of them .was wounded by a shot, as traces of foutid. A boat had been seen to leave the Island,_srra--on^g aTorg W e re being made to disco ver its destination. 'iVWVexeiterrient was caused in toe island of Caprera by the cCcm. From India the advices are to July 2?thv J^ain had fallen abundantly throughout India. The pros pects, as regards the fruitfulness of the country, were of the brightest and most cheering character. Cho lera was ravaging the famine districts. The present Hungarian movement is headed by a certain M. Deak, whose appearance in this position is, by moderate and prudent -friends of liberty on the continent, regarded as one of the most important events of the day. A Presburg correspondent of tbe Pbesre says that henceforth he may be regarded as the Cavour of Hungary. This correspondent, after desciibing a certain resemblance between these'two statesmen, not only morally—but physically, says, that, barring accidents at present unforeseen, the line of the Hungarian revolution is now plainly defined. The policy which will be observed will be one of measured prudence, butfunflinehing decision. One of the most salieDt points in the character of Francis Deak is his strong sense of justice; indeed, lie is popularly termed “ The Just,” aswas, in olden time, Aristides.. : At the sitting of the Diet in Pesth, August 21st, the Lower House’passed,, by acclamation, a motion proposed by M. Deak, calling upon the House, in case of the dissolution of the Diet, to enter an ener getic protest against the violation of the constitution and the arbitrary acts committed by the government; and on the next day the upper house concurred in this vote. . . A collision between the military and civilians took place at Arrad, on the evening bf St-. Stephen’s Day, on account of national airs having been sung by the' populace." Two of the people were wounded on the occasion. V' . " , - ! ' • INOTICES.
