OUR OWN CHURCH.
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."
Rev. Henry Eowler, of Auburn, we regret to see

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

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,

Ellsworth’s Early <&araoter and Training.--
The following faota in regard to the lamented Ells
worth were brought out at a Convention of Sabbath
school .Teachers, which recently .met in. the .State.of
New York:
Ellsworth was a scholar in the Sabbath-school. 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.

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.

: 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.
Barron, who killed Decatur Iri a duel, and a grand

ary war.—Business is reviving iff NewTork, and,
to some extent, in Philadelphia.—Large amounts
are being subscribed daily to the new Government
loan.
All secession emblems in Baltimore have been sup
pressed, by order of the government.—Subscriptions
to the great patriotic loan go on bravely.—Travel
between the North and South has at length been
completely stopped, and no more passes will be
granted.—Troops are arriving at Washington as fast,
as. they can be armed,; —General Butler has refused
to run os a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts,
against Governor Andrew, the present Republican
incumbent.—The New York Daily News still pursues
its obnoxious and disloyal course, and is seized
wherever found going abroad by the police officers,
though the office and the editor remain undisturbed.
—Thirty thousand Minnie Rifles have been sent from
San Francisco to Aspinwall, en route esatward.
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,

date of August 29th, writes art follows:—i
“.You are doubtless aware pjf the vast preparations
which are being made here tpj equip and organize a
vast army, which shall, this’tall, move down upon

Capture of a Rebel Camp!— The St. Louis News
thus speaks of the results of .(in expedition made by
Gen. Prentiss, who was reported as having marched
from Ironton with 5000 two weeks ago:
“Gen. Prentiss has capture!! .a

“ 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.. " ”

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. In the recent case
of the kingdom of Italy, the expelled sovereign of
Naples did hot hold, one foot of Italian soil when .the
British Cabinet ackhovyledgfeil the completion of the
new government. 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

each, of various calibre, and about one hundred and

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' . " , - ! ' •
