New Ediftoe.—The Presbyterian congregation in piS Jefferson county, N. Y., having for nearly thirty years worshipped in an inconvenient house, Lid in common by all denominations, recently took murage and successfully carried through the work of meting a commodious and handsome building, •■whieh ” says the Evangelist, "for convenience, taste, fieimnce, and completeness of finish In every part, is not excelled in Northern New York. The building is of the Gothic order of architecture. -i hy 34 feet •, audience room 54 by 34. Session room, ’’4 by 18 feet. The windows are of stained glass, and the whole inside is beautifully frescoed.” It was dedicated last month. Rev. George B. Newcomb has received and ac cepted a call from the Congregational Church and Society at Bloomfield, Ct. Rev. Samuel Whaley was igtalled pastor of the Presbyterian congregation at Providence, Pa., on the 28th ult. Sermon by Rev. C. S. Dunning, of Ilunesdale. Presbytery of Franklin, 0., on Home Missions. It mowed, That the Home Missionary work of Pres bytery henceforth be transacted through the " Pres byterian Committee of Home Missions,” appointed bv the last General Assembly—our Presbyterial Com mittee being continued, and the work being done so fur as practicable in the manner prescribed by Pres lijtery. Rev. H. A. Tracy.—At nn adjourned meeting of Cincinnati Presbytery, on the 29th ult., Rev. H. A, Tracy waa dismissed to oonnecfc himself with Cinoin rati Presbytery (O. 5.,) with the view to acoeptbg a call from the Presbyterian Churoh of Glendale. Dr. Thompson, of Cincinnati and Gen. M'Clel land. —it is a matter of the highest importance and Mtisi'action at this time, to know that our leading my officer is a true man of God —it is cheering to mb country, and its influence will be wide-spread snd happy. We consider it, therefore, a kind provi dence that the interview between the General and his pastor, Rev. Dr, Thompson, of Cincinnati, has gained publicity. Nevertheless it is due to Dr. Thompson in say, that he simply divulged it to a circle of brother ministers in Cincinnati—doubtless with the confident reliance on the good sense of all present, that no-use, inconsistent with Its character, as a private commu nication, would be made of it. Some unknown per son in the eompany, without the Dr’s, consent, has tened to lay it before the public as we have all seen. So says a correspondent of the Western Episcopalian. Chaplains. — Rev.

Union of Presbyterians in New Brunswick Deferred. —ln the province of New Brunswick, a >'muent has been for some time in progress for a inun of the two Synods representing the Free and E-'iiltlished Scottish Churches. We are sorry to ■ tv that at the last meeting of the Synod of the i-riblished Church, which took place at Frederick 's. August 10th, the subject was acted upon in a pinner tantamount to an Indefinite postponement, i he subject was brought up by letters and documents (rum Uev, Wm. Eider, oonvener of a Committee on IJnion appointed by the Synod of the Free Church in New Brunswick, and from a Committee of like cha racter in the Presbyterian Church of the lower pro vinces, recently formed by a union of the Synods. ' pan the reading of these papers every member of hie Synod was oalled upon to express his opinions, beginning with the youngest. The unanimous opi nion was, that the time was not opportune for the movement. Dr. Donald, who seems to have taken a prominent part, and who made the concluding speech, -aid, among other things: “ The word union seemed 'plmve a charm for some ears. Many seemed to blink by virtue of the word all were bound to listen 1 1 it; that all would be well if only a union were ef bcted. But union in name only was, he believed, ■nod for nothing. Two horses of different breed light he harnessed together to a vehicle, but if one s' them would trot while the other galloped, or both lulled different ways, then ‘union’ would not result a comfort to themselves and to him who drove them ; ” when a man and woman of incompatible tempers 'are joined together in marriage, surely their hap iiiess was not promoted by ‘union;’ and it was bis pinion if the two bodies were united in name at iic present time, before many years went over they '’mild be separated again.” , The chief objection seams to have been, that the limbers of the Synod being now connected with the '■‘tablished Ohuroh of Scotland,'could not enter into °<:h a union without imperilling, or actually losing niolnn they enjoyed ns such. One member, Rev. m. Murray, who expressed himself ns willing to ;, k this loss, was rather rebuked by Dr. Donald, T !« declared himself unwilling to relinquish this tflvilege on any conditions. The Synod voted finally b'st the Clerk should acknowledge the receipt of the a laments referred to, and intimate, at the same ' “'i') that the subject had boen carefully and at great ;(' n Bth considered by all the members of this Synod; Sl ‘t all most earnestly desired to manifest and oulti- ; Uo the most friendly and Christian intercourse with Synods of the other Presbyterian Churches, in ; |ftiiorance of the great object, contemplated in the ■'innmnications received, until an opportunity for a ‘UisfiietoTy and permanent union should, in the good t'foyidenoe of God, be presented. i he editor of the Provincial Presbyterian, published ‘t St. John, N. 8., expresses himself as greatly disap pnntod with the action. Referring to the deelura !l pn made in Synod in regard to the attitude of the Church of Scotland towards such of her Jpuls in the colonies as had already formed suoh ‘‘wons, ha says: " Su f:m f r „ m treating the united ohuroh of Victoria : a ‘castaway,’ the General Assembly declared offi ...

This Is an excellent selection. ‘ l '" lllu >“> in all respeots, admirably qualified for the important position which Christian patriotism has induced him to accept.—Standard. Miscellaneous. The National East. —We are luippv to know that the Executive Committee of the American Tract Society, Boston, at their monthly meeting, September 4th, passed the following resolution. The tract will be issued in a few days: “In view of the approaching National Fast, and the necessity of due preparation on the part of all God’s people, this committee deem it desirable that an earnest appeal be mode to the churches of the loyal States to enter upon the services of that day with a due awakened sense of the importance and solemnity of the occasion. “ Therefore voted, that Dr. W ayland, of Providence, be requested to write such an appeal, and that the Publication Committee be hereby instructed to pub lish and circulate the same." Rev. Mr. Hook, a Roman Catholic priest, was lately received by the Protestant Episcopal Church, in Missouri, without re-ordination, thus acknow ledging the Roman Catholic Church as a Church of Christ, The Bible not Contraband.— "lt affords us plea sure to say that the notice in a recent number from an exchange paper, implying that Bibles cannot be sent to seceding States, is a mistake. The Bible is not contraband* The managers of the Aumrican Bible Society, at their last meeting, made an appro priation of Testaments for soldiers of the Confederate Army." . We believe the above appeared in the last number issued of the ill-fated Christian Observer., Such an act on the part of the Bible Society, if it was ever done, ja certainly capable of a most damaging con struction as to the soundness of the body: we do not see how it can bear any other. Loyalty of Evangelical Episcopalians. —lt cannot have escaped the eyes of observing'Church men, that the only three Northern Dioceses that have boldly taken the stand in Convention (thus far) in favor of the Government, are Massachusetts, Ohio and lowa— the only decided and pronounced Low Church Dioceses in the Worth. Pennsylvania (half and half;) New Jersey (high;) Indiana (do.;) Wisconsin do.J Michiga,n (do.;) New Hampshire (do.;) have ignored the whole subject. The Bishops who have most man fully .met the question, and who have stood up for the right without a single crook in the back, are the leading Low Church (or, as they would rather be styled, evangelical) Bishops. Most of our Northern Bishops have indeed fully declared themselves for the Government and the Constitution in some way or another; but it has been left to the Bishops of Massachusetts, Ohio, and lowa, to ask their clergy and laity, in Convention assembled, to hoist the na tional flag over the Church; and rally around it, and pray for it, and bless it. So. with our Church press, as a general rule. The most outspoken and decided are the organs of the Low Church , party. —Chicago Record. " Metropolitan Churches.”—A writer in a South ern paper states that the effort of the Southern Me thodists to build a great church in Washington is abandoned. The effurt of our (Northern M.E.) Church has not succeeded much better. Those passing hy the spot say, “ These men began to build, but were not able to finish.”— Zion’s Hefttld. Rev. Dr. Bethnne. —Rev. Dr. Bethuue is about to retire from his pastoral charge in the church in 71st street. He intends to go to Italy, where it is proba ble he may make his future home.— Phila. Inquirer. Religion in Missouri.—Theßaptists in Missouri, the largest denomination, are about unanimous in favor of. secession; the M. E. Church, South, the same, with but few exceptions; the Presbyterians, the third in numbers, are about equally divided; the M. E, Churoh, (North,) the fourth in size, are una nimous and earnest in favor of the Union. Half of their membership and one third of their ministers are driven from the State. Bey. Henry Badge, a Congregational clergyman, of Lewis co., N. Y., has recently been tried and tri umphantly cleared upon charge of the murder of his own wife. She had been insane, and was recently found dead with’ her throat out, undoubtedly the work of her own hand. A feud in the community, relating to the use of the house of worship by two rival ecclesiastical organizations, seems to have prompted the prosecution. ... A, very grievous offence has surely been committed in this attempt to attach so foul and unnatural a stigma to the name of a ser vant of Christ, "The Southern Lutheran.” —The first number of this paper was issued August 3, 1861, in Charles ton, S. C., by a committee of Lutheran ministers of the South Carolina Sy nod, with Dr: Bachman, LL. D., at their bead. Evangelical, Alliance.— The Fifth Conference of the Evangelical Alliance was in session during the week before last, in the city of Geneva, Switzerland. This city has great historic interest for all Protest ants, and is now the home of many men known to evangelical Christians of every, creed and nation. We doubt not that the meeting will be one of great interest, and we hope, with the blessing of God, will be the means of advancing the interests of the king dom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. ARMY. The Fay of a Chaplain is that of a captain, $l5O per month; or, by the recent decision of the War Department, the pay of a cavalry captain; which is $6O, three rations a day, valued at thirty-three cents, $8 a month for a servant, if he really has one, which will cost tije chaplain $2O a month; forage valued at $8 a month, if he has a horse, which is about one half the keeping of the horse will cost. But the horse and trappings, which will cost from $250 to $3OO, the chaplain must furnish himself; hut if lost in the service, he will be paid for it by the Government, perhaps, at the end of the war. All else, including clothing, &e., he must buy himself. —Episcopal Recorder, We observe, in a notice of cash payments recently made to tbe chaplains of New York Regiments, that all were paid cash at the same rate of $96 per month. Another Brave Chaplain.— Rev. Mr. Parker, pastor of the South church, Concord, is the chaplain of a New Hampshire regiment. His conduct i 3 highly commendable. A correspondent says be shares all the hardships of the soldiers. He takes the boys affectionately by the hand with a hearty “How do you do?” He inquires into their personal wants, and makes himself their servant. He rides a beautiful horse, which is completely under his con trol. In the fight at Bull Run he took his regimental position, and all day long was a faithful attendant. He carried many a wounded soldier to the hospital on his horse, spoke words of comfort and cheer, and supplied the men in bis ranks with water when they were Buffering intolerable thirst. He has true pluck as well as patriotism. Conversing with him this morning, the remark was made-that it was a painful sight to see men killed; which elicited the instant reply, “But more painful to see them retreat!” A regiment with such a chaplain, if otherwise well offi cered, will be a tremendous power in the day of battle. Other Instances. —Chaplains of the right temper and talent can be of immense service to our troops, not only in the camp, but on the field of battle. In tbe recent engagement, more than one chaplain ren dered invaluable aid by the words of hearty cheer he gave to the weary men as they trudged along toward the bloody ground, and even after the gory strife had commenced. ‘‘ Stand boldly up to the work, my brave boys! ” said one popular chaplain, as the soldiers filed past him to form a line of bottle, “the cause is a good one to fight for and die for!” And the oheer for the chaplain which rang out from the ranks of the regiment, was barely drowned by the sharp rat tle of the musketry, as “ the boys ” opened fire. Some of these mecr illustrated the divinity of their sacred calling by rendering valuable service to the wounded, by assuaging their pains with accents of encourage ment, by .cooling their fevered lips with draughts of water, while they poured soothing words into the ears of the dying, and received from their lips the last tender messages to loved ones at home. Such are the duties of chaplains of tliq Federal Army. Those who cannot perform them, even on the crimson edges of the battle-field, ought not to go forth with our troops. — K. P. Tribune, Rev. Mr. Shumate, of Missouri, having been ap pointed to tbe chaplaincy of a Regiment, asked leave of absence for a few days, made a flying visit to In diana, and returned with two companies which he bod recruited for the Regiment. Gen. McClellan’s Order of Sabbath Obser vance. —The Christian Intelligencer thus speaks of one of the remoter, yet highly important efforts of this order on the army:— ” It probably did not occur to the General, (but we believe it to be true, nevertheless,) that among the far-reaching results of this general order, will be the more prompt enlistment of better soldiers than have generally entered tbe army. Perhaps the most se rious obstacle to enlistments has been the demoralized condition of the troops. Parents and friends have been reluctant to subject young men of goad moral character to the ordeal of camp-ljfe, bo long as that life was understood to be Sabbathless, and of course immoral. But, with a new and better regime, under such considerate and humane commanders as McClel lan, and with the discipline he has inaugurated, tian parents will give their sons for the army with some hope that they will not be ruined for time and eternity within their own encampments, whatever may be their peril from hostile bullets.” Rev. Joseph Stoekbridge, chaplain in the United States navy, uas been ordered to the Pacific squadron, to sail during the present month for Aspinwall and Panam'a, to join the flag-ship, Lancaster, § tfsigtiriflu Snd #uangjelijst- Sotos of i|c Struggle. The North. Acts Of Confiscation.— The United States .Mar shalls have been confiscating lately Northern pro perty owned, in part or. whole, by persons in the re bellious States. They have seized a large number of vessels lying at the wharves of New York and Philadelphia. They have also stopped the sale of the stocksi tiud bonds of the seceded States at the Brokers Board, New York, and have ordered that no.lurther dividends shall be paid to Southern bold ers of New York Central Railroad Stock, nor trans fers be made of stocks standing in Southern names. Presentment of New York Grand Jury of. Westchester County, New York, have violent the attention of the District Attorney to the prosecution of the editors and proprietors of the Yonkers Herald, the Highland Democrat , the Eastern State Journal, the Staats Zeitung, and National Zei tung, if, after the public notice given, they persist in continuing to give aid and comfort to the enemy. Death of Ex—Governor Briggs. —Ex-Govemor Briggs of Massachusetts, died on the 12th of Sep tember from the injuries received by the accidental discharge of a gun last week. Minors Not to be Discharged —An order has been recently issued by the Secretary of War not to discharge any more minors. Some of the best men m the ranks are now pleading minority. This step became absolutely necessary to retain a largfc num ber of fine soldiers. More Arrests. —Col. James W. Wall, of Burling ton, New Jersey, and G. L. Browne, of Cooperstown N. Y., have been arrested for treason. Their arrest caused some excitement, as both are influential and prominent men. . He Gave All.- —The will of the late General Lyon S' ves a,I J” B P r °pefty, worth some thirty thousand dollars, to the Government. Can we hear of another instance of this devotion to country which yields up life and bverything that makes it desirable to the support of our country and its institutions? Sword Presentation.— Captain Isaac Mcßride, of the office of the Receiver of Taxes, Philadelphia, was presented on Tuesday afternoon with a sword, sash and belt, of very exquisite workmanship. The donors were the clerks in the office, in which build ing the presentation took place. Captain Mcßride Held a comfortable situation, but having an irresisti ble desire to fathom the mysteries of masked batte ries, “be laid aside the pen to take up the sword.” The latter words are inscribed upon the scabbard of the beautiful weapon in which the Captain makes his appearance before the enemy. Mr. George Arm bruster made the presentation speech on the occa sion, and Captain Mcßride responded in person. The South. Pr v ankfort, Ky., September 14.—Gov. Magoffin has issued the following proclamation: ' “ In obedience to the subjoined resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the governments of the Confederate States, the State of Tennessee, and all others concerned, are hereby informed that Kentucky expects the Confede rate or Tennessee troops to be withdrawn from her soil unconditionally.” The Kentucky Legislature.— Frankfort, Sept. 11.—The House to-day adopted resolutions directing the Governor to issue a proclamation ordering the Confederate troops to evacuate Kentucky soil, by a vote of 71 yeas to 26 nays. The House refused to suspend the rules to allow the presentation of ano ther resolution ordering the proclamation to be is sued for the departure of the United States and Con federate troops. The resolution was a second time passed over the veto. A Loyal North Carolina Brigade.— Charles Henry. Foster, claiming to be the Federal Congress man elect from North Carolina, called on the Presi dent for the purpose of tendering the Government a full; brigade of loyalists from that State. Convalescence of Jefferson Davis. Louis ville, September 10th.—The Richmond Examiner , of the 9th, says: “ President Davis has so far reco vered from his recent severe illness as to be able to take an airing on Saturday, in his carriage.” Secession Speeches.-Burnett, the .member of Congress from Kentucky, is engaged in making se cession speeches in Kentucky. In a recent speech he regretted that the Federal army was not entirely destroyed at the battle of Bull Run, He was also violent in denouncing the German population of the country,'and said he would-be unwilling to live in the Southern Confederacy nolens foreigners were forever excluded. *Breekiqridge has also been en gaged in the same business. More Privateers. —Several new privateers are fitting out at Charleston. They consist of the Beau regard, Captain Sidlay, with forty men; the steamer South Carolina alias Bull Run, Captain Coxsetter, with eighty men; and a light ship moved from the Rattlesnake Shoals, with forty men. The Blockade of the Florida Coast— The Charleston Courier, of the sth instant, has the fol lowing : A passenger from East Florida, with whom we conversed yesterday, informed us that the whole coast of St. Augustine is blockaded, but that vessels manage to elude tbe vigilance of the blockadors. He reports a vessel laden with coffee and fruit having run the blockade on the 29th ultimo, under a heavy fire of shot and shell from the fleet. Virginia and the Potomac. Matters continue as they were in the neighbor hood of Washington and along the line of the Poto mac. Picket.firing and small skirmishes are about the only warlike operations of which we hear. Both armies are gradually strengthening'their respective positions and preparing themselves in various ways for the terrible battle which must, ere long, be fought. I General MeClellan is proving himself worthy of the responsible position be occupies. His vigilance is ceaseless, and'his labors untiring. He has effected an.entire change in the condition of things around Washington. And, when tbe time for attack comes, will doubtless be fully prepared fb strike an effective blow. A Skirmish Near Chain Bridge.— On Wednes day, Sept, llth, a reconnoitBring party, under the command of Colonel Stevens, of the 79th Regiment, (New York,) which had advanced as far as Lewins ville, seven miles from the Chain Bridge, was attacked on their return by a large force of the Confederates, consisting of infantry and cavalry, with a battery of four pieces. The rebels attempted to out our troops off by getting in their rear. An engagement en sued, in which several rounds were fired. The loss on our side was 6 killed, 7 wounded, and 3 missing Our troops, after silencing the Confederate Battery, retired in good order to their camp at tbe Chain Bridge. • Speech of General McClellan— The President and other dignitaries, in company with General' Mc- Clellan, visited the fortifications on the Virginia side of the Potomac on Tuesday afternoon, September 10. The workmen turned out en masse to receive them", and gave them nine hearty cheers. General McClellan, being called on, made the fol lowing speech: Soldiers: We have had our last retreat, We have seen our last defeat. You stand by me, and I will stand by you, and henceforth victory will crown our efforts. Another Victory in Western Virginia-Gen. Kosencranz, Sept, llth, attacked and defeated Gen Floyd’s division of the rebel army near Summers ville. The fighting was severe. General Floyd fled in the night, leaving his camp to the possession of the United States troops. Our loss will probably amount to twenty killed and One hundred wounded. That of the rebels considerably more. Rebels on Munson’s Hill— About 4,000 rebel troops are mpposed to be ou and around this Hill. The fortifications at that point appear now to be completed. A masked battery has recently been discovered, concealed by a grove near Bailey’S House, about a hundred yards this side of the earth works. , The Principal Localities about Washington. —Munson’s Hill is about three and a half miles, in a straight line, from Fort Corcoran and Arlington House. & The Cham Bridge is about five miles north-west of Washington, and the Virginia shore of. the Poto mac there is hilly, forming a kind of rocky bluff down to Washington, and for a distance above the bridge. The hills can be easily held by good troops against an approaching enemy. The same is true all the way down to and below Arlington. The ground is high, and the chain of hills form a natural line of defence. Arlington Heights ‘are directly opposite George town, nearly two miles back from the Potomac./ Roach’s Spring is about two miles distant, south/ west of the Long Bridge, a little off from the road ib Fairfax Coart House. j Missouri and the West. j How the Rebels will Treat our Wounded— Advices from St. Louis, September llth, Bay tbit the rebels intend to hold our wounded as hostages/or the safety of the secessionists now held by the Federal authorities. f Dr. Franklin, Surgeon of Lyon’s Brigade/recently from Springfield, was told that for every ifebel shot or hung under Fremont’s recent proclamation, one of our wounded .soldiers would be shot. ) ■ The Proposed Expedition.

The marked, and ever extending, popularity of SINGFR’S SEWING MACHINES, both in America and Europe, is such as best to establish their superiority over all others in the market. Sewing machines (so caHed) may be bought, it is true, for a smaller amount of dollars, but it is mistaken economy to invest anything in a worthless or unreliable article, and those who do so must abide the consequence! SINGER’S NEW FAMILY MACHINES, In order to place THE BEST FAMILY MACHINES IN THE WORLD within the reach of all, we have re duced our Letter A, or Transverse Shuttle Machines, beautifully ornamented, to $5O. Singer’s No. 1, and 2, Standard Shuttle Machines, both of very general application and capacity, and popular both in the family and the manufactory. Prices reduced, respectively, from $135 to $9O and $lOO. Singer’s No. 3 Standard Shuttle Machine, for Carriage Makers and heavy Jeather work. Price complete, $125. Also, to complete the list, an entirely new article, unequalled for manufacturing purposes, noiseless, rapid, and capable of every kind of work! Price (including iron stand and drawers,).sllo, cheaper at that, in view of its value, than the machines of any other maker as a gift. All of Singer’s Machines make the interlock stitch with two threads, which is the best stitch known. Every person desiring to procure full and reliable in formation about Sewing Machines, their sizes, prices, working capacities, and the best methods of purchasing, can obtain it by sending for a copy of 1.
