OUB, OWN CHURCH.
Chaplains.— Our ministry are fully up to their
store in the arduous work of the ohaplainoy. Rev. O.
X Benton, of Apnlacbin, N. Y., has resigned his pas
toral charge In that place, to take the chaplaincy
,if the Sheppard Rifles. Rev. Wm, Hart, a lata gra
duate of Auburn Seminary, has taken the place of
He?. Henry Fowler, recently returned from the 19th
(Cayuga) Regiment of Jf. Y. Mr. Hart had just
Entered the field and was vigorously recruiting for
the new Regiment, but by the advice of numerous
friends he has concluded to accept the position of
chaplain In the old regiment. John Baton, Jr,,
Clmplain of the 27th O. Regiment, was ordained to
the gospet ministry, on Thursday, Sept. sth, by the
Maumee Presbytery.
A correspondent of the Evangelist says that Mon
trose Presbytery Is about to meet in Montrose (has
done so by this time) to ordain to the gospel minis
try Mr. Samuel Jessup, now a licentiate under our
care. Mr. Jessup is under appointment as Chaplain
of a Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers in the
l nited States army.
Auburn Seminary.— We are gratified to learn
that this honored school of the prophets has received
an accession of thirty-three new students, and that
the whole number in attendance is sixty-six. Let
the churches that have been so richly benefited by
this Seminary now oome forward liberally with the
funds requisite to support such students as require
assistance. It is truly enoouraging to see that pious
votmg men are not diverted from the Gospel ministry
i,y the excitements which surround \.hvm.—Eounge- l

Mr. E. Folsom. —This gentleman, a member of
IK. Patterson’s Churoh in Chicago, is now engaged
in evangelical labors in Cairo, at which important
pitit we have a church, but no minister. A corre
-.y.jident of the Evangelist, L, P. C., after stating
timt be found but one chaplain in Cairo, thus writes
t: Mr. Folsom's labors! _ j
It was my good fortune, however, to fall in with
Mr. E. Folsom, who is doing a noble work among the
midisrs, and for the city of Cairo. He is indefati
gable in his labors. With basket in hand, filled
with papers and tracts, he goes from tent to tent,
frum regiment to regiment, distributing as he goes.
Mr. Folsom has the respect, confidence and esteem,
M all classes. It is to be hoped that he will be sus
tained in his labors. Persons having reading mat
ter to be distributed among the soldiers, cannot do
better than to send it to him.
1 preached twice on the Sabbath in the Presbyte
rian church, which Is at present without a pastor.
The congregation was composed principally of sol
diers, who, in behaviour and attention, were* most
respectful. I attended Sabbath sohool twice, and
taught two Bible classes composed entirely of sol
ders, among whom I found some finely educated
minds. Mr. Folsom, though a layman, hasa kind

in: S St. Louis, has beeu enjoying a revival of the
lr ri of the Lord. A correspondent of the Herald.
<• "lßecorder, under date of September 7th, says:
lour readers may be interested in learning that
wring the last three or four months a quiet, but in
teresting work of grace has been going on in the
congregation at this place, resulting in the hopeful
conversion of about twenty, of whom ten were re
ceived in to the ohuroh last Sabbath on the profession
J their faith. About forty different individuals

week at the pastor’s house.
OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE
RIAN CHURCH.
Presbytery of Liberia.-The Rev. E, W, Blyden,
Munrovia, represented the Presbytery of Liberia at
ihe reoent Synod of Edinburgh. He was received
with marked attention, and his address to the Synod
?sve much satisfaction. Mr. Blyden is the principal
« the Alexander High School in Monrovia.
Feneing the Lord’s Table.— ln the office of pur
l urch for the Lord’s Supper, among the persons
’imed from the table, are “ all those who are given
raise discord, sects, and mutiny, in Church or

* mutiny and discord in the State. Do not any

MISCELLANEOUS.
Biblical Revision. —This matter is still occupy*
ing the attention of Biblical scholars in England.
Four clergymen there, Messrs. Alford, Maberly,
Humphrey, and Ellicott, erenow engaged in revising
the New Testament. The Independent says that
their revision is based throughout upon the author
ised version, which is printed upon the left hand
of every page, and the revised version in parallel
columns. Thus one can see at a glance the changes
made. The authorized version being made the basis
of this critical revision, we are annoyed with none of
the fantasies of scholarship in a new translation.
For example, in John ii. 17 we read, The zeal for
thine house shall eat me np: [auth., “ hath eaten ;”]
vi. 18, The sea was rising: [auth., *«the sea arose ;'’j
v. 24, They entered into the ships: [auth., “took
shipping;”] x. 16, There shall be one flock, one
shepherd. Their work everywhere bears the impress
of good scholarship and refined taste. It i 8 qaite
likely that where societies and conventions have
failed, these associated scholars will succeed in giving
us a revision of the Bible which will be adopted by
general consent.
We are doubtful of this. We do not believe the
Christian Chnroh needs or desires a revised Bible in
place of the present time-honored translation, which,
with all its defects, has got too strong a hold in the
affections of its members to be readily cast aside for
the production of any four scholars however learned
and refined.
Christians Holding Public Offices in Tur
key.—Two Christians have just been placed at the
head of important service at Constantinople., One
of them, Franco Poassa Effendi, has been appointed
director of the telegraphs. The other, Palatis Mnsn
rus, brother to the Ottoman Embassador at London,
has been named to oDe of the highest posts in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Those two appoint
ments are looked on as undeniable symptoms of the
new Sultan’s favorable feelings toward his Christian
subjects.
A Sabbath School in Prison.— ln the Mary
land Penitentiary there is a school for the convicts
containing 292 soholars tanght by 32 teachers. It
has been in successful operation for two years, and
its fruits have been most encouraging. The Sabbath
School Times says:—“lts two years’ history has
clearly shown that the Sabbath School is fitted to
bless, not only little children, but adults, and adults
too, whose hearts we are accustomed to regard as
hardened by crime against good impressions, and as
callous to the softening and purifying influences of
the gospel.”
Respect for the Sabbath— lt is said that Mr.
Dayton, our minister to France, recently declined an
invitation of the Persian ambassador, to attend a
festival in honor qf the .Shah’s birth-day, because
the celebration took place on the Sabbath.
Persecution of Methodists in Germany— ln
Wustenroth several Wesleyan Methodists bave been
fined, and their minister imprisoned, for violating an
old law which forbids evening meetings, or any meet
ings for prayer, singing, and reading the Word of
God, without the license of the resident clergyman.
By formal secession from the national church, the
Methodists can escape this trouble. Two delinquents
not far from Wurtembupg were, cast into prison.
When they were alone, line said to the other, “Now,
ray good fellow, tell me what bas brought you here?”
“Willingly," replied the other; “I love the Word of
God and prayer, and have been sent here because in
a private bouse I engaged in social prayer with a
few friends.” “So," returned the first,; “ that is odd.
lam here because I cursed and swore. One is at a
loss whac to do nowadays. If ' one curses, as I have
done, one is put in prison; and if one prays, like
you, there is nothing for us bat limbo."-— -Zion’s
Herald.
The Rev. C. A. Richards, M.D., of Great Bar
rington, Mass., has been called to the Episcopal
Church of Our Saviour, West Philadelphia, of which
the Rev. Henry A. Wise,, Jr., was formerly Rector.
Successor to Dr. Raffles, Liverpool— Rev.
Enoch Melior,'M.A-> of Halifax, has accepted the
unanimous invitation of the church at Great George
street, to become the successor of Dr. Raffles in the
pastorate.
Changes in Baptist Churches- —Rev. Wm. 0.
Duncan, D. D., late pastor of the Coliseum Place
Baptist Church, New Orleans, has been obliged to
come North, because he would not sell himself to
the C. S. A., and Rev. J. 11. Cuthbert, formerly of the
First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, has. been called
to fill bis place. Rev. Dr. Howard, formerly pastor
of the Second Baptist Church, at Rochester, N. Y.
State, but more recently and not very reputably of
Chicago, is a fierce secession Chaplain; having be
come suddenly converted to rebel falsehood since his
hasty departure from Chicago to New Orleans, after
a real secession.repudiation of his deists.
Congregationalism in Connecticut.— The Con
gregatiunalists are quite numerous and prosperous
in Connecticut. According to the Minutes of the
General Association of that State, there are 15 As
sociations, numbering 542 ministerial members, of
which 298 are resident in the State. There are also
43 Licentiates. There are 283 churches, of which
224 are consoeiated, 59 non-consocinted, 19 are va
cant, 81 have stated supplies, and 183 have pastors.
The total amount of salaries paid is $228,105. The
highest associationai average of salary is $1,240; the
lowest $5Bl. The average salary through the whole
State is $Bl2, which we think exceeds any other New
England State. The churches have a total of 46,262
members, of whom 4,761 are reported ohsent. 571
were added by profession last year, and 793 died
during the year. 794 infants were baptized. The
total average attendance in Sabbath Schools is 26,748.
There are 89 mission schools. 26,865 families are
reported as connected with tho congregations. The
total amount of charitable contributions is set down
at 138,960.03. The highest average ratio of contri
butions to each church member is $7.09 in Hartford
Fourth; the lowest, $1.26, in Middlesex and Wind
ham Associations.
ARMY
God in the Army.—A speaker in the Chicago
Daily Prayer Meeting, referring to the religioufc
movement in the army, recently said:—“God some
times makes use of wars to promote his cause. It
was so in the Crimean war. Bibles and Tracts were
circulated in great numbers and read eagerly. The
attention of many was awakened, and in some cases,
conversions occurred among men working on the
trenches up to their knees in water. So it has been
in onr own army. Much religious reading has been
circulated. Many prayer meetings have been held
in the various camps, and many conversions have
taken place.” At one of these prayer meetings, held
in the camp of the Yates Phalanx, near Chicago,
some 50 or 100 soldiers were gathered on the grass
near the tents. After religious exercises and short
addresses, several of the soldiers signified their wish
to be prayed for as desiring to become Christians.
These were followed by others, until the whole com
pany had thus sought an interest in the petitions of
the praying men present. Many, a fountain of tears
was opened, and some sobbed audibly in view of their
sins and need of Christ.
A Religions Company.— Rev. D.C. Benjamin, of
the Cincinnati Conference, is captain of a company
in the celebrated Groesbeck Regiment, 39th Ohio.
Rev. Fletcher Hughes, also of the Cincinnati Con
ference, is Ist Lieutenant in the same company. The
company numbers ninety-seven men; containing two
itinerant preachers, one local preacher, one exhorter,
and a number of ex-otass leaders. They have prayer
meeting every evening, and intend forming a Bible
class.— Zion’s Herald.
Camp Life. —Rev. T. E. Webb, Chaplain of the
14th Indiana Regiment, writing to the Northwestern
Advocate, says:— .■ ■ ,
"Young Wilkenson, the only son of a widowed
mother, and the only one our regiment proper lost
by the enemy, (while we have taken twenty of his,)
was mortally wounded, and lay dying at midnight.
I asked him if ha could trust in Jesus as his Saviour?
Said he, ‘Yes; I can.’ A few moments after, and
just before he calmly slept, he said, in stifled utter
ances, ‘I oan trust in him above to take me home.’
Many of our boys were growing fearfully profane.
In a sermon I took occasion to refer to the matter,
and pointed them to the weeping benediction pro
nounced oh them by tearful, praying fathers, mothers,
wives, brothers, sisters, and friends, and their vows
made to them and to God in leaving home, to the fact
that those teare still flow, and prayers from those dear
ones daily ascend to Him whose sacred name they
ceaselessly bandied about as an unholy thing. Then
guilty bosoms heaved and tears were shed. The
same evening a number gave each other a band that
they would swear no more, and one came into my
tent desiring to be prayed for. On last Sabbath
evening, at the close of one of our prayer meetings,
which are among the most interesting I ever saw,
two proposed uniting with the church.”
The Captain’s Resolution. —At the close of the
dailv morning meeting in Chicago, a gentleman arose
andsaid that he would communicate a fact that he
was sure would interest those present. A young man
in his store had received a commission as Captain in
the army. It is interesting to know the feelings of
such a one, and what course he will be likely to
pursue. He must exert a great influence for good or
for evil upon his men. In conversation the newly
appointed Captain remarked, "If I can find no one
else to discharge'the duty, I will pray myself in the
company.” .'■ . . -

Sanitary Commission. —The United States go
vernment has appointed the following named physi
cians, of this city, on the Sanitary Committee: G. B.

The Volunteer Refreshment Committee of
onr city are about enlarging their accommodations
for the reception and treatment of wounded soldiers
as they go homewards. The new hospital building
to be erected will accommodate between twenty and
thirty at a time. This is a noble work.
The Movement of Troops— The New York pa
pers, are in error in their belief that there exists
danger that the five hundred thousand men called
for under the three years’ volunteer law will not be
forthcoming under its provisions. On the contrary,
volunteering has never gone on more satisfactorily
J"®** 'wrthin the past fortnight, in all quarters of the
loyal States; and since Monday morning last more
Union troops have been in motion on the way to the
field than ever before in the same time; indeed,
twice as many. 'To-day, especially, the number in
motion to join the different Union columns is enor
mouß. _ Within the week ending on Saturday eve
ning, it will be safe to say, an aggregate of at
least thirty-five thousand troops will have joined the
different columns of the Union armies in the field.
We do not feel at liberty to state where precisely.—
Philadelphia Ledger, (last week.)
The South.
A Loyal North Carolina Regiment— To get
m behind the enemy’s lines, and raise soldiers from
hie own population, is a great and oheering indica
tion of progress. The following order was issued by
the War Department on the 17th:
“The commanding officer of the United States
forces at Hatteras Inlet, North Carolina, is autho
rized to accept the services of such loyal North .Ca
rolinians, not to exceed one regiment, as in his
neighborhood may volunteer to take up arms for the
United States, and to designate a regular officer to
muster them into service.”
Crisis in Kentucky— The rebel troops at Colum
bus and on the Cam berland and Long Mountains,
Kentucky, having refused to regard the summons of
Governor Magoflin to leave the State, preparations
are now actively goingoh for hostilities. Kentuckians
are volunteering under the United States flag in
large .numbers. Enlisting is described as exceed
ingly lively.
The Journal learns that from every quarter the
recent wanton invasion of Kentucky by the Confe
derate troops is disapproved of by thousands, and
there are instances _ where Southern Rights men
have announced their purpose to unite in repelling
the invaders.
The railroad trains due north were obstructed, and
telegraphic communication cut off on the 17th. A
part of Rousseau’s brigade crossed, the Ohio from
Camp Holt,‘in Indiana, the same evening, and pro
ceeded South, together with the Home Guard, on
the railroad from Louisville. At 9, A. M., of
the 18th, they were intercepted by a burnt bridge.
Large numbers of Indiana troops were gathering
in Jeffersonville for the assistance of Kentucky. The
following resolution was adopted by both Houses
of the Legislature:
Whereas, The Confederate troops have invaded
Kentucky, and insolently dictate the terms upon
which they will retire—therefore,
Resolved, That General Robert Anderson be in
vited to take instant charge of this Department, and
call out a force sufficient to expel the invaders.
The government has refused to carry the Louis
ville Courier in the mails. It is strongly treasona
ble. ■ Subsequently the office of the paper was seized
and a number of important arrests for treason made
in the city, including Ex-governor Morebead and the
telegraphic operator to New Orleans. The line is
suspended.
Governor Magoffin has vetoed the bill passed by
the Kentucky Legislature requesting General An
derson to take command of the volunteer troops of
that State—but both Houses at once passed it over
his veto.
Gen. Buckner, of the State secession troops, on the
18th, seized Bowling Green with seven to eight
thousand men and twenty pieces of cannon.
Loyalty in Tennessee.— Within a few miles from
-Chattanooga, Tenn., there is reported tj be a com
pany of Union volunteers, 150 strong. These'tire
near the Alabama line.
The Vest.
Missouri is in a highly disturbed state. All parts
except those within easy striking distance of St. Louis
(even the northernmost sections) are scouting grounds
for bands of rebels, who have little military organiza
tion, are mostly well mounted, and who, after com
mitting depredations upon the property of loyal men,
such as robbing stores and farms, and burning rail
road bridges, retire from the scene. When attacked
by our forces they disperse, frequently leaving be
hind them their ill-gotten booty. As we have an in
sufficient force of cavalry for pursuit, they generally
escape. The arrival of General Sturges at St. Jo
seph’s, and the despatch of a force after the marau
ders, who have been exceedingly troublesome in
that quarter, will probably produce quiet and secure
the safety of the Hannibal and St. Joseph’s Rail
roads, on which they have been burning bridges.
Booneville is becoming doubly famous. Captain
Eppstein, on the 13th, with one hundred and fifty
men, kept six, hundred rebels at bay, and, finally,
compelled them to retire. , Only six of the six hun
dred could be induced to storm the intrenchments—
and fouy of these were killed.
Great Battle at Lexington-Assault Repelled.
—On Monday, the 16eb, General Price, with a large
body of rebel troops, appeared before LexiDgtoh, and
demanded its surrender. He was answered in a de
fiant tone by Captain Mulligan, and proceeded to
assault the town, continuing the attack all day, but
was repulsed with enormous loss. The attack was
renewed on Tuesday.
The Siege of Lexington.— This town is strongly
fortified, but only about three thousand federal troops
are behind the intrenchments to resist a force under
General Price of seventeen thousand men. His open
ing attack was made on Monday, the 16th, with
eight thousand men, and lasted two hours, the re
bels being repulsed, with one hundred killed, and
between two hundred and four hundred wounded.
The United States forces lost five killed and several
wounded. On Tuesday the attack was renewed with
less spirit. A severe fight took place with the re
bels for the possession of the ferry boats, three in
number, and the rebels are said to have captured
them. If this be true, Sturgis’ reinforcements will
not be able to cross the river. Twelve wagon loads
of rebel dead andtwounded are said to have been
carried away. On Wednesday Price assaulted the
city four or five times, but was repulsed with a loss
of over three hundred men.
Efforts to relieve Lexington by various parties have
been met by serious opposition from rebel forces on
tho roads. An lowa regiment, numbering five hun
dred and seventy men, left Cameron for Lexington
on Monday, the 16th, and, on the next day, fell in
with the enemy, four thousand five hundred strong,
at Blue Mills, on the Missouri river. After an ac
tion of an hour, our troops fell back, but were not
pursued. Another body of United States troops,
fourteen hundred in number, from St. Joseph’s, with
the same object in view, at this time, reached the
scene of action, but deemed it prudent to delay action
until the morning, when the rebels retreated across
the river towards Lexington. Our loss was fifteen
killed, and about a hundred wounded. The rebels
crossed the river just in time to fall into the bands
of General Lane’s brigade, four thousand strong,
who were also marching to reinforce Mulligan. The
Unionists captured from seven hundred to eight hun
dred, and killed two hundred of the rebels. The
remainder fled, and recrossed the river, when the
lowa regiment started in pursuit of them.
It is reported that Captain Mulligan surrendered
on Friday morning, the 20th.
McCullough is advancing against Jefferson City
with a force stated at 20,000 —probably not half that
number.
Illinois has poured regiment after regiment into
the field, until the West is filled with her prairie
warriors. She seems to be as prolific of soldiers as
she is of grass. She has furnished forty-seven regi
ments, and is rapidly organizing thirteen more, in
addition to the thousands of troops she has furnished
to Missouri regiments. In a short time she will have
supplied the government with over sixty thousand
troops.
Virginia and the Potomac.
No Immediate Advance.— An officer of General
McClellan’s army, who is probably as much in the
confidence of the General as any other map, informed
me this morning that there will be no immediate
movement, of our army here, unless an advance is
made by the enemy. The government is in a posi
tion now to send one or more fleets upon the coasts of
the enemy! and carry forward a vigorous “fire in the
rear,” simultaneously at different points. This is
General Scott's life-saving proposition, and in it he
has the co-operation of tho Cabinet and General Mc-
Clellan. The regular and rapid increase of the vast
army here will be continued—but no general en
gagement’will take place until the ball is opened by
the other party.— The Press.

The Maryland Legislature Broket Up.— lt is
a matter of the highest satisfaction to every patriot
and lover of public justice, that pur .patient and long
suffering government is not wanting in irm and de
cisive action towards the abettors of the fearful crime
of treason, in high places as in low. Tile clear pur
pose of the Maryland Legislature in the Bession
which was to have commenced a few dtys ago, was
to co-operate in their places with the ajmy of trai
tors now on the left bank of the Potomaq in carrying
the State by fraud and violence out of the Union.
Even the remnant that was left in Fredi rick City af
ter the arrests, in Baltimore, of member on the way
to the former place] threatened to cootit ue their ses
sions, and thus encourage the enemies o the country
to cross the Potomac, and seek to wrist the State
from its constitutional and chosen rel: lions. But
this was not to be endured. In the spi it of Wash
ington, who, during the Revolution, w: 3te to Gov.
Trambull, of Connecticut, advising h n “to seize
tories who have been, are, and we knoi will be, ac
tive against ns, and asking, why should persons who
are preying upon the vitals of their cc mtry be Suf
fered to stalk about, while we know tb iy will do ns
every mischief in their power?” acting n this spirit,
the Government has seized the obstina e remnant of
the Legislature, and retained possess!* r of such as,
nfter_ twenty-four hours, refused to ta e the oath of
allegiance. This took place Septemb r 17th. The
Union members, who were few, have gibe home] and
the Legislature is broken up, to the gnat joy of true
men in Maryland, as everywhere else/ lit saves the
State from a fearful condition of anarchy, and from
the infliction of universal martial law by our govern
ment. We are not astonished to set' the assertion
of the correspondent of one of our ttchangcs that
the measure is already bringing but tl e active union
feeling of the people. ’ '

The Sea.;
It is generally understood that a great naval
expedition bas sailed southward to make an attack
somewhere on the rebel coast, mit where is not pre
cisely known. Nor do we know the exact strength
of the fleet, except that in some! well-informed quar
ters it is said to be very formidable. The secret has
been so well kept, this time, that the number of
ships, tire point of attack, the commanders, and the
time and place of sailing, ape alike involved in mys
tery-
Rebel Vessels Recognised jin Cuban Ports—
So far as tbe Government is’at present advised, the
treatment of the rebel vessels is even more hospita
ble and liberal than that enjoyed by obr own ship
ping—inasmuch as they ate’ allowed to exercise the
rights of vessels whose nations are fully represented
on the island by consular agents —whereas,' the
Confederates are without any representatives what
ever. ,
The Department of State is .engaged improperly
investigating this action, although the Spanish Mi
nister at Washington disclaims any unfriendly pur
pose in his government towards us in the conduct of
the Cuban officials.
The Way Our Ships Took Hatteras. —The cap
tured officers of the Hatteras forts have written offi
cial reports of the action. Howthe shells flew about
their head during the latter part of the action may
be seen by the following extract:.
One officer counted twenty-eight shells falling so
as to damage us in one minute, and several others
counted twenty in a minute. At a quarter to eleven
o’clock a council of the officers was held, and it was
determined to surrender. A white flag was raised,
and the firing ceased at eleven o’clock. Thus, for
three hours and twenty minutes; Port Hatteras re
sisted a storm of shells perhaps more terrible than
ever fell upon any other works. ;
Facts and Opiqions.
What a Slaveholder Thinks— ln a speeeh de
livered at Cincinnati, on the 2d hast., tbe Rev. W. B.
Carter, an Old School Presbyterian clergyman of
East Tennessee, said:
“lam a slaveholder. My ancestors, for three ge
nerations, have been slaveholders ; therefore, I can
not he charged with any prejudice against slavery.
But I tellyou before, that I regard the Union of the
States, as of infinitely more'valUe than all the ne
groes in America, and Africa too. Nay, I go further,
and say that if the prosecution of this war and the
perpetuation of tbe Union require that African
slavery shall die, then 1 say let it perish.”—A T . Y.
Observer. '
McClellan's Quiet and Effective Regime.—A
correspondent of the Methodist says:
When I first came to Alexandria, the streets were
thronged with officers and men; and it seemed to my
unaccustomed eye that there was a strange laxity of
discipline among the troops. This was before the
battle of Bull Rnn. Now,, under (he efficient rule of
General McClellan all this is changed, and instead of
military uniforms being theprevailing style, you see
citizens, mala and female, in the”’ streets and at the
front of dwellings in unusual numbers. How quiet,
and yet' how marked is the Ifilfuence of this new
commander of the army of the Potomac! Ever
since he has assumed his present important post, the
reins of discipline have been drawing tighter and
tighter around both officers and men. Yet, strange
as it may seem, tbe severer tbe discipline exercised
upon the army, the greater is its confidence in their
gallant young leader. It is no rhetorical flourish to
say that General MeClellan’s assignment to this com
mand has added more to its efficiency than the ac
cession of twenty thousand troops would have done
under its former commanders. I must confess to
participating personally in the general confidence
reposed in him.
Speaking Marble.— Being recently at the Capi
tol, I copied the following inscriptions from two blocks
of marble, awaiting their places in the Washington
monument*
Louisiana. Ever Faithful to the Constitution and
the Union.
Tennessee. The Federal Union, It must be
preserved.
These blocks were furnished by order of the Le
gislatures of the States named. Well may those
States, in their present position, adopt the language
of Job: "If I justify myself, my own mouth shall
condemn me; if I say lam perfect, it shall also
prove me perverse.”—F. Merrick in the Western
Christian Advocate.
Discipline Necessary.— Lord Palmerston, in a
recent speeeh made at his installation as Lord Warden
of the Cinque Ports, referred to the battle of Bull Run
as an illustration of the fatality of bravery without
discipline. He said, in the course of his remarks:—
“Our cousins in America, as individual men, are
as brave as any that tread the earth. They are of tbe
same stock as ourselves, they are descended from the
same parents, are animated by the same spirit, and
prepared to encounter equal dangers. But when
thousands of men as personally courageous as any
race in existence get together, each man wanting
that confidence in his comrade which discipline and
training 1 can alone supply, they exhibit to the world
that unfortunate rapidity of movement which took
place at Bull Bun. That, ! say, is no disparagement
to the valor of the Americans, but affords, I repeat,
a lesson which we ourselves may usefully ponder and
remember; viz., that discipline and organization are
indispensable to make any army efficientin the field.”

The want of an authentic and thorough History of the Rebellion,

columns, great facts and incidents of the struggle for the Union
