We sre persuaded it is their interest as well as ours. ffriigims g»MHgrst«. OUR OWN CHUBOH. The Presbytery of CrawfordsviUe ia doing a f? nd work for Church Extension in Its own bounds. A correspondent of the Christian Herald saysa “We are a weak body, with feeble churches, having but ire hundred and three communicants, and have ne ,er been able to raise as much money on our field *>r Home Missions as was expended upon it, until M resolved to enter the field as a Presbytery and manage it ourselves. Last year, instead of raising hundred dollars as usual, we raised five hundred dollars. This year we bid fair, hard as the times are, to raise six hundred or six hundred and fifty Wars,” These good and efficient laborers for Christ in our dmimnntion have a singular and sensitive aversion to a recognition as co-workers with the whole body saf to having their work included under that of the Church Extension Committee. They appointed a C.mmittee “to prepare the form of the report, with tie understanding that it shall be stated to be a Pres-' hitrinl effort, and not to be represented as oonnected fith the effort of the Church Extension Committee, ,r under their control. The Presbytery feels that m first work Is In this field.” The Expense and the Income of the Ameri can Board.— "J. 0. H„” writing in the Congrega tumdist, recently, on this point, says: “Many would be glad to see some of the less im portant missions abandoned, if necessary, and the nerntions and means of the Board concentrated on Turkey and other promising fields. They think the theory of bringing up the churches to a higher stan 4rd of feeling, and giving, by extending operations t« fast, must be abandoned.” OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE RIAN CHURCH. The Synod of Buffalo, (Old School,) on motion (lltr, Luid, one of the most conservative men of the ciiorch, has passed a resolution strongly condemna tory of the pro-slaverv views which the Southern Awches have gradually adopted, in violation of the d nrine and the law of the Presbyterian Church, as defined by her former General Assembly. Chaplains. —The Rev. A. M. Stewart, (Reformed Pr-shyterian,) chaplain to the Thirteenth Regiment t Pennsylvania Volunteers, whose letters were so ■nuible to our readers, left Pittsburgh recently to -' as chaplain to the same regiment during the Mr, Stewart’s services were highly appreciated :y fire three months' soldiers, and we have no doubt will be equally valued in time to come.— -I tr, , ' on Titos.

Re English Presbyterian Ohnroh.— The Ban "v Ulster gives the following uuramunioation from Hev, J, Dodd, of Newry. '■ Dexa Sir—Many of your readers may be anxious know how for the proceedings of the late General •wmbly have set forward the claitps of England j jii the Presbyterian ehurohes of the country. The iterator's suggestion, after hearing the English -nutation, was Immediately acted upon—that an !iempl should be made to get a joint Committee of e Free Church, the United Presbyterian Ohnroh, ;e English and Irish Presbyterian Churobes, to oo terate in re-establishing, so far as they could, Evan hieal Presbyterianism in England. A Committee : the late Assembly (the Moderator, Drs. Edgar, ; tfon, and S, M. Dill; Rev. William Johnston, and • Sinclair, Esq. l , Dr. Dill, convener) was appointed ; take the initiative in this grand movement, and pill be highly creditable to our Churoh if she aid have the honor of taking the first steps in it. ■■■■ Committee held their first meeting daring the pngs of Assembly. Dr. Candlish and Rev, Dr. 'lKsnzie, of Birmingham, who were present, highly puudad the movement, and urged to immediate with the brethren in England and -’land. The Moderators of the three Churches— '-free, the English and the Irish—are thus already fitted to the enterprise.

He is succeeded in tbe editor* Bhip by bis brother, the Eev. James H. McNeill, for merly Secretary of tbe American Bible Society.— Presbyterian. Both of these brothers were fellow students with us in Delaware College, the latter being a class-mate. It was a matter of great surprise and grief to us that thei former should single out the American Presby- and make it and its Editor the aim of his most violent and unfraternal denunciations for some months before the cessation of mail facilities. We trust and believe that he now enjoys a better vision of the truth thah in that dark and prejudiced period. The Inauguration of Rev. Joseph F. Berg, D.D., »b Professor of Didactic and Polemical Theology in Rutger's Seminary, took place on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at New Brunswick, N. J. ’ The Bey. G. Vandewall expected to sail last week, in the British brig Delta, for Cape Town, with a view to laboring among the Reformed Dutch Churches in that vicinity. Mr, Vandewall has lat terly been connected with the Holland Academy, Michigan; his place there will not easily be supl plied.— lntelligencer. r An Incident with a Moral —A Chaplain in one of the regiments on the Potomac narrates the ease of a sick soldier, which strikingly illustrates the reasoning of many men in the camp and out of it. Some one had mentioned to the soldier the case of the Vermonter who was sentenced to be shot for sleeping on his post. During the evening following, the fever setting in violently, the sick man'imagined that he was the one sentenced to be shot. The sur geon being called, the following conversation ensued: “Dootor, I am to be shot in the morning, and wish you to send for the Chaplain. I desire to make all necessary'preparation for my end.” “They shall not shoot you, I’ll take care of you. Whoever comes to take you from here, I shall have them arrested and put under guard.” “Will you, dear doctor? Thank you, thank yon well, then, you need not send for the Chaplain just yet.” The Chaplain, in mentioning the instance, adds: “How like sinners at home!” Bishop Ames, of the M. E. Church, has encou raged his son, only eighteen years of age, to enlist m the army, and declares that as soon as tbe Fall Conferences are over he purposes to make a general visitation to.the camps in the West; and, if they go, to follow them into Texas and down the Mississippi toward, or to, New Orleans, and to do all the good he can to the souls and bodies of the soldiers and officers. MISCELLANEOUS. The Church of the Epiphany in this city re markably illustrates the rapid progress of opinion in our community on great questions of pnblio morals. Tbe late Rev. Dudley A. Tyng was, not long ago, compelled to resign the charge of the pulpit on ac count of his anti-slavery utterances. His successor was Rev. Wm. O. Prentiss, a South Carolinian, who upon the breaking out of the rebellion also resigned for a very different reason, and hastened South. He was succeeded in the rectorship of the church by Rev. Mr. Craeraft/who, it‘is said, bore a most de cided and open testimony against the slave power, and in support of the Government. On a recent vi sit to .{Washington, Mr. Craeraft ascertained that among the prisoners taken at the battle of Bull Run, by a Connecticut regiment, was a young South Ca rolina officer, who proved to be tbe son of his prede cessor, Mr. Prentiss. He also Btated that while at Washington he bad learned, from undoubted autho rity, that while Prentiss was occupying the pulpit of the Epiphany in Philadelphia, he was actively en gaged in plotting treason against the Government!— So says the N. Y. Chronicle. Dr. Strickland, of the Advocate and Journal, has been appointed, chaplain of Col. Perry’s regiment, the “ Continental Guard.*' There were between forty and fifty applicants for the place, The Receipts of the Foreign Board of Missions in the Reformed Dutch Church for July were but $4lO. A New Theological Seminary in Philadel phia.—The Episcopal Recorder _ thus speaks of a movement to replace the Seminary at Alexandria, Va., which has been closed by tbe national troubles: It is known that the Rev. Dr. Hare, for several years past, has been engaged in giving instruction to a class of candidates for Orders, in the exegetical study of the Scriptures, in their original languages. Taking tbiß as the basis or germ of this new move ment, the services of the Rev. Dr. May, late of Alex andria, have been secured, in the department of IcoiesMatiaal-Hiatory.and Systematie-DtVMrityf and also those of the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, in the depart ment of Pastoral care. The Rev. Dr. Stevens. Rev. Dr. Goodwin and Rev. Dr. Howe will also give in struction in other branches. The well-known cha racter of these gentlemen is the best guarantee Of the nature of this movement. Ministerial Changes in Philadelphia.— A cor respondent of the New York Observer thus sums up the changes of the past few months among the clergy of our city: As many as six or seven, who have been bound to the South by various ties, have left and gone thither, while others have come from the South. Among those who have gone from us are the Rev. Dr. Brant ley and Rev. Mr. Cuthbert, of the Baptist Church. The latter has lately been installed as pastor of the Coliseum Place Baptist Church in New Orleans, in place of Rev. Wm. C. Duncan, D. D., the recent pas tor, who had been compelled to come North on ac count of his political sentiments. ; Prom the Episco pal Church have gone southward the Rev. Mr. Mc- Rae, Rector of Christ Church, and the Rev. Henry A. Wise, Jr., Rector of the Church of our Saviour. General Wise has become a chaplain in the rebel army in Yirginia. Prom the Presbyterian Church has gone forth Rev. John Leyburn, D. D., recently one of the editors of the Presbyterian. Ilis place in that paper has been temporarily assumed by Rev. ! Matthew 3. Grier, lately pastor of the Presbyterian Church (0. S.) nt Wilmington, N. C. The Rev. George Junkin, D. D,, President of Washington Col lege, Va., Rev. Thomas G. Wall, lately pastor of the Presbyterian Church, at Newbern, N. C., and the Rev, E. Bailey Smith, lately pastor of the Presbyte rian Church at Lewiosville, Ya., have also become for the time residents in Philadelphia. Accidentally Shot. —September 4th, Ex-Governor Briggß, of Pittslield, Mass., in attempting to take down a coat in a room, displaced a loaded musket, which discharged and shot him, carrying away his left jaw, and inflicting a wound from which he died a day or two after. He was a hard-working member of the Baptist Church, and a great lover of the Sab bath-school, having acted in the capacity of Superin tendent for several years. Rev. H, Borchard. —This worthy Pastor, soys the Lutheran Missionary , whose labors at Dayton, 0., have been so signally blest in recovering an impor tant German church from Rationalism and disorder, we regret to learn from a farewell letter just received, is about to return to Germany to accept an urgent call from a church in the Fatherland. Lutheran Church in Maryland.— The unhappy civil difference of opinion in Maryland is making sad work in a number of our churches. The Middletown and several other charges continue vacant, as the sympathizers with rebellion will not unite in the call of a loyal minister, and the Union men utterly refuse to vote for a minister who apologizes for the rebellion. “Neutrals” are distasteful to both, — Missionary. The Rev. E- Yeates Reese. D. D., is no more and would to God, says the Methodist Protestant of Baltimore, that the simple announcement of the me lancholy event were all that need be said, bat it must be added that this gifted, amiable and invaluable bro ther has fallen by his own hand. The awful deed in a paroxysm of mental insanity, he perpetrated by cutting his throat with a razor, at his own house in this city, about 9 o’clock on Saturday morning, 14th ult., We have not the spirit to enter into the sad de tails of this heart-rending tradgedy, but shall simply state some of the principal facts. , The apparent cause of his derangement was our na tional troubles and fear of the consequences to himself and family. The true cause however is set down by the above named paper of which he was editor was over work. The paper adds:—ln the disordered condition of his mind and of its emotional exercise, Dr. Reese came under an invincible impression that he had greivously sinned against God, because of his ingra titude and lack of confidence in the divine promises, and whs tortured with the idea (for idea it was, and that only) that his usefulness as a minister of the Gospel was at an end, as the community would' lose all respect for him, and conclude that he himself had nut believed those scriptur&Uruths which for so long a time, and with so much ap parent oarnestuess, he had preached to others. Union Of Tract Societies. —The Congregational Journal thinks the Tract Societies of New York and Boston are now so nearly on tbe same platform that they should be united, thus resuming their old relation to each other. In Germany, the spirit of persecution has again appeared, after a long slumber. An old law which is still on the statute books, forbidding evening meet ings, or any meetings for prayer, singing, and read ing the word of God, without the license of the resi dent clergyman, has been revived—and, under the charge of violating it, several Methodists have been fined” and their minuter has been imprisoned. ARMY. §?Mja>matt and dmim dmpliist. Bifcs of l|t Struggle. The North. Presentment of Newspapers.— The Grand , r, ourk New Jersey has indited the Newark Evening Journal, tbe Warren Journal, “?. e . „ , s™°” Democrat, the New Brunswick Times, Plainfield Gazette and Hackettstown Gazette, as papers which have been persistently engaged in denouncing and libelling those to whom this great duty of na tional defjpce is' necessarily entrusted, in thwarting those effofts for self-preservation,. and fomenting re bellion by discouraging and opposing tbe only means by which it can be put down. The; Seven-Thirty Loan.— The total amount of subscriptions to the 7.30 per cent. loan within the last fortnight, is $16,365,000. The whole amount paid rda W' ? ince th ® firBt subscription, is $3,140,000. The whole amount of private subscrip tions from the 19th of August to the 21st of Septem nm’ ? e , W J or lk | lO - 64 °.000; Boston, $5,000,- 4?°nV^ 1 i ade iP hm - *2,294.000, other agencies, say $1,000,000. Total, $18,434,000. ' 1 Release of Prisoners. James W. Wall, of Bur- J. and George L. Bowne, of New York, nave been released on taking a stringent oath to support the Constitution and the Government.— Fierce Butler has also been discharged, having given his solemn pledge not to commit any hostile act against the United States authorities. Virginia and the Potomac. Reviews and Reconnoisanoes are the order of the day. One of the latter, the object being to obtain forage, was made by General Smith in the neighbor hood of Lewinsville, with 5,000 infantry, 300,cavalry and three batteries. The result of the expedition was altogether successful. Several head of battle and sheep, besides large quantities of hay, corn and oats, in wagons employed for tbe purpose, were brought into camp. While at Lewinsville, the rebels approached and opened on our,men with a battery, but it was-mooii silenced by the guns of Griffin and Mott. The National Past was strictly observed in Washington. A secular paper says: With but few exceptions, _ business was generally suspended, and public service was held in the vari ous churches. No business was transacted at the different Departments, and the city wore the look of a Sabbath day. On the other side Of the Potomac, throughout the various camps, all military business Was suspended, and the day was set aside as a re laxation from all toil and labor. Skirmish in Western Virginia.— The rebels were driven out of Mechanicsviiie and Romney on the 25 th, with a loss of 35 killed and a large number wounded. Colonel Geary had another skirmish with a rebel force near Point of Rocks. The rebels were sheltered in the high point of Catoctin Mountain, and in the houses at its base, but they were driven from every place by the battery and rifles of Col. Geary’s com mand. The houses were burnt to the ground, and whilst several of the enemy are known to have been killed and wounded, the Federal troops sustained no injury. Advance of the Federal Army.—On Saturday, the 28th, the Federal army made a forward movement and occupied Munson’s Hill and other advanced posi tions of tbe,rebels in the vicinity of the Capital. Tbe latter had retreated on Friday, so that there was no interruption to the advance, and no loss to our forces, except what was caused by the firing of some of our regiments upon each other. As General Smith’s brigade advanced from Chain Bridge on Fall’s Church, by some unaccountable blunder, Co lonel Owen’s Irish Regiment, in the darkness of the night, mistaking for the rebels Captain Mott’s bat tery, which was in the advance, sustained by. Gen eral Baker’s California Regiment, led by Baxter’s Philadelphia Fire Zouaves, and Colonel Friedmann's cavalry, fired a full volley into the troops last men tioned, killing and wounding a large Dumber. Another account says that the First, Second and Third Regiments of Baber’s Brigade, fired promiscu ously into each other. Most of the killed are Phila delphians. No fortifications of any military value were found on Munson’s Hill, or any of the rebel po sitions gained by this forward movement. There is some speculation as to the cause of this retreat of the confederates. The most probable theory is that it is a mere feint for the purpose of drawing our troops into ambuscades. There are various conjectures as to what has be come of the rebels. The general supposition is that they /Have retreated to Fairfax Court House. PoragingS-*A company to-day visited the Mount Vernon estate of thjj_date John A. Washington, re cently killed in Western Virginia, and brought away about eight'hundred bushels of wheat, nearly five hundred bushels of oats, and severity barrels of fish, all of which has been stored in the Commissary’s Department at Alexandria. The Sonth. Louisville, Sep. 28tL— The Bulletin says that five hundred troops from Terre Haute have gone up the Green River, Kentucky, and taken possession of locks Nos. I and 3. A shot was fired at them, but the assailant was killed by the return fire. Cynthiana, Kentucky, is occupied by Federal troops. National flags were thrown to the breeze from the Louisville Hotel and Galt House, to-day. Further from the Kentucky Legislature.— Frankford, Sep. 28.—The Senate Commitee reported that the arrest of Ewing, Silvertooth and Irvan, mem bers of tbe Legislature, was illegal and unauthorized, and that they bad procured their release. The thanks of the Legislature was voted to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, for aid in arresting the inva sion of Kentucky, Kentucky. —The condition of affairs in Kentucky is very critical and unless some active measures are taken,-there is a prospect, that the whole State will be speedily overrun and ravaged by-bauds of con federate troops. The Legislature still continues loyal, and has lately passed an act calling out 40,000 volunteers, for service from one to three years. General Buckner threatens Louisville with a force of from 7,000 to 10,000 men, and feariDg an at tack, General Anderson has sought, and received reinforcements from the Governor of Indiana. On the other hand reliable intelligence states that four regiments from Yirginia have reached Bowling Green, Buckner’s head-quarters, 90 miles from Louis ville. James B. Olay, son of the statesman, of Ashland, was captured on the 25th of September, by a de tachment of United States troops. He was on his way to join the rebel army. Breckenridge having escaped capture at the same time being with the party. The Kentucky Legislature, September 27tb, ap proved, through its judiciary Committee, the impo sition of the direct tax by Congress. i‘ Expedition to Ocracoke Inlet— The fort on Beacon Island has been captured by a naval force sent out by Captain Rowan of the United States ship Pawnee. It was a fine fortification, containing a bomb-proof one hundred feet square. Our men went to work, broke and blew all the trunnions off. the guns, which were old-fashioned and not worth the trouble of moving, gathered all the lumber and plaeed it inside the bomb-proof and set it on fire. We could see the light from the Pawnee on Tuesday night, and when they left it was nothing but a mass of smouldering ruins. The Union Sentiment is becoming more bold in North Carolina. . . The U. S. Commander at Fort Clark, N. C., lias issued a proclamation, saying among other things: Weoome to give you back law, order and tbe Constitution, your rights under it, and to restore peace. We call upon traitors and rebels in arm? to lay them down, and upon good citizens, who re spect tbe law, to aid us in our undertaking.

' Latest.—Tuesday.—Virginia and the Poto mac. —The position of the Federal army remains, unchanged. The amount of property destroyed by the Federal troops, during the advance, amounts to $50,000. Other reports say it is very trifling. A reconnoisance was made by the rebels on the morn ing of Sept. 3Qtb, at Great Fails, by eight regiments with artillery, but they were dispersed by General McCall. Missouri and the West Rebel Force at Lexington.— The rebels are said to have from 40,000 to 50,000, men at Lexington. Affairs in Missouri are still in a very unsettled eond ition. General Fremont’s; inactivity is not under stood, and many complaints are made. The jonrnals of the West, however, sustain him, arid say that he is doing all that he possibly can. He has lately chartered several steamboats to convey troops up the Missouri, and it is hoped, that/ns he is to command our forces in person, he soon be able to retrieve me latodisaeters, and drive the rebels from the State. General Curtis is to have command in St. Louis and vicinity during his absence.; ,i Surrender of Mulligan,— ‘The tidings of the sur render of this gallant soldier are fully confirmed. The enemy, whose force i§ stated at 30,000, captured a large amount of gold, seven Jpannan, forty-five hun dre,d rifles and muskets, the equipments of Marshall’s and Mulligan’s regiments, a number of wagons, and a considerable quantity of provisions. The surrender was made against the strongest protest of Colonel Mulligan, who proposed to attack the enemy with the bayonet, and die with arms iQ|their bands. The men were willing to follow him, hut were so exhausted they could have made but a feeble resistance. The rebel loss is supposed to be ifiout 300 killed, and a large number wounded. | Defeat of Rebels by Gent Lane.— On Septem oer 26th, Genera] Lane’s command surprised a supe rior force of rebels, at PapenSyille, Missouri, on the 21st, and after a severe engagement, routed them, losing IT killed, and a large'number wounded. The rebels lost 40 killed, and 100 prisoners, and all their tents, wagons, and supplies.

It is supposed that efforts will be made to surround and capthte Gen. Prices forces at Lexington. s JSf'-vy-' General Fremont has reached Jefferson City. It is said that if he is energetic apd rapid in his move ments, he_ can cut off Gen. Prichls chances of escape, and obtain a brilliant victory. General Lane had made a forced march on Osceola, and had captured a large supply train which had been left by General Rains and Price, together with |sioo,ooo in money. The command is now supposed to be on a march to join Gen. Sturgis. General Price, by later accounts, is determined to bold Lexington.
