1861. —AND— fiENESSEE EVANGELIST. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1861, §Mmjw»o gnMlipwe. home. Division in the Episcopal Church.-The Epis copal Recorder asserts that a “separation between the advocates and rejectors of sacramental Epis copacy seems imminent.” This is owing to the assumption, by Bishops Bay, Polk, Green, and others, of “the absolute power of the Bishop, as the divine representative, to govem,his diocese, and alter its liturgy and government at his pleasure." In the exercise of this power,, the Bishops in the various seceding States, with the exception of the diocese of North Carolina, have changed the liturgy, and authorized the clergy to alter the service.— Against this assumption of power, the Low-church Episcopalians seem determined to wage a vigorous and persistent rntfare.—Presbyterian. Rev, Dr. SfiOtt, of San Francisco, we are sorry to find, still holds out against his own church, and fe vers the rebel cause. A dispatch dated San Fran cisco, Sapt. 21, says; “The most exciting topio of discussion in San Francisco, within the last three days, grows out of a discussion which took place at a Session of Presby terians, on a vote touching the duty of the clergy to declare themselves on the side of loyalty and against rebellion, and preach loyal dootrines to their con gregations. Dr. W. A, Scott, of Calvaiy, alone voted agnlnut the resolution, and protested against its adoption." Bis congregation are said to be mostly loyal, and' the community very properly leaves the matter in their hands.-— Presb. Banner. Encouraging News.—The Third Annual Re port of “The Church Mission to the Jews,” con tains the following very cheering Statistics: Seven teen. Jewish adults, six of whom are females, have been baptized in different churches in New York; eleven of them have been confirmed. A goodly number of Jewish children are attending Christian Sabbath schools; and a Jewish family consisting of five persons, have been reclaimed, and are now com municants in a eburch in this city. —lsraelite Indeed. Rev. Iff. B. Grier has been appointed an assistant editor'of The Presbyterian of Philadelphia. He was for a number of years the pastor of the First Presby terian Church in Wilmington, N. 0., and this con nection was suddenly interrupted by the existing se cession troubles, which rendered it desirable for Mm to seek Ms Northern home. — Evangelist. The Ghilicothe United Presbytery met at Fall Creek on the 4th of September. Mr. Thomas H. Dysart, a licentiate, under the care of the Wheeling Presbytery, presented a certificate of good standing, and of having accepted the call from the Fall Creek congregation. He was accordingly received, ordained and installed. Bev. Thomas Iff. Cunningham of the Presby terian Church, (0. 5.,) OMcago, has accepted a, call to tbe Alexander Church, Philadelphia, and has en tered upon Ms labors. Bev. James C. Moffat, D. D.,— Was recently inaugurated Professor of Church History in the The ological Seminary at Princeton, N. J. The charge eras given by Rev. Dr. Krebs, Hr. W. A. Campbell was ordained on Tuesday, September 3d, by the United Presbytery of Xenia, and installed pastor of the congregation of Miami. Bev, J, A, Crawford has accepted a call from the First Reformed Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, ARMY. A Sabbath in. Camp.— A. correspondentof the N. Y. Methodist, writing from a camp in Maryland, >l«aks of a Sabbath among the soldiers as a strange intermixture of war and peace, good and evil, preach ing and drilling. Five o’clock in the morning “re veille ’’ is Jieat, The tents are opened and the men turn out, go to the spring for water to wash and cook, breakfast at seven, then get ready for inspection. In this camp, which, by the way, we venture to say, is one of the most orderly and temperate in the grand army of the Potomac, inspection is ended at about half-past nine o’clock, after which themenareatliber- Divine service commences at half-past ten. The '' order ” is on the bulletin, andis read also on ‘ ‘ dress wade, ’ ’ Saturday afternoon. It is a voluntary ser vice ; the commanders of theeompanies and their men M requested to attend. The officer in command ■• iks afew wordsurging attention to the order. The wice must be held in the open air, for there is no ihapel-tent, and the government makes no provirion lor any. A box used to hold hard bread is the chap lain’s platform. At the hour, a drummer-boy “de tiBJed”jfor the purpose stands in front of the pulpit and beats the ‘ 1 assembly, ’ ’ the eall for service. The men come out of the streets of the camp, and gather m front, A hymn is sung, a short prayer, a small portion of Scripture read, another hymn, and then the sermon—short it is, and must be, as we inti mated—and perhaps all the better for that—then dose by singing the noble “ army-hymn,” “ 0 Lord of Hosts, Almighty King.” While service was preceding, an “orderly” ap peared, and called out one of the captains, who im mediately directed all the men of his company pre >ent, to their quarters. An order had come for a iotaehment to hasten and join a force from another regiment in search, of armed secessionists who had seen skulking near the pickets. How quickly are the Impressions of the saored ness of the Sabbath effaced by the preparations of war 1 An Instructive Incident.— lt was recently stated a the Chicago prayer meeting by a lieutenant in the riment which met with such a dreadful accident o the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, that on the Sabbath previous at camp Holt, Kentucky, an old 'wtleman was distributing tracts among the men, Si ! l by chance gave one to an officer of theregiment, »i>o immediately began to ridicule religion in such a ’'ay as to draw quite a crowd around him, much to chagrin of the kind, old man, who was only Peking to do Mm good. But, said the young man, ’ a few hours we were on the move to the seat of ,:,r - and in an instant that officer was before that !"d whom he had despised and whose servant he reviled. An Excellent Chaplain.—TAe Central Christian ■kkoatte speaks of Rev. Wm. Pile, chaplain of one ! t the Missouri regiments, as having been in the diickest of the battle near Springfield, encouraging l ie Men, and doing feats of valor. He seems to ®»ke himself generally useful, for when the “rations 'Mm badly managed in his regiment, he took hold, Ranged for better cooking, regularity in the rations, I?' 1 m a month or less, all was in perfect order, and ’, !• blessings of the poor soldiers were heaped on stint," . Soth captain and Chaplain.— Rev. J. C. x ra «, late pastor of the Westfield Baptist Church, Y has raised a company of 130 men, become captain, joined the Second Buffalo Regiment, ' passed through this city the present week to join . 6,11n y of the Potomac. Mr. Drake is highly es as a minister, and is acting chaplain of his '-riftient, Men’s Christian Associations.—Acon of delegates from the Young Men’s Christian all the loyal States is about to be held, iicp oll^ 81 bbe propriety of united and energetic the present war* to supply the army with a «d moral reading, and the hospitals with °rts and delicacies. ' lev. H. Lincoln Wayland.of W orcester, Mass., has been appointed chaplain of the Seventh Con necticut Regiment, which has just left for Washing ton. He is son of Rev. Dr. Wayland, of Providence, ana has accepted the appointment. MISCELLANEOUS. Religion among" the Contrabands.”— There are now about 1800 contrabands near Fortress Monroe.. Many of these are Christians, and take great delight in religious exercises. The Missionary Association has recently appointed the Rev. L. G. Lockwood, a Congregational minister of New York, to labor for their spiritual benefit. Mr. Lockwood was cordially welcomed by General Wool and has already accomplished much among these poor ones of the earth. The Evamgdist says “he has made arrangements for three services on the Sabbath. He has also established a Sabbath school, in wMch several soldiers act as teachers. Week day meetings are also held. Two thousand primers and a variety of Sabbath school cards havd been forward ed, so that elementary and religious instruction is attended to. The negroes are delighted beyond mea sure with the opportunities enjoyed, and say that ‘the good Lord’ has at length answered their pray ers.” Dangerous Tracts.— A number of writers under the guidance and leadersMp of Mr. Maurice, of Lon don, who belongs to the Broad Church party, have recently prepared tracts making insidious attacks upon the truths) wMch are contained in the TMrtv- Nine Articles. ■ As an illustration of the character of these tracts, we may state that in one of them entitled, u The Atonement as a Fact and Theory," the author de fends the Manridan view of the atonement, assert ing that Christ has ‘ ‘ won a righteous position for ns ad, ’ and that “ mankind, therefore, stands accept ed before God.” _ The Pittsburg Christian Advocate says the Mau ritians think they can offer just the happy medium between vulgar orthodoxy and; bare Theism wMch the times require. A Convention of Universalists. —A convention of this heretical sect recently dosed its sessions in Dr. Chapin’s church,' New York. It was stated in one of these reports that there were 1,100 Universalist Sabbath schools in the country, 8,500 officers and teachers, 74,500 pupils, and 800,000 library books. The Presbyterian Banner characterizes this as an exaggerated estimate. It says that many of the non-churoh-going population are classified as belong ing to heretical sects, while, for the most part, they repudiate their doctrines. ’ Irish Missions.— ln carrying on missionary ope rations in India, the Irish Pres. Church has done a good work. Theßev, Messrs. M‘Kee, Glasgow, Wal lace and Montgomery, the devoted missionaries of this church there, have not only translated and published the Bible and Shorter Catechism, but they have also issued, in the native language, their Metrical version of the Psalms of David for the use of the people at large. This will be gratifying to all who love the Scripture Psalmody. Emancipation.- —A writer in the Independent says it is a duty wMch we owe to our country and the oppressed, to accomplish emancipation now. It is a God-given opportunity. The worst evil we can fear for the future is divine displeasure. Every in fluence toward emancipation should now he made to hear. The Head-Quarters of General M'Clellan on the Sabbath.—lt is said that General M'Clellan causes a card to be hung on the outside of Ms office door every Sabbath, with these words on it: “No business done at this office on the Sabbath. ” FOREIGN. Religion in Paris.— Enter that mggnffieent Gre firid one priest succeeding another in saying mass. As I take a back seat,. I see sixteen women andfourmen not for from the main altar. The priest is in splendid robes, with shaven crown and with his back to the people—as their intercessor, forsooth, with God! He bows and crosses, himself; no, vice is heard, but he repeats the magic formula, Hoc est corpus metim, and 10, as Pope Innocent put it, “The priest’s hands have created God! ” The bell rings; the devotees prostrate themselves; the priest uplifts the host several times, and the bell rings again and again. Six women only were the communicants—and the priest, tripping down the altar steps, puts a consecrated wafer leach par ticle of which, says the Tridentine Council, contains a “whole Christ,”) on the tongue of each recipient. He has already “received,” keeping the cup for him self.—Cor, of Pres. Banner. A Greek Church in Paris— A new and Mghly ornamented church belonging to this sect, has re cently been dedicated in one of the finest quarters of Paris. The conseeratory service was performed by Mgr. Leontius, sufiragau archbishop of Novogorod and St Petersburg. Count de Kisseleff, the Russian ambassador, with other distinguished persons, was present. The Metiwdists&ys: — 1 ‘ The crowd in attendance was immense; and the' novel ceremonies, abounding in gestures and genu flexions, were witnessed with interest and some de gree of amazement, even on the part of persons ac customed to the complicated movements of the Romish ritual The cost of this grand edifice is about $250,000; most'of which, it is said, was con tributed by wealthy citizens of St. Petersburg, who desired to see their national church properly repre sented in the centre of European civilization. Thfe Roman Question, —The Pope still lingers in Rome; and so does the French army. Everybody expected the crisis before this time; but it has not yet arrived. In the meantime pamphlets on the subjeet are as plenty as blackberries. The brochure entitled, The Emperor, Rome, and the King of Italy, has been treated by the English press as a semi-official manifesto from the Emperor’s hand, or at least from his dictation; but there does not seem to be any foundation for tMs notion. It has had a great run, nevertheless, both in France and Italy; and bps had great influence in adding tothe weight of public sen timent in favor of withdrawing the French troops from Rome.—Y7or. of Methodist, Protestantism in Havre.— Dr. Baird, in the Evangelist, says, that in Havre at present there is a large and flourishing congregation of French peo ple, that has the services of an evangelical and faith ful pastor. There is an English church there, for the benefit of the British residents and seamen. There is also an American chapel wMch is well attended, to which the Rev. Dr. Sawtell preaches. Dr. Sawtell’s labors have been much blessed to the people who have from time to time heard him. A disturbance having subsequently occurred in the Doctor’s congregation, he resigned Ms pastoral charge, and has gone to Europe. A New Italian Paper. —Rev. David Kay, Scotch minister in Genoa, has started a new periodical called Letture di Famiglia, (Family Readings,) in order to furnish Italian families a safe literature. He has laid down asa model such periodicals as The Family Trea sury, The Christian Treasury, Good Words, etc.,etc., and, with the aid of an able and accomplished tran slator, he proposes to transfer to Ms pages articles from these periodicals, as well as to insert original articles. Rev. Wm. Arthur, one of the Secretaries of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, has appropriated $5OOO each to theßritish and Foreign Bible Society and to the Wesleyan Missionary Society. It willberemem beredthat he had previously contributed $15,000 to the chapel extension fund for the erection of increased church accommodations for the poor in and around London. Presbyterian Missions to Eastern Africa.— The Rev. Mr. S&tfart has lately left for the East Coast, to inquire what opening there is for the estab #v»ns¥i§sil kshment of missions on the track of Dr. Livingstone. "He has been sent out at the cost of some gentlemen in Glasgow and Edinburgh. —African Times. gteWMitW JjtetM. THE NORTH. New Military Hospital—The necessity of hav ing a hospital connected with the Voltmteer Refresh ment Saloon of this city, has induced the Committee to set about providing one sufficiently large to ac commodate, temporarily, the tick or wounded volun teers who may be pasting through the city, A frame building, thirty by twenty feet, one stoiy high, is to be erected on the east side of Swanson St., below Washington avenue, the corner-stone of wMch was laid on Wednesday afternoon, with appropriate ce remonies. Ex-Goyenor Pollock presided, and made a.n opening address. Addresses were also delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Durbdrow, Brainerd and Clay, aiid Dr. Nebinger. Tbe speaking was interspersed with vocal music by a number of young ladies, who sang the “Star Spangled Banner,” “Save the Union,” and other patriotic songs. There was a large attendance. Men from New England.— We may be mis taken in some small particulars, but we think there are now in the field from Maine seven regiments, New Hampshire, four regiments; Vermont, four regiments; Rhode Island, two regiments and four companies of light artillery, Connecticut 5 regiments, Massachusetts 18 regiments, with the other forces’* above described. Total, 39 regiments, and several battalions of light artillery. These can be doubled in a few weeks without drafting, if the demand for men continues. Another feet is, that a large majo rity of the 18,000 called for to enlist in the navy, come from New England. New Bedford alone has furnished more than enough to the navy to Brake a regiment. We hope that some other State has a larger proportion of its men in the war than Massa chusetts, but we doubt it. — CongregationaMst. Railroad. Business. —Tbe pressure of freight to the seaboard is so enormous at this' present time, that the Pennsylvania, Erie, and Central Railroad Companies are compelled to refuse large quan tities at even advanced rates. The Mississippi river being closed, the produce of the entire West is driven from that channel to the eastern railroads. In addition to this the Baltimore and OMo Railroad is closed, and the Pennsylvania Central is largely occupied with government business. The Supply : of Money.—Nothing can be more satisfactory to the Administration than the prompt ness and confidence of the great banking community of tbe North. Secretary Chase’s mission to New York was eminently successful; he returned not only with the fifty millions in gold loaned at par, hut with the most gratifying'assurances of the de termined purpose of our moneyed men to sustain the government in all its requisitions for necessary mate rial aid.— N. American. OMo Troops in the Field. —OMo has sixty-two regiments of infantry, three regiments of cavalry and one regiment of artillery, now commissioned. Forty of these are full, and fifteen others in fair pro cess of completion. On the 27th of September there were returned at Columbus 50,000 men enlisted, and there is no doubt that full 60,000 men will be in the field or ready on the 10th of October. The Patriotic Loan.—We understand, says the Delaware State Journal, that the first name on the Delaware subscription book for the patriotic National Loan, is that of Caesar A, Rodney. A noble exam ple of patriotism truly, from a worthy scion of revo lutionary stock. Subscriptions to the loan, among the people, are going forward with great rapidity. THI SOUTH. Alii Areas rtf A committee of the Kentucky Legislature has recently issued an address to the people of the State, in wMch, after denouncing the infamy and duplicity of the traitors, in conclusion says:— “ We believe we have done our duty to a eMvalrie people, who have forborne long, but will never fail, as a last resort, to resent an injury and punish ah in sult. We should hold ourselves unworthy to repre sent you if we had done less. The only error, we fear, is, that we have not been as prompt, you may think, as the occasion demanded Thrice have the Revolutionists appealed to the ballot-box in this State, and thrice have the expresgsed, by overwhelming majorities, their ■ determination to stand by the Union and its Government. They have not been active in this war, not from Indiffe rence or want of loyalty, but in the hope of better promoting a restoration'of the Union, and checking the rebellion by that course. Our hope of an ami cable adjustment, and a desire for peace, led us to forbear until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. The attempt to destroy the Union of these States we believe to be a crime, not only against Kentucky but against all mankind. * > * , *, . * 1 ‘ Young men of Kentucky, to arms! to protect the home of your fathers, mothers and sisters. Sound the tocsin on every hill and in every valley, until Kentucky shall drive the insolent invader from her soil.” Senators Breckinridge and Powell have been re quested to resign by overwhelming majorities in both branches of the legislature. The Failure to Take Louisville;— The seces sionists had laid their plans to appear suddenly in Louisville, Ky., with a powerful force. They had provided for transportation four hundred cars and fifteen locomotives, and had eight thousand men with artillery and camp equipage on board. But at a station just beyond Green River, .there was a young man in the service of the road, who was a warm friend of the Union, and who, comprehending the meaning of the monster train, when it came up, seized a crow bar used for taking up rails to mate repairs, and while the locomotives were being wood ed and watered, ran across a curve; and in a deep narrow cut, wrenched the spikes from four rails. The train came along at good speed, the rails spread, the locomotive plunged into the ground, the cars' crashed on top of it, and it was twenty-four hours before, the train could go ahead. In the meantime Louisville was saved. The hero of the occasion had not had time to get out of the cut before the crash came, and was taken, but in the confusion and ex citement got away, and is safe, Outrages in Tennessee. —In a late copy of Brownlow’s Whig, there is an advertisement of a poor widow, for the sale of her house. Her hus band was shot by a Confederate captain. He was a hard working man, and a bold Union man. He had, the day before, hoisted the flag of his country on a pole, at street corner, near by his dwelling. For tMs offence he was set upon by two ruffians, fired upon somehalf dozen times, with revolvers, and wounded. He ran into his house, where, seizing a gun, he put his cowardly assailants to flight. The next day Ms murderer posted himself in the attic of a house near by, and, espying his victim through the window, shot him, inflicting a mortal wound. The next day one of these ruffians was promoted to a major’s commission, and the other to a captaincy. They are in Colonel Vaughn’s regiment of Tennessee volunteers, lately, and perhaps now, in Virginia, near Manassas. TMs affair occurred before Tennes see “seceded.” The widow is now endeavoring to sell her little home and get away from the sight of such fiends. Supplies from Mexico.—A Corpus Christ! letter on the 28th ult., published in the Galveston papers, says:— “Great quantities of powder, lead, and percussion caps are in transit from Mexico to the interior of this State, and a very extensive purchase of arms, ammunition, and equipments for infantry has been effected at Vera Cruz for the Confederacy, on very favorable terms. ■ Southern Coast Threatened.— A rumor comes from New Orleans, via St. Lords, that a fleet of seventy vessels was proceeding up the Mississippi to attack the former place. It is regarded, however, as premature, and shoys amply what an excited state of mind prevails i|i the South. Our Govern ment is chartering every large available vessel, and fitting out an. erprmous fleet. of transports at New York. It is true, however, that some preli minary seizures of straiagetical points on the gulf, near the mouth of the Mississippi, (Ship Island and Chandeleur) have already been made. The Governor of Louaana has ordered all the stores of New Orleans to Ira closed every day after two o’clock, and the whole population capable of hearing arms are compiled to drill. Terrible con sternation evidently prevails in that quarter. Six prizes have recently been taken by our vessels off Beaufort and Hatteras Inlet, N.. C. Letters from Havana! state that the report that the Confederate flag would be admitted in Havana, is without a shadow of Auth. Hatteras.—Seven Mildred soldiers were recently sent as reinforcements toj this place. A letter writer says:— “When about one-half-of the soldiers had landed, several North Carolinians timidly approached from the woods, and by their movements expressed a de sire to converse .with .tjie. troops. Assurance was given them that no ham was intended; when they came into camp, and terrible were tbe recitals of suffering depicted by They stated that their Kttie town contained tyo" hundred and fifty voters, and, with the exceptiM ‘of one man, they all were staunch advocates of the Union. To test their fide lity to the Union, the hath of allegiance was: admi nistered during the dajf* and every voter m the phase, subscribed to it." 'r * One of our armed transports, the Fanny, : was captured by three rebel togs, near Hatteras Met, last week. Two rifled cannon, twenty-fye of the Indiana regiment, including Quartermaster IraW. Hart, several of Colonel JHkwkin’s regiment, and a cargo of commissiary (stores, fell into the hands of the rebels. . . ■ ■ Union feeling at (the South. Evidences are furnished of the continued existence ofa strong Union 1 feeling in Lousiana, ih North Carolina, and even in parts of Eastern Virginia. The pressure of the blockade is very seriously felt. Rye is being used as a substitute for eoflfee. Items. regiments are reported to be in process of formation' in Philadelphia, many of them having a very large list of recruits. —Twenty thousand enlistments have taken place in Kentucky for tbe Federal rerricCand ten thousand more, it is said, will soon’he Potomac is hot ob structed by rebel batteries. —Launches of gun boats are occurring in"'variduS' localities almost* daily.— Very successful balloon reconnoisanees are'made by the generals, at Washington, who ascend with Mr, Lowe in person:—Pip visions of every kind, and boots and shoes are said to be very plenty in Norfolk, Richmond and Easteni Virginia.—There are at least thirty-three fieldworks and fortifications surrounding Washington.—The New York reporters are forbid den to report any of the naval movements now going on in the harbor, even to the sailing of a government transport. FACTS OPINIONS. The Editor of the “Press” finds encourage ment in reviewing the course of events, and in com paring the results accomplished by the rebel and the national armies. lie says:— “They have eapttfed Fort Sumpter, won. the battle of Manassas, and compelled Col. Mulligan to surrender, but oh all these occasions their armies so vastly outnumbered our own, that their triumph was almost inevitable. On the other hand, we can point to the, triumph-of- T*f: CXQ THING'S TOEE^ No. 1043 N. Second Street, bel. Columbia, E. Side, PHILADELPHIA.
