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.

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.

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<a|s.atJßetmaviile, .tbe-brilHaht
successes in-Westem Virginia, our triumphs in many
minor skirmishes, our capture of the' forts at Hatte
ras Inlet, our destruction of a number of their priva
teers, including the recent dashing exploit at Pensa
cola, our, completetdefen.ee of:the capita],” despite
their vainglorious threats of capturing it, our efficient
blockade, our well-maintained line of defences along
the Potomac, in Western Virginia, in Kentucky,
and in Missouri. ” 1
\ *
In Regard to one of the most important of .our
victories, we have the Mowing view from a South
ern source: — " ;
“ The Picayune argwfe that the capture of Hatte
ras by the Federal fleet, Vfll prove a barren victory,
inasmuch as it has aroused all the seaboard States to
make vigorous preparations to repel like invasions.
It says: ‘We but speak the feeling which is every
where manifesting itself in reference to this matter,
among us. The enemy, whether-he approach by
sea or by land, will be met as vigorously here as ,he
has been in Virginia and’in Missouri. The.ener
getic measures which are everywhere in progress
for his reception, under thb'active ahd judicious di
rection ttf the State-'autßbrities,
will reMt, we haye' np'distriigt, iti placing u»ln a
complete state of Defence” ~ <
‘ ‘ The Mayor of Mobile advertises for one thousand

The Story is told of several Union soldiers, who
while standing picket the sacred soil of Virginia,
suddenly discovered a rattlesnake. After safely se
curing it, they held a consultation as to what dispo
sition should be made of their prisoner, when the
discussion was terminated by the suggestion of one
Of the party to “ administer the oath of allegiance
and let it go.” Here is a text for an essay upon the
whole system of administering the oath of allegiance

YIBCiDIIA AND THE POTOMAC.
Another Defeat has been suffered by the rebels
in Western Virginia. Detachments of our forces,
consisting of Kentucky, Ohio, and Virginia soldiers,
and numbering about one thousand men, under
Colonel Engart, surrounded and attacked the
rebels at Ohapmansville,' and after a short engage
ment completely routed them, killing sixty,and
taking seventy-five prisoners* -Tlic rebels in escaping
were intercepted by Col Hyatt, who killed forty
and took a large numb* of prisoners. ’
The country between Charleston and the Guyan
dotte river is now freed from the secession power.
This is the most effective blow given the rebels in
this part of the valley. -
There has also been a reconnoisance in force of the
enemy’s position near Cheat Mountain Pass, in
which full amj satisfectoiy information of his posi
• Ron was gained, and Price has it is supposed, great
loss suffered by him. ,
THE WEST.
Missouri.— General Fremont has reached Jeffer
son city, on his way to meet the rebel conquerors of
Lexington. G-eneral Priee left Lexington with the
main body of his force. On the 4th a portion of our
forces left Jefferson city, and proceeded westward.
His movements and objects are altogether Uncer
tain.-'
On the 3d of October Secretary Seward issued the
following dispatch:—“ General Fremont is not or
dered to Washington, nor. -from the field. Nor is
any court martial ordered concerning him. ’ ’ •
Religion never thoroughly penetrates life
till it becomes domestic ’ Like that patriotic
fire which makes a nation invincible, it never
burns with inextinguishable devotion till it
burns at the hearth.
After all, there is no cheap way of making
Christians of our children. Nothing but to
practically live for it, makes it sure.—Bush

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN
GENESSEE EVANGELIST.
A Weekly Religious find Family Newspaper,
Published every Thursday, at No. 1384
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
Devoted to the Promotion of Sound Doctrine, Correct
and Elevated Moral Principles, and Pure Re
ligion, as Taught in the Constitutional
Presbyterian Church in the
United States. . •
JOHN W. HEARS, ~ - - - Editor.
The American Presbyterian was commended five
years ago, by the Religious and Literary Association
of Philadelphia, and is still in their hands. One year
afterwards, The Genesee Evangelist, for ten years
published in Rochester, N. Y., was united with, and
merged in, The American Presbyterian. The Synod
of Genesee publicly and cordially endorsed this union,
and the united paper continues to circulate in the for
mer field of the Evangelist. The field in this part
of the country has providentially opened to a large
extent to our paper, and pastors and people are more
harmonious and more deeply interested than ever in
promoting its circulation among their congregations.
■ln proportion as these 1 measures are successful, the
paper will be improved in character and increased in
substantial value and usefulness. The services of
some of the best religious writers in the church have
been secured to its columns, and a Foreign corres
pondent, of character and ability, will'shortly be en
gaged. -
The external appearance of the paper has been
greatly improved by the substitution of new fonts of
type for the" entire sheet, thus securing legibility and
beauty in a very high, degree.
As a Religions Teacher.
, The {American. Presbyterian will inculcate pure
morals and sound Scriptural doctrine; particularly a
true arid firm adherence to the Standards of the Pres :
byteriah Church as being in all the essential and ne
cessary artielesj good forms’ of sound words and sys
.terns of Christian doctrinethis it will endeavor to
do in a catholic and kindly spirit towards all, with a
readiness to recognize the image of Christ in every one
of the rent branches of his ehureh, cultivating union
in spirit, and prepared to welcome every safe and ho
norable movement towards union in form.
It is impossible, and would be unwise and contrary
to ithe spirit of Scripture, to’ divorce religion from,
citizenship and the 1 social relations of life. The
American Presbyterian has endeavored firmly, con
sistently and carefully to bring home to every citizen
Ms obligations, as laid down in Scripture, to the State;
.it has labored to revive and stimulate the flame of
patriotism towards our excellent Government—the
nest teinporhl gift of God to man, —and has aided to
develope that wholesome public opinion which is now
arrayed with such power on the side of law, order, and
human rights, against the assaults of traitors.
With our Church, it,claims to have been in the van
of that great and marvellous movement which electri
fied the nation, and marshalled it as one man in de
fence of its imperilled institutions; it did not follow
in the wake of opinion, or slowly shift with the
changing and iirresistible current. Those- who, are in
the slightest degree acquainted with its columns, need
not be informed of the consistent loyalty of its posi
tion. And it will CQntinue.earnestly and fearlessly to
advocate the'more thorough and every-day applica
tion of the Christian principle of the country to the
concerns and relations of social life, of business and
of politics. On the question of slavery, it will unhe
sitatingly maintain the position of the whole Presby
terian Church in, 1818.
As a Religious Newspaper,
It will contain the latest intelligence, carefully and
systematically arranged, giving prominence to the af
fairs of our own Church, while endeavoring to convey
correct information of the progress of Christ’s king
dom in. every branch of his Church, and in every part
of the world. The issue of the week before the
Monthly Concert, will contain a Summary view of the
state of religion in foreign lands for the preceding
month, so that our reapers will be thoroughly in
formed arid enabled to join intelligently in the great
movements of the Church for the spread of the gospel.
. As a Family Paper.
. It will present every week a fresh and pleasing va
riety'of instructive matter, original and selected; the
main feature of which will be, a narrative illustrating
effectively some moral principle or religious 'truth or
duty, for the benefit of -the younger members of the
family; What is'relished by them, will not fail to
please those of all ages.
Secular News.
: Great pains will “be taken to sift out the troth from
the accumulated mass of despatches and letters upon
the absorbing topics of the day. Every event of im
portance in the great struggle, no.w making its deep
mark in history, will be noted; important documents,
speeches and sermons bearing upon the issues before
us, will be reproduced id whole Or in part. So that
a file of our paper; will be found to contain a.brief and
reliable history of the rebellion of 1861.
Endorsements of Religions Bodies.
Our paper is growing rapidly in favor with the min
istry and intelligent laity of our Church. We are con
stantly receiving the most cordial expressions of ap
proval of Our course. We quote the action of three
itefigious bodies to the same effect.
, SYNOD OP PENNSYLVANIA. 1860.
“ Resolved, That Synod has'heard "with pleasure of
the accession of Rev. John W. Hears to the Editorial
department of the American Presbyterian.
Resolved, That Synod has entire confidence in
the American Presbyterian, as a Religions paper,
advocating the principles,? and tending to promote the
welfare of onr denomination, and would cordially re
commend it to, the patronage of our Churches.”
PASTORS’ ASSOCIATION, 1861. '
.“ Resolved, ■ That this Association regards it as a
matter of the highest,importance, that the American
Presbyterian should be sustained, 1 and itscirculation
increased in our churches, and that it will cordially
co-operate in any proper measures to that end.”
. WILMINGTON PRESBYTERY; 1861.
“Resolved, That Presbytery express its entire con
fidence in the American Presbyterian, and sympathy
with it, as conducted by Rey; John W. Hears, and
do most cordially commend it to the families of our
churches.” '

in a worthless or-unreliable, article, and those who do
so must abide the consequence I
