PRESBYTERIAN.
The first TJ. P. Synod of the West met in Al
kdW. Got. Ist ** have a
under their care, the management ofwhich was
. tonic of diseusssion at this meeting. The studies
‘. tend over four years, five months out of the twelve
L„2 -.pent at the Seminary, the remainder under
the supervision of Presbyteries and the ministry.
The faculty were appointed a “committee, which
yi be authorized to correspond with the principal
Theological Seminaries of Europe and of this coun
try to know the number and length of their terms;
theological courses, their Text-Books, with the man
ner of giving instruction: And to prepare and make
to the Synod at the next meeting a full and well di
gested report embracing such information as shall he
Obtained, and an improved plan of operations so far
its in their judgments they shall deem expedient to
iwoiumend for the future efficiency of our Theologi
cal Seminary."
Strong resolutions in support of the government,
and in favor of manumitting, by military proelamar
lion, of all slaves of rebelsjlWere passed, and a com
mitteo of six were appointed to proceed to the city
of Washington for the purpose of pressing upon the
attention of the President and his cabinet, as well as
upon other officers of the government, the duty and
necessity of taking immediate steps to put away our
national sins that we may be restored to the favor of
God.
The Committee on the Board of the Church,
.yMinng of the diminution of the resources of the
various benevolent enterprises, says; “It is to be
feared that the cause lies much deeper than any pre
sent troubles of the land. It is to be feared that we
all. ministers and people, need to be awakened to a
more lively interest in the glory of God, a more com
passionate sympathy with perishing souls, and a
more unreserved consecration of ourselves, of all that
ire are and all we possess, to the glory of God in the
salvation of souls.”
This very large body, comprising sixteen Presby
teries, is to be divided into three, if the General As
sembly so order.
One of the Presbyteries reported that it had passed
tk following:
Resolved, That in our opinion the attempt of the
country to keep out of view the fact that, Slavery is
the cause of the present unhappy war, is only in
creasing our sin and prolonging the conflict if not
endangering our success. It is as true of nations,
as of individuals, that “they that cover their sins
shall not prosper, while those who confess and for
a's* them, shall find mercy, ’'
The Synod of the German Reformed Church
in the United States, commenced its annual sessions
ia Easton, Pa., on the 25th of September. Soon
after the opening it was
Resolved, That, in conformity with the recom
mendation of the President of the United States,
ire, ns a Synod, do observe Thursday, the 26th day
<f September, with all due religious solemnities, as
a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer.
Accordingly the usual business of the Synod was
suspended on Thursday, and the day given up to de
votional services. Rev. T. 0. Porter preached a
sermon on Jonah til 8,9. Among the sins of which
we have been guilty as a nation, and which must be
forsaken, were enumerated pride, luxury and extra
ngsnee, almosit universal contempt for law and au
thority, vile spirit of party, oppression of bondmen,
aid the want of any proper recognition of our holy
religion in the institutions of our country.
The next day busmens was resumed. Por two
years past preparatory steps have been taken by a
committee of Synod to celebrate with appropriate
ceremonies the 300th anniversary of the Heidelberg
Catechism in 1883. A correspondence has been
opened with a number of eminent theologians of
Germany and Switzerland, with a view of securing
their co-operation in the way contemplated in the
plan.
Twenty-seven students were in attendance during
tie past year, in the Seminary, five of whom were
K- jlarly dismissed, having completed the full theo
logical course prescribed. This is a decided advance
<ci fast years.
The Report of the Board of Home Missions
o’- wed that thirty-four missions are supported by
' hureh, the most of which are in a promising
■ cation. A few missionary charges have become,
Supporting during the year. The receipts for
- 1 past year amount to over $3600, showing a di
minution as compared with the receipts of the pre
cious year,
The contributions to Foreign Missions during the j
car amount to $1354.82. A letter from Dr. Sehnei- !
icr, our missionary in Aintab, Syria, was read, re
nting the present condition of Ms mission. This
jission was established some twelve years ago. The
access attending'the enterprise thus far is without
‘ parallel in the history of Foreign Missions in the
Orient.
The question of a revision of the Liturgy, was
earnestly disoussed during parts of three days. The
Matter was referred to a committee wMch already
M the matter in hand. The committee was re
vested, if possible, to report at the next annual
tejting of Synod, with a view of bringing this de-'
1 ional work to its desired consummation by the
'"lurch during the Tri-eeptennial commemoration
•nr of the Heidelberg Catechism.
As more than two-thirds of the Classes expressed
I w mselves favorable to the formation of a General
I nod, the proposed changes in the constitution ne-
I ‘ary for this purpose, were acceded to. When
I Western Synod will have taken action on it, the
I ter will be definitely .arranged and fixed.
I 'be contributing committee of the Messenger re-
I • "ed to Synod, and was discharged. Rev, B.
I iiman resigned his office as editor of the Messen-
Changes in the Old School Churoh. —The
Randolph A. De Lancey, Secretary of the
■' ith Western Advisory Committee of our Board
'.domestic Missions at New Orleans, has resigned
' wise of the endorsement of secession by the
wlmrn portion of our churoh. Mr. De Lancey is
'' ll known as a devoted servant of the Divine Mas
!-• He is loyal to the Union, and on this account
: f found it necessary to leave the city and region
uliere he has resided for many years,
fhe Rev. John Miller, formerly pastor of .the
'well in Philadelphia now served by the Rev. Dr.
is now captain of a company in the rebel

church, now Mr. Crowell’s, is also a captain

. ’•‘u'lorcd almost an abolitionist This is a sad M
roiu the eminence in which God had placed them,
’“’ulsters of the gospel. —Banner,
® r ' Scott and the Old School Synod.— Our
,JI era are probably aware that the Rev. W. A.
. D,, of the Calvary Church, (0. S.) San
“eisro, has been compelled to resign his charge
, kiive the city, by the great pressure of public
;against him, on account of his opposition to
" Mviotie action of the General Assembly in this
, i j, mob gathered round his Church on Sab
tJ lol ’gb no violence was used. It appears,
J ' cv * r > that his brethren of that branch of the
church, on the Pacific coast, are disposed to sustain
him in his course. The latest news from California
says; “The Synod of the Pacific met at Napa on
Tuesday, October 1, Resolutions were passed com
plimentary to the Rev, Dr. Scott, and lamenting the
demonstrations of personal violence at San Francisco.
The Rev. Dr. Anderson and one other member voted
against the resolutions. Resolutions of loyalty to
the Government were also adopted.
Division of the Old School Church deliberate
ly planned.— A writer, in the last number of the
Danville Quarterly Review, reviewing , the aetion of
the last General Assembly, gives us his opinion of
the origin and end of the late movements in the
South, as follows;
“A plan was formed—we speak advisedly—•& plan
to divid,e the Ohureh, originating, most probably, in
the bosom of the Synod of South Carolina, was
formed ihefore the late Assembly met. A motion
was to be made to rescind the deliverance of 1818,
on the subject of slavery. On foiling to cany that
motion, which was known to be just as certain as
fate, the Southern Commissioners were to secede
from the Assembly. Nothing prevented this plan
from being carried into execution but the fact that
certain persons foiled to secure an election as Com
missioners, and others were kept away by the war.
Synod of Baltimore, —We understand, says the
Presbyterian, that, by general consent of the mem
bers of the Synod of Baltimore, the meeting of that
Synod this fell will be passed over.' The reason of
this will suggest itself to every one who understands
the geographical position of some of the Presbyte
ries composing this Synod.
Successor to Dr. Elbe,— —We learn that the
North Presbyterian Church of Chicago have called
the Rev. Dr. Gurley of Washington city to be their
pastor.
CONGREGATIONAL.
From Unitarianism to Orthodoxy— We hear
with great satisfaction that Rev. Edmund Squire, by
birth an Englishman, and long a preacher of the
Unitarian faith, has just been licensed by the Suf
folk South Association, as a minister of the true
gospel. We are informed that the statement of his
Christian experience and of his doctrinal views be
fore that body was not only satisfactory, but of much
more than ordinary interest. And we are authorized
to state that the members of the Association ear
nestly commend him to the confidence and Christian
affection of our churches.' Mr. Squire has com
menced regular religious services in the Athensemn
on Cottage street, Dorchester, under very encou
raging auspices.— Cangrer/alionalist.
Statistics of the Congregational Churches in
Massachusetts sum up as follows:—s72 ministers,
of whom 322 are pastors, 81 stated supplies, and 169
others; 491 churches, of which 53 are vacant; 75,637
members, 10,999 absent; 976 added by profession,
and 1,676 by letter; 2,962 removals, and 82,159
Sabbath school scholars. The number of communi
cants reported is 734 less than last year. The act
ing Statistical Secretary says, ‘ ‘ the statistics for this
year are imperfect, which is owing to the feet, as he
thinks, to the wants of the efficient labors of the
Statistical Secretary, Rev. Mr. Quint, who has gone
to the war as chaplain. He says there is no town in
Massachusetts without the institutions of the gos
pel, though there are 26 towns which have no Con
gregational church.
The Association of Dubuque have very sensi
ble views of the Independent. It was agreed on all
hands that the Independent is a very able and valu
able Bheet, but not distinctly religious or adapted to
Sabbath reading, and the impressions seemed to he
that it was doing injury to the spirituality of Chris
tians, by being regarded as religious reading, and
occupying,-to a large extent, the hours of the Sab
bath in its perusal.
Seminaries. —The Junior Class which has just
entered Andover Seminary, now numbers twenty
seven. The new class at Union Seminary, New York
City, has thirty-seven members.
Rev. Eliphalet Whittlesey, late pastor of Cen
tral Church. Bath, Maine, has accepted the position
of Professor of Rhetoric in Bowdoin College.
EPISCOPAL.
A Successful Minister.— The Rev. Dr. Tyng, of
this city, has brought to confirmation 1417 persons;
received to first communion, 1627 persons; married,
615 couple; delivered 6650 sermons and addresses,
besides addresses at more than 1000 funerals; his
congregations have always “brought forth fruit®
most encouraging and abounding;” he has seen
forty-two of the youth of Ms parishes called to the
ministry, and has been the means of raising $1,218,-
242 for religious purposes. His Sabbath schools,
teachers and pupils, number 2008 persons.
ARMY.
Character of the Chaplains.— The chaplains of
the army constitute a most important corps of its of-
fleers. In all those regiments that possess a good
chaplain, his-worth is soon known and appreciated.
I believe no New England troops have been insulted
by the appointment of unfit men as chaplains over
them. There are chaplains, however, (it must be
said however unpleasant) in the volunteer army,
who are entirely unfit for their places, and who
sought them for the pay, and not to do good. When
it is remembered that one chaplain forfeited $5OO
bonds on a charge of theft, and that at least one or
two others are no more sober than they ought to be,
it will be perceived at once that sufficient care has
not been taken to protect the soldiers by the gover
nors of certain States. The story is told of a certain
chaplain, that when a message was sent to him to
read service, he was found engaged in playing a
game of euchre. However, such facts are excep
tional, and they are only alluded to that in formation
of new regiments the proper authorities may see to
it that good men get the chaplaincies. It is of the
utmost importance to the troops that their spiritual
interests should he, cared for by spiritual men. ]
Manly, noble, courageous men are wanted—not
cowards, nor puny, inefficient men. The soldiers
will not respect a sickly, nervous chaplain, however
pious he may be. He must be a man, and truly a
Christian, to do good in the camp. As a body, the
chaplains of the volunteer army are a noble set of
men, and are doing a great and useful work. As
such let them be respected.— Car. Cong.
Religions Services in the Camps.—A Metho
dist chaplain writes as follows to the Methodist :
As to the order of exercises, that of the Presbyte
rian Church seems to me best adapted to service in
the camp. Kneeling is out of the question as a
stated posture for prayer. No-one who believesthat
we ean just be as humble in heart without bending
the body, will object to standing. The service of the
Episcopal Church, with all its beauty and power, is
too long; and X am disposed to believe that even j
were it abbreviated, the prayer book would be in the
way here. Not having tried it, I will not speak po
sitively. The invocation at the beginning of wor
ship only differs from the form used in the Methodist
Church, by being public. When a Methodist bows
his head in his seat on entering God’s house, he in
vokes the presence of i the Holy One, and asks the
ministering of the Holy Spirit to his soul. The
Presbyterian follows his pastor, who prays audibly.
Here the Presbyterian mode is best suited. The
offering of the closing prayer immediately at the
conclusion of the discourse, I have for a long time
thought preferable to our plan under all circumstances
It certainly serves a double purpose. The petition
goes up to Heaven with as much fervor, and it cer
tainly tends to impress upon the hearts of the hear
ers more strongly the lessons of the sermon.
General M'Clellan,— The New York Christian
IntelMffencer says:
The more the country sees and hears of General
glmmrxti and
M Clellan, th,e more thorough the conviction becomes
that he is the right man in the right place—that
under God,, he is the instrument to be used in pluck
ing the nation from the exceeding peril in which it
has been, and still is, involved. A contemporary
adds the following testimony from a angular source
to the military talents of this accomplished leader of
our army, “General Garnett, of Virginia, was in
Paris last winter. In conversation with a gentleman
•who is our informant, he declared that 1 if war should
arise between the States, M'OMan would be the
Napoleon of America. ’ It is a remarkable commen
tary on this statement, that General Garnett should
have been killed in M c oleUan’s first campaign,
.* s possible tbat the district jail in Washington
is used to imprison a large number of contraband
negroes? The New York Post's Washington corres
pondent so reports. A. slave of the noted rebel,
John A. Washington, is among them—/bee accord
ing to the Confiscation Act, hut confined within pri
son walls, “without the color of law, under the eyes
of the President. 9 7 No one seems to know why it is
so, or why the Administration tolerates such an out
rage. It offers poor encouragement to slaves to
come over to the Eederal ride.
Col. J, M. M'Carter’s Regiment.— We under
stand that the Rev. J. M. M‘Carter, of Lebanon,
Pennsylvania, who recently resigned his pastorship
for the purpose of raising a regiment of infantry, has
in the short time of fourteen days, enrolled eight
hundred men, and expects to complete his regiment
inafewdays.
FOREIGN.
A daring attempt to give to the new Rational
istic theology the character of a state religion, was
recently made in the city of Basel, so celebrated as
the centre of several great Christian societies. The
Grand Council of this canton has among its members
an eager advocate of the extremest kind of Ration
alism, Mr. Rumpf, who, after having been expelled
from the ranks of the clergy for his open attacks on
Christianity, fried to propagate his opinions by
means of the secular arm. He made the motion in
the Grand Council “to bring the religious instruc
tion given in the public schools into concert with the
results of modem science, or at least to leave clergy
men at liberty to what extent they intend to make
use of the Biblical history. " In support of his mo
tion, he pretended to show the incredibility of the
miracles related in the Bible, from the present con
dition of the natural sciences, and from the spurious
ness of the books of the New Testament. The Grand
Council, however, did not see fit to substitute “mo
dem science ” for the Bible, and after a brief dis
cussion, the motion was rejected with almost entire
unanimity. Its fate may, however, warn the Evan
gelical school to what dangers a state church of
Switzerland is exposed at every new election.
Sympathy of the Christians of Great Britain.
—On the evening of the 26th ult., a special religious
service washeld at the Islington Presbyterian Ohureh,
in Liverpool, as a mark of sympathy with the na
tional humiliation appointed to he observed in Ame
rica on that day. The Rev. Dr. White conducted
the service. He regarded the American war in the
light of a correction from God to improve, and not
as a judgment to destroy. The cause of the war he
believed to he the curse of slavery, and he argued
that the war would be the death Wow of slavery.
Students at German Universities.— The latest
returns gives the following as the number of students
in the principal German universities: Vienna, 2,250;
Berlin, 1,542; Munich, 1,280; Leipsie, 887; Bres
lau. 850; Bonn, 836; Gottingen, 751; Halle, 720;
Tubingen, 719;-Wurzburg, 651; Heidelberg, 588;
Erlangen, 583; Jena, 454; Kaenigsburg, 419; Gies
sen, 335; Friburg, 318; Griefewaid, 293;,Marburg,
254;. Kiel, 178. -
Liturgical Revision. —The Synod of Adelaide,
in Australia, has rejected a motion in favor of a Li
turgical Revision to conciliate Dissenters, by a vote
of 26 to 10. In the majority were the bishop, the
dean, ten clergy, and fourteen laymen. In the mi
nority, four clergymen and rix laymen.
Madagascar. —The rule of the large and impor
tant island of Madagascar, on the eastern coast of
Africa, will soon he contested between the son of
the Queen, who is reported to be a Roman Catholic,
and a pagan relative. Eranee claims a protectorate
over the whole island.
§am»tu
THE NORTH.
Arrival of Dr. Hayes' Arctic Expedition—A
despatch from Halifax, October 9, contains the fol
lowing:
Dr. Hayes’ polar expedition arrived here this
morning in the United States. The party are all
well. Two have died, including August Sontag, the 1
astronomer, and Gibson Caruthers.
Dr. Hayes reached Smith’s Straits on the 25th of
August, last year, but could not penetrate the strait
with his vessel, either last season or this. He win
tered at Port Foulke, near Cape Alexander, and
with a dog sledge reached lat. 81 deg. 35 min. on
May 18th of this year. The objects of the expedi
tion were:— '
1. To explore further the open polar sea discovered
by Dr. Kane and to determine its limit and charac
ter.
2. To complete the survey of the northern coasts
of Greenland and Grinnell land.
3. To determine important questions relative to
the magnetism, meteorology, 'natural history, and
general physical features of the unexplored region
north of Smith’s Straits.
The first object could not, of course, be accom
plished on account of the ice blocking up the pas
sage to Smith’s Sound; hut we may presume from
Dr. Hayes’ activity and determination, that the others
have been, soikr, at least, as it was possible to effect
their accomplishment.
Treason in Ohio. —It is almost incredible to be
lieve that an organization like the “Knights of the
Golden Circle,” having for its avowed object the
suceess of the Southern Rebellion and the overthrow
of the Federal Government, exists in Ohio, hut such
is the fact.
An arrest was lately made, at Marion, Marion
county, of a man named Fred. Court, who is “ Com
mander” of a “ Castle” of the Knights at Marion.
The officer took him to Cleveland and lodged him in
jail. The records of the Castle were seized, and are
in the possession of the United State Marshal.
When Deputy Smith made the arrest, a crowd of
several hundred men collected, and many of them,
who are undoubted “Knights,” appeared- disposed
to rescue the prisoner. The prompt and fearless
conduct of the Deputy Marshal, who exhibited un
mistakeably that he would relinquish his prisoner
only with his life, prevented such an attempt.
The Fremont—Blair Difficulty—Nearly all the
papers, in regard to the unfortunate difference be
tween these two prominent men, have been pub
lished. It is difficult to determine from them where
the blame lies. Some of Blab’s charges seem to us
very trivial. Secretary Cameron and General Tho
mas are now on a visit to the, West in order to ad
just the difficulty.
The Christian Observer.—The property of this
paper, which was recently suppressed for its treason
able sentiments, has been awarded to Dr. Converse,
its proprietor, by a decision of the U. S. Circuit
Court It is not known yet whether the issues of
the paper will be resumed, or what will be its future
course in regard to the rebellion. ,
Beaufort; South Carolina.—The necessity for
the seizure of this port by the Federal forces has
THE SOUTH.
been often discussed in certain quarters, and has
been said to be a seizure which would be highly ad
vantageous to the Government. It is situated in an
arm of the sea called Port Royal river, about fifteen
miles from the Atlantic, and immediately south of
the line of railroad, at. a, distance of twenty miles,
running between Charleston and Savannah, and would
afford an easy base for land operations against either.
Either could be much more easily taken by land ope
rations than from the sea. Its importance is then
by no means'to be undervalued in any fature series
of assaults upon these hot-beds of treason. The
great desideratum gained by an attack upon it is that
it can be taken with little or no loss of life, and can
he so fortified as to be held landward against a most
formidable force.
Alarm in the South.— The wholesome effect of
the naval expeditions now in course of operation,
following on the capture of Fort Hatteras, is being
felt very sensibly among the rebels of the South.
The greatest alarm for the safety of the seaboard and
Gulf States exist in all. quarters, which, it is said,
will result in the recall of a large portion of the re
bel army in Virginia for home defence. Already
Governor Brown, of Georgia, has ordered the recall
of five regiments for the protection of his own State.
A Rebel Blunder in Kentucky— A large body
of the enemy, in the vicinity of Paducah, committed
a blunder yesterday - moriqng, which surpasses any
thing of the kind of which,) the Union troops Rave
been guilty. Their force ffgs formed in two divisions,
and, in the excitement of their attack upon our
pickets, they fired upon each other. Startled by
this loud discharge, both parties fled, each supposing
that they had encountered Jour cavalry.
Breckinridge and Crittenden. —In Kentucky,
the rumor that John O. Breckinridge was shot by a
hardy mountaineer, is still-believed in some of the in
terior districts, but the statement of his escape into
Virginia seems too direct and circumstantial to be
untrue. John J. Crittenden has been doing gallant
service in rousing the people to a sense of their duty,
and in many districts they have nobly responded to
the appeals to their patriotism.
Another Affair at Hatteras. —A force of seces
sionists amounting to twenty-five hundred, recently
attacked an Indiana regiment, and captured about
seventy. Subsequently the Monticello having steam
ed around the cape, met a body of rebels march
ing down a narrow neck iff land to attack our troops.
The steamer immediately commenced throwing shells
among the rebels, which caused an immense loss.
The Months of the Mississippi— lt should not
escape notice that the UmtecfStates blockading squa
dron has dug a passage to the Sand Spit, which
commands all the mouths of the Mississippi, and
that works are being erected there which will abso
lutely control the communications of New Orleans
with the sea, and render future attempts to run the
blockade to that port utterly futile.
The Health of General Anderson— General
Anderson has been released from active service by
order of Lieutenant General Scott, in order that he
may seek, by rest, restoration to health.
VIRGINIA AND THE POTOMAC.
yestem Virginia.— Several brilliant and suc
cessful reconnoisances have recently taken place, in
all of which the Federal troops were successful
In one of these, General Reynolds drove the rebel
forces under Lee, from Big Springs, their former
rendezvous. A fight afterwards took place at Green
Brier, in which our troops acted in the most gallant
manner. A participant in the fight writes:
“Our loss is twenty—ten killed, and ten so badly
wounded as to beunfittedfor duty. Their loss is
terrible. The, groans of the, wounded could be dis
tinctly heard at our batteries, when the guns were
silent. The dead were seen strewn all over their
camp, and the lower trench was said to be full of
them.. Our fifteen hundred shells and exploded
shot made fearful havoc. some forty or
fifty were killed by our infantry in the first dash out
side of the fortifications. We took thirteen prison
ers—they none.
“ Gen. Reynolds accomplished all he sought by the
movement. His loss was small, and he now. tho
■ roughly understands the position of the enemy be
fore him. When he gets ready to move forward, he
can take that position without trouble. ’ ’
A Steady Advance. —Gen. M‘Clellari is making
a gradual and steady advance upon the lines of the
enemy. Regiment after regiment, and occasionally
whole brigades, strike their tents and advance a mile
or two toward the enemy, and then halt to fortify
their positions. -
On Wednesday morning, Leimnsmlle, and other
neighboring positions, were occupied by General
Smith’s division.
Lewinsville, which is situated about four miles
northeast of Vienna, is 'a litttervillage containing but
a dozen houses, and when our troops entered the
village, it was found to be entirely deserted.
It is expected that the grand army will soon make
a farther advance to Fairfax and Centreville, The
rebels will doubtless retreat as from Munson’s Hill,
and make a stand at Bull Run, as before. Stirring
events are at hand.
On Sabbath last, the 13th, the Union army was
placed in battle array, in expectation of an attack of
the rebels, but they did hot make their appearance.
No more Visitors to the Virginia Camps. —
For the information of many persons who come,‘ at
a great sacrifice of time, money, and personal com
fort, to Washington for the purpose of visiting their
relatives in the army on the Virginia side of the Po
tomac, Jt is proper to state, that as General M'Clel
lan considers such visits inconsistent with the good
of the soldier, as well as prejudicial to the success of
the army generally, he has, by positive orders, re
fused passes.
MISSOURI AND THE WIST.
Pursuit of Price,— Despatches from Jefferson
City announce the departure of Generals Fremont
and M'Kinstry, with their army, from that place to
wards the West, on Monday, October 7. It was be
lieved that General Fremont would continue to pur
sue the rebels under Price into Arkansas, if neces
sary, and that be was confident of the strength and
spirit of his forces to insure a victory.
It is thought that Price will not be able to escape
from the hands of Fremont, but wifi be crushed be
fore he reaches Arkansas.
There is a bare possibility that a junction between
Price and M’CuUoeh’s armies may be effected, which
will render them strong enough to risk a battle with
Fremont.
According to a rebel account, which, however, is
discredited by the Government, a naval engagement
took place on October 11th, at the mouth of the Mis.
sissippi, in which the U. S. sloop-of-war Treble was
sunk, and the other vessels driven on on the bar.
Items.— Governor Wise is seriously ill at Rich
mond His death is expected.—lt (is thought that
the rebels will winter in Richmond'.—-The War De
partment have-ordered the reihstateitfent of all the
officers of the Twenty-Fourth Illinois Regiment,
who were illegally discharged by General Fremont,
through the instrumentality of Colonel Hecker.
A large portion of the naval fleet dasigned to operate
on the Southern coast, has left New York for Anna
polis, where it is supposed a considerable body of
troops will be taken on board.—Southern papers re
port that Wilson’s Zouaves had a fight lately with a
body of rebels, and were beaten, though they admit
that they fought well.—The returns of the Pennsyl
vania election come in so slowly that it is scarcely
possible to tell the result. So far it would appear
that the People's Union ticket has been, for the
most part, successful.—The valiant Roger A. Pryor
is a candidate for a seat in the Rebel Congress.—

Breckinridge, with other secessionists, is organizing

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN
GENESSEE EVANGELIST.
A Weekly Religious and Family Newspaper,
Published every Thursday, ay No; 1334
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
Devoted to the Promotion of Sound Doctrine, Correct
and Elevated Moral Principles, and Pore Ke
ligion, as Taught in the Constitutional
Presbyterian Church in the
United States.
JOHN W. HEARS, - - * - - Editor.
The Americas Presbyterian was commenced five
years ago, .bytile Religious and Litejrgay 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 Prbsßyterian. 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 ana people are more
harmonious and more deeply interested than ever in
promoting its circulation among their congregations.
In proportion as these measures are successful, the
paper will be improved-in character and-increased in
substantial value and usefulness. The services of
some of the best religions 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 Eeligious Teacher,
The American Presbyterian will inculcate pure
morals and sound Scriptural doctrine; particularly a
true and firm adherence to the Standards of the Pres
byterian Church as being in all the essential and ne
cessary articles, good forms of sound words and sys
tems of Christian doctrine; this 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 church, 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 the spirit of Scripture, to divorce religion from
citizenship and the social relations of life. The
American Presbyterian has endeavored firmly, con
sistently and carefully to bring home to every citizen'
liis obligations, as laid down in Scripture, 1 to the State;
it has labored to revive and stimulate the flame of
patriotism towards our excellent Government—the
best temporal 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 iii
the slightest degree acquainted with its columns, need
not be informed of the consistent loyalty of its posi
tion. And it will continue 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 wliole Presby
terian Church in 1818.
As a Eeligious 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 readers will be thoroughly in
formed and 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 he, a narrative illustrating
effectively some moral principle or religious truth or
duty, for thejb.enefit $f 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 tbe truth from
the accumulated maBS of despatches and letters upon
the absorbing topics of the day. Every event of im
portance in the great struggle, now making its deep
mark in history, will be noted ; important documents,
speeches and sermons bearing upon the issues before
us, will be reproduced in 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
.Religious bodies to the same effect.
SYNOD OE 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 Religious paper,
advocating the principles, and tending to promote the
welfare of our 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,'and its circulation
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 Rev. John W. Hears, and
do most cordially commend it to the families of our
churches.”

Letter from Theo. H. Peters & Co.
Philadelphia, January 19, 1860.
Messrs. Far* el, Herring & Co.,
629 Chestnut Street.
Gentlemen:— We have recovered the Herring’s
Patent Champion Safe, of your make- which we bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins nt our
building, No. 716 Chestnut street, which was entirely
destroyed by tire on the morning of the 17th inst.
So rapid was the progress of the flames, before we
conhl reach the store, the whole interior was one mass
of fire. The Safe being in the back part of the store,
and surrounded by the most combustible materials, was
exposed to great beat. It fell with the wails of that
part of the building into the cellar, anti remained im
bedded in the rnins for more than thirty hours.
The Safe was opened this morning in the presence of
a number of gentlemen, and the contents, comprising
our books, bills,, receivable money, and a large amount
of valuable papers, are all safe; not a thing was touched
by file.
Respectfully, yours,
tHEO. H. PETERS i. CO.
: The above Safe can be sfeen at our store, where the
public are invited to call and examine it.

BTOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHOENIX
BITTERS.
These Medicines hate now been before the public for a period o«
THIRTY YEARS, and during that time maintained a high charac
ter, in almost every part of the globe, for their extraordinary and
Immediate power of restoring perfect health to persons suffering
under nearly every Mud of disease to sriiich the human frame is
liable.
The most horrible cases of SCROFULA, fn which the face, bones,
and limbs of the victim havetmen preyed.upon by the insatiable
disease, are proved, by the undeniable authority of the sufferers
themselves, to have been completely cored by these purely Vege
table Medicines, after all others have-been found more than useless.
Obstinate cases of PILES, of many years’standing, have rapidly
and permanently yielded to the same means, and other of like kind
are daily cured itr every part of the country.
Habitual, as well as Occasional CnsHveness, Zh/spcjpsia, Bilious and
Biter Diseases, Asthma* Drophf, Rheumatism, Fever and Affue,
Warms, Settled Pains to the Limbs,
Together with a long catalogue of other maladies, are shown, on
the same indisputable evidence, to be every where and invariably
exterminated by these mildly operating, yet sure and speedy re
sources of health and strength, without the usual aid of puffery and
az tificlal recommendations:,.
JBSF" "Moffat's Vegetable Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters M have thus
acquired a solid and enduring reputation, which bids defiance it,
c.ontradiction, and which is co-extensive with the American popu
lation. . >
Both the Live Pills and Phosnix Bitters are mild and agreeable
io their operation, and effectually cleanse the system of all impuri
ties without occasioning any prostration of strength, or requiring
any confinement or change of diet.

Tfflß SINGER SEWING MACHINES.
The marked, and ever extending, popularity of
SINGFR’S SEWING MACHINES, both in America
and Europe, is such as best to establish their superiority
over all others in the market. Sewing machines (so
called) may be bought, it Is true, for a smaller amount
of dollars, but it is mistaken economy to invest anything
in a worthless or unreliable article, and those who do
so must abide the consequence!
SINGER’S NEW FAMILY MACHINES.
In order to place THE BEST FAMILY MACHINES
IN THE WORLD within the reach of all, we have re
duced our . Letter A, or Transverse Shuttle Machines,
beautifully ornamented, to 650.
Singer’s No. 1, and 2, Standard Shuttle Machines,
both ,of very general application and capacity, and
popular both in thefamilyand the manufactory. Prices
respectively, from 6135 to $9O and 6100.
Singer’s No. 3 Standard Shuttle Machine, for Carriage
Makers and heavy leather work. Price complete, $ 125.
Also, to complete the list, an entirely new article,
unequalled for manufacturing purposes, noiseless, rapid,
and capable of every kind of work! Price (including
iron stand and drawers,) $llO, cheaper at that, in view
of its value, than the machines of any other maker as a
gift-
All of Singer’s Machines make the interlock stitch
with two threads, which is the best stitch known.
Jivery person desiring to procure full and reliable in
formation about Sewing Machines, their sizes, prices,
working capacities, and the best methods of purchasing,
can obtain it by sending for a copy of 1. M. Singer &
