S., Dr. Ander son, of the First church, San Francisco, presented a mild, bnt sufficiently patriotic series of resolutions, whereupon the Moderator, Joshua Phelps, D. D., who lately left Beloit, Wis., in answer to a call to Sacramento, declared the paper out of order, saying “that as it was his bounden duty to conduct the bu siness of the Synod as far as possible in accordance with die Confession of Faith and Constitution of the Church, he felt bound to declare tbe preamble and resolutions of Dr. Anderson out of order in this Ecclesiastical Judiciary," etc., etc. Dr. Anderson appealed from the decision, and was sustained by the Mowing vote Ayes, 15; nays, (among which was S. Woodbridge, D. D.,-—reported as a secession candidate for the Legislature in Soalno county,} 4 Protracted debate was then had upon the'paper, after which it was passed by the same vote as above —l5 to 4. Dr. Soott’s Resignation. —The congregation of Calvary Church, San Francisco, formally accepted the resipation of the pastor, Rev. W. A. Scott, D. D. A long series of resolutions, laudatory of the re tiring pastor, was offered by H, H. Haight, Esq., and adopted nemine dtsstntiente. Mr. Burrows made a speech, in which Dr. Scott was vir tually declared to be the ablest divine, the most sin cere Christian, and the biggest-hearted man in the profession on this coast. The speaker boasted that he was the only minister of San Francisco who sym pathised with the retiring clergyman. Dr. RJ, Breckinridge.— The correspondent of the New York Times, writing from camp “Dick Robinson,” a Union camp in Kentucky, says:— “Rev, Dr. Breckinridge preserves the ancient repu tation of the honorable name, and is a frequent vi sitant to the camps, as well, it is said, as a frequent and valued counselor at the tables of the generals -id *JU The Doctor spoiled a 'ndid iral. lib abandoned W splent. general, when, Jong ago, law, and studied theology.” Rev. Dr. Van Santvoord has laid aside the pas toral crook for a season, and gone to the war as Chap lain of the Twentieth Ulster county regiment. His friend, the Albfmy patroon (Gen. Van Renssaelaer), provided him with a noble charger; and, his neigh bors did not allow him to “sell his garment” to buy asword, —lntelligencer. A Southern Chaplain,— lt is stated in one of our secular exchanges that the Rev. John H. Rice, D. D., late pastor of the Walnut street obureh, in Lou isville, has been appointed chaplain to one of the Mississippi regiments now in the field, and has ac cepted the appointment. We know nothing of the facts in the case, — Exch. Rev. Dr. Krebs, of the Rutgers street church, has declined the professorship to which he was elec ted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in the Northwestern Theological Seminary at Chicago. Rev. Wm, E. Hunt, who has rendered himself very unpopular by voting against Dr. Spring’s reso lutions at the General Assembly in Philadelphia, has resigned the pastorship of the Presbyterian Church at Coshocton, Ohio. Installation of Rev. H. Winslow, D. D— Rev. Hubbard Winslow, D. D., was installed October 30th, over the Northwest Presbyterian Church of New York oity, in Fiftieth street. METHOMST. The Anniversary of the S. S. Union, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was held in Provi dence, R. 1., last month. The report claims for bishop Asbury the honor of first introducing to-this country the "Robert Raikes” system of Sunday Schools, “with Mr. Wesley’Bimprovement.” Such a school he planted in Virginia when, as yet, the institution was unknown in America. He linked it to the church by disciplinary provisions, and sought to provide for it a suitable literature. But the, fee ble condition of the Church, with other causes inse perable from a vast country jn a of rapid set tlement, kept our Sunday School work In a'depress ed condition until 1844, wbeii the church began to apply her strength to its pfomotion.” The Union reports nearly 850,000 children, and 150,000 teach ers, a million in all. They claim to have a list pf 1300 hound and 1300 unbound .publications for the Sabbath School, betides requisites. The S. S. Ad vocate has a circulation of 200,000. . The charitable operations are also extensive. Its tight committees on applications for assistance, (located at New York, Boston, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati, San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon) are mostly com posed of benevolent laymen who do service without fee or reward. The total expenses are $13,000 per annum. Union Chapel, Cincinnati.— -The Religimts Te lucope, of Dayton,' Ohio, contains the following statement:—“TheUnioh Methodist chapel, in Cin cinnati—the most aristocratic Methodist church in the city—will not receive a minister from the Con ference unless he be, of their own immediate choice. In other words, if the conference will indorse their selection and let him remain as long as they want him, all right. The last Cincinnati Conference gent them Dr. George Crum} bpt when the doctor pre sented himself he was inform od, that they had a pas tor, traveling for his health in Europe. Mr. Crum appealed to the bishop; the bishop appealed to the congregation; the congregation declared they would not receive Dr, Crum: the bishop yielded, and Dr. Cram left.” lay Delegation.— The church in Pawtucket, R. I, has voted on this subject, fifteen for Lay delega tion, five against it. . The Methodist also reports the vote of Pottsville, Pa., for lay Representation, 16, against it 8; also, Eighteenth street church, New York, for, 36, against, 6; Thirty-fourth street, (Trinity) for, 29,, against, 1. Crane.— A special Washington dispatch states the resignation of Rev. J. L. Crane, chaplain of the Twenty-sixth Illinois regiment. He returns to the regular work of pastor. Editor. Rmr. Henry Waid Beecher’s .Theology.— The Independent having referred to a recently published sermon of Mr. Beecher’s, as complementing the de fective doctrinal utterances of former sermons the N. York Examiner says:—“ Now, looking at the statements of this complementary sermon, we regret to say that it leaves our impression of the preacher’s views concerning the atonement precisely where they were left by his sermon published in the Independent ofJuly 4. (Hat sermon denied with the utmost en ergy And unsparingly ridiculed, the doctrine of ex piation by the death of Christ. Has he retracted or modified that denial, or shown that the sermon did injustice to his real sentiments? So tar as we can see, he affirms in his . last-printed sermon no more than he affirmed then, and his denials are untouch ed. He then said, “Theologians have put forth the absurd notion that God has made a plan of salva tion. ’ ’ He pronounces ‘ ‘ this, talk about a plan of I salvation a mess of sheer ignorance, not to say. non sense.” He goes on expressly to deny that there is any proper justification of a sinner before God, or that in saving men he acts at all as a lawgiver or judge. “Sometimes,” he:says, “ men geem to'think that God acts first as a lawgiver, and then as a judge; and that when men are brought before him for trial, he says, ‘From reasons of redemption, and of the atoning mercy of Christ, I see my way clear to quash all proceedings, and to wipe out everything that is charged against these men, and set them free under the law.’ ” But this he pronounces untrue and un worthyofGod. ‘ ‘ The forgiveness of our sins is not from any legal consideration; .... it is simply from the nature of the heart of God. ” Such are his denials. In his last sermon he makes no retraction, of them—-he does hot even allude to them. $2 00 per annum. 2 60 “ Bishop Whittingham.—Bishop Wittingham, of Maryland, has fallen under the displeasure of the' Secessionists of his Diocese, and they threaten to arraign Mm before the Convention, which assembles in Baltimore. They have prepared preambles and resolutions denouncing him for bringing a war of slaughter and subjection on the people of Maryland, with having violated his solemn obligations when he accepted the Episcopate, declaring that he has lost the confidence of the Church in Ms Diocese, and asking for his resignation. If no more serious charges can he brought against the Bishop than Ms devotion to the Union and the lawful Government, we think he will survive. (Protestant Episcopal Convention.—The name of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the South has been settled up6n by the Convention now in ses sion Columbia, Southi, Carolina. It is the “Pro testant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States. ’ ’ This was propoj®d by Elliott, of Georgia. An Earnest Cry from orth NCarolina. —At a recent noon-day meetingin New York, the chaplain of Col, Hawkin's regiment, from Hatteras Inlet, North Carolina, said he had come North in compa ny with a pastor of that State, for aid to the most suffering creatures he ever saw. He referred to The inhabitants on the Inlet. They are a religious peo ple. There are six churches scattered along that strip of land dividing the sound from the sea. For merly the people got their,living by fishing, and with the main land people. But now their trade is out off. If the people are caught over the sound they are hanged. Men) women and children, are without shoes, and they are clothed in rags. They have no salt, or bread, or vegetables. They cannot eat or preserve these fish without salt He said whole congregations come to church without shoes. There are no shoes in the country. He had sent to General Wool, to the Secretary of War, and to the President for Sid to these people. The President said he could arm the people, and help them to de fend themselves,* but this was all that he could do. Tie people must see to it that they have bread, and they will see to it. The meeting was much moved by the tonehing words of the chaplain, and several sums of money were slipped into his hands by the ladies as they passed out. The chaplain says the poor of the South are in a dreadful condition of destitution and want. Rev. C. C. Goss, of the Army Committee, says: —“Almost daily We receive urgent appeals for reli gious journals and hymn books. To many of these we are unable to respond. This is painful in the extreme. Adapted as such means are to benefit the masses shut up in the seclusion of the camp, we can not withhold them without incurring a fearful re sponsibility. We appeal, then, to pastors, superin tendents, ladies’ associations, army committees, and the public generally, to aid in thus caring for the moral and spiritual interest of our volunteers. All contributions will be duly acknowledged.” CONGREGATIONAL. EPISCOPAL. ARMY. Synod of Wheeling. (O. S.)—This Body, by in vitation, visited Camp Carlisle, and after a review of the troops under command of Col. Anasansell, reli gious services were held—singing, prayer, and an address by Dr. Brownson. It was an interesting occasion. Synod also expressed its concurrence with the action of the General Assembly upon the min utes of the Synod of South Carolina; and folly ap proved said action, as the steadfast ground upon which our whole Church, North and South, has stood, during the greater part of her history. Ton Members of the Synod of Illinois, (0. S.) protested against resolutions of the Body approving tlie action of the General Assembly on the state of the country. Synod resolved, “That inasmuch as the protest signed ,by J. H. Brown and others,, em braces nothing, in either principle or expression, hut such as has been recently largely discussed; in all our Church courts and religious periodicals, Synod therefore deem it unnecessary to enter on the min utes any formal answer. Aohan in the Camp—The march that began with the proclamation that no fugitives would be harbored in camp, ended with the battle of Bull Run; and the President’s modification of Fremont’s Proclamation of Emancipation was quickly succeed ed by the surrender of Lexington. Who can help believing that every fugitive slave returned has been a wedge of gold, a Babylonish garment, which has cost us very dear? — Examiner. Religion in the Army.—Dr. Knowlton, of the Third Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers, vrrites to a gentleman in New York, that on Sabbath before last, seven of the men were baptised by sprinkling. The rite was administered by the chap lain, in the presences of the regiment drawn up in a hollow square. He, states also that sixteen others are inquiring what they shall do to he saved. Rev. WilliamH.Ruffiier— From information which seemed to he satisfactory, we stated that this clerical brother, formerly pastor of the Penn Square Presbyterian church, Philada., was a Captain in the rebel army. We are now enabled to say, on tbe best authority, that it is Mr. David L. Ruffner, and not Rev. Wm. H., that holds the position.—Ran ker, Pittsburg. ’ Rey. John Eaton, Jr., chaplain of the Twenty sevehtb* Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, was lately captured by the rebel forces in Missouri. Jtmniran and faxitttt irangdiist Among the Prisoners taken by Colonel Geary, in the late engagement at Bolivar, was the Rev. N. G. North, a member of the Presbytery of New Or leans, hut redding for several years in Charlestown, Virginia, the home of his fathers. Mr. North was chaplain of the rebel forces. Rot. N. A, Staples, (Unit. ) who has been for some time actively engaged in the duties of the chap laincy of the Sixth Regiment of Wisconsin Volun teers, has nearly lost his voice in speaking in the open air, and in the exposures of camp life, and has been compelled to take a leave of absence. § L #»MtK gjktVK. THE NORTH. Otir Army.— The New York Herald gives a table estimating the Union land forces to number five hundred and twelve thousand men This is not an exaggeration. The number assigned to Pennsylva nia is understated, probably, by as much as twenty ttyusand. Nor do we find any account of loyal troops in Western Virginia. The London Times computing the Northern forces at from 350 to 400,- 000, and the Southern at 250,000, is amazed at the spectacle. It says, ‘‘a country which twelve months ago contained not so many troops as might be seen in any garrison town on L the RMne, has now under arms as many soldiers as the French Empire. ” The United States Gazette says:—“The total now in arms under the Stars, and Stripes is equal to that of the French army; and if the rebels, have 300,000 men under arms, the aggregate on* both sides is SOO,- 000. No nation, in Europe has such an army, in case of war, except Russia. Under the first French republic, when the frenzy impelled the rulers to the levy en masse, there was a greater army raised, but in our case no such levy has been resorted to. The enlistment has been purely voluntary. Seamen and Soldiers.—Since the bombardment of Fort Sumter about TOGO seamen have been booked in the New York, and 29,000 at other naval rendez vous —WasMngtyn, PMladelpMa, Boston, Ports mouth, Buffalo, etc.,— making an aggregate of 36,- 000 men. The number of men enlisted in the regu lar army during the same time is approximately as follows: For general service, 2000: for the nine re giments of infantry, one of eavaliy, and one of ar tillery/ 10,000 —making a total of 12,000. The Elections in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, have resulted in the triumph of the Union and Republican tickets. General Baker’s remains were received in Phil adelphia with military honors, on Thursday, the 7th of November.' WASHINGTON AND THE POTOMAC. Important Military Changes.—Since the re tirement of the veteran General Seott, it is under stood some important military changes have been made. No alteration will take place in the programme of the campaign, which meets General Scott’s un qualified approbation. Thirty-nine out of forty offi cers favored General McClellan taking command of i the army, without regard to precedence or rank. General McClellan finds very little time for deep. He is hard at work day and night. He. is much an noyed by people at a distance writing him frivolous letters, evidently for the purpose of obtaining his autograph. He has no time to answer nonsensical letters. He is not in want of any farther assistance on his. staff, and applicants- can save themselves much trouble by not writing for such positions. A dispatch from Western Virginia, of the 10th instant, says that General Rosenerans and his com mand are in.fine condition, and prepared to receive . flip pnpW.,> f>n<T rrll'nrinp may .Bnto.alii and the commander is confident of success. General Halleck has not, as yet, been assigned to a position. It is believed that he will remain here to become thoroughly acquainted with the general plans ’of the Gommander-in-Chief, whose policy ap pears to be, while acting with a view to the good go venmient and efficiency of the army, to render his appointments, changes, and transfers, entirely agree able to those directly concerned in them. Honor to Gen. McClellan—The German por tion of the volunteers of the Army of the Potomac, principally belonging to General Blenker’s brigade, design having a torchlight procession in Washing ton, in honor of General McClellan’s succession to the command of the armies of the United States. . The Recent Battle at Gahley Bridge, in West ern Virginia, resulted in a repulse of the rebels, in which they suffered great loss. THE SOUTH/ The Storm at Hatteras.—lntelligence from For tress Monroe of Nov. sth, states that the storm was terrific at Hatteras Inlet. The sea washed over the peninsula joining Fort Hatteras to the main island, and both forts being earthworks, topped with the turf, were washed and gullied by the storm. The Twentieth Indiana Regiment, at Fort Clark, had its storehouse washed away by the torrent coming down from the hill in the rear. Camp Wool and Fort Clark are separated by swollen .rivulets. Both the Ninth New York and Twentieth Indiana Regiments suffered severe losses in stores. Fort : Hatteras re mained an island at the departure of the steamer. The large gun (10 inch columhiad) on the beach, had its platform) undermined, so that it is tempora rily useless. The troops feel discouraged; and wish to abandon the post, hut no doubt their excellent General (Wil liams) will do wonders for them in raising their spir its, and directing their efforts to Speedy repair (as far as may he) of the damage; v • The Theodora. —Late Southern,papers announce the. arrival of' the steamer Theodora, at Savannah, with a valnableltargo of coffee,‘Sifindnition, saltpe tre, sulphur, and small anus. The Theodora also brought as passengers the ex-United States Minister at Brazil, Mr. .Meade, and Capt. S. J. Short, of the British Navy, who had tendered Ms services to the rebel government. The Theodora, it will be remem bered, is the vessel wMch- escaped the blockade with Mason and Slidell. The Vote for the President am} Vice-President of tne Confederate States, wMch was to be taken-on the 6th instant, was expected to he small, and it was thought that Davis and Stephens would encounter hut littie opposition. MISSOURI AND THE WEST. General Fremont’s Removal. — The official news of Fremont’s removal reached him at Spring field, on the 2d instant. It caused great excitement among many Of the officers and men under Ms com mand. A great number of the officers signified their intention to, resign at once, and many companies kid down their arms, declaring that they would fight un der no one but Fremont. The General spent much of the afternoon expostulating with the officers, and urging them by their patriotism and their personal regard for Mm not to abandon their posts. In the course of a patriotic address to the soldiers, he said: —“Continue as you have begun,'and give to my successor the same cordial and enthusiastic support with wMch you have encouraged me. Emulate the splendid example which, you have already before you, and let me remain.as I am, proud of the noble army which I had thus far labored to bring together. Soldiers I regret to leave you most sincerely. I thank you for the regard and confidence you have invariably shown to me. I deeply regret that I shall not have the honor to lead you to the victory which you are just about to win; but I shall elaim to share with you in trust always to be fi| companions-in-arms. ’ ’I mont’s command, say® troops at his removal | General Hunter assi excitement has since » St, Louis, with his, h serve under another!] Price and McCulloch Springfield, and a batf Major Finney, one 6 took away the specie Springfield, on leaving Louis.
