S. minister was compelled to resign his charge (Park Avenue) by his disloyal elders. H. A. N., in the Evangelist, speaks of Mr. P. as “a most inoffensive, judicious, and every way exemplary minister,” and «iys he “has been compelled to resign a pastoral charge which he has held with much self-denial for a number of years, simply because his I prayers for the Federal Government have given offence.' This cruel persecution being noised abroad, soon led (though without any voluntary agency of Brother Paige) to the arrest and confinement in the military prison of three of his elders who found it impracti cable thus to treat a citizen without manifesting their disloyalty towards the Government of the United States. Two of them were soon released on taking the oath of allegiance. The other (a civil magistrate as well as an elder in the church) refuses to accept that condition of release, and is still kept in prison. He will be: treated humanely, and it is devoutly to be hoped that his resolution,will hold out, not'to take that oath until he can take it sin cerely and conscientiously." The same correspon dent says that a number of the St. Louis clergy of that branch of the church could not attend the meeting of their Presbytery, because they would not take the oath of allegiance required in pasting the lines. The Synod of Missouri, or so many as were present, (which was only about one-third,) unani mously condemned the action of the last General Assembly. Rev. J. J. Potter, of St Louis, a member of the Synod, protests strongly against that vote in a lucent St. Louis paper. The Youth of our Church.—' The Rev. Allen H. Brown, Stoted Clerk of the Presbytery of West Jersey, has sent ns a schedule of questions, pre pared and submitted by order of Presbytery to the sessions of the churches under its care. These questions are such as the following:—“What super vision or care is exercised over the.sehoolby the ses sion, officially? How many children and youth be tween the ages of five and eighteen are connected with the families of your congregation? How often and to whom do they recite the Shorter Catechism ? How many of them were baptised in infancy,?”—, /Standard. ” A Southern General Assembly— Several of the Presbyteries of the Old School Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States have held their regular fall meetings) and without exception have passed acts of separation from the General Assem bly of the Church, and appointed delegates to at tend at Augusta, Ga., on the 4th of next Decem ber, for the purpose of forming a General Assem bly of the Southern Confederacy portion of the de nomination.—Emngelmt. The Southern General Assembly. —Agreeably to the resolutions of the Presbyteries in Secession ilum, “The First General Assembly of the Old School Presbyterian Church in the Confederate .States" has been held in Augusta, Georgia. The Rev, Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, preached the opening sermon. — Barmer. Two Pastors have been compelled to leave charges in Louisville, Ky., on account of inadequate support. F. Senour was dismissed from the Fourth I'hurch (0. S.) on the 12th Nov., and Rev. J. H. Rice, D.D., from the Walnut Street Church some months ago. METHODIST. Methodist Statistics.— Number of members, *65,446; of probationers, 123.077—making a total of 690,447; being an increase of 9720 members, and a decrease ot 11,644 probationers. The number of members who have didd during the year is 10,376. The number of baptisms during the year was | 66,757, of which 32,349 were adults and 34,310 children. The whole number of travelling preach ers is 6937, of whom 771 are on the superannuated list The local preachers number 8369. There are 9922 church edifices, and 2763 parsonages. The in crease in the value of church property during the year is $524,116. lay Bepres«ntatiou.-Toting is now going on in the separate churches to test the sense of the people on this important point. The Christum Adr vacate says:—“ln Philadelphia, as elsewhere, the vote is very light, bat generally in ikvor of lay re presentation. Front Street, Philadelphia, and As- Imry, Wilmington, we noteas exceptions. BAPTIST. | Dr. Brantly in Prison.— We are informed by an intelligent member of the church of which Dr. Brantly was Pastor, in Philadelphia, says tire Bx •miner, that when his fomily reached Georgia, he was waited upon by a committee, and requested to take the oath of allegiance,to the Constitution of the fonfedorate.States, This he declined to do, and was then informed that ten days would he allowed bim to reflect upon the subject At the expiration of ten days the committee again waited upon him, when he again refused to take the oatin andwas then shut up in prison, where he still remains. , Open Communion. —There is a Baptist Church in Detroit conducted on this principle, the • * Observer saysln this church they celebrate the Wj's Supper every Sabbath-day, and cordially in vite all the friends of Christ in other communions to communicate with them. This practice of a’weekly observance of the ordinance is supposed to ac cordance with the example of the primitive Cnurc . Rev. Alvah Hovey, D.D., Professor of Theo.ogy i" hewton Theological Institution, has sailed tor Europe, with a view of being absent ten months in Ragland and on the continent. Dr. Hovey will Mxsnd most of the time in Germany, in pioseeutmg certain studios. . Methodist Chaplains and Officers.— Rev. J. F. Spence, of Milford Station, Cincinnati Conference! has been appointed Chaplain of the 48th Ohio Re giment, Col. Sullivan, now at Camp Dennison. D. W. Bristol, D.D., of the Oneida Conference, has been appointed Chaplain of the 26th New York Re giment. He was a member of the last General Con ference. Rev. Charles Strong, of the Genessee Conference, has been appointed Chaplain of the 2d Regiment of the regular corps of Pennsylvania Vol unteers. C. 0. Brigham, of Boston, a member of the senior class of Wesleyan University, and late orderly sergeant of the University Guard, has been promoted to a lieutenancy in Company K, 4th Con necticut Regiment. Rev. J. W. T. M’Mullen, for merly pastor of Trinity Chapel, Cincinnati, has been elected to and and accepted the Colonelcy of the 57th Indiana Regiment. Rev. J. M. Fuller, presiding el der on Genessee District, Genessee Conference, has accepted the Colonelcy of a regiment, and is to com mand the new military station, Camp Upham, at Le Roy. The venerable Glezen Fillmore succeeds to the vacant presiding eldership. Rev. T. F. Houts, of the Southern Illinois Conference, is Chaplain of the 22d Illinois Regiment, which suffered so se verely at Belmont, week before imi.—Christian Advocate. Editor. The law of Chaplains.— Act of July 22,1861. Sec. 9. And be tt further That there shall be allowed to eacH regiment ode chaplain, who shall be appointed by the regmental commander on the vote of the field officers and company com manders on duty with the regiment at the time the appointment shall he made. The chaplain so appointed must be a regular ordained minister of a Christian denomination, and shall receive the pay and allowance of a captain of cavalry, and shall be required to report to the colonel commanding the regiment to which he is attached, at the end of each quarter, the moral and religions condition of the re giment, and such suggestions as may conduce to the social happiness and mental improvement of the troops." The pay of a chaplain is thus equivalent to $145 50 per month, or $7O; four rations daily, which are commuted at 30 cents a ration; one ser vant, at $l3 permonth, and $2 50 for clothing; and three horses. — Independent. Commodore Dupont.— lt does not, in our esti mation, detract from his abilities, that he walks humbly before his God, as a Christian soldier and gentleman. No one has ever sailed with him who does not honor and love him,- while no ships ever exhibited better discipline than those which he commanded. He is always firm hut kind ; rigid, but lenient. No profanity ever polluted his lips, and no carelessness of living ever set a bad example to younger men who were serving under him.—PM. North American. " v Wm, P.Esbjorn, son of Rev. Prof. Esbjorn, of the Scandinavian Lutheran Synod, was a member of the Ist Illinois Cavalry, and fell at Lexington, Mis souri, bravely fighting for his adopted land. His age was hut 24 years 3 months' and 24'days. Who can refrain from shedding a tear over the grave of this early martyr for liberty, and at the same time offer up a prayer, that God would heal the broken heart of his stricken parents?— Exchange. Baptist Soldiers— We are informed that in the regiment of Col. S. Wallace Cone, whieh passed through this city on the morning of the 10th inst., there are no less than three companies of soldiers composed wholly of members in Baptist churches. The Colonel himself is a son of the late Dr. Spencer H. Cone, of New York.— Christian Chronicle. Severe.— As the Divine Logos, after many par tial and brief interviews with men, came at length in the full orbed radiance of his incarnation, so has tha - oltLsgrpant,. -aftar. centuries of more -modest wickedness, become, in his last desperate struggle .for humanity, incarnate in a Confederate army, ar-' rayed against all right, all order, and all Northern Christum Advocate. The Central Christian Advoeate of Oct. 30, gives the names of eighty-nine ministers of the Me thodist Episcopal Church, and one Southern Metho- The. Committee of Delegates from Young Mens’ Christian Associations met on the 14th in N. Y. city, and were welcomed by Rev. Dr. Tyng. Their object was to concert measures for meeting the spiritual wants of the army and navy. Mr. Geo. H. Stuart, of this city, was elected chairman. It was resolved, that a Christian commission con consisting of twelve members, to serve gra tuitously, be appointed—five of whom should constitute a quorum, with power to fill their own vacancies ; and that they should take charge of the proposed work, and appoint one or more secretaries I and agents, and as they might deem expedient, to prescribe their duties and fix their compensation such commission to report to the association and the public their disbursements and their proceedings „■ through the press. The following persons were sub sequently named as the Committee: Rev. Dr. Rol lin H. Neale, Boston; Charles Hammond, Esq., Boston: Rev. Dr. S. H. Tyng, New York; Hon. Benj. E, Manniere, New York; Rev. E. L. Janes, New York; George H. Stuart, Philadelphia; John P. Crozier, Phila.; Rev. Dr. M. L. R. P. Thomp son, Cincinnati; H. Thane Miller. Cincinnati; John B. Earwell, Chicago; Mitchell H. Miller, Wash-J ington; John D. Hill, M.D., Buffalo. The report also recommended the appointment of an army com mittee to have charge of the collecting, receiving, and transmitting of contributions of alLkindsfor the soldiers, and to he the medium of communion be tween the several associations and the commission, ; Addresses were made by Rev. L. C. Lockwood, late of Portress Monroe, who expressed his purpose to ,ti»Vp. Beaufort the next scene of his labors, Rev. Secretary Alvord, of the Boston Tract Society, Yin cent Collyer, and others. It was announced that the Army Committee named above, would convene in Washington in two weeks, to agree upon a sys tematic line of effort, and the Convention adjourned sine die with singing and prayer. A Role which should Work Both Ways. —A late Roman Catholic Assembly, which met in Mu nich, received a communication from a Roman Ca tholic missionary in the Grand Duchy of Mecklen burg-Strelitz, stating that he had just been fined fifty .dollars for baptizing a child without the per mission of the government. The Assembly very justly considered such a proceeding outrageous; but it must appear almost incredible that immediately I after giving vent to their indignation at the intoler ance of Protestantism, the Assembly listened with unanimous marts of approbation to a violent ha rangue, advocating the right of the Tyrolto expel all Protestants from its soil, and censuring the Aus trian Government for interfering with this relic of barbarism. Revival in Boston.— The revival at the North end seems to he on the increase. Salem Street Church, last'evening, was crowded, and at the close an unusually large number of inquirers : mmamei The season was one of great interest. AU over the room were persons sobbing aloud, apparently deeply convicted. Little groups of young persons were seated in different places, some rejoicing and some weeping. Rev. Mr. Hammond preached last eve ning, and others delivered short addresses. The deepest feeling pervaded thereat .^mbly.TMs evening Rev. Mr. Hammond, and Rev. Dr. Carru thers, of Portland, will speak in Salem Street Church. — Traveller, Oct. 23d. The Ministry Appreciated—One of the M. E i Bishops at a recent Conference said: ‘ The people ' do appreciate us; I insist upon it thatthe general ' judgment of the Church is correct. There pay be ABMY. MISCELLANEOUS. America# and Mmtut instances of error in this judgment, as there is in the particular judgments of individuals. The Church generally knows about what any of us is worth—un derstands our capacity, our power, our value. In telligent congregations are not going to sit and sim ply hear a man exhort or talk in a rambling manner about good things in general. They go to be in structed and edified, and they expect the minister to instruct and edify them.” _ The Abbe Fassaglia, soon as he reached the first town beyond the Pope’s dominions in Ms flight from Rome, was received with every demonstration of joy. The news spread like wildfire. He was overwhelmed with visitors, and serenaded; and every town he passed through witnessed similar scenes, much to his annoyance. The Rev. Charles Cleveland., city missionary in Boston, aged ninety years, was injured recently, by being run over by a carriage. . An Episcopal Union Prayer Meeting was held recently at Epiphany Church in this city. We believe it is sustained from week to week. §OWMtif jpwfl. THE NORTH. The Butler, Expedition.— -The Boston Junmed says that the splendid steamer Constitution was thronged with visitors on Tuesday last, Nov. 19; The avenue leading to, the vessel was crowded with carts, trucks, and drays loaded with supplies for the expedition, which were rapidly transferred to the deep and capacious holds of the Constitution. Among these were huge piles of flour, pork, beans, coffee, rice, and other provisions, and a large quan tity of building materials, suggestive of barracks for the troops. The three regiments ordered to go upon this steamer are the Massachusetts Twenty sixth,JColonel 3 ones; the Connecticut Ninth, Colonel Cahill, and the Maine Eleventh, Colonel SMpley. The Maine Regiment will embark at Portland. Thirty Vessels to he Sunk in Southern Har bors.—The stone fleet, not, however, with pomp or banners, sailed Nov. 20th, from New London, Conn. Twelve or fifteen vessels departed, all bound South and all laden with stone. A screw is fixed in their bottom wMch can he worked from the deck. When it is screwed out, the water, in a stream as big as a man’s leg, comes in, and the vessel is sunk The stone anchors it at the bottom. Our fleet is to be joined outside by a like one from New Bedford, wMch will make the whole number of the vessels about thirty. Six thousand dollars each have been paid by the Government for some of the best of these vessels. The fleet will be nnder the command of an old sea-dog, of whaling propensities, who has been appointed Commodore.— Cor. Evening Post. Justification in a Nutshell.— Far better than any legal opinion, upon the point whether Captain Wilkes was justified in arresting the arch-traitors 'Slidell and Mason, on board a British mail-steamer, is the declaration so publicly and decidedly made by the British Government at the commencement of -the war with Russia. Queen Victoria's declaration -of war contained this sentence: —“It is impossible fot Her Majesty to forego her right of seizing arti cles contraband of war, and of preventing neutrals front bearing enemies’ despatches.” — Press. Illinois Troops. —Illinois has 48,000 men in ac tive service. This, I believe, is 4,000 over her quota under the 500,000 call.. There are about 'B,OOO in camp in skeleton regiments and companies. Indiana has 36,000 in the field and several thou sand in camp. The two States foot up 84,0Q0, which is a large army, and, if well handled, ought to go far toward crushing out the rebellion. — Cor. of World. ■ ■:< The Federal Army. —It has been officially as certained that the Government has now jn the field and camp, am4Jji process of formation, six hundred thousand volunteers,' and the enlistments for the re gular service are more numerous than heretofore. Another David D. Porter, or cnu T7.~ a. jvavy,Ts in New York engaged m pre paring for another-ejepedition""W the - Southern Coast. There are now about eighty Goevmment vessels of various sizes in New York harbor. WASHINGTON AND THE POTOMAC. A Grand Review of the Army of the Potomac was held November 20th at Bailey’s Cross Roads. Seven full divisions were present, giving an aggre gate of seventy-six regiments of infantry, seventeen batteries, and seven regiments of cavalry. Tbe en tire body of troops assembled was about 70,000. The arPy was reviewed by the commander-in-chief in presence of the President and Cabinet, and the representatives of the foreign governments. The military display of the occasion exceeded every thing of the kind that has ever occurred on this continent. A correspondent of the World remarks: “This great review is without doubt preliminary to a general striking of tents. General McClellan has j told the paymaster-general that he must get through With the bi-monthly payment, as the regiments are to leave the neighborhood. Extraordinary-activity prevails in the transportation of ammunition and stores. There are other causes for expecting an im mediate movement, some of which I cannot state, and others of which must be seen by experienced eyes to be understood. And I repeat that, if we d.o go forward, the public may have confidence that it will be to decisive victory. ” , The Eastern Store of Virginia.—" The expedi tion of General Dix to the Eastern Shore of Vir ginia has thus far been entirely successful. His pro clamation, scattered through the country before the arrival of the troops, had favorably disposed the citizens for Ms reception. The Union men who had been drafted into the rebel service rebelled againßt their commanders, who find it impossible successfully to , resist the Federal force coming against them, laid dovgi, their The Federal flag is now floating in almost every part of Accomac county. ' Later intelligence states that the rebels of North ampton county, Virginia, have laid down their arms to the number of eighteen hundred, and that the Federal troops have now frill possession of that county as well as Accomac. This restores the whole of the Peninsula to the Union. ' . Despatches to General Dix, from Eastern Vir-' ginia, announce the capture of three rebel officers a captain and two lieutenants. Seven cannon were also captured. They are all new and in good order. All traces of disloyalty teem to have disappeared in Accomac and Northampton counties. County meet ings have been held to renew allegiance to the Federal Government. . The people will first adopt the State Government for Western Virginia as a temporary measure, and then look to legislation by that State and Maryland for annexation to the latter. Intercourse with Eastern Virginia.—A Balti more correspondent of the Inquirer writes, Novem ber 22: —“Intercourse has at length re-opened with Eastern Virginia. Several boats have already ar rived at this port from Accomac and Northampton counties, with cargoes of grain, oysters, and other provisions. The loyal Virginians are greatly pleased with the renewed commercial intercourte and the protection of Government The Union feeling is now almost universal throughout these counties, and those who were Mtherto inclined to favor the rebels have now espoused the Union cause.” The Emancipation Question. —Persons well informed say the Cabinet stands four to three against freeing the slaves, and putting arms in their hands to put down the rebellion. General Cameron, Secretaries Chase and Welles favor it, and Seward, Bates, Blair, and Smithioppose it. The most bitter opposition is made by Smith, Blair, and Seward. The President is understood to favor it, though he has not come out yet like the Cabinet members. » TffllpOUTH. Panic in*the South.- -A despatch from'Charles ton, dated Nov. 17, says: “ The unexpected failure of our shore batteries it Bay Point and Hilton Head to demolish, at east, one of the attacking vessels, has suddenly sh: cen the popular confidence in the efficiency of our gins against the monster fri gates and iron-clad gunl >ats wMch they may have again to encounter, and ow so alarmed are many of the sordid souls that ini st all the Southern cities, that the effect may alrea y be seen in the lengthen ing of freight trains wh >h leave almost hourly for the interior.” i In Savannah the pan] decided, whole neighbor! left deserted by the exo dren of those who are in the batteries at Savanna: Further in regard to ti the Memphis’ Appeal saj Mississippi will he made! seventy-five to one hund will reqi &l ; hear agj there is no time to be j Louis are bunding, and 4 ! six or eight gunboatsl hundred and fifty barges monstrations. together pouring into .Cairo by rk with significance, and is whole people to a sense o Worth Carolina—Th rolina, and there are a la patera counties, have fo rebels, though in favor ment: they have put t-1 practical operation and; the State.
