D.—lt is with sin cere sorrow that we announce the decease of the Rev. William M. Scott, D. D. Professor, in the Northwestern Presbyterian Theo logical Seminary at Chicago. Dr. Scott was born in Ohio, in the year 1817. Re graduated at Jefferson College, Pennsyl vania, and studied law for a year in Kentucky, after which he entered the Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey. Here he remained three years, gradbating in'lB46. In 1847, he was elected Professor of Languages in Centre College, Danville, Kentucky, and. subsequently pastor of the First Presbyterian church in that place. In 1856, he took charge of the Seventh Presbyterian church in Cincinnati, Ohio, and when the new Seminary for the Northwest was organized by the General Assem bly of 1859, ho was chosen one of its professors. His health has been declining for several months past, and he died in Princeton, New Jersey, on Sabbath morning i the 22d of last December., aged forty-four Years; Old School Presbyterians in Missouri,—Not all the Old School Presbyterian Churches of Mis souri are disloyal. The chuich in Kirkwood records its dissent from the declaration of the Missouri Sy nod against the General Assembly in the following resolution : ReBolved, By the members and supporters of the Presbyterian church in Kirkwood, that we utterly dissent:Trom the action of the Synod for the follow ing reasons : " Bdeause we believe the action of the Synod 'cal culated to foster and encourage the spirit of rebel lion; no 4 so deplorably rife in our afflicted State. " Second, Because in our judgment the action of the General Assembly, was extremely mild and con ciliatory, eminently scriptural, in accordance with the spirit and letter of our Confession of Faith ; and as far as concerns ourselves as citizens of the United States, and members of the Presbyterian Church, but a declaration of our simprduty arrnembere.and Christians." __Duttknt Am, S.

This brother was among the most excellent offour ministry—a most estimablelhati, an able preacher, and an active friond of all the;anter prises of the church. He wasplace as alnem her of' '-the Board. of Superintendents of the Alle gheny Seminary, at the opening of the present ses sion. He was then in good health, and full of en:- orgy.' Now; in a few short weeks, he is numbered with the dead ; and in no recent death has our church suffered a greater loss—United Presby'n. Rev. Charles Wedstvorth, D. D.—The Presby terian says the Rev.

The Publication Society and Slavery.—An attractive Pamphlet of some seventy pages has been . placed in our hands bearing the imprint of the American Baptist Publication Society. Upon turn ing over its pages, we find it to be - a treatise u on "Slavery and slaveholding in the United States," and the author, the Rev. George W. Aanderson. This pamphlet has a double interest and value when it is looked upon as the _exponent of the views and policy of the noble Society. the s al of whose in- Ed tor dorsement is upon its title-page. Although this tract has just made its appearance, the circumstances which led to its preparation date back to 1859—'60. In February, 1861. the Board asked the Society for special authority and appropriation to publish a suitable work on American Slavery. At the anni versary in May, the Society granted in spirit the re quest, by the passage of the following : " Resolved, Thgt it the Province tuad duty of this Society to, eunciate the law of God on slavery, as well as upon other sins." The tract under review is the first which has been presented which met the approval of the Committee ofPublication. Thus the American Baptist Publication Society, . . already on, record as to her. position, gives in clear and earnest tones her convictions and her policy on this momentous subject. The step, we doubt not, will meet with the disapprobation of some, but its wisdom will be generally commended. And the Society can afford to brave some of man's opposi tion where they may so confidently rely upon all of God's approval.—Phila. Chronicle. $2 00 per annum, 2 60 " ifftrearrnel, 111. The Evangelical' , Lutheran ChUrch in this place, which has been most unhap pily ,distracted fOr years past, has united an Rev. J. 31.

N. Baum has accepted a unanimous call from. St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran'church, York, Pa., recently under the care of Rev. Dr. Os wald, and will enter on his new field of labor with the beginning of this year. Rev. W. W. Bowers, the first English Lutheran minister that ever labored in Nova Scotia, went thi ther about four years since, and has been eminently successful in preaching at Lunenburgh and Bridge water. President. Brooks, of the Hemline University located at Red Wing, Minnesota, writes : • More than fifty once connected with the school, are now in the di erent regiments of the State. If we can hold our way at all through these stormy tithes, -we shall do well. Yet with all this, the number in -at tendancs this fall term is Sixty-six. - Three College classes—freshmen, sophomore; and junior arein operation, and thirty are in the two preparaMry classes. The success of the University is only a question of time. It will outlive all its embarrass ments. - ; The church will not let it die : its agency* , is too 'mob, needed. It has already done too much to be forgotten." The University graduated its first class in 185 e Rev. D. Teed, Methodist chaplain of the Forty- : sixth Illinois Regiment, recently visited the prin cipal centres from which the volunteers had gone, for the purpose of procuring a chapel -tent for his soldiers, and they gladly 'fdrnished the means for a tent 64x45, which is made, and will be in camp next. Sunday, and like the tabernacle of old, will accom pany the troops on their march. . - There are six Methodist preachers in the Fifty seventh Indiana Regiment. The Colonel is Rev. J. W. T.

Mr. Barnum has tendered the use of the lecture room of his Museum to the Christian Alliance of, New York for a union prayer-meeting on the last night of the old year.. We learn that it is to begin at eleven o'clock and close at one. Preaching is to take place every Sabbath at three o'clock by the Alliance in the same room. , Preaching in theatres in o London has been productive of much good. We hope it may be so here. Blinietefs Exempt' from Toll—ln an English ' of tll tenear' court not long since, the keeper a o Worksop, was fined with costs for collecting:toll of Rev. Thomas Shaw, a Wesleyan circuit preacher. The hearing;of the case lasted three hours, and the, bench, after a long consultation, 'came to the con cluaion that ministers are exempt when they are traveling the circuit on the Sabbath. Rev. John E. Annan, son of. Rev. Wm. Annan, of Pittsburg, and grandson of the:lite Rev. Robert Annan, who had much to do with the organization of the Associate Reformed ChUrch, having been constrained to leave Charlottesville, Virginia, on the breaking out of the present war; has been called to become pastor of tha First Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati, Ohio. Williams of Erromanga.—Rev. T. S. Williams has been ordained as assistant minister of the Con gregational chapel, Rocking, England. He is son of the eminent martyred missionary, Rev.

In. the House, the Committee on the Judiciary was instructed to report a bill, providing that any person or persons engaged or employed in the pre sent rebellion be forever rendered incapable of hold ing any office or trust under the Constitution and laws of the United States. The Committee on Ter- ritories was directed to inquire into the expediency of establihing Territorial Governments within the limits of the disloyal States or districts, and report by bill or otherwise. in the Senate, on the 26th, Mr. Hale presented 'a resolution of inquiry on the pending diScussions be tween our Government i an.d that of Great Britain, and made a very warlike speech. Mr. Sumner re plied, expressing his belief that the whole matter would be honorably and amicably adjusted. The resolution was laid over. Kentucky _Legislature Ready to Give Up . ) Favery Rather than the Government. —A little incident that occurred during the caucus debates on Federal re lations, illustrates the temper of its members, The probability that the war would end in the destruc tion of slavery was alluded to. The strongest pro slavery man in the Legslature,, and. one of the larg est slaieholdera Kentrieky, arose and said, •" As to that, sir, I wish to say, here in my place, that if the question comes to that, though I think it need not, but, if it comes to that I Will willingly lose every slave in my possession rather than see Ken tucky prove false to the Government!
