Inklings of a Union Feeling.—The Presbyter, in a recent number says: Our New School brethren, under an ecclesiastical necessity, have taken the ground (?) occupied by us on church order, which led to the division of the Church in 1837. They have adopted the principle of ecclesiastical supervi sion, and have separated from the Home Mis sionary Society : and as they profess to hold to the same standards with us, the opinion naturally pre vails that there is now no cause of division. This feeling has been growing for several years, and would have produced wider results, had it not been that, although the New School had made no advance on slavery, it was nevertheless believed, that we had receded in our public sentiment, if not on the re ,cord. The action of the last Assembly, reaffirming the action of 1818, and disapprov ng of the records of the Synod of South Carolina, which was voted for by almost every member from the North, has entirely relieved our church from all suspicion of retrocession on the vexed question. The . Standard refers to the new Assembly of the South, and comments on it as follows : A. General Assembly of the Old School Presbyterian Churches of the South has met at Augusta, and elected Dr. McFarland, Moderator, who presided over the Gen eral Assembly of 1856. Southern papers express the expectation that the common opposition to the North may lead to a union of all the Presbyterian denominations of the South. Whilst it is sad to think of the union of denomi nations for such a reason as " common opposition" to any Christian community; opposition, too, root ing where this does, we certainly would not object to see all the Presbyterians of the North from a higher and holier motive show that fas est cloceri aL hoste. What a glorious church they would make ! The Southern Convention of Presbyterian Church es was in Session December, 1860, at Augusta Ga. : It was determined that the title of the new body should be, " The General Assembly of the Presby terian Church in the Confederate States of Ame rica." Standing committees, consisting of nine nerSons.izere_anta_nte nn eign Missions, Do meStio Missions, Educatiorr first was located in Columbia, South Caralina ; the second in New Orleans, Louisiana; the third in Memphis, Tennessee'; the fourth in Richmond, Virginia. It was expected that Dr.-J. Leighton Wilson would be the Secretary for Foreign Missions, and the Rev. Dr. Leyburn, a fornier associate izt the Presbyterian, Secretary of the Committee on Publication. Memphis, Tennessee. was chosen as the place, and the first Thursday of May, 1862, as the time of the regular meeting of the General As sembly. Cumberland College, Ky.—The rebels have possession of this old seat of Cumberland Presbyte rian learning, at Princeton, Ky., using it as quar ters for a part of their army. We learn by our New York exchanges that the late President, Rev. H. W. Pierson, D.D.. who is a true, loyal man, is in that city, and recently delivered a lecture before the New York Historical Society, on "Jefferson at his own Home," which was listened to with the deepest interest by a crowded assembly. The lec ture is said to have been one of marked ability and eloquence. Minister Deceased.—The Rev. Henry Ruffner, D.D., LL.D., died, on the 17th ult., at his resi dence, in Kanawha county, Virginia, in the seventy third, year of his age. Dr. Ruffner was formerly President of Washington College, Va., and during his long life had filled, worthily, many positions of honor and usefulness. He was a man of extensive and accurate scholarship, an impressive preacher, and a firm and honest adherent to all his convictions and opinions. Rev. B. Bauman, late editor of the German Reformed Memenger, and author of one of the best books of travel in the Holy Land extant (Sinai and Zion,) was installed as pastor of the First German Reformed church, Chambersburg, Pa., on Sunday the 22d day of December. +Rev. Lewis Cheeseman, D.D., formerly of Western New York, and for several years pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church in this city, died on Saturday, the 21st ult., in the 59th year of his age. Rev, Wm. Hoge, who was associate pastor with Dr. Spring, in New fork, until a few months past, when he resigned, is' now the pastor of the Presby terian Church in Charlottsville, Va. Methodist. X,sy Delegation,—One of our Methodist ex changes says: "It has been said that the feeling of the aural), for Lay-Delegation is nfined` to the large cities ; so far from this bei case, when any interest is felt at all in rural `. :cts, the vote nearly always goes in favor of the reform." Kentucky Conference, E. Church, South.— This body has sixty-four Union, and only eighteen or twenty secession members, not one of whom is delegate to the next General Conference, South, at ite May session in New Orleans. U;dvereity at Auction.—The North Illinois University, (Methodist Protestant,) costing origin ally $20,000, is to be sold on a debt of $5OOO. Army and Navy. lairfax and Mason.—Rev. W. C. Steele, of the Bleeker Street Church, Utica, remarked in his thanksgiving discourse :--" When I read of the noble deed, and found that Lieut. Fairfax has ar rested a Mason, I remembered the antecedents of these men. The Fairfaxes were Roundheads, the Masons, Cavaliers. I remember well in my boy hood days seeing Sir Thomas Fairfax as he walked through the streets of Alexandria; with his pow dered lair and silk stockings, with silver knee buckles. I saw him once receive a letter directed to him as "Lord" Fairfax, and, as he manifested his republican feelings by tearing it in pieces before even perusing it, I honored him in my heart. And here, while we see the descendant of Sir George Mason, true to hereditary instincts, on the side of oppression and aristocracy, we also see the old Crom wellian spirit in the Fairfax, on the side of God and right." Editor Services of the Roundhead Regiment,—A correspondent at Beaufort writes as follows:—" We were leisurely strolling through the streets, when suddenly the glorious notes of Old Hundred" burst on our ears. The extreme quiet of the town, the gentle sighing of the moss-grown oaks, the full, deep tones of the organ, and the powerful voices of the singers as they joined in the hymn, caused a thrill of unusual pleasure to pass through our minds. Proceeding in the direction of the sounds, we were led towards the Baptist church, and such a scene as met our eyes has not been witnessed since the days of the Revolution. The glittering muzzles protruding from the windows and the stack of drums without, proclaimed the nature of the exercises. On entering, a grand, a novel sight presented itself. Over the pulpit, from which treason had so long been preached, hung in graceful folds the regimental colors of the Pennsylvania "Roundheads." Thank heaven ! sons of the Keystone State heard the first Union sermon preached on the redeemed soil of South Carolina, and that by a " Hessian" chaplain. The discourse—founded on the fifth verse of the 20th Psalm—was able and highly appropriate. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Dennison made beau tiful allusions to two of the former pastors—Rev. Dr. Lathrop, of the Tabernacle Baptist. Church, New York and Dr. Richard Fuller, of Baltimore. After the.benediction, three patriotic cheers were given, the "Roundheads" and Michigan Eighth fell into line, and marched to camp in fine order." $2 00 per annum 250 4{ The " Christian Commission" of the various Y. M. C. A. Associations, are holding meetings in our chief cities, with the view to excite a proper degree of interest in the spiritual condition of the army, and to secure a supply of suitable literature and its distribution in the camps. A large meeting was recently held in Tremont Temple, Boston. Mr. George H. Stuart, the chairman of the Commission, was present, and delivered an address, in which he dwelt earnestly on the important duties which this organization must perform. He said : " With the navy, the whole number of men now in the service of our Government in its endeavors to put down re- bellion, will reach very nearly 700,000 men. The influence which may be exerted upon this vast mul titude is almost incalculable. It extends. to the battle-field and even beyond that, into eternity itself. It is a question also, whether •we will have these men come back to us degenerate and de graded or under the impulse of Christian purposes. Through the kind sympathy of the President and other officers of tie goverment, it is also a most ac cessible field, and the men, whatever might have been their dispositions at home are now ready and and willing to listen to the Gospel and its teachings. They all want books to read, and in two weeks spent in distributing tracts among them he had met with but two who refused to take them. 'The men have four or five hours leisure each day and must have something to occupy their time. Some of the Chap lains have orgq ni zed union prayer meetings, debating societies and singing schools in their regiments, which are largely attended, and are occasions of much in terest to the soldiers. The men of the Massachusetts Fourteenth hold a prayer meeting each day in one of the bomb proofs of the fort which they occupy, and the average attendance is sixty or more. Rev. Dr. Kirk and others followed, and a collection was taken up. Chaplains Exchanged.—Rev. Mr. Mines, of Bath, Me., chaplain of the Second Maine Regi ment, who was taken prisoner at the Bull Run battle, arrived at Washington week before last, re- Ng.II7IZIMOIC,iIVOrder to effect anewhat,.. for — Trevr=m - rrorttrrorrrrm=anw, • who was captured in an engagement near Harper's Ferry, and who has been confined at Fort Warren, was immediately released and passed through this city on his way home. We had a call from Mr. North, who stated that, with the exception of a short time while in confinement at Bedloe's Island, he had been treated with the utmost kindness. While at Fort Warren he had preached every Sab bath to hi: fellow prisoners, and had spent his time in endeavoring to promote their spiritual welfare. Mr. North was not acting as a chaplain when cap tured, but like Mr. Ely at Bull Run, was merely a looker-on.—New York Observer. Rev. J. B. Walker, author of "The Philosophy of the Plan of Salvation," is delivering his course of lectures in the Chicago (Congregational) Theological Seminary, on the "Connection between Science and the Bible." His home is with the colony of Benzo ilia, Michigan, where land has been taken for a hun dred families; one quarter of which is reserved for the endowment of Grand Traverse College. Provi sion has been made also for a Congregational church, for a parsonage, a college farm, common schools, and for other purposes. The crolony now numbers thiity families. Mr. Walker has devoted himself to the labors of an author, and has lately issued a work in England, which is soon to be re-published in this country. Rev. J. L. Dunmire, D. D.—We have learned, says the Christian Chronicle, of this city, through what we believe to be the most reliable sources, that letters have been received from Dr. Burrows, of Richmond, stating that his two sons and son,:in-law perished at the battle of Bull Run. One on was brought back dead, the other, reported at the time severely wounded, has never been heard from since the day of the battle. Rev. Samuel H. Turner, D. D., Professor of Biblical Learning in the General Theological Semi nary of the Protestant Episcopal. Church, New York, died on Monday, the 23d ult., in the 72d year of his age. liore. Exhibitions of Liberality.—Scenes of deep interest occurred at Ahmednugger, Weitern India, in connection with a meeting of the Mahratta mission, in October, of which accounts from several: sources have appeared in the Bombay Guardian. There was liberal giving, such as there had been_ previously among the Nestorian and the Madura Chriatiaps.; and as in those cases, the contributions seemed to be prompted by love to Christ and his cause, quickened by special influences of the Holy Spirit. Respecting the contributions which amounted _to several hundred ,rupees, one writer says " Many gave, or pledged, gold and silver rings, bangles, and other ornaments common among the natives. Ami , mils also were given, —a horse,; eggs ; a turban ; a book, a month's wages; half ' month's wages; three months' wages, etc. Thus it went on for an hour," on Friday ; and the next day, it is said, " The scene of yesterday was repeated with increased interest." " There was a deep feeling of unworthi neFs. of contrition, for past neglect of duty, and love to the Saviour, which was one of the most hopeful features of the movement." Passaglia has been appointed by the Government Professor of Philosophy and Catholicism in the Uni versity of Turin; where he is making a great stir, and becoming the centre of a strong party among the clergy. Another Abbe, named Perfetti, tas is sued a. pamphlet which will. be as celebrated. as Passaglia's. It says :—" The edifice of Papal do mination is absolutely rotten ; let the foreign prop Miscellaneous. Foreign. gittobttettait 1.4 tureen erattgrliot be removed, and it will fall at onee, without resist ance and without noise. —Church. Journal. German Colony at Amasia, Turkey.—What aid may be rendered by a pious and liberal colonist to the cause of Missions, even though he be un connected with the mission itself, appears from the account given by Rev. Dr. Dwight in the Missionary Herald of this month, of a visit which he paid to the above place. He says : On arriving at Amasia, I went directly to the house of Mr. Krug, a German merchant residing there. Shortly after, Mr. Leon ard arrived from Marsovan. Mr. Krug, who has always been a warm friend of the missionaries, gave us a hearty welcome. He has been here more than twenty years, and has charge of a silk-winding fac tory and a flouring-mill, both carried by water. There is quite a little German colony here, connected with these establishments, and some at least of its members, appearto be earnest, religious men, whose influence must be good. Mr. Metz, the chief pro prietor, is eminently of this character ; and although he does not reside upon the ground, he makes occa sional visits, and has already done much to promote the religious interests of the colony, and also of the people around. One of his last works of benevo lence was to bulk! a chapel and school-house, with rooms for the teacher, etc., and now he allows the Protestant Armenians to make use of it, both for their services on the Sabbath and for their school during the week---he himself partly supporting their teacher. Germany.— No Time to Read.— The poo amongst us are plagued with work up to a late hour at night; and during the scant allowance of time which they got for rest, are not disposed to read. The afternoon of Sabbath, if even that time is not devoted to labor, is employed for worldly relaxation. You very seldom find people then occupied with a sermon or an edifying book. It is enough to make the heart bleed, to see how much they suffer, both spiritually and intellectually, and how a life of labor and penury deadens them to all nobler emotions and aspirations.—News of the Churches. Power of Rome Waning.—ln Wurtemberg the Concordat with Rome is completely abolished; and the debates in the Chambers show that no other similar compact is likely to be made. A mixed com mission will manage the funds of the Roman Catholic Church in Baden. The Committee of Council in Austria has proposed an enactment, by which liberty equal to that of America should be guaranteed to every religious confessions. The High Lutheran Party in Germany are Tier haps quite as averse to union with' the Calvinists as would be the papists themselves. A late exhibition of this spirit is seen in the refusal of the Theologi cal Faculty of the Lutheran University of Erlangen to readmit the profund Ebrard to his-professorship which he had temporarily resigned and wished to resume. How far confessionalism, is going, may be seen from the case of a Lutheran pastor in Cassel, who has a band of little boys, with black mantles ornamented with a white cross, to assist him in dis pensing the communion. Pastor Harms' Ship left Hamburg, Nov. 19th, on its fourth missionary trip to Port Natal, taking with it a large number of missionaries and colonists. It has been very consillerably enlarged, and will now be able to accommodate the wants of the African mission. Madagasear.=-The Prospects of PrOtestantism. —The London Patriot calls the attention of its read ers to the French scheme of establishing a protector ate over Madagascar. It says: "The Rev. W. Ellis and Mr. Lyons McLeod have had an interview with Earl Russell, on the subject of Madagascar, and we are satisfied that the importance of maintaining thd independance of King Radama, and of preventing Frenbh schemes of aggyandisement in the island, are fully understood at our Foreign Office."

He imml4tebt.--sprum)o4-- to the Judicid - Comiruffee Of the Privy Council. ( : !lototofir ft-ttio, The North The X. Y. Chamber of Commerce recently adopt ed a resolution to propose a memorial to Congress; asking for the speedy passage of effective laws, by which equal taxation can be levied on the several States. Also a judicious system of excise, to sus tain the public credit. and form a stable basis for the ultimate liquidation of the public debt. The private letters from London and Liverpool banking houses, received last week, are mostly of such a character as to warrant the belief that, as 'soon as the news is received of the Mason and Sli dell surrender, the bitter feeling towards America will be succeeded by a stronger desire than has yet existed in England to show rno more favor to the rebels than they are in common fairness entitled to. A Committee of representatives of the N. York City Banks, went to Washington recently, to confer with Secretary Chase on the financial policy which should be adopted by the Government. WASHINGTON AND ThEPOTOMAO The President's Reception;—Avast concourse was present at the President's levee on the let inst The members of the Supreme Court, theForeleigi nisters, including Lyons and M. Mercier; with` their ladies, the'officers of the army andnavy, hea:ded . by Gen. McDowell, a nd civilians, iorgreat numbers, were present Gen.-McClellan, being still indisposed, did not attend. - Among the prominent visitors was Major W. F. M. Amy, successor of Kit Carson, United States • Indian Agent in New Mexico. He wore a full suit of buckskin, made in the Mexican style, elegantly enibroidered with silk and beads. He privately pre sented to Mrs. Lincoln a splendid blanket as a New Year's offering. It is an evidence of the taste' and skill of the Rocky mountain Indians. Thii blanket, was made by the squaw of &Navajo chief, she having been employed ,upon it for five months. It is of large size, of wool, the figures upon it being white, red and blue. Major Arny says there are about 10,000 Navajoes-in New Mexico, who own, with the Mexi: cans IA& Territory probably a million of sheep, which are used principally for food. The animals remain unshorn of the wool, which would make good blankets and clothing for our troopa. It is believed, from the fact that the army of the Potomac has not been ordered into winter quarters, that some decisive movement is about to take place. Circumstances in the case of Col, Kerrigan have transpired within a few days which fix upon him without doubt the fact of his having furnished in formation to the enemy, as previously alleged. The South. Important from Mexico. Intelligence had reached Havana that the city of Vera Cruz had been occupied by the Spaniards, and that the Spanish flag was waving over San Juan d'Ulloa. Four French and four British ships of war arrived there on the 27th ult. From the Havana Diario we learn that the Governor of Vera Cruz was willing to eva cuate the city, but demanded and received a respite of twenty-four hours. Havana letters state that Santa Anna and Miramon are both to go to Mexico.
