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

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."

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-

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

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.

—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."

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

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

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

which are used principally for food. The animals
remain unshorn of the wool, which would make good
