Sound Sentiments,-It gives us unmingled plea sure to notice such indications of an enlightened sen timent as have appeared and do appear among Presbyterians of' the South, on the great moral ques tion of the day. Rev. Henry Ruffner, D. D., of the Old School branch of the Church in Virginia, whose death was recently announced in our columns, thus earnestly and eloquently plead with Western Vir ginia, for the abolition of slavery in their borders, in a pamphlet written, according to the Western Ad vocate, about a dozen years ago :—" Cast it off West Virginians, while yet you have the power: for if you let it descend unbroken to your children it will have grown to a mountain of misery on their heads. . . Then by a forbearance which has no merit, and a supineness which has no excuse, you will have given them for their inheritance this lovely land blackened with a negro population—the offscourings of Eastern Virginia—the fag end of slavery—the loathsome dregs of that cup of abomination which has already sickened to death the Eastern half of our Commonwealth. Delay not, then, we beseech you, to raise a barrier against this gtygian inundation— to stand at the Blue Ridge and with sovereign en ergy say to this Black Sea of misery, ' Hitherto shalt thou come, and no further.' . . . May Hea ven direct your minds to the course dictated by pa triotism, by humanity, and by your true interests." The Rev, R. J. Breckinridge, D. D., in the issue of the Lenity/Re Journal for November 23d, said : "That there are conditions in which vast bodies of slaves may be considered a very powerful element in the military strength of the South • the chief of which conditions are, first, that the military force of the United States should not be able to penetrate the heart of the disloyal slave region,—and, secondly, that after penetrating that region, the General Gov ernment should be weak enough to treat slave proper ty, in the hands of rebels and traitors, as if it were . sacred." _ _ Revival,—Pisgah church, LawrenceWutjr, - Illi: nois, according to the Presbyterian Herald, has re cently enjoyed a powerful revival of religion. Special services were held three and four times a week in the month of December. The results, as stated by the correspondent were as follows :—" Thirty-eight precious, immortal souls redeemed, we trust, with the blood of Christ, (many of them our own kindred according to the flesh) stood up (numbers of them with their children) in presence of angels and men, avouohed the Lord to be their God, and his people to be their people. Fourteen of whom received the ordinance of baptism, together with the same num ber of ohiltittm." Revival in. Bloomsbury, N. J.—An interesting work of grace has been in progress in the Presbyte rian church of Bloomsbury, for some weeks, under the pastorate of the Rev. J. S. Vandyke. The first indices of the good work were apparent in the Bible class, which the pastor weekly instructs. Twenty two were admitted to the communion of the church early in December. The good work appears to pro gress, and it is hoped that it will still enlarge.—Pres byterian, Ohaplains.—Rev. James Mathews, Professor in Centre College, Kentucky, has received and accep ted the appointment of Chaplain to Col. Landrum's regiment. Rev. Dr. Landis, has been appointed to a chap laincy in the army, which he has accepted ; the par ticular regiment we do not know. This makes seven Old School Presbyterian ministers who are now chaplains in Kentucky. Rev. 3. Jermain Porter, of St. Louis, publishes a card in the St. Louis Democrat, acknowledging a Christmas gift of a purse of $325 from members of his congregation and other citizens in token of their approval of his patriotic coarse in regard to our na tional affairs. A Presbytery in Italy.—At a meeting of the. Presbytery of the North of Italy, on Thursday, Oct. 17, 1861, inter dia the subject of the better observ ance of the Lord's day in this land was brought under the notice of the Presbytery, when, after full consideration, it was unanimously agreed that an address on the subject should be prepared, with a view to being read from the pulpits within the bounds on Sabbath, December 22, 1861.—.Arew York Observer. Congregational. Reviyal In Bethel, Me.—A correspondent of the Independent says :—The Lord by his Spirit is granting us a precious season of revival. Mr. Ham mond came here about a week since, and the bles sing 9f the Lord has signally attended his addresses to the people. Messrs. Wheelwright and Garland, of the First and Second Congregational churches, heartily co-operate with him. Hundreds remain for the inquiry meetings. Weeping is often heard in different parts of the church, and large numbers who but a few nights ago were deeply convinced of sin , zare now rejoicing in the love of their first espou sals. Yesterday afternoon, our people of all deno minations were seen flocking to the, Universalist church, to listen to a ' discussion au the subject of regeneration;' but as the Universalist minister affirm ed his belief in the necessity of the new birth, there was no dispute, but a most solemn and impressive meeting. Mr. Hammond often repeated the words, " Ye mui3t'be born again," and during his address the tears in the eyes of not a few indicated that the Holy Spirit was leading 801110. to feel the desperate wickedness of the heart. Much prayer had been offered for a blessing upon the meeting, and the children of God felt it had not been in vain." Methodist. Methodist Ministers cannot Sue.for their Si laries.—The Worcester (Piss& ) ..ef . gis has the fol lowing curious item.: — " A Methodist clergyman :in Ware lately 844 his parish for the Unpaid balance of his salary. The counsel for die parish took the ground that under the parochial economy of Metho dists nothing was legally due him ; that the minis ter was sent to the parish by the presiding elder, not called by the parish; that all payments under such circumstances were voluntary, and not the result of a legal agreement binding both sides ; and that if the members of the parish did not collect the full amount of the salary, there was no legal means of collecting the balance. The court decided that the grounds of the defence were correct, and that the clergyman could not recover." Editor Rev. Mr. Capel, one of the most influential min isters of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in. Missouri, and said to be chaplain to General Price, was brought into St. Louis with the 1000 prisoners recently captured by General Pope. He is accom panied by two other Methodist rebel preachers. They are confined in the McDowell College build ings. Pastoral Change.—lt is said that Rev. R. M. Hatfield, now of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a writer for the Independent, is to assume the pastorate duties, in part, of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's church. The editorial labors of the lat ter gentleman are so onerous, that he intends only to preach in the evening, while Mr. Hatfield 'will officiate at the morning service. $2 00 per annum. 250 ' " The Bishop of Ohio has been at Cambridge, Eng land, and the English papers regret that he is not in strong health. A paragraph in the London papers gave notoriety to the fact of a Bishop's being seen sitting under the preaching of Dr. Cummings, the famous Scotch Presbyterian, one Sunday morning, and it was at first said to be the Bishop of Ely. A subsequent correction states that it was the Bishop of Ohio. In regard to national affairs, the Bishop is making himself felt. He has written a letter to the Record correcting its grossly incorrect version of President Lincoln's Message, and deprecating the angry tone of the Press, which has provoked so much needless bad feeling between the two nations. He has also met a numerous and influential company of leading persons, clerical and lay, belonging to the Low Church and Dissenting interests, at the house of a prominent dissenting Baronet in London. The Bishop explained to them his views of the origin and bearings of our civil war, and the connection between it and antislavery and colonization, and touched on a large range of other political topics, answering all the questions asked by his auditors. The meeting was closed with an eloquent prayer by a distinguished Baptist minister. —Church Journal. Chaplain Mines.—A solder in the Second Maine Regiment writes as follows :—" Our chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Mines, who was taken prisoner at Manas sas, arrived here last night; we were very glad to welcome him back, as we have been deprived of a chaplain since the battle." Mr. Mines reports that the treatment shown to the Union prisoners'at first was very harsh; several men were shot, as previ ously reported, for simply looking from the windows, and the cruel practice was not stopped till Colonel Corcoran sent for General Winder and protested against it, saying, if the prisoners were to be shot they prefered to be taken to an open field, and killed according to military usage. For many weeks Rev. Mr. M. was not permitted to preach even to his fel low-prisoners, but subsequently he received such permission, and was also allowed to preach in the prisons and the hospitals. Rev. P. Kizer, chaplain of the Highland regi ment from New York, has returned to his home in Sunbury, Pa., in impaired health. He was appoint edchaplain in June last, and has accordingly been in the United Sfitel _haa_been his lot to witness the battle at Bull Run, and the bombardment and capture of the forts at Port Royal. Turkey.—Writing from Constantinople under date of Nov. 6, 1861, Dr. Hamlin sends the follow ing : " While still waiting for the College Iradeh, (gov ernment permit to build) I am giving a good deal of my time to Missionary work. lam glad to say that the congregation at Balm, where Mr. Goodell and I alternate in preaching; is increasing and showing more signs of interest. The Pera movement of dis affection towards the missionaries] has not got the slightest foothold there. • • " Mr. Treat will be glad to hear again from the Brusa fireman. His former ' crony,' who became his bitterest persecutor, and who was a far worse man than he, having iu past times been confessedly concerned in murder as well as robbery, is now a de vout and humble fellow-disciple, and often listens to the glad news with streaming eyes. `And things that are not bring-to nought things that are.' " I was appointed again by the station to retrench further at Brusa. As I could not go, I wrote, stop ping entirely the support of the school, and exhort ing them to take it upon themselves. Although very poor, they have done so ; and are surprised and happy in the work. The school goes on with increasing interest. Retrenchment is a blessing to them this time. "The Peri movement is rather moderating.in some quarters. Pastor Simon, Der Vertanes and his son, and a few others of like spirit, will hold out and be left pretty much alone, I imagine, before long. " The Armenian and Greek communities are terri bly excited, especially the former, In an attempt winch now has the form of abolishing the Patriarch ate altogether, and substituting civil government, like that of the Protestant Armenians. Party spirit is so high and fierce, r . that the Porte has to keep a sharp look-out against riots. The whole empire is restless everywhere. I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.' We may see still darker days ; but I feel sure that we Shall ere long see far brighter days overall our missionary field." Syria.—The missionaries utter distressful cries over the desolations that surround them, and espe cially those occasioned by want of men and means to carry on their work. Among, the more favorable aspects which theY report, Mr: Jessup gives the fol lowing - "After my visit to Zakleh, spent a Sab bath in Ain. Zehalta, .Where the - majority of the people have become Protestants, and the old Greek Catholic Church once filled with pictures and all the Paraphernalia of baptized paganism, is now stripped of all`these, the old altar transferred into , a pulpit, and the people meet to worship God in the simplicity of the Gospel. A few only of the people held out in opposition; and the French priest at B'teddin is now trying to useipern as a lever for recovering the church edifice to the old sect, but it is not probable that he will succeed. Of the old pictures that 'Were formerly in the church, some were burned by the Druzes during the war ; some have been made into boxes to hold barley, and one or two are now used as trays to carry bread_ to the village oven. I have not spent a more interesting Sabbath in Syria,- than when I preached in that old church with one hundred and thirty men, women, and children sitting around on the floor, listening to the Word of Life, and joining, though rudely in the songs of Zion. They have their own native preacher and teacher, and they are sincerely anxious to train their children, in the right way." Too Good to be Lost.—The Christian Intelli gencer thus notices the claim made by the Church Journal in behalf of the clergy of the Episcopal dinirch, as superior in gentility and scholarship to those of any other denomination : Episcopal. Army. Foreign. Miscellaneous. Anttriratt probßttriatt and Orntote Cningtliot "Well, let us come down and sit in the dust at the feet of these `gentlemen and scholars.' Let us learn.from them what polished courtesy it is to borrow the church of another communion, and then semi-officially call it ' the Dutch house of worship.' Let us get an inkling of that scholarship which con sists in doing without a collegiate education ; which fills its shelves with the commentaries of dissen tem,' or else leaves them empty ; which gives a one sided devotion to patristic literature, and ignores all other knowledge." omotic The North Return of Bull Run Prisoners.—Mr. Gillett of the 71st N. Y., who acted as Adjutant while in Rich mond, and who was recently in this city, has - been appointed to a lieutenancy, furnishes the following statement : The officers is the rebel service gene rally are intelligent and gentlemanly toward those whom they have captured. The outrages upon the Union prisoners have been altogether committed by stupid sentinels. - The tobacco warehouses six in number, in the city of Richmond, are devoted ''to the Union prisoners. One of them is for suspected Unionists residing in the South, two are used for Hospital purposes, and the other three for the cap tured Union soldiers. These are confined in rooms about 60 by. 100 feet, with no place in the open air for exercise---nothing but these small pent up rooms. It was not until late in November before the prison ers were furnished with clothing, and many of them suffered much from cold, as a great number had thrown most of their clothing away on the battle field a short time before their capture. Many of them were so badly clothed that they had to patch rags together in order to screen their nakedness. Rhode Island and Massachusetts were the only States that forwarded clothing to the prisoners. The rations were two meals a day, which consisted of six ounces of bread and four of meat for break fast, and in the evening they received the same al lowance of bread, and a pint of soup, which con sisted of the broth in which the morning's meat had been broiled, thickened with a little meal. When first taken prisoners, the poor fellows were often eighteen hours without food, and on one occasion twenty-four hours passed without anything having been given to them to eat. This oflate has, to a great extent been remedied. A large prison is being fitted up for the benefit of the unfortunate Union prisoners at Saulsbury, N. C., which covers a space of fifteen acres. Those at Richmond and some other points will be sent to this new prison when it is completed, which it soon will be. Mr. Gillett also speaks of a deep Union senti ment which prevails in Richmond d thinks at no distant day there will be many to al citizens to be found among the now residents of that city. The Nomination of Edwin M. Stanton, of Penn sylvania, as Secretary of War, was confirmed last week, by a vote approaching unanimity. The Senate, after an Executive session of three hours, on Friday last, confirmed the nomination of Mr. Cameron as minister to Russia. by a vote of yeas 24, nays 14. . It is 'generally understood that General McClel lares-recent exposition made to the Congressional Committee to inquire into the conduct of the war or so much of his views and plans as he deemed prudent to trust to the public, has convinced them of the impolicy of such, a step. It is certain that the result of the lcmg interview has been to bring the committee up to the work of laboring to induce aid to General McClellan in his measures and policy, with the frit& confidence that e t orded to m, ' t at sisy wo s re - .] y s osilty o in Sure the quick suppression of the rebellien, that de pends so entirely upon the harmonious concert of action between all branches of the Government ser vice in laboring to work out common ends. The, restdts of the various conferences held in Washington by the represents,tives from Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce and Banking Insti tutions, among themselves and with. the Secretary, maybe summed up briefly as follows: First—The general views of the Secretary of the Treasury are assented to. Second=-The banks will receive and pay out the United States notes freely, and sustain, in all proper ways, their credit. Third—The Secretary will, within the next two weeks, in addition to the current daily payment of one million and a half dollars in United*Stateinotes, pay the further sum of at least twenty million dol lars in seven three-tenth bonds to such public cre ditors as may desire to receive them, and thus re lieve, the existing pressure upon the community. Fourth—The issue of United States deinand notes is not to be increased beyond the fifty millions now authorized, but it is desired that Congress will extend the provisions of the existing loan acts; so as to enable the Secretary to issue, in change for United States demand notes or in payment to cre ditors notes payable in one year, bearing 3-65100 per cent., interest, and convertible into 7 3-10 three years bonds, or to borrow, under the existing provisions, to the amount of $250,000,000 or $300.000,000. Fifth—lt is thought desirable that Congress should enact, a general law relating to currency and bank ing associations, embracing the general provisions recommended by the Secretary in his report. Sixth—lt is expected that this action and legisla tion will render the United States demand notes a legal tender,. or the increase beyond the fifty mil lions now authorized urmeoessary. , . The South. Via Havana; we have dates from Vera Cruz to the Ist of January. The 'condition of affairs at Vera Cruz had continued unchanged.. The Spanish army were in undisputed possession of the city and neighboring countrk. General Gasset had cleared the roads of the bands of marauders that infested, them, and communication with the country was 'established. The Spanish troops were admirably quartered, and only wait the arrival of the French and English contingents, and General Prim, the Cornmander-in- Chief, to march inland. General Prim's quarters - in Vera Cruz were all ready for him. The people appeared to be perfectly satisfied with the rule of the Spaniards. On the Ist of January, a day's firing took place between Fort Pickens and the rebel batteries. The Fort opened upon a rebel steamer at about 3i o'clock in the afternoon, and the fire was soon returned by the rebel batteries, and it was kept up by both sides until about ten o'clock at night. It was supposed that the shells, which were fired from the fort, did considerable damage, and many of the shells thrown by the rebels were seen to fail inside of the fort, but it is not known what execution they did. The shells thrown from Pickens set fire to the town of Wolsey, south of Warrington, a portion of which was de stroyed. Fort Pickens continued the firing two or three hours after the rebel batteries ceased. Most of the firing by the rebels was from the water bat teries. As far as could be seen, no injury whatever was done to Fort Pickens, but Fort Barancas seemed to have suffered. The. Southwest. Advices from Cape Giradeau state, that the ex pedition which left here for Dallas and Bloomfield, returned. last week, bringing twenty-three prisoners, and among them Captain Day, of Jeff. Thompsoies army. .;.The Numfordsville correspondent of the Louis ville Journalle says, the rebels are driving cattle into the ponds and watering-places on the ronte of the advance of the U. S. Army, and killing them, so as to render the water unfit for drinking. The activity of the Governffient in naval affairs, has not materially slackened, with the departure of the Burnside expedition. At the Brooklyn Navy Yard the greatest activity prevails. Negociations have also been opened for the charter and purchase of several merchant vessels and steamers for tran sports. The last Naval Expedition is that fitting out under Captain Porter, and soon to leave New York. It is a mortar fleet, comprising twenty-six vessels, each carrying thirteen or fifteen inch mortars, and armed, in addition. with one or two of the largest calibre of rifled guns. This fleet is to be divided into three divisions, each, it is surmised for a differ ent destination. Two of these vessels have already sailed, and they will all have cleared New York har bor before the end of another week. Ericsson's iron clad battery, it is said, will form one of this fleet, and be tested, as the contract requires, under the guns of one of the Southern 'forts. It is expected to be ready for its work by the first of February.

The battle is said to .ha . ve raged with great fury until three o'clock in the afternoon, when Zollikoffer having been killed, the whole force of rebels fled in confusion 'to their camp.
