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.

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.

"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."

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 following is a copy of a despatch received

Adviees from Port Royal, state that the expe
dition towards Savannah was supposed to be in pro
gress. Reconnoitering parties have proceeded to
wards Tybee Island, with apParatus for removing
obstructions from the rivers and creeks south of the
Savannah river. It is understood that the land
force would consist of 10,000 men, and that Warsaw

tion. A. line of railway was progressing across Hil
