Calvary Church, Ban Franoiseo.—We make an extract from the proceedings of a meeting of the con gregation of Calvary Presbyterian church, San Francisco, called to choose a successor to Rev. Dr. Scott, as reported in the San Francisco Bulletin. We learn that Dr. Wadsworth's acceptance is ex pected, and that encouragement to that effect has been, given since the call was made. J. B. Roberts moved that a call be extended to . Dr. Wadsworth. The vote being taken, every man and woman present-150 on count--rose. It was unanimously agreed to call Dr. Wadsworth. The next question was as to salary. Mr. Roberts said that in his letter to Judge Coon he had named $6,000 per annum, in equal monthly instalments, and all of the expenses of removal of family, library, fiurnitttre, etc., to Callifornia. The meeting unani mously agreed to offer those terms to Dr. Wads worth. It was agreed that a call should be made out and left with Dr. Burrowes ; that Dr. Wadsworth should 14 net/fled that It ma there awaiting him, with the hope that he would at once come on. Meanwhile Elder Roberts, Thornton and McKee will prosecute the call before Presbytery. The United Presbyterian Church in Scotland is in a flourishing state. The Presbytery of Edinburgh alone has 54 congregations, with a membership of 24,288.. Three new congregations were organized &Mugthe past year, and 2,776 persons were added to the membership of the churches. The average total attendance at the churches was 27,820. The whole amount of money raised for all religious pur poses was 429,392, (about $147,000,) or an ave rage of one pound four shilling and three pence (about six .dollars) from each member. In this Pres bytery, also, there are 94 Sabbath Schools, 908 teach ers, and 6,007 children. Besides laboring in Scot land, this Church is also carrying on a good work in London, and has successful missions in the Foreign field. Death of a Southern Ilinister.—The Rev. F. K. Nash, a member of the Presbytery of Fayette ville, North Carolina, died at sis residence i n • .be.. son nni t ti*-N6 --- ,,, am ma, on •e st. o lecem ber, 1861. Mr. Nash was a native of North Caro lina, and was pastor of the Centre_ Church, the largest church now to be found among the Scotch settlements on Cape Fear River. He was a diligent and faithful preacher of the gospel, and much be loved by his church and co-presbyters. and had been very successful as a minister of Jesus Christ. He VIA a nephew of the Rev. Drs. McDowell and Kol lock of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.—. Presbyterian. Southern Organization.—Some of our Ex changes assert that steps are about to be taken to consolidate all the various Presbyterian bodies in the South in one General Assembly. They are much nearer together in doctrine and prtictiee than the Presbyterian bodies of the North and such a union will doubtless sooner or later be accomplished. Whatever may be the result of this war upon the political status of the country, we presume all hope of a union between the churches North and South, during the present generation, must be abandoned. Taking that for granted, a Southern organization is not to be deplored by good men.--/!res. Herald. The Sabbath in the Army.—At • a meeting of the U. P. Presbytery, Keokuk,' in December last, a committee was appointed to draw up a form of peti tion to Congress, asking them to take whatever mea sures may be necessary to remove from our army everything unnecessarily interfering with the sancti ty of the Sabbath. Dr. Leyburn.-=From more correct information received by us, says the Presbyterian, the Rev. Dr. Leyburn hal been appointed by the Southern As sembly, Secretary of Domestic Missions, the office of which is to be located in New Orleans. Boy. M. W. Joocbus, D. D., Professor in the Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny City, was installed pastor of the Presbyterian church in that city, on Tuesday, the 14th inst. Congregational. Statistics of the Denoininetion.—,Aceerd lug to the carefully compiled statistics of The Con gregational Quarterly, just imbed, it appears that the number of Orthodox Congregational churches in the 'United States and British Provinces is 2,856:0f *AA _81844.Y.0 Amthul vaatets 1. 1,040 have stated supplies; 456 pulpits are vacant; 566 ministers.

Of the whole number, 32,180 are re ported as being "absent"from the churches with whfch they are connected. The additions for the year were 12,151, of which 5,522 were by'professien.

About twenty delegates, lay and clerical, were in attendance, re presenting Independent Methodist churches in dif ferent parts of the country. Rev. M. Staples, of Brooklyn, was chosen President ; Rev. H. Matti son, of New York, Secretary ; and James M. Co burn, of 'New York, Treasurer. , Two young men were ordained to the ministry, and arrangements were made for starting a periodical, to be called The Methodist independent, to be edited by Profes sor Mattison. The peculiarities of this sect are that, while they adhere to Methodist doctrines and mode of worship, they have no "bishops" ory pre siding elders;" the churches are independent of the Conference, own their church property, choose their own pastors, and retain them as long as they please ; and the Conferene,e, coMposed of iiiiriiiteTs and ay delegates, hai no legislative ; execitive, or judicial authority over the local churches, beyond that of mere advice and recommendation. The articles of faith of the Methodist Episcopal church were adopted by the Conference, and reetimmended to the IoCA churches as a. doctrinal platforin, .and carefully prepared plan of union or constitution was adopted and subscribed by all the delegate l present• 1-ralr.Y Bowing Pod.

In the absence of the Virginia preachers, most of whom are in the secession army, the petition thinks it. would be neither right e*- pedient to hold the Annual bonference. iire have heard it also whispered that an enterprise is on foot to resuscitate the Baltimore Advocate, to re-engage in its former mischievous mission, under its ohi edi tor, Dr. Bond. Secession must indeed infatuate its subjects if Baltimore Methodists have not yet waked to a sense of its mischievous and fatal tendency. Maryland has many true and loyal men ; but she also has many traitors and rebels. Proposed Formation of a New Diocese.— Pursuant to call, a large number of the clergy and laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church, residing on Long Island, assembled in St John's Church, Brooklyn, on the 14th inst., to take into considera tion the subject of making Long Island a separate diocese. After considerable discussion the follow ing resolution was passed : "That in the opinion of the-meeting, the Diocese of New York should be divided, and that a com mittee of five be appointed to present the matter t to the Bishop and the committee of thirteen appointed at the last Episcopal State convention having charge of the subject." Pree,ch.ing-tente for the Army.—A crowded meeting was held in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, on Sabbath, a week ago, - at the call of the Young Men's Christian Association, to provide facilities for public religious services among the different regi ments of the army. In the present inclement sea son, a congregation of soldiers cannot be gathered out of doors, but must have a large tent to meet in. Such tents, serving for portable, canvas meeting houses, have been supplied to many regiments by the young men of Brooklyn. Pithy speeches in aid of such church-extension were made by one of Gen. Blenker's German chaplains, by Prof. Hitchcock of this city, and „Rev. Mr. Willets of Brooklyn, with a few closing remarks by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher; after which a collection was taken which showed by the piling up of the plates that three or four good speechesgo a good way . toward , , •. • an. a.. "e A Methodist Company.—A letter from a bro ther in company C, Colonel Howell's regiment, thus spealcs of the religious .clement in that company, as also in-the regiment : " Our company has the repu tation of being the Methodist company, as'it has in it quite a number of members of the M. E. Church and teachers in the M. E. S. school, some of whom were elassleaders at home. We hold our prayer and class meetings reguldrly. There are many others scattered through the regiment who are mem bers of church, some Methodists and Baptists and Presbyteriana."—N. W. Chris't Advocate. Religion in the Army.—The Na;ional Repub lican of the 10th inst., pays a high tribute to the army of the Potomac. It says:."The moral and religious tone of the grand Union army of the Po tomac has no parallel in the history of armies; prayer meetings and religious organizations are com mon in almost every regiment, and, :perhaps, in every one where the chaplaluis a. pious man. Nana Protestant Soldiers.—Workmen have just completed the building at the Camp of Chalons of a Protestant chapel intended for the celebration of divine service for such of the troops as are Pro testant. The building will be inaugurated next. year. The 'Midnight Meetings in Louth:tn.—The prp moters of this movement, after an interval of five months, recommenced their effar4 on Tuesday night, when a meeting of fallen -women was held at the Westrewt ,About 350 accepted the invitation to partake of tea and, offee, after which they were addressed by the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel. Dr, Candlish.—The Rev. Mr. Dykes has been inducted as colleague and successor to Dr. Candlish, Edinburgh. A Nobleman in the Pulpit.—On Sabbath last, Lord Teynham preached twice in the Victoria Hall, Belfast, to large audiences. This is the first occa sion, we believe, in which a peer of the realm has appeared in the capacity of preacher in this town. For some time Lord Teynham has devoted himself to this line o - 2 "• ^ • it is said , .hisidnistrations have attraeted large_ audiences.—Belfast Paper.

Liberia. The Advantages of Delay.—On this topic the Philadelphia Ledger thus speaks: " The advantages of the long delay since the Bull Run disaster, are now beginning to manifest themselves, and to, prove how unwise was the outcry against McClellan's inaction. 'While no fruits were visible, impatient people thought that precious time was being wasted, for getting that to accomplish, great results great prepa rations are needed, and that such results in war can be predicted only when the army is known to be in such condition that all its movements may be del" pended upon, as in a complicated machine each part must be properly fitted and adjusted before the work expected of it can be surely accomplished. Qui army has been attaining this condition of mechani cal Precision and co-operative adjustment, and we see the effects in the recent battles .30:all have crowned our arms with success. A, remarkable fea ture in the organization otthe,outherwarinyis:that defeaedoestot Merely drive it' back et break it, but entirely disperses it.: Every man, seems to scatter for his home. The whole force melts away as ef fectually as if it had been annihilated. Federal Troops in Kentunky.—According to a New York paper, the following table ..exhibits the Union forces now in the southwestern part of Ken tucky: Infantry, . . Cavalry, - . Artillery, 19 batteries, otal, BeSides the above there are fiftuen or twenty gun boats, carrying about one hundred 'pieces of , ordi nance of the largest calibre ,, and ; number of mortar boats. • ' ' The South. Slave Refugees :from Drissouri.—A practical solution of the difficulty felt in regard to the future condition of the slaves ernacipated li 'the fi '• • Times says: Rev. H. H. Moore, of Kansas, who has lately been in charge of a large number of those slave refu gees, has given, in a local news Paper, an account of his mode of disposing of them. It is briefly thus : He had on his hands recently, 21$ Missouri en slaves, men, women and children. The farmers and other residents, in the vicinity of his encamp ment across the Kansas line, came to him in large numbers, seeking to engage the services of these negroes as farm-hands, laborers, servants, etc. One person wanted two or three of the men to work on his farm ; another wanted a boy ; another a family to occupy a vacant house : another a housemaid another a girl to bring up, and so on. And in that way homes and employment for the whole body were found among the farmers, and nmny_ mere Of these poor ex-slaves could have , found eager em ployer& Before parting with any one orthern,'his name, his age and.the name of old , Mosier were taken, a new name was given to him. arid 'a...written pledge was required from his guardian that he should be, treated kindly and honestly. Several thousands of them have thus been disposed of in Kansas within the last few months, and, so anxious are the farmers to secure the services of these faith ful and industrious laborers, that it is reckoned that all the spare slaves of Missouri would be gladly re ceived and provided for. For, the present Winter they will not, in general, receive much compensa tion other than boarding and lodging ; but, with the planting time of next season, their regular wages will begin: Several free schools have been established for them, and there is nothing in the way of their' indefinite - social improvement. PIMA and otherwise, the difficult question of solving the slave question in Missouri, is in the way of an easy enough solution; and one free State of the West is in the way of being furnished with an invaluable supply of labor. The Defeat of the Rebels.--At Somerset, Ken tuAy, iS'another instance of the disaitrous policy of Making Sabbath attacks, as will be seen 'from the, following accounts taken from a Cincinnati paper : At seven o'clock on Sabbath morning the 12th, the, enemy drove in.the pickets of the3oth Indiana, stationed at the forks of the road, eight miles from -t__The22etli-werellittiVihriiia moved into the woods, where they where met by the enemy, 6000 streng r - who instantly opened upon them.
