Death of Horace Holden.—One of our most valued Christian citizens and friends, Horace Hol den, Esq., died after a brief illness, on Tuesday morning last, in the 70th year of his age. As an elder in the Brick Presbyterian church, a Manager Of the American Bible Society, corporate member of the American Board, and an officer of various cha rities, a man of wisdom, prudence, earnest piety, Inflexible integrity, and great purity of' purpose, here was no man among us who occupied a higher ,lace in the affections of the good, and who was do g more to uphold the interests of truth in the city and the world.—.Y. Y. Observer, • The Revival in Princeton, correspon dent-of the N. Y. Observer writes as follows: "The , Day of Prayer for Colleges was observed- with an interest before unknown, and will be memorable in the history of' this institution. The students were •rvently and appropriately addremed by Rev. Dr. Stearns, of Newark. The interest still continues. We do not. attempt to number the fruits. One thing, howeTer, have observed, hi this and all other College revivals which I have.been eonvetant with, here dtidlelsewhere, They _are most powerful in the older classess which have been. longest in Col lege, This 'fad speaks for itself in regard, to the moral influence of College life on young lien. Of the two higher classes in this College, at least five sixths express hope in Christ, and of the residue some are known to be thoughtful. " In the town, more than forty have already pro fessed religion in connection with Presbyterian churches (white and colored), and others are expec ting to do so at approaching communions. Others 'still are inquiring. The number added to the Me thodists is also large. It is the Lord's doing, and is marvelous in our eyes." Episcopal. Dr. Hawke has resigned the reetorshipkt Cal vary Church, New York. The Rev. 1. W. Oracraft, N oe has been rector of the Church of the EpObanY in this city for two • :ate tesistteet4chrellargirarthevirtsh - last week. In his farewell discourse, Mr. Cracraft alleged that the step he was about to take was rendered neces sary •by the measure of persecution to which he had been subjected, on the part of a few of his congre gation, by reason of his loyal sentiments. Congregational. For Port Royale—William E. Park, (son of Professor Park, James E. Taylor, (son of Dr. S. H. Taylor), Mr. Rowe, and others from the Theolo gical Seminary, were included in the company of teachers and missionaries which recently sailed for Port Royal. Rev. Prof, W. O. T. Shedd, D. D., of Andover Seminary, has accepted a call to become associate pastor with Dr. Spring, of New York, at a salary of $5OOO. Re will thus become the successor of Dr. lloge, who left on account of his secession proclivi ties. Bard Tinter - hr the Welt—The Chicago:cor respondent of the Independent gives the following gloomy view of affairs at' the West. We do not know whether it is more true of the particular churches and institutions for witteh lie speaks than of others, " Christians at. the East can have little idea of the straits to which the professors in our colleges and theological seminaries, as well as our pastors, are put by these hard times. The Southern market is closed, produce is almost worthless, taxes are high and will yet be higher ; the more land a man owns the poorer he may be, and the majority of the people are in debt and compelled to pay ruinous rates of interest. Some of the ablest churches in our State have resorted to deacon meetings, because they had become involved in debt to their pastors and felt compelled to part with them, and husband future rdsources in order to pay arrears. It is a sad and depressing state of things when, throughout the West, colleges, theological seminaries and churches are compelled to entertain the question of disband ing or suspending!" Revivals, however are not withheld from these suffering churches. :rhe correspondent of the Inde perident writes, "The revival in the Congregational church of Palo, Illinois, continues. A membership of 180, almost without exception revived; eighty more aro expected ultimately to unite with the church. The brethren encountered great obstacles, and therefore ascribe this great victory to the Lord." Sandwich, Illinois ; Neenah, and Waukeesha, Wis., and other points, are mentioned as visited by the same reviving influence. Methodist Troy University —Thu Rev, Dr. R. S. Foster, of New York, who was invited, in August last, to the Presidency of the Troy 'University, has just sent a note to the Trustees of that Institution, declining the proffered honor, and the Rev. Charlton T. Lewis, of the Chair of Mathematics in the University, has been made Vice-President . ad interim, in order to discharge the duties of the Presidency until a suc cessor to Rev. Dr. John McClintock, late. President, is chosen, and assumes the functions of the office. The State Senate last week passed a bill granting the University the sum of five thousand dollars a year, for the period of three years, to enable the Trustees to carry on the University until its income will accomplish that end.—lifethodist. Editor Methodist Preaoheri in Western 'Virginia.— A correspondent of the Methodist, speaking of Western Virginia, says :—" Some of our brethren have been thrown into jail, as the venerable father Green, an itinerant of some fifty years, and the pa triarch of our Conference, and Jeremiah Hare, one of the purest and humblest men who ever stood up in a pulpit, and who was taken over the mountains and kept ifi a common jail over four months hefore he managed to escape. OtheTs have been waylaid and shot at by roving bands of desperadoes, often parting with their families as if forever, when they. went to some parts of their work. Others have had everything they possessed taken from them and destroyed, and their wives and children turned out into the wilderness, naked and hungry in the midst of winter. Others who escaped in time found work and refuge in adjoining districts and Conferences. Some of our brethren are officers, and five of them chaplains in the Union army. Several were in the Legislature and Constitutional Convention. It was the special object of the rebels in the lower and more southern counties to kill off or drive out our preach ers." $2 00 per annum 250 " Irreligion and Mormonism at the Sandwich Islands.—Mr. Alexander, of the Sandwich Islands mission, wrote from Vailuku, December 23, that a large weekly newspaper, the 11:oka .Paleffika (Paciftc Star) had lately sprung into existence, advocating the cause of infidelity and immorality. He adds : "There is also a - renewed stir in the ranks of the Mormons. The new apostle of their cause is .a Cap tain Gibson, aided by a young man from Northamp ton, Mass. It was suspected, for a while, that Gib son was leagued with some privateers; but the opin ion is now gaining ground that he is indeed an agent of Brigham Young, and that the Mormons of Salt Lake meditate an attack upon the Islands, which they intend to seize and hold as a more pleasant home than Utah." The Embassy sent to Madagascar by the Go vernor of Mauritius, to present the congratulations of the British Government to Radama 11. on his accession to the throne, has returned, and in their' report they say : " The members of the mission had many opportunities - of contrasting the state of the country during the rule of King Radama, and that existing only six months ago. It was imagined that Christianity had been entirely suppressed, but now Christians are to be , found in all parts of the capital, and already a school has been established under the special patronage of the king, and for the short time it has been in existence appears wonderfully pros perous. The want of books is severely - fat.lheir, possession having been forbidden during the I, queen's reign. The few copies of the Bible are' nearly useless, having been for a long time concealed under ground. . " A very strong feeling of attachment to the Eng . lish prevails at Antananarivo, and English is spoken by several of the officers. " It was most satisfactory to see the state of things at Antananarivo, especially when we reflected that only six months before, scenes of cruelty and tyranny bad been enacted which are difficult of belief. The Christian persecution bad gone on with little inter mission up to the time of the late queen's death, and parties of Christians who had been for many years in chains, were released at King Radama's se- Strife About a Cburch Edifice.—Rev. Mr. Jessup, missionary at Beirut, writes in regard to a church edifice which the Protestants of &in Zehalty lately occupied, and from' which all - the idolatrous parapbenralia had been removed " Since the old church edifice in Ain • 06 passed into the hands of the Protestap erate efforts have been made to wrest it them,- and restore it to the Greek crtt community, who 1 mi now number only a ve nority in the vil lage. •A short ti ce an order was procured f ro th c ons t an ti p igte, requiring the restoration of all churelketo their original sects. Dagod, Pasha j inni • y issued an order for the giving up of the • ehalty church edifice, on or before Saturday, anuary 11. Khalil, the native teacher and preach er, came at once to Beirut to represent the matter. Colonel Fraser, the British Commissioner in Syria, took up the case, on the ground that the building was never the .property of the Bishop, but was built by, and is still the private iiroperty of IShalir s fam ily. The matter is Bqp . undecided, but there is lit tle prospect of a fair deMsion.". Religion on the. Battle.field.—A young man from Chicago who was at Cairo on the arrival of the wounded from Fort DonelsOn, related a number of interesting incidents at the Cincinnati Itusiness men's prayer-meeting. A captain of a company came to the camp prayer-meeting one day. Hehad been a very wicked man—and now he felt and ac knowledged it —and resolved, by the help of God, he would change his course. That man became a Christian, and through his influence his entire com mand became hopefully converted. In the battle of Fort Donelson, that captain fell. As he was dying, a friend asked him " What message do you wish to send to your friends?" He answered—" tell my wife, there is not a cloud between me and Christ:" He spoke of a company, every man of whom, except three, were Christians. That company were in the thickest of the battle, and fought bravely-T-Bnd yet but five of them were wounded. He spoke of a lad of abbut 14 or 15 years,whom he had also known at Chicago. He was a devoted. Viand took a leading pait at the camp prayer meeting: It . had enlisted as a drummer. In the battle his arm" was, shot off elosebtelia.shoulder. He was seen sitting, leaning against a tree, and, as the tide of life. was ebbing, from the loss of blood, his countenance was radiant with joy, while he sang the hymn comment-. ing, The leader stated that he had had a conversation with the Chaplain of the 18th Ohio Regiment, in Gen. Mitchell's Brigade. He told him that in his regiment he had organized a church of three hun dred and fifty members. During the last four months not a pack of cards was to be found in the regiment,_ nor any chinking of liquor. When he en tered the regiment both card playing and drinking were prevalent among them. Ministers' Sons in the Army.—The Rev. Dr. - Howard, of Pittsburgh; the Rev. Richard Lee, of Lawrenee ; Rev. John Kerr, of Monongahela City ; Rev. A. B. Brown, D. 1)., Canonsburg, for merly President of Jefferson College ; Rev. Daniel E. Nevin, of Sewickleyville ; Rev. Joseph S. Tra vein, of the same place ; ,Rev. Alexander Swaney, of New Hagerstown, Ohio ; Rev. William Eaton, of Carrolton,. Ohio--have each one son - in the army. The Rev. William Smith, D. D., the venerable Emeritus Professor of Greek in Jefferson College, has sent two sons to the defence of his country ;. the Rev. David McKinney, D...D.; of the Presbyterian Banner, has also two sons in the field ; and the Rev. John Stark, of Elderton, Pennsylvania, had four sons in the volunteer service of his country, but one has recently died from disease. All these are, with a single exception, Old School Presbyterian ministers.—Standard. Missionary Items. Army and Navy. `• Nearer, my God, to thee." Religion in the Navy.—Some regiments in the 4•4:,t;,-,i-c...4.*.iiv -. .,!raitt.tli : ot. army have been visited by a powerful workof grace, and meetings for devotion are held with frequency and great success. It is pleasant to know that a similar one prevails in some of the national vessels of war. The following is a specimen The leader of the Fulton Street meeting, Rev. Mr. Jones, of the Mariner's church, said he had some cheering news from the ships of war. He had just received a letter from the chaplain of the Niagara, on which there is daily prayer, stating that he had just closed a meeting for prayer, at which were the Commander and fourteen officers—his entire staff— sitting on the same seats with the common seamen. This ship has often been made the subject of prayer in the Fulton Street meeting, and for many months there has been a constant revival of religion. More than seventy of the men have been hopefully con verted, and the revival is in progress still, notwith standing the roar of battle and the din of war. God still hears and answers prayer. Miscellaneous. Rev. R. J. Wilson, late of Beaufort, S. C., has accepted the call of the Spring Garden Baptist church, Philadelphia, and will enter at once upon his, labors. The church is in a hopeful condition. (-J . thit.tiolic on, The North A Terrible Explosion.—The 'cartridge factory of Samuel Jackson, on Tenth stvet, near the prison, Philadelphia, was blown up on Saturday, March 29. There wata first explosion, and afterwards a second and more violent shock, which shattered the build ing to pieces, and sent the fragments flying through the air, mingled with portions of human bodies. The wreck remaining upon the ground immediately took fire, and the horrified spectators who were first upon the ground, saw men, boys, and girls creeping from the ruins, with their persons burned and black ened, and, in some cases, with their clothing on fire, writhing in agony. There were but few persons who were killed out right by the explosion, and the bodies of most of these were blown to fragment& Heads, legs and arms were hurled through the air, and in some in stances were picked up hundreds of feet from the scene. Portions of flesh, brains, limbs, entrails, etc., were found in the yards of houses, on roofs and in the adjacent streets, The walls of several houses in the vicinity had blood upon them where the frag ments of the bodies had struck. About seventy persons have been badly burned or bruised by this accident. Some of them cannot pos sibly survive their injuries. The sufferers are Mostly young men and women. There seems to be quite a lull in the storm of war, since the well-fought and decisive battles of Pea Ridge, Newbem and Winchester. Our western fleet terries at Island No. 10, and pours an iron hail from mortar and gunboat into the rebel entrench ments. But there are no symptoms of a farther" advance either on the Mississippi or the Potomac. The telegraph iscomparatively silent, and thipapers I aye hard work to keep from being dull. Congress is discussing the Tax bill with an occasional inter lude of wit and fun to vary the dulness of debate. The President's Emancipation resolution, and the bill to abolish slavery in the District of Colurnbia, occupy the thoughts of grave Senators, A resolu tion appropriating $13,000,000 for iron-clad steam ers has passed the Senate. And in connection with this matter, the following complimentary resolution was adopted in the House : " That it is fit and proper that a public acknow ledgment should be made to John Ericsson for the enterprise, skill, energy and forecast displayed by him in constructing the iron-clad steamer Monitor, undes gallant and, able management, came so opportunely to the relief dour fleet in gasititen" Roads, and defended it against the .restk.et ftto enemy, seenfinitrirresistilde to - an poWer at our coma - Aland, and that ths of Congress be tinted to him for -great - servimi thus ren dered to the.. ." Addititnal particulars of the battle of Winchester show it to have been a sharp and bloody contest. One of the newspaper correspondents, after describ ing the varying fortunes of the day, until the middle of the afternoon, thus refers to the decisive charge : " Our whole force now engaged was about 6000 men, while that of the enemy was at the lowest esti mate, 8000. The rebels had also changed their line and extending both their wings, presented a concave front to our army. They had alio reinforced:their left wing, and the charge to be made by our right was all important in its consequences. On it, at 3 o'clock, depended - the fate of the entire battle. The gallant Tyler led the charge, sword in hand, at the head of the line. °The rebels fired from the woods with artillery and small arms, while our men ad vanced against, their murderous showers , of lead and iron, returning few shots and reserving their Up to this time the armies had not, been much nearer to each other thin three hundred yards, un less in some few instances. The, wood was soon cleared at the point of the bayonet, our men dis charging their pieces at twenty and even five yards' distance from the rebels, and then dashing at them with the bayonet. The rebels fought well, however. They contested the ground foot by foot, and marked every yard of it with blood. Retiring behind their stone wall on the ridge, oux-men jumped over after them and drove them along-in the greatest confu sion, and with fearful slaughter upon their centre. The panic communicated. _Kimble ordered a charge along the whole line, and for a short time the fight- ing was most - desperate. The roar of the cannon was :n6 longer heard, unless in occasional bursts of fitful explosions, and the rattle.of musketry was more boisterous than ever, and sounded like the noise made by a very close thunder-clap, except that it was sharper and eontinuous. The rout of the rebels had fairly commenced how ever, and two of their guns and- four etriasunks were now ours, and, though many of them trumetand fired again and again at our pursuing host, many more timerawagmuskets and , bayonets withoitt he sitation. Darknesa and.the entreme. fatigue of our troops, however, saved the enemy for the time, and we retired about two miles and bivouacked till yes-. terday morning. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded will foot about 900 men, of which 225 were killed.' The number of prisoners taken, from them is 236. These figures are independent of what they have lost, and will lose in the pursuit. The ~regiment which lost most.on the side of the rebels was the Fifth Vir ginia. Our loss in killed so far as ascertained, is less than 100, anglabout 300 of our men are wounded. Though the enemy had a much larger force, four pieces of cannon more than our army, the selection of fighting ground and every other advantage, yet all the trophies.of the occasion belong to the Union The battle field after the struggle was a sight to be seen and remembered. The night was dark and cold, After the battle the ambulances were busily en gaged removing the wounded. The enemy carried off most of their wounded and some of their dead. The wounded were intermingled with the dead, and their sufferings before they were removed to the hos pitals,-were very poignant. Yesterday was spent in burying the dead. The ghastly aspect of the field yesterday after the wounded were removed, and before the dead were interred, was appalling. Smne with their faces off, some torn into fragments and frightfully mangled by the round shot and shell, and others simply but quite as effectually killed by bul let wounds. It is singular that most of the enemy killed by bullet wounds, were shot through the head or heart, showing the remarkable accuracy with which ur Western troops use the ride. The enemy's . - wounds were not near so fatal to us as ours were to them, and their weapons were, generally, decidedly inferior to those used in our army. About the stone wall the enemy were strewn almost on top of each other in heaps of dead. •At this point also many of our brave fellows bit the dust. The - South.
