Vindication of Dr. Dreckinridge.—The Geo
-col Assembly, at its /ate meeting in. Columbus, fully
endorsed Dr. Breekinridge's course in connection
with the Danville Seminary, and in opposition to
Dr. Robinson, of that supremely spiritual newspaper
—The True Presh,yserian. The following resolutiona
among others, were adopted on the occasion :
Resolved, That in the judgment of the Assembly,
no facts have come to their knowledge which impair
their confidence in Dr. 13reckinridge, as a Profeasor
in the Danville Seminary,; and they are fortified in
this conclusion by the official declaration of the
Board of Trustees of the Institution, that all the
charges and insinuations against him are without
foundation.
Resolved, That the Aisimblydo not caimede,that
in accepting a Professor's chair in the Seminary,Dr.
Drectinridge did necessarily yield the right of ex
pressing freely his views in relation to matters of
great national concernment; and that, instead of
censure and condemnation, his lucid.and able utter
ances on the rise, history, and character . of the great
conflict now in progress, entitle him to the gratitude
of the Church and the country.
Resolved, That the Assembly, duly appreciating
the eminent qpalifications of Dr. Breckinridge as a
teacher of theology, and his great usefulness in that
department, would deeply regret his withdrawal
from his present position, and therefore decline the
acceptance of his resignation..
Presbyterian Domestic) Missions. —ln the
same Assembly; a report was read on Domestic Nis
siona, of which the following• is an abstract :
The number of missionaries in commission Mai&
1, 1861, was 618, to which have been added to
March 1, 1862, 121, making. the whole number
639.
The number Of Antoine and'missionary stations
in whole or in part supplied (as far as reported) by
thosein eammission l is 803.
Eigitteen churches are reportel as Baying organ
ised during the year.
The number of admissions on examination is
1782, and on certificate 1035 ; .making a total of
2817.
The whole number in' communion with churches
connected thus' with the Board is 20,409.
Sabbath Schools number 347 ;* their teachers
2813 ; and 11;778 - scholars: -
The number of baptisms reported is 2468.

.
Reviving a High-Church Organ. The fol
lowing is from the New York correspondent of the
,
Philadelphia Inquirer
" A promising indication of the revival in busi
ness is visible in the fact, that the Chtlrchman news
paper is about to be revived, under the auspices of
the former proprietor, Mr: Hecker. The Church
man, it will be remembered, was compelled to sus
pend about a year ago, immediately upon the sus
pension of mail communications with the seceded
States, where many of its subscribers resided, but a
subscription list having been made up by its friends
nearer home, it wane enabled once more to take
the field. Of course, it will be in future, as itnl
ways was, the organ of the High-Church party of
the Episcopal Church.,
" Another reason for the revival of thi pee
)1' tdiar
journal is, that the Bishop of the diocese at present
has no newspaper medium for communicating With
the Church at large. The Church Journal deis
not enjoy his favor, and though there is another
paper published here professing to be Episcopalian,
its typp of Churehmanship is said to be too low to
suit the Bishop's taste."
Episcopal Labor in, Minnesota, : -- The Right
Rev- 11% B. WbiPPle) D.D., writes
"Yon know that in days of a common sorrow, it
helps us to tell each other of the things which are
near our hearts. The work in Minnesota is the
seine as in ever missionary field, and so I write
freely td you, whom the providence of„ Clod has
made the almoners of the. Church in missionary
work within our Western borders.
" The Winter visitation, although more severe,
VII account of the intense cold and, storms, has been
very Joyous and blessed. I have baptised thirteen
adults, and thirty-nine children, confirmed' ninety
three persons, preached more than one hundred
times, and celebrated the Holy Communion fifteen
times, The congregations have been : unusually
largeond many times tearful eyes'have shown the
feeling that God was nigh, and that they were called
to repentance. More than two-thirds of these, ser
vices were held in sehool-houses, log cabins, or pub
lic, rooms. 'There were no other notices at many
places.than the one dent the postmaster in Nove,m
ber, but in every instance the people had remem
bered the appointinenty`ituf made preparation."

lope not. to le Bought. -- A Methodist
chaplain, describing some scenes of the Shiloh bat
tle, says : " Near a little stream was a wounded
young man, whern the . Writer desired to remove to
a more comfortable place, as the ambulances could
not carry him off the field that night. Ohl no,
sir, I thank you,' he said, adding, ' the ground is
warm under me, mid I
,have been so cold since I
was wounded.' Near by I found ayoung man who,
in answer to an inquiry'as to' his hope in Christ; re
plied : Oh I yes; and for this hope, humble as it
is, I would not, Mien. worlds. -It ie my all now.'
Tuesday morning the wounded were all removed,

A Soldier's Chureh.—A: correspondent of the

of a chapel tent of one of the Connecticut regiments
I do not boast when I say it is the finest tent on
the island. Its size is 20i by 27i feet, and accom
modates 300 standing. The door of the tent can
always be thrown back; ,S 0 that the chaplain could

diversity of Uses to which it is put proves its value.
It.is our church. Sabbath afternoon the usual ser
vice is held. Sabbath evening a Bible class or Bible
conversation occupies an hour. This combinea the
study of the Bible with prayer and - conference.
Tuesday and Saturday evenings are giVeri.to prayer
meetings. These evening meetings have thus far
been attended , by an average of, seventy-fiVe. When
the men are • acclimated and rested the'number will
be much greater.. Wednesday evening a singing

Ili Faith dnit Lorre of Native Chris' ttarts.—
The Board of Foreign ns for the Reformed
Dutch Churek—The .Arcot. Churches, India, have
been very importunate for the immediate return of
Rev. Dr. Jared W. Scudder. He has been impor
tuning the Board to return hint; and the Board,
fearing their receipts would not justify them, hale
been relieved in a manner which will, we doubt not,
increase their faith in God and faith in man, 'We
extract the following from the Christian Intelligen-
My DEAR jAugo,—l ha:ve good news for you.
Our poor Churches, hearing that the Board have
failed in procuring funds to send you to India, have
been making a noble effort to remedy the defect.
You know how poor they are. By making great
sacrifices they have collected, a sufficient sum to pay
the pmage of yourselfaud family to India-, I am
atitll6rizedVO saYto t you that our mitsion will stand
responsible •for> the sum of•eight hundred dollars for
this object. Sere is a loud call of God, through
these Churches, for your immediate return. I trust
no circumstances will prevent you from, respending
to it at once. The effect Of such a course Woulii
disastrous to the fixture . liberality Of our •Chairch
members, and, in my humble opinion, in direct con
flict with, the plain `indications of Providence. It
would be cruel 'to disappoint the hopes of our dear
Christians who have made such self-sacrificing
efforts to secure your services for the cause of Christ
in this land.,. Come,,then,,dear brother„oome quick

Protestant Parties Italy.-:-There are three
parties of Protestant „religionists and,agencies in
Italy- 7 4e, Evangelical and - Presbyterian-;Walden
ses ; the Party of Gravazzi, who is nearer Congre
gational-lresbytm thanany other form, and claims
liberty to denounce and attack, -as well as to preach
the gospel, (it is the man's natureito be combative);
and lastly, there are the Plymouth Brethren frater
nizers, headed by Dr. De Sanetis. Indirectly, yet
powerfully, the English'Bible and Tract Societies,
with the Free Church ministers stationed at Leg
horn and' Florence; help 'to diffuse written truth.
The mass of population are political, and little more
in their Mike of-the Papacy. The women are
devotees—the men infidel and ungodly. But at
Rome itself; it is believed, that were the Pope com
pellet:lto fly, there would be found a greater Protes
tant and Evangelical development than in any other
part of the Italian peninsilla.H. cur. of Presbyterian,

there were. only 449 Romish_ehapels in. Great. Brir

priests, now there are 1388. In 1829 there were no
colleges; there are now 1250 monasteries and 162

are more' priests in Eneland and Scotland iu propor

London Drinking Places.—The number of gin
and beer shops in London is 18,853, while the pbp
ulation is 3,000.000 ; that would give one gin shop
to about every 160 persons, including- women and
children., The number, of, butchers' , and bakers'
shops amount to one-third the number of gin and
beer shops -= so that, while there is-;one of, them for
every 160 persons, there is a butcher's and a baker's
shop for every 00 Persons t In 1859, 89:903 , pei
sons were charged with drunkenness, of whom 24,-
395 were women l't • Of the whole number charged,
56,161 were punished by the magistrates for being
drunk, or drunk and disorderly, and of those pun
ished 10,486 were women t I In 306 cases of coro
ners' inquests a verdict was found, "Died from ex
cessive &hiking." 270,000 persons were ,counted
entering. 14 of,the principal gin palaces of London
in one week, which would give an average of nearly
40,000 daily attendants at only 14 out of the 18,853

Perfcminiita Hindu Worship. The Rev. C. 13.
Loupe% in his " Recollections of an Indian Mis-
Sionary;" thus describes the worship of the Linga—
a stone emblematical of the worship of Siva—at the
chid temPle fill:tenons :
" The manner in:..which the poojah, or worship,
of this and of _every other idol is performed, is as
follows :---The person who intends to worship must
first bathe in the Ganges, from which he takes some
holy water in a, small hrass vessel. He then pur
chases the necessary offerings, which consist of flow
ers, rice, cloth, or money. The Biehmen'i'fell' q ua
that money is the most acceptable offering to the
god. Having procured the offeridg, the people pro
ceed to the temple. On entering the court, they
how toward the idol; and then walk around the tem
ple once or twice, or perhaps three times. While
they do so, they mutter their prayers andincanta
tions. Their prayers being in the`Sanscrittongae,
the people generally do not understand what they
say. BA cou!d We read the language of their hearts,

ended, they advance toward the idol, sgeend three

Before Riehmond.—The proxiinity of McClel
laa's great armito Richinond has caused great con
sternation there. The Virginia legislature has voted
$200,000 to remove the "women, ehildren and de
crepid persons resident at the seat of government"
to a place of safety.
Railroad communication, with the South by a new
channel, via. Danville, has been opened, with a view
to greater safety in case of.defeat by our forces.
Gen. McClellan appears to be extending his lines
so as to protect McDowell , On the 26th of May
he telegraphed that he had cut the Virginia railroad
at three- points between Hanover a .and the
Chickahoininy. - o f n the 27th he attacked, the rebels
at Hanover C. it, and routed them utterly, captur
ing 500 prisoners and burying 100 of their dead 'oh
the, field. Their logs is believed to have been 1060;
ours 379 in all, 53 of these being killed.
May 29.—A bridge, five hundred feet long, over
the Seuth Anna Creek, one of the tributaries on:the
Pamunkey river, on the line of the Richmond, Vre
dericksburg and Potomac railroad, was' . burned this
morning by the' Sixth Cavalry. This cuts off
.all
communication by railroad between Richmond and
Jackson's command.
The F e fftla Cavalry went to Ashland, eighteen
miles from Richmond on the same road, and burned
all the enemy's commissary and quartermaster's sup
plies which they had stored there. This Will prove
a severe loss to the rebels.
• On Saturday, the 31st of May, the enemy taking
advantage of a flood on the Chickahotniny, attaektd
our troops on the left flank (the Southeastern po
sition of the forces). The troops in the front line
gave way unaccountably, but Generals Heintzelman
and Kearney nuiSt gallantly brought up their troops,
with divisions from the other side of the creek, and
drove back the enemy at the point of• the bayone.t,
and covered the ground with their dead. On Sab
bath morning, the enemy undertook to renew the
conflict, =but were ropulsed on eveity side. Our loss
is heavy, but theirs must, be enormous. We'took
many priseners, including 'General i'ettigrew" , and
Colonel Long. Lewes balloon, with a ,telegraph
operator; was over the scene of conflict, sending imL
portant messages'all the time to "General McClellan.
Our advance , is now considerably in front of the
position occupied before the battle. General Mc-
ClellatOs command has;been extended. to. Fortress
Monroe; where defieraflXF. now entioned`. - Gen
eral Wool is in taitimore. ' • -
The'Shenandeah Valley,Hlt is summed' that
movements for the recovery of, this valley and the
intercepting of the rebel forces are now in .progress,
chiefly, on the part of McDowelrs division, which
advanced six miles southward on the 25th. The
General left WaShingion, Tuesday morning, after
conferring with the President and Secretary of War,
for Predmieksburg. It will take rapid movements,
like those of McClellan's canipaign in Western Vir
ginia,, or like Sigel's, or Lyon's, or Mitcheirsi to ac
complish such a result:

sylvania regiment- reports 265 killed, wounded and
missing, of 622 .engaged. This is believed to be the
heaviest loss. Col. Murphy, of this,raiment,- is a
prisoner, at Winchester, unhurt. CollAkenlei; of
the first Maryland, is also believed to be alive,
though badly wounded. 'Collis' Zouaves, General
Bank's body-guard, left in the rear to, burn bridges,
made the most extraordinary escapes and the
hardest marches, fought several times at, enormeus
disadvantage,. and. came to_ Hancock on . _ the •Poto
mac, on Monday, the 26th, at noon, bringing thirty
five abandoned wagons with` them. They have re-
cei4ed the highest praise frau the'Commanding Ge
neral and 'all the officers 'who witnessed their cool
brayery • • • • • • •
We count a loss of 1151 killed, i'ounded and mis
sing, in , all. • '
The whole sad story illustrates the fact,.which has
'over and over been illustrated 'in the war, that at
almost any given point the, enemy is able to muster
a larger force than our own. It is a miserable and
false economy, a piesumptuOus self-Confidence, an
almOst criminal neglect to develope our 'Superior
resources, and a needless-imperiling of precious in
.terests and riecious lives, to 'pretend, with inferior
numbers, to contend with this desperate fee. Wu
WANT :MORE MEN':; at Richmond, at Savannah, .in
the valley of the Shenandoah. - •
• ,Shoat-has been the exultation -of the rebels over
their successes in the Valley. On Friday, May 30;
just a week from the time of IKerdey's sur
prise, a brigade of, our forces entered Front Royal,
drove off the rebels; capturing 6 of4cers, 150 pi:sell
ers,' 2 enginei, 11 cat* and 18 of our own men: The
bridge over the Shenandoah was 'saved Our lags
was 8 killed, and 6 wounded and missing.
General Fremont,' who also hastened to the res
cue; ,overtook Jackson's-rear guard at strasiwg, on
Sabbath,.-June Ist. Jabkson was retreating, and
declined to, stop and fight. -
On the 31st our cavalry had, pushed beyond Mar- -
tinshurg, and'learned that Col. Keriley' is wounded
in Winchester.' '
The New ljprising.—Frorn 'three- to five hun
dred thousand men were offered to the government
in the Viiro'Or three days suceeeding Banks' - disaSter.
Gov. Andreir, of Massachusetts, called .out the en
tire State militia for a three months' service. The
Seventh regiMent of New York,,' mustering 800
strong,.again hastened to the defence of the capital,
- and on Monday evening' passed down Broadway,
amid an ovation such as they received a year ago.
They were, encamped near Baltimore. About•3ooo
Horne Guards were' ready to, leave;Philadelphia on
the 28th, but before that date orders for three
months' men were countermanded, and they re
mained at home. The enthnsiasm was extraordi
nary every where. In. Baltimore, which a year ago
was only restrained from violent demonstrations of
rebellion by the United States forces, a secessionist
dared not show his head for the mob.: Several
'sympathizers with the rebellion were roughly han
dled. At Hagerstown, also, a rebel newspaper' of
was destroyed'by the mob and several secession
ists injured.
Cougress.—The House passed a confiscation bill
on Monday, May 26, by, no means the most strin
gent in its provisions. The measure confiscating the
slaves of rebels was defeated by a very elose vote, 74
to 78, and was reconsidered on the 28th, by e vote
of 69 to 734 ,, It is the special , order . for Wednesday
of this week.
The Senate is at work on the tax bill. It has re
fused to tax either cotton or slaves.
An extraOrdindry Messa r ge - cilisent by the Presi
dent,te the House on, the 27th, in yhich the'.entire
responsibility of Senator Cameron's acts in employ
ing Alexander Cummings to make army contracts
at the outbreak of the rebellion, is assumed by the
President, l and cleared of all appearance of personal
favoritism. This is in response to a resolution of
censure passed April -30, upon Mr. Cameron for
these acts. We are glad that the good name of a'
distinguished and much ahused Pennsylvanian
so far vindicated. ' . .
The following statement of the debt and expenses
of the Government, was brought out as a reply to
tho•frequent assertions of disloyal men and rebel
sympathizers, that we were spending as inaoh, as
-two, three, or even four millions a. day. It was
made by Mr. Dawes, in. the House, on the - 27th.
The expenditures, of , all the Departments of -the
Government, outside uethe Army and NaVY, ;sir' tee
the Administration came into power, are as follows;
—For the Interior Depaittipant, Indians' and Pen

-, On the next day, Senator Simmons, who is high
authority on - , matters, of finance, made .a similar
statement, though slig tly varying in , some parti
culars. He said: The expenses have been much
greater during this, the ; l first year of g. k war, than
they •would be apy othertyear, if it should• continue.
The estimated expenses, or this week were $0,097,-
