General Assembly of the Cumberland Pres
byt,erlan Church.—the General Assembly of the'
Omni: t ortoi Presbyterian Church, met at Owens
boro, Kentucky, on the 16th, the opening sermon
being preaChed by Milton Bird, D.D., of Indiana.
Rev, P. G. of Missouri, was elected Moderator,
Rev. Z. C. Bowden of Kentucky, Clerk ; and Rev.
A. Randolph of Indiana, Assistant Clerk. ,
The Treasurer of the. Assembly having failed to
appear either last year or. this, the place was declared
Yam*. by A unanimous.vote, and the stated clerk,
Dr. Bird, made ea-officio Treasurer. The :Evans
mite Journal says there will not be a dismember
ment of the elxhreh. Th'ere were no commissioners
present from any point south of Kentucky or Mis
souri. The Church has two theological institutions,
16 chartered - colleges,. and 13 academies ; 24 Synods,
97 Presbyteries ; 1270 churches; 1150 ministers, 400
litobationers for the ministry; and about 120,000
communicants-most of whom, he thought, were
loyal to the Government of the United States.
Dr. Palmer and the Confederate Assembly.—
The New Orleans D4ta, of May sth, is "requested

World. we make a few extracts in regard to their
foreign field. The mission to New Granada, now
called the "United States of Oolumbiai" has been
much prospered. • •
The Bay., Ramon Monaelvat,ge, . the _missionary,
with his fan*, reached Panama in April, 1861,
and entered ets once upon hislabors by commencing
a weekday and Sabbath School in his own hired
house, and by making visits to the families Of the
city and , to the schools to supply them with the
New Testament, and wherever it was practicable,
with the entire Bible and religious tracts. Almost
from the first he was allowed the use of an old Ro
man Catholic Church, which had been converted
into a theatre, fors public service on Sabbath even
ings, which, was -wfil attended, Some disturbance
having been,made at the first and second meetings
by children and youth, at the instigation, it was be

the Municipal and State authorities to kraut, him
the protection which the Constitution of the Repub
lk of New - Granada Ina* called the Republic of the
United Stater of Columbia) accords to all forms of
religiork ,wership. This protection was promptly
granted, and Mr. M. thenceforth pursue4l his work.
without further hindrance. He has since removed
to Carthame, where be prosecutes his work dilli

BELGMS..--,—There are few countries on the conti
nent of Europe rherc,Frotestant4m.,basluade such
decided advances within the last twentyifive years as
Belgium.' There is reason to believi that there were
few, if any, native Protestants in theishole
dom in 1830. But now, irrespective of resident,Pro
testants from other lands, theriare many 'thousands
of Belgians who have renounced popery, and are
members, of evangelical congregations. Within
twenty-five years nearly 275,080 copies of the sacred
volume in French, Flemish, Dutch and. German,
have been circulated in this kingdom of four millions
and a half of people, who were not long since more
thoroughly the adherents of Rome than any other
nation in Europe, not even excepting the Italians
and the Spanish.
Editor
The Evangelical Society of Belgium, which is at
once a Society and a Synod, has several chapels in
Brussels, and one in almost every considerable city
in the kingdom. Every year the number of its cha
pels increases. It has 16 bi 18 pastors, sor 6 evan
gelists, 10 colporteurs, and 16 teachers; in all 48 or
`5O agents. Six,of its pastors.preach in Flemish. In
no papal country in 'the world is the Gavernment
more tolerant and impartial than in Belgium under
its Protestant monarch. Scarcely a year passes in
which some colporteur is not maltreated and some
of his books.. destroyed by a fanatical populace, in
stigated by the priests. But seldom does such an
outrage happen a second time in the same plam, for
the civil authorities are sure to inflict just and prompt
punishment.
TELE Ardzareax Cu.&pitt PARlS,'whielk the
so
coeiety caused to be,erected six years ago, has from
the first 'been, we have reason to believe, a great
blessing to our countrymen ; both residents and vim
tors of that gay and seductive city. The structure
is beautiful, and its situation is convenient for the
greater part of the Americans who spend their win
ters in the French capital. Under,the ministrations`
of the Rev. John McClintock, D.D., the present,
able and eloquent preacher, its services, both morn
ing and afternoon of the Lord's day; are well atten
ded. , And so liberal have been the contributions of
thosawho have attended 'it the past year, that the
Society has . not been.called mi,to contribute a dollar
to sustain it ' - "We doubt whether another chapel pp
the continent has been better supported', if as well.'
TEE Wow( IN ITALY.—The Waldenses, aided by
their friends in England, the United States, and
other countries, have extended their missions, and
opened their chapelsin most of the important cities
in Northern Italy, and sent evangelists and celpor
tears into the Islands of Sardinia and They
have transferred their,theological seminary frem La
Tour in the "Vales" to Florence, where krofessors
Revel and Geymonat give their lectures to ten or fif
teen students, in the Salviati Palace, which has been
bought' by English and American friends for that
use. On the other hand, the "Italian Church," or
the "Fratelli," (Brethren,) as they are sometimes
called, are also increasing their efforts. At the head
of this new Church, composed entirely of Italian
converts from. Rome, are Dr. De Sanctis, formerly -a
favorite preacher of thelate Pope, Gregory XVI,
and Sig. Mazzarella, formerly a Neapolitan lawyer,
but converted at Turin when in exile in that'city
some years ago. Gualtexi and Count Guice . iardini
are also leading men in it. This new Church has
two or three chapels in Flerence, one at Genoa, one
at Tilrin, one:in 'Pisa, and. in other places.' They
have lately opened a theological school at Genoa, M
which Dr. De Sanctis, who is pastor of their church
in that city, and Sig. Mazzarella, who has for some
time been Professor in the University of Bologna,
and is also a member of' Parliament'at Turin, are the
Profesiors, and give their instructions to some fif
teen-students, most if not all of whom desire to take
a shorter course of preparation for the ministry than
that of the Waldensian Churches . .. Thus two
Churches are rising up in Italy, one Presbyterian,
with its "Church Sessions" and its "Synods"; the
other may Trove to be the "Congregational" - ,`or
"Wesleyan."
SPAlN.—Through the reading of the sacred Scrip
.
ledge of the way of salvation in Barcelona, Alicante,
Carthagena, Malaga, Granada, and Seville. Little
meetings have for some time been held in private
houses in those eitiek fer the reading and expound
ing ofthe Bible, anti for praise and prayer. Incipis
ent churches are thus forming. But the emissaries
of Rome have denounced these:meetings 'to the, po
lice, and the civil government, which in Spain has
long been the slave of that Church,,has arrested and
thrown into prison a large number of these excellent
people, for no other crime thin that of turning' away
from the Romish Church. Three of these converts,
Matamoras, Ahem: andTrigo, haVe been sentenced
to eleven years (not seven, as was first reported) of
penal labor, in the Galleis of Aftiat., and some half
a dozen more to two years' close imprisonment. And
where this perseention will stop . we know not.
AUSTRIA. —ln: no part'of the world has there
been so great a change within the last two years as
in Austria. From being a despotic empire it has
become a constitutional OWN very much after the
form of England, with this exception, that the sev
eral States which compose the ,empire have each a
constitutional provisional government, 'some4hat
resembling that of the States in our Union. Austria
now enjoys a large amount of religions as well as
civil liberty. Had for the first ; ime Protestants have
been put in...possession_of. their rights of conscienee
and worshiP. The "Concordat" made some ten
years, ego with Rome has been annulled. A new
era has begun to dawn upon that important court,
try,', with its many nationalities and its '37;000,009
inhabitants. What a;field it will present by and.by
for Missions I ' - -
[To the above we may add ,the following recent
indication of continued progress in the same liberal
direction, which we find in the Church dountiel.]
4uitria, his taken Still another great Step in, ad
vance. he,has formally repudiated the dOetritie of
intervention in the affairs of foreign nations. The
Grand Dukes and the c ex-Kip_ of.-Naples and-the
Pope'S temporal power, are - thrown overboard, it
would seem ; and.,Austria's position in Italy. is de
clared to be merelyldefensive.
Sympathy for American Missions. in ' TurkeY,
in this time ofneed, is exhibited among the kvan
geheal Christians of Germany. Contributions to the

St. JenharOs and the King.—The Church
journal says that while King Victor Emanuel was
making his recent triumphant , visit to Naples, he
went to pay his respects , to St. Janua,rins, and the
saint considered the King to be sufficiently orthodox
(notwithatandinglds quarrel with the'Pope) to be a
worthy witness of the "minicle" .of the liquefying
of his blood; and accordingly the liquefaction "suc,
Beaded admirably." The King; not to be outdOne
by, the uaint, sent to the latter, a handsome necklace
of brilliants worth 80,000 ducats;:whereupon the
saint was'so delighted that his blood 'melted again of
its own accord I Some, of the populace were so frantic ;
with delightthat they threw, hemselves down under
the feet of the King's'liorse, and after being almost
trodden on leaped up again shouting Viva Italia.,
Viva, Vittaria..Envmafiueler 1,/
Ralf-Pay Preaching: = The discussions at the
late General Assembly, Old School, Columbus, 0.,
on the support of the• ministry, brought out the
truth, that when "a minister is in debt or is crippled
in his" iesourees; he loses, Obit hair their' lairig
power of his brain." , When will congregations learn
the truth, that , as they stint their preacher or are
tardy and negligent in paying their dues, they reduce
the quality of the preaching.
Clergymen in the Pield.—The minutes of the I
'bonference of the Methodist Episcopal Churoji aind
other official sources, show that there are 322 cler
gymenof that bOdy in the 1601 'artily. Of these,
there are tiny colonel* two lieutenant-ecilonell, one
major, thirtraiv captains, twenty inferior officers,
ten privates, and two hundred and forty chaplains.
Miscellaneous.
. Vote on Lay Representation.---The Christian
Advocate sums up the votes thrown in twenty-four
Conferences on this subject, as follows: Ministers,
755 for, 1591 against; People, 13,737 for, 16,565
against lay representation. In the Philadelphia -
Conference there was a ministerial majority of seven,
and a popidar majority of several hundred in favor
of the measure. In the Pittsburg Conference the
people voted against it two to one; in Western 'Vir
ginia four to one : in Northern Indiana over three to
one, The New York and New England Confer
ences generally voted the other way, though but few
votes were cast and little interest manifested. The
whole result is surprising, and shews that some
things unpopular, in one sense may be popular in
another.

Virginia.—Th,e Battle of Fair Oaks.—This is
the name given by Gen. McClellan to'ithe battle re
cently fought near Richmond. Further details show
the obstinate and bloody character of ihe -combat.
Like the battle of Pittsburg Landing, which it re
sembles in many of its features, the advantage of
the first day's fight (Saturday, May 31st) remained,
for the most part r with the rebels. The arrival of
Sumner's corps, late in the, afternoon of that day,
saved our ferces'froni font by the greatly su
perior numbers of the enemy, At the point of the
bayonet this gallant corps checked the advance of
the enemy arid snatched victory from his gralp. ,, (14
loss in killed:and wounded will reach an aggregate
of 6500. A large proportion of officers are killed and.
wounded. It is thought that the loss of the rebels
must be from, ten to twelve ; thousand. Our batte
ries, some . of which used grape and, canister at
short range, cut winnows in their ranks, an& in
many cases succeeded in,,pouring an 'enfilading fire
into them. The fire of our musketry was steady and
heavy. Since this contest our army his advanced
to within four miles of the capital;: and General Mc-
Clellan has issued the following address to his sol
diers, will&betisidered as indicating that another
desperate battle is not tar off :
Soldiers of the Army of the Potomac: I have ful
filled 'at least a part of my promise to you. Yon
are now thee to face with 'the rebels, who' are held
at bay in front of the Capital. The final and decisive,
battle, is at hand. Unless you belie your past histo
ry, the result cannot be for a .moment doubted. If
the troops Who labored so faithfully and fought so
gallantly
.at Yorktownisnd who So bravely won, the
hard fight's at Williamsburg, West Point, Hanover
Court House and-Fair Oaks, now prove worthy of
their antecedents, the victory is surely ours.
The events of every day prove your superiority.
Wherever you have met the enemy you have beaten
him. Wherever you have used the bayonet he has
given, way, in panic and disorder. •
I ask of you now one last, crowning effort. The
enemy has staked his- all on the issue of the coming
battle. Let us meet him and' rush bite here, in the
very centre of the rebellion. _
Soldiers, I will he with you in this battle, and
share its-dangeni with You. Our confidence in each
other is mow founded upon the past. Let us strike
the blow which into restore peace and union to this
distracted: land. Upon
,your, valor, discipline and
mutual confidence the result depends. ,
On Thursday, June sth, an artillery fight was be
gun by the rebels opposite New Bridge, with a vie*
of preventing the destruction of the bridge. Three
of onr batteries 'replied, and caused them to retreat
after a hot fire of two hours.

Dispersion of Jackson's Rebel Poraes.—News
from General Shields' division, states that a scouting
party crossed the river at theibolumbian Bridge,
and went to New Market, but found that Jackson
had retreated through there three days ago.
Jackson's army had been reduced to about five
thousand men - .the remainder having scattered
through the mountains to kik, themselves. '

Probable Capture ; of Charleston.—lt appears
frOin rebel sources that MID gunboats have moved
nearer this 'city preparatory to an attack, and that
two thousand 'soldiers Iliad' been landed . on James
Island, opposite, where atliiiifion took 'place'.
Our • gunboats engaged in • the attack " doubtless
passed up Steno Inlet to thd - southiaril of Charles
ton. On one side of this inlet the land is called
John Island, and on the other: James Island. At

strongest defensive works defending,the city on that
