Resolutions were adopted on the state of the coun try ; among these is the following : Resolved, That we humbly recognize our depen , dendence upon the good 'help of our God for the success of our armies and thwtriumph_of our eause,_ and therefore our' prayers shall continually be that he will grant all needed grace to our rulers, that he , will bless our armies and go forth with them ; that he will prosper the right ; that he will eradicate all the causes of this rebellion; that he will soon restore to us peace and harmony; that he will in infinite wisdom guide us in a way by which in the best man ner every yoke may in his own time be broken, and the oppressed go free,: that he will bring rich spir itual blessings to all parts of our nation out of these temporal sorrows; that he will turn the hearts of all our people in penitence and faith towards-him self, and thus in Christian love towards each other; ' and that thus, according to his word, " the work of righteousness may be peace, and the effect of right eousness quietness and assurance forever," and that in the " unity of the spirit" we may have " the bonds of peace." Dealing with Polities in their "Private Capaoity."—The Synod of South Carolina in con nection with the Presbyterian Church, at a recent meeting in Abbeville, passed the following curious resolution, which is rather an amusing attempt to top:rate the secular from the spiritual. The mem bers of that Synod are only traitors in "their private capacity." They are too spiritual to deal with poli tics ecclesiastically Resolved,. By the ministers and elders comprising this. Synod, not in their ecclesiastical capacity as a court of Jesus, but in their private capacity as citi zens and a convocation of. Christian gentlemen, that our allegiance is due through the sovereign State to which we belong, and, shall be rendered to the Gov ernment of these Confederate States so long, as South Carolina ‘ remains in, the number. Declining a OaIL 'Rev. Dr. Gurley, of Wash ington, has declined the call of the Central Presby terian church, Cincinnati. Dr. Gurley, it was un derstood, had decided to accept, but protests by members of his congregation and others at Washing ton, induced him to yen-min. Entering into Corresponcience.--Fraternal coy respoildenw between the Old School Assembly and that of the United Presbyterian Church was estab lished at the recent sessions of the rpspective bodies. T ot h h e e l rs: atteieourt passed the following resolution among. .Resolved, That this teneral Assembly, believing that our Common Lori has glorious objects to be accomplished in behalf of the truth, and the evan gelization of the ,world by the Presbyterian churches of the United States, regard this as the initiation of a deeper feeling of mutual sympathy, as calculated to draw these branches 'of the Church into closer proximity is the bands of love, and to lead ultimate ly, through the blessed influence of the same spirit,, to that unity which is so lovely and so becoming among the chpdren of God. • A Professcir Elected,—The Rev. °R.>L Stanton, D,D,, now pastor of the Presbyterian church in Chilicothe, Ohio, was elected by the last Amiably Professor of Church. Oovernment and Pastoral The okogy in the Danville -Theological Seminary. Dr. Stanton is well known in the Western and South western sections of the Church, and his appointment will be: seceptable wherever he is known. We be lieve the eholee to be a judieiotv,one, and wish. Dr. Stanton a long career of usefulness in the post to which'he has been. call& by the Ohnroh.r—Presby tetzwrt , .

Editor General Asaconation of Iffinoie.—This Assoc ation held, its.sessions in Rockford, from May 28th Eo June 2d. The number of delegates was 'l3O. Rev. W. W. Patton, Chicago, acted as Moderator, Nipetav resolutions on the state of the country were passed, full of expressions of loyalty, and hoitility to slavery. It was resolved to raise $2OOO forlhe sup port of the Professors of the Theological Setninary; at Chicago. Rev. W. W. Patton read in essay on the relation of Congregationalism to. Chriatian Union; maintaining that the Congregational churches should be thrown, open, to all true Christians, and the min istrY 'to all evangelical ministers, and that all church" forms s and ceremonies should be so twanged as to attract rather than repel other Christians. Dr. Em erson said the skirt ;the essay was towards indif ference. , Prof. Spier thought it was a move in the right direction. The reports of the churches showed the effects of thavrar in draining off the male. members and the money from theirtreasulies, a decrease of contribu tions to benevolent objects, a lagging of the temper ance cause, a flourishing- condition of Sabbath Schools, and an unusual number of revivals for such a period of civil war; Ariny, A Delitilkattr Chaplain and his Substitute& —One of the war committee of the Young Men's Christian Ass' n, Chicago, remarked that he had met an Indiana soldier who had been wounded, and' as on his way back to his regiment, having so far recover ed as to be able to do duty, and had asked him if they had a chaplain ir his regiment. "Yes," said he, " but he only does just enough to keep his office from contempt; and our, regiment is none the hitter for his presence, for it needs 'Very'poSitiin-Christi anity in the camp--a negative article will not be passed upon the soldiers as of any. account." " You have Christian men in your regiment, have you not?" "Yes, sir, we have five chaplainS in our edinpany, privates in their profession, ha( if you: could attend some'of our prayer meetings around the camp fires, , you Would think that We had a little wheat among so much chaff as our army contain& Prayer was requested - for those - five‘priiiiiti Chap= lames, and the one delinquent official chaplain, that they might all be lights in the regiment with which they were connected. The Noble Teihperance Soldier.—The from' the Youth:a Temperance Advocate, refeis to a young soldier from Connecticut, the son of a, Christian father whom we have long known and res pected When the Connecticut troops started from:home for the seat of war, a youthful soldier who had , been trained to love the temperance cause was furnished with a thousand of our temperance tracts.. He immediately commenced the work of distributing them with his own hands to a few of his regiment, accompanying the gift with some remark. On his arrival in New York he was asked what he had done with the rest of his tracts. 0, said he,, they are in our 'knapsacks. What I could net.earrYin mine, the boys took in theirs, and we'll carry them on. Arrived at the camp ground, as, opportunity cifered,Meperionally suppliedllie — W - Vore Thus he became acquainted with the reeiment, and the regiment with him ; and he so learned the wil lingness of the soldiers to read, and the importance of good hooks, that he sent home to his friends, and got a library worth over a hundred dollars! The young soldier has been in two battles, and many fell around him ; but God has Protected him uninjared; and now, overcome by fatigue, he is sick in the hes pital, Bat how pleasant must be his reflections ! and surely his temperance and Christainfriends"will remember him in their prayers. The. American Home Missionary Society.— This Society has pursued its wonted course of use fulness, undisturbed by the- extraordinary events of the year—the great, rebellion and• the secession of the New-School General Assembly. Its receipts for the year were 163,879 dollars, a falling off. through both causes, of only 19,888 dollars, which is but &loss of 11 per cent. Of the receipts, 96,310 dollars, or 59 per cent., came from the New Eng land Congregational churches: 51,970 dollen, or 31 per cent., from New York states, leaving 14,593 to come from the South and West. The number of ministers of the. Gospel in the service of the Society the last year is 863; a falling off of 199, which is a rednetion of 19 per cent. Of this reduced number, 13 were in New England, ow- - ing, in most cases, to the greater efforts of congre gations to support themselves.. There is also .a re duction of 13 in the number of missionaries preach ing in foreign. languages ; A pert of thedoss is ac counted for by the falling off of 59 in the new ap pointments, which were 212 in the previous year, and only 153 in the last. The total reduction in the Middle states is 94, and the West 92. How rainy of these are Presbyterian churches that haVe pre ferred to received aid through the New-School' Committee, or that have been-by the action of their own church mutts placed outside of the just rules of the Society, we have note the information to state.—lndepeadent. Illinois B. S. Convention,—An interesting con vention, representing the Sabbath School interests of this State,was convened June 3d, in_Ohieago, in the_ M. E. church, Clark street. Different resolutions, sta ting that it was the linty of every Chriitian to - labor in the Sabbath Schools; that ministers should afford to this work the encouragement of their perSonal presence and the help of their suggestions ;" that childrens' prayer - meetings are advisable; able, in order to the temporal and spiritual welfare of Sabbath Schools , that the Scripture lesson in them should be uniform; that pic-nine and excur sions may be conducted profitably ; that it is impos sible to conceive the results of Sabbath Schools upon the world of mankind, were successively presented, discussed and adopted. Ignorance in Secessia.—ln the above conven tion, Mr. Fiske made allusion to the necessity of ex tending the work of Christian Missions and Sunday . School teaching in the benighted region of Secessia. Upon the opening of the blockade he intended to journey southward, to Memphis and New Orleans: to establish mission Sabbath Schools; would be-espe cially pleased to organize one at Oxford, the Athens of Mississippi, where ,Jacob Thompson, Floyd, Toombs, Yancey, Bishop Polk, and " one Jefferson Davis " might be taught, th,e commandments and, thelord's prayer. It had been Ms duty during the winter past to assist in administering comforts to the: suffering soldiers in camp and- hospital, and while there had been brought in contact with the captive rebels from Fort Donelson and Island No. 10. It was astonishing how very ignorant some of the re presentatives from the "first families " were.

It was accompanied with the. Constitution of the proposed State, both having been drawn up in. General Convention at Salt Lake City. The me morial sets forth that the Territory has sufficient po pulation to entitle it' to, be formed into a State, and that the people are prepared to thus change their form of government. The Constitution seems to be in the, usual form of most State Constitutions, and distinctly providesthat there shall be no interference with. religion, freedom of speech or of the . press— these to be governed by the dictates of conscience. The accompanying 'document's are drawn up with 4 • great taste and care. - The Senate on Wednesday, the 11th, .postponed the amendment to the Fugitive : Slave law, and took up the Pacific, Railroad bill. - - It was also determined to -appoint ten additional surgeons to the army. In the dismission on this bill, Mr. Fostei, Of Connecticut,. said there had been great mismanagement in the appointment of sur geons. Many of the sirgeons,were utterly unfit for their dutieo. ' At the battle of Wificheiter, many wounded men lay for eight or nine days without having their wounds dressed, and were buried in the clothes they were wounded in. If the Committee on the Conduct of the War examine this case, they will find that ,not the cruelties are practised by the rebels. There were Men' who had - their legs tuniutated, arid while they laid on the floor in agony were told to get up and go out by the surgeon; : and when the poor men said they could not go because they had no legs, they had been kicked 'by the sur geons, or men connected with what is called the me dical department. of the army. Such fact,s occurred after the battle'of Winchester. - Li the House, - a resolution of inquiry into al leged disloyalty on the part of Ben Wobd, of New Yoilr, was passed. On . Wednesday the Senate was engaged on the Pacific Railroad bill, and the House non-concurred in . the Senate 'amendmenta to theta.% bill, requesting a committee of conference. They also passed a bill making contractors liable under the articles of war for.frituds. The Tax-8111, as amended and passed by the Se nate, on , the 6th of. June, is likely to become the law of the land., The public turdens are widely dis ; trilmited in this bill, almost every citizen contributing in one way or another Ins part.

A correspondent ofe Press gives a view of the evacuation, which a drves to be, read, every one being left to his man ju gment as -to its value ori t just ness.. He says: Disa pointrnent and gloom, per vade-the whole,. army-I i 'All declare the evacuation - , of Corinth a Union victery ; but it is not a pleasant one. It is anything hut • che,ering :to reconcile our selves to the fact that tale entire rebel horde effected' such =a clean escape.. .e have been within hearing of each ,other's martial' ttsic for nearly foUr weeks I a We have had dozens o ,siege, guns pointing towardi Corinth, and within a tiffie over a mile of the ene my's fortifications. • We have had, .• in nearly every division, high poles; fr. ~ the top of which Corinth and vicinity could be ' • ctly seen.

Corinth could. aVe been taken two weeks ago without a very gteitt. loss," Beauregard would have Suffered a terrible defeat, his entire command would have beeome demoralized, and the "cause of the South" would 'have been at ail main the South west. Beauregardts army is believed ' to have retreated in a condition approaching to utter demoraliiatim. General HaHeck sa.ya:---": The immense destruction Of 'valuable stores proves that the retreat was a hur ried one." At one pOint on thurailroad, nearly two millions worth of Ordnance and commissary stores were destroyed. Deserters bring reports of mutiny among regiments whose term of service had, expired. General Popp, in his: of Beauregard, has reached okolona i on th4MeMphis and . Mobile road. 'Various stories have,l4 set afloat: as to the Pro bable movements orth*nce formidable rebel host. Richmond, Charleston; Tenn'Osed, ,and the lower Mississippi are named as points to which parts of the force have been sent ; and even diekion's army in the Shenandoah valley ia said to hav'e' re ceived reinforcements to the nuinber of 70,000 front Beauregard I These - are - sonie - pf the ranters of war." Meanwhile, it. is believed that this once famous chieftain is in digrace with the Confede rates, and that he is stillthastening away southward from the face' of the Main army.

Pursuit of jackson.::-The Shenandoah valley has been the. theatre' of rapid and exciting move meths and of sangainarY battles during the, past week. The rebel general, Jackson,is as much of a fighting character as was Lyon in the :west, and has displayed great, skill and boldness in his retreat, holding, our tired, and sometimes isolated, pursuing, forces at bay, and retreating safely after fierce battles or evetrassaultif uporr-par advance :;G-enerals Fremont and Shields have each been inclose pursuit.
