A Long Pastorats.—On Sabbath, August 3d, Dr. Spring preached his 52nd annual sermon in the Brick Presbyterian church, Very few pastorates now-a-days, are so long and abundant in good works as his seems to have been. In the course of the sermon, he stated that "in the years 1814—'15 there was a period of deep religious interest in this congregation. As many as 100 at one time, Within a few, united with' the church. During the win ter of 1828--'29-more than 60 united. In 1831—'32 there wawa season of great mercy. From 1,815 to 183 r there were five seasons of refreshing from the Lord. With the exception of only five communion seasons, during a period of 52 years, more or less were received into the church. ' Not unto us, but to God be all the glory.' In pastoral labors, including Sabbath and meekly lectures, I have preached something more than 7000 discourses ; written one sermon each week during the whole period` of my ministry ; have married 800 couples; baptized 1420 children; received into the communion of the church, 2306. Of funeral wry - ices, I have not preserved any 'record, and, 'though called on in innumerable cases to perform these services not connected with this congregation, I have never refused to attend that of a stranger." Investigation Proposed.—The New York Ob server has the following in its issue of August 7th: —" At the last, meeting of the (0. S.) General As sembly a large Committee was appointed, on re quest of the SecretarY, to make a thorough investi gation into the business operations of the Board of Publication, to see if more economy and efficiency can be imparted. It will bear the closest scrutiny, and will come out of it with higher favor than it has &ever enjoyed. We hope that those who have so of ten assailed it in the Assembly will now give it a final, oierhauling, The following notice invites them : The committee appointed by the last General As sembly to examine theitmstra ortne-martror-r.uu— lication, will convene at the Roomx, 821 Chestnut street,Thiladelphia, on Tuesday, 16th of Septem ber, at 10 o'clock, A.M." - Arrests of Presbyterian Ministers. -- Tft; Rev. Jamesld, Brooks, pastor of the Second Pres byterian church, St. Louis, Missouri, and the Rev T. A. Hoyt, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Louisville, ,Kentucky,, were arrested lately at Cin cinnati? Obi, and committed to the custody of the militaryat,, Newportßarracks,ntnck Kentucky ..We •We have not heard upon what charges they were, arrested.; but the Presbyter of last week speaks warmly in be- . half of Mr. Brooks, as one who, having ;taken, the oath of allegiance, would not, willingly violate the obligation assumed. Mr. Brooks, We believe, is a native of Tennesse, Mr. Hoyt, of Georgia. Xis reported`that Mr. Brooks has been released, and Mr. Hoyt sent as a military prisoner to the Peniten tiary at Jeffersonville, Indiana. Another' Death.---The Rev. Dr. J. G. Smart, of the United Presbyterian Church, died week be fore last. He was ,a native of Huntingdon,' Penn sylvania, was a graduate of Jefferson College, and a `theological pupil of Dr. Banks. He was fifty-eight years old, and had finished the thirty-sixth year of his ministry, had been pastor of a church in Johns town, Nevi York, and in Baltimore, Maryland. For the past ten , or, ,twelve years he had no pastoral charge. • , Remains of Dr, Bethune.---The remains of the )Rev. Dr. Bethune, forwarded to this country by the barque /incline, which left Leghorn on the 27th of May, are now daily expected. The funeral will take place in New York in accordance with minute direc tions left by the deceased, of which timely notice Will be given in the' papers. Rev: Rufas W. Clarke, 11.11., of Brooklyn, formerly of East Boston, has received a unanimous call to become the pastor of the First Dutch Reform ed Church in. Philadelphia. We understand that Mr. Clarke his also recently received calls from a prominent church in San Francisco, and from one in Massaohusetts.—Boston Journal. 'Congregational. Deficieneies in our Dlissinnary Contribu. . tions.--The Boston Recorder otbhshos the follow. ing from the Honorable Secretary of the American Board " Four weeks ago it was announced that the re ceipts of the American Board of Commissioners, for Foreign Missions for May and SI1110:had fallen $17,000 below those of the corresponding months in 1861, It seems to be due to the friends of the Board that this statement should be sUppleinented by another. , The deficiency for July is still greater. The receipts for July, 1861, were more than $60,000. During the month which has lust closed they have been about one -iiaV of that gum, The significance of this fact is too obirious to require comment. " The present financial year closes August 31. There %time enough (and none too much) to make good the deficiency of the last three months. 'Shall it be done ? Or shall the next financial-3 , ear corn Thence with a heavy andtembarrassing indebtedness? Shall laborers, anxiously looked for bythe missions, be withheld? Shall the native agency be curtailed' still more ? Congregationalism in nlindS.—The Minutes of the General Association of Illinois Tor 1862, makes a goodly octavo pamphlet of fifty-six pages, and speaks well for the growing order, system, and eccle siastical taste of the Congregational churches: If the General'Association continues to • progress as it h a : }stun {assessing the local associations for in stanceOt will bear a resPietable resemblanee to a General Ass/stably, with its contingent fund.

Lay Representation.—The Methodist says on this subject " While some of our Western Conferences are voting down Lay Representation, the Wesleyans of England are gradually incorporating it in their sys tem of government. The Recorder of London, speaking of the meeting of the British Conference this, year, says : --` Connected with the approach ing Conference there will be several features that will be unique and novel, some of which it may not be uninteresting to notice. One peculiarity will be, that there will be a larger and more direct represen tation of the connection'in the preparatory comtnit tees.. By a regulation of, the last Conference, a, lay man elected at each of the annual district meetings will be empowered to sit and to vote on four of these committees These, together with others of the great and good of our laity, who are specially ap pointed to attend, may be expected to be present, and will, by their representative character, give ad ditional weight`and authority to the acts of these committees.' " Editor :Western Virginia Vethodism.—A.• porrespon dent of the Pittsburg Advocate says : 1.: All the members of the Western Virginia Con feral:tee are logal. 2. They are all, with two or three exceptions, on their charges.' • 3. Out of a membership of eighteen thousand five hundred, we have only lost, by actual secession, about one thousand—or one twentieth of our mem bership. 4. We have gained at some points what we have lost at others. 5, Our Church has better prospects in Western Virginia than it has ever had. 6. We have a much larger membership than any any other Church in Western Virginia, and can lose more members without suffering as much, Carnal Weapons in a Wrong Place, —The New England Methodist Historical Society has re ceived from St. Louis a sort of pike or javelin, nearly nine feet long, slim and strong, with a sharp steel sword point, taken, with a lot of others, from the Book Concern:of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, where artielei of the kind were made to sup ply, rebels who should fight against the Gov ernment of this - nation, which never had done, and never could do them any harm. A Prosperous Iffission.—At the late 'meeting of the Irish Presbyterian General Assenibly, Dr. Edgar read the report of the Mission to the Roman Catholics. He mentioned that fourteen ministers had 36 preaching stations, and an average attendance of 836 at their congregations, and 767 at the preach ing stations. In the 52 daily and Sabbath schools under this Home Mission establishment, thereivere 1732 scholars under that system of evangelical teach ing by the truth of the Gospel, which alone made truly virtuous and fit for heaven. The missionaries had under them 14 colportenrs and Scripture,rea ders, of whose labors they spoke in terms of the highest praise, and who had been very successful in reaching the people. One of the eolporteurs had paid to Roman Catholic families 1276 visits; others, 1933 visits; while the Scripture readers and eolpor tours of one of the missionaries had last year paid 2720 visits to Roman Catholic families, The. Ro man Catholics were gradually- gathering around•the pulpits of their missionaries and itLtheir, schools ; and though in some places there, was opposition, amounting- to persecution, they had reason to be gratified with what had been done. The Premiers and, the !Catholic 'University. —A Correspondent of the Nen; York Evanolist, writPß ita. Maws f*,++•i_ll.llili n ender date of 10th: ' "The Roman Catholic prelates have Maynooth and Diocesan Colleges for the education of Roman Gladioli° clergy, and plenty of Monks' and Mins' schools for those who are forced -to take bigoted drilling in Popery for, a liberal education, and now they want a charter for their-University. Accord ingly the Ultramontane Members of Parliament and a number of mayors of Roman Catholic town Coun cils waited on Lord Palmerston. His Lordship, after hearing the memorial and the argument of the elite of the deputation, gave a positive refuial. He said that 'to-charter a Sectarian University would be counter to the principles of his Governirkent. The English Universities that had been founded in me dimval times were being liberalized, the Dublin Uni versity was , open, the Queen's Colleges :were as fav orable to Catholics as to Protestants. The institu tions fostered by Government and. Parliament, should be for the united education of a united 'peo ple.' " Another American. Missionary 31urdered.— The Levant Herald, of July 9th, publi-hed at Con stantinople, says " Hardly hadve reported the capture of the mur derers of the Rev. J..Coffing, before the telegraph brings news •of the equally brutal assassination of another member of the same excellent brotherhood. Thl4ll,ev. Xeriant, an agent of the American Board of Missions, stationed at Phillipopoli, who had been lately accompanied to Constantinople by his wife, left in the beginning of last week on his return to his station, and after a short halt at Adri anopole, had arrived within three hours (nine miles) of Phillipopoli, when the little party was attacked by brigands, and :Mr. Meriam brutally ;murdered. Till yesterday the intelligence had only reached the capital in brief telegraphic' koim, and we are there fore,unable to do more than report, that the Widow of the unhappygentleman finally succeeded in reach ing her desolate home, and the authors of the crime are as yet at large." English 'Congregational Colleges.—New Col lege, London, has sixty-two itudents,and twenty more were 'expected to be added next session The income for the year was a little under £sooo' sterling, and the expenditure more than that by £3OO. Hack ney College, London, has 21 students. and an income of' £2200. Cheshnnt College, Herts . , has 27 stu dents, its income .R. 1.800. • Springhill, Birmingham, contains 30 students—a larger number than for some time past, and has an income of £3OOO a year, which more than covers its expenses. In the Western College of Plymouth, for which a very hand:some building, at an outlay of several thousand pounds, ,has been recently erected, thettaxe but 16' students and the income is but £llOO a year. Carmarthen College, Wales, contains 31 students, of the Inde pendent ,denomination, and seven of other denomi nations of the Christian church. G * Mititi tit *VIVO Administering the Oath.—The Postmaster of Philadelphia, recently had the oath of allegiance administered to all' the employees of his office. He said in the course of a pre3eeding speech, "my object, in administering this oath, is to let the world know that all the men connected with this department are loyal and true , to their country; and I hope that it will be administered in every workshop or place of business throughout the laud, so that we may know who are the loyal and who are the disloyal." [APPialse] Arrests in Harrisburg.—All true men feel that the Government has grievously erred in its leniency to traitors at home and rejoice to me evidence of a. there decided line •of conduct. On Wednesday August Bth, at 3 o'clock A.M., Brigadier General Wadsworth arrived in Harrisburg from,-Washing ton, and arrUsted the editgr, publishers and'enailoy era of the Patriot and,.

The Sonthirest.—The army of. General Curtis still remains at Helena, Arkansas, and is pre paring for a movement it is supposed toward Little Rock. Nearly 3,000 slaves have come into camp, and are there employed. The slaves of the Rebel General Pillow have been set free.; also those, of General Hindman, and the house of the. latter is General_Curtis's headquarters. One ofpur steam ers had 'made a trip up St. Francis River, dispersing Rebels in two or three places, and killing a few of them. General Hindman isyeating the'few Union paisoners at Little Rock with great 'cruelty; they are in the Penitentiary, half-starved, and kept in filth and misery. Activity in Ncelellan.'s Army.—On Monday night oflast week, a detachment of ourtroops, under Generg Ekkoker; left camp for a reconnoissance to Malnern Hill. After marching a distance of ten miles they arrived at an early hour the next morn ing, at the designated point, and encountered two regiments of infantry arid a battery posted behind earthwork& - Our batteries immediately' opened, and,for three hours the firing continued, resulting, in the defeat of the Rebels and their inglorious flight, with a loss of one hundred prisoners and an unknown number, of killed and wounded. The loss on our side was three killed and nleven wounded. Daring the progress of this- successful attack, Colonel Averill, with five hundred cavalry, marched by the Quaker road to 'White Oak Swamp bridge, and General•Pleasonton, also with a force of cavalry, took the New Market road. The tormer .. met .the Tenth Virginia Cavalry and defeated them, captur ing twenty-eightprisoners without losing a man, while. General Pleasonton followed the 'retreating Rebels to within a short distance of New Market, ten miles from Richmond, capturing over thirty of their number. This ended the glorious' operations of the day, and our gallant men encamped on Mal vern Hill; the night`before occupied by the enemy. The President made .a speech at a great war meeting' n Washington held August 6th, at which the Mayor of the city presided and Rev: John C. Smith; D.D., offered' prayer. The object 'of the President's speech was to declare that the reports of differences between the Secretary of War and ,Gen. McClellan were, greatly exaggerated, The President said: General McClellan has sometimes asked for things that the Secretary did not give him, and General McClellan is not to blame for asking for what he wanted and needed, and the Secretary of War is not to blame for not giving when he had none to give. (Applause and:laughter. ) And I say here• that as far as I know the Secretary of War has Withheld no one thing at any time" in my power to give him." (Wild applause, and a voice, exclaimed, " Give him enough now. " ) The resolutions passed at the meeting - were of ;the most decided, not to say indignant character, urging the most vigorous prosecution of the war and' the Most summaiy measures with traitors at home. The following resolution was ahnost drowned with applause, and being interrupted thus, and by the timely arrival of the President, it was read a - second time : Resolved, that the National Capital is eminently the.place where treason should , be instantly denoun ced and punished, and that the most stringent Measures should be adopted , by the proper authori ties, Without delay, to discoyer and arrest the' dis loyal men and wOmediho infest this district, and that they should. be cOMPelled.to establish in: the most conclusive manner their fidelity to the Gov ernMent or 'forfeit its protection. . 1 It cannot be denied that our late policy of leniency, in the opinion of,the public is not ,only obsolete bnt suicidal and criminal. and a that the Gavernment l --vr......-nencrasiremb4nagect-tritaaet at once show,that kites really gone to war with rebels and traitors everywhere. AdviceLfrom Memphis show the need of an energetic head in that vicinity. A correspondent of the Press says : GeneraLSherman seems in a faitwapto confirm his title to the epithet of crazy bestowed upon him when he was cammanding, in Kentucky. ' There is no better officer in the field than General W. T. Sherman. He is skilful; 'brave; and cool,in danger: But as an administrative 'officer I fear he 'will be found wanting. His conduct thus far hai been ex tremely erratic. I wrote you when he first, came, of the general line of conduet which he,proposed to I himself, to make this a purely military post , in the strictest sense of the word, Twa of his acts thus far have been unaccountable in that view of themat ter. The first is= the entire abolition of the pass system, and allowing every one and any one to pass South,subject only to the right of eaniination and search by the. picket guard. It. is easy to'see to, hat abuses this may lead. It will be almost impossible to lay to any one's door the faultof having permitted any improper person, to pass the lines. „,T.t, will be impossible to prevent bribery and corruption of the picket guard. We are forty or fifty milesTrom any troops.of our own, ealt of this place. The'telegraph line from Memphis to curinth has been abandoned. The whole intervening space may be filled with troops, who may, under the present' arrangement, be accUratelyinformed every day of the number and disposition of our forces. Who ever heard of occu pying a hostile City; in the midst of an enemy's coan try, and permitting free ingress and egress through the lines?" The James River.—A Skirmish.—an Tuesday, August sth, General Hookermade, a recon noisance in the direction of Richinond. He marched ten miles to Malvern Hill. Here they encountered, two regiments of infantry and a battery, posted behind earth works. . Fire was immediately opened on them , : by Captain. Ben sons's battery, and a section of Captain Robinson's. The infantry was not engaged. The firing lasted for abeut three hours, when the rebels ingloriously fled, sby. the river ;road, towards Richmond,.hotly pursued by our troops, who'suc ceeded in taking:onehundred, of them prisoners. The •loss on our side. at this point was three killed "and eleven wounded. Col. Averilk with five hundred. cavalm took the Quaker road to White-Oak Sweaty: , bridge. There they found the 10th Virginia Cavalry drawn up to receive them. A charge was immediately ordered, which broke the rebel lines,when , they fled. Averill followed:them three miles, taking twenty eight prisoners, without losing a man, , , . General Pleasanton, with a.force of cavalry, took, the New Market road, on which a 'portion of the rebels were rstrtating. , He followed &ant to within a short distance of New Market, when, meeting two brigades of rebels, he fell back, bringing over thirty prisoners taken oir,the way. e New Market is ten miles from Richman/ A 'Colored Regiment—Governor Sprague;,,of Rhode Island, has ordered that the sixth regi ment from that State shill be composed, entirely of colored citizens. He sayst-- "Our colored fellow citizens are reminded that the regiment'from this State in the , Revolution, consisting entirely of col ored persons, was pronounced by Washington equal, if not superior, to any in the . service r They consti tute a part of the quotk from this State, and it is expected they will respond with, zeal and spirit to this call. "The COMlnander-in-chief will lead them into' the ffeld and will'share with them, in common with the patriotic soldiers of the army of the Republic, their trials and dangers, and will participatein the glories of their. successes.

BACON: The character of the work can best be seen from the following RECOIOIE"NDATIONS From Rey. ALBSET RtrixEs, pistor of the First• Presbyterian Church', Philadelphia. "I have read with as much care arid attention as I could bestow on it, a work by the Rev. William Ba con, entitled " lEstlretiaTiety or the beauty and love liness et the Chiistian Religion." The design of this work, as stated, by the author (pp. 23, 24,) is to show That the: Christian Religion'is essentially beau tiful and lovely. 2. ThatiChristians should: alive as much, as possi ble to attam and to exhibit all the excellences of this ' • ' . ' :S. That sinners . as . well as saints should candidly examine and correctly estimate the duties'and 'graces ,of Christianity, and thence be led to adopt and prac tice then in order to secure alltlie happineaste which 'they witlead." - • - No inc can doubt - the importance of the Subject-, thus 'missed. And in my judgment the author has disc- ssed them in such a way as to he eminently uses fel • all those who will read his work. The piety of thc church would be of a higher order, and the hap pi eas..of Christians would be much..greeter, if they a follow the counsels addressed to them in this ok; and itweiild be'for the eternal Welfare of those ho are" now Chrietians, if they wofild, at.the author uggestsilso eiamine.Christianity ; so lay aside allpre:. udice ; so yield_themselves to the conviction of truth, as too embrace the Christian system and practice kin theft. hies: I think that the book is adapted to elevate the faith,. and increase: the piety of the. Church; and that its tendency would be. to eonvince all persons that the Christian religion - 1S "Worthy of all accepta tion," and the richest 'gift which God has confer- sliOw 34 Whit Manner of spirit I,P I.R..afj utmost confidence in-his' piety, his zeal, and his de sire to do good to the world, and commend this work ---the.ftuit,of. the 'reflections. of many years, and the result of a desire,to do good when he isunable pub licly 'to preach the Gospel, to all with whom my name may serve at a 'sufficient commendation of the wcirkto induce them - to examin'e it . for themselves." From Rev; MARK Homms, D. D. L. L. D., Pre 'sident of4'PiYliam's College, and , of the A. B. C. F. . . " You , work ort " Bathetic Piety" I have no he sitation in Commending. for its judicious design, its clear discrimination of the elements of Christian character ' its, forcible commendation of them, and its full reference to those" passages of Scripture by which, they are:sustained.",! - MARK HDPKINS: From- the Professors of the Auburn - Theological Seminary. - • • "" I have read your work on /Esthetic Piety with entire approbation and umningled gratification. It is full of sound common sense, suggestive thought and Scriptural. truth. • It ,cannot fail to profit, those who will attentively read it. lam glad that while you are disabled from alliabor abroad, you are'able to divert your ,owir mind, alleviate the pains of your long con rfinement, and render. yoArself and permanent ly useful bY Producing such works " , .

R6v. WILLIAM BACON. • "The very discriminating and full analysis of the Chris tian character it.contains, classes it as an aid to self examination with the best extant r Worka on eXperi • mental religion; and the exhibition of the reasons why piety ISIOO 'often presented in ran unattractive form is full :of admonition to all Christians. As a work, not forpopular reading, but for closet contem plation, I wish it might, be put into the hands of every church member.' Seam.'

At the same time I am glad' to notice,' that you' do net lose Sight of those higher condiderations, which would make;it an imperative ' duty,and 'the true. interest of sinners to embrace the gospel, even though it 'should be offen sive to the nice taste of the cUltivated and refined."
