Rev.' Dr. Grundy 6f Memphis, whom our rea
ders remember to have been removed from his pul
pit by Secessionists during their rule in that city,
has recently been restored by the military authority.
letter to a Niv York daily, quoted in the Pres
bf eriam says :
-44 When the war first commenced, he wrote and
*fished Several articles over his own signature,
in which he deprecated the troubles, and showed
- the fallacy of the arguments advanced in favour of
secession. In lids
,pulpit he was careful to take a neu
tril poOtiod; and, 'while hblding sympathy for the
Union, endeavoured to avoid giving offence to those
of different views."
This did not satisfy the disloyal people, who com
plained, but the Dr. remained unmoved. Presby
tery then interfered and, removed him from his
charge about Christmas. Wheat-en. Wallace ar
rived he took possession of the Church and Opened
it for prowling by the Chaplain of an Indiana Re
glinent.
4 ,* Application has repeatedly been madelbr the
building to be given up to its proprietors, but onr
commanders have invariably refused, unless Dr.
Grundy was first taken back to preside over it. Last
week the: friends of that gentleman made applica
tion for the'church, with the special provision that
the Doctor was to be reinstated. General Sherman
promptly complied with the request, and Dr. Grun
dy once more sat iindet Ks own vine and fig-tree."
Rev. 3. R. liiitaint Pastor of the 0. S. Church
at Winchester, Va., having made' request of our
commanding officer at that post that Dr. Dutton. of
Charlestown be allowed to come within his military
district, for the purpose of assisting Mr. G. in cer
tain services, (lien. White replies that a "_pass will
be cheerfully grantml on condition that Dr. Dutton
among the services of the day, include prayers'
forthe President of eke United States,thesuppreBBloll
of the rebellion .and its concomitants--marder and

hoping to attend the services personalty, the General

The Evangelist says, As Dr. Dutton is a rank
Secessionist his presumed he did not preach in
Winchester.

Cumberland. Presbyterian.—the missionary
committee of this Church has concluded to recall
Rev. J. C.' litmstrong Prom Constantiuorle, and:for
the present, at least, give up the project of his mis
don. They make an urgent call for means to bring
him home; but "should he determine to remain in
Turkey under the care of.some other missionary or

return, shill be deyoted to other missionary ‘pur

Itaa Head.—On the 28th of July (Sabbath)
there Was a, very 'interesting quarterly meeting at
Hilton Head, at which are stationed the 97th Penn
sylvania and the 7th Connecticut regiments. The
Rev. Mr. Wayland, son of Dr. Wayland, of Provi
denoe, is the chaplain. of the latter regiment, and he
is doing much good. Major-General Hunter is de
serving of great praise fqr his kindness and attention
to those missionaries who are serving the poor colored
people, During the week ending on the 28th of
July, about one , hundred person were added to the
Baptist Church. At a communion service one hun
dred communed. The clergymen in attendance were
the Rev. Mr. Brinkerhoff, of .New-York, and the
Hey. Mr. Wayland, of-Providence..
Return Hoktfe of Rev; ffir—Eddy.—The Rev.
Hiram Eddy of Winsted, chaplain of the 2d Conn.
Vol., who was captured at Bull Bun, has returned
home. A thunder storm prevented any message
being sent announeing his arrival, stk,that no one was
on hand to receive him. On the news being receiv
ed that he was home, the bells were set ringing,
cannon fired, an& everybAy seam ed
,perfeetly wild
with joy. The next day a procession was formed
who waited upon'him, escorted him to his church,
when an address of welcome was delivefed by Rev.
Ira Pettibone, attended by other appropriao services.
In response to Mr. Pettibone's welcome, Mr. Eddy
spoke for nearly two hours, describing circumstant
ially his capture, and commenting generally upon
the rebellion. His zeal is unquenched as evei—to
use his Own language, "I am for the Union ten
thousand times more than ever before—my hairs have
whitened during, the year of my captivity, but for
every white hair thave scored a black mark against
this rebellion."
Missionary Chaplain Fallen. The pain

Trial of the authors of "Essays and Re
views."—The following are the points affirmed by
the decision of the English Court of Arches, in the
prosecution instituted against Dr. B. Williams and
Mr.. H. B. Wilson, authors of two of the " Essays
and reviews :"
I. In ecclesiastical prosecutions in England, the
court will not determine whether litigated opinions
are in contravention of God's *ord, but Only whe
ther they are in contravention of the . Articles of the
Church of England. •
H. The decision in the Gorham case is reaffirm
ed, that in all matters not settled by the standards
of the Church of England, liberty of expression is
allowed.
In reference to the Articles of the Church' of
England, the following positions taken in the " Es
says and Reviews;" are declared to be heretical, and
subject to ecclesiastical censure : •
1. To say that the Bible is "an expression of de
vout reason," which is, declared inconsistent with
the sixth Article. 2. To deny a particular, iicari
ons Atonement, and to make " propitiation" to
consist in a mere "recovery of peace." 3. To sub--
scribe the Articles in a non-natural sense, though
oddly enough, not to advise others to do so. 4. To
declare [deny?] that every person brought into the
world deserves' God's wrath and damnation, and
that there is no distinction between covenantedAand
uncovenanted mercies. 5. To assort that, after an
intermediate state of discipline, all will be saved.
IV. On the other hand, it is declared not to con
travene the Articles to hold—
1. That the moral element in the prophecies pre
doiainates..over the literal prognostications. 2. That
the greater part of the alleged Messianic prophe
.cies do not apply to'the Messiah. 3. To deny that
, the Book of Daniel was written by Daniel, but not
that it is canonical. 4. To declare that the fourth
Gospel was the latest of all the genuine hooks. 5.
To speak of the Apocalypse as " a series of poetical
visions,:' which is declared not to deny the Apocaly
pse to be part of Scripture. 6. To deny the Pau
lint origin -of the- - Bpiatle :;"'. 7. -T6 --
state that the Biblical account of deluge is " figura
tive." •
• In addition 'to these positive points, several liti
gated expressions are passed over by judge with the
comment, that though he thought their tendency
heterodox, yet he could mot, on account of their ot
acuity, declare them, in a criminal case, in contra
veittion of the Articles.
The kphantmedans.--A movement of great in
terest is beginning to spring up among the .Moham
midans. Some of their leading men have become
aware that opposition by brute-force, will in the
end prove unavailable against the moral and literary
;Weapons used by Christian 'missionaries. In Con-.
stantinople immense excitement has been produced
by the work of a German missionary against Moham
inedanisrn. A reply has been prepared and is cir
culating among the Mohammedans. The Sheik el
Islani, the ecclesiastical head Of the Meharnmedans,
when appealed to to have an answer prepared; is re
ported to have made the important remark : " Our
religion is old, it needs revising!" Abd-el-Rader
will shortly issue at Paris, in the French language,
-a treatise comparing Mohammedanism with. Juda
ism and Christianity, and, claiming for the former a
superior title to future universality. The Moham
medan schools in India-train their pupils likewise
for sustaining literary controversies with the Chris
tian missionaries, and it is therefore not impossible
that the contact with th - e Christian world will lead
to the creation: of a theologieal liferature of scientific
character among the Mohammedans. The?learned
Hindoos have already madegreater progress in this
respect, having organized a , Trac,t Society for pub
fishing controversial writings, against Chrifitiartity.
Separation of Church and State.—A very
important item of news is that, from the date of the
Ist of July, Holland will no longer have ministers
of worship either for Protestants or Roman Catho
lics. The state will continue only' to pay some
cuniary subsidies to certain pastors, priests and rab
bins, in fulfilment of some old promises or royal con
tracts. But the different religious communions will
have full liberty to govern themselves and control
their own elections. The government will no longer
intefere in the nomination of ecclesiastics, nor in the
meetings of Synod, nor in any other religious Mat
ter ; this is indeed the application of the great prin
ciPle of separating temporal and- spiritual things,
the Church and the State. Holland will have the
honor of being the first among the nations of the
old world to apply a principle which, sooner or
later, will be adopted in every. country. The fun
damental law. revised in 1848, ordered the separa
tion of the Church and State. The counselors of
the crown sought pretexts to delay the execution of
this reform; they were afraid of producing too
much disturbance in the national customs. But
the new king has not been deterred by these weak
apprehensiops, and the separation will be realized.
Progreso; 'of - ;manoipation.—RiAsia, before the
year closes, will have abolished serfdom ; Holland,
through tier Parliament, demands immediate em
ancipation in all her colonies ; Brazil and the. United
States stand alone on this continent as slaveholding
countries ; but Catholic Brazil is in advance of Pro
testant United States, for she forbids the selling of
slaves at auction or the separation of slave fam
ilies.
The Romish Propaganda,—The report for 1861,
is iyst, published. The entire receipts of the Society
amount t0,L188,009 ls. 10d. Towards this total the
British Isles in one year gave £8986 15s. Of this
amount Ireland gave £5933 Os. 6d., leaving £3053

pists of England and Scotland. •

Rumors of War.—ln the absence of regular
correspondence from the seat of war, the popular
ear and apprehension are sharpened to receive eager
ly the rumors that 'mysteriously get afloat. A.
weekly chronicle of facts therefore can but inade
quately represent the phases of feeling through
which. the people have gone. The comparative
nearness too of the vast array of rebels to our Capi
tal and the frontiers of our Slate, their desperate
boldoess and the failure of any of our generals as yet
seriously to check or: punish them in Eastern Vir
ginia, keep up 'the. excited state of our minds and
have rendered it needful for us to stay our souls on the
arm of the Sovereign Ruler.
Since Pope took the line of the Rappahannock,
the cavalry of the rebels have made fiery assaults
Upon his line of communication with Washington,
first at a point * near Warrenton, where he•captured
the baggage train of Pope's Staff, and secured valu
able papers and other property : and agairion Tues
day of last week, on Manassas Junction and Bfis
tow Stationa. On Tuesday night a body of rebel
cavalry, who must have made detour of some twen
ty-five miles from beyond Warrentown, swept down
'suddenly upon •a New York battery, and a few
companies of detached troops guarding the railroad
at Broad Run and Manassas, captured four guns
and turned them upon our troops, blew up a bridge,
tore up the track, destroyed a large quantity of
stores, and had their own wa.y generally all night
long. General Sturges was- sent from Fairfax Sta
tion to repel the marauder& On the following day
the escort of civilians going to secure General
Bohlea's body—he having been killed in an-engage
ment on the Rappahannock—were waylaid by guer
rillas not very far from Washington City, and es
caped capture with great difficulty.:
We give a continuous account of the important
operations of our army since the Prd ult.
There was considerable artillery firing on Satur
day, August 23rd, near the Rappahannock railroad
crossing, resulting in the repulse of the rebels ; after
which our forces withdrew from the Southern bank,
crossed over and blew up the bridge which we had
but recently constructed.
Both armiesAthen moved westward, the rebels to
find easier crossing, ours to hinder them. Gen. Si
gel moved forward to near White Sulphur Springs
on the extreme right. On Sabbath morning it was
found that the rebels had crossed in 6onsiderable
force 50,000 strong it is said. Another artillery
conflict commenced, as the result of which the rebels
retreated, and pushed farther to the Westward,
Gen. Sigel following them. Aztand was made at
Waterloo with no better result and our troops
moved forward a few miles and encamped for the
night. Our loss was 300 killed and wounded—
Brig. Gen. Bohlen of this city being among the for
mer. The enemy also suffeied not a little.
On Tuesday, it was currently reported that the
enemy was-falling back to - 0 140.9Pori—but-on.Tues
daY night, a large force, under Jackson and Ewell
got into the rear of Gen. Pope, as above stated, at
Manassas Junction, having taken an extended cir
cuit around the head waters of the Rappahannock
and come down through Thoroughfare Gap on the
Alexandria and London Railroad. Their advance
guard, of 7 to -10,000 easily drove away the 2 or 3
companies, at the Junction, who valiantly but vain
ly recented them. After plundering and burning
the half-million of stores there deposited, and hav
ing their own way generally through the night,
they were attacked ; by two Ohio regiments, who in
flicted great loss-upon them, but being out-flanked
were compelled to retire. The rebels'then advanced
across Bull Run to Fairfax station. A portion of
their force was also engaged by Taylor's N. J. bri
gade which had been sent •from Alexandria, upon
the news of the rebel advance. They met in the
old battle ground, and great loss was suffered on
both sides, Gen. Taylor being severely wounded.
Our 'troops were compelled, to retire, itnd the' rebels
immediately seemed to become übiquitous oier . the
whole neighborhood, from Leesburg to Alexandria.
All this , soon came to an ends however as Gen.
Pope's' dispatch shows. It is as follows :
MANAssAs JuNonoN, Au r gust 28,.10 o'clock, P.
Ta_Major-General H. W. HALLECK, General-in-
Chief:—As soon as I discovere,d , that, a large force
of the enemy was turning our right toward Manas
sas, and that the division I had ordered to take post
there two days before had not yet arrived there
from Alexandria, I immediately broke up my camps
at Warrenton Junction and Warrenton, and march
ed rapidly hack in three columns.
I directed McDowell, with his own and Sigel's
corps, and Reno's Division, to march upon Gains
ville,•by the Warrenton and Alexandria pike ; Reno
and one •division of Heintzlernan to march on
Greenwich,,i,n4 with Porter's corps and Hooker's
Division, I. marched back:to Manassas junction,
McDowell , was ordered to interpose bet Ween the
forces:of the enemy„.which had passed down to
Manassas, through Gainesville, and•his main body,
which was moving down from White Plains,
through Thoroughfare Gip. This was completely
accomplished, _Longstreet, •who had passed. through
the Gap, being driven back to the west side. The
forces sent ,to-Greenwieh were'designed to support
McDowell, m case he met too large a force of the
enemy.
.The division of Hooker, marching towards 'Dian
.
aims, came upon the enemy near Kettle Ann, on
the afternoon of the 27th.' and afttr a sharp action
routed them completely, killing and wounding 300
and capturing their camps and baggage and many
stands of arms. -
This , morning the Command' pushed rapidly for
to Manassas (Tunction,:which ',Jackson had
evacuated three hours in advance. He retreated by
way of Centreville, and took the turnpike toward
Warrenton: He was met when . ,six miles west of
Centreville by ,McDowell and Sigel.
,Late this afternoon a severe fight took place,
which has been terminated by the darkness. The
enemy was driven back at all points, and thusthe
affair rests.
Heinizlernan's corps will move onhim at daylight
from Centreville, and I do not see how he is . to es
cape without heavy loss.
We have captured a 'thomsand prisoners, many
arms, and one piece of artillery.
On. Friday the enemy received reinforcements
from what quarter is not now certain. Gen. Pope's
despatch dated on the field of battle, Groveton, Sat
urday morning at 5 o'clock, thus describes the en
gagement.
We fought a terrific battle here yesterday with
the combined forces of the enemy, Which lasted, with
continuous fury, from daylight until after dark, by
which time the enemy was driven from the field,
whiehwe now occupy. -
Onrtroops - are too much exhausta yet to push
matters, but I shall do it in the course of the morn
ing, as soon as. Fitz John. Porter's corps comes up
from Manassas.
The enemy is still on our front, but they are bad
ly used up. , We have lost not less than eight thou
sand men killed and. wounded, and, from the ap
pearance of the field, the enemy lost at least two to
our one. He stood strictly on the defensive, and
every assault was made by ourselves. Otir troops
behaved splendidly. The battle was fought on the
identical battle-field of Bullll,un, which fact greatly
increased the enthusiasm, otour men.
The correspondent of tle Press says : '
Up to the date ofPOpe's despatch, headed "Grove
ton, near Gainesville," we had captured all ofJack
son' s baggage warins, and camp equipage, and a large
number of prisoners. Tli.y fields were said to have
been full of rebels overcome with exhaustion, hung
er, and thirst, who readily; gave themselves up.
On Saturday further l i reinforcements , having
reached the rebels hut not our own exhausted
troops, "ihe former gave 'battle, and General Pone
k
was compelled to fall bac to Centreville. This was
done without disorder, ou wounded being brought
off safely. There on Sa bath the reinforcements
met him under Franklin and Summer, 60,000 men
in all. A Brigade of n e Z Pennsylvania levies is
included in these reinfor e n t s .
It is said that our captuies of prisoners and stores,
.
camp equipage,etc., are nimense. Thevarious trains
returning from the battle- elds are-loaded with tons
of,stores of every descripti n, taken in the recent
battles.
The Press gives a diva tyfrcrm near Centreville,
dated Sabbath 6 P. M., Which says:
~
This afternoon our wklnarniy is: massed ten miles
south of Centreville, bey° dßull Run, and not with
standing that the rebel y r has received such great
reinforcements, we are dri. mg the enemy at every,
point, and victory, enon.r. .or later, is considered
certain. , .

reports that'there is no fear c)f starvation among his

A very successful expedition was earned out by
our army and navy on the Misassippi river, a report
of which was telegraphed from Helena Ark. August,
25th. The scene of the operations was Milliken's
Bend and the Yazoo river.
The rebel transport boat !'air 'Play was captured
with a large , cargo .of arms and amunition, twelve
hundred new Enfield rifles, four thousand new musk
ets, with accoutrements complete : a large quantity
of fixed amunition, finir field guns, .Mounted how
itzers and small arms. A- rebel-force was pursued
by the troops to. MonroeJ4ouisiana, where there is
a railroad and telegraph.
The depot was burned and telegraph destroyed,
cutting off the communication and connection of
Vicksburg with. Little Rock and Providemie, Louisi
ana. Thirty-five prismers were taken, and: a large
number of negroes who were in the rebel force
were brought away.' Eleven hogsheads of sugar,
three baggage wagons and six trucks were destroyed,
our troops not having the means of transportation
to bring it to .the river; ,A tportion of the force,
with the rams, entered &hp Yazoo river, where a
battery of forty-two pounders and two field-pieces
were taken, the enemy 'fleeing without firing a gun.
The heavy pieces were destroyed, and the field
pieces brought away. The expedition ascended the

Important Pads. Constant writing for six
months done cheaper with our Gold Pens than with
steel ; therefore, it is economy to. use Gold Pens.
The Gold Pen remains unchanged by years of con
tinued use, while, the Steel Pen is ever changing by
corrosion and wear; therefore, perfect uniformity'of
writing is obtained only:by the use of the Gold E'en.
The Gold Pen is always' ready and reliable, while
the Steel Pen must be p f ten condemned and a new
one selected ; therefore in the use of the Gold Pen
there is
