More Ministers in the War.—The 'hist Chris tian Advocate and Journal contains the names of 17 Methodist Ministers who have recently gone into the army in various positions: ten as Chaplains, - ethers to raise companies or regiments and others as privates.—The Rev. J. Van Petten, of Black River Conference, Chaplain of Thirty-fourth New York regiment, has been chosen lieutenant-colonel of the third new regiment from Cayuga and Wayne nounties.—The Bev. W. A Baker, of Central 'Ohio Conference, and chaplain of the FortpSixth Ohio regiment, died of cliptheria on August 24, at the parsonage in Lafityette, 0. Baptist. Church Turned a Second time.—The Baptist Church in Malden . 311143., was burned by an acci dental fire on a recent Saturday night together with the organ, bell and church furniture, except that in the vestry. The edifice cost $lB,OOO, and was in sured f'or $15,000. The society lost a church on the same spot in 1854, which was set on fire twice be fore it was distroyed. Union of Churches in N. Y. City.—The com mittees of the Oliver Street and Madison Avenue Baptist churches have agreed upon the conditions of a union of the two churches. The munbined churches will make one of the strongest churches in the city, with, so good a location and church edifice, thut no better could be desirel.—Ezctmeaer. Army and Navy. September Pint, in the Navy.--This is the day,Sept, Ist., 1852, for the emancipation of the Navy of the United States from legalized drunken ness. By apt of Congress and the order of the Se cretary of the Navy, the Spirit Ration is abolished. Though (marring in a time of overwhelming ex citement from other events, it is but little noticed, it is, in reality, one of eh,: great events of the age, and calls for many thanksgivings from ail who love the sailor and seek the highest interests of.the country. —Tem,perunce Journal. Missionatiost Sons.—Five ,sons of missionaries now or late in Constantinople, are enlisted in the ar mies of dig Union. Savers,' other sons of mission aries are also in the militarY sarvice of the country.' One of them is the eldest son of Mr. Lindley, of the South African Mission.—N. Y. Evang. Rev, L. C. liatlack,—formerly editor of the Wesleyan, and one of the ablest and most devoted ministers in the United States, has been "retired" from the chaplaincy of the Bth Illirn,.is Cavalry, on the ground that he had not been recommended by an ecclesiastical body composed of at least five minis ters, A Mr, Judson, of Evanstan, a Methodist, probably, was chosen to fill the vacancy. The Wes leyan Methodists now have, so far as we can learn, but one chaplain in the army (Rev.• W. W. Lyle), and they are therefore but one ahead of the United Brethren.--Da ion Telescope (Moravian.) Obaplains.—Bev. E, B. French, pastor of the Congregational church in Chatham, has been com missioned as chaplain of the 39th Mass Regiment, Col. Davis, which left for the war a few days since. It is but justice to Mr. French to say that he enlist ed as a private, designing to go in that capacity. He went to Camp Stanton with the quota from Chatham, and assuring his friends that he desired no omee, acted as a private until a day or two before his departure, when he was appointed chaplain— Rev. Edward H. Hall, pastor of the Unitarian church in Plymouth, has.been appointed chaplain of the 44th Mass., (or Fourth Battalion nine months) Regiment.—Henry Clay Trumbull, Esq., the well known Sabbath school missionary, has been appoin ted chaplain of the 10th Conn. Regiment, and will be immediately ordained as a, minister.—Congregu tionalist. Ministers under Martial Law.—The Editor of the Cincinnati Christian. Ativocnts says:—The or der of Major General Wallace last week brought nll men, high and low, rich and poor•, religious and secular, preachers and people, to the same great level. Being an alien, or a " physically imperfect" exempt, or over forty-five, did not avail any thing. Fat men,anci lean, near-sighted and not near-sight ed, scarred and unscarred, brave men and cowards, loyal and . disloyal, warm-hearted and luke-warm, turned out without distinction of party or sect. In one of the wards we saw in one company four preach ers, the captain himslf being a preacherand a Mem ber of the Cincinnati Conference ; in - another we ,saw an Episcopal rector and a Methodist D. side andside; in another, another Methodist D. .1), and editor. This last editor was put on guard by his cap tain at 8, P. 31., Tuesday night, and patroled the streets till*, A. M., of Wednesday. He, with the assistance of fellow-guards, ariested several strag glers, and had,. them put in prison till next day, when some Were released and others ordered to re port themselves for Work °tithe Covington fortifica tions or for battle, as they preferred, Some a the brethren of _the Cincinnati Conference were stop ped in their peregrinations. Subsequently they were provided with docUmentery evidence that they were here simply on business of the Conference, and thus allowed to go free. Gen: Wallace said he had no objection to the meeting of the Conference, but that if he got into a bad pinch with the rebels he would have to •call on the whole body to help him out. Miscellaneou,s. A Comprehensive ikrayer.—On the fly leaf of Bev. Dr. I3ethune's Bible, was found written the following Lord pardon what I have been ; Sanctify what I am ; ' Order, what I shall be ; That thine may be the glory,;';,' And mine, eternal ealvatiqm For Christ's sake. • ' Admissions.—We are happy to learn that twen ty persons were received into the church in Bruns wick, Dr. Mauls, last Sabbath, 7th, in addition to twenty-two received on the first Sabbath in August. There are still others hoping to join the church at its next communion season.— Congrellationedist. Editor .Run ing of Street Cars on Sunday Justi fied.—lieury Ward Beecher has been pitching into the street railroad corporations pretty hard lately for running the cars and working the men and hor ses on Sunday. The other day he was inquiring of a Brooklyn conductor, in his own peculiar way, whether the Sunday riding could not be broken up. `The conductor, it is said, did not know who was con versing with him, yet replied, " I think it might be but for that confounded fellow, Beecher. So many of the fancy people from all parts visit his establish ment, that it makes the road profitable. If be would only shut up, the thing could be done." It is pos sible that, he did not know Mr. Beecher, but, we guess that in future Mr. Beecher will remember him very distinetly.Pittsburg Christian Advocate. Lutheran Synod of Eastern Pennsylvania.--. A. considerable portion of the time of Synod at its last meeting was occupied in agreeing to a Rubric for the public services of the sanctuary. The com plaint is becoming general, that there exists in the order of services in the Lutheran Church an almost interminable diversity, and hence many are laboring with diligent zeal to bring about some uniformity. This is designed to impart to the Lutheran Church a more distinctive character. At the session held last year at Germantown, the subject was given in charge of a committee, who made report, which was now acted on. The Rubric of the General Synod was revised, and an order of service agreed on by this body, which is to be observed by the churches in connection with it. toutotu •• two. The Late Advance of. The Rebels.—Up to Thursday of last week the rebels had done nothing of importance besides holding their own in Mary land, chiefly in and around Frederick City ; while our own Army was pursuing the same " Fabian " policy, being merely advanced Northward and West ward from Washington to the line of the rebel pickets. The numbers of the rebels are unknown to the pub lic. Every day brings•a new phase of the invasion before the excited public mind. Its humiliating char acter is intolerable. Poolesville was re-occupied by our forces on. Mo nday the Bth after 'a short skirmish, the rebels leav ing 7 dead on the field. Our loss is 1 killed and 8 wounded. Nest day, 30 rebels were captured. On Tuesday the 9th, a force of Cavalry froni - Me.- Clellan's Army took possession of Barnesborough in' the _rear of New Market. Jackson advanced north westwardly from Frederick City, and en tered Hagerstown September the 11th. Hagerstown is just South of the Pennsylvania line, and due North from Harper's Ferry. Troops had already been set in motion towards Chambersburgh, which is the first town of any size in our State in the path of the invaders from that quarter. Another report says the rebels remaining at Frederick, were intrenching on the Monoeacy. A dispatch from Harper's Ferry, dated the 10th, stated that the place was strongly held by our forces and that no enemy had yet appeared. It was reported on good authority that McClellan's Army was at Da mascus 34 miles North West of Washington on the same day. Call for Troops.—On ThuTsday the 11th, G-ov. Curtin issued a proclamation calling for 50,000 Pennsylvanians to defend the Capital and the State. And on the next day, Mayor Henry published a dispatch of the Governor's, asking for-20, - 000 men from this city. The Mayor also summoned a meet ing of the City Councils which took place on Fri day. Threatened Invasion of our State,—Harris burg, Pennsylvcrwier, iSeiptemberl2. The response of the people throughout• the State to , the Gov ernor's call is wonderful: Over two hundred com panies have already offered their services, and are on their way. to this place. Many have already arrived, and left for Chambersburg. One of our scouts was in the rebel camp at Hagers town for a whole day, and conversed freely with officers, and men. They all concur as to their desti nation—namely, the Cumberland Valley. Reliable information from other sources indicates, however, a retreat across the Potomac, It is known thatJae,kson entered Williamsport yesterday, at 11 o'clock A. M., and immediately crossed with 15,000 men and 70 pieces of artillery. A letter from Gettysburg Pennsylvania, same date, to the Press says: - The number of recruits obtained in Maryland is ndefinite, but it was evidently far below the calmi lation of the rebels, and several hundred soldiers are said to have been lost by desertion. One gang of sixty men.came from Emmetsburg to enlist, but, seeing the condition of their contemplated comrades, were disenchanted, and concluded to return. A few recruits have been obtained in Pennaylvania, among whom seven were from Millerstown, a few miles from this place.r. The report here is that the advance guard of Mc , Clellan's army commenced, at eleven o'clock yester day morning, to shell the rebel camps from Bush Creek, along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, five miles from Frederick. They doubtless soon found that the enemy had departed, and during.the after noon were, without question, in Frederick. Being satisfied of this, the citizens of that place now so journing here propose returning to-day. Our advance is •half a day's march, behind their leer-guard. McClellan's army, said to be 150,000 strong, has. been stretched along different roads, east of Frederick, from the Potomac up northward • to Westminster. Chambersburg, Sept. 12, 1862. Our town is not yet in possession of rebels. The pickets of•the ene my extend to within thirteen miles of us, and we can almost hear the tap of the rebels drUms. 13—Evening—It is now positively known that the rebel army evacuated Frederick yesterday, paAing through Boonsboro and Hagerstown towards Wil liamsport. Eye-witnesses state that the column was'from 0 o'clock A. N. till dark in passing a given point.• Their force is estimated by an officer who witnessed the movement at 30,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and about 90 pieces of artillery. A party of rebel cavalry made a dash on onr pie kets,at the State line this morning, and captured James U. Mcßride a member of a company of re gular cavalry from the Carlisle barracks. They shot his horse, when he fell. They took his arms from him and then gave him a parole, telling him they weie going on North ih a day or two. jv.:a Private Despatch to a gentleman in Phila delphia, Gov. Curtin says: I believe that destruc tive raids would have been made into the State, but for the raising of the people of Pennsylvania! and the actual presence.of troops on'our border. If our national army is'-defeated, no one can 'doubt that Pennsylvania is in great danger. In addition to the army of the State now pressing into active service, it is to be hoped that all the men fit for military service , will enroll themselves, to be prepared fpr future C-Ols to meet any emer gency that the fortunes of war may bring to us. - Gen. Reynolds is now in command. at Harris burg. He is well Ad favorably known as a briga dier general, who commanded a portion of the Pennsylvania Reserve corps during the seven 'days battle in front of Richmond. , Advance of NC Army.—Gen. Burn side, occupied Frederick- City on F idly thei2tfi; Amtriran Vtrobtter Gen. McClellan entered soon after and was most enthusiastically welcomed by the populace. All the Union houses were thrown open, and the occu pants, dressed in their best clothing, with red, white, and blue ribbons pinned to their garments, were out on the doorsteps and sidewalks, waving flags, and cheering and congratulating our soldiers. Vany houses were illuminated, and American flags hung from every window. One of these house, on Pa trick street, was especially conspicuous, the whole of the occupants being dressed in our national colors, while every window had a flag. The same scenes were visible on Market, Church, and other streets. i Sugar Loaf Mountain was occupied on the same day by our forces. The rebel signal officers were captured. : - One hundred rebel wagons were taken.. The whole force of Gen. Gen. McClellan pushedafter the retreating army by various roads on Saturday. This seems to have been the main body of the re bels.. How strong they were does not appear.. Harrisburg, Rept. battle took place to day, in Middletown Valley, between the Union troops and Longstreet's division, which was moving on the Boonsbero road, in the diree tion of 'Williamsport, with the intention, no doubt, of recrossing the Potomac. A VICTORY !! ! MeClellan's Dispatch, Head-quarters Army of Potomac, three miles beyond Middletown, Sept. 14, 9 40 it H. To H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief : After a vefy severe engagement, the corps of Generals Hooker and Reno have carried the height commanding the Hagerstown road. The troops be haved magnificently. They never fought better. Gen. Franklin has 'been engaged on the extreme left. Ido not yet know the result, except that the firing indicates progress on his part. The action continued till after dark, and terminated leaving us in possession of the entire crest It has been a glorious victory. I cannot yet tell whether the enemy will retreat during the night or appear in increased force in the morning: I regret to add that the gallant and able General Reno is killed. G. B. MCCLELLAN, Major General Union Feeling and Triumph in Wilming ton,' Delaware.—The pqst two weeks, have wit nessed more than usual excitement in this quiet city. Its election for city officers called out earnest efforts on the part of the citizens. .Two tickets were in the field, one called `:`Union" and the other " Democ rat," or " Bayard Ticket." These' latter had print ed upon them' the following words : " The white Man's ticket." The " Union" ticket prevailed by an overwhelming majority, electing every officer. The influence of this election upon the future poli ties of the . State can hardly fail to be powerful and lasting. On the 3d inst., a telegraphic dispatch was re ceived from Washington, saying that there was on the road a train of 48 cars containing' 1400 sick and wounded soldiers, and that many of them would need food, drink, and attention, as they stopped at the Wilmington depot. The news fiew through the city as on the wind, and in one hour thousands were waiting the arrival of the train, with tea, coffee, food, fruit, and vegetables of every kind. A Mr. Bradford and a Miss Slack had sent large quantities ofice cream ; Harlan & liollingworth's entire 'force of men seemed on the spot with all, the ice water that, could be needed, to fill the soldiers and their canteens too ; while to the very sick, native and other Wines were given and their wounds tenderly dressed. It was enough to make any heart, glad to see'efforts so humane, and to hear the hearty thanks of those who were thus kindly refreshed. The sol diers took a: full supply of all they would need, until they reached_Philadelphia,_ hut there wa.s_enough _ food of every kind taken back from the depot, to feed twice the number that had partaken. We re cord this to the praise of the humanity and the loy alty of the city of Wilmington,— Cliristianehroniele. Speech of Train on England, at Boston,—Bos ton, Sept. 13—A very large audience assembled at Tremont Temple this evening, to listen to the ad dress against:England by Gee. .Francis Train. May or Wightman presided, The address was highly relished and elicited frequent outbursts of applause. The West and Southwest. Clarksville Tennessee, ias retaken by a de tachment of ..our troops from Fort Donnelson on the 7th. • . A 'United. States Steamer, the W. S.

The officers and ere . * were liberated, but three free negroes on board were sold into slavery on the spot. Harper's Ferry Threatened.---A divion of division - he rebel army, on Thursday last, reported to be ; 15,000 strong, crossed. the Potomac into Virginia at Williamsport, some few miles southwest of Hqgers town, and firing was heard on Friday in the &rec.. tion of Harper's Ferry, from Which it is inferred I that the Union troops at that place were attacked ; by them, but nothing certain is known as yet of the fact. We have positive information that the rail road and telegraphic communication has been cut between Harper's Ferry and Cumberland. I The War in Kentnoky.—Blizabetlitown, Sept 14.—The rebels under General Duncan •attacked our Jorces at Green river, near Mumforclsville, about 3 o'clock this morning. The fight lasted till 11 o'clock, A M. Our men fought bravely, firing the last shot. The rebels were repulsed with heavy loss. The rebels sent in a flag of truce aSking permission to bury their dead, which was granted. , Cincinnati, Sept. 13.—The rebel army has fallen hack beyond Florence. Prisoners say - the retreat was made because they heard 'of Buell's presence in Kentucky, and had not heard from Bragg. Our scouts, late last night, reported that the enemy was retreoting in confusion. Governor Tod has ordered 1 home the millitia sent here for the. defence •Of the border. The,force of-regular troops, is sufficient for 1 any' emergency. , Two Victories in North Carolina.,--Recently a body of rebels 1200 strong, planned an attack 'on Plymouth North Carolina, but were met and deci sively repulsed by 400 :United States troops and loyal citizens, under the lead of an orderly sergeant, the superior officers being sick. On the 6th, a rebel force Of eavalry and'infantry, some twelve hundred strong, sarprised thb 't9wn of Washington, North Carolina, at daybreak, but were repulsed after a desperate fight of two hours, and pursued seven Miles. The First Regintent North Carolina Union Volunteers fought with great hero ism, Colonel Potter having a horse shot under him. Our gun boats assisted in the fight and the Pick et " blew up, with a loss of 19 killed and six wound ed. Our loss on shore was 7 killed, 47 wounded and Sinissing ; 30 rebels were killed and 36 prison ers taken. Our force • engaged was but 500 strong. Get Butler's regime in New Orleans is still marked with the promptness and vigor which, the circumstances of his -position demand. Prom late accounts, we - extract the following : On Friday, James Syme, one of the most promi ment druggists in New Orleans, and one of his clerks, named Henderson, were sent to the fort sentenced to hard labor with ball and chain for the term of three years. Ever since we have been here they have been shipping quinine, morphine and chlo roform to the rebel army ; but so shrewdly have they managed until a few days since that nothing more than suspicion could be fastened on them The property of Syme was immediately seized and con twitted.
