Rev. D. 0; Davis, las offered a protest in Cin
cinnati Presbytery, (0. S.) against, the action of
Presbyte7 in cordially and heartily endorsing the
action of General Asspmbly respecting the State of
the Count* , and of the Church, commonly known
as the " Breckinridge papers."
The follawing overture was presented to Presbr
tory, and answered in the affirmative i
" Is it the duty of ministers, in their puhlinmi
nistrations, to pray for success to our armies in sup
pressing the rebellren, and for the Divine blessing
and guidance upon our rulers in this day of,tlie na
tion's darknets and peril? "
Rev. W. A.• Scott, D. D., so well-known as a
late pastor of Calvary church, San - Francisco, and ,
whose name was formerly so intimately associated
with our difficulties both in Church and State, is
we learn, about to return from Europe. His inten
tion is to sail directly for Boston. Whether he will
accept the nail made him some time ago, by the First .
Presby4rion church, Boston. or settle in one of the
other cities to which he has been, as we understand,
invited, depends, he writes, upon -eirtumstances.—

Father Waldo , is in the full possession of his
mental faculties, and, participated in the religious
exercises at the late celebration of his Imndreth
birthday with as much earnestness and fervor' as
any of the younger brethren. His mind is intensely
alive to the condition of the country, the criminality
of the rebellion, and the necessity of abolishing sla
very, and he keeps himself fully posted, as to the
course of events in the war. He rejoiced heartily
in the President's proclamation of freedom . . He had
just returned from a visit to Albany. Rev. Dr.
Sprague, who was brought up in the neighborhooa
of Father Waldo's pastorate in Conneetiont, and
who went a boy to Yale College when the latter was
about fifty years old, had gracefully invited his ve- I
nerablo Irian& to-hiritospitable-ho jaresuth.i
for him on the first - after - his - - hundredth'
day. The invitation was accepted in a sprightly and
characteristic note, beginning':
" Srmousx,Sept. 10, 1862.
" DRAB, BOY : X take pen in hand, according to
your request : 4o inform you that, after tossing.sone
hours last night .upon. my , bed, and thinking over
the deplorable eimdition of our country, I cast ,my
cares upon my Master, according to orders anal
had sufficient time to rest before sunrise, and to re
flect that I was one hundred years old • ha. had.
38,500 nights to rest in, not 200 of which' had , been
disturbed by pain or anxiety. Not long ago, the in
quiry wait made in England, in what particulars very
aged men agreed in their habits.' The result was
that the only thing in which they all agreesi was
that they all slept well." ' '
Nethodist.
The Second K. E. Church at Urbana, O.;
Las adopted the, pewed system. The seats were
sold, a few days since, at prices which fully realized
the expectations of the, trustees. The receiPtS frOm,
sales of seal* will be fully sufficient to meet the cur
rent experukes of the church. .
" The' 'Western Advocate " publishes the fol
lowinktianely hints on preachers' salaries : •
"Hard .21itnes.—The age is one of baked clay, if
not of - Cast ikon. Muslin's, Canton flannels especi
ally,. rule fieghtfully high. Think of cotton goods,
which a year ago brought 10 and 12* cents, now up,
to 30 and 35. Of course the preacher's salary has
not been 'raised, but how is he to pay for needed dry
goods? Do not go to reducing him—do not sell po
tatoes At 50 and 75 Cents, and corn at 45 and 60, and
then say the tr'i'nes are hard. The times Are not
hard to you ; they smack of ,Government ,',notes
rather, and you ought to share the profits with men
who do not raise potatoes,or corn. Come, brother,
don't subscribe a dollar this.year, put down ten on
twenty,dollars."
Episcopal.
The Triennia Convention of the Episcopal
Church, as:we' noted in our last,' from the third day
forward of its - sessions got, entangled in, the great
question of our country's trouble's, and refused to
take the only straight way thereont, viz •—a hearty,•
emphatic, intelligible endorsemen& of otrft CAUSE;
paltering over a string of most inane, say-nothing
whereases Mid resoltitiois, the great bulk of which'
was an apology for their own framing and presentation
which, indeed did need apology - most amazingly,
only in quite a different sense, front, that of the au
thor—ex-Speaker Winthrop, of Mit4ilSag usetta.
We have no mind to, exult that this Convention,
which ever held itself at such a would-be -lofty
height above all possibility of the admisslop.of,-t`To =
li deal" questions into its deliberations, has been com
pelled to enOrtain such deliberations, to an extent
exceeding that, of most other bodies . Our grief is
that a body so influential should, by mere delay and
disputation, leave au Impression'on its own portion
of the community and perhaps, on others,lhat the
great questions involved in our present troubles, the
turpitude of treason ;and rebellion, and the entire
justice of the most stringent measures that.have been
or that can be taken in> Church or State, to brand
it as execrable and to punish it accordingly, admit
of the least doubt on the part' of 'Oorthoientions and
religious men.
We will not weary the reader with an account of
the speaking, rio and soh, it, which Hon. Murray
Hoffman, of bre'ir York; Rev Dr. Howe, df this
State, Judge Conygnghana, ditto, Rev. Dr.. Neville,
most eloquently ! Jr. Vinton most powerfully, Mr.
John W. Andrews, of Ohio ; Rev. Dr. Gtierien,
of this oity ; Rev. Dr. Randall, of Mass., and others
took the side of loyal'. ifien ; and. Mr. Winthrop with
other tii -d-any need of cataloguing them ? took
quite the' other position. Curious things occurred
—strange L eddios and waifs ,anci, more important
things brought;to the surface in the ehullitiou ;
tuovementaAo limit debqte of enApse, tia adjourn:at
such a time,' sepession pamphlets difitithated through
the house, or' attempted to be ; remarkable letters
and documents itiad—as a letter of 'lfistiop'Generai
Polk's to Garrett Davis of Kentaak r y;dated Janua
ry 18, 1852, which was remarkable chiefly for its
coarse vituperation, and its repealed declarations of
a pirpose to unite the South to England and France '
rather than submit to the North. Mr. Hoffnian
was understood to express his belief that " the Iwit
hours of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States had come." • On the night of the
Twelfth' day of the discussion, Judge Chambers who
is Ultra High Church and pro-Southern, made the
follOwilig significant statements:
"'He said, we came here with an overwhelming
majority. against ?touching the troublesome issues
that irritate society. What has made the great
change in the Convention?. Shall we be ashamed"
to hold up our heads when we return to our homes ?
He made a long and elaborate speech, in which he
maintained that the great change` of sentiment in
the Cotrvention should be attributed to outside pres
sure, and not the pressure of conscience. ,Where
was conscience ten days ago, when ;it ;was generally
conceded, that the question of Rebellion was not a
fit question to be brought into the Convention?
The agitation Of this question had broken down and
disrupted the Presbyterians, the Baptists, the_Me
thodiits, and all 'other denominations, except' the
Episc6palians and the Catholic& Bat we are now
on the road to ruin. The Church of Borne was: an
example the Episcopal Church should;follow irethia
matter."
Editor
Finally, after two weeks' debate, the resolutions
originally reported'by the Coinmittee onsime, were
adopted, without .arnendment; we benave. Take`'.
the following as a specimen : •
Resolved, That we cannot;be wholly blind tO , the
course which has been pursued, in their eeolesiasti
cal as well as in their civil relations ; .since this Con
vention last met in perfect harmony and love, by
great numbers of the ministers and members of this
Church, -within certain States of our Union, which
have irrayed themselves in open and armed resis
tance
to the regularly-constituted Government of our
country; and that while, in.& spirit of Christian for
bearance, we refrain from employing towards them
any terms of condemnation or .reproach, and would
rather bow in 'humiliation before our common Father
in heaven for the Sins which have brought His judg
ment on our land, we yet feel bound to declare our
solemn sense of the deep and grievims wrong whiCh
they will have inflicted on the great Christian coin?
amnion which this 'Convention represents, as well
as on the country within which it hasbeen so happily
and harmoniously established, should they persevere
in: striving to rend asunder those civil and religious
bonds which have so long held us together in 'peace,
unity,. and concord.
We add part of the . very sensible comments of
the New York Methodist on the debate
" Indeed, the whole course of the proceedings
takes but a shallow view of the war. The rebellion
constantly appears as simple rebellion, as simple
resistance to, regular and legitimate civil. authority.
Its wickedness consists merely in the effort to over-`
turn'an established government. Is every effort to
destroy .an existing government criminal? - Were'
'our fathers criminal because they were revolutidniiii?
Alai I hew soon Weforget; the hole of the whence
we were digged'! The dominance of the highest
elements of right in the Ameriean Revolution sanoti
fled; and alone
,sanctifeed, an act of violence. And
what makes the present rebellion wicked to, the last
degree, is not that:it is a mere rebellion, but that it
lacks every principle that justified us in the war, of
'Seventy-six, and aims a death-blew at liberty, and
justice throughout the world.
" Our brethren in the Triennial Convention might, ,
at such a time, have pieced out their narrow cede-,
siastical foundation with a rock or' two from the'
Scriptures, and not have given the world and the;
Church.to nndiatsinci thakall revolutions are . Niiek - `
when-theiriyvea-haliiiy.
their assertions: ln spite of -'Prayer-Book:'and ec-:
eleslastieal strait-jacket, the true question , for the'
Convention was not whether rebellion. is • a'sin, but
whether this particular rebellion is a sin, begun hs it
'was, without the Shred of apossible cause, and based
as it was and 'is,•' upon a stupendons crime against'
human nature.
Pasts, North and. South—Mr. Jefferson Da
vis recently proclaimed another fast, which his sub
jects observed on the, day when the , rebel'host was
defeated in the valley of the Antietam: Our Wor
thy President has pot choseri to imitate the South
ern Dictator in_ appointing a day of public fasting,:
but hai chosen rather to take counsel of the prophet
Isaiah "Is not' thiS the fast that I have chosen?
to,loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy
burdens, and to let the oppressed go free ?'?—Chrzs'

Religion in Climp.—A. writer in the NOrtherte
Independent, from the camp of the Auburn Sena
tonal regiment, says that he did not misjudge as fe l
the feasibility otresolving the camp of, war into a
great and gloriout Fission field. His expectations;
so far have been. more than realized. Though hard
very profane, some of them, yet these , men are;
thoughtful and more readily approached'on religions;
subjects than those at 'home. Many of 'their cap
tains are pious mem and the-Colonel favors religious
meetings. Prayer-meetings bid e fair to become a
regular institfitionirt.ithe_Cautp of the regiment. So
many accounts:l fronr,different divisions
,ofthe army
encourage the hope, that as
,this war iaged for
the most righteous cause ever conteste , it.will also
be characterized ,by a corresponding immunity of
our army Tram. the , demoralization mid-, growth of
vice which-have hitherto been the inevitable conco
mitants of a state of-war: '4
A Singular .Amiouncoment appears,iusome of
the Roman Catholic papers. It is to the effect that,
a large number'of offerings which have been made
to the Pope are to be disposed of by egeneral
tribution in aid of the necessities of the Sovereign;
Pontiff, on the 9th of Deceriber,lhe price of the,
tickets; entitling' . purchasers to'n'elidnce.ef
being fixed at 10d., or five for 4s. Amongst those
who are taking a lead in this papal movement are
Viscount Campden, Viscount Feilding, and. Sir
Charles Clifford.
Prayer of a Connecticut Pastor at the ropen
iag uf the Revolution....lt was read lately by Wm.
Curtis Noyes, Esq., at the Cooper liistitute :
"Oh Lord l we view with terror the approach of
the enemies of Thy , holy 'religion. yrilt. Thou Send'
s torm and tempest to tosa them upon the sea, and
to over Whelm them unon. the mighty, deep, ,or to
scatter them to the uttermost paris of the earth.
But' Peradienture, should any escape thy vengeance,
collect them together again, 0 Lord I as in the.hol
low of, hy hand, and let Thy lightnings play upon
them I We beSeech Thee, moreover, that thou do
gird up the loins of these IV servants, who are go
ing forth to fight, battle& Make them strong
men, that one:: shall _chase a thousand;; and 'two
titian put ten thousand to flight.' Hold before them
the Shield with which Thpu west wont in'the old
time to protect Thy chosen peopl& Give them
swift feet that they may pursue their enemiei; and
swords terrible as that of Thy destioying"angel, that
they may cleave them down when they have over
taken them. Preserve these servants of:Thine, Al
mighty God I and , bring , them once more to their,
honies and friendi, if Thou canst do it consistently
with Thine high purpose& If en the other hand,
Thou bast decreed that they shall die in battle, let
Thy Spirit be present with them, and breathe,:opon
them, that they may go up as a sweet saerifice into
the Courts of Thy Temple, whets are habitaiions
prepared for them from the ftifuldations

Thealintinis.---Vnesday of last week was a most
exciting day to the voters of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, and. lowa. In our own. State the popular
majority is believed to be for the Union ticket , In
this'city Mayor Henry was triumphantlY reelected.
What are called the,"old county offices" or the
Row offices," 'wor tdso-tled - by Union 'candi
dates. A remarkable fact has been noticed that in
localities from which few volunteers have gone into
the army the opposition vote was strong: and vice
Versa. A majority is also claimed in.the City Coun
cils for . the same partY, though the result was ren.:
dered doubtful by a rutnoredfraud in the 24th ward
where the vote was close. .
This fraud has since been exPosed, and the Conn.:
oils have a m,9jority DC:Union men.
Congressional, delegation from' the State has
undergone little change politically.: 'Hon. 'Colonel
Charles J. Biddle of this city who left his regiment
in the field to' come and fight - for Jeff'Davis 'in
Washington, was elected 'to stay at horae next
. .
The Democrats claim a majority of , one on joint
ballot in the Pennsylvania legislature. This ;will
give them the election of the U. S. Senator in place
of the so-called &publican: Cowan.
In Ohid, the notorious Vallandigham was also de
feated hy the= Union 'general Schenck. - The pop
ular vote of the State however was given against
theladministration. Indiana elected 7 true men out
of 11 to represent her in CongresS. lowa•has-prob=
ably sent a fall Union delegation. '
The Drag -Peuneylvania 'came off on the
16th.` It passed off' quietly in every county in` the
State, except Philadelphia,
.and `produced no undue
excitement. Camps of Rendezvous will .be estab
lished at Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg.

Boston, Oct., 47.--The Common Council having
voted to raise the bounty to volunteers to $2OO,
drafting in Boston has ceased. It is - believed, that
this bounty will shortly cause the quota of Boston
to be filled.
The'Army of-the Potomad has `displayed some
activity recently. A spirited dash of Cavalry was
made on the 11th upon a rebal Position near Cam
pon creek 17 miles westward from Winchester, re
sulting in the capture of a major, lieutenant, twenty
five privates, and the following articles :: Forty-nine
horses and mules, 1,000 blankets,-two wagons loaded
with clothing ; three wagons loaded' with ammuni
tion, fifteen wagons, one hundred new muskets, two
fine brass rifled A-pounder cannon, u mounted, a large
amount, of ammunitiOn with - 'cannon, and all of Col.

burning.nli their camp equipage.
On Thursday last, the 15th, Gen. Hancock's di
vision advanced from riarper's Ferry and took go:
,session of - Charlestown'on the toad to Winchester,
after an artillery fight of 2 hours. One hundred
wounded rebels from Antietam fell into, our hands.
Here is avnzot of- Gen. Mcollelan's on the rebels,
for Which Rev. Dr. Bellows is, given as' authority
and which is worth saying ; : Well is General
McClellan reported to have laid (privately),
as he watched their obstinate fighting at Anti-
etam, and saw them retiring in perfect order in
the miditc)if the most frightful carnage-:i - ` What
terrific neighbors these would be !We must conquer

division which entered Charlestown' has returned; to
Harper's Ferry.
The work' of reorganization in Gen. McClellan's
artny continues, and is now nearly completed, at least
for the present. Every regiment has been visited, ;
and:after having undergone a most thorough,in
spection, his been ordered to prepare for 4 long
march- at' any moment.

by Gen. Buell, while being transmitted for . file to

Geneial of the . robel army at Chattanooga, ,Tennes-
These papers inclode confidential letters from
Gen. Beanregard4o Gen. Bragg, specifically laYing

A New Work on. Practical Religion.,
2ESTECETIC, PIETY.
BY REV WM BACON.
The 'character of the. wori can hest he seen from
the following
•
REOpIMENDATIONS
From Rev. ALBERI' Bju4lis, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church Philadelphia.
"I have read with as much care and attention as
I.could bestow on it, work'by the Rev. William. Ba
. con, entitled "Astlmtic Piety or the beauty andlove
liness of the Christian Religion." The design of this
work, as stated, by the author (pp. 23, 24,) is to show
L That the Christian Religion is essentially beau
tiful lovely.
2. That Christians should Strive as much as possi
ble to attain and to eihibit all the excellences of this
religion. •
3. 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 them in order to secure all the happiness to which
they will lead."
No one-can doubt the importance of the subject
`thus discussed. And in my judgment the author has
discussed them in slicks way sato be eminently uses
ful to all those who will read his work. The piety of
the church , would be of a higher order, and the hap•
pine.ss of:Christians would be much greater, if they
-would follow the counsels addresSed to them in this
book,; and it would be for the eternal welfare of those
who are not now:Christians, if they would, as the author
suggestS, So' examine Christianity; so lay aside all pre
judice; so yield themselves to the conviction of truth,
asle embrace- the Christian system and practice it in
their lives. '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 convince all 'persons
that the Christian religion is "worthy of all accepta
tion," and is the richest et which God has confer
red on marikind::---I have known the Rev. Mr. Baien
for many "years,.. and in such circumstances as to
pow what manner of spirit he is.of,' and I have the
utmost confidenee in his piety; his seal, and his de
sire to do . geed to the world, and commend this workt
..-,the fruit of the.refiections of many years, and the
result of desire to do good when he is Unable pub
licly to preach the Gospel, to all with whom my
name may serve as. - a sufficient commendation of the
work to , induce-them to examine it for themselves."
ALBERT BA ES.
Frorn Rev. MARK. Rorirms, D. D. L. L. D., Pre
sident of William's College, and of the A. B. C. F.
" Your.work on " 2Esthetic Piety" I have no im
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 ,-I.ly
which,they, are sustained.' Kum HOPKINS:
From the Professors of the Auburn Theologiial
Seminary. , •
" I,have read your work on .2Esthetic,Piety with
entire approbation and unmingled graftfication, It
is full of sound common sense, suggestive thought and
scriptural itinth.. It - cannot fail to profit those who
attentively read it. lam glad that while you axe
disabled fivni all labor abroad, you arefable to divert
your own Mind, alleviate the pains of your long con
finementi.and render yourself widely and permanent
ly .nseful by producing such works." •
