Riddle, D.1). 0 - has been unani- measly elected to the Presidency of Jefferson Col lege, Pennsylvania, made vacant by the recent resig nation of Dr. Alden. While we should much regret to luso Dr. Riddle from the vicinity of New York, - we do not know of a better man for the place—one - who will be more popular with the students, or more acceptable to the public—N. Y. Evangelist. . Father Chiniquy Again.—At the late meeting eof the Presbytery of Chicago, the Rev. Alexander F. Kemp, from the Canadian Presbyterian Church, • was present as a corresponding member, and laid a memorial upon - the table, in reference to the Rev. C. Chiniquy, desiring that something be done, either to relieve and restore his standing in this Presby tery, or, if he still desired it, enable them to'receive him and his people under their care. This, at least, was the end contemplated by the memorialists, if mot specifically stated. A motion was made to raise committee to report upon the matter at the next stated meeting; but it was, after discussion, laid on 'the table, and, though afterwards taken up, action upon it was refused. The memorial itself was re .'spectfully answered, but any initiative process for the restoration or relief of Mr.-Chiniquy declined. Ministers in the South.—We learn from the South, that the Rev. Dr. Palmer is now residing in Columbia, South Carolina, where he is engaged temporarily in filling the Professorship in the The ological Seminary, made vacant by the death of the RCN'. Dr. Thornwell. The Rev. Dr. Leyburn is re siding at Athens, Georgia, and is there discharging his duties as Secretary of the,Counnittee of Domes tic Missions. The Rev. James McNeill, formerly Secretary of the American Bible Society, has left his post as editor of the Nora Caeolina Pre:thyte rian, for a time, and entered the army. The Rev. Dabney, Professor in the Union Theological Seminary, is also in the Southern army, and is ac ting as an aid to General " Stonewall " Jackson. have seen an order, issued by General Jackson, tea, "R. L. Dabney, Assistant Adjutant Gene "—Presbyterian. Congregational. Congregationalism in California.—At a re meeting of the General Association of Califor it was stated that there had been an increase ing the year of 331 per cent. in the number of -cies; and that the membership had grown 750 to 873. Among the important subjects that came before body for debate, was the wantsof the heathen in. ;fi) rn Ta. No other State in the Union is like ours Lis matter. There are probably more than 50,000, lac in this State, against whom is roused up the .er hatred of our Dish laboring population, in ich they have the strong sympathy of very many ought to exercise more reason and pliilanthro in the matter, and even of many of the members our churches, who ought to be ashamed of •the ''xistian spirit with which they treat these strap in trying to drive them from our country; by .:ring with their lawful labor, loading them unconstitutional taxes, and depriving them of -oteetion of the courts. ;ides these, various parts of the State are igeil with perhaps the lowest class of American is, upon whom the whites, aided by the ler , of the state and the General Government, made frequent "wars," (they might as well of wars" with rabbits,) while the churches done absolutely nothing for their salvation. • el ..... the good work begun. Certain pious Kama -11 , kiss who came over here from the Sandwich _lslands. in./849-50, have settled near them, intermarried . . -v,, , • them, and taught some of them the way of life.. 'oral most interesting conversions have taken ice among them ; and now these foreigners, them 'es converted heathen, have organized a mission society, with very limited means, to evangelize heathen in this Christian land. It tells well for n, but ill for us, that the first effort for the sal ion of our heathen, has been . made by these fo n converted heathen. The. Association took 'sures to inaugurate efforts for the salvation of ic., degraded creatures. Andover Theological Semiiiary.—lt is under that the Trustees of this institution have . temporary provision in the department of .Eo- Jiastieal History, by securing, for . a - Portion of the ;sent year, the services of Rev. Dr. Schaff, Pro 3sor in the Theological Seminary at Igercersburg, ma. Army. The Soldier True to His Prinoiples.—We are - 'y to know that. the Methodist Episcopal Church, most numerous in the country, will be found on :urination to take her part of the sacrifices for this a.. In the N.B. Conference the wale portion of le whole churches have enlisted and gone to the a.. Among those early enlisting from a sense of ay was a young brother recently from the Wilbra an Academy. Just before the battle of Antietam, which he was killed, he reproved his captain for swearing, and the captaiii put, him in the guard louse ; but the colonel on learning the facts ordered .is release, saying, "No soldier of his should be confined for reproving profanity," True to the last. }Vvalcyan Journal. Playing Cards Exchanged for Books.—The Young Men's Christian Association of Chica'go, has been doing a good work in distributing religious books and tracts among the soldiers of Camp Doug las. The following account of the manner in Which a bountiful supply was obtained from the. East is in cresting : Christian - ladies who visited the camps to clistri te papers and books, generally • succeeded, when found a group of men playing cards,,in effecting exchange of religious books for the cards.: 4nd $2 00 par annum. 2 50 " PREMIUMS. members of the Association have followed the same plan when visiting and holding meetings, with such large success, that ht the last Monthly Sociable a half bushel basketful of playing -cat ds, which looked as though they had been thoroughly used, were ex hibited as trophies. The supply of books which were to be exchanged for cards having been exhaust ed, a pack of these cards, accompanied by their his tory, was sent to New-York, another to Boston, and another to Philadelphia• The proceeds of this novel investment footed up to-day 2O( Army Prayer- Books, 373 bound volumes, 2275 Soldiers' Hymn- Books, and 3600 religious papers. The Association will find abundant use for these, and , far more, as the supply in the Western armies is lamentably de ficient. And judging frip the destitution of the HarPer's Ferry paroled Union prisoners, the Eastern armies are not much more plentifully supplied. For when those men first came to camp Douglas, they seemed literally to be famished for religious reading,' and begged for a share in a necessarily sparse distri, butitm, as piteously as they could have done for food had they been starving. Editor. ti tOtiiCJUVL The Freeing of the slaves is the District of Columbia 'has made Z little or no change in their domestie condition. Moat of them still remain with their former masters and mistresses, while not single one mu be blamed to leave the District. In other words, the freedmen generafiy work for their , old Masters and Mistresses, having bargained with them to do so for stipulated wages, which, are paid them ; and this is all that Fiinancipation amounts to. No One of them was killed or wanted to kill'any body ; they only Wanted pay for their work, and this they are now receiving. As to coming North, we have not,hearci that one of them has done so. Negro. Soldiers.—The first serious experiment with negroes as soldiers has been made lately in Missouri. Au account of a fight between uportion of Lane's colored brigade, of Kansas, and a much superior force of rebel guerillas, at the head of the Osage river, appears .the papers of Nov. 12th. The blacks were sent to drive away the rebels from an, island in the river. Fortifying themselves in a ,house on the main laud, they made a gallant fight against the guerillas, which lasted for two days. They maintained their position against numerous attempted assaults, until reinforcements came and the rebels fled to the island, where they were to be attacked the next day. The report, of the action says that the negroes fought very well, losing eight killed and a larger number wounded,while the loss they inflicted on, the rebels was much heavier. This, experiment having been usuccess, the question arises, why may it not be repeated? Many of the negroes are anxious to volunteer, and at a time when it,is difficult to fill up white regiments by volunteering, it seems absurd to refuse to receive bl,sekregiments. Certainly a white man's life is not less valuable than a negro's, and we do not see why a white man should be exposed to slaughter when a colored man is forbidden to so ,ex.- pose his life. Heretofore it, has been said the neg roes would not fight. But it is well known that all the Africautribes. from whom they are descended, are warlike ,; indeed , war is their chief occupation. The civilization they have acquired in this country has not totally changed their nature. Suffer them to organize, and give them good training and com petent officers, and the fighting instincts of their race, which slumber under the degradation they have been subjected to, will be developed once more. With American drilling and American arms, and with a cause to fight for involving the future cOndi den of a' great portion of their brethren, they will fight far better than their savage forefathers did in Africa, where war is the chief business of life—Bul letin. ' Gen. Neelellan's removal from the chief com mand of the army of the Potomac has caused but little excitement, except with jliurnals who seize every occasion to embarass the administration. They represented the excitement and Aissatisfaction in the army as intense, but no , serious troubles, re signations, or the like, have occurred, and Burnside, as a fighting general, is regarded with universal favor, Since the change in the commanding officer of this part of .our forces, there has been a period of inaction; , caused, in part, apparently by the ab sence of trustworthy information as to the enemy's position. Jackson appears to be in the valley, whicheas the scene of most of his exploits, he is loth to leave. Rumors are 'startled as 'to his prox imity even to Harpers Ferry, and his readiness to take a back road to Washington or even into Penn sylvania again. There is very startling news by the Richinond papers of an advance, of our forces from Western Virginia into the very heart of the State near'Statinton, under Gen. Cox. This is an exploit so bold, and enterprising,that, as Gen. Mitch ell is dead, , we are not prepared co, believe it of any officer in our army. If true, it- may seriously af• feet the rebel 'plans, and Gen. I3urnside may be waiting till 'ties its proper effect before advancing. Gen. ,1:1alleek hits been to the front of the, army in consgliation with Gen. Burnside. Up to,now, the head-quarters of our army were still at Warrenton, the advance being on the Rappahanock. The rebel head-quarters were at Culpepper Court House. Two officers of Gen. McClellan's staff have been arrested, it is supposed for expressing, themselves too freely as to his dismissal. • , - Brig. Gen. Kelley retains his early-won reputa tion for boldness and enterprise. On the,Bth, hav ing marched ,60 miles in 24 houra, thejnfantry be ing placed in wagons, he-routed Col. imboden's rebel camp in liardir county. Many rebels were killed and - wounded, 50 captured with arms, horses and cattle. Our loss 4 0r , 5. vonnded. The Next Congress.--FoineY's Press says that the 38th Congress to convene December. 1863, will consist of Senators ; Republicans 30, Union and War Democrats;l2; Democrats 6. House Repub licans 96, Union men 19, Democrat.s,7B,of whom :8 are wat Democrats: In this: Calculation, 'hoWever, are included estimates for New Hampshire,.Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, North' Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, California, Lqui siana, Texas, Vermont,,which may upset,the con clusions. The National Loan.--The subscriptions to, the 5-2 a loan continue to increase with . remarkable rapidity. it is now the only loan on the market that can be obtained at -par. The interest, which is at the rate of six per cent, commences from the date. of subscription, and is payable ,in gold at. the mint, orany sub-treasury or depository of-the 'United States, on the first days of May and November of each year.' At the present premium of gold, these bonds yieldubout eight per cent. per annum. The First B.esignation in consequence of the Eniancipation. Proclamation has taken place. On account of the publication of this document, Lieu tenant Johnson of the 17th Kentucky tendered his resignation to Major-General McCook, when Gen eral McCook ordered him arrested and sent to the military prison in 'irons. After ten or fifteen days' confinement; no charge having been preferred, Gen. Boyle relieved him, ordering him to join his regi ment witnout delay. • Johnson again tendered his resignation on the same grounds,' when he was placed under arrest, dismissed from the service in disgrace, and his insignia bf office stripped from him in the presence, of the whole regiment. Gen. Rosecran's orders on the subject were read' at the head of the regiment. The Anderson Cayalry, have arrived in safety at Louisville, Ky., where they will form the body guard of Gen. Rosecrans. „ The regiment left Carlisle barracks on Friday the Affittiran Vrtobtteri 7th, reaching Pittsburg on Saturday, from which place they were conveyed, without change ofcare, to Indianapolis, via the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago, and the Bellefontaine Railroad lines, and from thence to Louisville. The regiment met with a perfect 'ovation along the whole route The residents of the canary through which they passed turned'''. dixt in full Strength on their approach ; and supplied thent with every luxury.' Their "reception. `at lndianapolis was most enthusiastic. They were conveyed to'the vol unteer refreshment saloon in that city, and provided with a repast. The regiment numbers about nine hundred men. The Inea,pables hi command of our armies, to whom we owe our heart-wearing delays and shame ful disasters, are at last beginning to,be worked, and , sifted gut. • Perhaps no ; . disaster in the whole' war has been needlessorMre selions, in its bearing upon the final result, than thcsurrender of Harper's Ferry. With an army of relief Within six (Gen. Franklin at Crampton's Gap,) and with the opportunitY of dividing the, rebel army, so that Mc- Clellan would have had but half instead of the whole to deal ,'with at Antietam, this post was sur rendered, to ,the enemy,after the merest .face of a resistance, in which but a trifling loss was sustained: A Commission of Inquiry has recently concluded its sittings and made a report upon this sad affair, ,from' ythick :we gather the , following facts. Col. Miles—the same who commanded the reserves at the first Battle .of,„Bull Run, which were never brought into action—waS in command. Col. Ford. Was on Maryland Heights, which . ceminand the place. Gen. White also brought in his forces from Winchestei, but acted" in a subordinate position to Col. Miles. The Commission find, that Col. Miles failed to entrench and properly, fortify •Maryland , Heights ; that lie omitted to respond to Col. Ford's request for trenching-tools, or for reinforcements;' that;ol. Ford failed to make a proper "defence of the Heights against the enemy, but left' them on the - 13th of September, under the loose permission of Col. Miles to act at discretion in the premises ; that the" dayafter they, were abandoned, 'l'one - corn: panies returned to them, found no enemy, and brought away four of our deserted guns and a quan tity of ammunition, showing that no pressing neces-' .sity for the evacuation existed. On the morning of the 14th, a messenger from Col. Miles made his way to Gen. McClellan at Frederick City. He was sent: with a message to Gen. Fiunklin, whoNvas driving the enemy from Crampton's Gap --'his part of the battle of South Mountain. - The next daY, Monday the 15th, Franklin being on the advance and but seven Miles from the Ferry, at - 9 A.. M. Col. Miles surrendered. They also find, that during the siege, and shortly previous, Col. M. paroled several rebel prisoners and sent them to the rebel head -quarters,' who of .course were able'to make fell reports of his position. Among others was a paroled Lieutenant, who came back; in command. of some rebel cavalry, . on the morning of the surrender. The attention of Gen. A. P., hill was called to the fact that Lieuten ant Rouse was a paroled prisoner,' but no attention was paid to it. Lieutenant Rouse himself,.-on being spoken to about it, laughed at the idea of Observing his parole. On Saturday, the day of the attack upon and evacuation of. Maryland Heighti - , Colonel Miles directed that sixteen Confederate prisoners be Permitted to. pass through our lines to • rejoin 'the rebel army at Winchester. As to Col. Ford, after making ample allowance for Col. Miles' neglect of his requisitions, they conclude that he' " Conducted the defence without ability, and.lbandoned his posi tion without sufficient cause, and has shownthrough out such a laek - of military capacity as to disqualify him, in the opinion of the Cemmission, for a com mand in the service," Speaking as tenderly as they can of an officer " who cannot appear before any earthly tribune," (Cob Miles,-who--died-243,f=wounds received alter the surrender,) the Commission nev ertheless decide, " that Colonel Miles' incapacity; amounting to almost imbecility, led to the shameful surrender of this important poSt." The mildest term they can use of his condiiet previbtii'tO the attack, is "criminal neglect." They are astonished at the indifference' he exhibited inregardto _holding Maryland Heights, the key of the position. These multiplied evidences of what the Coinrnis sion term " incapacity" on the 'part of a ,subisirdi nate,' lead them to look to his superior. They say that the officer who placed this incapable in com mand should share in the responsibility; _and in the opinion of the Commission, Major General Wool is guilty to -this extent cf a grave disaster, and should be censured for his'conduct. And going still further back, they give the'following opinion, by Gen. Hal leek. The General-in-Chief has testified that den. McClellan, after having received orders to repel the enemy invading, the .State of Maryland, marched only, sixmiles: per day, on an aver gh, whew pursu ing this invading enemy. The General-in-Chief also testifies, that in, his opinion General - McClellan could and should ~have relieved andpro ec e t t dlf • ar 7 per's Ferry; and in this opinion the Commission fully concur.' • They Conclude their report as follows : " The evi dence thus introduced confirms the Commission in the opinion that Harper's Ferry, IS well as Mary land Heights, was prematurely surrendered.' The garrison should have been satisfied that relief, how ever long delayed, would come _at last, and that a thousand men killed in Harper's Ferry would have made a small lima had the ,pOst been saved, and probably saved two %thousand at Antietam. How important was this defence we can now ap'preciate. Of the 97,000 men composing at that time the Whole of Lee',e, army, more than one third were attacking *Harper's Ferry. - And of this, the main body was 'in Virginia. By reference to the, evideriec, it will be seen that at the very moment Col. Ford. aban doned Maryland Heights his little army wasiimre ality relieved by Generals Franklin and Sumner's corps at Grampton's Gap, within seven giles of his position ; and that after the surrender of 'Harper% Ferry'no time was given to parole prisOners 'before 20,000 troops were hurried from Virginia, and the entire force! went off on the double.quick.to relieve tee, who was being attacked at Antietam. Had the garrison been slower to surrender, or the . army of the Potomac swifter to march,, the enemy would have been forced to raise the siege, or would have been taken in detail, with the Potomac dividing his forces." • This report has had the effect of procuring the disgraceful discharge of Col. Ford and of the Major of a .Tew York regiment; Gen. Wool is also relieved of his position at Baltimore, - although he claims that Miles was ut Harper's Ferry when he was as signed to Baltimore, and Gen. Schenck, a thorough going, loyal man, has been appointed, in his place. Something was perhaps contribtite& bY'the report to the downfall of McClellan also. the removal of Buell from chief command in the West is also a profound relief' to all men ;:.f action and thorough-going loyaltY. Re is the commander who at the very outstart declared 7 -according to common report--that he did not know what the waiWas about; and, while like McClellan, he has organized a splendid army, it is one which, has ac complished,, nothing, against the rebellions Under Buell, it has• lost almost everything gained by.llal;. 'leek in the West, and has allowed Bragg to get in and out of Kentucky almost at his leisure, suffering probably- far less loss than he inflicted on:us. It gives,new heart to the true •friend of the country tb see the Administration after so long a' time, show ing a disposition to be rid of men who have been an nenbus or worse to our cause.
