PresbyterJAlL • ' General Assembly of the Southern (0, S.), Preil*terien Church.—Th`e General 'Asiembly of the Old School Presbyterians took place in May, at Montntneiy, Alabaina l but its ,proccedings have only recently become known ielthiNorth.' As,ivits to be expected, the Church is in a desolate condi tion. Not more than thirty-one ministers and sixteen ruling elders were present at the General 'Assembly. There was only one minister present from the Synod or Texas,. que minister and one ruling elder from Synod of Memphis, and no delegate at all from the Synod of Arkansas. The receipts of the Church Committees were mull—the Committee of Foreign Missions having received- $14.948, and that' ofpo misae Missions,. $0984„ The georetaries of both Committees, Dr. Wilson and ]fir Leyburn, are men who even for some •time after the 'outbreak of the rebellion held influential posts in the Northern. States—Dr. Wiliam in N.Y. city, and Dr. Leyburn in 'Philadelphia, The Committee at Publication bad made arrangements with tie ; üblishing House , of the Southern Methodist Church at Nashville.for the publication of a Sabbath-school paper, but the: plan was frustrated by the polical misfortune be falling the city;" They .then intended to issr it from Biehmend lamenting, however, that only 2274 copies had been subscribed for. The commie.' . tee on the State of I4ligion. stated that not a few congregations had been entirely disbanded. The next General Assembly is to meet in Columhia, S.

Of one gang of twelve five were shot, and seven taken prisoners. The pri soners confessed that these twelve were present and took a part in the hanging of Rev. Mr. Bewley, at Fort Worth, l'exas. Thus five of these murderers of an innocent Methodist preacher have suffered a just re tribution at the hat& of another, and he, in a mea sure, holds in his hand the fate of seven others. Layßeinisentation.—The ntlebtcfgh Advocate foots up the vote on lay representation in thirty eight conferences as.follows :Ministers, 1078 for:and 2423 against; members, 21,539 for and 34,553 against. , , leseellaneons. President's Orders for the Observance , of the Sabbath.—The President has issued the fol lowing order in relation to ' the observance of Sab bath in the army and navy : " Exanurrvr. XANSlON.—Washington, Novem ber 16th, 1862. The President, Commander-in- Chief of the army and navy, desires and enjoins the orderly observance of the Sabbath by the officers and men in the military and naval service. The im portance for man and , beast of the prescribed week ly rest, the sacred rights of CfiiistiFl fAdieps and sailors, a becoming cleferencelo the best sentiments of a Christian people, and a due regard for the Di vine will, demand that Sabbath labor in the army and navy be reduced te,the meitenre of strict neces sity. The discipline and character of the National forces should 5i00..-staffer t unr...tilutt twin ge . th e y._ d e f. be imperilled, by' the profanation of the day or name of the Most High. At this time of public distress, adopting the words of Washington in 1776, Men may find enough to do ,in.the service of God and their country, without abandoning themselves to vice and immorality.' The firo, general order is sued by the Father of his Country,,. af ter, the Deola r . ration of Independence, indicates the 'spirit in which our institutions were founded, and slionld ever be defended : The General hopes and trustelhat eve- ry officer and man will endeavor to live and act as bedomes a Christian soldier, defending the, dearest rightsund privileges of his country.' The Evangelist says detracts nothing'from the value of the. Sabbath Order that suitable agen cies have been employed in bringing the subject to the attention of the Executive. Our Sabbath-Com mittee havi3 taken various preliminary step's, and a deputation of its members visited Washington last week to promote this important interest. An inter view mistad with the Presichmt on the lath inst., the Secretaries of War and NtiVy, AduriralFoote, Geyer nar gorgan, the .Flon. Peter Parker, and the Rev. Dr. Gurley being present. Governor,MFgan introduced the &limitation, consisting ofithe Chairiein and Secretary of the Sabbath Committee, and Messrs. David Headley; Wm: A. Booth, Fred. S. Winston, F. G. Foster, and Gustav Schwab.:Norman. White, tsq. 'addressed the President in a few well-chosen words, and requested Mr. Secretary Cook to reed the Address of the deputation. The President res ponded in a frank, dignified address. Admiral Foote, in'answer to the inquiry;of the President, stated his convictions that the sailors would hail with joy an order protecting their Sabbaths and that the influence of the sacred Oa/":on discipline was most needful and happy. The whole interview has been described to us by a gentleman who was ' ' -A N D-- Editor. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. present as exceedingly impressive ;,honorable to all the parties to it, 'and worthy of tbo sacred cause it was designed to prmote. ",The Three Brethren."—The Church .}ournal, as we foresaw, ,rmives the disloya,l N exile,s front the Episcopal Church of New Orleans most considerate ly. It says, among many other similar things "We are glad . to 84 that the three brethren have been received With kindne'ss' and attention in this City, and-that they have been .'ranch gratified at finding Northern' feeling generally so different what they. had been. led to expect." *lssionary The Basel Missionary Institute is • perhaps the mo s t complete . ,in Christendom, unless it is ex celled by home of 'the Romish Propagandist associ ations. 'lt includes a`.tuaning Institute, School for the children of Missionaries, andonissiona7 labors proper in Africa, India, China and America, inclu ding the United States in which it has 66 laborers occupied in evangelizing Oe numerous German col en.ists. It has been in existence 47 years. Its re mugs during the last administrative term reached the figure of 675,667 francs, and its expenses that of 712,435 francs: the' missionary houSe now 'counts 85 Pipits, of Whom 7 'are Azmenians ; end' 64 new candidates have been announced during the'course of the last few •weeks.--Brazil has afforded a new field for theactivity of the Society. The Pressing Solicitations of the Swiss Consul and the benevolent offers- of, the Brazilian Government Anse induced it ; to send a number ,of pastors, evangelists, and-mis sTatifies, 'to evangelize thsnumerous Gerniati mire= mats of that empire. Since` its foundation 400 mis 4 sionaries have been formed in its Institute, and have been sent out tO: carry the:Gospel unto all et:matt-les, '' " a Dams Nissiottery Society held its antu vOrparY itinly;3o. th. Drd Kalkar imbmitted a report on the regent progress and present state of themis sion in Greenland, Among other interesting cir cumstancei; he Mentioned, that the translation of the Bible into the language of Greenland has been recently revised by suitable persons, and : thet,the revision is now ready. It appears also theta depu tation of visiters is about , to be sent to that remote country, to inquire into the state of the ministry. It is 'toll' known that the GovernMent has, een:ace • custornetl -to ,send there the most worthless and scandalous clergy, to earn, by a period of banish ment, a title to a benefice in . their own country.! That the , mission work should have advanced in the face , of such- counteractive influences deliberately exerted by the Church at home and its'rulers, - is wonderful.. . The R4V.. M. Mau' stated that' the Noniegian Missionary Society is tying to purchase a property for , the,;mission school in Stavanger,' and that. a 'mis sion ship for sailing between Norway and the mis sion station airiobiahcfZitltis Afriaa'?was nearly ready. . Value of Medical Miesiimaries.-It wail, be ; remembered' by our readers that Lockhardt, the ; medical. missionary of an English Society, has been able to establish himself, ‘` in advance of all °there,. at Pekin. iThe great value of the services of mellt. coadjutors in the missionary work is fully shown in. a letter from Dr.lVelefitine of the United Presbyte, rian won. Rajpootana, in India. We give some extracts front the letter, as itt appears in the News of the Churches. _ The great proportion of the diseases I, first saw were those of affections of the eyes, and skin dis eases ; indeed, to smelt an extent *were these preva lent, that the exception'was to find a person in the village who was not, of hid not, at some, period of Iris ; suffered from one or both'of these diseases. Small-pox has also left fearful traces of •its visita-. tions upon their persons and'eyes. After havid prescribed for them, and given their Medicine, I, according to a very excellent advice Professor Mil ler was in the habit of 'giving Ins in.the Ediriburkh Medical Missionary Dispensary, which was, " When the - evil one whiah . the 'the power of remedYing, yen•shoUld sit Town and give him, a 'clinical leetartt. upon" the subiect." I ii plained to them, that the , most the diseases I had that morning Seen arose from - theififant of cleanli ness, and strongly . recornmended the use of cold, wateii I also explained to them the nature and value' of vaccination, and told them of the good it had done in our own country ;`I 'promised that'the next time I,eame to the village,'l would vaccinate as many as came to me for that purpose. We were asked to go and see several poor persons who were itnable to come to us. Our tooth-extracting j medicine -giving, and pa tient-visiting causing; quite an excitement in the village. 'When we niounted r eurborses to leave, we were. salaamed out of the village by almost every: person, old and young, who were able to put their hands to their head, and say salam sahib: We via, ited this same village in the course, of tea or twelve days afterwards, ;when the greatest improvement imaginable was observedin the personal appear ance of the children and people ; indeed, 'with all our faftli 'in the power „of cold Water, we could scarcely have believed•that .it could have• produced such a wonderful change in so short a time. While' I had a greater number of patients than formerlY, was glad _to find that my lecture on vaccination had not been lost upon them,_ for between twenty to thirty , persona, ranging 'fromthres to twenty years of age, presenied themselves for vaccination. another village he speaks of the people crowd= ing armind him and bringing their sicdr, almoit in the manner deseribed by 'the Evangelists of the-crowd presoing upon the Saviour for!

In a late, Charge by the Bishop of Winehester, he states that'the number of candidates for''Orders which in 1841 was 606, in 1841 was 614, was in 1861 only 510. The pOpillation of has doubled in '3O yeam, while the clergy have increas ed by only one-fifth. He stated at the same tine that the proportion of Vniiersity gradiatea mixing those - Who are ordained is steadily diminishing, esF pecially with Oxford men ; and that the proportion of literates (not UniversitY .men) as steadily on the increase. These =are 'euUdisoresults viewed in connection with the great Church movement of the past thirty years. - -Ch: iJournai. 12 Imo rIY ieS Je "° .•sr. The Change' of base"to Fiederieksbuig is causing considerable speculation. The most com mon opinion is,that it will prove of great' import ance in the intended operations against Richmond. In going to that point, General Burnside:takes the shortest and most direct road • to the long-desired rebel capital. He has the advantage of an excellent supply depot with which he' May have ready com munication by means of , the Fredericksburg and Richmend railroad. Other, ahvantages are men tioned,' but these are, the most obvious. The Press says ".the army is now at least sixty miles nearer its destination, 'its line - of communication is secured beyond the possibility of interference iroin derieral Jackson, it cannot possibly be, delayed for want of supplies, and it is no longer ''erippled in its move ments by the necessity of defending Washington." Watever be•thel'eal or supposed advantages of the movement, we trust that it is the first of a series of vigorous, prempt and effective 1:110yemel* against Richmond. It is said'however, that the, Rappa':. hanoek will have to be bridged before the, army can move South:' An artillery skirmish took place at Falmouth near Icedericksburg between the advancing 0 - inmni`oe General Sumner and some rebel forces.. It seems that a portion of :the : rebel, troops having crossell . the'Rappalianock recoimditre were fired on by' a body of, their friends who were stationed on the ` road towards•Falmouti. This revealed thefact that the rebels had,one oemore batteriei planted on the opposite shore, for the purnode Of sweeping the road is - our army adVanceck 'Generals Sumner and Couch soon came to irponclusion that these batter ies must be at once silenced, so that we might have freeaceess along the river .road. "Colonel Zook's,Brigade and three batteries of ar tillerY were detailed te accomplish this. ' ' ' Instead of taking the main: mad, as the enemy' thought the'the Federais would, that tbei'might' have a chance to pepper them, the commanding of finer ordered them to make a detour around some higli-woodedhille into a valley, where a branch runs into the river;`across thisy and up on a very high and commanding elevation, directly in the rear of Falmouth. 'Captain Pettit's battery was at once plaeed-in position on the brow of this high hill, witlC l 4ook's Brigade directly in the rear, completely secured by the natural posktion of the hill: At about half-pa* three, the first gun'was sighted and bionght to bear upon the enemy, which at cute brought on a re:- joinder. The first shot' fronv the rebels burst di rectly over our battery. The firing from our battery became very rapid and precise, which had the effect of driving the rebels from their guns, thus comPlete ly silencing theta. Once in a while one more bold than the rest would attempt to drag a gun away, when a shot from our guns would drive him away.' What firing the enemy did do was first-class—every shot being a line shot—yet too high to do the slight-. est damage, as not a man was injured on our part. Owen's battery,, also opened and fired a few wounds. Just after the rebel guns were silenced, two trains of cars were observed leavmg Fredericksburg; our batteries opened on , them, hurrying them ' away under a full head .of steam. By later intelligence it appears"that' the Army of the Potpmac has not`iret; entered into possession of its new base—Fredericksburg, but remains at Fill- Mouth on the opposite bank of the river. thi No vember 21st,'General .Sumner demanded the sur render of 'the town, threatened to shell it if this were reftised, and gave sixteen hours for the relie ve' of non-combatants.- 'The; Mayor returned an evasive 'reply ;feting that he.was controlled by those who 'command of the confederate forces near the city, and that the time given:for the remoVat the sick,and wounded, the women and children was insnmcient. 'Since then nothing special has been done on our part to ..enforce the demand, ,tj?..ough the mebels have been.busy in removing stotes , and in making preparations . ' to resist the crossing of the Rappahannock. The latest to No- Member 23rd., is <_that elaVen .hours more had been granted. General Longstreet with twenty thousand men'is said to be at a convenient distance fionfthe town. What has caused the delay in itie bornbiu:d, merit is difficult to discover, except it be that-Gen eral Sumner would- thus conceal-other movements and *designi. - • Delinquent officers and priiratesfof theAnky who' are absent without good'cause from t their' posts s are henceforth to fiefireatedwith the'greatest sever ity. It is said that at least one thousand aommis sioned officers ate now absent without leave and that the President, on being shown recently, by the Secretary of Warand General-in,Chief, the immense list of deserters and Toll • calls of absentees; solemn- IY pledged himself hereafter to pursue the Most rigorous policy with thesc ofenclers, and that by executions, dismissals, ball and, chain, labor fo,the whole term 'of their enlistments,vand other of the several penalties, he is resolved to deprive, the reb. 2 els of the great advantage they haie heretofore,en joyed; over us .in the mesas necessaryto preserve. discipline and prevent the crimee of straggling, ab senteeism and desertion, In view of these facts, the hope is expressed that the public will'constitute itself ' ‘ 'a , great moral-police' to'expose and shaine back to duty all officers and• men who cannot prove incontestibly that they have the authority required by army orders and regulations; for their absence commands their coandi : _ _ , The 7-30 Bonds.- 7 The bids Ter ',the loan of thirteen =Mons recently' asked by Secretary Chase were quite numerous from all the 'elief cities of the country, and covered nearly.

In the erec tion of the 'church - edifice she took a' deep intereat; and was very tidbit in- collecting funds Tor the same.. The last,titne she attended church was en.the.occasion, of.the dedication. When her pastor (Rev., G. E.

Dunkirk, Nov. 16, 1862 • n 26 tf We-have been ishowly a dOcumentr signed by the Mayors in office of the,cities : ofthe United States and, Canada, certifying to,the superior'expellence of Dr. Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, and 'to the value'of.alt his remedies as articles of great'pub lie utility. Such evidence- from such high 'sources bears,us c ut triurp.phantly in Lite position we have long inaintaqied With iregard to Dr. Ayer's prepare: tionS t r orritiore particularly our advertisements of them." _NO publishers, need, be more opposed than we are, to the promulgation of quackery anyshape, but We knew when we _began that his remedies were above} any Suspicion. 'of -deception.-L-thatr they were about the best itris pdssible tO:producefor.the cure of disease, and that theyhave the confidence of all com. munities where they are knoWn. Not; alone becanse the Mayors of thew_ hOle - Ceinitry believe them'usefut to their people, but because we know from experience , that the are so to ours,,do we believe we are, render ing a substantial service toour readers :in making their Virtues kit Own to ParionioN, Karr t • , ; haportamt.raso,,,=Ponstant :writing for six Months 4one cheaper with our Gold Pe!is than, with ace' ;` 'therefore, it is economy to use Gold Pens. • The Gold Pen remains unchanged by years of eon.- tinned use, whilethe Steel Pen is ever changing by eorresion and wear; therefore; wy,fect uniformity of writing is obtained only by the use of the Gold Pen. The proid Pea.is always ready'and'rehable, while tirWSteal Pen -mastbe often 'Condemned and a new One selected`; therefore, in the use of -the' Gold - Pert there is great saving of time. Gold is capable Of 'receiving any degree of elasti city, so that, the, old Pen is exactlyadapte.d to the hand of dee'writer ; thereore, the rierves of the hand and arm are not injured, as is known to be the case by the use of Steel Pens., See " The Pen is mightier, than the Sword," in another. column t Irma) 6ra '.......4:tvi'.i.ti*: . !* . i:i.i:...'..:::::-. •w. .014.71 X.
