Nevin, Editor Presbyterian. Standard, 108 South Fourth Street ,Philadel phia,:Pa. —I desire this 27th of November to express my gratitOde to God for his great goodness to me and mine during the past year. ` I Send through you one thousand dollars (inclOsed herewith) to be eqally divided between the Home and Foreign Missions of the, 0. S. P. C. I desig nate these, as I think in consequence of the rise 'of exchange increasing the cost of Foreign Missions, and the rise in cost of living increasing the expense of 'Home Missions, the contributions of Christians should be increased instead of diminished. I make this contribution, or rather,distribution, through yik, hoping it may induce some one who has been cared for, and prospered, as. I have beeh during the past year, to inquire whether he is do ing his duty` to His cause from whom comes all we have. I say distribution, for I have decided it to be my clear duty to set aside for the advancement of His cause a portion or that which I receive gra tuitously from Him. Whilst I desire to ,have some to join me in this I remember the opening of the sixth chapter of Matthew, and subscribe myself A POOR SINNER. The liberal "distribution " of our 'Unknown cor respondent, the post,mark of whose letter indicates him to be a resident of the Empire State, has been appropriated according to his desire.—Ed.

The 'aggregaie contributions,of this congre gation last year were''thirty per cent. greater thin the year hereto. foilard titnes:.--Stan- The Synod ef Baltimore.—The Synod'onial timore met, by direction of the General Assembly, in the Presbyterian Church of Harrisburg, Pa., on the 21st day of October. The number of members present was unusually small. One entire Presbyte ry—the Presbytery of Winchester—was unrepre eented, and from three other Presbyteries, consist ing of 68 ministers and 62 churches, only 12 min isters and 4 ruling elders were in attendance, The Committee on the Minutes Af tire General Assembly reported among others ,the following re solutions, which were adopted : " Rooked, That the Synod. do heartily and cor dially aPprove the paper on the Btate of the coun try, presented to the General Assembly by the Rev. Dr. R. Breckinridge, with the action thereon, in its general tenor and purport, as timely, needful, i and wise,nd still applicable to the present state of the country and. the Church. " Resolved,. That the Synod does not hesitate tb express, its conviction, that it is the solemn duty of Christian people living under this Government, en joyi ng, its protection, and owing its allegiattee, <to sustain it in its efforts for its own preservation, to be , firm, steadfast, and true in their loyalty to it, and to endeavor to attain, so long as , at all possible, a return of that 'unity and harmony which we once enjoyed; that it is their duty, in public and private, to pray for our rulers, and all in lawful authority over us, and to confess and bewail :our sins and shortcomings before God, asking his forgiveness, and beseeching him in his great mercy to grant us a speedy and permanent dalliers - no from existing . and impending evils. " -Resolved, That we will earnestly unite in the observance of a day 'of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer, in whatever way and whatever, time such a day may be set apart, and we hereby join in, the request to the President of the United States to appoint such a day." Receipt of the Boarde.—The receipts of the Boards of-the 0. S. Church, during the month of October, were as follows :—Board of Missicins, $4244.95 ; Board of Education, $421.01; Board Miti lona of Foreign s $10,177.38 ; Board of Publi cation—sales, s2,9lo.23—donations, $1,113.19 ; Board of Church Expansion,' 046,70. The Fund for Disabled Ministers has received, since the last report, 005,72. Dr. Plumes, has been appointed stated supply for the Arch Street Presbyterian Church for the win tsr The recent Murder of a Missionary in Turd key—Execution of the Murderer.--Command er Thatcher, of tip ship Constellation, in a•letter to the Navy Department, dated Spezzia, the 3d-inst., saga he hasjust received adviees from our consul at Beirout, Syria, that the Sultan's firman for the; ex ecution of Mr. Coifing the American missionary; reached Adana While the Constellation was still at anchor near that place, and the criminal was imme= diately beheaded/ in the presence of a vast concourse of people, and without• any popular outbreak, as had been anticipated. The consular representatives of the United States, France, Prussia, and Italy, witnessed the execution, which' is said to have been hastened on account of the presence of the. pre sence of the ship Constellation., The official announcement reached this port a, very Elbert time after she had sailed. The Turkish Government has behaved with great justice and comity towards the United, States in this matter. Revival through the Year.—Lewiston, Me., says the Watchman ? and Reflector, has-been the seat of a most graclans revival during the year, and as the result of the outpouring of the Spirit more thandive bundred persons have already joined the different Churches in the city, One of the minis ters at the meeting of the American Board, frOm Lewiston, stated to a friend that •twenty-two " lit tle children" in his own congregation had been suffered to come to Jesus and to 'unite themselves with his people. r . The Rev. E, 0, Haven, D.E., Methodist has been re-elected to the ponats of Mastutehosetta ti The New York Christie3l Thies withdraws its aceuration of disloyalty . ," made' (in what appears to have been insufficient evidence, against the church Book-Store. It says: The misunderstood clerk has for months contem plated a kind of secession indeed, but only from the Church, Book-store, with a view of joining the army cif United States Volunteers. Editor The Protestant martyrs of Spain.—The court of Granada' has pronounced its sentence in the mat ter of the Protestants who were so long detained in the prisons of that town : ; and that the decision hi volyed for some of them a, penalty remarkably se-, iere. 'Senor Jose Ala= Tevis was condemned to nine years of imprisonment, and Manuel Matamo ros to eight years, with costs, deprivation of civic rights' etc. The Trigos, husband , and, wife, -were acquitted and, discharged. The Spanish Paper.—The Co'rrespanclencia— says ,that these persons were not condemned as Protstants ; that no one is punished in Spain, for any-religious belief or opeting (1)—" but because tile" , were setting up, with a' loud voice and with pens ip their hands, a propagandism in favor of the Protestant religion, such as has been forbidden by the constitution of the state ; a constitution conform able in this respect with the most democratic insti tutions that have existed •in Spain since 1812." `. The Paris Semite, (liberal (Romanist) ex presses astonishment "that such a law should still be in existence in' the nineteenth century, and should be applied with so much rigor. Nine years of imprisonment, aTerpetual interdiction from 4ax- - eroising the functions of a teacher, and an exclusion from All civiurights,—all for having read in public or lent a;bibleto one's neighbor, this punishment, if we consider the progress that has been made du ring the last century, with comparatively softened manner's ilia cultivated intelligences of the present day, comes to much the same as those that used to be inflicted upon• Protestants amongst us in the reigns of Louis XIV. and Louis XV. " The Correspondencia assures us that no one •is persecuted in Spain for religious opinion& But What is the outcome of a religious belief'which can not be manifested without a transgression, and Which it is forbidden a man to transforin into wor ship? Spain loves to boast of the, material int prevernents which have been accomplished within her in recent times.; she is. fain to talk of her mill'. tary glories, of her industrial prosperity, of her ag ricultural resources; and she loses no opportunity of maintaining her claims to the rank of a great power. Bat that is insufficient. It is by the, gen erous principles on' which their institutions are based, that nations grow great or decline. All the railways, all the bridgesi all the canals in the world, will not 'raise Spain from the secondary position that she, now. occupies.. If she wants to take her seat by the side of the great powers, let Spain be gin by adopting those principles of_ religious tolera tion which make the strength and the superiority of France and England." , Sorely we are making ,some progress, when we find Roman Catholics pleading for toleration ; and the land of St. Birthelomew's Day rebuking the prosecuting Spirit that yet lingers in the eland of Torquemada. The News of the Churches says of the sentences " Such acts must. materially damage the &nue of those who perpetrate them, especially when it is known that' they . are loathed by the Prime Minister,- Marshall °Tonne] ; and that only, through back stairs influence, in , 11, most immoral and sttperstiti dons .court, have the clergy' been able to carry their point." • The Church of England is in a fair way to be thoroughly, demoralize& The N. Y. Methodist thus sums up the present state of affairs The expectation that the action of the two convo cations of Canterbury and York against the ration alistic tendencies of the Essays' and Itiews; and the subsequent, decision of the Court of Arches, would lead to a speedy, suppreasion.,of the entire school in the Church of• England, is not likely to be realized. There is even a rumor that the Privy Council will overrule allthe points in Mr Rushing- ton's decision except so far as it refers to eternal punishment. Bishop Colenso's book will, of course, have an immense circulation; the first edition, we learn, was not only, exhausted on the day of its pub licatien, but,not one half of the order could be ex ecuted. Of considerable interest in this connection are also the rumors respecting the.intended resig natien of Rev. Mr. Maurice and the subseqnent abandonment of this intention. It is stated: that when Mr. Maurice's intention became known, -the Bishop of London, ~ a nd even the Archbishop of Canterbury, personally entreated Mr. Maurice to abandon his resolve, and that representatives of all sections of the Church strongly urged upon him the mischief to the Church, which in their opinion Ins resignation "would cause. To these solicitations Mr Maurice at length gave way. In regard to liiehop Colenso's book, the London Record saps We feel no - alarm for, the result to the Bible,'but we do not feel the same confidence in reference to the National Church of England. Let her rulers be warned, and look to the signs of the time. A Lord Bishop, who feels himself lost amongst the Zulus, finds for himself no bettor occupation than to employ his arithmetical ingenuityinreviving the long-exploded cavils with ,refetenee to the ;Flood and the Exodus; or in denouncing the slaughter of the Midianites hir the solemn judgment of God, to be as bad as the massacre .of the English at Cawn pore. -Reett,rd. The translation. of .Dr. Thomson from the See of Gloucester and Bristol to the Archbishopric of York, has palled out no small comment. He is the youngest - English Bishop, being only forty-three years of age ; and he is the youngest in order of Consecration also, being only- promoted to the See of Gloucester.and Bristol last year. There is a gen,. oral agreement as to his 'merit and orthodoxy; and as, to the absence of all aristocratic influence : for he is the son, bf etradesman of Whitehaven, and has made his way by his own abilities. He is one of the writers in "Aids to Faith " against the _"Es says and Reviews." A curious precedent is quo. ted from ante-Reformation -times,, in the case o Cardinal Bunbrigg, who, like Dr. Thomson, wa born in the Northern Province, raised himself by his own ability, was, educated at. Queen's College, Oxford, of which he became Provost, and after be. ing Bishop one year (of Durham, however, no' Oloucester and Bristol), was translated to ;York. Not• one of the Archbishops of England and Ire , land, or the Primus of.Scotiand; or the .Metroroli tan of Canada,, can be properly called " gelical. --Church Journal.'

The Southern Religions Prese.—We believe says the Bu f falo Advocate there is but one religious weekly remaining, which at the outbreak of seces sion joined hands with the South. That one is the Southern Christian Advocate now published in At lanta, Ga., and is the result of the union of the Charleston and Memphis Advocates. [The N. Y. Iribune recently quoted from the Richmond Chris tian Advocate. And we have recently seen a notice of the. Rev James McNeill leaving the editorship of the N. C. Presbyterian.] Five religious papers have gone down in Missouri, viz : the' St. Louis Christian Advocate, of the M. E. Church South, the St. Louis Observer, of the• Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the Union Presbyterian a Baptist paper, a'Catholic paper, and we think one more. The Central . (at St. Louis) is the only religious paper remaining in Missouri: It is thoroughly loy al and most ably edited by. Di., Elliott, who says in his last week's issue that it ," will live and send its thou Sands of issues weekly throughout Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and. Kansas, and the n southern regions of lowa and Illinois, as well as Nebraska and' Colorado." 'l'.JotitJtlto.,..*4 Congresi.—The Second Session of the Thirty- Seventh Congress met, at noon on Monday, pecem ber Ist. Yice-President Hamlin being absent, the Selia;c:_WwLealled to order by the Presidentpro tem. , Senator Foot Rev. br. Sunderland OPened the proceedings with prayer. Some new senators were sworn in; and a committee appointed to wait on the President, and Senate took a receSs. After ,the Teeess, Mr.'Collanier said the committee had'waited on the President, and the Message would be imme diately communicated. The Message of the Presi dent was keceived and read by the Secretary of the Senate. :- - •' : The FlousE opened its sessions with prayer by Rev. Dr Stockton,-its chaplain. ,:gfter the usual preliminaries, some resolutions were offered, among which was one by Mr. Cox of Ohio, condemning arbitrary arrests, and declaring that they shall cease, and that allpersons so arrested shall have a prompt and public trial, according to the provisions of the Constitution and the laws of, the United States. Tabled, by a vote of 80 to 40. The President's Message was then received, which, having been read, was referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. On Tuesday, Mr. Powell' presented in the Senate resolutions of a similar Character, which were laid over. In the House, a , motion to inquire into the expediency of increasing the soldiers' pay to fifteen dollars a month, prevailed. The. Committee of Ways and Means was instructed to inquire into the expediency of admitting cotton free of duty. On Wednesday, the' standing committees were announced. In the Senate, those of last session were generally adopted. In the House, also, there is very little change. Thaddeus Stevens is chainian of the Committee of Ways and Means; John Hick man, of the Judiciary ;•' J. J. Crittenden still pre sides over Foreign A,ffairs ; and Mr. Ashley is chairman of the Territorial Committee. On Thursday, in the Senate, Mr. Sherman (Ohio) introduced a resolution calling for all correspondence, telegrams, letters, &c., if compatible with public interests, relating to.the surrender of Eihrper's Fer ry. The death of Senator_Thomson (of New Jersey) was referred to, and appropriate eulogies were passed on his, character by several senators, after which the customary resolutions were adopted. The House tabled , certain resolutions introduced by Mr. Wickliffe (Kentucky};.,-inquiring by what authority a Military Governor of District of Colum bia was appointed, and what power he possesses Mr. Stevens offered a resolution declaring it a high crime for any executive or legislative department which shall propose or accept terms of peace on any other basis than the unity of the States as they existed before rebellion broke out. Postponed-until Tuesday week. General Halleek's Report appears in connec tion with ,that of, the Secretary of War. He gives a full acconnt of the movements ~ of the War, since he beeame General-in-chief. On. the 24th of July he visited the:Army of the Potomac, then on• the Peninsula, "to ascertain if there was, a possibility of an advance, upon Richmond from Harrison's Landing ; and, if not, to form some plan of uniting the armies of General Mc- Clellan and Gen. Pope an, some other line. Not being familiar with the *Won and numbers of the troops in Virginia, and on the coast, I took the President's_ estimate of the largest number of rein forcements that could then be sent to the Army of the Potomac. On the day of my arrival at Harri son's Landing, Gen. McClellan was of opinion that he would require at least fifty thousand additional troops: Informed him that this number coUld not possibly be sent, that I was not authorized to Prem ise him over. wenty thousand, and that I could net well see how'even that number could safely be with: drawn from other places. He took the night for considering the matter, and informed me the next morning that he would make the attempt Apart Richmond. 'with the additional twenty, thousand. But immediately upon my return to Washington; , he telegraphed that he would require thirty-fife thousand men, a force which it was impossible to send without leaving Washington and. Baltimore almost defenceless. The only alternative now left was to withdraw the Army of the Potomac to some position where it - couldunite with that of Gen. Pope and cover Washington at, the same time that it operated against the enemy" General then , states that he ordered General McClellan to remove his army from the Peninsula, on the 3d of August, but that hewas_ not obeyed for eleven days, and that in the meantime General McClellan strong ly Priitested against the' movement:. • , 5- After a review ,of. the operatione Or General Pope before Washington, he says: "Although this short atid , active campaign was, from,-CatifieS ilretidy re-: Awl t ferrek to, less successful than , reason o ex pect, it has accomplished the great and important, object of covering the Capitil till troops could be collected for its: defence. Had the Army of the Potomac arrived a few days earlier, the rebel army could have been easily defeated, and perhaps de-:, strayed." The battles in Maryland, the surrender of Harrier's Ferry, and the operations in the South West, are referred to at length. The Secretary of Navy places our present naval! force at 427 vessels, -having an armament of 3288 guns. , He favors the establishment of' a'naval depot at League`lsland, near Philadelphia!, and also on' one of the rivers in the valley of the ,Mississippi, where vessels may be , constructed, armed, and ar mored. In the South West, Rosecrans is moving upon Knoxville. 'General:Blunt has'gained an important victory at Cave Hill, Arkansas.'. General Grant had advanced at last accounts to Abbeville, Mississippi; and occupied that town. Gen. Sherinin is at Sena tobia, on the Memphis and New Orleani Railroad. Re will form a jun3tion with Grant's main, army. at Grenada Junction, where the rebels will probably make stand. The, general impression seems to be, however, that Gen. Pembertim has fallen back to Jackson, which is on a line running east and west through.Yicksburg. It is plain that General'Grant no 4 `has the advantage - of breaking through the enemy's line of operations at Meridian junetion, on the Mobile and Mississippi Railroad. Such a 'move ment, if successfully executed, will end the war in the Southwest, as the enemy's entire communica tions wotild be in our possession. Victories`of the most substantial character await our' armies t in Ar kansas", Doilisiandi'and Mississippi. The expedition of Gen.
