Hammond:in Montreal.—A cor respondent of• the independent writing from Mon treal, December 22d, says: A short time ago, the pastor of the American church, Rev. J. B. Boner, invited Mr Hammond to come and labor in that church. He came, and the first meeting was held on Sunday, the 14th of December. The building was crowded. Mr. H.'s address was pointed and earnest, and the Holy Spirit was evidently present in power. After the regular services closed, 'an inquiry meeting was or ganized, and a large number remained. Since then there have been three meetings a day. The Lord has given testimony to the power of the truth. Many are coming to the Saviour, and among them large numbers of is are giving their hearts to. Christ. There is little apparent ex citement, except Asevidenoed by , the crowded assem blies; everything is solemn and orderly, and people seem to be hearing as for their lives. Yesterday Mr. H. addressed,between three and four thous and souls in the argest Protestant -church in the city--the number may seem large, but is Literally true; and so great was the crowd about the doors, that the basement was thrown open, and immedi ately filled, while hundreds had to go away, unable to get into the building. It is estimated that about four hundred rose for prayer at ;hat meeting. The interest seems to be increasing and deepening, and the work has both the sympathy and co-operation of the city pastors. We all stand amazed saying, " What hath. God wroght!" for it was never seen on this wise before." Lieentiatec—The Third Presbytery of _Philadel phia, at a recent meeting, licensed Messrs.

T. R. R. Cobb, a younger brother of Howell Cobb, Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of- the Treasury. Mr. Cobb, was a 'lawyer of eminence, and a writer of considerable ability, Ile was also an elder of the Presbyterian Church ? and a delegate to the General Assembly which met in Neff Orleans in 1858. Presbyterianism in England. The London Weekly Review of December 16th says: "Wherever English Presbyterians and United Presbyterians meet, the ingenuity of the brethrelPon each side is racked to, devise expressions of amity, of good-will, of readiness to unite. These things being so, and when we add the most important consideratibu of all—namely, that every movement towards union in brooches of the Church has been marked by a quickening of spiritual life in the United Church,— it is 'really, inconceivable that the English Presby terians and - the United Presbyterians should con tinue formally apart. We think we May state that the consummation of a•union is now emere matter of arrangement. The United Presbyterian Church, having become a power in England; is taking steps to secure for itself a synodic governmenir on this side'the Tweed. In so doing, it is but following the example of its sister-Church, the English Presby- terian, and recognizing the fact, which every man may perceive who looks round in England, that it is as an English institution, not as a Scotch impor tation, that Presbyterianism will grow in England. Once the United Presbyterians have an independent. Synod in' England, the time will have come for a regular treaty of union between the denominations, and for constituting the United 'English Presbyte rian Ohurch. Against him who would prevent this consummation, or who would sever the union when formed, we are almost tempted to invoke that fear ful anathema which NmroN pronounced on bitu who should sow discord between the sister-nations England and Scotland." Rev. John S. Beekman has received a unanimous call from the Presbyterian church of Farmington, Fulton County, Illinois, of Peoria Presbytery. Mr. Beekman is of Tuscaloosa Presbytery, Alabama, but having remained loyal to the Government of the United States, escaped not long since from the South. He has expressed a willingness to accept the call.—The First Mansfield Congregation, of the Presbytery of Newton, at Washington, Warren County, New Jersey, lost their church' by fire, on the night of Saturday, 6th ult. The building was of brick, with a tower and cupola, containing a fine bell, weighing about 1400 pounds. It was erected in the year 1838, at a cost of sls,ooo.—The Theo logical Seminary at Danville, Ky., was opened No vember 17th, according to the notice given. Six students were present. The professors are all in, attendance,' Drs. Breckinridge, Stimphreys,Yerkes, and Stanton.— On the Occasion of Dr. Candle:lh' s Inaugjjration as Principal of the Free Church Col lege of Edinburgh, last month, he was invited to a public breakfast, and presented with $30,000, as a token of the gratitude of the Free Church for ser vices rendered by him, before and since the disrup tion. di or Carson City.—The preacher in charge writes to. the Christian Advocate: "Last Wednesday the ladies of the city gave a festival for the purpose of raising "money to assist me in purchasing a house. They cleared for me the sum of $3BO, and gave us other assistance equally necessary."—Middletown (Md.) Circuit. Brother L. S. Crone writes: "This charge has been considerably injured by the war. When Maryland was invaded, - both armies passed through our circuit, and the battle of South MOllll- • tain was fought about a mile from one of our ap pointments. A number of our churches have been, and some ire yet, occupied as hospitals. Our ap pointments on the Potomac are almost entirely de stroyed for the present. But while we cannot labor there, we try to bestowmore abundant labor on the other pins of the. eircuit."—At Genesee College and Seminary there are four hundred students ; at Talley Seminary, Fulton, N.Y.,. there are two hun dred and thirty female students.

Breaking up Couvente.—lt is good news to hear that the work of suppressing conventual estab lishments is gOing on in Italy. The plan proposed and thus far acted on is to makd suitable provision for life for the present inmates, and to convert the convents into schools, barracks, asylum's, and such institutions as will be for the public benefit. Vast tracts of land are now nominally held by monas teries. These are to be leased and the income ap plied to the support of the present monks , ; but as they are to have no successors, the income will eventually revert to the State.—/V: P. Obs.

The Rebel Cavalry have shown great audacity and skilful handling during the war. Stuart in eastern Virginia, and Morgan in Kentucky, have performed the most daring exploits ; and the want of organization and, efficiency among our cavalry is most manifest in our constant failure to surprise and overhaul these marauders. In Kentucky, General Morgan has destroyed considerable portions of the Nashville and Louisville railroad, having got entire ly in General Roseerans' rear and reached a point not more than•twenty miles froin Louisville, causing alarm on the Ohio River and even in Indiana. He was driven off and sent southward on the 29th of December. General Stuart has been trying to frighten all our ontlying,posts in front of Washing ton, and was encamped, December 29th, but twelve miles. from Alexandria: He was driven off from Dumfries by, Col. Geary with loss. New Madrid, No. has been reoccupied, and affairs have a better appearance than they had a week ago in the West. Repairs are being, pushed forward upon the line of the railroad running south from Columbus, which the - rebels devastated con siderably in their late raid, but which they have now abandoned. Despatches from Arkansas are contradictory. One, from General Blunt, December 28th, speaks of pursuing the enemy across the river; another, from Fayetteville, Ark., December 31st, speaks of the return of our forces to Prairie Grove. They burned six steamers at Van Buren, loaded with stores for the rebel army. The rebels burned their arsenal and ferry-boat at Fort Smith, to prevent their falling into our hands ; also, a large quantity of forage and provisions on the opposite bank of the river. A general conflagration was.in progress when our forces left. Many deserters came to ourlines, who report that two regiments of Missourians stacked their arms a few days ago, crossed the river, and went home. Another regiment.of Missourians left a short time after, taking their arms with them. Two- regiments of Texans also stacked their arms and started for home. A regiment of cavalry was sent in pursuit, but instead of arresting, joined, the runaways. Everything goes to show that the rebel army of trans-Mississippi is completely disorganized. In Arkansas the defeated rebels have retired to Arkadelphia, some hundred and forty miles south east of Van Buren, and fifty or sixty south-west of Little Rock, the capital of the State. Gen. Blunt, who sdems to be at Van Buren, telegraphs, Decem ber 30th,that Colonel Phillips, whom be bad set* into the Indian Territory with twelve hundred men, has driven the forces of Coffee and Stewart across the Arkansas line, at Port Gibson, and destroyed the rebel fortifications, barracks, and commissary building, at Fort Davis. Sullivan, with 6000 men, attacked Forrest on Thurs day morning, the Ist, at Hunt's Cross Boa.ds, twelve miles from Lexington, Tenn. The engagement was severe, lasting all day. The gun-beat patrolled Ahe river and prevented the from crossing. The latter fought desperately, but were finally routed with a loss of 1400 >killed and wounded, and 400 captured. We. also' took three hundred and fifty MethOdisL Miscellaneous. The War. antrtican Vrtolitteriatt4 horses, nearly a thousand stand of arms, and a-bat tery of six guns. .The Union loss was eight hundred killed and wounded. These losses may be exagger ated, but it is certain that they were very heavy. General Rosecrans advanced from Nashville towards Murfreesboro, December 30th, pushing the enemy before him. Just beyond Nolinsville, our troops made a dexterous flank movement, and thelo Ist Ohio captured one gun and a caisson. General Roseerans continued his advance towards Murfreesboro in the early part of last week, determined to anticipate the rebel advance upon Nashville. Fighting began at once and has been kept up through the entire week, the entire armies on boil), sides being engaged. Great and furious engagements have taken place almost every day, with reported heavy losses in men and officers on both sides. Advantages have been gained and lost, batteries have been captured and retaken; but it seems useless to load our columns with details which cannot be threaded or framed into a clear statement. Nothing is clear at this writing but that Gen. Rose evens has shown extraordinary determination and personal bravery; that both sides have fought with desperation ; that the rebel cavalry have done Much damage by:getting into our rear and destroying bag gage and ammunition trains ; that neither Nashville nor Murfreesboro has been captured. The report that our troops had reached Knoxville is not confirmed, but rebel papers say that the Yankees have seriously damaged the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad at a point near the boun dary line of the two States. On Saturday the 27th of December, Gen. Sher man landed his forces from the south bank of the Yazoo River, ten miles from its mouth, and drove the enemy before laim, after a terrible conflict of five hours. The next morning he ,crossed two inter vening bayous under the enemy's fire, and again carried their positions, some of -which were in trenched. The rebel papers report the fighting as still going on Monday and Tuesday, in which they claim the victory. • On the night of the 30th, in a squall off Cape Hatteras, the oiiginal Monitor sprang a leak and wont down with two officers and thirty-eight men. The Monitor was on her way to open one of the Southern ports. She had preceded an expedition under General Naglee, which sailed from Hampton Roads on the Ist of January. The Monitor was known to be unseaworthy under heavy weather. Her turret leaked considerably ; but, in the hope of good weather, she proceeded - under convoy for a point on the Southern coast. Victory !—What a revolution took place in the public mind when the direful suspense, caused on Monday by the failure •of Western telegraph lines to operate, was dissipated, at four o'clock in the after noon, by the joyful news of victory I We scarcely dared to expect it. The conflict had seemed so doge, the losses so great, the enemy's desperation and courage so fierce and stubborn, victory of late had seemed so reluctant to perch on our banners in any decisive manner, and every contest on a large scale had become at 'this stage of the war so momen tous and critical, that the news was waited for with unwonted anxiety. And when on Monday it was announced that the curtain had fallen, and no fur ther information of 'the struggle could be obtained, the load on every heart grew heavier. 'lt was al most impossible to wear through the anxious hours, in which the fate of our western army, and perhaps of% our cause, was being decided. But God again has not only spared us from catastrophe when we feared it, but has signally vindicated our cause. He has set his seal of disapproval•upon that wicked army, which, during the battle, vented its demoniac spite upon the colored race, by murdering such of them as were captured from us, in the capacity of drivers. In 4.. he name of thisi3vd-offustice-we now setup our banners and rejoice in the confounding. of our enemies, "that men may knoir that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth." Official Announcement of the Victory by General Rosecrans.--CAmp NEAR MURFREES BORO' January 4th, MO.—To Major-General H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief:--Following my des patch of last evening I have to announce that the enemy are in full retreat. They left last night. The rain having raised the river, and the bridge across it between the left and centre being incom plete, I deemed it prudent to withdraw that wing during the night. This occupied my time until four o'clock, and fatigued the troops. The com mencement of the retreat was known to me at seven o'clock this morning. Our amunition train arrived during the night. To-day was engaged in distribu ting the ammunition, burying the dead and collecting arms from the field of battle. The pursuit was commenced by the 'centre, the two leading brigades arriving at the west side of Stone river this even ing. The railroad bridge was saved, but in what condition is not known. We shall occupy the town and push.' the pursuit to-morrow. Our Medical Di rector estimates the wounded in the hospital at short of MOO, and our dead at 1000. We have to deplore the loss of Lieutenant-Colonel Garesche„ those capacity and gentlemanly; deportment had already endeared :iim to all the offteers of this com mand, and whose gallantry in the field of battle ex cited their admiration (Signed) W. S. ROSECRANS, Major-General Commanding. (Our army occupied Murfreesboro' Sabbath morning.) We give the New York Herald's account of the decisive movement of our army in the battle, of Murfreesboro, in which the 78th . Pennsylvania took the lead. It took place on Friday afternoon. Atter the severe struggle of Wednesday the ene my persisted in massing upon our right, to cut us off from Nashville. To foil this attempt, our right was thrown out,to Stewart's Creek, and the enemy, finding us ,too strong on that portion of our line, suddenly fell upon our ceigre on Thursday morning, but were severely repulse by' the left of Thomas' and the right of Crittenden's grand - divisions. Later in the dayithey fiercely assailed the right of our centre and were again repulsed. Both side§ spent the remainder of the day in sharp skirmishing and =occurring for position. On Thursday night the enemy appeared again to be concentrating upon our right. Their commands were distinctly heard in our camps; but suspecting a ruse, Genetal Rosecrans threw Beatty's brigade of Van Cleve's division across Stones River on our left, with supports, where they rested at about ten o'clock this morning. Between 'three and four o'clock this afternoon the enemy made another for midable demonstration against our centre, but were handsomely repulsed. At the same time an im mense mass of infantry was precipitated upon Beat ty's brigade, and drove it, after a gallant resistance, clear back across the river. , Negley's fine division, which took so distinguished a part in the preceding actions, ami that of Jeffer son C. Davis,suceessively came to its support, when a most desperate struggle ensued. Both sides seemed determined to win victory, and both brought all their available artillery to play, until nearly all the batteries in the two armies were at work. The uproar of musketry and artillery was of 'the most furious description, and the whole field was soon shrouded by clouds of smoke. Our men suffered severely by the enemy's fire, but they advanced with unflinching determination. , Negley at last ordered his division to charge. It pushed forward without faltering; when the enemy sullenly gave way. The gallant Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania charged home on the Twenty-sixth Tennessee and captured its colors. Another regiment rushed upon a battery, drove away the gunners and seized the guns. A great shout of victory rose along the whole line, and was carried _in magnificent volumes from, c ft to right and back again. Perceiving this sum ordered anra.dvance of dark.

PAGE'S letters, stating their recovery from Epilepsy, under Dr. Column's treatment, were published some time since in this paper. We now add the following ca.ses: The Superintendent of the l'oex House in Abing ton, after several months' treatment of,a pauper who had FITS about every weelewhen I tommenced with him, wrote me as follows . • "AsixonoN, December 2d, 1850.. " Thepatient has had no fit since I wrote you last". (This was three months.) "I know of no cause for' this favorable change, except your treatment of him.l BENJAMIN FROST.

M. H. Sursiona." The above cases, except Mr. Breaker's, were ,seve- , ral years since, and now let me refer.to another recent one. Not having heard for some time from the fol.: lowing patient,' who had previously been under ruy; treatment, on the .10th of Jan e wrote, inquiring after, his health. The following is his reply : "Noumea . CT., June 16 1862. -. " Da. W. M.
