Union in New South Wales.—The Conference on Presbyterian Union, composed of delegates from the Synods of the Established, Free, and. United Churches of New South Wales, met at Sydney; Nov. 6th, 10th and 11th of last year, and 'agreed unanimously upon a basis` of union Each Synod is to withdraw from its Scottish connection, and the united body will constitute an independent church of the province. The basis of union is a declaration of atta4itnent, to. the .recognized standards. of the Presbyterian Church, and the following explana tory declaration on the power and duty of the civil magistrate on matters of religion : _" the office bearers of this church, in subscribing these stand; ands, are not to be held as, countenancing any per seentitif-'Ol. intolerant 'principles, ors as professing any views in reference to the power and duty of the civil magistrate, inconsistent with the spiritual independence of the church, and the right of private judgment." Among the matters yet requiring ad justment is the future supply of ministers to the United Church, on which a difference of opinion prevailed when the conference adjourned. Rev. Wm. Arnot't deolinature of the call to the St. George's English Presbyterian Church, of Liverpool, has occasioned much feeling, The St; George's Church uses an organ, which in Presbyte rian worship 'in Great Britain is an innovation of g reat magnitude. Mr. Arnot, by coming to the church, would .have involved himself in the organ controversy, and it seems that the church is rather avoided by suck ministers as seeks, and ; "night otherwise obtain for its pulpit, on account of the trouble anticipated in this organ question The members of the church itself are divided on the subject, we believe. Overture on. Sabbath Instruction. The Synod of New Jersey (0. A.) have unanimously • adopted the following overture to the next General Assembly on the subject of Sabbath Instruction, asking a revision of the Directory for Worship, with a vieW to the following points: let. To reclaim the Sabbath afternoon or evening expressly for family instruction, and enforce the duty upon parents. 2d. To give a distinet consti tutional recognition 'to' the Sabbath-school, as a cherished instrumentality of, the church, for the nur ture of her own youth and the evangelization of others ; ••attd to provide that the time appropriated be ample, as esteeming this to be a'cardinal means of grace. 3d. To restrict its assemblies, in all ordinary eases, to one part of the day, so as to avoid trenching nport-the time - appropriated to 'the para mount duties of parent& "4th- To secure to the Pastor, unequivocally, as the divinely appointed teacher of, the* landta of the 11°014 the - tiefogittive, and hold him to the responsibility of presideney over the school, with provision for &vice- president or superintendent, to serve in the absence of the Pastor, sth. To recognize the church session as invested with authority and responsible_ for the de tails of the organization, the appointment and re moval of teachers, and the whole government of the school 6tft. To provide for such ,a system of distinctive instruction as will secure ,to our youth` a thorough training, not only in the doctrines of grace, but in the principles of order which the Scriptures set forth, and , keep continually before their minds the bnrden of baptismal obligations, and the value of covenant ,privileges, as sealed to the children of God's people., Episcopal—Prams(linbso in Regard to Colenso's Book. The lower house of the Convocation of Can terbury having requested the upper house to , pay some attention to Colenso'is book, the Bishop of St, David's offered•a resolution virtually dismiSsina, the subject The Bishop of London agreed with this mode of disposing of the subject. The Bishop of Lincoln said, he did not see how their;lordships could refuse to accede to the request of the lower house, exprassed as it had been by an almost unanimous vote of that house. The church would look to Convodation for an opinion on the matter, and he thought the course the lower house had taken was a right one.' He moved 'an amendment, which carried, to the effect that the Archbishop be requested to direct the Members of the lower house to appoint a committee 'of thifintembers to °asinine the book written by. the Bishop 'of Num'. The Archbishop of Canterbury expressed his concur rence in the decision thus reached. A different course would, he said, have the appearance of. sti fling inquiry. Baptist.—Bev. Sohn. E. Ceeshire, late ehaPlain in the army, has accepted the unanimmzs `call of the church at Schuylkill PAW, located in die ntirth ern:seetion of Philadel phia.—Anong those recently baptized in Chalets by Rev. A: P. Mason, D.D., was Capt. Mafia, Bailing master of the iron r olad Nantucket, which was to .sail from Charlestovrn Navy Yard for Fortrese Monroe on Saturday, 7th Methodist Statistics.—The `Methodist - Methodist says : "The report of the Missionary Society Shows a prosperous condition in all departments of the work. The accounts from foreign fields especially abound in gratifying evidences of Success and hopeful tokens of future progress." Missionain India, China, Ger many, and the North of Europe are flourishing; the African and South Ariterioun fields arQ i n a healthy condition ; only Belgium is tardy in repay ing the labor of its missionaries. In India, $3,057 2 . 57 was contributed to the,,lmissipn. the domestic department the German work hio grown in strength until it has Demme a power: la the church.. It ce cupies an important , place in eleven conferences, and numbers on its rolls 238 Ministers, and 21,480 members, who have contribitted $10,253.57 to the cause. Thirty missionaries are , employedmith the Scandinavian settlers in the West, anti-report .a membership of 2,094. Of 1201310 nasionaries proper there are 800. The .total of receipts is $272,523.71. The Philadelphia conference gave $25,337, the 1 irgest amount from any similar body in the church. The Book Committee in New York recently voted $4OO to each annual conference towards the support of superalinuated ministers. Editor Congregational—Alexandroffsky, Russia..—The Rev. James Bey, the Pastor of the British and. American Church at Alexandroffsky, near St. Petersburg, has retired on account of his wi.fe's health from hiS position in Russia, and recently re turned to hisnative country. In the result of a council convened in Granby, Feb. 24th, composed of seven neighboring churches, and called for the dis mission of Rev.` Mr. Mills, the following sentence occurs We highly approve of his persistence in• extemporaneous preaching in the face of prejudice and opposition, and congratulate him on his final sueeess.',' Missionaxy:—The same spirit of sectarian rival ry which projected the recent ecclesiastical "raid" of an , English Bishop and his associate upon the narrow and fully occupied field of the American Board in the Sandwich Islands, is• at work in regard to Madagascar. After the London Missionari So ciety (Independent) had reorganized its mission on the Island, the Church Missionary Society and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (Episco pal), both took Measures to establish.missions, but it was:honorably agreed between the Bishop 'of Mauritius and Mr. Ellis that in 'any effort made by the Church - Missionary Society or the SoeietYfiar the Propagation of the Gospel, the agents which those institutions might send forth should occupy some of those:Wide fields of ignotanc4 And heathen ism yet uncultivated; - that thus no collision or interference should occur between the labcirers, - but that they: should prirgue 'their several operatiOns in the Spirit of mutual good-will and fraternal regard. In: accordance with this undertaking, the Church Missionary Society and the 'Propagation Society Were each ,:about to send two 'devoted laborers to Madagascar. :Sometime Afterwards, however, it was understood that efforts were making to form a society, - andel". the highest eeclesiaitical patronage, specially with the design,of -sending out 'a bishop and six missionary clergymen :to Madagascar. It was proposed, not that the agents of the intended institution should occupy those, populous districts which lie on the coast, or in the interior remote from the capitol, but that they should make the capitol itself the centre and basis of their opera firma The 'London Society has protested against this needless demonstration of sectarian, spirit, as in direct opposition to that good understanding and catholic spirit which have been invariably maintain ed by the 'Protestant missionary institutions, both of Britain and all other,countries. A public meet ing of the ftiends of the Society was held February 17th, in London, Lord Shaftesbury in the , chair. After the above facts had been stated, the chairman made an address in which he said, he must confess that he had heard with sorrow—yea, with dismay, that it was contemplated to set on foot a new mis sion to Madagascar ; that there was to be a bishop, Springing from what he knew not, and a body of clergy, tending to what he knew not, sent into that. island; not to roam over regions of it were the Gospel had not been, paeached, not to, carry the light of life to the heathen, but to enter the capitol itself, there to encumber by an effulgence of glory the light which has been already ; diffused. (Cheers) Till the morning of that very day he had known nothing in detail of the intentions of the parties; and now that he was made aware of them, he must say that, of. all the undertakings that had ever entered into the mind of man, it was the wildest and most objectionable. lie denennced the pro ject as unnecessary, as fatal to the progress of the Gospel among the people, as bringing discredit on the Church of .'England' and affording a handle to the Roruanists. He Was sorry to see the names of a great number of dignitaries appended to the scheme ; but he honestly believed they were in com plete ignorance of the real state of things in Mada gascar ; for otherwise it was most unlikely that they would any more come forward to disturb the operations of this noble body, than they would think of upsetting the Church of England and spreading disorder in every:one of the paiishea. Rev. Wm Arthur, of the Weslyan Church, and Rev. Dr. Mac Farlane, of Rotland, was also present, and ex pressed symnathy Witn.the SoCiety. We presume, however, the High- Church movement will not be aveited.--A Life-work Oornpleted. --Letters have; ust been mceived, says the N Y.: Observer, from Rev: Di. Goodell, of anstantinople, stating that,the great work of his lite—the translation of the Word of God into Armeno-Turkish, and its thorough revision and preparatien for publication— has been completed. Revivals.—At the " old Si:nith chapel" prayer meeting, in Boston, last week, Rev. Mr. Grimes said God had answered our prayers by coming among his people Ma wonderful , manner, and bring ing many hardened sinners to bow submissive =to the Saviour's feet ; he had been called up nine times at midnight, to visit and pray with sinners in the deepest distress, and on . Sunday eve, God came among them in power, and six souls yielded to him. One man who had ridiculed religion, went home and called up his family and told them what Godt had done' for him, and prayed with, and for them.' On Tuesday morning, a gentleman from Fall River reported the revival there as still progressing with power. , He said one emild .hardly meet a man in the street who was not interested. A remarkable case of specific answer to prayer, had occurred. Two men agreed to pray for the conversion of a single man.`- A week after- they met him, he told them that , from' the very hOur in the day on which they made the •agreement, though unknown to him, be had been thinking serionsly about, his lost condition and his need of a' Saviour. , • 0 II tOTIC .rgyV The . War.—The President has issued a Procla mation, calling upon deserters from the army to return to their regiments, and fixing April Ist as the extreme limit of forbearance, after which abser, tees will be dealt with according to law. He also calls upon all patriotic and faithful' citizens to op pose and resist the treasonable attemts made to en , tice the soldiers to desert , and absent themselves from their regiments and to assist in the execution of the act for enrolling and calling out the national forces* Thera were rumors in Cairo and Cincinnati, Mar: 13th, of the fall 6f Forts Donaldson and Henry into the handaof the rebels, and of the entire suc cess of General Grant's expedition into Mississippi, via the Yazoo pass, resulting in the capture of seven thousand prisoners and eight transports. It was reported that Colonel Richardson, a noted guerilla chief, and four hundredvf his'men, were captured at Covington Bend on the 9th, a #ederal fore having surrounded them. The Vicksburg Whig of ,March sth says, the Indianola was destroyed to prevent her falling into the hands of the Yankees, who had sent down what was believed to be a Monitor to , recapture her. After the order to blow up the Innianola had been given, it was discovered that the Monitor was a grand hoax.--nothing but a coal barge fitted us so as to utterly decieve the Vicksburgers, who trap:- fon:6d; it in their imagination, into a naval mot,- ster. The order was countermanded, but 'it was toolate ;the..4lf3chief had been done- 7 the. 'obi wits bloWn to atoms, and not a gun saved! The War. Atnttititit . :Vttoirttitiit: i-aitt., J - riltito::=tt 'yfritit4tiiot. Hilton Head.—Active operations against Char leston seems to'be delayed by the misunderstanding between General Hunter and Foster. Gen. Foster left for the North some time ago. Gen. Naglee, who came with him, has been relieved' of his com mand, and' ordered away from Hilton Head by Gen. Hunter, on account of insubbrdinate conduct. All the negro troops in that department embarked on an expedition to Florida, March Bth. No white force went with them. Col. Higginson is in' com mand as acting Brigadier. All, the able-bodied negroes` from 18 to 50 years of age are drafted by Gen lluntea to serve as garrisons in the fortifica tions. Secretary Chase was New York among the bankers on Saturday. According to the 2ribune: "He stated 'that he has a proposition from Euro pean capitalists for one hundred millions_of bonds `at a rate which will yield something over par here, at the *sent rate or exchange. He has been strongly urged to accept the proposition,. but we understand the probabilities are against his doing -so." ' Tennessee.—A large force of infantry, cavahy ,and artillery moved March 9th, from Franklin against Van Dorn'at Spring Hill. They were not, quick enough for the rebels wig) retreated South beyond Duck River. Why this' " large force" was not sent forward some time during that long and imfortunate day's fighting at Spring Hill, two weeks ago, doei not yet appear.—Gen. Rosecrans has or dered that all whose natural supporters are in the rebel service, and whose sympathies and connections are such that they cannot give assurances of loyalty, will hold themselves in readiness to go south of.our lines within ten days. An exodus of butternut population from Murfreesboro will take place im mediately. 'Gen. Grank6r's pursuit of Van Dorn, after the disaster, of -Swing Hill, was not very extensive.. After the rebels got beyond the Duck River Gen. Granger returned, March 10th, to. Franklin. grank lin, Teen., appears tol2e:a new base of operations, indicated by a movement of Gen. Bragg to turn our right flank as he did before Murfreesboro. AUnion palled. Capt. Brown arrived from Arkadelphia it gayeiteville Ark., rlV.larch 12th. He •had eighty - -three men in the-mountains on White river, near Arkadelphia, where his little com mand were attacked on. Sunday; the 15th of Febru ary last. The fight leafed from sunrise till noon, when the rebels were completely routed, with a lohs of sixteen killed and twelve wounded. Capt. Brown lost two killed and'four wounded. He' brought in , Some recruits for the Ist Arkansas infantry. CaP tain Vanderpool came in March 11th with two hundred Union niett- , -mostly recruits for the'vol unteer service. • From New Orleans.---The New Orleans Era of the Ist states that twenty rebels who bad recently been sent into the rebel lines had returned begging for bread, and to be allowed to take the oath of al legiance.. They were : suffering from actual hunger, and their children. were crying for food. A rebel major and 'a captain who had been paroled by Ad . Miral Farragut have returned to New Orleans and taken the oath of allegiance. ' The rebels would not receive them. All of these parties give fearful state ments of the destitution which prevails in the rebel States. An order had been filed in the Provisional Court for the confiscation of Slidell's property in ,New Orleans. Naval:--_ By advices from Port Royal to March Bth, all the Monitors were at tlat port in good con dition a‘torpedo had exploded under the Non-: .tank without injuring her, though it lifted her a foot out of water: They could not get, near enough to Fort McAllister to dismantle it. An English steamer—blockade xunner--wks ashore near Char leston. The Quaker City captured the English steamer Douro, with 429 bales of cotton; off Cape Fear. The Schooner Belle, from Nassau, with coffee and salt, - was recently captured, by the Poto mska. . The Iron-dads in, an Engagement.— The late engagements at Fort McAllister have fully tested the invulnerability of the iron-clad fleet. They made four attacks upon the fort, using it asa target,, and to test the strength of the vessels. 'ln one engagement the Montauk was struck fourteen times, but only received indentions in her armor, and had the plating on her deck furrowed. In a second engagement she was struck forty-eight times, and the Passaic was struck thirty-three times. The rebels mostly threw solid shot. In, one instance they drove the bolts of the pilot-house through, but did no other damage. The balls were generally directed at the port-holes of the Monitors, and usually hit the space between the two guns. The balls would fall into pieces after striking, leaving the vessels uninjured. Some of the shots fired were ten-inch ones. The concussion_ was scarcely felt in the turrets. A fast sailing schooner, with a secessionist crew, and six brass Dahlgrens aboard, was seized in San francisco harbor, March 15th, when about to leave for Mexico. The Legislature of Delaware—the majority being composed of material who delight in being represented in Congress by such men as Senator Salisbury, naturally enough undertook to abridge the authority of the Government and cripple its ability to deal with traitors in the State by an act of virtual, nullification, They passed a law a few weeks ago, making it a penal offence for any person to assist the -United States authorities in making military arrests within the State. In the geed providence of. God:however, a thoroughly loyal :and brave man was elected Governor at the same time with the legislature, and though he does not pro secs. the power of the veto, he can pardon.; and, he has since the passage of the bill sent a message to the Legislature, declaring it to be his duty "to take care that the State shall not be made the ref uge of foreign traitors or domestic conspirators." He also says : The Governor has a general control over the operation of criminal enactments, and such control I will exercise to its uttermost extent to protect any person acting under the authority of the President of the United States, or any citizen aiding such person in bringing to light any conspi racy, or in arresting any one guilty of disloyal prac tices or treassnable designs against the government. The Great Gold Panic of two weeks ago in New York City, when in consequence of the legis, laden in Congress the 'premium fell- 22 per cent., from 72 to 50, is, thus described in the :I . Uilopertdent: "BY one or, two o'clock oh the great panic-day the crowd -in the street and brokers' offices was im mense. It was almost impossible at one time to pass. William street was a blocked-up pandemo nium. All the bulls and bears in New York were , let loose, and Were working like firemen at an engine. Police officers were plenty, and were called upon to keep the peace. A score of bank presidents were also seen dodging about in- all di rections. Some of these officers suddenly found their `merging' on the wrong side. To wait till another day was counted risky. Many there galled in loans right and left, believing that the bottem bad really dropped out. A leading capitalist in Washington, whose sympathies are all with AIL Davis, held at the time of the panic, it is said, three millions of gold, bought at 170 to 172. Good enough for him!" Brigham Young Arrested for Polygamy. SALT LAs - F. Cm, March 10.--Judge Kinney this day issued a writ against Brigham Young, under the polygamy act of Congress. U. S. Marshall Gibbs served it without the aid of posse. The writ was responded to, and the defendant personally appeared in court. After .a preliminary investigation, the Judge held )him ins2ooo bail, which was promtly given. Eastern Virginia.—The rebel General Long streth is at Petersburg, Va. 18,000 men under his command. are twelve miles east of Petersburg, men acing our forces on the Blackwater. Again Pronioted.—We nptice with utneb plea sure that Dr. G.:B. Hotchkin, son of Rev. B, F. Hotchkin, formerly o this place, has been pro moted to Chief Surgeon of the Cavalry ljrigide to which his regiment is attached:. This is a ; high re cognition of the Doctor's merit, and those who know him best will admit of its just accord. It is his second promotion since , entering the service as as sistant Surgeon, fist to Regimental „Surgeon, and new to chief of the Brigade. Foreign.—The 22d of February was celebrated by a banquet at St. James' Hall, London. Minister Adams replied to the toast to the Union. His-re marks were confined to extolling Washington for his glorious efforts in behalf of the Union.. He re pudiated the idea'that he could; if alive, possibly be found on the side of the rebels, and4elaimed that henceforth the memory of Washington must' be kept in reverence exclusively by:those AMericans who are loyal to the perpetuation of the govern ment which he was so instrumental in forming. Messrs. Coninghpm and White, Members ef Far liament, both spoke in denunciation of slavery as the cauSe of#he war, and in terms of sympathy with the Nerth.—The relief ship Achilles,,from Phila delphia, reached Liverpooton the 22d,0f Feb.

General Forey says he despairs of taking Puebla without a much greater army, and'calls for large reinforeethents. NAVAL VICTORY. The Yazoo Pass Expedition has achieved a very great success, the particulars of . which are not known at this writing. The Cincinnati Gazette of the 15th has a dispatch from Vicksburg which says that the Yazoo Pass expedition captured 26 steam boats 18 of which had been destroyed. The United States gunboats had arrived above Haines' .Bluff, and would soon commence the attack.
