He is in comfortable Circumstances, not His,pro pertrhaSbeen accumulated by hie trade, of a saddle and harness maker, at which he still labors. But taking counsel not of interest,, but of ihity, he went forward, and one Sabbath last Fall he was able to present to the Lord a small, but neat stone uhurch, completely finished and furnished, costing, over., one . thousand dollars, all paid by himself The, writer had the pleasnre of preaching in it maim afternoon of the day of its dedication, and occasionally since. Mr. Berger is a child-like, modest man, who does not seek the praise of men ; and yet I think all will agree with me, that here is an act which needs ,a chronicle on earth, as well as in heaven." \ It . would be a happy thing if good Mr. Berger, whose liher ality is worthy of all praise, could make scincie har ness for many lazy, and stingy Christians that are to be found, with which, they would draw an equal weight of treasure toward the cause of God. We congratulate the worthy donor, that by his modesty he has fulfilled the injunction "Let not him that' girdeth on his harness boast himself."--Standard.

The meeting was in response to one recently_. held in Philadelphia, at "Which a call was. issued for a General Convention of Methodists in favor of the object to meet in New York city, on the 12th of next May. This call was heartily endorsed, and a committee of arrangements for the contemplated convention was appointed, after which the meeting adjourned. Notwithstanding the majority of layvotes, just cast against lay delegation, this meeting re.. solved, that "the progress of the movement to secure , ' Lay Representation in the M. E. Church has been such as to encourage its Mends, and to inspire con fidence in their ultimate success, and that we there fore deem:it to be the duty of those in favor of Lay Representation throughout our connection to come to some common Understanding, and to act in con cert on the whole subject." • Baptist.-=-Numerons Revivals,— The New York Examiner of last week contains a long and deeply encouraging list of recent revivals in, churches of that denomination, in various parts of the country. We make full extracts "Rev. G. W. Huntley writes from Spencer, Tioga county,. N.Y.: ' The past winter has been a season richly laden with fruits of heavenly grace to the Baptist church'in Spencer. The Holy Spirit in a special manner has moved upon Christian hearts, and brought sinners through repentance and faith into the kingdom of Christ. Twenty-one converts have recently been baptised into the fellowship of the Church, and seven more are received as candidates for the ordi nance."—Rev. H. A. Guild, pastor of the Baptist church in Berlin, N. Y., baptised nine additional converts on the last day of February, making twenty-five thus received within a few days. --A Boston correspondent communicates the following : "A word about the gnat revival in Fall River. Correspondents, I think: have understated' the interest which exists there - at present. Eight of the churches are reporting conversions everrday: There must have been over 500 persons hopefully converted. The interest has been represented as being chiefly vigorous in other denorninations than our own. It is just the. opposite. The Methodists have had large accessions, but none more so than some of the Baptist churches. We have received repots of about eighty Oritinety conversions in last week; the First Baptist about forty, and the Temple church about one lint:aired and 'fifty since. the work begun. In , the ~ l atter, thirty-five were baptised and received into' the fellowship' of the church last Sabbath, by Rev. B. A. Patterson. of Plymouth, whose labors there during the last six weeks have been singularly bleSeed in the reclaiming of backsliders and the conversion of sinners.. Parebts and children, husbands and wives, teachers and hcholars wont down into the liduid grave together, amid the prayers and tears of rejoioins sPfeta'tors: Although the day was unusually stormy old tedious; the large audience-room was crowded. There could not have been less than 1200 present. The pastor, brother Snow, who is absent as chaplain, will have a most grateful and cheering return. Brother Blain is conducting meetings at the First church, and many are added to the Lord. The Unitarians are now holding meetings, and lately seven young men stood up for prayer 1 The prospect is that the ma jority of the young people of that congregation will be.converted:, Many have been already. God will prosper that preaching which exalts Jesus." Rev. . A. Skinner, of ,Baston, Pa.,' •says, under date at March 9th : "I baptised twolast. Sabbath, and one hundred and foity-two have united with this *church since last July." Rev. E. a Dalin writes us front St. Joseph, Mo.: " For over eleven weeks we have met 'daily and- nightly as a church, to preach to and pray for sinners. God has blesstid our labors, and added to us one hundred and fifty nouls."-- 4 ----A•revival commenced in the Worthen street Baptist church in Lowell, with the ``week"of prayer," . and still continues unabated. More, than seventy:five converts are counted, inclu ding...several entire families. The Citronide of this. city says: "The goodwork in the Fourth Bap tist church, Philadelphia, continues, itev. Dr. 'ref fery baptised fourieen more ha Sabbath, making forty within the past two weeks. Others are await ing the ordinance,* and many inquiring."—A deeply interesting work, of grace is now in progress at.Pottsville. Thirty have already been baptized by the •pastor, Rev. R. H. Austin ; others are await ing the ordinance, andfa goodly number inquiring the way of life.— the Second. church, Oarn-_ den, the Chronicle says: "Seven Vandidates were baptized in the river 'Delaware, in the presence of hundreds of persons. • Though the cold wasintense all hearts seemed warm with the solemn and ani mating interest of the Ode:anion." Editor Episoopak—Ev/and.—At the annual election of the' officers' of the S.

COmmittee. The opposition to these resolutions were,: contemp tible both for weight and numbers ; and they passed with only two hands held:up in the negative. The skeptical •Bishop, however, 'may console himself for being turned out of the venerable S. P. G., hy . the fact that he has been elected an honorary member of the Athenteum Club Jowett case is beginning to Make quite a'noise in the world. The Vice Chancellor's Court seems to be the only CoUrt before which Mr. .3 - owed, can be brought, and it is a long time since any important case involving doe trine has been brought into question before that:tri bunal The case can be carried up on appeal, how ever, to the highest court on such questions, and therefore all complaint as to the. character of the court of first instance is idle. Mr. Maurice has at tacked .Dr. Puny in the London Times, :and . Dr. Pusey has replied, a rejoinder and further answer following, and a letter being drawn out from Dr. Newman relative to the fanieus ,"Tract ,No. 90," besides letters from Deafi Close and ethers. All this has • awakened the keenest public . interest. The case has been heard before the Assessor in the Vice Chancellor's Court, -and the ; next mail will bring us his decision as to whether he has juris diction or net, which was , the first point made. Mr. Jewett intends to contest every point, however minute or technical.—Chu'rch.journa. fliscellaneens.---The Board of Managers of the Amer.:ea n 13ible Sociefy have made ,provision -for printing the Beyrout translation of the Arabic Scriptures, which has been for years in progress under the erninent scholarship of the late Rev. Dr. Eli Sutith and Rev. Dr. C. V. Van Dyck. The - `Whale of the' Nei* Testament is finished,' and :the Old Testament as far as the book of Proverbs. ' Editions of the finished portiong have already been printed, and are in growing circulation. There will be a great demand for this translation, which is" ac knowledged by thehrst living Arabic scholars to be the best extant. ' It will give the word of God to one hundred millions of people who , speak the Arabic'language t it is found that' vast numbers of people in Central Africa are able to read in Ara bk.—independent Polygamy.— The report of Brigham Young's arrest in his own dominions, on the charge ofhigam3s sounds like the beginning ofthe end. To the'disgrace , of our race' and our country, "vie have harbored a nest of horrid ',raj gates from all lands,who . under the flimsy guise of a new religion, have made for themselye.s a city of abominations compaxed ;with which Sodom was righteous. Baffling, the laws and strengthening themselves behind their ,own fortificatiens, they " have defied the authority of government, until they have grown to be a fearful power in the land. , , We are encouraged to hope that the time is 'at hind when the Mormons will be scattered, and destroyed as a sect, and the vice around which they have been gathered, will be driven into the wilds of theathen ism, or to the dominions of the Sultan." And so rapidly is the progress of population gaining upon the Mormons, we may be reaseriably•sure, that in ,a!few years more, they will be, compelled. to seek another refuge, unless they abolish their 'harems, and"become conformed to'the decencies of a Chris tian land.—N. Y. Observer.--Thi Ministers of various denominations .residing in , Cincinnati, he ing had the theological and religious library un der consideration for several months, and being ful ly satisfied that such a library is very desirable and greatly needed, resolved to lay the subject before the public. After Much cosultation a Constitution was drafted fora ThelogicalUnd Religious library Association on an undenominational basis, and a ' public meeting called to ascertain what favor the project would meet with among the people of this city. The Constitution provides that by the pay ment of twenty dollars any person may become a life member of said Association, and entitled to the free use of the library ;'also, that by the payment of the same sum any person may procure - for the minister who may serve it the free use of the libra ry for fifteen years; also, that by the payment of two dollars annually, persons not subscribing twenty dollars shall be allowed the use of the library. The Censtitution also provides that after the , sum of four thousand dollars shall have been subscribed as a basis, the life members shall hold a meeting for. the purpose, and: eh'oose Trustees or Directors, and put the enterprise in motion. Much solicitude was felt, to know how the Public would receive the proposition to establish such an institution. Tens day evening, February 24th, was the time fixed u pon for submitting the Constitution for signatures. A similar plan was pursued in Boston for the pur pose of establishing such a library in that city, and two years were required to raise the $4,000 as a ba sis. But, to the surprise and joy of all present .at the meeting on the 24th of February more than, the $4,000 was subscribed on the first night, with abundant assurances that . the sum would be in creaged very largely. , Indeed,, one benevolent and wealthy gentleman-pledged-$5O O per year for the term of five, years.—lfon.

Great Activity, has been apparent in, the move . meats, Of both the =National and, rebel, forces during, lastweek. An attack was made upon. Port Hud son, by Admiral , Farragut, March 14th, After seVeralh.ours bombardment, an attempt - was made to pass the batteries, in which one gun-boat, the . , succeeded. The U. S. ship Mississippi was burned. The rebels claim a victory. No, land forces.co-operated.' On the same day the Yazoo Pass fleet had pene trated to within three miles of the junction of the Yallabusha • and Tallahatchie rivers, which is the head of the Yazoo river, one hundred and fifty miles above Yazoo city. On the previous day, the Cl~ilicothe . gun-boat engaged a rebel' fortifeation --Fort Pemberton—at that point, giving and recei ving considerable damage. Besides this battery, the rebels are said to be strongly fortified at Yazoo City . a nd-Msnehester. - . The rebels say that. our Yazoo Pass - expedition - comprisealwoformidable gun-boats, the 'Chilicothe and De Kalb, two rams, with cotton defences, three gun-boats, not, deemed formidable, three batteries, three hundred Cavalry, and ten thousand men. -- The gun-boat Chilicothe bOmbardedFort Pember ton, on. the 14th and 15th, but withoutany deciSive result. The.rebel battery is so situated theta can not,be'attacked by , a land force on account of the high state of the water.. The guns of the Be lialb had been taken ashore and a land battery.construe ted -near the' rebel -works. The rebel force was estimated at 6000, under General liming. Rein forcements were being rapidly sent 'to the scene of operations, and it was expected that the' fleet would be able to reduce all the rebel fortifications on the Yazoo. • , On the, 14th, the ,rebel General Hill. attacked Newbern, :N C. . Our outposts retired and burned the bridge behind' them. On the same day, say the Richmond Papers, a Monitor arrived at Charles ton harbor and took her place with the. blockading fleet. .Sundry Southern dispatches speak of two , British steamers arriving at " Confederate ports "' omthe 15th_and 16th, while the steamers Ruby and - Gira f fe had passed safely out and reached Nassau' in time to send word back by these incoming ves sels. • The squadron off Mobile report that the rebels tried to attack our fleet with five steamers recently. One struck a snag, and the attempt was abandoned. It was soon to be renewed. An attempt to blow up. the Susquehannah also failed. On the 15th, General Averill made a brilliant and highly successful cavalry movement towards" Cul pepper, .Va. They gallantly crossed the Rappa hannock at Kelly's 1?ord; in the face of the enemy,. of ivhoin they captured 25. They then fell in with a brigade of,the rebel cavalry, whom - they routed in a fair conflict, by artillery and cavalry charges. A second fight took place, with artillery on both sides, when the rebels were again completely repulsed, as they themselveS acknowledge. Their loss is said to be 100 in killed. We took. 50 to 75 prisoners, in cluding. Major Breckinridge, relative of rebel John Our loss is less than 40. The enemy's position on the Blackwater, Va., was attacked by our forces "moving from Suffolk, March 17th The position was very strong and well defended. Two of our charges were unsuccessful. Gold was quoted at $4 to $4.25 in Richmond March 17th. Bank notes 95 Per cent premium as compared with the rebel currency. African Soldiers.—Some rumors of disaster to Colonel Higginsonis brigade of colored soldiers, which were afloat in the early part of last week, are happily set= to rest by the following very-different piece of information: ".A. letter from• Hilton dated the 25th inst., says that the latest intelligence from the Black Brigade, Which is now marching into Florida, is that they have taken manyimpor tant points, and many prisoners captured,with large quantities of ammunition and supplies. They are still driving the rebels before them." In this. city, according to the Press, a colored brigade is forming in which about 2000 had enlisted up to last Friday. Four regiments, it is thought, will be raised in the city.- The first will be commanded byColonel Frish muth.,, the second by, Camel Angeroth, the third by Colonel Logan, formerly chaplain of the'Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and the fourth by Colonel Vanslaven.. • ' The Port Royal New South, of the I.4th says -"that Jacksonville t .Florida, was taken by a colored bri gade on the 10th instant: The negroes behaved with propriety, and none of them were injured. On the 11th instant, Colonel Montgomery, with two hundred men, had a sharp skirmish three miles from town, with two hundred rebels. Tennessee.—A fight between eight to ten 'bun, dred rebel cavalry and a brigade of infantry Of (den. Rosicrans' army, took place, on the road front Mil ton to Liberty, Tennessee, March 20th. Our forces were commanded by Colonel Hall, of the 105th Ohio regiment, who, finding that he was being attacked by superior numbers, fell back to a com manding position, and 'sent a courier to -Murfrees boro' for reinforcements, promising to hold his ground until they should arrive. _. A part of- the rebel Cavalry dismounted, and attacked our forces with impetuosity, but they were repulsed at every point. • A section of the first (Har ris') battery kept up the most elfective fire. The enemy massed three regiments and charged on the battery with hideous yells. The 101st indiana regi ment, who were lying concealed behind the battery, waited till the rebels were within thirty yards,vflien they opened a destructive fire upon them, causing them to recoil, and finally to retreat in confusion from the field, leaving their dead and wounded. Colonel Hall's victory was eomPlete before the rein forcements arrived. Among, the rebels killed were one colonel, one captain, and three lieutenants. They lost.over 180 killed, wounded; and prisoners. Our loss was seventeen killed, and thirty-one woun ded. The battle lasted for•about four hours. .

What a tale of exhaustion, disorder and ruin does this brief an nouncement; in the terse language of the Stock board, tell l On the other hand, Mr. Chase's arrangements under recent, legislation are so corn— plete, that our finances are working into abetter condition daily. In answer to a diabolical slander of the New York _Herald, that Mr:' Chase had in vented the story of the success in Yazoo river,which now turns out to be untrue, the Press of Saturday says : `,`A.t the office of Mr. Jay, Cooke, the agent for the National loan, the sales.of the 'five twenty' six per cent. Government loan - reached $700,000 yesterday. • This was subscribed in the face of de pressing news from Port Hudson, and with none of Mr. Chase's inventions to buoy up and strengthen the market." It is . also asserted that an offer was Made 'on the 20th, upon the most 'favorable termo, by a distinguished German banking house, to take one hundred millions of dollirs' worth of bonds, at something above par in currency. Au English house, doing an extensive business in this country, has just given evidence of its confidence in the cha racter of our.

The. AssemblY says the war is Unnecessary, and fratght, with horror and suffering, and dangerous to' tile lib erties- of the people,: - The only remedy it line to offer in the way of peace is, for the National .Go;/- ernment to appoint cominissioners, to . meet those similarly appointed by the insurgent States, to "consider what plan may be adopted consistent with the honor and dignity of the National Govern ment, by which the present war may be brought to a. close."

Freedom of Speech There is nothing that the General Government is'denounced for mere than its so-called interference with the freedom .of speech. To read some of the tirades against the Government at some of the meetings new being held, it would seem that there'is not may Treedoin .af speech but the most unbridled license. We do not' know that the coarse abuse which is heaped upon the Govern ment does it any injury, but the charge of suppress sing the freedom of speech ought to be omitted in the accusations against it, when the speakers them-. selves give the most conclusive evidence in their. own ' speeches that there is no truth in the charge. —Ledger.
