He adds : " Thii man, Kr. John Berger, i§ young,
and with a young family growing up about him. 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 Rev, Dr , , Irebe of the Rutgers street

large meeting *as held in John street chinch,
March 16th, t coiliider the question of alay repre

Moses T. Odell, :end John W. ITirpv.., EX.-Gov:
Wright of' •Incliane; Bishop Si'mPson . ; Di. Durbin,;;
and Colonel Crunimings were present, and made

had he not been necessarily out of the city at the
time. 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. P. .G., resolutions were pro
posed, drawn up by the standing cemmittei, omit
ting the name of Bishop' Coleus°, from the list of
Vice- Presidents of thuSocietY, anti adding that he
is 41 stay omitted until he satisfies the Archbishop
of Canterbury of his.orthodoxy ; and alSo, that the
funds appropriated fotthe Dioceee of Natal be en
trusted, not, to the Bishop, but to a, . 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

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. .
The National Finances appear'to be in a health-'
ful condition. Goldislept down to about 53 pre--

than four to six dollars in currency. 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. Government securities, Instead of
remitting at. the current rate of exchange, the New

Freedom of Speech There is nothing that the

the most unbridled license. We do not' know that
