Rerivals,—The Presbyterian church in Scranton;
Pennsylvania, is now enjoying a very precious re
vival of religion, and the Presbyterian Banner, gives
an account of a revival in the Hopewell church,
Beaver Presbytery. Thirty-three persons were ad
ded to the church at Olney, Illinois, by profession of
faith, on the Bth of February, and others are ex
pected to join. It also states that the Presbyterian
church in Washington, Pennsylvania, has been vi
sited with a pleasant revival, in which the college
and female seminary have shared to some degree.
Nineteen have already been added to the church,
and is hopedihat others will follow.
Growing Ohnroh.—The Princeton Presbyterian
Church, West Philadelphia, now under the pastoral
charge of the nev..J.,K. Henry, received Sabbath
before last an accession of fourteen persons, seven
by examination, and seven by certificate. Two of
the persons admitted by profession were from Dr.
MoOluskey's Female Seminary, and from this
school the session of the church,, at one time last
year, received eleven persons into the communion of
the Church. —Presbyterian. .
Revival in Kiddie Church Illionie.—A cor
respondent of the Presbyterian says: It was the
privilege of the writer to be present at the celebra
tion of the Lord's Supper in that Church, on the
15th of March, and witness the trophies of rpdeeming
love gathered during the, late revival. It was a most
precious seasOn, and one long to be remembered.
The membership of this little church was nearly
doubled by the addition of fifty-three persons.
Seven of these were received by letter, and forty
six by profession of faith, eight of whom received
the ordinance of baptism.
Mr. ChirdqUy i says the Presbyterian Banner is
no longer conneetedwith the Presbyterian Church';"'
and but a few of his colonists hold on to the faith.
The prayers, however, which were offered for that
people, were not all unanswered : neither were the
benefactions all lost. Five evangelical churches
have been formed-and still live. Of these, three
are at St. Anne and two at Kankakee. At St.
Anne, the Presbyterians have 63 communicating
members, the Episcopalians 50, and the Baptists
40. 4t Kankakee, the Presbyterians have 25, and
the Episcopalians a few. Here is fruit .which calls
for gred thankfulness.
The church at St. Anne is served by Rev. Mr.
Monod, son of Rev. Dr. Monod, of Paris. Many
of our readers will remember Dr. Monod's visit to
our country a few years ago : and some of =Pitts
burgers will remember his son, who studied theolo
gy at our Seminary, and who has since labored
faithfully at St. Anne.
It seems, however, that Mr. round is not to
be permitted long to continue hid labors among
these converts. His father has been painfully
afflicted in the loss of' his voice, and sends
for his eon to return to Paris, and aid him in his,
pastoral charge ; and the departure of the yonng
man is delayed for a little .time while efforts are
made to obtain a minister to occupy his place. This
will be no easy _task. French;speaking Presbyterian
ministers are but few in number; and no one would
be likely, for years, even though he had Mr. Mo
nod's ability, to gain what be now possesses, of the
affections of the people.
The 11 . P. Presbytery of Philadelphia has adop
ted an overture praying the General Assembly to take
into its serious consideration the subject of early
furnishing the church with a new version of the book
of Psalms in metre.
Methodist.-2 he decline and proba4le extinction
of the M. E, Church, South, in California. A
San Pranolsoo correspondent of the Christian. In
structor gives the following as the present condition
of the beautiful church edifice that the members
had erected in that city : " A few weeks since their
church was sold or rented. Passing by last week
I noticed that its handsome little steeple had• been
taken down. A partition divided - the church into
two rooms, one of which was a. carpenter-shop and
the other a whisky-shoP."
Oongregational.—The Recorder learns that a
precious revival of God's work is in progress in
Truro. It commenced some three weeks ago, and
the converts are numbered by scores, and among
the number four heads of families and their wives.
Many seamen are included, and the work is still
progressing, and spreading in the adjoining town
of Eastham. All of the Societies are the recipients
of the grace.—Rev. P. C. Headley has gone to
New York to take charge of the agency of the Bos
ton American Tract Society in that city, until Rev.
Mr. Alvord's return from the army.
Baptist.— Retrivfas su Philadeiphia and vicinity.
The Chronicle of last week says The month of
April finds our churches in the midst of a most
gracious and extensive work of . the Holy Spirit,
such as hag seldom been enjoyed in this great city.
Not less than fifteen, perhaps more, of the Baptist
churelfes here are sharing in it, while just across
the Delaware, in and around Camden, are six or
seven more.—jacksentrille, Ill,—Rev.; G. W.
Pratt writes to the Vines: •" We have enjoyed a
blessed revival in the Baptist ohuoh here, as well
as in the other churches. We commenced holding
meetings Feb. let. Rev. J. NI. Wells, of Man
chester, assisted me in preaching, from the. Bth of
that month to the Bth of march, inclusive., At
the present time about sixty have been hopefully
regenerated. The Lord is yet here, and almost
daily new cases of hope appear," ----Rev. W. C. E.
nompstead, late pastor at Rutland and Panola,
entered the military service some- time since as a
private in the 104th Regiment, jll lllOlB, being soon
after promoted to an orderly sergeancy, Recently,
by the unanimous desire of the. regiment, he has
been called to the post of chaplain, made vacant by
the resignation of the former incumbent. This is
a promotion well deserved and, we have no doubt
will prove to be for the great advantage of the re
giment.—The South Baptist church of Williams
buigh, Rev. B. W. Bliss, pastor, now numbers
248 members, an increase of 206 since their estab
lishment four years ago. A revival has been in
progress lately, and thirty-two have been added to
the church since November last, mostly from the
Sunday school.

Episcopal.—The Rev. Dr. J. P. B. Wilmer.—
We learn from the Church Journal that the Rev.
Dr. Wilmer, who was arrested some time since for
coming within the Union lines without a pass, and
has since been in custody at the house of the super
intendent of the Old Capitol Prison, is about to be
sent back to Richmond by the first opportunity.
We also learn that lie is to be allowed to take with
him as many Bibles and Prayer books as he can ob
tain, and• that Secretary Stanton has contributed
one hundred copies of each for the purpose.—
Easter Serviees.—From' all quarters says the
" Christian Times," we hear as favorable, accounts
of Easter services as of those which preceded in
the Lenten season. Many Rectors were not only
agreeably surprised, but much encouraged by the
large attendance of their congregations during Pas
sion Week, the number in :some instances being
scarcely less than on Sundays. Easter Day was a
cold, wet day without, quite unlike our usual re
collections and
,4 anticipations of the Queen of Festi
vals ; but we are happy to learn that in this and
other 'cities, the services of the day were celebrated
with much fervor, and that the number of those
who communed has seldom been, exceeded. We
are sure that the influence of the season, will long
be felt for good in most of our parishes.
Army and Navy.—Death of a young Solclier.—
It is with very, great sorrow that we read the
announcement in another column ' of the death
in the army of a son of the Rev. Dr. J. P.
THOMPSON, pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle
Church in this city. The first-born of his father's
house, who, as he grew up, had been marked by
all as a fine,
manly youth, he was the pride and
joy of the family circle. He was a student in
Yale College, when the dangers of the country,
a few months since, appealed to his warm young
heart, and he left his studies to enlist in one of
the new regiments that were moving forward to
the seat of war. He has now fallen a victim to•
the patriotic zeal which consumed him. Such
lives are a precious sacrifice on the altar of their
country. In this sad bereavement, Dr. Thomp
son will have the affectionate sympathy, not only
of his own large congregation, but of a wide cir
cle of friends here and elsewhere, who will feel
the blow which thus strikes a distinguish
ed minister of the Gospel.—Evangelist.
emperance in the Army. From the Journal
of the American Temperance Union for April,
we learn that . the supply of the Army with
Temperance Tracts, chiefly through the contribu
tions of the Sabbath schools, has gone on success
fully. About fifty schools have sent in their con
tributions for the month of March, making 550 in
the whole; each contribution securing a,thousand
tracts to a regiment, and some supplying two and
evermore. In some portions of the Army there
is much intemperance, and more among the officers
than the soldiers; in others, very little. The per
mission extended to the officers to have private
stores of liquor, while the soldiers are forbidden,
operates very badly upon both classes ; producing
indulgences in the one, and fretfulness, and mur
muring, and drunkenness, when possible, in the
other* In the good moral status of the soldier,
when he shall return to private life, as well as in
his sobriety in the camp and the field, all' must
feel a deep interest, and it is hoped that the Com
mittee will be encouraged to go on in their work.
These tracts, about twenty in number, are specially
prepared for the soldier. Three new ones have been
recently issued. Contributions from individuals
and from Sabbath schools are earnestly solicited,
and will be gratefully received at No. 5 Park Bank

Miscellaneous.---ThePhiladelphia North Ameri
can says " John J. Henry, the newly-appoint
ed Commissioner and Consul-General from the
United States to the republic of Liberia, is a
conveyancer and farmer, residing near Delaware
City, Delaware. He is represented as a popular
and intelligent man, of about forty years of age,
justly alive to the promotion of American inter
ests in Western Africa, and to the beneficent en
terprise which has founded and built an English
speakinc , b nation on that continent, to be the cho
sen anti happy home, first, of restored exiles, and
then ofChristianized natives. Though very tardy
to acknowledge its independence, our Government
is the first to commission a diplomatic represen
tative to Liberia."
(Jo totiz /two,
Tennessee.—Our forces are vigorously operat
ing upon detached bodies of rebels in the vicinity
of Nashville and Murfreesboro. The force under
Colonel Wilder returned on the Bth-to Murfrees
boro, from an expedition towards Lebanon and Car
thage. Twenty-nine rebels were captured before
reaching Snow Hill. Five thousand bushels of
wheat and much corn were destroyed. A large
barn with a great quantity of bacon was burned.
Wharton's rebel regiment bad re-occupied Snow
Hill. Wilder came up behind, and after a briefskirm
,
ish, defeated them, o captured eighty prisoners, and
ono hundred horses, destroyed five thousand bush
els Of wheat, and brought away one hundred and
sixty negroes, and two wagon loads of tobacco.
Wilder captured several rebels in. United States
uniforms, who were summarily shot. Clarksville,
Tenn., April B.—A force of twelve hundred rebels,
ander Woodward, with two pieces of artillery, cap
tured and burned the steamers Lovell and Saxonia
to-day, killing the captain of the. Lovell, and shoot
ing off the captain of the Saxonia. The passengers
and crew of the boats arived here to-day.
April 9.--=An expedition sent by. Colonel Bruce,
last night, under Colonel Boone, surprised the re
bel force under Woodward, recaptured the stores
stolen from the steamers Level and Saxonia, and
took several prisoners, after severe skirmishing,
this morning. Colonel Boone pursued the re
treating rebels fifteen miles. Our fleet of tram
ports, convoyed by three gun boats arrived here
to-night.
Gen. Van Dorn's whole force attacked , Gen.
Granger, April 30, at Franklin. After a severe
fight, which lasted two hours, the rebels retreated,
leaving their dead on the field. The casualties on
either side have not yet been ascertained.
A special despatch to the Commercial, from
Murfreesboro, states that Van Dorn attacked
Genoral Granger at Franklin, on the 10th, with
15,000 men. - The battle lasted almost all day,
and xesulted in the enemy being repulsed with
the loss of 300. Our loss was about 100. Gen.
Stanley's cavalry, led by him in person, I charged
upon and captured a battery, with 200 prisoners,
but being unsupported, was compelled to relin
quish the battery and all but twenty of the pri
soners. The enemy was pursued ,until dark.
Charleston.—Among the preparations for the
attak upon this city was the withdrawal of the
negro brigade from Jacksonville, Fla. and tke des
truction of the town by our forces. The Union re
sidents were also carried away. The actual initea
tion of active movements against Charleston took
place , on the 6th when, according to Richmond pa
pers of the 7th, -8 iron dads were off the bar. The.
Sentinel says :—The brief but significant telegrams,
which were received early in the day, and are pub
..
Alittrican gittoiltttriall and 6tureore (6trattgrliot
lished elsewhere, tell of their work. The long-ex
pected collision has Probably.come off ere this. The
storm so long prepared for Charleston has burst at
last. We shall publish the results as we learn them.
The Richmond Whig of the Bth says: "All
thoughts are now centred upon Charleston. Official
intelligence was made public early yesterday morn
ing that the enemy's iron-clad fleet had attempted
to cross the bar and failed, but later in the day it
was announced that the gunboats and transports
had succeeded in crossing the bar, and were at an
chor. Our iron-clads lay between the forts, quietly
awaiting the attack. Further intelligence is look
ed for with eager anxiety. The Yankees have made
no secret of their vast preparations for an attack
upon Charleston, and we well anticipate a desperate
conflict." Charleston, Aprill —The attack has com
menced. Four iron -clads, out of seven in the Yankee
fleet, are engaged. Heavy firing took place from the
fleet and from Forts Sumpter, Moultrie, and Morris
Island. The Ironsides was hit and run ashore,
but got off, and was carried out of range. 4t 2.09
the monitors and Ironsides opened fire at a distance
of 3.000 yards. At 230 the firing was incessant on
both sides till 5 o'clock, when it gradually diminish
ed. The fire was concentrated on Fort Sumpter.
The ironsides and Keokuk withdrew at 4 o'clock,
apparently disabled. Intense excitement prevails
in the city. Our Monitors have gone out to take
part. Our casualties are one boy killed and
five men badly wounded in Sumpter. The
other batteries have not been heard from. April
8, 1.30 P, M.—Seven turreted iron-clads and the
Ironsides are within the bar, and twenty-two block
ading vessels off the bar. 6P. M.—The Federal
fleet has withdrawn to its moorings for the night.
The Keokuk is sunk on the beach off Morris Is
land. There is no disposition apparent to renew
the conflict.
Our own advices, received by steamer Flambeau
in Washington April _l2th are as follows : The ves
sels composing the fleet advanced upon Charleston
on the 7th in the following order : The Weehaw
ken; Capt. John Rodgers ; Passaic, Capt. Drayton
the Montauk, Capt, Worden, the Patapsco, Capt.
Ammen; the Ironsides—the flagship—Commander
Turner, with Admiral Dupont and his staff on
board. Next followed the Catskill, Capt. George
Rodgers; Nantucket Capt. Fairfax; Nahant, Capt.
Downs ; Keokuk, Capt. Rhind. In this order
they proceeded up the main channel, arriving with
in 1,700 yards of the main forts. the Ironsides
became unmanageable, owing to the tide and the
narrowness of the channel, and she was therefore,
obliged to drop anchor to prevent drifting , ashole.
Owing to these circumstances, she, signalled her
consorts to disregard her motions.
The remainder of the squadron continued on its
course, and soon came within the range of the re
bel fire from all points. The obstructions in the
channel from Sumpter to Fort Moultrie interfered
with the progress of our ships. In consequence of
this and the position of the Ironsides as above stat
ed, the plan of operations for the battle was derang
ed, and the space for manoeuvring being only from
500 to 1,000 yards, the vessels were obliged to pre
pare and at once engage the forts and the adjacent
batteries. The signal had been made for action at
half past three o'clock in the afternoon by the Iron
sides, but the rebels previously opened fire upon
the leading vessels. The contest is represented as
in the highest degree exciting, presenting a fearful
scene of fire belching from all points on the water
and the land, a continuous roar of cannon.
In the course of thirty minutes the Keokuk was
in a sinking condition, and was obliged to withdraw
from the fire, and seek an anchorage below the
range of the enemy's fire. A few minutes after
ward all the vessels withdrew, on a'signal from the
flag-ship it being. deemed impracticable to continue
further hostilities. The Keokuk was within five
hundred or six hundred yards of Sumptei, and was
completely riddled, being struck from all the bat-,
tortes within 'range at least ninety times in thirty
minutes. The shot was from rifled cannon of the
heaviest calibre. Captain Rhind, her commander,
received a contusion on the leg, from a flying frag
ment of his vessel, which only slightly lamed him.
Twelve of the men were wounded, together with
Acting Ensign Mackintosh, who had charge of one
of the guns. The injuries are supposed to be fatal.
The next morning, finding it impossible to save the
vessel, 'Captain Rhind called a tug, which took all
his men on board. A few minutes thereafter the
Keokuk sunk. The persons belonging to the ship
lost all their personal effects.
On Wednesday, the squadron remained at anchor
irk the main ship channel. It is said the men in our
fleet only numbered about 1,000, with 30 guns,
while the enemy, it is supposed, had at least 300
guns, the best in the world. The injury to the ves
sels, excluding the Keokuk, are represented to be
of such a character as will require hut a short time
for, repair. The casualities among our men were
remarkably few, including one killed, and three
wounded, on the Naliant.
The advantages of our fleet being in possession of
the main channel narrows the circuit of the block
ade two-thirdsuf the former distance. None of the
batteries fired upon our vessels until the latter
reached the vicinity of the main forts.
The Keokuk was not an Ericsson Monitor. No
damage was received by the Iroosides except one
port shutter injured. It is believed that the dam
age done to Fort Sumpter by our fire was serious.
So far as it showed externally, it consisted of two
embrasures being knocked into one, and numerona
indentations in the wall, which it is believed a few
hours more would have converted into a serious
breach.
The affair might be summed up thus : We have
entered Charleston harbor, made a successful re
connoisance, engaged the rebel forts for three hours,
damaged Sumpter seriously, lost one vessel, and
have bad a crowning proof of the invulnerability of
the Monitor fleet. Washington April 11.—The
news from Charleston is regarded by the authori
ties here as favorrable. The real forces of Admiral
Dupont are not revealed by the attack of the first
day, which was intended as a feeler.
Rebel States.—There are serious troubles ari
sing from high prices in Richmond. At the out
of the war, the Southern papers freely pre
dicted bread-riots and utter anarchy in the Northern
cities. Their worst auguries are becoming true of
themselves. A released Union prisoner from Rich
mond, Col. Stewart of the 2d Indiana, says that
on Thurkday April 2d he saw from his prison win
dow, in Richmond, a bread riot, composed of about
three thousand women, who had clubs, guns, and"
stones. They broke open the Government and
private stores, and took bread, clothing, and what
ever else they wanted. The militia were ordered
out to check the riot, but failed to do so until Jeff
Davis and other high officials made speeches and
promised the rioters that they should have what
they wanted. All the other Union officers confirm
this statement. The Richmond papers since re
ceived, contain meagre yet sufficient reference to
the occurrence, to prove Col. Stewart's statement
true. The Sentinel, editorially, refers in ambigu
ous terms to a riot which took place in Richmond
on last Thursday, which was of such magnitude as
to cause the affair to be suppressed from publica
tion. From the article referred to it appears that
the city was for a time at thb control of a lawless
mob of men and women, for the ostensible purpose
of saving themselves from starvation by breaking
into stores, bakeries, &c. The movement was
headed by a female who, the Sentinel says, was
above want, and the whole affair was simply to rob
and plunder under the excuse of a scarcity, of food.
Millinery, dry goods,. and fancy stores suffered as
much as those containing the necessaries of life.
The movement appeared to have resulted from the
high prices of goods genqally.
The following list of starvation prices quoted
from Richmond papers, furnishes full explanation
of the outbreak : Richmond, April 6.—Apples are
quoted at $5O per barrel; Butter is in demand at
$3 per pound ; Bacon (round) $1.40 ; Hams 45
cents ; Brandy $22®24 per gallon. Corn scarce at
$7.50 per bushel. The meal Market is bare at
sB®lo per bushel; Candles $2:60g3 per s pound ;
Coffee $4@4.50 per pound; Blur $31®36 per
barrel, according to the grade ;. Sole Leather $3.50
®,3.75 per pound ; Upper Leather $5®5.50 ; Sugar
$1.20®1.30 ; Whisky $22. ®304 per gallon ; Gold
and Sterling Exchange 350®400 per cent, premi
um, with little doing.
The Siege of Vicksburg makes no perceptible
progress. The enemy have strengthened Fort Pem
berton at the head of the Yazoo River and have
built defensive works below. Later advices to Cin
cinnati April 9, say that a new canal has been com
menced, leading into Walnut Bayou, which comes
near the river on the Louisiana side at Milliken's
Bend, and runs into the river at New: Carthage,
fifteen miles from Warrenton. The canal commences
a mile above a point opposite the mouth of the
Yazoo. The Bayou is two miles ,distant. Advices

says •the ship moved up with all , r• ports closed,

last a shot struck one of her p rt shutters and
broke it,off right at the bolt. It as a bad piece
of crystallized iron. This caused a ttle excitement,
but in, a moment all was still on bo rd. When the
ship got directly between Sumpte and Moultrie,
seven guns were fired from the Ne Ironsides, and,
then the broadsides opened on herftom both forts.
But they did no harm, except that one ball went
through the smoke-pipe.

The New Ironsideq has about. fifty shot marks
on her sides, the deepest being two and a quarter
inches; it was done by a steel-pointed rifle shot.
There are several dents m deep as a common

writer, is that the ship can lie Offl6oo yards, and
batter down their forts. He also\ says the oni
tors were in their way. All on beard have great

Riots in Lantasitire.--At the last monthly
meeting of the Stsleybridge Relief Committee,
they decided to pay all attending the various
schools, excepting the girls who sew, by tickets
on shopkeepers instead of in money. The reasons
adduced in favor of the proposed altertion,were,
that a considerable amount of money given as
relief was spent in drink.

I sent to you some time ago and got a bottle of Soothing Sy—
rup ; but I did not send money enough, as the postage was ;thirty
cents, and I only sent Twenty-five cents. But I have enclosed ono
dollar to pay the rest and.get another bottle. If it would not weary
your time I would like to say a word in regard to the Syrup. Yon
thought it would be the means of introducing it in this section of
country; so it has. I let one of my neighbors have some of it, and
they thought it exceeded anything they ever saw. I would recom
mend it to all parents that have small CHILDREN TESTING, or even
before, to have It in the house, if they had to pay one or even two
dollars per bottle for ht. Rather thin see a child suffer as our child

would rather give ono dollar for a teaspoonful.;
If it will not trouble yon too mush, will you tell me what It eau

DIED; in West Chester, Pa., on the 11th of February, 1863, Mrs.
ELAZABETH, wife of Mr. JANES ATWOOD, aged 73 years.
She embraced religion at a very early age, and became a member
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in her sixteenth year. Here
.was therefore a life of piety, industry, and careful devotion, all
through. No breaks or backslidings, disfigure the beautiful picture.
For the long period of fifty-seven years she went in and out with the
people of God, faithfully serving Him. And the Master whom she
tried to honor, greatly honored and blessed ber, as is usual in such
cases. The writer was intimately, acquainted with the family, for
the last thirty years, part of the time her pastor and class leader,
and therefore speaks from personal knowledge. She was f &MI in
all the relations of life, as wife, mother, and friend of all, especially
the poor. A notice was published in the " Christian Advocate and
Journal," of New York, some months since, of the celebration of her
golden wedding, on the Bth of October last. She was thou feeble,
but enjoyed the occasion, as the last interview she would ever have
with her many friends. •
During her last illness, she suffered intensely, but bore it with ex
emplary patience. Willing to suffer on, or depart and be with
Christ; as the will of God should direct. Evidently•ripe for the hea
venly world; she patiently waited the Lord's time., Her departure
was sudden and somewhat unexpected, though long looked for, as
she had seemed much better than usual fora few days prior to her
death. In a moment, during the silent hours of the night, she passed
from the society of loved ones below, to join the company of the gle.
; 'with the name of Jesus - on her dying lips.
Her excellent companion lingers a few days longer amongthe liv
ing, mourning the loss of " the desire of his eyes," but firm in faith,
that hewill meet her again in the'house above.
