The Presbytery of Toledo, ten years ago re
ported 10 ministers, 17 churches, and an aggregate
tuerpbership of 491. The last report of the Assem
bly shows, on the same field and in connection with
our body, 8, ministers and 14 churches, with an
aggregate membership of 758. Toledo, for exam
ple, then reported 80, but now more than 230 mem
bers, besides greatly enlarging and repairing the
old church that soon after burnt down, and recently
finishing a splendid new one.—The statistical
reports of Trumbull Presbytery, and review of the
churches, prelented, on the whole, an increase in
numbers, and no falling off in Christian benevolence
and activity. A new Presbyterian church was or,
ganized by our Home Missionary Committee at
Mineral Ridge, consisting originally of.eleven mem
bers. It is under the care of Rev. Joseph H.
Scott, who had been laboring on the field some
months before. Since the organization they have
enjoyed a precious revival, and have had an addi
tion of about twenty members.
The Presbytery of Kansas met at Black Jack,
April 19th. Reports from the few scattering
churches of our infant State show that a glorious
work has been going on during the last sit months.
Four new churches were received under the care of
the Presbytery, with encouraging prospects that
several others will soon apply. A special meeting
will be held, on the 18th of June, at Council Grove,
for the purpose of ordaining Brother F. L. Nash,
pastor of the church at that place.
Rev. B. B. Eolmes was, recently installed pas
tor of the Second church, Dubuque. He had
received a commission from the Home Mission
Committee, on application from the church, but
such arrangements were afterwards made for
the support of the Gospel as enabled them to
return it.
Revivals.—A correspondent of the Evangelist,
writing from Ellicottsville, N. Y., May 1, says :
" There has been a delightful work of grace in pro
gress in the Presbyterian church in this village,
during the past few months. We observed the
Week of Prayer at the opening of the new year,
and the interest was so great that it was decided to
continue the daily prayer-meetings. Week after
week passed, and there seemed to be no place to
stop. In the latter part of February, Rev. S. G.
Orton (whose praise as an Evangelist is in all the
churches in this region) came and , preached every
evening, for about four weeks. The work received
a new and powerful impulse by his labors. Two or
three neighboring ministers also rendered valuable
assistance. The result is .between thirty and forty
conversions, mostly adults, the church greatly
quickened and encouraged, and several old backsli
ders reclaimed, a triumph of grace no less *render
ful than the new conversions. Fifteen united with
the church at the last communion, „nearly all the
first fruits' of this precious revival. Several
others will probably . unite with us at the next
opportunity. This church was formerly the most
flourishing Presbyterian church in Cattaraugus
county; but the constant drainage of , emigration
and the frequent inroads of death upon its members,
for a few years, with other causes, reduced it to a
very low condition. By the timely and generous
aid of the Home Missionary Committee, it is begin
ning to get out of the Slough of Despond, and we
trust that a long and prosperous future is before
it. The report in the same paper from the
Presbytery of Kalamazoo, Michigan, says : " The
congregation in Niles has been largely blessed. A
work of grace commenced there in December last,
and has been steadily progressing until the present
time. Many of those awakened and converted are
found in the Sabbath School, though others have
been brought it. There has been very little extra
preaching, but Christian fidelity , has been encour
aged in sustaining prayer-meetings, and in using
such means as are connected with the daily deport
ment and earnest life of Christians. In fact the
pastor was laid aside several weeks by sickness, and
yet the work went OD, and sixty have already united
with the church, with others yet to come."
The report from the Presbytery of Washtenau,
says: " The Annual Reports from our congrega
tions disclose the fact that during the year,there has
been added to the aggregate membership of our
churches nearly one hundred. All of the ohurches,
save one; have shared to some extent, in this bles
sing. And one Ann Arbor—has shared very
largely in it, adding to its number nearly fifty since
April, 1862, and mostly on profession of their
faith."
Lane Seminary has more than two liberal
friends "in its own country." In addition to the
donation of Messrs. R. W. Burnet and W. S.
Groesbeck, of SSOUO each, already mentioned, a
correspondent states that P. Hinkle and A. D. E.
Tweed have individually contributed alike amount,
and A. Hinkle $3OOO. These last named gentle
men are old friend*f the Seminary, and this is not
the first time they have liberally assisted it.
Ministers and Churches. —Rev. S. Ottman
has received and accepted a unanimous invitation to
the church at Edwardsburgh, Cass county, Mich.
--The church at Sand Lake, which has been with
out a pastor for the last year, has engaged the Rev.
C. T. McMullen, of Philadelphia, as stated supply
for the ensuing year.---The church at Ypsilanti,
nude vacant last October, by the resignation of
Rev. G.. L. Foster, have called the Rev. Dr. Hall,
of Oswego,N.Y., to become:their pastor.—At the
annual meeting of Monroe Presbytery, Rev. Mr.
Evans, Stated Supply of the c . hurches of Palmyra
and Blissfield, was duly ordained to the office of the
ministry.—The pastoral relation in which the
Rev. B. Franklin has served the church of Saline,
Michigan, for more than seven yeats, has been dis
solved.
Claphsin Church, Loudon.—lhe aurdyersab-
of the induction of the Rev. Dr. Macfarlane, form
erly of Glasgow, into the pastorate of Clapham
(U.P. ) church, was celebrated April 15th. H. E.
Ewing, M.P., a great grandson of Ebenezer Ers
kine, was in the chair. Peter Bayne, the well
known author and editor of the Weekly Review,
was among the speakers. The growth of the church
has been extraordinary. Dr. Macfarlane said : "He
entered the church with forty-six members; and at
the succeeding quarterly communions he had added
62, 42, 75, and 62 members, so that the church had
increased in the first year from 46 to 287 members,"
Mr. Ewing, said : " The U. P. Church now con
sists of about 500 congregations, with 170,000 corn-,
municants : and it is computed that 200,000 per
sons assemble, on an average, every Sabbath within
her churches, contributing upwards of £200,000
annually towards the maintenance of the Gospel."
Rev. Dr. Archer, of Oxeudon chapel, spoke of two
members of his congregation, who in order to keep
up their attendance, walked from St. Albans and
back, a total distance of forty-two miles, every Sun
day, leaving home soon after midnight. The Dr.
said be did not approve of their conduct, and ad
vised them to go to any Gospel minister within
reach rather than gratify a sectarian preference at
such expense. Air. Bayne said: "Londoners had
formed their ideas of Presbyterianism from seeing
a hand painted up at the corner of some out-of-the
way alley, pointing 'to the Scotch Church,' a lit
tle chapel in a corner, which they might have
described as ' a place to bury strangers in ;' but
Dr. Macfarlane had done something to correct these
ideas by representing with dignity a great historical
Church. ale had, also, shown himself singularly
able to enter into the wants of an English congrega
tion, in his genial mode of conducting worship,
dissipating the idea that there was something heavy
and gloomy in Presbyterian worship."

The Presbytery of London, at a meeting.held
April 14th, received application from Presbyterians
in the city of Worcester, for the establishment of a
Presbyterian church in that city. The Presbytery
received the proposals most cordially, and resolved
to communicate with the Presbytery of Birmingham
within whose bounds Worcester more properly lies.
It is plain, says the Weekly Review, that there
are few towns in England, in which such movements
would not carry with them much support, not only
at the hands of resident Scotchmen, but of English
men, who long for the order, and= steadiness, the
authority and the liberty combined, which Presby
prim church government so remarkably exempli
fies, in connection with the sound doctrine taught
by her ministers, and the Scriptural discipline
which drives error and heresy away from her pul
pits.
Br. Begg, of the Free Presbytery of Edinburg,
is a stirring man. At the last meeting of the Pres
bytery he introduced an overture to the General
Assembly, as follows : " That the General Assem
bly shall adopt some effectual plan for the introduc
tion into any of our congregations of unauthorized
innovations in 'the public worship of God." He
supported the overture in along and earnest speech,
in which he enumerated some of the innovations as,
female preaching, which had become pretty com
mon in some parts, evening sermons in country pa
rishes, dismissing the congregation between the
" action " sermon and the sacrament, and sitting in
prayer. The overture was adopted, 28 to 7.
Revision of the Authorized. Version. -- Fears
of innovation are assuredly wearing off, from the
minds of our Scottish Presbyterian brethren. The
Presbytery of Selkirk (Free Church), at its last
meeting, after discussion, unanimously adopted an
overture to the General Assembly, on the above
subject, recognizing the, demand for.a revision, .and
the probability that - sooner or later it must take
place, and praying the General Assembly to consi
der the propriety of this church interesting itself in
this matter, and seeking to deal with this important
question as their wisdom may direct.
Princeton Seminary graduated 38 and the
Western (Alleghany City) 25 students, at recent
commencements.
The Rev. W. T. Hamiton, D.D., for many
years a prominent Presbyterian clergyman in Ala
bama, was deposed from the ministry and suspend
ed from church membership by the Presbytery of
South Alabama, in 1854. He was subsequently
restored to Church membership by the same Pres
bytery, and last winter the Presbytery of this State,
baying " abundant evidence of the reality and sin
cerity of his penitence, and of his Christian life and
conduct for many years, and the very strong demon
stration of feeling in his behalf among the people
where be has dwelt," have restored him to the
ministry.
The Second Presbyterian Church, of Nash
ville,lrennessee, have resolved to leaVe their Pres
bytery and the Southern Assembly, and apply to
our General Assembly to take it under our care.
The Assembly will no doubt adopt a plan, by which
churches of the rebel Presbyteries may be receiv

Revival at Healdsburg, California. —A cor
respondent of the Presbyter, says: "I am sure you
will rejoice with me when I inform you that the
Lord has visited this place with a refreshing shower
of grace. He has poured out his spirit powerfully,
and revived his work gloriously. On the first Sab
bath of this month at the regular morning service
in the Presbyterian church, Brother Ely discovered
great Ffolemnity in the congregation ; and in the
evening there was such an increase of feeling, that
he invited any who might desire an interest in the
prayers of the church, to manifest that desire by
coming forward and taking a seat in front of the
pulpit, when six persons (five of whom were heads
of families) came proinptly forward. From this the
wolk went gloriously on. In a day or two the Me
thodiit brethren of both branches of the Church
came to the aid of the goodtwork, and a/union meet
ing was formed,which continued nearly three weeks.
The result has been the hopeful conversion of over
forty persons."
Methodist.—Our brethren this branch of
church have singular ideas of a "call" addressd to
ministers, arising we suppose from the fact that the
process of calling and setting a• minister over a con
gregation is not known to their standard. One of
their re'ent papers contains the following:
REv. R. A. W. BRuzin, for nine years cler: of

Company, Brooklyn, N. Y., to a general Western

Army.-A Chaplain Court-Margialed.—ln .the
case of John K. Percher, Chaplain of 114th Penn
sylvania, convicted by court-martial of absence with
out leave, that he did not return to duty until eight
days after the expiration of his leave of absence,
and sentenced to be dis Missed the service with loss
ofpay and allowance.„ The Secretary of War has,
in accordance with the recommendation of. Gen.
Hooker, remitted the sentence.

General Hooker Compelled to Withdraw.—
The hopes of the loyal people for a speedy-over
throw of the rebel army south of the Rappahannock,
raised so high early last week, were painfully disap
pointed on Thursday morning, by news of the
withdrawal of our army from the field of battle, and
l e
its return to the north side of *the river. T was
effected on Sunday night, (other accounts sa Tues
day) both by Generals Hooker and Sedgewi , the
first crossing at the United States and the la rat
;‘nterirait Vtrolitttriatt and 60,entter (trattgtliot,
Banks' Ford, above Fredericksburg. A series of
battles of a sanguinary character had been fought,
resulting in the capture of Fredericksburg heights
by Sedgewick, but the enemy seemed too many for
General Hooker, at Chancellorville, and his compa
rative ill success gave them a chance to throw heavy
masses upon Sedgewick, and compel his retreat
from,,the , -heights. -Fleintzelman, in command at
Washington, was ordered to reinforce Hooker's
army with 30,000 men, but, it was probably neces
sary to retreat before he could arrive, The extra
ordinary storm of Tuesday, swelling the rivers and
threatening to cut off Hooker's supplies, perhaps
hastened the withdrawal. The following is the
dispatch to the Associated Press, dated Washing
ton, May 7.—lt is ascertained from the front, that
the army of the Potomac has arrived, with all its
material, at their old camps at Falmouth. The
demonstration of General Hooker has proved no
disaster, but simply a failure, owing to the imprac
ticability of the position which the army had gained
with so much skill and energy. Less than three
eighths of the whole force was engaged, or could
be engaged, the ground being covered with'forests,
without any practicable roads. The entire loss of
killed, wounded, and missing, will not exceed 10,-
000, while the enemy's loss must have been the
double of this. Honorable to the army but lamen
table for the country, the greatest proportion of our
loss is in killed and wounded. Our loss of prisoners
does not exceed 1100. We havezeceived is WWI
ington 2450 prisoners of the enemy. The relin
quishment of the position was simply because it
afforded no field for the rnanceuvreing of the army,
and not from any reverse or injury sustained by it.
The General and the entire army are in excellent
heart, and ready for a new movement. We probx
bly will not know where' this is to be made until
after it has been comlnenced.
The public mind, much agitated by this compul•
sory withdrawal of our army to its old position, and
disposed to take the worst view of the whole opera
tion on the south side of the river, was much
relieved by the following dispatch from the Secre
tary of War, received by the Governor of this State
on• Friday, the Bth:
7o the Governor of Pennsylvania—The President
and General-in-Chief have just returned from the
Army of the Potomac. The principal operation of
General Hooker failed, but there has been no seri
ous disaster to the organization and efficiency of the
army. It is now occupying its former position on
the Rappahannock, having recrossed the river with
out any loss in the movement. Not more than one
third of General Hooker's foree'was engaged. Gen
eral Stoneman's operations have been a brilliant
success. A part of his force advanced to within
two miles of Richmond, and the enemy's communi
cations have been cat in every direction. The army
of the Potomac will speedily resume offensive oper
ations.
(Signed), EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War
General Stoneman's exploits in connection
with this - otherwise unfortunate movement, were
brilliant and successful to an astonishing degree,
filling Richmond with terror, and inflicting damage
which it will take six weeks for the rebels to repair.
The Richmond papers of the sth,. say General
Stoneman, withls,ooo cavalry, destroyed the Fred
ericksburg railroad at Ashland, and took possession
of a train of cars, capturing several rebel govern-.
ment officeis. The engineer jumped from the
engine and pretended to be dead, but the Yankees
awoke him and made him run the train to the vil
lage. They also destroyed two locomotive& A
detachment of Yankees then proceeded to Hanover
Court-house, tearing up the Central Railroad track,
and cutting the telegraph wires. 'Also, burnt the
Court-house and several bridges on the Fredericks
burg Raifroad, and destroyed the water tank at
Hungary. They were evidently guided by some one
familiar with the country. We have obtained his
name, and he is well known in Richmond. At
Brooke Pike the Yankees exchanged their jaded
horses for fresh ones, and proceeded across the
Chickahominy, destroying the turnpike and railroad
bridges over that river, and captured a locomotive
which had been sent out on a reconnoissance.
General Stoneman was still in Louisa county yes
terday, and a detachment of his command is making
their way down the York river, and may join the
Yankee forces now in Williamsburg, Va. They
have destroyed several trains of cars, laden with
government stores.
General Stoneman's operations are explained in
the following dispatches
Headquarters Army of . the Potomac, May 7.
Major-General Stoneman's Aid-decamp, Captain
Sumner, is just in. He left his Chief this morning,
having disarranged Tall the enemy's railroad com
munications between this and Richmond, and one
party having extended their operations to jataes
river, destroying the canal, etc. Three regiments
of the command left his to destroy the railroad
bridges across the. Chickahominy,,with instructions
to go into Yorktown.
Yorktown, May 7, 1863. 2o Major-General
Halleck.—Colonel Kilpatrick, with his regiment,
the Harris Light Cavalry, and the rest of the Illi
nois Twelfth, have just arrived at Gloucester Point,
opposite this fort. They burned the bridges over
the Chickahominy, destroyed three large trains of
provisions in the rear of Lee's army, drove in the
rebel pickets to within two miles of Richmond, and
have lost only one'Lieutenant and thirty men, hav
ing captured and paroled over three hundred pri
soners. Among the prisoners was an aid of Major-
General Winder, who was captured with his escort
far within the entrenchments outside of Richmond.
This cavalry have marched nearly two hundred
miles since the 3d of May, and were inside of the.
fortifications of Richmond. On the 4th they burnt
all the stores at Aylette's Station, on the Matapony.
On the ,sth they destroyed all the ferries over the
Pamanky and Matapony and a, large depot of com
missary stores near and above the Rappahannock,
and came in here in good. condition. They desert°
great credit for what they have done. It is one of
the finest feats of the ' war. Rumus KING, Brig.
Gen. Corn. Post.
The capture of Grand Gulf, with powerful forti
fications, cannon and ammunition, has been con
firmed. The first attack took place April 29, and
resulted in the silencing of the lower batteries. The
upper battery was engaged, and transports ran by
to accommodate Gen. Grant's troops, who expected
to land below the works, and cooperate in the next
engagement. May 3rd, our fleet ascended to the
attack, but the enemy had fled, and our navy took
posssession. Admiral Porter describes Grand Gulf as
the strongest place, naturally, on the Mississippi.
Had the enemy succeeded in finishing the fortifica
tions, no fleet would have taken them., The rebel
commanding officer, Col. Wade, was killed.
According to rebel accounts, our forces have been
executing most daring and successfulraids on the rail
road communications of Vicksburg, far and near.
They are reported to have destroyed the rails at a
station on the Mobile and Ohio Road, called May--
hew, south. of Otolona, and close to the boundary
line between Alabama sand Mississippi ; also at some
pointdirectly westof Vicksburg, on the Jackson and
Mendran
,Railroad, and again at'a point near Gre
nada,. the Junction of the Mississippi Central and
Miss. and Tenn. Roads. It was also reported in
the rebel papers that a few days ago all rail-road
communication between Richmond and the Chief
strategic points of the South, Tullahoma, Vicks
burg and Charleston, was cut off.
Gen. Grant whose troops ran past the Grand
Gulf batteries, as already related,. afterwards land
ed at a small town below, and marched upon Port
Gibson, which is connected with Grand Gulf by
Railroad, 9 miles below Port G. He met 11000 re
bels with whom he fought all day, and routed them
completely, taking 500 to a 1000 prisoners and
losing 600 to 800 in killed and wounded; enemy's
loss in killed and wounded unknown. The enemy
retreated towards Vickgfurg, destroyed the bridges
over the two fcirits,pf the Bayou Pierrie. These
were rebuilt, and. the ptirsuit continued until the
present time. Besideethe heavy artillery at this
place, four field Pieces were captured, and some
stores, and the enemy were driven to destroy many
more. Gen. Grant immediately proceeded up the
Big Black River, in the rear of Vicksburg, expect
ing to cut off all communication and compel a sur
render. The country is very broken and difficult
to act in.--The late cavalry raids into the heart of
rebeldom inVirginia and Mississippi, reveal the fact
that pretty much all'the able-bodied men of the
South are already under arms. Only old people,
females, and riegroes*e found by our bold light
horsemen
in their unexampled' and successful ex
ploits in those States. Col. Grierson rode through
nearly the entire State of Mississippi, scouring it
from right to left and fibm top to bottom. Says the
N. Y. genes: The point we desire to note is that,
though with but a thousand men, Col. Grierson
followed the lines of railroad and settlement
through a State inhabited by 353,901 whites, and
437,404 blacks, there wele not enough able-bodied
men--there were not enough horsemen in a state

State he found a body of 'rebel militia, who, says
the Jackson Appeal, "bream and ran after the se

pletely denuded of able-bodied chivalry.—Gen.
" Stonewall Jackson" has had his left arm ampu

—Gen. Hooker has again crossed the. Rappa

place early on Saturday morning. The enemy had

of battle. •

moving north for the irtvti.sion of Missouri.—
Grand Gulf was attacked beour, naval forces April
30th. Our gunboats, after ' shelling the place for
eight hours on that day, pas'sed below the batteries
during the night with trans Perts having troops on
board. The casualties on otir side are reported at
.twenty-six killed and fifty-toiir Wounded. The Tus
curnbia was badly crippledk, A Cairo telegram,
May 7th, says that the detpatch boat Wilson brings
despatches to the Governm'ent, and news of) the
capture of Grand Gulf, with '',500 prisoners.
Gen. Banks' Operations r —ln the short space
of two weeks General Banks , parehed his army one
hundred and sixty miles, defeated in detail and
dispersed an army of twenty thousand rebels, fought
battles at Bethel Place, Newlberia, Franklin,Ver
millionville, and other places, Jost less than 200 men,
captured 1500 rebel soldiers,
, Optured or destroyed
-all-their gunboats and trttnsport, t and did same
for their extensive salt works,' foundry, machine
shops and supply depots, on which the rebel armies
in the southwest depend for salt, cannon, machinery
for railways and steamboats, and provisions. The
army which was thus destroyed was meditating an
attack upon New Orleans, and in reality kept up
the commnnication of Vicksburg and Port Hudson
with Texas and Alabama. Banks' march to Port
Hudson was, doubtless, a feint, intended to deceive
the enemy, for it.had been kept in circulation for a
long time that Banks was preparing to attack Pert
Hudson, and the enemy thought to take advantage
of his absence by recapturing New Orleans. Not
expecting - him to move in any other direction, as
they knew that the siege of Port Hudson would, be
a protracted one, they were completely surprised,
when, suddenly retreating to *ton Rouge, he rap
idly marched his whole army to attack them in ,
detail, and accomplished the movement so well that
he beat them everywhere.—Phila. North, American.

The death of Sir Cornewall Lewis is univer

death for he was one of the few English statesmen
really in earnest to do us justice and heartily op

affairs. A clerical brother succeeds to. the Baronet

LATEST TUESDAY
News of other raids reaching far into the heart of
the revolted districts, has been received. One ex
pedition, under General Reford. , detached from
General Stoneman's right, "reachedt . the Teimeisee
railroad in the mountains's) f 'Pirelli - al:4nd destroyed
it in several places.—An expedition from General-
Rosecrans' army, penetrated Alabama and Georgia
as much as 60 or 70 miles south of the Tennessee
border, reaching Blountsville, , Ala., and nearly to
Rome, Ga.; but rebel accounts claim, that, after
fighting several ,battles, they were overwhelmed
and captured May 3rd, a few miles from the latter
place. Still another raid into. Georgia is reported
by the Rebel. It says a force three thousand strong
had gone as far as Talladega, eighty miles below
Rome : that the Georgia troobswere mounted on
the animals captured from Streight, and were sent
after the Yankees.—General,Oarter was reported,
• May 9th, at Jamestown, Tenn.,' on this • advance into
the Eastern part of the State, having drawn the
enemy from Kentucky in an engagement near Mon
ticello. Wheeler's rebel cavalry were sent after him
to LivingSton, and some fear - was expressed as to
the result.--A very large proportion Of the pri
soners taken in the recent battles on the Rappahan
nock have taken the oath of allegiance; and desire
to- remain within our lines. This happens after
every engagement in which ,prisoners are. taken.
When paroled, they will ,no return to the rebel
States. No better proof than this is needed of the
desperate character of affairs in the rebel territory,
and the opinions entertained there of the desperate
character of the struggle they - ire now engaged
The New Orleans Era of the 30th April, says;
"The rush among the prisoners was so great yes

We are apt to be free with our jokes upon Doctors and their
drugs, until sick and in need of their aid, then all alike bow to the
necessity of recourse to their hard-earned and often ill-requited skill.
The prevailing belief that physicians frown upon whatever deviates
from their peculiar system and usages, arises from the fact that their
better information leads them soonest to detect and discaid the me
dical delusions and impositions that are thrust upon the community •
That they are ready and.prempt to adopt anyreally valuable inven
tion is seen by the treatment Dr. J. C. ArEa's Chemical Rempilffia
have received at their a ends. They appreciate the value of u.-• so
medicines because they Know their'compasition, and whereis:n
man who ever heard e respectable physician either disparage thei.
or discourage their use? No profession or pursuit has done mole
for the human family than the medical profession. None is followed
by nobler men or for nobler ends;, nor is there one which much bet
ter deserves the thanks of mankind.—Canton (N.Y.) Democrat. ap2
