' Rev, Dr. Scott, late secession sympathiser in
San Francisco, and pastor of the First Presbyterian
(0.5.) church there, having, in accordance with
the manifest wishes of his loyal fellow-citizens,
expatriated himself and taken refuge among the
“ sympathisers ” with a slaveholders* rebellion so
abundant in England, has been welcomed by the
English Presbyterians, with Dr. Hamilton at then
head. English Presbyterians, we are sorry to'say,
show an ill-concealed' sympathy with the 350,000
slave masters in the Ifiouth, and are no longer sensi
tive as, to the connection of the American Chris
tians and ministers who come among them with :
slavery. Here is the report of the proceedings
“ anent ’ ’ the reception of Dr, Scott in the Synod
of the English Presbyterian Church, meeting in
London, April 29th: “The n&t sfibject' was to
consider a ‘ referenoe from the Presbytery of Bir
mingham anent a call, from New, John.street :con
grogation, to the Rev. Dr. Scott, and an applica
tion from the London Presbytery, that the said Dr,
Scott be admitted a minister to this church. ’ The
Rev. Dr. Hamilton proposed, and the Rev. George
Lewis seconded the receptioti of Dr. Scott; payins
a high tribute to that gentleman’s, devotion .to hip
work and his value as a minister of the' Gospel. Mr.
J. E. Mathieson proposed as fin amendment, that a
committee be appointed to correspond with Califor
nia regarding the reasons of his dismissal from that
Presbytery, and report to the next Synod. Mr.
Jfitnes Robinson seconded the amendment. .Thb
ground of opposition was that Dr. Scott had been
bnrned in effigy for pro-slavery opinions. After a
spirited discussion, the amendment was withdrawn,
and Dr. Scott was received as a minister. Dr.
Scott was afterwards introduced to the meeting,
and was received with applause. He admitted that
he had been * hanged * twice whilst in California,
first, because he would not consent in 1856 to pray
for the V igilance Committee, who broke open goals
on the Lord’s Day, and hanged men out of the
windows of Warehouses; and, secondly, because he
would not consent to the introduction during the
fervor of the war of political, questions, in the Sy
nod.” .
The Cumberland Assembly.—-The Thirty-third'
General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian ,
Church of the United States of America contends
in the First Cumberland Presbyterian.church inthe !
city of Alton, Illinois, on Thursday, May 21. 1863.
There were seventy-seven members present from ‘
the following stales: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, '
Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Kentucky. '
-Milfonßaird, D.D,waaelectedmoderate Lfebaubh, •
Ohio, was unanimously selected'as the place of the
meeting of the next Amenably. This body is terribly
broken up by the great rebellion,'d largdmajority of
its ministers aud people having become victims of
the pro-slavery infatuation, and thrown themselves
into the whirlpool, whereby the Southern churches
are' so generally desolated.
The Assembly adopted a series of resolutions on
the great rebellion, fully recognizing the duty of
loyalty and obedience to the general Government,:
declaring treason and rebellion to be heinous sins
against God aud his authority, and that the interests
of Christianity and civilization require the rebellion
to be put down and the rightful authority of the
General Government re-established. They disavow
any sympathy with those “ ultra-abolitionists whose
efforts, we believe, have been, and are how, aimed
at the destruction ot our civil government in order to
abolish slavery..’’ They declare the introduction of
slavery to have been, an enormous crime, and its
existence a source of many evils, and with regard to
the remedy, recommend prayer and mutual forbear
ance, and to avoid agitation. And finally, they
clinch! the whole by reaffirming a pair of most loyal
resolutions, deprecating all attempts to dissolve the!
Union, which were passed by the Assembly at Cum
berland, Tennessee, as early as 1850.
The General Assemblies ln. ; Scotland com
menced on tM same day with ouf own May 21st
The established church was opened after sermon, as
usual by H, M. Lord High Commissioner with an
address in which he alluded to the marriage of the
Prince and Prineess of Wales, and then informed
the Assembly that Her Majesty had given her usual
donation of 2.000& for promoting religious instruc
tion in the Highlands and Islands. The Moderator
having addressed the Lord High Commissioner a
Committee was appointed to prepare Addresses of
Congratulation to the Prince and Princess, and the
Assembly adjourned, tn the subsequent proceed
ings a Committee was appointed to watch the pro
gress of a bill in regard to the solemnization of mar
riage in India between Christian people, which was
regarded as of injurious tendency towards the clergy
ot the established Church. A large Committee was
appointed on innovations in public worship, A
deputation from the Synod in England was re
ceived. When the subject of correspondence with
Foreign churches came up, it was stated that
but two continental churches were under the care of
the committee, one at St. Petersburg and one at
Paris. M. Vernier presented a letter from the
Central Protestant Society of France, apd then ad
'dressed the Assembly. In Paris, where there were
only three Protestant congregations forty years ago,
there were now forty-three congregations. The
cause of Protestantism generally was progressing,
and the Protestant Church in France looked to the
Churches in Scotland, especially to the Established
Church, for sympathy and aid in their work. The
endowment commitee (for church erection we sur
mise) reported over £20,000 subscriptions to Pro
vincial Fund, an increase of 46000 on the previous
year. 19 new parishes representing an outlay of
£50,000 have been added to the ohhrcb, mid 21
other chapels were reported as . contributing £lOOO,
to each of which grants have be>-n voted, represent
ing a further capital sum of £42,000. JO3 paro
chial and 63 sewing schools were' reported of, cOn
tinning 19,313 scholars. The Presbyteries had ex
amined 2,469 schools, of which 959 were parochial,
allembracingl7B,s72scholars. 17l4Sabbathsohools
were reported with 136,586 names on the roll. It was
voted after long discussion, that no student shall be
recommended to a Presbytery until his theologi
cal course is completed. Also that students before
entering a Divinity Hall, shall be examined by a
Committee of the Assembly. The report of the Com
mittee on Foreign Missions states that the five sta-'
tions of Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Sealcote, add
Gyah are occupied; and the schools and preaching
operations go on as before. The funds, however,
of the scheme are not' in a satisfactory condition—
the income for the year being 4,099?. as compared
with >4. 806?, last. . ; [ls it possible that this paltry j
sum represents the entire liberality ofthe Establish?•
ed Church towards this great object?] A Commit
tee was appointed'by a vote of 88 to 29, “ to consi
der the difficulties connected with the present mode
ofthesettlement of ministers and how they may be re- ■
moved.' ’ The difficulties referred to are those arising
from the system of patronage, under the Scotch Be
nefices act. One of the speakers referring to
sonie ofthe evils flowing froin state qf
matters, said that there had been no fewer than
forty-four cases under l this aot in' less than twenty
years. Four of these cases had come up' to two
General Assemblies; one parish had no fewer than
three;different cases; while another parish had two
cases of disputed settlements. Thus, the expense,
connected with these forty-four cases,at an average
of 500?. each, amounted to 22,000?.—a sum that
would have endowed a Presbytery as large as many
of the Presbyteries of the Church. There was no
party —people, presentee, or patron—but .had suf
fered greatly from the present state of
The entire receipts ofthe Home Mission Committee
were 4766?, Ry a vote of 40 to 39 an overture was
agreed upon to Presbyteries to allow ministers to
admit to‘ their pulpit ministers of otheriEvangeli
oal Churches, on the; understanding ihat they
should report to the first'meeting of their respec
tive Presbyteries what, they had, done. The
Committee on Sabbath observance reported .that
they had resisted the proposed opening of the Bo
tanic Gardens op Sabbath; some of the members
were not in sympathy with the committee in their
opposition, and wished its discharge. A petition
against the opening of the Gardens was read, and
Dr. Bisset, ex-moderator, took exception to the
declaration that the opening of the gardens would
be a breach of the Fourth, Commandment ; a com
mittee was appointed to frame a new petition. The
amended petition, which omitted the reference to
the Divine Commandment, was agreed to in the
evening, when the Assembly was closed by an ad
dress from the moderator. j i s
Editor
: The Free Church- Assembly, gfter a sermon
by the retiring moderator, Dr.: Guthrie, elected iMr.
McLeod; of Snizort, moderator, by acclamation.
Mr. McM. in his address,, spoke of the fidelity ofthe
Highland'and Island churches to the Free Church.
In contending for the pnnciplehof the Free Ohhreh,
he himself had been arraigned as a criminal before
the bar of the Old Assembly. : The report on the
conversion of the Jews was given in by the Rev.
Moody Stuart. The total income of the mission,
for the past year, exclusive of £122 contributed for
special purposes, amounts to £3821, and the expen
diture to £4613, showing a deficiency of !£792. The
Report gave a number of interesting details in re
ference to the work done,at the, mission stations at
Amsterdam, Breslau, Pesthj Constantinople, and
Ancpnp in Italy,, and - noticed the visit -paid by the
Rev. Dr. Duncan, to the Bohemian Church, and
the interest which it caused. The doings of Mon
day and Tuesday have not ; reached us. On Wed
nesday overtures were toad from 4 Synods and 3
Presbyteries,, about the practical training of stu
dents, as preachers and as future participants in. the
government of the Church. - On these no action
seems to have been: taken. ; The College 'committee
reported 187 students, about one-quarter of whom
were to apply -for license. > Dr, Henderson, the
chairman, referred to the inadequate number of
students as compared with the demand, and said
that there was a lack of students throughout all the
Churches of Christ, and therefore there was need
for the employment of means to increase the supply.
He further stated that Dr. Hetherington's health
was now in such a delicate state, that it was not
likely that he would be able to resume his profes
sional duties ; and he therefore suggested that it be
remitted to the College committee to ripen matters
for the appointment of a colleague by next Assem
bly., The report gave the following as the state of
the General College Fund forjhe past year:. Charge,
£3939; discharge, £3606 ;_balance in favor of'Com
mittee,! £329; ''V'"’'
Mr. Davidson was elected colleague and! successor
of Prof. Duncan by acclamation. The sum Taised
fbr the endowment of Edinburgh College thus far
is £2,328. In the evening a deputation was re
ceived from the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists,- viz: ’
the moderator of the' Synod Rev, Owen Thomas,
and Rev. Mr. Williams-He stated that.|his Welsh
body was 130 years old, having commenced to leave
the English Church in 1735. Their membership is
100j568. Their doctrinal standards are the same as
ours. The government of the individual churches
is vMr.Thpmas. said i
, “ They held their church meetings weekly, and pt
these meetings all the members of the congregatiofis
related their Christian experience. If any member
was found guilty of any sin, he was spoken to at
these meetings; and the other members; of the
congregation had a voice in punishing the trans
gressor. When anybody offered himself for church
membership, he was” brought before the congrega
tion, and examined ‘in reference to-'his Christian
experience and his character before he was: admit
ted. The Sabbath Schools connected with his de
nomination formed a great peculiarity of their sys
tem. Their Sabbath scholars never left; them ;
and it wasfio uncommon thing to find in 'these
schools and boys, grandmothers and
girls, sitting together, and being taught by one
oajnmon teacher. ; In fact, .their Sabbath Schools
were simply large meetings; held on the Lord’s
day, at which the members df their congrega
tions converted -together, and. read" the I Word,
of Gom”. -Suitable!' responses were ;inade to
Mr.'Thomas by Rev. Dr. Begg and the mo
derator. On Thursday commenced -the great
discussion on Union, .with the United Synod and
other Presbyterian Bodies, which we have referred
to-elsewhore, and of which we shall endeavor to :
give extracts hereafter. It resulted in. the unani
mous adoption ot ithe following resolution,offered
by Rev. Dr. Buchanan, amid general and prolong
applause: “The General Assembly, cordially ap
proving of the object contemplated in the overtures,
and recognizing the duty, especially in present cir
cumstances, of aiming at its accomplishment by all
suitable means consistent with a due regard ito the
principles of this Church, appoint a Committee to
take into consideration the .whole subject of union
among the non- jstablishcd Churches, in Scotland.
And, in particular,-'the General Assembly, author
ize the Committed, to confer with the Committee on
Union recently appointed by the Synod of the Uni
ted Presbyterian Church, as well as with represen
tiyes of any of the other Churches named or.,indi
cated in the overtures, should occasion or opportu
nity of doing so arise, And the Assembly appoint
the Committee to report upon the whole subject to
the General Assembly 0 f next year.” On Friday
t ie committee on the resolutions was Announc
ed, comprising the leading c i ergy an d ] a ; ty of the
body 43 in number. Dr. Begg gave in a, report on
Popery which led to an interesting discussion. On
Saturday the College Endowment Fund was report
ed as amounting to £15,530.. The Widows’ Fund'
has - 765 ministers and. professors as contributors, i
) Its capital is £103,800, 37 widows,iud ST children-
ftctfijrtmati and ffitniftte.
are annuitants. The aged and Infirm Ministers fund
has a yearly disposable income of £l6OO. There are
85 annuitants. On Monday June 4th the Com
mittee on Foreign Missions reported recommend
ing that Dr. Duff who has several times expressed
his inability to retain much longer his responsible
and onerous position at the head of the Free Church
Institution at Calcutta be invited to come home
and accept the office of Convener of the Committee
of Foreign Missions. It was adopted. The As
sembly adjourned on Tuesday.

The.lnvasion of. our State.—We have run up
such an account with the rebelsin the form of grand
cavalry raids, that it is no, wonder they felt some
thing must be done to make the account balance.
Hence, having received heavy reinforcements, they
selected the very accessible and rich Cumberland
Valley, where the inhabitants “dwell careless, after
the manner of the Ziodonians, quiet and .secure,' a
place where there is no want for anything that is
and,like the Danites,- made ,a .raid
upon: it. At this writing their movements cannot
be well, made out. Hagerstown, Greeneastle and'
Ohainbersbnrg. fell into their hands on the 15th'
of June;' Winchester: and' Martinsburg were aban
doned about the same' time by Miltoy who had
difficulty in cutting his way , through to Harper’s
Ferry. ; A train of 100 wagons from Martinsburg,
Va., reached Harrisburg on the morning of the
,16th. At Hagerstown, one, of our 'regiments' after
fighting an hour and a half, was surrouded and'
compelled ,to surrender, 1700 of the 2000 men :
.missing from Gen. Milroy’s command who had
■been; taken prisoners, made their escape-
After reaching a point 5 or 6 miles north of
Cbambersburg and burning a railroad bridge there,
the rebels seem to have paused, although by rapid
marching their cavalry might have , reached the
State Capital and found it almost utterly dfifenjte
less. Troops from abroad had not arrived in Harris
burg at 1 o’clock of Tuesday afternoon.- The. Sus
quehanna river, no doubt, is fordable, with little
difficulty, to mounted men, and great mischief
might have been wrought, with a little more, bold
ness, on thepartof the .marauders. Meantime our
Atlantic cities, from Baltimore to Portland were
stirred, to their profoiindest depths. Our own
city moved somewhat slowly. In fact , nothing
had been done here when the intelligence ,of the
readiness of the New York .7th to cometo the aid
of our State was received. On Tuesday the City
Councils met, the State House Bell was ruhg and a
town meeting was,held in the afternoon. The coun
cils voted that the Governor be requested to put
!the State under martial law,’ They voted $500,000
to be expended by the Mayor and Committee; of De-’
r fence,,to encourage enlistments and provide equip-;
meets. Reeruting went on with, great activity asi
soon as it was understood that the term of 6 months
would not Be insisted on. A battery of twelve 32-poun-;
ders organized at the Navy Yard, also Capt. Mil-:
ler’s Howitzer battery left on Tuesday the ICtb.
Several companies of colored soldiers offered their
services and were accepted. A thousand men were
set to work on the, grounds opposite ; Harrisburg, l
who. threw up: three: lines of rifle pits and breast
works. '
, /In-Albany,, the greatest : alaerity and determina
tion was shown by 1 Governor- Seymour. General 1
McClellan' Was in /conference with the; ‘Governor.
Fifteefi regiments of militia were put under march
,ing orders, and three regiments of returned voiun
,teers offered; their services. In New York eity and
Brooklyn the greatest enthusiasm appeared; the
five thousand men expected, from this source could
ireadily be doubled. In New Jersey, the 23rd regi
ment;' waiting to be mustered out, offered its ser
: vices. ‘ The Uity Councils of Baltimore met at mid
!night,, June 15 and 16„ and appropriated $400,056.
The news of Thursday, the loth, is far less
'alarming. It is even , announced that the Re
bels left Chambersburg ,on the previous! day,
at 3 o’clock, and that telegraphic communica
tion is restored. Rumors and counter-rumors assert
.and deny that .the rebels are threatening Baltimore,'
Being massed at Westminster only thirtydive miles
distant. Gen.,Ewell is represented as in command
of a corps at that point 35,000 strong. During the
stay of the rebels at Chambersburg, all private
property was respected, except so-far as horses and
cattle and the necessaries of life were concerned.
Jackson’s old division, under .Ewell, is reported, to
-be'at Hagerstown. Information was received by
‘the authorities Jqne 17, that Imboden wap.at Gum-
Berland yf ith two regiments of infantry and one of
. cavalry, with artillery. i - .
Harper’s Ferry has been evacuated, our forces
' holding ' Maryland ' Heights. The entriericiiineiijts
opposite Harrisburg were represented as complete
'on the 17th, and ,the excitement had considerably
abated.' 'We regret that i General: Couch > suffered
himself to be governed by a technicality,or perhaps
a 'pStiy prejudice under the ghise of a technicality,
leading him to refuse the services of tire negro vol
unteers. His excuse'was that no authority had
been granted by the War Department for the mus-.
ter of colored troops into the service for a less period
thaDpthreeij-yearSi' S«ieh apologies will do when
th'ere'isßo "danger; But in the midst of urgent and
pressing calls for men they, are scandalous.
Friday’s news makes it quite certain that the re-‘
bel movement to Chambersburg was a feint "or a
reconnoisance, .by a quite moderate force, say 2000
men. On Thursday, organized troops began to
arrive" at Harrisburg from New York and New
Jersey. The cars are now running to within five
miles of Chambersburg; A Body of rebels has ad
vanced westward beyond Cumberland, Md., as if
to threaten Wheeling and! Pittsburg. Gen> Kelly
was opposed to them at Rawling’s and a
battle was expected.
Saturday morning’s news brings particulars of a
cavalry fight at Aldie, among the Bull Run Moun
tains.
The Siege of Vicksburg drags along its slow
length. Every thing depends upon the ability of the
rebels to bring a heavy force upon the besiegers’
rear; Reports from Satartia, oh the Yazoo river,
40 mite above Haines’ Bluff, dated June 6th, re-
present that the enemy under Johnston and Breck
inridge, were at Yazoo city, 25 miles above, with
8 divisions, which would scarcely be less than twen-
ty, perhaps as much as thirty thousand men. Oh
that day, the enemy appeared near Satartia in such
force that our commanding "officer deemed it advisa
ble to withdraw to Haines’ Bluff., It adds rather
mysteriously, General Grant arrived at dark,; ex
pecting to find General Kimball here', and returned
immediately. Affairs are culminating. Despatches
received at Washington up to the 11th represent
affairs at that date, as most cheering. The enemy
occupied Canton and Yazoo City in considerable
force.—At Milliken’s Bend, where the rebels loca
ted, their roving General Kirby Smith two weeks
ago, the union force has been sufficiently strength
ened to allow the sending an expedition against the
rebel General McCullough, who was represented
to be at Richmond, La., with 6000 men. On the
13th the enemy’s batteries were reported .silent,
they are believed to be erecting an interior fine of
works on which to fall back after abandoning that
now held. There is no news of Johnston. It looks
very much as if Vicksburg, was abandoned by the
rebels, while they turn their attention to a projected
invasion of the north at several points.
The Arago has arrived from Port Royal, with
General Hunter and staff. General Hunter, in a
tpesial order, announced that lie had been with
drawn temporarily .from command of the Depart
ment of the South “to be assigned to particular!
duty in another quarter. He delivered the com-!
ffiand to General Quincy A. Gillmore. i
Naval.—Three new privateers have been , an
nounced as engaged in destroying our commerce;
the bark Coquette which came within 30 miles of
the mouth of the Delaware and coas
ting vessels including a Philadelphia schooner about
Friday week; —the steamer Georgia, which is cruis
ing apparently from- the vicinity of Bahia eastward
and which captured and burned the ship Dictator
bound from New York to Hong Kong, with coal;
and the brig Clarence, met June Bth in lat. 34° 'lo'
long. 73° 8/ by the schooner A. H. Partridge which
was; boarded and released on giving bonds. The
Clarence was captured by the Florida May 7th and
armed as a cruiser.' The, Alabama has been com
mitting further depredation.
Ten Gun boats: left Now York the 15th and 16th
to search, for the pirates. ' - .
Miscellaneous.—-The Democratic party in Ohio
has nominated Vallandigham'with great unanimity
for Governor of the State. —-Prov. Marshal Stevens
Was Shot and killed in Rush Co. Ind, while proceed
ing with the draft.— —The stories of resistance to
the draft in Berks bounty, l ' are without foundation.

the Constitution, prorogued by Governor Yates on

execute two officers in retaliation for the two spies
executed by General Burnside, at Sandusky, and
have in custody as a hostage One of our surgeons
for the safety of onegbf their- surgeons; also; One
detained as a the safety of Dr, Rumke,

late in Ohio and Indiana. The. disturbers, occa

sent 'to Holmes county, Ohio, tobreat Up an organ
ization formed there to'resipt'the enrollment. They
arrived at the scene of the disturbance on the 17th.
As the troops advanced, shots were fired by the in
surgents, without,effect, when the soldiers,'under
Colonel "Wallace, fired a volley, and charged bayo
nets. . Eight prisoners were taken, and two slightly
wbunded. The military commander has given notice
that the troops would remain quiet' till Thursday,
and give the insurrectionists an opportunity to sur
render’the originators of the movement, and dis
perse/ .If this was not done by Friday morning,

LATEST.
, , Areeent opinion as.to the position of the rebel
army and , tbp meaning of late movement is: lee
has pushed his; army, up so that ; tbe left wing rests
in Maryland, and t : o. gpt supplies he las invaded'
Pennsylvania; lee is jbusily at work putting his
army in fighting trim and drawing for it ample sup
plies on the Pennsylvania,border.. General Hooker,
in the meantime, has pushed his, army up so that
ihe right wing rests on Poolesyille. .The advanee
into Maryland must be made, before the rebel army
,cap;show battle;, A number of captures, of marau
ding rebels have been,made in our State, .while on
Gep. Hpoker’s. front scouting ( and cavalry encoun
ters are frepuent, which uniformly result, in .our
favor. The cavalry battle of Aldie, on Wednesday,
the i!7tb,wa-=and was ilete.su'’"
j,e a ; . ~was very severe and was a complex success
-for us. Gen, Gregg routed the rebels under Stuart
with great slaughter and captured two guns, 3
caissons and other munitions of war, 'with over 60
prisoners. Our losses were small. The Baltimo
reans are fortifying theircity at every point, as the
opinion becomes more decided that that is the
point at which the rebels are now aiming. Secre
tary Stanton desires all the New York troops to
be sent, to Baltimore, Harrisburg being considered
.safe.;; ",

It is only too true. According to the latest accpunts

The Jaw-Bones of, Abbeville,— ln the last
number of this paper, We published an account of
the investigation into the character of the alleged
human remains found in connection with the flint
hatchets of Abbeville, ;The conclusions then reached
was unfavorable to their genuineness and pointed
to fraud ®n. the part of the workmen. This con
clusion, ,however, after closer examination, has been
abandoned, and the ultimate result, .according to
the report of Mr. Milne Edwards to the Academy
of Sciences is that the genuineness of the. jaw -bone
hatchets was unanimously acknowledged." ; ,!
So far. says the Methodist, all went on swimmingly
for the Ante-Mosaic (and Anti-Mosaic) wise men.
At last", they thought,! we have settled this question;'
a clearly acknowledged human fossil, belonging to
the end of the quaternary period,iputs an end forever
to the theory of the recent origin of the human race,
and will go far to put an end, also, to the claims of
the Mosaic writings. .
: Alas ‘for, the vanity of all human triumphs.
Scarcely had M. Milne Edwards sat down, when M.
Elie Beaumont, the greatest living authority in ge
ology,. rose up—not to controvert the elaborate
arguments of the wise men drawn from the charac
ter and appearance of the remains; not to assert,
: as others had done, that the workmen of Abbeville
had stolen the jaw-bone , from a neighboring ceme
tery, and placed it in'tim sand-pit to gull the
savans; hut simply to declare that the locality o
Moulin-Quignon, does not belong to the dUmmim at
alii but to a period vuite within the range of the
ordinary chronology! Here was a staggering blow
indeed. The English members of the committee
doubtle,s looked at the French, and the French at
the English 1 , and said to each other in thought, if
not in word, “ What fools we have made of our
selves, before all the world.” At all events, the
question is; not settled; it is only removed to
another field, .

RUNNING STITCH
15 SEWING MACHINE,
The embodiment of practical utility, and a marvel
of simplicity; makes the running stitch very rapidly
and perfect, uses a common needle, and will last a
lifetime. At the New York State Fair, its simplicity,
efficiency, and great practical utility, was confirmed
by the award ot the First Premium. It will Gather,
Ruffle, Shirr, Tuck, Run up Breadths, with a single
or double Thread, on any material adapted to the
Running Stitch. The thinnest, usually the most diffi
cult to stitch by other sewing machines, being sewed
the easiest. For ladies’ and children’s apparel, aud
other articles made of light fabrics, it will therefore
be found almost invaluable. It is attached to the ta
ble like : .a sewing bird, and having no tension, and
requiring no lubrication or change of stitch, is always
ready for operation, and such a marvel of simplicity
that a child of six or eight years can understand it,
and use it successfully. It is not liable to getput of
order. Each machine is put up in a neat box, accom
panied with full and explicit directions, and twenty
five needles. Sent to any address in the United States
on receipt cif an order, inclosing the amount, or may
he collected by Express on delivery of the machine.
Wheti the money is sent with the order and registered,
we guarantee its safe receipt and the delivery of the
machine, anywhere within 2000 miles free of any Ex
press charges. Very liberal arrangements for agen
cies. See “Mirror of Fashions,” lorfull particulars,
specimen of sewing, etc., send a stamp for return
postage. Address, MME.-DEMOREST, 473 Broad
