Gift to Princeton Theological Seminary.—
We see it stated that Mrs. Brown, of Baltimore,'
has just signified to the Trustees of the Princeton'
Theological Seminary that she wishes to give them
thirty thousand dollars to erect a building for the use
of the Seminary) to be oalled “Brown Hall,” provided
they will, proceed immediately to erect it,,and will
complete it for that amount. No doubt but that
the conditions will be accepted, as the institution
greatly needs additional room for the accommoda
tion of the students, ... Tho donation is provided for
in the will of Mr. Brown, to he available on Mr.
B.'s decease; but Mrs. B. how tenders the money-
Missionaries on the Rebellion.— At the twenty
third annua! meeting of the Mission to Western
Turkey, the Rev. William Goodell, D. D., the
Rev. Wm, G. Sohauffler, D. D., and the Rev. Gy
rus Hamlin, D. D., were appointed a Committee to
draft resolutions on the state of our country. They
reported the following, which were unanimously
adopted by the Mission:—
Constantinofle, May 30, 1863.
Resolved? Ist. That although we have been
many years absent from our native land, yet w,e
entertain the most loyal feelings towards our Gov
ernment, and assure the President of our being in
full sympathy with him; and with all loyal citizens
in their efforts to suppress the great rebellion.
2d. That having given up to this cause some of
our best and most promising sons, and one of our
former missionary associates having fallen a sacri
fice to it (Key. Mr. Dunmore, near Helena, ;Ark.),:
we are still ready tor any further needed sacrifices
for our country, and we earnestly pray that God
may inspire all our fellow citizens with true Chris
tian patriotism, to smite this rebellion with “the
arrow of the Lords deliverance, ” notas Joash, thrice,
but “five or six times,” until it is utterly subdued.
3d, That we recognize the righteous judgment
of God in calling our beloved country to this rec
koning of blood for the national sins of slavery,,
oppression, greed, and political corruption in high
places, and that we regard national repentahce*and
the abandonment of this and other sins characteriz
ing us as a people, as the only way to recover,
national safety and prosperity.
4th. That whereas God has vindicated in so re
markable a manner.and before an attentive world,
His glorious justice and mercy pleading t " e cause
of four millions of down-troddemdegraded and des
pised slaves;
Apd tthepsas the Govetnmept -has/abolished |
slavery in the Distriot of Columbia, and prohibited :
the same in all the Territories, and the President,
as Gonunander-in-Chief, has issued his Proclama
tion of Freeeom to the slaves of rebels; arid whereas
the prejudices so long cherished in onr country by*
the white population, against the colored raee, are
evidently yielding to the imperious pressure of pro
videntiaa'oireurnatanees.iinder the Divine discipline
administered to our nation; •
Therefore it ls the clearest duty ot all ioyal eiti
zens to fall in with this wonderful march of Free
dom and Providence, and to count no sacrifices too
dear in order to attain a solid peace upon the basis
of universal freedom and equal righUi ;
6th. That the courage, fidelity, sagacity, patient
endurance, arid absence of cruelty and vindictive
ness, exhibited so generally by the colored race,
under exasperating wrongs hardly paralleled in
history, entitle it to the respect and sympathy oi
the civilized world.
6th/ That, the distinct recognition which the
President;-Senate,„and many officets-of the army
and navy have and His law, of the
Sabbath, and the necessity of prayer, ;is to ns a
matter of devout gratitude. . • •
7th. That it is oWChristian dnty to ,pray,daily
and earnestly for the President and his Cabinet,
that they may have wisdom, energy, and firmness,
equal to this crisis j for the officers and soldiers ot
the army and navy, that they may do valiantly for the
Lord of hosts; for the m#sm* ,of distracted Afri
cans, that they may show themselves to be men in
fighting for freedom and.a bomej and in abstaining
from bloody and lawless retahatwn of wrong ; for
the deluded people ,of the South,
speedily renounce the tyrannyof the slae lords,

Tillman q. Trowbridge, Secretary, .
In regard'to the above resolutions the
says: “If anybody imagines that
thren are going out of their way ° ®
this matter, we beg all such to remember that these
devoted mon are Americans; tha m "
their country; and that theyhavesho wntheirlove
to it by giving of their own flesh, and- bloodforits

The late lamented Dr. Dwight gavetwo sons to
the service of his country, Bew
who for more than a year was the
66th Segment
0. Dwight, who is now in: the field as Aajma
the 20th Ohio Regiment, fighting with such herp
mm before the walls of Vicksburg. Dr. Goodell
has a son. Incut Henry Goodell, who is in a Con
necticut Regiment, now serving with Gen. Banks
before Port Hudson; Edward Schauffier, son of
Dr. Sehauffler, is Adjutant of the 127th New York,
the regiment known as the Monitors; and a son of
the late Rev. Mr. Benjamin is Lieut. Charlesßen
jamin, of the 127th New York. Both the latter
are in the Army of the Pgtomac, and of course
where, they are exposed any day to sacrifice their
lives m deadly conflict. Surely the fathers of such
.men have a right to speak on what concerns the
salvation of their country.
Yhe Fall of Vicksburg has at length taken
place, an announcement which the New York cor
respondent of the London limes declared would
never be made by the National Authorities. Rebels
and their English sympathisers alike will have
cause to remember an event which signalized anew
our day of Independence, the Fourth of July. The
investment on the land side was begun by General
Grant on the 18th of May, after a series of brilliant
victories over the rebel army,commencing atßruins
burg on. the Mississippi below Vicksburg, and in
cluding victorious engagements'ai Thompson’s Hill
May 1, at Mississippi springs hear Jackson the 14th,
at Edwarn’s Station the 16th, and Big Black river
the 17th. Haines’ Bluff was captured on the 20th.-
Vioksburg was stormed on the 21st and 22d, in
effectually and a regular siege was decided upon.
The siege progressed steadily, mines were made
and put in order to be sprung, parallels were con
structed and heavy guns mounted, and the naval
batteries were added to the heavy army ordinance
to batter, down the city and works- By these means
the Unihn- army gradually approached to the rebel
works, until the first defences were rendered use
less, and th 6 rebels had to .construct others nearer
the city. And so the siege progressed.
From the correspondence of the New York He
rald, we give ah account of the great mine dug and
exploded under the principal position of the rebels
towards the close of the siege. This writer says:—ln
order to reach the main sap running to the mine it is
necessary to traverse a distance of three hundred,
yards, in front of the enemy’s main work. To do
this a series of trehches have been dug, taking di
rections at no time exposed to an-enfilading fire
from the enemy, yet at every yard approaching
nearer and nearer, with perfect safety to the sap
pers, In these works a number of sharpshooters
are posted to keep the enemy from looking, overs
and disco vering and interfering with our labors! In
different locations along these works batteries have
been, thrown up and guns mounted which have ex
cellent battering positions. From the head of the
trench to the month of the mine there runs a ditch
about six-feet wide and six feet deep, the earth of
which has beenthrown upon the surface towards
tho enemy. This affords a double security and pro
tection aghinst the enemy’s projectiles. The length
of this sap is about thirty-five yards.
The M.QP3H of the Mine.—As one approaches
the mine, in looking around, he finds himself in
plain view and within five yards of the enemy's
strongest work, the parapet of which is about twen
ty feet from the bottom of the ditch, and is much
indented by our shot and shell.' The work, how
ever, bears some few marks of its original exterior.
It was evidently a sod work, almost perpen
dicular on its outer face, and intended to mount
four guns. However, since our batteries have
been so vigorously firing upon it, the einbra-.
sures have all been filled, and we think the ar
tillery withdrawn to an interior and second line of
defence nearer the city.' In the assault of the 22d
inst., the strength of the two positions beeame evi
dent, for our Joss here was the most sanguinary of the
day. It is supposed, once in possession of this
point, we hold the key to the position, ",
A Few Steps in Advance, and you stand before
the mine, which here has the appearance of a
square shaft dug into the earth, with a gradual de
clivity as you penetrate. The entrance is made in
the scarp of the enemy’s fort and presents an
opening four feet square, well framed with, timbers
to keep up the loose earth which our projectiles
have broken from the face of the work. In order
to protect the entrance a number/of gabions, and:
boxes have been piled up before the mouth, which
afford ample security from hand grenades and shells
thrown over by the rebel troops inside.
Size OF the Mine,—The main gallery, from the
mouth to the point of divergence" of the other
galleries, <, measures thirty-five feet. Here three
smaller galleries set out, one ten feet deep, oblique
ly to the left; another eight feet, diverging to -the
right, and a third, eight feet in length, being a con
tinuation of the main gallery. The chambers for
the reception of the powder are let into the bottom
of the,shaft, and are about two feet in depth..
The Charging of the Mine—Having compieted'
one gallery, the powder was brought up and packed
into the chambers in almost equal quantities, the
entire quantity used being twenty-two hundred
pounds, one thousand of which were placed at the
end of the Main gallery, the remainder being dis
tributed in the extremities of the smaller 'galleries,.
From cach of the chambers a'fuse was run Out" to
the mouth of the shaft, where the match was to be
applied at the designated time.
The Enemy's Counter-mines.—The fear during
the*entire ‘working at the mine and even now is
that the enemy, who is evidently countermining,
will intercept the galleries and steal out the powder,
or himself blow up the work and render our labor
harmless- It is now a matter of speed, the party
first finished having the advantage. Our men, of
course, are using every endeavor to come out ahead.
The powder is now-being placed in sacks and carried
to the chambers made to receive it. It is the inten
tion, to explode the mine the momentit is finished,
which in all probability will be early this afternoon.
Another writer says the work was completed-and
the fuse laid June 25. At noon the troops selected
to asskult the breach were in line confronting the
rebel fortifications.
At length' all was in readiness, the fuse train was
fired, and it went fizzing and popping through the
zigzag line pf trenches, until for a moment it .van
ished. Its disappearance was quickly succeeded by
the explosion, and the mine was sprung. So terri
ble a spectacle is seldom witnessed. Dust, dirt,
smoke, gabions, stockades, timber, gun carriages,
logs—in fact, every thing connected with the fort
rose hundreds of feet into the air, as if vomited
forth from a volcano. Simultaneously with the fir
ing of the fuse train our artillery opened from the
entire semi-circle of batteries, and its thunders well
nigh drowned the noise of the explosion of the
mine. Hardly had the smoke cleared off and the
falling fragments of the fort come to the ground,
when at the word and with a terrific yell our troops
started on the charge. Up the slope they went at
the “ double quick,” turned the summit, and, run
ning down upon the other side, dashed at the
breach. How far they penetrated I am not as yet
aware. That the rebels were present in force to
check their progress at the gap was evident from
the fact that they were there met .by a withering
volley of musketry. The smoke of the contest soon
enveloped the scene. The musketry became louder
and louder, and for three hours it has continued in
one unceasing rattle, intermingled at times with the
heavier and thunder-liks peals of the artillery* Mi
raculous as it may seem amid all the fiery ordeal of
this afternoon’s engagement, one hundred killed
and two hundred wounded is a large estimate of
casualties on our side. Col. Reece, of the Thirty
first Illinois, was mortally wounded by a grenade;
JMwratt fusiftgtnitttt .Gntttt
also Captain Hoteling was injured by a fragment of
the same.
Conflicting statements as to the number of pri
soners taken are current. The Cincinnati Gazette
says that “among the officers captured are one Lieu
tenant General, four Major Generals, and between
fifteen and twenty Brigadier Generals. The garri
son comprised 20,000 men.” Rations were drawn
after the surrender for 30,000 exclusive of citizens.
The latest advices from the interior state that
Johnston is rapidly retreating, and Sherman in hot
pursuit Reinforcements are moving to support
Sherman, An offer of assistance has been despatch
ed to Gen. Banks, anditisconjectured that the gar
rison of Port Hudson will be similar to that of
Vicksburg a week hence. The weight of our artil
lery knocked most of theirworksintoin-distißguisha
ble heaps. About twelve hundred women and chil
dren were in the city during the bombardment, and
for the most of the time they have been obliged to
live in cates, of which, there are several hundred.
The citizens have not been allowed to draw from
the army supplies, except in cases; of destitution.
Theprices of food haye been enormous, $5 per pound
being charged for flour, and $1 per pound for mule
meat. ,
Helena Arkansas.—A decisive victory' at this
point oh the Mississippi also helped to signalize the
14th of July 1863. On that day the combined
forces of Price, Marmaduke, Holmes, and ethers
computed at ten or fifteen thousand, made an at
tack upon our lines, in the face of the gun boats
who. rendered most efficient service. . They were
utterly repulsed losing 1200 prisoners and as many
more killed and wounded. It is reported that the
colored troops at this place fought well.
Rebel Invasion of Indiana—On the Bth of
July a body of rebels under Morgan, crossed the
Ohio north of .Louisville and entered Indiana,
marching for Corydon. They are reported as 4,000
strong. Great excitement prevailed in Indiana
and the.horder comities were pat under martial law.
The determination was expressed that the invaders
should not escape—Subsequently, they took posses
sion of Corydon. On the 12th, some bridges on
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad were destroyed.
Several skirmishes have taken place resulting in
favor of our forces.
The Rebel Retreat.—lt seems impossible at
this writing to decide whether Lee’s army, has been
disappointed in attempting to cross by the high wa
ter on the Potomac, or whether it feels itself strong
enough to manoeuvre and face our forces to another
great battle. Gen. Meade’s caution and his .plain
unwillingness to hasten the battle would indicate a
certain regard, for the enemy, inconsistent [with a
very great demoralization of his forces. It is be
lieved that Lee still retains the bulk of his artillery.
Ainong the captures from' the retreating rebels are
Brigadier Generals Robinson and Trimble, the lat
ter having lost a foot at Gettysburg.. This Trimble
made himself very conspicuous during. the year
1861 in destroying the bridges of the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Railroad. Thfe Potomac has risen to
such a height since the recent rains that it is no
longer a question of Lee’s fording the river, but
only whether any bridge he may throw over can
stand the rush of water. The rains have fallen
most opportunely for our cause* The damage done
to the rebel trains by the dashes of our cavalry is
almost incredible.. Everywhere, along the retreat
they were captured,' cut off and burnt. Gen. Kil
patrick dashed into the middle of Gen, Ewell’s
train and burnt between two and three huiidred
wagons and run off the horses. Again he captured
sixty more wagons and three hundred horses and
mules. The number tof prisoners taken; is about
12,000. And the total loss of the rebels is believed
to be ovdr 30,000 V 'Our pwh lossis probably 20,000.
Gen. Couch’s head-quarters .were at. Shippens
burg, July 9th. Gen - Lee’s head-quarters were at
Hagerstown, where he,was Slid to be entrenching.
Our cavalry had an engagement with a large rebel
force of all arms about 6 miles east of Hagerstown,
July 9th, and at first vie had to fall back.
General Buford’s cavalry brigade then dismount
ed. General Buford charge£ on the rebels,' at the
head of bis brigade, driving them out of the woods.
General Kilpatrick then made a charge with two
mounted regiments, and drove the rebels before
Mm for six miles. Our loss;was,fifty, killed and
wounded, while that of the rebels was a hundred,
besides six hundred prisoners. Middletown,
July 9.—The number of Wagons destroyed by our
cavalry is over 500. Buford destroyed 200 on Mon
day, July 6, Dahlgren destroyed 170 on the same
day, and on Saturday and Sunday Kilpatrick burn
ed, captured and destroyed between 200 and 300.
Fully one third of the transportation of the rebel
army has been destroyed, and the damage to them
is fully twice what they were able to carry out of
Pennsylvania. , 31 battle flags were captured by our
troops at Gettysburg.
The rebel accounts of the battle are' worth put
ting on record. The" following is from the Rich
mond'Dispatch of the 8 th: — Martinsburg, Va.,
July 6.—The latest which seems to be reliable is
tjhat the fight was continued on Sunday, and was the
bloodiest of the-war. General Hill fell back in the
centre, caiising the enemy to believe that he was
retreating. The. enemy, upon this, advanced; then
Ewell and Longstreet advanced their right and left
surrounding the enemy. We then took the.
heights for which we had been contending, and
captured forty thousand prisoners. They refused
to be paroled. Gen. Pifikett’s division is now
guarding the prisoners to Martinsburg.
The Mississippi ; Louisiana, &e.—On the 20th
of June, the rebels attempted to destroy a railroad
bridge at LaFourehe crossing West of New Orleans
but were signally repulsed after an engagement,
losing 500r’60 killed; 300 wounded and2so pri
soners. -
At BrasheaT city, Berwick’s Bay they were more
successful. There, according to correspondents,
they surprised and captured a whole regiment, 30
pieces of artillery, vast quantities of stores, medicines
etc. and butchered a vast number of freed negroes
in camp in that place. The number thus, fiendish
ly, slaughtered is put as high as 3 or 4 - thousand.
At Donaldsonville, La. June 27th and at Helena,
Ark. July 4th the enemy was most disastrously re-,
pulsed by qur troops and gun boats. l , ' v
1 Tennessee. —Gen. Rosecrans’ advance com
menced on the -24th of June, he drove the rebels
before him on every hand. His command took
three roads, covering 25 miles of country. The cen
tre was at Manchester on Sabbath the 28th, the
right wing under Granger, having entered Shelby
ville, .where it was received with many demonstra
tions of loyal sentiments. The bridge over Duck
river was saved, and 3 guns and 300 prisoners cap
tured. Bragg it was feared would escape the'
necessity of a general engagement and reach
Chattanooga in safety. .On the 30th of June our
army was within 5 miles bf Tullahoma the fortified
post occupied by Bragg. Col. Wilder penetrated
to 13 miles in the rear of Bragg and destoryed a
railroad bridge at Decherd which would greatly
embarrass'the rebel retreat to Chattanooga,
As the particulars of the General’s late *advance
become known the community is astonished at their
boldness and success :■ —General Stanley's cavalry
dash into Shelbyville was ene of'the most brilliant
passages of the war. Our forces advanced on the
Shelbyville pike, driving the rebels from Gay’s Gap
and riding down fifty of them. Col. Minty’s bri
gade then followed them up and drove them into
the fortifications at Shelbyville. Mitchell’s whole
division then charged through and - pushed rapidly
into the town. The rebels took a position in the
, centre square, with artillery, and a charge was made
by ithe Ninth and Seventh Pennsylvania cavalry into
the teeth of the gone, which were captured. At
the same rime the Fourth Regulars and Third Indi
ana galloped into their flank near the upper bridge
of Duck River. The enemy were totally routed and
driven into the river, where one hundred of them
were drowned. The rebel General Wheeler escaped
on foot. Sixty or seventy officers and seven hun
dred prisoners were taken. Ourioss was six killed
and thirty or forty wounded. v ‘"
A despatch dated Manchester,'dune'3o, says Col.
Wilder’s cavalry expedition to-the"rear of Bragg’s
army, at Tnllahoma, has just! returned. With
mounted infantry he went to Hillsboro, thence to
Deiherd, and swam the Elk rivir, and crossed his
howitzers on a raft, making fifty miles in the same
day. He tore ftp the track and'burned a depot
full of stores, and destroyed thdfrestlework. At
daylight in morning he started up to the Southern
University, where he divided hissprees. One por
tion whs sent to strike the railroad at Tawtalon,
while Wilder went to strike lat Anderson. He
found Buckner’s whole diviskmlpn the train of cars
going up,from Knoxville to tnllahoma, and fell’
back tearing up the railroad fWm Cowarf to Tracy
City. The Rebels, meanwhile, having sent a
powerfhl force to entrap Em, he struck through
the mountains and retorted to Manchester. He
took and paroled a numbei of prisoners, and cap
tured a lot of nijdes. The damage done to the rail
road is very serious. Th; ( expedition made 126
miles in two days and a half. Dn or about July Ist our
forces entered Tullahoma, Go. Bragg having evacu
ated that stronghold and repeated; to Chattanooga.
We have also occupied Wnehester, Decherd and
Cowan, railroad towns be|w Bragg’

A Correspondent of the Siecle Paris, the government organ
Prance writes from Tunis, Algiers, as follows:
of “Our College philosophers at home may, and probably do accom
plish a great deal for the cause of science, but the Americans are the
people to'turn these discoveries to practical account. Many of the
modem inventions muse here are American, and one American
chemist, Dr. J. C. Ayer of Lowell, supples much of the medicine con
sumed in thiß country. His Cherry Pectoral, Pills, Sarsaparilla and
Ague Cure .constitute the staple remedies here, because they are of
easy application, Bure in their results, and have the confidence of
the people. While the science of Medicine is carried to a higher
perfection in our own country (France) than any other, it strikes a
Frenchman as a little singular that an American Physician should
furnish the medical skill and remedies for our Principal Province.

THE RICHARDSON PREMIUM
BURIAL CASKETS.
Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or
other material, and constructed substantially air-tight
by the novel invention of patent Circular Ends, with
out any joints* making it impossible for oxygen to pe
netrate from the outside, thus rendering them more
durable, and better adapted to the purposes for which
are needed. *
They are tastefully manufactured from grained Rose
wood, Mahogany, Black Walnut; and other materials
that render them less expensive and place them with
in the means of persons of moderate circumstances,
and all finished according to the wishes and taste of
those giving the orders.
While the Casket retains all the requisites of an ap
propriate receptacle for the dead, its construction and
appearance is such, as entirely to do away with all dis
agreeable and unpleasant sensations. There is noth
ing in the arrangement or shape of the Casket, that is
in the remotest degree, repulsive, but quite the con
trary, it is beautiful. And surely that which tends in
any degree to soften the poignancy of grief in the
hour of.bereavement, must commend itself to the fa
vorable consideration of every afflicted heart, and
sympathizing friend. ?
The Caskets when required, are made air-tight,
emitting no offensive odor, and hence are specially
valuable in the removal.of deceased bodies from any
of .the battle fields, and other distant .points to remote
localities for interment, and are not liable to the ob
jections frequently made by Railroad Companies,
when offered for transportation with the usual prepa
rations. .
We guarantee, in our hands, the removal of the
dead with perfect safety, no matter how long buried,
and. if recently interred, in a good state of preserva
tion* and without the least unpleasant odor, or we
will make no charge for the Casket.
The'Caskets are furnished at one-half the cost of
the so-called metallic coffin.
N.B.—We expect to visit the different battle -fields
weekly. - -
The undersized also offers to the public in gene
ral, his Patent Corpse Preserver, a New Invention,
lor the preservation of the bodies of deceased persons,
by cold air alone, and without the application of iee,
which is so repugnant to the feelings- By the use of
this Preserver, the funeral may be deferred for weeks,
if necessary, to await the arrival of absent friends, as
by the cold air process, the corpse will keep much
longer than in the dqtinary way of pressing the body
down with from fifty to a hun'dred pounds of ice, and
.saturating it with water, -

Discount to Clergymen.
When a clergyman wants a Piano-Forte for his own
family, we invariably make him a liberal discount for
two obvious reasons. Ist. Clergymen are the poorest
remunerated of any class of men of equal talents and
qualifications; and, 2d, When they have anarticle that
pleases them, they are not afraid to talk about it.
