' Amen,— -Dr. G-ulick, of the Micronesian Mission, says that when translating selections from the Gos pel, the translator was long in doubt what native word to use to signify “Amen.” After careful in quiry among the natives, he hit upon what he sup posed would most nearly give its idea. What was his surprise to find, awhile later, that his synonym for the devout word which ends the Christian’s prayer, had the equivocal’sense of '—dry up!—Con gregatio natist. ; If a minister were to Tead his hymns from the pulpit without naming the number or page, a few glances at his audience would be likely to remind him of the omission. But not less annoying to many in almost every congregation, is the failure to name the chapter, when the Bible is read as a part of the introductory service. If the verses read are not consecutive, care should always be taken so to de signate them that the congregation may .follow readily with the eye, and not to be compelled to act the part of a detective, who finds nis keenest pow ers taxed to keep sight of his man in the crowd. prists. Hon. A- 6- Curtin has been nominated by the Union State Convention meeting in Pittsburg, Aug. 5, for another term in the Gubernatorial chair of the State of Pennsylvania. He has made a very efficient, prompt and devotedly loyal officer; and the State would be well served if she could retain such men in office for many terms. Hon. Daniel Agnew, of Beaver Co., was nominated by acclamation for Su preme Judge. Army of Rosecrans. —Gen. Stanley. recently made an extensive expedition from Winchester, Tenn., into Alabama. Col. Galbraith had an en counter with 300 of the enemy’s cavalry at Pulaski, Tenn,, who were driven out with the loss of 3 killed and 50 prisoners. On the 22dof July the expedition returned to camp with 1000 horses and mnles, and between five and six hundred negroes. Gen. Rose crans has issued an order against marauding and vi olence by his soldiers, and designed-to conciliate the inhabitants of middle Tennessee who wish to return to their old allegiance. The Steamer Ruth, from St. Louis for Yicksburg with Government funds, was destroyed by fire Aug. 4 th, below Cairo. The paymaster, Maj or Green wait, three clerks, five soldiers, four negroes; and a num ber of other persons, passengers, making about thirty in all, perished. The government funds were also lost The fire is believed to be the work of an in cendiary hostile to the government It is since ascertained that the paymaster is safe.

Seymour has written a second letter on the draft in reply to the President. He is more dissat isfied than before, and insinuates that the national draft is worse than that of Jeff. Davis! Little confi dence will be placed in Gov. Seymour’s professions of intense regard to the Constitution by those who remember that in open day he addressed an outrage ous and bloody mob as his “ friends 1” Charleston.— The arrival of reinforcements has given new spirits to the troops on shore. The cor respondent of the Boston Herald, in a letter dated off Charleston, Aug. 2d, says that the new battery erected by General Gilmore on Morris Island is mounted by the largest guns ever oast in the North, It is stated that a grand attack by the land and naval forces was fixed for Saturday the Bth inst. Colonel Shaw, pf a Massachusetts colored regi ment, whose death was one of the results of the last assault upon Port Wagner, was as brave and loyal a man as ever raised an arm in his country’s .defence. When the place was tendered him by Governor An drew, he consulted his mother—“ Mother, shall I ac cept ?” “ Go, my son," said she, “ and though death should overtake you in doing what your country asks, I shall,still be proud of. my boy.” General Grant is a working man. Years ago he married in St. Louis, resigned his situation in the army, turned farmer, and drove his team into St. Louis with wood. Is his recent march, in May, he was three days on-foot, with his rations and baggage, leading his men, not being willing to delay until his horses should come up. •: M. Louis Gaussen. the companion of Merle D’Au bigne, and a distinguished Professor of the Theolo gical School ip Geueva, Switzerland, died June 18th. He was born in 1790, and, by his public ministry, his pen, and his professional instructions, has done much to advance throughout Europe the great canse of Evangelical truth. He was buried in the cemetery that contains the remains of Calvin. From Rebel Sources- —William L. Yancey, the pet . orator of the repels, and the most violent of Southern fire-eaters, died July 28tb, near Montgo gomery, Ala. Ployd, Mr. Buchanan’s perfidous Se cretary of War, was at the same time reported very: ill. Were they not .broken-hearted at the recent great great catastrophe to the rebel cause? At Atlanta, Ga.-, July 27, gold sold at auction at $11.75 to $12.11 for.ol. The rebel papers have a Teport of a victory at Donaldsonville, Lai, in which they claim to have captured six thousand of our men. ' ' :' ■ , " •" - Jeff Davis has-issued an *urgent ; appeal'to the Confederate officers and soldiers to return to their various camps and corps. He complains of a want of alacrity on the part of air classes in not coming forward in this most dismal hour of the South. The Richmond Examiner, August 6th Says, “There is no doubt but that Gen. Grant, immedi ately after the surrender of Yicksburg, reinforced Gen. Meade to the extent of 15,000 to 20,000 troops. The troops were sent on board transports at Yicks burg two. days after its fall, and arrived in the Chesa peake about' a fortnight, since. The sth U. S. Ar tillery, batteries B, and B. of. 16th Pennsylania, and the 32d Massachusetts-infantry, accompanied the reinforcing column, under command of Generals Smith and Kelley. “ Confederate” money is worth about 15 cents on the dollar of oar money. Foreign. Great Britain —The Daily Ifews says: . The Fourth of July will henceforth be as memora ble in the military annals of the American Union as it already is in the politfeatihistory of the people. It will be the anniversary of a double victory for the Union arms at the most critical centres of military activity in the East and the West. On the 4th of July Vicksburg surrendered to the Union forces under Gen. Grant, and the morning of the same day saw the invading army of the Confederates, under Gen. Lee, in full retreat toward the Potomac. It is certainly a singular and striking coincidence, that on the same day, and that, too, a day so memorable in American history, the great Confederate stronghold of the .Mississippi should have fallen, and the great Confederate invasion of the North have been aban doned as a failure. Reply of Gortsehakoff to the Note of the Four Powers. —The tenor of this reply, dated July Ist, since it has been divulged, is seen to be far from con ciliatory. The Prince denies the right of the Powers to intervene in the affairs of Russia’ under the treaty of 1815, declines to enter into a Congress upon the affairs of Poland, and refuses to grant an amnesty. He denies that the adoptiou of the measures pro posed by Great Britain would pacify Poland perma nently;- complains of the material.and moral assist ance obtained from abroad by the insurgents, of the calumnies against Russian soldiers in circulation, and asserts that “wherever the armed rebellion has striven to acquire subsistence, to give itself a visible head, it has been crushed.” He says the insurrection is not sustained by the masses, but principally by foreign elements. It is “a stage display, intended to act upon Europe” Diplomatic intervention is its only hope. The Czar will deal with the rebellion energetically. There can be no cessation of hostili-’ ties on his part until the insurgents throw down their arms and surrender to imperial clemency. This reply is deemed so unsatisfactory that ulte rior measures are believed to be in progressed the aspect of affairs is deemed threatening. Ticket-of-Leave-Men, i, e„ British convicts of out rageous character, part of whose term of imprison-- ment is remitted on condition of their abandoning the country, have arrived in considerable numbers at New York.- It is believed that some of them played a prominent part in the late riots. Two peculiarly hard characters were taken in custody upon their ar rival in New York, both of whom testified that their fare to this country had been paid in England, in one case by the Government itself. Advices to July 29th state that the rebel loan fell 18 to 20 per cent, in view of. the ’late reverses. It rallied again to 13 per cent discount, American se curities were from 5 to 9 per cent, better. The Lon don Times acknowledges, with a chastened modera tion, that, on the whole, it is seldom that intelligence has been received so gloomy to the rebel eause. Advices are via Queenstown to Aug. 2d.: The rebel loan was heavy at 17 to •15 discount. There had been a panic on the Polish affairs but it had subsided. The Army and Navy Gazette takes a most gloomy view of the military prospects of the Confederates. It says the retreat of General Bragg and the flight of General Johnson before General Sherman’s forces show sufficient signs of exhaustion. It adds:— “ Charleston is in real danger, and if its falls Sava- Bah follows.” Still it thinks that the Federal armies cannot be filled without a conscription which may palsy the North and wrest victory from her grasp.

Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or other material, and constructed substantially air-tight by the novel indention 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 they are needed. Iheyaretastefullymanufactured 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, i The Casketa 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 undersigued also offers to the public in gene ral, bis Patent Corpse Preserver, a New Invention, for the preservatipn of the bodies of deceased persons, by cold air alone, and without the application of ice, 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 ah process, the corpse will keep much longer than in the ordinary wav of pressing tne body down with from fifty to a hundred pounds of ice, and saturating it with water.
