Mission to the Freedmen. —We find in a newspaper of another church a report of the Chairman of the Committee of the recent Ge neral Synod, in regard to a Mission to the Freedmen. It appears he visited Washington and was courteously received; bnt no practical measures are yet adopted. When, the Board has anything of importance on this subject, we shall be happy to publish it. Miscellaneous. Remarkable Circumstance.— -On a recent Sab bath a venerable and respected farmer, in the parish of Kinneff, who has attained the great age of ninety three, sat down at the communion-table, in the parish church, and has done so regularly since his twentieth year. This was, consequently, the seventy-third time in so many years—-the sacrament being observed annually—that he has taken his place at the solemn ordinance. And it may be mentioned, that he was never absent on a Communion sabbath, and-never communicated elsewhere. Few places, indeed, can produce a case like this.— Aberdeen Journal. A Neglected Spot ia Massachusetts .—ln the June Home Missionary, Rev. Oyrus Stone, in giving some account of his labors at Beeehwood in Cohasset, says that until he went there a few months since, there had been no regular preaching for more than 200 years, though the place embraces a population of 600, m Oohasset and North Scituate. Very few of the people had attended, church anywhere during their lives. , la New York there is one church to every 2641 inhabitants; in Philadelphia, one to 2056; in Balti more, one to every 1249; in Boston, one to 1586. The number of Ohurches in New Ydrk is 305; in Philadelphia, 275; in Baltimore, 170; in Bostoa, 112; Brooklyn, N. Y., and Newark and‘Elizabeth, N. J., aw said to have one church to every 1000 inhabi tants . The' Dunkards.— The “ Dunkards" of Pennsyl vania, at their recent annual assembly at Morrison's Grove, referred the subject of conscription to a com mittee, which reported in favor of sustaining the' Government and obeying the laws, notwithstanding the non-resistant principles of the denomination. A resolution was recommended and adopted, thatevery member drafted, shall pay his commutation, and if he is not able, the expense shall be assessed on the members of the congregation.— Christian Chronicle. life of Admiral Foote —The Rev. Dr. Bacon of New Haven, has in preparation a life of the late Ad miral Foote, which will be published early in the Fall, This life is to be published with the authority of the Admiral's family, all of bis papers having been put at the disposal of Dr. Bacon for this purpose. Dr, Francis Wayland has made calculations showing that the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions does not receive annually as much as is spent in the city of New York for cigars. Could the money, thus uselessly spent, be devoted to the cause of Christ, no portion of the heathen world need be in spiritual darkness. The Lutheran Church at the South does not ap pear to be in a very prosperous condition. A Rich mond paper disoussing the propriety of holding the General-Conference appointed to meet at Concord, says: “With not a single plan projected for benevo lent operations, and not aline of Church or Sabbath school literature approved, we are to-day as powerless an organization as we were at the first moment of separation from the northern section of the Chnrch;” Thefiraffc .—The President of the American Peace Society (Rev. Dr. Howard Malcom) has two sons upon whom the recent, draft has fallen for ser vice in the army. One is Rev. Charles Howard Malcom, pastor of the Second Baptist Chnrch at Newport; and the other, Prof. Melville Malcolm of Philadelphia. Wo notice by The Providence Press that Mr, Malcota preached a sermon last Sabbath upon “The National Lot," in which he urged obedi ence and devotion to, the , Government ; and the edi tor remarks, in concluding his account of the services upon that occasion, “it is generally understood that Mr. Malcom will neither iufnish a substitute nor pay the $300.”- Watchman and Reflector. Rev. W. L. Breckinridge D-D We learn that this brother has escaped from rebeldom and arrived at Louisville, Ky., which is his present post-office address* Dr. B. has been known to be a loyaltnan ever since the rebellion first broke out, As Presi dent of Oakland College, Miss., he had the courage to say to the authorities of the institution that' he could not aid in the secession movement, as he Was 1 opposed to it, and that under the circumstances, he" wished to resign the Presidency of the College if his views, in the estimation of the Trustees, constituted an objection to his continnance, He was assured that it was desired that he remain in his place. He, did so until the College was suspended on account of the war. We .are glad to announce his return to the North) and we have no doubt that he will at once find a good field of labor.— Presbyterian. Hew Haven Conn. —Mr. Henry S. He Forest, a tutor in Yale College, and a graduate of the class of 1857, having been recently drafted intq the service of the country, and having determined not to seek release from the duty, was ordained as an evangelist on the 22d of August, in the hope that it might pro mote his nsefulnesß in the army; Western Churches and the War,—Out of one hundred and ten churches in Illinois, one-eighth of the members hare gone to the war. Out of one hun dred and sixty-nine churches in Wisconsin, five min isters have gone as chaplains; twenty-eight sons of ministers are in the ranks; fifty students of Beloit College; one in nine of all the church members are in the war. Out of forty-three churches heard from,' in Minnesota, one-seventh of the male members are in the army, among whom are eleven church officers' and seven sons of ministers. — Presbyterian. Rev. Prof. E. A. Park; of the Theological Semi nary at Andover, Mass., sailed on Saturday, the Ist last.,' from-New York for Bremen, to be absent some time on a tour in Europe. §stMst'u fjUnrg. ftfioQs Against Charleston.— The siege ■works of general Gilmore were in readiness August 13th, but the attack was postponed on account of some difficulty as to the quality of the army ammu nition, and owing to the serious indisposition of General Gilmore. This proved but temporary, and the siege from land and water was expected to esen on the 11th. A letter from the Editorof the Balti more American who was on board the Flag Ship Dinsmore, dated the 16th, says: The shore batteries in getting the range of their funs yesterday and the day before, knocked three oles in the walls of Sumpter. The general impres sion prevails that the rebels have evacuated Sumpter, and will blow it up as soon as the assault commen ces, Out of nearly thirty guns on the parapets ten days ago, but six now remain. Most of those in the casemates had previously disappeared. The rebels have e'rected a line of breast works a mile long ’ on James Island, from Fort Johnson to Secessionville, although they have few guns mounted yet. This is supposed to Be the destination of the guns from Fort Sumpter. Our picket boats around Sumpter report great activity among the rebels every night, with schooners, stekmeys, &c. I learn from the shore that the .rebels have piled _ sand-bags on the wharf in the rear of Sumpter against the rear wall 46 feeet high, completely protecting the magazine from the shore-batteries of General Gtlmore, There have been but two or three shots fired;-to-day, both parties observing the Sabbath. Charleston Haxbor-— Rebel advices to the 20th represent the fire of 200 pound Parrots from Morris Island “as too much for the walls of Fort Sumter,” the fort replying only at long intervals. All non combatants arc to be removed from Charleston, which will be defended, say the rebels, from street to street. But what if the 200 pound Parrots leave no streets to defend? Our own advices give the particulars of the-terrific bombardment which commenced August 17th. The monitors and gunboats kept the forts on Morris Island busy while our land batteries played on Fort Sumpter. The damage done to the walls is visible without a glass. Fleet Captain Rodgers and Pay master Woodbury in the Catskill were killed—the only victims of the bombardment on our side. Savannah- —The Port Royal New South has the following items: The rebel steamer Robert Haber sham, which had been watching onr advance move ments on the Savannah river, exploded her boiler, killing all the crew. The ram Savannah came down the river on the 10th, intending to run out to sea, but broke one of her engines, and had to put back. She is the mate of the Atlanta, already captured. A new rebel ram is building at Savannah. Several heavy guns have been sent from Savannah to Char leston. Gen. Mercer, commanding at Savannah is impressing one-fifth of the able-bodied slaves in Georgia, for work on the fortifications. Several con trabands have reached Fort Pulaski having escaped fuomSavannah. The South-west.—Onr forces ore active in exter minating and expelling the rebels from West Ten nessee. The first Alabama (Union) Cavalry are assisting in tlufwork. It is said that Bragg has lost 10,000 and Johnson one-third of his army by deser tion. The latter is between Brandon and Enterprise, in the south-east parts of Mississippi. Mortality of "White and Colored Troops Com pared-:—The immeasurable advantage ot sending colored troops to those parts of the South where the heat is so oppressive to white soldiers is emphatically shown by the lists of deaths in the Port Royal Hos pital from July Ist to August 4th. Of the white troops fifty-seven deaths are reported. Of the black soldiers only nine died during that period. Every colored volunteer of that number died of wounds received in battle, while of the white soldiers the causes of death were a 3 follows: typhoid fever, twenty-six; diarrhea, two; disease of the heart, one; consumption, one; jaundice, two; paralysis, one.; contusion, one; wounds, nine, and the rest died from causes not stated in the report. All of the black soldiers who died, save two, belonged to Massachu setts regiments. This is a most striking evidence of the power of the “Americans of African descent” to stand a climate which almost at once prostrates northern white men, and consigns them to early graves.- In the Department of the Gulf, where white and Colored are serving together, and equally exposed to malarious influences, the proportion of sick from diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid fevers, &c., is twelve times as great among the whites as among the colored. The same fact is observed in the reports of the British army for 1859, from whiehit appears, that in Jamaica the ratio of mortality was 100 whites to 8 colored; in the Bahamas, 150 whites to 54 colored; while in Sierra Leone the disproportion was so enormous as to show 410 deaths of white soldiers to 2colored.' Every principle of expediency, jus tice, and humanity, therefore, calls for the employ ment of this class of our citizens in our southern armies. -7 Army of the Cumberland —Parson Brownlow writes to tho Press under date of August 17, that Burnside is marching upon Knoxville, Tenu., at the head of a heavy force of cavalryand mounted infantry, and that he will have his head-quarters there in a few days. He' says that the Grand Jury at Nashville have found three hundred indictments for treason and conspiracy against leaders of the rebellion in that Stated-including several clergymen. Two of the captured crew of the Atlanta escaped from Fort Warren a few days since, by crawling over the ramparts when the sentries were on duty. By swimming , and seizing a fishing yacht, they , made some progress towards escaping but were overhauled and captured by the cutter Dobbin Aug. 21st. Burning of Lawrence, Ks.— Quantrell the Mis souri guerilla taking advantage of what seems a culpable negligence on the part of „the. military authorities of that section, entered Lawrence on the 20th with 800 men, met with ho resistance and plundered and murdered itrthemosthorrible manner. It is computed that 180 persons were killed: and wounded, the majority being killed instantly. Many of them were sitting in their houses amoDg their families. , Twenty-five negro recruits were shot.— Houses were burned over the heads of the wounded. Private dwelling, banks, and females were robbed. The loss is $2,000,000. Items.—The Draft was re-commenced, in New York City August 19th, after a delay of little more than a month.; Perfect order prevailed.—The stories of desertion and insubordination in Lee’s army are frequent and seemingly truthful. Whole companies go at a time, and the Blue ridge is said to swarm with rebels deserting with arms iu their hands.— Conscripts for the rebel army are being gathered close to our lines in Mississippi, and West Tennesee.— Banks’ army is said to be in “summer, quarters.” It is too hot to move. Prices have fallen in New Or leans from one-half to one-third of the former figures, since the opening of-, the Mississippi.—The draft is proceeding peacefully in/New York City.—Major Morris of the 6th Pa. Cavalry of this city, grand son of Robert Morris died in Libby Prison Rich mond, on the 29th. Foreign. Mexico. —Dates from the capital to July 22nd, have been received wo San Francisco. The French-Mexican newspapers urge the recog nition of the Southern Confederacy. They state that France will recognize it. Mexican Jealousy and prejudice is being provoked against the United States; The Government paper says the Northern States are. in favor of Juarez, while the Confederates: are for aMexicau Monarchy, and everything looks to the immediate recognition of the Confederacy by Mexico. -The guerillas were fighting,on the road leading to the city of Mexico. The Mexicans make no prisoners, but slay all they capture. They wage a war of extermination. Numerous assassinations have taken place at the capital of persons sympathiz ing with the; French. The Triumvirate. Government was daily imprisoning and snooting persons who re fused to take the oath of allegiance to the Empire. Mexicanahave been publicly flogged for refusing to supply quarters to French officers. One Mexican lady, named Rubia, had received two hundred lashes for refusing to receive French officers into her house. Her husband offered to pay a fine equal to her weight in silver rather than submit to this indignity, but Gen. Forey insisted on making an example of her. The foreign ■ ministers bad declined to remove to San Luis, on the offer of Juarez to protect their transit. . Great Britain.— lt has been found neceessary to deny formally that the draft going on in the North is aimed at Great Britain. The London Morning Post having repeated the statement of the New York Herald, that the Federal conscription is avowedly a menace to England, the Globe announces, apparently upon authority,ithat no; authentic intelligence has been received giving the assertion the slightest assurance of probability. Boland, Russia and the three Powers.— The London Times says: “It is saidthatthe three Powers have agreed to send a Commissioner to Russia, to be.a'ccompamed byseperate dispatches frbin each of their respective representatives, and unless Rus sia.makes some signof yielding, a diplomatic rupture will be announced as impending. In the common note, whatever course the mere forms of negotiation may take, the reality consists in a growing but not very threatening antagonism between France and ’Russia, which will leave England a neutral, though not an unsympathizing spectator. An iron-clad for Russia, building in England, had been harried off to, Russia incomplete, in view of eventualities; : Prance and Mexico.— Rome July 29—The Arch duke Maximilian of Austria has sent the Pope a copy of the Emperor Napoleon’s letter, requesting him to accept the throne gf Mexico, if chosen by popular-'suffrage. The Archduke has infortded the Pope that he is greatly disposed to accept the offer, and that in going to Mexico religious interests will largely occupy his attention. The Court of Rome is well satisfied with the prospect. Latest—Tuesday. Fuller but not later, details from Charleston, rep resent the walls of Fort Snmpter as crumbling into ruins under the well-directed fire of our land batter ies, aided by two of the monitors, The fleet had silenced Battery Wagner. Our entire power, says Admiral Dahlgren, was not yet developed, while the enemy were suffering damages which they could not repair. The advance of Gen, Rosecrans’ army arrived before Chattanooga on the 21st, and opened a de structive fire on the town.—Joint cavalry expeditions from Memphis and Vicksburg met at Grenada Miss, on the 18th. where the rebels had gathered the loco motives and cars run from Jackson. To prevent them JVwmfati fiwlnileriiut and aup list. falling into our hands the rebels destroyed 57 loco motives and 400 cars. Seventy-seven locomotives and 600 cars have been destroyed as the result of the Yicksbnrg campaign. IT. S.

Jfjaffc Ox& the Death of MrL Eliza R. Newell*—When a Christian dies there is a consolation left to the afflicted fami ly and friends, that a transfer from this sublunary world to one of eternal bliss, where tiere are no sorrows or death; it may be said with'truth that our 4 loss is her gain. In the death of the loved one, the subject of this memento, who died on Sunday morning, the 2d itist., after a short illness, it is a mournful, yet melancholy, pleasure to bring into review— which in some measure alleviates the pangs, of sorrow—by dwelling on the many virtue* of the deceased as a bright ex ample of female character. | . . : . She was a Christian, and abonsistent Christian, as demon strated in her every, day wall of life, and as beautifully ex pressed by her, pastor, Rev. A. Barneß, in his address before interment, of whose church she was a communicant. She was noted for her intelligent® and well-educated mind, with treat suavity of manners, anil lady-like deportment in every epartment of life, but showhtmost conspicuously in the home circle, of which she was tic center, of attraction, always cheerful and buoyant, welcoming her loved husband and fami ly to their well-regulated domicile 5 if any inquietude were depicted on the countenance,[she was quick to detect it, un obtrusive at the moment, but by her kind words, timely ex pression, and cheerful acting, most effectual to divert the mind and restore it to its wonted channel. She was a pattern in her [domestic arrangements, always systematic, never oppressive br unnecessarily exacting in her requirements from those under her control, and by her kind nesßand consideration won their respect and esteem; as a daughter from youth upwards was.exemplary, dutiful; as a wife never excelled, always making home welcome and a happy one; as a mother, leaving an only son, husband, and three interesting grand-children. To these her affections were largely developed, always ready to respond to their wishes and anticipate their wants; as a friend and neighbor, she was highly appreciated, fad her intercourse marked by kindness and courtesy. To tpe poor she was kind and consi derate, never upbraiding or fault-finding, and when contri buting to their wants, truly did it with a peculiar feeling and delicacy of manner. v She has gone, and now, reaping her reward, after a well spent life of usefulness, and in an eminent degree discharging all the relations in life, leaving a void in her family circle better conceived than described. None knew the deceased better than the writer of thip paragraph, and truly sympa thizes with the bereaved husband, family and friends, trusting that this affliction may be sanctified and be effectual to their everlasting welfare. i * - August 14th, 1883.

Church, Cincinnati, and late Assistant AdjutantOeneral on the Staff of Gen. Biickland. With an Introduction, by Rev. ALEXAN • DER CLARK, Editor of the School Visitor. This is one of the most thrilling accounts of adventure and suffering that the war has produced. Capt. Geer was wounded and captured at the great battle of Shiloh-tried before several prominent Rebel Generals for his life, among whom were Hai> dee, .Bragg, and Beauregard—incarcerated in four jails, four penitentiaries, and twelve military prisons; escaped, from Ma con, Georgia, and travelled barefoot through swamps and woods, by night, for 250 miles, wae fed by negroes, in part, and subsisted for days at a time on frogs, roots, and berries, and was at last recaptured when within thirty-five miles of our gun-boats on the Southern coast. t The particulars'of his subsequentsuffering as a chained cul prit are told with a graphic truthfulness that surpasses any fiction. • # The work contains a fine portrait of the author, besides nu merous wood engravings illustrative of striking incidents of his experience among the rebels. Every.Unidnisfc—every lover of his country—-every man, woman, and child should read thiß Book op Facts as they actually Occchhed. The auther has not only succeeded in making a narrative of exciting interest, but has ingeniously interwoven in this book many original and eloquent arguments in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war against Rebellion and Oppression.

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 whieh they 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 t localities for interment, and are not liable to the ob jections frequently made by Railroad Companies, when offeree! 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 undersigned 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 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 air process, the corpse will keep much longer than in the ordinary way of pressing the body down with from fifty to a hundred pounds of ice, and saturating it with water.
