Later dates from India represent that three converts from Mohammedanism were baptized at Futtebgurh oh the 10th of May ; at Mynpurie, two daughters of native church members, were received into the full cummunion of the church on the first Sabbath in June; two converts from Hinduism,' and also two children of one of them, were baptized at Ambala in May—making seven adults • and four children admitted into the church at that station in the last fifteen months; at Kapurthala an adult and an infant were to be baptized on the 31sfc of May.

Chma.— The backwardness, not to say unfriendliness, offthe British Government in all matters connected with Protestant missions in' Chiba is exciting general regard. The authorities are throwing off the mask. Sir Frederick Bruce, H. M. Plenipotentiary in China, has written to Earl Russell on the .subject. In his letter it is stated: “ That experience hasclearly proved the failure of Protestant missionary enterprise! as at present con ducted j” and in another place it is said: “ The ,tes timony of missionaries is unanimous that the Chinese are not prepated to make sacrifices for their reli gioui convictions, though the,descendants of Christ ians [Roman CafhbUcsf\ do adhere with consider able pertinacity to a hereditary &ith.” • The reply from the Foreign-office is signed by Earl Russell, and is to the following effect:— ■•“ Sib, —H. M, Government approve your views with regard to missionary effortein China, as re ported in yonr despatch of the Ist of June. The injustice done to Protestant missionaries and their Chinese converts, by this summary mode Of treatment, has called forth rejoinders from the friends of missions in China and England. It appears that in 1837' there were but (iwo or three native eon verts; while at the present time it is believed there are no fewer than 1500. ’ At Hong-Kong, twenty one were baptized in nine months of 1861-62. The Basle missionary society has 64 converts there.' Aronnd Canton, native Protestant Christians have been persecuted and one has Buffered martyrdom. More than 100 converts remain firm in the immedi ate vicinity. In another part of the province (Chong lok) 100 have lately been baptized. At Fo-une near Canton, a converted chair-bearer preached the gos pel to his friends, 10 .or 12 of whom were converted. AtSwatow, Amoy and surrounding localities there are 700 native Christians, In this vicinity too, a convert has been savagely beaten and his associates persecuted. At Ningpo. the, converts are believed to maintain their principles - to the number of over 100, and this, notwithstanding the rebellion has scat tered the mission. The number of native converts in and. aronnd Shanghae is considerable. Mr. Pectj of Fuh-chan, reports the organisation/ of a Church, with seven members, at Changloh, a place which has been occupied for a short time as an out station of the mission. . » These facts illustrate the dense ignorance and prejudice under which the highest British officials are content to live and act.' It seems to be almost ah established point in British policy towards heathen countries to encourage heathenism and resist the in troduction of the, gospel, until the outcry of indigo nant churches at home cotnpels a change. The President’s Tetter to his Friends.— The following is President Lincoln’s letter to the Springfield (Illinois) Mass* Meeting:—' Executive Mansion, Washington, August 28th, 1863.—H0n. Jambs 0. GOnkling:— My Dear Sir— Your letter inviting me to attend a mass meeting of unconditional Union men, to be held at the capital of Illinois on the 3d day of September, has been re ceived. ' It would he very agreeable to me thus to meet my old friends at my own home, but I cannot just now be absent from this city so long as a yisit there would require. The meeting is to be of all those 1 who main tain unconditional devotion to the Union, and I am sure that my old political friends will thank me for tendering, as I do, the nation’s gratitude to those other noble men whom r no partisan malice or parti san hope can make false to the nation’s life. ; There are those who are dissatisfied with me. To such I would say, “You desire, peace, and you blame me that we do not have it.*’ But how can we attain it? There are bat three conceivable ways:— First. To suppress the Bebellion by force of arms. This lam trying to do. Are you for it? If you are, so far we are agreed. If you are not for it, we are not agreed. A second way is to give up the Union. lam against this. If you are, you should say so plainly. If you are not for force, nor yet for dissolution, there only remains some imaginary com promise. Ido not believe that any compromise em bracing the maintenance of the Union is now pos sible. All that I learn leads to a directly opposite belief. The strength of the rebellion is its military, its army. That army dominates ail the country, and all the peo ple within its range. Any offer of terms made by any man or men within that range, in opposition to that army, is simply nothing for the present; because such man or men have no power whatever to enforce their side of the compromise, if one were made with them. To illustrate—suppose a refugee from ’ the South and the peace men of the North get together in convention and frame and proclaim a compromise embracing the restoration of the Union, in what way can that compromise be used to keep General Lee’s army out of Pennsylvania? General Meade’s army can keep Lee’s army out of Pennsylvania, and I think can ultimately drive it out of existence; but no paper compromise to which the controllers of General Lee’s army are not agreed can at all affect that army. In an effort at such compromise we would waste the time, which' the enemy would im prove to our disadvantage, and that would be all. , A compromise, to be effective, must be made either with those who control the rebel army, or with the people, first liberated from the domination of that army by the success of our army. , Now allow me to assure you that no word or inti mation from! the rebel army or from any pf the men. controlling it, ; in relation to any peace compromise, has ever come to my knowledge or belief. All charges and intimations to the contrary are decep tive and groundless, and I promise you, that if any such proposition shall hereafter come, it shall not be rejected and kept secret from you. I freely acknow ledge myself to be the servant of the people accord ing to the bond of service, the United States Oonsti tutioo, and that as such I am responsible to them. But, to be plain, you are dissatisfied with me about the negro. . Quite likely there is a difference of opi nion between j*ou ana myself on that subject. I certainly wish that all men could be fiee, while you, 1 suppose, do not. Yet, I have neither adopted nor proposed any measnre which is not consistent with even your views, provided yon are for the Union. I suggested compensated emancipation, to which you replied that you wished not to be taxed to buy negroes. But I had not asked you to bo taxed to buy negroes, except in such a way as to save you from greater taxation to save the Union exclusively by the other means. Yon dislike the Emancipation Proclamation, and perhaps you want to have it re, tractcd. You say it is unconstitutional. I think differently. I think that the Constitution invests the Commander-m-Ghief with the law of war in time of war. The most that can be said, if so much, is, that slaves are property. Is there, has there ever been any question that by the law of war the property both of enemies and friends may be taken when needed, and is it not needed whenever, taken, it helps us or hurts the ene my? Armies the world over destroy enemies’pro perty when they cannot use it, and even destroy their own to keep it from the enemy. Civilized bel ligerents do all in their power to help themselves or hurt the enemy, except a few things regarded as 1 barbarous or oruel. , Among the exceptions are the massacre of vanquished foes and non-combatants, male and female. . But the proclamation, as law, is valid or is not valid. If it is not valid it needs no retractiop. If it is valid it cannot be retracted any more than the dead-can'be brought to life. Some of you profess to think that its retraction would, operate favorably for the Union. Why better after the re traction than before the issue ? , There was more than a year and a half for trial to suppress the rebellion 1 before the proclamation : was issued; the last one hundred-days of which passed under an explicit notice that it was coming unless averted by those in revolt returning to their allegi ance. The war has Certainly progressed Os favor ably for Us since, the issue of the proclamation as before. I know as fully as ,o‘ne can knew the opini ons of otherd, that some of the commanders of our armies in the field who have given us. our most im portant victories, bejieve the emancipation policy and the aid of colored troops constitute the heaviest blows yet dealt to the rebellion; and .that at least One of those important successes could hot have been achieved when it was, bat,for. the aid of black 'soldiers. Among the commanders ‘ holding these are some who have never had any affinity with what is called Abolitionism, or with.the Republican.party politics, but who hold them purely as military opi nions, I submit their opinions as being entitled to some weight against the objections often urged that emancipation and the arming of blacks are unwise as military measures, and were not adopted as such in good faith. You say that you will not fight to free negroes. ‘Some of them seem to be willing to fight for you; but no matter—fight you, then, ex clusively, to save the Union. I issued the proclamation, on purpose to aid you in saving the lJn|on. .Whenever .you shall have con quered all resistance to the Union, if ! shall urge you to continue fighting, it will be an apt time for fon to declare that you will not fight to free negroes. thought in yonr struggle for the Union, to what ever extent the negroes should cease helping, the' enemy, to ; that extent it weakened the enemy in his resistance to you. Do you think differently? I' thought that whatever negroes can be got to do as soldiers, leaves just so mnch less for white soldiers to do in saving the Union. Does it appear other wise to you? But negroes, like other people, act upon motives. Why should they do anything for ns if we will donothing for them ? If they stake their lives for ns,"they must be prompted by the strongest motives—even the promise of freedom; and the pro mise being made, most be. kept-- p . The signs look better. ! The father of waters again goes unvexed to the sea ; thanks to the great Nort hwest forit ; nor yet wholly to them. Three hundred miles up they met New England, the* Empire, the Keystone and New Jersey, hewing their way right' and left. The sunny South, too, in more colors than one, also lent a hand; on the spot, their part of the history was jotted down 'in black and white. The job was a greafnational one, andlet none be banned who bore' an honorable part in it, white those who have cleared the great river may well be proud. ' Even this is not all. ■lt is hard to say that any thing has been more bravely and better done than at Antietam, Murfreesboro’, Gettysburg, anil’on many fields of less note. Nor must Uncle Sam’s web-feet be forgotten.; At all the water’s margins, they, have been present, not only on the deep sea,'the broad bay and the rapid river, bat also up the narrow, muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their ..tracks. Thanks to.sll * For the..great Republic—for. the principles by. which it lives and keeps alive—for man’s Vast future;:thanks to all! . Peace does not seem so far distant as it did. I hope, it will come soon, and come to stay, and so come as to be worth the ’ keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that among freemen there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case and pay the cost; and then there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue and clenched teeth, and steady eye and well-poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation, while I fear, that there will be some white men unable to forget that, with malignant heart and deceitful speech, they have striven to hinder it. Still, let us not be Over sanguine of a speedy triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently apply , the means,-never doubting that a -just God; in His own good time, will give us the rightful result. Yours, very truly, , A, Lincoln. I am, &c.,' &c.” Siege of Charleston.— On Monday Aug. 31, the iron clads opened on Port Moultrie, and were replied to by Moultre, by a battery on Sullivan’s Island, by Wagner and Bragg. Fort Sumter waB silent. ,A ; correspondent of the Tribune says, Sept Ist. Wagner will be held to the last moment, and ‘no thing, it is said, but want of water will compel her to surrender. The dead lie so thickly around, her: walls that the water from the.shallow wells cannot be drank., l£ compelled by thirst; some of the soldiers are-so' imprudent as to swallow it, the next day they are’ in the hospitals, and before the close of the Week many of them in .their graves. Brave attempts have been made to supply the garrison from Charleston, but thus far onlya small quantity has been furnished. Only at midnight, or under cover of some dense fog in the morning, have any vessels been known to reaebpem for the past eight days. 'We are now with in 100 yards of Fort Wagner. At the distance of 2000,yards, ,the fifteen ana eleven inch 1 shell of the monitors seem to have but little effect upon sand embankments, and seldom penetrate more than seven or eight feet. The bomb-proofs of Wagner being co vered with nearly thirty feet of sand and "timber, it is but a waste' Of ammunition to fire at so great a dis tance. If we can believe the rfeports of deserters and prisoners, not one of our shot s have yet penetra ted any of the bomb-proofs by .direct fire. , " *■ Destruction of tlte Captured Vessels.— General Kilpatrick; Who was sent out to "co-operate with the navy in an,effort to re-capture the gunboat Satellite and tug Reliance which fell into the hands of the rebels recently, reached Port Conway on the north side of the‘Rappahannock on Tuesday, Sept. Ist, the enemy retreating hastily on his appearance. After waiting'two hours for the' naval 1 vessels, which were detained .by' low water at Tunkhannock, Geni Kil patrick ordered a battery to open fire upon the gun boats Reliance aniSatellite. This was done at the distance of 650 yards. The enemy immediately abandoned the gunboats, very fortunately for'them selves, for only a few moments elapsed before the Sdtdlite was in a sinking condition, and theßeli ance rendered useless. Both boats were completely riddled by 'shot and shell. The force under Kilpat rick consisted entirely of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery. The Satellite is sunk, and the Reliance so completely disabled as to be beyond hope of being repaired by the rebels. ; Elections- —The State election in Vermont took place Sept. Ist. The Union party of course have swept the State. The Senate is unanimously union. Well done Wilmington! The city election,-held there on Saturday, resulted in the most utter defeat that the Northern disloyalists have yet experienced. The Union mayor and every administration candi date, including the treasurer, assessor, alderman, and inspectors, was elected, the Union'party car rying every ward and precinct in the city. The city council is unanimous, all the democratic candidates having been defeated. !

Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or other materia!, and constructed substantially air-tight by the novel invention of patent Circular Ends, with out any joints, making it impossible for oxygen to per mitfiit e from the outside, thus rendering them more durable, and better adapted to the purposes for which 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, arid sympathizing friend. " , The Caskets when required, are made air-tight, emitting no offensive odor, and hence are specially valuable, m the removal of deceased,bodies from any of the battle fields, and other distant points to remote localities fori 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 juried, 1 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, for 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, ana saturating it with water.
