described as sustaining a high character among his
countrymen. “ Resolute and open in all his dealings,
the sun had not set on the.great day of his spiritual
conflict, before he confessed Christ in the hearing of

heart in them number had surrendered to the Sa

little, circle, and I trust it may prove the occasion
of bringing others to a similar decision.’’ Rev. J. 8v

India.—AX Mynpurie, a church of 12 members
has recently been organized, and the head teacher
of the school, Babu Hulass Roy elected a ruling el
der. 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.
The intelligence recently received from the mission
aries of his Board is regarded as quite encouraging.

Gnat Britam, arid. 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.

THE RICHARDSON PREMIUM
BURIAL CASKETS.
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.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Eleven years ago I established the Institution
named above. Its uniform prosperity has warranted
me in making'hoime extensive improvement yearly.
We have now, in addition to English, Classical and
Mathematical Instruction, such military training,’ (in
troduced by my lamented son,) and such courses
of Literary Lectures and of Scientific Lectures, with
Experiments as jrould give entire satisfaction in any
University in onr country. J
In receiving into the number of our Professors,
the Rev; G. W. McPhail, D. D., with whom I was
closely and happily associated in early life, I did so
with a perfect knowledge of his extraordinary excel
lence. . •
Since this arrangement was made, I have received
letters of congratulation from Directors of Lafayette
College and others, one of which I here take the li
berty of giving to the public.
