in Union Seminary, N. Y., made vacant by the death
of Dr. Robinson. Dr. Shedd is a gifted man. His
capabilities as a theologian, a philosopher, and a
sermonizer are unusually great. It was in, our
church, we believe, in Auburn Seminary, that he
commenced hia career as a Theological Professor.
We have no doubt his presence among the corps of
professors at Union will add strength and attractive
ness to that splendid institution, though it will also
maintain the somewhat eclectic character of its theo
ibgy. Dr. Shedd is decidedly “ Old School,” on some
points of the system. He is, however, liberalized in
the best sense of the word, by his philosophy, and his
branch is not directly theological.
NewChuroh in New Nork.—The new church
edifice in Fifty-fifth Street, near Lexington Avenue,
has been purchased through the kindness of several
well-known citizens, for a place of worship for the
residents of that section of the city. . The, lecture
room is large and commodious. It will be opened
for stated worship upon the second Sabbath in Sep
tember. The services will be conducted by clergy
men of the Third Presbytery. The general audience
room of the church, it is hoped, will be completed at
an early day. It will make one of the most substan
tial edifices in our city.— Evangelist.

love of indolence and penuriotianess exert their in

Synod of lowa- —This body met in the early
part of the month at Cedar Falls, 100 miles west of
Mississippi. Secretary Mills was in attendance.
Resolutions earnestly recommending labor liberality
and prayer for education were passed. It was re
solved to employ a Synodical Home Missionary at a
salary of $6OO, and expenses paid. The'Presbytery
Reporter was recommended to the chnrches; and a
periodical such as is suggested page 260 of the As
sembly’s Minutes, was approved.

Siege of Charleston* —Good progress is now
making in the redaction of this centre and nest of
rebellion. Morris Island, with Forts Wagner and
Gregg have fallen into our hands.- While Sumpter
stood unharmed, and could command the position; it
wonld have availed little for us to have occupied
those forts; but that obstacle being virtually re
moved, they are of immense value. The rebel reports;
by which! we first were made acquainted with the
facts, are as follows:
Ohablestoh, Sept. 6.— The bombardment was
kept up without intermission all day yesterday, and
far into the night. About ISO of our men were
killed and wounded in Batteries Wagner add Gregg.
The attempt to assault Gregg was repulsed before
the enemy had completed their landing. Great
havoc is supposed to have been played in the enemy’s
boats by our grape and cannister. . .
,At dark, on Wednesday evening, the enemy hav
ing advanced their sappers up to the very moat of
Wagner, and it being impossible to hold the island
longer, General Beauregard ordered the evacuation,
which yum executed between 8 P. M., and 1 A M.,
with success. We spiked the guns of Wagner, and
Gregg, and withdrew noiselessly, in forty barges.
Only one barge, containing twelve men was captured.
The enemy now holds Cumming’s Point, in full view
of the city. All is quiet this morning.
WHY THE SHEMUNG OP THE CITY WAS SUSPENDED.
After such a startling performance as the sucees
ful Shelling of Charleston at the distance of five
miles, the public have been puzzled to understand
the apparent self-control of Gen. Gillmore in suspend
ihat operation, so satisfactory to the loyal North.
It is said that the muzzle of his 800 pound Parrot
was broken off, and no other gun would achieve the
marvellous feat. A correspondent of the Boston
Journal says:
The reason why Gen. Gillmore did not continue
his bombardment of Charleston with the “ Greek fire”
shells, was because the shells sent were ignited on
the percussion principle, and being discharged from
a gun elevated at an angle of thirty-eight degrees,
took their flight at the same angle, with a longitudi
nal rotary motion, base downward, and therefore
struck base downward instead of upon the percussion
end, and did not explode. Only two are known to
have exploded—one which'fell into a warehouse and
another which fell in a street. Time fuses which
will set matters all right, were at once sent for, and
have doubtless arrived at Morris Island before this,
and very likely Charleston is at'this moment expe
riencing the dreadful effects of a shower of “Greek
fire" shells, fifteen hundred of which have been
ordered for the bombardment of that nest 'of treason.
The gun from which the shells were first fired was
a 200-ponnder Parrot, which can throw a shell no
less than seven miles, when aimed at an angle of
forty-five degrees. The first shells went over
Charleston, the gun being aimed at too sharp an
angle. Our readers will be pleased to learn that
Gen. Gillmore has no less than (thirty-Parrot gabs
m minted that will throw shells plump into Charleston.
Also, that the use of Greek fire shells to bombard
thal rebel' stronghold was personally ordered by
President Lincoln. The Greek fire burns for twenty
minutes. It will burn on the water as well as on
land, and each shell covers a surface ofone hundred
square feet with flame. The shell bursts, into about
rthnndred and tbirty'pieces, or ten times as many
Hhe ordinary shell. Of course the effect of theee
nells will be to set Charleston in flames, which
►thing can subdue.
The correspondent of a New York paper says:
“The rebels have little fear of the Monitors, but
run to cover like sheep at every discharge of the
Ironsides
Another, describes the bombardment alluded to
in the rebel despatches as so effective. He says:
In accordance with an order given the previous
day, fire was opened on Fort MTagder irom all our
batteries, breaching and defensive, yesterday morn
ing at daylight. The naval battery, which could not
well fire upon Wagner, directed its gun towards
Battery Gregg. The fire from our batteries was
rapid and effective, and the range being obtained, we
moured into that work a stream of projectiles such as
hever before were brought to bear upon any sand
battery. The results were most encouraging. Our
heavy rifle projectiles ploughed through the parapets
of the rebel work and plunged deeply into the cover
ing of the huge bomb proof, which they exploded,
and threw high in the air immense quantities of sand.
The firing was at short range and very accurate.
Not one shot out of ten failed to be effective. At
times two or three shells would strike together, and
the gleams of fire, the volumes of smoke, and the
tons of sand that shot quickly up, and then rolled off
in dingy clouds, gave the immense mound covering
the bomb-proof an appearance not unlike that of a
miniature volcano in full irruption. The rebels
attempted to make some defence in the early mo
ments of the bombardment, and for a while fired
rapidly and spitefully their cannister and grape,
shrapnel and shells; but they eould not stand to
their guns. The fort' gleamed with the fires of
exploding_ shells, and instant death awaited the
bold spirits who dared to face our guns. In a
half an hour the fort became silent. Not a shot was
again fired from it doring the day, and not a living
being showed himself above the parapet, or indeed
outside the bomb-proof.
Early in the morning the noble frigate New Iron-
Sides steamed up to a position off the fort and open
ed her immense batteries on the work. Two or three
of her 11-inch shells were in the air or exploding
within the fort at once. Such a furious fire was
never kept np by her before. From daylight until
dark her guns were in full play, and Wagner smoked
like a coalpit from the bursting shells.
At dark all but two of- the breaching batteries
ceased firing. Two heavy rifles and seventeen mor
tars were still in play, and continued their fire
during the entire night. Professor's Grant's calcium
lights were placed well forward, and threw upon the
breach of the bomb-proof a brilliant stream of light,
which made every portion of the rebel works as plainly
and clearly defined as it could b* under the full rays of
the noonday sun. Not a mouse could have made a
move outhat furrowed mound and escaped detection.
Our guns were easily aimed, and not a rebel, it is
said made his appearance near the work during the
entire night. Indeed, to have done so he would
have been a fortunate one to escape the shells from
our guns or our sharpshooters’ rifle balls. The
firing of the night was very accurate, and consider
ably reduced the size of the bomb-proof.
The official dispatch of Gen. Gilmore to Gen.Hal
leck is dated Sept. 7th, and is as follows s’...
General I have the honor to report that Fort
Wagner and Battery Gregg are ours. Last niglit
, our sappers crowned the crest of the counterscarp of
Fort Wagner, on the sea front, masking all it 3 guns,
an order was issued to carry the place by assault at
9 o’clock this morning, that being the hour of low
tide. About 10 o’clock last night the enemy com
menced evacuating the island, and all but seventy
five of them made their escape from Cummings' Point
in small boats. Captured despatches show that Fort
Wagner was commanded by Col. Kcitt, of South
Carolina, and garrisoned by 1,400 effective men, and
Batterv Gregg by between one and two hundred.
Fort Wagner is a work of the most formidable kind.
Its bomb-proof shelter, capable of containing 1,800
men, remains intact, after the most terrific bombard
ment to which any work was ever subjected.
We have captured nineteen pieces of artillery and
a large supply of excellent ammunition. The city
and harbor of Charleston are now completely cover
ed by my guns.
I have the honor to be, General, very respectfully
your obedient service.
Q. A. GILMORE, Brig. Gen’l Com’g.
Gen. Blunt’s Bold Expedition through the
Indian Territory, accomplished in the* face of* a
largely superior force of rebels, has proved a very
great success, as the following despatch shows:
Foot Gibson. Indian Territory, Aug. 29, via
Leavenworth, Sept. 5.-~Gen, Blunt with his army,
4500 strong, including twenty pieces of artillery,
crossed the Arkansas river Aug. 22d, and offered
battle to the rebel Gens. Steele and Cooper who had
massed on his front 11,000 men. After a faint show
of resistance, the enemy commenced a retreat, which
soon turned into a disorderly flight. They abandoned
all their property. Blunt pursued them a hundred
miles south of the Arkansas, to Perryville, which is
only fifty miles from the Red river. At this -point
he captured and destroyed their commissary depot.
They continued their flight to Boggy Depot, on Red
river. The Indian Terrritory is now clear of rebels.
Blunt is marching on Fort Smith, which will doubt
less‘fall without a struggle.
A decision on the Constitutionality of the
Conscription act —ln the IT. S. District Court, in
this city, Sept. 9th, Judge Cadwalader delivered an
opinion on the powers of the Board of Enrollment,
under which the whole Conscription act came inci
dentally under review:
It is decided that under the Constitution giving
the power to raise armies, &c., which is distinct from
the control over the militia, Congress had the right
to pass the Conscription bill, and the act is therefore
clearly constitutional.
Judge Cadwalader however decides that:
The provisions of the 14th section of the act re
quiring the presentation by drafted' persons of all
claims of exemption to the Board of Enrolment and
making the Board’s decision final, do not in the
ease of an'exempt whose claim of exemption has
been duly presented to the Board, and disallowed,
preclude the subsequent consideration under a writ
of habeas corpus, of the question of his right of ex
emption.
Battle Of White Sulphur Springs —This en
gagement was fought towards the close of last month,
by Gen. Averill with a superior force of rebels under
Gen. Jones. Cur forces had been on an expedition
through Hardy, Pendleton, Pochohontas, and Green
brier Counties, Ya., driving the rebels before them,
until they reached the Spring in the last named
county. Gen. Averill says:
The battle lasted during two days. We drove
the enemy from his first position, but want of ammu
nition, and the arrival, on the second day, of three'
regiments to reinforce the enemy, from the direction
whence the eo-operation of Gen. Scammon had been
promised, decided me to withdraw,
, Our loss in killed and wounded was over 100;
that of the enemy was probably as great. General
Averill brought 30 prisoners into Huttonsviile. 'He
also destroyed a saltpetre works and a rebel camp,
with a large amount of stores, arms and equipments.
Occupation of Chattanooga —Our army, under
Roseerans, has for some time been making flank
demonstrations upon Chattanooga above and below.
It appears that Boseerans’ manoeuvres are quite,as
skilful and effective as his pitched battles. He
forced the evacuation of Tullahoma by flank move
ments and now the boasted stronghold Chattanooga
has fallen without a blow. The despatch which
announces the evacuation comes from Headquarters
near Trenton Ga., Sept 9th. The enemy moved
eastward. Gen. Crittenden entered the place next
day.
At length we have gained one of the most coveted
objects of the war—second to the capture of Charles
ton, —the'reclamation of East Tennessee from rebel
rule. A dispatch from Knoxville Sept., 6th, says:
We are in full possession of East Tennessee,
having accomplished a great, though bloodless vic
tory. The campaign was skilfully planned and
magnificently executed. Such was the rapidity of
our movements that the rebels were taken unawares,
and fled before us without destroying the property
At London they attempted to hold the bridge, but
the impetuosity of the 20th Tennessee Regiment
.broke them to fragments. Three steamboats, three
locomotives, and a large number of cars were cap
tured there. The whole march of our army was a
perfect ovation, and our entry into Knoxville an
event long to be remembered. Thosands of people,
of every age, size, color, and condition, lined the road,
and greeted us with cheers. General Burnside ad
dressed his soldiers and the people, assuring the latter
of his protection, and saying that while justice should
be dealt, revenge is no part of the policy of the Gov
ernment.
Glorious Dispatches from Burnside and Rose
crans. —The following official report from Gen;
Burnside, concerning the capture of Cumberland
Gap, has been received at headquarters:
Cumberland Gap, Sept. 9,1863.— To Major Gene
ral Halleek, I have telegraphed
you of our movements up to the occupation of Knox
ville by our forces. Since then a cavalry force has
been sent up the .railroad to within a few miles of
Bristol capturing some three locomotives and twenty
odd cars.
Another force, composed of two regiments of
infantry and two of cavalry, I brought to this place
in person to reinforce Gen. Shackleford, jvho was
here,with two regiments of cavalry, Col. De Coursey
fjwtwxti ffjeshgtmiiu aufl fmanpliiSt.
being on the Kentucky side, with a brigade which I
started in that direction before leaving Kentucky.
The infantry brigade marched from Knoxville to this
place, sixty miles, in fifty-two hours. The garrison
here, consisting of over 200 men and 14 pieces of ar
tillery, made au unconditional surrender at 3 o’clock
I*. M., to-day without a fight.
The following dispatch from Gen Rosecrans has
been received at headquarters:
Camp near Trenton Georgia, Sept. 9,1863.—T0
Major-General Halleck, General-in-Chief:
Chattanooga is ours, without a struggle, and East
Tennessee is free ! Our move on the enemy’s flank
and rear progresses, while the tail of his retreating
column will not escape unmolested. Our troops from
this side entered Chattanooga about noon; those
north of the river are crossing there.
W. S. Rosecrans, Major General.
Quantrell’s Murderous Raid, in connection with
seeming governmental neglect and over scrupulous
ness in dealing with guerillas in Missouri, has excited
strong and even bitter feeling among the loyal peo
ple on the Kansas border. It is demanded that Ge
neral Schofield, commander of the district, be remo
ved and a more decided person put in hia place. A
deputation started for Washington to press the whole
case upon the government. Gen. S. has not yet
been disturbed in bis position. Meantime, it should
be noted that the Richmond Examiner justifies the;
murderous raid fully, calling it “ a gallant and per
fectly fair blow at the enemy.”
The World Moves.— Mr. H. Montgomery, for
merly editor of the Vicksburg Whig, has issued a
prospectus for a weekly paper in that place, to be
called the Vicksburg Union. A marked change has
taken place his mind on the slavery question, as, ap
pears from the following passage found in his pros
pectus:
“ While the Union will scrupulously avoid all coun
sels of fanaticism, it will, nevertheless, advocate in
the most solemn and earnest manner the entire and
immediate extietion of the cause of all the present
troubles, and; the curse of the South—African
slavery.” Truly the world moves.

The election in Maine for Governor last Monday,
was a most decisive Union triumph, with great gains

A pamphlet, regarded by many as official, has ap
peared in France called “ France, M ex ico, and the
Southern Confederacy,” arguing for recognition as
in the interests of France. Mr. Seward has just is
sued a diplomatic circular, detailing our successes
for the past year, which will probably satisfy the
French Emperor of the futility of such views.

Japan. —Minister Pruyn sends the following des
patch from Sokohama, dated July 29th:
On the 26th of June, the American Steamer Pem
broke was attacked at Semouski, six hundred miles
from here, by vessels of the Prince Nogato. On the
16th of July, the Wyoming blew up.his steamer,
sunk a ten-gun brig, and engaged six batterries, with
the loss of four killed and seven wounded. A French
gun-boat was fired into on the 18th of July, at the
same place. On the 20th of July, the French Ad
miral destroyed one of those batteries.
Temperance Movement in Ireland —From the
Banner of Ulster, Aug. 25th, we learn that lectures
on Total Abstinence are being delivered to large
audiences. , At Corrickfergus, 500 were in attend
ance, who received the lecturer, Mr. Wm. Church,
Secretary .of the Irish Temperance League, with
great applause. At South Legoniel, Mr. C. lectured
for, two hours; the Banner says the lecturer was
“ eloquent, argumentative and earnest.”——Belfast
is suffering from inadequate water-supply; this is a
circumstanee.which might have some bearing on the
question of total abstinence.

On Tuesday, August 11th. 1863, at his .residence in New
York, Mb. Johw Park,'in the 62d year of his age. He was
for several years a ruling elder in the First Reformed Presby
terian Church, in the city of New York, and lived in consist
ency with the profession which he made. ■ Brought to a know
ledge of the truth in the place of his nativity, in the North of
Ireland, as he believed nimßeif to be, Mr. Parr adorned the
Gospel of God his Saviour by a life becoming the Gospel. He
was an intelligent, prudent, (discreet, and amiable Christian;
he was wise and moderate in council; he was firm to Ms reli
gious principles, and a devout patriot in the time of his coun
try’s peril. In his last Ulricas he was an example of patience
and trust in God, through Jesus .Christ. So he elosed Ms ca
reer on earth, being taken away from the evil to the good.
He leaves to his household, all walking in the truth, the le
gacy of a good name and Christian example. N.
Died at Tareatum, Alleghany County, Penna.,on the 3d of
August, Robert MoAteal, aged eighty years. The deceased

when young, andspentthegreaterpartof his life in mercantile
business. He was a’member of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, having united, many yeare since, with Dr. Black’s
Church, in Pittsburg. He was honest and upright in his busi
ness; a loyal citizen, a kind' friend, and a sincere Christian.
Having numbered his four score years, he quietly fell asleep
in- Jesus,leaving a widow and' numerous family to mourn
theirloss. -
