Seottand. — New Free Church in Qlasqow. On
Thursday, Aug, 6th, the foundation-stone of a new
worship in connexion with the Free Church,
ftwon d nS. Gl .^ 0W .’ in Charlotte street, near the
ween. The edifice is intended to relieve the over
crowded pews of the Wynd Church, and the cougre
gation to be formed within its walls will be the se
cond offshoot which that flourishing Church has
thrown out within the space of four years. The new
building will be a substantial and elegant structure,
capable of accommodating 1,000 persons, and having
attached behind a spacious hall, with vestry, session
house, and beadle’s house. The total cost of the
structure is expected to be about 3.000 Z.
Opening of anew Church. Crathie: Dr. Guthrie
Church cm Architecture. —Tho foundation-stone of
the new Church at Crathie was laid, on the 15th of
July, i-st year by the Earl of Dalhousie. The site for
the new church was granted by, the Prince Consort
and was the last act ofhiS public life in Scotland. The
spot selectedl is one of the minor hills about a mile to
the south of Balmoral, and the church is placed about
halfway up the slope, at the upper edge of a thick
plantation. It is a very neat Gothic erection, with
lancet windows and slender spire, and is intended to
accommodate about 400 people. The interior has
been finished in a very superior manner. The entire
cost, will be about 1,0001. The church was formally
opened Ang. 6th, by the Rev, Dr. Guthrie, who took
fit in his way on his return to Edinburgh from
lhwso and tho north, where he had been spending
Ms holidays. After the sermon, the Dr. said,
. “1 highly approve of the resolution of our friends
that led them to build such a house as this; because
there is no greater mistake In the world than to fancy
while God is a God of holiness, a God of power,
and of justice, he is not also a God of taste. I say
that God is a God of taste, just as much as he is a
God of anything else that is lovely and good. And
how do I prove that, you may ask ? I prove that by
just asking you to go to the seashore and* find out
forme a shell that is not pretty, I prove that by
askng yon to go to those meadows and find out a flower
that is not pretty. Let me tell you that the flowers
would have produced their kind according to the law,
although they had never been painted. It is not ne
cessary for the rose and the lily that the one should
blush so beautiful a red, and the other bloom as white
as snow. God has made a useful flower—a useful
rose and a useful lily—aud then painted them. It is
, ®g certain as that the Bible is true, that He is a God
of taste, as much as he is possessed of those other at
tributes. And therefore it is, I say, that I rejoice in
the erection of such a building for God’s service.
Our old stupid notion was—we abhorred Popery so
ranch that we recoiled to the other side—that God
' was never so well worshipped as in an ugly house.
"“f 0 P 6 ®** mistake. A mistake contrary to the
Bible—contrary to reason and common sense.. I
like to see a man have the best of books in his li
brary gilded, though every other book there should
be in plain binding; I like to see an honest working
min, or a servant girl—l like to see any humble
poor person keep his or her best dress for the Lord’s
day, er for attendance at the Lord’s table. Now, I
want to see everything connected with God’s service
becoming. I do not want to see money uselessly
thrown away upon it. But I want to see things
that are in accordance with taste, and that give evi
dence of it" 5
Ireland, —New Presbyterian Church,. Roscom
mon.—On Thursday, Ang. 6th, at ten o’clock, the
interesting ceremony of laying the foundation-stone
of a new Presbyterian Church, took place in the
presence of a considerable number of the respeeta
bte Inhabitants of the town and its vicinity. .Wm.
*lOOl4, Esq., of Dublin, and Mrs. Todd, with a few
Other strangers, were also present The Rev. John
Edgar, D. D., read the 84th Psalm.

Siege of Charleston. —Charleston papers received
since the evacuation of Forts Wagner and Gregg,
describe the tremenebus character of jthq bombard
ment to which they were subjected by our batteries
and vessels, particularly on Friday, Saturday and
Sabbath. The Mercury of Sept 7th says:
The dawn of Friday last revealed a large United
States banner—the bated flag of stars and stripes
—flaunting from a work of the enemy within one
hundred and and fifty yards of Wagner,
At three o’clock on Saturday tne enemy again
opened upon Wagner from, all their land batteries,
assisted by the Ironsides, several gunboats, and au
occasional shot from the monitors. 'This bombard
ment —beyond all doubt the most fierce and long
continued which has taken place against Wagner
since the beginning of thesclge—lasted throughout
Saturday and Saturday night, and did not abate
until Sunday morning at 8 o’clock. Nor was this
abatement of much duration.. The fire was soon re
newed, and was continued, with little less vigor all
Sunday, the Ironsides—which maintained a posi
tion between Gregg and Wagner, and kept shelling
Wagner and the beach —being especially active.
It was on Saturday night, however, and on Sun
day morning up to 8 A M., that the bombard
ment raged with its greatest fuiy. The shots —
many of them coming together, as from the broad
side of a ship—were otten more than sixty to the
minute.
It is almost impossible to describe tbe terrible
beauty of the scene in Charleston harbor, as witness
ed on Saturday night from the city. From Moultre
almost to Seoessionvtlle a whole semi-circle of the
horizon was lit up by incessant flashes from cannon
atid shell. As peal on peal of artillery rolled across
the waters, one could scarcely resist tie belief that
not less than a thousand great guns were in action.
It was a grand chorus of hell, in which Moloch
might have assisted, and over which Satan might
have presided. All this weut.on beneath a waning
September moon, which, with its warm Southern
light, mellowed by a somewhat misty atmosphere,
brought out softly, yet distinctly, the most distant
outlines of the harbor.
The loss at Wagner during this awful bombard
ment was considerable. Up to Ao’clock on Sunday
it amounted to one hundred and fifty in killed and
wounded. Probably many more were added to these
casualties in the course of the day. Under cover of
their ceaseless fire, the Yankees had approached
►ou Sunday within forty yards of Wagner.
The same night, the 6th, the evacuation took
place. The rebels place the total of their losses on
the island at 700; ours they reckon to be not less
than 600011 Still later rebel dispatches, dated
Charleston, Sept. 14th and 15th, say:
The enemy is perfecting arrangements for the
permanent occupation of Morris Island, erecting
lines of telegraph along the whole island, and con
verting Battery Wagner into a powerful work, en
larging the bomb-proof, &o. They fire on our boa's
plying in the harbor from Battery Gregg. The
enemy is building a telegraph line from Tybee
Island and Fort Pulaski along the Carolina coast to
Cumming’s Point; A magazine of one of our James
Island batteries was exploded to-day, and killed one
lieutenant and five men.
On the night of the Bth of September, a force of
about 500, detailed irom our vessels in Charleston
harbor, attempted the capture of Fort Sumpter.
They were apparently anticipated; a strong gar
rison being in the Fort. Signals were flashed, and
as the party attempted to land and scale the very
steep inclines of rubbish, a fire was poured upon
them from the shore batteries, compelling them to
retreat. Loss about 100.
North Carolina— The Raleigb, N. C., Stand
ard, which has been most freely and earnestly dis
cussing the policy of the rebellion, and exposing its
lamentable failure, was destroyed recently by some
rebel soldiers. The friends of the Standard, in re
venge attacked and sacked the office of a violent
rebel priss in the same city. North Carolina, whe
ther Union at heart or not, is hopelessly divided as
to the rebellion.
Army Of the Potomac.—On the 13th, General
Pleasanton advanced 3 miles beyond Culpepper
Court House, and in the sharp skirmish which
attended the movement, captured 3 guns, and 150
prisoners. Loss 3 killed and, 40 wounded. The
2nd Arffiy Corps occupied Culpepper immediately
after. Gen, Pleasanton pushed on to the Bapidan.
The editor of the Washington Star, who left
Culpepper September 17th, says.
“That on Wednesday night, the Union line
extended from Stevensburg, through Culpeper
Court House, to Stone Mountain House, four miles
north of the Court house. Thursday morning this
line was changed, the army having advanced to a
closer proximity to the Rapidan river, where the
rebel corps of A. P. Hill and Ewell are believed to
be strongly fortified. The Army of the Potouiae
was never before in as fine a condition as at this
moment, so healthy, so cleanly, and so well sup
plied. It is worth to day in a hard fight twice as
it ever was before the battle of Gettysburg.
, Suspension of the Habeas Corpus. —The Pre
sident, in accordance with the authority given him
by Congress, has suspended the writ of Habeas Cor
pus until the rebellion has ceased. The main
object of the measure is to prevent disloyal opposi
tion to the conscription act, and to arm the Govern
ment against treasonable organizations formed for
its destruction. It will not interfere in any way with
the rights of loyal citizens. It is only suspended in
cases where, by the authority of the President of the
United States, the military, naval and civil officers
of the United States, or any of them hold persons
under their command or in their custody either as
prisoners of war, spies, or aiders or abettors of the
enemy, or officers, soldiers or seamen enrolled, draft
ed, or mustered or eiilisted in, or belonging to the
land or naval forces of the United States, or as de
serters therefrom, or otherwise amenable to milita
ry law or the rules and articles of war, or the rules
or regulations prescribed for the military or naval
service by authority of the President of the United
States, or for resisting a draft, or for any other offence
against the military or Daval service.
East Tennessee and Georgia- —Rumors of dis
aster to Rosecrans were current last week. A
Louisville Ky., despatch says:
They probably arose from the fact that on Sab
bath last a rebel force 16,000 strong attacked Gen.
Negley’s brigade, 5,300 strong, at Bird’s Gap, and
drove them back for three and a half miles. Gen.
ri egiey recovered his ground on the next morning,
wuh a loss of 35 killed, wounded and missing. Our
forces buried 36 rebels who were found on the
ground, Monday morning. The number of the
killed and wounded who had been removed was
unknown, but it was supposed to have been consider
able.
Dispatches from the head quarters of General
Rosecrans, 10 miles north-east of Lafayette, Git.,
dated the 16th and 18th of September says:
On evactuating Chattanooga the enemy retired to
Lafayette and massed a force at that place, taking
possession 'of the gaps of the Pigeon mountains,
directly in .front of Gen. Thomas’ column. The
rebel farce had been made formidable by new ad
ditions from Johnston, Hindman, and Buckner;
and many of the deserters arriving here report that
the enemy is now superior in numbers to any they
had at the battle of Murfreesboro; in all not less
than 65,000 men. Thus encountered by an enemy
so formidable in numbers and position, General
Rosecrans has been compelled to concentrate his
forces, wliieh were necessarily much scattered in
crossing the Lookout Mountains.
The lines of the opposing armies may now be
represented as ereseent-shaped by the Pigeon moun
tains, which extend like the are of a circle around
Lafayette. The rebels hold the interior and we the
exterior lines. The rebel position can only be
approached by Cattler’s Wine and Blue Bird Gaps,
which are well guarded. This position of the
rebels covers excellent lines of retreat on Rome and
Calhouu. _ Long-street passed through Augusta on
the 10th instant by rail to Roxa, and Ms advance
has reached Lafayette.
The rebels have been moving, through a gap of
the Pigeon Mountain, and forming in line on this
side as if to attack. Gen. Rosecrans has assumed
a strong defensive position on Chickamauga Creek,
covering Chattanooga. He evinces no disposition
to attack at present. His preparations to do so
eannot be completed for a fow days, when a battle
must ensue.
The South-west. —Guerillas are, to some extent,
active in firing on boats plying on the Mississippi.
Active measures are taken against them. —A troop
of the marine brigade had captured, at Bolivar,
three rebel paymasters, with an escort of thirty-five
men and $2,000,000 to pay the troops at Little
Rouk. —General Blunt, at last accounts, was at Ft.
■Gibson, preparing to start for Ft. Scott In his
recent campaign he marched two-hundred and fifty
miles in nine days, fought two battles, .and cleared
the rebels from 100,UOU square miles of territory.
Fort Smith will be the headquarters for operations
during the winter.—Cairo, Sept. 17th, Rear Admi
ral Porter has received a dispatch stating that Little
Rock was occupied by Gen. Steele on the 10th inst.,
without fighting or loss of any consequence. Price,
in command of the rebels, is rapidly retreating, and
Gen. Davidson is in hot pursuit.
It is stated that General Grant’s forces sailed
from New Orleans on an expedition to Texas, Sep
tember 9th. The New Orleans correspondent of a
copperhead New York Journal, gives a detailed
account of the destruction and capture of two
“federal” gunboats, the Clifton and Sachem, con
nected with the gulf part of the expedition, under
Gen. Franklin, when attempting to enter Sabine
Pass. (Since confirmed.)
“Better Die than be Conquered-”— The Rich
mond Whig has an editorial article under the head
of “Better Die than be Conquered,” which re
veals a consciousness that, with all their boast
ings, the rebels feel their cause is lost. The Whig
threatens that in the last resort, .the rebels will
“ take to the woods and the wilderness like savages,
and there fight against hunger and cold” ps long
as they may be able. *
Rebel Currency. —A letter from'J. D. Debow to
Wm. H. Bowyer, of South Carolina, thus admits
tbe main cause of tbe depreciation of rebel currency,
after urgiug that traffic in gold and silver coin should
be punished by forfeiture of tbe article.
1 Without doubt, much qf the depreciation is the
result of want of confidence in the eventual success
of the cause, and may therefore, be expected under
any scheme of finance. ’ ’
J. D. Benton, of Wilmington, Delaware, has just
made, entirely of gold and at a cost of about #7,000,
a perfect fac simile of the Monitor, which did such
f lorious work with the Merrimac in Hampton Roads,
t is about eighteen inches in length, and is to be
presented to Capt. Ericsson; as a tribute of regard
for his valuable services on behalf of our country.
Latest,—Tuesday.
Washington Sept. 21st—The Government has
received official despatches from General Rosecrans,
stating that an engagement took place on Saturday,
near Chatanooga, between a part of Gen. Rosecrans’
army and the rebels. At first our troops were
driven some distance, and lost seven gnus. They
then rallied, attacked the rebels desperately, regained
the lost ground, captured ten guns and a. large num
ber of prisoners, representing forty-five rebel regi
ments. At the close of the day the battle was
undecided, and expected to be renewed yesterday.
The action was not a general engagement, but
merely a reconnoisanec in force on our front.
The battle was renewed on Sabbath the 20th, with
great fierceness, and up to two o’clock P. M., with
varying fortunes, but at that moment the advance of
the rebel army was being driven back. Loss-on
both sides estimated at 30,000.
Charleston dates to the 16th say tha't General
Gilmore was mounting heavy guns at Gumming’s
Point to shell Charleston. The rebel fire from
James Island was continuous but not effective.
Sumter was still held by the rebels. Gen. Gilmore,
in a congratulatory address issued to the soldiers the
day before says:
You now hold undisputed possession of the whole
of Morris Island, and the city and harbor of Charles
ton lie at the mercy of yonr artillery, from the very
spot where the first shot was fired at your country's
flag and the rebellion itself was inaugurated.
Foreign.
By th %Heda from Liverpool, we have dates to
the Bth. '
. Great BTitian. —Earl Russel’s reply to the Eman
cipation Society, relative to the building of rams for
the Confederate States by Messrs. Laird, is written
in atone of undisguised disapproval; but he says
nothing can be done without affidavits.
The Morning p os t sa ys there is but little doubt
the two suspected iron rams at Liverpool will be de
tained by the government under the Foreign Enlist
ment Act. It is nevertheless contended that they
were built by order of a French house under a con
tract with the late Pasha of Egypt. But the present
Pasha repudiates the contract.
The accusation is that they are intended for hos
tilities against a friendly power and a court of law
must decide upon the question of their detention or
■release. '*
fwniaw fttflgiettM and
A Fme Business Improvement— lt is always to
us an agreeable duty to chronicle substantial im
provements in our business and commercial centres.
They are the tangible symbols of life and growth,
and therefore, as a generel rule, the healthy or un
healthy state of the bnsiness community can be ac
curately estimated from the number and character
of improvements made from season to season by
our business houses.
In the Clothing Department we have now to notice
a very fine extension and improvement by the popu
larly known firm of Messrs. Wanamaker& Brown,
made in the “Oak Hall Clothing Bazaar,’’ southeast
corner of Market and Sixth streets. To effect this
they have incorporated in their own establishment
what was formely two stores, on Sixth steeet, adjoin
ing their corner on the south, their edifice as now ar
ranged and appointed being one of the largest, hand
somest and most commodious in Philadelphia. Tho
appearance of the store from the.street is attractive
and unique, being admirably lighted and tho
roughly arranged for the comfort and convenience
of customers. We cannot, however, probably, better
describe the effect and character of the improvement
referred to than by briefly referring to its more prom
inent details.
The first floor is devoted exclusively to their Order
and Customer Department, a spacious and beautiful
ly arranged room, where fine garments are made to
order, the spstem adopted being such as to insure
the utmost efficiency and punctuality to the custom
er, in giving him the most elegantly made garment
from materials selected from a capital stock, at the
shortest notice, and without disappointment as to the
time promised for its delivery. We may mention
that this department is under the charge and super
intendence of Mr. G. Ogden, brother to one of the
largest clothiers in New York city—a member of
the house of Devlin & Go., Broadway. In addition
to the fine display on this floor, in the clothing de
partment, the Market street section of the ea3f side
of the store is devoted to. Gentlemen’s Furnishing
Goods, where small articles for gentlemen’s wear,
in every variety, may always be found in the best
style. Messrs Wanamaker & Brown have added
much to the completeness of their establishment by
introducing this new feature.
Ascending an easy flight of stairs from the centre
of-the first floor, we reach the second story, where
we find ourselves surrounded with endless stacks of
fashionable Fall and Winter Pants and Tests, that
may be counted literally by thousands. At the rear
end of this floor is a neatly-arranged and well stock
ed room, employed exclusively as a Youth's Depart
partment, where Boys' Clothing of every description
can be purchased to the best advantage, as the pro
prietors have determined to constitute this one of
their most important specialties.
In the third story of the building are the Goat
Rooms, where, judging from the immense quantities
of these garments displayed, men of all sizes, mea
surements, tastes, ana circumstances can be suited
to a nicety; light in this story, as in all others, being
such as to enable “ ail who run to read ” the exact
character of the article they are purchasing-
On reaching the fourth floor, we have soared above
the realms of barter and trade, and find ourselves in
serene heights, where the rudimentals of the entire
business of the house are enacted with all the noise
lessness, accuracy, and system of clock-work. The
front section of this story is where all the cloths are re
ceived, thorougly examined as to strength, durability
&ct, and prepared for'the cutters, of whom a large
number occupy the rear room on this floor. Here,
too, all the work cut is given out to th'e four hundred
hands and upwards employed by the firm, and'receiv
ed again when finished, and thoroughly examined
before being assigned to the respective, sales-rooms
below. On this floor, also, the hands receive their
pay, the uniform rule of the house being to pay for
all work the instant it is finished, thus avoiding the
necessity for book accounts and saving the em
ployees’ time, thereby securing to this house ail times
the choice of the best hands in the city.
There is an air of neatness prevading the entire es
tablishment that strikes us most favorably, which,
combined with the excellent system adopted, and
tlm qualifications of the gentlemen engaged in tho
artistic department of the house, together with the
marked courtesy of the clerks, cannot fail to render
the “ Oak Hall” Clothing House more celebrated
than ever.

At Petersburg, Adams County, Penna., Sept. 3d, Isaac M.
SLOA.N AKim, in the 48th year of his age, late a merchant
of this city.
The announcement of the death of Mr. Sloanaker has fallen
sadly upon the hearts of those who knew him when a
resident of this city. The life of an earns! man is never an
obscure life;—but where great business energy and equally
great Christian energy are united, as in the late Mr. Sloan
aker, the loss to the Church and' to society claims more than
a passing notice.
The deceased became a resident of Philadelphia when a
young man, and engaged actively in mercantile business. He
was an earnest; energe tic, and successful business man. Very
early in his mercantile life he bpcame a member of the First
Presbyterian Church in thiß city. His profession of religion
was made deliberately, but whei made was sustained by an
aotive and laborious engagedness in Christian duty. In the
church and in the Sabbath-School he was an example of
fidelity. Loving the church of his choice he recognized its
elaims upon him for personal service and responded cheer
fully to the responsibilities involved in its membership. If
he attained to great usefulness it was because by the grace of
God he had cherished the purpose,' and accepted the duties of
a faithful Christian life.
For the last nine years Mr. Sloanaker has resided in or
near Lionsrille, Chester County. There, though distant
from any church organization of our order, he had cast in his
lot with the people of God, of a kindred denomination, and
had been with them an active co-worker and efficient pro
moter of every enterprise bearing upon the spiritual interests
of the neighborhood, devising and executing liberal things.
He has died in his prime, not by long and wasting sickness,
but as it were suddenly, but he has laid himtiown in peace, his
last hours abounding with precious thoughts of the loving
kindness of his God and Saviour, his testimony being the
words, “ I die in the faith of Jesus."
On the 27th of March 1863, Jane Dinsmore in the 15th
SloomingS e in(fiftn» ter ° f Jolmand Dinsmore, of
Miss D. about two years ago, made public profession of
religion in the Reformed Presbyterian Church,' and by her
truly Christian deportment commanded the esteem* and
gained the affection of all who knew her. She was attacked
more than a year before her death by that invidious disease
the consumption, under the influence of which she gradually
wasted away, till falling asleep in Jesus she left her parents
and her many friends, sorrowful that she was taken from
them, yet rejoicing in the evidence she gave that Bhe had gone
to be forever with the Lord her Savior.
