this Church, that the subject may by the Synod be
fully and practically considered, that misunder
standings may be prevented and a course of action
befitting this church, in existing circumstances, may
be formally indicated and cordially purs ied.’!
B T r ,; ® avid Km g IL Dof the UP. Church,
Londop.has just issued a pamphlet on the proposed
union, in which, without dogmatizing on the subject,
he expresses him elf favorable to the scheme of a
British Church, including the English Presbyterians.
Prom the notice of the pamphlet m the WeeUy Re
view, we learn that D K repud ate the Idea of
colonial relationship between the Presbyterian
Churches of bcuuuna ana England.
He avows that, “in the very, nature >of things, a
church having its supreme court in Edinburgh must
wear an OXQtic aspect .to Eqgligh ideas and.sympa.
thies, and takes It for granted th n at “ there no ne
cessity that theeupreme court of the United Church
shouid invariably meet, in Edinburg. He adds that
all lie has seen and heard-eon vinces him that a “libe
ral discretion would be conceded to the Fnglish
portion of the Church in respeet to Engl h affu rs
and that “there would undoubtedly be an Englrh
Synod. Dr King reminds us tl at small bodies
can hardly or nßerve heat either in a pby cal or me
ral sense, aiidne is right, except, indeed- withrofe-
to that kind of heat which goes to bickering
heart-burning and controversial acrimony of which
small sectarian churches . conserve am intolerable
quantity. He further argues that “ the exotic notion
is all fallacy together.-; Presbyterianism, was onee
nourishiDg in England. We owe to its Westminster
Assembly the symbols we still acknowledge; and in
all we dd for Presbytery, within its borders, we are
but waterlog its owa plant—a plant now shrivelled
and withered, but once a noble vine—so expansive
and stately that it filled the land.” Dr. lfing at
taches small importance to the objection that a Bri
tish Church would fee too large. The 1 Free Church
has 886 ministers and 860 churches. The United
Presbyterian Church has 577 ministers n«d 557
churches. The Wesleyan Methodists original con
nection, have over 6,500 chuihbes ' 1
The Weekly Review is in favor of a British Church
if the character of the chureh, as an English no less
than a Scotch institution, can be secured • otherwise
Jt would have on English Church formed from the
English U. P. Chureh and the English Synod la
such a union it sees a prospect of obtaining what the
Presbyterian Church in England especially wants—
a set of young, eloquent, and energetic ministers. It
says: .
“If the Free Church were cordially in favor of the
British scheme, we should look upon it more hope
fully ; but with the Free Church lukewarm to the
proposal, or actually opposed to it, the general union
would, we .fear, be apparent rather than real.”
BAPTIST MISSIONS-
Mrs. Mason at Toungoo, Burmah. —The most,
contradictory reports of the conduct ot this mission- j
ary lady, sen! out by the Baptist Missionary Union 1
of this country, have been received. It appears thati
the British Government, gratified by the very great
success of the mission among the Karens, earned qn
by Mr. and Mrs Mason in 1857 made over to Mr
Mason a piece of land near Toungoo whereon to
build a school and chapel for the Karen people, as
also for the establishment of a Karen, female insti
tute. A money-grant in aid of the building ■ was
alsothadi, but the ordinary current expenses weyp
to come from the voluntary contributions of the
Karens *iemselves.
In 1860, Mrs Mason went, to America. ; During
iier absence two more missionaries jbi'ned the st'atioi|.
One of these by Dr. Mdsod toereet’a
building on the Karen Institute land. In 1862' Mrs.
Mason returned ; and theu comraenped a* series of
painful disputes, issuing in, formal
against Mrs. MaSonj and lodged With the Deptity-
Oomtnissioner, and fetwarded wjOdlonel Phayre, the
Chief Commissioner of British' Bqriiiab. ; £
Some of these charges refer .‘to very'singular
notions of the accused as to the nature of/langnage,
power of symbols, ko. Dr. Duff, who lias recently
written a letter, on the subject, says,, that .the
Commissioner declined to enter npon these charges
as beyond his province; He however, sees .nothing
blasphemous or profane in them, and Dr. D. says
that so far as he understands the matter, he agrees
with the Orfmwissioher.' Another Was-that;
Mrs. Mason ‘‘was abusing the support she hiad re
ceived from the Government.” This was'based on
some hasty and indiscreet 1 exbfessiori# for which Mrs.;
Mason apologized, though the 1 Commissioner did not
regard them as establishing the-
Mrs. Mason was charged with- “ setting
as' a sort of politlcalhead of the 'KBrehit,”’ and
“hoisting a flag as a Karen national cmbleilfi.”
Col. Phayrei.entirely acquitted her of-thesb charges,
declaring her explanations “perfectly satisfactory”
and perceiving nothing the degree
of interest yrhich it .was ..proper and .desirably for
missjoiiarieS to takh.in (the a®irfl*pfl:th4jiatives.
He counselled however, that the flag should not be,
hoisted at present on account of the excitement it;
hadiocdasioned. A number of other minor charges*
havipg been disposed of, Jq a wayin tbepiain equally!
satisfactory, the Chief Commissioner concludes his:
long and masterly minute by declaring that “Dr.
Mason and Mrs. Mason had his entire confidence,
and hqtsUsted that they-would-continue-.the noble,
work amofag the Karen tribeadn which they Had been
so eminently successful.”
Dr, Duff expresses very great satisfaction in this
“ vindication of such indefatigable and successful
laborers as Dr. and Mrs. Mason.” The date of his;
communication Iff June 22d, yet in so late a number
of the Christian Chronicle, (Baptist.organ of this
city,) as Aug. 20th, we find the following article of
the most opposite tenor: ....
Mrs. Mason at Toungoo.— The difficulties in the
missions at Toungoo, growing out of Mrs. Mason’s
strange movements, are increasing;. r§he is charged
with many grave errors in doctrine, such as that
Guadama's teachings are to be held in estimation as
equal to those of Moses,; that Pagodas, beautifully
illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity; that the figures
worked on Burroan women’s jackets teach the
attributes of God, &e. Mrs. M. has forbidden the
Karons to receive the teachings of Bro. Orosß, and
has ejected him and his family from the premises
they occupied. The ordained native pastors of the
Toungoo chufches, have been deposed from the
ministry; and Dr. Mason has forbidden all the
churches to receive them. The brethren in Rangqou
have recently appointed Messrs. Wade, Stevens and
Kincaid, to go to Toungod'und see n'hat can be done
to save the cause there. The Fnend of: Jnma, a
Calcutta periodical, has repeatedly contused state-,
meats very derogatory to Mrs. Mason, and m a ia
number, implicates Dr. Mason as partaking ot bis
wile’s staange doings. The most charitable con
struction tjjat can; be patjaponilrs. Ifawl’tob®,
and disastrous course, is ;that she js of,uq
mind. Bat so long as Dr. Mason does noting to
counteract her vagaries, and takes an ope ,
against those who dS, he will be
his support. Messrs. Stevens, Bravton ROTe Ben
net and Binney. have written a joint letter to brethren
Crost and Bfxby, eottttseling them to stand fast
against Mrs, Mason
advising the native churches to avoidju c_P y
with her errors. We feel, a comfortable assurance
that the Managers of our Missionaig Union will all
mform themselves fully on thjs .pamfuUub ect, and
act with rectitude and firmness in the premises. ,
Is this another of those attempts sometimes seen
among missionaries, to get rid of associates, with
whom, on account of some comparatively trifling;
idiosyenrasy, they cannot fully sympathize?' •

_ Chattanooga is Still firmly held by Rosecransfto
; the great disappointment of the rebels. The
;Richmond Examiner Sept 26th says: / '

street W of that stronghold, and
strengthening its works, and while events linger in
Tennessee,.the,situation in,northern YirgnfahS
become critical. The enemy is prepS for a
general attack on the line of the Rapid"" 2 and is
Srif h i a l° rCea at
nqitenng and encroaching on the railroad and the
riyer, which indicates a determination to fight.
The enemy now claim 36 guns instead of 50, and
7000 prisoners; 2000 of whom were wounded, as
the results of the: battle of Chicamauga. Our
General Lytle was killed. ......

The Richmond p per of Sept “9 speak of
report current m their city, th t Gen. Lee h d
reported, to the War Office that the are y of the

or all of Howard’s and Slocum’s corps. v The rebel
loss at Chickamauga is admitted to, Rive been
twelve .thousand. . ,
Gen. Bosecrans was exchanging wounded priso*
nets with Bragg, on the 30th of September- ' The
rebels, refuse to exchange officers, They have many
of our surgeons whom they still hold, • Both arm es
were fortifying. The Biehmond papers say Bo e
crans’ defences are strong, and, it is thought, so su
perior ,tliat no assault mil be made ” Oar men are
indignant at the unfavorable reports of the associa
ted press. Reynolds’ and Brannan’s Divisions were
not thrown into disorder- : • •
The estimate, at head-quarters, of Our loss-at the
battle ot Chickamauga Creek is os follows:' Killed,
1,800, wobnded, 9,500; taken prisoners. 2 500. • To
tal loss. Id,Boo. The Success ol General Thomas, on
the left,-was much greater than has bebn represented
in any published acebunt of the great battle. Gene
ral Thomas routed GeAerai Longstreers rebel corps,
and was m a condition to pur u tl e enemy, had it
been lor the disorganization of onr right wing.
"1 he los of the enemy is supposed to be twenty thou
sand. The Washington S ir ay heavy reinforce
ments ’’ have been received by Bosecrans- and that
others'are rapidly follow ng in large force It adds
that the “ promptness and the efficiency in over
coming natural diffiulties exceed any other similar
military achievement known in the history of modern
warfare.’!- ‘ >'■ '■
More favorable versions of the late Battles.—
Col. Wilder, commander ot the celebrated brigade
of mounted infantry in the army of the Cumber
land,, who took a prominent part in the late battle,
io bn a visit to his home in Indiana, and gives a
more favorable report than hitherto published, of
the battle.
He says that the report of the New York Her-
I aids coirespondent telegnphed from Cincinnati
lis incoiiect and x ggerated fii t hecause the
correspondent did not know what disposition had
| been made of portions of the two corps wha h he
reports defeated and scattered; and second,. be
cau. c he had leftthe fieldon Sunday evening, and
could not. possibly have learned the full result of the
fight. Colonel Wilder's position was such as to
enable him to know not only the movements of the
troops preceding the battle of Sunday, but to bring
from the field the very last news that could be
gathered there.
In Saturday s fight. he was on the left or left
centre; That night the gie tpoicion of McCook’s
and Crittenden s corps moved: past him to strenghen
Thomas, qn the extreme left, leaving him on the
extreme right. Between this brigade and Thomas,
in the centre, instead of two corps as represented by
the Herald writer there were but two divisions,
j Sheridan’s and Jeff. G. Davis of these corps.
1 Here the fin e was ■ necessarily very weak; and the
rebel failing in their desperate attack upon Thomas,
I and in a fierce but not persistent dash upon the
r o hc took the opportunity-of some movement m
the centre to make a dash there.
They massed acolumn six or' eight deep against
our thin line and broke through it, scattering the
divisions more by mam strengn and pressure than
by their fire, into the hills and hollows and woods
of Mission Ridge behind them, where the nature of
the,ground made it difficult*to keep theta together,
or rally them. This was the only real reverse of
the d y It embraced but two divisions, as already
stated, and of these Sheridan and Davis, who,
Wilder says, did all that human daring and coolness
could, rallied a considerable number, and returned
to the fight. Not many were killed or captured;' as
the rebels were prevented from using their advan
tage bj- a deadly flank ng ftie thrown into them by
Wilder s seven-shooting rifles and artillery, as they
gassed him in pursuit. He says they did not go a
alf mile beyond hisline, and'soon fell back. After
this he held, his ground five hours without molesta
tion. How Thomas he!d_ the left, or father the
main body of the army, is known to everybody.
On both flanks the rebels were stopped and beaten
b ck In the.centre They broke, up two divisions,
but with a less fatal result than might have been
expected. .
This is the sum.pf the matter- ■ On Sunday
night, Wilder distributed his brigade so as to pro
tect the roads from the right to Chattanooga, and
ou Monday joined the main body in good order and
good spirits,' entirely unconscious of any defeat.
Thomas came in on Monday, at his own -pleasure,
with more than two thirds of the whole army, and
anything, but ,a defeat r to report, as the most
disoiriting accounts, show. Our * line was held,
except at the right of the centre, till we chose to
leave it, as Bosecrans would have done before the
fight if the rebels had let him. : They fought to
-break him up before he could get back to the im
pregnable position at Chattanooga, and only suc
ceeded: in breaking up two divisions.
Mr. Lincoln on Intemperance in the army —A
delegation of the Sons of Temperance visited the
President Sept. 29th, and presented an address on
the suppression of intemperance in the army, to
which the President replied.as follows:
“When he wa# a young man; long ago before the
Sons'of Temperance, as an organization had an
existence, he, in a humble way, taade temperance
speeches, and he thought he might say that, to
this'day, he had never by Ms example belied what
he then said. As to the suggestions for the pur
pose ot the advancement of the cause of temperance
in the army he could not respond to them,, To
prevent intemperance in the army is the aim.of a
great* part of the rulfes and articles of war. It is
parti of the law of the land, and wa# so, he pre
sumed, long ago, to dismiss officers for drunkeness.
He was not sure that, consistently with the publie
ervice, more could be done than has been done.
AH therefore; he could promise was to have a copy
of the address submitted to the principal depart
ments; and have it considered whether it contains
any suggestions which will improve the cause of
tenperanee and repress drunkeness in the army
any better th in is already done. He, thought the
re onable men of the world have long since agreed
that drunkenness is one of the greatest, if ,not- the
verg greatest, #f all evils among mankind. That is
not a matter of dispute. All men agree that in
temperance is a great curse, but differ about the
cure. The Suggestion that it existed' to a great
extent in the army wa# true, but whether that was
the cause of defeats he knew not; but he did know
That there was_a great deal of it on the other side,
therefore they had ho right to beat us on that
ground.’* (Laughter.) ■>
The, Russian Fleet in New York harbor has
called out most cordial, spontaneous demonstrations
' on the part of the citizens. On Thursday O t, Ist,
there was if'grand turn out of the military .to give
eclat to the reception of the . Admiral and suit : by
; MayorOpdyke. Therputeoftheprocessionwaslined
! with flags. The Mayor’s address, and the response
of the Admiral were most friendly. The Ledger's
'N.*Y. Correspondent says:
; ■ Qur Muscovite visitors have every reason to, ,b,e
.proud of the enthusiastic piiblip reception awarded
, to theta to-day, by the people of New York and
thhlr municipal representatives. Our people eemed
to feel that the demanstration was something m re
i than a mere holidao parade—th t m short it w i
in fact what it was intended to be. a popular
acknowledgment of a courtesy due to about'the
* only first-class Rower in Europe that has been dis
posed to deal fairly with us s n e the rebellion
begun. ■
Solution Of the Emancipation Question in
Maryland.—We find the following among the
aiii (EfattijcliSt.
despatches to the Associated Press from'Washing
ton, Sept. 28: .
Easton, Talbot county, on
St f rn i» , ore of Ma:l Tland, states , that the
enlistment of slaves as soldiers is going on very
rapidly. This is done with the consent of their
owners, who receive from the recruiting officer a
certificate for every slave enlisted, which certificate
will entitle the,owner to $3OO upon the passage of
an act oi emancipation by the State Legislature,
providing compensation to owners of such, slaves,
upon furnishing proof of the owner’s loyalty.. Such
an act is expected to be passed at the next session
2f *“ e Legislature, upon the basis of the Missouri
Emancipation bill. The owners of slaves on the
Eastorn Shore seem to be very well pleased- to
receive these certificates in lieu of their slaves, wbo ;
are going off by hundreds and enlisting. If the
.owners do not take these certificates, they get
for the slaves .are presenting themselves
.daily, for enlistment, and the owner has no meaiis
Pf compelling them to return to his service. Many
citizeps °f the,Eastern Sjiore also expressed graph
cat on t the rapid enlistment of negroes, as it
aim m hed the quota of men to be furnished by the
State , full credit being given by the War Depart-,
ment for every colored soldier enlisted., The same
course m regard to enlisting slaves in • Western
Maryland is pursued by Colonel Birney at,Balti
more, who receives ,all slaves suitable for .soldiers
who present themselves, and. gives their - owners
certificates for $3OO for each slave, payable after tbe
parage of an act ot emancipation, fhe result of
th.o movement m Maryland will be* practical
emancipation, and it will only- require an act of the
Legislature to completely nd tbe State of the
peculiar institution. ” ‘ '
. Missouri. —Some great errors, if not worse are-
T>emg perpetrated m the management of this State.
The, unparalled outrage by Missouri rebels upon
L wrencc is openly attributed to mismanagement
on the pare of Gen. Schofield m command of this
department: A deputation ;of loyal citizens', of
Missouri waited upon the President Sept 80th,
seeking the removal of Gen. Schofield; and-a change
in the policy of the President to more decisive
measures, and a closer affiliation with the outright
Emancipationists of the State; Their interview
was strictly private.: The following dispatches from
Leavenworth and St. Louis show that the ease is
as urgent as in any part of rebeldom:' . •
Leavenworth, Sept. 29.—Governor .Gamble,
having authourized Colonel Moss, of Liberty, Mo.’,
to atin the men,in Platte and Clinton,counties, he
has. armed mostly the returned rebel soldiers and
men under bonds. Moss’ men are now. driving the
Union men out of Missouri. Over one hundred
families crpst-sd. the . river torday. Many of the
wives of our Union soldiers have been,compelled to
icavv. .Four or five Union men have been murdered
by Col. Moss’ men. ' ;
• The St. Louis Dispatch says:
Colonel. Moss’ men are disarming the loyal en
rolled militia of Platte county ; several Union men
were killed yesterday ana a perfect state of terrorism
exists there.
Rebel Incendaries on the Mississippi —Three
river steamers were recently burned at tbe St- Louis
levee, Oct. 4th. The, .Campbell was burned above
Milliken s Bend,- Sept. 29th: and twenty-two lives
lost. All attributed to incendaries. A three-gun
battery is. spoken of as recently erected byguenllas
sixteen miles above Natchez-
The Seige of Charleston —Our works on Moms
Island were mot completed at last advices, though
advancing rapidly. Some shots have been fired at
Sumpter and Jolmson.
From General Banks:— A Berwick City letter,
to-the Herald, states that the mam body of General
Banks command was encamped: on the 18th of Sep
tember, near that place. No serious encounter was
expected until reaching Vermillion Bayou- where the
rebels, under Dick Taylor, are represented to be m
great force and fortifying. Another report is that
the rebels are concentrating all their available forces
from Western Louisiana. Eastern Texas, and Sou
thern Arkansas, at Alexandria, for a_last desperate
resistance, amlthat they are evacuating all the coun
try this side ot Alexandria and the Red Biver Our
forces would soon make an advance movement.
Desperate condition of affairs in Mobile.— The
cutting off of supplies across the Mississippi is
affecting the regions on this side most painfully
Late N ew Orleans advices say:
Another female bread riot oecurcd at Mobile on
the 4th of September. The 17th Alabama regiment
was ordered by jGerieral Maury to put down the
disturbance, toMo duty. The Mobile
Cadets tried theta Hands, and were defeated and
forced to fly by the women. Peaceful measures
finally quieted the famine-stricken wretches. The
rioters openly proclaimed the detemvination, if some
means were not rapidly devised 4o'relieve their
sufferings or to stop the war; to burn the whole city.
The paroled Vicksburg' prisoners at Mobile are
suffering the: greatest hardships,, for want of care
and food, and openly declare that if they are'forded
into the field they will leave on the first battle. It
is supposed that of 27,000 paroled at Vicksburg not
more than 5,000 can ever be pressed into the rank#.
Plot discovered-—St. Louis, Oct. Ist.— lt is
understood that a plot has been discovered-to burn
all the Government transports on. the Western
rivers. Several men have been arrested, and dre
now m irons. Upon one of the prisoners a cipher,
was discovered; whiqh being translated, disclosed
instrui tions to destroy alLthe steameis that can be
of any service to thd Government'; The matter is
being thoroughly investigated. . b
Naval-— The rebel blockade runner, steamer
Alice Yivian, was captured recently m the gulf by
the U. S. steamer De Soto. On the 22d of Sept,
the rebel steamer Phantom loaded with arms, was
run ashore near Wilmington, and destroyed by tite
U. S- steamer Connecticut. Four schooners have
been plundered and* set adrift-by pirates 'in Ches
peake bay.
A letter from the TJ. S. steamer Seminole, from
Rio debNorte; dated Sep:il2th, says that the most
valuable prize of the war,.has been captured by the
Seminole, under Commander Rolando. She was
British build; was over three hundred feet long,
and showed British colors. She has evidently been
fitted out in England for a rebel man of war- .
The English steamer Sir William Pitt, which has
landed a cargo of arms in Mexican waters was cap
tured m the. Rio- .Grande and brought to New Or
leans. Sept. 2oth. She had 1000 bales of cotton on
board, and reached. New York city Oct. 3d. Ten
blockade-runner steamers have recently arrived at
Nassau from rebel ports It is worthy of remark
that one of these vessels got jiut from Charleston
eleven days after the surrender of Batteries Gregg
and Wagner.
Foreign.
By the City of Washington .we dates to the
17th of Sept., by the Europa to the 20th.
Great Britain. —Ninety-five of the crew of tbe
Florida arrived in Liverpool in a state of destitu
tion. The reports that they, had received large
sums in wages and prize money were fabrications.
The men were mostly pressed, from the confederate
army." At Brfeit they were diseharged, with notes
on the confederate agents at Liverpool for sums
varying, from ,$lOO,, to $130.: 5 Their slaims were
repudiated, and the men were vowing vengeance.
A letter from Richmond, in the rebel organ, the
Index, speaks of the probability of an early recall
of the TC[ resent uve* of the South from England,,
ou account of tno attitude ot the British Govern
ment^,, JCficLondon Herald, adverting to the
rnniqred probable recall ot Mr. Mason from London,
says it is,in consequence of the systematic rndencss
with which he lias been treated- The Herald hints
that it has been through the suggestion of Mr.
Adams that Mr. Mason has been excluded from;
official.intercourse with the British Government-
_ Russia and Poland. —The Russian reply to the
English note is published. It professes an ardent
'desire to restore tranquility m Poland. Discussions
could only end in establi lung divffrgengie of views,
and desires to assume all the responsibilities, and
hopes the principle of non-intervention will be
maintained, which Russia had constantly'respected.
By the Saxonia, we have dates to the 23rd of
September.... _ r
Two remarkable declarations appear in the Lon
don Times: viz: 1 _
, That the. fate of Charleston is only a question of
time; that its fate is virtually decided, also that
Mr. Mason sent to Earl Russellon Monday that, he
: (Mason) had been instructed to withdraw from
! England. Mr. Mason proceeds to Paris.
The rebel loan was 29 to 30 discount. •
France.—Ourgun-boat Keisage arrived recently
at Brest, where tie Florida jas been undergoing
repairs. The paper La Lranfc says, it was sent in
company with-another steamer in pursuit of the
Florida, It adds: j •
The Florida was to leave-Brest on the 23d of
