The Chronicle says the at tempt failed because-the majority of the missiona ries took the very strong ground that it is not only their privilege but their ,sacred duty to commune with pious Pedo-baptista, After such a declara tion) it was of course evident that we. could no lon £er, as a denomination, co-operate with the Grand Itgae Mission, The influential brethren in Canada W est and.

Army of the Potomac, Nov. 15th.—A cavalry reconnoissance to the Rapidan revealed the presence of the enemy in entrenchments along the South bank. As our cavalry approached they were greeted with a few guns from tho-rebel entrenchments, but our light battery soon silenced them. A small number of sharpshooters were seen in the rifle pits, and shortly afterwards a strong infantry force was discovered. The river was too much swollen by the heavy storm of Saturday night to cross, and so our cavalry returned. Soon after their withdrawal the enemy threw over two or three regiments to this side of the river, but not beyond the cover of their guns on the heights at Raccoon Ford. A brigade of the 3d Corps last week, turned out and recon structed the fencing on the farm of John Minor Botts, which had been destroyed by the troops encamped in that vicinity. Mr. Botts is now at home and in good heath and spirits. The South-west,— The telegraph has been exten ded from St. Louis to Fort Smith, on the western boundary of Arkansas, nearly half-way down to Texas. Our advance is, at Waldron, 40 miles further South. At last accounts the rebel Cooper was flying to Red River. Chattanooga, and East Tennessee.— We have rumors of Longstreet’s advance upon Burnside in East Tennessee. The Rebel newspaper expresses confidence that Knoxville will be recaptured and that will cripple Grant. It admits that Bragg cannot take Chattanooga without greater loss than the South can sustain. A correspondent of this paper writing from Chattanooga says: “This new move on the military chess-board, by which the Federals got possession of Lookout Yalley and the railroad to Bridgeport, was a mas terly stroke. The conception was brilliant, execu ted admirably, and the combination faultless. Everything slipped from us so easily, or was taken so adroitly, we hardly know when it was done. There is no longer any doubt of the Federal commander’s ability to obtain supplies this winter unless speedily overcome. To do this we shall have •to fight another battle, and overcome physical difficulties of a_ serious character. Why, then, should we remain longer in the mud and water of Chattanooga Valley ?” , Qur own advices say:— Hooker’s position is considered impregnable. Communication by the river between Brown’s Ferry, two miles below, and Bridgeport is uninter rupted and secure._ Wagons pass daily by the river road. Supplies for men and animals aro accumulating steadily. The dead point of danger is pasfc The army- is sanguinand the futureis bright. , The enemy hold Lookout yet;' and throws shell occasionally in both directions. Nearly all fall short._ None have been injured in thy city, and but one killed and one wounded in Lookout Valley. The most important recent item from this quarter is conveyed, in a dispatch dated Nov. 16th, an nouncing that Gen. Sherman was at Gen. Thomas’ headquarters; having formed a junction with Gen. Grant’s right. The attack on Burnside.— The long meditated attack of the enemy oa Burnside has been made. It was commenced by an attack of Burnside on the enemy’s advance on the 14th, after which our troops retired to Lenoir. The Knoxville despatch to the Herald says: Three desperate charges were made upon our positions during Sunday night, but they were handsomely repulsed. o,n Monday morning, Gen. Burnside evacuated Lenoir, but, owing to the energy with which the rebel pursuit was kept up, it was determined to give them.a decided check, and accordingly he came into line of battle at Campbell Station, when a fight ensued, lasting from_ late in the forenoon until dark, Our first position commanded the road from both sides, the infantry deployed in Front of' this, and were soon attacked by the enemy, who made several gallant charges, and finally succeeded by- out-flanking our men m driving them to the cover of the batteries, which now opened a terrible and destructive fire. The rebels retired before it, gave way, and eventu ally fell back to the river. 1 Gen. Burnside then continued his retreat to Knoxville, where he arrived on Tuesday the 17th, On Wednesday the rebels drove our men by a desperate charge one third of a mile from their first position. Oar losses are reported at from three hundred to five hundred; that of the enemy is put at 1500. Chattanooga, Nov. 18th.—The desertions from the rebel army are now more numerous than at any time since the expulsion of Bragg from Middle Tennessee. The demoralization ot the rebels in creases daily; On tha other hand, Grant’s troops are all in splendid spirits; re-enlistments in the veteran corps are more numerous than was expec ted, and good authority' says that not less than fonr-fifths of the entire force will enter the army for the new term. Siege of Charleston, Nov. 15th.—Our fire on Sumter still continued, though the rebels claim that it occasions no father injury. 'Rebel dispatches say that on the 17th Gen. GUl more threw 25 shell into the city from Battery Gregg, A monitor was also engaged in reootmoi tering the channel. The blockade-runner steamer Ella was captured in her first attempt to run into Wilmington, N. C., Nov. 10th. Her cargo was on account of the rebol government. Our cruisers are becoming sufficiently active off this port so iong open to contraband trade. Supplies to our prisoners returned.— The Steamer Convoy, which left Ft. Monroe Nov. 14th, with provisions and clothing for our soldiers held as prisoners in Richmond, returned on the 16th, bring ing back the provisions. t Col. Irving went in charge, and was refused the privilege of taking the rations to Richmond. Later dispatches are more reassuring. The sup plies sent by the Government have been permitted to reach their destination by the rebel authorities. The rumor that the rebels have permittted clothing to be distributed and not food is an error. Forty eight thousand rations'sent by the Secretary of War last week have been received, and a letter to the Government from General Neal Dow states that, they have, been distributed. The error was Caused by the fact that the rebel , authorities would not permit the officer in charge’ to accompany the rations farther than City Point. - Baltimore, Nov, 18th.—One hundred and fifty of our paroled men have just arrived at Annapolis from Richmond, They are in a wretched condition. Six died on their way up. The Christian Commis-' sion is administering to the relief of their-necessi ties. The First National Bank, Phila.— This institu tion, which was established iu July last, with a capital ot $150,000, have met with great success, and in order to afford increased facilities to the public, has increased the capital stoek to $500,000. We understand says the U. S- Gazette, that Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co., and E. W. Clarke & Co, own a large proportion of the stock. Delaware in the line. —The opponents of the Administration in Delaware were so disheartened, that in the election for Congressman on the 19th, they withdrew the name of their candidate, and Smithers, unconditional Union and Emancipation candidate was elected without opposition. 1863. 72 ' 66 ■ 62 17 11 15 39 30 32 New York City Judiciary.— The New York Advertiser says that the election returns officially revised, elect Judge Bosworth over MeCunn by a 'majority of fifteen. This result is obtained without the tenth district of .the Eighth ward, where Mol Cunn claims to have 173 majority. From this district the returns show ho votes fur him. There is yet a Chance that New York city will be savad the disgrace of having elected such a brawler as MeCunn to any office- , Another Rebel Canadian plot to invade Yer mont to seize Fort Montgomery, destroy the draw bridge at Rouse’s Point and plunder JPlattsburg and Burlington is believed to have been started in Mon treal. A dispatch from Burlington, Yt., Nov. 22d, says: Information of suck a plot reached Governor Smith and Collector Clapp, of this port, on’Friday. They immediately took steps to communicate with the officer in charge of Fort Montgomery, and soon had its guns manned and ready to give the rene- Jtmniran fftfjsliigtenM and <sfi itstt (Swatiplisit. . gades a warm reception.

ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS remain unsold, and this amount is scarcely sufficient to fur nish a basis for the circulation of the National Bank ing Associations now being formed in every part of the country. But a short timehiuSt elapse before this Loan is wholly absorbed, the demand from Europe,' Germany especially, being quite active. As it is well-known that the Secretary of the Treas ury has ample and unfailing resources ,in the duties On imports; internal revenues, and in the issue of in terest-bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is nearly certain thatjt will not. b i necessary for him, for a long time to come, to wade farther permanent loans, ,the.interest and on which are payable in-gold. ' • These considerations mbit the prompt con clusion that the time is, not faf, distant when these “ Five-Twenties ” will sell at aihandsome premium, as was the result with the “Seven-Thirty ” Loan, when it was all sold, and could nb longer be subscri bed at par. ' • j ■ This is a - S SIX PER CENT. LOAN, t 3 the interest and principal being payable in coin, thus yielding about EIGHT PER GENT, per annum at the present premium on gold. . It is called “Five-Twenty,” !from the fket that whilst the Bonds may run. for twenty years, yet the Government has the right to pay them off in gold, at par, at any time after five ybars, • The interest is paid half-yearly, on the first days of November and May. : • Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are pay able to bearer, and issued for $5O, $lOO, $5OO, and $l,OOO, or Registered Bonds otsimilar denominations, and, in addition, $5,000 and fojlOO. These “Five-Twenties" cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns or eonntib% and Government tax on them is only one and a half per cent, on the amount of income, when the income exoeeds six hundred dol lars per annum.

Great Intcmatumal Exhi bition at Hamhurg, July, 1863, This wort is the production of a gifted young cler gyman, and is founded npon his own experience in his first settlement. “It possesses many of the first elements of popularity; it is original, witty, full of life and interest, in many traits profoundly truthful and touching, and calculated to encourage and fore warn the Young Pastor, as well as rebuke the trouble some classes of persons to be found in every Church.” Eev. Richard BTewtox, D.D., says of It:— “I have read ‘The Young Parson’ with unusual Interest. It abounds with life-like sketches. There is a rich vein of genuine humor pervading it, mingled with deep and touching pathos. At the same time it illustrates and Unfolds the pre cious, life-giving truths of the gospel with clearness, discrimi nation and power. It is almost enjoyable book.” “The book deserves a wide circulation.”— Uirietian Intelli gencer. “An exceedingly attractive volume. The author is a master hand at delineating character.” —Reformed Presbyterian. “One of the principal charms of the book is its ddelity to nature. The humor of which the buck has Its full share is rich and refined, while its pathos is so touching as frequently to moisten the eye with a tear. The. religious tendency of the volume is unexceptionable.” —The Evangelist. “The writer may sefely put his name on the title-page, with the confidence of having written one of the truest and most amusing books of the yeir.” —The Press.
