The union of Missionaries and the |
friends of Missions for the purpose of
mutual Btipport and enlightenment, and
for friendly intercourse, is one of the
signs of the times. The great Confer
ence at Liverpool, of 1860, has been
followed by one of analogous character,
though on a smaller and merely local
scale in the Punjab, in Northern-India.
This latter included missionaries of the
Church of England, the Presbyterian,
the Reformed, and the United Presby
terian Churches, the Church of Scotland
and the Methodist Episcopal Church,
bosides many lay members, whose de
nomination is not given. Subjects of
tho highest practical interest were ear
nestly discussed by means of brief
written essays followed by voluntary
remarks from the members, each of
whom brought the stock of his expe
rience to swell the common fund. Among
the subjects discussed we notice: Schools;
Itinerations; Lay Co-operation; Medical
Missions ; Native Pastorate; Sympathy
and Confidence of Native Christians;
Polygamy and Divorce; Inter-mission
Discipline; an Indian Catholic Church.
The most lively and painful interest
was roused by the discussion on the
sympathy and confidence of native
Christians. The opening essay, by Rev.
David Herron, frankly admitted the
want of sympathy between missionaries
and converts, and several natives pre
sent, testified, in very strong language,
to tho same fact. The revelations were
far from pleasant, yet if a rankling evil
has been brought to the broad light Of
a Christian council of disinterested men,
by this Conference, it has oven thus
accomplished good. The idea of a
Catholic, or comprehensive church, em
bracing all the evangelical Christians of
India in one general fold, was ably and
hopefully advocated by not afe w. Mis
sionaries may become pioneers in 'the
work of genuine Christian union. The
very kfiotty subject of Polygamy and
Divorce occupied considerable attention.
A Bible and Tract Society for the Pun
jab was formed, to whom was assigned
the question of a standard authorized
version of the Scriptures in Hindu. A
central committee was organized to
counsel with missionary bodies in secular
matters, to provide Bnpport for native
Christians and inquirers, and to promote
a vernacular Christian literature. A
General Committee of Reference was
formed, for determining* differences of
opinion between missionary bodies. Tho
enactment of suitable laws on marriage
and divorce as affecting native converts
was asked. A committee was also ap
pointed with reference to a larger and
more systematic employment of .medical
missionaries. During the conference,
the Lord’s Supper was celebrated, in
which practical proof of the unity of the
various churches represented was given.
The book is valuable as revealing pecu
liarities of missionary character and life,
and as furnishing a guide iq difficult
questions arising in missionary opera
tions. A full index accompanies it.

Autobiography of General Win
field Scott.— Among the new books
now in preparation for the coming au
tumn, few are likely to command more
attention from the public than the auto
biography of General Winfield Scott
nowm the press of Messrs. Sheldon &
Co., New York. The volume will con
tain pen and ink sketches of noted con
temporaries, and willbe illustrated with
two_ steel engraved portraits.' It will
doubtless abound in matters of personal,
political, military, and historical in
terest.
“ The Army Ration/’— This is the
title of a work prepared' by E. N. Hors
ford, late Rumford Professor of Chemis
try in Harvard University, and is the
result of au investigation made by Prof.
Horsford, at the request of officers con
nected with the administration of the
medical and subsistence departments of
the army. Tho author thinks he has
successfully shown that the present
marching ration, weighing thirty-two or
forty ounces and occupying about one
hundred cubic inches, may be reduced
in weight to thirteen or sixteen ounces
and in bulk to thirty five cubic inches,
without any diminution of nutritive
value, and this not by means of concen
trated extracts of food, but simply by
removing the inedible portions and the
water, by compression. The opinion of
this eminent chemist is certainly wor
thy of all consideration. If it were
found correct in ■ practice, it would
greatly simplify all army movements,
especially those of an invading force,
moving like Sherman upon a long line
ol communication.
Public Libraries. —We learn from
that invaluable annual, Child’s National
Almanac for 1864, that the number of
libraries exceeding 10,000 volames in
Great Britain and Ireland in 1856 was
43 ; in France, at the same date, 38; in
the United States, in 1863, 104. The
aggregate number of volumes in these
104 libraries was 2,403,477, “ which is
probably about one-fifth of the total
number of. books contained in all the
public and educational libraries of the
United States.” Most of the libraries of
the country have bad a*very prosperous
year. Of the Philadelphia Mercantile
Library, the American Literary Gazette
says, that the year just closed has been
one of the most important in its history.
An increase of $1 in the annual dues of
members has already produced excel
lent results, which will probably be
more marked in the future. 4,135 vol
umes have been added during the year,
at a cost of a little over §1 a volume.
“ The library now contains over 25,000
volumes.” John Edmands is the oblig
ing Librarian.
FOREIGN,
Nathaniel Hawthorne. —The leading
literary and political newspapers of
England have noticed the death of Mr.:
Hawthorne, in the kindest and most ap
preciative manner, and some of the Lon
don publishers are bringing out rival
cheap editions of his favorite works.
French Items. —The Paris correspon
dent of the American Literary Gazette
says : The sale of the poems of Alfred
de Musset continues tb be so great that
the profits on them have paid all of the
expenses of the “Revue Rationale."
You know how heavy these expences
are first years of the estab
lishmentofaperiodical.——M. Ernest Re
nan, in the Ist May number of tbe “Re
vue des Mondes,” attributes the relative
inferiority of Yankee literature “to the
absence of great institutions for intel
lectual interests, such as our Universi
ties and Academies.” The Archbishop
of Paris has decided that henceforth a
priest or priests shall annually be sent
to Germany, to acquire. that knowledge
of critical methods which may enable
them 'successfully to defend religion
against modern physician,
the author of a work on homoeopathy.,
Dr. Courty de La Pommerais, is now
lying under sentence of death for
poisoning a woman whoso life he. had
insured for $llO,OOO.
Increase of the Vocabulary of the Latin
Language. —M. Quicberat was lately
elected to a vacant seat in the. French
Academy of Belles La tires and Inscrip
tions. His principal recommendation,
according to the correspondent of the
Literary Gazette, to a seat in the learned
company is his Addenda Lexieis .Latinis,
which is really one of the most valu
able contributions made to the study-of
tbe Latin language for many years. Of
a truth, since Forcellini published his
noble dictionary, it is one of the most
valuable works which have appeared.
Its chief merit lies in its wise liberality
in admitting to its pages those Latin
words to which former Latin lexicogra
phers refused'freedom of dictionary,
upon the ground that no Latin words
should appear except such as were to
be found in the purest Latin authors.
What would be said of a lexicographer
who should refuse to admit in his woi-k
all English words except those found in
the writers of the reigns from Elizabeth
to Annie, both inclusive? Neverthe
less, this rule has been so generally ac
cepted in tbe learned world, that even
Herr Wilhelm Freund’s immense dic
tionary, which appeared at Leipsic in
1834, does not contain a single new
word. M. Quicherat has collected no
loss than 4,000 new words in-the Latin,
and several thousand more in the glos
saries. He even found one new word
in the classical authors which have been
examined with the microscope since the
revival of learning; this is the adverb
dire. And he discovered the nobility of
the verbs lecture, seriptare, frequenta
tives of legere and scribere, which have
been expelled from Horace by critics

Leonardo da Vinci. —A letter from
Italy, in a recent number of “ The Athe
naeum,” says : “ The prophecy that tho
present generation would be the last
privileged to see even traces of the
once glorious picture ol ‘TheLast Sup
per,’ by Leonardo da Vinci, is unfortu
nately bornq out by the state of that
work. A more complete wreck cannot
well be conceived—so complete that it
is now almost impossible to distinguish
even the outline of theprineipal figures.
This picture may bo cited as one of the
most remarkable instances Of the perish
able nature of oil colors. It was finish
ed about 1498. In 1540, one half is
said to have nearly disappeared, and
ten years later nothing but the outline
remained. How artists undertook to
restore it, and what ruin they wrought,
is well known. Very instructive, though
not a little vexatious, is the fact/that
while this oil picture has disappeared,
the large fresco of the Crucifixion, by
Montorfano, executed in 1405, on the
wall opposite ‘ The Last Supper,’ is in
good condition ; and we have many ex
amples of admirably-preserved frescoes
which date many centuries back."
A SENSIBLE AND ENCOURAGING
VIEW.
The New York Times of July 7th,
takeß the following view of the situa
tion so far as concerns the Army of the
Potomac and Richmond. We commend
it especially to those inclined to de
spond :
What now is specially needed is pa
tience on the part of the people. Let
loyal men throughout the North but
possess their souls with the resolute
spirit of their great military leader, and
it. is certain that the rebellion cannot
hold out many months longer. We
don’t say this with any, prophesying
disposition. Predictions lie like broken
potsherds along the whole path of this
war.' All sensible men have long since
ceased to value them, come from what
quarter they may. But a mathematical
calculation from settled data is now a
1 prediction. The present situation ad
mits of such calculation, and therein it
differs from all that have preceded it.
Hitherto, the future has been divined
mainly from anticipated issues of par
ticular battles, or particular strategic
movements. If some great conflict
were impending, the superiority of our
army in numbers would give many
minds an absolute confidence that the
enemy must sustain a crushing defeat,
which would end the rebellion. When
the conflict came, owing to some unap
preciated advantage of the enemy in
position, or some other cause, it would
give us hut a drawn battle, or, at most,
an indecisive victory. ;
'The particular’care 6f the rebel gene-'
rals always to beep open their line of
retreat, has almost uniformly deprived
even our positive successes of nearly all
practical fruits. So far as mere strategy
is concerned, it is always idle to,prog
nosticate its results; for in our neces
sarily imperfect knowledge of the
enemy, it can never be fully known
what counter-strategy may be brought
to meet it/ Thus predictions of decisive
overthrows from particular movements
or encounters have a hundred times
failed. Fair as they have been on the
surface, there has always been enough
of the uncertain element in them as to:
make them worthless.
There is now, we think, an essential
change in the situation. Geographi-;
cally, the two great armies have revers-:
ed their positions. The Army of the
Potomac bears upon Lee from the south
instead of thehiorth. This of itself tells
with consequence upon Lee’s lines of
supplies and of retreat, for these lines
all run southward; we believe it can
surely be calculated with fatal conse;
quence.
Let us look calmly. The business of
the Army of the Potomac hitherto has
been to be assailants. Its object was
the rebel capital, and to secure that it
had to maintain the aggressive. It hadi
to give battle at the enemy’s intrenched
positions; and, if successful, it was only
to find itself confronted with other posi-'
tions yet more formidable. Such a mode
of aggressive warfare must put any
army, however brave or numerous, at
an immense disadvantage.
To declare positivelythat .it will ever
attain its object is unsafe; that it will
attain it by a certain specified time is
simple presumption. The change oppo
sition has made it no longer necessary
for the Army of the Potomae, or at least
its great body, to be assailants. Rich 1
mond is not now the immediate, but the
ultima,'e object. Tbe special purpose
now is to destroy the communications
leading into Richmond. That destruc
tion is to be accomplished mainly by
cavalry.
The infantry have simply to main,
tain their present advanced positions as
the base for. cavalry expeditions. Their
business is chiefly defensiveand so
long as it is certain that their present
intrenchments cannot be carried either
by strategem or battle, with any force
the enemy can bring against them, an
end is made of a whole class of contin
gencies that always threatened when
they were-on the aggressive. So far as
regards that, then, the future may be
counted upon with far lesß uncertainty
than ever.
It is certain that the resources of
Yirginia cannot for any long period
support Lee’s great army, without tak
ing into account at all the fact that
these resources are certainly reduced by
the great number of noncombatants
within the State who are incapable of
being removed. It is certain that there
are but two railroad lines which can
contribute supplies without, and that
the means for transportation by the
common roads, for the seasons of the
year when these roads are practicable,:
are too limited to be of any material
service.
Tbe only question then is, whether
our cavalry can keep these two railroads
permanently unavailable. W e don’t
see how it is possible for any one who
has read of the Work just done by Gene
rals Wilson and Kautz, to doubt it. It
is officially stated that sixty miles of the
railroads were so destroyed that it would
be impossible to rebuild them in less
than a month. This :op:eration can be
repeated as often as occasion demands.
With our great superiority in cavalry,
and with our acquired knowledge of the
country, the enemy cannot prevent
these swoops.
Had they five times their number of
meD, they could not effectually guard
these long lines of railroad, located at
no greater distance from our army base.
A few minutes’ work at any one point
in the burning of bridges, or the blow
ing up of a culvert, prevents the trans
mission of troops from one threatened
point to another. And a day's uninter
rupted work of destruction on any part
of the line is enough to neoessiate a
whole month’s incessant work of repair
ing. It is not within the limits of phy
sical possibility of General Lee to keep
these railroads open against General
Grant’s continued attacks. That Gene
ral Grant will continue these attacks as
often as need be, no one who knowsahy
thing of his tenacity of purpose can
doubt.
It all, then, comes to this :—The
Army of the Potomac is now planted in
a position which is secure against all at
tack—a position which relieves it from
all the rißks of delivering battle, and a
position which gives it the command of
means of communication absolutely ne
cessary to the enemy’s subsistence.
What else then is wanted for the cap
ture of Richmond? Nothing—abso
lutely nothing, but time. As surely as
Lee’s army and the population of Vir
ginia cannot live on air, just so surely
their means of subsistence must be con
tinually ;diminishing fromthe time the
present limited crop is gathered.
‘ The crop, so far from sufficient to
Carry them to the harvest of next year,
cannot subsistthem, short of starvation;
rations, even to the end of the present
year. But a few months at furthest are
necessary to compel Lee either to aban
don Virginia, thus isolated from the
rest of the “Confederacy,” or to sur
render. If ho attempts to abandon it,
without railroads to aid him, it is hard
to see how it will be possible for him to
get tho necessary transportation indis
pensable to any great army movement.
The attempt even., at best, would be an
exceedingly difficult and dangerous one.
With such a General as Grant on his:
flanks and in his rear, Lee could hardly
get through to a new base of supplies
without general disorganization.
It is foe the Northern people to main
tain their patience and confidence, and
let General Grant manage this business
in his own way. If he prefers to oper
ate by slow and sure methods, as at-
Vicksburg, instead of by constant at
tacks of do.ubtful issue and involving
great sacrifices of-life, all true men will
cheerfully recognize its wisdom, and
calmly await the final triumph, even
though it comes not for many months
yet. When it does come it will be all
the more complete and decisive.
PISH STEALING—A HOTTENTOT
FABLE.
The following is taken from a recent
English translation of Hottentot Fables:
and is given as a specimen of the men-:
tal calibre and ingenuity of that peo-:
pie, hitherto regarded as at the lowest
point of human degredation :
“Once upon a tim.e a jackal, who
lived oh the borders of the colony, saw
wagon returning from the seaside
laden with fish. He tried to get into
the wagon from behind, but he could
not; he then ran on before, and lay in
the road as if dead. The wagon came
up to him, and the leader cried to the
driver ‘ Here is a fine kaross for your
wife!’ ' Throw it intb the wagon,’ said :
the driver, and .the jackal was thrown
in. The wagon traveled oh through a
moonlight night, and all the while the
jackal was throwing the fish out into
the road; he then jumped out himself,
and secured, a great prize. But a stupid
old hyena coming by, ate more than her;
share, for which the jackal owed her a
grudge-; so he said to her, ‘ You can get
plenty of fish, too, if you lie in the way
of a wagon as I did, and keep quite still
whatever happens.’ ‘So !’ mumbled the
hyena. Accordingly, when the next
wagon came from the sea, the hyena
stretched herself out on the road. ' What
ugly thing is this?’ cried the leader,
and kicked the hyena. He.then took a
’ stick and thrashed her within an inch of
her life. The hyena,. acecording to the ;
directions of the jackal, lay quiet as long
as she could.; then got up and hobbled
off to tell her misfortunes to the jackal,
who -pretended to comfort her. ‘ What
a pity/ said the hyena, ‘that I have
not such a handsome skin as you !’ ”
THE GLORY OF THE PINES.
Magnificent! nay, sometimes, almost ter
rible! Other trees, tufting crag or hill,
yield to the form and sway of the ground,
clothe it with soft compliance, are partly its
flatterers, partly its comforters. But the
pine is serene resistance, self-contained;
nor can I ever, without awe, stay long under
a great Alpine cliff, far from all house or
work of men, looking up to its companies of
pine, as they stand on tile inaccessible juts
and perilous ledges of the enormous wall, in
quiet multitudes, each like” the shadow of
the one beside it, upright, fixed, spectral,
as troops not knowing each other, dumb
forever. You cannot reach them, cannot
cry to them, those trees never heard human
voice; they are far above all sound but of
winds. No foot ever stirred fallen leaf of
theirs. All comfortless they stand, between
the two eternities of the vacancy and the
Rock; yet with such iron will, that the rock
itself looks bent and shattered beside them;
fragile, weak, inconsistent, compared to
their dark energy of delicate life and mono
tony of enchanted pride; numbered uncon
querable.— -Jtuskin.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Among the many publications from the press this is
eminently timely. Setting out with the idea that the
present calamities upon our countiy are the just judg
ments ot God for our national sins, it faithfully proceeds
to show the prominent ways by which, as a nation, we
have sinned, viz:—By adopting a National Constitution
which makes no formal recognition of God; by not re
garding as a nation civil government as an ordinance of
God; by disregarding the law of God in relation to the
moral character of our civil rulers; and by maintaining
slavery, and refusing to try it by the word of Goa.
These are its leading positions, and they are generally
well maintained, we would rejoice to sce thiß pam
phlet have a wide circulation. —Christian Instructor .
It is a sound, earnest, patriotic'plea for national re
ligion and national righteousness, and it should be read
and circulated over the land by the hundred thousand.
What our nation needs now, mpre than increased forces
or able generals, Is a reverent recognition of the author
ity* sovereignty, and holiness of Jehovah of Hosts.—AT.
Y. Evangelist. ~
A vigorous and earnest appeal for national repentance
and amendment. We are refreshed in turning from
Bishop Hopkins’ sophistical arguments to the straight
forward declaration of the pamphlet—“ There is no
small measure of guilt incurred by justifying slavery
from the Bible, ana at the same time refusing to try our
stavery by the Bible.” —American Presbyterian.
It is pious and patriotic, and has, in opposition to its
long-winded rival [“Hopkins on Slavery”], the rather
important advantage of truth.—Xufifccran.
A lucid, faithful, earnest, honest tract, exactly suited
to our national exigency. It is definite in its statements,
puts its linger on fcne sins, the aetual sins of the land,
and exhibits the principles on which Jehovah deals
with nations. The author, at page 51, makes sad havoc
with the popular fallacy, that Because the Hebrews had
slavery, therefore Southern slavery was legitimate.—
