#4itotial ftems. THE OALL FOE HALF-A MILLION MORE Moßt persons, doubtless, were sur prised that so large a number of men .Was, on last Monday, summoned by the President into the field. Perhaps they are more than are actually needed; but they prove that the Administration is determined to have enough. They show that it is determined to persist in that energetic course first shown by calling that resolute, earaost warrior, General Grant, to the command of its armies. The government not only will not de ceive the people, but will not leave them any chance to deceive themselves. By this call, which must bo felt by its pop ulation, it will bring the stern reality of the struggle home to the conviction of all; it will waken any that were slum bering over the fancied easiness of crushing the rebellion this season; it will turn more positively, and with moro singleness of aim, the national life and energies to the great and, for the time being, all-sufficient work of saving the country. And in the name of all that is precious and honorable in homo, coun try, National life and power, law, gov ernment, authority, liberty, and human advancement, let us respond to this call also, with more than cheerfulness, with loyal zeal and patriotic devotion; nay, with rejoicing that another oppor tunity to succor our beloved country in' the hour of peril, and to contribute to the advancement of our race, is offered us. These are stii’ring and solemn times, in which we livo. Vast questions and experiments in government are now agitated amid other conflicts than that of the pen. Great interests of humanity for all races and all time aj“c at stake. The South fights, on the one hand, for the inauguration of the very principle of lawlessness in all free governments, and for the right of trampling under foot all rights of those not recognized as equals; the North fights for tho right of all governments, and especially free gov ernments,to maintain themselves against internal resistance and disobedience, and for the cause ot the oppressed every where. We who, live amid this vast struggle must not shut our &tof» to its historic grandeur and significance, and must not ■ prove ourselves unworthy of our age and of our providential position by a cowardly shrinking from its serious duties. God help us to bear them all. As to this half a million soldiers, we trust the government will sec to it that one hundred thousand of the colored men of tho country have the opportu nity to help make up the number. One good negro soldier is worth two or throe of those white soldiers whom, by our system of bounties. we are so apt to draw from the lower strata of our city population, and as to the rest, let us manfully lay out our work, in city, ward, town, borough and district, and save our country so far- as, practicable, from the draft. So far as practicable, let our army be leavened, and its morale elevated by the presence of the high minded, conscientious Christian volun teer. .Regiments made up of such mate rial; fighting by the side of our colored would bo irresistible in their onset troops, upo n tho shallow madness of the Southern rebellion. REV, GEORGE SCOTT, D. D. We are gratified by learning that the degree of doctor of divinity lias been conferred by the Trustees of Monmouth College, Illinois, on our respected bro ther, Rev. Geo. Scott, recently pastor cf the Reformed Presbyterian Chursfe, .Darlington. Pa. Dr. Scott bas been for more than thirty years, an indefatigable and very successful minister of the Gos pel, and in addition to his pastoral du ties ho has dono good service in the cause of education, A nnmber of his pupils have attained prominent posi tions in the literary, religious or mer cantile world, several honored ministers of onr own Church, some living, some entered into the rest, havo been his pu pils. While impaired health has obliged him to relinquish his pastoral charge, he is still “neither idle nor unfruitful in the wo.rk of Lord." It will be pleasing to his numerous and warmly attached friends to know that an institution so respectable that a degree from it is really an honor, has recognized his merit. A DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER. Thursday, the 4th of August, two weeks from to-day, has been appointed by the President, at the suggestion of both Houses of Congress, a day of fast ing and prayer in view of the delay ex perienced in the work of subduing the rebellion. The proposal is timely and appropriate, and would doubtless he acted upon generally by our people, hut for the scattered condition of the con gregations, in our cities and large towns 'at this season of the year. We shall publish the proclamation in our next issue. §tow*f Ife (SfamHus. Indianapolis. —On July 3d, the Sec ond Church, Indianapolis, Ind., (Rev. Hanford A.

Jibe true critic a longer silence. There is published in this city every week, a journal which professes to be the expo nent of the highest type of religious life in America. It has a large circulation and great influence. It is sent forth to be the Sabbath reading of the land. There is hardly a village, north, east, or west, where it is not more or less known. And in con sideration of its great pretenses, its supposed corps of Christian writers, and its position at the head of a prominent religious organi zation, it likes to be thought the great reli gious journal of New York, and, indeed, of the country. Thus much for its position and responsibility. A copy of the New York Independent for. June 30, 1864, lies before us. We took it up with the thought that so vast a field for a great and Christian influence is presented to no other agency. We took it up, too, thinking that for the time we should be in sympathy with a finer sen timent, a truer and calmer thought, and a nobler style of journalism than the secular press presents. Wethoughi to read..of the higher life—the inner experiences—the soul power of man. And here is the result: Whole number of columns , ; 48 Columns of advertisements ,;26 Editorial religious articles none. Columns of war, politics, and finance u “ “ Mr. Beecher’s sermon 5 « « Market reports 1 “ u Religious news 2 Number of religious articles 3 How far this table justifies the Independent in calling itself a religious paper, we leave to the good sense of our readers to determine. The Christian element hardly thought of in a journa Iprofessing to be the leading reli gious paper of the land 1 Hardly a breath of the pure; world—the grander life! All weighed down and .almost smothered with the lore of money and the world! Putting the most secular of papers into the hands of Sabbath readers under the guise of religion! Shame, a thousand times Bhame on the au thors of such an example. But this is not all. We took up this copy of the Independent expecting to find its mass PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1864. of shameless and revolting advertisements somewhat abated. But the vilest of the vile advertisements which we know secular papers to have refused over and over again, defile its pages. And this almost side by side with Mr. Beecher’s sermons! On one page a poem entitled The Sword of Christ," and near-by the most infamous cards of wicked poison-makers! Is there no wrong here? Can a man serve two masters ? It is sad to think that the evil must thus go forth with scarce a grain of the good ; that men and women, under the garb, of sanctity, must receive into their homes that which under other circumstances they would blush to come in contact with. We have no other word for such a mischief except imposture. And such it is. Better a thousand times that it be buried from sight “and memory for ever than that it go forth to lessen man’s respect for things high and holy, if it must meddle with po litics and war and finance and speculat on and the markets, then it were better that drop from its heading the motto ' w hich it flaunts, “ Not as pleasing men > ' ou j £ oc j \» We cannot but believe that the evil will in time bring about its own most effective remedy. Christian men and women will not always be blind to the sop that is put before ?0r Will the Congregational churches of the country be contented to be thus represented by an organ whose first and last desire seems to be to acquire wealth. In time the demand for a religious paper will be met, or it may be that tide of favor which now flows towards this imposture of journalism will turn in another direction, and give encouragement to some paper now weaker in money, but stronger ip morals. Such a punishment would be but justice. There is a point of forbearance beyond which the people will not go. —Round Ta ble. The Sanitary Commission Journal, saj’s: — “ Our receipts in supplies last year amount ed to $2,000,000; at the rate at which they have been coming in during the last four months they will not this year amount to more than $1,000,000,- —in other words they have fallen off exactly one-half. This leaves the value of our receipts, including those de rived from the Fairs, not what it was in 1863, but in reality much lower." In referring to this statement one of our cotemporaries justly remarks that, whatds said of Fairs for the Sanitary Commission-Is equally true of Fairs for churches and all benevolent objects; they are only evil, and that continually. They do not bring out as much money as would be raised for the same object without them, and what money they do secure is obtained on a principal that does not secure the Divine blessing with it.— Standard. ; Mr. James G.

This 13 not true. The excellencies of the CABINET ORGANS which have given them their high reputation, arise net merely from (he superiority of their workmanship, but also, in large measure, from essential dhterexces in construction, which being patented by us, cannot be imitated by other makers. Prom these arise their better quality and volume of tone,and capacity for ex pression. Every Cabinet Organ has upon its name board in full, theword?. “ MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN."

It covers a field hitherto unoccu pied by any work accessible to the mere English reader yel one of the deepest interest to the student of history. Huss was in some respects the noblest and purest of the great reformers, while his lofty aims, his life-long struggle and martyr-death invest' his career with more than the charm of romance. As the vietjm of the Council of Constance, we see Iran the central figure of a group which might well be de scribed as representative Christendom. In the elucida tion of his career, and in tracing the fete of his fol lowers down to the period of the Thirty Years’ War, the condition of Papal Europe for more than a century is depicted. The leading minds of the age are made to pass before us, and we discern the influences and causes which produced the Great Re formation of the succeeding eentnry, as well as the relation sustained to it by the labors, and fate of Huss.

Newton Frown, D. /)., Biiior of the Ency* clopcedia of Rdigious Knowledge: Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingre dients and effects; I yet know of no sufficient why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes himself to have received, from any simple preparation in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit oi others. I do this more readily in .regard to Hoofland’s German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alco holic mixture. I am indebted to my friend.
