Wc are able to announce some valuable additions to our list of premiums which at the present season of high prices we are sure will be appreciated by our friends, and es pecially by our ministerial brethren, whose inadequate salaries forbid any large appro priations for books.

JOHN HESS AND HIS TIMES. We are still sending this great work, writ ten in the fresh graphic style of Mr. Gillett m response to orders froin those procuring new subscribers, and have more copies to be disposed of in the same way. Sent for four subscribers, and the pay, $lO, in advance. ADYANOE IN PEIOES, Our readers will not be surprised to learn that we are compelled to follow the univer sal upward movement of prices and to ask an, advance upon our present terms. We cannot tell them how often, since the open ing of the year, we have been compelled to submit to this process ourselves, in every department of our work. We must now ask •our subscribers to aid in bearing these accu mulated burdens. We shall add but a small percentage to our former charges, believing that the increase of circulation will be suffi cient, with this charge, to meet the addi tional expense to which we are subject. We therefore call their attention to the follow ing announcement: INCREASE OP PRICE, From and after September First To Mail Subscribers per annum If paid within three months - - 'To Cirr Subscribers per annum - If paid within three months - - - ■Clubs of ten or more by mail to one address, always strictly in advance and in one remittance, each - - - By carrier, each - - 'Ministers and ministers’s widows, sup plied at club rates. . ■Home Missionaries if paid within 3 months ... - The same liberal premiums for new sub ■ gcribers will be given as heretofore—so cts., for a single subscriber and $1 00 each for three or more.

J§*tigurus §ntelUgencie. Presbyterian. Death in the Ministry.—The Death of the Rev. Jonathan Cogswell, D. _D„ is an • noticed. ■ He died at New Brunswick, New Jersey, on Monday morning, August Ist, in ithe eighty-eighth year of his age. Dr. Cogs well was the oldest member of the Presby tery of New Brunswick, and has long home an honored name in the- ministry. He spent the last years of his life in the city of New Brunswick, where he was greatly es teemed, and where he was ready to give all aid and sympathy in every good work.—' Presbyterian. „ The Church, South.—TAe Presbyterian, has received copies of the Southern Presbyterian, containing items of interest. But four churches in the bounds of Charleston Pres bytery statedly assemble for worship. It is further Stated that a report of the Commits toe on the religious instruction of the oolored people, presented to Harmony Presbytery, was written by the Rev. Dr. J. Leighton Wilson, formerly of New York, and contains Six distinct recommendations. 1. That every Christian master should aim to have his negroes attend the same place of wor ship with himself. 2. That a small chapel should be erected on every plantation, where the black people might be assembled every Sabbath afternoon for religious wor ship, and where they may be taught hymns, portions of Scripture, and receive catecheti cal instruction. 3. That the servants of every plantation should be assembled at least one day in the chapel for prayers. 4. That the household servants should be re quired to attend morning and evening prayers with the white family. 5. That some measure be adopted by Presbytery in regard to the baptism of children of believ ing colored parents. 6. That the Presbytery exert all the influence possible to render sacred and permanent the marriage relation between the colored people, and especially among the members of. the Church. The Southern Presbyterians seem to be very ac tive and zealous in their efforts to supply the religious wants of their armies. They have more than one hundred missionaries in the service, and their expenditures are announced as exceeding $9OOO per month. They observe their fast days with sorupulous care. At the time of the late fast in the Confederacy, General Lee issued, an order that all military duties not absolutely neces sary should be suspended, and. that the chaplains should all hold divine service. In this, we think, many of ourown generals might‘find an example worthy of imitation. •The lessons of the war are not, it seems, wholly unheeded on the plantations; yet too late either to soften the grim aspect of the system, or save it from the doom its ad vocates madly hastened. Congregational. Congregationalism and the Beechers.—.We have given some of the fruits of the system indicated in the above heading ; and now some striking testimony is added from the pen of l£iss Catharine Beoher, who has recently written a book on “ The Religious Training of Children.” In a li-Her to her brother Ed ward, she says: My brother we are beW the public un r? ful reß Our gfaPhy 13 a ° W h^e the world, Of tS, PP ? arS A as a P defender of the New England system of theology and of the Suntan Church as based on that sys tem. And he earnestly trained all his chil dren m that system. And now you, his first educated son, even before his death, have issued two volumes to prove that this system is contrary to “ the principles of honor and right,” unless the theory of infant fore-existence is added to it—a theory which he and all other theolo gians, after reading your arguments, have rejected. His next oldest child has published two volumes to prove that all systems of theolo gy based on the theory of infant depravity are contrary both to common sense and the Bible. Then our younger brother, both as minis ter jand editor, has rejected the theory of in fant depravity and the whole system based on it. Still another brother has issed a volume repudiating the New England theory of. the atonement, held by our father, and also maintaining infant pre-existence as indis pensable to sustain the theology of most of the Protestant world. Catherine then thus compliments Charles and Henry Ward Beecher: “ One of my brothers was tortured and tried till his ‘ parish,’ resenting persecution of a faithful and successful pastor, took the case from the ‘ Church’ into their own hands, making salary and profession safe in spite of clerical interferences. And my editorial brother is saved from the same interference only by the conviction that his parish could and would sustain him by the same methods.” Resignation. —Rev. Dr. Parsons, of Matta poisett, has given notice to his people of his intention to resign his pastoral connection with them, about the first of September next. A Noble Woman Gone. —Died in Shelburne, Mass., after a most painful and distressing sickness, Miss Fidelia Fiske, aged-forty-eight years. This brief announcement will send a wave of grief over a large portion of our own land, and in every part of the heathen world occupied by our missionaries, and no where will that grief be more heartfelt than among the Neztorians for whom she labored so faithfully and with such success from 1843 till 1858. Dr. Anderson, Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., says of her, that no mis sionary whether in the ministry or out of it, could be missed more than she will be, and Rev. Mr. Stocking, once told some of her friends that she was more useful in Persia than any two missionaries there. Such state ments may seem exaggerations to those un acquainted with her, but they who enjoyed her acquaintance know that they are sober truths. “ Woman and her Saviour in Per sia,” which describes her missionary life will explain this.— Recorder. - $3 00 - 2 50 - 3 50 - 3 00 New Jersey. —The Cohansey Baptist Church located at Roadstown, Cumberland Co., is one of the oldest churches in the State, having been constituted in 1690. The First Church in Middletown was constituted in 1688, and the Piscataway Church 1689. These three Jersey churches, with two in Pennsylvania, were the original const tuents of the Philadelphia Association, which was formed in 1807. The Cohansey Church was formed of emigrants from Clonmell, Ireland, and is.the only instance in this country of a Baptist Church formed of emigrants from Ireland. . The present brick ' edifice was erected in Roadstown in the year 1800. During the first 149 years of their existence, the church had only six pastors, each of whom served them until removed by death. New York City. —The services at the laying of the corner-stone of the Fifth Avenue Church took place on Wednesday, July 27. After the papers were deposited in the stone, Dr. Anderson, of the first Church offered a prayer, and the pastor, Dr. Armitage, then gave a short history of the church, which was organized in 1841, under the pastoral care of Rev. George Benedict.— Chronicle. Missionaries. —The Rev. Dr. Dean and the Rev. Mr. Chiloott, recently appointed by the Missionary Union to the Chinese Mission at Bankok, expect to sail from New York on the 13th of August. - - - 1 50 The Western Christian. Advocate has the items below: Rev. D. R. M'A nally, D. D.—J. W. Tucker discourses as follows in the Southern Christian Advocate, With respect to the traitorous editor of the late St. Louis Advocate: “ It may be of some interest to the clerical friends of Dr. M’Anally to know that, while he has suffered much at the hand of oppres sion in St. Louis, he has suffered patiently, nobly, and has maintained from the begin r ning, and through the troubled period of the past three years, the character of a consist ent, high-toned patriot, [rebel] and a faith ful Christian minister.” He continues: “ The Advocate was suppressed. The last light was extinguished. Dr. M’Anally thenceforth devoted himself to the work of the ministry and the interests of the church with the means left him. But having done him one great injury, the bloody faction be came only more malignant and, vindictive toward- him, and threw him into prison. The country [the Confederacy] has no more devoted patriot—the church has no more faithful servant than David R. M’Anally, D. D., of St. Louis." Which, being interpreted, is, he was the worst of rebels, yet what a wail went up when we refused to harbor him among us 1 Feeding the Lambs. —The_ New: York cor respondent of the Zion’s’ Herald has the. following: “The directions of the General Conference'in respect to children will be very generally obeyed in the neighborhood of New York. Already the pastors are forming ‘ classes for children/ and in a few months we will have our catechumenicaT system in pretty full operation. I have no disposition to make any proud boasts in respect to this, section of our common Methodism-; and yet I am fully convinced that we are doing more than our brethren elsewhere for the childhood of the church. In the cities of New York and.. Brooklyn we make it our business to take hold of the and the next generation of Meth odists, in all the country round about this great oenfer, will show to church and the world the blessedness of this early cultiva tion. This new movement, organized in Philadelphia, in May last, in respect to the children of the church, is a most important one and the ministers of New York seem determined to lend all their influence toward giving it the highest efficiency. Some of our most popular ministers owe their positions, impart, to their loving sym pathy for the children." Episcopal. The Bigotry of High Church Episcopacy, The N. Y, Independent has the following: PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1864. Baptist. Methodist. The Calendar, the organ of Connecticut Episcopalianistn, has a writer who main tains the unlawfulness of allowing any so cial intercourse with the ministers of other denominations, even so far as to treat them with the civility shown to gentlemen. He says that, “ while we have given up the use of carnal weapons on our own account, we are bound to feel the strongest indignation toward those who trespass against the in terests of our Master or the Church." He maintains that they are “ wolves in sheeps’ clothing,” and utters his indignation in such terms as these: “ Yea, I hate them right sore; 1 count them mine enemies." And he declares it “ derogatory to the character of a Church clergyman to Bhake hands with a dissenting teacher,” or to take off the hat in politeness to him, or'to ask after his health and that of his family in neighborly kindness. We cannot deny that such a person might be acting in ac cordance with his professions, but we venture to predict that no man can carry out that principle in any enlightened community in this country, without finding himself “in Coventry,” and his social relations limited to his tradesmen and those of his own" sect who do not recognize the laws of courtesy and decency. A§ an offset to this, we ven ture to quote a paragraph from an eminent Roman Catholic writer of our own time and country: “ The Church has lost many nations from her external communion, but the world is more Catholic to-day than it was before the Protestant revolt, or even the Greek schism. Neither faith nor charity has j failed, nor been diminished, and the progress of modern civilization is the real expression of both. No man. who understands Christianity can exclude from Christendom the principal Protestant nations, or the nations that ad here, like Russia and Western Greece, to the schismatical Greek communion. We cannot look upon them as heathens, and treat them as aliens from the Christian family. We may often find in these not less (of) Catholic truth, save in words, the sense of which is little understood even by Catholics themselves, than we had in many Catholic nations. They are heterodox and externally schismatics, but their civilization and ours are one and the same in principle, and doctrinal and governmental unity will follow as soon as Catholic nations purge themselves of their sectarianism, understand more fully that catholicity is Catholic, and accept and adhere to the regimen of liberty.” We need not point out the contrast, but we call attention to this proof of the Ameri canization of ideas, when a zealous adherent of the papal authority thus avows his belief that “ No man who understands Christiani ty cab exclude from Christendom the prin cipal Protestant nations,” and 'that Roman Catholics “cannot look upon them as hea- or treat them as aliens from the Christian family.” If these sentiments are allowed at Rome, where will bigotry find a home again 7 Miscellaneous “The Country Parson." —The Pittsburgh Presbyterian Banner is indebted to its towns man, A. W. Foster, Esq., for the opportu nity of presenting the following brief but ex pressive epistle from the, distinguished es sayist: . “ 78 Great Kino Street, Edinburgh, 1 April 23, 1864.} “Dear Sir: I should sooner have ac knowledged your kind letter, but have been extremely busy. , “1 am very happy ‘ to think how many unknown friends I have in America. But for sea-sickness, I should go over and shake hahdß with some of them. My heart is ,en tirely with you in your endeavors to put down the wickedest and most causeless . rebellion this world oversaw ; and PlsnfoiJrr : bitterly and indignantly, that so many peo ple here will not see the cause rightly. “My country parish, before 1 came to Edinburgh, was four miles from Dumfries: so I know well the district from which your grandfather went. . . . . Believe me, in haste, Yours very sincerely, A Universalist . on Dr. Breckinridge in the Capitol. —-Of the able sermon not long since preached before the President and Congress, a correspondent of a Universalist paper, writes: . I was amused in noting how different from what the eager multitude were evidently expecting. Not the slightest application was there in it to the great theme of the immediate crisis. It was a downright, old fashioned Presbyterian sermon of the most uncompromising directness. Eternal heav en of unimaginable happiness on the one side, eternal hell of unimaginable misery on the other. The final alternative, once settled, is unchangeably fixed for ever. “I shall never meet you again. I entreat and warn you this day, and my duty by you is done. And you whoshall fail to heed these warnings—however much miy earthly re grets at your fatal de. tiny—against you will. I be a swift witness in that Great Day of Judgment!" Such.was the fashion,in which he dealt out the damnation of his creed—creed unqualified and square-cornered just as it came from the primitive quarry , r We clip the next item from the Zndepend • ent: Mission Work among Arabic-speaking People, —Dr. W.-M. Thompson of the “ Land and the Book,” after thirty yeaTs’ Bervice, and a recent extensive tour in Egypt and Arabia, closed by the yearly meeting of the Syrian Mission, expresses his views on these as well as other points : “ I have ever-enlarging views of the .vast ness and importance of the Arabic-speaking races, and a more-decided opinion that just at Beirut and vicinity are grouped to gether, by Divine Providence, the only means and machinery for commencing, on a comprehensive basis, the necessary insti tutions for civilizing and eventually Chris-' tianizing this vast and wide-spread- branch of the human race. The ends, therefore, aimed at in establishing the‘Syrian College’ are substantial, permanent, and large enough to fill the largest heart in Christen dom. Is it a narrow ambition to wish that our country should take afnd keep the front in this great work 1 I think hot, and no fear of it ever comes over me to dampen my zeal or hinder my prayers. Go 0n,.; therefore, and God speed the effort. .*■ The one thing decided upon at our ‘ General Meeting/ (as far as we could decide it,) in which a special interest will be felt, is that Dr. Van Dyke is to go to New York next year to superintend the'electrotypie g of the complete Arabic Bible in ten different edi tions and sizes. Not the whole Bible in so many forms, but the entire in five editions and portions of it—as the New Testament with vowels, the Psalter with and without vowels, etc., making some ten" works, in all. This is the greatest work this mission ever achieved, the greatest that the American Bible Society ever undertook. If carried out as contemplated, Dr. Van Dyck will -have to.be absent at least two years. ’ ' Many are surprised and disappointed that there is even an appearance of hesitation in the Board of the Bible Society in regard to this'great work. But its magnitude startles some of the older members, and they re auire time to bring up their courage to undertake an expeuee of $30,000 to $50,000 “A. K. H.

The Jews.—The Universal .Israelite Alli ance held its annual assembly of members on May 31, m Herz’s Concert Room, Paris. It shows a remarkable increase of attend ance and wartnth of interest; a certain number of ladies were also present. The report showed how the seventeen Israelites who met to form thisjalliance four years ago had now increased to 3,000 members, all more or less actively Engaged in discovering and endeavoring to oind together the mem bers of the Jewish brotherhood for protec tion and progress, irrespective of politics, and without touching on the different na tionalities of each. .These members already form a network which reaches to all parts of the world, and through which the Central Paris Committee learns everything interest ing to Israel, and is! enabled to extend its protecting hand, and send the sound of its cheering voice, to i many who need them I his year, while gliddened at itsdncrease of members in places where it was already known, especially in Itally and Holland, it has Constituted committees in Mussulman lands, and in Central America, to the shores of the Pacific. I tj has appealed in several quarters and obtained redress for grievances. Religious viewed Military Honor among Reb els.—The PalrioU the chief organ of the English Dissentere, in commenting on the conduct of Semines, the pirate, in putting his ship to the hlzard of a battle, gives this view of the shipjtnd her commander: “She was probably in need of more thorough repair than sht, could receive anywhere but in the yardbf her builders, and so Cap tain Semmes tlought it better to seek an honorable dean for her in a duel in which she was certair tofbe heavily overmatched than to run the risk of ignominious captivity, in which she \ ould be compelled to make sport for a hat d foe. It seems difficult to account for th > conduct of her captain on any other principle. He was not compelled to fight the Kjearsarge, and he had done enough for h mor; no imputation would have rested on his chivalrous courage had he declined tl e challenge of his pursuer, or, at any rate, p it his ship in fair fightingtrim before risking an encounter with ,a greatly superior foeJ Instead of which, it would appear that fle took his ship out in the worst fighting trim possible. Her bottom was covered with long, weeds, her engines and boilers were in'; a,damaged state, while her antagonist bad been elaborately prepared for the conflict, and entertained the most confident expectations of victory. It would appear probable that, for some reason best known to himself, Captain Semmes felt that if, in the uheqal encounter which he chal lenged, his snip should go to the bottom, it might be the best way out of the difficulties which -beset him, and the best end of .her brilliant b career.” There is certainly an abundance of tenderness towards the “ hon or” of this Jonathan Wild of the sea. The extreme'desirebf seeing this Union dissolved blinds pur brethren to all moral considera tions and all principles of law.— lnd.
