The proceedings of a meeting of The new National Association, organized to promote such an amendment of the pre amble of our national constitution as will secure a national recognition of God and the Christian religion will be found in another column. In the absence of Rev. Dr. Eddy, the Presi dent, Ex-Gov. Pollock, Vice-President, occupied the chair on the first evening of the session, accepting the position with a few words of address in his usu al well-considered and outspoken Chris tian tone. Hon. Wm. Strong, of the Supreme Court of the State, gave an ad dress of great historical interest and log ical accuracy, suclr as befitted a pro found jurist. Ho referred to the univer sal surprise felt by people on first learn ing that our Constitution contained no I recognition of any governmental rela tion to God, Such is the universal con viction that, in a nation like . ours, this recognition must be a thing of course that all supposed, until the contrary fact was publicly noticed, that it must be there. Ho dwelt upon the, point that its omission was an ignoring of the principles upon which every colony of the present republic was,founded—God and Christianity having been honored in every colonial charter. He contended that, in spite of their omission from the Constitution; they aro still well inter woven in our governmental functions. They remain the foundation of the Eng lish common law as here• in use, and they are recognized in many of the forms of the civil law and 'acts of public ad ministration. Judge Strong was followed by Rev. Dr. Goddard, who spoke ably and evan gelically on the general subject. On the second day the chair was oc cupied by Dr. Edwards. Many mem bers from abroad, including delegates from the northwestern States, were heard respecting the state of feeling con- Corning the proposed amendment, in their respective neighborhoods. Among the speakers on the resolutions, were_ Prof. licilvaine, of Princeton, Dr. sun kin, Rev. W. T. Eva, Rev Dr. Morton and Rev. W. T. Milligan. The attend ance, except at the evening assemblies, was not late, but a wide extent of ter ritory was represented; and the charac ter of the membership such as to give importance to the meeting. THE ENGLISH MURDER GABE. It will be seen, on our secular news page, that the murderer. Muller was exe cuted according to sentence, on the 14th ult. We were all along surprised at the amount of sympathy gotten up for him in , the face of testimony, which, as circumstantial evidence, was of the strongest conceivable character. Even upon the platform he re-asserted his in nocence, but at the last moment before being swung off, he confessed to the orime. We suppose all are satisfied now that the judgment of the court was just. We notice this case simply as an illustration, of a point little thought of, the case of a per son really guilty of murder, the denial of guilt is a crime second only to the murder itself, and sometimes fully equivalent i to it. Every theory by which reprieve of Mul ler, as an 'innocent rnan, was sought to be obtained, involved some innocent person in the crime. It exposed some innocentperson to the gallows. Throngh such another m nrder, the-wretched man who has now gone to his final account would have screened himself frona lL the retribution which he knew to be due to him and him aloriq.

A mass Convention of this body held a session of great interest on. Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 29th and 30th, in the West. Arch Street Presbyterian Church. The, large building was filled - upon both evenings, when addresses of great power were delivered by the Hon. Judge Strong, the Hon. James 'Pollock, the Rev. Drs. Goddard, lSiellvaine, Schwarts, Junkin, Edwards and others. Letters were read from prominent men in various sections of.the country, ands large representation of delegates from 4nany States were present. Under the form of Resolutions, the Association preiented and urged upon the attention of the people of the land, the following considerations in support of their single object,. viz.: memoriali zing Congress in behalf of an' Amend ment to the Constitution embodying a national recognition of God, the Lorcl . Jesus Christ, and the Holy Scriptures: RESOLUTIONS • 1. That a national recognition of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Scriptures as proposed in the memorial of this Association to Congress, is clear ly a scriptural duty which it is. national peril to disregard. 2. That in consideration of the gener al diffusion of religious intelligence, principles and institutions throughout our country ; in view of the many ex press recognitions of Christianity by the Constitution and the Legislative enact, ments of the several States, and in view also of the religious history of the found ing of this government, it is a striking and solemn fact that our present nation al constitution is so devoid of 'any dis tinctive Christian feature that " one of our chief magistrates once refused to ap point a day of fasting and prayer in an' hour of public calamity, becauSe the na tion in its constitution recognized no God, and that in a treaty, contracted with a Mohammedan power, during the second administration of 'Washington, it is formally declared that the Govern ment of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Cbrititian religion ;' that it has in itself no character of en mity against the laws,. religion or tran quility of Mussulmen.". 3. That the measures proposed by this Association are not sectional nor sectarian nonpartisan , but the , gener al voice of Christian patriotism asking that which is right and wholesome, which is in keeping with most of our an tecedents, and which will not operate oppressively upon the conscience of any citizen. 4. That the state of 'the, times, recent and present, and the state of public sen timent warrant and encourage the at tempt to secure the amendment to the Constitution which is proposed by this Association. In view of the great and encouraging progress which this cause has made dur ing the past six months, and in view of the great importance of speedy action in the matter, the Association urgently request citizens in'every section of the country at once, individually or by or ganizations, to engage in securing the 'circulation and signature . of the memo rial-and the return of the signatures ob tained to the Corresponding Secretary, John Alexander, Esq, 1925 Arch street, Philadelphia. The entire press of the country, sec ular and religious, is earnestly request ed to publish., the proceedings and also the Form of memorial herewith -appen ded: FORM OF MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS PRE PARED BY THE .ASSOCIATIoN • To the Honorable, the.a 'Senate and House .of Representatives in Congress assem•l We, citizens of the United States, re spectfully ask your honorable bodies to adopt measures, for amending. the Con-, stitution of 11143 United States, so as to read in substance as folloWs,: We, the people of the United' States ; humbly acknowledging:Almighty God as'the source of all authority and:power in civil governthent, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the 'Ruler among the nations, -and His - revealed will as of .supreme an thority, in order to constitute a Chris tian government, and in order to form a more perfect •union, establish justice, insure donaestic tranquility; provide tor the common- defence, promote the gen eral welfare, and secure the.inalienable rights and blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness to Ourselves, our posterity, and all the inhabitants of the land,---Do ordain and establish this con stitution for the United States of Amer ica. And we further ask that such changes •be introduced into.the body of the ,Con stitution, as may be necessary, to give effect to these , amendments in the pre -amble. DEDICATION AT WAII:REN, ILL, _ The Hdtise of Woiship of the First ..Rres byterian church of Warren,'was dedicated_ to the service of .God on Thursday Nov. 3. The ;exercises were as follows:,,lnvocation and reading of Scriptures by,Rev. Rent'; . Ser- . :MOW by Rev. A. K. Strong; Dedicatory prayer by the Pastor Rev. Eugene H. Averyi BenedictiMa by 'Rev. J. W. qinnbigham.. Warren is 6 flouishing village of fifteen., hundred inhabitants in JoDavies.s county 111. This Presbyterian church is a new enterprise, having been organised in Jinuary 1863, with 24 members. The preSent pa4ter, Rev. E. B. , AVdry has been with them since Jnne Ist. There is already considerable •interest cen tering in the new church and there <is good reason to hope for growth, prosperity and• great :usefulness, , PHILADELPHIA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1864. MISSIONARY BOXES.—We notice with great pleasure-- the more so as we have editorially interested ourselves in the matter—that the spirit of aiding our frontier Hg.rne Missionar ies, by missionary boxes, is awaking in our ei* churches. The North Broad St. Church, Dr. Adams'has just forwarded to .a distant laborer and his family such a box containing over $4OO yalue of contents. • We also learn ti 34 the ladies of Dr. Brabuerd's church, and of Cavalry church, are each making up other which are likely to be well filled. Thougli not in this city, it i s appropriate to add that the Central church, Wilmington, S. C., have just: sent off a boi valued at $485, and have paid for the American Presbyterian for one year, for the Home Missionary. Good .examples these. Ladies of other churches, take hold COMPENSATION Da3LaicnEn.—We notice in The Presbyterian that Rev. Dr. Slackwood,, pastor of the Ninth Presbyterian church, Q. S. in this city, has been called to the Knox Presbyterian church, Hamilton; C. W. This is the church from which Rev. Dr. Irvine ; the new and popular pastor;of the Westmin ster church in this city, Was called away. Philadelphia certainly owes them a pastor. Whether Dr. Blac,kwood feels himself bound to liquidate the obligation, we have not learned. . To )3s INsrALLsu.—The Philadelphia Cen tral Presbytery (0. S.) hai. appointed next Sabbath evening for the installation of Rev. Alexander Reed, in the 'church, 'corner of Eighth and Cherry streets. Dr. Shields is to preach the sermon, Dr: isfusgi 'aveto charge the pastor, and Dr. Henry the people. We have a pleasant acquaintance with the incom ing pastor, and know him as a large-hearted and earnest working minister—a man who in 1 , this city, will make his mark, and what better, make it for Christ. We hiartily con-1 gratulate the church on their acquisition.

BOOKS'IIEOEIVED. PAMPHLETS AHD' PERIODICALS FROM TICKNOR ) t, FIELDS; BOSTON THE' NATIONAV 'BAPTIST, 'L CORRESPONDENOE ON RECRUITING. Prof. E. D. Saunders, D. D : DEAR SIR; --Knowing the deep interest you take in the success of our armies and the maintenance of that spirit of loyality to the Government among our citizens so necessary to success,; we take the liberty of addressing a few lines to you on the subject of recruit ing. CannOt you, who command the sympa thy and respect of our whole community, aid our cause by your counsel, and infuse some of your own spirit• into the slumbering energies of our citizens ? By systematic effort and time to work in, Philadelphia can ashy furnish her quota in any future call for men. We_ earnestly solicit your aid in bringing the matter before our fellow-citizens, and the ward of which we are residents. Truly, and respectfully Your obedient servants, ' MANY CITIZENS OF THE SEVENTH WARD. Confined by injuries received from a rail way accident whilst prosecuting a plan to promote recruiting, the . undersigned can only at present write his views on 'the great Subject Of,the unexpected communication from Many Citizens of the Seventh - ward." Recruiting has been progressing at the rate of more than fifty men a day until the city has` now a surplus of about (3,000) triree thousand. At no time, with so little ejOrt, have volunteers - been obtained. Several causes have - conspired to: produce this result A few will be named as incentives to action : First. The city has been favored with the untiring labors of: unselfish patriots, among whom may be particularly named our con stituted authorities, the Bounty Fund Corn and, as inferior to none, the editors of all our joutlinals, which, to any perceptible extent, reach the great masses-Of society.-- Let none of these upholders of our cause re mit. their exertions. - • Second. In ,;a belief almost universal, and, doubtless, 'well founded, that the Government is rapidly gaining upon the rebellion, many nobly desire to take a part in the closing scenes of the . war. Let every one ,encourage so Patriotic an inspiration. Third. Owing to the fluctuation in, prices, many of the Manufacturing establishments have laid in but a scanty supply of raw ma terials, and the prospect of a hard winter, as a consequence, favors recruiting. Let the truth, that our soldiers are the best clothed and fed of any in the world, be: kept con: scantly before the public. Let meetings be called in the wards, suffi dent to enable energetic committees to ob tain the means necessary to offer, not a ward bounty, but a - merited premium to every one who will look up a recruit. This requires on the part of committee-men the most self denying labor. But let all who thus toil cheer their hearts with the \ reflection that it is donelor the noblest of countries and the best of Governments ; done for the present age and all coming time; done for the cause of humanity—the cause of God. _ _ MITCHELL'S NEW GENERAL ATLAS We earlier expressed our high apprecia tion of this much esteemed, large Atlas for families and offices. A new edition before us has been rendered still morevaluable by additions and larger, maps. It now has eighty-six maps and plans exhibiting every part, of ;the world, very clearly engraved and beautifully colored into subdivisions ; and is' acc6mpanied with valuable statistics of the population and size of all governments.— We now see the'new States of:West Virginia and Nevada, as also Montana, Idaho, and Arizona' Territories, Railroads completed and proposed, including those to the. Pacific and the Over-land Mail Route ; our - large cities in Wards and streets, new counties,; plans of , inaportant harbors ; our forts and battle places , generally appear. . . Its new post:office list is an excellent index of places on the maps, and even of some too small to appesir a Among the additions, we are.glad to find a much larger map of Pales tine, locating, the Twelve Tribes, and places of interest to 'Aible; "readers:; with ancien and. modern nam es ;. and a scale of.miles adapted to the Roman and our statute mea. sure ; also - a:Plan Of Jerusalem as it now is. -A highly . ; convenient :diagram to show the differenaetbetweenithe•time of day at Wash ington and prominent, localities all over the ; together .with straight line distances from,.

Commentary on the Holy Scriptures— Critical, Doctrinal, and Homiletical—by John P. Lab ge D. D., in , connection with a number of Eminent Euro pean Divines. Translated from the German, and edited; with additions original and selected, In connection • with Americpai Divines of various Evan gelical Denominations. VOLUME FIRST . CONTAIN_ ING A GENERAL INTRODUCTION AND TEE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW. This Theological and Homiletical Cominentary by Dr. Lange, Ac., is the most comprehensive and impor tant Biblical work of the age. It presents the text in a literal translation, with the principal readings and a threefold commentary, Oriticat, Doctrinal, and" Honti tettead," under distinct and separate heads. The critical notes explain all the difficult words and passages; the doctrinal and ethical thoughts present the chief doc trines and precepts of the text; the homiletical hints suggest themes and. points for sermons and Bible lectures, and exhibit the endless applicability of the Word of God to all claSses and conditions of men. There are standard commentaries. on special por tions of the Scriptures, which excel'all others in some particular aspect, but taking all things into considera tion, the Commentary of Lange, in the opinion of com petent American judges, is the richest, the soundest, and the most useful commentary ever produced, and far better adapted than any other to meet the wants of all evangelical denominations. It is learned and the.. rough, yet popular, and free from the pedantry of learning; orthedox, yet liberal, and truly catholic. It combines with original research the most valuable results of ancient and modern exegesis. It is almost a complete exegetical Library, and a rare thesaurus for con stant reference and use. Although mainly adapted for the use of pastors and students, it can be read with profit by every diligent layman. The American edition is ur dertaken by an association of well-known scholars from the leading evangelical denominations of this country, under the editorial care and responsibility' of Dr. Schaff, of New York, and with the full. approbation 'of Dr. Lange. It will be pushed forward-as fast as the magnitude and difficulty of the undertaking will permit. It gives the original entire, without omission or alteration, and at the same time valuable additions 'which give the work an Anglo- German character, and make it more useful to the English reader. The First Volume contains ono.fourth more matter than the original. Other Volumes of the Commentary araalready In course of preparation by,the Editor. E. D. SAUNDERS The Rev. Drs. SHEDD,. YEOMANS, - SCHAFFER, KENDRICK, POOR, MOMBERT, ' LILLIE,- STARBUCK, and other eminent Biblical scholars and experienced translators will be engaged as fast as is desirable to complete the work.
