A LARGE REVIVAL, wrrrr rrs FRUITS.-
The pastors on Jamestown Circuit, Cincinnati
Conference, write to the Western Christian
Advocate,April 12 :—" We have taken into
the church, since last Conference, 247 persons
on probation, and 13 by letter. Of this num
ber, 142 joined at Jamestown alone, many of
them being our most substantial citizens.
After our meeting, closed at this place, the
citizens thought it would be a good thing to
put down- the liquor traffic, for which the
place had become notorious. They went to
work and circulated a pledge among the citi
zens of the town and c3mmunity,. in which
we pledged ourselves to use our means and
influence to effect the end. The result is, we
have suceedlied in closing up every liquor
and beer shop in our town. We expect to
save all or nearly all our young converts to
the church."
SAD DlSASTER.—Wilberforce University,
the college of the African Methodist Church,
is in ashes. It was burned on the 15th inst.
It was insured for $B,OOO, simply enough to
cover its liabilities. It is a great loss to the
s ohurch under whofe enterprise it was estab
lished.
CONGREGATIONAL.
REvrvALs. —A'corresp9_ndpnt of the Con
gregationalist ;writes froth-
_over, Mass.:—
The First Congregational church in this city,
under the earnest and faithful ministry'of
Rev. Avery S. Walker, lately installed as its
pastor, has hee' for several months enjoying
a season of deep religious interest. • Large
numbers have attended the meetings for reli
gious conversation, more than SO, we believe '
in all, and of these some 50 or 60 have already
expressed a hope. This interest has been
• o • xeit• ment or extraordinar •
e I ; 3 ; a i .• •• • ;.
of the hearts to God. The interest' does not
seem by any means to abate.—The Congre
gational church in Rehoboth have been en
joying a revival interest for some time past,
under the labors of their pastor, Rev. Francis
H. Boynton, assisted by Rev. J. W. Tarleton.
About thirty persons have entertained hope
in Christ.---We learn from the Hartford
Herald that there is an unusual interest in
the Congregational churches of that' city.
In the absence of all excitement, inquiry
'meetings are attended.—Signs of spiritual
good are very apparent in the congregation
of the First Congregational church in Oak
land, Cal. Several hopeful conversions have
taken place, especially in connection with-the
"Oakland Seminary for Young Ladies."—
The Par& informs us that Mr. Atkinson
still continues daily religious services in the
Congregational church, Portland, Oregon,
with encouraging success.
CENTRE CRURCR, NEW HAVEN, CONN.—
Rev. Leonard Bacon, D.D., having served
this church as pastor forty years, and having
reached the age of sixty-three years has
made request of the church for a colleague.
The request is under consideration.
EPISCOPAL.
LARGE CONFIRMATION IN BaiaTuous—The
Baltimore Sun states that Bishop Wittingham
made his annual visitation on the 15th ult.,
to Emanuel Church, Rev. N. H. Schenck,
rector, and confirmed fifty-eight persons, many
of whom were prominent citizens. The pastor
announced the whole class to consist of sixty
four, several being absent. The vestry of
this church has recently_purchased a rectory
on North Charles street, Ind also collected a
sum sufficient for the redemption of the ground
rent of the church.
A CLERGYMAN MURDERED. —Rev. Mr.
Jahn, an Episcopal cleyman of Valparaiso,
Indiana, left home in July, 1864, to solicit
funds for building a church, and has not been
heard from till quite recently, when his family
have learned that he was shot by guerrillas in
the cars on the North Missouri Railroad.
A letter from a gentleman, by his side when
he was killed, was unfortunately misdirected,
and has only just reached them giving the sad
intelligence.
LIITIIERikIf.
RELIGIOUS INTEREST IN BALTIMORE.—The
Lutheran churches in this city observed Pas
sion Week with appropriate religious servi
ces. The great national affliction gave a sub
dued tone of solemnity to the Easter Festival.
Dr. Martin received fourteen into-his church
on Federal Hill by confirmation • and two by
certificates. We have not yet ascertained
the accessions to the other English churches.
Religious services were held in St. Mark's
for two weeks preceding Easter, and 6, deep
religious feeling prevailed in all the meet
ings. On Sabbath, the large assembly was
deeply affected as the disciples of Jesus ap
proached the Holy Super,pk under the shadow
of our great calamity. Forty persons united
with the church ; twenty-one by confirma
tion, and nineteen by certificate. God grant
that they may all prove true and faithful
disciples of the Saviour, and be found among
those who shall be called to the marriage sup
per of the Lamb in Heaven. —Luth. Observer.
THE JEWS
WHERE ARE THE JEWO-It is said that
there are twice as many Jews in the city of
New York as in all Palestine. The side of
the town below 17th street and east of the
Third avenue is rapidly filling up with them.
They are also becoming almost the exclusive
dealers iu large branches of trade. Our sym
pathies are largely called out, and justly too, in
behalf of those who do not know Christ and
are afiir off. But here they are at our own
door, thousands of Jews who do' not receive
Christ the Lord.—N. Y. Observer.

THE WML.
JOHNSTON'S ARMY.
Last week we announced the unauthorized
arrangement between Sherman and John
ston, and the prompt repudiation of it
by the War Department, together with the
despatching of General Grant to the scene of
action. Instructions were immediately given
to all the Union Generals to disregard the ar
rangement and push the rebels at all points.
Grant demanded a surrender from Johnston on
the same terms offered to Lee. The rebel vainly
urged that the pardon of Jeff. Davis and his
leading Generals, with permission of free exit
from the country, be included in the conces
sions. Failing in this he was glad to accept the
too generous conditions first proposed, and ac
cordingly surrendered his army, on the 25th
April, to Gen. Sherman, , embracing all from.
Raleigh to the Chattahoochie. Thus the last
great army of the rebellion •has gone into non-,
existence.
The achievements of April are thus summed
up by the Public Ledger.:—On the 29th of
March the leaders of the rebellion had three'
strong armies east of the Mississippi. Lee had
his veterans in Petersburg and Richmond,
Johnston had a formidable forcein North Caro- ,
line, and Maury t with Dick Taylor, had thirty
thousand troops in the fortifications of Mobile.
They numbered in all not far short of one hun
dred and fifty thousand men. Behind these
powerful battalions Davis and his confederates
were as defiant, if not as confident, as they'
were in April 1861. Where are those armies
now Two of them are wiped out of existence
as utterly as if no such thing as rebellion had
'ever been ; and the third driven from Mobile is
nothing but a disorganized band of fugitives,
with Wilson's victorious army iu the rear. And
they, too, according to the last news from New
Orleans, are anxious to lay down their arms.
Lee's surrender restored the national authority
over the whole of Virginia, Johnston's carries
the flag overA.both Carolinas and Georgia.
Throughout the whole of the territory over
which Sherman made his wonderful winter
compaigns, and which the rebels said would re
vert to the Confederacy as soon as his columns
had passed away, there is now not an enemy. in
arms. West of the Chatahoochie, Wilson is
undisputed master of Alabama, and he, with
Canby, practically occupy and control all the
country from that river to the Mississippi.
Such are the results of this " short,„sharp and
decisive" April campaign. They are such as
must make the renown of American arms for
ever illustrious throughout the world. The
combinations of the General-in-Chief were vo
complete in all their parts that every battle was
decisive, for which ever way the beaten enemy
turned to effect his escape, he found apowerfill
army across his path.
DEFIES OF THE HOEB.
To this resume of the nicinth, the same paper
adds the following souni suggestions : z :---But it
will not do for either the people or the Govern
ent to pause over the destruction , of the or
,/ anized armies of the South. A great deal yet
emains to be done. There is an obstinate and
-joked spirit of mischief to be' subdued: There
:re men at the South who will still persist in
their rebellious conduct. There are loose
ands of marauders who may resort to guerrilla
warfare, claiming that they are still "fighting
for their country," for " their rights," and for
" independence,' and under these cries plun
•er and murder at will. Such people 'should
se taken in hand by stern and severe justice.
he Government has been lenient to such ras
als too long. Now, therefore, is the time for
n Executive proclamation, in which it should
• e announced that the war, as a public war,
• 'ving belligerent rights to rebels, is at an end,
- hat all men who keep up armed resistance,
and all who disregard the national authority,
:hall be treated not only as rebels and traitors,

vermin should be. s peop e d#Gtne ou
who desire to return, to the, pursuits of peace,
to cultivate their farms, 'to set the wheels of in
dustry in motion, and to rescue their country
from the state of devastation produced by the
rebellion, should be liberated from the domin
ion of all such rascals without delay.
JEFF. DAN.IS.,
The War Department does not give, and is per
haps unable to givei any information respecting
the whereabouts of the arch traitor. Reports are
vague and various, some .representing him as
skulking among squads of scattered rebels from
the broken up armies i and others as having
crossed, the Mississippi with the purpose of ma
king further demonstrations in that quarter.
That he is on the other side of the Mississippi
is probable, but it'is not so likely that he wall
stop until he '
has placed. some political bound
ary between himself -and the authority of the
United States. It is said that wagons are, on
the move with or after him, conveying millions ,
of specie of which he plundered the banks of
the so-called Confederacy. The estimates range
from five to sixteen millions. All this is un
certain—very; and it is most uncertain of all
whether he ever sees one cent of whatever he
has in transitu, except as he keeps it close up
with his own person. Personally he has se
cured no devoted followers, and mqn who re
gard him as the robber of the Confederacy, may
take it into their heads that such of the spoil as
comes in their way belongs as much to them,
as to him.
THE ASSASSINALTION.
THE ASSASSIN SHOT DOWN LIKE d DOG—AR
RUTS OF ACCESSORIBS.-4. Wilkes Booth, the
assassin, having been driven out of the swamps
near St. Mary's, in Lower Maryland l crossed
the Potomac, some distance below Aquia Creek.
A colored man gave information of it, and a de
tachment of the Sixteenth New York Cavalry,
consisting of 25 men / under direction of Col.
L. C. Baker, with Lieut. Dougherty in imme
diate command, was sent after Booth. He was
traced across the Rappahannock at Port Royal,
twenty miles below Fredericksburg, and at three
o'clock on Wednesday morning was discovered
in a barn about six miles south-west of Port
Royal. Harrold was with Booth. They re
fused to surrender, end the barn was set on fire.
About 4 o'clock larold offered to surrender,
and presented himself at the barn-door, to be
hindcuffed. This enraged Booth, and he fired
upon the soldiers. Sergeant Boston Corbett,
of the 16th New York Cavalry, fired in return,
mortally wounding Booth, who died in about
two hours. Booth's leg had been fractured by a
fall from his horse, as was announced by Sec
retary Stanton. Moth's body and Harold were
.taken to Washington.
It appears that Booth and Harold left Wash
ington together on the night of the murder of
President Lincoln, and passed through Leonard
town, Md., concealing themselves in the vici
nity until an opportunity was afforded them to
cross the river at Swan Point, which they did
as above stated.
The statement heretofore published, that
Booth had injured one of his legs by falling off
his horse, has proved to be correct. After he
was shot it was discOvered that one of his legs
was badly injured, and that he was compelled
to wear an old shoe and use crutches, which he
had with him in the barn. Booth was shot
about four o'clock in the Morning, and died
about seven o'clock. His body remains in pos
session of the GOvernment, and it is supposed
that it will be allowed no public funeral, but
that it will be ignominiously laid out of the
way. This has since been done secretly.
The Government is still ferreting out the con
spirators, with considerable, success it is sup
posed, but is reserved On the subject of dis
coveries made. Enough has transpired to show
that Canada, Maryland, Washington, Richmond,
and remoter parts of the rebellion, have all
been scenes of the concocting of the plot.
Several arrests have been made, among them
two in this city,—Junius Booth, brother, and
Mr. Clarke, brother-in-law, of the assassin. A
Maryland surgeon has been arrested under the
following circumstances. Booth's leg having
been-broken, he went to the house of Dr. Mudd,
in Charles county, and had it, set at 3 o'clock
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1865.
in the morning of Sunday, April -16, the second
day after the murder of the President. Dr.
Mndd split Booth's boot open to get it off, and
when he left the Doctor gave him a pair'of
crutches, and it is supposed tbat,he left in an
easterly direction from the neighborhood of.
Bryantown. Harold was with Booth at that
time. Dr. Mudd was arrested by the military
with one of Booth's boots in his possession,
which had Booth's name on it. The Doctor
was immediately taken to Washington.
In this connection we have also the following
account from Baltimore :--A well-known

fey the assurances of regard-and good-will

will favorably consider my attempts to merit
your approbation, and to give effect to the
friendly intentions .of the Queen, and of her
Majesty's Government.. I Ave the honor to
place in your hands the letter of credence con
fided to me by her Majesty.
President Johnson replied:—
Sir Frederick. W. A. Bruce:—The cordial
and friendly sentiments which you have ex
pressed on the part of Her Britannic Majesty
give me great pleasure. Great Britain and the
United States, by the extended and varied forms
of commerce between them, the contiguity of
portions of their possessions, and the similarity
of their language and laws, are drawn into con
stant and intimate intercourse. At the same
time they are, from the same causes, exposed
to frequent occasions of misunderstanding, only
to be corrected by, mutual forbearance.
So eagerly are the People of the two countries
engaged, throughout almost the whole world,
in the pursuit of similar commercial enterprises,
accompanied by national rivalries and jealorzeies,
that at first sight it would almost seem that the
two governments must be enemies, or at best
cold and calculating friends.
So devoted are the two nations throughout
all their , domain, and even in, their most remote
territory and colonial possessions, to the prin
ciples of civil rights and constitutional liberty,
that, on the other hand, the superficial observer
might erroneously count upon a continued con
cert of action and sympathy, amounting to.an
alliance between them. Each is charged with
the development of the progress of the human
race, and each, in its sphere, is subject to diffi
culties and trials not participated. in by the
other.
•
The interests of civilization, and of humanity,
require that the two should be friends. I have
always known and accounted as a fact honor
able to both countries, that the Queen of Eng
land is a sincere and honest well-wisher of the
United States. I have been equally frank' nd
explicit in the opinion that the friendship of the
'United States . towards Great Britain is enjoined
by all considerations of interest and of senti
ment affecting the charrcter of both. •
You will, therefore, be accepted as a minister
friendly and well-disposod to the maintenance
of the peace and honor of both countries. You
will find myself and all my associates acting in
accordance with the same enlightened policy
and consistent sentiments, and so I. am sure
that it will not odour in your case that either
yourself or this - Government will ever 'inn
cause to regret that such an important relation-,
ship existed at such a time.

I have known .floofiand's German Bitters favorablY
for a number of years. I have used them in my own
family, and have been so pleased with their , effects
that I was induced to recommend them to many others,
and' know that they have operated in a strikinglY
beneficial manner. I take great pleasure in thus pub
licly proclaiming this fact, and calling the attention
of those afflicted with the diseases for which they are
recommended to these Bitters, knowing from experi
ence that my recommendation will be sustained. Ido
this more cheerfully as lloofiand's Bitters is intended
to benefit the afflicted. and "not a rum drink."
Yours truly. LEVI G. BECK.

711eFdeilif "ii general , through dis their ingre
dients and effects, I yet know of no sufficient reasons
why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes
liimaidf to have received from any simple preparations
in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit
of others.
I do this more readily in regard to Hoolland's Ger
man 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
alcoholic mixture, I Imo indebted to nay friend, Robt.
Shoemaker, Me., for'thuremoval of this prejudice by
proper tests , and for ensidiumgenient to try them, when
suffering from great &a long continued debility. nine
of
of three bottles of these Bitters , at the beginnin he g
of the present year. was followed by evident relic
and - restoration to a degree of bodilyand mental vigor
which I had not felt for six months before, and had
almost • despaired of regaining. I therefore thank
God and my friend for directing me to thous() of them.

Dr. C. M. Jacksom,Dear Sir—l feel it a pleasure
thus of My own accord to bear testimony to the excel
lence of the German Bitters. Some years since, being
much afflicted with Dyspepsia, I used them with very
beneficial results. I have often recommended them
to persons'enfeebled by that tormenting disease, and
have heard from them the most flattering testimonials
as to their great value. In cases of general debility I
believe it to be a tonic that cannot be surpassed.

Dr. C. M. Jackson;—Respected Sir--I have been
troubled with Dyspepsia, nearly twenty years, and
have never used any medicine that did me as much
good as lloofland's German Bitters. lam very much
improved after having taken five bottles.
Yours. with respect, J. S. BERMAN.
