branch N. S., the loyal men found them
selves adrift, without any- resting-place or
head. These were the men who wished to
renew their connection with this Assem
bly.
As to the prapect of maintaining their
standing, he could not doubt it. Most of
the disloyal ministers had left the State.
The disloyal elders were without hope, ener
gy,, or influence. A new class had sprung up
which overawed them—the great middle
class and the freedmen. Providence had ac
complished the revolution, and there now
appeared, an active, powerful, loyal class to
supply the place of the bad and broken-down
aristocracy. He cited the 'instance of the
City of Knoxville, which had taken up a coll
lection of $1,200 for their present. pastor,
though the former one only received $l,OOO.
Gen. Tilston, from Maine, had recently, is-
sued an order opening Greenville Seminary

what they regard as the policy of their Ten-,

I fain Auestions to the satisfaction of the au
thorities. As Lee had surrendered; and
Johnston had given up, and Davis had am

sumed he would answer such questions to the
satisfaction of the authorities.
Rev. Mr. Lamar folloWed with' an earnest
and interesting statement of the condition of
his Presbytery, in substance the Same as that
of Mr: Sam Ar.
i Dr. Adams, of New York, wished that
' some, peculiar expression' of our sympathy
with our brethren from East Tennessee should
be added to the 'formal. recognition of their
regularity, and an acknowledgment made
that our eyes were turned with special inte
rest toward that field, the seeds of whose
theology, and, he believed, of their loyalty,
came from the East. ,
Dr. Fisher explained that the.work of the
committee was rather, a legal one, and that
the expression of sympathy would come most
forcibly from the Assembly.
The Moderator suggested•that the vote be
taken standing on the .motion that all the re
solutions be adopted. The vote was unani

lived, That' this Assembly recognize the
ion and the' privilege of every . constitu 7
of the Christian church to impart to
as Providential opportunities may per

salvation.
Resolved, That this Assembly gratefully
acknowledge the 'favor of Divine Providence
toward the A. B. C. I F. M. in its good and
great work of propogating the Gospel
throughbut the world, and pledge to that
institution our cordial co-operation and sup
port.
Resolved, That the form of organization
adopted by the Presbyterian Church with:its
extended supervision and its regular reports
and statistics is specially _favorable to syste
matic ' action. Further ;arrangements were
prompted for an annual contribution to fo
reign missions in every church under the care
of the committee, and, in the succeeding re
solutions, the Assembly extended to all the
ministers and members of the Presbyterian
Churches who have left their native country
to spread our religion in, foreign lands, the
assurance of. fraternal regard. The recent
events on Our continent imposed new, obliga

'whose term of service has expired: ' '
Pending the consideration' of the above re.-
pOrt, Dr. • Spear, from the Committee on
-Bills.and Overtures, submitted a'report on 'a
memorial from the Presbytery of San Jose,
Cal., On'' the qiiestion of •
MILEAGE
The memorial sets forth that the.expenses
of their representatives to the General •As
sembly are very large, and the ability of the
church to sustain them is small, and the me
morial urges the Assembly to take some mea
sures to relieve , them.
The committee recommend that the Mile
age Committee take every possible measure
to make thorough and adequate provision for
these cases.
Quite a debate sprang up on this question
of rather a rambling nature; in which the
merits of the present plan of assessing -mile
age werediscussed, with general approval.
Rev. Mr. Mears desired the reporters to
chronicle the fact that last year every cent of
the 'Commissioners' expenses were paid, as
they have been fbr some.years.'
-
The report was adopted. •
The order of the day was then iesumed.
Mr. Kellogg, of Whitehall, was surprised and
grieved to see that the -rePort.stated• that 720
churches, with a membership of some 36,000,
contributed nothing to the cause of foreign
missions. Be hardly believed,that this could
be true, and he moved that "the report be
modified so as to make the statement that
this number of churches and members are
".not, reported". as having.pontributed. •
Fulther, discussion developed the fact that
the statistical report of the Permanent. Com
mittee was Made iip'frOmlhe regular reports
from each church, but that they referred to
the year ending:more than 'thirteen months
ago,, and that there -were - several sources of
error ,in these reports. Mr. Mayo,: of -Utica;suggested that: many of the churcheshave
contribUted to agencies other than the .Aineri:-
can Board of Foreign Missions!'
,Dr. Adams offered to substitute tlie expres-
Sion " a considerable number of churches,l
instead of the figures used, and' the subject
was dropped. He also moved that the blanks
sent out to the stated clerks be so arranged
that the entire sum contributed be reckoned
to "foreign missions." This was adopted.
Dr. Weod, one of the secretaries of the
American Board - of Foreign Missions, then
addressed the Assembly. He stated• that
while it was true that there was a considerable
number of churches who gave nothing, he
was yet happy to state that there was more
now than a year ago given to the cause. The
magnificent way in which the cause of For
eign Missions had been sustained by the peo
ple during
.the last four years has made a
strong impression on all Christians_ abroad.
That the American Board has been carried
though that length of time without a; debt
has been of great value to the American'cre
dit everywhere. Yet it, must be remembered
that while there is a great `rOininal increase
there.has not been quite a real increase; on
the one hand there has been a reduction of
the scale of expenditures by the Board, and
on 'the other hand there has been a great in
crease of the cost of living the world over.
In - Turkey, where the work has been of great
interest, a large increase of cost_ has been
caused by the:, Crimean war4and in other
places, especially in India, the' derangement
'of markets by the American war has seriously
affected this subject. The number of the
missionaries, too, is depleted, and we have
less in the field now than 'ever before! In
China, where the placwot the missionaries
were but newly secured, the workers were
very insufficient. -
Dr. Wood closed with a very earnest appeal
for extended' action , in the matter of missions.
Dr. Adams considered briefly the bearings
of home and foreign missions, and eloquently
exhorted the Assembly to organize some sys
tem by which we can do our full duty as rep
resentatives of the free church, establishing
our community in such a way that no man in
petticoats on the Tiber or the Potomac could
put a crowbar under the corner-stone - of our
institutions. •
Elder Wood addressed a few earnest.words
to the Elders, and was followed by a number
of members.
The report was adopted. It was resolved
that the Standing Committees of Presby
teries,
or if there were none, then the Stated
Clerks, should make report of the contribu
tions of Presbyteries to Foreign Missions for
for the current year, to the Assembly'd Per
naanent Committee, on or before the first of
May ; also, That the Permanent Committee
on Foreign Missions be instructed to send to
the Stated Clerk of the Standing Committee
a circular, requesting that the statistics on
that subject be sent in each year prior to
April first, which was adopted after a short
discussion. •
Rev. John: A. Crawford, au army chaplain,
and delegate to the General Synod of the
Reformed Presbyterian church, being present,
a motion was made and carried giving him
the privilege of being heard out of the usual
order by the Assembly, inasmuch as his leave
of absence from the army was very short, and
could not, therefore, wait until the stated
time next week for the reception of visitors
to the Assembly.
Mr. Crawford, on reaching the platform,
addressed a few pertinent and congratulatory
remarks to the Moderator conveying the
greetings i)f his body of Presbyterians' to that
there assembled, and praising in unqualified
terms the noble action of the. Assembly in
justly stigmatizing slavery. In his mind, not
withstanding the effects of a terrible war, the
times were auspicious for Presbyterianism;
there was great hope for the country because
of the great Presbyterian element that was in
it—an element which he thought had made
this Government a well-poised, well-regulated
thing, more reliable and solid than it was at
first thought to be. •
The Moderator replied very briefly that he
arose to welcome his brother not only as a rep
resentative of a sister church but as a represen
tative of the brave boys in the army, to whom
the Assembly owed a debt it could never-repay.
They rejoiced as heartily as the Synod Mr. C.
represented that slavery was dead and buried,
with the curses of the civilized world heaped on
it heaven high.
The Assembly . shortly after adjourned.
In the afternoon, the minutes on the accoun
tability of ministers who have been guilty of
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY
treason was amended by omitting the sentence:
" If they were justly chargeable with polyga.tny,
debauchery, drunkenness, or any other gross
sin, to the same extent, their sinfulness in the
sight of God, and their criminality in that of
than, would not, in the judgment of this Assem
bly, be greater than they now are." And was
adopted unanimously, without debate.
Afterwards, addresses were delivered by Rev.
Semi. Sawyer and T. J. Lamar, of East Ten
nessee illustrating the necessity of such posi
tive action, and the cordiality with which it
would be received in that section. Dr. Spear
also made a poiierful address, in which he al
luded, with deserved. and welcome severity, to
the recent unsuccessful attempt of a notorious
disloyal minister of Richmond, originally a
Northern man, to resume his wonted place
among his former associates in New - York 'and
Troy. The scorn with which his advances had
been repelled by his loyal friends in these cities
was well described by Dr. S., and was hugely
relished by the immense audience. ' The 'Aasern=
