THE RE-UNION MOVEMENT IN THE
OLD SCFIOOI..—We- are not without pain
ful apprehension that the agitation of
this subject, started in so much really
Christian brotherly love, will react in
dissension in the Old School church.
There are indications that the good
brethren who have so earnestly advo
cated re-union will find put upon them
precisely the same hue and cry with
which we were hounded previous to the
division. As a specimen of this sort of
excessive bigotry, we quote from a wri
ter, over the signature of " Nassau," in
the Presbyterian of May 27 :
"The friends of this measure [re-union]
expect to succeed. They purpose to agitate,
and ply the public mind with the usual ma
chinery, until a sentiment shall be created
which will sweep all before it. Now, there
are some of the Old School who see in such
a re-union a betrayal' of their Lord, and they
cannot allow the matter to go . by default.
They will resist the movement in all lawful
ways. At a rment meeting of the Piesby
tery of —, a set of resolutions was adopt
ed, in which feeble churches of the different
Schools were advised to unite. The resolu
tions were resisted on the ground (in part)
that the New School, as a denomination, is
as unsound to-day as in '3S. In answer to
this allegation, a member of the Presbytery.
averred that a majority of the ministers of
the Old School do not, to-day, accept the
Confession of Faith as containing the system
of doctrine contained in the Holy scriptures !'
It was replied, that if this were true, there is
need, not for union, but for another division,
another purgation : and furthermore, that
the averment is a slander—that it is impossi
ble a majority of our ministers should be thus
false to their ordination vows.. But the re
ply was met by a deliberate reiteration of the
averment. Whether true or false—and false
it surely is—one thing is certain, and it is
this: every unsound man among us, every
man who does not accept the Westminster
Confession ex. aninto, but charges it and its
adherents with logical absurdities, every such
man can be counted upon as a firm supporter
of the re-union movement.. The number of
such men may be large. They will tell you
that the doctrinal issues of '37 and '33 are
living issues no longer. As if they' have not
been the living issues of all ages since the
time of Cain and Abel I"
IMPROVED METHODS OF HOME EVAN
GELIZATION.—We believe the time is at
hand when the church which does not
cast its thoughts about for these, will
fall far into the background of the Chris
tian hosts. The necessity is beComing
generally felt for new modes of access to
people, scriptural, evangelical, and bring
ing the same gospel as of old, but adapt
ed to the tone of mind and habits of at
tention which belong to the present day.
We observe, in the late proceedings of
the Diocesan Episcopal_ Convention,
held in this city, that the subject of re-'
storing the office of Evanegelist in the
Home Missionary work, has been seri
- rm. We know not dxactly
what is meant
tended to make a permanent and eccle
siastical organism of what is known in
this country under the name of the evan
gelist work, it will be an experiment
which - other churches will watch with
deep interest- r -one in which we should
not have been sorry to see another de
nomination share. We also notice, in
the proceedings of the same Convention,
the initiation of a subject which is likely
to lead to the giving of Christian women
who feel a call to self-consecration to
the work of the church, an official rela
tion to that work. The world has seen
the perils of the gross abuse of such a
scheme fearfully carried out; but the
question remains, Are these perils in
herent to the setting apart of such a class
of laborers ? The records of what is all
the while being done by Bible women
and other self-devoted female laborers
for Christ, are such as to invest the pro
posed scheme with some attractions ;
and, not without doubts, but still with
true interest, the results of this experi
ment, if undertaken, will be waited for
by Christians generally.
No ORANGE IN POPERY.--We com
mend to some of our city dailies, which
are so horrified by religious bigotry if a
Protestant journal denounces Romish
intolerance, but which have never felt
called upon to utter one word of repre
hension for the invectives which come
in torrents, from the organs of the Pa
pacy, the following expose of the Rbmish
spirit toward civil and religious freedom.
It comes from the headquarters of au
thority, from no less than the Pope him
self, being taken from his letter to his
beloved, but not exactly docile son, Max
imilian•, Emperor of Mexico.
"Your Majesty," says the Pope, "is well
aware that, in order effectively to repair the
evils occasioned by the Revolution, and to
bring back as soon as possible happy days for
the Church, the Catholic religion must, above
all things, continue to be the glory and the
mainstay of the Mexican nation, to the =elu
sion of every other dissenting worship; that
the bishops must be perfectly free in the ex
ercise of their pastoral ministry; that the
religious orders should be re-established or
re-organized, conformably with the instruc
tions and the powers which we have given
that the patrimony of the Church and the
rights which attach to it may be maintained
and protected; that no person may obtain the
faculty of teaching and publishing false and
subversive tenets; that instruction, whether
public or private, should be directed and
watched over by tie ecclesiastical authority ;
• and that, in short, the chains may be broken
which, up to the present time, have held
down the Church in a state of dependence,
and subject to the arbitrary rule of the civil
government."
THE HOPES UPON WHICH POPISH DEM
AGOGUES FEED THEM DUPES.—An Irish
correspondent of the Evangelist writes
that the Fenian leaders in Ireland are
unproariously proclaiming their expecta
tion that our President Johnson will ere
long despatch a hundred thousand men,
loosened from home service by the end
of the rebellion, under General Meagher,
to free Ireland from England, and annex
it to the American Republic.
OLD SCHOOL I VENERAL ASSEMBLY,-
This body assembled in Pittsburgh on
the 18th ult, and was opened with a ser
mon by the last Moderator, Rev. James
Woods, D.D., President of Hanover,
Indiana, College. Rev. John C. Low
rie, D.D., of New York, was elected
Moderator, and Rev. Thomas S. Vail,
Temorary Clerk. Much of the time of
the Assembly has been occupied with
its evangelistic organizations, which
generally appear to be working efficiently.
Our readers will see that our paper is
too largely filled with the proceedings of
our own body, to allow any extended
notice of these doings of our brethren
in Pittsburgh, but we shall take an early
opportunity to report such of them as
have an interest for the Presbyterian
family generally.

PEACE!
Gen Canby, under date of New Orleans,
May 26 3 telegraphs to the War Department that
arrangements have been concluded for the sur
render of the rebel forces othe Trans-Missis
sippi Department. This aneludes the entire
command of Kirby Smith,,and, when carried
out, becomes the end of our civil war. The
Government accepts this view of ~it, and the
President has accordingly issued his proclama
tion ordering the release of all prisoners who,
for political offences, had been sentenced to
confinement during the war.
TWE YELLOW-FEVER PLOT.
The Police Judge, in Toronto, before whom
Dr. Blackburn was arraigned, with a view to
extradition, on the charge of a rebel plot to in
troduce the yellow-fever into Northern cities,
has declined the responsibility of a decision,
and turned the case over to the Assizes, holding
the accused meanwhile in $B,OOO bail to appear.
The main witness against him was a rebel
soldier of the name of Hyams, who appears to
have left the army and gone to Canada to be
come the tool of any conspiracy which mightbe
afoot. As this man's testimony furnishes the
most succint view which we have seen of the
alleged plot, we give a condensed transcript of
it. Hyams testifies that he saw Blackburn in
Toronto in 1863, which was before he got into
the English provinces with his yellow fever
trunks, which, like Pandora's, were to scatter
their evils around as soon as opened. He pro
mised Hyams that the fortune of the latter
would be made if he undertook and carried out
the plan of infection, Blackburn not trusting
himself with its execution. Hyams consented,
and in June, 1864, along came a letter froth
Blackburn, asking Hyams to go to Halifax and
get the yellow-fever trunks, which had arrived
in the steamer Alpha. e procured money
from persons connected with Blackburn, and
went to Halifax. There were eight trunks and
a valise—the latter:was to go to President Lin
coln, the others to be distributed in cities and
towns where the Federal soldiers -were posted.
Hyenas took these infected trunkr to his own
room, but he accounts for his escape from the
fever by following the advice from Blackburn,.
in smoking strong cigars and chewing catnphor.
One trunk was to go to Boston, one to New
York, one to Philadelphia, one to Baltimore,
one to Norfolk. "No. 2" was to go to Wash
ington, and this Blackburn assured him "would
kill at sixty yards." The contents were to be
means have-a g •
on to the various cities as far as altimore, but
funds runing short, he returned to Canada for
more money. He says, "I went to the Clifton
House and saw Dr. Blackburn, Messrs. Clay,
Holcomb, McGregor, Preston, and other gentle
men there; I did not see Mr. Thompson; 15r.
Blackburn got $l5O to carry me back to Balti
more." With this he returned to Baltimore,
tried to get to Norfolk, but General Butler's
order tunrned him back. But he succeed
ed in getting a sutler named Meyers to carry
one of the trunks to Norfolk or Newbern, and
a week after he read in the newspapers that
yellow fever was in Newbern. Meantime "big
No. 2" and four small trunks were left iu Bal
timore. These were now procured and sent to
Washington and were left with a commission
merchant in that city, who advanced $lOO on
the valuable contents. Having done this, he re
turned to Canada, saw Blackburn and asked for
money. Blackburn said he would go to Jacob
Thompson and make arrangements to supply
him. He says, " I went next day to Colonel
Thompson, who told me that Dr. Blackburn
had instructed him to give me $lOO as soon as
I received satisfactory evidence that the goods
had been disposed of; he then gave me $5O on
account; about ten days after I received an ac
count of sales from Hamilton, and, showing it
to him, he gave me the other $5O in a cheek on
the Ontario Bank."
It was on the above testimony that Dr. Black
burn was bound over. It is alleged that the
clothes were gathered in the yellow-fever hos
pitals in Bermuda. What became of the trunks
does not appear. -
INDICTMENT FOR WOE( TREASON.
The District Court Grand Jury, at Washing
ton, has brought in a bill of indictment against
Jeff Davis and John C. Breckenridge for high
trearn, basing the indictment on the raid of
last July within the District, in which Brecken
ridge was present in person, and Davis construc
tively. A bench warrant has been issued for
the arrest of Breckenridge, who is still at large.
We see it stated that the dovernment will yield
the person of Davis for trial on this indictment,
and that it will speedily take place. But we
are not yet aware that any official announce
ment to this effect has been made.
THE GRAND MILITARY REVIEW
_ .
This most imposing military spectacle of the
age came off at Washihgton on Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week. It was a fitting finale
to the long and heroic service of the armies
participating—one which will be an event of
frequent proud remembrance in their future
lives. The platform of .the officials, before
whom the column passed, was erected in front
of the Presidential mansion, and occupied by
the President and Cabinet, Gen. Grant, and
numerous other high officials. On Tuesday
Sheridan's cavalry, commanded, in the absence
of its renowned leader by Gen. Merritt, the
Provost and Engineer Brigades,l and four corps,
entire or in part of the Army of the Potomac,
with Gen. Meade at its head, passed in review.
The corps with their commanders were the
Ninth, Gen. Parke; Fifth, Gen. Griffin; Second,
Gen. Humphrey ; and Gen. Dwight's division
of the Tenth. The men marched in company
front, about forty abreast, and yet the column
was about twenty-one miles in length, and was
six hours in passing.
Wednesday was occupied with the review of
Gen. Sherman's Army. It consists of the
Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corps, commanded
by Gen. Logan, Gen. Howard's successor, and
the Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps, com
manded by Gen. Slocum. The review passed
off most successfully, Gen. Sherman being
everywhere most enthusiastically received. He
had more men than were reviewed on Tuesday.
THE STATE PRISONERS.
Jefferson Davis was, .on the 22d ult., re
moved from the Steamer Clyde, and placed in
confinement in Fortress Monroe. His impris
onment is rigid. He has an apartment well
iron -bound, ten by fourteen feet in dimensions,
and is entirely excluded from the society of
any associate traitors. Some accounts say
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1865.
that he is manacled, but of that we are uncer
tain. Respecting the future process with him,
the Government is as yet silent, but the impres
sion at Washington is, that what is done in his
case will be speedily done. His family,took
leave of him when he disembarked, and re
turned with the steamer. C. C. Clay was re
moved from the steamer at the same time, and
is, like his chief, in solitary confinement in the
Fortress. The scene of separation between
these captives and their familes was painful in
the extreme. Alexander H. Stephens has been
taken to Fort Warren. We believe this man is
a bachelor, as for humanity's sake, we wish the
other champions of treason were.
THE NATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA
The South Carolina rebel Governor Magrath
has pluck for certainty.• He has issued a pro
clamation, based upon the assumption that the
annihilation of the Confederacy throws his
State back upon its independent and sovereign
political existence, and demanding that the
South Carolina portion of the late Confederate
forces, report-at once to' the State authorities
for duty, and that all Confederate property
within its limits be delivered to the State. Gen.
Gilmore very promptly squelched this rebel im
pudence by a counter proclamation forbidding
any persons from performing any act in obedi
ence to Magrath's order, clappihg on as an ad
dendum, a declaration that the blacks ace free
citizens of the United States, and would be pro
tected by the government in the enjoyment of
their freedom and the fruits of their industry.
This, we take it, is about the last we shall hear
of the Nation of South Carolina.
Gen. Gilmore, while his hand was in, made
a similar clean sweep of the late proclamations
of the late rebel Governors of Florida and Geor
gia, (the latter now a prisoner in our hands,)
convening the legislatures of their respective
States. He promptly forbids luly attempt to
assemble under these calls—a prohibition which
he will assuredly enforce if occasion arises. We
presume the time is past for apprehending that
the reorganization of any rebel State will be
permitted, except upon the Union platform,
the emancipation proclamation included. After
the agonizing labor of slavery to dig for itself a
grave, it would be cheating the dead to keep it
rotting above ground.
ANOTHER PIRATE'SETTLED.
We noticed last week the arrival of the rebel
ram Stonewall, in the harbor.of Havana, and
the promptitude with which Admiral Stribling
surrounded her with naval steamers ready to
pounce upon her the moment she left the Span
ish waters. ' Giving up escape as hopeless, the
Captain of the Stonewall tried hard to obtain
some good terms .of surrender from the Spanish
authority at Havana, but finally turned her over
to them unconditionally. Washington advices
say that our Government is entirely satisfied with
the action of the Havana officials in the matter.
So far as is known, only one pirate sailing un
der rebel authority, the Shenandoah; now re
mains afloat. She is the one that was harbored
by the British authorities i,u Australia, and,
when last heard from, was, prowling about the
the Indian Ocean.

DEATHS.
ALRIEH.—In this city, at the house of his brother
in-law, Charles A. Benon, Esq., on Saturday, the 27th
of May, Thomas C. Alrich, for 'many years a ruling
elder in the Hanover Street Prest , yterian Church, of
Wilmington Delaware.
Alrich was a gentleman of entire purity, and
uprightness of character, and of unexceptionable
piety. He was '73 years old.
A fuller obituary notice will be given next week.
OBITUARY.
We have to chronicle another death, and justly does
the poet say,
" Not a moment flies,
But puts its sickle in the field of life,
And reaps its thousands with their joys and cares."
Departed this life on the 28th ult„ Mrs. C. W. Cnoss,
wife of Rev Mrincus E. CROSS, at their residence in
Darby, Pa. The 'funeral was attended on the 30th
ult., and an appropriate sermon delivered in the First
Presbyterian Uhurch, Darby, by Rev. E. Webb, who
was assisted in the funeral solAtnities by Rev. B. B.
Bruen. tier remains were interred in the cemetery at
Knowlesboro'.
.
Aire: Cross was a member of the Darby Presbyterian
Church, with which she united, as one of its original
members, twenty-five years ago. For the church she
labored and prayed, and assisted her brothers, sisters,
and friends in recuring the erection of a house of
lrorship for the same.
AlIFShe gave her heart to the Saviour while young,
during a revival of religion in Philadelphia, and dur
ing seasons of special interest was often active in pro
moting the work of the Lord. She ever maintained
that the church must derive her strength increase,
and glory from a vital union with her living Head, and
by prayer, and consecration to MS service.
Tholigh from extreme prostration just prior to her
death, she was unable to speak of her views in pros
pect of crossing the dark stream of death, yet a few
days before her final trial she conversed with Chris
tian friends about the support of religion, and meet
ing loved ones in heaven.
. .
On one occasion in speaking to her husband, she
''Trials test the value of religion. My Saviour
is precious, and my hopes are all centered in him, who
is the resurrection and the life." Thtegh the Circle of
her friends mourn the loss of a beloved wife, a fond
mother, , an affectionate-sister, and-a true friend of the
afflicted, yet we are comforted, with this assurance
that she is now free from all sorrow and pain, rejoic
ing before the throne in glory. As she desired the
spiritual welfare of all her friends, may her surviving
relatives secure a meetness forahappy reunion with
her in the world of light whenever the Master says,
00131:0 up higher." May their hearts beat respon
sive to these lines:—
. .
There is my house and portion fair,
My treasure and my heart are there,
And my abiding home;
And angels beckon me away,
And Jesus bids me come."
tly
(lo tly Eairs:
Looa e'er the fashions which old pictures show,
As the; prevailed some fifty years ago;
At leas: that phase of fashion which conveys
Hints of those instruments of torture—sawn!
And then compare the old, complex machine,
With th.t which in these modern days is seen :
No more V steel and whalebone is the chest,
Or side, o liver, terribly compressed;
No more .re curving ribs, or waving spine,
Twisted and tortured out of Beauty's line
For skill and t sisneo both unite to,show
How much 47' i ealth to dress do women owe.
In Mas. SHERMAN'S COSSETS, Indies find
The laws of /fedith with Fash ion's taste combined
Supporting equally each separate part,
They cramp no action of the lungs or heart;
And no injurioni ligature is placed
To mar the flexure of the natural waist;
Their fit is certain—and, what's sure to please,
In all positions there is perfect ease;
The figures of the young they help to form,
Aiding and not repressing every charm;
Irregularities of shape they hide,
Bo that by none can slight defects be spied,
While e'en a figure, which is understood
As be;ng "bad," may by their help seem good;
And matrons wearing them a boon will gain,
Their early symmetry they'll long retain.
Insuring comfort, grace, good-health, and ease,
These SHERMAN Corsets cannot fail to please:
One trial is the only test they need.
For then all °fliers they must' supersede
Faiihion's demands with usefulness they blend.
And so are truly EVERT WOMAN'S FRIEND]
