PRESBYTERIAN,
United Presbyterians in- California.
—I he General Assembly of the United Pres
byterian Church, at its late meeting, resolved
to establish a mission of their Church in San
Francisco, and elected the Rev. Dr. Cooper,
of Philadelphia, as the missionary, fixing his
salary at twenty-five hundred dollars per an
num. Dr. Cooper is said to be one of the ablest
ministers of this denomination. If so, the
United Presbyterians have shown good sense
in their first movement to this State. $1,500
were appropriated also for the outfit and sup
port of a Missionary to Oregon.— Pacific.
United Presbyterian Church Edifice.
—The Central Presbyterian Church now wor
shipping in the City Assembly Rooms, on
Market street, San Francisco, have procured
a lot on Mission Street, between Fifth and
Sixth, and will soon commence the erection
of a chapel, to be of wood, with a basement
th,e same size as the audience room above,
and to cost, when furnished, about $lO,OOO. —

Dedication of a Church in lowa.—A
fine church edifice, recently erected for the
use of the First Presbyterian Church, O. S.,
in lowa City, was dedicated, with interesting
services, on Sabbath, the 20th ult. The ser
mon was preached by Rev. Dr. Matthews, of
Monmouth, Illinois, and a-succint history of
the rise and progress of the Church, from its
organization in 1840. to this important event
in its history, was given by the pastor, Rev.
S. M. Osmond. It was a detail of a long and
patient endurance of disappointments and
embarrassments, changed now, it is hoped,
into the beginning of an auspicious career of
prosperity and usefulness.
Installations.—We notice the following
in the 0. S. connection: Rev. Charles Thay
er, as pastor of Vermillion Church, Dakota,
Minnesota, on the first Sabbath in July;
Rev. William W. Newell, Jr., as Pastor at
Wappenger’s Falls, New York, on the 23d
ult.; Rev. James Sinclair, as pastor at Smith
town-Branch, Long Island, on the 2d ult.
Reinforcements.—The Board of Foreign
Missions of the United Presbyterian Church
have information that Mr. James W. Gra
ham will probably accept the appointment of
the General Assembly, and sail at an early
day, to take charge of the Industrial Institu
tion at Sealkote, North India. Messrs. B. F.
Pinkerton and William Harvey, and probably
Mr. David Strang, will go "to Egypt, and Mr.
N. E. Brown will proceed to Syria.
A Call Tendered. —The Upper Oetarora
Church, near Parkesburgh, Pa., has called
to its vacant pastorate, Rev. John J. Pome
roy, late chaplain in the army.
Recovering.—We recently mentioned the
very serious bodily injuries received at Port
land, by Rev. William 8.. Lee, pastor of the
Gates Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brook
lyn, New. York. We are happy to learn that
he is rapidly recovering.
CONGREGATIONAL.
Copperopolis.—Last week, the corner
stone of the Congregational Church in Cop
peropolis, California, was laid, assisted by
the Masonic Fraternity. . The new church is
to be fifty by thirty-three feet, and will cost,
when finished, $4OOO. — Pacific.
Progress in the West.—The corner
stone of “the New England Church;” of
Chicago, was laid early in August. The cor
respondent of the Independent says:—“As
in the ease of the laying of the corner-stone
of our. Plymouth Church, the simple services
of religion were relied upon without inter
posing a band of strangers with strange and
diverting ceremony. . The rights of Chris
tianity need no assistance from those of
Masonry. The edifice will be of Athens
stone, in Gothic style, in cross shape, one
hundred and twelve feet long, with a transept
eighty-three feet; it is to cost $50,000 with
out the tower, which, when built, will add
$25,000;. it will have one thousand and seven
ty-nine sittings.”
Rev. E. B. Turner, the agent for the Ame
rican Home Missionary Society for Missouri,
has secured the organization of another Con-
Church, the eleventh, at Kahoka,
ark County. Sixteen members, eight
of them male, entered into fellowship. Rev.
Mr. Callihan, a Protestant Methodist, resi
dent there with his wife, joined the church,
and was elected pastor, having been, as he
said, a Congregationalist for five years, and
he did not know it! To-morrow, a church
will be organized by council at Athens, in the
same county, while Rev. Mr. Thorne is pre
paring the way at Memphis, county seat of
Scotland County, and on the 18th, a council
is called to organize at Cameron, on the rail
road. The church at Kahoka adopted as its
own the declaration of faith made on Burial
Hill, the' firft, perhaps, organized on that
basis.
Eastern Items. —The Third Church,
Portland, formerly Dr. Dwight’s, have again
employed Rev. E. Walton, as a supply, not
withstanding two .oounoils have expressed
their unwillingness to install him, on account
of his theological unsoundness. Rev. R.
Tolman, of Tewksbury, Massachusetts, re
ceived from his people last Friday evening,
at the close of the thirteenth year of his pas
torate among them, a gift of $273. The
Church in Bennington is building a house of
worship at an expense of nearly $30,000; and
the Church at Bennington Center is remodel
ing and greatly beautifying the interior of its
house, and adding a lecture room. The
Church at West Charleston, has more than
doubled its membership during the three
years in which Rev. Levi Loring has been its
pastor.
METHODIST.
Bishop Janes arrived in New York on the
morning of Thursday, the 17 th inst. He re
turns from an-extensive tour for ecclesiastical
objects in Europe, having presided at the
German Mission Conference, visited the mis
sions in Norway, represented the American
Bible Society at the anniversary of the British
and-Foreign Bible Society, and acted as the
messenger of the M. E. General Conference
to the Annual Conference of the Wesleyan
Methodists at their session in Birmingham,
England, and the Irish Conference which
met in the city of Cork. He seems also to
have availed himself of an opportunity to
visit the French Wesleyan Conference, and to
have witnessed in part the internal working
of the committee on mis
sions, education, church extension, etc., which
meet as preparatory committees in advance
of the Conference.
Bishop Wayman, of the African M. E.
Church, was permitted to address the colored
people at the camp-meeting near Camden,
Delaware.- He was afterwards threatened
with vioience, and it was feared that the house
at which he stopped in Camden would be de
molished. Fortunately, better counsels pre
vailed. — Methodist.
Magnificent Church. —The new Metho
dist Epicopal church, in process of erection
on Woodward Avenue, Detroit, promises to
be, when completed, the most magnificent
Methodist Episcopal church on the continent.
The basement, just completed, cost $30,000,
and the whole edifice will not fall short of
$lOO,OOO. There are no subscriptions over
$3OOO. The length of the edifice is 120 feet,
width 95, height of spire 175 feet. It is ex
pected to be finished in October, 1866. The

stone chiefly used in the walls is obtained
from Canadian quarries.— Western Advocate.
Methodist Missions. —At a preliminary
meeting of one of the committees of the
British Wesleyan Conference, it was reported
that the Emperor of the French had promised
to prevent the persecution of Protestants in
the Loyalty Islands: but that in the mean
time, while the dispatches were yet on the
way, the persecution was still proceeding
fiercely. The native preachers were being
shot, and the English missionary, though
allowed to preach to those professing Protes
tantism, is not allowed to preach to the
heathen. It was also stated that the mission
ary stations were producing an increasing
amount for the support of their own religious
establishments, and their contributions to
the missionary cause had risen from about
£9OOO in 1844 to £41,000 in 1864. The mis
sionary Jubilee Committee met on Saturday,
the 29th ult., being numerously attended by
the ministry as well as the laity. The Rev.
Dr. Osborn presided. The Secretary of the
Jubilee Fund toad a statement of this fund.
It appears that there has been promised in
Great Britain £185,000; in Ireland, £7000;
in Australia, £19,500; in the mission stations,
£15,500. These amounts give a total of
£227,000, or thereabouts. Of this total,
which it was understood was to be paid in
three years by such instalments as might
prove convenient to the subscribers, about
£lOB,OOO have been paid.
Items.—Rev. Gilbert Haven, of Boston, an
able and widely known Methodist clergyman,
is to commence his labors immediately at
Vicksburg, in the work of religious recon
struction.—Andrew Chapel, Nashville, Ten
nessee, which has hitherto been used for hos
pital purposes, has been restored to the Trus
tees of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, and they are now occupying it as a
regular place of worship. Rev. S.. S.
Weatherby and Rev. F. A. Spencer, mission
aries, set sail for India, from Boston harbor,
July 21, at about nine o'clock in the morning.
EPISCOPAL.
• The Southern Churches. —Bishop Elli
ott, of Georgia, writes to Northern friends
that he is not prepared to meet his brethren
in the coming Convention, and states the
terms on which he would be prepared to re
unite with them in the future. They are, first,
a recognition of the General Council (South
ern organization) by treating with it on the
conditions of reunion; second, “recognition
and confirmation,” at such a conference, of
the consecration of Bishop Wilmer, (conse
crated by the Southren Councils); and third,
a pledge, or the performance without a pledge,
of the condition that there shall be “silence,”
or “not a word of obloquy or dispraise” of
tbe deceased bishops, and especially of Bishop
Polk. The Standing Committee of the
Diocese of Louisiana, as the ecclesiastical
authority of said Diocese, under date of June
4, recommend and direct, “in regard of order,
and uniformity of Divine service, that the
clergy throughout the Diocese do restore and
conform to the Ritual of the Book of. Com
mon Prayer of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States of America.”
The Bishop of Missouri reports that the
rite of Confirmation has been ministered as
follows: In Christ Church, Sk Louis, to 52;
in St. John’s Church, St. Louis, to 29 ; in
Grace Church, St. Louis, to 34; in St.
George’s Church, St. Louis, to 49; in Trinity
Church, St. Louis, to 13; in Christ Church,-
St. Joseph, to 8 ;. in Trinity Church, Hanni
bal, to 3; in German Church, St. Joseph, to
S: in Grace Church, Kirkwood, to 14; in
Montgomery City, to 2.
Graduates of Basle.—Three of the
graduates of the Missionary Institute at Basle,
Switzerland, have recently taken orders in
the Episcopal Church of this country, two of
whom are connected with- the African Mis
sion, and the other is under appointment. for
China. About eighty-eight have gone into
the employ of the London Church Missionary
Society, having received Episcopal ordina
tion.
New Enterprises.—On the 27th day of
July, Grace Chuch, the second. Episcopal
Church in the city of Indianapolis, was con
secrated by the Right Rev. George Upfold^
Bishop of the Diocese. The ceremony of
laying the corner-stone of St. John’s Episco
pal Church, Cape Island, took place Friday
afternoon, the 17th inst.
Trinity College.—A project has been
started for an addition to the scientific ap
pointments of Trinity College, Hartford,
Conn. Ten or twelve thousand dollars has
been secured, and it has been proposed to
raise $150,000 to build a new chapel and as
tronomical observatory, in the latter of which
will be placed a magnificent telescope.
Kindness Appreciated.—The country
pastor of a small Episcopal church, near Car
mansville, who was very kind to Madame Ju
mellßurr (widow of Aaron Burr), recently
deceased, was appointed by her, just before
her death, residuary legatee of her estate,
worth abouts7oo,ooo to $BOO,OOO, from which
he will probably realize a very handsome in
dependence. She also left means enough to
erect a new’church for the rector, who was
kind and devoted to the old lady when she
had shut herself out from the world, and had
grown so moody and misanthropic as to have
few friends. — N. Y. Tribune.
BAPTIST.
Items. —Rev. J. N. Murdock, D.D., has
been appointed one of the Secretaries of the
American Baptist Home Mission Sooiety. -
A Baptist Church was recognized at Grosve
nor Corners, July 25th. The friends of
Rev. J. B. Thomas, of the Pierrepont
Church, Brooklyn, have recently shown their
regard for him by presenting him a sum,ex
ceeding six hundred dollars. The Second
Church, Springfield, Mass., is building a new
home of worship. In the last four months
between seventy and eighty have united with
the Baptist Church in Northampton, Mass.,
by baptism, and others are waiting. A
German Baptist Church was organized in
Baltimore, August 9. The Society at Cam
bridge City, Indiana, have commenced a new
edifice. Signal prosperity attends the mis
sion work of the Ohio Baptist Convention.
Twenty-six missionaries are now in commis
sion, and the additions to the Mission chur
ches since the commencement of the conven
tional year in October last is 446, mostly by
baptism. A new building to be forty by
seventy-six feet and three stories above the
basement has just been commenced at In
dianapolis, as an addition to the buildings
already in use by the Female Baptist College
in that city. A correspondent writes to the
National Baptist, I have never seen the pros
pects se favorable for establishing loyal Bap
tist churches in Nashville as now, there are
in Kansas forty-one Baptist ministers.
Rev. J. E. Clough, who with bis wife and
child, and in the company of Rev. L. Jewett,
sailed last November for India, under ap
pointment of the Missionary Union, reached
Madras, on the 26th of March last, after a
stormy journey of 116 days. They are sta
tioned at Nellore.
Early Persecution oe Baptists in Con
necticut.—At the recent session of the Sto
nington Union Association, (Baptist,) a reso
lution was adopted recommending that the
pastors preach historical discourses upon the
rise and progress of particular churches, and
also as recalling the past experiences of our
denomination. In the course of remarks
upon this, Father Read, of Jewett City,
stated that his grandfather, John Read, had
refused to pay his minister’s tax of $B, be
cause he belonged to another denomination
from the Standing Order, when his horse,
worth forty dollars, was taken by the sheriff
and sold to pay the assessment. But the
costs eat up the balance, so that nothing was
ever returned. At another time, he was im
prisoned in Norwich jail for the like offence.
There was an abundance of this kind of “sup
porting the Gospel” in former days.
Kentucky Colored Churches. —A cor
respondent of the Journal and Messenger,
writing from Louisville, says: —“I visited
the Fifth Street Baptist Church, and found
them occupying a large and elegantly fur
nished house, filled with well-dressed, atten
tive hearers. The pastor, Rev. Henry Ad
ams, furnished some facts of interest in re
gard to the church. They number at least
700 members. Three of the wealthiest are
worth only about $2,000. A large propor
tion have nothing but their labor. They pay
$l5OO yearly for minister’s salary and inci
dentals. They sent a box of goods to Beau
fort worth $300; took up amissionary collec
tion, a short time since, of $5O; have expended
$5O per month, for five months past, for the
benefit of soldiers in the hospitals. Their
Sabbath-school averages 250 scholars. Rev.
R. Snethern, pastor of the Green Street
Baptist Church, informs me that their mem
bership, collections, house, &c., are about
the same as the Fifth Street. Here are two
.colored churches that pay at least $2,000 each
yearly for the church and Sabbath-school,
and benevolent purposes, none being worth
over $2,000, and the average being about $3
each.” In the face of such facts as these,
we are constantly told that the colored people
are not capable of taking care of themselves,
and need a master.
Loyal Baptists in Virginia.—There
was a convention of colored Baptists in Rich
mond, August 11th, composed of represen
tatives of at least seven counties; in all 12
churches, of 8500 memoers, sending 40 dele
gates. The largest congregation is the First
Baptist Church of Richmond, 1,753 mem
bers, and a Sabbath-school of 375. The next
is the Gilford Baptist Church, Petersburg,
1,320 members, and a Sabbath-school of 500.
The average, number of communicants in the
different societies is about 450 ; and although,
in several instances, the white trustees have
ejected the colored people from their prem
ises, they hoped, by diligence, economy and
united effort, to again provide themselves
with houses of worship.
Tennessee.—The Government having
granted to Rev. Dr. Howell, of Nashville,
$5,000 to repair the house of worship in
which he “ fired the Southern heart” before
the rebellion, tbe repairs have been made,
the house re-opened, and men of like faith
with the Doctor are gathering to his standard.
GERMAN REFORMED.
Mercersburg Seminary.—The,following
resolution was adopted by the East Pennsyl
vania Classis at its last meeting:—
“ Inasmuch as our Theological Seminary is
situated in a region of country where it meets
with but little sympathy, and we have but
few members, and, whereas, &e., therefore,
“ Resolved , That we, the Classis of East
Pennsylvania, most respectfully ask Synod to
take into consideration the propriety of trans
ferring the Seminary from Mercerrburg to
the city of Philadelphia.”
LUTHERAN.
A new church edifice for a German Lu
theran church is now in progress in this city,
on the northwest corner of Fifteenth and
Ogden streets. The structure will be of brick,
sixty-four by one hundred and two feet, with
a steeple one hundred and twenty feet high.
It will be compledted as rapidly as possible,
and will probably be under roof before cold
weather sets in.
Lutheran Beneficence. —There bav'e
been donated to Illinois University upwards
of $5OOO ; to Hartwick Seminary, New York,
$10,000; to the Theological Seminary at
Gettysburg, $30,000; to the New Seminary
at Philadelphia, $60,000; to the Wittenberg
College, Ohio, $65,000; to the Pennsylvania
College, at Gettysburg, $85,000; making a
grant total of over a quarter of a million of
dollars.
UNITARIAN.
We have received intelligence from various
private sources of the success of our brother
Stebbins, in San Francisco. His cburch is
full, and his preaching is received with great
acceptance. Everything connected with the
society is flourishing, and the cause is pros
pering. A new society has been organized at
Sheboygan, which begins under promising
circumstances. It is « spontaneous growth,
and sprang up of itself. . For this reason it
has more than usual vitality. A Sabbath
school has been started, an organization of
the parish made, and about $2OOO subscribed
towards building a new church. A second
Unitarian church has been organized in Mon
treal, Canada East. The first meeting for
worship was held on Sunday, the 30 tn ult.
Over one hundred persons were present on
that occasion in the forenoon, and about
eighty at the evening service. The new so
ciety seems full of life. and energy. There is
room for a second Unitarian church in Mon
treal. The population of that, city has more
than doubled since the organization of the
first society in 1843.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Romanizing Progress in the English
Church.—Some months ago quite a noise
was made by the discovery that some of the
Puseyite priests of the Anglican Church were
hearing confessions and granting absolution,
much after the Roman Catholic fashion, and
motions, were made in Parliament looking
towards an investigation of the matter. It
seems, however, that this is one of the points
in which the English Church was not re
formed. A London letter writer says:— ‘
“It turns out that, in thejmatter of confes
sion, the High Church party had the best of
it. The law in respect to it was not reformed
at the. Reformation, and- it is hard to see
what was, except property and the preroga
tives of the crown. We have an English
Benedictine preaching in London, and Eng
lish nunneries are multiplying. I met nine
nice-looking Anglican nuns in a bunch the
other day, on a railway. The no-popery
papers rave, but they cannot stop the ten
dency in that direction.”— Presbyterian.
The Power of Prayer.—Recently in the
Fulton Street, N. Y. daily prayer meeting,
a speaker referred to a meeting which he had
attended, where twenty were present, only
one of whom was unconverted. His mind
was perplexed and in trouble, and he wished
they would pray for him. They did pray for
him. He was .converted, and became and
is an active Christian. At the time of this
meeting, outside and at the threshold of the
door where it was held, was an assemblage of
thirteen other persons, convened to make fun
of the meeting within. The conversion of
the man encouraged the brethren to pray
earnestly for the conversion of those without.
Those within felt the presence of the Spirit
in converting power. They knew the names,
number, and object of those without, and they
prayed in succession most fervently for their
conversion. Two of the brethren had led,
and as the third commenced, the door was
opened, and one after another of those out
side came in prostrating themselves and cry
ing for mercy, until the whole thirteen were
converted. It was a most wonderful display of
Divine mercy, and power to save.
Rebellion Consorting with Romanism.
—Rbe Montreal Witness says: “It is but a
few days since Rev. Mr. Cameron, the special
messenger of the raiders to Richmond, joined
the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec. Dr.
Blackburn who endeavord to send infected
garments into New York, has just taken the
same step ; and other raiders, such as Mr.
Young, have gone already so far as to an
nounce to a very attentive priest, that they
have abandoned the Protestant prejudices.”
Young Surrat is also reported as having gone
to a convent in Canada. —Gospel Messenger.

The rates of premium are less than those of any
other Company covering the same risk.
No medical examination is required, and thousands
of those who have been rejected by Life Companies,
in consequence of hereditary or other diseases, can
effect insurance in the TRAVELLERS' at the lowest
rates.
Life Insurance Companies pay no part of the prin
cipal sum until the death of the assured. The TRA
VELLERS' pay the loss or damage sustained by per
sonal injury whenever it occurs.
The feeling of security which such an insurance
gives to those dependent upon their own labor for
support is worth more than money. No better or
more satisfactory use can be made of so small a sum.

Loos o’er the fashions which old pictures show.
As the} prevailed some fifty years ago;
At least that phase of fashion which conveys
Hints of those instruments of torture — stays !
And then compare the old, complex machine,
■With fch*t which in these modern days is seen J
No more a/ steel and whalebone is the cheßt,
Or side, o. liver, terribly compressed;
No more *re curving ribs, or waving spine,
Twisted a*d tortured out of Beauty’s line
For ftinn and r <cJence both unite to show*
How much <f r ealth to dress do women owe.

In Mbs. B Herman’s Corsets, ladies find
The laws of Health with FoehiorCs taste combined
Supporting equally each separate part,
They cramp no action of the lungs or heart;
And no injurious 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,
So that by none can slight defects be spied,
While e’en a figure, which is understood
As being “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 others they must supersede;
Fashion's demands with usefulness they blend,
And so are truly every woman's friend !
