af aw ©jratriiei Fulton, New Y ork— The pastorate of . 18 c uurch, one of the prosperous charges in connection with the Presbytery of Oswego, was recently vacated by the transfer of Rev. Edward Lord to Adams, New York. It is now about again to be filled, Rev. F. A Spencer having accepted a call to it. Mr. Spencer spent the earlier part of his ministerial life as - pasjor in Westmoreland, in the same Synod, (Utica,) but has spent the last twelve years in the same capacity in New England. His ministry has thus far been an exceedingly useful one, both aB pastor and preacher, and his return to Central New York is an event which is hailed with much satisfaction. Rev. Selden Haines, D.D., formerly pastor in Rome, New York, has returned to that place, with a view of making it his permanent residence, intending to labor in the Gospel as calls in the neigh borhood may arise. Dr. Haines has filled different pastorates in the State of New York, always, we believe, at important points, and in all. cases making for him self a noble record. Rev. W. Wisner Martin, late of San Jose, California, arrived at New York week before laßt. We have before noticed his projected installation at San Jose, as having been put off on account of his sickness, and that he was lying very low and in a very critical condi tion. He rallied sufficiently for the voyage home, and we are happy to see it stated that he seems no worse for it. East Tennessee. —Rev. James A. Griffes, who went out under the auspices of our Home Missionary Committee, has accepted an invitation to a permanent settlement over the church in New Market, in connection with Union Pres bytery. Writing to The Evangelist, re specting the churches of the Presbytery, he says:—“ They are all more or less depleted by the results of the rebellion. Those members, however, who r*«»jain, seem imbued with the spirit of 14bor, and are anxious to revive the ordinances of the Lord’s house. Hence, whatever effort is put forth by missionaries com missioned by the Presbyterian Home Mission Committee, is duly appreciated and heartily welcomed. The churches stand ready, notwithstanding the deso lation of war, to do what they can to sustain the preaching of the Word, and to reorganize and sustain Sabbath-schools and prayer-meetings. But it ought to be constantly remembered that these churches are terribly weakened, numeri cally and in material resources; that the church edifices, to.o, are sadly out of re pair, and some of them utterly destroy ed.” Mr. Griffes thus offers his field to the notice of Christian people disposed toward emigration:—“lf any of your readers at the North are longing for homes in a more genial clime, let them come to East Tennessee and find a most genial and healthful climate, a fruitful soil, beautiful scenery, mountains, hills, valleys, rivers, and ‘branches’ fed by springs, the like of which you do not see at the North. Let them come into the New Market Yalley and buy up the farms vacated by rebels; let them come and line these unemployed water courses, with mills -and manufactories, and arouse the hum of busy life; let them come with the spirit of Christianity to fill up our depleted churches and help us make good the wear And tear and loss by war, and they will all be most heartily wel comed. There is room and a welcome for farmers and mechanics, for all who will come and apply industry, skill, and capital to the sb yet but partially de veloped resources of this beautiful and fertile country; especially so if they will come imbued with the spirit of an earnest Christianity.” Another Veteran Gone.—Rev. Tru man Baldwin departed this life at Cicero, in Central New York, July 27, at the advanced age of eighty-feroy«ars. The wife of his youth preceded him to the land of the glorified just three years pre viously ; and on the 12th of August, their daughter, the wife of D. M. Lins ley, of Kalamazoo, Mich., joined herself to the same saintly society. Mr. Bald win’s active ministry belonged to the days of the past, and was exercised in Charlotte, Vermont, and Pompey and Somerset, N. Y. His pastorate in each of these places was one of marked re sults, such as building op a feeble church, the conversion of sinners, and furnishing valuable recruits for the ministry. His memory will be the blessed one of the jUBt. Another Church Housed.— The Christian Herald has the account of the dedication of a church in the small but neat and thrifty village of Bantum, twenty-five miles ea6t of Cincinnati. The dedication took place on Sabbath, the 2Jth ult., Rev. C. E. Babb, of College Hill, preaching the sermon. A collec tion was made, a little more than suffi cient to complete the payment for the building and furniture. The Herald says of this enterprise:—“Two years ago, a little baDd of Presbyterians, who had been worshipping in, an old house in the country, and were known as the Monroe Church, determined to build in the village. There were but thirty members in all. They had energy, lib erality, and faith, and the result is, that they have completed a brick house of worship, 40x60, with a neat tower; have finished it in the best style, carpeted it, furnished it with a fine chandelier and pulpit lights, a sofa and chairs, a large pulpit Bible and Hymn book, a commu nion service, etc., etc'” Rev. J. L French is the pastor, and the Herald adds, that he “ has now one of the best church edifices of its size in the State, and one of the most interesting congre gations, if we may judge by what we saw of them during our brief visit.” Rev .Herrick Johnson. —A London letter to Pittsburgh says that this much beloved pastor of the Third Presbyte rian Church in that city, with his wife had left for the Continent a few days previously. lute’s fifth. the foreign quarterlies. From Messrs. L. Scott & Co/, New York, through W. B. Zieber, Philadelphia, we have the reprints of the July number of the Edinburgh, London- Quarterly, and Westminster Reviews. Among the eleven articles in the Edin burgh, we note that on Idiot Asylums as presenting, in available shape, a large num ber of interesting and valuable facts, gath ered from French, English, German, and American sources, upon the humane and skilful efforts now being made for this class of unfortunates. The cheering, and in some cases, surprising success attending these efforts is fully described. Due credit is given to the efforts and the writings of philanthropists in this country and the Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble Minded Children, near this city, is speci fied as furnishing remarkable instances of improvement. Indeed, it seems to us that teachers of stronger minded children might learn the most profitable lessons of patience, gentleness, and ingenuity in communicat ing ideas, from these laborers in a more dif ficult branch of education. We do not admire the haughty tone of the article on the Revision of the English Bible; in which all who oppose the imme diate undertaking of that important work, are rated as ignoramuses or hypocrites, and in which the claim is made for the opposer of the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures that they are more anxious than believers to give the people an adequate version of the Bible. No popular version of the Bible would ever have been given to the people, and no enormous benevc lent establishments for spreading it broadcast among men would ever have originated from the cold-hearted and semi-infidel school of exegetes repre sented by the Edinburgh critic. Only those who are convinced through and through of the inspired character and the inestimable value of the entire Bible would take the pains necessary to make it the book of the people. A new translation every few years may be very needful as a landmark among the scholars, but such a course would be utterly fatal to the far more important purpose of making the English Bible a household book, wherever the language is spoken. Nevertheless, we think the time is at hand when a judicious emendation of the text in the spirit of such scholars as Ellicot and Alford may be made, and it is, we think, unwise for the Church to take a positive attitude against it. Rather should the discussion of the subject be encouraged, and light from all quarters be sought as to the means and method hv whioh it may be most effectively and ac ceptably done. The rise of a new. poet is cautiously an nounced in the notice of Swinburne’s “ At alanta in Calydon”—a drama in pure classi cal style, full of grand passages, showing wonderful mastery of language and variety of rhythm. Munro’s Lucretius, with trans lation and notes, is commended as the most valuable contribution to Latin scholarship made by any Englishman in the present oentury. Other articles are Watson’s Life of Bish op Warburton, Early Italian Art, The Tun nel through the Alps, Gothic Architecture in Spain, China and Japan, Lady Duff Gordon’s Letters from Egypt, and Dissolu tion of Parliament. The London Quarterly contains a most varied lißt of ten articles. The sec ond article, on the “ Appian Way—Pagan and Christian Sepulchres," gives an account of the recent discovery by an enthusiastic Italian explorer, De Rossi, of a tomb on the Appian Way, containing the sarcophagi of, several of the early Roman bishops with their names distinctly engraved upon them. There is considerable argument in the ar ticle against the received opinion of almost continuous and bloody persecutions of the early Christians under the Roman Empire. We need hardly say that the article on the H Close of the American W ar" - is written in the narrowest vein of South ern partisanship. According to it, Mr. Davis is a hero whom the North will not venture to punish, Mr. Lincoln was a common-place man, the figment of States Rights is exalted to the dignity of a politi cal axiom, treason is no crime, &c., &c. The views of the principles involved may indeed be colored by intense Tory princi ples, but what are we to say of such gross misrepresentation of facts as the assertion, that “ never was war encountered by a peo ple so unprepared as the South," that “ the first Secretary of War in the Cabinet of Jefferson Davis, General Randolph,-was well known as an abolitionist !” that “Booth was not a Southerner and had no connec tion with any State of the Confederacy !" We are not simply amazed at such utter mendacity, but we soberly ask ourselves how we can reoeive these British reviewers THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,. 1865 as guides on the simplest matters of fact in which their prejudices are involved? Such recklessness, which in the case of Review ers holding eminent and responsible posi tions in the literary world, is nothing less than a crime—must draw its own punish ment in creating a general distrust of the statements and conduct of the Review. Other articles in this varied list are “Grouse,” “Browning’s Poems,” “North Polar Explorations,” “Gleanings from the Natural History of the Tropics,” “The Church (of England) in Relation to Politi cal Parties”—an article which we should read with a lively remembrance of the un trustworthiness we had detected in the one on our war; “Carlyle’s Frederick the Great,” “Sanitary Reform in the Metropolis,” “The Elections.” The Westminster Review utterly un like the London Quarterly —which is tho roughly orthodox and thoroughly anti-Re publican—is, and has been, a consistent, earnest, and able advocate of the National cause through the whole war; and as our rea ders are well aware, the most powerful and insidious assaults upon the foundations of revealed religion written in the English tongue appear, or are eulogized in its col umns. The present number contains a favorable notice of the “Later Speculations of Comte,” in which the atheism of the. author is tenderly dealt with and shown to be not inconsistent with “religion” by J. StuaTt Mill. But the almost insane ravings into which this idol of Mr. Mill suffered some of his late'st lucubrations to degener ate, are also referred to, and the picture drawn of him, even by his friend, is not without some broad lines of the ludicrous. Mr. Mill, however, is full of pity, and feels more like weeping than laughing. There are also articles on “Herbert Spencer’s Bi ology,” “ Mill’s Political Economy,” (popu lar edition), on “Imperial History,” “Ame rican Novelists—Theodore Winthrop,” “The Principles of our' Indian Policy” and the usual comprehensive Review of Contempo rary Literature, in which special promi nence is given to works of a rationalist or infidel-scientific character. The most interesting article to us here, is the one entitled, “The Anti-slavery Rev olution in America.” This is a luminous, fair, and genial essay in which the whole course of sentiment on slavery in our coun try is succinctly stated, and the final devel opement of the strife of opinion into a conflict of arms is drawn. Much of this article reads as if written in. reply to the one described in the London Quarterly. In regard to the preparedness of the South for war, the important admission of the rebel E. A. Pollard, is quoted, to the effect that “Mr. Floyd, when Secretary of War, under Mr. Buchanan’s administration, by a single, order,” effected the transfer of 115,000 improved muskets and rifles from the Springfield Armory .and Watervliet Arse nal to different arsenals in the South.” Considerable space is also given to show “ that in the beginning of the war there was a substantial balance in favor of the South.” A strong and needed protest against President Johnson’s surrender of .the free blacks to the mercy of their former masters, and a hope that Congress will re fuse to sanction such a sourse next winter, are expressed. AMERICAN MONTHLIES. Hours at Home. A popular month ly, devoted to religious and useful literature, edited by J. M. Sherwood, September, 1865. In this number* we find twenty-four pieces of prose and poetry ; most of which are quite brief, too many, in fact, being mere sketches, with the appearance of being hastily put upon paper, though none are without value. The opening article, Dangers and Demands of the'New Era, is a just and needful view of the responsibilities and solemnities of our times. A leadiug part in shaping the des tiny of the nation is truthfully ascribed to the press. Five more chapters ot Geoffrey the Lollard are given. The curse of Lord Arundel and Hide and Set kin Forest Tower are graphically described, but there is a want of vigor in the b ilk of the story. “ Magdalene," is a perfect prose poem, the gem of the number. “ The Bands of Orion," and the conclusion of Anchds&CGß- Trench’s lecture on the “Social Aspects of the Thirty Years’ war," are selected articles of high character. Of the poetry, we de cidedly prefer the “ Toast to the Bee," by the author of Geoffrey the Lollard. Hero worship on Lake Luecer ik a sprightly and charming piece, but we are cut short before we are ready for it, and our friend, Hon. 0. T. Hulburd, tells us only the least bit about the religion of Sir Walter Scott and his biographer ; well, there was not much of it to tell about, and we must suppose Mr. Hulburd did all his material would allow. We rejoice to become better acquainted, through Dr. J. P. Thompson’s article, with such a true hero as Brigadier General Ran som, whose life, short as it was, left in effaceable memorials of the most sublime bravery and devotion. Hours at Home may be had of T. B. Pugh, Subscription agent in this city. 0- Scribner & Co., New York, are the publish ers. The Atlantic Monthly for Sep tember, maintains fully its eminent reputation as a literary organ. “Coupon Bonds" is the commencement of a story that promises well in every respect. The uneasy conscience utterly destroying the enjoyment of wealth selfishly withheld from worthy objects, appears in the imme. diate foreground. “ Needle and Garden” has dragged its slow length as far as No. IX; although not without interest, it lacks the dramatic elements requisite for such a series, of articles. “Up the St. John’s River,” is another of those spirted and minute sketches of the skirmish warfare of the department of the South, by Col. Hig ginson, we believe. “ The Luck of Abel Stedman” is an admirable magazine story, Abel Stedman being of the Micawber type, and the woman for whose death he was vainly waiting, being as original a character as Miss Havisham, or Lady Hester Stan hope. at the Heads” is the absurd title behind which is concealed an account of Jeff Davis’ capture, written by one of the participants. A grand patriotic ode, in what may be termed Pindaric measure, covers several pages of the Allan; tic. It is a noble lyric, originally written for and recited at the Harvard Commence ment. Half of the book notices, only four in number, are occupied with works antago nistic to revealed religion, Spencer’s Social Statics and Hedge’s Reason in religion. In conformity to the prevalent tactics of the enemies of inspiration now-a-days, it is claimed for these authors by the critic of the 'Atlantic, that they are truly religious, and their works true supports to faith. So we were told of the spiritualists who almost universally rejected Scripture, that their revelations were a real support to some of the main doctrines of revelation. We. do not see it. Timeo Lanans et dona ferentes. Boston, Ticknor & Fields. Our Young Folks for September, is fresh, racy and pure, but the lamest' part is that in which the nearest approach to religious teaching is at tempted: “Father Brighthopes.” It is veritable milk and. water. The veteran counsellor of our childhood, John Todd, in his green old age, can put such poor, palei feeble moralizing as this to utter shame. We miss “Our Pets,” and Mayne Reid’s. “ Afloat on the Forest.” Boston, Ticknor & Fields. The Student and Schoolmate is an admirable little monthly, which holds up its head bravely in the face of much com petition. Its stories are entertaining, its regular dialogue and exercise in declama tion must commend it to school boys and girls, often puzzled fon exercies of this sort. Boston.

It is a long, time since we have met with a hook of this class, which has afforded us so much unalloyed pleasure It describes a series of events, illustrating, in a truly surprising manner, the adaptedness of the -siaspksi ; methods of Gospel effort, when accompanied hy the press, as in Golportage, to quicken the dull and inert intellect, to rouse the moral and spiritual natures of the neglected poor, and to leaven whole com* munities sunk in ignorance and irreligion with the desire for knowledge and spiritual light. The Mountain Missionary, is a lad whose early advantages were about like those of Abraham Lincoln ; but who, when once roused by the Gospel, displayed such a rich nature, such an original and noble character, and such an unconquerable zeal for the salvation of his mountain neighbors, as, in the representations of the author, made him the instrument of an extensive and delightful work of evangelization among them ; while his numerous adventures,' and the abundant resources he displays in meet ing the demands upon his prudence and faithfulness by the great variety and deep religious necessities of the people, make him a centre of uncommon attraction to the reader. David Woodburn is the very romance of Colportage. There is not a commonplace page, character, or scene in the book. Is it true ? There is certainly amostlivelyverisimilitudeaboutit Granted, a man of the originality, force of character, and simple devotedness of David, and a field as wild and remote from civilized cen tres as the mountains of West Virginia, and the incidents follow almost as a logical sequence. Besides, the writer, in a note, promises us, the public, that if we appre ciate the present effort, “ a continued nar ration of the life and abounding labors of this Mountain Missionary, to the period of his early decease at 27 years of age, will be embraced in a sequel. We shall be disap pointed if the public does not speedily re move all doubts on the subject. Death in the Ministry.— Our Western exchanges give the sad intelligence of the death of Rev. T. P.
