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.

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.

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.

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.
