way as to unite his curse upon 'it it, un mistakable terms, and utterly to defeat the plans and purposes of those therein engaged, we are of Ole opinion that no man of common intelligence, who will investigate this subject candidly and se riously can help arriving at the conclu sion that it is wrong to give countenance in any shape or form to such rebellion. Third. It appears to be a crime 'from the fact that it disorganizes the whole machinery of human government, and introduces a system of lawlessness and misrule, which renders both the inno cent and the guilty unsafe. It was cal culated to defeat the end 'for which gov ernment was instituted and carried with it enormities and cruelties which are un parolleled in the history of civilized man. It has developed itself in the deliberate starvation of vast numbers of brave United States soldiers—which is nothing , but cold-blooded murder. It has devel oped itself in a successful plot to assas sinate the President of the nation—one of the best men of all time. With the light that is now before us, we agree that all those who profess Christianity and have aided. or ,abetted the late re bellion, should confess their wrong frankly before the proper judicatory of the Church. We do not require this in an uncharitable or . censorious spirit, but be'Cause we believe the peace, purity, and honor of the Church of Christ de mand it. We are further of the opinion that the mere fact that a man has taken the amnesty oath, is not sufficient to rein state him in the Church. He, owes it to the Church to make a full and frank confession of his wrong, and to abide by and to acquiese in the decisions of its judicatories: If a man has taken the amnesty oath, and is unwilling to ac-, knowledge before a church judicatory that there is great wrong in rebellion, it would be difficult to escape the conclu sion that he, is, insincere. Kis in accordance with these princi pies that we proceed to inqu4e after the conduct of the officers and members-of our branch , of the Church during the late rebellion. , Whereas, Certain members of this body are known to have ~aided and abetted to a greater or IeE3B degree the rebellion ; and , . Whereas, The General .Asembly has instructed the Presbyteries composing the Synod of Tennessee, notto. admit as a member of their respective.bodies any minister , known to be disloyal to the Government of the United States ; there fore Resolved, That the names of Fielding Pope, John J. Robinson, John M. Cald well, Charles. C. Newman, J. H. Alex ander, Jacob Hood, and Joseph H.. Ma rtin, be - struck, from the roll until they shall 'give evidence of repentance of their complicity iii rebellion. We further advise all church sessions in the bounds' of Presbytery to take this subject into consideration, and to act with firmness, prudimce, and discretion, with regard to the eases that may come before them, ever keeping in, view, the .purity of the Church, and remembering that poor fallen human ' nature is liable to err. And we advise that - church sessions labor as far ss may be praCticable to win erring brethren from the error of their way, bearing in mind the injunc tion of the apostle, "If any than be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spirit ual, restore such an one, considering thyself lest thou also' be tempted." The following. minutes will be read with interest as indicating the spirit of the Presbytery : ACTION WITH . REGARD TO _RE4. WM. H. , SMITH. Whereq, Rev. Wm. H. Smith, who has been to soma , extent identified with the late , rebellion„has confessed. before this body, that ;events had convinced him that the iretellion was wrong, and that so far as he - had symimthized with it he has been-ix - the wrong ; therefore. Resolved, That Presbytery continue to recognize Rev. Wm. H:' Sinith, as a member of their body. ANOTHER CHAPTER In April, 1863, bat a short distance' from Mount Horeb, Union Presbytery was Sailed together and listened to a , Confederate sermon from Rev. John J. Robinson, from the text, I Tim. v. 5, "From such withdraw thyself." After sermon e the, followink minutes were Presbytery feeling that the good of the Church ofehrist in these Confederate States, and the success of his cause in generikl, demand that their, position in this great struggle for right and inde pendence, and upon the giOat vexing question of the day (slavery) Should be made known, Resolved, That this Presbytery will neither license nor ordain, nor . receive from another Presbytery, any man who, does not sympathiAe with the South in her present struggle fur independence, or holds that slaveholding is sinful, and ought to be abolished. Ayes—Fielding Pape, N. Hood, Win. Harrison, Joseph J. Martin, John J. Robinson, John M. Caldwell, Win. H. Smith, C.p. Newman. The - contrast suggests the words of the poOt-r- Truth. crushed to the earth will rise again ; The eternal years of God are here. The sacramental meeting in connec tion with Eresbyteq was well attended, and the spirit 9f the meeting reminded one of the good old days of former years. Yours, very . truly, SAMUEL SAWYER. KwoxviLLß, E. Trair%, Oatobei 4, 1865 THE AUBURN RAILROAD ACCIDENT, BY .EDWARD PAYSON HXMMOND A few weeks since, while riding on the train between Syracuse and Roches ter, • numbers of the passengers were ranch alarmed at the fearful rapidity with which we were hurled around its curves. At one of the stations, I ventured to speak to the engineer. I could but en treat of him, that even for his own, sake, if he was not prepared to meet God, he would never again run the engine at such a fearful rate' along that crooked road. But both he and the conductor, as if to afford comfort, assured me that they came slower than usual that night. I told them that I had never in my life been so frightened on a railroad car, and that sooner or later the rails would give way, and some terrible accident would be the result. The engineer finally said that he had nothing to do with making the time table, and that he must be " on time" or loose his employment. I cannot say, therefore, that I was surprised at the accident which on last Saturday occurred on' the Central Rail road, a mile and three quarters east of Auburn, at a place called Toy's Curve. We were running along at c about a usual rate when a rail broke, and thump, thump, bump, bump, went the forward truck of the car in which I was seated. The next instant our‘car, full, of passen gers, was unceremoniously rolled over and over, it is difficult to tell how many times. It was generally believed that our car made one- complete turn and a half do; . vn an embankment fifty feet. At any rate, we know that when it had spent its force, it was bottom 'side up, with the seats, that were now broken, above us. We, the poor passengers, were in every imaginable condition on the inside of the roof of the, car, which had so suddenly been placed beneath our feet—or,rather beneath us, for few of us found ourselves -on our feet. One, as he rolled about, cried " my arm is -broke'!" another groaned.out, "Oh, I am :killed! lam killed !" Some, almost buried be neath the broken cars, cried loudly for help. One father, almost frantic, was wildly calling for his little girl. No matter how many were groaning around him -. with broken limbs, his only question was " Where is my child, my child ?" All was utter darkness. If we tried to move about, we found ourselves tread ing on some poor, gasping, groaning, wounded one. It Was useless to think of getting out at the end of the cars: through a window was the only mode of egress.' So, through a window I went, and was glad to stand once more heheath 'the stars, looking down upon us gently, as though nothing unusual had happened. • But we did not stop - long to gaze at the 'stirs. Though my ankle was very bad ly jursd, and blood flowed from my wounds, my two coats literally...torn off me, still I soon found that others were in a much more dangerous condition than myself, and needed immediate assistance. Lights were soon brought, and those unable to move themselves were soon made as comfortable as possible on the dushions. 'ln the last car but one, I foiii* Mrs. Troup Martin and daughter, from Wil low Brook, with their faces almost cov ered with blood.. Her first words to me were, "Oh I will you not call them to gether and return thanks to God that so many lives are saved 7" What a contrast that Christian lady 'presented with a man whom I had heard profanely cursing his Maker but just ;,a moment before I I could hut say:to him, "'Sir, you ought to be thankful that, you are not in eternity, unprepared to meet • Him whose name you now profane." The rebuke wasi . kindly received,'and we heard no-more swearing. • The first of the:three Cars which ran off the track was'llteralli smashed all to pieces. ITUderneuih the debris of - ',the truck, with its heavy iron L wheels, lay two men,,whom at first it . seemed im possible tO.reseue, When few of us , took hold of the running a gear • and - at-, tempted to lift it , i we made :not the slight est impression.,:. At last, a telegraph 'pole was brought, and one the two was soon out. And still the' other, loudly at first, but more and more faintly, cried, " Oh, save me 1 - save mei save me !" I can never forget ho et those words sound : ed, as With ali,our might, we 'strove to snatch him from the jaws of death. Our own wounds • were all forgotten as we put - forth every energy in. his be half. As : his feet protruded, some one rudely snatched them, and , tried in vain , to pull him out; but this' only increased his pain. " Stop, stop," he " great iron is` right across my head'; you must get that off 'first." And so we toiled until, at last, he was in 'such a condition that he could be extricated. I chanced..to be nearest to him, end luhall never forget how with the little strength he:had, he threw 'one of his arms' around my neck,'holding me fast as in a death grasp. • - 'lt at once struck me as an illustra tion of the sinner off the way of God's commandments, with his own sins crush ing him down to death, crying . ~'° Lord save me, or I perish P' And; oh, I thought that if we were anxious to save that gasping man from a temporal death, how much more anxious, a thousand times, to save the perishing from the second death, must He be, who "came to seek and to save the lost." Oh, that the perishing might everywhere call to Him with even more earnestness, and cling to Him with a firmer grasp than did that victim of a temporal disaster, to those who sought to save him from a cruel death I THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1865 We were soon on board the cars sent down from Auburn, and enjoying the kindness of doctors and others who had come to our assistance. They were in deed angels of mercy. It is impossible to describe the scene witnessed on our arrival at the depot in Auburn. Hundreds upon, hundreds were gathered, many waiting to see who of their friends were among the wounded or the_ dying. It.was touching to wit ness the tender and tearful greeting of relatives and friends. The exit from the cars of ghastly men, women and children, some of whose faces were covered with blood, and others, un able to walk, carried by strong men, was indeed a sad sight. But still there seemed to me to be far more of joy than sorrow expressed.. All were so thankful that their lives were spared ! The scene was imposing and solemn, and most forcibly brought to my Mind the assembly which 'we must all witness when " before Him shall be gathered all nations,"' and when to the question " whence' came they ?" shall be given the answer, " THESE ARE' THEY WHICH CAME OUT OF.GREAT TRIBULATIONS." Yes, " in that day," many; with palms of vic tory, will bear the sad marks of having been by sin and violent temptations, rudely "turned out of the way," (Dent. xii. 28); but nevertheless " a great mul= titude which.' no ma'n' could' number, saying, salvation to our God, which sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb," " shall come to Zion with songs and' everlasting joy upon their heads. They shall.obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away!" CORRESPONDENCE IN THE NORTH WEST. A letter from the northwest may not be unacceptable to your readers'; and, first, a few notes of Of our younger class oA cities few can rival Cleveland. Beautiful in situation, With the blue waters of Lake Erie break ing on its threshold ; prosperous in its business, with residences and public i buil dings of much elegance, -and adorned by shrubbery in profusion, it is externally admirable. To us it is rendered still more interesting by the marked intelli puce and activity of its Christian men and women, and the more so as our own denomination embraces much . of till's enterprising Christian ele men t, and exer cises a controlling influence in t religions matters. It is cheering to find churches : so strong and - intelligent as our . churches in this city. The First, Church, Dr. Goodrich, pastor, retains its early vigor and, usefulness It is blessed in its pastor, who is a true man, ready 'for any good word .and work, at once enterprising, earnest and wise.

This is also a large and handsome .edifice, with a full congregation, and active 'Christian la borers,. It must not be supposed that these doctors, are venerable men, since they are a good deal this side of venera bleness in years. Here.

IN CHICAGO Chicage, the young giant of the north west 1 It)needs to be seen to be appre hended. • When young men were boys it was a'iillage it is now a great city. With the'seb-like lake before it, (where I counted at one time fifty-one vessels under sail—in exquisite sight,) an em pire of prairie behind it; it has the ele ments of an inland:' and of a seaport city. Fast as houses may be built under the stimulus' of enormous rents, they cannot be built fast enough to meet the demand. Its houses are, many of them, transient shells; but many, built of the beautiful -- creath-colored Athens marble, would excite admiration in . any city. Noble public edifices are also rapidly rising. - The churches are such as can be found in few of our cities. On Wa bash avenue, within a mile, are thirteen churches, and almost vittiout exception they are handsome--I had nearly said magnificentt--houses of worship. OUR OHIIROIIES Here, as in the other cities of our northern boqer, the churches of our own body 'are ,stiong , and,influential. The old Second , Ohurch (for they have things called " ol " in Chicago) and its pastor, i i Dr. Patte son, are well known as strong ingtitutio s in tbe , northwest. The Second C arch has an ornate and noble building, of Athens marble, also oii Wa bash ave ue, and is prospering under its pastor, D. Z. M. Humphrey..

Many pastors, of this region, who have been unable to attend the sessions of the Board in eastern cities, have here rekindled the flame of love for those far away in heathen dark nese, groping blindly,' with blind leaders, the- ivey,-.4t4a.--a dark eternity.

DEATHS, [For the American Presbyterian.] OBITUARY. Departed this life on Monday, the 18th day of Sep tember, 1865,,at the residence of her father, in Wil mington, Delaware, Mrs. R. LAYTON> wife of. Dapt. C. Rodney Layton, 11. S. A.. and daughter of L.:F. and Maria Bush, in the 26th year of her age. The following obituary notice is, composed of ex tracts 'TOM the remarks of the Rev. G. F. - Wiswell, rt the funeral. , b my swill thy Maker's will; • Tumultuous passions, all be still, • • 'Nor let a murmuring tho't arise; His wat are just, His counsels wise.' Death has Jeen here and from this happy home of af fection has. born the eldest.and one or theand dearest of the flock. A chficla wilco' dear compaction. has passed from earth to heairen, and onrjoy is turned to mourning our songs to heaviness. It is not needful that I_ should recount the story of that life, too soon closed on earth. It is ui for me to speak words of praise, or eulogy. Her life told its own story—how beautifully and how successfully, none who ever knew her need be assured. It is not my custom, as you well know, to dwell much on personal histories in such mournful circumstances as these in which we stand to-day: But I am constrained to hold for a moment before you the life and character of her whose departure we mourn. as illustrating the grace of God and the hallowed influ ence of the Christian religion in adorning and beauti fying the human spirit, and bringing it into sweetest ha mony with God and the pure and holy everywher e. * * *.As a child, from the day of tier birth to the last hours of her earthly history she was almost faultless. "Honor thy father and thy mother" was a divine command apparently ever in her mind. Of how many chilaren can it be said by parents, "they never gave us anything but pleasure"? How few there are who respect parental authority so implicitly as never to need rebuke or correction? Yet all this could be said of her by those who with stricken hearts, saw a be loved daughter leaving them, to return no more. In this respect she was a constant teacher and example for all children. As a wife, it is easy for us to understand how true and beautiful was her married life. By nature so gentle, so amiable, so affectionate, by grace so refined and chastened and purified. she could :ear^ely fail to adorn this tenderest and most isserNi of all earthly relations. * • * We think of her an a Christ's's, mem ber, a Sabbath-school teacher and guide, with un igned please. She consecrated her heart to the ser vice of God, in her early childhood, and openly pro fessed her faith in Jesus. In the earliest days of my ministry he , e, I found my home in this Christian family. I remember her at the age of fifteen as exhi biting all the womanly and lovely traits of character that were projected over her whole life. As her pas tor, I do not know that she ev,-r be tra• ed the slight est inconsistency with a Christian protqsion, or life. She was uniform and even iu her entire walk and conversation, and I think of her with nothing, save pleasure and satisfaction. She was a model for all young Christians. And to her I may safely refer all her companions, and urge them to fol low her as she followed Christ. She early became a teacher in the Sabbath-school, and always in thin, as in every other relation, showed the mast consciation& fidelity to her Christian obligations. Ever promptly with her class, maintaining a character safe for their imitation, she was successful—how successful was il lustrated in the fact that almost all who were ever under her instruction, are now inthe Church of Christ, How many will meet her in the world of light above, who by her prayerful, faithful efforts, were led to the cross, we cannot now know. My friends. Ido not speak these words in the way of vain eulogy. Were I to do so, I should conform neither to her taste nor her example. I do not say ,these things to magnify her. but to magnify the grace of God in her. Sher was imperfectione felt that as she felt it. Yet by Divine grace her character was perhaps as near a faultless one, as we ever see. Her Christian virtues and graces were the • legitimate growth of a new life imparted by the Holy Spirit, and may" be desired bY all who would find a home in the better even the heavenly country." This Christian domestic circle; though so many years intact, has at length been broken. * * * A favo rite daughter has passed to the farther shore—a loved sister has left this for a heavenly home—a sorrowing husband has let go the hand of a Christian wife, to elasp . it no more. * • * Thrice ble-sed is she who has safely reached the abode of glory. We tusk of her to-day as having joined the sainted ones who went betore her, and mingling with the 'shied- bought throng who worship day and night in the eels-dal temple, " Wherefore comfort one another with these words." grpfrial, 40irto. .11Kir Daily Vnion Prayer Meeting Removed to N 0.1210 Chestnut Street.

The 'Editor has rendered an eminentier vice to the Church of i tiod by thelearning and wisdom which he has diplayed in preparing this condensed and really useful commentary on the Word of God, In terseness and comprehensive style, he resembles the venerable Brown, of Haddington, while in rich experimental matter, he displays a thorough evangel ical sp irit . His illustrations are numerous and admi rable in their character. Instead of being mere im aginary, groups of persons, or supposed representation of events, they are views of places, houses, and im portant localities, or pictures of actual trees, animals. implements, 'and objects of oriental character, and lance they materially aid the untravelled reader in understanding the phraseology of the Sacred Text. The chronological order, other tables, and the literary matter compiled from modern sources of research of this edition have enriched it abundantly, and the pur chaser will have an elegant volume for a sum much less than he would be obliged to pay for a Bible if procured by the protracted process of monthly num bers to be afterwards bound: WM.
