This effectually prevents all persons of rebellious proclivities from sharing in the government of the State. SOUTH CAROLINA.—Returns from all the districts give Orr, for Governor, about 500 majority over Wade Hampton. Gov. Perry was elected Senator, 0ct.30, for the long term, ending 1871. The rebel Generals Wade Hampton, Ker shaw, Butler, Martin and Brattan, are mem bers of the South Carolina Senate. GEoßarA.—The Georgia State Convention has repealed the secession ordinance and pe titioned the President to release all State prisoners. The Convention ; Oct. 31st., re pealed, " but did not declare null and void," the ordinance of Secession. The debt of Georgia is $1,000,000; but of it $18,000,000 have to be repudiated, being the amount raised in aid of the rebellion. Alexander 11. Stephens has been nomina ted for Governor. He is now at Atlanta. Rebel _lmpudence. —The Governor has ad vised the State to claim the cotton General Sherman took. Why not also the provisions and forage, the use of bedding and shelter, the value of the railroads he destroyed and reparation for damages generally in suppress ing the rebellion, including the injury done to property in Atlanta during the bombard ment. ALABAMA.—Brig.• Gen. Swayne recently infbrmed the President that large numbers of our officers and soldiers retiring from the army, do not, leavthe State, but are pur chasing plantation and becoming permanent residents. .• The whites in Mobile are determined to break up the colored schools. The President has been asked to prevent it. FLORIDA.—The Secretary of State has in formed Governor Marvin, that unless' the Congressional amendment to the Constitu tion abolishing slavery, is adopted by the State Legislature, the reorganization of the State cannot be recognized. NISSISSIPPC—Affairs among the freedmen in Mississippi are represented to be very un satisfactory. Many of the courts still refuse to admit negro testimony. LOUISIANA.—Governor Wells is actively organizing the State militia. The officers appointed - are mostly Southerners who were prominent in the Confederate army. TENNESSEE.—The State Senate has passed bill under the caption, "a bill to do justice, and,render persons of African and Indian de scent competent witnesses in the courts of this State." Its previsions are in these words : "Be it enacted by the General .Assembly of the State of Tennessee, That persons of African or Indian descent, are hereby declared to be competent witnesses in all the courts of this State, in as full a manner as such persons are, by ap act of Congress, competent witnesses in all the courts of the United States; and all laws and parts of laws of this State, ex cluding such persons from competency, are hereby repealed." CALIFORNIA.—At a new quicksilver mine 300 miles east of San Francisco, the laborers employed are Freedmen, recently arrived. Richrpfma Flea.. . . rived . from t,hina, with a cargo of 250 Coolies, including over'4o women. They were bound to labor five years, at-four dears per month, clothing themselves. Their other necessaries were to be provided for by their masters, who were also to take care of them in case of sickness. The cost of procuring Coolies on these terms is $BO each. NEW MEXICO. —Mr. Chavez, Republican candidate for. Congressional Delegate, has been elected by 2300 - majority. This is a very large Republican gain. THE CITY Fort the week ending on the 26th ultimo, the entire exports from Philadelphia amount ed to $513,825, and of this sum, $350,547 was petroleum, nearly all of which was shipped direct to Hamburg, Belgium and Ireland. THE FAIR for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home closed on Saturday last. About $lOO,OOO were realized, most of which is clear profit. MISCELLANEOUS. INDIANS ABOLISHING SLAVERY.—The Le gislature of the Chickasaw Indian Nation has ratified the treaty of peace with the United States, abolishing slavery. LIEUTENANT-COLONEL A. C. El - Amax, U. S. A., who has made several inspections of the Andersonville prison, states that the lives lost at that one spot, by stavation and cru elty, outnumbered the killed and wounded in the British army in all of the great battles of the peninsular war and at the battle of New Orleans. A CURIOUS railroad accident occurred at Clinton, Connecticut, a few days since. An express train was approaching, when a cow, annoyed by a small dog, dashed on to the rails. When the train had passed, the cow lay with her head cut off, and the little dog, with his tail cut off, sat between the rails looking after the retiring cars with a face in dicative of the most intense astonishment and disgust. THE organization of the New York paid fire department has at last been accomplished. It is now called the Metropolitan Fire De partment, and consists of thirty-five steam fire-engine companies and twelve hook and ladder companies for the city proper. Only twelve men go to each steamer. One of our city volunteer companies turned out five hun dred and forty-five at the parade. ONE hundred and twenty-four clerks were, on Thursday, discharged from the Treasury Department to make room for disabled sol diers. THE PREREQUISITES to a recognition of the Southern States as reorganized are stated to be the followin b a Ist. The adoption of the Constitutional amendment. 2d. The repudiation of the rebel debt. 3d. A guarantee that the freedmen shall be protected. Not one of the States in question has ful filled all three of these preliminaries. SILVER MINES OF NEVADA,—The editor of the Reese River Daily Reveille, whose statements command the confidence of the public, says:—" This mountain range was never equalled in the richness and multipli city of its silver-bearing ores. For one hun dred and fifty miles, from north to south, from east to west, scarcely a mile intervenes in which are not bodies of metalliferous rock of immense value. These hills thin run sloping away to the sky are pierced with veins of delicate silver to an extent and richness that will one day astonish the world, and which make them more precious to an ad vancing civilization, than though crowned with the most gorgeous palaces and cathedrals. Nowhere upon either continent is such a grecit reward offered to capitalists. The most con scientious need never fear of betraying the innocent or doubt that his largest promises will be fulfilled.—Mang Register. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1865 FINANCIAL The internal revenue receipts on Monday and Tuesday were over a million and a quar ter per day. On Wednesday they were $2,- 100,635; on Thursday over $2,500,000 ; on Friday, 2,271,059. The circulation of the State Banks has diminished from April till July, from $130,000,000 to $83,000,000. In 1863 it was $238,000,000. The monthly statement of the financial condition of the United States Treasury appeared November 3d. The Philadelphia Press gives the fol lowing comparativestatement:-- Total debt, July 31.1865 $2.874,084,526 99 ... August 31,1865 . ' 2,845,999,245 10 ... September 30, 1865 2,834,039,074 57 .•. October 31. 1865 2,749 854,753 81 . On Saturday the receipts from internal revenue 'were $1,525,539,25. FOREIGN. MEXICO.—On the 16th of September, the anniversary of Mexican independence, Maxi milian '.publicly adopted Don Augustin de Iturbide, the eldest son of the first Emperor of Mexico, as his heir. The Liberals attacked Matamoras on the 26th of October, and were repulsed with a loss of 500 killed mid wounded. A curious phenomenon occurred in the Val ley of Mexico on the 6th of October. Five large streams of water burst suddenly from the moutains, which, if they do not diminish soon in volume, will form a considerable river. ENGLAND.—Lord Palmerston died on the 30th of October, at 9'35 A. M. He was two days short of Si years of age. Not being en titled to a seat in the British House of Lords, unless elected to:that position as an Irish re presentative Peer, he *as returned as a mem ber of the House of Commons by various constituencies. He was a member for Cam bridge University for twenty years. In 1831 he lost this seat in consequence of his views on parliamentary reform, and on other ques tions, but was again elected from other places, having been regularly returned from Tiverton from 1835 to the day of his death. In 1809 he was made Secretary of War, and he suc ceeded in retaining the same position for nearly twenty years, and during no less than five different administrations. In 1828, for the first time, he found himself in opposition to the government, when he broke loose from his old allies of the Tory party, and threw him self into the advancing ranks of the Whigs. In 1840, the Whigs came into power and Lord Palmerston was Made Foreign Secretary. In this position chiefly, his reputation as a Di plomatist was made. The one thing which, above all others, ever marked his diplomacy, was his eagerness to form revolutionary alli ances, and at the very earliest stage. He promptly recognized the independence of Bel gium, and his quick approval of Louis Nap oleon's infammis Coup d' Etat compelled his retirement from the Cabinet. He returned to power, in 1855. He formed the ministry under which the Indian mutiny and the war with China occurred. With a brief interreg num in 1858, he continued to be Prime Min ister of England until his death. He was married in 1839, and leaves a widow, but no children. His name was Henry John Tem ple. He was the third Viscount Palmerston, and his title dies with him. The N. Y. Times says :—" Palmerston being at the head of British affairs when the Southern rebellion began ' it was a foregone conclusion' that the Cabinet policy would be to help the re bellion to the utmost extent possible. The precipitate acknowledgement of the belliger ent rights of the rebels, directly after the news of the bombardment of Sumter, without giving time for our new Minister, Mr. Adams, to reachhis_peit, was thoroughly be--ivat4--(14n7..te42--- . l.:Ton_ the - . Trent affair, the domineering and insulting language of which seemed specially framed to preclude all possibility of settlement without the most abject humiliation on our part, and Which would probably have led to the most disastrous consequences but for the friendly modification made by Prince Albert." The London limes of October 14th, created a great sensation by publishing a New York dispatch and letter of October 4th, to the effect that the United states Government had sent an ultimatum to France, that it would not permit additional troops to be sent to Mexico by that Power. The price of Ameri can stocks was immediately run down, five twenties being quoted at 64, The London Stardof the 17th gave an "authentic assur ance" that the news was totally unfounded. • FRANCE— Cholera. —According to the Paris Temps, the number of deaths from cholera in the department of the Seine, (Paris,) was averaging about two hundred per day. The deaths from cholera in Paris on Mon 'day (16th) are said, on the authority of the `Prefecture of Police, to have been 20.0. On Tuesday they were probably something more, for Monday is-a.day of much drunkenness among the working population. NO official returns are yet given. A correspondent writ ing on the 18th says, " the daily cases are above 500 ; deaths, 150." In Madrid the cholera continues to decrease. On the 16th there were one hundred and seventy-two cases and fifty-two deaths. THE RIISSO-AMERICAN,TELEGRAPH.—The surveying party have sounded across Beh ring's Straits and found the bottom as favor able as anticipated. A good harbor for land ing the Cable on the American side, called Grantley- Harbor was found. The Indians on both sides of the Straits were found well disposed. The floating ice coming through Behrings Straits was alive with wain* who appeared to be taking a dead-head summer trip to the southwest. The Brazilians have captured Uraguayana and 5000 Paraguayans. The prisoners were at once drafted into the Brazilian army to fight against their own countrymen. LATER • ITEMS.—Lord Palmerston was buried in Westminster Abbey, October 27. The funeral was public by express wish of the Queen.—United States Five-twenties, 63 to 631.-----The cholera had disappeared from several points in Spain. In Madrid on the 23d, forty cases occurred, of which thirty-two were fatal.—ln Italy sixty of sixty-five elections are known to have resulted favor ably to the Government.—lt is reported that . the Austrian Council of Ministers have resolved to concede a separate ministry to Hungary.—The Paris correspondent 9f the Times reiterates the statement that Secretary Seward had sent a despatch to the French Gov ernment, charging that the project of recruit ing. for Mexico in Africa, was thought of, but owing to the insurrection in Soudan, the troops could not be spared, so the project fell through.

The Editor has rendered an eminent ser vice to the Church of God by the learning.and wisdom whicWhe has diplayed in preparing this condensed andreally useful commentary on the Word of God. In terseness and comprehensive style, he resembles the venerable Brown, of liaddington, while in rich experimental matter, he displays a thorough evangel ical spirit. His illustrations are numerous and admi rable in their character. Instead of being mere im aginary, groups of p arsons, 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 hence 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 grocers of monthly num bers to be afterwards bound.

SMITH, D.D., This Seminary has boon in successful operation for several years at No. 1580 Arch street.
