shaw, Butler, Martin and Brattan, are mem
bers of the South Carolina Senate.

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

reparation for damages generally in suppress
ing the rebellion, including the injury done
to property in Atlanta during the bombard
ment.

Congressional amendment to the Constitu
tion abolishing slavery, is adopted by 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

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,

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

very large Republican gain.

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.

PRILADELPIIIA, Pa.
I have known the Illustrated Domestic Bible for
somo time. 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.

REV. CHARLES A. SMITH, D.D.,
This Seminary has boon in successful operation for
several years at No. 1580 Arch street. A new locality
has been selected, not only because it is more central
in its relations to the most densely populated portions
of the city, but also because the school-rooms are un
usually large and airyeand admirably adapted to the
purpose to which they are•designed.
To the present and former patrons of the school it is
needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who
desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu
tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this
school is to educate, in the only true sense. To secure
this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches
pursued, so that the scholar may understand the
principle invslved:in every investigation.
The classer are arranged in three departments :
Primary, Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa
rate and ample accommodations for primary pupils, as
well as for those belonging to the higher departments.
All the departments are subject to the same discipline
and general supervision.
Circulars containing Course of Study, and other in
formation, may be obtained at the Presbyterian
House. 1334 Chestnut street; also, at 1226 Chestnut
street, or address Box 2611, Post Office, Philadelphia.
The next session will commence on MONDAY, Sep

The rooms will be ready for examination about the
