S.—The report of the late meeting of this Ohio Presbytery says :—" The free conversation on the state of religion disclosed the fact that all of our churches are in a prosperous condition, and some of them the Lord has '`especially blessed." A Veteran Gone.—Mr. Robert C. Reid, a resident of Ohio since 1800, died at his resi dence near Xenia, Ohio, October 17. He was one of the pillars in the old Scottish Covenanter Church of Greene County, having belonged to that denoMination for over fifty years. " Agate," the Washington corres pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, is his only surviving son Continued Acoessions.—The work ofg.race among the churches of the New Castle Pres bytery continues, and the pleasant fruits thereof are gathered in from time to time. At a recent communion season, thirty-four persons were added to the a church at New London, Chester County, Pennsylvania, of which the Rev. R. P. Dubois is pastor.— Presbytt Synod of Baltimore, 0. S.-=-The Narrative speaks deploringly of tie absence of revivals, abounding intemperance,. profanity, vice generally, and the spirit of worldliness. It is, however. enabled to say:—" It gives us the greatest pleasure to learn that .the. churches along the border, which the vicissitudes of war had torn and scattered, not only give evi‘ dence of vitality, but are putting forth efforts to heat the bieaeh'es and repair the desola tions of Zion." Recanting Backward.—Two years ago the Presbytery of -New Orleans withdrew from the C. S. A. General Assembly, and took an independent position. Last month it met and rescinded that action, and took - its place once more with the Southern Assem bly. Rev. J. IL Hollander, the man whom' ,the rebel officers, .while the, city was in rebel hands, threatened "to lock up his church and`burn him'in it," withdrew from the PresbYtery, on the ground that " he could not countenance a Southern organization." - A Church Revived.—. Rev. Charles E. Van Allen was, on - the 31st of October, or dained and installed over the Presbyterian (0. S.) church in Middle Smithfield, Pa. by the Presbytery of. Newton. This church had been for some years without a pastor, and was in a depressed and unhappy condition. In the settlement:of Mr. Van Allen, the people, . as - if Moved by a common impulse, laid aside their differences, rallied around him, repainted and refitted their house of worship, repaired its surroundings, have raised an excellent choir, and procured a me lodeonl and . best 0.4 . all,: find Iheirliamony, zeal, and liberality already crowned - by the special influence of the Holy Spirit. Some oases of hopeful .conversion:have already occurred, and strong hopes Of more are cher ished. Valuable Meetings.—Some of the Presby teries in Western Pennsylvania are holding Presbyterial Conventions—not meetings for ecclesiastical business, but fordiscussion and prayer,with special reference to the need of the effusioßs of the Holy Spirit. The Baa ner says of the Convention of the Presbytery of Allegheny City, on thelst inst. :—" There was much of a spirit of.humble and penitent confession of shortcoming among the minis ters and elders, and of earnest, importunate supplication for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. At least one brother was.able to tell' of' a band of praying wives and mothers in his congregation_, and of another band of young ladies who are accustomed to ' meet every Sabbath evening, one hour before the public services, to pray for themselves' and their pastor. Resolutions were adopted re commending to the several pastors to make arrangements for holding protracted religious services in their congregations, laboring to `gether, two and - two, in the work, and at such times as:they may judge most suitable. The BAnner'aleb speaks of deep, prayerful,' and hopeful interest, as the feature of similar meetings in other Presbyteries. Itema.—The First Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis is about erecting a new church edifice which will be • the largest and most commodious in the West.—Rev. 0. H. Hazard, late of Bordentown, was installed over the Second Presbyteriap Church in New Brunswick, New Jersey, October 26.—The rebel Rev. Dr. ,Leyburn has been invited to a pastorate in New Orleans.

A religious in terest has existed in the Pinkerton Acedemy at Derry for some weeks past, .and several cdfitersions have taken place. •. At the-meeting of thelirooklyn Confer encei‘action was taken upon two important subjech—the supply of men in' suffipient numbers for the ministry, and the evpgeli zation -of the Outlying population' in New York and „vicinity.; vicinity. The Conference sanc tioned the action taken by' the National Council, with referenCe to lay preaching, and regarded that as the way in which we are to ,f.cl-refief in the present exigencies of the country. i . Washington.—The new Congregational Church at the , capital was ” recognized" by an Ecclesiastical Council, on the 15th inst., Dr. J. P. Thompson, of New York, preach ing the semon. A correspondent of the Congregatiohnlisi Says :--" The urgent 'and immediate necessity of this organization is a permanent building. With A church edifice, a large number of' pews could be instantly rented, or at least ;I judge this to be the fact 1 , . 7 from what, I hear said upon the subject. As ti it now is, numbersiot.Congregationalists at 'tend church in other places, not choosing to 2 el etach themselves from places where they r , 'I. ave been accustomed to attend till they are ure of accommodation• in the new church." The Rhode Island Conference gave its ttention to the following points, under the • neral subject of Parochial Evangelization :-- " 1. The responsibility of every church for ) - evangelization of its distinctive parish, or ,-- ion of a parish. - • "2. How may religious efforts in behalf of' • ose in agricultural districts at present be " .nd the reach of the ordinary means of • e be conducted? "3. How may the outlying classes of ! nufaoturing districts be . most effectually $- ,Ited by the churehee ofChrist ? ,•\ 4. How may the population of our larger , . ns and cities, native and foreign, be evan i,. •lized?" THY, AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1865. Right Topics for Ecclesiastical Neet ings.—The Congregationalist's report of the late meeting of the Andover, Mass., Confer ence says :—" After a prayer-meeting of half an hour, the morning was occupied with a discussion, opened by Dr. Blanchard, of Lowell, on the question, whether, and how far, the 'Promise of the Comforter, recorded by St. John, was intended for all believer, and not only for the apostles ; or how much of the promise is left over for us. A larger number took part in the animated discussion that had followed than had ever done so before since the Conference was organized ; and what was more gratifying, a much larger'.propor tion of laymen. Utterance vas given - by some to the conviction that we do not under stand or appreciate all that is possible in Christian experience, or in Christian labor and success, through the gift of the Spirit; and an expectation was, expressed, indeed it was•perhaps the distinguished feature of the meeting, and seemed a general expectation, that we are soon to have a time of great spiritual refreshing; that it is near, even at the doors." GERIIAN REFORMED. Harrisbnig Mission Church.—A conk nninion season was held in this Church on the 29th ultimo, under very favorable circum stances.

Three of those last year reported have become self sustaining. Nineteen new stations have, therefore been established by the Board during the past twelve month—a practical evidence of progress most cheering to aIL The finances of the Board are repo rted in a healthy condition. Rebeiptabf contributions during the year, $8,885.29.

Mr. Getz read a re port of his very interesting and successful work at Mahoney City and Hazleton,at both of which places churches have een built during the few months of his missionary service. Henceforward he is to concentrate his labors in 'Mahoney City and parts ad jacent, and another missionary will be ap pointed to the other part of tht field. It is the purpose of the Convention to increase this missionary work in the mining districts, and a committee of laymen was appointed to procure subscriptions to a special fund for that purpose. In the Susquehanna coal region, the . corner-stone of a new church in Shamokin was laid on the 7th inst: This is the result of a missionary enterprise com menced no further back than last spring. A parish has been organized, and the field is represented.as full of promise. The Southern , Church.—Bishop Davis, of the South Carolina Diocese has issued a Pastoral oh the present and pnaspective re lations of the diocese. He denies that the orgapization;of a separate Sonthern Church was a schism. He says :—" The Southern Church is nciw rightly constituted, and is an independent • and integral branch: of . the Church 'Catholic. As Such, she can of right, shape her own courie. — She is, alSo free, to return to her union with the Churc h a the North. Which shall she do ? This is the griat r proposition. Hp urges that the ten dencies of the , age are political and secular, and its ruling powers are those of combina tion. This, he says, securesdominion but is d . angerous to truth. The territory o f the Union is also too vast , for any one Church. "Our Southern country< is limited, homoge neous, and not given to speculations. Does it not appear, then, that this is our surest foundation for peace and truth? I declare to you, brethren, my strong desire is, that, under the mercy and guiding providence of God, the Southern Church may be enabled to maintain her present independent, posi tion. This I will seek, and to this give my best efforts." Items.—The Convention of the now dio cese of Western Pennsylvania has elected as Bishop, Rev. J: B.

Clarkson, the newly elected Bishop of Ne braska, took 'place •in St. James' Church, Chicago, .his late parish, on theelsth instant. Six bishepiS and Morethan fifty clergymen_ of the Church were ' present.. —Bishop Stevens recently in Lebanon, Pa., confirmed nine persons, in connecti6n•with - Rev. Mr. Abel's mission in Lebanon, Colebrook, and Cornwall. LUTHERAN. Decreasing.—We had no idea that the shadow= of the Lutheran Church was growing less; yet such is the case, according to the sta tistics of the Lutheran Almanac. The copy for 1865 gives. the following, grand total : Ministers; 1,543 1 ;" congregations4;76s ; com municants, 292,723. The Almanac for 1866 gives: Ministers, 1,523; congregations, 2,632; communicants, 286,273, or a decrease of 20 ministers, 133 congregations, and 6,450 com municants.—Lutheran Observer. A Pastorate Divided.—The charge con taining the congregations of York Sulphur Spings and Petersburg, in York County, Pa., has become so much strengthened as to allow of the settlement of a separate minister for each.

Life mem bers pay $2O ; Life directors $lOO, and Life patrons $5OO. MISSIONARY. , The Best of Signs.—A Baptist missionary in India writes:— Quite a number of our best boys have given up very remunerative government employ and have entered the! ministry. This cheers me. I feel that we may look, for, success such as we have not seen yet." He further writes :-"At our annual meeting we had reported fifteen traveling preachers ; but the Board was so much encouraged at the report of the preach -era,--that. thor appointed. ‘att new wan,- 50 that. we are now running twenty-five men as trav eling preachers."' Another Missionary Failen.—We have received intelligence of the , death of. Rev. Samuel A. Rhea, of - the Nestorian Mission, of the American Board, while on his way from Tabriz to Oroomiah, with Mrs. Rhea. They spent the night at a small village, where Mr. Rhea was attacked with sickness, re sembling cholera. Not finding any comfort able accommodations, they left the next morning, travtling on horseback, although he Was still suffering from the disease. They had not proceeded far before he became much worse, and he died suddenly on the road. Anstralia.—No more difficult work has been undertaken anywhere than that among the aborigines of this country. The Mora vians-have made an encouraging`beginning in elevating the natives from their deep degra dation. The converts •walk Worthy of their high' calling, not bringing reproach on the cause which they have espoused; some young people are coming forward as candidates for. baptism, and the schools have been attended in a manner that, gives reason to hope for the futuie. The 'amount of success already re ceived has induced the Melbourne Committee in aid of Moravian Missions 'to commence a new.mission among the wild tribes residing in. the District of Cooper's Creek. ' FOREIGN. English Setvices in Germany. —A corre spondent of the Christian A lvocate, writing from Berlin, says :—".lt is a a honor to our country to be represented abroad by such a minister a.s, Governor Wright. He is now happily situated at N0..24 Regenten Strasse, and is in the active discharge of his duties. Mainly through his efforts, we have begun English service; and design to continue -it every Sabbath through' the winter. Our first sermon was preached last Sabbath toy Professor Hepburn, of North Carolina; tu3d the little hall was well filled, mostly by Ter sons from England. The great hindrance is a lack of a suitable place of worship." IISCELLANEOIJS. Four Hours Ahead.—ln three months from the time that oil was found at Pithole City, there was a town built containing from eight to twelve thousand people, .and within the Circumference - of a mile there axeßro duded`thieS-thousand barrels - of oil per Presbyterians of the "Other Branch" were for once up to the spirit of the age, and commenced preaching there four hours in advance of the Methodists, who are generally the pioneers. ,Other towns . grow up in cen turies—this in months. Well, therefore, may the hours be noted. A theatre was erected at Pithole when two Monthsold . , which, in the absence of church buildings, as used: S a church.• Thus, after all, it seems that as ready as Presbyterians and Methodists were to occupy the field, Satan was a little in ad vance of both.—Evangelist. American Biblelociety.—This Society is now fassins through its jubilee yeas, and the occasion istiwisely seized upon for special con tributions aa a thanksgiving to God for the world-wide results of its fifty years of labor. A circular recently issued by the secretaries says :—" The, whole plan for celebrating the jubilee year has met a hearty response from OUT friends in every Part' of the country. Many resolutions of our auxiliaries and-eccle siastical bodies hive •already been forwarded. Some of these evince a noble, practical sym- pathy. The Massachusetts Bible Society has appropriated $5OOO for the Arabic Scriptures. One society in the West voted to raise a thousand dollars beyond their usual dona tion. Anotherin New Jersey aims at $2500, which is more than double its last annual receipts. In Indiana an effort is making to raise $lO,OOO among the Sabbath-school children. In Illinois it is proposed that their special jubilee gift shall be $50,000 above the ordinary receipts. We hear of liberal things devised by liberal hearts in Ohio, New Jersey, and New York. Specific contribu tions have been frequently received for the freedmen, the South, and other objects. Many Bible societies will celebrate the jubi lee year in -their own time and way, thus making little jubilees all ever the land. Addresses and sermons will be delivered by ministers and other friends of the cause: The echoes of our jubilee trumpets are re turning to us from beyond the seas." Christian Unity-A Platform.—The new mover eat which from several late inter enommationa meetings in New York; has grown into an organization 'under the name , of the "Christian Union Asssciation,7 is= receiving. great favor. ' ,At a late meeting of the Association, attended by clergy and members of tlie , Old and New-School Presby terian, Reformed Dutch, Episcopalian, Con gregational,. Methodist and Baptist churches, Rev. Dr., Ferris, presiding, the following " Declaration of Praacij9les and Plans," re ported by Rev. Dr. Vermilye, w as unani mously adopted :-- ' w ill of " Knowing it to be the will of our Lord. Jesus Christ; the Kink and Head of the Church; that his people should' be all line, in and 'through 'Him; and believing that the Holy Ghost, by his Divine power, hath in these latter ( days wrought effectively upon the' hearts of Christians,=thus drawing ; theme to-, gether as by a mystic , bond, and unifying; them in faith, hope, and charity: Therefore, moved by convictions of imperative duty, and encouraged by the vents of Providence, we, the nieinbers and. friends of the American` Christian Union Association, do set forth the following declaration: " 1.. ThaktliO..iMity%hf, ,Siiirit&reates. the unity of the one Holy Catholic Church. "a That the doctrines of the common sal vation as Set forth in What id Called the Apoi tles' a.nd the Nicene Creeds,- compose the, broad' basis with which all subsequent for mularies of the Evangelical denominations of the Christian, Church'• cohere. " 3. The Church, thus one in spirit, and agreeing upon the cardinal and eternal truths of reielation and redemption, ought tribe and may be so unified in visible fellowship, as to give eVidenee to the world that it is one in spirit; faitb,. and purpose., , " Denbidinational'organizations not destroy, spiritual oneness—any, more.than the several niembers'of the human bOdY ilestroy its integrity-rso,long as they are animated by the mind of Christ. "5.

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 schoolis 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 involved in every investigation.' The classes are arranged in three departments Primary, Academic, and Collegiate.
