COMPROMISE.—Two churches in New
Lisbon, Wisconsin, 0. S. Presbyterian
-and Congregational, regarding a consoli
tion as necessary to their prosperity and
usefulness, have come together on the
basis of a New School ecclesiastical con
nection.
RE - v. B. N. SEYMOUR, late pastor at
Centreville and Alvarado, Cal., has been
dismissed by the Presbytery of San Jose,
to unite with the Bay Association of
Congregational Ministers. Efe takes the
pastorate of the Church at llaywards.
GRANVILLE, OHIO.—The pastorate
here was vacated, a few months since,
by the resignation of Rev. Dr. Jacob
Little, one of the oldest and most highly
esteemed pastors in the State. On the
14th inst., the Presbytery of Pataskala
t installed as his successor, Rev. David
E. Beach, a young man whose labors
are giving much satisfaction. Rev. Dr.
Kingsbury, of Putnam, preached the or
dination sermon.
-CHANGE OF FIELD.—rARev. A. C. Frill
sell has been compelled to relinquish his
.pastoral charge at Buttermilk
y., on account of an affection of his
eyes, requring him, for the present,
to discontinue his studies. He has
taken charge of the New York Deposi
tory of the Boston American Tract
pociety, located in the Bible House.
He brings to the station good executive
abilities.
THE " MISSIONARY. Box" CAMPAIGN
OF THE WINTER OPENED.—A Home
Missionary (anonymous) acknowledges,
through the Evangelist, the reception of
a box, barrel, and a draft for thirty dol
lars, from the First Presbyterian Church
in Aurora, N. He says, "all the
articles were just what we needed, and
not any one thing was sent that we
could well do iwithout,"—an excellent
hint for those engaged in filling mis
sionary boxes.
ORDINATION OF EVANGELISM—TWO
licentiates, Mr. Arthur Goodenough and
Mr. Andrew Montgomery, were ordained,
sine titulo, on the 31st ult., by the Pres
bytery of Delaware, N. Y., in session in
Stamford. The sermon was preached
by Rev. J. J. Hough, of annonsville ;
the charge delivered by Rev. T. F.
White, of Delhi, and the other parts of
service performed by Rev. Messrs. L.
E. Richards, of Stamford, and C. H. De
Long, of Deposit.
UNION CONVENTION.—We have be
fore noticed the fact that, by previous
mutual arrangement, a Union Conven
tion of the Presbytery of Trumbull, N.
S., and the Presbytery of New Lisbon,
0. S., was to be held at Youngstown,
Ohio, on the 7th instant. It took place,
according to appointment, continuing
through that and the following day.
The attendance was not as significant
as might have been desired, there being
present five of the fourteen ministers of
the first named Presbytery, and nine of
the sixteen of the other ; also thirteen
laymen from the forty-four churches of
both bodies. Two ministers from other
Presbyteries were also in attendance.
The- proceedings were harmonious, and
the devotional services strongly marked
by brotherly love. The business part
of the meeting consisted chiefly in the
discussion of the following questions
1. Is an organic union of the Presby
terian Church desirable ? 2. What are
the obstacles in the way of its accom
plishment ? 3. What are the best means
of promoting this end ? To the first, an
affirmative answer was unanimously
given. Concerning the second, it was
resolved, also unanimously, ~,t hat, in
the opinion of this Copventon, there is
no insurmountable difficulty in the way
of an organic union." The third, after
full discussion, was given to a commit
tee, who brought in the following report,
which was adopted with entire unanimi
ty, viz :
In order to promote a union so degrable,
and hasten its consummation in love and
meekness,
Resolved, 1. That the ministers of these
two Presbyteries cultivate fraternal inter=
course by exchange of pulpits and by asso
ciate works in extra efforts, as may be con
venient.
2. That Ministerial and lay delegates be
appointed by each Presbytery to attend the
regular meetings of the other, at least Once a
year.
3. That a convention of these two Presby
teries be held at such time and place as shall
be mutually agreed upon by the respective
Prestlyteries.
4. That we encourage the circulation of the
religious literature of both branches of the
Church in our congregations.
5. That our Presbyteries memoralize our
General Assemblies respectively, asking them
in their wisdom to consummate an organic
union when the way shall be prepared.
CarrroaNrA.—The Synod of Alta
California held its annual meeting in
Oakland, the first week in October. The
subject of Home Missions is naturally
the engrossing one in ecclesiastical meet
ings on the Pacific coast, audit occupied
the earnest attention of the meeting now
noticed. The Assembly's Permanent
Committee, which had established $5OO
as the outside limit. of appropriations to
missionary churches there, was memori
alized for an extension of the figures to
$lOOO. Three new laborers have come
in during the year—one from the East,
and two by ordination on the ground.
Alameda, Rio Vista, Idaho City, and
Portland in Oregon were named as
places where churches should be at once
established. An additional church or
ganization is also needed
_in San Fran
&co. The reports of the spirittial• con
dition of the churches were generallyfa
vorable. The number of accessions
conversion has been unusually large.

METHODIST ENTERPRISE SOUTHWARD.
—There is a right way of doing things.
As such we characterize the organiza
tion of the " Methodist Episcopal Church
Extqnsion Society," having for its object
the riabling of the several annual Con
ferences to extend their influence through
the various States and Territories, by
assisting the inhabitants to secure places
of worship, so that a vigorous growth of
Methodism shall go on as the country
progresses. The Society went into
working condition last August. Its first
annual meeting was held on the evening
of the 14th inst., in this city, the full
Board of Bishops being present. The
sum of $2500 was reported as having
been received from some sixteen Confer
ences, and auxiliaries have been some
what extensively formed as the basis of
future pecuniary supplies. Within the
past two weeks, Wharton Street Church
in this city, and Broad Street Church
in Newark, N. J., have contributed $lOOO
each. The General Committee report
the need of $200,000 to• meet the most
pressing wants of the Society.
PENNSYLVANIA BRANCH, AMERICAN
UNION COMMISSION.
Its object is to feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and to aid in everypossible way the
impoverished masses of' the South, in the re
establishment of their industrial and educa
tional institutions upon a just and firm foun
dation.
It proposes to second the endeavors of the
Government to restore to the whole Country
the blessings of permanent prosperity and
peace.
By timely succor to suffering, it expects to
be instrumental in allaying asperity of feeling,
and uniting in fraternal affection, those who
are destined henceforth to be bound together
in a common nationality,
By the diffusion of intelligence among the
ignorant masses, it hopes to dissipate the
mists of prejudice and thus assist in the estab
lishment of our free institutions upon a basis
that shall never be moved.
Some of those whom it proposes to relieve
have never been our enemies, but have stead
fastly maintained their integrity in the face
of tremendous odds, and have suffered the
loss of all things on account of their allegiance
to the government of their fathers. Some of
them are poor blacks, long oppressed, but
now set tree, who 'while they - haii - usaa-tileir
liberators, naturally look to us, in their new
and untried circumstances, for guidance and'
help. Unused to think or provide for them
selves, drifting hither and thither, shelterless,
shivering, starving; unless we give them
temporary aid, their liberty will be a curse,
and death itself, a welcome relief. We,have
broken their fetters, let us help them now to
stand upon their feet.
Some of those whom it,proposes to relieve,
were once arrayed in rebellion against the
Government, induced thereto by the subtle
sophistries, and inflammatory appeals, •of
ambitious and unscrupulous demagogues, but
are beginning already to awaken from their
delusion, and repent of their folly.
Even were they still our enemies, they are
utterly vanquished and impotent for mischief,
and now that the authority of the Govern
ment has been so amply vindicated, we do
well to listen to the authoritative injunction'
of the Author of our common Christianity
when He says: "If thine enemy hunger feed
him, if he thirst give him drink, for in so
doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his
head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome
evil with good."
Thus it will be seen that every considera
tion of philanthibpy, Patriotiseand religion,
should induce us to engage in a work so noble
in itself, and so important to thaduture des
tiny of our Country.
The demand for immediate effort is impera
tive. Society in the South is in process of
rapid re-construction, and unless we avail our
selves of this formative, transition period, to
give it the stamp of right impressions, the
golden opportunity will be irrevocably lost.
And besides, there is now in many portions
of the South the most appalling destitution
of the necessaries of life. Our official reports
tell us of "women and children who walk
from ten to forty miles for bread, and then
obtain only a morsel, sometimes nothing,"—
"of naked human beings, crouching down
by the side of their once happy homes, now
reduced to nothing, save the roots of an old
brick chimney ;"—of tiers of counties in
Northern Georgia in which is not "as much
food, growing for man and beast, as can,be
found on a respectable Northern farni."
General Wilson says, " in ten counties adjoin
ing Atlanta there are from twenty-five to fifty
thousand persons already destitute of bread,
or food of any kind."
Many who have barely been able to subsist
during the summer, will inevitably starve be
fbre summer comes again, unless our charity
relieves them.
The Christian and Sanitary Commissions
have finished their noble and blessed minis
trations. They were organized for the war ;
the war is over and ,their labors are ended.
Emulating their spirit, the AllsulOAN UNION
COALAUSSION is earnestly . addressing itself to
the great work of physical and social recon
struction—a work of mighty magnitude and
vast responsibility. " With malice towlrd
none,
with charity for all," and an abiding
faith in God, we shall prosecute it.
Some of our most sagacious statesmen and
bravest generals have 'expressed their high
appreciation of the enterprise that we have
undertaken.
His Excellency, Andrew Johnson, has ex
pressed his cordial approbation of the work,
and therein but echoed the hearty " God
speed" with which our late beloved and
lamented Chief Magistrate greeted its organi
zation.
General Meade has consented to act as one
of the Vice-Presidents of the Commission,
and on the platform, with great earnestness,
has urged its claims upon the public.
General Fisk says, It is a work, worthy,
of every patriot in the land. * * Every
citizen of the Country, should labor to pro
mote the interests of all sections. I know of
no better way to do this, than by advancing
industrial enterprises, and elevatini , 's all classes
and colors, by the dissemination of virtuous
intelligence. * * You are at liberty to
command my service at any time."
General Burnside says—" It will be follow
ed by the prayers of all the loyal people of
the Country."_
Governor Brownlow, of Tenn., says—
" Ther e is great need of your schools."
Governor Holden, of North Carolina, says
—" I have no doubt the proffer (of educa
tional facilities) made by your Society will be
kindly and gratefully received by the • people
of North Carolina, the great mass of whose
citizens are anxious to bury all past feelings
and animosities, and resume fraternal rela
tions with the Northern people."
Governor Murphy, of Arkansas, says—
" The Commission is another evidence that
the spirit of Christianity is spreading. The
people are needy, and kindness will conquer
all bitter feeling. The numerous efforts of
benevolent institutions of the North, have
done more \to conquer rebellion than all our
reties." •
`General Howard, Superintendent of Freed
ms's Burean, says, and let his-words be well
w„e.,,,iglid by every patriot and Christian—
" that you, as a Commission, can
do
emigr"on and meet the wants of the
to - 1 --ae 2 u- Late industrial pursuits, to encour
agesuffering al"! the poor white people, who
have been degr by slavery, is collateral
i \
with my work, an eets my hearty sympa
thyediTa
and support.
' ,, ke work of elevating the
poor people of the South, of all classes, is the
'-;
privilege, nay more, it inthe duty of all true
men in this transition
Pend of our history
as a nation. It is well to ben,- in 'mind, par
l
ticularly amongst - our Christia a people, and
at a time when public sentiments likely to
be absorbed by other objects of interest, that
duty requires them to remember the suffer
ing poor, and make their contributions to
meet their pressing wants. The Union Com
mission affords facilities adequate to this im
portant work, and it becomes the Christian
Churches to examine carefully the fields tha
demand the sort of labor referred to, and ti
seek earnestly, and prayerfully, to discharn.:
the responsibilities, now more than ever de
volving upon them respecting this matter."
"Every assistance given to education an
industry affords direct and indirect aid in th
solution of the difficult problems affecting th
Freedmen. What we need at the South.
Christian Charity." 1
,
"All you can do to promote this spirit i
positive help, and every block of prejudie ,
removed, clears the way for real substantip
progress. I trust that your efforts will I
ceive every encouragement and the Divi e
blessing."
The Pennsylvania Branch, which includes
West New Jersey, has made arrangementsbo
establish two schools in Atlanta, and two n
Macon, Ga., for the benefit of poor w to
children. Clothes will be needed for twe e
4 r
hundred pupils—will you not lute ..st
the ladies in your Church to assist u in
this work ? that the stigma of poor .ite
trash, may no longer attach to these peo le.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey have now he
opportunity presented them of taking a: ro
minent stand among their sister States in his
benevolent apd Christian enterprise, of du
eating the Southern masses.
In conclusion, we earnestly invoke th co
operation of all friends of humanity, a d of
our beloved country, and especially Chriptian
ministers and Churches. Shall not the Work
of the American Union Commission re
membered on your Thanksgiving Day? or at
least before the close of the year ? We confi
dently expect a prompt and genero e re
sponse.

MISSIONARY DEPARTMENT.
, The A mynicAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION
is pursuing its important work of gathering
into Sabbath-schools the multitude of chil
dren and youth of our whole American Union,
especially of the more destitute regions and
districts in country and city. In doing this
we rely wholly on the voluntary contributions
of those who realise, in some degree, the ni6:
mentous consequences of neglecting such a
work.
We-are passing through a crisis in our his
tory. To sustain our missionaries, and to
furnish the needy schools with requisite
books, requires far more than we have re
ceived. The importance of sustaining the
"Society that takes - care of the children,"
was never mere urgent. Especially is this
true in the South, and among the freedmen
and their children.
The American Sunday School Union urges
its plea in behalf of all the little ones of our
great country. It has but one single aim—
to be useful in making ready for future re
sponsibility the boys and girls of the present
generation ; to bring them. to the Saviour,
and to secure them for Christ and his king
dom.
Is there any object dearer to an earnest,
working, Christian heart—dearer to our Sa
viour—more fruitful in glorious results to hu
manity and to the Church—than that which
baffles our blessed gospel to every door, and
teaches little children about Christ and hea
ven ?
The report for the past year, containing
much interesting matter, can be had on ap

CHOLERA.
A Certain Cure for this Disease may be
found' in the use of
PERRY DAVIS' VEGETABLE
PERRY DAVIS—Sir: Althoughpersonidly a stran
ger to you, yet the benefits I have received from the
use of your invaluable remedy, the Pain Killer, in
duces me to pen a word of praise for it, Experience
has convinced me that for Headache, Indigestion,
Pain in the Stomach. or any other part of the system,
severe Chills, Weariness, Common Colds, Hoarseness,
CHOLERA, CHOLERA MORBUS, Diarrhea, Dysen
tery, Toothache, &c., there is nothing better than the
Pain Xiller. I have this hour recovered from a se
vere attack of - theEick Headache by using up two
teaspoonfuls, taken at thirty minutes' intervals, in a
wine glass full of warm water.
. . . _
I am confident that, through the blessing of God, it
saved me from the Cholera during the summer of
1849. Traveling amid heat, dust, toil, change of diet,
and constant exposure to an infected atmosphere, my
system was daily predisposed to dysentery. .attacks,
accompanied with pain, for which the Pain Killer
was a sovereign remedy; one teaspoonful curing the
worst case in an hour, or at most half a day. My
brothers in the ministry have used it with much suc
cess is various diseases. ti
I have beard many cases, the country over, of dys
entery being cured by its use. Put in the teeth, it
would stop the toothache.
Gratitude, and a desire for its general use, has
drawn from me this unsolicited testimonial in its fa
vor. D. T. TAYLOR Ja.,
Minister of the Gospel.
The following letter is from Mr. Woodward of St.
Louis, to J. N. Harris, Esq., New London, Conn.
Mr. Woodward is a resident of St. Louis, a gentle
man of high respectability, and during the prevalence
of the Cholera in that city, watched the result of the
application of the Pain Killer for this disease, and
his testimony can he relied upon with the utmost
confidence.
Dear Sir: You recollect when I saw you in New
London in January last, nay expressing to you my
most sanguine expectations that DAVIS' PAIN
KILLER would have a tretnedou.s sale in the West
this season, and my anticipations have been more
than realized, and the testimony of thousands who
have•used it has been that they would not be willing
to go to bed at night without it in the house.
()n the appearance of the Cholera in this city, such
was the confidence in the Pain Killer as a remedy,
that many who purchased it remarked to me that
they had no fears or creed of the Cholera as long as
they had the Pain Biller by them, and hundreds took
it daily as a preventive, for no persons can have a
derangement of the bowels or diarrhea if they use
this medicine. This was the security and confidence
of hundreds acquainted with it. and when their
friends were attacked with the Cholera they would
administer the I emedy in large quantities internally,
and also externally by bathing and rubbing them
with'it, and in every case, when it has been taken in
any of the first stages of this disease, it has proved
successful.
I:consider it an infallible remedy. I have not
hearde of any individual in any family, who used the
Pain Killer when attacked, but what speedily re
covered.
The clerk informed me that he administered it to
Persons when cold and in the cramps, and it gave im
mediate relief, but still it should be given quickly,
for when the discharge of "rice water" has begun,
the hope of life has fled. Should this disease make,
its appearance among you as in all probability it will,
be not alarmed; you and all others there have the
remedy, and I am confident if the Pain Killer is used,
not a death by Cholera will occur in your city.
Respectfully yours,
A. P. WOODWARD.
Those using the Pain Killer should strictly observe
the following directions ;
At thb commencement of the disease, take a tea
spoonful of the Pain Kilter in sugar and water, and
then bathe freely across the stomach and boWels,with
the Pain Kille clear.
Should the diarrhea or cramps continue, repeat the
dose, every fifteen minutes. in this way the dreadful
scourge may be checked, and the patient relieved in
the course of a few hours.
N. B. Be sure and get the genuine article; and it
is recommended by those who have used the Pain
Killer for the Cholera, that in extreme cases the pa
tient take two [or more] teasponfuls instead of one,
sold by all medicine dealers. 1018-it

1111SINESS: COLLECE
GRATUITOUSLY.
This number of transferable Scholarships, to be is
sued at $5O each, entitling every holder to full instruc
tion in the Commercial Course, with the privilege
of assigning the same, after the completion . of the
course
AT THEIR FULL VALUE,
To a second party, who will be entitled to the same
course.
THE OBJECT,
To erect a Magnificent Building, on Chestnut street
or elsewhere, for the accommodation of the College.
EVERY STUDENT
To have an interest in the enterprise as , a stockholder.
and to become the patron of an Institution which, by
its character and permanence, shall be an honor to
the city and its founders.
PROPOSITION.
I hereby propose to issue to all qualified annlisaniu
for instruction in the Full Commercial Course in
THE QUAKER CITY BUSINESS COLLEGE
TRANSFERABLE SCHOLARSHIPS
TO. THE NtTMEEE OF
TWO TIIIOVSAND,
Indorsed with a contract to give each original holder
all the privileges of the Institution, until he shall
have completed the prescribed course, with the right
afterwards, or before (providing he surrender his
right thereto). to assign the same for its full value to
a second person, who shall be entitled to the same
course, it being understood and agreed that when two
persons shall have so received the benefit of the
scholarship it shall then be deemed canceled.
The object of making this proposition is to increase
the facilities and usefulness of the institution, to
guarantee its permanence, and identify it more closely
with the enterprise and spirit of the City of Phila
delphia as a city of schools and colleges, where gene
ral educational interests receive their just apprecia
tion and liberal support; and I pledge myself to
carry out the plan and purpose of erecting a building
for the accommodation of the institution, which shall
be all that can be desired in architecture, dimensions,
and conveniences for the object intended.
It is apparent that the success of the enterprise will
depend upon a large increase of patronage, and if the
rate of increase shall not be deemed sufficient, I re
serve to myself the right to discontinue the issue of
these scholarships at any time, yet, withoutprejudice
to the rights of any who hold those alreadyissned.
FA.II3 , I3A.N.TES,
PRESIDENT OP THE QUAKER CITY BUSINESS
COLLEGE
ADVANTAGES OF THE SCHEME
First—Under no circumstances can it beany disad
vantage to the Student, inasmuch as he will receive
his instruction at the same
,price as has heretofore
b ee n charged, and whatever he may afterwards re
ceive for his scholarship will be really a gift on the
part of the proprietor. If he dispose of it at its cost.
his course of instruction will cost him nothing.
Second.—The scheme is entirely practicable, as its
success will require less than three times the pat
ronage employed by this Institution during the past
year.
Third.—Whether it be eventually carried out or
not, the student will be equally the gainer, for the
contract with him will remain good at all events, and
his scholarship will be redeemable asabove prouosed.
Fourth.—Parents and Guardians having sons and
wards to educate in the future, can save money by
taking scholarships for them in advance of the time
of their entering.
Fifth.—Young men without the necessary means to
pay for a coarse of instruction, can borrow of those
a ble and willing to aid them, assigning the Sager
ships as security.
Sixth.—Any person interested in the success of any
worthy young man who may need assistance, can pur
chase for him a Scholarship, and reserve to himself
the benefits to be derived from its subsequent sale.
Such an investment would be a very acceptable pre
sent from a Merchant to a faithful employee. Let
the Merchants of Philadelphia remember this at the
approaching holidays.
Seventh.—The charter of the College. and an
arrangement already made for its continuance in the
hands of Trustees, afford a guaranty of its perma
nence; and at any time during its existence these
Scholarships must be redeemed according to agree
ment, whether in the hands of the present propnetor
or of another.
ADDITIONAL .ACCOMMODATIONS SECURED.
In addition to the building now occupied, the large
HALL OF THE
SPRING GARDEN INSTITUTE,
N. E. CORNER OF BROAD AND SPRING GAR-
DEN STREETS.
has been leased, and will be immediately fitted 111)
in
superior style.
This is one of the finest Halls in the city for this
purpose. and is admirably located to accommodate
those residing in the northwestern portion of the city.
It is 100 feet long and 4.5 feet wide, and is now under
going alterations and repairs costing about $2500. It
will be furnished at an expense of six or seven thou•
sand dollar!, and will be one of the most convenient
and attractive school-rooms in the country.
TELEGRAPH LIME.
The building at Tenth and Chestnut streets will be
connected with that at Broad and Spring Garden
streets by a Telegraph Line. thus giving additional
facilities in the Department of Telegraphing.
TEACHERS.
Several new Teachers havebeen engaged, and every
facility will be affordell to thoie who enter the Insti—
tution for the acquisition of a thorough practical
knowledge of business.
TO PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND YOUNG MEN.
Immediate application will be necessary to secure
the advantages of this offer, as the proposition will
not be continued before the public without the fullest
assurances of its ultimate success. All scholarships
issued, whether it be ten or one thousand, will be re
deemed as agreed. Scholarships can be secured in
advance of the time when it is intended to use them,
by remittances, per draft, through the mail, or by ex
press.
