'r ": GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
LETTER FROM OUR ROCHESTER COR
RESPONDENT.
We need hardly remmd our readers
that it was - ‘ expected, in advance, that
this would be one of the most important
add most inferestitig: meetings of the
General Assembly since the great dis
ruption in 183'7. The fact that the two
Assemblies, the Old School and the
littW, were to meet in the same' place;
that this might lead to some special de
monstrations toward reunion; that some
new measures might be proposed in re
gard to the manner of carrying on our
Foreign Missionary work, and the cer
tainty that something :must he „dune, to
make more practical and. beneficent the
administration of our Church Erection
fund, all tended to concentrate special
interest in this meeting.
•We chance to know that the first
query in more than one mind was, Is
the body well selected? Are' the able
men to be there, to meet the great ques
tions as they come up ? It will be seen
that some, at least, were there, and that
the questions were met. Conspicuous
among the leading minds, were the yen
*able Dr. Beman, Prof. H. B. Smith,
Dr. Parker, Dr. larke, Dr. Knox, Dr.
Shaw, and many others. Here were
Nkrificiom and experience. It was a well
balanced, strong, working, harmonious
body; and we, think the result will
show that it did its work well.
' deserves special mention, that it
was prevaded by a. feiirent religious feel
ing. It will be remembered that many
of the CommissiOners were fresh from
revival scenes of matchless interest_
Their hearts were warm; their words
were tender, and they were prepared to
do all they could to set forward the
Redeemer's kingdom. Who can doubt
that in such a state of mind, their vision
was'cleared, their judgments were sancti
fied they enjoyed special advantages
for looking at the world's wants, and de
vising for its salvation.
The daily meetings for devotion were
- full of love and tenderness. The hour
was always too short for the number
who wanted to speak and pray. Touch
ing requests for prayer fur dear friends
also came in daily, as in the, Fulton
Street meeting, and called out the live
liest sympathies, and the most tender
supplications. It was good to be there.
We caught unmistakable glimpses of the
celestial city. We thought of old
Simeon, "Now lettest"--
What wonder then, that we thought
of our brethren of the' other branch with
real sympathy; and that we were ready
to meet-their pleasant advances toward
reunion with entire frankness and cordi
ality? They convened under very dif
ferent auspices. Disloyalty to Chard
and State, rank and - defiant, came with
them, and demanded control of their coun
sels. They expected a stormy time,
and they had it, until treason found
itself in a feeble minority, and slunk
away to its native' home,= in Kentucky.
t With the Old' 'School A.ssenihly, thus
purged, we were one in heart, in hope,
in polity, in doctrine. They held out
the warm hand of fellowship; what
could we do but grasp it righicordially ?
They appointed a committee of five of
their own number, to confer with a like
Committee of our Assembly, in regard
to holding some devotional meetings to
gether. Of course, we _appointed such
a committee on our side, and on their
joint arrangement we held a union pray
er-meeting on Monday evening of last
week in the Second Church, the place of
their sittings, and a union celebration of
tie Lord's Supper on Wednesday even
lag in the First Church, the place of our
gathering.
. At the former meeting, the two Mod
erators presided, and admirable speeches
were made by them and by Rev. Drs.
Joel Parker, and . H. B. Smith of our
Assembly ; by A. K Chamberlain, Esq.,
of Cincinnati, from the other Assembly,
and by Rev. Dr. McCosh, of Scotland,
Who was providentially present, all look-
Int kindly toward re-union. This, we
tOtr not - to say, was the most important
sndmoit delightful meeting of the sefl
son. It was a meeting which will hold
a 'very high place on some chief page in
Vie. history of the American Church. It
was the pivot on which future history
will turn. After that meeting it was
most easy and natural to: unite in cele
brating the Lord's Supper; and that only
drew our hearts more nearly together.
In these meetings' all saw and felt,
deeply felt, that henceforth the two as
semblies were virtually one, whether
there shadl yet be a more formal union
or not.
But one of the most important Mat
ters determined by this Assembly, was
a radical change in the administration
of the Church Erection Fund; just that
change which has been so earnestly ad
vocated by some of our best men in all
the later meetings of our Assemblies.
It will be seen that the great fund of
$127,000 is to be permanently invested;
that the interest is to be used in gifts,
rather than loans, and so avoid burden
ing the churches aided with a debt; that
the money thus realized is to be supple
mented by an annual collection from the
churches, and that also used for church
building purposes ; and that, to carry
out this plan, a General Secretary is to
be appointed by the Executive Com
mittee, to bring the matter before the
churches, and raise the needed money.
It is also proposed to increase the
snm donated to any church from two
hundred dollars to any stun desired, to
the amount of one-half the value of the
church to be built, including the lot on
which it is erected.
It is confidently believed that this
change will greatly enhance the useful
ness of this fund. It was first • very
carefully considered by a large and well
appointed committee, then fully discussed
in the Assembly, and adopted by a
majority of more than ten to one. This
cause is henceforth, therefore, to be put
on the same level with that of Home
Missions, the one to furnish ministers,
and the other to supply, honses of wor
ship in which they may preach the ever
lasting Gospel.
If this Assembly had done nothing
else - but inaugurate this change, or this
enlargement, this alone would make .it
one of l the most, important of our convo
cation t . and when we consider that
which was so well done tOvinrd reunion,
and that all our benevolent operations
received due attention, we are sure that
the meeting of our chief judicatory at St.
Louis in 1866 was one of highest im
portance and value. It will not soon
be forgotten by those were there, and its
influence for good must be felt to the
ends of the earth, and to the last re
corded syllable of time.
ST. Louis, May 23, 1866
4tiods ttt Pattit.
THE EXECUTIVE.
The President has pardoned three of the
Alexandria rioters who kept last ghrisnias
by killing negroes, and who but recently were
sent to the Albany Penitentiary.
Humiliating . .= -A. serenade to the members
of the Cabinet in Washington, May 23, 'gave,
as doubtleSs it was designed to give, an oppor
tunity to those officers to express their views
upon the President's policy. Indeed, it had
much the appearance of a measure designed
to, compel those officials to commit themselves
on the subject. The speech of Secretary
McCulloch, says the Press, was in very bad
taste. Being full of sneers upon Congress
and threats against the - Union party, it of
course gave great pleasure to the 'promiscu
ous crowd of Copperheads and returned
rebels; It was, in fact, in the worst style of
Western stump oratory. In, great contrast
to this harangue was the speech of Secretary
Stanton. Jle read it to avoid misrepresents
tion, and. spoke with great emphasis upon the
cruelties of the rebels. He-laid great stress
upon the loss pf three hundred thousand
Union heroes, and upon the necessity of pre
serving the fruits of the war, and quoted such
passages from the President's message as re
ferred to reconstruction. Congress had de.
dared that loyal men alone should reorganize
the States, and had promised full protection
to the freedmen. His declaration that he
had advised the signing of the Freedmen's
' Bureau bill, and his argument in favor of
the Civil' Rights bill, was received in dead
silence bY the crowd that had boasted they
would smoke him out. His speech, though
very respectful to the President; is regarded
akrather 'an argument ir4favor ot the radical
programine, and ,, even his objection to:the
third section of • the -reconstruction , report
strongly indicated that, in his,opinion, : it did
'not go far enough. Secretary Harlan ken&
SPeed wrote brief and' manly letters;
,declining to make any respon4.

,Senate,;,-rigay,22.--Mr.. Wilson, froth the
Military COMMittee, reported favorably-.upon
the bill for the -equalization of,bounties. , . The
entire amount is estimated at Mout two hun
dred and 'fifty million dollars, although it
is highlYprobable that this _'will be reduced:
The• bill gives •soldier, without .distino
don of-color, a liounty of tight-ad-one- third
n t,
dollars per month for each month of service;
home guards, local troops &c., ar - excepted.
A bill was called up in reference to he public
lands of the Southern States, which provides
that any one may occupy such lauds by pay
ing for them and swearing future allegiance
to the Government. It was passed finally.
The bill to - tionsolidate the National debt, and
to reduce the rate of interest upon it, was called
up, and Mr. Sherman spoke at length in favor
of the measure. The House bill amending the
postal laws was passed.
May 23.—The Reconstruction resolutions
were taken up. Mr. Sumner plead for further
delay, and said he did not think the business
of the Senate was in such a condition as to
warrant the belief that it would adjourn be
fore the latter part of July. He believed
this great question of reconstruction ought to
be reserved as the last serious and. consider
able subjeot of discussion before the adjourn
ment. Mr. Fessenden being too unwell to
speak at length, Mr. Howard took his place
in explaining and defending the Committee's
plan.
At the conclusion , of Mr. Howard's speech,
Mr. Wade offered the folloiviiig as a substi
tute for .the pending pro Position : -
Substitutes.
ARTICLE SECTION I. 'No - State shall
make or enforce_ any law which shall abridge
the• privileges or immunities of citizens of She
United States; nor shall any -State deprive
any person of life, liberty, or. property, with
' out due process of law, nor deny to any per
son within its, jurisdiction the equal protec
tion of the laws.
Suc. 2. No class of persons as to the right
of any of whom to suffrage any discrimination
shall be made shall be included in the basis
of representation, unless such discrimination
be in virtue of impartial qualification founded
on intelligence, or because of alienage, or for
participation in the rebellion or other crimes.
SEC. 3. The public debt of the United
States, including all debts or obligations
which have been or may hereafter be includ
ed in suppressing or in carrying on war in
defence of the Union, ur for payment of
bounties or pensions incident to such war, and
provided by law, shall be inviolate ; but debts

or obligations which have been or may here
after be incurred in aid of insurrection, or of
war against the United States, and claims for
compensation for loss of involuntary or ser
vile labor, shall not be assumed or paid by
any State nor by the United States.
SEC. 4. That Congress shall have power to
conirm, by appropriate legislation, the pro
visions of the article.
:Mr. Wilson offered the following as a sub
stitutute fit the E econd clause of the House
resolution:
" Representatives shall be apportioned
among the several States according to their
respective numbers ; and if in any State the
elective franchise is or shall be denied to any
of its inhabitants being male citizens of the
United States above the age of twenty-one
years, for any cause except insurrection or
rebellion against the United States, the : basis
of representation in such State shall be re
duced in the proportion which the nuMber of
male citizens so excluded shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens over the age
of twenty-one years."
.Ordered to.be printed. -
Mr. Wilson submitted the following sub
stitute for the third section of the House re
solution, which was ordered to be printed :.
"That any person who resigned or abandoned,
or may' resign or abandon any place tinder the
United States Government,' and has taken or
may take part in rebellion against the Go
vernment, shall be ineligible to any office.
under the United States or any State govern
ment." •
Mr. Clark offered the following substitute
for the third section of the House resolution,'
which was ordered'to be printed:
No r . persontshall be a Senator or Represen
tative in Congress, or permitted to hold any
office under the Government of the United
States,-who, having previously taken an oath
to support the Constitution thereof, shall
have aided in any insurrection or rebellion
against the United States, or given aid or
comfort thereto.
Mr. Clark proposed the following as a sub
stitute for the fourth section , of the • House
resolution :
"Debts incurred in aid of rebellion or war
against the United States are illegal and void,
and cannot be enforced in any country, and
shill not be paid by the United States or any
State, mir shall any compensation be made
for the loss or eingricipation , of any, slaves."
May 24.—A resolution was passed that a
select committee inquire into the condition of
the national banks and report to the Senate.
The Reconstruction resolutions were taken up.
Mr. Stewart of Nevada urged universal am
nesty and impartial suffrage as the true
plan.
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, submitted the fol
lowing, which he said expressed his own views
on the subject of reconstruction through he
did not know that he should offer it, as he in
tended to vote for what appeared to be the
strongest, oposition—to strike out the second
and thirdsections of the proposed amendment
and insert in lieu thereof':
Representatives shall be apportioned among
the different States which may be included
within this. Union according to the number
in each State of male citizens of the United
States over twenty-one years of age, qualified
by the laws of that State to choose members
of the most numerous branch of the Legisla
ture, and ineluding such citizens as are dis
qualified for participating in rebellion.
Direct taxes shall be apportioned among the
several States according to the value of real
estate and personal property in each State,
not belonging to the States or to the United
States.

TUE (wry.
George W. Sehleeht, a city passenger
railway conductor, was sentenced to three
years in the Penitentiary recently by Judge
Cadwalader, for passing counterfeit notes and
coin. The court considered the responsible
position held by the prisoner, whieh enabled
him to pass the spurious money, and hence
the severity of the sentence. Austin Keene,
another railway conductor, was committed for
being engaged dealing in counterfeit money.

New Bounty Bill.
FORtIGN.
Tne Financial Panic.—The following is
the address of the Emperor Napoleon to the
Mayor of Auxerre, May 6th. The allusion it
contains to the treaties of 1815, is supposed
to have been a main cause of the panic :
" I see with pleasure that the memory of the
First Empire has not been effaced front your
minds. Believe me, for my own part, I have
inherited the feelings entertained by the
chief of my family for this energetic and pa
triotic population, who sustained the Em
peror in good as in evil fortune. I have a
debt of gratitude to discharge toward Yonne.
This department was the first to give me its
suffrages in 1848, because it knew, with the
majority of the French people,. I
that its inter
ests were my interests, that had detested
equally with them those treaties of 1815,
which it is now sought to make the sole basis
of our foregn policy. I thank you for the
sentiments you have expressed toward me.
Among you, I breathe ficely, for it is among
the working population, both in town and
country, that I find the real genius of
France.". ,
The sentence,' it is said, was not in, the
speech as delivered, but added afterward to
the report.
The following account is given of the ex
citement in London :—" Daring Friday, May
11th; which was tbi day of greatest excite-
ment, the Bank extended. its loans and dis
codas, until the amount exceeded four mil
lioA sterling, or twenty millions of dollars.
The'effect was to reduce the Bank reserve by
Aearly fifteen millions of dollars. This dimi
nution and the prevailing distrust justified
the Government intervention, though the
Times newspaper seemed to think the act a
great stretch of power, deeding very extraor-,
dinary causes to justify it; and that paper
expresses the belief that the reign of terror
was approaching its end, and would have
speedily ceased had no infraction of the bank
law been permitted. It admits, however,
that 'the tumult, became a rout. The doors
of the most respectable banking houses were
besieged, more perhaps by a mob, actuated
by a strange sysmpathy, which makes and
keeps a mob together, than by the creditors
of the banks, and throngs heaving and tum
bling about Lombard street made that nar
row thoroughfare impassable. STA excite
ment on all sides has not been witnessed since
the great crisis of .1825. Each man exagger
ated the suspicions of his neighbor, and until
that time unfounded, was circa
lated in the afternoon, that the Government
had authorized the bank to issue
five millions Additional th - notes, it seemed
as if the fear and distrust of the commercial
world had suddenly become boundless. Th'e
statement was baseless at the time, but served
40411114. the pank-which had no solid founda
dom"-
News to the 17th show that the panic had
abated, but that failures were still. occurring.
The Bank rate of discount was 12 per cent.
England is excited at the bombardment of
Valparaiso, and it had been indignantly al
luded to in both Houses of Parliament, but
the neutral conduct of the English admiral
had been fully endorsed. A.,meeting at Liv
erpool had passed a resolution of thanks to
Commodore Rodgers, for his exertions to pre
vent the destruction of life and property.—
The English ministerial papers profess much
satisfation with the conduct of the United
States Government with reference to the Fe
nia,ns. Financial affairs look better and
American securities are improving. U. S.
five-twenties sold at 66.
Spain and Peru.—Official adviees from
Callao, forwarded per steamer from Panama
to New York, assert,that in the engagement
between the defences of Callao and the Span
ish fleet, the latter were so terribly crippled
as to be unfit for further immediate service.
Indeed, it was doubtful whether some of the
vessels would ever be able to go into action
again. The loss of the Peruvians was from
80 to 100 ; that of the Spaniards is reckoned
'at 300, killed and wounded.
Austria, Prussia, Italy.—. The latest news
was still belligerent:. 'Garibaldi had been ap
pointed commander of volunteers.

IMPORTANCE OF HAVING DAVIS' PAIN

.Wonderful ..-ure of the Rev. D. L. Brayton, Mis
sionary in India, who was stung by a scorpion. Ex
tract from his letter, dated Mergui. June 13, and pub
lished in the Baptist Afierientary Magazine for Deoern
ber,-1849:—" For the first time since I have been hi
India I have been stung by a scorpion. I went out
this morning to my exercises, as usual, at early dawn,
,and bating an occasion to use en old box, on tatting
Toff the cover, I put my hand on a scorpion, which im•
mediately resented the insult by thrusting its sting
into the palm of my hand. The instantaneous and
seeara pain which darted through. my system is quite
indedible: what an awfully • virulent poison their
sting Must contain! I flew to my hottle of 'Davis'
Pain Killer,' and found it to be true to its name. The
relief was almost as sudden as the pain: after a mo
ment's relief, I saturated a small piece of spon ge ,
bound it on my hand, and went about my exercises,
feeling no more particular inconveniences." 10-15-3 t

The author. Rev. George Bowen. grew up in New
York City, a skeptic. bat, "by a remarkable chain of
provi dances." was led to Christ, and has been for eigh
teen years & missionary irk India.
' He. became one of the most earnest and single
hearted Christians we have ever known. The Bible
was his book, and he searched it constantly, prayer
fully. for bidden treasures If he had met you on
Br 'adway, he would stop you a moment to tell of some
new beautY or sweetness he had discovered .in the
Divine word. , Such .a man's meditations are as water
fresh from the ountain. They are deeply spiritual,
and adapted to quicken the faith and love of the
reader."—Herald and Recorder. Cincinnati.
Rev. William R. Williams, D.D., of New York. (Bap
tist), says, "It is a book of rare merit; marked by deep
piety, insight into Scriptures, original genius, and
uncompromising directness. I know of no book of its
class equal to it."

This volume will be welcomed into many stricken
and sorrowing . households. It is composed of judici
ous seloetions from the oboicest literature in our
language. addressed to the desponding and desolate,
who, in times of bereavement, love to linger among
the " graves bf their household." and dwell upon the
state of the departed. The aim of the compiler is to
induce some to make a good and wise use of afflictive
dispensations. to sea the hand of God in them all, and
to feel that "the Judge of all the earth will do sight."
To many sorrowing souls this will be a precious balm.
