Methodist—The powerful revival that has been progressing in Thirty-seventh Street Methodist Episcopal Church, New York, for nearly a year, continues with unabated inter est and force. It has gained new strength by the Sing Sing camp meeting, where this church engaged earnestly and successfully in the work of soul saving, their tents being the scene of repeated and wonderful out pourings of the Holy Spirit. —The Rich mond Advocate, of August 30th, publishes accounts of several revivals of religion in the Virginia Methodist Churches. One account states that on the Norfolk district there have been "nearly five hundred conversions" within the last three months.—Rev. T. E.

Episcopal—Five Episcopal churches in Massachusetts have contributed for religious purposes during the year, ending May, 1866,, $1tii,617,26. Four of them are situated in Boston and one in Brookline.--Mr. Henry P. Cooke, of Georgetown, D. C. brother and partner of the banker, Jay Coolie, is building a substantial and tasteful gothic chapel for an Episcopal mission church in that city.— Mr. Becket, of Bordentown, N.

A spirit of earnest devotion characterizes the new members, which is being diffused through the entire Church. Luler the auspices of their young people's association, three mission Sunday-schools and one extra prayer-meeting are sustained. Lutheran.—We have before noticed the Istthdrawal of a portion of the Lutheran Church of this country from the General '.3.nod, and the preliminary steps taken toward the formation of a rival national or ganization. It now appears that there are to be three Lutheran bodies, bearing the name of a national organization. The last makes its appearance in the South, and was created by a convention recently held in North Caro- Ilea, consisting of twelve ministers and four laymen, representing five Synods. It takes the name of The .Evangelical Lutheran Gene -11,1 Sipot of North. America, a name just about as appropriate as that of the General :Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the heated States of America, for the body which meets next month in Memphis. —The synod of Wittenberg, Ohio, recently struck from its roll the name of Rev., W. C. Barnet, for the offence of heading reschism consisting of the minority of the church from which he had been dismissed, and persisting in minis tering to it against the advice of the Synod. German Reformed.—The German Re formal Messenger says :—One of the most urgent wants of the Church just now is min ''lers. A proof of this may be found in the fact, that the last class of graduates from the Seminary have so soon been engaged in fields labor. We believe they have all taken 'uarges, or are about to do so, but one, whose health needs to be recruited after his long Nurse of study, This is encouraging. The v 4 tition has but just closed, and they are al reads in the field. Another fact is that there are still so many vacant charges. East and \\ est the demand is the same. The field is Rqite unto harvest, and only waits for labor •• This is also an encouragement to those are looking forward to the ministry.— The same paper says that the statistical re !Nift,, of its Church for the last year show a l'tal of 472 ministers, and 5173 additions by ! 90 firniation, being an average of a fraction than eleven for each minister.

University for the lndians.—The Ottawas, a tribe of partially civilized Indians, are erecting. a university for the education of Indians in Kansas. Their Chief, John Jones, is a thoroughly educated man, and is the leader in the enterprise, and associated with him are several other - gentlemen, including Rev. Mr. Hutchinson; the Governtnent In dian agent for the Ottawas. By a treaty consummated two, or three years since, the Ottawas gave twenty thousand acres of land from the centre of their rich reservation for the establishment of this University. Six hundred and forty acres .of it are to be de voted to a farm connected with the institu tion, and are inalienable. The children of the Ottawas, no matter whatever part of the country they may have removed to, are to be perpetually entitled to education in the Uni versity. Its advantages are also to be extend ed to the other tribes of the West who may wish io enjoy them. Revival among Freedmen.—The Farm vile, Va., Journal, states that an intense religious excitement was recently prevailing among the colored people of that neighbor hood. "Nothing like it," says the Journal, " has ever been witnessed in this community before. Meetings are held nightly, lasting frequently almost the entire night, which are attended by immense crowds, and converts are numbered by hundreds. In almost every direction, one hears praying and singing." Christian Union. —We understand that arrangements are being made for the delivery of a series of discourses on Christian Union, on Sabbath evenings, in the city of Newark, N. J. All the evangelical denominations are represented in the scheme. The first of the series is to be preached on Sabbath evening next, by the Rev. Dr. Craven, in the Market Street Methodist Church. ther places are likely to organize and sustain a similar series, for everywhere Christian people are showing their wish to find and hold a common ground to be maintained against common enemies.— Christian?. intellioencer. Foreign.—A Christian and Courageous Service. —On Sabbath, the 19th ult., the Bishop of Londcin, accompanied by his wife, spent the whole afternoon and evening among the cholera patients of the East End of London, visiting them at their homes and in the hospitals, giving counsel and comfort. He afterwards preached to a dense mass of people, in the very centre of the cholera dis trict, from the text, "We know if this earthly house," &c. The London Ragged School Union, organ ized in 1844, has now in connection with it 326 Sunday-schools with 26,000 scholars ave erage attendance; 204 day-schools, 18,750 average attendance ; and 217 evening-schools, with an average attendance of 8284. Days of Refreshing in Scotland—The Arndilly lifeetings.—These meetings, in the neighborhood of Elgin, in the north of Scot land, have wonderfully manifested the grace of a prayer-hearing God, for whilst up to the moment of our commencement, and in all the regions around, during the very time of the meeting, rain was deluging the country, our Lord made the clouds our umbrella, that even "the sun did not smite us by day," and the general atmosphere was most delight ful, whilst a few drops of rain once or twice fell to rebuke the umbrella-bearers. Many cases were witnessed - of very deep conviction; in one house, on the first night of the meet ing, all the children were brought to express faith in Jesus after a service of praying and weeping, reminding one of the blessed times in 1859-60. Remarkable power accompanied the word, especiall through Mr. Brownlow North and Rev: David Fraser, though all were wonderfully helped of God. The open meeting for prayer, in which many engaged, was very refreshing, and the large tent, I am told, was a scene of blessed power of the Spirit, in the hearts of the young especially ; young converts being fervently engaged in praying with them, and pointing them to the Lamb of God. Much love and tenderness of spirit was generally felt amongst Christians, and even along the railway, on their return, the old hymn-singing spirit awakened the echoes, till people were all asking one of another, " What is this?" The effect of these meetings is extending to other places, and we are told of coming meetings in Inver ness, Elgin, and Bridge of Boner. I did not notice a single person unaffected or careless during the Arndilly meetings. An old vete ran of Havelock's Jellalabad illustrious garri son was sitting in rapt attention with his family, and was much affected at hearing the truths of religion pressed on him by one who had been acquainted with his old Indian comrades, and with scenes of warfare a quar ter of a century ago. Some of the incidents were very touching in the personal dealings with individuals, and. it seemed to those most experienced in the work that a third day would have brought things to a crisis beyond calculation.—lhe Revival, August 28. THE APPEAL OF THE LOYAL MEN OF THE SOUTH 4 UULLLd...yMl>.=l=g,..ti.UjilaailllQ:a UNITED STATES. The representatives of eight millions of American citizens appeal .for protection and justice to their friends and brothers in the States that have been spared the crtielties of rebellion, and the direct horrors of civil war. Here on the spot where freedom was proff ered and pledged by the fathers of the Re public, we implore your help against a reor ganized oppression, whose sole object is to remit the control of our destinies to the con trivers of the rebellion after they have been vanquished in honorable battle—thus at once to- punish us for our devotion to our country, and to intrench themselves in the official for tifications of the Government. Others have related the thrilling story of our wrongs from reading and observation. We come before you'as unchallenged witness es, and speak from personal knowledge our sad experience. If you fail us, we are more utterly deserted and betrayed than if the con test of arms had been decided against us ; for in that case even victorious- slavery would have found profit in the speedy pardon of those who h,,ad been among its bravest foes. Unexpected perfidy in the highest place of the Government, accidentally filled' by one who adds cruelty to ingratitude, and forgives the guilty as he proscribes the innocent, has stimulated the almost extinguished revenge of the beaten conspirators; and now the rebels who offered to yield everything to save their own lives, are seeking to consign us to bloody graves. Where we expected a benefactor we find a persecutor. Having lost our champion, we return to you, who can make Presidents and' punish traitors. Our last hope, under God, is in the unity and firmness of the States that elected Abra ham Lincoln and defeated Jefferson Davis. The best statement of our case is the ap palling, yet unconscious confession of Andrew Johnson, who, in savage hatred of his own rec ord, proclaims his purpose to clothe four millions traitors with the power to impover ish and degrade eight millions of loyal men. Our wrongs bear alike upon all races, and our tyrants, unchecked by you, will award the same fate to, hite and black. We can remain as we are only as inferiors and victims. We may fly from our homes ; but we should fear to trust our fate with those who, after denouncing and defeating treason, refused to right those who had bravely assisted them in the good work. Till we are wholly rescued there is neither pea6o for you nor prosperity for us. We cannot better at once define our wrongs and our wants than by declaring that, since Andrew Johnson affiliated with his early slanderers and our constant enemies, his hand has been laid heavily upon every earnest loyalist in the South. History, the just judgment of the present, and the certain cou firmation of the future, invite and command us to declare:That after rejecting his own remedies for restoring the Union; he has resorted to the weapons of traitors to bruise and beat down patriots. That after declaring that none but the loyal should govern the, reconstructed States, he has practiced upon the maxim that none but traitors shall rule. That, while in the North he has removed conscientious men from office and filled many of the vacancies with the sympathizers of treason, in the South he has removed the proved and trusted patriot, and selected the equally proved and convicted traitor. That, after brave men whe had fought for the old flag have been nominated for positions, their names have been recalled and avowed rebels substituted. That every original Unionist in the South who stands fast to Andrew Johnson's cove nants from 1861 to 1865 has been ostracised. That he has corrupted the local courtkby offering premiums for defiance to the laws of Congress, and by openly discouraging the ob servance of the oath against treason. That, while refusing to punish one single conspicuous traitor, though thousands had earned the penal of death, more than .a thousand devoted Union citizens have been murdered in cold blood since the surrender of Lee, and in no case have their assassins been brought to judgment. That he has pardoned some of the worst of the rebel criminals, North and South, includ ing some who have taken human •life under circumstances of unparalleled atrocity. That while denouncing and fettering the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau, he, with a full knowledge Of the falsehood, has charged that the black men are lazy and re bellious, and has concealed the fact that more whites than blacks have been protected and fed by that noble organization; and that, while declaring that it was corruptly managed and expensive to the Government, he has connived at a system of profligacy ire the use of the public patronage and the public money wholly without a parallel, save when the traitors bankrupted the Treasury, and sought to disorganize and scatter the army and navy only to make' it more easy to capture and destroy the Government. That, while declaring against the injustice of leaving eleven States unrepresented, he has refused to authorize the liberal plan of Congress, simply because it recognizes the loyal majority, and refuses to ,perpetuate the traitor minority. _ That in every State south of Mason and Dixon's line, his " policy" has wrought the most deplorable consequences, social, moral; and political. " It has emboldened returned rebels to threaten civil war in Maryland, Missouri, West Virginia and Tennessee, unless the patriots who saved and sealed these States to the old flag surrender before their arrogant demands. It has corrupted high State officials, elect ed by Union men, and sworn to enforce the laws against returned rebels, and made them the mere instruments of the authors of the., rebellion. It has encouraged a new alienation between the sections, and, ,)y impeding emigration to the South, has erected formidable barriers against free and friendly intercourse with our countrymen in the North and the West. It has allowed the rebel soldiery to perse cute the teachers of the colored schools, and to burn the churches in which the freedmen have worshipped the living God. That a system so barbarous should have culminated in the frighful riot of Memphis, and the still more appalling massacre at .New Orleans, was as natural as that a bloody war should flow from the teachings of John C. Calhoun and Jefferson. Davis: Andrew Johnson is responsible for all these unspeakable crimes and cruelties. As he provoked, so he justifies and applauds them. Sending his agents and emissaries into this refined and patriotic metropolis, to insist upon making his reckless policy a test upon a Christian people, he forgot that the protec tion extended to the 14th of August Conven tion in Philadelphia was not only denied to the free people of New Orleans on the 30th of July, when they assembled to discuss how best to protect themselves, but denied amidst the slaughter of hundreds of innocent men. No page in the record of his recent outrages upon humane justice and constitutional law is more revolting than that which convicts him of refusing to arrest the preparations for that savage carnival, and not only of refusing to punish its authors, but of toiling to throw the guilty responsibility upon the unoffend ing and innocent freedmen. The infatuated tyrant that stood ready to crush his own people in Tennessee, when they were struggling to maintain a govern ment erected by himself against his and their traitor persecutors, was even more eager to illustrate his savage policy by clothing with the most despotic power the impenitent and revengeful rebels of New Orleans. Notwithstanding this heartless desertion and cruel persecution by Andrew Johnson in the States of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, De mocratic Republican principles—principles which the fathers of the Republic designed for all America—are now making determined battle with the oligarchical enemies of free constitutional government ; and by the bless ing of God these States will soon range them selves in line with the former free States, and illustrate the wisdom and beneficence of the charter of American liberty by their in creasing population, wealth and prosperity. In the remaining ten States, the seeds of oligarchy planted in the Constitution by its. slavery features have grown to be a mon strous power. Recognition thus wrung from the reluctant framers of that great instru meat, enabled these States to intrench them selves behind the perverted doctrine of State rights, and sheltered by a claim of constitu tional obligation to maintain slavery in the states, presented to the American Govern ment the alteinatives of oligarchy with slavery, or democratic Republican Govern ments without slavery. A forbearing Government, bowing to a supposed constitutional behest, acquiesced in the former alternative. The hand of the Government was stayed for eighty years. The principles of constitu tional liberty languished for want of govern mental support. Oligarchy matured its power, with subtle design. Its history for eighty years is replete with unparalleled "injuries and usurpations." It developed only the agricultural localitiet--geographically distinct from the free labor localities, and less than one-third the whole—with African slaves. It held four millions of human beings as `chattels, yet made them the basis of unjust representative power for themselves in Fede ral and State Governments to maintain their enslavement It excluded millions of free white laborers from the richest agricultural lands of the world, forced them to remain inactive and unproductive, on the mineral, manufacturing and lumber localities, comprising two-thirds of the whole. South in square miles, and real undeveloped wealth, simply because these localities were agriculturally too poor for slave labor, condemned them to agriculture, on this un agricultural territory, and consigned them to unwilling ignorance and poverty, by deny ing capital and strangling enterprise. It repelled the capital, energy, will and . s kill• of the free 'States from the free-labor localities by unmitigated intolerance and pro scription, thus guarding the approaches to their slave domain against:Democracy. Statute books groaned under despotic laws a g ainst unlawful and insurrectionary assem blies ; aimed at the constitutional , guarantece of the right to peaceably assemble and peti tion for redress of grievances. - It proscribed democratic literature as in cendiary. It nullified the constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press. It deprived citizens' of the - other States of the "privileges and immunities" in these States, an injury and usurpation alike unjust to Northern citizens and destructive of the best interests of the States themselves. Alarmed at the progresa - of democracy, in the face , of every discouragement, at last it sought immunity by secession and war. The heart sickens with the contemplation of the four years that followed—forced loans, impressment& conscriptions, with bloodhound and bayonet, murder of aged Union men, who had long since laid aside the implements of labor, but hail been summoned anew to the "field by the conscription of their sons,•to sup port children and grandchildren, reduced from comfort to the verge of starvation ; the slaughter of noble youths, types of physical manhoOd, forced into an unholy war with those with whom they were identified by' every interest ; long months of incarceration in rebel bastiles, banishment from homes and hearth-stones are but a partial recital of the long catalogue of horrors. But!dernocracy, North and South combined, defeated them. They lost. What did they lose ? , The cause of oligarchy ? They lost African slavery by name only. Soon as the tocsin of war, ceased,soon as the clang of arms was hushed, they raise the cry of " immedi nte admission;!' and with that watchword seek to organize under new forms a contest tOperpetuate their unbridled sway. They rehabilitate their sweeping control of all local and State organization& The Fede ral Executive easily seduced, yields a willing ohediepce to his old masters. Aided by his unscrupulous disregard of Constitution and la*s, by his merciless proscription of true .democratic opinion, and by all his appliances of despotic power, they now defiantly enter the lists in the loyal North, and seek to wring from freemen an indorsement of their wicked design. Every foul agency is at work to accomplish this result. Falsely professing to assent to the abolition of slavery, they are contriving to continue its detestable power by legislative acts against pretended vagrants. They know that any form of servitude will answer their unholy purpose. They pronounce the four years' war a brilliant sword scene in the great revolutionary drama. Proscriptive public sentiment holds high carnival, and, profiting by the example of the Presidential pilgrim, breathes out threaten ings and slaughters against loyalty, ignores and denounces all legal restraints, and assails with the tongue of malignant slander the constitutionally chosen representatives of the people. .To still the voice of liberty—dangerous alone to tyrants—midnight conflagrations, assassinations and murders in open day, are called to their aid. A reign of terror through all these ten States makes loyalty stand silent in the presence of treason, or whisper in bated breath. Strong men hesitate openly to speak for liberty, and decline to attend a Convention at Philadelphia for fear of de struction. But all Southern men are not - yet awed into submission to treason ; and we have assem bled from all these States, determined that liberty when endangered shall find a mouth piece, and that "the Government of the peo ple, by the people, for thepeople, shall not perish from the earth." We are here to consult together how best to provide for a Union of truly Republican States ; to seek to resume thirty-six stars on the old flag. We are here to ,see that ten of these stars are not opaque bodies paling their ineffectual fires beneath the gloom and darkness of oli garchical tyranny and oppression. We wish them to be brilliant stars ; emblems of con stitutional liberty; glittering ones sparkling with the life-giving principles of the model Republic I—fitting adornments of the glorious banner of freedom. Qur last and only hope is in the unity and fortitude of the loyal people of America in the support and vindication of the Thirty ninth Congress, and in the election of a con trolling Union majority in the succeeding or Fortieth Congress. - While the new article amending the Na tional Constitution offers the most liberal conditions to the authors of the rebellion, and does not come up to the measure of our ex pectations, we believe its ratification would be the commencement of a complete and last ing protection to all our people ; and there fore we accept it as the best present remedy, and appeal to our brothers and friends in the North and West to make it their watchword in the coming election. The tokens are auspicious of-overwhelming success. However little the verdict of the ballot-box may affect the reckless man in the Presidential chait, we cannot doubt that the traitors and sympathizers he has encouraged will recognize the verdict, as the surest indi cation that the mighty power which crushed then rebellionis still alive, and, that those who attempted to oppose or defy it will do so at the risk of their own destruction. • Our confidence in the overruling providence of God prompts the prediction and intensifies the belief that when this warning is suffi ciently taught to those misguiaed and reck less men, the liberated millions of the rebel lions South will be proffered those rights and franchises which may be necessary to adjust and settle this mighty controversy in the spirit of the most enlarged and Christian philanthropy.

Gratified by the high appreciation of their Cabinet Organs, and the very wide demand for them through out the country , and increasing demand in Europe, MASON dt HAMLIN have been stimulated in their efforts to secure THE HIGHEST EXCELLENCE IN EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THEIR WORK, and to GREATLY INCREASE THEIR FACILITIES FOR MANUFACTURE. They are now completing a large, new building, forming an important addition to their manufactory, and rendering it much the largest of its class in the wertri, and giving them, with the aid of new machinery, facilities for producing the best possible quality of work in such quantity as will enable them hereafter, they trust, to supply fully the demand for their instruments. They respectfully announce the introduction of SEVERAL NEW STYLES OF CABINET ORGANS, rendering the variety very complete, and adapted to different tastes and uses as for the drawing-room, library. Publi c hall. c hurch, school-room, lodge, &c., and to the require ments of ,those who desire any degree of ornament. from the plainest to the most elaborate cases. The rapidly increasing use of these instruments in draw ing-rooms, has especdally encouraged the manufacture of a variety of very elegant styles, which will compare favorably in beauty of design and finish with any pieces of furniture produced in the country. It has always been the inflexible purpose of MASON Jr HAMLIN to secure the VERY BEST qualities of material anti workmanship, and the nearest approach to perfection possible in every department of their work, never allowing any sacrifice of excellence to economy of manufacture. They have also been earnest in their efforts for improvement, by unremit ting experiments at their own factory, and a liberal policy in securing the use of all improvements in this class of instruments effected elsewhere. The public are assured that no effort will be spared to maintain the extraordinary excellence of the MASON & HAM LIN Cabinet Organs, and to render them more than ever worthy the reputation they have obtained as THE BEST INSTRUMENTS OF THEIR CLASS IN THE WORLD. As evidence of the character and standing of the in strnments of their make, MASON &HAMLIN have the gratification of referring to the fact that within a few years they have been awarded FIFTY-TWO GOLD OR SILVER MEDALS, or other highest pre miums, for substantial improvements effected by them, and for the superiority of their Cabinet Organs to all other instruments of the class. Their instru ments have also been honored with an amount and degree of approval from the musical profession alto gether unprecedented. A large majority of the most eminent organists, pianists, composers, directors and teachers in the country, have given public testimony to their high appreciation of the improvements effect ed by MASON & HAMLIN, and to the marked supe riority of their Cabinet Organs to all other instru ments of this general class. As loose statements are often made by numnfacturers respecting such matters, MASON & HAMLIN invite attention to their circu lars, containing the testimony in full. They also earn estly solicit the most critical examination and compari son of their Cabinet Organs. The most intelligent and searching these may be, the more confidence they will have in the result. They invite attention espe cially to the CHARACTER AND QUALITIES OF TONE in their Organs, which DIFFER MATERI AL LY from those of any other reed instruments. NEW SERIES OF ORGAIS The Mason & Hamlin Portable Organs. In order-to meet the demand for low-priced instru ments, MASON & HAMLIN have commenced the manufacture of a new series of Organs, the design of which is to furnish really good instruments in the most economical form, and at the lowest prices poisi hie. They are smaller in size, and more compact than the Cabinet Organs, and hence will be known as THE MASON 1k HAMLIN PORTABLE ORGANS. The cases, which are all of walnut, are very plainlYi though neatly and tastefully finished; and in various details, such as ivory keys, pedal coverings, musics desks, hinges, /cc.. Ace., not affecting the practical ttoe /Pam or durability of the instrannta, leas expensive materials and workmanship are employed than in the Cabinet Organs. This economy of manufacture is not, however, allowed to extend to the working parts of the instruments, which are all made with that scrupulous care and thoroughness for which the Ma son A-litunlin Cabinet Organs are celebrated. It should. be observed that the principles upon which the MASON & BAMLIN PORTABLE OR GANS are made are just the reverse of those which are generally adopted in the manufacture of low priced instruments. The plan commonly is to make as much show as possible in externals, and to slight the interior parts of the instrument, which are not seen. In the Portable Organs it is chiefly upon the externals—upon those parts which are seen, and which are not essential to the musical capacity of the in strument- that the saving is effected, and not upon the more important interior. In that liquid purity and smoothness of tone by which thellason Jr Hamlin Cabinet Organs are dis tinguished, and for which they have become so cele brated, and in some other respects, the Portable Or gans cannot claim to be fully equal to them. The nece salty for adopting different and smaller cases, ows, &c., renders the attainment of this impossi ble. Yet it is confidently believed that in quality of ;ones the Portable Organs approach nearer to the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs than do any other reed instruments. In power, quickness of action. and other excellences, they are worthy of highest Praise. Each one is furnished with the Automatic B ellows Swell, two Blow Pedals, Combination Valves, and such other of the patented improvements of Mason & Thmilin as are applicable to them.
