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

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

Indian Church at Miami.—lt is rej)orted
from the Church in Mount Holly, N. J., that
the past has been a year of unusual prosperity.
One hundred and sixty-two have been added
by baptism, and twenty-eight by letter or
experience. 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,

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.—

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

The London Ragged School Union, organ

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.
