THE LAN REVIVALS IN THE CHE MENG PRESBYTERY.—Last winter and spring we had the frequent satisfaction of speaking of God's gracious dealings with the churches of this Presbytery, covering a territory in Southern New York of which Elmira is the focal point. A correspondent of the Evan gelist gives the following table of the accessions by profession ; To the First Presbyterian Church of Elmira, about 125 ; Second Presbyterian Church of Elmira, 85; church at Watkins, 82; Waverly, 58 ; Horse Heads, 58; South port, 40 ; Sugar Hill,• 40 ; Meads Creek, 15.; Tyrone, 30; Big Flats 18—total, 573, and a few additions to some others. A. WELL-CHOSEN SUBJECT.—The Pres bytery of Indianapolis, at its late meet ing in Bethel, devoted an entire after noon to the discussion of Family Reli gion, with a view to an effort to revive a practical interest in that mach neglect ed subject. NEW CHURCHES IN THE WEST. Huntsville, Schuyler Co., Ill.—The Pres bytery Reporter says that an Old School Presbyterian church had existed in Huntsville for about twenty-eight years, but it failed to attract all the elements in the neighborhood which naturally be longed to a Presbyterian church. Hence its stated supply, Rev. Joseph Worrell, of the Presbytery of Schuyler, 0. S., in a Christian and biotherly spirit, advised the organization of a new church, to be connected with the Presbytery of Schuy ler, N. S., and that the old organization should merge itself in the new. Such an organization has been effected, Rev. Isaac T. Whittimore conducting the transaction, and thirty-four members are now enrolled in it, under the name of the First Presbyterian Church of Hunts ville. They are now enjoying the min istry of Rev. E. L. Hard. America, Ill.—A church, small in its beginning but with a field for growth, has been or ganized in America,, a town with an •ambitious name, a few miles out from Cairo. Nokomis, 111. —A church was organized in this place last June, with ten constituent members. It now hum bers forty-four, and has commenced the erection of a new house of worship. Newburg, Ill.—A new church of eigh teen members was organized in this place on Sabbath, August 12th., ANOTHER MINISTER GONE.—We have this week to record the death . of Rev. Robert R. Kellogg, a minister connected with the Presbytery of Hudson, and for some time past the stated supply of the church in Milford, Pike Co., Pa. He died in Milford, on Tuesday of last week, after a short illness, from congestion of the %rain. He was in the prime of his ac tivity and usefulness, both of which 'qualities have, from the first, been points in his ministerial character. He was truly devoted to his work, and was, withal, pleasant and genial among his parishioners, and in the society of his brethren. He was, for several years, 'the pastor of the Port Street Church in Detroit, and was a member of our last General Assembly. We saw him there lively and watchful; it is hard,to realize that the time has so soon come when the places that knew him shall know him no more. A long and rich necro logical list is being rolled up for our next annual tables. These are myste rious providences, but they forbode no disaster. It is. only the men that die— the everlasting Gospel lives. 4ite #$ ato :1 - 11 : ivro Ail 414 -, : 3 / 4 1 - 1113 , 4 *NG 11 Cll.l Where the heart of our soldiers truly is, may be inferred from the contrast between the utterly lame affair at Cleveland, where a few Johnsonized office holders and office ex expeetants exchanged greetings with the in famous author of the Fort Pillow massacre, .and the perfectly overwhelming demonstration .of the loyal element in the army at Pitts burgh last week, where from 15.000 to 20,000 -soldiers were in attendance. It is believed to be the largest Convention ever held in the country. The city itself was aillaze with •enlhusiasm, exceeding even that potLred forth in'honor of the Southern Loyalists in Phila -delphia. Private dwellings and business houses throughout the city were gaily decor ated with flags, banners and other patriotic emblems. In fact, the only exceptions to tht general rule were the Federal offices. The -Post-office, Custom-house, and the offices of -the United States Marshal and Assessor of Internal Revenue were bare. No flags or other signs of welcome to the soldier hung from their walls. Many citizens kept open house during the session of the Convention, and arranged to quarter a certain number of delegates. Monday night seems to have passed with out much sleep, as distinguished men and delegations continued to arrive and were re 'ceived by rejoicing crowds. At midnight, 'Generals Geary and Butler arrived, and were received at the depot by a large crowd and escorted to the City Hall, which, even at that late hour, was densely packed. Speeches were made by Generals Geary, Butler Schenck of o*, Ron. Simon Camertm, and others. Soon afterivard another large meet ing was held in the rotunda of the Mononga hela House,' where addresses were made by Gen. Geary, Judge Shannon, of Pittsburgh, and others. All night, and until almost day light, the streets were filled with people, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. On Tuesday morning, the City Hall was thronged at an early hour in expectation of the opening of the Convention. A choir of two hundred ladies sang patriotic airs. It was with great difficulty that room was made for the thousands of delegates, only a small part of whom, in fact, were able to enter the Hall. The Wisconsin delegation brought the celebrated eagle "Old Abe," - which, by ecial vote, was admitted to the platform. special Dudley, of the 16th Massachusetts, who had resigned an office in the Treasury because the Secretary had refused him per mission to come, on an old and unused leave, to the Convention, was made temporary chairman. The choir sang Old Hundred, and prayer was offered by Chanlain Granville Moody. General Cox, of Offio, was made permanent chairman. • • The following resollition, offered by. Gen. Collis, of Philadelphia, was referred to a committee : Whereas Andrew Johnson, in a recent speech at ' Washington, doclared that he could make use of the army and navy, of the United States to assist in making him Dictator— Resolved, That when he used that language, he insulted every soldier and patriot of the Re public, and we desire him to understand that the patriots of this Government cannot be used to strike a blow at civil liberty or popular government. The Convention soon afterward adjourned. In the evening, a procession was formed. Pittsburgh despatches say :—To-night Pitts burgh and Alleghany city are in a perfect blaze of light and .present the most magnifi cent sight ever witnessed here, and seldom, if ever, surpassed elsewhere. The Chinese lanterns, which had been seen hung from al most every public building and private house, and across the streets and by-ways, were lighted up, and in a few moments hundreds of thousands of lights were visible through out the city. Many of the buildings were illuminated with candles, and the windows of others were covered with red, white and blue paper, which, with the light shining, made a fine effect. The loyal newspaper offices were de corated and illuminated, the Gazette being especially noticeable. The Monongahela House was literally covered with tri-colored lanterns, and in front, in jets of gas, were the words ' Geary and Congress. We sup port Grant, Geary and the Union army..." The court-house was put in proper trim by Sheriff Stewart, one of the members of the State Central Committee, and from cupola to base, nearly one thousand lanterns were distributed ; the jail was also covered with lanterns. Fireworks were discharged throughout the line, and red and blue lights illuminated the streets. The procession marched four abreast and occupied about two hours in passing a given point, and every street was thronged with spectators. To add to the appearance, the school-houses were also illuminated, and from nearly every win dow, door-step and pavement, ladies waved their handkerchiefs to the passing patriots. The procession was miles in length, and every officer in command and on staffs was in his army uniform. The firemen turned out largely, uniformed and drawing appara tus gaily decorated ; while butchers, carters and draymen looked splendidly. The correspondent of the New York Tri bune says of the delegates :—"A great por tion were maimed veterans, some without an arm, others without a leg, and others with Scars of all descriptions. One delegate from Ohio, Private Samuel 11. Decker ' had both his arms shot off at the battle of Perryville, Ky. He was invited to a seat on the plat form, and was received with great applause. The Pennsylvania delegation alone has some fifteen or twenty soldiers on crutches." On Wednesday a series of Resolutions was, introduced by Gen. Butler, 'Chairman of the Committee, approving of the Constitutional Amendment, as offering the mildest terms ever granted to subdued rebeU: denouncing the course'of the President in opposing Con gress, and asserting the right of the latter to, make terms ; favoring a change of the neu trality laws, and demanding that effective service in the field should be the test of merit and promotion in the regular army and navy. Two of the resolutions were as fol lows: Resolved, That when the President claims that by the:aid of the army and navy he might have made himself Dictator, he insulted every soldier and sailor in the Republic. He ought distinctly to understand that the tried patriots of this nation can never be used to overthrow civil liberty or popular g , overnment. Resolved, That the Union men of the South without, distinction of race or - color, are en titled to the gratitude of every loyal soldier and sailor who served his country in suppressing the Rebellion, and that in their present dark hours of trial, when they are persecuted by thousands, solely because— they are now- and have been true to the Government, we will not prove recreant to our obligations, but will stand by and protect with our lives, ifnecessary, those brave men who remain true to us when all around are false and faithless. It was also voted that a Soldiers' and Sai lors' Union be formed to promote the great principles for which the war has been waged. And so, after songs and speeches and inde scribable demonstrations of enthusiasm, such as perhaps only volunteer American soldiers of liberty, alone of all the world are capable of exhibiting, the Convention adjourned the same day. THE STATES New York.—Lindsey, the preacher, who whipped his child to death, has been indicted for murder in Orleans county, N. Y. New Jersey. —The State Temperance Convention met at Trenton, Sept. 26. A storm was prevailing and the attendance was small. Hon. Martin Ryerson presided. Ron. Aug. L. Richey was chosen President for the ensuing year. A resolution favoring the election of prohibitionists to the Legislature passed. Connecticut.—Recent town elections show large Republican majorities and gains. Dist. Columbm.—A colored citizen of Pennsylvania made application Oct. 1, to be admitted to practice at the Criminal Court of the District.

This is the first application of a colored man to be admitted to the bar of our District Courts. Georgia.—The functions of the county court of Burke county, have been declared suspended by Judge Perry, in consequence of the arrest of the sheriff by the military while executing the process of said court. Texas.—Major Howell, commanding the Union forces at Jefferson, Texas, reports that two soldiers of the 65th Colored Infantry were killed by Jack Phillips, Deputy-Marshal at Jefferson. The murdered men were the victims of blind, revengeful passion. Phil. lips is at large ' but a warrant for his arrest has been issued by the civil authorities. Oregon.—H. W. Corbett, Republican, has been elected U. S. Senator. THE CITY. Charles Gibbons, Esq., has accepted the Republican nomination to Congress from the First District in this city. This is another of those nominations, eminently fit to be made, now happily so much more numerous than formerly. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1866. Gen. Grant has written a letter in refer ence to an assertion made by a Johnson polit ical speaker, that the General fully endorsed the President's policy. Gen. Grant says no man living is authorized to speak for him in political matters. He wishes every one to vote according to his own judgment without influence from him. • Expenses of the President's Late Tour, —The Tribune ' s Washington correspondent says :—The fact has leaked out that the late Presidential excursion has completely bank rupted the finances of the Johnson National Union Club, leaving it $30,000 in debt. It is known here that the treasuirof the club was bankrupt before the party lert Phila delphia, and the drafts given for bills con tracted there could not be paid on presenta tion. One member of the Cabinet alone ran up a bill at the Continental of $7OO. Financial.—The amount of gold in the Treasury at the close of business, September 29th, was $83,000,000, included in which, were certificates to the value of thirty mil lions.—The steamship Tentonia sailed from Southampton, September 26th, fok New York, with 2,000,000 francs in gold.

Still gold keeps pretty well up. An Eclipse of the Snn.—On _Monday, October Bth, there will be a paitial eclipse of the sun, which, however, cannot be seen in this part of the United States, but will be' visible in New England. It occur in the morning, at the time of new moon,land will be the last eclipse of the sun visible in the United States until August 7th, 186,t1 The Eight Religious Notices lin Satur day's Press are thus distributed: Three are Moravian, one " First Congregational," two Swede'nborgian, one Spiritualist, land one a Methodist business notice.

Letters dated from Colima, Sept. 14, say no thing of the capture by the Liberals of the Gaudalaiara San Luis or Durango. He has despatches also from Acapulco dated Sept. 15, which say that the Imperialists surprised Gen. Diaz in an engagement near Ojaca City, together with most of his officers and a large number of men. The Mexican Republican[?] Consul at the same port has received letters from Chihuahua dated August 20, giving official notice that the Republics:l2s had occu pied Monterey and Saltillo ; that the Liberals in an action 25 leagues from Durango had defeated the traitors and captured the city of Nazas;and that the French had abandoned Durango, which the Liberals have probably occupied. Later advices confirm the French evacuation of Sonora. When the,lmperial ists left Guaymas they took away the Ameri can bark Francis Palmer, which had been . seized on a charge of loading guapo without license, and it is stated that the U . : S. steamer Saranac was going in pursuit of the bark.
