them, also, that when they make arrests of ci- .
vilians upon any grounds whatever, they shall

Dec. 18. London. -- The President's
message has reached here by steamer, and
is published in full. It id the general topic
of conversation, and is variously commented
upon by the press. Its statement in regard
to the finances of the United States is very
well, but what it says in regard to the Feni
ans is considered as rather weak and tame.
—The Renter News Company of London,.
corresponding in design to the Associated
Press of America, has formed an alliance
with the United States Associated Press Tel
egraphic Line, D. H. Craig, President. This.
latter concern is a rival of the New York
Associated Press.

Prosecution.

of which, by the United States Consul Masrh,
was rejected by our Government]

King of Italy at the opening of the Italian

island is tranquil. Confidence has returned

tinent that the French authorities in Mexico
have seized the baggage of the pseudo Em
peror Maximilian, which had been taken tb
Vera Cruz. It was alleged that among this
baggage were secreted a number of private
letters which had a tendency to compromise
the Emperor Napoleon with the United
States Government. Maximilian haughtily
refused to give up the letters, when they
were taken possession of, as above stated,
and he himself held as a prisoner.—Advices
from Candia state that fighting still con
tinues there, and that the Turks had strength
ened their blockading fleet around the island.
Alexandria, Egypt. —Surett was yesterday

peevish frame of mind, and little disposed to

ration and appease Italy. France supports
the efforts of Italy, which have as yet been
of no avail.

Paraguayans, with ten battalions of infantry,
supported by cavalry and artillery, during a
heavy rain and dense fog, assaulted the same
position which they lost on the 18th of July,
but were repulsed, leaving 500 dead on the
field. As the Brazilians were well priStected by
their:defenoes,
_their losses weretoomparatively
small. The United 'States gunboat Shamo

Sherman's and Campbell's mission to Mexi
co is that a definite plan of action has been
agreed upon between the. United States and
the Mexican President, after the withdrawal
of the French troops on the Ist of March,
when, if fragment -of Imperial power re-.
mains in '`Mexico, the United States will
march troops over the Rio Grande b support
Juarez.
Scientilid.--Dr. Livingstone, the African
explorer, at last accounts was moving up the
river Ravenna, on the east coast of Africa,
intending to visit the unknown northern'ex
tremity of Lake Nyanza. The latest ad
vices received from him are to May 18. His
progress was slow, as the Ravenna it flanked
on both sides by a chain of hills from 400 to
600 feet high, covered with dense entangled
jungle.—An enormous aerolite, weighing
nearly 1800 •
_ounds, which was found in
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN: TiltrnsDAY, DECEMPIER qt, 1866.
Mexico by Marshal Bazaine, is •to be shown

afterward be presented to the Paris Museum
of Natural Histury.—A microscope has
lately been completed in England, with
double the power of any similar,instrument
previously constructed. It magnifies 15,000
diameters.
Items.—New Coins.—. Why They are De
based. —The U. S. Gazette having noticed a
complaint of the low value of the recent, one,
two, three and five cent-pieces, thus shows
the necessity of the fact : "The reason is :ob
vious. • By no other means can any coins be
kept in circulation in the country. The old
cents were bought up, barrelled up, stowed
away in immense quantities by speculators,
and doled out at a premium to those who felt
compelled to use them in change. It was
owing to the extraordinary inconvenience
thereby occasioned to the public that the
government was driven to issue a three-cent
shinplaster, and finally to coin a new cent of
a kind calculated to defy the speculators.
After this new cent made its appearance the
speculators commenced operations on it, but
as the government could make a large pro
fit on the coinage, millions of them were..
issued constantly to all applicants, until
finally the back bone of the cent speculation
was broken, and the new coins triumphantly
took possession of the field.—An ex-rebel
major-general in the Southwest declines to
converse on political matters, because he con
sideres himself a paroled prisoner, and ,as
such has not the right . to .dictate what the
policy of Congress or the President should
be. How much better it would be for the
country -if all who - served -in the', army 'of
treason thought and acted as this officer does.
—The gold, silver and copper coinage at
The United States Mint from 1798" to 1866,
inclusive, amounts to $987,500,000.
THE 'RELIGIOUS 'NEWSPAPER.
It may be that some will .concludp that -I
have overestimated the benign influences of
the really religious newspaper. 'I have not
'uttered a thought or a word unpremeditated.
1 'intended t,o. say all that I have said. I'
have gone no farther than did the Assembly
of 1865, in its iitterariciss upon this_ same ' '
subject. They said the religious newspaper
" has a wider, deeper influence upon the mem
bers .of our congregation than tracts, books,
or quarterly reviews." I believe it. It is one
of the best foreign educators that we can
bring into otitfamilies. Nothing, save the
Bible, can do . more for the intellectual and
social culture of our household. Nothing
that will, at ,so little exPense,
.prove,a more '
- efficient co-operator to the ministry': rt fells
us all about the external condition of the
Church ; having walked about Zion, and
told her towers, and marked her bulwarks,
and considered her palaces, it reports to us
that she is a city compact together, with
no breaches in her walls, and that "Jeho
vah Jireh" is inscribed in burnished capi
tals over her. gateway. They, too, bring us
news of the opening of barren fields and the
want of laborers in these border vineyards.
These papers come to 118 from the high sum
mits of our American Zion. The men 'who
issue them have ,carefully surveyed the
.whole field, the world. Their vision is lim
ited by no ocean, no mountain. They are
the' first to warn us 'of danger, and inspirit
us with hope. They are pure men, 'and
would not soil the wing of one of these 'lnes
seirgers the churches,- .with an- imputit
thought or false word. They come to talk
with the old man leaning on his staff—with
the little one clambering on our knees— to '
weep with us in affliction, and:rejoice with us
in our innocent festivities; to chant requiems
over our buried dead, and strew our bridal al
tars with flowers.-
They come weekly to tell us all about the
interior state of the Church ; with a constant
finger upon her great spiritual artery, whether
she is praying, or voiceless and slumbering,
while sinners are sporting on the brink of
everlasting ruin. They bring us cheering in
telligence of revivals, and herald the footsteps
of the gracious Spirit in the tops of the mul
berry trees, and call upon us to bestir ourselves.
Not take a religious - newspaper? Not let one
of these winged angels of the Church into
your families ?r 'Why ?. I should feel that I
was starving my own soul and beggaring the
souls of my children. And yet, how appall.
ing the fact, that there are 30,000 families in
the Presbyterian Church that take no reli
gious piper that weekly reports her mdve
ments. And here is something for the. Church
to 'do. If it cannot be done. through thd lay
agency of the Church, I believe it would be
time and money and blessing gained
. to the
kingdom of Christ, to take one of our. most
gifted ministers and send hiin op this mission
from hamlet to city and city to hainlet.
Send a man who is able to. comprehend4is
great idea, " The power of the weekly prps.s."
He would be welcome to allour pulpits , as a
messenger of light and mercy. . . . Immor
tal interests are involved in the doing or leav
ing undone this work. If the Protestant reli
gious press does not come in to help mould
minds for Christ and for heaven, some other
will come.to mould for mammon and destruc
tion.—Rev. Dr. _Mattoon at the Convention of
Riding Elders of _Monroe Presbytery.
INTERROGATE thyself, *whether thou
wonldst not have been ready, had enough
been offered thee for it, to give up Jesus ;
therefore, whether thy faith, thy virtue,
have a price for which it may be bought.
MASON & HAMLIN'S CABINET ORGANS.-
lltyving z taken some pains to satisfy ourselves
respecting the merits of these new' instru
ments, we are able to speak very confidently
in regard to them, and to recommend, them
heartily to our readers. We havnot found
any difference in the opinions entertained of
them by musicians—all value them 'highly,
and all agree that their superiority to all
other instruments of the class, American or
foreign, is indisputable.—N. Y. Examiner.

DYSPEPSIA. AND -Dvinizry.
From the venerable Arehdeaoon-Soorr, D.D.
DIMLY; Canada Bast, March 24, 1865.
• • I' "I am an inveterate Dyspeptic of more
:than M years' standing.
* * *I have been so wonderfully benefitted in
the three short weeks during which I hare used the
Perairlah Syrup. that I can scarcely persuade myself
of the reality. People who have known me are aston
ished at the change. lam widely known, and can but
recommend to others that which has done so much
for me." * *
One of the most Distinguished J mists in New
England writes to a friend as follows :
I have tried the Peruvian Syrup. and the result
fully sustains your prediction. It has made a new
man of me; infused into my system new vigor and
energy; I am no longer trtmulons and debilitated, af
when you last saw me, but stronger, heartier, and
with larger capacity for labor, mental and physical.
than at any time during the last five years."
An eminent divine of Boston, says :
"I have been using the PERUVIAN SYRUP for
'tiome time past; it gives me new vigor, buoyancy o!
spirits, elasticity of muscle."

" Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry gives universal
satisfaction. It seems to cure a Cough by loosening
and cleansing the lungs, and allaying irritation, thus
removing the cause, instead of drying up the cough
and leaving the cause behind. I consider the Balsam
as,good as any, if not the best, Cough medicine with
which I am acquainted."

Forney's Philadelphia Daily Prat says of it: " The

NOW FOR THE
PREMIUMS!
A MAGNIFICENT OFFER
Our beautiful Premium Picture. "THE HEAVENLY
CHRISM% trom Raphael's Sistine Madonna," is ready.
This picture has been engraved at great expense,
specially for THE Lrrriat CORPORAL. and is one of the
best engravings ever produced in this country. The
Bank Note Company who produced it. say they would ,
not duplicate it for less than two thousand dollars.
It excels the German engraving of Steinla's, which
sells for $3 per copy. Oar price is $2. For a short
time we shall offer it as a premium as follows :
We will send the picture of Tag Hasyssix Cssauss
to every subscriber who will renew his own subscrip
tion to THE CORPORAL for the next year, and also send
the names of two other subscribers, at the regular
price of one dollar a year. Or to every one who will
send three new subscribers at one time. The pictures
will be sent on rollers, postage paid.
As an inducement for persons to subscribe now, and
thus help you get the picture, you may tell them that
all whb subscribe thus will not only receive Tex COR
PORAL all next year, but will receive the remains num
ber. of the year 1866 free.
We believe this to be the most liberal offer ever
made by any periodical ror so small an effort. We
have several reasons for making it; one is, that we
want all 'bus CORPORAL'S children to have this superb
engraving ; another is, that we want onr new names for
next year to begin coming in now, for convenience in
arranging our manila for January; another is, that
we• want to double our large list at once; and another
is, that the distribution in this way of a few copies o
this picture in every neighborhood, will show the
people how desirable it is, and help agents largely in
making sales, as this magnificent engraving will take
the
_place of the poor, cheaply made pictures which
are bought everywhere.
