MtESBYTKKIASf. Correspondence with Ireland. —Profes- sor Porter, Convener of the Irish Assembly's Committee on Correspondence, writes to Dr. Boardman, of this city, that, having heard that our brethren of the other branch pro pose sending deputies to the Free Church of Scotland, he requests that they will instruct their deputies to appear at the Irish General Assembly, which is appointed to meet in Dublin on the first Monday in June, 1867. He also states that deputies from the Irish Church will receive a commission to appear at the Assemblies and Synods of the New School, the United Presbyterians and the Dutch Reformed Churches, and asks for minutes and other current documents. Presbyterian Churches in New Eng land. —Of the eleven churches belonging to the Londonderry Presbytery—four in Massa chusetts and seven in NewHaMpshire—only two now have pastors, via.*: the First Presby terian Church in Newburyport, Rev. Mr. Richardson, pastor, and the the church in Bedford, N. H., Rev. Arthur Little. Withdrawal. —Rev. Charles D. Kellogg, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Wilmington, Del., has withdrawn from the aotive duties of the ministry, on account of continued ill health. Three years ago, when he took charge of the churoh, it numbered one hundred and sixty members; it now num bers more than three hundred. Much of the debt upon the church has been paid. A Southern Lady, for over two years, has been instilling the rudiments of education into the neglected poor white children in her neighborhood. A rude building on her hus band’s plantation (he was till lately a slave owner) serves her as a vestry and school-room. There every Sabbath morning, seventy chil .—dreii float-«y pher, and study the Bible. Except for the v occasional . aid of a lady relative or some chance visitor, she teaches alone. Last sum mer she proposed to .discontinue the school . daring the extreme heat ot the weather. Though some of the children walked barefoot five miles, under a burning sun, to attend, not one was willing to forego her instruction even for a single day. She intends soon to open an evening school for colored children. Her great desire now is to hold regular religious services for parents and children after her« morning school is over. Friends at the North, interested in the success of her under taking, are helping her raise the means ne cessary to support a minister, and are on the lookout for one fit for the work. She is an earnest Presbyterian. —Boston Christian Register. Dedication at Stillwater.— The Second Presbyterian Church at Stillwater, N. Y., was dedicated, with..appropriate services, December 18th. A subscription of $5OO re lieved the property of all incumbrances., This church was organized one year ago, and has thirty-five members. It is under the pastoral care of Rev. W. M. Johnson, who is also pastor of the First Church, Stillwater. The Lord has greatly blessed his labors in this field. , The First IT. P. Presbytery of Hew York met in the church in Paterson, N. J., December 4th. On the evening of Tuesday, the Sabbath-school in connection with this church was examined on the first half of the Assembly’s Shorter Catechism. Arrange ments were made to ordain Mr. W. A. Find ley over the Bast Eleventh Street Church, New York, and a pastoral letter on Manses was adopted. On the evening of Wednes day, the congregation of Paterson was visited. Bequests. —The lafe Elizabeth Hoge, of Philadelphia, leaves $5OOO to the Trustees of the General Assembly of the O. S. Presby terian Church, for the use of such disabled i ministers and their families as the Trustees may designate ; also, $3OOO to the Board of 1 Domestic Missions. The Presbyterian ; church in Litchfield, N. H., receives by the will of the late James Parker, of that town, about $20,000, the interest to be used in maintaining preachers. Church Dedication at Council Bluffs.— On Saturday, Novenber 18th, a new Presby terian Church was dedicated at Council Bluffs, lowa. The church was organized in October, 1856, consisting of thirteen members. It has received one hundred and fifty-two, of whom eighty-seven have been reoeived upon pro fession, and now embraces one hundred and five members. The foundation was laid in 1857. Owing to the financial crisis, the work was suspended till 1866. It has just been finished, and/is a handsome brick building, 60 feet long and 43 feet wide, with a fine basement for the Sabbath-school. The cost was $17,000. all ot which has been raised, so tH-r the 1 nifding was truly given to God at the time ui' the dedication. Bible Revision. —A correspondent of the United Presbyterian suggests the propriety of suggesting changes in the current version of the Bible at the Presbytery, and if approved there, carry it to the Synod; and when approved in all the courts of the Church, insert it in the next edition. “Suum Cuique.” —“We learn,” (says the 2Y Y Observer) "chat Dr. Plumer has decided to accept the Professorship of Theology in the Co otnbia, S C., The.'logical Seminary. Note i r list a riding this will necessitate the re moval of his Presbyterial’ connection, to the Southern Preshyo-rian Church, we are sure that he will carry with him the best wishes and prayers of his numerous friends for his eminent usefulness in gaining up men foe the sacred ministry.” Very Ohserrerish! Cumberland Presbyterian University. —Last Monday week was a proud day for the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in this country. It was the opening day of Lincoln University. Long and hard has been the labor and toil to accomplish this end. But the glorious day is come at last. Here has begun the labors and career of an institution that, with God’s blessing, will send its rays of light and truth across the continent, and down the stream of generations, until that morning when the strong-lunged angel shall herald forth the death of rime and the near approach of the unending eternity. We have no hesitancy in saying that the build ing, in beauty and excellence of architecture and adaptation to the work of a college, is un surpassed in the Church, if ever it has been equalled.— Western Cwmh. Presb. Death in the Ministry— The Presbyter announces the death of the Rev. L‘5F. Leake, of Terre Haute, Indiana, in the seventy-sev enth year of his age,‘and the forty-ninth of his ministry. He had been for a rime in in firm health. 8/S.& .a . £ t £ CO I ss 8 I* 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 A Sign of the Times,—The liberal wing of the United Presbyterian Church propose to issue the first number of a new paper—the Union Presbyterian —on the first of next month.. It will advocate “believers’ com munion” and Christian union as an end, with Presbyterian union as a means to that end. It will be located in Cincinnati, and Rev. W. C. McCuae, of that place, will be on the staff. 91( 1611 23 2- 30 3: 3 10 17 24 7 81 9 L 4 15 16 !1 22 23 !8 29 30 4i 11! iBj 25! . Mission Work in .New York.—The Presbyterian Church, Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street, (Rev. Dr. Rice’s,) always active in this work, have purchased two houses in King street, which have been fitted for the occupancy of one of their oldest and most successful missions. The Brick -Presbyterian Church dtave commenced the erection of a commodious building in Thirty fifth street, for the use of a very large and interesting mission they have succeeded in gathering and sustaining in Broadway. Japanese Dictionary. Dr. Hepburn writes to the Old School Board of having completed, the nearly seven years’ chief’ work of his hand in Japan—a Japanese and English Dictionary—and he expected to take immediate steps for having it printed. One of our countrymen, a merchant at Yoko hama, kindly and liberally offered to take the risk and be at the expense of its publi cation ; this expense will probably be reim bursed by its sales. This work, the first and only one of the kind, has involved great labor, but it is regarded as indispensable to . the translation of the Scriptures into the Japan ese language, and it will be very useful also to missionaries and others. New Mexico.—The Rev. D. F. McFar land, Old School Missionary at .Santa Fe, writes that he has made the acquaintance'of ■all the leading men, and preached on Sab bath morning in the Senate Chamber, to a frill house. Feels much-encouraged. All the principal Americans' received him most cor dially, expressing themselves rejoiced that one has come at last to preach Christ’s Gos pel in this place. .There are about seven hundred Americans in the place. : 3 do A 7 2: 9; 16i 5 6: 7 L 2 13i14 L 9 20121 !fi 2.712 - Results of the late Supreme Court Decision- —It is understood, that a general order is in course of preparation, to be direct ed to department commanders, acquainting them with'the decision of the Supreme Court against the illegality of courts martial for the trial of civilians, and directing them to con fine. themselves strictly to military duties, leaving judicial questions to the decision of the civil courts, or something to this effect. The Judiciary.— The New York Herald comes to thewescue of Congress and the loyal people in the controversy inaugurated by the late decision of the Supreme Court. The decision threatens to render illegal all acts done by military power for upholding the G-overnment against traitors in the Northern States. The Herald says :—“But what can Congress do, with the Supreme Court still holding on to’ the teachings of the Dred Scott decision and blocking the way ? Congress still has the remedy in itsTiands in the power to reconstruct the Supreme Court itself. In the repeal of the laws creating and relating to the present Supreme Court it may be abolished, and a new court may be established in its place, with new judges, from the Chief Justice down, and fewer or more in number, as Congress may prescribe. Here is an in viting field for Congressional reconstruction; for while of the nine judges of this court there are five who still believe in the Union and the Constitution as they were under Buchanan, what security 1 Have we against some future decision reaffirming the Dred Scott decision and the decree of the Chicago Convention—that the war for the Union was a failure ? _ Five against four. One man in this court is invested with the power of turn ing the Government back again to Buchanan. Have We not here a relic of the past demand ing a thorough reconstruction?"’—Chief Justice Chase has refused a writ of habeas corpus fop the release of Dr. Mudd, one of the conspirators imprisoned at the Dry Tor tugas. The Chief Justice, however, says his refusal does not prevent application to another judge or court. Pennsylvania.—Governor Geary has ap pointed Col. Frank Jordan, of Bedford, to be Secretary of the Commonwealth, and B. H. Brewster, Esq., of this city, to be Attorney General. New York. — More Seizures of Distilleries. —Whisky dealers are patting up prices, on account of the frequent seizures of delinquent establishments. The biggest seizure of the season, by the way, took place last week.- The distillery is located at the corner of Thir ty-ninth street and Tenth avenue, and is owned by a Mr. Judah Pierce. Its capacity is said to be about five thousand gallons per diem. The Government officers are now bivouacking on the premises. As things are going on, there will hardly be a distillery in the city upon which the Government will not have laid its heavy hand in thirty days from date.- —The Supreme Court, in session at Albany, has rendered, a decision affirming the judgment of the last* General Term, which sustained the constitutionality of the Excise law. Massachusetts.— The proprietors of the Revere, Tremont, and Parker Houses, and Young’s Hotel, Boston, are in trouble. They have been charged with violating the MaSsa , ehusetcs liquor laws, and, pleading guilty,' have been faned $5O each, and sentenced to three months’ imprisonment. They have ap pealed to a higher court, however, so that the sentenee is, for the present, held in abey ance. Ohio. —In Cincinnati, Djc. 24th, three per sons of one family died from eating diseased pork, and two others are now ill from the same cause. • Slavery Revived in Maryland.— Four negroes, convicted for larceny, and ordered to be sold by Judge Magruder, at Annapolis, were sold on Saturday. Some twenty or thirty farmers were present at'the sale. The first one sold was John Johnson, who bid for himself, and, the auctioneer tak ing his bid, he was finally knocked down fetos a! ft fifofc THE EXECUTIVE. THE STATES. to himself, and became his own purchaser, for $37. Another man brought $35, and two girls brought respectively $22 and $3O each. An of the Freedmen's Bureau, Major Vandelip, was present for the pur pose of making an affidavit, so that Judge Magruder could be brought to trial, before a United States Coirt, under the Civil Rights bill. The affidavit was made before the United States Commissioner. As the Civil Rights bill requirts all persons, white or black, to be treatedalike by the laws, and as white men are not apld for crime in Mary land, it would seem that the case is too plain and flagrant to leave room for doubt. Missouri. Gen. Grant's Order With drawn.—The following appeared in the pa pers last week:— Washington, Dec. 23, 1866. — Governor. T C.\Fletcher The order sending United States troops to Lafayette, county was countcrmaided on receipt of your despatch. U. S.

He said: —“ Your flag left prance to restore the Holy See. The'flag nor returns to France; but many consciences will not be satisfied, for a revolution will come to the States of Rome. Italy is not complete, as has been said, because this scrap oft territory still remains; when this no longer,remains, the flag of revolution will float over the Ital ian capital. I pray for Napoleon: and his tranquility; but he also must do something. France is the eldest daughter of the Church, but it does not suffice to wear the title. The right to wear it must be proved by deeds.” Mexico. —Advices received at Havana Dec.; 22d, state that Maximilian had divided the country into four military divisions, under the command of Major Marquez and Mira : mon, and the fourth, Yucatan, is to remain in its present state.

Hence it is easy to see that, without some counter force* the globe must rotate slower and slower, until its revolutions wholly cease. Then, with perpetual night on one side, and a degree of cold far below any: now known, we should have, on the other, a “fervent heat” from the sun, which would melt the rocks and make the mountains run like water.
