may be done at such meetings to forward the in
wrests of Christ's kingdom, if the members will

li3patehed rapidly, and then much time may be
w 3 ll split in discussing the great questions of
interest now up, in regard both to Home
and Foreign Missions.
CONTINENTAL SABB4TEr
A week ago last Sunday, we had in our quiet
c ity, a slight illustration. of, the way in which
they keep holy time in. France/ Italy, Spain and
p a pal countries. It was trot,exaCtly a bull fight ;
but. it was a great noise;
, and attracted curious
eyes even from the Sunday-schools, then in ses
sion, to the streets to see what was going on. All
were more or less disturbed by loud strains of
m artial music.
The explanation was a procession of Roman
Catholics parading the streets, headeti by - a band,
on their way to the depot. After, passing through
various parts of the town,-making noise enough
for any week day but the 4th of July, they took
a special train of cars to a rieighbdring
assist in laying the cornerstone of a'new Roniish
church.
The quiet of that peiceful village was even
more disturbed than our own city. Three or four
thousand persons were gatherod there, with the
Tune strains of martial music, and many, doubt
less, almost questioned the testimony of their
own senses when they looked upon that strange
parade on God's holy day. Such a thing could
hardly have occurred in this part of
. the country'
twenty years ago. We doubt if the moat unscru
pulous Romanist would, lia,vviared at that time
so far to outrage public sentiment, and public
decency. Surely it is time to take souudings and
s ee whither we are drifting. A great Republic
without a Sabbath will find its days soon num
bered.
COL. STAUNTON'S DEATH
We made mention last July,of a scientifictx
pedition to South America, of which Col Phineas
Staunton, of Leßoy was one. And now the
news comes back, that Mr. Staunton died at Qui
to, on the sth of September, of dysentery. He
was s eh before reaching that city, and survived
but a few days after getting there. He was up
and about, however, the day before he died, and
expected soon to be well again; so suddenly were
his own expectations and those of his friends-cut
off.
This is a heavy blow to Leßoy, and to Inghain
University with which he has been long identi
fied. Mr. Stanton was in every sense a iThristian
gentleman, an elder in the Presbyterian Church,
Vice Chancellor of the University, and an ar
tist of acknowledged ability and high attainment.
During the war he also gave himself to the service
of his country ; was Lieut. Colonel of one of the
New York Regiments, and cheerfully encountered
all the hardships incident to that kind of life.
As the best friend, dearest associate and counsel
lor of Mrs. Staunton, at the head of that large
Female Seminary, he will be peculiarly missed ;
and all the more because Miss Marietta Ingham,
the other original founder of the school is no
longer with her. After a life of eminent service
in the course of female education she died last
summer.
DR. DAGGETT DISMISSED
At an ecclesiastical council, which met in Ca
nandaigna on Wednesday last for the purpose,
Rev. Dr. Daggett was d.smissed from his pastor
al clutra, preparatory to leaving for. New Haven
Ct. To-morrow he is to preach his farewell ser
mon, and next week to take his departure from
the beautiful' village with whose best interests
he had been identified so long.
Rev. Oliver Elsworth Daggett, son of the fa
slow Judge Daggett of New Haven, honorably
born and honorably named, was settled in Canan
daigua, in January 184 b. , His ministry in . that
place extends, over a period of almost twenty-two
years. And now he goes back to the place of
his birth and of his education, a respected and an
honored man, to minister to one of the most pe
culiar, most important, and most difficult congre
gations to be found on this. Continent. May he
meet with perfect success in his new.field of - la

Rochester, Oct. 19th, 1867.
A State Christian Convention of pastors and
laymen, is called to meet at Peoria, on the 29th
inst., for prayer and a free exchange of views
upon the various questions of practical Christian
effort. The following topics are suggested for
consideration:
I.—How can we best read' and influence those
who habitually neglect public worship ?
—Hew shall the whole church be interested
and engaged in ef f orts tor those who neglect the
ti'spel ?
111 .—What can the laity of our churches do
for Christ 7
IV.—liuw can the unity of Christ's followers
be better manifested to the world ?
V.—Llow can the Gospel be carried to 'neigh
borhooda remote from 'the churches?
can our devotional meetings be
made more interesting and profitable to the un
converted 7
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1861.
The growing frequency of conventions of this
kind indicates a general and happy awaking of
Christians to the spiritual needs of the multi
tudes living in negligence of religion, as well as
to their own responsibilities as laborers, by virtue
of their profession, in the vineyard of
.Christ.
FROM OUR CHICAGO CORRESPONDENT.
DEAR AMERICAN : The Synod of Peoria
convened in annual session on the evening of the
15th inst., at the Eighth Church in this city,
and was opened by a sermon from the retiring
moderator, Rev. Wm. S. Curtis, President of
Knox College. The familiar theme—Christ cru
cified, was unfolded in a discourse rich in thought
and impressive in the delivery, and often rising
to true eloquence. Next morning a good num
;bet' of ministers and delegates from the chuiches
'respended.to, the .callino• 0-the roll. .I. shall at
tempt, to give you no more than a general outline
of the - 'course of business.
Rev. E. A. Pierce, of the. Calvary Church,
Chicago, was . chOsen Moderator, and Rev: S.
Kickoff, of Knoxville, Scribe. Rei„Mr. Dunn,
of New York, Secretary of the National Temper
ance Union, being present, was heard in exposi
tion of the aims and mathods of that organiza
tion. In closing he urged upon the menibere of
Synod the duty of the 'church,. to enter ear
neatly and unitedly into the work of arresting
the evil of intemperance, desiring them to take
such action in the matter as should be deemed
best.
A special committee appointed a year ago to
devise a plan by which to render meetings of
Synod more interesting and useful, reported the
follohing, whieh was accepted and adopted :
There shall be a prayer-meeting of one hour,
in length, each morning, before opening the
meeting. . . . The occasional sermon to be
given in the evening of the second day, and to
be the'theme of free - conversation after its deli
very. The general meeting for popular ad
dresses on the, benevolent enterprisies of the
churah,to be held the third day. If possible, the
Lord's Sapper to be celebrated at each annual
meeting.
Rev. Mr. Wheeler, missionary from Turkey,
was heard with great interest, on the missionary
work in that country. In contrast to the gene
ral conception of a fOreign missionary and his
work, he presented a vivid picture of the reality.
In the evening of Wednesday, a public meet
ing was attended at the Second Church, where
addresses from Dr. Kendall, of New York, and
several others, were listened to on the subjects of
Home Missions, Church Erection,, and Educa
tion. A large and intelligent audie,nOe greeted
the speakers, and a highly favorable impression
is believed to have been made in respect to these
great kindred causes. • ' -
The repots froth the churches were generally
highly favorable, ;showing a. decided advance
during the past year in pecuniary contributions,
and, in some instances, a very prosperous spirit
ual condition. As a whole, our denominational
interests are steadily advancing, and our hotue
missionary churches fast approximating .a condi
tion of independence of pecuniary aid. A meet
ing of elders far consultation, conference and
prayer was decided Upon as a regular adjunct
of the annual meetings of Synod.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures . re
ported : • •
"That a paper has been put in our hands per
taining, to the'sUbject of a denominational news
paper, ()Vertu:l46g the Synod to iniugurate mea
sures for the establishing of such a paper. Your
committee are not 'prepared recommend to
this Synod to take the - steps contemplated in
this overture, yet wou'd recommend. the Synod
to consider the expediency of such a move, with
a view to its ultimate a,ccomplislimeirt."
'Report accepted arid adopted.
A most excellent sermon on "Intercessory
Prayer," from Rev C. A. Williams, of-Rockford,
and the celebration Of the Lord's Saipper, filled
up delightfully the evening of ThirisdaY.
Nearly the whole of Friday was occupied with
a tangled case of appeal from the Presbytery of
Bloomington. Pia. J.1 1 ;T : Bailey; . of Bla:-Irburn
Seminary, was heard concerning that institution,
showing it to be in •a prosperous condition, and
capable of being made of great efficiency to the
interests of =the denomination.. It l.ossesses an
available endowment of about $`200,000,. and is
the property of the Synod of Illinois..
NARRATIVE
Rev.' E: ll'Avery,.Chairman of the Committee on
the Narrative, submitted the following, which was
accepted and adopted: • ' •
• In briefly reviewing the history of the pa-t year,
we would first call attention to the mAterial prepa-.
ration which has .been made for carrying on the
work of the Lord. From all ,arts of the field em
braced within the bounds of thii Synod, there come
.reports of building for God. Some of our churches
have been laid under the necessity of providing am
ple accommodation for growing audiences. In some
cases this has been done by the enlargement of ex
isting houses of worship. In other cases the neces
sity has been met by the erection of new edifices.
Two of our churches—the First, of Freeport, and
the Eighth, of Chicago--have shown their faith and
zeal by rearing exceedingly commodious and elegant
structures to-the honor and for the service of Jeho
vah. - While we rejoice in these tokens of prosperity,
we would still regard them as. nothing in them
selves, but only as means to the great end of preach
ing the Gospel for the salvation of souls. ,
• The great work of publishing the Gospethaa not
; been neglected. With few exceptions, the Churehes
'connected with us have hesu supplied during - the
year with the stated ministration of the wordand
Christian ordimilices. not oulritaxe: regular
'and. topnat (laden -.been discharge 4 brie in; many
'places vigorous efforts have been made to reach
outlying and destitute neighborhoods with the means
of grace. In this way seed has been sown, some or
which we may hope will spring up and bear fruit to
God's eternal glory.
The interests of the young are receiving increased
attention. This is manifest not only in the. ear
nestness with which pastors and private Christians
are laboring in the Sabbath School's belonging to
the several churches, but also in the reports that
come up of mission schools established or carried
on with new zeal. These things indicate both that
good is being done, and that our churches are pre
paring themselves by actual Christian work for en,.
larged usefulness in the years to come.
• Our benevolent contributions, though not fully
up to the Gospel standard, are nevertheless so& as
to afford cheering evidence of a growing spirit of li
berality. It is particularly gratifying to observe
the almost universal expression of a purpose, to re
member in the way of contribution all those causes
which are recommended, by the General 4spetubly.
We recognize in this purpose both a devotion to the
work of the Divine Master and a loyalty to our own
.branch of the Church, which must be' productive, of
much C•ood.' •
.
But is: a 'special- privilege to. narrate -that 'God:
has not left us to labor in our own strength or-by:
otir , own Wisdom: He has- been' cnntioatly-mani
festing Himself as the Lord of thelviiieyfird and.
Shepherd ofTthe sheep. On. every .p01..0f. onr,field
there haVe . been gentle distillations of `'Heavenly
grace, while some places have rejoiced in the great
rain of God's saving power., •
On the whole we have every reason to be thank

great the work before.us, however violent, the oppo
sition we , must encounter, yet in. th i f nanie of our

. .
The Vote on ite-union.=The
~P resb yt erian of last
Week counts eleven Pres by teries as yoking for re-union
on the basis of the Joint COMmittee, and thirty-nine
against it. To this list there should 'be added one
Presbytery.voting in the negative, one in the affirms=
tive, and two—Miami and Coluntkansvirliicii.may be
classed as rather favoring the planhut seeking some
modifications. Miami wishes the phrase "as uhder
stood by both bodies omitted from the article on
doctrine, while ColuinbUs'respectfiilli suggeits to
their Committee • of fifteen, that they endeavOr to
secure, if possible, a more Clear and definite st,ite
men t of the doctrinal basis. The Presbyterian recanns
the Presbytery: of Cincinnati (to. which Dr. Monfort
of the Presbyter belongs), as. in .the affirmative, al
though they also ask for mOdificatiOnsof the Joint
Committee's plan. Theirlaii,guage is in part as fol
lows :—The re-union shall be effected on the doc
trinal and ecclesiastical basia of our common stand.
ards : the Confession of Faith shall continue to be
sincerely_ received and adopted as containing the
System of doctrine taught . in the Hold* Scriptures ;'
and its fair historical sense, as exhibiting what's known
as the Reformed or Calvinistic system Shall\be. regard d
as the sense in which it is received on d adopted ;
and, the GOvernment and. Discipline of the Presby
terittn?.Church in . the United Slates sh I contifine to
be approvedas,co citainimtb.e..witt • aEµ =
of u itY; They also salt the - to t
.onim fuse
to amend the eleventh item of their report by strik
ing out the words "within one year." If re-union is
desirable and practicable, it should be accomplished.
even though more than one year-be required ibr its
consummation:
The ,Preabiticiirin. remarks upon the vote as: fol
lows:—While it.appears from the list we publish
from week to week, that the - majority of Presbyte
ries
which have as yet reported, express opinions
opposed to re-union on the proposed Basis, it must
be - gratifying to observe that no objection is urged,
against the desirableness of re-union, nor is there ex
pression of any feeling of unfriendliness - towards
our New School brethren ; but the contrary. It
May; perhaps, be replied that suspicion is implied in
this action,,thitt the brethren of the 'other branch
are of questioned orthodoxy, and that such a suspi
cion iS injurious. It is not so desia t' nedly. It will
not„ be disputed, that difference of doctrinal state
ment has existed, and this, in time past, has
,pro
duced alienation and separation, and the simple with
is to ascertain whether it now so,exists as, to prove
a bar tore-anion It Would be most inauspi
cious if under the influence of frfrndly,impulies, a
precipitate step should be taken, which would 'be•
productive of thture biekerings. Where so many
interests are involved, the better plan would be to
hasten slowly: The wise and , thoughtful on both
hides
,will agree in this. Let there .be frank and
honest interchange of opinion, that it may bel seen
whether we can meet in a loving brotheihood, and
live under the Same roof in peace. •
More reCently we learn 'that the Synod, of
more,". laid on the table,. by a 'vote of 4b to 20, a re
-solution declaring that the Synod of Baltimore ex
press its earnest desire that the - two branches of the
'Presbyterian -Church ; may he united in- a ,cordial
and harmonion union. This, is the body which,
last year,•arnid many fraternal dethonStrations,.cele
brated a joint communion service witli"the Synod'of-
Pennsylvanin, at •
kdorre'spondeut of the New York Observer -and
also of the Presbyterian writes in regard to the deci
sion of the Synod of S , . Paul against re-union. He
says,
that the substance of, the paper adopted " is—
after reciting the greatadvantages and desirableness
of unimi—that whereas to many of the Members or
Synod the doctrinal basis . proposed by the Joint
Cdininitteeaeeths to be open to a double and doubt
ful construction, we respectfully ask the Committee
to have it stated more explicitly, so as to avoid
mis
'understandingand strife in the future in the United
;church. And whereas the-terms co n cern ing the The
ological Seminaries and Boards of PutdicAtion do,
not seem to many to be quite just to the OldSchool'
branch, we respectfully ask that they be changed,
and made fair and equal." The Synod of Albany
resolved, "That we desire a I:nlN:in .- of' the twoCren

THE FACTS AS TH
I We began in 1861 to make rm
-1 PROVEN SETS in the style and make of
Ready Made Clothing, and continued
to do so, introducing new styles and
ideas every year, so that the entire
character of the business is now vastly
better and totally - different from the
I. systems of older houses.
.
Our fi rst idea is to learn exactly
WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS, and,
instead of persuading him to buy
what, may be most conveniently at
hand, - We take the utmost pains to
meet HIS wishes.
Improved.
What
Customers
Want.
The Building we. occupy is the
MOST CONVENIENT, LARGEST AND
BEST ADAPTED for Our business of
any in Philadelphia. -
Customers can SEE what they• are
buying, our Establishment being on
the corner of three large streets, (Mar
ket, Sixth and Minor streets), Anun.
DENT LIGHT is afforded from all
directions. A light store is far better
for customers than a dark one.

MERCHANTS 'KNOW that our sales
are larger than those of any other

we have to buy larger quantities of
goods, and so get them at lower prices
especially as we IHTT ALTOGETHER

can SELL CHEAPEST.

We ciose/y xxAmniE every .nch of
goods that comes into Our Establish

The time Wasted in looking over
the stocks of a dozen stores CAN BE
AVOIDED, for, under ONE ROOF, We
offer for sale an assortment equal in
variety and eitent to that embraced
by a score of the ordinnry houses.
We have 600 hands employed in the
manufacture , . of— Clothing, -who are
constantly making up stock to take
the plate of that daily sold: this
gives our customers NEW AND FRESH
goods to make selections from.
It is an undisputed fact that this
Department, (a large Hall on, our
second floor fronting on Minor st.,)
has nothing in "dada. to EQUAL
IT- We have here concentrated the
best skill and workmanship and those
who prefer Clothing made to order
really 'have advantages they do not
