Scribner's Bookbuyer of January 15th says, that,the pAica tion of three Inew'volmnes during the neat three months is certain. They are GenesisCprinthians, and another volume of Epistles. The latter will ptobably be the first to appear. Canvassers will find Lange on our premium.list. RENTOUL'S CHEAP LIBRARY OF STANDARD BIBLICAL EXPOEITORS is a Monthly Publication, commencing with the previous month. It.: is ,to donsist of " standard expositions, of separate books 'or the Bible, now very scarce - and out of print, the want of new editions of which is - much felt, by _Evangelical Christians." The year's issue of 576 Bvo. pages will cost $1.50 in advance. The current number contains a-part of RALPH WARD- Leur'ort tcermiAsTEs. The. Publisher is Win. E. Renton], 421'Walnut Stl, THE REEORMEU CHURCH MONTHLY, iS a liter ary enterprise which every frienoiot Evangelical Truth in or outside ._of ) the (Geritiaii) Ve r for'med Church will . greet,iith the best wishes for its success. Edited by Rev. Dr:BoMherger , mf this city, and others, it will give voice to the better and more truly Protestant tendencia in that de nomination which hive hitherto been without a literary organ. The articles in the opening num ber are important as presenting the principlei by which the Monthly will be guided ;' . and arc writ ten in a strong and racy style that must attract the reader. The very valuable statistics of the "Christian World" are marked for transfer to our columns. In 'the classification of Reformed, Lutheran and others, we are not sure where the Editors intend to place the Evaugelical--DAted —Church of Prupsia.

Last Sabbath the little church con nected with. the Institution, was.-made rglad.by the admission of these-lo its comsainiop,,,Rey - . Mr. Rendall, the President, gave them instruc tion concerning the nature and significance of baptism, impressively administered the ordinanee. Rev. Mr. Westcott explained the object and na ture of the Lord's Supper, drawing a vivid distil:l.c -tio n between the accepted and unworthy partaker; and Rev. Dr. Adams closed the service with a tender congratulation and appeal. The presence of Alex. Whilldin, Esq., one of the generous friends of the University, was a feature of the occasion. The accession of these new members is accepted - as a proof of the Diviee favor, and an addition to the moral power of the University. In the evening a touching sermon was delivered by Rev. Mr. Jackson, a graduate of the Institu tion. The last session of the Institution closed on Wednesday 22d inst., for a vacation of two weeks' has been a prosperous one. The number of stu dents is more than one hundred, and their pro gress in study has been gratifying. A large num ber of applications for admission at the opening of the next session, has been made by young men of promise who need aid while prosecuting their studies. Funds constituted for this specia pur pose would greatly enlarge the usefulness of the Institution at this time. Tim INDEPENDENT, lately much enlarged, is coming with fresh energy upon the field of newspaper en terprise and competition, it is but trite to say, that it is one of the most ably conducted journals here or anywhere in the world. And while we wish it. were a more positive power for good than it is, while, we deplore, as an ominous sign of_ the .times, its abandonment of clear evangelical positions upon which it started, we may say, unhesitatingly, that as a secular and political journal, with a high moral tone, its influence in the mass of journalism in our country is ..elevating and-.creditahle to this branch of American literature. We purpose copy ing into our next , issue, the artiele by 'Rev. R. M. Hatfield, entitled, "Evangelical Christians and the THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1868. Sar Might not a part of the ample additional space lately given to the Presbyterian, be useful ly employed in allowing its readers to see exactly what it is which the conductors object - to in the columns of cotemporaries ? In its issue of the 18th, that paper refers to an item of only seven teen lines* in our columns of the 9th, and barely quotes enough even of those few lines to mist the entire significance of- the •article, and to put us in a false light before the readers.

A marked change in the retotion of the waters, both above and below the Falls, is thought to indicate this "wonderful change of base,' - If this be so, we must expect die long to hear that large portions of the rocks have given way, and the entire aspect of the - Falls may be materially changed before many more years have rolled away.

BUCHANAN, MICH.-A correspondent writes some particulars of the revival in this place, previ ously mentioned : Six weeks ago, the United Breth ren, the Methodists and the Presbyterians, united in a series of meetings, one week in each Church, in the evening, conducted by the minister of the church where held, the ministers taking turn in preadhing when no neighboring brother was pre sent to aid--much time being spent in prayer. The Holy Spirituras poured out upon the peoL ple, and more or legs have been hopefullycon vetted almost daily. Numbers have united with these Churches. On the last 'Sabbath evening, there was a ,united communion season in the Methodist house, and from 200 to 250 commem orated the 'dying love of Christ. The Disciples or Christians also have been en gaged • in a series of. meetings `for 'the last two weeks, conducted by one of their - popular preach ers, and.l6 have been baptized.!

'Vincent, pastor; of the gis f ; Church, Troy, writes to the .gemag east an interesting account,. of .Evangelistic movements by our hitherto somewhat inactive-mother church there. ` " About twoyears ag,o we commenced simult all e ously two enterprises of this eharacter. .trhe first Was at the Iron Works, about twolsiles below the city, where the .immense establishments of the Messrs. Burden and _Corning and Winslow have concentrated, a large population. Our Meth , - odist brethren had long/had a_' vigorous self-sup. Porting church there i lind - a fine Sabbath-school: One of our zealous 'Christian Women, however, on cativassi'ng, found - upwards of foriy Presbyte rian families, English,lria, and Scotch, some of them steeped in the_ stern Calvinism of their Scottish homes and. _.kirks,, and as incapable, of fusing with our-Methodist brethren as oil with water. The proposition fora distinct: enterprise was readily embraced. About seven ` or ' eight months ago, the peep% 'organized a Church and called. a. ,plator, the Rev'. John Tatlock. The, capi talists of that neighborlaood have taken the.en terprise to their hearts, and have their; plan's ready laid for building st ,. .beautiful and ,conveni eat chareh., ' Per the Up-town enterprise,it was at first diffi cult to find a foothold. After muchsearching, we at length found.a place ,to light, in the shape, of an " upper chamber," twenty by thirty feet, unlashed and unplastered, and to whieh:iweis cended at first by a ladder. Here Oakwood Sun day-School was ,organized. Never was movement received in any neighborhood with more enthusi asm. .The little room was speedily crowded, un til it seemed* though we should have to haug the children out of the_windows. One old, blind lady,- Very 'Oa, said, " 0' how thankful I_ am that •: we are to have a church here at last. / must have something in that church, if 'Ws only a nail." -During, the week a' regular prayer meeting was sustained in the little room, and Christ often met.the disciples there as he did in that. other chamber long ago. On the: 29th of October, 1866, the corner stone of a chapel wasklaid .with appropriate cere thoes.th i and the first , sermon-vbas 'preached there on Stifiday, .January" 27 '1867.

THE UNION PACIFIC/ :RAILROAD. When this. great 'work is completed, as it vii he by 1870, if the present rate of progress con tinues, a.riew era of trade will'begin. with direct and rapid communication between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. It: is almost impossible to over estimate the national benefits that. will fel low. Already more than five hundred and forty miles west of Omaha 'have been built, and the road is now within ten mites of one of the highest points of the Rocky mountains. The rapidity of the progress of this road is without a parallel, and, the construction has not been suspended even in midwinter. We find the usefulness of the enterprise already demonstrated by the set tlements that have been made along the road. and there are many thousands of people in the towns west of Omaha, in a`country rich in mine ral and agricultural wealth, Which, but tor the „Inion l Pacific 'Railroad, would still be the hunt ing, ground of the Pidian. Congress noverdid A wiser thing than when 1: offered filtylnilliona-of dollars, in Government bonds, as a loan to the company. By that act it insured the success of 'an enterprise which will really'be what the national debt was said to be— a 'national blasino• The Government bu d. however, are secured , by, a second mortgage, o that piivate capital invested in the road receiver first mortgage bonds, which have a higher value than those of the Government. The American pedple take a deep interest in- this railroad, and properly so, for none of the great works of the laSt twenty-five years compare with it in useful ness and, value. It will be the richest railroad le the world, and must, for many years, enjoy the monopoly of the •Pacific travel and trade. EMMY. MONUMENT.
