Scottish Covenanters and the Stuart Case,— "The mealltyaor the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Great Itritain. are peculiarly anxious 'to disavow all sympathy with the action of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church against Mr. Stuart. Many of them are also strongly opposed to the use of hymns in social and . . public :worship; and the subject was brought before the meeting of the Synod in Edinburg in May last, by a memorial, and was fully discussed. The, old use -and wont of the Church was against the employment of unin spired hymns of praise; but even the Cameronians, as they are termed, have been .unable, to resist the whole tendency of modern song service in the sanc tuary. It is,now asserted that_hymns are beginning to be freely nee& the eerkregational Sabbath schools, and that great majortty.of the .- laymen, and a considerable proportion of, the m i nisters, are in favor of allowing the use of - test:nail and select number of hymns."— The Christian World (London.); ,etter 8 7 Letter d Wrong Editor's -old Fields Brydropho- Wave on All, (Poe by a Pin, Itch Farm tvlaration, 7th. - the office 1 be open .BERS.

Yet all our sympathies in doctrine and in polity, were with the Old School. We were crowded to the wall and called on to decide whether our allot ment should be cast with the New School, or with the Old School with, whom our views were in unison, while we disapproved of their excinding acts. Our decision to remain with the Old School was prompt and firm, and not less prompt was our PROTEST against its excinding acts; and that Protest now stands on the records of the Presby tery. _ There are hinaieds'of as good men and"'sound' Presbyterians in the exciiided churches as are to be found among d:prielvdal fandxwhBrttime, that great healei, shall'haie fodered..azimife'fraternal spirit,.in,, 'llth.siliese branches of the;greg Pres byterial-family in this, land,,we doubt,notAhey wilronc& more beceMe` United and haimicdats-; FROM OUR ROOHESTER: CORRESPONDENT, Tan WEL4.B ,152MINARY.- 1 0 , have :iva for mer letter4mitdOnention of the munificent ,:pro ject of Iren2VlVegs,-Esg,.; of Aurora, the found ing of a Female Seminaii*si.high order in the beautiful village of his residence. He has been spared to witness, the consummation of his plans, and to see a grand building erected his lib erality, consecrated ~to its sacrecPpurposes. The dedication occurred on the 23d of July, and was a memorable occasion. The village, is one of the most beautiful in our State, situated on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, on elevated ground, rising gently from the she& Here Wells set apart seventeen acres of land for the proposed institution. Upon this he has erected a fine building, complete in all its parts, at an expense of $100,00; In furnishing the same hits expended $50,f00 ; school rooms, dor`mitories, recitation rooms;.parloys and kitchens , being supplied with all that is needful for living and study. The building is also: fur s, nished,with gas, manufactured upon the premises, and:inter to each story from the neighboring hills.: Every thing necessary to health, comfb, ft, and codvnienee seems to have been provided for in the most liberal manner"; ads:rail has been given so cheerfully, and ivith Such= apparent relish as to,present an example of intelligent and . prineelY liberality. Many ewinent men participated in the dedica tion. ,HOd. N. K Hall, of BuffalO, was the President of the day. The prayer of dedication was offered by Dr. Condit, of Auburn. A letter of regret from Chancellor Pruyn, of Albany, was read. Telegrams were received, from Gov. Fen ton 'and from Pres. White of Cornell University. Hofi. Chas: J. Folger; of Geneva, read the deed of gift by which the princely donor, for the consid eratiorcof Onesollar, makes all this property over to the Truste.ei for aPernale Seminary. The Address of Presentation by the founder, giving his views and motive in the gift; was read by his son-in law; James H. Welles, Esq., •of ,New York. Hon Charles B. Sedwick, of. Syracuse, in a handsome speech, received the gift in behalf of the Trustees, thanking Mr. Wells "from the - bottom of his heart," for that which he is thus doing for female education. Speeches were also made by Rev, S. I. Prime, D.D., of the New York Ob- server, Geo W. Curtis, Esq., and others. A faculty of instruction is already appointed, of which Rev. W. W. Howard, of Aurora, is the President, although he still remains pastor of the Presbyterian church. Miss M. M. Carter is Principal, with eight other lady teachers for the various deptfrtmeitts. The school is to open un der their auspices about the middle of September, the academic year being divided into two terms, to close about the last of June. Henry Wells, Esq. thus builds a monument for himself, such as few men lave the means, and fewer still the heart, to build. May his, anticipations for its permanent and wide-spread usefulness be more than realized. OUR SUMMER RESORTS.—The Watkins Glen is one of the most romantic, beautiful spots any where to be found. It is now frequented by thousands of visitors; sometimes many hundreds in a day. Philadelphians' should not fail to see it on their way to Niagara. It has not the grandeur of the latter; but in curious and won deiful formation of rock and gorge, it certainly is one of the most remarkable and interesting spots to be seen. Clifton Springs is another sort of place ; a calm, quiet, sacred health retreat; presided over by a big hearted Methodist; thronged by Chris tians of every denomination,'all alike welcome; central in location, easy of access, comfortably full always, crowded and running over in the summer, with its pleasant chapel, its frequent meetings; its ample reading room, its well-ap pointed gymnasium, its cool groves, its varied baths, its healing waters, its well-furnished tables, and all conducted in the interests of benevolence —these make it gm best possible home for the invalid and the weary. Our. own• clergy are always largely represented among its guests, and do much to give tone to its pleasant society, It is one of the best places in the world in' Which to rest and recruit for the fall and winter cam paign in the crowded city.' PERSONAL, &o.—Auburn is certainly one of the most beautiful places on this continent. A glance at its streets, at the ; present we e are also a rapidity of 'growth , stiell — as we j are accus tomed to expect from Western towns alone; with this difference—here everything is substantial, indicating steady advance an permanent pros perity. It is not of the shinty, Cheyenne style, nor like " a lodge in a garden of cucumbers," to b e removed when the summer is over. Five years ago this infant city was reckoned at ten or twelve thousand inhabitants, now it has sixteen thousand. The building of the First Church is also pro gressing finely. Dr. Hawley, the pastor, is ab sent on his summer vacation, at his usual retreat, the Catskill Mountains. Dr. Condit is most ac ceptably supplying his pulpit. Dr. Huntington it still supplying in Baldwinsville, except for a Sabbath or two while the church are enjoying the ministrations of their former pastor, Rev. J. F. Kendall. Rev. Henry Fowler, of the Cen tral Church, we are sorry to say, is still in bed. He was more seriously prostrated on the 4th of July than we had supposed. Although slowly recovering, he is still a great sufferer. And this is the hardest thing he ever had to do, to stop work. Dr. Herrick Johnson is expected to spend a part of his summer in Auburn, and the people of the First Church are expecting to hear his magic voice for a few Sundays in their pulpit. Rev. Geo. Freeman, one of the oldest members of the Rochester PreSbytery, finished his earthly course, 'at hill late residence in Parma Centre, on Sunday last, aged about 73 years. He has not preached much of late years, but has been spending the, evening of his days on a little, farm. He was a good man, taking a deep in terest in all that pertained to the welfare of our churches. He has been failing in health for' some months, conscious that the end was near.; but more than peaceful; full, indeed, as he said•, of " strong consolation." GENESEE. Rochester, August 1, 1868. REUNION ITEMS. Rev. Dr. Beatty, the accomplished chairman of the . Reunion Committee of the other branch and one of the wisest and best men in the body, writes to The Presbyterian as 'follows "The Pittsburgh Circular requests the Commit tee on Re-union to confer with the other Com mittee; and'the Presbyter has called upon me by naine, in conjunction with Dr. Adams, to call a meeting, of, the Joint Committee. . Private and personal appeals have also been made to me. . . . The CoMmittee of the NewSehool was continued by their Assembly, for certain purpo ses: Ours was not; but on the contrary, was virtually discharged by the acceptance of the re port, and completed action upon it. > There exists no such Committee of our Assembly. I have no authority to call them together; and if convened, there would be no right or propriety in our re commending, in any official capacity, any action for' the Presbyteries. The New School Commit= tee believe that they have 'no authority to go be yond or aside ' from their .Assembly, in sending down the Basis; nor would we have, if continued, as they have been. . . . In no form can this amendment come ,officially before the Presby teries. They 'must's:Let on the Basis sent down to them, and so they will do. Our Presbyteries must vote in the same way, because the' amend ment only became available if acted on by the other Assembly ;'lmit they may do as our ASsem= bly did: after such vote, express their preference for the ardendmmit, and it will have its -Niue weight with both brandies of the Church. . . . Those of our Presbyteries which are willing to go into a union with the -New School on the Term's sent'down, will vote aye; those who are unwilling will vote nay; their preference for ' , tile amendment having nothine , to do with' this deci sion immediately. , But, after it is•made; each may, on the one hand, express a preference z for the' amended Basia, and a wish to 'have ' •it :still urged before the other body by our next- Gen eral Assembly ; , &those who vote nay, may; -with equal propriety, declare their readiness, under such amendment as they see fit to suggest, to go into a union with the other branch. : . . It is to be expected • that such Presbyteries' as Blairsville, Philadelphia, and others, whose com missioners voted against the Basis, will vote no. But that any number of, Presbyteries whose re presentatives voted in favor, should vote adVersely, and because they prefer the amendment, is scarcely to be expected; and certainly not to be desired. They mistake, if they suppose such 4 course will tend to secure the concurrence of the other branch. Just the contrary." At present, the most manifest diffiCUlty seems in settling the basis. One of the bodies wishes that adopted' and recommended by the Joint Committee, prbfessedly taking the sykem of truth set forth in the Westminster Confession as the system of faith, but allowing every Man to explain and illustrate its different parts as seems best to himself, [!!!] thus opening up the way, it is painfully felt by many; for an alMost endless variety, in the same body, of doctrines, and teachings, and even practices, pyobhbly, in regard to many of the most momentous truths of our most holy faith. This may be contended for as the right or liberty of every man. But if a man want§ entire liberty why go into any church organization at all ? Why have a system of truth unless there is some uniformity of vithva and teachings and binding obligations in regard it? What is a body worth where there is no real' one ness of faith. and principles—the main-spring of acts? How can two walk together except they be agreed ?-=Christian Instructor. [A specimen of the magnanimous way in which some of United Pitsyterian brethren are helping on the cause of Presbyterian Union.] It is said that the Indians are unable to com pute the value of large, sums of money, and, in selling their commodities, prefer receiving a small sum that they can exactly estimate to a' much larger one to which they are unable to aftadi any definite value. Is not their case parklrel with that of the opponents of Reunion in our Church? They are willing to receive to their communion a member, a Presbytery, or even a whole Synod upon its acceptance of our Confession of Faith as the standard of religious faith and practice, yet hesitate, falter, and finally decline to receive the entire dhurch upon precisely the same terms. Is it not simply 'the magnificent scale upon which this union is about to be accomplished that daz zles these apprehensive Christians ? Do they not rather pause before the large aggregate of num bers involved in the proposed accession th,ar(l)e fore any imagined danger to the purity of .the faith in the future Presbyterian Church,? They are not able to compute the active forces of this United Church, or the grand momentum of its future influence, and so timidly decide that Reunion is, for the present, impracticable.—" W. .M., of Schuyler Presbytery" in, The Presbyterian Banner. I believe that this Union, so called with the New School, if accepted by our people, will be the hardest blow, that ever struck our branch of the Church—not that it will obliterate the Old School body, but corrupting a part, it will involve the whole in the most angry contentions to last, none can say how long, before the Old School could emerge from the confusion. The honest and hopeful way to oppose, it is for all, who are truly against it, to plant themselves on open and absolute refusal to unite with the New School as a body, on any basis whatever, though welcoming all suitable persons who wish to come to us from them. Let us take that position, maintain it to the last, and having done all, to stand. If overpowered by numbers, disown the union, and claiming to be the Old School Presby terian Church, make that claim good, with the help of God, before the Christian world. . . . As to our poor church. in Kentucky, it is too. small and too weak to stand up under the pres sure, not to say the odium, which this alliance must induce. It must be avoided, either by the defeat of the measure, or by separation from those who will force it on us; or our churches, with few exceptions, not twenty •in the Synod, will waste away and go down.— W. L. Brecken ridge in The Western Presbyterian. Among the provoking things that our news papers come to tell us of, is the side movement now making by some of our Old School brethren to defeat the plan of Reunion recommended by the Joint Committee. If this well-meant but ill-timed " Alleghany" plan results in disorgan izing and defeating the whole scheme of reunion, then upon the Old School must rest the respon sibility. We earnestly hope that our New School Presbyteries will unanimously approve the Com mittee's plan—which in no vital regard differs from the eleventh hour project whiCh is now sprung on us by our Philadelphia and Alleghany. brethren. Thus far nearly all the logic-chopping and hair-splitting has been on the Old School. side. We had reason to be thankful for the un] animity and good humor that have been displayed. by the " heretical " New School men from the beginning. And if the wise and fraternal pro posals for reunion are defeated, our side will not be the greatest losers.—Dr. Theo. 1,. Culler in The Evangelist.- • • [Had " S. M. 0." writing of the First Church Philadelphia] known the antecedents of the Rev. Mr. Johnson, he would hot have been so much surprised. Mr. J. was a student under Dr. Hall, of Auburn, New York, and, like his worthy pre ceptor, has had a good reputation': from the com mencement of his ministry for sound Calvinism. Even when a student, he acquired a reputation for strict orthodoxy. Had our good brother been in'the same'place of worship a few Sabbaths pre viously, he might have heard a' sermon from an Old School : minister, even a College Professor, so lax. in its doctrinal statements as to call forth expieSsiOns.of dissent and disapproval even [sic] from Mr. Barnes. Philosophers do not deduce a general principle froth a single fact.— The North Western PrCsbyterian. [Dr. Hodge at Albany, said : "Do not their men teach these doctrines? Some say that three fourths, others that one-half, of them do not. But the question is not how many r The principle is do any?" It's a poor rule that wont work both ways.] COLLEGE RECORD, YALE CO'LLEGE.—The Baceariureate sermon was preached by President Woolsey, July 19. The coneio ad derum by Hon. and' Rev.

BEREA COLLEGE, KY.—The second •anniver sary exercises odcurred on the 2d of July. The annual examinations were held on the three pre ceding days.

Ad dresses, .were made , by President Fairchild, of Oberlin, - Secretary Cravath, of Cincinnati; .and Rev. Mr. Brown, of Talladega, Ala. At the• an nual meeting of the Trustees, an additional pro fessorship was established, and arrangements made' for erecting at .once another dormitory -to accommodate the students who are flocking to iflerua. The prospects of this " Oberlin - of the South;" , as it-s-often ealled, were never before tricore::eutlouragin:4. WESTISAVISTER' COLLEGE, MISSOURII—Rev. N. L. Rice, D.D., has lately accepted the Presidency, and enters upon his duties at the commencement of next term. A Theological department is to be connected with the College, which is possessive of the " Declaration and Tes timony" Synod of Missouri. The Trustees in notifying Dr. Rice of his election say : " We do ask Dr. Rice to take any part of the controversy between the Synod of Missouri and the General Assembly, but express the opinion that it is es sential to his own usefulness and to the success' of the institution, that he should unite with one of the Presbyteries in connection with the Synod which we represent." Dr. Rice replies : " Whilst I did not approve of the paper called the Declaration, and Testimony, I am sure that no thing but the terrible state of feelinc , then exist ing could have induced our Assembly to pass the extraordinary series of acts in relation to the signers of it. Let us pray and hope, that as the acerbity of feeling shall pass away, our Church will fall back into the old channel, and thus unity be restored." PERSONAL. - Mr. Grote, the historian of Greece, has been elected President of the Lon don University College, in place of the late Lord Brougham.—Rev. John P.

For anything said in that connec tion to the contrary, their young readers must be growing up under the conviction that a life spent in the most unscrupulous stock gambling, provided it divides its profits with theoloctical seminaries, is as short a cut as can be found to a comfortable competence and a religious reputa tion. So with other cotemporaries, who have so long chanted the praises of their brother who shared the fortune made in his breweries with the splendidly endowed female college which bears his name to posterity.
