Lion, Church Extension, and Ministerial Relief.—
Ki r . Joseph B, Mitchell, an elder in the First 0. S.
church in Germantown, (Rev. Dr. Knox'e,) recently
closed a long and useful career. He was President
of the Mechanics' Bank, Philadelphia, with which
institution he had been connectedon various offices,
for more than fifty years. Mr. Mitchell was, for
many years, member and an officer of the Board
of Publication, and did as much as any member of
the Board to establish it in its infancy, and bring it
to its present state of prosperity.—Mrs. Smith of
this city has erected a [Dutch] Reformed house of
worship in Norris, near Fairview, 111. It was
dedi
cated July 25.
Hopeful.—Dr. N. L. Rice -writes to , The North.
Western Presbyterian apropos of his acceptance of
the Presidency of Westminster College (Mo.),in the
Declaration and Testimony Synod I can scare
1y suppose that any intelligent Presbyterian 'expects
the divisions now, unhappily troubling two of our
Western Synods [Kentucky and Missouri] to be
permanent. The differences arose at a time of un
paralleled excitement,. and in 'connection with ques
tions not likely to arise, . ,In both
Synods [of Missouri] 1 have . warm friends; and
prominent men in both, have expressed the hope
that I Would accept the 'Presidency of the College.
And I was not a little cheered, When in 'St. Louis,
a few months since, to heir - Abu prominent lay:
men, on both sides, the desire Strongly expressed,
that the unity and peace of the Presbyterian - Church
in Missouri-may be-speedily restored. A fourth of
the time which has been spent in conferences with
the New School, spent in sincere efforts, for the
honor of the Lord, to heal our:divisions, would at
taro ? 1 am sure, the happiest results."
Ihe U. P. Presbyteries are in session. "In Mer

The Shenandoah Valley.Carliele Presbytery
at a special meeting ordained Mr. Geoi,-W.,Sulith,
and installed him over the phurch of Williamsport,
Md, The church has long been struggling for very
existence, and hope is now dawning. A correspon
dent of The Presbyterian Bannsr writes from Mar
tinsburg, Va.:
"Chiirch matters in this seetion'Were very much
disturbed by the war. . At onetime all the shurches
in this, place were closed but one, The bitterness
of party. feeling engendered
_by the war, or rather
perhaps the old feeling intensified by; the or
sof
these last few years—this feeling 'still remains in
many churches, more or 'less tolitsturtithe . general
harmony. Presbyterianism in this rilace is repre
sented by both n Northern'and a Southern Church.
The old church (Dr. Riddle, pastor,)' is Southern,
The fact, however, that thiscchurcfraccepts Dr. R.,
perhaps augurs well for the future. The influence
which his learning and ability will give him in the
Southern Church, will all he used, we trusit, for
conciliation and reunion. The neilroraiinization is
established on the basis of loyalty 'foTheold-Pres
hyterian Church of the .U.: S.; loyaltyvtothe.Govern,
ment, and peace and good will toward all men.
Our church here is the only one. in this region loyal
to the old Assembly. We are all (or re union. Our
membership represents hal f-a-dcizen different ' de
notniiiatiOns, and_ yet we dwell togetherin unity."
A Change of Base.---" The last' AsseMbly de
mined to recognize the Southsrn Church as a true
Presbyterian Church, whose ministers and members
are to be received precisely as those, coming from
other Presbyterian bodies. No confession of sin or
profession of repentance is to be required. The,
Assembly thus. ticknoWleclged tacitly, tide ctearl,y, :
that, he actd of'6s 'Wete 'Poritat, that tiitfe
6loutherri' ministers ah'd ChriStVi fie' Were 1 uilfy of
'sins. which forbade thaii'beingiresolved intot.our
Church, they are still; more guilty no w,:because .after .
ample time for zeileetion they persist-ins reculsing ,tp
confess and 'repent. .11,,the same ground had been
taken in 'B5, the Declaration and. Tisfirion.y, would
never have been heard'of; and theteerible divisions,
have almost ruined the Presbyterian Church
in Kentucky and Missouri would' never have oc
curred." •
The German Reformed Chnreh.—Taking the
statistics of the Eastern Synod for 1867, and those
of the Northwestern and Ohio Synods for 1868, we
find that the strength of the denomination. is ;
Synods 3; Classes [or Presbyteries] 31 ; Ministers
497; Congregations 1,165; M.enthers 112,556 Bap
tisms 11,589; Confirmations and' additions 91,21'9;
Sabbath-schools 957 ; S. S. 'scholars 41,23 ; con
tributions tcobenevolent purposes $75,072 47. The
Eastern Synod, where those who hold with Dr:
Nevin are in the majority, vastly outnumbers the
two combined.
SontlVlLMOrioa.—There are now in Brazil three
minieters connepted with the Southern Presbytrian
Church : Rev. W. C. Etnerson t of East Misaissippi;
Rev. lEfOlmes L'Har4ey, of East Alabama, and the
Rev. J. R. Baird, Of South• Carolina. The last has
reached !Rio de Janeiro, ;on his way to Santa
Barbartroafter a longiand rough voyage. Rev. G.

ish," as Milton expressed it.—The six Theological I
Seminaries Bangor, Andover, Yale, Hartford,
Oberlin, and Chicaeo—have 26 Professors, 11 lec
turers, and 271 students.—The difference of opinion
between Gen. Howard and others, and Dr. Boynton,
chaplain to the IL S. Senate, about admitting ne
groes to an ecclesiastical equality in the church in
Washington City, has led to the calling a council
to settle the dispute.—Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
have finished their commodious and elegant mis
sion building. The work was commenced with
$20,000, $15,000 being paid for' the land. Next
January, when the pews in Plymouth church are
sold; the surplus over the expenses of the church is
to be devoted to sweeping away the debt of this
mission. It is said that the order of deaconesses is
to be revived in Plymmith church. Some of the
deacons proposed it,. Mr. Beecher, approves, and
there are several sisters willing, to accept the office.
-Since the organizitiion of the Church at Macon,
Ga., in April last, twenty young colored people have,
been added to it by profession ; and the paStor write's
that they hardly know what it is to have .a dull
prayer-meeting.

SOME SYMPATHY AT LAST.
" Drowning men catch at straws," it is said,
and we have been reminded of this old proverb
by observing in the Ref. Pres. Advocate an ex
tract of the most abusive character from the
Christian Commonweolth, in justiEcation of t the
suspension of Mr. G. H. Stuart. It may not be
generally known that the Editor of the ",Com
monwealth," is the somewhat famoas Stuart Ro
binsim, D.D. whose secession proclivities led him
to slidepff to. Canada during the war, and whose
sympathies were so strongly then, as now, with
the , advocates and abettors of oppression and
wrong. It is not surprising at all, that Dr.
Robinson attempts to vindicate Dr. Stuart's sus
pension, but. that any, periodical bearng, the name
ofq"4,eformed Presbyterian" should i la
nd comfort
in such companionship,indicates that it has der
scended quite h)tv. Still;' as the Chlistian- press

800 MILES
UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
Are now finished and in operation. .Althongh ibis road is built
with great rapidity, the work is thoroughly done, and is pro
nounced by the United States Commissioners to be first-class
every respect, beforelt Is accepted, and before any bonds can
issued upon it.
Rapidity and excellence of construction have been secured t y
complete division of labor, and by distributing the twenty tiwa
sand men employed along the line for long distances at once. I
is now probable that the
Whole Line to the PACIFIC will
be Completed in 1869.
Tile Company have ample means of which ' the Government
grants the right of way, and all necessary timber and other mate
rials found along the line of its operations; also 12,800 acres of
land to the mile, taken in alternate sections on 'each side of its
road; also United States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting' to from
$16,000 to $lB,OOO per mile, according to the Meanies to be sur
mounted on the various sections to be built, for which it takes IL
second mortgage as security, and it is expected that not only the
interest, but the principal amount may be paid in service rendered
by the Company in transporting troops, mails, &c.
TILE EARNINGS OF THE UNION pecan°. RAILROAD, from
its Way or Local Business only, daring the year ending June pOth,
IF6B, amounted to over
Four Million Dollars,
which, after paying all expenses was ninch more than sufficient to
pay the interrst upon its Bonds. These earnings are no indication
of the vast through traffic that must follow the opening of the
line to the Pacific, but they certainly prove that
First Mortgage Bonds
upon such a property, costing nearly three times their amount,
Are Entirely Seath.e.
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for $l,OOO each,
and have coupons attached. They bear anneal interest, payable
on the first days of January and July at the Company's office in
the City of New York, at the rate of six per cent. in gold. The
principal is payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, and at
the present rate of gold, they pay a liberal income on their cost.
A very important consideration in determining the value of
these bonds is the length of time they hare to rites.
It is well known that a long bond always commands a much
-higher price than a short one. It is safe to assume that during
the next thirty years, the rate of interest in the Gutted States will
decline ns it has done iu Europe, and we have a right to expert
that such six per cent. securities as these will be held at as
high a premium as those'of this Government, which in 1557, were
bought in at from 20 to 23 per cent. above par. The export de
mand alone may prodirce - this result and ae the issue of a private
corporation, they are beyond Chi reach of political action.
The Company believe that these Bonds, at the present rate, are
the cheapest security in thimarket,.and the right to advance the
price at any time is reserved. Subscriptions will be received in
Philadelphia by
DE HAVEN & BRO.,
BOWEN & FOX,
SMITH, RANDOLPH & CO.,
and in New York
At the Company's Office, No, 20 Nassau Street,
Jobn J.rCisco dt Son, Rankers, lie. 59 Wall St.,
And by the Company's advertised agents throughout the
United States
Remittances should be made in drafts or,other funds par in .I%a
Fork, and the Bonds wild be sent free of charge by return esprees.
Parties subscribing through local agents, will look to them, for their
safe delivery.
A PAMPULET AND. MAP FOR 1868 has just been published I.y
the Company, giving fuller information than is possible in an ad
vertisement, respecting the Progress of the Work, the Resources
of the Country traversed by, the Road, the Means for Construction
and the *alms of .the Bonds; ivhich will be sent free on application
at the Company's Offices or to 'any of the advertised agents.
