Presbyteries*
The Presbytery of Oswego, N. Y., met
at Fulton, January 26th, at 2 o’clock, P. M.,
and was opened with a sermon by Rev. H. N.
Millerd, Moderator, from Isaiah, Hi. : 7, after
which Rev. Thos. A. Weed was chosen moder
ator. There was nothing more than the ordi
nary routine of Presbyterial business, and a large
share of the time was given to religious exercises,
llev. W. B. Stewart, of Rochester, was heard iu
behalf of the American and Foreign Christian
Union, and it was Resolved, that we commend to
the churches of this Presbytery, the claims of
that society, and recommend that it be remem
bered in our annual contributions.
Rev. H. N Millerd and Elder D. W. Inger
soll were chosen as commissioners to the next
General Assembly, and Rev. T. A. Weed and
Elder Samuel Smith, Alternates. Rev. E. Sco
ville was chosen Commissioner to the Auburn
Theological Seminary for three years.
The narrative of religion speaks of revivals in
the churches of Williamstown and Mexico since
the week of prayer, and of a more than usual in
terest in the church at Fulton. The question
of Reunion called out some discussion, and it
was Resolved, That we prefer that the plan
overtured by the Assembly to the Presbyteries,
should be adopted, but, in order to facilitate the
object, if deemed best by the next General As
sembly, we give our assent to a union on the
basis of “ the Standards, pure and simple.”
The usual committees on Home and Foreign
Missions were continued, and stops were taken,
with a view to reclaim one of our churches,
which has for a long time been without the
stated ministrations of the Gospel, and is in a
very low state. The devotional meetings were
characterized by a good degree of interest, and
the session of Presbytery, though short, was one
of pleasure and profit.
The Presbytery op Utica met in Glayville,
ou the evening of the 25th, and was opened with
a sermon by Rev. P. H. Fowler, D.D., from
Matt, xxviii. 20. “Lo, I am with yon alway,
even unto the end of the world.” Rev. E. B.
Furbish was elected Moderator. A good num
ber of ministers and delegates were present. The
fallowing Commissioners were elected to represent
the Presbytery at the meeting of the next Gene
ral Assembly: Rev. Drs. T. H. Fowler and S.
W. Fisher principals, and Revs. E. A. Manly
and E. 0. Pritchett alternates. Elders
Torbet, M.D , and Gallup, M. 8., principals,
and Thos. Williams and R. S. Williams alter
nates. Rev. John Campbell was received from
the Presbytery of Trumbull. He is supplying
the Deerfield and South Trenton churches within
the bounds of our Presbytery. The pastoral re
lation existing between Rev. B. F. Willoughby
and the church of Augusta was dissolved. Mr.
Willoughby has received and accepted a call
from the church at S inquoit; over which church
he expects to be installed in May next. The
pastoral relation of Rev. C. Fitch and the Pres
byterian church of New York Mills was also dis
solved. Mr. Fitch is supplying a Congregational
church in Rockford in one of the Western States.
Rev. A. Erdmann, pastor of the Stone Presby
terian church of Clinton, N. Y., has received a
call from a Presbyterian church in Norristown,
N. J.,and also one from the Second Presbyterian
church of Cleveland, 0. Bro. Erdmann’s people
will very much regret to part with their young,
growing, and valuable pastor. It is expected
that he will aooept of one of these calls. May
Providence direct his steps aright.
The following resolution on Reunion was unani
mously passed.
Resolved, “ That this Presbytery approves of,
and gives its consent to, the Reunion of the two
branches of. the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America, either on the basis,
proposed by the Joint Committee of.thirty and
approved by the two General Assemblies meeting
in May, 1868, respectively‘at Albany, N. Y., and
Harrisburg, Pa.; or on that basis modified by an
omission of the 10th article and of the following
words in the Ist article—' It being understood
that the confession is received in its historical,
that is, the Calvinistic or Reformed sense. It is
also understood that various methods of viewing,
stating, explaining, and illustrating the doctrines
of the confession, which do not impair the in
tegrity of the Reformed or Calvinistic system are
to be fully allowed in the United Church, as they
have hitherto been allowed in the Separate
churches.”

Stated Clerk.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1869.
-Bullftiit.
RANDOLPH SAILER, ESQ,
At a congregational meeting of the Greenwich
St. Presbyterian church, the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, Our Heavenly Father has by a
dark and mysterious Providence removed from us
by death, our beloved friend and brother JRan
dolph Sailer, and Whereas, This church and Sab
bath school, owe, under God, their existence, in
great measure, to his energy, self-sacrifice and
liberality. Therefore, Resolved, That in this sad
and mournful event, we recognize the hand of an
All-wise, and All merciful God; whose thoughts
are not as our thoughts; whose ways are not as
our ways; and that we bow submissively to the
will of Him, who knowing the end from the be
ginning doeth all things well. Resolved, That
in the death of Randolph Sailer, this church has
lost an Elder wise in counsel, prudent in action,
conscientious in the discharge of every duty; a
I Trustee , to whose sound judgment, ceaseless effort
and generous contributions, we are indebted for
our present unembarrassed financial condition;
a S. S- Superintendent, to whose energy and self
sacrifice during the past seven years, this Sunday
school now numbering 450 scholars owes in great
measure its existence and success. Resolved, That
we heartily sympathize with the .widow of the de
ceased, and pray that that Jesus,; who sustained
her husband in his last moments may sustain her
in this hour of darkness, and'soryow. Resolved,
That these resolutions be published in the Amer
ican Presbyterian, and a copy of the same, sent
to the widow of our deceased brother.
Wm. Hutton, Moderator.
The Pastor of Calvary Chdroh, Rev. Z.
M. Humphrey, D.D., is bringing to a close his
series of sermons on the life of Christ. We
have been shown a card circulated among andby
the congregation, containing a statement of the
four concluding topics, under the general title:
11 The life of Christ,—its four closing conflicts.”
The first of the four, “ The conflict with humani- :
ty” was the subject for last Sabbath evening.
The remainder are: The conflict of soul, Luke xxii.
42., for next Sabbath: The conflict with death,
1 Cor. xv. 55., for Feb. 14th : The conflict with
the grave (same passage) for Feb. 21st. On the
card, several suitable passages of Scripture are
mentioned, in connexion with each subject, so
that matter for appropriate meditation and pre
paration is suggested to the hearers, some time in
advance. ■
—The serious and hopeful state of things an
nounced in the First and Green Hill Churches
continues, and in the latter especially has deep
ened to the most marked results. Special ser
vices for prayer and conference are continued in
both every evening this week, at the First
church at quarter before eight and at Green Hill
church at eight o’clock.
The Seventy-first Anniversary of the
organization of the First-Reformed Presbyterian
Congregation, Rev. T. W. J. Wylie pastor, was
appropriately celebrated in the; very large Sab
bath-school room of the church on Broad st., on
Thursday Evening last. Mr. George H. Stuart
occupied the chair; and a long .evening was de
lightfully spent in brief spirited addresses, sing
ing by the congregation, vocal and instrumen
tal music by an amateur Musical Society, and
a feast of good things, which in their, abundance
exceeded the capacities even of the,great throng
of participants. One of the marked; features of
the occasion was the presentation of a very hand
some Bible by the Congregation to Rev. Dr. J.
W. Fairies, who although holding the delicate
position of a minister in the congregation has
had the esteem and affection of the people for
many years.
—Lippincott has just published a new story
by the deservedly popular author, whose nom de
plume is “ Martha Farquharson.” The story is
founded on Waldensian history, and is called
“Casella, or the Children of the Valleys.”
On Thursday night, 21st inst., Rev. Peter
Stryker, D.D., delivered his lecture on “ Conver
sation ” in the First Presbyterian church, Mana
yunk. The house was well filled with an appre
ciative and delighted audience. The lecture was
not only of attractive points but of sound and
useful thought, practical and instructive. It was
a real treat to listen to a production chaste and
beautiful to a refined taste, sparkling with pleas
ant points yet without that miserable clap-trap
used for spicing public performances, and never
befitting the house of God. N.
—■ The fearful frequency of murder cases in
our courts within the last two months, must have
roused the apprehensions of our citizens. Scarce
ly is one off the calendar when another is called.
Mrs. Twitchell, as our readers are doubtless
aware, was cleared of all complicity with her
husband in the murder of her mother, the Com
monwealth’s Attorney having thrown up the
case, soon after the commencement of the trial.
Her mother’s property, which it is supposed was
the motive of the crime, will be her own. On
the 26th of January, a young man named James
Hagen was acquitted of the charge of nfurder,
almost solely upon medical testimony. He had
struck Frederick Winter, upon the head, and the
man afterwards died. The medical testimony,
as presented by the prisoner’s counsel, went to
show that
“ The deceased was diseased in heart and liver and
predisposed to apoplexy, and the flow of blood
which was the immediate cause of death, came
from the bursting of a blood vessel, produced by
his passion, surprise and emotion.”
The jury, in half an hour after the case was
submitted, returned with a verdict of “notguilty.”
Judge Allison, in discharging the prisoner, is re
ported to have said that
“He supposed the jury had been influenced in their
verdict by the cloud which the medical testimony
had thrown-around the case as to whether thedeath
of W inter was occasioned by the blow or by natu
ral causes. He reminded the prisoner how narrow
was his escape, and of the fact that it was at least
probable that he had caused the death of Winter.
He admonished him to refrain from giving way to
his violent passions, and told him that had he uot
established on the trial a good character for peace
and quiet, he should have been compelled to have
ordered him to enter bail to be of good behavior here
after.” "

“ How Shall I Regain My Health ?”
This is the mental question asked by the sick, and after repeated
failures. Have you used BRANDRETH’S PILLS! This is a medi
cine which simply “ clearses” —cleanses the blood and every organ
of the body. This “purgation” is sure to restore your health, if
pursued in accordance with the printed directions. One who has
recovered his own health by this means tells you to have courage
and do likewise. .1. J. Cook, publisher of the Banner for twenty
years, at Bennington, Vt., says, “Brandrrth’s Pills cured me of
dyspepsia when every other means had failed, and I was actually
given up by my physicians and friends.”

Dr. Brandreth —Dear Sir: I have been afflicted with scrofula for

expectedly came. I have used your pills lor Lhe last fifteen,

have been to me, and my health and strength are perfectly

1000 MILES
UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
ARE NOW COMPLETED.
As 600 miles of the western portion of the Inc, beginning at sa
cramento, are also done, but
267 MILES REMAIN
To be Finished, to Open the Grand
Through Line to the Pacific. This
Opening will certainly take place early
this season.
Besides a donation from the Governmentof 12,800 acres of land
per mile, the Company is entitled to subsidy in U. S. Bonds on its
“ “ mpl , et<,d and acce P ted - “ Average rate of about
*26,500 per mile, accordingto the difficulties encountered for whieb
the Government take a second li.n as security. Whether sub
sidies are given to «ny other companies or not, the Government
will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which the Com
pany will be entitled have already been delivered.
First Mortgage Bonds
AT PAR.
By its charier the Company is permitted to issue its own first
MORTGAGE BONDS to tbesame amount as the Government Bond,
and no more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage npon the whol.l
road and all its equipments.
THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT,
and both
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
PAYABLE IN GOLD.
Such securities at e generally valuable in proportion to.the length
of time they hawe to run. l'he longest six per cent gold intere.t
bonds of the V. 8, (the -Si’s) will be due in 12 years, and they are
worth 112. If they had 30 years to run, they would stand at not
less than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union
Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European in
vestment is already considerable, and on the completion of (he
work will doubtless carry the pyice to a large premium.
SECURITY OP 3HE BONDS.
It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of $26,500
per mile upon what for a long time must be the only railroad con
necting the Atlantic and Pacific States, is perfectly hecubs. The
entire amount of the mortgage will he about $30,000,000, and the
interest $1,800,000 per anuum in gold. The present currency cost
of tills interest is less tbau $2,500,000 per aunum, while the gross
earning, for the year 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on AN
AVERAGE OP BESS THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERA

This large amount is only an indication of the immense traffic
