gfosionati! Items. At Marsovan, a little S. of tbe Black Sea, a new Evangelical Conference, practically a Con gregational Association, was formed in December by the missionaries of the American Board. It is to have power to found churches; to license, ordain, and dismiss preachers; and to have an oversight of the churches—advise, help, counsel. This “ Union ” as it is called, extends over a ter ritory half as large as New England. Any pastor or church (by its delegate) may be received into it by assenting to its rules, provided a majority of the members consent. —The veteran Missionary, Schneider, has re moved from Aintab to Broosa. It was from Broosa that he came, more than twenty years ago, to carry on the marvellously successful Aintab mission, immediately after its organization. Broosa is on the Sea of Marmora nearly opposite Constantinople. Of the work among the Bulga rians it is said that the American missionaries have gained a strong hold upon all classes of this people. The consciences of thinking men are with them. —The Beirut Protestant College numbered in January 67 students, of whom 46 are in the lit erary and 21 in the medical department. The latter all pay their fees in full, and as these, for the new class, are quite heavy, for this country, (viz., 10gold medjeedies, value about $4.50 each), we consider this a gTeat success in the direction of self-support. —-Among instances of the liberality of native Christians, we observe that at a meeting of con verts at Ahmednuggur many came forward with offerings to the Lord, which they laid on the ta ble, until it was nearly covered with silver and copper money, ornaments, etc. There was no ef fort made to secure this collection—not even an invitation. Effort was made to induce each Chris tian to give the tenth of his income, and to give it as th e first payment out of any receipt. Many have failed to fulfill the promises they made last year, at the ordinations of pastors. —Dr. Gould, of Swatow, thus speaks of the work among the women of China: Boat-loads of women, of advanced years, some of them able to read, have come in from country towns, bringing food for their own use with them, and desiring to he instructed in the gospel. They take up their residence for the time, in the mission compound. They appear sincere and earnest, and numbers of them have been baptized. These women belong to the Buddhist religion, and abstain from ani mal food. They form themselves into a little so ciety, or sect, as is very common among both men and women in all parts of China. What is rather singular is the fact, that the leader of their sect, some years since, when dying, told her followers they were to receive teachers from the western lands, and enjoined upon them to listen to their instructions. Mr. Peet, of Poohow, says: “We are looking with much interest for Miss Payson, of whom mention has been made in the Herald, and hope others may soon follow to help us in our work here. A wide field for missionary labor, among the women in particular, is becoming more apparent.” —The Zulu students are remarkably proficient in geography. They draw beautiful maps, and print the names so that you would think them printed maps. —The Siamese ara.vaiy fen J of mnaso.‘ Xf tlie missionary wishes to call the passers-by to his dwelling, he, or his wife, has only to play some simple air upon the harmonium, and presently his verandah is full of, delighted listeners. The crowd is sometimes so large that many have to stand out in the yard. . . The King came to hear “ the foreign music box” and gave as a site for one of the Laos stations of the 0. S. Board, a fine lot, 300 x 260 ft., and will not allow the missionaries to pay for two native houses upon it, but will pay for them himself. The mission had previously gone through great trials. —The missionaries in India find a great dif ference between the Mohammedan and the re maining part of the population in their preaching tours. The latter often come in great crowds, listen with eagerness and even with tears to the story of the cross, while not unfrequently a Mo hammedan audience will rise and leave uncere moniously at the first intimation of a Saviour greater than the prophet. —ln a missionary point of view the American Christians are second to none, their enterprising nature peculiarly fitting them for the work of evangelization in remote,'and, we may almost say, inaccessible countries.— Miss. Gleaner. —Rev. E. Carnes, of the 0. S. Board, says, Dec. 27, that doors of usefulness in Japan are opening faster than they can enter; that several of the Japanese youth seem to be anxious enqui rers after the truth, and that the attendance on the Sabbath services was increasing. —Dalmatia, a part ef Austria opposite Italy, is receiving the pure Gospel through an Evan gelist of Bari, a native of the former country. The Christian World gives part of a letter from this Evangelist which says:—“ For a month I have been residing at Spalatro, and living in the old palace of the Roman Emperor. Diocletian, the .fierce persecutor of, the early Christians. Here still exists the horrible tower where thousands of those who had the courage to profess openly and boldly the despised name of Christ Jesus were murdered.” Although the priests oppose'him, the evangelist is encouraged. , •* ' —The receipts of the A. and F. C. FT. for ■January were $6,403.85. —The missionaries of the Reformed Presbyte rian Church of Sootland, in the New Hebrides Islands, oomplain that the natives are decoyed away and practically reduced into slavery to un principled white men—Englishmen we believe— who own lands in other parts of the South Seas, particularly in Queensland and the Fiji Islands. Advices from the Sandwich Islands to Feb. 20, via. San Francisco,, htarch 11, speak of the Coolie trade as in operation, and say it is authorized by an act of tbe.liCgialature of June last. The Board of Immigration had dispatched a vessel to the smaller .Polynesian Islands for a cargo of natives. The missionary authorities were prohibited from sending letters and papers by the vessel lest they should give warning of its purpose, which created a great deal of ill-feeling. The movement failed to meet the approbation of the United States,. Minister, and it was expected that the Govern ment of the United States would interfere afid 1 prevent the forced importation of natives of the neighboriig islands. . j THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 18,1869. —The London Missionary Society, Indepen dent, reports an income of £97,618, of which £13,746 were from the Missions. It has 116 stations, 159 English missionaries, 63 ordained native pastors, 660 native preachers, 29,847 members, 159,650 adherents, 614 schools, and 30,960 pupils.

As 500 miles of the western portion of the line, beginning at S 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 Government of 12,800 acres of land per mile, the Company is entitled to subsidy in U. S. Bonds on i l'ne as completed and accepted, at the average rate of ftbou $26,500 per mile, according to the difficulties encountered, for which the Government take a second li«n as security. Whether sub sidles are given to any other companies or not, the Governmen will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which the Cotnr 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 the same aiurant as the Government Bonds, and no more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole road and all its equipments. THEY HATE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT., and both PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD. Such securities are generally valuable in proportion to the length of time theyhave to run. The longest six per cent gold interest bonds of the U. S., (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 leas 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 the work will doubtless carry the price to a large premium. SECURITY OF IHE BONDS. It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage Of $26,500 per mile upon wliat for a long time must be the only railroad con necting the Atlantic and Pacific States is perfectly secure. The entire amount of the mortgage will be about $30,000,000, and the interest $1,800,000 per annum in*gold. The present corrency cost of tins interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum, while the gross earnings for the year 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, ou AN AVERAGE OF LESS THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERA TION, WERE MORE THAN FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, The details ef which are as follows: Prom Passengers w Freight - “ Express « Mails.-.. “ Miscellaneous “ Government troops... *•' M freight... “ Contractors* men « . jualertal This large amount is only an indication of the immense traffic that mußt go over the through line in a few months, when the great tide of Pacific coast travel and trade will begin. It is esti mated that this business must make the earnings of the road from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR. As the supply of these Bonds will soon cease, parties who desire to invest in them will find it for theirinteresttodo so at once. The price for the present Is par and accrued interest from Jao. 1, in currency. A NEW PAMPHLET AND MAP was issued Oct. Ist, containing a report of the progress of the work to that date, aud a more complete statement In relation to the value of the Bonds than can be given in an advertisement, which will he sent free on applica tion at the Company’s offices or to any of the advertised agents.
