Brother Hughes is preach ing here ;—lives in a tent and takes his meals out. Your Sodom—Cheyenne —is a paradise beside this place. Bro ther Hughes, or any minister, that can stay here, is a hero whom I greatly admire. The town is an arid, sage-rbush, alkali plain—no water, ' no anything,' but people and dust. I al ready long to get away from it. The town is terrible—the thermometer reported this A. M. at 110° in the shade. Breeze springing up this P. M. I spent last Wednesday at the Sweet Water mines. We ought to have a good man to go there.

Assembly report that it will require at least $685 000 to carry on the operations of the Boards of the Church for the year. The Committee says : " The number of communicants reported in the Minutes for 1868, is 252,555. Deducting one tenth as a proper allowance for those who are absent and for such as may be really too poor to pay even a moderate sum, and omitting the Synod of North ern India, there will still remain 227,000 communicants. This will give an aver age of a little less than $3.02 a year for each communicant, or not quite six cents a week, per member, to meet the sum re quired for all the Boards." Of the above sum $270,000 are for Foreign Missions, $175,000 for Home Missions; $47,000 for Education ; $43, 000 tor Publication ; $64,000 for Church Extension ; $40,000 for Disabled Minis ters, and $46,000 for Freedmen's Mis sions. —ln May, June and July the receipts of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions were $29,811, a gain of $5;239 as compared with 1868.

Both the Reformed and Lutheran bodies have largely *gone over to Rationalism ; and so strong has been 'the current that it has said to have even drawn in the Ev angelical Lutheran church in Ainster dam, which in 1791 separated itself and built a beautiful church, with the inscrip tion, " And they continued steadfast in the Apostles' doctrine I" Reunion Negotiations.— The Chris tian Instructor says Our readers will remember the warm discussion on the report of the Committee on Union with the other Presbyterian Churches, which took place in our-last Assembly. It was finally agreed to re-appbint the committee. The Old and New School Assembles re appointed their committees, and a meet ing was called by Dr. WWI], the Sec retary, to be held in Pittsburg, Pa., on Wednesday, the sthll inst < Although there were members, of the Committee from the U. P. Church present from the far East, far West and middle of the church, there was but one member from the other churches, Dr. M'Gill -of Princeton. Of course nothing . could be done, and the Convention, after some' informal conversation on the subject,: adjourned sine die." Educational. — Two scholarships have' been founded in Princeton Theological Seminary during the past year, one by a legacy of the late Mrs. Thorn, of Car lisle, amounting to twenty five hundred dollars, to be known as " The Susan H. Thorn Scholarship." Rev. Edwin Emer son, by the gift of U- S. bonds valued at twenty-nine.-hundred and twenty-five dollars,,has founded a scholarship, called the " Edwin Emerson Scholarship."— Presbyterian,. Foreign.—The journals of Prague contain accounts of a manifestation in that city on the anniversary of the death of John Huss. About 6,000 persons as sembled on a public square and went in procession, carrying lanterns on which were painted emblems of the Hussites— a chalice, a scourge, and the morning star—and preceded by a black flag with a red cross, to the statue of the martyr; there, after hymns had been sung and speeches made, the marble was crowned by a young girl. The police eventually appeared and dispersed the assemblage. —ln the• Free Chureh G . eneral As sembly' last May a report on Lay Evan gelistic work was received from a com PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1869. mittee of whisk Dr. Candlish was the chairman, arJ which had been studying the whole bearings of the scheme for the prev i o as twelve month. This Committee waF . , continued during another year, to enable them to complete their labors and bring in a perfected plan which should embrace all the needful and difficult de tails belonging to a branch of gospel preaching so hard to disembarrass from complexity and to relieve from the possi bilities of collision with the ordained ministry of the word. Meanwhile, they "strongly recommend ministers to be always on the outlook for persons pos sessing suitable gifts and qualifications for evangelistic work, and to do what they can to train them for this sphere of usefulness; and, when thus found and prepared, these persons should be "en-, couraged to labor in the district where they reside." The Committee further suggest that each of these evangelists should, on the recommendation of two ministers (one of them his pastor,) have his name recorded on the books of Pres bytery, and also on the list of preachers available for missionary work in the office of the " Home, Mission Committee," so that "agents. for evangelist work, well accredited, could , at once be procured for any district where their services might be desired." The Scotch Church is act ing cautiously in this matter; and the, subject being new and presentim , prob lems notpasy of prompt solution, iChas re solved to continue its investigation until all shall be known that can be. —The students of the Theological Hall of the U. P. Church of .Scotland have had for many years a missionary so ciety among themselves in which they annually select some object for which they will not only make contributions themselves, but they, will also, during their vacations, plead for it among the people and seek donations on its behalf. Last year this society resolved to un dertake the work of sending out ten thousand Bibles to the UniteeStates, to be distributed gratuitously, among, the Freedmen. The first part of this gift arrived from Glasgow in,New York a few days since, and our Government at Washington ha's announced that the whole donation of ten thousand Bibles shall be admitted free of all Custom duties and charges. Other Denominations. Episcopalian,—The Bishop of Ohio has, notified . the Rev. C. C. Tate that a new Court will be drawn on the 17th ,of. August, for his trial. The ,drawing will take place in the vestry-room of Trinity church, Columbus. No.new charge or presentment has been made. Bishop Illollvaine is reported dangerously ill. The Protestant Churchman says that he has lately prepared a letter more favora ble ,to the advocates of the revision of the Prayer-Book than the one which, he wrote some time ago. Its speeay puha-, cation is announced. —The N. W. Advocate says of the Cheney case : " The prosecution failed in, giving, him proper notice of trial, in denying him the right of challenge, in neglecting to specify his offence and in, other, particulars." It might be asked, "whether Mr. Cheney might not avail himself of an appeal to a higher spiritual court to correct the ,irregularities of the. lower. It appeared from the presenta tion, and to our great amazement, that this whole ministry are entirely without the right of appeal.. The only two things that at all resemble possible re dress in case of error or injustice are the privilege of application to the bishop for a new,, trial, and a charge against the bishop for maladministration." —Bishop Gobat, of Jerusalem, has established in Palestine alone 20 schools, containing 1,000 pupils, among whom there are Jews, Arabs, Abyssinians, Capts, Moslems, Druses; &c., including an orphanage for, the children of Chris tians whose parents had lost their lives in the Syria massacre. One of the most interesting students in the Jerusalem Diocesan School is an Armenian Arch bishop named Mekkerditch, who, con vinced of the errors of his Churn, has reft it, and is now learning English with a view:to Acquaintiug himself with English,theology and literature. —The John Bull learns that "it is thought ,by those well informed quite possible that the new Irish Church Body will unite with the Presbyterians, and thus give, practical, effect to Mr. John stone's statement that the Irish Church will le more Protestant than the EngliSh Establishment , . A London correspon dent states that the Archbishop of Ar magh is believed to be not unfavorable to this change." , , J-The Treekl& Register, organ of the Roman Catholics, learns from, an au thentic source that some seven or eight Anglican clergymen have determined to attend the General Council at Rome and obtain from the assembled bishops an au thoritative opinion respecting the validity or otherwise of their orders. Every en, deavor will also be made to form a union between a large, number of. Anglicans and the Catholic Church. These, gen tlemen have already put themselves in communication with several authorities at Rome; and have met with every en couragement ; they have determined to ask one of the English Catholic bishops to be their spokesman before the Coun cil." —Rev. W. W. Spear, D.D., has ac . cepted ,the call of St. Andrew's church Bridgeton, N. J. -- Conkreigationalist. -- s _tatistical. The 196 '-eriurehes in the General Con vention of Vermont have. 18,593 mem bers, againlof 423, being about half the accession on professsion. Of the churches eighty have pastors, and seventy five ac ting pastors, while there are fifty-five members unemployed. The benevolent contributions were $46,240. —The twenty-five churches in the Rhode Island Conference have ten pas tors ,and thirteen stated supplies. The membership is 4,025 ; accessions on pro fession 180. The benevolent contribu tions of scvneteen churches were $17,- 221. —The 189 churches in the Ohio State Conference employ 128 ministers and have 16,497 members. In five years there has been a gain of thirty-two churches and 5.051 members and $136,- 029 in monies contributed, _:The twenty-nine churches in .the General Association of Indiana employ twenty-five ministers, and have 1,392, members. Four new churches have been organized during the year and six added to the list of ministers. There has been an increase of three hundred membeis to the churches. A NEW ORGANIZATION. On Wednesday, July. 21st, Rev. S.• Hair, Rev. R. Patterson and Mr. James Christie, committee, organized the Pres byterian church of Plato, Kane county, 111., This church, originated in' the ac tion of the General ,Synod •of •the Re formed Presbyterian `Church in the case of Mr. George H. Stuart, and its re quirement of the Church Sessions to follow the example set by Synod. Lieu tenant McQueen, one of. General How ard's Staff during the the war, had enjoyed the privilege, occasionally, of at• tending Christian Commission meetings. On his return, home to the Reformed Presbyterian congregation of. Washing : ton, he had narrated his experience. He was required to acknowledge the sinful ness of his transgression in, sitting hymns not contained in. Rouse's Psalm Book, or at least to promise to refrain.from the sin in future.. He declined, saying Oat there might be another war, in which he might be very glad to have a Christian Commission to sing hymns with him : whereupon he was informed he could not consistently. be a mem ber of the. Reformed Presbyterian Church. His expulsion led to a petition to the Presbytery of Chicago for the or ganization of a Presbyterian •Church unshackled by the compulsory and exclu sive use of liturgies of modern invention; for this Rouse's hymn-book, thus made a term of communion, is hardly two cen turies old. Four, out of five elders, and thirty-two members'of the church, with drew, and were organized, into: the con gregation of Plato. The four elders were unanimously re-elected and - in stalled—namely, Messrs. Andrew Mc- Cormick, Sen.,' Samuel Eakin, William McCorthick and Alexander McCormick; It war) .air.ys. o . Nctk er ablo patriarch, Mr. McCormick, Sen., like Moses of old with his eye not dim, at ninety two years of age, coming forward at the head of his children and grand children to assert the liberty wherewith Christ had made him - free. Of pure covenanting ancestry, a member of the late Mr. Reid's congregation, of Newton Stewart, Scotland, he knew that the martyrs had composed hymns in prison, and had died sinving doxologies on, the scaffold, before :douse, or his version, was born. REUNION IN MT, a PLEASANT, PA. ,Preabyterians here are awaking on the subject of reunion. This now dis membered church, organized about the time of the Declaration of Independence, is the oldest of its name in NV estmorer land County. Under the care of its founder, Dr. Power, and others, it en joyed uninterrupted prosperity for more than three score years. At length the designations Old School and New found place on the tongues and in the hearts of the people. Then came, division, bitterness, strife and weakness. Nearly thirty winters of destructive separation have glided by. Many of the fathers slumber side by side in the 'undivided churchyard. Time has proved a balm for wounded spirits. Hope and duty turn our eyes toward the future And like bur brethren in other places, we now can see Jehovah's hand directing His people to the new. commandment. Accordingly on Saturdaylast, leaving 1 the fruitful fields and busy walks of: trade: the people flocked to the sanctuary. Dr. Donaldson, of Eldersridge, appro priately told us how Paul and Mark Were unfortunately alienated and happily re conciled. On Sabbaths morning unpre cedented nurtibeis came: Rev. W. T. W:ylie, of Newcastle, and Dr. Donaldson, presided at the communion table. Three hundred or more sat down at the feast of brotherly love. As the custom was in olden time, a few minutes were spent in, lunching, then the house was filled again. We sung "Blest be the tie that binds." An elder forgot his surroundings, and prayed for this church and congregation. Stirring addresses were made by brothers Donaldson and Wylie. At three o'clock the interest was unabated. . By a rising vote the people unanimously adopted the fol!owinc , resolutions Resolved, That we recognize with grat itude the hand of God in the steps which have been taken to secure organic union between the two General Assem blies of the Presbyterian Church in the United States; and that we earnestly im plore divine guidance in every step which yet remains to be taken. Resolved, That in accordance with the recommendation of the two General As semblies; we will as individuals and as churches study the things which make for peace ; striving to be helpers to each other, both in work and worship. Delighted with the exercises of the day, the audience retired to practice the duties embodied in the resolutions, and prepare for the joyful consummation of November next. ilk Pleasant, Pa., Aug. 6, 1869 WHEELER & WILSON'S LOOK-STITCH FAMILY SEWING MACHINE.
