(lOLVWlS SMITH ON THE A LA 11 A MA QUESTION. Js'orow r.HFi I. nation on tlieKlolel more anxious to avert aft.irnntlc war than the United States. Tlw rallying cry of the last Presidential o:in pain wno, "Let us have pence." Tlic American people nre strangely iiilsuiiilerntood by superfi cial observer. It requires yearn of provocation tu draff them into active hostilities. They fijrht the Indians only becauso they cannot cultivate their fields and extend their settlement without tlrivimr off the savnites. They fought (ireat Britain iu 1775 and 1812 mainly became she warred against their Industrial interests. The late wnr nrose from a desire iu the South to perpetuate nn antiquated and iufamoin labor system, and the .North reluctantly iook up anus ; because tho existence of the ltepublic was I ii,,.i.riilP(l. Orators tnnv fume Iu the Senate or ,.i u tnr vn. without irun beinr fired or , ..... , I limn of blood beinir smiled. Hut when a iron- tier settler is massacred, and Ins neighbors be come alarmed by the fear that they, too, will in turn be assailed, the red men must beware! When an overt act follows u long train of insults and Injuries heaped upon a patient peo- ' pie, tho slumbering spirit of the nation bursts j out, as it did In the Revolutionary period, after Lexington: in the second war with Great Britain, after the search and seizure of our vessels; and In the North, after the Rebel batteries were opened on Fort Sumter. The people want nothing better thau a fair chance to work, without being assailod, or oppressed, or insulted, or wronged. They are not lured away by vain dreams of foreign conquest, nor prone to enter upon wars of revenge or propagandism. They have reso lutely refrained from interfering In the affairs of other countries, and ask only to be allowed to attend to their own business. They set tip no pretentions like those arrogated by Great Britain to rule the seas, and to greedily clutch possessions in all distant portions of the world with one hand, while, with the other, they are setting bounds to the progress of their neighbors. They never estimated more highly the blessings of peace thau at tho present moment, while the recollection of the late war, with all its attend ant horrors, is still fresh, and while the burdens of the debt are still pressing heavily upon every tax-payer. And yet the whole Eng lish press is teeming with endless discus sions of the probabilities aud prospects of a war with the United States because, forsooth, the insulting and ridiculous Alabama treaty was rejected, and because an American Senator an- I nouneed that we did not inteud to be humbugged by a piece of roast-beef and plum-pudding diplomacy. Even Goldwin Smith, who, residing among us, should have known better, luu fol lowed the cuo of the London alarmists and fur nished a new current to their tempest iu a tea pot by writing from Boston to the British metro polis that he holds himself "prepared for a turn of affairs which would oblige English residents to leave this country!" Aud, not satisfied with this exhibition of timidity, lie has recently de livered a speech at Ithaca iu which he gave utterance to the foreboding that even now "the Angel of Death may be setting his mark, with unseen hand, on the door of many an American and English home." All this talk is either arrant nonsense or some thing still more contemptible, an attempt to pre vent by British bluster the newly-appointed American Minister at the Court of St. James, Mr. Motley, from entering into a calm and statesmanlike discussion of tho existing dispute1. The Alabama claims have so long remained un adjusted that further delay is a matter of com paratively littlo importance to us; and if Great Britain can afford to allow tho question to re main open, and to permit her own conduct du ring the Rebellion to become an established pre cedent for our imitation when John Bull's ox happens to be gored, there Is littlo necessity for any further discussion of the subject. For years our Alabama claims were scouted by the British Ministry. It was only when the Fenian movemout showed how easily the weapons turned against us lu tho hour of our calamity could be employed for the cap ture of Canada or the liberation of Ireland, that British statesmen were seized, not with remorse or regret, or a desire to do us justice, but with a fear Hint the day might be near at hand when they would be Imperilled by their own destruc tive devices. They could well afford to pay us a few millions ay, hundreds of millions to balance the old account, and to restrain us for ever from doing for tho rebels agalust (ireat Britain the kind service they rendered to the rebels agaiu6t the United States. This country has Bought no war, and will seek none. It re mains with Great Britain to close the present controversy or to suffer it to remain open. If her action was right and her conduct irre- proachable, she has nothing to fear, for at the worst we will only follow her own rule. But if she was wrong, and is sincerely anxious to atone for her Iniquity, let it bo accurately measured. If your crown is cracked, and your adversary proposes to heal your wounds by giving you a farthing as damages, to prevent retaliation, he adds insult to injury, and you sacrifice your self respect Ly accepting his paltry compensation. You should either play the part of the good Christian aud forgive him freely, or if the quarrel Is, as in tho present lust mm, an old one, bear tho grudge iu mind and keep yourself free to settle it in your own way at your own convenience. Tho latter policy Is precisely what Great Britain fears, and her journals and orators are annoyed only because wo have shown our unwillingness to accept her paltry shilling. THE PJIESB YTEHIA N C1I I'll CUES. In the year 1084 Francis Makcmie, a Presbyte rian clergyman who came to this country from Ireland, organized a church at Snow Hill, Maryland. From this begiuuing has sprung a religious denomination which at the present day is divided into about a dozeu branches, each with a distinct and Independent organization, including lu their ranks 75J1 clergymen and a membership, according to tho latest statistics, of yj5,716. At various timiis divisions occurred iu Hie denomination, the most Important of them being that which separated tho largest branch of the Church luto what are generally termed the Old School and tho New Sclutol sections. Tho schism resulted Loin a dispute concerning the publication of the American Homo Mis sionary Society, tho General Assembly of 1817 having adopted a series of resolutions con demning the works Issued by this society as tending to promulgato vlows which were not altogether orthodox. Foil. of tho presbyteries of the Church upheld the society and Its publi cations, and tho General Assembly adopted an other resolution exscinding or excommunicating them and their reprosontatlves.. When the General Assembly of 18H3 met, representatives from tho four exscinded presbyteries pre sented themselves, but wcro denied admis sion. This action resulted In tho formation of tho so-called New School Assembly, composed of tho representatives of tho four excluded pres byteries and of such others as sympathized with them. The breach has become wider and wider until the present time, when the membership of tho New School connection, as will be seen from the statistics ghen below, fulls about one-fourth only below Hint of the Old School branch. The lose of the great Rebellion witnessed a general tendency among the membership of all bodies, civil, social, and benevolent, us well as religious, towards union. This lias especially been the case among the various branches of the Presbyterian Church, and several movements looking towards a harmonious combination of all these sections have been Inaugurated. The one which presents the strongest prospect of fulfil ment, and which is pre-eminently desirable as a working busls for the final union of all the branches, is the proposed settlement of the dif ferences between the Old and New School con- ncctlons, on a platform upon which both I.,... brandies can take a common stand. The Gene ral Assemblies of these two connections arc now In session in New York city, and it is understood that a large Miare of their time and attention will be devoted to the discussion of the terms of union heretofore proposed, which arc givcu in full in our news columus. The friends of reli gious harmony and concerted action for the moral and social elevation of the human race have good cause to anticipate the best results from the contemplated union, if it should bo achieved: aud as the ablest and most influential men in both Assemblies arc committed to tho project, its prospects arc of the most flattering character. As a matter of interest iu this connection, we give the number of ministers aud members in each branch of the Church, according to the latest and most reliable returns. The size of the two denominations styling themselves the Re formed Protestant Church, but known popularly as the German Reformed and Dutch Reformed, are also given, as they arc practically brandies of the Presbyterian Church, aud there is some prospect that they may iu time be brought into the united fold. The names and extent of the vaiious branches arc as follows: Minister, Membern. ai,.VH 437,242 65,012 8.4S7 7l,49 10,01)0 6s2,f.:t9 69,!503 Old School New School ,i Total, two inula branches 1'niteil Presbyterian Reformed IVvsbyterian Cumberland Presbyterian Southern Presbyterian Other brandies , 1S70 4200 401 77 . .

THE UNIVERSITY AND THE CITY. Yi:sn:i:i.vv, in Select Council, after an animated discussion of the ordinance to sell a portion of the Almshouse property to the University of Pennsylvania, which passed Common Couucil last week, was deferred for three weeks. Thero was a very vigorous opposition to the project in Select Council, and we hope that before tho matter comes up for discussion again, tho mem bers will give it their careful consideration, so as to be able to speak and vote upon it intelli gently. The great bugbear with some of the members appeared to be that in selling the tract of ground to the University at the proposed price, one hundred aud sixty thousand dollars for twenty acres, the city would not realize as much for it as under other circumstauces. Leaving out of the question the duty of tho city to deal with the utmost liberality iu a case of tliis kind, wc believe that the amouut offered by the University will be acknowledged to be a fair equivalent for the land under existing cir cumstances. As Mr. Smith of the Tweuty sccond ward remarked, the opposition to the measure was based upon fictitious values, and there was no one to offer a dollar for the laud until the University proposed to purchase it. The very f;lct ' tue University having made a proposition of this kind immediately put up the value of the land, and Councils should not seek to take advantage of the circumstance in dealing with an institution of learning which is an ornament to the city, aud which should re ceive ull possible encouragement from tho pub lie. So long as the Almshouse remains where it is, the Blockley property will be depreciated in value, and the location of the University buildings on a portion of the tract of land will be the first and most effectual step towards pro curing tnc removal oi tuo Aimsnouse ana en hancing the value of all the property in the neighborhood, A few years ago Councils agreed to give the Pciin Squares to certain institutions fornothlng, upon a very uncertain understanding that tho public were to derive some benefit from tho operation. Tho same objections that existed in that case cannot be urged agalust tho selling of a section of the land on the west bank of the Schuylkill for a fair valuation to the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, and it does not become the city of Philadelphia to put itself in the position of a land speculator in an affair of this kind. The University has received very littlo eneou ragemeut and support at the public expense, and considering the important Influences that such an institution exerts iu a community, the least that can be asked is that the dealings of the city with it shall be conducted iu a spirit of libe rality. xuv .iucM.u.1 ... uie minds of some members oiccieci council seems to be a certain iniuio timu uw.m..u u.u treasury In dollar und cents mat inuiiit possibly bo gained by the dis kjmii ui miiu iu quusiutU in some other manner.

Tho University authorities aro exerting themselves with energy to raise their Institution to tuo highest rank among the colleges of tho country, aud tho citi zens of Philadelphia aro immediately iuterested lu their efforts. New buildings, with ample grounds, have become imperatively necessary if the University is to make auy decided advance, and it 1 i80 neces sary that they should be situated within the limits of the built-up portion of the city. The Almshouse grounds, which It pro poses to purchase, arc of no particular use at present, and they offer the only location suit able for the purposes of the University. It Is perfectly proper that Councils should give this matter careful consideration and deliberate discussion, and in the three weeks that will elapse before it comes up again for considera tion there will be amplo time for reflection, and nn investigation of the subject In all Its bearings. We believe that the city would be the gainer by concluding the proposed bargain, and wc hope that the action of Select Council will be onlv Influenced by a spirit of liberality, and u desire for the real benefit of the public' who projected the i:rinr railroad Sisck the completion of that Rrcat national enterprise, the question which forms the cHpilon of this article has been asked a hundred times, and as many times answered bv dim-rent an- ttiorlties In dim-rent States. npw York claims (iecrRe Wilkes; Missouri claims Henton; Georgia claims Toombs; other States claim others; and Gene ral Sherman, In his despatch to General Dodge .pub lished a few days since, claims for himself and Messrs. Seymour A Co., of San Francisco, the honor ol belnK among the first. Now since so many have claimed the honor of pro jectlnn this great undertaking, it mnv not bo out of place for the people of Pennsylvania, anil, In fact, the rest of the country, to know that to one of the old Keystone's most valued representatives Justly beloiiKS a position of prominence and credit among the men whose names will pass Into history as a part of the rramo work of this great national enterprise. Georjre Wilkes claims that he, as early as 1S44, wrote, suggested, and worked to forward the build ing of a rallroud to connect the Pacific with the At lantic. And In this Mr. Wilkes is probably correct, but we Hnd no official record of the matter until 1846-7, when Mr. Henton, lu the consideration of the Morse telegraph enterprlse.touched upon the subject, and the question still continued dormant. On .lune 23, 1S4N, however, the Hon. James Pollock of Penn sylvania, the present Director of the Mint, took hold of tho matter, with a vigor which did him und his constituents credit, and succeeded In having a com mittee, composed of the following-named gentlemen, appointed take hold of the subject: Hon. James Pollock, Hon.H. Toombs, Mr. McClel land, Hr. Hilllard, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Venubte, Mr. Tay lor, and Mr. Meluy. The committee investigated the matter fully, and, guided by the enthusiasm of Mr. Pollock, submitted a unanimous report favorable to the undertaking. The chairman, in reporting the action or the com mittee to the House, prefaced his remarks with the following language: "The proposition, at first, view, in startling onn. Tho magnitude of the work lUcll, und the still greater and more magnificent renal tu promised by its accomplishment that ot revolutionizing morally and commercially, if not politically, a greater part of tho habitable globe, aud nmV ing the vast commerce of tho world tributary to ub almost, overwhelm the mind. Hut your committee, on examina tion, tind it a subject as simple as it in vast and magnifi cent, and see no insurmountable difficulties in the way of its successful accomplishment." The report of the committee was accepted, but owing to the many difficulties which presented them selves (the almost unknown condition of the coun try being one), and Mr. Pollock soon after returning to private life, the matter was again permitted to sleep In Congress. Mr. Pollock, however, continued his advocacy of the subject, in private circles, and in a lecture delivered before a literary society of Lewisburg, is this State, made use of the following prophetic language: "Whatever questions may arise in your minds as to my sanity, I tell you now that there are ladies here present who will no doubt live to see the day that they will drink tea from China, which shall have been brought to their doors from the far-oil' Pacille coast by rail." The other day an invoice of tea was received at St. Louis which had been shipped at San Francisco but a few days before. Thus tho language of the young advocate was verified and his hopes fulfilled. In writing this we have no desire to take from or add to the record of any man, but are prompted by a desire to give honor where honor is due, ami to show to the people of Pennsylvania that, while the people of other States may be proud of the part they have taken in the great national highway, we, as Peiinsylvanlans, are In no way behind the rest, hut are fully up and, perhaps, ahead of others who make a greater ado over the matter.
