RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. 'Reformed Presbyterian church. synod. The General •Synod of the Reformed Presby terian Church met in the First •Reformed Pres bYteritur Church (Dr. John Douglas's); in .Pltts. burgbi on Woineaday evening. Rev: W. 8. Brattou r the retiring Moderator, ascended the accompanied by Rev. Drs. S. W. Craw totd and J. N. McLeod. The congregation un:ted in singing the one hundredth Psalm; coin =teeing "Ail people that on earth do dwell." Rev., John N. McLeod, D. I)., of New York, then led in prayer, after which the assembly sang a 'part of the' forty-dui Psalm; from the lona verse : • • "Oh, daughter,at take good heed, Incline and give gooa car." Rev. Mr. Brattoll then announced his text,. Ileb. 10.23: "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He ,is faithful that promised." - After a short introduction, Mr. Bratton said a would consider his text under the following heads: First—Some things which should be held stead fast. Second—The manner in which this steadfast• mess is to be maintained. Third—Tho encouragement.given •to stimulate to hold fast. The Church and the Christian have a special duty to perform in maintaining the integrity of Divine truth—the inspiration of the Scriptures, and the inspiration, too, of :a faithful translation. The Church must maintain the integrity of Di vine worship. In regard to the manner of maintaining stead fastness, Mr. Bratton said it was to bo done by rigidly understanding the truth; by the exercise of a living faith; by unitedly sustaining the troth --keeping the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. At the conclusion of the sermon the congrega tion sang a chant commencing "The earth is the Lord's." The Moderator then opened the Synod in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, after which the body adjourned to.meet on Thursday morning at nine o'clock, Rev. Dr. Mc'dasters concluding by prayer• Second Day. Synod met at nine o'clock on -Thnrsdarmorn- Mg, and was opened with prayer by the Mode rator. Proceeded to ascertain the delegates from the different Presbyteries, when it appeared that the attendance was much larger than usual. Dr. Wylie asked Whether a certificate of dele gation should be received from the Second s,Pres bytery of Philadelphia, inasmuch as Synod does not know, officially, of its existence, as no report from the person commissioned to organize the .Presbytery bad been made, and the Presbytery whose certificate had been read was not the one that had been organized. The Moderator decided that the certificate was prima facia evidence that the Presbytery had been organized in accordance with the order given by the last Synod. , Dr. Wylie gave notice that he would protest against the decision of the Moderator, in his own name, and any who might join with him. Rev. Davie Steele, D.D. of Philadelphia, and Bev. Samuel Wylie, Elden, Illinois. were nomina ted for the Moderatorship. Dr. Steele' was elect ed by a large majority. ,Dr. Steele, on taking the Chair, returned thanks to the Synod for the distinguished honor conferred upon him, in elevating him to the very responsible position of Moderator, and • pledged bitnalf to discharge its duties to the best of his ability.' Rev. John N. McLeod, D. D., was unanimously elected Stated Clerk. Revs. John F. Hill and Nevin Woodside, were nominated for the Assistant Clerkship. Mr. Woodside was elected. The minutes of 1867 were then read thoughout for the information of the Synod. After the reading of the minutes, on motion, further business was suspended for the purpose of hearing the committee appointed by the Na tional Union Convention M November last to present the action of that Convention- to the General Synod on the matter of organic union among Presbyterians. Rev Dr. Marshall, Chairman of the Commit tee, took the floor and addressed the Synod' on the importance of union.. He said the Conven tion was remarkable in the origin of the call. It originated with this Synod, one of the smallest titles of Presbyterian Israel. It was remarkable in the numbers that attended from all parts of the country and from so many churches and de nominations. It was remarkable in its results. Thus far it transcended his most earnest expecta tions. He then asked, can there be an union? They have all the same confession of faith, form of government and directory for worship. They all hold the same cardinal doctrines. The doc trines are the same in relation to original sin, justification and the Holy Ghost. That man must repent and confess his sins and return to God. That there is a future state of rewards and punishment. They differed on psalmody'and communion. He believed in preaching, praying and singing in harmony with the Word of God. But the use of hymns did rot violate their piety. He thought the Synod would not say it did. He was con vinced that there were imperative reasons why they should unite. First. to take away the re proach of "disuniono Second, ineview of the prevalence of infidelity in the land. Dr. Chapin has declared that he would: rather unite with the Catholic Church than any Evangelical denomi nation. He believed there would be a union between Infidelity and the Man of Sin. For these reasons they should unite. He urged the importance of-appointing a committee of five, in accordance with the recommendation of the i lade] ph la Convention. Hon. Wm. M. Francis; another member of the committee, briefly addressed the Synod. Ho could not endorse the declaration of Dr. Mar *hall that he never expected to be in such a con vention again, as that which he attended In Phi ladelphia last November. He was not many sears the junior of Dr. Marahall,•and he believed he would live to see another convention. He hoped the committee referred to would be ap pointed. On motion of Dr. Douglas, seconded by Dr. McMaster, the report of the delegates was ac <:epted, and the thanks of the Synod returned to them for their address In connection therewith. On motion of Dr. McMaster, seconded by Dr. Wylie, the delegates from the different Presby teries of this Synod to the Philadelphia Oonven lion be requested to present their report in the -afternoon, and the whole subject of Union be made the order of tko day for Friday afternoon. This resolution was discussed by Dr. Mc leod, George H. Stuart, Esq., Rev, W. 8. Brat ton, Dr. Wylie, Rev. Michael larshaw and others. At the suggestion of Dr. McLeod, the words "this afternoon," were stricken out and the words "to-morrow morning" inserted. The matter was discussed further by Drs. Douglass, McMaster, Wylie, Sterritt, Clark, Mc- Leod and others. The resolution was adopted. The hours tor meeting were fixed as fol lows: 9.30 A. M. to '3 P. M., and adjourned by resolution. Synod adjourned. Rev. Samuel Wylie con cluded by prayer. Presbyterian (0. b.)oenernlAssenably. ALBAnr, May 21—The entire afternoon session was occupied in discussing the proposed basis of union between the New and Old School Churches, i)rs. Blanhelt, William J.

The Moderator responded in behalf of the Assem bly to'the interesting address , of 'Dr. Breck, welcoM leg him as a visitor, and pledging to the brethren the heartfelt sympathy of this'body. Rev.

Curacao, May 4—The Conference to-day excused Bishop Morris, senior,. Superintendent, from active service except so far as his; health will allow. Bishop Bilker, of New Hampshire, was abio allowed to do such work during the next term as his impaired health may permit. A paper was read from certain laymen in opposition to the admistron of lay delegations, which was re ferred to the committee on that subject. • The report of the Committee on Sunday Schools was read. It recommends an increase of books adapted to Sunday &bools. the continuance of the Sunday School Journal in its present form, and the admission of life members, of the society to the meetings of the Board of Managers. Dr. Haven, Chairman of the Committee on Lay Delegations, presented a report, which wassead, with petitions for the adoption of some plan of lay repre sentation. The number of laymen up to this time is 25,509. Eleven conferences have expressed unqualified ap proval of the principle, and twenty have expressed readiness to grant'it upon the demand of the people. Other conferences have expressed no decided views on the subject...:::-. The General conference has twice voted in favor of the principle. -- Once it had been submitted to popul sr vote, awl had faded by a small majority, it having teen taken amid excitement of the late war, when the people were genemlly too mach concerned about the preservation of the public life to give the subject much attention. The General Conference on this subject ; believe that the judiciary of the Church is sail d Upon to consider these questions, in which the hoty are equally interested with the clergy,• and equally entitled to have a voice. They repudiate the ieca that they seek admission to the councils of the Cl.tirch for the purpose of changing its policy, de al. using its itinerancy or undermining its episcopacy, but claim to have a deep and genuine affection for tbe Church and its ministry, and as deep an interest in its welfare. he report was then considered, and objections to :h.: proposed change of the committee were made. — .She committee, after a careful consideration, re c.nonend the adoption of a measure, and submitted a 1 - 1 -an providing for the admission of one layman to .Le General Conference from each annual conference, ra d providing for the admission of not more than th-r . y laymen to. each annual, conference. It was ewl , ..red to be printed. A minority report was also ~cnted bythe Rev. L 3f. Merrill against lay iepre set tation,' which was also ordered to be printed, and the Conference adjourned. Strenade to General Grant and speaker Colfax. WASIILNCiTON, May 22. General Grant was serenaded this evening. After thy- hand had placed "Bail to the Chief," calls were Mule for General Grant, and when he appeared at the door of his residence, he was greeted with prolonged cl. , ere. Representative Boutwell, of Me. , sitelinsetts, nho was standing at hie side, addressed him as fol lon EtrErtat. : This assemblage of your fellow-citizens, b: :1 - : ght together without organization or previous nin gerlield, have scarred me to express to you their gi iticution at your nomination for President of the United States (applause) by the Republican Cc nvention . recently assemeled - at Chicago. [Renewal applause.] The unanimity with wh,ch you have been.nominated, almost if not altogether without an exception in the history of oar country, Initishes a sufficient Indication of the vast majority, if not the entire unanimity, with which the nomina tion will be sustained by the loyal people of the country. [Applause.] The Republican party has nouyet hut an opportunity to teat its capacity for the trtvemment of the Republic in time or peace. We have hada star of more than four yearanturation, but the reliantand patriotic people of this country, under your leadership, quelled the mightiest rebellion tbe world has ever seen, against the best sovernment known in the history of mankind. You will be supported in the contest upon which you have entered by the same heroic men who Wele with you at Shiloh, in the Wilderness,. and be- fore Richmond, and you are to meet with the opposi tion of a comparatively few of those who have re turned to the support of the Union, the Constitution, and the llag of the country, and with but few excep tions, Ton are to be opposed by the same men, ant- mated by the same principles which animated the men enraged in the rebellion you were so instrumental in overthrowing. [Applause ] The nation expects and will receive front you the same devotion to its inter mits the same patriotism in your purposes, the same integrity and firmness of will which characterized your command of its armies. .1 doubt not that is the contest which is now before us mitten achieve a victory as memorable in the history of our country as that which illukrated the army of the Republic at the surrender of Richmond. Your fellow-citizens will support you in this contest—they will support your administration, knowing that your administration will. be characterized by firmness, by integrity, by patriotism, by good sense. and all the manly qualities which have marked your past career. [Applause.] lily fellow-citizens, I have now the pleasure of pre senting to you the next President of the United States, General Grant, the commander of your armies. [Re newed and leng-continued applause.] General Grant then said: Gentlemen—Belng entirely unaccustomed to public speaking, and without any desire to cultivate that power (leughtet), it is impossible, for me to find ap propriate language to thank you for this demonstration. All that °I can say is, that to whatever potation I may be called by your wilt, I shalt endeavor to discharge its duties with fidelity and •honesty of purpose, Of my rectitude in the performance of public duties, you will have to judge lor yourselves, by my record before you. Nine cheers were then given for General Grant, and hnndreds of the crowd entered the house and congrat ulated the General. The procession then moved to the residence of Speaker Colfax, Calls having been made for him, he appeared at the door of his residence in company with Representative Pike, of Maine, who said: We are here to-night to express onr gratification that while the Convention recently assembled at Chi- cago took such good care to reflect the public will in nominating a candidate for President of the United &sates, in the person of the distinguished chieftain, General Grant, they took equal good care to Est 'cot for the second place on the succeattal ticket a gentleman whose character, public and private, whose long and and well-known services, and high , and consistent devotion to principle, afford sufficient ground to believe that no person represent ing either himself alone or a party will strike at the that for the purpose of securing a traitorous adminis tration for the second. (Applause.] I will not detain you longer. I have now the pleasure of in• trodncing to you the next Vice-President of the United States. These remake having been received with applause, Speaker Colfax said: lily friends, I thank you with all the emotions of a grateful heart for this flattering manifestation of your confidence and regard. I congratulate you on the auspicious opening of the eventful campaign on which we are entering. In the Chicago Convention, representing the entire continental area of the Re public, every State, every Territory, every District and delegate, from ocean to ocean, declared that their first and only choice for President was Ulysses S. Grant. • [Great applause.] Brave, and yet unassuming; reti cent, and yet, when necessary, firm as the eternal hills (applause); with every thought and hope and as piration for We country; with modesty only equaled by his merits, it is not extravagant for me to say that he is to-day, of all other men in the land, "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of hit. countrymen." [Great applause. ] His name is the very synonym of victory, and ho will lead the Union bents to triumph at the polls as surely as he led the Union armies to triumph in the field. Bet greater even than the conqueror of Vicksburg and the destroyer of the rebellion, in the glorious inspira tion of our noble principles, animated by the sublime truths of the Declaration of Independence.

Many persons in the crowd, entered the dwelling, and ox tedded their conoittilatione. LoNnoN, May 23—A.M.—The debate on the Irish . , Church was again resumed: The suspensory bill being under consideration, Mr. 'Gladstone made a speech explaining the character and intent 'of the measure. He said the Liberals Would not consent to subsidize any religion in Ireland. He expressed his amazement that the Tories should now threaten resistance to the bill after yielding assent to the resolves of which it was the logical result. The House of Lords might possibly reject it, but still it was the duty of the House of Commons to proceed with the movement of reform which it had commenced. Mr. Gladstone closed by moving that the bill pass to a second reading. Mr. Gathorne Hardy moved that the second reading be postponed six months, and supported this motion with a speech of much warmth. He declared that the bill was a surprise, and meant confiscation. It mis laid the Que . en's reply to the address of the House concerning the disposal of ecclesiastical patronage, and robbed the Crown of some of its greatest preroga tives, including the veto power. Ile ascribed the origin of this movement to the enemies of the Church 5n.1 the State, and made an earnest appeal to all Pro testants to oppose it. • The debate was continued at great length. Mr. Disraeli et a late hoer rose. Ile defended the action of the Tory party i registering the bill. The policy which had created this measure was disastrous to the country, and its direct tendency 'was to tee abolition of both Church and State. Mr. Gladstone replied: !Leonid the step taken by the Liberal party waa not hoAlle, either to Protestantism or to the interests of the Church of England. The debate ended with Mr. Gladatonn9 epecch,cpid a division took place on the motion that the bill have its second reading, with the following result: For becond reading 312; against 258; majority 54. The announcement of the vote was received with loud and prolonged cheerafrom the Liberal benches. A motion was then made that the Houee go into committee for the consideration of the bill on the sth of June next. The motion was carried without a division, and the 11rnee. at two o'clock this mornimz. adjourned. 011►Vt11LE1VTS OF OCEANEITEArfIEEIS. TO ABLUVE. ante Tax....

Various extravagances break out at differ . eat epochs. Cheops and his friends wasted slaves in building pyramids.; the Romans wasted wild beasts, peacocliti, nightingales ; at a later period knights and nobles were wasted in the Crutades and a lamentable amount of ability and scientific research was wasted on alchemy and astrology. The present age is particularly remarkable for its waste of gunpowder. A French usher, with no sixpences to spare, poor fellow, was once asked by some boys to contribute to a squib fund they were raising against the arca 'of November. "What," cried he; "throw up my money and hear him go bang? No, no." To the unitiated readers of artillexistic intern= gence, It seems as if a set of lunatics devoted their lives to casting guns of utmost strength, and then trying to burst them. While throughout the length and breadth of the land volunteers are perpetually employed,not only in blazing away at targets, which stirs emulation, and is consequently amusing, but in burning blank cartridges, which I should judge to be a most insipid pastime. But gunpowder expenditure lies at the door of that most Insanely wasteful of human fol lies, war. Just walk through one of Bel lona's museums; look at that beautiful steel gun; what an exquisitely finished work of art! It is a breech-loader, open at both ends to let us see the delicate rifling. Does it not seem a thousand pities to soil it with use? But it must be loaded with one of those neat bags of powder, which you might take for a lady's toilet pillow:4llkm without its lace cover, would certainly be a sort of bonbon for snob a delicate throat—that and one of those bijoux of shells which it really seems a sin to fire away. Look at this longitu dinal section of one of them, andjust con sider the amount of ingenuity and labor ex pended on their manufacture. This delicate apparatus is to explode the shell directly it touches any object;this is the bursting charge; these layers of polished steel dominoes which line the interior will become detached, and carry death through a considerable space upon the explosion, if any one could have the heart to explode what ought to remain under a glass case in a drawing-room. Then the cost of these pretty toys; the hard cash as well as the time and trouble spent upon them! A. man can live in comfort who earns per week what every shell fired by some of these guns costs. And they fire theta as fast as they can; and the majority are wasted out and out, for they hit no one; and when they do—well, that is another consideration. What a fuss is made about the new-born baby ; how proud his mother is'; how vain his father. Think of the pains taken to keep his limbs straight; the hopes, the fears, the waichings during his infantile maladies ; of the trouble of teaching him to read ; of the anxious thoughts and care in selecting a school for him; of the pains taken again by Latin master, Greek master, mathematical master, French master, German master, to store his mind; and of the constant training and practice he voluntarily goes through. He shows signs of considerable ability, and his relatives go wild with &light, esteeming him a prodigy. Then comes anxious con sultations upon the choice of' a profession ; and the army is finally selected. His com mission is purchased, and fi new training cnmmenced. •Slowly s day by day, he be comes initiated in the mysteries of drill, and the more diflicalt matters of regimental dis cipline and interior economy. At last he is even dismissed from the riding-school. Even then his education is not completed, for he wishes to rise in his profession, and gets sent to the staff college. Here he masters the higher branches of mathematics, reads law, and becomes a proficient in a variety of arts and sciences. Having passed a terrible examination, this highly finished piece of human ratieh*nery, which it has taken thirty years, thousands of pounds, and an immense amount of labor to perfect, is sent into the field, and mown dow like a thistle by one of those shells which is not wasted. But man is mortal, and will death blot out the cultivated mind and athletic frame, sooner or later, under any circumstan ces. True; and it is also true that time will destroy the choicest work of art. But we do not set our Turners up for targets...,, A. deli cate piece of rhino, is safe to be broken even tually; but what would you say of a boy who made a cockshy of it? . Perhaps war may become an absolute folly before this world rushes into the fiery em brace of the sun; but will its inhabitants ever cease to waste their time, their talents, their opportunities, their affections?
