RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
it Contrast—Methodism , Then and Now.
The editor of a New York, cotemporary—the
Carbeian Mon/de—has attended a Methodist
church—the elegant edifice of that denomination
located cn the corner of Fourth avenuersinlTwenti
second street—and, in the current number of his
parer entertains his readers with his impreasions.'
He speake, professedly from observation, of the
marked contrast between Methodism as it is now
exemplified in fashionable churches, and as he wit
nested it in barns, and groves, and radiate
ht uses, fifty years ago. The picture draWit repre-
Bente this now numerous and influential • de
ncmination as. having exchanged the simplicity
and e cep spirituality of its early history, for
that. 'worldliness of other sects, against which
it:was originally arrayed; for having exchanged
, its rude, obscure placers of worship for Archepisco.
pal palaces, with broad galleries, lofty, frescoed
ceilings, extended aisles, rich ciarpetinge, and
-cushioned pewe ; hard floors to kneel upon 'for foot
stools soft as down ; their plain Quaker like dress
for such gorgeousness and extravagance as, in Wee
ley's day, would have consigned its wearer to the
lake of fire, and for having substituted for their soul
stirring vocal melodies of fifty years ago the fan•
teeth: operatic airs of pealing organs. The writer
furthermore deplores the decay Of spiritual power
consequent upon this improved temporal condition of
the Methodist body, and quotes the prophetic
mark of a plain, hard-working class-leader, nearly
half a,century ago, to the effect that the " Metho
dists would fall away like other denominations, and
when they did that their peculiar power would pass
to other hands, leaving them great innothing except
exterior show."
However applicable these comments may be to the
Methodist church elsewhere, they are too sweeping ,
for the latitude of Philadelphia, where the fervor
and zeal of Methodism, under the lead and direction
of her efficient, devoted, and selkraorificing clergy,
are, so far as we are enabled to judge, preserved in
all the vitality and vigor of youth. It is, moreover,
manifestly unfair to estimate the tendencies of a re
ligious body, by any symptoms it may exhibit in the
city of New York, where deterioration _in every
thing `that is spiritual is just as natural as - far
"'sparks to fly upwards," where the angel Gabriel;
...,td....acarcelv_be...exuected_toke.p - samien "un- -
spotted from the world," were lie to condescend to
become a resident of that " Metropolis." •
The following, from the London Standard, would
indicate that the same deteriorating tendencies.
however, are apparent in the chief city of England :
" Supposing the statistics of the late Conference
be correct, the facte,of the ease are by no' means
cheering. Methodism, in all that appertains to
agency, has of late rears been much improved, and,
speaking of the manner after men, we have a right to
expect corresponding results. The inference we
draw from the whole is this, that the work of God
is coVrapitily advancing.
" We ought, perhaps, to remark on some of the
figures : take, then, for example, the metropolis.
London comprises a total increase of three hundred
and thirty four; now, dividing this sum by the num
ber of London societies, it' will be 'found that the
quotient is very small—little more than nominal.
It is further to be remembered that the strength and
flower of the Methodist ministry is in the metropo
lis, so that the utmost justice has been done to the
adminlstratioirof the Word; and yet such are the
facts.
"Mr. Spurgeon alone has added much more to his
church, although they have had to pass through the
flood to get into it. A number of Independent
churches have added a third of the above total, and
some considerably more.
"L oo k, again, at &bawl, immemorially one of the
. strongholds of Methodism, and there we find the
additions only 654, but nearly double those of the
metropolis. Liverpool, Manchester, and Notting
ham, we think present a more satisfactory aspect;
but, on the whole, there is much reason for humilia
tion and prayer, and redoubled energy throughout
the whole• domain of IVlethodism, as well as every.
other section of the Church of Christ."
The Methodist of this date quotes largely from the
"Statistics of Methodism in Great Britain, as given
in the report to the late Weeleyan Conference,"
from which we perceive that their increase in mem
bership-for the rear 1862-3 is 4,448, though_eleven
districts reported a decrease of 1,626 members in this
period. The -largest accession was reported for
Cornwall, while Leeds, Hull, 'and Wales showed
some diminution. The entire membership reported
to Conference is 329,'704, an increase of 48,441 since
the year 1862. Still, the fact that the number of
members in connection with the same Conference
was in 1849 upwards of 350,000, shows that even nu
merically, the Wesleyan body in Great Britain has
suffered a decline of over 20,000 in the last fourteen
years. • The Methodist, in commenting upon these
statistics, says; "The growth of Methodism does
not keep pace with the growth of population in the
rent centres of activity, and the ratio of the pre
sent growth of Methodism, both in the Old World
and in the New, is a subject which may well occupy•
its best minds and hearts."
We may add to all - this, without injustice, that
the legitimate geld in which primitive and unadul
terated Methodism always Nits, arid probably always
will flourish best, is in its pioneering capacity, in
breaking up the fallow, ground and leading the way
for more ostentatious denothinations to follow.
Ilsovirsurna OF TRIO CHUROFEISS.•••• Last Sunday,
Nei& the first Sunday in September, - witnessed
quite a resurrection among the churches of our _
city. The interval of rest, which a large number
of our congregations have of late years adopted
during July and August, by general consent runs
its course by the first ofSeptember, and the reunions
which-took place on Sunday last between pastors
and people, and between long separated members of
the same churches, were numerous and pleasing,
the indications being that the relaxation of the past
weeks will be more than compensated by the in.
creased zeal and energy accumutated•by the cessation
from active services, the more eapecially because of
the happy change which the past two months - have
wr ought in the situation and nrospeots of our coun
try. The cheering success of, our armies, by the
way, was made a general subject of thanksgiving to
God, and in many cases the theme of able and pa
triotic discourses. The few churches Mist were not
ready to resume their eStmetomed routine of ser
vices on last Sunday, are, with but one or two ex-
Ceptione, expected to do so to-morrow.
PATRIOTISM OF OUR SIINDA.T SCHOOLB.—dtIIOIIg
the most pleasing humanitarian features developed
by the war", is the intelligent activity displayed by
little children, in their endeavors to mitigate the
sufferings of our brave soldiers. To no appeals
Nave the Sunday Schools of our city responded with
as much liberality and alacrity, as to those made in
behalf of the sick and wounded in the military hos
pitals. The Christian Commission, a national be
nelicent association, under the presidency of our re
spected townsman, George H. Stuart, Esq., hae
been pifitticularly successful in evoking their co-ope
ration. -
We have a special reason for alluding to this sub•
ject today, We had yesterday shown to us, at the
rooms, of the Christian Commission, No. 11 Bank
street, a handsome lot of what are designated
"housewives," made for the soldiers in the army by
the school connected with the Fifth United Presby
terian. Church, located at Twentieth and Hamilton
streets, of which the Rev. Mr. Hanna is pastor.
The "housewife," intended for gratuitous distribu
tion among the soldiers, consists of a neat little
flexible case, easily carried in the pocket, furnished
with needles, (of various sizes,) pins, buttons,
thread, a pail of scissors, and a religious tract, and
hi just such an article as we should think would be
invaluable to the soldier. •We sincerely hope that
those having Sunday schools in charge will make
it a point to see the article described, and set their
children to work at once to imitate the school above
referred to, as in no way can their little fingers
render more valuable services to the soldier, and so
contribute towards crushing the - rebellion, than by
liiinishing him with a "housewife."
CHRISTIANITY IN SIAM.—The Rev. S. !Mattoon
writes 'from Bankbk, that on the 10th of May the
first case of a husband and wife in Siam professing
Christianity together took place in the Pentehaburi
station of that mission: Mr. Mattoon is engaged
in translating the Scriptures into Siaoese.
- Tire IYIISBIONART CAUSE IN JAPAN.—The repre
sentatives of the Reformed Dutch Church were
among the lint to enter Japan in the mission of love,
and have succeeded in organizing a church at.Yed
do, which numbers both Americans and Japanese.
They have - secured ground for a church edifice and
missionary residence, which will, no doubt, in due
time be completed, providing our threatened trou
bles with those eccentric barbarians do not suddenly
stop the work.
TEM Rev. B. T. NOAXEB, successor to the Rev
Dudley A. Tyng, in the reetorahip of the Church of
the Covenant, in this city, has tendered hia resig
nation of the charge on account of ill health. •
A Nome AOT.—Mr. D. W. Hall, of Washington,
recently died, decreeing in his will that afteithe
death of his wife, $3,000 should be given to secure
scholarships in Pennsylvania College, for the per
petual help of worthy indigent young men of the
Lutheran Church. The wife, however, instead of
adhering to the letter of the will, handed over the
money for the generous object designated, immedi
ately upon the death of her husband.
Rev. Dn. LORD, president of Dartmouth College,
has had eight eons graduate in that institution.
REV. - COORMAN DRAFTED.—It is re
ported that among the conscripts in the Ninth Con
gunships' district of New York, is the Rev. John E.
Cookman, (Pastor of the Methoditt Church at Har
lem,) foimerly of this city, and son of the distin
guished George G. Cookman, who was chaplain to
Congrees, and who was a pane enger on board the un
fortunate steamer President. The papers assert
that Mr. Cookman has • determined to shoulder his
knapsack and serve in person.
ROMAN-OATROLIG CONGRESS AT MALINES.—On
the 18th a general assembly of Roman Catholics was
opened at eralinee, in Belgium. Amongst those
present were Mgr. Ledochewski, the papal nuncio,
Caidinal Wiseman, and many ether English Roman
Catholic prelates, the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Adelaide, the Archbishop of Jerusalem, Fro. The
assembly was opened, after a solemn high mass cele.
brated in the Metropolitan Church of St. Rambauti
by an address from Mgr. Sterckx,. cardinal -arch.
bishop of Manners, who said that, as the object of the
meeting was tb do service to the Church, they should,
above all things , aim at prelatical .conclusions and
useful measures. All proper opinions might be enun
tciated, all measures calculated to do good might be
:proposed, and. all might be, discussed, defended, and
;opposed with the greatest freedom. M. de Garlache,
-the president of the congress, then addressed the as
sembly. On the 19th, M. Ad. Deohamps, deputy,
-made a speech on the triple objeets of the congress.
M. de filontalembert developed and explained the
famous formula of "a free church in a free state."

The following communisation, froin the Boaid of
Directors of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, was presented to select Council at their meet
ing on Thursday last:
OFFICE NORTH PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD 00.,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 7, 1863,
To James Lynd, Esq., President of Select Council:
SIR The resolution passed by Select Council on
July 30, 1863, together with the copy of the report of
the Special Committee of Connell, and copy of "An
ordinance to increase the value and make produe
live the investment of the otty . in the stock of the
North Pennsylvania Railroad Conipany, ,, has been
received, and, in compliance with said resolution,
the'following statement is presented :
The act incorporating : the Lehigli'and Delaware
Water Gap Railroad Company was approved 'Kay
4, 1867. (See P. L., 1858, page 562.)
On December Ist, 1859, the North Pennsylvania
Railroad Company leased to that company their
Shimersville branch, for a term of twenty years, at
a nominal rent of one dollar per annum,_ conditional
on the Lehigh and Delaware Water Gap Railroad
Company constructing their road, and building a
bridge across the Lehigh river, and making a con
nection with the branch before the first day of De
cember, 1862. That company having failed to build
their road and bridge, as stipulated, the said lease be
came void. -
Under date of December 9th, 1861, A. H. Reeder,
Esq., president of Lehigh and Delaware Water Gap
Railroad Company, made application to have the
lease renewed. This company did not agree to re
new the old lease, but adopted the following rem.
lution on January Bth, 1863, a copy of which was
furnished to Air. tleeder, to•wit
Resolved, That this company will rent ,or lease
their right of way, road bed, and bridges over and on
the " Shimeraville Branch,” from a point at or near
Iron Hill to the Lehigh river at or near Shimers
ville, in Northampton county, Pennsylvania, to the
Lehigh and Delaware Water Gap Railroad Com
pany for the term of twenty years from the first day
of January, 1863, at and for the annual• rent of one
dollar Provided, however, that said lease shall not
beexecuted, or be in any way binding on this com
pany until the Lehigh and Delaware Water Gap
Railroad Company shall have their railroad graded
from Freemansburg to Easton, and ready , for. the
superstructure, and shall have erected their bridge
across the Lehigh river at Freemansburg, which
said grading of road and building of bridge shall be
finished and completed on or before the first day of
January, 1865: And also provided, that this propos',
lion be aceepted by the Lehigh and Delaware Water
Gap Railroad Company within ninety days from
this date, and that the said Lehigh and Delaware
.Water rip' Railroad Company , shall have put the.
grading of road and huibil..,3_..r_hridee under eon
tract. and thS work shall have aotuany touv....rrced_

that said lease, when made, shall not he sold, or
transferred or altered, without first having the con

the Board of Directors of the North Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. .
On April 27th, 1863, s Wm. L. Hirst, Esq., made
personal application to have the time extended for
accepting the terms of, the foregoing resolution;
when the time was, extended until June Ist.
On June 4th the following letter was addressed to
Mr. Reeder:
OFFICE NORTH PENNSYLVANIA. RAILROAD COMP'Y,
PHILADELPHIA, June 4, 1863.
A. H. Reeder, Esq., President Lehigh and Delaware W.
G. Railroad Company:

to Ikave it. Yours, with respect,
P. A. COIYILY, President.
Which letter Mr. Reeder orally acknowledged the
receipt of, but declined answering the questions.
On „Tune 16th, 1863, the following resolution was
passed:
Resolved, That the Board will consent to lease the
Branch Road from the junction to Shimersville, in
the condition it was in at the time the former lease
was executed. Providled, that this consent shall
have no effect whatever until the road from Slit
mereville to Easton, with bridge shall be gradod,
ironed, and ready for running. And that the whole
subject be referred to the Road Committee to pre
pare a lease, and submit it to the Board, with such
modifications as they may deem proper. -
The Committee have not yet reported on the sub
ject.
On August 18th, 1863, the following resolutions
were offered by William L, Hirst, Esq., and passed
by a vote of 4 to 3.
Resolved, That this Board conaider that the pro
posed railroad connection with Easton would be
promotive of the interests of the North Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company. -
Resolved, That this Board, sensible of the, ad
vantages of- such connection, unanimously passed
the resolution of the iGth ultimo and that a copy
thereof, together with these resolutions,, be for
warded to Sames Lynd, Esq., President of Select
Council, to be laid beton Council in answer to the
-communication of Select Council to this Board.
The memorial of A. H. Reeder, Esq., President,'
to Councils, was not submitted to the Board or offi
cers of this company, nor had they any knowledge
of it (officially or otherwise), before it was pre
sented. , -
As regards the estimates therein of the increased,
business over the North Pennsylvania Railroad by
the building of the Lehigh and Delaware Water
Gap kßailroad. reference to the Annual. Report of
the Belvidere Delaware Railroad Company, for the
years 1861 and 1862, made to the Legislature of New
Jersey, will furnish reliable data as to their correct
ness, and show that the Easton trade has been
greatly over-estiinated.
The total net earnings of that company, for the
year 1861, were but $18,854.98 and, for the year 186/,
but $113,634.22, which also includes the business of
their FlemTngton branch road. In_ the year 1861 -
that company carried to Trenton, and other points
on their road, 146,622 tons of coal; and in the year
1862, 125,603 toms, the transportation of whieh is, in
cluded in the above amounts. The total receipts on
both passengers and freight, between Easton and
Philadelphia, in 1862, amounted to but $11,600, not
withstanding the chargers on freight over that road
are unusually low.
The extensive coal and iron operations of ;the Le
high have changed the channels of trade, and Easton
has ceased to be the distributing point it was before
the sev'eral railroads were built; there are now
three railroads and two canals contending for the
trade of that place.
If it be the object of the Lehigh and Delaware
Water Gap Railroad Company to build a road from
Easton to Allentown (as - a supplement to their
charter authorizes them to do), for the purpose of
forming, a link in a through line between Triarrisbuig
and New York, via Lebanon Valley, East Pennsyl
vania, and Central New Jersey Roads, it is ques
tionable whether the city of Philadelphia would be
benefited thereby.
But should the object be merely to secure a con
nection with-Philadelphia, via the North Pennsyl
vania Railroad, the proposed connection via Shi
mersville does not possess the advantages that a
connection at Bethlehem presents. The little dif
ference in distance would be much more than over.
come by the many other advantages over the Shi
to ersville route.
The present existing arrangements between the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and the North
Pennsylvania Railroad Company are, in -the main,
of a harmonious character, and anything likely . to
disturb them should be well considered before being
entered into. The North .Penneylvania Railroad
Company's share of the joint freight business, in
the year 1862, amounted to $156,180, being 0ven,..60
per cent. of entire freight earnings of the company.
And 20,915 passengers were carried, in connection
with that road, of which 8,004 were between Easton
and Philadelphia. The opening of the Penn Haven
and White Haven Railroad (now nearly completed
will add largely to the joint business of the two
'companies ; the cars of the North Pennsylvania Rail
road Company will then be run through from' Phi
ladelphia to Wilkesbarre, in Wyoming Valley, over
fifty miles shorter distance than eitherpf the other
routes.
The earnings of the company for the fiscal year
ending November 30th, 1862;were $397,166.26, and
for the first eight months of the,present fiscal year
$315,767 26, against $245,18‘.21 for the same time
last year, being an increase of $70,583.02.
The title hi - the ordinance referred -to purports
that the object is to increase the value and make
productive the investments of the city in the stock
of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
If that be the only object in view, while an ad
ditional connection with Easton may be desirable,
the project does not appear to- possess sufficient
merit to recommend itself to a favorable considera
tion, as it is not likely that the road, it built as pro
posed, would pay working expenses and interest on
Its cost.
The North Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
now clear of floating debt, and the earnings'show a
regular yearly increase. So far, the present year,
the increase has been near thirty per cent. over the
corresponding -time last year; -and, from present
indications, the net earnings of the year swill be
some $40,000 over all expenses and interest, a sum
sufficient to provide the additional'rolling-stock
necessary for the accommodation of the anticipated
increase of business during the coming year. -
Respectfully aubmitied,
By.order of the Board of Directors,
F. A. COMLY, President.
NOTB.—At a meeting of the Board of Directors,
held on the 7th inst., the foregoing communication
was approved by a majority of the whole Board,
the vote being 'I to 4, and has since been approved
by a member who wax then absent from the city. La
the number of passengers and.tons offreight carried
over the Belvidere Delaware Road were omitted in
the communication, I would state the number of
passengers carried by-that road in 1962, from Phila
delphia to Easton, was 1,912, and from Easton to
Philadelphia, 1,800 ; and the tons of freight from
Philadelphia to Easton. were 1,059, and from Easton
.to Philadelphia, 2,448. • • ,

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.—The Direct
ors of the Fifteenth School Section, in answer to
certain inquiries -from a committee of.the Board of
Control, state there are not schools sufficient in that:
section to accommodate the increasing demand for
'school facilities. They aver that a
.primary.school
building, is wanted in the vicinity of Seventeenth
and Callowhill streets, to take the place of , the pre
sent rented one on Sixteenth street near Vine street:
A primary-school building is wanted between Broad
street and Seventeenth street, and between Spring
Garden and Coates streets. t This would do. away
with two rented buildings, both of which are al
together unfit for school purposes. A • primary
school building is wanted west of Twenty-third
street 'and" north of the railroad on Pennsylvania
avenue. This would do away with a rented build.
ing op Mount Vernon Street, quite unfit for the
purpose.
In reference to new schoolhouses, the annual re.
port of the Board of. Controllers, just issued, says:
"A number of school.houses have been built during
the past year, all of which reflect credit upon those
engaged in their construction. One especially, in
.the Fifteenth section, surpasses anything of the kind
heretofore erected in this city, not only in the beau
ty - of the exterior and its surroundings; but also in
the completeness and comfort of iteinternal arrange.
Bent. It will bopointed to with pride as a monu
ment of the enterprise .of our City Councils, and
their interest-in the cause of education. The new
school-house now in course of completion in the
Second section,though lees Imposing- than the one
above mentioned is, more capacious, being the
largest school-building tn,the city. It , will contain,
when finished, twenty-twodivisiona, and will accom
modate about twelve hundred pupils. In addition
to these, there are now in course of erection four
• new school.bouses, which, on being completed, will
accommodate t,400 pupils. '
THE LATE ROBERT DES Esq.—At
ten o'clock to.day, by order of the administrator ' s to,
his estate, the whole personal property of, the late

NESHAMENY MAss. MERV:MG.—A mats
meeting of .the citizens of Bucks and Montgomery
counties was held, on Thursday, in the grove . near
Hartsville, on behalf of the Ladies' Aid Society of
Hartsville,_ for the relief of , rick and wounded
soldiers: Addresses were delivered by Rev.
vine, of Hartsville ; the Hon. Tudge Knox, and Rev.
A. G.'McAuley, of this. city. There • was large
attendance ond much enthusiasm. A. large amount
of money was raised for the noble object: above
specified, •
REDECORATION OF A CHURCH.—The Me- -
Cloak church, Catharine street, between Sixth and
Seventh, is undergoing considerable alteration add
improingent. It has been repainted and repapered
throusWit, and will probably be opened to the con
gregation to-morrow week. -It will present a fresh
and pleasing appearance:- The pulpit and its back
ground have been frescoed, and the walls and ceiling
have been tastefully papered. Much care hap been
bestowed upon' the finishing •of this - edifice. The
substitution iron. railing instead of a brick
wall between it apd the adjoininglsohoOl house, Will
give to the grounds a lighter and more graceful ohs
racter. The skill with which the pulpit is frescoed,
and the taste which characterizes, every portion of
the improvementßowe. such as will commend them
selves; to every observer. When completely refitted,
so improving will be the innovation that 'one will
scarcely be able to -recognize the identity of the new
church with the old.
EXHIBITION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
STATE AG-EICULTITICAi. SOMETY.—As the season
for agricultural and, horticultural exhibitions is at
hand, those intending to become exhibitors should
bestir themselves. The grand exhibition of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society will com
mence at Norristown on the 29th of September, to
contlinle four days. The grounds Selected for ,the
exhibition are very beautifully located, commanding
a view of- the fine country adjacent for miles.. The
arrangements are in proomm of completion; and
everything is being done which will promote the
comfort and convenience of exhibitors. The pre,
minims amount to $6,000, a number of them being
very liberal. A hope is entertained that our mann
facturere will be largely represented on the ma
casion, and Shat exhibition will be a credit to
the State and to the Society. Every arrangement
has been made for the transportation of articles for'
exhibition to 'and fro. Premium schedules may be
obtained of A. N. Spangler, No. 25 'North Sixth
street, or of the secretary, A. B. Longaker, Norris
town, Pa.
A NIJISAITCE.--A large number of barrels,
containing petroleum,. have been stored an a lot on
Washington avenue;. between Ninth and Tenth
streets, which are the cause of a series of complaints
from- persona residing in the neighborhood, who are

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
United States Dietriet Court—Judge Cad-
The court was eniaged yesterday. with habeas
corpus cases of drafted men whose claims for ex
emption have been disallowed by the board of enrol
ment in , their respective districts. These cases have
multiplied greatly lately, and bid fair to occupy much
the greater portion , of the time of the Court. They
present the same general features as those already
reported, and hardly merit the time spent on them.
Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Seeetons—Judge Ludlow..
The court was engaged yestefday with the ordi

A. Know-nothing Witness.
A young man was arraigned at the Central Station

per and some other refreshen. a and paid two dollars.

"I can't tell, exactly there was- some money, and
there
. wati some jewelry, locked up ia the bareau
