Voluminous New Commentary on tUe
■ Holy Scriptures.
Apian has lately originated in the established
Chiirchof England to ..cure an entirely new com
mentaiy on the whole Scripture.. The honor of
-starting thio movement iis swarded to the Speaker
of the House of Commons, who consulted several of
the Bishops on the subject, and the Archbishop of
York, at bia lnatance, has undertaken to organize a
plan for producing a commentary whioh shall 11 put
the reader in full possession of whatever informs
tion may be requisite to enable him to understand
the Woid of God, and supply him with satisfactory
answers to objections resting upon misrepresenta
ttoubf Its contents.” The plan haß already received
the sanction of the Primate, and a committee, con
sisting oi the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of
London, Lichfield, LlsndaiT, Gloucester, and Bris
tol j Lord Lyttleton, tho Speaker, Mr. Walpole ;
Dm. jßeobson, and Jctemie, is to take the general
supervision of the work. The latter is to be di
vided into eight distinct sections, consisting re
.-apeotively of the Pentatouoh, the historical books
of the Hebrew Soriptures, the poetical books, the
four great prophets, the twelvo minor prophets, the
Gospels and Acts, Paul’s Epistles, and the remain
der Of the Sacred Canon. That a vaßt amount of
valuable Biblical information will be eliminated and
Concentrated in this proposed commentary cannot be
doubted ; still, the faot of its being denominational
in its origin, and necessarily sectarian in its com
plexion, will deprive it of much of the usefulness
Which a work of a broader and more oatholic charac
ter—suoh as could only emanate from the combined
labors of honest and able theologians of .all parties—
would naturally possess. .
Givb Thbm a Helping Hand.—The Lutheran
'Church at Gettysburg having been greatly injured
during its recent use as a hospital for the wounded
soldiers, needs to be thoroughly refitted, and three
very estimable ladies, Mrs. Dr. Huber, Mrs. Dr.
Buehler, and Miss Caroline Fahneßtoek, a commit
tee appointed by the congregation for that purpose,
are now visiting this city for the purpose of receiv
ing such pecuniary assistance in the matter as may
be generously tendered them by the Lutheran
ehurohes of our city. It will be borne in mind that
the ladies of the congregation referred to were
among the foremost in their self- sacrificing efforts
to soothe the Buffering patriots on that memorable
■field in July last. By this act they have entitled
themselves, not only to the lasting gratitude of the
loyal Lutherans of this olty, but to the thanks of
all who feel an interest in the Union soldier, or the
mighty, and we may say holy, cause he represents.
Let this debt of gratitude, then, bo acknowledged,
by furthering the object of the above-named ladies
With promptness and liberality, remembering that
the most generous (donation. that can be made will
be but an inadequate compensation for the patriotic
services rendered by the ladles of the Gettysburg
Lutheran Church,
Collections nob thb Sick and Wounded
Soldiers on Thanbqivinq-Day.— We are grati
fied In being able to announce that the collections in
the churches of this city on Thanksgiving, day, for
the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers,
amounted to the handsome sum of sls,ooo—to be
applied through the Christian Commission.
The Key. Dn. Gillette, ofNew York, formerly
pastor of the Eleventh Baptist Church, in this city,
is soon to take charge of the First Baptist Church,
in the city of Washington, situated on Thirteenth
street, between Pennsylvania and New York ave
nues. A handsome new edifice Is now in course of
erection by this congregation, and will be ready by
"the first of the year, when Dr. Gillette will assume
his pastoral duties.
Blighting Expects ox Secesh upon the
Chukoh.—A clergyman, writing from Missouri,
gives a sad picture of the state of the churches
there. He says: lam doing comparatively nothing
in the ministry. Secesh won’t let me. lam stand
ing still waiting to see what God Intends to do with
my country and me. I induced our church last
Sabbath to agree to observe the 26th as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer, and got our young preacher
on Sabbath to read the President’s proclamation,
and oh' 1 what a buzz it has produced. As a general
thing our churches languish. I am the only minister
in our association who is not “ secesh.”
The Kev. Dk. E. Dorsey, for many years pastor
Of the English Evangelical Lutheran Church at
Waynesboro, this State, recently died, after a lin
gering illness, his remains being interred In the Bal
timore Cemetery.

city has added a new feature to its exercises to be
held on Monday evening next, in the First Church of
that denomination, Broad and Arch streets. On this
occasion there will he a sermon in the evening by
the Rev. Dr. Jeffery, the able pastor of the Baptist
Chuich, Filth and Buttonwood, and an address by
the retiring Pxesident, Rev. Dr. Kennard. ,
The next Union Prater Meeting, in behalf of
our soldiers and sailors, will be held, in the Baptist
Church (Rev. Dr. Eddy’s), on Chestnut street, above
Eighteenth, at four o’clock on Monday afternoon
next.
Revision foe the South.— The following scrap,
from the Toronto (Canada) Echo, may possibly be de
rived fiom an authentic source; if so, it indicates
the temper of Southern Episcopalians to have, at
all events, a Bible and a prayer-book which will not
disturb their conscience in relation to the u peculiar
institution:”
“A memorial is reported to have been laid before
the 'general council’ of the Bishops, Clergy, ami
Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church iu 'the
Confederate States of America. 1 It is understood to
have been referred" to a select committee (of which
Bishop General Polk is chairman), with instructions
so as to revise the prayer-book as to free it from all
traces of Abolitionism, and also to consider and re
port on the expediency of a corrected Southern ver
sion of the Old and New Testaments—especially the
latter.”.
Hebrew Monuments and the Jews,— Certain
discussions, says a Parisian letter-writer, at the In•
stiiut, relative to the age of Hebrew monuments,
have suggested a new exploration of Jerusalem and
other oitles in Palestine, M. de Sauley, Abb6 Ml
chon, and fit. Saltzmann, start this month on this
interesting expedition. The twenty thousand francs’
prize decrcdd by the Emperor for the moat import
ant discovery In science, was adjudged this year by
the Institut to M. Oppert, a Jew, for his persevering
labors and success in deciphering the cuneiform in
xoriptions.
Receipts of the Boards.—The reoeiptß of the
various Boards of the Church, during the month of
October, were as follows: Board of \ Domestic Mis
sions, $6,866.28; Board of Education, $2,656 90 ;
Board of Foreign Missions, $12,369.74; Board of
Publication—Colportage, $970.65; sales, $7,086.19
total, $6,036.84; Board of Church Extension,
$1,374.15. The Fund for Disabled Ministers has also
received $1,817.15.
The congregation of Rev. Matthew Hale
Smith, New York, have raised $l,BOO, intending to
make it $2,500, for his yearly support. The late re
jection of him by the counoil oalled to ordain him,
n&i induced a movement to sustain his ministry,
and to establish an independent church. The
church is not organized yet, but will be in a few
weeks* 1 and several are awaiting that event to make
a public profession. A cotemporary says it cannot
object to this movement if, as it is reported, many
Who never before gave to the support of the Gospel
ministry, now open their purses freely.
Bishop Colenso.—A London-letter says: “Al
most seven feet high, slender, but well formed;
remarkably erect and handsome, with clear-cut fea
tures, and full of light, there walked the present
Banquo of the English Church—Bishop Colenso.”
A Roman Catholic General.— Major General
Davids. Stanley was confirmed in Cincinnati, on
the 6th ultimo, by Archbishop Purcell. He had al
ready been admitted into the ohuroh about a year.
In one of the New York churches, recently, the
clergyman concluded his discourse as follows: “ But
I hear the rustling of silks in the pews, aßif some
ladies weie impatient to leave; I will therefore say,
God bless you.”
Tile Starving Seamstresses.
To the Editor of The Press :
Sir : In your editorial of yeeterday I Bee an arti
cle beaded “A Word for our Starving Seam
atreßßee,” fair of mitrepreientatione, which, allow
me to oorreot. !
It is true that only Jive cents are paid to make one
havetaack (straps excepted, which are furniahed,
made), but it i» not true that two women, working
from 7 o’clock in the morning till 10 o’clock at night,
can make only five, together. A woman that under
stands a little about sewing, can easily make one
each hour. It is true that this is little enough, but
nobody else Is te blame for it but the G-overnment,
■ They, give a contract te the lowest bidder. The
price* are generally so low that the contractor, to
get a middling fair per centage of his capital is un
able to pay more than six cents for each haversack.
The sub-eontractors take quantities at thi3 price,
and pay to the women five cents, leaving them
one cent gross profit. Deducting from this
cartage and losses, this leaves them a net profit
of about three-quarters of a cent for. their trouble,
which is really hard-earned money. After all,
somebody thinks it nice to call them a ('heartless
set of scoundrels.” I leave it to the public to judge
for themselves. The writer of your article is aware
that they pay at the Schuylkill Arsenal li% cents
Soi each haversack. Then why do not these women
ago there and i get work instead of taking it from
•the sub-contractors at five cents! The Sohuylkill
-Arsenal does not employ sub-contractors j only Go
-vernment contractors do so; and as the Government
; accepts the lowest bid for work, nobody else but the
■Government is to blame for "starving wages.” If
thewriter of "A word for starving seamstresses”
had taken the trouble to inquire a little more about
the real facts he would not have written such
nonsense about something he appears to know
nothing abouf. Yours, very respectfully,

Myßtbp.tous Development.—On the corner of
' Wall and Front streets, in the oity of Jeffersonville,
Indiana, stands an ancient brick building, which
was used in the olden time as a hotel, or this build
ing we have heard many romantic tales, and tradi.
tions of every hue and character are associated with
it by the old citizens of the place. It was once the
rendezvous of a desperate class of people, and many
dark and bloody crimes are known to have been
committed within its walls. Many innocent and
unsuspecting girls have been lured to this house and
their ruin accomplished, and it is believed that not
a few of these unfortunate victims have met with
■-violent deaths by their seducers.
The building in In ftVerif dilapidated condition*
purchased a lew days
ville Railroad Company, on account of.the room u
aflOrds for offloes. In repairing the building the
workmen took up the old floor, and, to their asio
niibment, discovered the remains of'several of the
vniinv ladies supposed to have been murdered in tne
finuse vears ago, together with the skeleton of an
infant, wrapped W cloth. The remains of the un
fortunate creatures have reposed for, perhaps, up
wards of thirty years beneath the floor of this noto- >
rlous house, and, until very reoently, it has been
oeoupied by different persons during this entire
period. The maidens whose skeletons are now ex
humed, had they lived, would be old ladies, and the
innocent babe would now be in the meridian of life.
t- jU probability their murderers hava ere this
nassed from earth, and rendered their account to
that Great Tribunal that visits justice upon all who
-escape the penalty of their crimes in this world,—

. The party were conducted from the ddjiot to Wil
lard’s Hotel, in omnibuses under the direction of
Geo. S. Kcontz, general agent at the Washington'
station, assisted by Wm. J. Walker, passenger agent
of the Baltimore and Ohio road. These
performed their duty well.. The doth having been
removed, the-Hon. Richard Wallaoh, Mayor of;
Washington, who presided on the festive occasion,
arose and said that the guests were about .to sepa
rate, and, not to defeat the object for which the pre
sent assemblage had been gathered, he would make
a few allusions to the recent trip, in which he had
been a participant. It was notfohly a matter of
great delight to him, that a through route between
Washington and New York had been perfected, but
that he had also been enabled, on this excursion, to
make the acquaintance of the most distinguished
men who were engaged in the railroading interests
of the country. The Mayor Bpoke at some length
upon the grandeur of the object thus attained, and,,
in conclusion, proposed the health of Wm. Prescott
Smith, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Loud
calls being made for that gentleman, Mr. Smith ad
vanced to the centre of the table, and spoke in sub
stance as follows:
He said that it was distinctly understood that
there was to bo no speech-making, but the Mayor
has thrown the first brick, and makes it incumbent
on to answer it; but owing to my infirmity of
partial deafness 1 did not hear precisely what the
Mayor said. It is entirely out of my line to .make
speeches, and especially one before this quarter of a
mile of intelligence on an occasion of so much pride
and so much pleasure aB the opening of a through
route between the two great metropolitan cities,
New York and Washington. Thatobjecthas brought
us together. We have with ub to-night representa
tives of the press of the greatest cities in the Union,
and of those branches of the Government most in
terested in transportation. The press, through
whose columns the public look to see what we mean
to do, and which goes a great way towards forming
public opinion on matters of great interest and in
ternal improvements, is well represented at the
lower end of the table. If you had not been so well
entertained inside the oars, and had looked more
upon the outside, you would have noticed measuree
of improvement which would have challenged your
admiration. The public want to see the absolute
development of the capacity of routes already ex
isting, and the Government itself desires it.
They see the means adequate to that object. A
double track Horn Ibis sit; to Hew York would
uaTS tffsa nmitiffl wsiw re but tot la? wr
labor. Th.© Bsltim'ore and Ohio Road, which I re
present, would have had a double track ere this, but
the country is indebted to Stonewall Jackson and
his cohorts that it has not been accomplished. Three
successive times have the iron and ties been gather
ed together, and as often been diverted to rebuild
the western line as often as destroyed. These
facts, gentlemen, are true.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore
Road are now using a new double track between
Philadelphia and Wilmington. At Philadelphia,
anticipating a complete route between New York
and Washington, we have by the use of others
round the northern section of the city, between Ken
sington and Gray's Ferry, made a complete route,
without change of cars, between the Hudson river
and the city of Washington.
Alter the first of January all trains will take that
route, and no passenger for New York will .have to
change cars in Philadelphia at midnight. That abomi
nation is over forever. Any man squeezed through
the fennels of Philadelphia at midnight, with all its
attendant discord, only knows the importance of this
new plan. It is indeed a subject of national con
gratulation. But, gentlemen, as I Bald before, there
was no speaking to be done except to one another.
New York is a giant city. Philadelphia is a won
derful place, with its rectangular streets, white stone
steps and white Bhutters, thatj)r. Holmes so well
describes. Baltimore is a delightful place, full of
intelligence, and beauty, and I will
addiof patriotism, [applause,] but, hardly the least
of these four great cities, Washington deserves our
regards.
The events of this war, if nothing else, make it
absolutely certain that, for generations hence,
Washington will be the great political oapital. In
deed, Washington now assumes a place as one of
the great metropolitan cities of the world. Such
being the case, New York at one end, and the many
intermediate cities on the line, what highway can
demand more respect? I give you. gentlemen,
“ The City of Washington 5 great for its archictec
tural structures, great for its historical and political
associations, and particularly great for its native
inhabitants.” This toast was responded to in a
neat and appropriate speech by Mayor Wallach.
Mr. Smith then arose and stated the fact that
there was one item omitted, and that was the toast,
” The Press,” I mean not only The Press of Phila
delphia, which is a great paper, but the Press in
general. I call upon Colonel Fitzgerald to respond.
Col. Thomas Fitzgerald responded in a neat and
appropriate manner, and, in ilia allusion to Major
J. P. Jackson, S. M. Felton, William H. Gatzmer,
Thos. A.: Scott, and J. Edgar Thomson, paid a
handsome compliment to Mr. Felton for the energy
he displayed when the rebellion commenced, in ar
ranging to send President Lincoln to Washington,
and also troops to defend the capital. ~ He also paid
a well-merited tribute to all the rest of the gentle
man named, particularly to Mr. Gatzmer. Colonel
Fitzgerald spoke for nearly half an hour, and was
frequently applauded.
Col. I). C. McCallum, superintendent of military
roads, was called upon, and made a brief address.
■ A toast being given to Mr. Garrett President of
the Baltimore and Ohio Road, and he being absent,
Mr. Smith again took the floors &nd responded in a
brief and felioitous manner.
Major Ben PerleyJPoore also responded to a' sen*
timent in a witty style, aDd the excursionists soon
after separated, and retired for the night beneath
the hospitable roof of Messrs. Sykes, Chadwick,
& Co.
After breakfast, yesterday morning, about two
thirds of the paity returned.
The train made the following time from Washing
ton to Gray’s Ferry bridge :
The train started from Washington at twenty-one
minutes past 9 o’clock, railroad , time, reaching Bal
timore at 10.33; left Baltimore 10 50; left Havre-de-
Grace 12.06, having lost between these two -last
named places sixteen mines in waiting for the down
train; reached WilmiDgton at 1.05, and here met the
through train from New York ; left Wilmington at
1.12; passed Chester at 1.29, and reached Gray’s
Ferry Bridge at At 1 44. Running time between Bal
timore and Philadelphia, 2 hours 35 minutes; run
ning time from Washington to Philadelphia, 3 hours
47 minutes; time lost during trip, 36 minutes; whole
timefrom Washington to Philadelphia, 4 hours 23
minutes. "
The prettiest part of the route is between the
u switch*ofE” at the Trenton and Reading road, to
the turn-out, from the Pennsylvania to the Phila
delphia, 'Wilmington, and Baltimore road. The
train passes, between these points, three times over
the Schuylkill*-first at the Falls, then over the new
bridge of the Pennsylvania * road, then over the
Gray’s Ferry Bridge.
The main joints of general interest may be
summed up •follows: 32 miles of double traok
have been laid, 18 miles more will be finished in six
weeks; the road is graded nearly all the way to the
Susquehanna livery the cross ties arc-all ready; the
iron is on its way from England; it is expected to
have it laid by next summer*, the Susquehanna
bridge will be finished in about one year; the boat
which crosses the Susquehanna at present, has a
double track, capable of carrying eleven first-class
passenger cars, or twenty freight cars*, time of
boat cr or sing the river aforesaid, eight minutes, -

The Massachusetts brings several refugees irom
St. John’s river, Florida, who represent that the
people of that State are in a starving condition ;
also one of the rebel party who lately attempted to
blow up the New Ironsides. His name is Robert,
Scott, alias Sullivan,of Mew York, andhe comes as
a prisoner of war. When the Massachusetts left,
the bombardment of the forts off Charleston was
going on night and day. The firing on Sumpter had
ceased, and General- G-ilinore was turning hia atten
tion to the forts in the inside of the harbor. A ter
rifle fire was kept xp on Port Jobnaon, which- muet

all the vesaels of the fleet, and from the batteries on
shore. • ' Alter the salutes, the rebel batteries opened
a very brisk fire in response, doing no damage.
The Massachusetts will take in a cargo of sup
plies for" the South Atlantic Blockade Squadron,
and will sail by the latter end of next week.

Kev. Colonel Clarkes Lecture.—
Rev. John B. Clark, colonel of the 123 d Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteers; and a distinguished divine
of Allegheny City, will-lecture on The American
War, its Present Influences and Results, in the Uni
ted Presbyterian Church, Front street, above Jeffer
son, on Thursday evening next. From what we have
heard of Colonel Clark we believe this lecture will
prove highly interesting as well aB instructive. The
Colonel did good service in the late campaign in this
State, and he is not only a warm supporter of the
Government, in the struggle now going on, with
his voice and pen, but he has wielded the sword and
led his men in the thick of the confliot at Frede
ricksburg and Chanoellorville.
Lost.— Yesterday forenoon, on Arch
street, between Front; and Third, one hundred and
five dollars belonging to a patriotic military or
ganization, and enclosed in a slip of paper contain*
ing the nameß of the contributors.. The finder will
confer a favor, and receive a suitable reward, by
leaving it at thiß office for Company A*
Installation Services. — The installa
tion of Rev. Riohard Mulery as pastor of the South
street Presbyterian Churoh, in South street, be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth, will take place to
morrow. The services will fee ef an unusually in
teresting character.
Two young men, calling themselves Wm, Buck
and Wm. L. Wagner, were arrested on Thursday
evening, and taken before Alderman Fields on the
charge of the larceny of silver-ware and other goods,
the total value of whioh is bstween $lOO and $2OO,
It is. alleged that they entered several dwellings
during the absence of the inmates, and carried off
the abides, for which they were arrested. Only
one piece of goods has been , recovered thus far.
They are said to belong to a gang of thieves who
have committed depredations for some time past in
the Eighteenth and Nineteenth wards. The former
was committed in default of $2,600, and the latter
SSOO bail,
A seedy*looking individual, named Hiram Kelley,
was arraigned before Alderman Beitler, yesterday,
on the charge of assault and battery on his wife, who
was present at the hearing and made the charge. She
said he was kind to her when sober, but he would
get drunk, and while in that state abuse her. The
Alderman bound him over in $3OO bail.
