RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The two General Assemblies of the
Presbyterian Church will meet . in New
York city on the' 20th. Of course, the
great absorbing question of re-union will
be discussed at much length by both
bodies. We regret to chronicle he im
pression prevailing, that the pros ects of
success are lees favorable than th y have
been considered, through the increased
oPposition among the Old School, and of
*difference among the New Sch Col. We
are, still, however, hopeful that when
these bodies meet some plan will be in
aspirated by 'which the differei s may
t
be removed and re-union faci tatea, if
mot fully consummated.
•'7 The anniversary exercises of the Pres
byterian Board of Foreign Missions was
held in New York Sunday week. From
the report we learn the Board had, during
the past year, doing its work in different
places, eighty-three missionaries, thirteen
native preachers, eighty.six assistant mist-
Sionaries, and one hundred and seventy
three native helpers. There were forty.
eight churches connected with the various
missions which report eighteen hundred
and thirty-six communicants. The at
tendance at the schools numbers seventy
four hundred children.
The Church ' of the Ascension, (Pro.
aestant Episcopal) of New York city,
has decided to make its church sittings
free to all corners on Sunday evenings.
• The Christian Advocate of New York
says several Boards of Trustees of differ
ent denominations have, during the last
few trionths,changed their pew ed churches
to free ones. In every case reported thus
ifs: the change has resulted in enlarging
ihe corigregatins and increasing the
financial receipts.
Within the past six months one hun
dred and three persons have been added
to the membership of the Second Baptist
Church, Philadelphia, Rev. William' '
Cathcart, pastor, seventy-two by baptism
and thirty-one by letter. During this
spiiitual harvest only one extra meeting
was held.
The Julianne street Hebrew congrega
tion of Philadelphia have just contracted
for the building , of one of the finest (if
not the finest) Jewish temples in the Uni
ted States. It is estimated the lot and
brdidingwM cost three hundred thousand
dollars. •
An exclumge says the latest idea for
fashionable churches is a retiring room
like that of the opera house, where ladies
can leave their cloaks, parasols, etc., and,
thus diseucainbered, listen to the word
in all the glory of gorgeous raiment.
The Classis. of Philadelphia, Reformed
Dutch Church, which met in Philadelphia
this week, it is expected, would admit
Rev. T. X. Orr,' of Allegheny City, and
. make arrangements for his installation
as pastor of the First Reformed Church of
that city.
The Independent, referring to a pastor
in "La Grange," in regard' to baptism.
.. .
says that a few Sabbaths ago he reports he
- was "permitted to bury two with Christ
by baptism," and last Sabbath week two
• - more "followed their Redeemer into the
. ' • liquid grave," while three others will "in
like manner put on Christ': at the earliest
opportunity. ,
Rev. Heman Bangs, D. D., over fifty
years in the itinerant ministry of the
MetlApdist Episcopal Church, at the recent
session of the New t York- But "bonier
ence, was placed on the superanuated
list, at his own request. lie occupied the
office of Presiding Elder for a great nein
ber of years, owing to his superior Lil.
ministrative abilities and popularity. It is
estimated that he has been instrumental
in building some forty or fifty churches
- in Connecticut, and twenty parsonages.
Re claims to be the first Methodist in
this country who preached on temper.
ance; and says ten thousand souls have
been converted under his ministry. When
he announced his desire to retire from
the active work, the occasion was one of
thrilling Interest. The old veteran was
presented with three thousand dollars by
- his: Mends on retiring.
Vile days since we made reference to
• the succesi attending . the mission of
Fatter tDoane in securing funds to en
. ,dow the American (Catholic) College at
'Rome--say.one hundred and sixty-eight

by the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Notwithstanding firesbyterianism has
' .• had slow growth in Boston, it is reported
that the Beach.street church in that city
is now growing faster than any other
church there. They have just paid the
thirty thousand dollars debt, with no aid
from abroad.

The independent says,since the Spring.

the exatviseit of some of the Christian Con.
ventionts might be advantageouttly
varied
by permitting the query how ti make ow--
sales better, to share some of the atten
tion that is now given to how to make
others better.
Rev. R. L. Stewart, of Allegheny city,
who has accepted the call of the Presby
terian church in Conneautville, Pa., will
enter upon his pastoral duties 'about the
Ist of June..
Archbishop Purcell confirmed one hun
dred and forty-five persons on Sunday
week, in the Catholic church, at Spring
field, Ohio.
•
It is estimated that it costs the ministers
of the Methodist Episcopal church amil-
lion of dollars, for moving expenses, in
going from,one, appointment to another
each year.
One hundred thousand dollars are re
calved for pew rents the present year by
Grace church, on Broadway, New York.
This sum, if economically used, ought to
pay its current expenses.
The Cincinnati Commercial says the
revival in the Presbyterian, Methodist,
and Quaker churches is still progressing
wonderfully in Richmond, Indiana. A
writer says it is refreshing to visit the lat
ter church and hear theirwarm exhorts-
Lions and fervent songs. They shout and
sing gloriously. The shouting and sing
ing are new features in:their religious ex
ercises.
—A Cattiouc pastoral.-
The pastoral letter of the Most Rev.
erend Arclibishop - SPaiding and the suf.
fragan prelates composing the Tenth Pro
vincial Council, which closed its session
in Baltimore on Sunday, the 2d instant,
has been made public. We extract from
the pastoral its remarks,on certain points:
Prominent among the evils we have to
deplore, and which are ap evidence of the
growing licentiousness of the times, may
be reckoned a morbid taste for indecent
publications and the frequentation of im
moral or positively obscene theatrical
performances. No entertainments seem
sufficient to satisfy the fast degenerating
spirit of the age, unless they be highly
sensational and calculated to gratify the
most prurient appetites. We can hardly
say who deserve a stronger condemna
tion, the actors who pander to the most
vitiated tastes, or the audience who en
courage by their presence and applaud
these grossly indelicate exhibitions. Both
actors and spectators appear to vie with
each other in their rapid march down the,
slippery road of sin. The church, far from
discountenancing, has always encouraged
innocent and moderate amusements as
useful or necessary relaxations. But
while approving ot harmless diversions,
she never ceases to exercise her sacred
influence in censuring all amusements
which can be' purchased only fat the
expense of virtue.
We deem it particularly our solemn
duty to renew our warning against the
modern fashionable dances, commonly
called German or round.dances, which
are becoming more and more the
occasion of sin. These - practices are
so much the more dangerous, as several
persons seem to look upon them as harm
less, ant indulge in them without any ap
parent remorse of conscience. But
Divine revelation, the wisdom of anti
quity, the light ot reason and of experi
ence—all concur in proclaiming that
these kinds of entertainments, even when
restricted within tolerable bounds of pro
priety, are attended with more or less
danger to the Christian soul. If such has
been the verdict orGod and His Church
regarding less objectionable forms of
dancing, we cannot too strongly repro
bate the system of "round dancing"
recently introduced into society, which
shocks every feeling of delicacy, and
is fraught with imminent danger to
morals. It: can hardly be expectbci that
any virtuous persons, unless they be
more than human, can, without detriment
to their souls, be present and take part
in such. amusements where the eye is daz
zled by an array of fascinating objects,
where the senses are captivated by en
, chanting music, and the heart is swayed
to snit fro amid the surrounding gaiety
and excitement.' If the participation in
such scenes should not at first deeply
wound the conscience, it "griever the
spirit of God," and tarnishes the snow
I white lily of chastity, the most precious
ornament Hof the female sex, which she
"tarries in earthen vessels." The faith
' ful are therefore warned, against politic'-
, pating in such amusements.
Our colored bratitern should have a
large share in the exercise of onr zeal,
particularly in those sections of the prov
ince where- they' are more numerously
congregated. Our Heavenly Father,
whose benign Providence watches over
the humblest of his creatures on earth,
as well as over the highest angels in
Heaven, enjoins on the pastors of His
Church the ministering with equal care
to the lowly and the great. God forbid
that we should exercise less iiigilanoe in
laboring for the salvation of those hnmor
tal souls whom God "created in his own
image and likeness," and for' whom His
only begotten Son did not disdain to die.
The Church, while careful never rudely
to disturb the established relations exist
ing' between the different clakses of so
ciety, niakes no distinction of persons
in the disttibution Of her heavenly
gifts. And she honors
whethe alik
the
e her
devoted missionariets, r y
:evangelize the white race, like Bt.
- -Francis de Sales. or .she Japanese;
like St. Francis Xavier. or the negro slave
ot Carthagena; like blessed Peter Clever.
The colored people are tractable and_gen
erally grateful for onr ministrations. Their
unsettled and abnormal condition, neces:
eerily arising Mtn their sudden emanci
pation, should the more actively excite
our sympathy. "We that are itrong
ought to bear the infirmities of the weak
er. ' We, therefore, desire that separate
schools and churches be established for
the blacks, wherever, in the judgment of
this Ordinary, they may be deemed prac
ticable and expedient. • Where special
schools 'and churches are not erected for
them, everg.facility should be afforded for
theft religious and moral training, as far
as circumstances will permit. ,
The letter recommends the withdrawal
of Catholic children from the public
schools, and confining them to schools of
their own. 'in connection with th!s sub
ject,' theletter reinarks:
"While we are gratified at witnessing
so many intelligent persons throughout
the country embracing the true Stiith, we
are.obliged to <toeless with Borrow that
,greater: number ire lost to the Cho&
GAZEr t SATtriLDAI. 'MAT 15, 1869,
TM /I% is no exaggeration In saying now
what Bishop England, felt it his tetrad
dray to state many years ago, that hun
dreds, nay thousands, of souls annually
stray away from the fold in this country
on account of their early religious edu
cation. If we look for thedeseendants of
those numerous Catholic families which
have immigrated to the country during the
past and present century, we will find that
many of them•have wandered away from
the faith of their fathers, and not a few
of them are now ranking among the most
active and unrelenting enemies el the
Church of God."

Tennessee—luterestiug Letter from.an
Old Subscriber.
(Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.i
OAS Ent SEMINARY, TENN.,
Nay 10th 1869
, •
Mirrors GAZETTE: Having been
a reader of the Pittsburgh GAZETTE
from the earliest period of my redollec
tion, and inasmuch as I receive it no less
regularly In this distant clime than I did
under my paternal roof, surrounded by
my school boy associates, within six
miles of your city, and as the period will
soon arrive when a renewal of my sub,
scription for your tralutsble Weekly will
be necessary, the thought has occurred to
me that with a little vigilance I may per
haps send the names of some eight or ten
new subscribers.
Emigrants in search of homes are al
most daily arriving at Tullahoma, many,'
lam happy to say, from Pennsylvania,
my native State. They have already pro
cured homes, and are much pleased with
the country and climate. We have bad a
very cold,backw and spring, end farmers are
now busily engaged in planting corn and
cotton, which is at least one month later
than usual. 1 , Our peach crop in Middle
Tennessee will be almost an entire failure,
but the prospect for a large crop of apples
and cherries is flattering. Many of our
apples at present are as largess full grown
cherries: Never within the recollection
of the oldest citizen has there been a sim
ilar prospect for so heavy a yield as that
promised in the present growing wheat
crop of Middle Tennessee. Having -re
cently traveled through portions of Lin
coln, Bedford and Warren counties, I
wasmuch pleased with the appearance of
the large wheat fields, many of them con
taining over one hundred acres, just com
ing to head.
A better day seems to be dawning for
-Tennessee. A. disposition is manifested to
forget the past. Northern men are daily
arriving in search of homes, and land, in
consequence, is steadily appreciating, but
can yet be bought at very reasonable
prices. An improved farm of some two
hundred acres, within one mile of Con
cord, on the Manchester and licMinville
Railroad, was recently sold. to , a gentle- -
man from Mercer county, Pennsylvania,
for $2.500. A large paper mill, owned by
Mr. Whiteman, of Nashville, has recently
been started, and is in successful opera
tion, at Manchester. our county seat. It is
now manufacturing from four to five
thousand pounds of paper per day. A.
large cotton factory will also be put under
contract in a few weeks. Middle Tennessee
may well be proud of , her water privileges.
Cascade Falls, Rutledge Falls, and the
falls of Duck river, at Manchester, have
scarcely a parallel for manniacturing pur
poses in the known world.
Rev. Mr. Jewett, formerly Profesdor of
Oak Hill Seminary, who removed to the
far West during the war, his many friends
will be pleased to learn, is about 'to re
turn and resume his former position. He
is a gentleman of untarnished reputation.
The Sabbath Schools of Tullahoma,
Oak Hill, Manchester, Beach Grove and
McMinvillir had a picnic at Manchester
on Saturday, May Bth. The sky serene
and the day lovely, rendered it truly an
interesting time, and many little hearts
'were made to repice in the festivities of
the occasion.
Persons visiting this locality will, by
calling on Messrs. Campbell and Gentner,
enterprising merchants of TullabOna., re
ceive any information that they' are in
possession of relative to the country.
SAMUEL ScoTT.
We find the following in our exchanges,
Is the expression of the President of the
Phtladelphin, Wilmington and BaltimOre
Railroad, -concerning steel rails :
• "The first steel rail imported has al
ready worn out sixteen iron rails, and
we have not now any reason that the
latter Invoices are of an inferior quality.
But there is great fear on my part that
railroad companies will tnemselves tempt
steel-makers to send a poor article by
buying WO cheapest—first cost only con
sidered—as they did with - the iron mas
ters. It rests with railroad men to keep
steel rails good by buying no poor ones.
"We try steel with the chisel for hard.
ness, with WI trip-hammer for toughness,
and for strength with the 2.240 pound
drop tifteenleet, the rail resting on sup
porters three feet apart. Rigid inspec
tion, make no holes, or, at all events, no
punched holes, in the rails. Paneling
is bad enough for iron, but death to steel.
"We, op Friday last, dropped out 2-
240-pound 'trip' twenty feet upon a steel
rail resting on supports three feet apart.
The rail was merely bent. I have in my
office a steeljall twisted cold, into a regu
lar spiral of one entire turn to two feet
in length, without crack or flaw.
Tin recent revelations in the Hun
about J. Russell Youug, the managing
editor of the Tram', recall a little cir
cumstance in that gentleman's history
which vii' bear repeutiOn.
Fouryears ago,while Young was man
aging editor of the Philadelphia Press,
Colonel Forney came into ' the editorial
toome about ten or eleven o'clock at
night, but, to his surprise, found not an''
editor on duty. .
He then sent for the foreman of the
compoinig room,
had:
Inquired, what edi
torial ma t ter' had been given out that
evening,: and received an answer that
none of the editors had given out any
thing. Colonel. Forney quietly took his
seat and gave two or three columns of
news and editorial as rapidly as he could
prepare it.
Next morning when the editors came
in they found Colonel Forney looking I
sternly, and, without any words, he Ira•
- mediatt4 wrote for all of them a fur
lough for a week. As a' result of this
movement, Manager Young was left with
the paper on his hand and without any
help.
He immediately.sent in his resignation,
which was promptly accepted, as it was
exactly' what Colonel Forney wanted.
This is the way in which Young resigned
the editorial numagentent of the ?Wade',
