ply t , qaty by supporting the organi
zatiou of ~the Democratic party
'There is no' other thoroughly loyal ,

'been national ;. it is the only party
'that has no affiliation of sympathy :
-with flectionalism---North or South—
it:is the-.only party that is not in
the sympathy or support of such
friends as Wade, Silinner, Greeley,
Phillips, Lovejoy and Wilmot. The '
.national men who supported Bell 1

canvass,
we believe, may now be I
counted in the ranksi of the Demo- i

Democratic party, which has rallied I
once more under the designation , of I
the Beople'S Party. :This ;arty 'held
their Convention at Harrisburg on
the. 17th. instant, and their true
' character is abundantly shown in
:that in their resolutions they eulo
aize and sustain Senator Wilmot,
nd condemn Senator Cowan, both
by the homage paid to Mr. Wilmot,
and by refusing to Mr. Cowan even
the meed of "faint praise." The
distinguishable feature in the politi
cal course of those two Senators, it is
well known, is that Mr. Wilmot has
supported the extremist Abolition
74ciribers of the present Congress,
W t hilit Mr. -Cowan...has won Ole qd
piration and confidence of every
Vnion-lOving patriot in the laud, by
librieit and fearless opposition to
these measures--measures that tend
ed to make Dieunion perpetual.
Can any loyal man in the State,
therefore, hesitate which of the tWo
politica( organization§ is entitled-to
his support ?. The standard. bearers
selected ,-. by the 'Democratic State
pertientiou are in every respect de
serving of your confidence.
ISAAC &MEER, Esq., our candi
date for Auditor General. is a gen
tleman of distinguished ability and
spotless reputation. He is a native
of York county, Pennsylvania—born
of German parents, and who were
tillers' of the soil. The early politi
cal ooarse and well tried integrity of
laaac Slenker, is known to many of
the people of Pennsylvania. In
1831 he . was elected to represent
Union. and Northumberland counties
to the Sehatb of Pennsylvania; and
'while too" many Senators in that
body yielded to the influences that
were employed by the late Bank of
the United States to obtain its char
ter from a Pennsylvania Legislature,
Isaac Slen!cer, with eleven others,
as honest men, resisted these influ
ences, and. won the reputation of
faitlittil among the faithless. He
was ution! the Judiciary Committee
Of the Senate, and took an active
part in the revision of our civil
Code. At the expiration of his Sen
atorial term, lin. sleriker returned
again-to -the Practice of his profes
tliOn as a, lawyer, and since then has
been out of public position, except
that in 1856 hc.waa one of 'the f'res
idtaitiftl Eleetore' on the Democratic
Utica in this State. Mr. Slenker is
a gentlemen of commanding abilities;
highly exemplary in his habits of
life; of great industry and purity of
character.
COL. JAMES P. BARR, our candidate
for Surveyor General, is the editor
and proprieter of the Pittsburgh
post, a newspaper that since Mr.
Earr's 'connection with it, has ever
been the advocate of sound princi
ples. During the present civil war
the * Post has ably advocated the
prosecution of the war for the sup
pression of the rebellion, and the
preservation of the Constitution and
the Union. At the same time it has
been unspairing in its hostility to
that disloyal party or combination
that has sought to prostitute such
iyar to the mere purpose of' negro
iniancipation, and to that policy in
conducting it that necessarily tends
to make disunion perpetual, and to
,permanently destroy our republican
form •of government. Mr. Barr,
like Mr. Ranker, is a Pennsylvanian
by birth, born in the county of West-
Moreland—is a-practical printer—
has raised himself to a proud politi
cal and business position by his in
dustry and energetic character, and
is a gentleman of promptness and
integrity in all his private and polit
„iefil relations.
While our candidates have great
reason to . entertain a just pride that
they have been selected as the
standard-bearers of a great national
' party, struggling to maintain the'
Union' and Comititutioe . against d an

INDIAN MASSAORE IN MINNESOTA.
A dispatch dated at St. Paul, Fri
day, gives further particulars of the
massacre by the Indians in Minnesota,
previously reported. The roads in
all directions to New Ulra are lined
with the bodies of murdered men, wo
men and children. J. J Porter, of
Waukato, a member of the last Min
nesota legislature, has ajrived at St.
Paul's to procure arms. He was one
of the committee se to New Ulm to
learn the truth of th'e reported mur
ders. He saw four persons wounded
in one room, cut with hatchets in their
heads and arms. A little girl was cut
across her face, breast and arms. A
little boy was dreadfully cut up; also,
a middle aged woman in an adjoining
room. He saw a child with its head
off, and twenty-seven others mutila
ted with gashes. The people of New
Ulm are drilling with what arms they
can get, are fully awake-to their dan
ger, and are determined to defend the
town to the last. Mr. Porter left
New Ulm Tuesday morning, and was
overtaken by a man who reported that
the Indians attacked the town, two
hundred strong, at five p. M., and
burned several buildings. Several
citizens were seen to fall. The peo
ple had gathered together and barri
caded the street. Letters from Gov
ernol! Ramsey rays that hundreds are
known to be kilted, and it is believed
thousands.
As soon as the newa of the Indian
troubles reached the'city, Gov. Ram
sey went to Fort Snelling and gave
orders for foiir, pmp.aiiiea to start at
once for the - scene of the disturb
ances. The command of the expedi
tion was given to ex Governor Sib
ley. The whole matter was confided
to his discretion and from his knowl
edge of the country and of Indian
character, there can be but little
doubt of his success in preventing
further outrages. We doubt, howev
er, whether he will be able to find a
single Indian when he arrives at the
reservation. If be had one or two
companies of cavalry they might
possioly be overtaken.
PRE ABOUT THE INDIAN MA BSA
ORE.
Mr. Goodell arrived in St. Paul
from Glencoe on Saturday night and
brings the welcome news that sixty
two persons supposed killed are
safe. Among the party were forty
two women and children, and twen
ty men. As regards the fate of the
Missionaries, he thinks about forty
tontines including these between La
equi, Rorie and the Agency are kill
ed ; and says all the former Intlinps
gathered at Mr. Rigg's house to de
fend him, but must have been over
powered.
A messenger from lienderson says
the - half breed scout Frenier would
return to Fort Ridgley and give the
inmates assurances of roliet• and in
duce them to hold out. There can
be no surrender without annihilation,
and the inmates know it. Col. Sib
ley's force was at St. Peters at 4
o'clock on Saturday morning, fifty
miles fi•om Fort Ridgley, and could
not reach them before Sunday even
ing. Col. Cullen, with 700 cavalry,
proposed to strike across the coun
try from Henderson and may get
ahead of him, It is believed the In
dians will got information of the
force advancing and hastily leave the
fort. Col. Cullen says the further he
advances the news becomes worse.—
Alt the inhabitants are flocking into
towns.
Hon. J. R Cleveland writes on the
21st from Mantoka, "the stages from
New thin last night saw horrible
sights. In one instance the bodies
of eight stalwart men whose throats
were cut from ear to ear, skulls bat
tered and limbs mutilated; knew
some of them; all good citizens.—
Our opinion is that in Brown county
not less than five hundred were mas
sacred. Large portions of Blue
Earth and Brown counties are de
populated. The wheat was left un
stacked in the fieldQ, the owners fly
ing eastward.
The °ease of the Indian Ml3it;r 31
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—The St. Paul
Press, of the 14th, says ; After care
ful consideration of the evidence ac
cumulated so far, we are forced to
the conviction that the influence of
white men was at the bottom of the
Indian massacres. For weeks past
white men, Missourians, have been
among them. The facts that remt.te
tribes like the Yanktons and Cut
heads are moving in concert with the
Sioux, that a largo force attacked a
fortified artillery post like Fort
Itidgely, an attack without precedent
in Indian history, and that of the In
dians butchering missionaries wh
have spent their whole lives among
thorn, and who in ordinary disturbsn
ces• would possess great influence
over them, all seem .to indicate some
directing intelligence superior to
that' qft , halndiao.. We are forced to
the cOneinsioo Oat this outbreak, at
least irk part, bas been if concerted
plan, ins purpose being to embarrass
and distrabt the general government,
by I,boining it for the safety of the

might, otherwise, be differentlV

• iitB PULSED.
Ctscuts.tri, August 26.—A special •
tio-digy's Centeteteial, from the Chap
lain of the 71st Ohio, and dated Fort
Donelson on the 25th, says the rebels,
under Col. Woodward, the same that
took Clarksville, Tennessee, made an
attack on Fort Donelson, and were
repulsed, with a loss of thirty killed
an,c). wounded. Colonel Woodwa,rd's
liin'se was killed under him, and his
saddle and pistol are now in our
_possession.
The rebels sent a flag of trucelpre
vions to the attack demanding a
surrender of the Fort. The question
was put to the officers, every man of
whom voted "No." The enemy's
force consisted of four hundred and
fifty infantry, three hundred and thir
ty-five cavalry, and two field pieces.
The Fort was under command of
Maj. Hoit, with four companies of
the 71st Ohio, Col. Rodney Mason's
regiment.
The Commercial's Lexington des
patch says there is no occasion for
alarm about Gen. Morgan's position,
(at Cumberland Gap.—Cuaox. ) A
courier just arrived, reports no fear
of starvation. The rebels have fif
teen thousand in front, and thirty
thousand in the rear, commanded by
Gens. Bragg, Floyd, and Kirby Smith.
Cassius M. Clay left to-day with
his brigade. Gen. Nelson has re
lieved Maj. General Lew. Wallace,
and will take the field. Colonel
Charles Anderson, of the Ninety-
Third Ohio, has been appointed °am
mander of this post. The Negro
Brigade to repair the roads injured
by the rebels leaves to morrow.—
; Gen. Jas. S. Jackson, late Congress
man of the Second District here, is to
take the field immediately.
The Cincinnati Gazette's Frank tort
corre'spondent's dispatch says :—Ar
rivals from the Mountains bring
more cheering news. Gen. Morgan
has repulsed a large force of the reb
els on the other side of the Gap.—
Tie has enough provisions and forage
to last thirty days. and is in no dan
ger. Col. Garrard had several skir
mishes with the enemy, repulsing
them every time.
Steamer Sunk-75 to 80 Lives Lost--The
Earn Sumpter Aground--HoOdnsville
Taken by the Rebels.
CAIRO. Aug. 24.—The steamer Asa
cia ran on a snag, sixty miles below
Memphis, at one o'clock, on. Thursday
morning, and sunk in a few minutes.
She had one hundred and fifty pas
sengers, six of whom were ladies;
she bad also a large cargo, including
seventy-five tons of Sutler's goods.—
In five minutes after striking she cap
sized her upper deck, and it floated
off; many of the passengers who
clung to it were saved, but lully half
were in the berths asleep, and were
lost. Most of the passengers were
soldiers, returning to their regiments.
A number of the survivors have ar
rived at Helena. Not less than sev
enty-five or eighty persons perished.
The Captain and most of the crew
were saved. The list of the loss has
not vet been received.
The Jackson Mississippian says the
Federal ram Sumter grounded op
posite Bayou Sara. The authorities
demanded the surrender, but the
crew and stores were put on the
transports and the Sumter blown
up.
Orders have been issued forbidding
the travel of civilians over the Nubile
and Ohio Railroad.
Telegraph, from Smithland,
TTopkinsville, Ky., was taken on
day by the rebel J.,hnson, with .
hundred men, and he was moving

morning in pursuit of them. They
came up with the enemy seven miles
from here, on this road to Clarksville,
strongly posted with men in ambush,
and after a half hour's fighting, the
enemy retreated leaving their can

and eighteen wounded. Col.. Lowe's
force, not being sufficient to continue
the pursuit, returned.
Appearance of Locusts.
The seventeen year locusts have
made their appearance in hordes in
some parts of Kansas. The grass is
full of holes from which they have
emerged, and their crystal coats are
lying around everywhere. The air
is vocal with their music, and the
bushes are covered with them. In
company with the locusts are count
less thousands of grasshoppers, and
the ravages of the combined armies
begin to excite a fear that vegatation
along their line of ninrch will be to

Rebef 4 Raid on lianas.) !
The most, important intelligence
from the artny is the recent cavalry
raid of Ws; enemy on Manassas
Junction and Pristow Station on
Tuesday evening. The troops enga
ged,. numbered, according to all ac
counts, nearly two thousand men,
and were a portion of Col. Fitzhugh
Lee's forces, which made the attack
on Catlett's Station a - rew dayS pre
vious. The attack appears to have
first been made. upon a train of cars
at Bristow, about four and a half
miles west of Manassas; but the
train putting on extra speed escaped.
The rebel bavalry then made a dash
at Manassas, where they were par
tially checked by the Eleventh New
York battery. The resistance,
though gallant, was ineffectual, and
the rebels destroyed everything
within their reach—the railroad
track, the cars, the telegraph wires
and all the government stores and
buildings. T he - place appears to
have been undefended save by three
or four companies of infantry and
the single battery of undisciplined
troops who were unable to make
any defence. It would seem, from
the intelligence stated on the credit
of the Baltimore American and the
National Intelligencer, that this affair
is something more than a mere raid.
For instance, the former journal an
nounced on the 27th, that large num
bers of rebel troops were then
marching on Manassas atter making
a successful • dash on the Union
troops m the town of Waterford.—
The IntalligencTr confirms this state
ment, and says that at the latest ac
counts (yesterday morning) fighting
was still going on at Manassas, and
that large bodies of our troops were
going out there.
THE LATE INDIAN MASBAORE,
ST. PAUL, Aug 28.—There were
ten whites killed and fifty-one
wounded at the New Ulm fight Sat
urday. The Indians fought bravely
and recklessly. Their loss was consid
erable. On Saturday our small
force, under Maj. Flandrew, fearing
that they could not stand another
attack, withdrew to Mankato, leav
ing the town at the mercy of the In
dians. It is reported that between
four hundred sod one thousand Indi
ans were in the fight. Vol. Sibley's
command probably reached i , 'ort
Ridgely yesterday. The Adjutant
General of Minnesota has issued an
order to the commanding officers to
seize all the horses and means of
transportation necessary, giving a
receipt to the owners. The massa,
cre does not seem to be confined to
one locality. but is spread over a vast
amount of territory. It is reported
that out of forty-five families all but
two persons were killed at Lake
Shetk, sixty miles south-west of New
Ulm, but these reports are undoubt
edly exaggerated. Many persons
having fled or secreted themselves
are probably supposed to be dead.
AN INDIAN WAR IMMINENT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—A dispatch
received at the Post Office Depart
ment, dated Great Salt Lake, yester
day, says that a general war with
nearly all the Indian tribes east of
the Missouri river, is near at hand.—
Au interruption of the overland mail
is daily expected, and nothing but
prompt and decisive action on the
part of the government can prevent
it. Lives should be protected by sol
diers at ii Is of one hundred
theirs. The two armies, .or _ time
being, were on the most friendly
terms. There was no danger of dis
tarbance, as no arms were allowed
on the field by either party.
Morgan's 'Operations.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 27.—The Journal
learns that 50 of .Morgan's men
went to Scottsville, on Monday, and
made several _arrests, carried off a
large quantity of goods from the
stores, and left in the afternoon,
promising to return that night with
the whole force.
There is great excitement at Glas

Morgan is reported to be still at
Hartsville, with - 2,000 men.

THSAIfACKONSIGEOS SUPPLYTRAIN.
Desperate Skirmish with the Enemy.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.—The spe
cial correspondence of the Inquirer,
dated Manassas, August 24th, says :
On Friday evening, about .8 o'cro . ck,
as your correspondent °was in camp
with the baggage and supply trains
Of Sigel's first army corps, south of
datlett's Station, an alarm was given
that the rebel" cavalry had attacked
and taken the station.
The hospital at' Catlett's Station
was sacked, and all the sick taken
South. The rebels then had eliel`e
own way, and pillaged arid
.plundered
to their heart's content. Two sutler
wagons were plundered of such arti
cles as the scamps wanted, and then
burnt.
The rebels remained near the sta
tion nearly five hours, doing as they
pleased. A fearful thunder storm
raged during the whole time of the
attack. The lightning was almost
blinding and the thunder most ap
pallingly fearful. Rain fell in
drenching torrents. While one of
the rebel regiments was at work im
mediately at the station, another
dashed up on Gen. Pope's wagon
train, half a mile further up the road.
The train was guarded by about
two hundred of the Pennsylvania
Bucktails, under Col. Kane, who had
just reached here the previous day,
since being wounded at Cross Keys.
The men rushed out and fired a
volley in the darkness. The rebels
fell back, but advanced again, sur
rounding the whole party, and took
Col. Kane and some one hundred and
forty-nine of his men prisoners. But
Providence favoring, Col. Kane, en
couraging his men, sent them out,
one by one, to the real, in the storm,
and when all were out followed him
self, and while the rebels were ab
sorbed by the storm, escaped.
Fourteen of the same gallants
charged on a body of the rebel cav
alry, killing a large number of their
horses, which lay along the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad. The rebels
then popped over to Pope's wagons,
took all his fancy horses, papers, &e.,
and burned his two wagons. They
also robbed and burned two sutlers'
Wagons, and three of the supply wag
ons, with all the equipage of General
Pope and others, which they did not
want.
Gen. McDowell's guard lay but a
short distance off, And kept up a con
tinuous fire, aided by a few Bucktails
who had escaped previous to the sur
rounding, bat the rebels' fire and
charge was too severe, and the men
fell back. The rebels took some half
dozen horses from McDowell's train,
and all his private stores, completely
rummaging his mess chests and wag
on.
Another party had crossed the
railroad, and gone down to Generals
Ricketts' and King's supply trains,
and headquarters of the wagoners.--
They gave a tremendous shout, and
charged down into the ravine, where
General King's wagoners were upon
the outside, guarded by the Wiscon
sin troops, who drew up and fired in
to the rebel cavalry, killing two and
taking two prisoners. During a skir
tnish of nearly an hour before day
light, a squadron of the brave Col.
Allen's First Maine cavalry, charged
up the railroad, and the rebels at
once departed thence for Warrenton.
Our loss in the skirmishing of
Thursday, Friday and Saturday last,
on the Rappahannock, was astonish
ly small; perhaps not more than 150
killed and wounded, instead of 250 as
was thought yesterday.
Requests have come .hither for the
preparation of buildings to hold per
haps a thousand prisoners, taken by
Pope's army so far. They are under
stood to be 900 taken by Sigel on
Saturday at Waterloo, (a ford a short
distance above Warrenton Springs,)
when, after allowing allowing a small
brigade of the enemy to cross the
river, he opened "his batteries and
closed in his infantry so upon it that
not a man escaped ; the whole being
either killed, wounded or taken pris
oners.
The other prisoners are understood
to be one hundred and forty of Fitz
hugh Lee's marauding band that at
tacked the train at dotes on Fri
day night. We hear that Gen. Pope
despatched a pursuing force after
Lee before daybreak on Saturday, and
that a portion of that force --the First
Pennsylvania and Second New York
Cavalry—came up with Lee in time
to retake most of our men he had as
prisoners, two pieces of artillery of
ours be had appropriated a little below
Catlett's, two deserters from our side,
and one hundred and forty rebel
troopers.
THE FIGHT NEAR GALLATIN, TENN.
LOUISVILLE. Aug. 27.—Gen. R. W.
Johnson and Capt. Turner, of his
staff, and Capt Libban, of the 2nd
Indiana Cavalry, have arrived here.
They state that Gen. Johnson was
compelled to surrender near Gallatin,
on the 21st, because his force, num
bering about 700, after fighting brave
ly for some time, became unmanage
able, and finally ran, excepting about
75, who, with Gen. Johnson, Major
Wenfry, of the sth Kentucky, and
three other officers. .were taken pris
oners. The federal loss was 26 kill
ed, including Lieut. Wynkoop, of the
7th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and three
other officers, and 33 wounded. The
rebel loss, including several officers,
was 13 killed and 4 wounded. The
federal prisoners were all well treat
ed by Morgan, and released on pa
role. Morgan's force was 1,800
strong, finely equipped and mounted.
They carried along with them print
ing material, with which they regu
larly issue a newspaper called the
Vidette.
Kir It is reported in several ex
changes that Bridgeman, the
celebrated deaf; dumb, and blind girl,
who was educated -by Dr. Howe, at
Boston, has joined the Baptist Church
in Hanover, and was baptised by im

PHILADELPHIA CATTLE MARKET.
At - ous•r, 29.—The offerings of Beef Cattle

As the weather is getting cooler, the general
impression is that the stock on sale will im

The market closed very dull, and 300 to 400

larger than the demand.
HINDU° JURYMEN.
Native juries composed entirely of
Hindoos arc unwi,ling to convict in
any case in which the criminal isliable
to capital punishment. The Hind3o
jurymen pretend that it is a sin to
perform or assist in any act or decis
ion which deprives a human being of
his life. In every case as yet tried .
before a jury in Hoogbly the result
of the trial has been unsatisfactory,
and it was very evident the jury
wished to release the prisoner. In
one murder ease other feelings were
also at work. The murderer was
proved clearly guilty of having cut
off a poor lad's head and offered it to
an image he had set up of Kali.—
He burnt the head afterwards, and
the trunk was found lying on the
banks of the village called Digrah in
Thannah Goghat. The Judge, a
clear-headed man, charged for con
viction as the evidence was strong,
direct, and. clear. The jury com
posed of Ilit.doo heathens released
the murderer. Now an orthodox
Hindon has not the same feelings
that we have towards a man who
obeys the shasters and sacrifices a
human being to Kali, an idol who is
represented as delighting in such sac
rifices. It is a serious question—
ought men with such feelings and
such sympathies, and professing such
a religion, to be allowed as jurymen
and try such cases ?—Friend of India.
Itiair Fulton applied steam to the
great practical uses of the age;
Morse has brought Galvanism to be
the daily servant of millions of men.
Newton unraveled the mazes of the
stars and made their motion the
mariner's guide on, the trackless
ocean. What these men have done
in their departments, Dr. Ayer does
in medicine. le turns the great
discoveries in Science and Physics to
use in the cure of disease, and makes
the occult discoveries of the great
chemists available for the wants of
every day life. Ms medicines for
the low prices at which they are
sold, bring within the react► of every
man the best wisdom and the best
skill of modern times. [Wilmington,

ECONOMY AND PRODIGALITY.—Economy
is the parent of integrity, of liberty, and
of ease, and the sister of temperance, of
cheerfulness, and of health ; and profuse
ness is a cruel and crafty demon, that gen
erally involves her followers in depend
ence and debt ; that is, fetters them with
"irons into their souls."
PLEASURES.—There is not a little gene
ralship and strategy required in the man
aging and marshalling of our pleasures,
so that each shall not mutually enroach
to the destruction of all. For pleasures
are very voracious, too apt to worry one
another, and each, like Aaron's serpent,
is prone to swallow up the rest.
liirLife is made up, not of great sacri
fices or duties, but of little th inge, in
which smiles and kindness, and small ob
ligations given habitually, are what win
and preserve the heart, and secure cam
tort.
w-Ile that is truly polite knows how
to contradict with respect, and to please
without adulation ; and is squally remote
from an insipid complaisance, and a low
familiarity.
IaLIC4INN_INTELLiGEnE.
salrThuChurch of England is Ihw
convening annually a Church Con.
grew, a voluntary assembly of clergj ,
men and laymen for discussing im
portant qiiestions concerning the
Church. The Bishop of Oxford
presided over the last held several
weeks ago. The Congress, though
open to every party, the High Church
party was clearly in the ascendant.
Most of the papers read, and of the
propositions made,• were of a High
Church character. Dr. Ptisey on de
ing called upon to read a paper was
re c eived with the loudest acclama
tions.
Methodism, it would seem,
from what Isaac Taylor says, had
much to do with organizing the re
ligious epoch of the last century, es
pecially, so far as England is con
cerned. lie says :
"It has come to present itself as
the starting point of our modern re
ligious history ; that the field preach
ing of Wesley and Whitfield, in 178,
was the event whence the religious
epoch now current must date its
commencement ; that back to the
events of that time must we look,
necessarily, as often as we seek to
trace to its source what is most char
acteristic of the present time • and
that, yet, this is riot all, for the itieth
odisin of the past age points forward
to the next coming development of
the power or the gospel.
The warm weather and other friv
olous excuses. is frequently offered as as
apology flm: not attending divine service.--
The following reTtest is seasonable a n d to
the point:
Those persons %silo have now their
clothes fitted and made according to the
season and the fashion, are requested to•
present themselves fegularly in church,
every Sunday, and not remain any longer.
Nor should they make heat an excuse for
their absence from the sanctuary, since a
cushioned pew, around which the scented
air ciiculates, is as good a place to sleep
in as a sofa at home. Besides, as some
stay at home in winter, on account of the
cold, so they should go to church in sum
mer, on account of the warmth.
Aar The Congregational Minister
ial Association, Penobscott, Me., on
the Bth ult., licensed thirty-six young
men to preach the Gospel. The or
dination occurred in the Chapel of
the Theological Seminary.
Se-Protestantism is slowly mak
ing advancement in Spain and Portu
gal. Recent accounts represent the
circulation ofevangelical publications
on the increase. In Portugal it
easier to disseminate the truth than
in Spain.
ter The English Congregationalists
have eight eodeges for tho training
of young men fin• the ministry. The
principal institution is located near
London, anti has five professors and
sixty--two students.
