Religion 'in the Armr«*lnteresting
Meeting.
A preliminary meeting was held last even
; ing, in the Second Presbyterian Church, (Dr.
for the purpose of awakening a
more lively interest in behalf'of the moral
welfare of the'army. The audience was quite
Urge, and the addresses delivered upon_tbe
occasion were highly interesting.
Mr. J. C. Bliss, (student,) gave a narrative
■ of his redent visit to.the camps on the Po~
tomao, in company with Rev. W. A. Passa
rant. He related many incidents, tending to
illustrate the eagerness with which the sol
■ diers listen to religious instruction, and the
aridity with which they seize tracts, books,
and papers of a moral character. There wero
some few regiments in which the spirit of
"Christianity was almost wanting, owing to
the inefficiency and utter unfaithfulness of
the chaplains. But in every instance where
a devoted, and sealous minister was'found,
there weremany true believers, and all lis>
' toned to the gospel with becoming solemnity.
1 It was proposed, by means of the ** Christian
Commission/’ to have all unworthy chaplains
'removed, to furnish good men in their places.
It was .also proposed to supply the army with
suitable reading, and to stir up the church to
alienee of her duty in subscribing liberally
for this purpose.
.V ;Dr. Howard read a note from Rev. W. A.
'' Passavant, in which he regretted that he
. ttiUd not bo present, owing to a provions en
gagement.
( . i)r. H. W. Jacobus was invited to address
the audience, and responded in a very able
manner. He thought that if the church
would enter heartily upon the cultivation of
the field presented to her, the terrible civil
war might result in vast good—a glorious re
rival might be witnessed. He urged the duty
J "iwfyrayingand laboring for the moral welfare
w of thi entire army.
: - Bar. C. G. Chase, of the First Baptist
Church, followed in an interesting address
*. upon the same subject. The propogation of
• religious .truth among the army was ontircly.
feasible, and the church owed it as a debt of
. gratitude to these brave men to give liberally
■ forVthis purpose. By the camp?,
" ihitead or blunting and debasing-the morals
."“.'of the soldiers,'would be the means of advanc
ing their eternal interests, and better fitting
.them for the~dutlei of life when the war was
' % orer.
; • Rr. Baird, of Ncw-Tork, was next called
to.addreis the audience. He illustrated
.'Wdße under discussion by citing the in-
flltthM of religion upon the civil wars in Ger
-c;, m»ny» and particularly in the part played by
Adolphus, of Sweden. He also al
. the career of Cromwell, as bearing
' rages'the tame point, end was still speaking
we iaft the church.
This meeting will doubtless be followed by
■ ’' others* and as the cause is worthy the highest
• • efortsoftho religious community, it is to be
".'•hoped'' thfctU may meet with a cordial and
ti-': actions support, aid that much good may be
thereby accomplished.
Arrival'of Col. Wynkoop’s Cavalry--
. Their Reception, etc. ...
. ■ * . Last evening, about 8 o'clock, eleven co'm
* panles of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry,
-. command of - Col. George C. Wynkoop,
reached thi* city on special trains from Har
, n«burg. This regiment consists of three
battalions, (twelve fall companies,) number
ing in all one thousand two hundred men.
' 'They irere aU recruited in the eastern part of
' the State, are folly equipped, and taken all
v -in all, present decidedly the best phgrifu* of

The Remains of Silver and Miller---
The Battle at Cheat Monntain.
Capt. C. T. Ewing, of Company G, (Plumer
Guards,) Seoond Virginia Regiment, arrived
here on Wednesday night, with the remains
of Sergeant Major Wm. H. Silver, of this city,
and private John S. Miller, of the First Ward,
Allegheny, both of whom died in the hospital
at Elkwater, Va.—the former of spinal dis
ease, and the latter of typhoid fever.
Capt. Swing states that he was not in the
late battle at Cheat having been
previously detailed on a general Coart Mar
tial. His company was in the engagement,
however, under command of Lieut. Alfred
Slckman, of Greenfield, Washington county,
who fell mortally wounded in front of the
enemy's battery. He had picked up the rifie_
of an Indiana soldier, who had jnst fallen,
and fired from behind a log at a rebel officer,
bat without effect. He reloaded and raised to
fire a second time, when a Minie bullet passed
entirely through his breast, and he expired in
a few minutes. The regiment changed its
position and the body was not obtained,
eergt. Vierheller was with him when he ex
pired.
Private Wm. Colville, of the Plumer Guardd,
whose friends reside in this city, was severely
wounded in tho engagement. A ball entered
the corner of the mouth, between the cheek
and ther jaw, and lodged in the neck, under
the skin, from whence it was extracted. The
jaw was not broken, and Colville's escape was
most remarkable.
Capt. Thomas Gibson, of the WoodsGuanls,
Co. B/*lao attached to the Second Virginia
Regiment, behaved with great galllantry and
narrowly escaped with his life. His sword
belt was shot through, and another ball pass
ed through his cap. His coolness and conrage
were highly commended. Capt. Gibson is
quite- a young man, and son of our well
known fellow citixen, Col. James A. Gibson,
late Collector of Customs.
Tho Second Virginia lost but five men killed,
although they fought from eight o'clock in
the morning until nearly dark. Tho Ninth
Indiana fought side by side with the Second
Virginia during tho greater part of tho day.
Tho losses already reported on both sides, are
confirmed by Capt. Ewing. The Fedoral force
was twenty-two hundred, while tho rebels
had over four thousand. Tho Twenty-Fifth
Ohio-suffered most. Tho whole Federal loss
was between thirty and forty killed; while
the rebels lost between one and two hundred,
beside thirty-two prisoners. The prisoners
iiave been sent to Columbus, Ohio.
Pittsburgh and vicinity was well represent
ed In the battle at Cheat Mountain, since
there are no less than four companies in the
Second Virginia Regiment, which were ro
cruited her*—namely : Woods Guilds, Co. A,
Capt. West; Woods Guards, Co. B, Capt.
Gibson; Plumer Guards, Capt. Ewing, and
Belmont Guards, Capt. Soott.
Capt. Ewing brings $3,500, sent by mem
bers of his company to their friends. He can
be seen at No. 102 Fourth street, at the office
j of D. H. Haxen, Esq.
A Healthy Regiment.
Tho Twenty-Eighth Regiment, under com- |
mand of Col. John W. Geary, of Westmoro- j
land county, now in sorvicc near Point of j
Rocks, has lost bat/our men by disease since j
called to duty. Another romarkablo fact con- j
nected with this body, is, that not- a single j
man hm been killed by the enemy, notwith
standingthoy have been in two or three very
sharp engagements, and have always boon in
close proximity to the enemy’s pickets. A
member of this regiment writes os follows r
“Since our organization wo have lost but
seven men by death, and but four of these
were the result of disease; two by the acci
dental discharge of firearms, and one was
drowned by {ailing into the lock at Harper's
Ferry, while on picket duty. No other regi
ment has been so constantly and actively en
gaged as this. We have 'made moro hard
marches any other, and had our full
share of skirmishes with the enemy, and in ad
dition to all this, L we havo been located since
Jnly~iBth in Che'most unhealthy climate,
perhaps, in the United States. Close to our
prosent encampment, there ira burial ground,
where more than fivohundred men are buried,
who fell victims to disease while engaged on
the public works near by. At this time there
are eat twenty-five men in the regiment who
are unable for duty." (
Tbe-above pretests a striking contrast to
tho lists of mortality is other .Pennsylvania
regiments. What is the reason? Has Col.
Geary better materiaPthan other commanders,
or are better cared for? The Sani
tary Commision might obtain some useful in
formation by.cxamining into the sanitary reg
ulations of this regiment.
Gen. Facing the
Enemy.
, From letter written by Capt. Jas.
▲. Lowrie, Assistant Adjutant General, at
tached to Gen. Negley's staff, we learn that
that brigade is now composed of the 76th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, Col. Sirwell; 79th
Pennsylvania, Col. Hambright; Ist Wiscon
sin, Col. Starkweather, and 33th Indiana, Coi.
Scribner-Pearly 3,91)0 men. The brigade is
altogether the $ nest in the best
looking, best dressed, cleanest, and best be
haved, and is not surpassed for proficiency in
drill. The brigade, at the date of the letter,
(December 14,) was at Camp Wood, Bacon
Creek, Ky., baring made the march in fine
style, coming in solidly, without straggling.
The rebel pickets occupy the other (South)
side of Green river; oars occupy this bank,
and have been firing epon each other, bat no
one, up to that date, had been hurt. : There is
“big talk" about-taking Christmas dinner in
Nashville, bgt the writer seems to think-that
Nashville is too fa* and Christmas too near to
meet both at once. .

Killod on the Railroad.
Michael Borgoon, a fireman on one of the
freight engines on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
was Jellied between Cresson and Galitsin, on
Friday morning last, under the following cir
cumstances : He had descended from the en
gine to reoover a plck-axe which badaecident
aily fallen from the tenderj and; while in the
act of doing ao, the Fast filne West, the ap
proach of which hehafinot noticed, came upon
him) the oow-eatohor striking and mutilating
him in a shocking manner, causing instant
death, f Not the least singular and painful in
cident.conneeted with the tad occurrence is
the fact that a brother of the unfortunate man
was fireman upon the very engine which
caused his''debut. Burgeon was a married
man and the father of six children.
; ; Good Advice.— As this a time when monoy
i* spent freely, and generally without proper
regard to return of value, we advise our
readers .who are in purinit of presents, to visit
the Dry Goods stores of our city, where-thoy
will find articles of fcfßuty and of real intrin
sic value also. We are persuaded that by in
specting the immense and varied stock °f the
Messrs. Barker A Co., 59 Market street, you
gill ie cohrinoed of this. Their prices are so
low as to permit a large liberty in taste, at
little expense. Go and see, and we are saiis-
Aed you will feel obliged to usjbr.our advice.

Christmas Presents, and Where to
Get Them.
Of the many articles adapted for Christmas
presents, there are none likely to prove so ac
ceptable to a friend, or for which you will be
remembered so gratefully, at a good Sewing
machine. Books, however expensive or in
teresting, are soon read and thrown aside, and
it is the samo with all those articles which have
but theirnovelty to recommend them; but with
the Bowing machine It is different. Like “a
thing of beauty/’ it remains “a joy forever"
in the house—its familiar click ! click ! click !
proclaiming at once its own usefulness and
the forethought and good taste of the person
who presents it. And now that we have shown
our readers how acceptable and really valuable
a present a sewing machino would make for a
friend, the inquiry will very naturally occur
where is it to be had—where can we get the
be3t? To this wc-unhesitntingly answer, at
the Wheeler k Wilson*Sewing Machine Agen
cy, No. 27 Fifth street. The merit of this
machino has been so long established, and its
superiority to all its competitors such a fixed
faot, that we have no hesitation whatever in
recommending it to those of our friends who
are not as yet supplied. The advantages of
'this machine are manifold. Its neatness of
finish; the beauty, strength and durability
of its sowing : its extreme simplicity and the
impossibility almost of Us getting ont of
order, with the extraordinary oase with which
it Is operated, and the incredible rapidity with
Which it docs its work, all combine to rendor
it the best sewing machine ever invontod, and
the machine above all others for family work.
Messrs. Sumner A Co., agents for the sale of
the machino here, have now on band a splen
did collection, embracingevery style of stands,
and at all prices. A finer lot of machines we
havo never examined, and the person who
could not select from them, would be hard to
please. Remember what we have said about
the appropriateness of these machines for
holiday presents, and instead of squandering
your money on gew-gaw jewelry, drop in
and bay one of them for your friend.

flanked with about 200 infantry, suddenly
commenced shelling the encampment of Col.
Oeary’s regiment. About twenty of the
shells, which were well aimed, amidst
the encampment, the first within a few feet of
Lieut. Col. De Korponay, commanding. Tho
six companies in the camp were immediately
well deployed and entrenched, and the bat
tery of the. Pennsylvania 28th regiment
opened fire with two guns. The first shot,
which was sighted by Capt. Knap, disabled
ono of the rebel guns, ana the second, sighted
by Lieut. Geary, fell in their centre. Our
battery then advanced and poured '* contin
uous fire into the rebels, silencing all their
guns and driving back a fourth ono, which
was sent to reinforce them. The rebels wore
driven from their position in full rotreat,
with a loss of fourteen killed, as far as is
known, and many wounded. Our side did
not lose a man. Tho engagement lasted over
half an hour. After the route of the rebels,"
the viotors turned their guns on some houses
situated near the old furnace, on tho Virginia

them. The guns were admirably served. 1

XliniTH CONGRESS-—FIRST SESSION,
Washikgtos Citt, Dec. 19,1661- . <
Sr.vatk.—Mr. Sumner* of Mass., presented
petitions, numerously signed, for the emanci
pation of the slaves, with compensation to the
loyal masters. I
Mr. Wade, of Ohio, presented a petition :
from the citizens of Ohio, ashing that John C. '
Fremont be appointed Liont. General. !
Mr. Wiley, of Ya., offered a resolution that j
the existing war was forced upon the country 1
by the States in rebellion without provocation, |
and was designed to destroy the Union and
Constitution, and that its purpose was to dis
avow andrepudiate the fundamentalprinciples
of the Bepuolican Government. He proceeded
to speak at length on the resolution, contend
ing that the rebellion was perfectly unjusti
fiable. In no country was life so secure, and
civil and religious liberty more perfect. The
country was in an unexampled prosperity and
especially was the South f&rored, and conse
quently there could be no grievances as a
cause for rebellion. As a Virginian and a
slaveholder, he declared that the Sooth always
! got what she demanded.
Mr. Wiley commended the proclamations
of those Generals who declared tnat it was not
their intention to interfere with loyal institu-
tions,and expressed his gratification the
President in his Message had reiterated his fi-
deiity to the Constitution. He declared that by
no efforts of his should slavery be extended,
though he believed it was necessary for the pre
sent that the African race should be kept in
bondage.
He gave brief sketch of the rise of secession.
It was the result ofalong concocted conspira
cy, as avowed by the leaders of the rebellion.
He argued at some length against the doctrine
of secession and contended that the real cause
of secession was hostility to the democr&tio
principles of a republican government. With
out concluding his speech, Mr. Wiley gave
way to a motion for an executive session.
The resolution from the House to adjourn
to tho 6th of January was taken up and Mr.
Carlisle, of Va., moved to amend so as to ad-

public Navy Yard, as far as practicable, or by
proposals, to be published in the papers of

more- - "
Mr. Scdgcwickj of N.

WasbihotoN/Dcc. 19.—As tho subject of

in Washington, 1,744, and , in the', remainder
of the District, 834, making a total of 3,185.

provides for twenty-fivo additional clerks, at
a salary of $3OO each; in accordance with the
recommends tloni of tho Post-master General,
to return all dead letters to their writers, and
not valuable letters alone, as now. By the
estimates’of the Department, At this present
postage, the receipts on these. de4d letters
would exceed tho cost of the required clerks'
$13,000 per year*. .But' the bill ‘as reported
from tho Post Office Committee inereSifts the

number of private letters were received from

similar to. those indulged ‘in by the press of

New York, Dec. 19.—At the bank meeting
held to-day, alLthe-impunding questions,,
tho account with'tho Treasury Department, l
were harmo'niously abutted.
Secretary Chase stated that the present
balance with the assoeiated banks would be
sufficient for the wants of the Government
till about the middle of January, before which,
time he had confident expectations that our;
military and naval operations will glvobril- 1
liant and decisive results, and he did not
doubt that the questions with Great Brittih
’ would have a pacific Solution. He made no
propositions for further financial arrange
ments at this timo.
The Evening Pott says that about $300,000
will be sent to Europe in the steamer Africa.
The rumor prevails that Secretary Chase
has received a dispatch from Washington that
justifies tho belief that the Trent affair will
be amicably arranged.
It was adduced in evidence to-day that
Chas. Jefferds confessed to the brother of the
murdered man, his guilt in taking the life of
John Walton, his step-father, in June, 1860.
