He brooked an ardent wish for dose union, by sumo mutual concessions; and in a etat42sluin-like and masterly 1119110er, sketched the o utlines of the plan.

Under this head he ado a marked compliment to Dr. Campbell d others, who have denounced this misty lusion and dangerous " hereticism."

What has come of that ? 'llle whole people of Scotland numbered Cell:gis 2,888,000 souls. Of these, United ,te Synods, Relief Churches, Cameronlans, Catholics, Methodists, Independents, and oissenters, dispose of quite the odd 800,000. that half a million, including a large por the richest and most influential members mnnunity adhered to the Establishment, , e a million and a half of the people', with the heavy responsibility of edifying Ming up another Church of Scotland.

It is very much like the strife that has been going on in Ireland, between the friends of the " godless Colleges," (the new Queen's Colleges, at Belfast, Cork and Galway,) and )r. M'llale, and the supporters of Dr. Newman and the new Roman Cath olic University in Dublin. The Lib eral party in Belgium have energeticaly protested against the interference of the Bishops, and by enlightened education, as well as by the freedom of worship and in struction secured to the Reformed Evangel ical Church of Belgium, (Presbyterian in its constitution,) there seems no doubt but that Popery is receiving damage in one of the most bigoted countries in the world. Like the male population of Romish Europe generally, the men of Belgium are generally skeptical. Some families also doubt, who do not feel sufficient anxiety about their salvation to dare all for the truth. A Lon don merchant lately informed me that he had been staying with a family for some time, resident of —, one of the largest towns of Belgium, whose minds 'were in that transition state, who, speaking English well, asked him many questions, and to whom he has recently sent a Copy of the New Testament, and " Lectures on Roman ism." May a blessing follow, and may tLe day soon dawn on Belgium when the mar tyrs and patriots, the Egmonts, Homes, and thousands more who perished under the per secution of . the bloody Alva, shall, in the resurrection of the noble principles of the Helvetic Confession, spiritually "ascend up to heaven," while' their dismayed "en emies" shall " behold them !" ' A NEW INSTITUTION IS to be founded at Paris, where the education of younr , b la dies from England can be carried on, free from Romibh influence, and under the care of faithful Protestant pastors. This move ment is the happy result of the bigoted movement of the Bishop of Arras, and I trust . will become general throughout France. A great work is doing by tracts there, and last week our Tract Society voted to the Paris Society, a grant in aid of £250. J. W. Washington Correspondence. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1856 One week has elapsed since Congress met, land yet the first step toward the practical progress of legislation has yet to be taken. Neither branch has ordered 'the customary printing of the Presi dent's Message and accompanying documents; so that if newspaper enterprise had not lifted the veil from official affairs, the public would still be ignorant of the state of governmental .transac tions during the past year. This dead-lock has been occasioned by the revival of the same sec tional questions which jarred the deliberations of Congress at the last session, and served to stir up that partizan strife which has so much tended to alienate and embitter the feelings between the North and South. The President's Message being mainly devoted to self-justification, and to a de fenee of his Kansas policy, necessarily excited the resentment of those on the one side, who felt his imputations upon their, motives and principles to be unjust; and enlisted the warm advocacy of those ou the other side, who approve his action. Consequently, the Senate appropriated every day in a discussion which has now only fairly begun, and which may extend itself far beyond the an ticipation with which it opened, under a passing impulse of disturbed feeling. In the House, Mr. Whitfield's case came up in the nature of things, upon the presentation of his credentials as delegate from Kansas. Objection was at once raised by Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, to his qualification, upon the ground, that the territorial authority under which the election was held was not valid, and therefore the election it self was null and void. He argued this point on the first day at much length, and with more than common ability. Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, re plied in behalf of Mr. .Whitfield, repeating the train of reasoning which had been pursued when the question was diecuSsed in August. After these speeches, the House came suddenly to a vote, when the friends of Mr. Whitfield were de feated by seven majority. This was on Monday last. The result was a surprise to both sides ;to the. Democracy, who were confident of success from expected divisions among their opponents ; and to the Republicans, who had acted without concert, and gained some support that was quite unexpected. In order to clinch the triumph, Mr, Grow followed up his first movement by the usual parliamentary motion ; but his adversaries, who had by this time recovered from the shock of a tempbrary 'defeat, rallied their forces, and •di rected their efforts to' a postponement of the final test, until their absentees, who were numerous enough to decide it favorably, could be brought in. This game was pursued from Monday until Friday, when, having recruited their strength, the "filibustering" process, -as it is popularly called, was abandoned, and the House voted on Mr. Grow's motion, which was defeated by three majority. Then the Republicans, who had been compelled to bear the application of pirliamen tary tactics, proposed to turn the tables upon their opponents, in order to stave off the final re sult. As soon as the announcement was, made, that the Whitfield men had triumphed, Mr. Gid dings moved a call of the House, one of the modes of delay and distraction, which had been practiced by the other side since Monday. The proposition created universal good humor, being the best practical commentary that could have been offered, and one which called out a spontaneous burst of merriment. In this temper, the House concluded to postpone the last trial until Tues day, and then it proceeded to draw seats by lot. As luck would have it, - the name of James W. Whitfield was the first drawn from the box, and then both sides gave way to unrestrained fun. These little incidents, so unimportant in them selves, have had the effect of distributing good feeling around the House, and of relieving some of that stiffness and reserve which recent politi cal events had encouraged. The public business will be much benefitted by such friendly disposi tion. Little doubt is now entertained of Whit field's admission. The vacancies at the last session, since filled by Democrats, and the co-operation of Mr. Fillmore's Northern friends, secure it beyond reasonable contingency. The recent course of President Pierce, in die- missing some of the most obnoxious Fedora officials in Kansas, taken in connexion with the judicious parts of Gov. Geary's polioy, have in spired confidence that peace will be at length es tablished in that unhappy Territory, and the out rages which disgraced humanity and a Christian age, will be summarily arrested. If this policy was extended so far as to embrace the dismissal of Judge Lecompte, who has spread terror every w,here by the exercise of judicial tyranny, it would consummate the good work of justice, and restore a reign of peace and security. This pur pose was entertained at the last session, and only deferred from the apprehension that it might be regarded as a concession to the coercive measure threatened by the House, in refusing supplies for the army. Stronger reasons exist now than did then; because, added to the great wrong of in carcerating men for "constructive treason "—a crime unknown to the Constitution or laws—he has released upon nominal bail a desperado whose hands were red with innocent blood, shed almost before the eyes of the Governor of the Territory. In all these angry contentions between sectional interests, Kansas has suffered, whether one or the other side succeeded. It is time she should have repose, and that the superior advantages with which Providence has blessed that soil, should be so developed as to diffuse happiness among an industrious population, and to con tribute something to the aggregate prosperity of the whole Union. The rumor has been current throughout the past week, that the Department of State had been tendered to Gem Cass, by Mr. Buchanan. It is unfounded. No offer of any kind has yet been made, and the President-elect has . committed him self against development in this respect, for nearly two months to come. Still the impression prevails very strongly, that this,seleetion may be eventually adopted. Mr. Buchanan and Gen. Cass were long competitors for the Presidential nomination, an d it is fitting that, in the close of their careers, Bo rne becoming compliment should obliterate any formor recollection of jarring.in terests. It seems to he now settled, upon the best in formation which has reached here from Wheat land, that Mr. ,Buchannn has determined not to invite a member of his Cabinet from Pennsylva nia, as has been persistently urged upon him. This determination proceeds doubtless from the difficulty of discriminating satisfactorily betiieen THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER .AND ADVOCATE, the host of friends presented, and of choosing without manifesting what might be regarded an invidious preference. Hence, he has decided to avoid this difficulty, and perhaps wisely for his own ease. Another point considered to be set tled is, that he will bring into the Administration one member from the old Whig party, which united in his support at the recent election. Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, is indicated as the repre resentative man of that idea; but he has not, of course ' been designated. Mr. Buchanan's recent speech to the students of Franklin College, fur nishes a key to his intended policy, and verifies, literally, the suggestions contained in my last letter. His aim will be to bring back the Govern ment to its old paths and ancient dignity, and to restore an era of moderation, which departed when the excesses of party began to run riot nearly thirty years ago. In this effort, Mr. Buchan an will have the sympathies and the support of all fair men, without respect to political bias. Whether we be Whigs, Democrats, Republicans, Americans, or anything else, we should be equal ly interested in maintaining the honor and wel fare of the country, and in giving the adminis tration of the Government that elevated tone by which the respect and regard of other nations will be attracted and ensured. Mr. Buchanan has passed that period of life when mere expert- of state-craft offer any temptation to am bition. Instead of dashing out in a hazardous career, he seeks to pursue a quiet and dignified course, illustrating it by his personal character and integrity. In dispatching a special commissioner to New Grenada, the Government here designed to em phasize its estimation of the difficulties in dis pute, and to promote a speedy settlement of the claims occasioned by the bloody riot at. Panama, in April last. It has become apparent, too, that neither the central authority at Bogota, nor the State of Panama, are prepared to afford that security across the Isthmus, and at the termini, which is necessary to American life and property. Under these circumstances, Mr. Marcy has pre pared a projet, proposing a grant of land along the route of the railroad, under the jurisdiction of the United States; to make Panama and As pirivall free cities, obligated to furnish a munici pal police for the desired security; to settle all the claims and indemnity for losses sustained in the riot; and to regulate the postal connexions on such a basis, as will relieve the onerous tax now attempted to be imposed. The residentminister, Mr. Bowlin, is not superseded ; and Mr. Morse, the special commissioner, is instructed to return as soon as the particular objects for which lie' is sent out, are either completed, or positively clogged. A CALM O.IIBBILVEIL Per the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate S3rnodical. Convention. It appears from the proceedings of the Synod of Cincinnati, officially received, that they are awake upon the College question. At their called meeting in Dayton, on the 19th ultimo, one hundred and eight votes were cast. Of these, ihirty-five were cast in favor of a resolution to concur with the action of the Synod of Ohio, fix ing the site of the proposed Synodical College at Chillicothe, and seventy-three against'the reso lution. Synod then acceded to the proposition to meet in Convention in the city of Columbus, somd fixed upon the Fourth Tuesday (the 23d) of December, at 7 o'clock P."M., as the time. As the subject on hand is one not of mere local, but of general in terest, let the site of the proposed College be de termined by aid the proper representatives of all the churches in the two Synods. As there might be, (because of our many vacant churches,) let there be a majority of Ruling Elders in that Con vention. Let them enjoy their right, and in so doing, perform a duty which may tell on the destiny of the Church, and the welfare .of thou sands, even millions, in future ages. We would urge upon the Sessions of onr vacant churches to send up their delegates, that they may, take part in this important decision, .and become identified in this great enterprise. W. M. 'R. Newark, November 27, 1856. litis gtt,prinunt Washington, Oua COURESPONDENCE.—We think that, our readers will be well pleased with our letters from Washington. The writer is a gentleman well acquainted with men and things at the seat of Government, familiar with our public affairs, and of great independence and vigor of mind. He may not always view things as we should our selves, nor may he show, in every, case, the pre ferred loadings and partialities of our readers. But he will give facts, and reflections, and food for thought. We shall be much the wiser for reading him carefully, though we hold our own opinions still. Pressinzur's MESSAGE.—We present as usual, this dochment in full. It may not be our place to criticise it. Some parts of it we do not like, as a State paper, emanating from the Head of the Government. . The President may exhibit his own policy and defend it, but as President of the United States, he , should be neither a political partizan nor a sectionalist. THE STATE PAPERB.—It is our purpose to , give more extended synopses than formerly, of the Departments. Every man should be well informed on such matters. Our boys now growing, are soon to be the governing power : and to vote in telligently, and make good magistrates, legisla tors, and executors of law, they should be trained in knewledge. North Branch Canal. This State improvement is so far complete that boats pass through to the New York line, and thence to Elmira. This affords water transportation for the anthracite coal of Penn sylvania directly to the interior of New. York, and connects'the canals of the two States. We give the following schedule of distances be tween Philadelphia and Buffalo, by this route. Schuylkill Navigation to Bowling, 64 Union Canal from Beading to Middletown, 77 Susquehanna Canal to Northumberland, 62 North Branch Extension to State Line, 162 Junction Canal to Elmira, 17 Chemung Canal to : Seneca Lake, 23 Seneca Lake to Geneva, 45 From Geneva to Montezuma, 21 Erie Canal to Buffalo, 159 Total, Philadelphia is thus connected, by water cora *set munication, as well as by rails, with the Lakes and Canada. Tyrone and Clearfield Railroad This important feeder to the Pennsylvania Rail road is likely to be speedily built. The grading of twenty miles, extending from Tyrone to Philips burg, was let on the 21st ult. ' Work, it is sup posed, will be commenced immediately. The survey of the Lock Haven and Tyrone road, which is to connect the Sunbury and Erie with the Pennsylvania, has just been completed, and a letting of the work is expected to take place before long. Wicuan.—Some base person has sent letters and dispatches abroad, stating that Jefferson College was burned on the night of the 4th inst. No such calamity occurred. The College yet stands ; and long may it abide. - Nebraska Territory. Hon. Bird:B. Chapman, delegate in Congress from Nebraska, , arrived in this city yesterday,, direct from. Omaha city, which place he left on the 111th ult. He re: , orts eyerything quiet and prosperous throughout the Territory. Emigra tion is pouring in from all quarters, and the coun try settling ,up very fast. The Indians, with whom treaties have been made and reserves as signed, are disposed to reside on their reserva tions, and have this year done considerable in rais ing for themselves cor,ri for the Winter's supply. The Pawnees and Pinions, who inhabit the lands in the Western and North-Western parts of the Territory, never having made treaties with the United States, and consequently are receiving no annuities from the government, are a little dis posed,to make some trouble by.claiming some of the Wide ceded by the Otehha:s to the Malted States. The Sioux on the upper Missouri, since the chastisement given then by General Harney last year, seem very friendly disposed, and no further difficulty is apprehended from them. Nebraska, with her fertile soil, and position as the gateway on the great route to the Pacific, must in a short time become one of the most flourishing Territories, if not States, in the Union. Washington Union. Kansas News. REMOVAL OF TROOPS FROM , .KANSAS.—Official correspondence, published in the Washington Union, conveys the intelligence that the United States regular troops are about to be removed from the Territory of Kansas. The reason given for this is, that peace prevails. A letter from General Persifer F. Smith, dated Fort Leaven worth, November 11th, says that " the laws have again been put in operation, and the administra tion of justice revived." He adds: " Deserted farms are again occupied, fences re 7 built, fields put under cultivation, and the ruins of houses destroyed by fire, replaced by more du rable habitations; the roads are covered with travelers, unarmed and secure;.and the towns thronged with persons,selling their produce, and purchasing from the, stores... All these evidences of restored order have enabled me, with the con currence of the Governor of the Territory, to re call the troops from the active duty on which they have been employed, and to establish them again at their proper posts, where they are to pass the Winter. As.there are no secure prisons yet built for the territorial authorities to use in the administration of justice, at hie request :there will remain, at, the disposition of the Governor, a few men to guard prisoners in the custody of the law, and for other such contingencies." A NEw Manstian.—Wm. Spencer, Esq., of Ohio, has been appointed, by the President, to be United States Marshal for the Territory of Kansas, vice J. B. Doneldson, resigned. Terrible Railroad Accident at Affiance. • We are called upon to record a terribly fatal railroad accident, which marred on Monday evening, the Bth inst., about seven o'clock, at Alliance, Stark County, Ohio, the point where the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and, Chicago Railroad crosses the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad. The passenger train of the former road, which left Allegheny City at three o'clock in the after noon, had stopped as.usual Alliance for sup per, and was just starting Westward when the train on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Road came up and ran directly through the other train, smashing two cars and killing nine persons, sev eral others being seriously injured. The engineer of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad had not been seen since the occurrence of the accident. One of the passenger cars ran through the ro tunda of the station house, and another is now lying in the puhlic reception room. The rotunda is torn to pieces. The accident is the most serious one, so far as the loss of human life is concerned,, which, has ever occurred upon this road.—Diapatch.

Having had occasion to examine the Notes on the Gospels, by the Rev. M. W. Jacobus, D. D., we have no-hesitation iii recommending them, as sound in their doctrine, sudjudi cious in their exposition. As many erroneous books' aru abroad, we particularly desire this valuable Commentary to hare circulation in our churches and schools. • JOHN 111..K.REBS, JAMES W. ALBXANDER, JOHN C. LOW RIE. BALTIMORE, January, 1854. This work is characterized by sound learning, sound doc trine, and lucid statements, a pleasant style, and the most serious spirit of piety. It is much needed. STUART ROBINSON, • JOSEPH T. SSIITEE, • Wlt. S. FLUME& • CHARLESTON, February,lBs4. I. consider that I. would be doing service to the canoe of pure religion, Scriptural theology, and saving piety, could 1 contribute to the introduction of Prof. Jacobus's Nettie into the Bunnies, Sabbath Schools, and Bible Clam!, of our land. TROM.AS SBYTHE. Burrow &loans, London. I am especially delighted to find that you persevere with your Commentary on the New Teetament; and from its ad• mirable execution, I am not surprised, although.very happy to learn. that the former volumes have gone through so many editions. JAMBS HAMILTkoN. ST. 1.01:118. Mo. In my opinion; you are doing for the Church and the cause of truth, a very valuable service, in the preparation and publication of your Commentaries on the New Testa ment. They fill a place which it is most important to have Shed. They are read by the members of Bible Classes, and by teachers. and by pupils in Sabbath. Schools, because in them they find, in a few words, the exposition and informa tion they find a general circulation. N. L. lUCE. are seeking and for the same reason. they Will NOTICES OF THE PRESS. • ' This Commentary is destined, as we believe, to a very wide circulation. It is the fruit of protracted and laborious studies, by one who joins to a thorough Oriental and Bibli cal scholarship, the spirit of a humble mind. It is full of comprehensive, profound, and spiritual views of truth. For purpose') of Sunday School instruction, it combines several advautagee never before offered to the public in a book of this kina, which will give it the pi &eminence in tho eyes of Sabbath School teachers, while its correct exposition, and simple, clear views of thAruth, will endear it to every pious heart:—Genesee Evangelist. To a mind vigorous by original endowment, he adds the varied stores of sacred learning, analytical powers of a high order, a sound judgment, a severe literary taste,e.deeptoned piety, an earnest love'of truth, a familiarity with biblical places, objects, and customs, from personal observation; while the style in which lie clothes his thoughts is clear, strong, compact, and epigrammatio.—Biblietheca Basra- The good .taste, the correct and varied scholarship, the iound judgment, and the attractiveptety exhibited in them, (the series,) make it not only a duty, but a pleasure, to com mend the work to those who desire to study the record et the Saviour's earthly life.—Princeton Review, Oct., 1865. The literature of this Gospol (John) has, of late, become exceedingly rich„and gives to a recent commentator rare advantages. • * * Ile (Dr. Jacobue) gives tho result of critical study, without critical details, thereby rendering his Notes more generally useful. From our examination, we hesitate not to pronounce it in advance of any other Amer icon work on the subject —Southern Methodist Review. This third volume, containing the Gospel of Jobn, has been long looked for with eipectation, by all who have pe rused the two that preceded it. The learned Profeseor has woll maintained his reputation; his elucidations of the moat important portion of revelation being marked by the same extensive research, clear judgment, happy illustration, comprehensiveness, and earnestness, which are so charac teristic of his former efforts.—Tryroate Globe. The large and increasing circulation of these Notes, shows how much such a work was a want in our church, and is, at the same time, a tribute to the value of the Com mentary.—Presbyterian. His proficiency in the science of hermeneutics, his exten sile acquaintance with the labors of others in the same de partment, and his knowledge of history, sacred and profane, furnishing him the materials for illustration very copiously —in connexion with his correct doctrinal views, and earnest devotional spirit, cannot fail to render him afavorite expos. itor with all who desire to learn the way of Ood more per fectly, and to possess the means of defending the Gospel of Christ, against the innumerable assaults of open and covert infidelity.—Onsgregaiirmalixt.

Such as have learned the Catechism are here exercised in in connexion with the Scripture passages which prove and illustrate it; while to those who know nothing of the-Cate chism the questions taken from it are always of the best kind. and can be answered in their own words. " We have adopted the Plates and Questions in our Sab bath School, and are just about finishing the first volume. They have our most unqualified approval. The Catechism is happily introduced, enabling many to learn and become familiar with It, without making it an unpleasant task— which is an important consideration.

The readers of the Banner and Adrccate will recollect I published a notice last Winter, headed "The last Call to Stuttering and Stammering Persons," in which Immure:ad was the only chance they would ever have of getting cured., and all who desired the cure should either send for it by mail or call themselves before the 10th of March, as on that day I had made arrangements to resign my profession, and retire from the practice. Since the 10th, I have personally consulted forty, and sent the cure by mail to sixty hull viduals, In every instance perfect satiefaction has been rendered. In justice to all who are "so'unfortunate as to stutter or stammer yet, I have thought proper to give another opportunity of being cured, and therefore would respectfully request them to send me s2o,' irehich is less than my usual fee,) and I will immediately send them my cure. By so doing they save the expense of traveling. I am a reeponsible man, and if my cure is not effectual I will agree to refund the money. Recollect. this cure never fails. Address Dr. WYCKOFF, Box 740, Pittsburgh Post Mice. There has been a floating population of imposters travel ing the country, profeseing to cure impediments of speech by my system, and many have had the audacity to advertise in my name ' and give the Darner! of men for reference whom they .never knew or 'saw. When persons who stammer called, those Men would represent me, and in several in stances produce a certificate purporting to be mine, vesting in them full power and authority to practice as my Agents. I have frequently warned the Public of these men, as they are not in full possession of my system, and cannot cure. Through 'attiring perseverance, X arrested two of them, and others will sooner or later share the same fate. This cure for Stuttering or Stammering is one of my own discovery, for which I have a copy right, secured by law, and have successfully practised the same for the term of nine years. My references are of the highest order; such as the Medi cal Faculty of New,York, Pluhtdelphia, and the University of Virginia, all the Press of Pittsburgh, Washington, Greensburg. and Uniontown, Pa., besides fifty thousand persons in, different parte of the country. This cure for Stuttering and Stammering is performed in less than one hour. There is no pain or surgical operation attending it. • The beauty , of all this is, it will cure children of five, and adults at the age of one hundred years. A person who is cured by It, can, never again stutter, even if they try. I of fer to forfeit $lO,OOO If any person can ever afterwards Stet• ter, by application of the cure. • It was formerly customary to announce, that no pay would be required unless a perfect cure was performed. That was done to show the people there would be no risk In giving me a trial. But now, inasmuch as the leading citi zens of Pittsburgh, know my cure never fails, it would be superfluous to make another such announcement. __, myBl-tf DR.
