IlitcriiitEN:—As some have ques
tioned the wisdom of the Secretaries in
wr i t i nt a brief letter to the friends and
ni , ents of the Society and the press at the
::uutli, respecting the action at the anniver
sary, it seems due to make a brief explana
tion to our friends and agents at the North.
Soon after the anniversary, we learned
from numerous simultaneous communica
tions and the press at the South, that the
act i on of the Society had produced a deep
sensation in the Southern and South-West
ern States. Many of the long-tried friends
of the Society, who had witnessed with
great satisfaction the blessed influence of its
publications, and its efficient system of Col
portage rapidly spreading over 'those States,
and penetrating the moral desolations, be
came alarmed; believing, as they did, that
the policy of the Society was to be so
changed that publications would be imuled•
iately issued which, in the eye of the law,.
would there be regarded as incendiary, and'
render any one who should attempt to cir
culate them liable to arrest and imprison
ment, and consequently soon close the door
to all the Society's agents and publications.
The general agents and superintendents met
with distrust, and were denied access to the
churches, and the principal branches and
auxiliaries were seriously discussing the
question of entirely withdrawing from the
Society.
No intimation having been given at the
anniversary, that any one expected the
Society to pursue a course which would de
bar it from any of the States; and believing,
as we did, that it was the full intent of the
Society vigorously to prosecute its work over
our whole country, according to the original
design and spirit of the constitution, we
felt bound, in the responsible position in
which the Society had placed us, to do all
in our power to prevent, if possible, such a
misapprehension as might lead to a sudden
dismemberment, and the withdrawal from
its field of usefulness of a portion of,our
country embracing nearly ten millions of
souls. We are aware that the resolutions of
the Special Committee adopted by the Socie-
ty expressed the opinion that certain duties
or evils connected with slavery should be
discussed in a manner adapted to promote
the widest and best interests of the Society
throughout our whole country; but we are
not aware that the Society have intended to
encourage any action which would sunder
from its benevolent regard one-half the
country, and expel three hundred Colpor
teurs from their fields of successful labor.
Confident that it might prevent mistake,
and assist our fellow-laborers and the friends
of the Society generally to understand
more fullyzlhe design of its action, we ad
dressed-to them the following brief letter,
which, if space could be afforded for it in
the journals of the day, we should be pleased
to have read in all parts of the country*

Progress in Canada.
Canada is gradually assimilating her in
stitutions to those of the neighboring States
of our Union, thus showing the influence of
asociation with republicans upon monarchical
colonists. Their public school system espe
cially, is like those prevalent in New Eng
land and the Middle States. And lately a
democratic feature has crept into the English
Church in the colony. A new bishop has
just been chosen for Canada West, and for
the first time ever known in the British
Provinces, the selection has been made by a
regular ballotting of the clergy and lay dep
puties of the Diocesan Convention. There
were two candidates for the see, and the vot
ing stood thus:—
Dr. Oronyn.

)
Laity,
Dr. Cronyn, who is said to be a "Low
Churchman," has, therefore, been ohosen by
both orders to the dignity of bishop of the
diocese, so far as any power resides in the
Colonial Church itself to make such election.
But he has yet to receive the sanction of the
Queen of England before be can be clothed
with the attributes of office. This case will
undoubtedly serve as a precedent in the
English Colonial Church, and, therefore,
some interest is felt to know how the matter
will be treated in the mother country.
Choctaw Progress.
At the late meeting of the General As
sembly, Mr. Kingsbury, of the Choctaw
mission, said "Though we have but fifteen
churches, we have sixty places of preaching,
and the elders hold Divine service in them
every Sabbath day! At our last meeting of
Presbytery, four hundred Choctaws attend
ed, camped out. in the cold, and remained
interested to the close. The collection
made among them for Foreign Missions,
was $125,25; one of the Indians giving
$2O, and two others $lO each. One of
them said, 'I remember when we gave only
$8 at such a collection. Then we were poor
and carried our wood on our backs; now we
are better off and can give more, and we
must increase our gifts -as our means in
crease.) )7
Colored Sabbath Schools.
Every Sunday afternoon, two of our largest
churches are opened expressly for their
benefit. At the Episcopal Church, a Sun
day School is held composed of 70 servants.
The superintendent of this School is one of
the most distinguished of the Professors of
our University, and the teachers are of the
most wealthy and intelligent of our citizens.
At the Baptist church, a large crowd of
servants assemble every Sabbath afternoon,
and are addressed by J. T. Randolph, a
large slaveholder, who for more than a year,
has given much of his time to the religious
wants of , this portion of our popnlatioia.-

Re-Union of Presbyteries.
The Nashville Presbytery, 0. S., and the
New School Presbytery of West Tennessee,
have been united. The basis of re-union
was that of the Synods of New York and
Philadelphia, as found on page 600 of As
sembly's Digest, 1768.
We hope the time may come when all
true Presbyteries will be one in organization.

The convention for the formation of a State
Constitution for Minnesota, met double; the Re
publicans in one Hall, and the Democrats in ano
ther. The former number fifty-nine members,
who organized and proceeded to business. The
latter, somewhat over forty at first, are reported
to be reduced to thirty-two, but determined to
hold on. It is probable that each party will sub
mit a constitution to the people.
Our sister city has been suffering exceedingly
of late, from violence and crime.
A German named Koehler, in a fit of jealousy,
murdered his wife, in his own house, in the night,
and then went to the house of. a Mr. Horton,
where ho and she had formerly lived at service,
and murdered Mr. Horton. He thence escaped,
and endeavored to take his own life by cutting
his throat. In this he failed, but gave himself a
dangerous wound. He is now in prison.
JULY, 23.—Twenty children living on Buckeye
Street, a densely populated German neighbor
hood, were poisoned last evening, by eating loz
enges which had been scattered along the street
by a man and two boys, - whose names are un
known. Two of the children are dead, and many
others are not expected to recover.
The man was seen to offer small packages of
the lozenges to persons in the street, but they
suspected something wrong, and did not take
them. The lozenges have been analyzed, and
found to contain equal parts of arsenic, sugar and
flour.
JULY 24.—Tbe man Who scattered poisoned
lozenges along Bremen Street, turns out to be "a

on the 20th, it wai voted, with one dissenting
voice, to accept the Act of the Legislature auth
orizing the' purchase of the Main Line of the
State improvements. On a vote by Stock there
were 108,597 shares in favor of the, purchase, and
014 against it.. There being not a. majority of
the whole stook in favor, the meeting was ad
journed till the 23d, and polls ordered to'be kept
open.
It is stated on the authority of private advices
from Philadelphia, that the Pennsylvania Central

aid necessary to secure the completion of the
great roiiroa,d bridge across the Ohio at Steuben , .
vile, and of the road thence across the " pan han

nett.
The monthly statement of the road exhibits the

favorable for the future of the Road. There was
a large vote polled-21,883 shares and 891 stock
holders, all of which were voted in favor of ac

The vote of Allegheny County, which was given
in favor of the purchase yesterday morning, de

stock voted in favor of the purchase. The stock
holders received the report of the tellers immedi

PITTSBURGH FORT WAYNE! AND CHIOAGG.—We
cut the following item from the New York Tribune
of Monday morning :
I , Negotiations are pending between the Michi
gan Southern, and Michigan Central Companies,
on the basis of a division of through receipts,
both passengers and freight, with an allowance
of per centage for the road doing the most busi
ness. The new arrangement provides for doing
away withall outside expenditures, a reduction
of speed, and, less free passage. The officers of
the Michigan Southern Company have also con
cluded a harmonious arrangement with the Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, on a
basis which will prevent competition in prices,
and *lll obviate the necessity of building the Fort
Wayne Road beyond its present terminus at
Plymouth. This arrangement, while it sav'es'
useless expenditure of money in construction,
when money is very difficult to be had for such
purposes, will give the Southern Michigan a por
tion of the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh travel to
the West and North-West."

The Prairies of Illinois.
BROTHER MCKINNEY t—Rev. and Dear Sir:
—lt would, perhaps, be of interest to some of
your readers, who contemplate visiting the West,
to hear something with regard to the Prairies of
Illinois, as well as of Kansas.
• These Prairies which the hand of God Reems to
have fitted out for the occupancy of the husband
man, thousands of acres of which, may now be
seen covered with wheat; will yield thirty
bushels to the acre.
Having traveled over a considerable portion of
the Northern part of the State, on both sides of
the Illinois river, I thought I had seen some of
us fine farming country as ever the eye of man
beheld ; but being called, in the discharge of
a Presbyterial duty, to take a trip of a hundred
miles to the South of this, on the East side of the
river, on the way, we passed over a portion of
the Delavan prairie, which, for beauty, fertility,
healthfulness, is nut surpassed by anything I have
seeu anywhere. It is situated in Tazewell Co.
The Medea and Petersburgh Railroad passing
through the centre of it, will, in a short time,
give an easy access to the cities of Chicago and
St. Louis. The town of Delavan, as well as the
prairie, is rapidly settling up with an intelligent
and energetic .elass of people. With sueli'a pop
ulation in a few years it will make One of the
most desireable localities in the State.
There is, perhaps, at this time, no part of the
State where wheat can be cultivated so success
fully.

The most important feature, however, is ite re
ligious aspect. Several prosperous churches have
sprung up in the town of Delavan, within the few
past years. The Presbyterian church, 0. S., (of
which• Rev. 8: M. Templeton has recently - bean
, installed pastor) was organized two years since,
'With twenty-two members;
now they enroll fifty,
and have entered upon the work of erecting a
church edifice. The members seem to be of the
true type, and men who, with the blessing of God,
will make their influence to be felt. That brother
. has much to encourage him, and a prospect of
extensive usefulness: May the Lord abtindantly
bless his labors.
Men who wish to make investments in lands,
with a view of improvement, and permanent
home% would do well to vieit Delavan.
Respectfully . ; Joun MARQIIII3.
Henry, July 21st, 1867.
P. S.—Should the eye of-any one catch this
notice, who would like to procure a well improved
farm, with good buildings, orchard with choice
fruits, good timber, situated convenient to market,
both by river and by railroad, and within a few
rods of 'a Presbyterian church where there is , regii:-
lat. preaching every Sabbath, will please address
MR. ROBERT MOORE, Granville, Putnam County,

It would be a favorable opportunity for some
good presbyterian to settle two or three eons
around him, as there is land sufficient so to do,
and it can be prooured on favorable terms, for
such improvements and other local advantages.

Cure of Severe Asthma—An Interesting
Case,
WAYNESIIIIIta, Pa., April sth
Editor of the ,Christian Advocate:—Dear Sir:—
Those who have ever known the suffering attend
ing severe spasmodic asthma, will I think find the
following facts of mere than ordinary interest :
have been an asthmatic from childhood. When
three years old an attack of whooping couch, fol
lowed by a cold, left me with this relentles disease,
which continued till I was nearly full grown,
when it abated for a time, but soon returned
with redoubled severity. For the last twelve
years my sufferings were, most of the time, in
tense. I frequently suffered so much from want
of breath that it seemed as if I could not possibly
live an hour, and twice I have fallen down as
suddenly as if shot, and become insensible from
sudden congestion of the lungs; my attacks
usually came on in the night. For years they
have been regular once a week or a little oftener.
At some seasons of the year I was hotter than at
others, but still never entirely well. During my
attacks I usually raised some extra vented blood.
The spasms were so severe that I not only could
not lie down, but was compelled to stand in the
cold air with coat and Vest off, and 'while every
one was shivering around the fire I would struggle
for breath till the perspiration would pour down_
my person in streams. I had used• emetics until
I had nearly ruined my stomach, and Brooked
stramonium, salt petm paper, feathers, &q., &e.,
to get even temporary relief. I had not left home
for ten yearswithout an attendant. Afecli" some
unusual labor, as an attempt.to speak in , ,conrt, I
was sure to have an attack and nsually,o, 'severe
ono; my,nervous system was greatly deranged,
and my stomach seriously out of order.„ ) : In this
state aiiplied to Dr. S. S. Fitch , of New York,
who afforded some relief to my nervouliness, but
although I continued his treatment a yetir or up-'
wards he could not and did not atop my asthma ;
my attacks continued , as regularly,as before with
their attendant violence. After this I concluded
to try - Dr. C. M: Frteh's treatment, and'according ,
ly wrote to him at Pittsburgh in May, 1856, where
he then was. Dr. C. M. Fitch gave me but little
encouragement of perthanent cure, as shad been
sick so long, but sai'd'he thOught he could relieve
me. I was pleased with this , honest, guarded
answer, in many respects different from what I
had before heard, and at'once placiid myself under
his oare. In less than three months, I had ex
perienced greater relief than I had ever found
from any, source. The month' of August, ' I
passed with less disease and slept .better than
I had done before in rthe corresponding month,
ten years previous. In November, in consequence
of exposure and over exertion at court, I, had a
slight attack, but it passed off and I have had none
since. I have slept more in bed and with more
Comfort, within six months past,- than in ten years
before. Indeed it Seems strange to me that I can
go to bed and sleep as other men. I am not in,
agony.and oppressed as, formely, but I sleep like
a child, as quietly and sweetly as I could desire. I
am 'satisfied from what I have seen and known of
Dr. C. M. Fitch's system, that his is the true aye
tem of treating all forms of pulmonary 'disease.
He strikes both• at cause and effect, and by his
use of inhalations, reaches the .seat of dise,ase,
while he gives also internal remedies to affect
general system. ,
I wish to draw no invidious comparbion bet Ween
Are. S. S. and C. M. Fitch. r feel grateful to both.
but the treatment of C., M. Fitch was that which
met my case. I should not feel,as if I were doing
justice to the afflicted, as I was, were I not to
make these facts known, and if you think them
of sufficient interest to publish, -their insertion'
will oblige your friend and subscriber: ,

Ma following from the pen 'of ex.-Senator
Hannigan, of Indiana, will be appreciated by all :
"We cannot refrain from. calling the , attention
of our readers to the " Hair Restorative." of
Prof. 0. J. Wood. It will he been that he - has
numerous certificates froMperions of the highest
character, to the nierits of his Restorative.
From positive knowledge we‘ are also enabled to
say that it is in every sense what it professes to
be, and we do not hesitate to pronounce it the
finest preparation for the heed and hair which
has, so far, been devised by, human ingenuity.
We have seen it arrest threatened baldness, and
restore to the head its original profusion. of nat

been prematurely tinged ,with gray, we have
seen it, like magic, restore the colors of youth
and health. The distinguiihing property of this,

ISIICO•
The foreign news of the week, centres in the
attempt to get up a general insurrection in Dab",
which was also to have included France. Accord
ing to the version given in the Russian organ)
published in Brussells, an attempt was to have
been made on the life of Louis Na_pigeen, eitntenf
p' otaneoue with the explosion in' Tali, *and 'both
events were to have preceded the elections in
France, under the influence of which, it was be
lieved, the public mind would have been greatly
excited in favor of democratic changes. The time
was advisedly chosen to give to the revolution
ary movement the greatest possible intensity.
The conspiracy to carry out the scheme appears
to have been first discovered in Paris, in conse
quence.of which several arrests were made, and
the French Government. it is said, informed the
Cabinet of Turin of what was going on, with a
view to precaution and vigilance, but little atten
tion seems to have been paid to the warning; and
hence the outbreak.
TRH FR NCH ELFICTIONB.—The Moniteur pub
lishes an article iu which the triumph of Lonia
Napoleon, on five different occasions when he has
appealed to universal suffrage, is dwelt upon.
The Moniteur gives the number of votes obtain
ed, and says during the course of eight years the
number of dissentionists, instead of increasing, has
diminished.
The clamor which they were allowed the liberty
to make during the recent elections, has neither
:augmented their numbers nor masked their ini
portan6e.
Fiance, which has now judged them five times,
has not changed her opinion. The Ifoniecur, how
eve, does not oonolude without addressing a gen
eral warning to the press.
It says now that the oonteat is over, and that a
majority of over five nailithri vothi haS proved the
opinion of the country, a limit must be put to dis
cussion which can have no other object than the
useless agitation of public feeling.

In Italy there has been a very extended con
spiracy, but mainly unsuccessful, as among a peon
ple so utterly unprepared for self , government,
every such thing must be.
The Movement was chiefly directed against the
King, of Naples and 'the Pope. At Geneoa. the
proceedings werenot so much levelled against the
Piedmontese Government as to get possesifolt ,of
some ships of war in theharhor, to sail with these
vessels to Naples, to fire the shipping there ' at
tacklthe arsenal, burn the palace, and afford to
the numerous 'sympathizers in the Neapolitan
army the opportunity of aiding the conspirators.
The latter ; it is said, had abundance of money
and arms. It is added that Mazzini Was lately in
Paris perfecting these arrangements,' and , still
more recently in Genoa. At the latter place he
found he bad been grossly deceived as to the
amount of support on which he could depend, and
left it abruptly. The whole affair , appears to
have been wildly and recklessly planned, and as
'in, ail' inch cases the result is t. failure, with 'a fur
iherl aggravation of the ills of the people it was
intended to serve.
The French paper Pays says that the move
ment in Italy was the result of a vast conspiracy,
which would have beau felt beyond the bounda
ries of, the Italian PeninsUla. /1. olue to it was
in the hands of the French goverment for the last
'fortnight, and it was at. Paris itself that this vast
conjuration, which has7ramifteations even as far
as Spain, was to have broken out. Several ac-`
complices of Mazzini have been arrested in
France,' and the trials about to take place in
Paris will enlighten public opinion as to the en
ormity of the danger•from which. Europe has just
escaped.

Dan—At his late residence, in 4)ittsburgi,
June 30th, Mr. JAMES A. IRWIN, in . the 55th year
of his age.
In early life, he united with the church of Beth
el. Subsequently, he removed to Pittsburgh, and
connected 'himself with the Fourth 'Presbyterian
church, where he became a Ruling Bider, and
acted as such with great acceptance and efficien-
Cy, until the time of his deceeie.
His life was usefal, his death peaceNl. As a
citizen, he was esteemed and influential ; as a
friend, he was ardent and sincere; as a husband,
he was tender and attentive; as a father, he was
kind, affectionate; and faithful.; as a Christian,
he was! an " Israelite indeed "-"A burning and
shining light "—" A living epistle, known and
read of all" with whdm he had intercourse.. As
an office-bearer in the House of God, he studied,
planned, prayed, and labored to promote the
peace, purity, and prosperity of Zion.
In the death of such a one, well may the com
munity, the Church, and the bereaved family',
mourn the loss they have sustained, and cry,
Help, Lord, for the godly - man oesseth, for the
faithful fail from among the children of men."
But our loss is his gain. To him, "To live was
Christ, and to die was gain," "He rests from
his labors, and his works do follow him." ' 6 Let
me die the death of the righteous, and my last
end be like his"

. It is a work which places ita author at ormolu the high-

From the "Boston Journal 9'
" The style is very felicitous, and the reasoning elear and ,
cogent. The opposing theories are fairly stated and com
bated with remarkable ease and skill. Even when the ar
gument falls. within-the tinge of science, it is so happily
stated that .110 intelligent reader can fall to understand It.
Such a priofound, dispassionate work 1 particularly sailed

From the," Christian Register"

Froin the ''''Philetielphia Presbyterian :" '
yWs bail this production of • master mind as a lucid,
vigorous, discriminating, and satisfactory refutation of the
various Wee picilosophiel , which have appeared in modern

passionately, and exposed,their Welty and emptiness. Hie
refutation is a clear stream of light from beginning to end."
From the . " Universalist Quarterly :"
" We. recommend Modern Atheism' as a book for the
times, and as having special claims on theological students."
