d.ly, as it is viewed in the greater part of
Continental Europe.
Most of the churches have only One Ser.
on the Sabbatli,•fer the present, and
even this service is often thinly attended.
o ne o f the "up-town" churches that has
usually, at other seasons, a congregation of
ene thousand Live hundred, had on Sabbath
week scarcely one hundred in attendance.
Many of the fashionables, merchants, and
others, have one to Europe, or to the great
bathing and watering resorts, or to quiet
and shady nooks in the country. Most of
t h e c ity pastors are now enjoying their sum•
vier vacation in traveling abroad, at the
‘,.prings, or sea shore, or in the country.
This reminds us of the fact that most of
the best, ablest and most devoted cou❑try
pastors rarely enjoy the luxury of moving
beyond their usual fields of labor, of resting
their sorely tasked energies, or of enlarging
their views and cheering their spirits by
visiting new scenes and mingling in new
associations for a time; their people claim all
their time, and even if a respite should be
granted, the requisite funds, in many cases,
are wanting. It is not strange that so many
of these fall in the beginning of the great
conflict, or become discouraged and broken
111
•in spirit. If congregations could under
tend the benefits that would resutt to them
selves as well as their pastors, by occasional
relaxation and a liberal support, a new order
of things would soon be introduced. Bat
whilst so many are absent from the city,
there is no perceptible diminution in the
multitudes that throng the streets. Vast
numbers from the South are continually
arriving, for purposes of sight seeing and
making purchases.
PHILADELPHIA.
Every city has its own fashionable excite
ment for the time being. The rage among
the inhabitants of the pity of Penn, at this
time, is for Sea•Bathiny. Not to go to the
sea shore is to place yourself outside of the
circle of those who control the customs of
the elite. Atlantic city is now the great
point of attraction, on account of the ease
with which it may be reached, and the facil
ities which it affords. Last week two thou
, sand three hundred Philadelphians were at
Atlantic city at one time; this exoeeds the
whole number at Cape May. A number of
Episcopalians, , of Philadelphia, have taken
measures for the erection of a church of
their own order, at this fashionable resort.
Great numbers of Western merchants are
now in the city, testing the market; and
large sales are expected for the coming
season.
Henry Perkins, Esq., for twenty years
treasurer of the American Board of Com
missioners for Foreign Missions, for the
Philadelphia District, has resigned his office
on account of the pressure of business en
gagements. Samuel Woik, Esq., of the
firm of Work, Young & MoCouch, has been
appointed successor. The Philadelphia
District comprises, Pennsylvania, West Jer
sey, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of
Columbia. The Secretary of this District

The Seminary of the North-West.—An
Explanation.
MR. EDITOR :-I am so much gratified by
the stand which yOu have taken in favor r ,of
the Theological Seminary of the North-West,
that I cannot feel very sore under the casti
gation which you have administered to me.
Yet I will be thankful if you will allow me
to disclaim the "unhappy disposition,"
which you attribute to me.
My first paragraph, in your paper of July
18th, seems to have created an impression in
your mind far different from any thing that
was in my intention: I never meant to
charge "Melancthon" with knowing that
the proposed new Seminary is necessary,
and yet opposing it because its establish
ment may leave Allegheny somewhat less
prominent than it would be alone. I did
intend, however, to say that probably his
attachment to Allegheny kept him from
seeing and appreciating our wants. In say
ing this I did not intimate that he is dis-
honest; but that he is a man. Both you
and I, Mr. Editor, know that local interests
Sometimes distort the judgment of good
men. When we see a ease of this kind,
and point it out, it does not follow that we
intend a charge of wilful and dishonest
selfishness. It rather means, that we point
out the action of selfishness that does not
recognise itself. Instead of the "unhappy
disposition" that you attribute to me, then,
I think that I only had a suspicion that M.
bad not yet brought himself to look beyond
his own circle sufficiently. Indeed, I did
not mean to intimate that he felt any thing
that I myself might not have felt at his
stand-point.
You attribute to me sensitiveness, and
ask if I consider our cause so poor that it
cannot bear investigation. I certainly am
sufficiently sensitive to wish to reply to
attacks; and I do not think our cause can
not bear investigation. But it does not
follow that I ought to leave the cause, unde
fended because it is good. The better the
cause, the more sensitive its friends ought
to be,
We are all likely to be misled by the
word "sectional." You seem to think you
have me on the hip, when you find it im
plied in my article that our enterprise is
seotional. I am willing, however, to advo
cate it as sectional. Why should we throw
dust in the eyes of the public by setting up
false pretenoes 7 The proposed Seminary is
needed for the accommodation and building
up of ,our Church in a "section" of our
country. If ye cannot establish this pro
position, we cannot show that it is needed
at all. It is a sectional enterprise, because
it is intended to benefit mainly the section
of our Church lying West of the Sciota and
North of the Ohio. We will not pretend
that churches or students in the Synod of
Pittsburgh have any direct interest in it.
We need it in a sense, in which it would be
folly to contend that all parts of the Church
need it. But it does not follow that it is
sectional in the sense of being opposed to
other enterprises of the same kind, or inim
ical to the interests of other sections of our
Church. Inasmuch as it is necessary to the
growth of this part of our Church, it is
necessary to the growth of the whole Church.
It is important to the whole body that the
two arms should be equally and fully de
veloped, To' cripple or stunt this - North-
West arm of our Church would be •as un
wise as to out off bourishment from one arm
of the human body, if that could be done.
`Our design, then, is as catholic as you can
wish. We desire to strengthen and build
the whole Church ; and we think the way to
do it is for every one to build over against
his own house, and not to pull down the work
of the next section. In things of general
interest—in Foreign Missions, and in ex
tending our borders—let us work by the
same instruments; in sectional matters let us
engage the utmost strength of sections, and
help, rather than hinder, one another.
I will merely add that I did not, as you
have understood me, intimate that "Alle
gheny Seminary herself wishes to keep her
embryo sister from being born;" but merely
showed how desirable it is that such a sus
picion should not be allowed to arise. You
do me a great wrong in so charging me; but
I am willing to attribute it to haste or inad
vertence.
Indulge nie by letting me say so much.
Personal matters are of comparatively little
interest; but no right feeling man is willing
to be misapprehended by God's people.
ONE OUT WEST.
Western Correspondence.
Da. MCKINNEY :—You readers will pro
bably know what has been expressed of late
years by the term " CO-OPERATIVE CHRIS
TIANITY." This expression has been ex
tensively used by our New School and Con
gregational brethren to signify such a co
operation among Christian Churches, which
as others understood the matter, implied an
abandonment of all proper denominational
exertion. They did not mean that there
was common ground on which two or more
Anominations of Christians could meet and
labor in some common enterprise, at the
same time going forward without loss of
vigor in their proper God•assigned work as
a denomination, but that the denominational
work should be given up, and a co•operation
with others formed, for the sake of some
fancied good in the direction of Union and
more enlarged charity among Christians.
Well, the Old School portion of the Pres-
byterian Church tried it, and became con
vinced that the whole thing was fanciful and
mischievous, resulting in the introduction of
unsoundness, into the ,Church, and with a
mighty effort they at once east off the error,t
and, as they think, the cause of it. For this
they did at the time receive, and sincehave
received unmeasured abuse, mostly froth the
New School branch of the Church, who had
resolved to continue the co-operative work
with the Congregational brethren.
Time, however, wcrks changes, and among
these none of late years has been more
signal than that in the sentiment of these
excellent brethren, upon this darling and
most pertinaciously defended dogma. Even
whilst wielding the cudgel in its behalf, and
most vigorously belaboring those who, in all
honesty, were compelled to differ from them,
the change seems to have been going on.
Seemingly the more they have defended one,
set of opinions, the more they have been
convinced of the wisdom of the opposite
sentiments, until whilst still talking as loud
ly as ever in favor of the cherished theory,
they have come to act upon its opposite.
If proof is needed to substantiate the above,
it is at hand in abundance, and is accumu
lating upon us everyday. Your readers will
find evidence by examining the Minutes of
the General Assembly, New School, which
met at St. Louis two years ago. If, however,
this should be thought too antiquated, they
will find testimony to the same point in re
cent events among us here, of which the
following is an epitome :
Ainong the great affairs to'be acconiplish
ed by "co-operation" was the upbuilding of
Schools and Colleges. At first all things
seems to have worked smoothly, but in time
these Colleges became wealthy and influen
tial, and in reference to many of theui the
question has arisen, "under whose control
will fall these potent engines of good in case
this co-operative work should be abandoned?"
In some, struggles for the ascendancy in the
Board of Trustees have %resulted in discs•
trous consequences; and in others no secret
is made of the fact,nhat parties will be
formed, which no doubt will result in a
similar state of things ere long.
Your readers have learned through these
letters, and in other ways, of Knox College,
at Galesburg, Illinois. By a wise invest
ment of funds some few years ago; it has
now become the third College in point of
wealth in the Union. Rev. Dr. Blanchard,
a man somewhat noted as an ardent defen
der of, Congregationalism and "co-opera-
tion," has been for years at the head of the.
Institution. There has been, however, a
division of opinion in the Board of Trus
tees, in regard to him, for Years past; the
Congregational portion defending, and the
New School Presbyterian disposed to effect
his removal. At length the Board requests
the President to resign; he does eo,,and a
large number of the students leave the
Institution; the Seniors, with one exception,
refusing to fulfill their appointments at com
mencement. Without pretending to know
anything of the merit of this, contest, we
think we do know the occasion of it. It
affords another evidence of the wisdom of
our. Church in attempting to carry forward
her own work in her:own way.
Rev. E. Beecher, of "The Conflict of
Ages" notoriety, has promised to publish an
account of the whole matter in the Congre
gational Herald, of Chicago. In the letter
announcing this intention, occurs this,' pas
sage. "They" (the friends of President
Blanchard,) "are convinced that it would be
disastrous to the' cause of religion, and
sound morals, and injurious, in the highest
degree, to the forming characters of the
young, who have been attentive observers
of these transactions, if such a series of
measures, undertaken and pursued as these
have been, should be allowed to succeed, and
.not be rebuked by the providence of God,
and the just indignation of all good men."
It' is the opinion of Mr. B. that it would be
"disastrous" if this be not rebuked by the
"providence of God."
Beloit College is another Institution built
up -under this co-operative system. The
Congregational Herald recently noticing it,
and a contemplated attempt to raise funds
for it, says: "We are compelled to add that
large contributions must not be expected
from Con,gregationalists until a decision is
had as to the future denoininational relations
of the Institution."' "This is another straw,
indicating the setting of the current.
Before turning to other matters, let us
observe that if these brethren, for whom we
believe we have a Christian regard, would but
consent to abandon their chimerical theory,
divide their interest in their Home Mission
Society, and in their Colleges, go foriard
each in their own sphere, laboring without
biekerings for the cause of Christ, much
more good would be done to the world, and
with far greater satisfaction to themselves.
The eyes of the world are upon the Church,
and such contests as that at Galesburg,
cannot take place without producing most
unfavorable impressions. Whatever may be
the facts in the case, the world will say, it is
'a struggle for the ascendency among those
whose world wide boast it has been that they
can . labor, together without' any such results.
But we turn to other matters:
it.was illy pleasure, a few months since to
participateiin the exercises connected with

THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
terian church at Fulton, Illinois. This is
comparatively a new enterprise, and needs
more than a passing notice.
Fulton is a thriving town, of some two
thousand inhabitants, upon the Mississippi
River, about due Wrest from Chicago, and is
the estern terminus of the Chicago and
Fulton Air-line Railroad. A few months
ago, there was scarcely a recognised Presby
terian in the place. Rev. Wm. C. Mason a
sterling man, and a thorough worker in the
cause we love, occasionally visited the place
from Albany, a few miles below, where he
was then hooded, and in a comparatively
short time it became apparent that a church
respectable for numbers and piety, might be
formed. After the usual preliminary steps
hqd been taken, a society was organized,
having between twenty and thirty members,
Brother Mason, their Stated Supply, who
seemed resolved to go forward in the Lord's
work with energy. As a token of this res.,
olution, it was almost immediately resolved
to erect a church edifice, to cost not ,leas
than $lO,OOO, as it was believed that one of
smaller 'dimensions would not long answer
the demands of a growing people. The
cornerstone of this edifice was soon laid,
with appropriate ceremonies, and I now
learn that the enterprising church and
friends hope to be able to occupy the neatly
finished basement on the 16th of next
mouth. In less than a year, if I mistake
not, a church organized, a church edifice
began and enclosed; and quietly worship
ping the God of .their fathers, in the base
ment of their own house, that church may
now be- seen with a cheering prospect be
fore them under the smile and blessing of
an approving God. All this, however, has
not been done without great labor and sac
rifice. None but a Western, pastor may
know what it costs to accomplish such re•.
sults as these. All honor to the men who,
by their self-denying' labors, and :earnest
prayers, bring about such results; and
whilst thus laboring, may I not bespeak for
them the sympathy and prayers of others in
more highly.favored parts of our widely ex.- /
tended field ?
It is, of course, impossible to predict the
future of any of these Western towns; but'
if Fulton grows as it now gives promise of
doing, there will, without doubt, spring up,
on the foundation here laid, a thriving
Presbyterian church, to repay its friends
richly for all the sacrificer they make in its.•
establishment. Good men looking for
places of business in the. West, would do
well to look at Fulton. Mechanics and
manufacturers of all kinds, will here find a,
town of much promise; upon' the Father of
Waters, and at a point •most easy of access
from Chicago. Two high, rocky bluffs,
divided Siamese Twins, stand upon opposite
sides of . the river, rendering it almost cer
tain that a bridge will here be constructed
at no very distant day, to beoome another
link in the chain fast forging, to connect
the East with the mighty West. For ward
ing and commission, and dry goods mer
chants will find in Fulton a field for the dis
play of their energy and enterprise. ,
A PAMPHLET, containing a letter ad"-
dressed to Dr. Van Rensselaer, has recently
appeared, setting forth many things in re
gard to the Theological Seminary for the
North-West, needful to be known.. It con
tains, however, an allegation respecting the
Banner; and Advocate, which is exceeding
ly unjust. Those of us who have been
constant readers of. the Banner, know , that
in its correspondence, frequent reference to;
the-Seminary-has been made, and always in
such a manner as to encourage the enterprise.
Once an article from "Out,West," proposed
certain pointed questions, which were, fully
answered in a very lengthy article by " A.
Director." Will not the matters connected
with this enterprise bear investigation ?
And is there to be censorship upon the press,
that questions pro and con cannot be freely
proposed and answered? Let all parties
speak out through an untrammeled press.
We fear not the result. We believe God
will bless this enterprise, as he has smiled
upon it hitherto. It will go forward. It
will prosper; yet note by applying the gag
to persons, or to the journals of the Church:

the hair and skin is beyond the possibility of a
doubt, and its sale is greater than any other Hair
Restorative that hal ever.been'before the public.
Tens of thousands of persons - who were bald and
gray, and others whose faces were covered with
unsightly blotches. and pimples, are now, with
,their own glossy.hair, and with faces comely and
fair to look upon, seen daily promenading the
streets of all the principal cities of the Unimi,.and
by their influence spreading the fame- , of Wood's
Butßestorative throughout the - civilized world.
But the trial of one Bottle is more convincing
than all we could say in a whole. newspaper
column.
M.,. It does not dye; but gives life, health,
'and beauty to the decaying, falling, and dead,
restoring as if by magic,-that which was supposed
to be irrecoverably lost.. Heads nearly bald and
others nearly white, are daily being • changed to
theirpristine beauty, 'and faces covered erith phn
pies are rendered: as smooth as an infant's and
bltishinff as a rose, all' by the ase'of Prof. Wood's

Tun Penn Waa.—ln the house of Commons
Mr. Roebuck moved resolutions condemning the.
Persian war, and supported his motion . in a
speech of much bitterness, accusing. Lord Pal
merston of having, by denuding India of troops
for the Persian war brought about the present
state of affairs in India. The debate was very
warm, gild Mr Roebuck had Meal supporters.- •
A. spirited debate has been excited: in Parlia
ment on the Persian war. ,A prorogation was•
.expected in about a fortnight..
Lord Pahnerston censured Mr Roebuck's tuo
tives, `and the course of the negotiations;
with Persia, claiming credit rather •than censure
for this concessions r.the governmentmade to full-.
itate a restoration of peace. Rle4eniednuo tbere
was any connexion between the Persian war and
the Indian mutiny.
The resolution waslost by a vote of thirty-eight
yeas against three hundred and fifty-two nays.
The House of Commons voted half a million on
account of tho Persian war, after a spicy debate.
The news from. India was still unsatisfactory
and alarming, although the crisis was supposed
to be past. Great activity was being displayed,
both in India and England.
The government Intends sending to India a
steam squadron of considerable force of artiileryi
by the most rapid conveyance at hand; and, in
addition to the troops already mentioned, the
force appropriated for Chinese operations are all
intercepted and ordered to serviie in India.
General Anson, the Commander-ire Chief in 6'4
East Indies, died of cholera at Aurnand on the
27th of May. Sir Patrick Grant' had been ap
pointed to succeed him temporarily.
Immediately on receipt, of the news in London;
a Cabinet Council was held. Sir Colin Campbell,
with the true spirit 'of a gallant soldier; at once
consented to'go out to lake , the vacant command,
and left London within twenty-four hours' notice,
en route to Marseilles, where he embarked for
India. The 14,000 troops under orders for India
were to be sent immediately, and 'to be followed
by other reinforcements of European 'troops as'
soon as ships and stores tan' be got ready.
The English motley market was. not much :
affected. by the news frem Jodie, as. the,supply
was plentiful. Consols were 9lf to 92 for money."
The report that the East India Coinpany 'Were
in want of means to carry on thewar 'was g'erter
ally believed improbable', as they have £2,000,000
of Exchequer Bills in London, a sum amply suffi
, clout for immediate use, and for their financial
requirement's to be met in India.

Mr. McCullough was, at the time of his death,
a member of the church of Crab Apple. He has
been in the communion of the Presbyterian
Church for near fifty years, and evinced in hie
life and actions, a disposition to lire and act out
his profession. His last sickness was lingering
and very severe but was borne with Christian
fortitude. He was often subject, while on his
death-bed to seasons of mental derangement but
when the name of Christ was mentioned or some
promise repeated, he seemed to be calmed there
by and, to rejoice. Being much afflicted 'with
'doubts, be fully and entirely cast himself upon
the grace of God in Christ Jesus.
He has left a widow and a large family to
mourn for him; but they mourn not as those that
have no h'o'pe.: (•Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord .for they rest from their labors,':and
their works do fallow them."

"The wcrrk,before -no is one s otat once the moat readable
and solid which we have ever perused."
From the "News Of the 'Churches :"
"It is a work of which nothing,less can be wad, than
that, b'th in spirit and . substance, style and argument, it
fixes irtuversibly the name of the author as a leading clak
ale in the Christian literature Of Britain:" ' •

"No work has come into my hands for a long time, so
helpful to me as a teacher of metaphysice and morals. I
know of nothing which will answer for a substitute. The
public specially needs anch a book at this thne,, when the
covert atheism of Fichte; Wolfe, • Hegel. Sant,
Comte, Crouse, ..dtkingna; Martineau, Leroux,
Mackay,'Holyoake, and others, is being
. spread abroad with
all earnestness, supported, at least in some places, both by
Chtnich intloence and .university. honors.. I cannot but
hope that a Work so timely, scholarly, and 'complete, will do
inneh.good. • •
From the "Christian Secretary:'
Dr. Buchanan has earned a high and welkieserved repu
tation as a classical writer 'and close logical reasoner. Re
deals heMiy,, deadly blows on atheism in all its various

•
From the ",Boston Portfolio
"It is a work which places its author at once in the high.
oat rank of modern religious authors. lila analysis of the
doctrines' held by the various schools of modern atheism,
are admirable; and his criticism original and profound;
while hie arguments in defence of the Christian faith are
poweribl , and 'convincing. It is an attractive as well as a
solid book; and he , who peruses a few. of its pages is, as It
were: irresistably drawn on to a thorough reading of the
book "
From the " Boston Journal:"
auS
4 - The.ptyl t is very felicitous, and the reasoning clear and
cogent: The oppneing theories are fairly stated and corn
bated - with remarkable easel and • skill: 'Even when the ar
gument falls within the, range. of. science, it is so happily
stated that n 9 intelligent reader can fail tounderatand

"It is justly described as ' a great argument,' 'magnifi
cent in, its strength, order, and beauty,' in defence of truth,
'and . against the variatit-theories of atheism. It review!
.the doctrines of the different schools of modern Atheism,
gives' a fair statement et. their theories, answers and re
fates., them; never evading, but meeting and crushing thetr
arguments"
; Irriitit - the 4 "Chrisilan Register :"
" Dr. Buohnnan is candid and impartial, too, as 90 strong
a man can afford to be, evades no argument,. undertakes no
opposing view, but meets big antagonists With , the qulet
and unswerving confidence of , a locomotive on iron tracks,
pretty to crash them." -
Froni•the " Philadelphia' Presbyterian • '
"Weball this production of agnaeter. mind as a Weld,
vigerchis, dieerlinlnating; and malefic-tory
refutation of the
Various Wee philosophies which have
nppeared in modern
times to allure ingenioue youth to their. destruction. Dr.
Buchanan has studieiftbern'theroughly, weighed them dis
passionately, and, exposed their falsity and emptiness. Die
refutation is 'a clear stream of light from beginning to end."
From the Unieerealist'Quarterly:"
"lYe recommend ',Modern Atheism' as a book for the
times, and ashaving special Claims on theological students."
Fronl•the "Cgingregatiohallst:"
" it is remarkable for the clearness with which it appre
hends and the fairness with which It states. not less than
for the ability with which it replies, to the schemes of un
belief in its various modern forms. it will be found easy to
read-rthough net_ light reading-and very quickening to
;thought, while it clears away, one by one, the mists which
the Devil has' imejured around the great dociainee of our
Faith, by the help of some of his ingenious modern coadju
tors, and leaves the truth of God standing in its serene
and pristine majesty, as it the breath of hatred never had
been breathed forth against it."
From the Now York "Christian Chronicle:"
' Buchanan hag here. gone Into the enemy's camp,
and defeated him ork,hia own, ground. The work is a mas
terly defence of faith against dcigivatic unbelief on the one
head, and that universal skepticism on the other, whirl
neither affirms nor denies, on the ground of an seen med
deficiency of evidence as to the reality of God and religion."
Prom the " Christian Herald:"
"It is a clearly and vigorously written book. It is par
ticularly valuable for its clear statement and masterly
refutation of the Pantheism 'of Spinosa and hie School." '
