We trust the readers of the Banner arid Advocate will not think this notice too long. We feel indeed that it is all too short to t . itrilt the worth of him to whom it refers. It is well to knew what God has done for his servants, and by them, that the Church may give him the praise. What we have written has been with this object in view. Let us bless God for the fathers, and pray him to raise up those who may as worthily fill their pl ices, when these are called hence. There is at present something of a dearth of relieious news relating to our own Church. Dr. Rice has announced, in the St. Louis Prtskyreria.7l, of which he is the editor, his neceptauce of the call to the North 'church, Chicago. The paper is, as I before conjec tured. to remain at St. Louis, to be placed probably under charge of another editor. Dr. Blanchard acts as President of Knox College, by request of a committee of the Board of Trustees, whose duty it is by the charter, to fill vatanoies in the Faculty. They can only appoint for one year. If the 13eard remains of the same complexion next year that it now is, Mr. B. will again he thrown out. We may not again have occa sion to refer to the difficulty. The time for meetings of Presbyteries and Synods is again drawing near, when we will expect to hear of what the Lord has been doing for us in the last six months. Would it not be well for all our people to offer special petitions for the blessing of God in the enlightening influences of the Spirit to rest down upon the Judicatories of the Church wherever they will meet? We have not, like our Episcopalian brethren, set forms of printed prayer for these particular occasions, but may we not, as a Church, unite with one heart and voice for wisdom for Zion in her Couits ? If the fervent, effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much, what might nut be done by the hundreds of thousands in our Church uni ting in prayer with.' one great, blessed ob ject in view? Yours, truly, ' NORTH -WEST. ray the Presbyterian BiILILIFr and Advocate Church at Libertyville, lowa, Mn. EI.ITOR.:—Y,m may find room in your columns, for a brief notice of the dedication of another house to the worship of toe true God. This service took pleat! on Saturday, the 29th of August, in connexion with the administration of the Lord's Supper, on the Sabbath. The Rev. S. C. McCune, Rev, D. V. Smock, and Rev. G. M. Swan, in connexion with the pastor, took part iu these services. The building is a plain, substantial brick, thir ty five feet by fifty-five, with capacities for seat ing about four hundred persons. With the kind asvistance of some friends in the East, and vain able'. aid from the Church Extension Committee, r - with the Divine blessing we have been able to complete this work, at a cost of about three thou sand dollari. The membership of this church numbers about forty, the most of whom are females. Consider ing the fewness of the number of our male mem bers, they have " devised liberal things" in the erectiou of this house of worship. What we need most of all is, that the glory of the hold may fill this house, as it did the ancient tabernacle of Israel. Yuur Brother in the Gospel, J. C. For the Presbyterian Hanner and'ildvocate.

Stearns, the pastor, madethe dedica tory prayer. This is a neat, substantial brick Lou-e, eighty feet by forty-seven feet, with a basement erected at a cost of over $12,000, by a small, wesk congregation. But it is free f-om debt. It is already welt filled ; and were it not for the feeble health of the pastor iu consequence of over exertion in securing the completion of the house, the prospects of the congregation would be very encouraging. getts :,11 ep:arimpit. Viaduct at Pittsburgh. This important work, connecting the Pitts burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, with the Pennsylvania, is so far advanced that the cars are now crossing the Allegheny river. The first locomotive passed over from the Allegheny Depot to and from the Pittsburgh Depot on the 21st inst. All was found safe and sure.

B.—The Constitutional Con vention permanently organized. Surveyor General Calhonn is elected President. Ilis speech indicates that he is in favor of submitting the Constitution to the people. SEPT. 15,—The Constitutional Convention has adjourned to meet on the aa Monday in October. Two delegates from Franklin County (Free State) and two from Anderson were exoluded, on the ground that they were not regularly elected. Both parties are now earnestly preparing for the election. Washington. I.B.—The administration is determined to enforce the neutrality laws, and to-day took the initiatory steps for that purpose. In addition to information having been received of the fitting out of three several expeditions, viz., at New York, N,-csi Orleans, and Mobile, for the re-in vasion of Nicaragua, under the leadership of Gei'oral Walker, intelligence from an official quarter line come to hand of another expedition, having its center in, if not nearly altogether con fined to Texts, for the invasion of Mexico, and it is stippo , ed being designed for the seizure of the State of Tainanlipos. Oen. Sam Houston, is by the reports received, implicated as the leader of this expedition. To.day the form of instructions was prepared by Exeoutive authority, and copies will be die. p.irened to-morrow to the various United States Manhole and District Attorneys on the seaboard as well as to the officers of the Army and Navy, to use all lawful means at their command, ttipre .vent such expeditions leaving the United States fur th e h os til e invasion of any country with which tie are at peace.

Minnesota Contrary to appearances for some time, the two branches of the Minnesota delegates agreed upon a Constitution through their Joint Commit tee, to be submitted to the people. This se• cures its adoption, and prepares the way for a speedy admission of the State into the Confeder acy. The National Intelligeneer gives the following, as a synopsis of the instrument "The new constitution prohibits slavery and guarantees liberty of the press, trial by jury, &c. The first Legislature is to consist of thirty seven Senators and eighty Representatives; pay, $3 per day.

St. Paul to be the seat of Government until located elsewhere by the Legislature." Calamities at Sea. The late storm on our South Eastern coast has been exceedingly distruotive to sea-going vessels. Several steamers have been seriously damaged. But the greatest calamity is in the loss cf the Central America, late the George Law. She sunk on the 12th, about two miles off Cape . Hatteras. She had on board five hundred and twenty five passengers, and one hundred and one officers and orew. Of all these, only a few over a 100 persons were saved. Near $2,500,000 in treasure was lost, as also the San Francisco and Havana mails. ACCOUNT OF THE WRECK BY A SURVIVOR.—STATE KENT OP HENRY H. CHILDS. SAVANNAH, Sept. IS.—Henry H. Childs, one of the rescued passengers, states that the Central America left Havana on the Bth inst., having had delightful weather and a calm sea f.-om Aspin wall to that port. On the afternoon of the day of sailing from Havana we had a fresh breeze, and on Wednesday it blew very strong. At , night it' increased and rained in torrents. On Thursday the wind blew a hurricane, and the sea ran very high. On Friday the storm raged with unabated fury, and at 11 o'clock A. Pd., it was first known among the passengers that the steamer had sprung a leak, and was making water fast. A line of men was formed, who went *to work in bailing the water from her engine room, the fires having been already extinguished by the furnaces being overflowed. We gained upon it eo much that the firemen were enabled to get up steam again. but this continued only for a few minutes, when the fires were again extinguished and the engines were abandoned. The bailing, however was continued in all parts of the vessel, and kept up until she finally went down. During Friday night the water gained gradually, but all being in good spirits, we worked to the best of our ability, feeling that when morning came we might possibly speak some vessel and be saved. The fatal Saturday came at last, but brought nothing but an increased fury of the storm. Still we worked on. About two o'clock P. K., the storm lulled a little and the clouds broke away, so that our hopes were renewed and we all worked like giants. At 4 o'clock P. M., we spied a sail and fired gnus. 0 T flag being at half mast it was seen, and the brig Marine, of Boston, bore down upon na. We then considered oar safety certain. She came near and we spoke to her and explained our condition. She laid too about a mile distant, and we in only three of the boats, saved, placed all the women and children, and they were safely put on board the brig. As evening was fast approaching, we discovered. another sail, which responded to our call and came near us. Capt. Herndon told our crippled condition, and asked them to lay by and send a boat, as we had none left. She promised to do so, but this was the last we saw of her, except at a distance which grew greater at every moment. At seven o'clock we saw no possibility of keep- ing afloat much longer, altbangh if we could do 'so until morning all would be saved in a short time. A heavy sea for the het time broke over her upper, deck,, and our hopes faded away. Life preservers were then furnished to the passengers and we sent up two rockets. A tremendous sea I then swept over us, and the steamer in .a. moment went down. I think that some four hundred or four hundred and fifty souls were launched upon the ocean, at the mercy of the waves. The storm at this time had entirely subsided. We all kept near together, and went as the waves took us. There was no thing, or very little said, except each one cheered, and courage was kept up for two or three hours ; and I think, for that space of time, none had drowned. But those who could not swim became eshaneted, and QM by- one gradually passed to eternity. Thohnpe that boats would be sent to us from the two vessels spoken to, eoon fled from us, and our trust was alone in Providence ; and what bet ter trust could you or I ask for? I saw'rny com rades fast sinking, and at one o'clock that night I was nearly alone, upon the ocean, some two hundred miles from bind. I, however, heard shouts from all that could do so. that they were not far from me; but I could not see them. Within an hour from this time, I saw a ieseel, which I judged was about one mile from me. Taking fresh courage, I struck out for the vessel, and reached it when nearly exhausted, but was drawn on board by ropes. It proved to be a Nor wegian barque, from Belize, Honduras, bound for Falmouth, England. I found on board of her some three of Toy comrades, and at nine o'clock the next morning we had forty-nine noble fellows on board. And these are all I know of having been saved. We cruised about the scene of the disaster until we thought that all alive had. been rescued and then set sail. We found the barque short of provisions, and the crew living on gruel. We had some tea and coffee to refresh ourselves, and at noon on Sunday, spoke this American barque (the Saxony) bound for Savannah, who supplied us with provi sions and took five of us on bosrd. [avassansmiurr.] Iron City College, Pittsburgh, Pa. This institution already, we believe, the largest and most popular one in the United States, is hereafter to have at the head of its Board of in struction, John C. Smith, A. M., the late popu lar and efficient professor of Mathematics and Accountant, in Fairfield Seminary, Herkimer Colinty, N. Y. From the known ability and success of Prof. Smith, as a teacher of long experience, with a determination to accomplish what he undertakes, we bespeak for the Iron City College, a still high er degree of success than it has hitherto enjoyed. And while we regret the lose of Mr. S. as a teacher among us, we cannot but commend the wisdom and discretion of the proprietors ,of the Iron City College in securing the best talent and most competent instructor the country affords.

QUEBEC, - dept.—The,steamer indian from Liv erpool on the 9th and the Antelope on the Bth, have arrived with three days later intelligence. There is nothing later from India. The Spanish Government has ordered the BUS pension of operations for invasion into Mexico. The question will be settled through the arbitra tion of England and France. The most perfect understanding exists between England and France on the Cluna question. It is rumored that Mazzini is organizing anoth er Italian`revolution. The dismissal of Reschid Pacha. is confirmed. The English underwriters bad settled for the losses occasioned by the breaking of the Atlantic cable. A slight difficulty had occurred, between France and Denmark. as to where the Sound Dues redemption should be paid. The Pope had re turned to Rome, from his Italian tour, and was cordially welcomed.. Preparations were making at Stuttgardt, for a meeting between Napoleon and Alexander of Russia,. .The reinforoements from Great Britain to India amounted to 40,00 men. SEBASTOPOL.—CoI. Gowen, director of the Philad• Iphia expedition to Sebastopol, having the sole contract to raise the sunken vessels or war, has taken pity on the Boston volunteers, who fit ted out an expedition on their own hook, and has given them employment at the work as sub-eon tractors. Each party uses a different process of operations Terme with Chium A letter writer, in China, states that the English Plenipotentiary will insist on the opening of nine ports, with the privilege of having a Consulate and a guard of anldiers at five of these ports, and a Consulate at the remaining four; he Will ktlBo de mand a grant of land at each' for the erection of forts. This is a pretty strong indication that England intends to have some solid security for the faithful observance of the treaty She is about to dictate. We have no doubt of her ultimate success in this matter. By latest accounts, Lord Elgia was about to proceed with a fleet of gun boats to tbe mouth of the Pei-ho, on which river Pekin stands, and having arrived at the nearest point to the capital, he would then give his Celes tial Majesty an oppertnnity to recognize or repu diate the acts of his officers at Canton. Our cor respondent, writing from Shanghae, states that the people at the North exhibit the utmost indif ference about the war. This is important inform ation, for it proves that the fight is a local one, and is confined very much, on the Chinese side, to Yeh and his Cantonese. that case the Empe ror may be expected to yield, without any great display of force, to the demands of the British Representative, backed as they will be by the French and American* Ministers, and the war, will ' be brought to a speedy and successful close. Indta Waved by the Telegraph. The news burst on India like a thunderclap, that the native regiments at Meerut and Delhi bad mutinied. murdered their officers, massacred all the English inhabitants of Delhi, placed the King of Delhi on the throne, and threatened the empire. All this happened on the llth of May. On the lath it was known by telegraph to Euro peans only, throughout India—l say to Europeans only, for immediately the post was stopped, and an embargo placed on all native correspondence. It is not too much to say, that the telegraph saved India. Whether or not the report is true that the 15th of May was the day fixed for. a general rising of the Sepoy regiments and mas sacre of all Europeans in the Bengal Presidency, cannot be known yet—perhaps never will be known. If true, and certainly the rumor ap peared with strange coincidence at places far apart, the Third Cavalry spoilt all by beginning on the 11th at Delhi. In a moment the news was fl tsbed to Lahore and Peshawar ' to Al lahabad and Calcutta, to Bombay and Madras; and all. British India was on the alert.—London nmea. Idolatry lat France. The Archbishop of Bruges, in his late work on the Immaculate Conception, addresses to the Vir gin a prayer in which these words occur "It is from you and your Divine Son, 0 incomparable mother, that I expect the fruits of my labors, and to you alone it is that I will ascribe it;!" The Obeervateur. Caiholique makes this observation to the bishop; " You associate the action of the blessed Virgin with that, of the God-Man; you even give but the second rank to Jesus Christ as source of the graces of whichlour book hartY be ii the means;,.then you exclude him formally from the motive which led you in your works. The Holy Virgin is your sole end; it is to her alone that you ascribe it. The necessary conse quence of such a doctrine is that the Holy Virgin is your God. Do' you think, Monseigneur, that such exaggerations, which might be so energeti cally characterized, honor the humble Virgin who rejoiced in God her Saviour?" goticts. Presbyterial.

DIED—At his residence, in St. •Olairsville. on the ad inst., Hon. BENJAMIN RUGGL&S, in the Toth year of his age. The deceased was born in Abington, in the State of Connecticut, on the 21st of Febrnary, 1788. His father died wheo he 'Vitas young, and leaving his family poor, Benjamin had to support and educate himself. :The , family, soon after, his father's death, Moved - to Bolton, where he went to the Brooklyn, Academy,' and' received a good Academical education ; a knowledge of Latin and Greek, and the various branches of English lit erature. Hetaight . school in 'the Winter, and • went to the Aoademy in the Slimmer. He read law with Judge Peters, in Hebron, was. admitted to the Bar by the Court in the County of Holland, and soon after came to the West and located at Marietia, where he was succesefulin the, practice of his profession. He was appointed President Judge by the legislature in 1810, his circuit ex tending.from Marietta to Cleveland. He held the first Court that was ever held in Cleveland, when there were only a few houses; along, the lake shore.' In some of the counties of his district, before there were any public buildings, he 'some times. held Court among the trees, of this great country, which was then an altilost unbroken forest. He traveled on horseback, and lodged many times in the little log cabins of that simple and patriarchal age. , He was next elected to the United States Senate, for the term of six years. He wae,triiee re-elected. - He was associated with. Webster, Clay; Calhoun,'--Cass, -and 'Randolph. Our departed frieriff'hail the confidence and love of all parties w hil e , he was .there; and did most faithfully and conscientiously perform his duty to his country. In the circles Of Iprivate life he was greatly beloved. Seldom, 'Weyer, have we seen such a rich cluster of noble ivirtues adorn ing the character of any man. He was remark able for humility—yea, he seemed to be clothed with it. His benevolence was a Constant stream, at which many drank. and were iefreshed. He gave liberally to the institutions of learning and religion. A. firm believer in the great doctrines of Christianity, he after quoted with a good rel ish the words of Webster: " That infidels just rung monotonous changes on the often refuted arguments. But every lover of his country and of his race, could not but wish and pray that the benign influences of Christianity Vrere spread all over the world." He was a man of prayer, and• ,very punctual in his attendance on the preaching of the Gospel, and often "would `the tears roll down his furrowed cheeks, when the minister was expatiating on the "glorious Gospel of the blessed. God." He was not one of the fashionable hear ers of the present age; he was always present in the afternoon, and at night too. He could say truly, " I have loved the habitation of thy house. and the place where thine honor dwelleth." " was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord." He died suddenly, and unexpectedly to all his friends. Sweetly, gently, and peacefully he took his departure, with very little suffering to him self, and very little trouble to, his friends. His family have sustained a very great loss, and so has the Church, and the whole community. His 'remains were followed to their long, home by a very large multitude of People; ,and, his funeral sermon was preached in the Presbyterian„oliurch, 'by Rear; John Moffat, to a great and Lsorroarfal congregation, from Gen. xxv : 8; " Then Abra ham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people." J. M. DIED—At her residence, near Altoona, Pa.. Septemberl2th, Mrs. NANCY HAMILTON, aged 76 years. The maiden name of the deceased was Smith. She was the last of a large family, who, one after another, have been gathered from among the Church below, to the Church above. She lived to a good pill age, and was blessed in being permit ted to see all her own children hopefully pious. Some of them are officers in the church of which she was a member. Two of her nephews, Rev. Joseph T. Smith, D. D., of Baltimore, and Rev. James Smith, of Mount Joy, Pa., are in the min istry. Almost the entire connexion are con sistent Christians, and some of them were re markable for their humble and unobtrusive, but devoted piety, of which she was herself a bright example. She lived a consistent life, and died a hopeful death. Her loss is deeply mourned by her friends and the church. Bat our loss is her unspeakable gain. " Precious inihe sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." DTED—Of cancer, August 25th, at Woodville, Allegheny County, Pa ,• Mrs. ELLEN SPAHR ' , wife of Jesse Spahr, M. D., and daughter of the late Chad Green, of Brook County, Virginia, in the 43d year of her age. Mrs. , Spahr was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, whence her parents removed, when= shewas piling, to Broni Conntyja. She was,, for a number of years, ; ,a ,meinber of the, Metho didt Church, and" her life was. in secordance , ,with her Christian' unfasten. She 'was 'a lady of iu telligence. of amiable ' nnd agreeable' manners, and kind and.affeetionate, as 'a wife, Mother, and friend. She tenderly loved her .children, ,and felt an ardent desire for their spiritual,welfare— said she only desired to live that she might . help to train them up for God. She exhibited a meek, calm, and unmurmuring submission, under her long continued affliction ; and, in the full posses sion and clear exercise of her reason, she calmly, and without a struggle, closed,her eyes in death. She is gone. Her death 'has cast'a cloud of sor.L row over the hearts of a numerous circle of friends, by whom she Was tenderly beloved ; but to her bereaved husband and three children, the eldest her step-son, her loss isirreparable. The light of their dwelling is' taken away, and their hearts are bowed down with sorrow but, cheered in this hour of darkness with the belief that their loss is her unspeakable. - gain, they «sorrow not as those without hope." W. 3. [Pittsburgh Christian Adiocate please copy.] • DIED-At the residence of his mother in Dan lap's Creek, Fayette County, Pa., May 25th, in the 20th year of his age,,Mr. Jous BLYrEE Joux- STON, youngest .son of the 'late Rev. William Johnston. • • Thisinteresting and promising young man had never formally united with the Churohi , but ,in formed his mother and his pastor that'ha had been deeply impressed with a sense of Divine things, during the refreshing season, enjoyed by the church of Dunlap's Creek, in the Winter and Spring of 1856, and that he had obtained peace in Christ He expressed a strong desire to unite with the church, and live for the glory of God, should his life be spared. But the Lord had oth er service for him than in the Church below. A voice from his early grave says impressively to the young, "Be ye also ready." S. W. DIED-Of the effects of cholera morbus, on the 21st of Anzust, and in the 64th year of his age, Mr. SAMUEL Ursa, a Ruling Elder in the Pres byterian church of Dunlap's Creek. Mr. L. was descended of godly parents, a child of the covenant, and ,adorned his profession in all the relations of life, and thus greatly Magni fied the rich _grace, of. God, and his covenant faithfulness. He, was, eminently characterized by humility, modesty, meekness, and benevolence; diligence in the business of life ; punctuality in attending on all the means of grace ; liberality in the support of the Gospel at home and abroad ; a-cordial friend oUthe Church and her Boards; his intelligence in the ScriptUres, and attachment to the doctrines of grace ; ,hig peaoeable temper ; his candor and honesty; his tenderness of heart and tearful sympathy with all, in their Christian exercises, and especially with young converts. His, pastor and brethren in the Session well know how his tears of sympathy would, flow when young Christiana were under examination for ad miesion to the Church. Our Church has lost one of, her men or effectual, fervent. prayer ;" but the Church above has, we trust, gained a member to her celestial choir of praise. He has left an interesting family, consisting of a widow and seven children to have their full shire, with a large circle of friends and acquaintances, in cher jibing the memory of one who lived beloved, and died lamented, by all who , knew him. I heard a voice from heaven, saying write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord," &c. ADvERTISEMENTS. O A.ELAND FEE AL UE INSTITT.— NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
