The c of the Treasury of the

::pr its Uol? , rtiigr Fund.
N, ITT - has the e ntire land been more
epee to the Col T ortours of the Board; and
vrr have iinic imit.erous appeals for col
,r!tuer :ereicrc ic,2cii made than during the
last pit inciAlis. Divine Providence has

, en for very limited pecuniary
Ompt nsation and from love for souls and
.he fiedeemer's cause, to do this work.
he riumber of Oolporteurs in commission
i,as in consequence been greater during the
six months by nearly forty than during
he corresponding, six months of the last
ear.
This year has also been one of almost tin
:sampled fruitfulness, abundance, and gen
'mai prosperity throughout the length and
'sreadth of the land, thus leading to the
lope that there would be a corresponding
sffering from the Lord's people to his trea
:ury.
This hope has not as yet, on the part of
his Board been fulfilled. On the con
rary, the contributions from the churches
o the Colportago Fund have been smaller,
:ince the first of March last, by fully two
housand dollars, than they were during the
corresponding portion of the year 1856.
Swing to this, and to the other fact above
entioned, of the increase in the number of
aborers,the Co'portage Fund of the Board
'a at this lime overdrawn by about six
thousand dollars, and unless contributions
ome in from the churches soon and liber-
Ily, this deficiency will ere long be largely
'nereased.
As the Board has no collecting agents in
he field, in accordance with what it under
.tands to be the general judgment and de
.ire of the pastors and churches, but relies
in the spontaneous zeal and fidelity of the
;miters and churches themselves; and as the
resbyteries and Synods, are most of them
,:oon to meet, it is deemed important that
he above facts should at once be known.
And it is earnestly hoped that pastors and
, :essions, as well as Presbyteries and Synods,
will deliberate and act, remembering that
he Board of Publication now has only this
qlteruative immediately before it—either to
receive within the next few months greatly
•nlarged contributions from the churches,
or to decline to commission new oolporteurs
when they offer themselves for the work,
and perhaps even to reduce the number al
. eady actually in its servioe.
Hoping that the Lord will bestow upon
all his ministers and people throughout the
sounds of our Zion that wisdom which is
i.rofitable to direct, the above facts are
:übmitted for their prayerful consideration.
By order of the Executive Committee,
WILLIAM E. SCHENCK, Car. Sec.
Western Correspondence.
Da 31oKimtv.v :—Since my last, I have
received the following notice of some of the
traits of character prominent in Rev. A. B.
Church. It is from the pen of Rev. I. Pills
,ury, who knew and loved him well. Bro
,er P. says :
" Such was his meekness, that he seemed
not to know the emotions of resentment.
Though often in trying circumstances, he
preferred to suffer evil rather than to do evil;
not only to forgive his enemies, but to for
get
he bad any. So destitute of guile, so
confiding, open, and frank was he, as some
times to give an opponent an unnecessary
advantage. Yet he ' earnestly contended
for the faith once delivered to the saints,'
and would never sacrifice the truth for gain
or friendship.
"He was ardent, naturally; to whatever
subject his attention was directed, it became
altabsorbing, and, for the time, seemed in
different to every other consideration. To
this state of mind may be attributed his
faults, so far as he had any,
"It was usual for him to dwell on the
bright side of his prospects and hopes; so
much so, that during his last sickness, he
would fancy himself better, and lay plans for
future labors, while his friends had no hopes
of his recovery. He evidently considered
his recovery doubtful, for he told me, a few
weeks before his death, that 'he was set
tling up all his affairs as fast as he could, as
there were many things which a man could
better do for himself, than any body else
could do for him.'
" Re did not seem to entertain a doubt
in respect to: the plan of salvation, through
, the Divinity and mediation of Jesus Christ,
or in regard to his acceptance in him. As
this had beenhis settled conviction for years,
he appeared surprised that he should be
questioned upon the subject."
I have no doubt but your patrons will
read with interest the above observations
from the pen of Brother Pillsbury, who
knew Brother Church intimately and long.
At a meeting 'of the Presbytery of
Schuyler, called for the purpose, and held
at Quincy, Illinois, on Tuesday the 15th
inst., Rev. William MeCaitalish asked to be
dismissed from the pastoral charge of the
church in that city. After consultation,
Presbytery cited the church to appear at
the cowing meeting of Presbytery in Gales
burgh, October 12th.
This request of Brother MoO. will be a
matter of surprise to many, both in Quiney,
where he is very highly esteemed both as a
man and a minister, and throughout this
whole region of country. We sincerely
trust, if it shall be necessary for Presbytery
i to di,-solve Brother Mco.'s present relations,
be will not deem it necessary to leave the
'West. The services of a brother, whose
daily walk and conversation so eminently
become the Gospel, and whose Sabbath min
istrations are so valuable, can hardly be dis
pensed with in our forming communities,
where the suttees of the cause of Christ de
pends so much upon the instrument em
ployed. We hope Brother Moe. will remain
among us, and continue still to take part
with us in the ministry here, where the
field is " white to the harvest."
Brother J. C. Barr, of Princeton, informs
us of the organization of two new churches
within the bounds of the Presbytery of
Rock River. They are both located, I think,
in Bureau County, Illinois. The first was
organized near the last of July, at Tiskiiwa,
on the Chicago, Peoria and Rock Island
Railroad, and starts out upon what we trust
may be a pathway of usefulness, with six
teen members. The other was organized at
Malden, formerly Dover Station, on the
Chicago and Burlington Railroad, and is
composed of fourteen members, two of whom
are Ruling Elders. In reference to this
young organization, Brother Barr adds :
On Sabbath, before the church was one
Ivy oici, we took up a collection of eight
cloeiors for the Board of Domestic INlis
sionB. There was something really de
lightful in seeing this infant, before fully on
its feet, stretching forth its little hand to
help others." Your readers may, perhaps,
think this donation of eight dollars is
to b e f o ll owe d by a request, through
Pr , sbytery, of aid to the amount of one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty dollars. This
1 , 31,11, , r and Ad-corato
is by no means the case. They expect to
sustain a minister one•balf his time, without
aid from the hoard. Verily, here is a
model organization, and I most heartily
commend its example to all new churches,
both East and West.
There has also been an organization at
Port Byron, on the Mississippi river, within
a few weeks; but as I have not been in
formed of the particulars, I can only give it
this brief notice.
II mentioned in one of my late letters, that
the Congregational Herald reported, that
, brother, Dr. Phelps, of Dubuque, in a ser
mon at the dedication of a Presbyterian
church at Maquoketa, lowa, had stated that
the Pilgrim fathers who landed at Ply
mouth, were all Presbyterians save one, and
!that from him had descended all the Unita
rians of New England. We supposed, at
the time, that some waggish youngster had
been playing a Yankee trick upon the Her
ald, and we now find that it is even so.
Brother Phelps, of course, made no such
peurile statement. Below, your readers will
find a report, though somewhat meagre, of
the part of the sermon referred to, taken
from the Maquoketa Sentinel. The propo
sition under discussion is, "All correct
principles of civil and religious liberty, are
derived from the Bible, and preserved to
the world through the Church. ' The Dr.
proceeds to show, from history, the part
taken by the Presbyterian Church since the
days of the Apostles down to the present,
in preserving alive in the world, the princi
ples of Bible liberty, civil and Ecclesiastical.
He says, in referring to our own land:
" One of the first public demonstrations
in favor of Independence, was the famous
Mecklenburgh Declaration. This was drawn
up by the Rev. Zedekiah Balch and his
nine Ruling Elders of the Presbyterian
Church, Mecklenburgh, North Carolina. It
was entirely in the spirit, and for the most
part in the very words of the ancient
"league and covenant" of the Presbyteri
ans of Scotland, in a former century. With
this Declaration Thomas Jefferson was famil
iar, and with this in his mind, and with such
alterations as would adapt it to the occasion
and the circumstances under which be de
sired to use it, it formed the basis of that
Declaration he drew up and presented to the
representatives of the Colonies, and which
was, with some alterations by them, unani
mously adopted on the 4th of July, 1776..
"Then again, in the formation of the
Federal Constitution for these United States,
the master-mind of that Convention was Rev.
Dr. Witherspoon, the President of Prince
ton College, and with the Form of Govern
ment of the Presbyterian Church before
him, as presenting the most perfect model
of a pure, Republican Representative Gov
ernment, they were led to adopt a form of
government for this country, conforming, in
all its leading features, to the Form of Gov
ernment of the Presbyterian Church. So
that, in the form of government of these
United States, you have nothing more nor
less than the Form of Government of the
Presbyterian Church adapted to civil society.
Thus, the leading element in the establish
ment of our free institutions, our civil and
religious liberties, is found in the stern, un
bending, Scriptural system of doctrine and
order maintained by the Presbyterian
Church. The Puritans that landed at Ply
mouth
were not an exception to this, since
the church they organized on board the
Mayflower before they landed at Plymouth
Rock, was a Presbyterian church, with her
pastor, Ruling Elders, and Ddacons. They
did not, however, carry out these principles
afterwards; if they had, we would not have
heard of the banishment of the Quakers and
Rodger Williams, nor would Unitarianism
have spread its blight over that land."
As we stated before, the Doctor is able to
sustain whatever he thus carefully affirms.
I have conferred with several leading
minds in the Synods lying upon the Missis
sippi, since the last meeting of the Board of
Directors for the Theological Seminary for
the North-West, and there seems to be a
growing inclination to place the Institution
wholly under the control of 'the General
Assembly. One brother of age and experi
ence, and who knows well the feeling in the
region where he resides, writes me : " The
half-way plan will not do. It may answer
for the present, but I do not think it will be
approved by the Synods, as their ultimate
arrangement. If the Synods will place it
under the entire control of the Assembly, as
Princeton and Danville are, it will become
one of our best Institutions—a blessing to
the world; but otherwise, I see no hope for
it. it must go down-be a total failure."
There has been, I think, a material change
in sentiment in the Synods here, upon this
matter, since the meeting of the Board.
Many who previously, for the sake of peace
and harmony, would have been willing that
the subject of control rest with the Synods,
or who would have adopted, heartily, the
" halfway" plan, are now resolved upon
handing it over to the Assembly. They are
determined to make this the condition of
their continued support. In the meantime,
we have great hope, as often before ex
pressed, in the ultimate success of the enter
prise. But we need more player, and greater
dependence upon God, and a deeper con
viction of the truth that the Lord must build
the house, and not man. When will man
leave his own insignificance, and the utter
inutility of his most deeply-laid, and skill
fully devised plans ?
The meeting of Presbyteries and Synods
throughout the West, are drawing near. I
will endeavor to keep your readers advised
of the progress of the Lord's cause within
our bounds, Yours, &0.,

.The Panic
The monetary affairs of the countryare in a
deplorable condition. The crash is sudden and
terrific. Our Pittsburgh Banks have all suspend
ed, except the " Old Pittsburgh." The Philadel
phia, Lancaster, and Harrisburg Banks have
suspended, and most, if not all the Pennsylvania
country Banks. Also, the Delaware and Balti
mere Banks, the Washington, and Norfolk, and
most of the Virginia Banks ; also the Providence
Banks. The suspension is likely to become still
far more extensive.
As yet, the Carolina. and Georgia Banks have
not felt the pressure. The New York City Banks
maintain specie payments, mostly, as do, also, the
New Jersey Banks. New York country notes are
at two to five per cent. discount ; and New Eng
land notes generally, are at about the same range.
Governor Pollock has called a meeting of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, to consider the state
of affairs, and specially to legalize the suspension
SO as to relieve the Banks from the forfeiture of
their charters—possibly a very needful, but
rather a hazardous course.

Under a late decision of Attorney General Black,
Consuls resigning and returning home are entitled
to pay, up to their arrival home, provided there
has been no malfeasance in office.
Attorney General Black, in response to ques
tions submitted to him by the Secretary of State,
relative to the construction put on an act of Con
gress by the late President and his Secretary of
State, under the advice of the Attorney General,
which was, that a Minister or Consul who was on
service on the 30th of June, 1856, and who was
retained in office, was, to all intents and purposes
of the new act, in the same condition as if he had
received his commission afterwards. In other
words, that the lasi converted the incumbent from
full paid into salaried officers.
Judge Black considers this the right construc
tion of the law.
27.—The Tallahassee Sentinel, of the 22d
inst., reports the prevalence of the yellow fever
at Key West. Many cases had occurred, and one
death. Dr. Jackson Maxwell and his lady and
child are lying low. The origin of the disease is
attributed to admitting seamen from Aspinwall to
the Hospital.
Col. Bates, the editor of the Alabama Journal,
at Montgomery, is dead.
The storm in which the Central America went
down did greater damage to the Marine than was
at first supposed. So far as heard, forty-eight
vessels were lost or damaged—six steamers, nine
barques, seven brigs, twenty-two schooners.
The Chinese sugar cane syrup has been offered
in St. Louis market, and brought from forty-five
to fifty cents per gallon. In New Orleans some
sold for forty cents a gallon; Cabe. molasses sell

Among the curiosities which the ladies of Wor
cester County have forwarded for exhibition at
the Mechanics' Fair in Worcester, Mass., is an in
fant's blanket wrought a handred and forty years
ago by the hands of the mother of Samuel Adams
of revolutionary fame.
POTA.TO ROT.—The Alexandria (Va.,) Sentinel
has been informed by two gentlemen, one from
Faugnier and the other from Fairfax, Va., that
the rot has appeared in a portion of their pota
toes in a very deitructive degree. Scarcely a
potato in the infected plantings seemed to escape
the taint.
The cotton crop of the United States for the
present year is estimated at 3,000,000 bales.
Allowing 600,000 bales for domestio consumption,
and there will remain 2,400,000 bales for export.
The present prices warrant an average of sixty
dollars per bale, which would give an aggregate
value of exports, from this source alone, of near
, ly one hundred millions of dollars.
NEWSPAPERS IN THE WEST.—There are now
published in lowa 19 daily papers, 109 weekly pa
pers, one semi-monthly, and six monthly periodi
cals; in all 133, which, with an average circula
tion of 1,000 copies each, would make 133,000
newspapers published and circulated in the State
each week. In Minnesota 43 weekly and three
daily newspapers are printed and published. Of
these seventeen are Republican in politics, four
teen are Democratic, and thirteen are Independ
ent.
GOV. WALIKEIR'S PROOLAMATION.—The Missouri
Democrat has seen this document, in reference to
the October eleCtions. ilt is not only lengthy, but
important. Walker takes exception to the opinion
of Judge Cato and Attorney General Weir, that
the payment of a territorial tax is a qualification
for the right of suffrage, and unless the tax is
paid, no, person has a right to vote. He declahs,
however, that all can vote—the only qualification
being "six months' residence in the territory."
The mortality in New York City, during the
past week, reached five hundred and sixty, an in
crease of one hundred and twenty-nine over the
corresponding week of the previous year. Of
these, three hundred and eighty-eight were chil
dren under ten years. The prevailing diseases
are pulmonary and cerebraL The deaths of the
week previous were six hundred and nine, being
forty-nine more than occurred during the past
seven days.

Nothing is more becoming to a man or woman
than a beautiful luxuriant head of hair, and a
woman's beauty is certainly incomplete without a
fair complexion, and he or she who neglects these
great and important adornMents of nature, must
expect to suffer the mortification of prema
ture baldness, and a wrinkled face, and a sallow
skin. Nothing is necessary to preserve these es
sential but the use of Prof. Wood's Restorative.—
Lottiaville Times.
PROF. WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATFVE.—We have
had occasion to use this famous preparation of
Prof. Wood's, and after thoroughly testing its
qualities, we find that where the hair is thin it
will thicken it, if grey it will restore it to its or
iginal oolor ; likewise it gives it a glossy appear
ance, as well as keeps the hair from falling off.

Ald. Jonathan Neely, of Lower St. Clair, says:
"I have derived great benefit from its use for
weakness of the stomach and indigestion."
The Editor of the Kittaning Free Frees says:
After one of the best physicians in this place bad
failed, Bccrhave's Holland Bitters cured me of the
worst form of dyspepsia.
James M. Murphy, says: " After several phys

And behold him face to face.
DlED—August 17th, at his residence in Cook
Township, Westmoreland County, Pa., Mr. JOHN
CAIRNS, in the 37th year of his age.
Some eighteen months before his death, a cold
a?pes.red to have taken an unusual hold on Mr.
Cairns' system. Fearing that it might end in
consumption, ho applied to Dr. Fitch. He fol
lowed the prescriptions of that physician for
several months, but all the while the seeds of that
insidious disease were taking sure root. Its ad
vance was slow, but regular and sure. Finding
othat earthly physicians could render no effectual
service, he applied himself to the Physician of
Souls. Then it was, when he had a comfortable
hope in Christ, that he could resign his bodily
disease into the hand of God, and meekly wait .
his appointed time.
Ditn—At Birmingham, Pa., Sept. 14th, aftei

her age.
The light of our home has gone out, but it'has'
only gone before to be our guiding star to a bet
ter, a brighter, an eternal home. Her confiding
song in death was:
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the raging billows roll,
While the tempest still is high..
Hide me, 0 my Saviour hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
0 receive my soul at last. J:11, P.
DIED—At her residence in IThriesville, 0., on
August 29th, Mri. ANN MARY Unalcit, aged
66 years, 10 months, and 24 days. ~
The deceased was horn in Cumberland County;
Pa., October sth, 1790. She came to Tuscarawas
County, Ohio, in the year 1807. , Seven children
remain to mourn her loss, and 'one is with his
mother beyond the Jordan. Her sufferings were
intense ; protracted•from the first of last March:
She was a member of the Presbyterian church,
lihrichsville, ever since its organization. The
most happy and uncomplaining spirit adorned
her Christian character. She died in the triumphs
of faith. For weeks before her death she had
been anxiously waiting her heavenly Father's
call. At last it came (and it was in the
of the evening shades,) and before the moritin/ 1
sun she bad entered with him into the New,Ja
rusalem ; and now the morning of eternity
crowns her redemption.
Aunt Mary Uhrich is dead; and quite a group
of little hearts feel the loss. If these little
friends ever want to see Aunt Mary again, I 'Win
tell you how yen may—you must follow her as
she followed Christ. You are all , commended to
the grace of God. S. P.
DiEn—On the 21st of September, Mrs. ME
LISSA 8., wife of the Rev. George Morton, pastor
of Ebenezer church, in the 23C1 year of her age.
The deceased was the eldest daughter of Mr.
Simeon Jackman, Ruling Elder in Maple Creek
church, Washington County, Pa., in which church
she first made a profession of the religion of
Jesus. And ever since has she adorned the doc
trine of God her Saviour, by a walk and conver
sation becoming the Gospel.
The summons from her heavenly Father came
very suddenly. She was in the enjoyment of her
usual good health in the morning, and attending
to her domestic affairs until about 11 o'clock,
when, suddenly seized with apoplexy, she sunk
to the floor; and notwithstanding all efforts for
her recovery, gently breathed her last about half
past six in the evening. Although called thus,
as it were, without warning, yet there is good
ground for hope that, when her Lord came, he
found her ready. The best evidence of this is,
that she lived the life of the righteous, and was
thus prepared to have her last end like his.
They that knew , her best, loved her most. The,
heartfelt sympathy of a weeping congregation
testifies to their high estimate of her excellence
and worth. And a donation of some forty dol
lars, very recently presented to herby the ladies
of the church, is another evidence of their warm
attachment and esteem. In her short pilgrimage,
she has not been without her afflictions; but they
were borne Christian meekness. One sweet
little daughter Was taken from hei- atthe age of
two years and three months ; and now she has
been taken from another dear little one, at the
age of one year and ten months Arid thus
sorely 'bereaved husband, a weepingr father and
mother, sisters and brothers, W and ' , a circle of
warmly attached friends, are leftto mourn. her
departure just in the prime , of her' days. , But
01 how much ,better that these days should be
filled up in the blies of heaven, than here upon
this weary and ein=stricken earth 1 The righteorts
