The war at Knes. College continues. The Presbyterian portion of the Board of Trus tces claim, that it is their desire to have the Institution continue, as it has been, a union ,sehool ; and for that reason they wish Presi eat Blanchard removed, who, they say, has been making the attempt to bring it wholly under Congregational control, and who is well known to be an ultra.sectary. Presi dent B. is now acting in his old capacity, by request of the Executive Committee of the Board, but a meeting of the Board is called for the 14th last, and it is expected that the action of the Executive Committee will be disapproved of, and Mr. B. again thrown out. It is understood that Dr. A. D. Smith, of New York, has been written to with ref erence to the Presidency; and it is expected, that if the way was open, he would accept the position. I have before stated that Mr. Beecher, of "The Conflict of Ages" noto riety, bad taken a very active part, in sup port of Mr. Blanchard—delivering public lectures, and writing letters for the public prints, in which he attacks Dr. Gale, and other parties, with _great violence, a la. Beecher. A lawyer of Quincy, by the name of Browning, a man of some notoriety and. considerable talent, has taken up the pen: and attacked Mr. Beecher, charging him' with a desire to secure for himself the Pres.: idency of the Institution. This, Mr. Beecher formally denies; but it is reported that a letter will soon be published, from an author ity of undoubted character, fully sustaining iMr. Browning's assertion. Thus the fire burns. In the mean time, our own Institutions •of learning are going steadily forward, quietly accomplishing a great and good work. Carroll and Alexan der Colleges, we understand, are opening under favorable circumstances; and several Presbyterial Institutions, located at differ ent points, are maturing their plans, and preparing to take high rank in the land, at no. distant day.

Luther Dodd was elected Moderator. Mr. D. Mitchell, a candidate under our care, was dis missed to the Presbytery of Nassau. Mr. A. S. Thorn was ordained as an Evangelist, he having received a commission from the Board of Foreign Missions to the Kickapoo Indians. Rev. T. A. Shearer preached the •ordination sermon; the Moderator presided, proposed the constitutional questions and offered prayer, and Rev. James D. Mason gave the charge to the missionary. The committee appointed to organize a church in Toledo, reported that they had performed the duty assigned them. The committee appointed to organize a church in Linden, made a similar report. Tipton was chosen as the place for our next stated meeting. Rev. G, D. Porter received a call from the church of Tipton, which he accepted ; and Rev. Messrs. D. D. McKee and Jones were appointed to install him. The Presbytery resolved to make the Banner -and Advocate their organ for the publication of notion, &0., and directed the Stated Clerk ac cordingly. The Rev. Paulus Meiss, who had been suspend ed some time since, was deposed from the Gospel ministry on the ground of contumacy. Rev. Messrs. Boyd and Porter were appointed 'to visit Gower's Ferry, and if the way be clear, or ganize a church. A letter was read by the Stated Clerk, from the Presbytery of lowa, requesting the Presbytery of Cedar to unite in a petition to the General Assem bly to change the line of the Synods of North and Southern lowa, so that Muscatine County may be united with the Southern Synod. In this „request the Presbytery refused to write: Ist. Because it is contrary to the wishes of the church of Musoatine ; and, 2d. Muscatine County always belonged to us, and there is no reason why her relation should be changed, It. H. Morrow,minister, and Judge Parvan, Ruling Elder, were nominated principals, and D. D. McKee and James M. DaNell their alternates, to attend the next meeting of the General Assem bly. F. A. SMARM; S. C. For the Presbyterian Manner and Advocate Presbytery► of Huntingdon. This body met at Altoona on Tuesday, the 6th, and continued their sessions to Thursday noon. Pastor D. X. Junkin opened the Presbytery with a sermon from Luke all' : 32 ; " When thou art converted,- strengthen thy brethren." From the opening to the close, the sessions were harmoni. one and pleasant, and we trust profitable. Much ordinary business, and a good deal of extra busi ness, was done. An impressive discourse was delivered, on Tuesday night, on Chinese Missions, by the Rev. M. S. Culbertson, of Ningpo. A good sermon on the Scripture Scheme of Benefi cence, was preached by Rev. G. W. Thompson. An interesting prayer-meeting and Presbyterial conference in regard to the causes and the reme dies of the low state of religion in the churches, was held, Very encouraging results of the itin erant mission supported by the Presbytery, were verified ; and although much to the regret of the Presbytery, Mr. Elliott retires from this work, Presbytery resolved to promote it, and to employ other laborers. The, Rev. D. L. Hughes was re leased from his pastoral charge at Spruce Creek and Sinking Valley, and Rev. N. Shotwell from that of East Kishacoquilln,s. Rev. M. Floyd and Dr. D, X. Junkin, ministers, and Messrs. Baird and Dysart, elders, were appointed Commission ers to the next General Assembly. The accom panying resolutions on Temperance, and the Oath, were adopted, And after a delightful time spent together, and in the enjoyment of the liberal hos pitality of the kind people of Altoona, Presby tery adjourned to hold their next stated meeting at Perryville. In regard to tho afflictions of our Missionary brethren in India, it was Reeolued, That the trials, perils and sufferings of the lis.Aotiarles of our own Board and of other 'Missionary Societies,by reason of the mutiny of the native troops in India, have awakened our deepest sympathies and onr most earnest solicitude, and call for increased interest and prayers in their behalf. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Presbytery, this rage of the heathen is no new thing, but is what the Church, from Apostolic times to the present, has been called to encounter and must expect ; and that it furnishes no argument against the glorious Missionary enterprise ; and so far from proving a discouragement, it ought to stim ulate the Church to more confident hope, and more zealous and earnest effort to sustain the Foreign Missionary work. Resolved, That the pastors, elders and people in connexion with this Presbytery be affection ately urged, in view of these and other signs of the times, to increased zeal, liberality and prayer iu behalf of Foreign Missions. THMPRRANOII By the Presbytery of Huntingdon, at their late meeting, it was Resolved, That this Presbytery attach undimin ished importance to the Temperance enterprise, and desire all our people to favor it; and that the ministers of the Presbytery be requested to de liver one or more discourses in advocacy of this much ue4dbn reform, before the expiration of the present year. THE OATH. On the subject of the Oath it was Resolved, That this Presbytery respectfully and earnestly counsel the people of the several con gregations under our care, when lawfully called to take the oath, to adopt that form of the oath, prescribed in the laws of the Commonwealth, which seems to be approved by Scripture usage, via., the oath with the uplifted hand. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Presbytery this ordinance„ , which in our Confession of Faith is recognized RS an act of Rumens WoitsuiP, ought to be explained from the pulpit with pea ter frequency. ,W7lnd Furnace.--Air.

Our Banks, with the exception of the old Pitts burgh and the new Allegheny, decline to pay specie; but they all do business, and are regard ed as sound. The Brokers stand firm, and do a currency" business. Our merchants and man ufacturers manage to meet or to defer payments, so as not to fail. But all suffer. The business transacted is greatly less than usual. Manu facturers are reducing their operations, and either discharging /arge portions of their hands, or putting them on short time. There is a great want of confidence, which causes a difficulty in making exchanges, trans mitting funds and in making sales, at distant places. Men do not know in what houses or in stitutions to confide. The revulsion in business is deep and extensive. It will require some weeks, perhaps some months longer, for things to settle down to order. Mercantile confidence is indispensable to the healthful and extended busi ness of the country. But it had , become too great. It is now too small. It must grow again. It will grow, as the basis adequate to sustain it shall be discovered. The distress in money matters has not yet reached its crisis. trp to Tuesday at 3 o'clock, thirteen of the New York Banks had given way, and a general snspension was contemplated. A few of the old Banks spoke of holding ont, but at 10 P. M., the Presidents were in consultation, with a view to a general stoppage' of specie payments; under this expectation, stocks had risen, and there was a gleam of hope. GIiAMbIATKIIS The difficulty with the New York Banks is, that the Legielsit,ure cannot, as in Pennsylvania, legal. MEMO Presbytery of Redstone. E={l by ery. The Times nrE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE. ize a suspension, because the State Constitution makes it a forfeiture of charter. This difficulty is likely to he obviated, in some cases, by creditor friends of the Banks obtaining injunctions against their making payments ; but this would seem to he at the expense of closing them while the in. junction continued. The Bostonians were much excited by the sus pension in New York, but were litely to follow the example. It is a terrible crash. An Important Arrangement. We see it stated that the Associated Press of New York is arranging to intercept the steampo, from Europe, off Cape Race, and send their nave thence by telegraph. A large majority of the steamers, from England, France, and Germany, pass within ten to fifteen miles of the Cape. The plan is, to have a yacht there, duly manned and provided, to hail each steamer. There will be pre-arrangement with the steamers to have the news ready, and drop it on a float, to be instantly picked up and carried to land. It will then be forwarded by the New York and Newfoundland Telegraph Line, and will thus reach us in six or eight days from its leaving Europe. The enter prise and liberality of the Press demands the gratitude of the country. Liberia. There were lamentable accounts circulated of famine in Liberia. Considering them not duly authenticated, we did not aid in spreading them. It now appears that they were inventions, or ex aggerations. The Baltimore Patriot says: The Colonization ship Mary Caroline Stevens, at this port, brings advices from Liberia to the 21st of August. Among the passengers brought by her were the Rev. John Seys, the Rev. Mr. Horne, and the Rev. Mr. Rambo, all of whom givegratifying accounts of the prosperity of the new Republic. The recent account of starvation is fully disproved, some of the recent emigrants writing home that they never saw finer crops , of corn and other grain than they had seen since their'arrival in Africa. Flour had grown rather scarce, and dealers had consequent ly put up the prices, but potatoes and other articles were abundant, and famine the last thing thought of. Kansas. The State Election, held on the Ist inst., has resulted, probably, in the choice of Parrot, the Republican candidate, for Congress, and of a ma jority of Republicans to each House of the Leg islature. Reports, however, are quite contradic tory, and the political cast of the Legislature is still doubtful. The election seems to have been conducted without violence. The Election of Tuesday. Our city was very quiet. The vote not large. Returns come in slowly. The Republicans have carried Allegheny County, by small majorities, except the County Commissioner. So says report. Packer is elected Governor, most evidently, by a large majority. The State offices are likely all won by the Democrats. The Pennsylvania Legislature and Relief. After a very exciting session, the Legislature adjourned on Tuesday night. A. Relief Bill was passed by a vote of 18 to 13 in the Senate, and fifty-five to thirty-six in the House. It legalizes the suspension, and gives the Banks till the 3d Monday of April next to resume specie payments. The new Legislature will then have had time to act. FROSTS AT TIM SOUTR.—There was a very gen eral frost at the South last week. Oa Tuesday and Wednesday, a heavy frost in Roanoke County, Va., seriously injured the tobacco. On Wednes day night, there was a sharp frost in Raleigh, Edgedeld district, S. C., and Augusta, Ga.

The news from India was still gloomy. The British troops seem to be performing wonders; but they were still but few iu number ; and dis ease, as well as the sword, was cutting them off rapidly. To perform long marches, and fight hard battles, and to repel violent sorties from day to day, under a Tropical su.. in the months of July and August, must he to those born and reared in Europe, terrific. How it can be en dured, and how victories can be achieved, fighting one against ten, seems to us almost incredible. The physical energy, valor, skill, and dogged ob stinacy of the English troops, is wonderful. Sir It. M. Carden has been; elected Lord Mayor of London. The question is agitated for an early meeting of the English Parliament. Cotton and breadstuffs were in demand, and prices steady. Provisions were dull. Fran • M. The French decree prohibiting the export of corn, has been extended to September, 1868.. The Imperial interview at Stuttgardt lasted fonr days, during which the Emperor Napoleon and the zar bad sveral -private interviews. The Czar and the Emperor of Austria were en-route for Weimer. b d a. The Atlantic brings advices from India, from Calcutta to August 23d, Bombay to the 31st, and Delhi to the 12th of August. Numerous sharp encounters had occurred at Delhi, in which the - rebels were defeated, but they still hold possession of the city. The European reinforcements were arriving, and an assault was expected to be made about the 20th. General Havelock had reached .Luoknow after two more victorious encounters; but owing to his force being wee.kened by the encounters and dis ease, he bad been compelled to return to Dawn - pore. A doubtful dispatch states that. Havelock had reached Lucknow, the garrison of which still held out against the besiegers. The garrtsons at Agra were secure at the latest advices, bitt their condition was precarious. The'Bombay Times received by the overland mail; does not mention the arrival of General Havelock at Lucknow. It designates the intelli gence - received as of a disastrous character. A letter from the above place says that the King of Delhi has offered to accept of terms, provided his annual stipend was increased largely. But he was informed that nothing but an uncondition al surrender would be accepted. A number of the mutineers were leaving Delhi, unarmed. An English officer reports that he saw a boat containing Nena Sahib and his family, swamped in the Ganges, and that all were drowned. A telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles. receiv ed at Paris, says that , the population of Bengal were beginning to rise, and were killing theyEirig lish, and that the revolution was becoming gen eral. Other accounts say that more mutinies have occurred among the Bombay troops, and that several suspected regiments have been dis armed. Lerd Elgin has transferred the frigates Shannon and Pearl, to the use of the Ind& Government. He was about returning to China. •.. The latest accounts state that General Have lock's position is regarded as very precarious. The Punjaub is tranquil. The King's magazine, at Jodhpore, was struck by lightning, and exploded. Nine hundred per sons were killed, and a million pounds sterling of property was destroyed. 3, The whole province of Bengal was alarmed. The Civilians and Gejahs had fled to Patna, leav ing the treasury in charge of the 64th Regiment, which is in a critical condition. • Calcutta was becoming crowded with fugitives from all parts of Bengal.

DIED-At her home, near Shelocta, Indiana County, Pa., 'ANNA. MARY, daughter of Joseph Henderson, aged two years and nine months. Like birds that come from a far-off land, To sing in Summer time, Ere Winter's winds began to blow, She sought a happier clime. Sweet was her youthful voice to hear, And bright was her blue eye; But her voice was not too sweet to hush, Nor her eye too bright to die. Wei) not, dear friends, for she has learned A "new song " from her King ; 'T will not be many Winters more, We'll go and hear her sing. Dino—Near Brady's Bend, Pa., September 24th, in the 6.3 d year of her age, Mrs. MARGARET Molizz, wife of Thomas McKee, Sr., a Ruling El der in the Presbyterian church of Union. Her sickness was short, and her call sudden; but not so sudden as to find her unprepared. She had served her Saviour, meekly and quietly, for forty years; and the Friend she had trusted so long, did not desert her, we have reason to think, in the hour of trial. She has left a husband, and a large family, to mourn her loss, and walk in the light of her Christian example. May their end, and ours, be as peaceful. A grain of wheat is not quickened, except it die. PASTOR. Dinn—ln Argyle, Washington County, N. Y., Sabbath, September 20th, Miss Jartr. H. Hau nts., in the 28th year of her age. In the language of the kind physician, who, at tended her in her last illness, "Angels were around her during the day, and as the sun sank in beanty behind the hills, they took their depar ture, bearing the spirit of our dear young friend with them to glory." Her end was peace. Her last words were, having just bid her weeping friends an affectionate farewell, " Now go away, and leave me with my Saviour." Endowed by God, with most amiable qualities of heart, and lovely 'traits of character, she won the esteem and affection of all who knew her. All now mourn her loss, and are ready to join and say, in the words of the poet : - " Bright be the place of thy soul, . No lovelier spirit than thine E'er burst from its mortal control, In-the orbs of the blessed to shine. , g On earth, thou wert almost Divine, As thy soul shall immortally be ; And our sorrow shall cease to repine, When we know that thy God is with thee 4 4 Light be the turf on thy tomb, • May its verdure like emeralds be; There should not be a shadow of gloom In aught that reminds us of thee. " Bright flowers and an evergreen tree May spring from the spot of thy rest, But no"et"iliress nor yew let us aee, For whiShould we mourn for the blest ?" We hope to meet her in glory. W.W.H. Drun—Of apoplexy, October Ist, in the 23d year of her age, Mrs. ELIZABETH MARILEE, wife of Mr. George C. Marker, of Ligonier, and daughter of Robert and Eliza Caldwell, of Laughlinstown, Pa. Mrs. Marker was a consistent member of Ligonier Presbyterian church. Though death claimed his victim young, and without a moment of warning, yet the survivingrelativee may indulge a good hope, that their departed friend has passed from earth to heaven—from a world of sorrow and misery, to one of happiness and bliss. To this family, afflictions have not come singly. About a year since, Mrs. Caldwell was left a widow; then death claimed a.son, then a grand child, then a daughter, the mother'of this child; and now: another daughter, in the bloom of life and the fullness of health, is smitten down. May "God temper the blast to the shorn lamb," and cause, that these afflictions may work out for the bereaved "a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." ' DIED—In his 21st year, at the Indiana House, 'lndiana, Pa., on Monday, September 14th, of typhoid fever, James 0., second son of Robert and Mary Alexander; his mortal remains were conveyed to Williamsburg, Blair County, Pa., (the, residence of his parents,) for interment. Mr. Alexander was a young man of promise, and,though just starting out in life, had already obtained a reputation by the morality of his prin ciples and his exemplary conduct ; and had secured many friends by his amiable disposition and gen tlemanly deportment. His illness,' at first, was not of a character to cause much anxiety, but subsequently, from drink ing ice water, the most malignant form of typhoid fever was induced. He continued for several days in a state of delirium, (the result of the dis ease) with but few lucid intervals ; when these ensued, he was engaged in preparation for that change which it was evident awaited him. About two hours before he breathed.his last, entire con• sciousness appeared to possess his mind ; the opportunity was embraced by a friend to resume religious conversation with him, to which he was attentive, and the impression was made, that be entertained a hope; but the rapid decline of his physical strength precluded as much conversation as was desired, and soon, With . apparent com posure and resignation, without a struggle, he expired ; not among strangers; though from home, friends were there; and also his father, sister and his uncle, James Alexander, of Blairsville, Indiana County, who had been notified of his ill ness, were there to administer to hie spiritual and temporal welfare, and we trust his 'spirit was • transported, by angels, to the regions of the blessed. Doan—Of a. hidden and lingering disease, on the evening of the 18th of September, Mrs. NANCY R. C. STOCKTON, wife of the Rev. John Stockton, D. D., pastor of the Presbyterian church of Cross Creek, Washington County, Pa., in the 63d year of her age. The deceased was a daughter of James Clark, Esq., a highly respectable citizen of Franklin County, Pa., who lived and died near Mercers burg. Upon the death of her parents, near the same time—which occurred when she was ap proaching womanhood—the family were scattered, and she found a temporary home in the family of her guardian, the late Major John Brownson. Her removal to Washington County, along with her brothers and sisters, was followed, after the lapse of a few years, by her marriage in 1831, an event which brought her into most happy union with a husband, now crushed under the Borrows of bereavement, and also invested her with the responsibilities of a pastor's wife, in a very large and important congregation. Fe more thin a quarter of a century, she fulfilled the duties of this double relation, with a meek quiet ness and an unobtrusive fidelity, which endeared her, by ever-strengthening ties, to all with whom she came into familiar contact, and especially to the circle of home, where, as a wife and mother, she was the centre of confidence and affection. Her habitual disposition to silence, in the pres ence of strangers, prevented the extensive knowl edge of her virtues ; but . in the narrower sphere of ,her own preference, these virtues were only the more powerfully developed, bearing their ripe fruit in the substantial benefit and happiness of those who surrounded her. Mrs. Stockton was the mother of five sons and one daughter, all of whom survive, except one son who died in infancy. She lived to see her efforts crowned and her prayers answered, in the hopeful conversion of all these, save one; and that one was earnestly remembered in the same faith which sustained her own last sorrows. Three of her sons have been graduated in Wash ington College, the last having received his de gree only two days before her departure to a brighter world. The fragrance of a mother's prayers will accompany him to the Theological Seminary, where he is about to seek preparation for that ministry, to which her wishes, uniting with his own purpose, had consecrated him. The piety of the subject of this notice was deep, uniform, and abiding. Its exhibition was not in noisy display, but in calm trust in the merits of Christ, and the conscientious discharge of every duty. Her decline of health covering a period of nearly two years, fulfilled the purpose of its mission as the instrument to accomplish the more entire subjection of her spirit to the will of God, and her closer communion with her. chosen and beloved Saviour. It was employed by the Holy Spirit to wean her from the endear ments of earth, and to perfect her fitness for the joys to come. The progress of her disease was distinctly marked with increased freedom in re ligious conversation, and it pleased her Heavenly Father, who alone foresaw the period of her sud den departure, to make the last day of her life one of peculiar ease and tranquility, a day mainly employed in unreserved communion with her closest earthly friend, upon the subject of her spiritual state and her heavenly hopes. She died as she had lived. reposing upon the merits of Jesus alone for salvation, and leaving no doubts in the minds of surviving friends respecting her safety and glory in heaven. The funeral of Mrs. Stockton was a peculiarly solemn and affecting occasion. Seven ministerial brethren met, without concert, to sympathise with their afflicted brother, all of whom took part-in the religious services. The solemn pro cession, consisting of almost an entire congrega tion who seemed to regard the affliction as their own, and many from abroad, moved to the church, and there, preparatory to the interment, in praise, prayer, and exhortation, God's name was praised, his grace was invoked, and his providen tial will was interpreted and applied. A. sacred stillness reigned over the large assembly during these services, whilst many were melted to tears. God was in the congregation of his people. The occasion will long be remembered as one of un usual interest and power. May the God of all grace follow it with his richest blessing in every heart. B. D H.H 'Drzn—Of typhoid 'fever, at his residence, near Fairmont, Va., Mr. Jolts JONES, in the 60th year of his age. Brother Jones was born in the State of Mary land. He removed when young with hie parents to Monongalia County, Western Virginia. His father's family consisted of six sons and three daughters ; of whom five sons and two daughters are still living. Brother Jones united with the Presbyterian church of Fairmont, Va., on February 6th, 1831, and was ordained as a Ruling Elder of that church on the 4th day of April. Both as a mem ber and an elder of the churcli, Mr. Jones pos sessed traits of character well worthy of our imitation. He was firm in his attachment to the church of his choice. He attended constantly on all the means of grace, public and private. He never forsook the meetings of his own church for those of any other church. His religion was not that of a mere formalist, but eminently experi mental and practical. As a Ruling Elder, he was one of the moat perfect models with whom I have been acquainted. He was always at his post. It is hence manifest that, in the death of this brother, the church of Fairmont has lost one of her most efficient elders and brightest ornaments, the community one of its most useful members, and his family an affectionate husband and ten der father. The Session adopted the following minute : Wasnmis, It has pleased our Heavenly Father in his adorable providence, to remove by death, from our midst, our dearly beloved brother Jones, a member of the Session of this church; therefore, Resolved, That we desire to bow in bumble ac quiescence, in this sore bereavement, to the sov ereign will of him who is infinite in love and in wisdom. Resolved, That we do regard this visitation as a loud warning to us, saying, "be ye also ready." Resolved, That we cherish with delight the fond remembrance of the efficiency and success with which brother Jones ever discharged all his duties as a Christian, and as a Ruling Elder, and in all the relations of life. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his afflicted family in their great loss. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of our deceased brother and likewise to the editor of the paper published in this place, and to the editor of the Presbyterian Rattner and Advocate, for publication. R. Lewis, Moderator. Dian—At his residence, in Guernsey County, Ohio, on Tuesday night, September 22d, 1857, WILLIAM BLACKIITTAN, in the year of his age. Mr. Blackburn's disease was pulmonic. He lived a retired, upright, Christian life, and died the death of the righteous. He was an honest, thrifty farmer, and much beloved by all who knew him. He was long a worthy member of the Pres byterian church at Washington, and a most punc tual attendant on the means of grace. His place in his pew is now vacant. We will miss him. He left an affectionate wife and a large family of chil dren behind him. May they all follow him to heaven. For this we pray. May the God of the fatherless be their God. W.M.F. .
