The Synod of Ohio.
As you know, Editor, this body met
in Wooster, Wayne County, on Thursday,
I: , th, and c mtinued in session until
the t. flowing Monday e vening. At your re
titit,t, I note it few particulate of its doings,
IN well as something about the t own i n
which it met, and the long railroad ride that
some of us had in getting there:
Taking the Central Ohio Road for Newark,
we were dashed along at the rate of thirty
miles per hour, Westward; but, to our die
appointment, the train from Newark to
Mansfield had left just ten minutes before
our arrival. Three of us determined to go
on to Columbus, the rest debarked at New
ark. We had but a few minute's delay at
our Capital. Finding a train bound for
Cleveland, we went aboard, and were soon
on our way for ()mediae, sixty miles North
ward. This is one of the finest roads in the
State. It is straight and smooth, and we
darted over it at the rate of forty.five miles
per hour I The country around is flat and
monotonous, and most of it covered with
forests, exceedingly dense and beautiful. A.
slight frost, and the cool October winds, had
tinged the leaves on the trees, and the grass
and corn, with Autumn's richest yellow, red
and crimson, filling the mind with a pleas.
iug melancholy, , ind leading it to contem
plate that beautifully expressed, but solemn
admonition of Scripture : "We all do fade
as the leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind,
have taken us away." But, blessed be God,
there is a grace that can make us to become
evergreens—trees planted by the rivers of
water, covered with leaves that never fade,
and crowned with fruits that never fail—a
grace that secures to the soul an inheritance
incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not
away. There is, indeed, beauty in Autumn,
though associated with thoughts of death;
and no other season of the year has lessons
more signifioant and solemn. Let us, then,
try and understand them, and be wise, con
sidering well our latter end.
With such reflections, we came to Crest
line. Here we found quite a number of
our brethren, awaiting a train for Wooster.
Four hours and a half passed away quickly,
in miscellaneous conversation, in a capacious
room, made comfortable by the largest stove
I ever saw; and we all started for Wooster,
eighty miles Eastward, where we arrived
safely, about an hour past midnight. A
friend at the depot conducted us to the
" Mansion," where we got comfortable
quarters till morning. Having arisen,
and partaken of a good breakfast, we re
paired to the Presbyterian church, where
we found the Synod already in session, it
having been constituted the evening before.
As for our brethren that we left in Newark,
they 'lid not make their appearance until
late in the afternoon, having found this
place, via Mansfield, on hog and coal trains,
as best they could!
The Synod had been opened with a ser
mon by Rev. W. M. Robinson, the Modera
tor, from the words, "Ye are the salt of
the earth," We did not hear the sermon,
but heard it well spoken of.
Rev. J. M. Faris wn chosen Moderator,
by acclamation, and Messrs. Smith and
Johnston, Clerks. Most of the ministers
were present ; but there was a sad derelic
tion on the part of the elders. A. majority
of the reports from the churches were cheer
ing. Peace reigns throughout our borders;
not the peace of death, but of love. No
judicial business was reported. Additions
have been made to all the churches, both by
examination and letter; and some of the
churches report accessions as high as eighty,
fifty, thirty, twenty, So. Only one minister
died during the year, and he was an aged
father of fourscore.
Our Synod has in it some venerable and
much-loved members. Allow me to name
fathers, Lowe, Rollen, Hanna, and Hoge.
These are all wise, safe, and good men—
men whom we love to honor, counsel, and
follow. May God long spare their lives,
that they way meet with, and direct us in
our Synodical deliberations! But a large
majority of us are young men, or men in
the prime and vigor of life. Each may
have his own peculiar excellence or defect;
but all are one at heart and purpose, as to
the nature and object►of their great commis
sion. A close reader of human nature
might, indeed, detect the inkling of a pan
chant, here and there, as to who shall be
greatest. This can be seen in certain af
fected movements, or in a would be-thought
dignified deportment, that all must recog
nize as sad aberrations from the good old
ways in which grace and simplicity are wont
to go. I say nothing here of diction and
dress, lest, in animadverting upon such
things as sbuched-hats, fringed shawls, and
long, red, and foxy beards, I should for
get that there is no accounting for, nor dis
puting about, tastes.
I leave these, and pass to things more
pleasing. Of the eight times we have at
tended Synod, this, to us, was by far the
most delightful and devotional. There was
more prayer—more preaching of the right
kind—more Christian feeling—more humil
ity and brotherly kindness manifest among all
the members present, than we ever saw be
fore. On the Sabbath, the Lord's Supper
was administered to two or three hundred
communicants. It was a solemn time, and
good to be there. I wish I had room to
give the reader but a tithe of the great
truths that came from the Moderator's lips,
as he preached the "Action Sermon," from
the words of Jesus, " I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have
it more abundantly." It was clear, pointed,
rich, and Scriptural. It was food formula;
it fed mine. The same was true of nearly
all that was said by other ministers on this
solemn occasion. The sermon at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, on Sabbath, by the esteem
ed pastor of the Westminster church of
Cleveland, was an original, eloquent, and
powerful exposition of that wonderful pas
sage recorded in 2. °or. iii: 18 The ser
mon on " Missions," by Rev. M. C. Ander
son, was, indeed, a masterly effort, as orignal
in structure as it was peculiar in delivery.
It was listened to with marked attention.
We had a sermon on Friday night, by one
of the Professors of the Western Theological
Seminary, which riveted the attention of a
crowded audience. It was characteristic of
a preacher whom we love and venerate. 0,
if we had more such sermons, sinners would
flock to Christ!
Nor must we forget the singing, and at.
tendance of the congregation of Wooster.
The house, which is a large, neatly.finished,
and beautiful edifice, was thronged every
night, and at the delivery of every sermon.
There is an excellent choir and organ in the
church. But these only led. All seemed
to sing. Never before did I hear such vocal
music, except once, in old .Faneuil Hall,
Boston, when more than two thousand
voices rang out in unison. If there was
such singing in all our churches as we had
in Wooster, its effects would be highly salu
tary. No one in his senses could object to
u choir and instrument, of the kind they
have here. The most familiar and plainest
tunes imaginable, were selected, in which
all joined with ease. Once there was
a chaunt, before sermon. Short preludes
And intorlmioi, gave rest and variety to our
efforts in singing the praises of the Most
High. There was a simple grandeur about
it all, that we consider highly commendable.
It is not beyond the truth to say, that this
choir, in the church of Wooster, evinced
more good taste and gond sense, and made
more good music during the sittings of Sy
nod, than it has ever before been our priNi
lege to witness, on a similar occasion.
On Monday afternoon, the subject of
Slavery came before Synod, by a report from
the Committee of Bills and Overtures, and
was most pleasantly and harmoniously dis
posed of, in a few minutes, by a resolution
re affirming the Act of the General Assem
bly of 1818, on this subject, as fully expres
sing the views of Synod, touching the evils
of the system of Slavery. This action of the
highest Court of our Church, was regarded
by all as a finality; and that those who
would not be persuaded by it, that our great
and noble Church stands on anti slavery
grounds, would not be persuaded though one
arose from the dead to attest it, and much
less by any immature or hasty action of ours.
If we could judge anything of the animus
of the Synod when deliberating on this mat
ter, we can assure all, both North and
South, that our brethren do, to a man, depre
cate the agitation of this subject, both in
our Church Judicatories and Journals, as a
measure entirely unnecessary, impracticable
of good, and tending only to unprofitable
disputes, and reprehensible misunderstand
ing among brethren. Like, among ships,
the Great Eastern, that runs so deep in the
sea as to be below the waves that roll before
the disturbing winds—so let our Church be
among Churches, moving onward amid the
agitations around her, that have shaken to
pieces and engulfed other churches, and
making the port, with her valued cargo of
souls, without a sail rent or a mast sprung!
Having learned a lesson from the sad
wreck of Churches and Institutions about
us, and having seen the distorted counte
nances, and the awful sea sickness of out
brethren in their rocking ships, let us be
content with our full sails, calm seas, and
clear skies, feeling that Jesus, the Master
of both wind and wave, is with us. Yes,
and let us hold out, too, the hand of mercy
to every poor soul that may float to us, upon
even a splinter of the sinking wrecks around
us.
Our ministers, in the Northern Presbyte
ries of our Synod, are not Abolitionists—far
from it; although the outside pressure
about their churches does .trouble them a
little, so that is impossible for them to
keep as quiet as those of us do whose fields of
labor lie in more favored regions. They de
serve our sympathies and prayers, and not our
complaints. May God enable them to stand
firm, and sensibly rebuke every "agitator,"
whether in or out of our Church, that would
trouble them, either with pea or tongue.
But, Mr. Editor, I li,tve much more to
say about Wooster, its churches, schools,
and people; and also about the Synod of
Wheeling, which I have just attended. I
will therefore desist for the present, prom
ising to give all in another communication.

The Synod of Wisconsin.
This Synod met at Horicon,
on Thursday, Oct.
Bth. There was a very full attendance of the
members. The opening sermon was preached by
the last Moderator, Rev. R. Frame. Rev. Reuben
Smith was chosen Moderator, and Rev. Stuart
Mitchell Temporary Clerk.
The new Presbytery of Superior, established
by the last General Assembly, was received and
entered on the roll.
Another new Presbytery, to be called the Pres•
bytery of Chippewa, was organized from the
North-Western portion of the Presbytery of Win
nebago.
The church of Janesville, with its pastor, Rev.
Pd. W, Staples, was tranferred from the Presby
tery of Dane to that of Milwankie, and the church
of Springville from the Presbytery of Winnebago
to that of Dane.
The Anniial Report of the Board of Directors of
.the Theological Seminary of the North-West, was
received, and laid on the table.
Subsequently, a paper was adopted, placing the
Seminary under the entire control of the General
Assembly. Rev. J. M. Buchanan, Rev. R. M.
Robertson, and Rev. Reuben Smith, and Elders
W. P. Lynde, and E. W. Deney, were elected Di •
rectors for the ensuing year.
The paper of Dr. Mac Master, on the subject of
Slavery, was received and laid on the table, with
out discussion, and without any action.
The Report of the President and Fiscal Agent
of Carroll College, was received and approved,
and measures were taken to complete the endow
ment of the Institution as soon as possible. This
favorite educational enterprise of the Synod was
never in a more promising condition than at
present. It graduated its first clips at the Com.
mencement, in July last, and now has nearly a
hundred students in the Preparatory and College
classes. Mr. Edward P. Evans was unanimously
elected Professor of Languages, and Mr. Andrew
Watson, a graduate of the last class in the Col
lege, was appointed Tutor. The present Faculty
consists of the following:
Rev. John A. Savage, D. D., President, and
Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy.
Rev. W. J. Mbntieth, A.M., Vice President, and
Professor of Rhetoric and Belles Lettres.
Edward P. Evans, A. M., Professor of Lan
guages.
Sidney A. Bean, A. N., Professor of Mathe
matie,s;
C. B. Chapman, M. 8., Professor of Chemistry
and Physiology.
Edward Daniels, Professor of Geology, and Nat
ural History.
Andrew Watson, Tutor.
Any one acquainted with these men, will say,
without hesitation, that there is no abler Faculty
in any Presbyterian College in the West.
The Synod continued in session over the Sab
bath, and enjoyed a delightful communion season
with the Horicon church. A large amount of
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
Synodical business was transacted, with great
harmony and unanimity; and on the whole, it
was one of the pleasantest Synodical meetings it
has ever been the priviledge of the writer to at
tend. The next meeting will be at Portage City.

The Banks.
The Exchange Bank, in this city, the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' Bank, the Mechanics'
Bank, and the Citizens' Bank, have accepted the
Relief law.
The Ohio State Bank notes pass at par in Pitts
burgh, at our writing. Sound Banks in Kentucky,
and the Indiana State Banks pass as currency.
We can use such notes ; also all Eastern notes of
sound Banks, whether the notes he large or small.
The Pennsylvania Bank, at Philadelphia, is a
failure. Its liabilities are $2,400,000, and its re
sources $2,800,000; but of the latter $1,500,000
are doubtful or bad. The capital• is entirely
sunk.
The Philadelphia Bank has accepted the Relief
law; and the other city Banks are likely to follow
the example.
The new. Bank. at Coatsville, Pa., goes into op..
eration as a specie paying institution,
Baltimore.
This city has long been afflicted with lawless
ness, breaking forth in riots. The spirit of dis
order has been so violent on election occasione, as
to interfere with the freedom which is the proper
right of every citizen in the choice of officers.
An immense excitement has prevailed in anticipa
tion of the approaching election. The Governor
to preserve the peace, issued his proclamation,
and ordered out a large military force. The
Mayor resisted. Many of the officers declared
they would not obey the Governor. The Govern
or and Mayor are different in their politics. It
argues illy for the peace and purity of our coun
try when its executive officers are controlled in
their enforcement of the laws and in obedience
to their requirements, by. party political attach
ments. On this occasion the Governor has yield
ed and withdrawn his proclamation. The respon
sibility hence rests with the Mayor to protect the
rights of voters.
Elections.
PENNSTLVANIA.—Packer, the Democratic candi
date for Governor is elected by a majority of 42,-
748, over Wilmot. The Democrats carried the
Canal Commissioner and the Judges of the Su
preme Court, by about the same majorities. The
Amendments to the Constitution, four in number,
were adopted by votes varying from five to ten
for, to one against.
GEORGIA is Democratic as to Governor, both
branches of the Legislature, and Biz out of eight
of her Congressmen.
Mranzsore. --The reports are still conflicting,
with a bearing in favor of the Republicans.
TENNESSEL—Non. A. 0. P. Nicholson the edi
tor of the Washington Union, under President
Pierce's administration, has been elected United
States Senator to succeed Hon. John Bell, whose
term expires March 4, 1859.
Kansas.
The proclamation of Governor Walker and Sec
retary Stanton, settiug aside the illegal votes in
Oxford district, and declaring that commissions
should be given to those only who were legally
elected—a decision which would give the Free-
State men the majority in both branches .of the
Legislature—was hailed extensively with approba
tion. A report that the Cabinet at Washington
would interfere ie now contradicted. A dispatch
dated October 81, says:
It is now ascertained on specific inquiry that
the report which was last night prevalent in un-
usually reliable and well informed circles, of the
intention on the part of the administration to re
move Gov. Walker and Secretary Stanton, is with
out the least foundation, nor is there any reason
to believe that either intends to resign. The last
dates from either have only come down to the 10th
of October.
The Constitutional Convention met at Lecomp
ton on Monday the 18th, but there was no quo •
ruin present on that or the succeeding day; and as
the telegraph has since brought us no advices of
their doings except the fact that they were to
meet on the 30th, it is presumable that they ad
journed until that date, in consequence of the in
ability to procure a quorum.
Shortening Credits.
The iron dealers• of this city have agreed to re
duce their credit on sales to four months. This
is a good move.
Efforts are being made in the East for a gen
eral shortening of the credit system. Its reduc
tion to three months for raw material and on whole
sale business, and its total abandonment in the
retail business and for labor, would do much to
place the business of the country on a stable
foundation.
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has re
duced its floating debt to three-quarters of a
million, It has also reduced the salaries of its
employees at rates varying from 10 to 20 per cent.
It has resolved to make no dividend for the cur
rent half year. And in addition it has raised its
rates of fare.
Washington.
OCT. 80.—Attorney General Black has given
an opinion that the government of the United
States has ample power, and by the highest treaty
stipulations, is bound to redress the wrongs of
the Kansas Nation Indians, against unlawful in
truders upon their reserved lands.
The amount in the United States Treasury, sub
ject to draft is $9,802,000. The receipts for the
week Tiling Monday, were $441,000.
The Administration has acceded to Governor
Walker's request for the retention of the military
forces in Kansas all Winter, and orders will be
issued accordingly.
Capt. Van Visit, of the army, arrived here to
night, with information for the War Department
relative to the Mormon movements of resistance
to the United States troops.
The Administration continues the consideration
of the currency question as connected with the

Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative.
This Restorative for making, the hair grow,
stopping its falling out, and restoring gray hair
to its original color, is becoming celebrated. All
the quack nostrums are giving way before it.
Three fourths of the mixtures for restoring and
beautifying the hair, do it more injury than good.
They burn it up—destroy the life at its roots—
make the hair fall off, and produce premature
baldness. But Prof. Wood's Restorative may be
relied upon as containing nothing which can in
any manner be injurious to the hair, while its
success in accomplishing what it pretends to do,
has been verified in hundreds of cases. We ad
vise gray heads, and heads getting bald—all who
wish to save their wool or obtain a new stock, to
.get a bottle of Wood's Restorative.—New York

Weakness of the Stomach and Indigestion.
Another GreatVare effected by Borhave's Holland
B: te 8
The wife of Pieter Dc Witte, living in H olland
Town, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, suffered
much from Weakness of the Stomach and Indi
gestion. She had been under a physician's care
for some time, but the disease seemed to battle
eves his skill. She purchased some Holland Bit
ters at our office, which has given tone to her
stomach; her appetite and strength are returning,
and we firmly believe that this is another great
cure effected by your medicine.
We have still to record many wonderful cures
effected by this remedy, but must wait another
cpportunity. One thing you can rely upon, what .
we have published are from persons much re

The Persia, which reached New York on the 28th
nit., with Liverpool dates to the 17th, brought
£240,000, equal to $1,200,000 in specie.
A New York paper says.:
" We understand that the Persia brought over
a large amount of bills of exchange, or rather
certificates of deposit, accepted by the Bank of
England, Bank of Liverpool, and other well-known
banking institutions, for the purpose of buying
cotton and breadstufis in this country. These
acceptances can be more correctly called certifi
cates of deposit, being made payable at sight,
the money having been deposited in the different
banks on the other side to meet them, and they
answer nearly as well here for the purpose re
quired as so much gold. These bills are bold in
this market at 107a108 per oent., rates consid
erably above those ruling for ordinary long ex
change.
The amount of these certificates is about $l,-
000,000, and but for this new financial arrange
ment the Persia would have brought full $2,000,-
000 in gold.
The grain crop of Great Britain is good—larger
than usual, but still, not adequate to the coun
try's wants. The, average importation of bread
stuffs for six years, has been 88,163,280 bushels.
This amount would not be needed for the coming
year, wily that the potato crop is suffering
greatly by rot. The estimated want of grain. is
36,800,000 bushels. Of this amount 12,000,000
bushels is expected from the United States and
Canada. Last year there were 18,484,444 bushels
imported there from this country. Flour„at the
sailing of the Persia, was $7.44 in Liverpool.
India.
The Indian mails had reached England previous
ly to her departure, and the details of the news
proved more cheering than the telegraphic -dig
patches had led folks to anticipate. In the two
weeks covered by the mails, there had been no
event specially calamitous to the English. Troops
were arriving at Bombay and Calcutta, and being
forwarded to the scenes of the revolt. Lucknow
held out bravely. Gen. Outram was approaching
Cawnpore with a force which would enable Gen.
Havelock to march on Lucknow with strong hopes
of effecting its deliverance. Troops were being
concentrated on Delhi, and a heavy siege train
was advancing, so that a successful assault was
anticipated early in September. The people had,
as yet, shown but few and feeble symptoms of
siding with the rebel troops. Thus, taking all
together, hope brightens.
The English at home, however, are not relaxing
their efforts. They are enrolling large bodies of
militia—a very reliable arm, as there organized
and trained—for home defence, that regularly en
listed soldiers may be sent to the foreign service.
They have also sent orders to the Colonies to see
well to their defences. Be always ready, is a
good motto. It tends to prevent aggression, and
thus promotes peace and good will

The Russian naval division, destined for the

of three corvettes and three steam clippers. The
statements in regard to the extensive nature of
the fortifications which Russia is constructing at

A letter in the Prase of Vienna, says it is per

age removed to Mercer County. After the death
of her father, she became the adopted daughter
of Rev. Samuel Tait, in whose family she re
sided until her marriage. Her profession of re
ligion was made at an early age, and was sup
ported throughout life by an humble, earnest, and
consistent Christian walk. During the last years
of her life, she was the subject of much suffering,
but was sustained through all by a good hope,
and an unwavering trust in the Divine grace.
When called to go down into the dark valley, it
was without fear and without terror. Intense
physical suffering did not prevent her from the
enjoyment of God's gracious presence. Those
who witnessed the closing scene, could say, with
earnestness, " How blest the righteous when he
dies."
Mrs. Dodd lived with her husband thirty-six
years, whom she leaves behind, with numerous
children and grand-children, to sorrow at her
loss, and to rejoice at her good name, and tri
umphant faith, and 'victorious crown. *

/ OF OLOfrI INSTITUTE FOE YOUNG LADIES,
OANONSBUNG.
Emelt OP TIM Tamura :—Dear Sir—Those who are
isrents of daughters will regard with more favor whatever
tends toward the elevation of females, than we do that
which blesses our eons. Thus, though College Commence
ments occupy a large space in all our papers at theme mot
toes of the year when they occur, it le from a timetoo.nored
auetom, rather than because they are preareinent in our
'uncle. Hundreds of College anniversaries have been
held iu the came halle in some eases—bat it le only a short
time since any Female Seminary held its first examination.
What we , have we are apt to think have always been. and
was easy to obtain. It is not so. What thanks do we not
owe to those noble men and women, but especially women,
who have advanced the cause of Semale Education from
where It was to where it is—have raised it from the posi
tion which it held, to that which it holds.
I cannot restrain my wish, teerefore,to do honor, through
your journal, to whom honor is due, and publicly express
my thanks for the pleasure I enjoyed during the Anniver
sary Exercises of the ()tome Institute at Canonsburg. I
have been present at many Buch—le one sense ench—and
but few have been as eatisfitetory. The reputation of being
one among the few best Seminaries, not only in this part of
the State, but in the Untied States, is surely fine to the
Olome, and the County may well be proud of it. Mrs.
French has not labored in vain; and if her name be not
emblazoned on the page of history as one of its heroines, a
far more desirable "crown of rejoicing" shall be her re
ward hereafter; and if her coffers shall not be filled with
the spoils of nations it may be a far higher boast for her
to take by the hand such young ladies as we saw the other
day, and with true pride say, these are my ' , jewels."
.The first day was spent in the examination of classes.
It was not a farce, but showed the truth, which there could
be no wish to keep back. The girls had not only been
taught, but educated; they not only knew, but amino
elated. The second day was occupied In the forenoon by
reports end cempositions. A very practical address was
given' by Dr. Lambert, of New Fork.. The topic was the
"Absolute and Comparative value of Female Education."
If every parent could have heard the various arguments and
illustrarions advanced, the next generation Would see very
few females uneducated, for he proved conclusively that
education will "pay," especially in the case of !amides.
Al/ the exercises were interspersed with music.
In the afternoon came the Concert. or we came to it.
And if the Belida were satisfactory and gratifying, the des
Bert was no less pleasing and delightful., And so thought
the world ; for though " a quarter" was . required, for ad
mission, the room was just as full as before. Most of the
entertainment was executed by the pupils, and such muds
as they made showed that they had had masterly training.
Some teachers can execute very lineally themselves. bat
they have not the skill to teach their pupils to be skillful.
It is very seldom that scholars evhibit such skill In their
teaching, as those did on Wed,' ?edgy P. Bi. This I. what
parents want, viz.: not only to have the teacher know and
do, but possess the skill to teach the scholar to know and
do. The difference between persons in this respect is
greater than is usually noticed. Indeed to know, and
to be able to do, is not to teach. It is a misnomer
to call by the name of teachers most who occupy
the post of teachers' and professors. They may be
eminent men, but their pupils will never be. If a man is
a very indifferent performer, yet teaches his pupils to per
form admirably, the parent has his reward; but what use
for a scholar to be always boasting of whom he took.lessons,
and never showing it. Mr. Fisher showed by a few pieces
be played, that he had had good teaching, and his pupils
did their teacher all the credit he could wish, or their par
ents ask.
The experiment of having a master in music, first tried
in this vicinity, by Mrs. French, has proven more than suc
cessful, and her example will doubtless be followed by oth
ers. Indeed, it is to be hoped that " excelsior" will still be
inscribed on the banner of • the "Olome," and every other
institution for the advancement of Female „Education, and
that a generous spirit of emulation, and a reasonable com•
petition, and a proper &airs to secure the public patron
age, will more and more keep toward perfection the great
est and best of causes. Let parents, also commend every
step taken in advance, arid by all reasonable exhibition of
their commendation and esteem, help forward the day when
every daughter shall be a polished corner atone in the
household of her father, and every son the gallant stay of
of bis mother. no7-It*
