Da McKINNEY:--R'ee and Dear Sir —Permit me to occupy alittle space in your paper, to speak of the wonderful tv , rhs of God is the little church of Springhill, Fay ette County, Pa. It has , pleased ,him, to visit it with the gracious outpouring of his Holy Spirit. The meetings were cautioned about a week, with, increasing interest Twelve precious souls were added to that church oo profession of their faith in Chris.t; several others expect to unite with other branches of the Ohurch; and many are still earnestly infiuiring the way to Christ. One t'act, in connexion with this church seems to be worthy of special notice. They have been deprived for five .or six years of the stated ministrations of the Gaspel istry, and have been dependenrupoi2 the occasional supplies sea by Presbytery; yet during all this time they have kept up regn hr Ina; emeetings, assembling twice on the Sabbath and once curing the week, and, this, too, amid the greatest ditcourageasents Their membership, never large, had 'beisame. tuucb 'weakened by emigration; still, that litthi 'band, often having but teed or three to take pot in the public services, continued meetlogsther for grayer, And God has, heard Ittlflikydrabil ifoirted Asir blessing upon them, just when their hearts *ere ready to faint. What encouragement is this for continued prayer? What an encouragement for other churches, in similar eireumstanceq, to go and do likewise I And what an indueMzent for the ministers of Christ to go and labor in the destitute churches of our land and to reap the harvests which are whitening for the reaper Do not ministers too often neglect their little ones? is there not too much reluctance to go and break to them the bread of eternal life ? H. W. B. Western Correspondence. . Da. hiclltswevr—The binding of the Pilgrims W5B celebrated in Chicago, by a festival, on the evening of the 22d of December. Conoiderable taste was displayed, as we learn, by New England ers, in decorating the ball with devices and me. morials.-calculated to recall the early scenes in which the Pilgrim fathers participated. The seals of the six New England. States were con epic:muss, garnished with strings of dried apples, festoons of. red peppers, pumpkins, orookm eked Knishes, &a. Pictures of the" Village Ohritch," the " Town Hall," and the old " Red School House," adorned the walls, and a repreeentative or the " old Queen's arms," with the more peace ful articles of household furniture and farming implements, everywhere met the eye of the.;;be; bolder. The tables were covered with charac cried() (Sebes, among 'which, of course, was ,prom ;tent the' omni present pumpion; which to, the w Englander Is what macaroni is to the Italian', potato to the. Irish, hominy to the Negro, or frog soup to the Frenchman. It lett national edible, and worthy to be adopted as the centre piece of a new coat of arms, • ' ' After supper, various sentiments ,were offered, and various speeches made in response, some of which are described as sprightly and entertaining end some as dry as the apples upon the strings. There was finite a general laudation , of New Eng land, a .very unanimous heeteriment of praise upon, and expression of attichment to Congrega tionalism, and considerable boast of the posses sion of all the liberty, religious or otherwise, worth possessing. It is, however, somewhat remarkable that amid all this there was no one to speak directly of the Pilgrim fathers, 'whose 'landing wee commemorated. Rather a remark able omission this. Without it the whole ,enter tainment was like the 'play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet omitted ; or the:commemoration of the battie of New Orleans and New Orleans and the hero , of the day utterly igoored. One thing, however, "was 'done thonolghly. A. charge, it seent. , , has been very generi s illy brought, both East and Wept, against .Western Congrega tionalists that the type of their religion changes .materially on their emigration.. This charge was Met by almost every speaker, _and with ankh warmth and feeling, repelled': It' as claimed by all that they were tine to, their irineiples, and carried those principles with them wherever they The meeting adjourned at a late hour. ! inch good feeling prevailed, and whatever hilarity Wan dieplayed, must be attributed to other causes then the, presence of .ardent spirits-none whatever MLR allowed ' ' We do not claire to knew whether gongrega tionalists West .agren with Congregationaliits • East; but we 'do know :that, when a. boy, the shorter Catechism was universally taught through out New Eoglsud, and, We had it, mainly in 'a little tract called the " New England Printer." Now We have in this region, at least, no "New England Primers," and,:With a very-- few ' excep ' 'tions know of no Congregatidnal families or,Sab bath Schools in which the Catechism ` is taught And this is not accident, nor negligence ; his be:. cause there are 'in the Catechist& doctrines , not, believed by modern , Congregationalists. There are, however, ,exceptions. Many, both ministers and meMbers iu Congregational chirches,„.stilir heartily embrace. the thrtrines of the:Saybrook platform, and who, as a consequenae, would re'.' joist) to see the 'Catechism universally adopted and taught. It is only .a short time ago' that a` , pastor of a Congregational church in Illinoia, ap plied to 'the writer tor Catechisms, having a desire to introduce them into the Sabbath School con. .nected with. his church; aid they were so intro duced. But, so far as known, this is au isolated and exceptional case in this region. We shall I hope to see the day when both East arid West .1 there will be a hearty : return, to the principles ,of the Pilgrim fathers as embodied in that oompend of religions truth t• the Shorter Catechism R. S Crampton, the very able Secretary of the Illinois State Temperance Society,• states that from reliable statistics be , learne that, there'are at, the present time, in this State, not Leta than forty thousand, habitual or occasional drunkards; four. • thousand of whom are annually deposited in. that synonym of lowest degradation, a drunkard's' grave. Mr.' C. informs ',Us that *this alarming state of things is to be, attributed in a great ineas ure to the adulterated , and poisoned liquors now so, generally sold. It is, therefore, his intention to lay before the community ere long. a mass of facts, designed to make theta more thoroughly acquaint ed with the dreadful wickedness of the liquor traffic than they have hitherto been. We triiist this expose will.not fail of its otject ; but that men will have their eyes opened to see the . frauds to which they are subjected, and be led to place the broad seal of their disapprobation upon this rnost nefarious business_ • , 4 ,-. The United Presbyterian of the West, in its issue , of the 30th ' December, reviews our remarks in the Banner, made a few weeks since upon the question of communion. The editorsays: "North. West seems todeny that the particular circumstances under which we are placed, can ever make it necessary to adopt any regulatione to govern the application of Bible doctrine." • .• .‘• North. West" simply expressed his' inability , to see how expediency could set aside altogether and render, absolutely nugatory teduty which God bad rendered " incumbent " upon the ChriatianChuroh. We'gladly adopt Dr. Mikedid's explanation of the language of' the Confession of Faith; but think that what he calls the regulating of a deo. trine in its application, is a palpable setting of it aside altogether. Loa alit. "Saints by profes sion are bound to maintain a holy fellowship, and profession among themselves." Thie, says the . Doctor -" is their incumbent `duty;"! God has made it a " moral obligation .to thTm.' " Bot,"' may our Associate Refer med brethrer , • this pria, 7 ciple must be regulated in its application; and we regulate it by never applying the principliffat',alli, except' the 'violation under the circumstances; would be an 'outriigeons impropriety." Now we , thlnk the Old School Prestiytelian Church really " regulates" this matter in its application. We ' Ist, like Dr. Macdill, admit the priniciple, and acknowledge its binding force • and we then :id' say to all who are in good end regular etauding in Evangelical churches, that they may participate with us in this "holy fellowship and communion." If there is in the matter any "moral obligation," WP are bound; by it, as we• think, to make this offer. .I..cheerfully admit that the application of this principle may.and does require to be regulated. I would not invite to the table of the-Lord all`who may claim to be saints, but would 'confine that in-, vitation to those who are walking prderry in con nexion with an Evangelical thiurch- , a Church of Christ These era without queatiun, the ' , saints by Profossion to 'Whom we' are hound to extend the privilege of Communion. But to " regurale,", , as do our 'Assoniate Reformed friends, is, in, our opinien, to, destroy, to array ourselves in direct antagonism to, and to override and crush the principle. ' The ReV. A. Nisbit, a popular preacher, for merly connexion• with the 'Associate, but lat terly- of , the Associate Reformed,Churoh, and located'at'Chinsgo, bas withdrawn, with• a major ley of his congregation, .from the Church, and occupies, as we should judge, at present, dependenFPotlition. The reason,.,fer this ste p i s not stated in the'Presbyterial action which, it on. °taloned, but we should judge it to ba.diiiincliv nation to enter the union lately consummated, by , our Associate and Assimilate Reformed brethren. I The following, among other resolutions, was adopted by the Presbytery from which, Mr., N. has withdrawn: "Resolved, That any paper which Mr. Nisbit• maylold or use as an equivalent to a cirtificate, of good ministerial standing, would not have been given till the proper examination shpuld, 'bare beetiltd, it facts which have; since some to the knowledge' of this Presbytery had been• previoui ly known." From this, it 'Would appear ,that there is yet something undeveloped. Dr. Bice bee -issued the first number of the Preabyierian Expositor. It is a neat paiilphlevof fifty six moil, 'prepared with an eye - to ecelltdY. The first article is upon the greatest and most itn 7 portant of all subjects.." The , Great discussed with the .

When told that in all probability death was near, she calmly heard i o r r" the announcement, and expressed her willingness P RESBYTFRIAN to go. Her last words were, "I am coming." By this bereaving disposition, in God's provi dence, many hearts have been filled with satioeQr. A young husband feels lonely in this world now, since.the wife, the object of his most tender care, has been so soon and so suddenly taken away. A little babe, unconscious of its loos, io left with out the common heritage. But the God that called the mother can watch over the child.

Three years after, in the same month, (Ootober,) her former bereavetnent was brought to her mind afresh, as she laid down by the'side of 'her husband and their father three of her children,- two sons and one daughter. Five years. after, she buried another daughter, and 'still three years later (1849) another son, ' which, with her el.dast daughter, buried in 1816, made the seventh child, recollections of whose death viitbtthat of their father, gave to the last years 'of ber life tt‘ sadness, whose subdued ,ixpression appeared her every= movement.
