" Since we bare beard of this good news,
(of the Revival in Ameriea,) a little band
of us have promised to meet each other
at the throne of grace, at 12 M., daily, and en•
treat for a blessing upon ourselves find India.
The native Christians at Saharanpur have
joined us in this, and they sewn to feel much
interest in the good news from America.
Our native Christian women are different
people since the - mutiny. Besides the little
weekly prayer-meeting they have with me,
they, of their own accord, established one
among themselves, and I have good evidence
that some of them pray 'daily with their
children, in the closet. I have taken them
with me several times into the villages, to
see the heathen women, and they seem de
lighted." A letter from another Station,
Lodiana, says: "During this week we have
had a daily prayer•meeting. in Urdu, (the
native language,) for the outpouring of the
Spirit on our little church, and on this hea
then city. We do indeed need a reviving

Letters also state that there have been bap
tisms at Lahore, Lodiana, Ambale, Saharan
pur, Debra, and Futtehgurh, more than in
any year before, or perhaps, in any one pe
riod of several years. Even at Futtehgurh,
whose name has been made known and
sacred by its martyred. missionaries and na
tive Christians, eighteen or twenty inquirers
are reported, in addition to those baptized.
The niece of the arch-rebel, the King of
Delhi, has been baptized, recently. A work
of grace has commenced in a village near

and the whole village has become Christian
Letters from Ambala speak of a good state
of feeling; inquirers are multiplying there,
and at many of the Stations. Is not this

seems to be passing over the valley of dry
bones in India. Let the Church at home
awake, to pray and labor in earnest. Let
the daily prayer•meetings make mention of
poor India at a throne of grace. Let young
men arise and go out to fill the vacancies of
those who have fallen. England soon filled
up the vacancies of soldiers and officers who
fell in massacre, and battle, and sickness,
and more than supplied their places by send

the rebellion, but as yet, the Presbyterian
Church in America has sent out only one

Dedication at Bloomsbury, N. J.
A. new and beautiful church edifice, was
dedicated to the worship of the God of the
everlasting covenant, on Thursday, October
14th, at Bloomsbury, New Jersey. The
dedicatory prayer was offered, and the dedi-.
cation sermon preached, by the Rev. D. X.
Junkin, D.. 0., of Hollidaysburg, Pa. The
Scriptures were read by the Rev. Mr. Plit,
of the Lutheran Church, and the psalm-.
Ay and prayers conducted by the Rev. J.
A. Bailey, of Blairstown, the Rev. G-.
Bush, of Stewarteville, and the Rev. W. E.
Westervelt, pastor of the church.
The Rev. Nicholas Murray, D.D., (Kir
wan,) preached in the evening, one of his
very interesting and instructive discourses,
The attendance was large, the aspect of the
crowded congregations solemn, and the en
tire services of the day impressive. Public
worship and preaching was continued twice
a day until Sabbath, when the Lord's Sup •
per was administered. In these eervicee,
the young pastor was assisted by his brather,
the Rev. S. D. Westervelt, of the State of
New York, by Mr. Bush, and by Dr. Jun
kin. The latter gentleman was formerly,
and for seventeen years, pastor of the eon•
gregation of Greenwich, of which the
church of Bloomsbury is a colony; and
this re-union for a week seemed to be
alike delightful to him and to the affection
ate people to whom he so long ministered,
and between whom and him there seems
still to subsist a more than usual Christian
affection.
This new enterprise appears to be very
promising. Organized last Fall with only
forty-four members in communion, they now
number nearly, or quite seventy, with a
very encouraging attendance of those who
are not yet professors. Brother Westervelt
entered upon his labors in April, and has
great encouragement, and the prospect of
large usefulness. The church is self sus.
taining. Their edifice in very handsome
and complete in its appointments—of Gre
cian style, with neat spire, and a sweet and
far-sounding bell, and an organ of fine tone
and sufficient power. The cost of the entire
property was seven thousand dollars, which
this little flock have chiefly borne them•
selves; and although there was a debt of
some nine hundred dollars, they will soon
extinguish it. As the dedication sermon
has been requested for publication,. it has
not been characterized in this notice.
FRATEIL
For the Presbyterian Banner and advocate
The United Presbyterian Convention at
Canonsburg.
DR. MOKINNEY :—lf your readers should
be half as much interested in perusing a
short sketch of the proceedings of this Con
vention as the writer was in attending, then,
they will think the space in your columns
well occupied.
The Convention was one of a series which
has continued to be held in different places,
at intervals, ever since the memorable one
at Xenia, which was so signally blessed with
the presence of the Holy Spirit, and which
contributed, more than any thing else, to,
bring about the consummation of the long
sought union of the two bodies, when they
met at Pittsburgh last Spring.
The meeting was held in the Rev. W. H.
Andrew's church, commencing on Tuesday,
October 26th, at 10 o'clock A. M., and
closing on Wednesday, at noon; an evening
session having been held in the school room
of the Olome Institute, in Canonsburg.
The sessions were held in the presence of a
crowded and deeply interested congregation.
Among the ministers present, were, the
Rev. Messrs. Taggart, Peacock, Clark, An
-drew, Boyd, Hutohinson, Thompson, Brown
lee, Huston, Lowman, and Wilson, of the
United Presbyterian body, with Drs. Smith
and Williams, of Jefferson College; these
latter taking part, by invitation, in the exer
cises of the Convention.
The topics of discussion were exclusively
those pertaining to a revival of religion--
such as, the nature and evidences, the
necessity, the hinderanoes, the encourage
ments, the means, &c., of a, true revival.
These topics were extensively discussed
by various speakers, in brief and point.
ed 'addresses; frequent and fervent de
votional exercises intervening. There was
a warmth and earnestness in the tone of the
addresses, that was truly refreshing; and
the entire unanimity in sentiment and feel
ing which prevailed among the speakers,
afforded gratifying evidenie that brethren of
different denominations could "Bee, eye to
eye," on these subjects at least.
I attempt no report of the trains of thought
presented in the several addresses. It is
enough to say that they were identical, in
sentiment and spirit, with those uttered in
our own great Convention in Pittsburgh,
last Fall. The force and pungency of the
appeals made to the consciences of ministers
and private Christians, and the agonizing
earnestness of the prayers for the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit, were precisely such as
characterized that memorable Convention.
The people, too, seemed to sympathize with
their ministers in these things ; as was
manifest in the prayers offered by lay-mem
bers, and in the tears of many in the con
gregation.
Truly, if these brethren have been in any
degree chargeable, in time past, with any
excessive attachment to a dead orthodoxy,
that time is gone. Their orthodoxy is now on
fire; and yet their zeal is "according to
knowledge," and therefore not likely to
degenerate into enthusiasm. It is also
chastened by the spirit of brotherly love
which has grown out of their union. Indeed,
to one acquainted with the antecedents of
these now united denominations, -the pres
ent state of things must afford satisfactory
evidence that a revival of religion, of the
most healthful kind, is already in progress
among them. In this, all Christians must
rejoice.
I have no objections to offer to the views
addressed to these brethren by your corres•
pondent, " Cyprian ;" still I may be allowed
to express the opinion that we had better let
them alone, in regard to all points of differ
ence between them and us. And if, in any
thing, they are still in error, the Spirit of
the Lord, who is teaching them, "will show
even this unto them." I know that I should
differ materially, on some points, from the
good brethren whom I met in this Conven
tion ; but nothing of this sort was even
alluded to. Not a discordant note was
struck.
A truce, then, to all controversy between
us in regard to Psalmody, Communion,
Slavery, &o. bet us work and pray together,
upon the broad, common ground on which
we are agreed; and wherein we may differ,
let ns differ amicably; not assuming infalli
bility for ourselves, but being willing to
learn from them, as well as to have them learn
from us. Thus we shall, gradually and
imperceptibly, grow into all the harmony
which it is desirable should exist between us.
The Convention adjourned, to meet in
Washington on the second Tuesday of Jan
uary next. We shall hope to hear more of
them through some of our brethren there,
who may join them in their exercises. •
Yours, truly, W.
Ecclesiastical.

Per the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate
Overture to the General Assembly.
The Synod of Philadelphia .respectfully
overture the General Assembly to the fol
lowing effect, viz.:
That the Presbyteries of the Church be
allowed an opportunity of expressing their
sentiments on the question of striking out
that portion of Chap. XXIV., Sec. IV., of
the Confession of Faith, which forbids the
marriage of a man with the sister of
,his
deceased wife.
The Synod are solicitous that the ground
upon which they propose this Overture,
should be distinctly understood.
They are far from assuming that the
clause of the Confession of Faith referred
to, may not have a valid Scripture warrant.
On this point, they express no opinion. But
the fact is indisputable, that a very large
number of the ministers, Ruling Elders,
and intelligent laity of our Church, have
not been able to find adequate authority for
it in the, Word of God. The state of the
ease, in the view of the Synod, is substan
tially this
The ministry and members of our Church
—certainly the ministry, if it be preferable
to confine the argument to them—have, as a
body, no hereditary bias, and none from
education or association, against the provi
sion of the Confession in question. They
have a common desire to know whether it
rests upon the authority of Scripture, and a
common willingness to adopt it, should such
authority be produced. And yet, with the
same attachment to Presbyterianism, the
the same average scholarship, and the same
opportunities of investigation, they Arrive
at opposite conclusions—one.third, one-half,
or,' as may be, two thirds of our ministers,
declaring themselves as in doubt whether
the prohibition has any Divine sanction, and
the remainder affirming that it is clearly
taught in the Bible.
The Synod submit, that no doctrine or
prescription ought to be retained in our
Confession, the Scriptural warrant for which
is shrouded in such uncertainty. However
clear the warrant for it may appear to cer
tain minds, we deem it neither wise nor just,
that what the experience of our own Church
has shown-to be of such equivocal authority,
in the judgment of many of the ablest and
best men of our connexion, should be re
tained as an essential part of our Standards,
and made obligatory upon all who accept
them.
The Synod of Philadelphia has generally
viewed with distrust, proposals for altering
our Confession of Faith. But on the sub
ject herein presented, and on this subject
only, our Church is undeniably divided.
And the Synod are deliberately of the opin
ion, that the clause in reaped to whloh, this
diverdty of sentiment exists, ought to be

There has been no change of importance shim our last.
The 'market for grain° is active,; but the flour market is
drooping. There Is ehange in money, matters.
We are yet without the usual Fall rise in the rivers.

Spring are more favorable, but this is too far , in the future
to induce speculative movements now."

I take pleasure in recommending your System
of Book-keeping. After a fair trial of a number
of others which failed in accomplishing what we
desired in teaching, we have tried , yours and find
its instruction more comprehensive and thorough.
Our students like it on account of the numerous
explanations you have inserted with every diffi
culty. We have thrown all other systems out of
our College and use yours exclusively.

Late arrivals bring very little intelligence of an

The markets for American produce, in Eng

At a late banquet at Galway, Ireland, in honor
of the steamer line thence to New Foundland
and the United States. Mr. Roebuck is re
ported to have ntterd the followingsentiment on
the relations between England and America:
64 It appears to me that a great deal has to be
learnt yet by America with regard to England ;
and I believe there are now present American gen-
tlemen to whom I may address myself as persons
connected with the Press of that country, and
through whom we may speak to the people of the
New World. Sir, it appears to me that America
does not know the. position which England holds.
She, happily for herself, is beyond the vortex of
European politics; , she is' safe in her position.
We are now upon the very verge of the crater;
the volcaitois burning beneath us ; and it is only
the magnanimous feeling'of English hearts that
maintains us in our position in Europe. Of that;
America knows nothing, and, everything which
brings us in more immediate communication with
America, teaches her our position, 'and teaches
her her own position with respect to England.
Sir, believe it, England stands, in spite of Amer.
ican desire, at the head of the civilization of the
world. I care not in what society I say it, but
the liberty of mankind depends upon England.
Therefore, sir, our cousins, as they are Called,
but I shall more pioperly denominate them our
children ' in America have to know that the world
is to be benefited throughi England; the liberty
of mankind is to be maintained by her; and if
they wish well to mankind, they ought to keep
friends with. England. Every manifestation of
; I care not whence ` thee feeling comes ;
every manifestation of through the Press
of America, is a disgrace to America herself; and
not to us mho are the objects of it. Sir, I believe
that this route which brings us in immediate corn
munication with America will do good to man
kind, by making her underetand our position."

The London news complains of the part Played
by the American Minister, in the.recent negotia•

as the Allies did.
An important treaty had been concluded with
the Japanese government, by Mr.. Ilarpis, the
United States Consul at Jeddo, Anew port lying
in the Port of Jeddo, five miles from that city, is
to be opened to , the Americans. A son of Capt.
Tanen had left for Washington via China, with

prince . , with fourteen attendants, was to depart
immediately for Washington, via California.

Letter from New York.
NEW YORK, October, 1868.
Mu. Enrron.:—New York, whieh for a time has
been so deserted, is now rapidly regaining its ac
customed brilliancy, and one meets familiar faues
again on Broadway.
In August and September the streets were
crowded with Southerners, and people from the
West A New Yorker can easily tell a stranger,
and the Southerner is readily distinguished from
the New Englander, or the Western man.
Many fair faces and" noble fornislave we seen
from every part of the Union.
The bookstores and jewelry establishments re
,
ceived their due share of attention. Stewart had
no reason to complain of want of patronage.
Neither were Sewing Machines neglected. It
seems to be well understood now, thatthe Sewing
Machine is one of the most valuable inventions,
we have had for a long time. It brings such
grateful relief to woman, such blessed exemption
from crushing care and labor. To ladies in mod
erate circumstances, who cannot afford a seam
stress, the family sewing is an almost intolerable
burden—it is never done. The beat years of her
life are consumed in wearing, wasting toil, with
nothing to show as the result. That the family
sewing for the. Winter, could be done in a few
weeks, would seem like a dream of enchantment.
Yet it is no fiction, but a 44 joyful reality." There
are several kinds of Sewing'. Machines, but
Wheeler & Wilson's, and Grover & Baker's, take
the lead—both are ,undeniably goad, but the
Grover 4 Baker seems to excel in strength and
durability.;. The stitch is firm, and elastic, and if
every third stitch be cut, the seam will, not ravel,.
Yet by taking each thread at the end where the
seam is finished one can rip yards in a -.few min
utes. The thread needs, no, re-spooling as in other
Machines, and each stitch fastens itself. It is a
priceless treasure, and one wonders after having
had one for a few weeks, how anything was ever
accomplished without it.
There should be one in every family. What
could be a more valuable, or welcome Christmas

morning, October 19th, Major Joix, C. littas,
aged 35 years.
Mr. Inner was a member and a deacon of the
First Presbyterian church of Hollidaysburg, and
was a very exemplary, useful, working Christian.
He was one of the most correct and efficient
business men in the community in which he
lived; whether of the businees of secular life, or
the business of the Lord. A very valuable Man,
both in society and in the Church of God. 'Cut
down in the midst of his usefulness, his loss is
severely felt. But if fit to live, he was by the
same grace fit to die ; and his end was, peace. It
is not yet two years since, by a death of singular
beauty and glory, his wife passed to the rest of
the saints; and now he lute follotied, leaving their
two sweet little' girls, g , whole orphans." But
God is their father and their friend. To each of
his friends and acquaintances, let this providence
~,
say, Prepare to meet thy God !" PASTOR.
Dutto.--In Fairfield, lowa, September 80th,
1858, Mrs. JAles Fan, in the 90th year of her age.
The deceased was the widow of Col. John Fee,
who served 10the Revolution, and who died in
1845, aged *ears. For his services, his widow
received a pension from the State of Pennsylva
nia. Mrs. Fee was born February 19, 1789,, in
Huntingdon County, Pa., •where she resided tuatil
March, 1857, when she came to Fairfield. Her
maiden name was Jackson. Her parents were
each in timir ninetieth year when they died.
Two of her eons served in the, war of 1812, only
one of whom survives, Mr. George Fee, of .this
county. She leaves grand•children,s,nd great
grand.children in this State, and one , grandson
Huntingdon. A surviving sister Ries in Pitts
burgh, Pa., Mrs. Prudence Keller. Mis. Fee re
tamed her, wonted viior until about two months
, previous to her death. She was cheerful, indus
trious, and fond of reading ; and died in posies
don of her. mental faculties ; and in view of
death, (for which she,was prepared,) was resigned
and cheerful, : She was a member, of the Presby
terian Church for, half a century., Mrs : Foe re
sided in Huntingdon County when the :Indians
were more nnmenins than the whites, and, bore
her share in the perils and privy ions of that
early period:.

Mrs. EIGIZABRITE Fonags, wife of Mr.".Tas. Forbes,
aged 55 years.
She professed religion at New Hageretown,
in 1824. She lost her health in 1852. In 1853,
she rejoiced in the profession of religion. ade by
her husband. April, 1858, she removed, wits
her family, to New Philadelphia, and lingere4 on,
with great patience, until the appointed hour,
and departed in the full posseision of all her
faculties, and in the lively prospect of a glorious
immortality, tiltough Jesus Christ. Of her it
might be said, emphatically, that she Inoked well
to the ways of her household, and ate not the
bread of idleness. Her childrenarise up '
and call
her blessed; _ her husband also, and he Praise%
her. She stretched out her hind to the poor and
needy. She, did not forget to entertain strangers-
She was given to hospitality. Her house was
like that of Gains. She did faithfully whatsoever
she did to the brethren and to strangers, (of
all denominations,) -
. helping them forward in their
journey after a godly sort. Especially did she
anticipate the wants of her own rainister, and
thoie of his family. She was ready to sympa
thize with them in every sorrow, and lend a help
ing hand in every , sickness. She seemed,, well to
;understand the effect of empty seats in tie church
or prayer meeting, upon the minister's heart, and
so she would contrive always te ./taite her family
represented. She made leiter business to invite
others to go to the sanctuary. She would often
ride miles into the country, when the afternoon
service would be in the sehool-house, that'the
country people might be induced to come the more
cheerfelly to the church. R.B.
