For the Presbyterlen Banner and Advocate
Memorial of 020 Martyred Missionaries.
MR. EDITOR !—You have already no
ticed, very favorably, this very important
work. You will, however, permit a friend
of the departed, and one who feels a deep
interest in the cause of Missions, to add a
few words.
This ii's work which cannot fail to at,
tract the attention and interest the feelings
of the friends of Christ of every Christian
name, but especially of those belonging to
the Presbyterian Church in the United
States. Who, of all the two hundred and
sixty thousand members of the Presbyterian
Mulah, have not felt their hearts moved at
bearing the recital' of the sufferings and
death of our 6g martyred missionaries." In
the volume before us, we ,have a succinct,
but comprehensive, account of the origin
and progress of the missionary work at
Futtehgurh, a place rendered famous as the
theatre of the labors of our murdered dead.
In this part of his work, the author has
given us much valuable information respect.
ing the population, sects, and habits of .the
natives, and also of the means and agencies
put into operation by the missionaries, and
their successful results. The biOgraphical
sketch of his highness, Naha Rajah Duleep
Singh, the first native Christian prince of
India, forms a most• interesting chapter of
the work. And what will doubtless most
deeply affect every Christian heart, is the
well-written memoir of each 'of the martyred
missionaries, male and 'female, and the affec
tionate tribute paid to them severally by
those who knew them best. These sketches
are, of absorbing interest, as exhibiting a .
degree of moral heroism, in the midst of
appalling dangers and the prospect of a cruel
death, which nothing but Christian principle
could inspire. Connected with each of
these memoirs, is a handsomely engraved
• likeness'of the missionary. The work is got
up in good style, and, it is hoped, will find
its way into every Christian family belong
ing to the Presbyterian Church. It will be
found at the Presbyterian Book Rooms,St_
Clair Street, Pittsburgh. D..
For the Presbyterian Banner and Ldvocate.
Church at Nebraska City, N. T.'
The church at this plioe was organized a
little more than three years ago, and about
one year and a half after the country was
open to white settlers. Fifteen persons
united in. the organization. Our numbers
have steadily increased, and we now have
fifty members. There .are three or four
others recently settled among us, who will
connect at the first opportunity. In 'the
same period, the population of the town has
increased from one hundrnd and fifty to
three thousand.
For one year we labored under many disad
vantages. No convenient> place of worship
could be procured. All felt the necessity of
erecting a house of worship. Indeed it
seemed impossible to keep our flock to
gether, so uncomfortable and contracted
were our places of worship. In view,
therefore, of the increasing demand for
church accommodation, a building was corn
named in the Fall of ; but owing to
the high price and scarcity of labor and
building material, no more than the founda•
tion was laid, until the next Autumn. At
this time, the building was again ,com.
menced,, with a fair prospect of being speed
ily completed, and paid for; all our plans
and hopes of success being based upon sub
scriptions and pledges of our citizens, and a
donation from the Church Extension .Oom
mittee.
For a time we were able. to meet all our
expenditures, subscribers paying , whenever
called upon. Times, however, changed be
fore the house was enclosed, and subscribers
could not pay; and, in order to secure our
building from damage s by being in an unfin
ished condition, it was necessary to borrow
funds. A part of these were borrowed by
the Trustees, and a part by myself, for
which I mortgaged my homestead. We
hoped that during the. Winter, times would
be better, and money more abundant. Bat
our hopes were not realized. Several
Banks failed, most of our citizens lost
money, and times grew worse. Our ored
itors became impatient, and commenced
litigation. Two suits were instituted against
myself, and the mortgages against my
property are liable to be closed any day, and
my family deprived of a home. In several
oases the private property of the Trustees is
threatened to be levied upon. This they
cannot afford to give up, and in the end
will be compelled to turn out the property of
the church. This they will not do, as long
as , there is any hope of relief. There are
no encumbrances on the church property,
the Trustees becoming security. Now, what
will be done? Will our Church abroad
suffer this effort to plant a church on our
frontier, to fail, and our cause to go back
ward in. that , region ? You, dear brethren,
eet in your comfortable places of worship,
and enjoy communion with God in the sanc
tuary; but think of us, who have toiled bard
to obtain the Same great privilege; and just
GS we are about to enter upon its enjoyment,
it is to be taken from us. Will you not lend
a helping hand ?
Our building is a plain and substantial
one. It is of brick'; its dimensions are,
thirty.eight by sixty feet. There is a debt
of about 0,000 pressing upon us, and must
be met between this and the first of .March.
If times had remained as they were when
our building was projected, no aid from
abroad would have been asked. The hard
times were unforeseen by us, hence we are
unavoidably involved; business was then
brisk; it is now prostrate. In time it will
revive; but before this comes to pass, many
individuals will boluined in their business,
and unless oar church receives aid, we must
share the same fate.
The encouragements to help this church
are its future prospects. It is in one of the
largest and most flourishing towns in the
Territory, which town, from - its geographical
position, has already become the commercial
emporium of that large and'beautiful portion
of country, called the South Platte Valley.
Thito was' the first ohuroh organized in the
Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, and the
first to oommence the erection of a house of
worThip. It has the largest membership in
the latter Territory. And more than all, if
relieved of present embarrassments!, it will at
once become a self•sugtaining and contribut
ing church, no longer drawing on the . funds
of our Board of Domestic Missions to sup
port a pastor.
Any assistance that can be afforded, will
be. most thankiully received. Donations
may be handed to Dr. McKinney, at the
office of the Presbyterian Banner and Ad
vocate.'ll. M. GILTNEIL

ANZIIAL REPORT OF THE LADIES' MEER soorrar OF
PITTSBITHOII ,AND VICINITY
Could we trace the individual history of every
Bible which has been placed in circulation
through the agency of this Association, during
the many years of its existence, and embody all
these in our Report, doubtless such a scene of
sorrowing hearts made glad, sinful souls made
clean in the blood of the Lamb, and immortal
spirits reclaimed from everlasting punishment,
would be presented to our eye as would cause us
to bless and magnify the name of our heavenly
Father, that he has given us an opportunity of
spreading abroad the knowledge of his Word, to
the glory of his dear Son. But the past is with
God alone. He only knows what eternity will re
veal to us all, how much has been accomplished
through our humble instrumentality. That good
has been done, that the Bibles which, we have
caused to be circulated have been blessed to the
salvation of souls, some of whom are now perhaps
in heaven we cannot doubt. "Thy testimonies,"
says the Psalmist, " are very sure ;" " and the
Scripture," says John, " cannot be broken."
Our work is one of faith in God's promises, and
we rust we have been enabled to prosedute our
duties from a motive of love and gratitude, ac
companying our efforts with prayers for the Di
vine blessing. Bat we have no cause for boasting
since it is the work of the Holy Spirit operating
in and by us. To Him be all the glory. For our
selves, we have to confess a shortcoming that
needeth to be repented of. We have not given
our prayers and exertions to this cause, se dear
to our Redeemer's heart, as we should have done,
and now, in the beginning of another year, we
feel called upon, in dependence on Divine assiet.
anoe, to increase our activity and redouble our
prayerful interest in this work. May we be en
abled by God's grace to come nearer that line of
duty which shall at last receive the plaudit,
" Well done, good and faithful servant."
The amount collected by this 'Association has
been visibly diminished during the past two years.
This is owing, perhaps, partly to our neglect and
partly to, the fact that many of our contributors
have transferred their subscriptions to the Young
Men's Bible Society, Whilst we are glad to see
the prosperity of that Society, we hope yet to see.
a return of the ladies to their 'old Association.
Our eytem of collection has advantages over that
of other agencies, and our work is one in which
woman has a peculiar right and duty to engage.
Although our sphere is' in a. measure circum
scribed, there ie still much to do, and doubtless
enough 'to justify the continuance of our organiza
tion. Other cities have their Female Bible Socie
ties. There is a field of usefulness here, and why
may nbt this be extended by increased exertion ?
Are there not many in this city who, while daily
enjoying the blessings of the Bible, do not aid in
its circulation through the medium of any Am
elation? Can we not enlist these with us in this
good work ? There never was a time when the
demand for this Book of mankind was greater,
nor when the facilities for its infroduction to the
destitute in every nation were as great. Our
mission is not accomplished as long as we can
find work to do. The changes we have menticined
are no cause of discouragement or withdrawal.
Let us renew our efforts ; let us come with a
fervency and faith never before experienced, to
the throne of grace, asking all needful help and
blessing. Let us remember that life is the work
ing time, and. that death gives sweet repose to
those who have worked faithfully in the vineyard
of the great Husbandman.

Arrest of Gamblers.
Mayor Weaver show a commendable zeal in
favor of good order and , the administration of
law. He has banished, by the aid of the police,
'and a good Judge and Jury, or has driven into

waging an effective * warfare against gambling.
Quite a haul was made, of gamblers andlheir im

good beginning will be followed by persevering
energy, on the part of all the officers of the law,
and that these will be sustained by public senti
ment.
The Coal Business.
The hills along the Monongahela river yield the
principal amount of the Coal which is floated

Last year the bushele were twenty-eight millions

Historical Society of Western Penna.
The first regular meeting of the Historical 80.

Congress progresses with business, but not very
rapidly.
Judge Douglas has taken his seat in the Senate.
The ovation to the distinguished Senator was not
so enthusiastic as some bad anticipated, nor equal
to the honors paid him in New York and Philadel
phia.
A resolution has been passed, in the Senate,
instructing the Judicial Committee to inquire
whether any additional laws are requisite for the
suppression of the African slave trade.
There is some little prospect of the passage of a
bill for a Pacific Railroad ; though, as yet, the
partisans for the different routes are too much
divided. The" central route—that which will be
central to the largest amount of travel and bus.
ineas—if practicable, should, be the one chosen.
The death of Gen.. Quitman, • of Mississippi,
was announced in both Houses, with eulogistic
speeches, and an adjournment.
The Eighth of January was not honored by an
adjournment of the Heise.
The Kansas and Oregon queitions are still
exciting. Mr. Seward has presented to the Senate
a Constitution for Kansas, adopted at the late
Constitutional Convention at Leavenworth. Nei
ther Territory has the population entitled to a
representation in Congress. One is Democratic,
and the other Republican. Shall both be admitted,
or both rejected 7 To establish the principle of a
Territory having a full representative population
before it shall be admitted as a State, now is the
time to act.
The Cuban question is not , yet formally before
either House, but it is occasionally alluded to.
Senator Bigler, in his speech on another subject,
said he would readily vote three or four hundred
millions for the purchase. Where would the
money come from ? The .opposition of Spain to
a sale, backed as it is by England and France,
will likely prevent our Government from applying
any pressure in the case, and so save all financial
difficulties, on that score.
In the House, Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi,
offered the following preamble and resolutiou,
which was adopted:
Wilson/is, It has been announced in fonign
journals that the Courts of France and England
have given notice to• our Government that the
cession of Cuba to the United States will not be
tolerated, even with the consent of Spain; there
fore,
Resolved, That the President be requested, if
not incompatible 'with the public interests, to
communicate to this House the correspondence
between the Governments of France and England
with our own, in relation to the cession of Cuba
to the United States.
. The case of the Wanderer, and the_ importation
of slaves, is still a matter of much interest. Many
of the Southern papers strongly condemn the
attempt to renew the horrible traffic. But it has
also its advocates.
The United States CoMmissioner at Savannah,
has decided to commit, for trial, the prisoners,
Brown, Agesta, and Agavia, charged before him
with being implicated. in the importatiOn of Afri
can negroes, as slaves '
in the yacht.
Mr. Connor, United States District Attorney
at Charleston, South Carolina, has been summoned
to Washington for consultation with reference to
the recent landing of slaves at Southern ports,
and the alleged purpose of certain ultraists in
South Caroline to revive the slave trade in defiance
of the laws. •
By a recent enumeration of the houses in Wash
ington city, and an estimate of the inhabitants
based thereon, the present population of the city
is sixty-two thousand. This estimate is made by
Mr. John Lessford, who has made, many annual.
reports on the same subject, and whose estimates
seldom vary from the actual'returns of the decen
nial census. The census of 1850 gave a popula
tion of 41,000. In eight years, therefore, Wash
ington has gained 21,000 inhabitana—an increase
of more than fifty percent. If this ratio be
preserved until 1860, the population of Washing.
ton city In that year will be 67,000. About three
hundred houses have been erected during the past
year.

transports more burden than any other road in

Spanish race, both Nortlised South of the Isth
mus, is about to lead to the virtual supremacy of
the Anglo. Americans in the whole of the tropical
regions. There is no need of expected moderation
on their part, and a philanthropy.whioh few 'will
credit. The fact is plain enough that Mexico and
Central America, and the great Spanish islands.
will soon be under their sway, direct or indirect.
For our own part, we see little to regret in the
prospect, except the extension and perpetuation
of slavery in M 01630 and the other new territories.
But that the Americans might gain in the end by
forming States under the Equator, we do not be
lieve. The European race becomes not only ,
enfeebled, but demoralized,' by a residence be
tween the tropics, and • the " republic has already
suffered enough from the men of the South to
make it cautions how it turns the Spanish main
into the homes of American citizens."
The Daily News reviews the message in connex
ion with Mr- Buchanan's recent letter to the
Committee of the Pittsburgh celebration. It ar
gues that the president's policy in regat:d to. Cuba
and Mexico is intended as a reconciliation to the.
South, and predicts that nothing will be done at
present toward the annexation of Mexico. It
takes exception to the view taken of England's
supposed concessions about the searching of sus
pected slavers, and concludes by hoping that the
people will accept the admonitions in the Pitts
burgh letter, 'not by holding their tongues about
a particular form of danger, but by dealing with
the causes of disunion and corruption, and `bi

recovering the principles and spirit of their Con
stitution, rather than by false idolatry of its form.
The Morning Post confines its remarks to the
President's policy inregard to Cuba, and denounces
it in strong terms.
The Star refers to the °Antral American qnes
don ; deprecates the President's request to be al
lowed to employ force in the protection of the
Transit route, and doubts whether the European
powers would quietly permit the exercise of an
exclusive protectorate by America, over the Isth
mus.
The rest of the London papers comment on the
document with a mixture of satisfaction and die,
satisfaction.
The Manchester Guardian, in objecting to the
proposition that the President should he armed
with power to use force in the protection of ON
Isthmus, says that "between the expeditions of
Glen. Walker and his filibusters and the proposed
invasion by the regular force'of the United States,.
there is not a pin to choose, so far as the inde
pendence of Nicaragua is concerned." The same ,
journal likewise condemns the effrontery of the
President in regard to Mexico.
The Liverpool Albion characterizes the Message
of the President as dishonest in tone, and filled
with braggadocio and filibustering.
The TYmes, in , an article on submarine tele
graphs, says that, since the laying of the cable,
at least eight or ten new plans have been put
forth ; and draws special attention to the "Greet
Ooesn'Telegraph Company," which "reposes to
submerge a cable direct from the Land's End, in
England, to Halifax. It is proposed that the
cable shall be constructed on Allen's system,
which does away entirely with the outside cover
ing of wire, and makes the conductor of the cable
its main strength, thereby reducing its weight to
ten cwt. per mile.

It is stated that a contract has been signed be

contracts have also been entered into with' other
houses.
The appeal of Count Montalembert bad been
beard before the Imperial Court. The. term of
his imprisonment was reduced to three months,.
but the fine imposed was swarmed by the court.
The result of Count Montslembert's appeal is
considered to be a triumph over . the'Government,
as, under the new sentence, the amused will not
be liable to exile undpr the new law of suspicion.
It is stated that the French Foreign 'Office
heard, with some surprise, President Buchanan's
recommendation for,the purchased Cuba, France
having previously notified the American Minister
of its determination, in conjunetfon with England,
not to tolerate the cession of Cuba to the •United
States, even were Spain to consent.

Dlni—At her home, in PUltney Township,

MARGARIT SCARBOROUGH, in. the 67th year of her
age.
The deceased was a native of York County,
Pa., but removed to Ohio in company with, her
husband, about the year 1828. She was' a
respected and beloved member of the Presbyte
rian church of Rookhill, for near thirty yean.
Her health began to decline about one year ago.
She endured her sickness with great patience
and resignation to the Divine will. Her owl
dupes of a saving interest in Christ, as her Re
deemer and Saviottr, grew clearer, and her hope
of a blessed immortality, brighter, as she drew
near the time of her departure, and her end was
calm and peaceful. R. H. H.

and of good report with all who knew her.
Rome was all the sweeter because of her
presence. The social circle was all the better of
her dignified example. She professed faith in
Christ under the ministrations oY Rev. William
McCombs, and maintained a consistent walk and
conversation. The last few years of her life was
marked with patience and faith in the midst of
extreme suffering. She loved the Church of God,
and delighted to meditate upon his precious
Word. Jesus Christ was all her hope and'all her
salvation. While she lived, she exemplified the
truth of the religion she professed, , and in dying
she was not forsaken of Rim in whom she had
placed her trust. She sleeps in Jesus; and as
she reposes in heksquiet grave, many a child of
want may point to the, spot with tearful regret,
and feel that they have lost a friend. J.S.G.
DIRD—On the 10th of December, 1858, at
Mankato, 'Blue Earth County, Minnesota, Mr.
JOau A. CLARK, recently of Crawford County,
Pa., in the 27th year of his age.
Mr. Clark was the son of, Mr. Robert Clerk, a
Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian church of
Gravel Run...-Ari the 8d of September, 1863, he be
came a member of this church, on profession of
his faith in Christ Sometime after this, with a
view to a preparation for the work of the Gospel
ministry, he entered Allegheny College,, at . Mead- 1
ville, Pa. But ere he had completed his Colle
giate course of
, study, he became afflicted with
diseasi of the lungs,, which clung to him with
painful and wasting effect, blighting all his
earthly prospects, until it carried him to tke•
grave. And though be lingered for more`than
two years, with a mind often vibrating between
the hope of recovery and a conviction of the near
approach•of death, and often enduring smut°
and severe pain, be bore his affliction pith true
Christian fortitude. The deathuf one so young;
so 'gifted, and of so much promise for eminent
usefulness, -is one of the profound mysteries of
Providence. Endowed with a nature truly social,
with a strong and active mind, and possessing
undoubted piety, ardent zeal; and 'unyielding
perseverance, bis influence, as an humble Chris
tian, was decided and salutary, and his denth has
Stied many hearts with sadness and . mourning.
But we do not molten as those who have no hope.
Riaend was peace. A few moments before he
yielded his spirit to God who gave it, he repeated,
with a clear and distinct utterance, the following
words : •
"Jeans my all 'to haven has gone,
lie whom I fix my hopes upon ;
The track I see, and Pli pursue
The narrow way till him I view."
_Dten--On the evening of December :18th, in
the borough of Jersey Shore, Mrs. Mattumurr
Cattoruzus, 'itddow of the late `Francis P.
Carothers.
The deceased lived but a ft* mouths after the
departure of her husban , Her last illness was
of short duration, but her end was peace.' She
was a woman of much prayer and watchfulness,
and was neither surprised isor unwilling to go
when the Master called. '
Dian—November 10th, 1858, at French Grove,
Peoria County, Illinois, Mr: Joan Warms, Sr., in
the 73d year of his age.
Mr. White was born in Frederick County, Va.
In the year 1827, he moved to Western Virginia,
Marshall County, and in 1851 removed" from
thence to Peoria County, Illinois, where he pi
mained until hie death. Many who knew hiM in
the earlier part of his life, as a lively, thought=
less min, who roved 'the company of garcon'.
pinions, may rejoice to hear that he died, not as
he then lived. He was confined for six or eight
months to his room, with wasting disease, afford
ing him time to repent of his misiinprovement of
early Christian privileges and opportunities.
For about four weeks before his death, his
strength was greatly reduced, leaving his mental
faculties vigorous almost to the last. Daring
this time, he often expressed his trust in Christ,
as his only , hope for salvation, Thus died one in
a good oldage. as we trust, made the subject of
saving grace at almost the eleverdh hour,

The location of this Institution, twelve miles North of
Cincinnati, on'tbs Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Rail
road, gives it superior , advantages. It is *emulsible, and re
markably healthy—not a serious case of sickness Having
occurred in the Institution since Its establishment. No
better location could have been selected for a Female Col
lege. It is a beautiful and attrective plane. laid out by an
aasochition of gentlemen from Cincinnati as a suburban
village, The taste displayed in gardens, groves, and walks,
together with its beautiful natural scenery, cannot fail to
please tha eye and cultivate a taste for the beautiful in
nature and art. Add to this the refined social advantages,
the entire absence of the various excitements and tempta
tions that attend female institutions located in cities and
in the immediate vicinity of institutions , for young men,
and its facilities, by railroad communications in all dim
tione. and we have a combination of attractions superior to
any that can be found in the Western country.
The collegiate year is divided into two session* of twenty
weeks each : the first session commencing on Monday, the
6th of September,lBsB; and the second, on Monday, the
