For the Presbyterieu Banittrata 'United Presbyterian BeOrel convention. WABI3INGTON, Itsti.'lB, 1859. MR. EDITOR :—A 'yew interesting Con- V CI den of Ministers and Elders.. odu riected with the United Presbyterian Church, was held in this pliae on Tuesday.and,•Wednes day of this week; of which I wish guTe your readers a Brief 'account. To all intents and purposes, it was just such a meetiog_as those with which Preabyterinuellay.O become so familior r of late, and aseeixtbledfor the very same object—the revival of God's work. But foe the Psalmody, you, Mr.-Editor, had you been present, would not have rliscovered yourself to have been out of the latitude:of your own immediate brethren; so identical in spirit and aim ,were the discussions and prayers with those of our own Conventions. The minister present, of tbe 'United Presbyterian Church, so far eacan-rernem bar, were—the Rev. Dr—natra l und,Mcsers. Andrews, Thompson, Clark,' Carrion, Tag gart, and Huston. A Most cordial invitation was given to, the resident Ministers bf Wash ington, who came in ,as spectators, to take part in the'remarks and devotional exercises of, the meeting, and this invitation was'as heartily toOtipted. Metere. Cterctif the Meth odist Church ; 13rowm,.of thePumberlind Presbyterian ; Boyd, of tl3e ,Baptist; and Alrioh, Wipes, and Brortnson, of tlie Pres. byterian, as well its an unknown brother of the. United Brethren, were all personally thusinvited, and each took a free and earliest part in the whole proceedings. And not a discordant note was struck; nor 'a word uttered. to give the slightest pain to any one. The remarks were eminently ' Scriptural, Evangelical,, earnest,' and brotherly; just suoh, indeed; as were calculated, with- the Divine blessing, to exclits the spirit of 'gen uine revival in the hearts -of all present. The prayers, too, were humble, importunate, and warm.hearted. Arid the singing was marked with the same fervor of united and earnestlearta. . The topics dimmed were apfellows, viz.: let. The necessity : 4f , a revival „of, 2d. The connexion of preachilsiOnd prayer with the revival of God'a "work: Bd. What things are, to be avoided in a revival season. 4th. The Scriptural marks of a genuine revival. sth. The effects of a true revival upon the Church :and' the world. All of these, but espeeiallytlo 2d and 4th, were discussed very ably, Bird with remark able earneliness MA - : g ooa 'reeling, by the biiithren of all the different denominations represented. And the' large assembly of Christians of these denominations, and oth ers, hung with marked and prayerful atten tion upon the remaiird of iaoh speiker,,as if fearful that the benefit of S' word might be lost. All present seemed , teleel that the Spirit of God was, of a,truth,,iMthelr Midst. To whit are we coming in these times of wrestling prayer, when branbliei Of, the Church' whose zeal for orthodoxy, as many have supposed, - has led - them, in Aimee past, to look with coldness, if not with Opposition, upon revivals, are found thus cordial andspir ited in seeking their promotion? What would have been thought,' a few yaorsogo, of a pro ject to Unite BaptistO,lfethOdistA, , and Pres byterians, with our good' Seceder and Aisp elate Reformed brethren, in meetings for mutual 'exhortation and , prayer, in, behalf of a revival of religion, and especially of such a project emanating from these last-named brethren, themtelves ? Yet I thank 'tile Lord that I have been an interested witness of all this. If , such be the first fruits of the late union out of which the United Presbyterian Church has sprung, I cannot but hope that a career of enlargement and _prosperity is before that , body. God will not fail to bless stiah a spirit and such efforts. , The Convention, before its adjournment, authorized a Committee of their number to call a similar meeting at such a time and plane as they might think'fil. Mutual con gratulations and thanks were warmly ex °honed between the regular and corres ponding members, and in pattin g , all seemed to realize " how good and how pleasantitis for brethren to dwell . together in unity. n ..:, B. For the Preabyterlan Banner and Advocate. Church Extension. ' ST. LOUIS Jan 10, 1859 • The Church Extension Committee of the General Assembly ask , attention to the 'g lowing facts : let. The, applications for aid this year are sixty per cent. in advance of 'those received during the lame perioeof any former year: Since April let, 1868, one hundred; and twenty.two churces have sought help. This, is forty.six more than during the , cor. , responding period of any past year. Ninety eight-of these one hundred. and twenti-two churches _specify $44,886 as the. smallest amount of aid that will enable them to complete their houses of.worship free from debt. The remaining twenty-four churches have not fat stated their wants with pre cision. At the average of the 'ethers, theY would swell the amount asked for'.by the one hundred and twenty-two churches, , to $65,000, or at least $22,000 more than has ever before been applied for in the ,same time. 2d. Our appropriations exceed our mesa on hand $7,750. The ordinary receipts,will pay these appropriations as they fall due; but we cannot anticipate our' income much farther with • safety; and do not think it right to run in debt. Special donations ex cepted, no appropriations larger than $5OO, and but six larger than $4OO have been made during the nine months of the present Weal year. Bd. We are using the gifts"of the benev olent to help feeble churches build- :low price& houses , of worship. Thus far, this year, appropriations have been made tusA , enty churches. Four of these are special appropriationa j for which the Committee Sake no responsibility,, Of the remaining sixtraix churches, fiftyleyen cost from $6OO to $3,000, , and nine from $3,000 to $6,000. When it is remembered that most of these churches had to pay from $8•to 46 per hun• dred feet for their lumber; froin $9 to $l2 per thousand for their brick in the-wall, and scorn $2 to $4 per day for meehanics' wages, no reasonable man will think that the Onds entrusted to us for distribution have been used to pamper pride, or build unduly ex pensive houses. ..Fifty.eight of the, above, sixty.sis churches had from live to fifty members. The re. 4 maiming eight, from fifty to seventy-five members. Not one of the churches we have aided, either in numbers or means, could properly be called a strong church. AU, so far as we could learn, had shown'a. commendableliberality, and many had'made great sacrifices before they sought aid in building.' 4th. The amount received ismot one third the amount applied for this year. _The re. oeipts since April let., 1858, are $17,271791. The applications, ea* stated above, call for $55,000. It is, however, a cheering fact, that the receipts this- far this year are $2,65e, in advent* of the receipts of the corresponding period of any previous yeat. ' The unprecedented floo`C;of Applications, the excess of appropriatioils over present means, and the pressing wants of many ap plicants, constrain us to ask the Churoh for a large and immediate increase of contribu tions to the Church Extension work. To every one whom God has blessed with wealth, or with a heart to make sacrifices for. the extension of his kingdom, we present these needy hands of disciples as worthy Ojeda of substantial Christian sym pathy. Especially to the twenty-eight hun dred churches, on the roll of the Assembly 'from whom we have as yet, this year, re ceived nothing, do we appeal for the means to relieve sister churches in distress. • • Donations can be sent to Archibald (him. ble, Treasurer, St. Louis, Mo., or to arty of the Receiving Agents, named in the Home. and Foreign Record. By order of the Committee. - S. B. MOPEzETEn.B, Clem R.L Coe, See. /or the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate. Board of Domestic Missions. Mission Rooms, 910 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Jan. 9, 1859. RECEIPTS $14,400 LESS The receipts of the Board of Domestic Missions from March let, 1858, to January let, 1869, were fourteen thousand four hun dred dollars less than during' the corres ponding peiriod of the last fiscal year I- The statement of this fact should be Suficlent to convince all the patrons of the Board of the urgent necessity of largely augmented pecu niary aid. Can any other appeal to the churches be 'necessary in addition to the simple statement of this enormous diminu- tion in the receipts of the Board'? Must it not be obvious to every one, that it will be utterly impossible to carry on our domestic missionary operations without reducing ei•. ther the number of our missionaries, or their salaries, unless the receipts of the Board are speedily and largely augmented? Last year, when the treasury was entirely exhausted, the friends of the,cause liberally responded to our appeals, and will they not do so now ? .We, are aware that business has not generally revived, and that many have' not yet recovered from the effects of the recent monetary revulsion, bat are there not many others who have been more highly favored, and who can and ought, therefore, to give liberally of their abundance ? Can not all do something, even though in some oases it should require self4lenial? We beg all our readers to reflect and pray, and then act as their enlightened consciences may dictate. Remember the Divine declaration, " There is that soattereth and yet increaSeth ; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, and it tendgth to poverty." Oar fiscal year will close on ;the', first of March; those, therefore, who digit) to'have their contributions acknowledged in the An nual •Report of this year, shonld send them before that time. G.

This modifica tion conforms to a prinoiple of international law, and therefore was very properly accepted by 'the Administration: ' The Hensel:Le consigned to the tomb of the Capelets, all the resolutions which were sprung at the last session in regard to Walker and his fillibastering confederates, with so much indig nant parade at their arrest, and , accompanied by so much vehement deprecation at the interference of the president. But before taking this step, a' clear majority affirmed an • amendment of Mr. Ritchie, expressive of the thanks of Congress to Commodore Paulding, his officers, and men, for their capture of Walker and his Grew, and de claring the expedition a'violation Cf the laws of the United States.: This expression ,cannot fail to have effect, and it is the more decisive, because doubts are honestly entertained of the legal right of Commodore Paulding to: land and• arrest the intkudets.
