We have received the Thirteenth Annual

which it appeirs that there have been in at

the whole mutiber of graduates to the pres

member of the graduating class was' a pro
fessor of relikion, except one, and that
most of them became-pious while in atten

munion, ten of the pupils made a profession
of religion, and nine more intend to do so
upon reaching home.' For many years this
Seminary has been b4fisiia with the presence
of the Holy Spirit Power.
The Discussion Renewed.
We think that our responding to the two
articles of the Fresb,yterian, on , a subject so'
important as the missionary work' of the
Church, needs •no apology. But, for one
word we have used, we must apologize; that
is, for the am of the name of Dr. Leybure.
In the former discussion throughout„ not
withstanding the frequent use of our in&
vidual name, and that in most offensive eon
nezions, we never retorted by using the
name of our opponent. And we should not,
now even for once, have trespassed on edi
torial courtesy, but in the discharge of a
high duty. We have found that our valued
friend, the senior editor of the Presbyterian'
was suffering under the belief by many,
that he still controlled that journal, and was
responsible for all it contained. This is a
great mistake. He is only an employee
there. Dr. Leybarn is a proprietok, and
gives to the paper , its' controversial chante
ter.
The discussion we Putpoee not to prolong,
only as we may be called, out. .13nt still,
our readers, must not become: wearied. The
real question at issue is, whether the Boards
shall be .under lindividuat, or under Eccle
siastical control. Our opponents wish to
enjoy the whole of the.fortner, retaining the
name of the latter. They would have.ihe

The Presbyteria n -and the Domestic Board.
Oitr contemporary is sorely exefoisnd •at
the affection and liberality, of the churches
toward the Board of Domestic Missions.
Theieattachment continues, notwithstanding
the repeated efforts to weaken confidence in
its Secretary and in its executive manage.
went. One is in a sad predicament, surely,
wheit,hts prophetic reputation depends upon
a calamity to his own Church; and when
the promptitude of the Lord's people in the
discharge of their duty defeats his projects
and brings sorrow to his soul. We pity the
Presbyterian. In compassion for its unen
viable position, we could patiently bear with
it. We did bear its misrepresentations of
the 19th, and might have been quiet under
,its assault of the 26th, if it bad been con
tent to strike only at us. But it attacks also
the Secretary, and misstates facts, and im-
Teens the Ifoard. Our persevering silence
might result in injury to the missionary
cause. Some response on our part becomes
hence a matter of duty.
The Secretary's speedy announcement of
the large contributions in January and
Pebruary; made known by him thus early
that the .missionaries might be cheered with
the aseurance.pf a full and prompt payment
of theirlalaries, and that the.. Presbyteries
about to meet shortly might cheerfully pre
sent their, feeble churches for the customary
aid, was published, by our contemporary, in
an obscure, position—in a dark corner, as it
were—and with not a single word of grata
laden. Niijoy lighted up its soul at the un
expected tidings. Our missionaries, church
es, and' Presbyteries, will know how to
estimate this want of interest in their welfare.
Of us, the Presbyterian says
"Our contemporary claims the large balance
in the treasury at the close of the fiscal year as
a vindication of its policy, in advocating the
abolishing of the Associate Secretaryship."
This is a sad misstatement.. We did not
claim the large balance, but the. -large :con
tributions of the churches after they found
that thci Board had yielded to the .Assem
bly's proposition, and had abolished the
needless and expensive office. This act of
the Board re-established their confidence,
so that although their contributions during
ten Months in the year had , fallen off $14,-
400, yet in the remaining two months they
sent in so liberally, that the decrease from
last year .was, from the churehesi but 'a little
over $3,400, and from Legaeies and MiS
oellaneous,mot quite $2,200, making in all
a decrease. only. about ss,6oo—not
$6,636.69, as the Presbyterian erroneously
stated. .
Speaking Of - the balance in the treasury,
it:nays :
Thie balance may hairs, been secured by a
curtailment of operations. A reduction of the
numb& of missionaries, or, cutting down their
Salaries, would of course diminish eipenses, ,and
leave a birker surplas,,Oven with smaller'Ve

the editors was at the late meeting and
heard it there stated,That no proper . appli.
cation had, been refused ;- and that the
amount asked' by the Presbyteries for their .
Missionaries, had been:granted' more fully
than forMerly. And if this was not satin-'
factory, any of them could, iu a few minutes,
have stepped to the office and received all
information. The office of that Board is
not a dark and inaccessible chamber.. It is,
' the expreEnive - language of Secretary
Jones, a glass house. It is, transparent,
light, and luminous. Every man who
°hoses, may look in and see all that is done.
It has nothing to conceal. The latch string
is always out. Every intrant inquirer there,
is received with kindness, and the books are
opened for his inspection. Every call for
information, is answered. Then why should
those who live but next door neighbors, re
sort to conjectures and defective statements?
Would not facts and fullness answer their
purpose r
The financial facts in the case are these,:
The contributions of the first two months
of the fiscal year fell short about $6,000.
Then, that is, in March and April, there
had been no public agitation of the Secre 7
tauship. Daring the next eight monthd,
the deficiency , increased to $14 , 400: This
embraced the rise, progress, and subsidence
of the agitation. For the remaining two
monthe the churches were liberal; .
pay
ments came in rapidly ; and the deficiency
was reduced to about $5,600. This was
after at became manifest•that the will of the
churches, expressed through the -Assembly,
would be executed by the Board, and that a
needless 'Waste 'would not be prolonged.
These are the facts. Men may account for
them as they will. ' •
t The increased, balance, over that of the
previous year, , while the receipts were less,
occurred thus. The year began ' with a
larger amount of funds'in the treasury, than
the previoue year had done. There were
fewer expensive outfits for distant missions.
A number of mission churches became self
sustaining. Some of the Presbyteries,
knowing the shortness of the crops, and'the
financial' difFieulties, and heeding the 'isug:
gestions of the last Assembly, felt it incum
bent on' theni ci..ask for smaller appropria
tions. Thus it, occurred, that while the
Board did not, refuse any proper applications,
anirdid;'more fully than usual, grant what
the Presbyteries asked, there was yet an in
creased balance remaining. The number of
missionary , appointments was, however,
about Six. hundred; say, some ten less than
during., the previous.year.- These statements
•
we make-fro m . our own inquiries and hives
tigations, it the recent meeting of the Board
and3hey„ge substantially confirmed by the
Secretery;s:letter to the Presbyterian, which
, r.
we :give - On our firstipage, and to which we
invite pirtioular attention.

of another $12,000. Well, possibly it
might have been so, if only the Board had
promptly complied with the Assembly's sug
-gestion, and if the Presbyterian bad heart
ilpassured the churches that . their wishes
in regard to economy and, efficiency would
be thorophly and wisely executed; that
sinecure's should be repudiated, and sacred
funds be given only to truly useful laborers.
Still, however, the inference is not strictly
logical. The , ability to give r doss Ast ne
cessarily increase every year. - And for the
last year, it was evidently diminished; the
Lord having withheld the usual fruitful
ness of the. seasons. The experience of the
Church has also shown fluctuations before
this ; as the Secretary has : made manifest
One other thing demands a word of notice.
The Presbyterian endeavors, from the fail
ing health of the Secretaries, to make eip
ital. for its favorite idea of expending the
Church's money lavishly upon officers, who
are expected to do but little work. We
shall give, its words, piscine in 'brackets
from our own pen, seine things needful to a
fair presentation of the case.
"It - is well known'that Dr. Wm. A McDowell,
sunk under his onerous labors, (he having the
aid, in his office, of one, of the Board's agents,
during the latter part of his official life,) and
that Dr. C. C. Jones's.health, was so enfeebled by
a few years service as to compel him to retire, (an
Assistant Secretary being employed with him all
the time ;) and now Dr. Musgrave resigns from a
similar cause, (he, also, having with him an As
sistant Secretary all the time, until
• his disease
was contracted and confirmed. _Ergo, Assis
tant is indispensable.)"
Great reasoning, this, fora Presbyterian I
Another man might draw the inference that
an Assistant was annoying, perplexing;.de
structive to health, rather than a preserva
tive of this blessing. And really when we,
saw Dr. M. since the retirement of his As
sistant,• his eyes exhibited less of disease,
and he seemed to have a. mull More eoM
fortable use of them than on the last two
•
occasions on which we had met with him'
previously to, the Assistant's retirement;
and his general health was perfectly good.
But, away with such reasonings. So far as
physical powers are required, any one man,
'blessed with ordinarily good health, and
judicious in the care and 'use of it, oan dis
charge all'the duties belonging to the Sec
retaryship. He will need clerical aid ; and
a liberal Church and a wise Board %Sill give
him just as many Clerks as, he has real use
for, and will compensate them at - fair . rates;.
'not - with Secretary's, but with Clerk's wages;
and not for idlene**, nor:for pleasure jaunts,
but for service's dilly rendered.
, We agree with our , contemporary that
c 4 it 'is, poor economAr the Church to at
tempt to save money at the expense of the
health and lives of her - faithful servants."
But this is a folly of which she has not
been guilty. She has furnished an Assist
ant, at a salary equal to that which is ordi
narily paid to three pastors. And see the
result. SeCretary Jones said, and Still 'Says;
that the office is not needed.' Secretary
Musgrave affirmed and, maintains the same.
Heed, then, the voice of experienceli coun
selors
Our oontempers#.oliarges -withl‘por
verbng Nets to Serve a purpose." We
have Shan that our fasts were really facts,
and that we used them aright. But it did
not tell what that "purpose " was. Will
it not be, so kina as to supply the defiCiency
and give' the evidence on which it founds its
charge.
It says in its last :
‘t It is worthy •of note,. that in , order retain
Dr. Musgrave, it tuts been , seriously proposed to
employ assistance in , the office, though the
Church has been, assured, time and again, that
none was needed."

amanuensis was spoken off; but those who
knew Dr. Musgrave well, resisted the
thought, and said that if this relief were•
resorted to, it would be only for a little
while; and that at the Secretary's own pri
vate expense. And the Treasurer, if we
remember right, said there was force
enough in the office (himself and the Clerk,)
to render every help needed. Why did not
the Presbyterian, if it wished to be regard.
ed as reliable in its statements,, tell its
readers these things?
_ -
It is said again :
" What must be thought of the judgment, fore
sight, enterprise, and faith of thane who manage
our,Domestic Missions, if, for instance, they de
cline sending a well qualified missionary to Cali•
fornia--that field where we have already irre
trievably fallen behind other denominations, and
ye •
t report a balance of $25,000 in the treasury
at the end of the year ? Will the Church approve
this policy.?"
Now, what " well qualified missionary"
did the Board decline to send 7 Will our
contemporary name him ? Or is this mere
ly a conjecture, invented and cautiously
worded for effect ? And when did this
" balance " come into the Board? Was it
not during the last two months of the fiscal
year? How then could the Board use it?
And " would the ChUrch approve " of the
policy;" of making a large debt through
the year, in anticipation of large contribu
tions during the 'last two months ? And
especially would it be a good "judgment,"
and a wise " foresight," and .true "faith,"
on the part of " those who manage our Do
medic Missions " to incur such a debt when
the country was- suffering under short crops,
and the funds declining and a factitious ma

an Associate Secretary was in rebellion
against the Assembly, and- the old and in

and when not a journal in the Church save

wouldit hare been wise in‘lhem to launch

not 'rather show a sound "judgment " in
their conservatism, and a true "faith," and .
a strong faith in God and his people, when

churches, and their lasting gratitude, and
the; -will have both the one and the other,
maugre all the efforfs of Dr. Leyburn & Co.
to involve them in suspicion. They were
wise and firm. They did their work, and
the Lord blessed them, and the people ap
proved.
How the Secretary and the Board may
treat the assault, made upon them, we know
•
not. They are entitled to the columns of
the Presbyterian, if they see proper to.de•
feud themselves before the churches. If
refused their proper rights there, our col

EASTERN SUMMARY
Boston and New Englaitd.
The difficulties in one of the Ptiblic Schools,
mentioned in our last, are in a fair way of being
settled quietly at least, if not satisfactorily. True
indeed, suit is said to,have been entered against
one of the School officials, for dismissing one of
the pupils,_because of refusal to comply with the
rules of the School, with regard to repeating the
Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments, ea
zoording to the. Common English Version. And
Bishop Pitzpalrick has •addressed the. School
Board complaining of the hardship imposed in,
compelling Catholic children to recite from a
Version of the Holy -Scriptures, the validity of
which is not acknowledged by their Church. But
I the whole difficulty seems to have originated from
the course of a single priest not long resident in
the place. The other prints seem to have taken
but little interest in the matter, and did not advise
the . withdrawal of ,Catholic children for the cause
alleged, or that they should refuse to comply with
the regulations of the School. The differences
between the Remish, and Piotestant translations
of the Lord's Prayer and 'the Commandments,
'are so trifling, that the dissatisfaction has re
sulted more from 'disapprobation of the whole
Common School syritem than any thing else.
The bill ordering the continuation of the Hooaa
Tunnel, has passed ,both houses and become a law,
so thdt hopes are now entertained of a speedy
completion of this great work.
The subject of elm' Communion as held by one
division of the Baptist Church in this country,
-has been again brought before the public,
owing to the action of a Council, in rending to
ordain Mr. Howell, beeause of his avowal of open
communions sentiments, although entertaining a
decided preference far baptism by immersion. In
general his sentiments seem to be the same as
those of Robert Hall; and the fact that' these
views are making,progress among the Baptists in,
this country, is sufficiently indicated, by the fact
'that while sixteen of the Council voted against
ordaining Mr. Howell, seven, voted in • favor.
Thus, in this vicinity nearly one-third of a Conn
.
ail would'ordain a man who-avows open commun
ion, of the most ultra kind. And the Rev. Dr.
Stow, pastor of. theltome Street Baptist church,
at the last communion service, invited members of
all Christian, churches to join :with them., This c.
cannot certainly be called close communion.
From the report mode at the late Aliniversary
of the Orthodox Congregational churches, it ap

connexion is nineteen;"whole number of Mission

New York.
The hopes of the friends of rein' perance in this
city, have been again disappointed in the failure
of the proposed prohibitory liquor law. - But, in
the meantime, new rum shops are opening on al
most every street, and the work of demoralization
from this cause makes rapid progress, notwith
standing all the occasional opposition Put forth
fronitime to time. The future of the laws re-
speoting the liquor traffic is still in doubt. All
legislation on this subject has been, for the
most part, in vain, owing to the want of faithful
nese on the part of the officers to execute the
law. Any other public pest so boldly displayed,
and producti've of such terrible consequences to
soul and body, would be quickly abated as a
nuisance not to be endured.
When- Harper's Weekly Journal-of Civilisation
was started, from the characterOf the firm, aid the
abundant resources within reach, a valuable litera
ry and fainily paper was expected. The form, thepa
per, the type, and the firstcontents, promised much
that worild improve"the taste, refine the manners,
and promote good morals. But, unfortunately,
in an evil hour, miserable wood cuts were intro
duced, that have defaced the entire general sp
pearanee. A. wood cut of Bartholomew's Statue
of "Eve Repentant," now on exhibition in Phil
adelphia, published a week or two ago, is such a
libel on the original, that both artist and pub
lishers should be ashamed of the injury thus in-.
fiicted on a meritorious work of art. But-this is
not the worst feature. Some time ago, the same
paper was profusely illustrated with cuts repre
senting the murder of the Gonidi . family by a
frantic band. Then came cuts of the Key and
Sickles tragedy, in Washington City, and last
week its readers had an opportunity of feasting
their eyes upon the horrid murder lately perpe
trated in Hawesville, Ky., and which has done so
Much to disgrace the whole,community in which it
occurred., This is pandering to a morbid appetite
for suoh news to an extent altogether unworthy
of the quarter, from which it comes. We were
pleased, a few years ago, when the Messrs.
Harper abandoned the publishing of the cheap
novels, andlt will afford us much pleasure to be
able to state, at no distant day, that they have
also left off theflash paper business. ' •

The Carters continue to send out additions to
their already large and valuable catalogue of pub

richly merits the large patronage he has received,
and which is continually increasing. We feel
that we are doing a kindness to our readers in ask
ing them to examine and preserve this catalogue,
as it will appear in three or four succesSive num
bers of our paper, before it can be completed.
There is no more unexceptionable list to be

Our London Correspondent lately referred to
the interest taken just now in the Stereoscopic
art, in England ; but it is not generally known
that the art has reached great perfection in this
city.. A company called the "New York Stereo
scopic Company," was formed some time ago, of
which Messrs. D. Appleton & Co. are .the sole
agents; but these gentlemen have agents in the
principal cities of - ... the union; Mr. John S. Davi
son is the agent for Pittsburgh, and has: all the
stereoscopic views, American, English, and
"French, to be found anywhere. The stereoscope
t,akes its name from an, instrument invented by
Prof. Wheatstone, of England, consisting of two
mirrors, the backs of which are inclined to each
other 'at an angle of ninety degrees. -For the
benefit of our readers, we give the explanation
of the effect produced by this arrangement. "It
will be obvious that if two piotures of the same
object be placed. at a little distance in ,front of
these mirrors, we , shall have two reflected images.
If, hoirever, we bring the nose close" to the edge
at which the mirrors are united, and thus look
with an eyt; into either glass, the two will be re
solved into one, and the resulting image, instead
of appearing as a plain surface, appears as a solid,
possessing length, breadth, and thickness. The
result'is very successfully obtained, if the precan
thin be taken of preparing the drawings so that
they represent the- object as seen by the eye."
So that the whole effect of
,a stereoscopic view is
to represent an object of whatever kind, just as
it would appear to the eye,of the beholder of the
original. In this way, a fainily can in ancvening
travel over our, own country, visit Europe, Egypt,
and the Holy Land, and get - a sight of the moat
important 'and sacred places and things men
tioned in history,.at a very small expense. Views
are, taken on both glass and paper. Thoae on
glass include the most noted scenes in every part
of Europe, America, Egypt, and the Holy - Lana,
such as the monuments of Egypt, Jerusalem, and
environs,' COnstantinople, the classic, 'ruins of
Greece and Rome, the romantic Rhine, the grand
cathedrals and magnificent palaces of the Old.
World; together with the greatest woidis of art,
ancient and modern. Paper views include land
scapes and noted edifices' in America," England,
Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, Spain, Germany,
and Holland. There are no lese than fifty views
of Paris, fifty of London • twenty-five of; Edin
burgh, twenty-five of Dublin, and one hundred

French Provinces, and Germany. ,•
Considerable excitement has been created by
the Sua,pen.9ioti of a Catholic Priest, by Bishop

,Considerable interest is manifested in, the ap
pointment of a Successor to Prof. Trethake as Pro
vost of the :University of Pennsylvania. The
claims of Prof. John E. Frazer, now Vice Pro
vost, are, strongly urged rby some, while others
are warmly in favor of. Prof. GleorgeP. Marsh, of
Vermont ThiS gentleman is of very high litera
ry character, and has made the origin, progress,
and sources of the_ English language a special
study. His lectures delivered in New York last
Winter, attracted much attention for the origi
nality of thought and research displayed. The
opinion of such a man with respect to• our pres :
eat version of the Holy Scriptures, is entitled to
much weight. This he has given, and it does
not, do much to encourage our modern revisers.'
Here it is as expressed in one of his recent
lectires
"The attempt tO modernize the style of the
Bible, he says it is asAbsurd as it would be to
translate Shakespeare into the dialect of Our
American Cousin. Be deprecates a new trans
lation, because it would. tend, to unsettle not
merely the formulas, but the faith of the people.
Be thought that this more than counterbalanced
the, advantage to be derived from a correction of
the errors of translation. Besides, it was prob
able that the fifty years to come Would see as
great an advance in the knowledge of Biblical
language and English, as we had seen during the
last half century. Then, a much better trans
lation could be made than now. Bat he doubts,
In any event, whether, in case a new translation,
or a revision even, were really- adopted, there
must not,be as many as there were sects. To
revise now would be to seotaiianize."

The Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist
Xpiscopal Churches; which lately convened in this
city, was attended with great interest by, the
members of that denomination, and others. The
reports from the Book Concerns at New York and
Philadelphia, indicate great and growing activity
in that'department. The'capital of the New York
Concern is over $518,000 ; 'the sales there in 1858
were $20,000 greater than in 1856; - and the
circulation of the Sunday School Advocate of that
Church, last year, amounted to 187,000. The
net capital of the Concern at Cincinnati, is over
$208,000.- The sales for the last year at this
'place were, for books, $76;253.20;'f0r periodi
cals, $108,644.12. The net' sales for last year
at Cincinnati, show a falling off of nearly $13,000
as compared with the previous year. The Book
Concern of this denomination has also flourishing
branches at Pittsburgh, Chicago, and St. Louis.
When will our own Board of Publication begin to
exhibit a' similar spirit of enterprise ? . When
that day arrives there will be great rejoicing in
the Church'.
Judging from some of the speeches made at the
Noen•Day Prayer Alerting; there does not seem
to 'be' that strong , disposition to unite with some
Christian Church, on the , part of many of the
recent converts, that is desirable. This is a great
il l
mistake on their ; part, fo r if ,they helieve that
they haves been . truly bor again, they have the
privilege of uniting wit some breech of the
11
great family of Christ; it is their duty to do
so, and thus profess Ch at according to his ap
pointment. The Sabbath School, the Union
Prayer Meeting, and the Young Men's Christian
Association, however excellent in their place, must
not be substituted for union with the visible
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Quite a number of Additions are reported, in
several of the Presbyterian churches, and evi

many of them.

The Knickerbocker
The number for April, like its predecessors, is
witty, sprightly, interesting, and instructive. It
has twelve articles„with the usual literary noticep,
and the indispensable editor's table. The first
article shows up the absurdities of modern
Spiritualism; and the second is the beginning of a.
very agreeable series on " Dante from a Modern
Point of View."
Peterson's >Philadelphia Counterfeit De-
tectox.
We are indebted to the proprietor for the April
number, of this valuable publication. Peterson
& Brothers' are also engaged in the publication of
the works of Sir Walter Scott, in a cheap but
neat form. The series will consist of twenty-six
numbers, and maybe had at Hunt & Miner's, of

whole. Sir Walter has had no equal in his de
partment.
The Atlantic Monthly.
This magazine for April, was promptly on our
table, and we have already' perused several of its
articles, with much interest. The first is entitled
"Agrarianism," • and shows' most conclusively
that the popular idea attached to this term - is by
no means correct. The article, on Palfrey's'
tory of New England, and Arnold's History of
Rhode Island, has awakened within ns a strong
desire to have the reading of these recent works.
The Letter to a Dyspeptic contains, important
suggestions to any of its readers who may belong
to this unfortunate class. The reviewer of
ion's New History of Mexico, exhibits not a few
of the faults he chargas on his author.
