PASTOR,. WANTED.
The Presbyterian church of Wyandotte,

sirous of obtaining a pastor. This is an
excellent field of usefulness, and gives
prriuse of `comfortable support now, and
ample liberal support in a shed time.
Wyandotte is the gate to the entire terri
tory, and must alwayslyea, place of impor
tance. Letters ou'"•the aubject, addressed

THE WHIP.
Opt' correspondent " IL," (see fourth
page;) is' a 'little severe on the ladies.
Mailers must use their tongues. There
must, be some out-let, for vexation. .=So
think the multitude. But, really, the evil
which is exposed is' one of immense meg-.
nitniA6. There are 'hut few methers who
use,, the rod „too much. But the number
who threaten too much, is immense. Threat
ening diminishes the parent's authority,
injures the child's temper, and tends to an
kihilite good goirernment. A good lesson
ay; , learned by - reading the article to
which we allude.. . #
RAILROADS AND• THE SABBATH;
We are plesied to find an improved care
.
fulness in avoiding the running of cars on the
Sabbath. Cattle trains used to run,but we
have ,not, for months, witnessed the move
ment of any, and we live on the Line of the
Pittsburgh, Fort' Wayne and Chicago.
The Pennsylyania rOad, we learn, has also
strictly f6rbidden 'employees to move their
trains pn the Lord's, day. These are favor
able symptoms of 14 growing , regard for
Scripture morality.
The stopping of the St . Clair Street and
Manchester Passenger Cars, by the Mayor
of Allegheny' City, is also a good act,
lately, accemplished:

Union Prayer-keeting, in Bblfast, Ireland.
The day yeas delightful, the assemblage
large, and the interest deep and solemn.
The nuMber of persons present is stated as
being upwards of thirty thousand! There
was perfect br.der, under the excellent ar
rangements of a committee: '
Among the speakers on the occasion, we
notice the names of our. friends; Geo. H.
Stuart, Escp, of Philadelphia, and Rev. N.

The meeting was•held in the Royal Bet

at'ultervals to preVent the juveniles from
injuring shrubs and flowers. So great an
interest in a prayer-meeting is a delightful
sign of the tithes. '

ANNUAL REPORTS.—DONESTIC MISSIONS;
The Annual Reports are Abe official ex
posé, deliberately put_ ferthby agebts to
their principals; that is, by the Boards to
the churches and people. They should not
be partial statements, special, pleadings,
laudations, apologies, nor coneealments,laut
exhibitions of truths and facts, full; clear
and reliabl6: Being' such, and detailing
much good work, well done, the more ex
tensively thershall be circulated, and the
more minutely examined,
,the better will
the Boards aPpear. The people - Will then
rejoice, in their agents. Great results flow
ing from the; moderate means afforded, will
he stimulants to increased liberality. The
evidence 'that funds have been well bus
banded aAd judiciously appropriated, will:
inspire confidence. And if a Board has
been mistaken as' to •the real will and wish
of the churches, a corrective can be
promptly applied. Then," tell the people
what is done, and why. Tell them also of
what may and should be done, and its cost.
Light will lead to'free and cheerful giving,
that is, when , it discloses true worth.
Last week, in accordance witka purpose
to bring to the attention of our.readers the
Reports of all the Boards, we spoke of that,
to the Assembly of 1860, on Foreign Mis
sions. We now take, up the .Report of the
Domestic Board: This document presents
facts which must cause every Christian to
rejoice. An evidence of the Meisiithship
of Jesus was, - that lie preached the Gospel
to the poor; and one grand feature of a true
Church of his ever since and ever'; to
come, has been; and will be, the preaching
of the Gospel, to the poor. That is, the
poor will not be , overlooked and neglected,
in the wide dispensation of the Word.
They will be provided for.
,Ministers will
labor for them and rich men will bestow
upon them. The body of Christ' will care
for all the members. This evidence of
true Churchship is' possessed in a high de
gree by Presbyterians. Their, Board of
Domestic Missions is a splendid light,
shining perpetually, • and witnessing for
them far and"wide. May it shine forth
ten-fold more brilliantly, Making luminous
every purlieu: of our eities,_and. every nook
and corner of, our extended and extending
country.
The number of churches and missionary
stations, supplied. ; whole or in part,
during the year ending March Ist, 1860,
was 1,179. In these there are 28,107 COM
inuideants, of whom 2,666 were received
durinc , the year, as new converts and there
are `22,035. children receiving instruction
'in their Sabbath Schools. These numbers
are reported;; but from many Mission
churches reports were not received, so that
the aggregates must be above what is'here
stated. ,
The whole number of missionaries em
ployed was 691, of Whom 56 , were itin
erants. Attention has also been paid- to
immigrants, and especially `to the CrerMans,
of whom our country receives large num-
bet's.
The' term " missionary " is not 'strictly
applicable to a great portion of our work.
The laborers are, : for the most
,part, not ao-
Wally sent. They are pastors of feeble
churches,'who have been installed by the
Presbyteties;and recomtnended to the Board
for 'aid. And they are not sustained by the'
Board „ alane. 'The churches contribute
what they can; and the. Board tupplements.
Some of the laborers receive from the
Board sso;some $lOO, and sonic get five or
six times that anictint, The average amount
given is $202.87, which is nearly, but not
quite, two-fifths of what the missionaries
receive for their Sustenanee.
Our Church, as a Domestic Missionary
Society, operates mainly through the Exec
live Committee of its Board ,at =Philadel
phia; buteXtensiely through' a Committee
;11, Louisville, and hopefullythrough one at
New Orleans. It also operates through
seven of its Presbyteries, viz., West Hano
ver, East -Hanover; Coneord,./arange, Tus
caloosa, Fayetteyille, and'lSouth Alabama.
These appoint' and pay their own MissionC
cries, keeping independent, treasuries, and
reporting to the Board. The Presbyteries
of Flint•River.Roanoke; and'South Carolina
do their own missionary work, without re
porting to the Board the sums collected and
used. Two or three Other Presbyteries do
their Work mainly thus, we believe; sand
some individual= churches conduct each its
own missionary enterprise. Hence the + An
nual Report does not tell us the full num
ber of contributing ehurches, mor the ex
tent of the work done by our body in
preaehing to the poor.
The - number of missionaries commis
sioned by the Board, the last year, was,
as stated, :691 ; which was 91 in advance
of the previous year.' The number of
thurches contributing througlethe Board,
or reporting to the Board, was 1,705, an
increaser of 97 on the previous year, or of
3on the year before that. The non-con:
tributing chutlehes,that is, the churdhes
which • did not contribute to the'.Board,
nor report to it, were ,over .1800.
The receipts in all the treasuries, for the
year ending March 1, 1860,,was 8118,904.-
21; a sum greater by $19,231.18, than
those Of the previous 'year. ' This increase
has been a matter of no small, gratulation
on the part of the brethren , who, , a little ,
over a ye,ar ago, obtained the captaincy and
assumed the helm. It has beeni flaunted
as the indication of a purpose in the
churches to 'sustain them and their 'meas-,
urea. In this condition of affairs, the
•.
Board's interest; may be greatly at stake,
and it becomes a duty to: look a little into
particulars. If the increase is from the
churches, awl with Undoubted good - will,
it may be relied on for the purposes alleged;
otherwise, there may,,be wisdom. in await
ing further developments.;
This increase is stated in the, report to
be, yrom individuals, special donations, and
legacies, $13,052.24; and from - contribu
tions of the Churches, $6..48.94.., The in
crease, from, the churches, which are the
perManent and main source of ncome, is thus
shown to be but small. And a reduction
is even-yet to be made. The'SOuth Wes
tern Advisory Committee raised, for their
own Special 'use, $1.3,078.41, The preVious
year, there was raised in the samafield, but
$5,390. The • difference, $7,688is to: be
'attributed to the stimulus of a ne3W"org,ani
sationhaving the care of that" pedal fierd.
A just inparkee of the two years requires
the r.efitkP4Q l2 ,; ( i . this excess, from the ag..

appears that instead of a gain of $1;178.94,
there is °loss of $000.47.-:
Hut let us view the matter at the centre
of operations:

In 1860 less than in 1859.
That is, in the office in Philadelphia,
with the two Seeretaries, and the new EX
ecutive Committee, and the new meastires,
and 'the special effort, and in a year .of
great mercantile prosperity, there is, from
churches, individuals &c., a decrease of
two thousand, six kandred and twentyLeighe
dollars and ninety-four cents, below the di- .
minished receipts of the previous year.
This certainly does not look like an inertias-'
ing, devotion 'to the 13cia,fd. And`it iffoilds
but a poor prospect' of meeting :sueeeisfUlly,
enlarged operations and, growing expendi
tures. , •
And the $24,822.11 of legacies was not ,
the prorier incorne of the year. 'Much of
it was derived' from heqUesta of former
years—bequests held in bonds bearing
terest,,,, as a ,permanent, fund;. but , Which
were, during the year, sold at a' discount "to
raise ready cash. flow much of the income
was thus obtained, we 6atinofLtaie; ,but
„
can crive some information. In, the Ronl,e
and Foreign Reco'rd,for Febrnary, we find{
that five bonds of the HANS WiLioNlstaie,'
(of Ohio) of $l,OOO 'each, were sold for s3;=" ,
950, that is, at'a discount of 21 per cent.;
and that two bonds of the, estate, of A. 3.-
BLYTHE, (of Indiana,) of $l,OOO each, were
sold for $1,506.18, that is'•at a discount Of
24.18 per cent: One elaAs of these hoods, 'ati
we are informed, bore 7,per cent inte'reit, and
the, other 6 per eent., the, interest being
promptly paid. Other bonds of a similar
character, we`have reason, to,believe, were
also sold, and' the proceeda counted in, thus
swelling the receipts.,
This exposure - of facts is riot pleasant;
but a new policy is Ott trial, and not only
laudations, but expansions are based upon'
the figures In such 'a case, to be honest is
a duty, and will do good rather,than injury;
to a worthy. cause. Presbyterians know
hoW to diseriminate`between ,a great enter
prise and its' incidents. - ' l'" "' '•

REBELLIOUS SPIRIT.
Since the organic union •'of the 'Assoei
ate Reformed with the Seceders, and the
formation of " The Plated PresbyteOgan
Chunk", some :,elemerits of, diner& still
seem to mar 'thelainiony,,of the mew cooler
siastical structure
For example ; their 'General Assembly;
tiff its recent, seisions 'in Philadelphia, de
cided that their .leading distinctive irinci
pies on Psalmody, Close Communion, Se
cret Societies, &C., should be-Maintained as
terms of commtnnion ; and that it is a-vio
lation. of, their 'Standards to extend com
munion in 'sealing ordinances, to •persons
retaining membership in •Churches 'hifddin&
principle's inconsistent with theirs. They
also recommended that pembers of *Secret
Societies who reinsetowithdraw from them,
be excluded from"the Clutch. Rev. :Wm.
DAVIDSON, one'of their miniiters'in . Era:Thw
ilton,' 'Ohio,- PnblisheS to 'the r elnrCh,
throut=h their'newspapers, that he cannot
in good conscience, carry out these decis
ions in his ,practice ‘ in his congregation.
They oppress his coitstieace, and he will
not violate it at the bidding' of the AS
sembly.
That ,MT. DAvrosoN, is entirely unpre
pared to;submit to the dicta of his breth
ren' on 'these -point's, is evident' from the
following' extract from his article :
"I believe," hi `says,''«"l fully
,believe,
, ..„
that the sacred. Scri'p'tures our ConfeSSion
of. Faith, our Catechisms„ and • the great
body, of, Christian Churches in all: time,

ship' entitles to membership in the'ghurch
of, .God. I believe, that.,the, 'commission
Which, as , a pastor,, L hold ; from j'esus
Christ, requires me to receive all such,, and
to fellowship them. In receiving,members
into the Church, canuot,, require more,
nor accept less than this, withotit,asl con=
ecive, violating the express languageofAhe
commission under which I act, (See
xxviii: 19 ,- 2 0) - -
In conformity withthese large and:Scrip
tural views Mr. 'D'Avinsoit ' , then'avows
that in 'total' disregard of the deliverances
of his brethren in the General : Assembly,
he has
,admitted , te sealing ordinances, per
sons who retain- 'connexion. with- Churches
which hold to doctrines inconsistent With
their 44 distinetivc princiPles," and Oat he
will. do so, again; that he has admitted
members of Secret Societies.twhia church,
though he himself is opposed to 'such' So
theties, 'and that he Will do so 'agaii3.
DAVIDSON,Mrs who is a rising minister
of considerable promise, brilliant' in the
pulpit an& in ecclesiastical : debate, an d of
great earnestness and decisien of Character;
seems to have anticipated thatthis free and
frank avowal `Of sentireent r like the torch
of the visitor to the interior .of: the Pyra
mids,• would diaturb the dust Of ages; .and
perhaps create considerable fluttering among`
a certain class of his brethren. He does
not flinch, howeVer . ,,fiern any: of his , posi
tions, nor, hesitate to meet their utmost
consequences. Thus he concludes :•• •
"If, after this free and 'full eonfesiion,
nothing is done with me I shall feel free
to pursuethe even"tenor of my way,` and
shall believe' that l'have 'violated no la*

The answer wai givemthrough the news

"Where there's .a will, there's .a way."
The 'most impressive illustration of the
matter before us, is furnished.in the testi

great concourse was present, including many of
the most distinguished. of, the literati ,of New-.
England. President Felton conferred the degree
of .Bachelor of Arts upon one hundred and five
members of the Graduating Class. The degrees
of Masters of Arts, Doctors in. Medicine, Bach
' elors in Science, and Bachelors of Laws, were
'conferred on one - hundred-and airty-seven gen
llemenit of various classes, some dating as *far
back as the Class of 183/ The Ecclesiastical
relationship of 'the members of this last gradu
ating Giulio as follows:
Ch. Dlembtrs
Unitarianis.andllniversalists:
Episcopalians, 17 „2 ,
Oxford Onagragriiionalists,, 14 10
Baptists; 9 7
MetliodiSts,'' • ' ' ;. 3 1 -
Spiritualists, 3 2.

Total, ~106 ;,,.2g :
The following honorary degrees were colt-

D.D.,; Hcin. William B. Reed, of Philadelphia;
John Lathrop Motley, of
: Boston ; Lord Lyons,
British Minister at Washington'.
Doctor of Divinity-LBishop Alfred , Lee, of Del
aware ; Rev.' Thomas Rill, President of Antioch
College ; Rev. William Brock; of London.
Four Ex-Presidents: of the Institution were on
the platform, viz., Messrs, fluincey, Sparks, Ev
, erect,, and Walker. 'Rarely, pis such a., sight,wit
nesse& at, any College Cemmencemeist. ,The cer
emony of the induCtion of,'Prof. e." C. Felton to :
the:President's, Chair, was,quite imposing;
At half-past. eleven the procession was formed
at Gore Hall, and, proceeded to the First Congre
,gational,church. First,came,.he Marshals and
the inidergradriates; folloWed by the Alumni; the
'Librariantenring with a sort of mediMval pout:
pousness, the College- seal and charter; =the
Steward,.with the College keys; the, Harvard
Faculty ;
,the ex presidents. and ea-professors, of
the'College present ; the orator 'of the day; with,
the-'President' of the Alumni ; Governer Banks
and Mr. Felton; walking together; the Lieuten
ant-Governor ;, President of the Senate;;, and the'
Speaker ,of, the House of Representatives, the
Mayors of Boston and Cambridge ,arid invited
guests closing; the ranki. Entering the church;
the::generic's' of Whielt were filled by ladies, in
spite of the , rein; the 'Librarian deposited the
charter OR a stand near the pulpit„where.every
one could see it ; and after music by. the brigade,
band, and Luther i s hymn sung, by,,the College,
chair, 'President, Stearns '
of Amherst College;
opened exercises with praYee - 'A Latin ora-'
tion; -by Mr. MeDiniels, of the senior . elass,ffol
lowed; and then Governor Banks addressed Pro
fessor Felton; presenting, o him the charternrid
keys. of Harvard, as symbols of his new Office
arid authority, and happily alluding to the thfrty
years' connexion of Mr. Felton with the College •
as:student; tutor, alumnus, and professor in dif:
ferent departments. He spoke of the past pres 7,
;dents: end their hittory,. Of the custom never yet,
broken, by which the Governor Of' the :Emmen
wealth; ex-officio, hasinvariably,inaugurated the
Presidents of Hariard,. and in conclusion said to
Mr.-Felton : I present to you the
_charter end
the keys of the. College, and, in the .name ofothe
corporation and overseers, the ,name. of this,
assembly, I salute you as President of the 'Uni
versity at Cambridge" •
The reply of Professor, nc;W . President, Felton,
was happy and effective. His inaugural address,
was then delivered. .He opened with an allusion
to' the- responsibilities of his new position, and
compliments to his 'predecessors. After this, he
glaiteed over the history:of the College, and set,
forth the relations of studerits, T the need of dis
cipline, and the objects of' College' life. The
styli of composition was almost faultless, and
the ge,neral tone elevated, but it, would have been
eiceedingly•gratifying' if more prominence had,
been,giveri to the great matter of religion. The
address to the Alumni, was.delivered by the Rev.
Dr.,Osgood, of Hew -York.; There were, no less,
than 138 applications, for admission to the Col
lege. The -Library. new
,contains 91,509 volmnes,
and 50,000 pamphlets, exciusive of, duplicates:,
The Prince of Wales has, been invited,to visit,the
institution, and the Boston papers say, that tho
invitation has been accepted. • , •

before that time they had never exceeded $52,-
0041' This is a large sum to be raised in a single
month, but still it may be done.

CHICAGO ZOZAVE MMITARY COMPANY', uniformed
and ••drilled somewhat after the style of the
French Zonaves that gained so much credit to
themselves in the:Xrimean war, and that did
such terribleexecution in the Italian war of last
Summer, The odd,dress mid peculiar manoeuvres
attracted the attention of thousands, and what
ever may be the merits of their military charac
ter, they have some peculiarities deserving of
imitation in New York and many , other places.
It is not often that a' body of over sixty young
men. can be found so perfectly irreproachable in
their morals and general conduct. The rules
under which they, serve are stringent in the ex
treme, ,and forbid gambling, drinking, and even
on' penalty of expulsion. It is
greatly to the credit of the Zowrves that they
should thus ,voluntarily renounce all temptation
,
to be led astray; nor is it surprising that they,
after this. exhibition of moral courage, should
prove themselves to be one of the most gallant
and efficient corps in the: military service of the
country.
A great SITBJECT or 'ANXIETY, at present, with
philanthropists and Christians, is the condition
of the forty thousand children in this city who
are either petty thieves or beggars, or, because
honieless and friendless, must, unless speedily
rescued, resort to theft or beggary to escape
starvation. • Every year, as reliable statistics
shoir, there'are born, in the city of New-York,
front six thousand'to ten thousand children, un
der such ,circumstances as ensure the death of
one-half of them - within their first year of life,
and of three 7 fourths before they reach the age of
ftveyears,,and ; the growing . up of the larger part
of the survivors, crippled in health and contam
inated in =or*. This is certainly a frightful
picture.
MEI
For children above five years of age, , schools
like, the Ragged §chools and Refuges of London,
Edinburgh and Glasgow, and to some extent, the
Industrial Schools now happily multiplying,
afford- some relief.. Cleanliness, purer air and
more; comfortableclothing are provided for in
these schools; and in *some of• them, one meal a
day, of 'Wholesome food. There is not, however,
sufficient attention paid to the ventilation, in
most of them. In London, twenty-five thousand
•of the children-of the poor are provided for by
these institutions, a large portion of whom are
fed clothed:and ledged, and cared for entirely,
by which meitis many thousands have been saved
from death, 'fiem'suffering, crime, and moral
degradation' worse than death, and made useful
inembere: of " ea'Aety. '
In the thrionv or TRINITY CHURCH, by Dr.
Berrien, appears ; that that church, was not as
exclusive ;in, former times respecting other de
noMinatiens; as at present. In the year 1779,
upon ,ita being represented to the Vestry
that. file„yt)id Dutch church was -used as a
hospital, : by , the royal, troops, ” the corpo
ration, d impressed with a grateful remem
brance sifithe Sormer kindness of, the members
of •thet,ancient church, in permitting the use of
their Churchlo_the members .of .th.e Church of
England, when they had no proper edifice of
their- own - for. that purpose; :offer to 'the-members
of the ancient Dutch church the use of St.
Georges Chapel, for celebrating their worship on
Sunilkys, and such ;other times, as they shall
ch6OielteParform seivice.;? -' In= the fol
