PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11,1860.
Having purchased for our glee ' the " Right &W.
Dick's Accountant and Dispatch Patent, all, or nearly 414
of our subscribers now have their papers addressed to them:
regularly by a singularly titgique machine, which fastens
on the white margin a small catered 46 address stamp," or
label, whereon appears their name plainly printed, followed
by the date up to which they havaid for their papers—this
being. authorized , by an ; Act o f' Congress. The date will
always_ be advance d on. the receipt of subscription money,
in' exact accordance with the amount so received, and thus
be an ever-ready and 'cated receipt; Securing to every one,
and at all limes,"a*rfeet knowledge of his stawsPallbr ac
count. so that if any error is made he can immediately de
tect it and hate it corrected—a boon alike valuable to the
plaWaher and tubicriber, as it must terminate all painful
misunderstandings . between them respecting accounts, and
thus feud to perpetuate their important relationship.
IMpOSitiO inadvertently, publish
ed, last week, a notice relative to Washing-
College, over the signature of" James ;
Black, See." There were several things in
it that struck us'as being a little singular,'
but still, it had the appearance of genu
ineness. We now learn that it was utterly
an imposition. The meanness of the man
who could do such a thing is contemptible,
and we• hope he may be discovered. and ex
posed.
REY. Ii EI% C. FOSTER.
Mr. FOSTER :S'lU a graduate of Williams
College, and took his theological course at
Princeton.. He was settled at Red-Mills,
Putnam County, N. Y.,' in 1854. His
health was habitually feehle. Seeking its
restoration, he undertook 'a Western tour,
and travelled as far as St. Paul, Minnesota.
His physical energies yielded to the toils
of the journey, and in nine days after
reaching St. Pant he died.
A correspondent of the PrestAterian
speaks of .as , being possessed of fine
preaching abilities, and holding a high so
cial position.
INDIVIDUAL , DUTY RESPECTING THE CON-
Minn OF THE WORLD.
This' is the title of a sermon preached by
Rev . . R. L. STAN ToN D.P., of Columbus,
Ohio, before the General Assembly, at
Rochester, in behalf of the Board of For
eign Missions. The sermon is founded up
on Acts ix : 6—" Lord, what wilt thou have
me to do ?" ' This is the inquiry - of a new
born soul. His first desire is for knowl
edge, leading to activity. The converted
Saul recognizei, :Tesis as his Master, and
would enter at once .upon a' service. And
Bich is the aspiration and'consecration of
every new born soul. The Christian thinks
not of inactivity; nor of self-direction.
He gives himself to a work, and he takes
his instructions from his Lord.
The 'service which Christ requires, is
very extensive. It embraces all that a man
can do, for, himself, his family, the commu
nity, and the world. Paul was employed,
mainly, in carrying the Gospel to the hea
then.'
The proposttion which. Dr. STANTON
deduces from the:text is, that an obligation
it imposed by the Saviour upon -all the
members of his Church, without exception,
to be active laborers in his vineyard., He
then considers the Reality of this duty;
the Nature of the service involved ; the
*uses. against which-the service should be
guarded ; and' the Results likely "to - dow
from its full discharge. These topics are
ail ably treated. In discussing the latter,
the preacher shoe's that one result of the
fall and faithful , diseliarge of this duty by
the members of the Church would be, the.
securing 'of 'the Divine blessing in an ex-;
traordinery ,manner ; another would be, a
conviction on the part of the unbelieving
world, that Chriatianity is of God; and a
third would,be, a most po'we'rful influence
upon
the heathen.
1:)r. STANTON makes , some excellent re
marks upon the duty of the Church in ref
erenee to the-employing-of all her effective
force, in some , outward, .active service.
The, young and the ardent should especially
be called to labor, and wisely directed.
Their tendency to work is shown in their
readiness to enter Yo-ung Men's Christian
Associations.
,These do , much•good; but
much:more still might be done by their la
boring in the . Church in conjunction with
her Spiritual 'Officers and her experienced
members. •
JEFFMONIANS, AWAKING.
In our account of the late Commence
ment'at Jefferson College, Canonsburg, Pa.,
it willbe Seen.that there is quite an awak
eued. spirit in, the Trustees and Alumni,
relative to an increase, in the endowment,
in order to a greatly enlarged efficiency.
The number of Alumni present was not
very great, but they seemed to possess only
one mind, relative to the wants of their
loved and venerated 4/ma Hater, and one
spirit in regard to her best interests.
To place - her ifir a - griper basis, and duly
to elevate.her,in theliterary and scientific
world,- she needri a large increase of funds.
Her present' instructors are, a President
and five Professor& These gentlemen are
eminent, each in bis proper departinent;
and they are Officers wholly consecrated to
their work. Six ~men ;their superiors in
ability, altainments, and professional de
votedness, it Would be difficult to bring
any i
to
gether in institution . " "But they are too
few in number. There is pressing need for
two more teachers =just now, and there re
ally should be four more. - Ten teachers is
the smallest number that should 144egard
ed as satisfactory in an institution, em
bracing two, hun i 4xed„aUtl fifty pupils.
Jefferson toolc,„the., lead in education,
West of the Alggheriy Mountains. And
she'has kept it, wellPerforming'her part.
But ebe ceunoi.,,lOng icep it, without a

At the meeting of the - Alumni to which
we have alluded, Revs.' MICINNEY,
and Aufsort were appoiptd a committee
to attend to the College interests. The
Boird of Trustees appointed Revs. PRESS
EN', and ?AXTON, and J. P. STERRETT,
Esq., to cooperate with the Alumni Cora
mitiee, to seek theendowment of the Greek
Scholarship, and to raise funds ,to ,meet
other pressing,wants of the College ;

JEFFERSON COLLEGE
•
The Annual Commencement,siereises of
this, the oldest and most distinguished Col
lege West of the Alleghenies, were held
last week, and terminated to the entire
satisfaction of all. ,
The sermon before the religious Societies
was preached en Sabbath morning, the 29th
nit., by Rev. Moses A. Hoar, of Zanes
ville, Ohio, from Gal. vi : Faith
worketh by love' The sUbject deduced
was Christian philanthropY. This
.dis
course was able, practical, and exceedingly
well received. In the evening the Bacca
laureate was delivered by President ALDEN,
from " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and
his - righteousness " The'object of this
discourse was to . show that the pursuit ~of
holiness as a chief end, also promotes inci
dentally the highest mental I development,
intellectual, aesthetic, and' social 'This
sermon was in the usual felicitonS and
effective style-of the President. - -
• On Tuesd'ay afternoon? the address before
the Alumni was deliVered by the Rev. J.
J. MARKS, D.D., of the class 0f.r1830.
This address reviewed briefly thelistory
of Jeffersen College, more especially giving
the memories of the writer, Of th 6 Rev. Dr.
.Bao.wN--analyzed the characteristics of a
.man who left his ,impress sd deeply +on
Western Pennsylvania..
He gaVe as one of the sirifigs of the
Dr.'s influence, his broad, Summer-like
generosity of heart---despising' all that
was mean, ungenerous and . cruel—in all
things honorable, frank, and magnanimous.
Another feature of the- Dr. was his
love =of rare characters: He had' a red
epicurean pleasure in men who show pecu
liarities of mind, elevating' them above the
usual level of humanity. He was fond to
weakness of men of wit, humor; and graphic
talent. The Dr.'s own powers of conver
sation were of the highest order, and
never did he appear so' great and richly
endowed as in his heurs of conversational
ease.
He described - the Dr. as a man of sinz,mu
lar courage, cowering before no danger,;
a man who could never be trifled with nor
despised, because strong in his manliness.
Another secret of the Dr.'s power when
alive, and permanent influence when dead,
was his profound'reverence for the
And amain his manifest piety' shone in his'
prayerfulness—often spending entire nights
with God—and in consequence he was invest
ed to the eye of his students *ith'iionie of
that mysterious power and glory in whieh, to
the Jew, the High Priest appeared when he
came out of the Holy, of Holies—that the
students could not shake.off the impression
made by auch,a man.
He described_the Dr,as a man of varia
ble temper—to-day, the groaning, discour
aged prisoner in the Castle of Despair, and
to-morrow, .the exultant pilgrim on . the
Mountain of Delight, catching glimpses of
the 'glory of the heavenly , city. These
alternations of joy and sadness, ..of
tation and depresgion, more fully dus-;
played the many sides of his highly, gifted
nature, and made him: more fully known
and; appreciate& Thus his' evident piety
gave a . permanent power :to otherwise
transient excellences:
In conclusion, he paid a. short and most
deserving tribute to Prof._MILLER, and ,
alluded to the eminent attainments of Prof
SMITH, whom lie asserted to be one of the
first Greek scholars of the age; and lie ex
pressed the, hope that he might be long
spared a sacred link between the venerated,
historic past and the present.
Dr. MARKS then proceeded to give an
aecOunt of the subsequent history of the
members of his'elass, so far as it could be
obtained. In some respects this was a re
.
maikable class; the number 'of, its mem
bers was thirty-two; of these, twenty-two
became ministers of the Gospel, =six :of
whom went 'out as foreign missionaries.
'Of the latter, CLoyn died 'Africa.; M.
B. HOPE was a: missionary at'Singapore,
,and 4110 a Professor in Princeton 0011Pge';
JOSEPH'Krum. was a missionary to the
Welt Indians.; FitA.NCIS LAIRD - died in ,
Africa; F ThuN'NETVI"ON is now 'one of the
oldest missionaries of the - PresbYterian
Church in Northern India; and; JAMES
WILSON is also a missionary in Northern ,
India. Of 'the whole nuraber, ten are'
known to have died. A brother of the late
PHILIP BARTON KEY, Esq., who, fell by
the hand of Mr. SroitrAs, in, Washington
City, was a member of this' Class.
.died a Vagabond.
The a'ddref..s of Dr. MARK'S was very
happy, and highly appreciated by the
audience.
Following nextin order was the meeting'
of the Alumni, who repeated a copy of
that part 'of the addegi - of Pr MARKS
concerning Dr. BuowN,'for publication in
pamphlet form, and that the history of the'
Class be published in the 'Presbyterian
Banner. This meeting of the Alunini mos,
unusually interesting and spirited.
RneOnraging and earnest remarks. were
made by the Rev. Jouri PATTON,' bf
adelphia; Rev. JAMES ALEXANDER, D.D.,
Hon. JAMES VEECII, Of Uniontown, :Rev.,
J. L. VALLANDIGRAM., . Rev., jAmEs,
'BI,OAN, D.D.,• Rev. J. S. POMEROY and
`others. The necessity for the endo*ment
of: at leaSt two additional profesSorships
was admitted by all, and that the necessary
funds could. be secured was doubted' by
none. -A Committee consisting of Rev.
Drs. 'blcKil+tilEv ' and SMITH, and Rev.
JAMES ALLISON Was appointed to, confer
with theßoUrd of Trustees with respect .
to the propriety of appointing a ! general
agent and in other ways increasing the
funds `demaniled by the present . and pros
pective condition of the institution. The .
Trustees appointed Rev. VAL PiiTorr,
Rev. Dr. MCELWEE, and, Hon. WILLIAM
MCDANIEL a Committee of Conference:
Next morning the 'joint Committees report
ed to the Trukees, who appointed' Rev.
Dr. PRESSLY, Rev. WM. •M: PAXTON,
and JAMES P. STERRETT, ESQ., 8 COM

ness for usefulness. In 1796-7, we find
Ti. Graham :and Mr. and Mrs. Bethune uni
ting with several other - Christians of New
York in forming a' Society to send mission
aries among. the Indians; and the settlers
on the frontiers: 'This was, it is believed,
.the „first Missionary Society proper, organ
ized in this country.
It' is interesting to find Mrs. Graham
recording in the following year (1798) the
commencement of the first monthly r e i s _
sionary prayer meeting held in Americ a .
by.a,conpert of the Dutch, Presbyterian,
and. Baptist, churches, which met in each
others 'lo lies<<of worship. Through her
instrnmentality, the Widow's Society, an d
the New York' Orphan Asylum were organ
ized. in.lBo4.she instituted the first reg.
ularly established Sabbath' School ever or
ganizedirr New-York: - short, scarcely
tiny religious or philanthropic Society e x _
isted during the Active period of her lif e ,
which she was not an energetic and us e _
ful :member. At the time of her death she
Was a Member of the church of which the
- lite Rev - r jaMes W. Aleia.i3der was formerly
Amster..
.The . attachment between her and
Dr.f Alexander was of the most tender de
scription: ,She had a long line of pious
ancestors, among whom was a sister of
Knei ° the Seottish Reformer; and
now her memory is Wised.
PIIILADELPITIA.
The, Philadelphia Bulletin -computes the
-present POPIILA 'PION OP PENNSYLVANIA at
3,100,000, 'andlltiii estimate is made on the
T
supposition that the per centage of increase
since-'lB5O, will be the same,., thirty-four
per cent., as fit was;in the ten years from
1840 , t0- 1850. ~ T he rapid advance of the
- country is'striiinglfshown in this. Here
we have a single State in the confederacy of
thirty-three which is, in population, as large
as that of the Roman States before the recent
troubles; - It is nearly equal to that of
Portugar 'dr Holland, and larger than that
of either' of • the kingdoms of Denmark,
Saxony, "Hanover, -or Wurtembnrg. By
the'year, 1870, - if Pennsylvania progresses
as ihechas,done;.herlpopulation will exceed
4,000,000.
