C:Zi our writers generally omit our state debts, lind in estimating the taxes we pay, too, .hey generally overlook the State taxes. We ought to look our difficulties full in the At the close of last year the debts of the States were $264,921,272; they must be now much more. To these, too, we must add the debts of the cities. The annual interest on the absolute debts of the States on the Ist of January was 811,385,- 665, and, .the annual expenditures . of,Sto States, exclusive 'of 'debte and schools; votte $6,835,000. Deducting the productive property of the States from their debts, $117,000,000, which, by the way, is not very prpductive, we should probably,, have not uitrch less then slso,ooo,ooo.Aif•;Slate indebtedness to be added to the United States debt, to make up the whole sum which is to bo provided for by taxation di rect or indirect.

Immense TUIIIICL—A tunnel is in process of erection under the bed of the river In dus, in India. It is to be 7 1 - 15 feet long, and lighted by gas. 'The loit will not be less than $2,500,000. Geological Upheaval.—The whole of the land in the neighborhood of Conception Bay, Newfoundland, is gradually rising, and sev eral of the' harbors on the coast will soon become unnavigable. The Smithsonian Institute.—The whole amount of Smithson's bequest deposited in the Treasury of the United States, is SMS,- 169, from which an annual income, at six per cent., is derived of $30,910.14. The expenditures have been kept below the re oeipts, and a surplus fund of $141,100 has been accumulated. This is invested prin cipally in Indiana, Virginia, and Tennes see stooks, and has yielded an annual in come of $7,716. The principal portion of this is expended for publications, re searches, lectures, library, museum, and gallery of art. • PRESBYTERIAL NOTICES.

The Wonderful Lamp," or, Light for the Darkest Path." This little volume of 239 pages, is one of a ‘' Series for Youth," issued by the Presbyterian Board of Publication in Philadelphia. Its lead ing object is to illustrate the influence of the bible upon human °bander; 'end the transform ing power of its contents over those who take it US " a LAMP unto their feet. and a light unto their path." The work is written in the form of nor ive. The characters are well and skillfully drawn, and happily adapted to exhibit the power of Divine truth upon the heart and the disas trous effects of refusing to admit this heavenly light in the soul. The book is especially adapt ed the young, and to the indigent and suffer ing poor. Let it not be overlooked by those who ;11T seeking for "gift books" suitable to be pre sented to their young friends, or their afflicted neighbors, at this season of the year. D. Pittgburgh. Col. Wynooop's Cavalry Regiment, from Har risburg for Louisville, passed through our city last week, taking steamers on Saturday. The Gazette thus speaks ,of.the excellent arrangement, by our citizens, for Supplying the immediate wants of the passing soldiers:. The regiment was received in a most hospi table manner by the Subsistence Committee, who had prepared for them a substantial repast at the City Hall. Ten tables verb spread, the entire length of the Hall, and at these eleven hundred hungry men were fed at one time! Some four hundred loaves of fresh bread were consumed, with hot coffee by the hundred gallons, and but ter, crackers, sausages, &0., in proportion. "A large number of ladies was present, and through their care and titi.'ention the supper was hastily Prepared and well 'served. The men ate like soldiers and behaved like gentlemen, and left the hall full of—praise for thle ladies!" Every regiment which passes through our city, either way, is entertained at the Hall, if our Com mittee is duly notified... GEN. NEGLEY'S Baia ans.—We often hear of Gen. Negley and his men, in ,pptuoky. They aro at the post of danger, on the way to Bowling Green, ready to do their duty. THE Bin ?elosaans.—Six of the immense mor t:,rs cast at the Fort Pitt Works, in.. this city, bay° been landed at Philadelphia, and_shipped on board a vessel for the Brooklyn Navy Yard at. INew-York. These mortars are three feet and von inches in diameter, and four feet, six inches in length, and will throw a bomb shell thirteen inches in diameter. Their weight is nearly two tons. RAILROAD OIPENED.—The new railroad from Cresson to Ebensburg, was opened last week. Thirteen miles of the Clearfield and Tyrone road have also been opened—from Tyrone to Sandy it idge. The road will be opened to Phillipsburg early in the Spring, which will be its terminus nutil times get better. Battle at Drainesville, near Washington. WAsniNcrolt, Pito. 20.—This morning, at six o'clock, a portion of Gen. McCall's Division pro- - ' cceded in the direction of, Drainesville, on a for aging expedition, and for the purpose of making' a reconnoissance in that locality. Drainesville is about midway between McCall's headquarters and Leesburg. On arriving in that vicinity they encountered the enemy ; who had four regiments of infantry, composed of South Carolinians, Alabamians and KentuckianS, , With one battery of six pieces, and a regiment of cavalry under the command of Gen. Ste Wart - , The troops on our part engaged in the affair at Drainesville, were Gen. Ord's brigade, the first regiment of Ri fles, and Easton's battery of four guns. At four o'olock, after the action, Gen.' McCall sent two officers to count the rebels who were killed and wounded, and it was ascertained that they left, on the field fifty-seven killed and . twenty-two wounded, Three of thg,,,latter died on being' rentoYed, - making thei.i?roSsmiaty.killed UM nineteen wounded; making a total of sev enty-nine killed and wounded; and they no I toubt carried off many more. They also left, nine horses killed or disabled. s The enemy were completely routed, and fled precipitately after a fight of an hour and a half, leaving two cannon and a quantity of small arms, blankets, great coats, & 0., more than our troops could bring away. • Our men also brought in some prisoners be sides the wounded. Our loss is, as near as can, be ascertained at present, about ten killed and fifteen wounded. The expedition returned to their camp at Langley's, at nine o'clock to-night. Gen. McCall, in a dispatch received:4g' head quarters, to-night, says too much credit cannot ho given to Gen. Ord, for his gallantry" and skill throughout the day. Baston's battery was admi rably served, and did good execution. The Ri- ties, also, behaved finely. During 'the slaMpade of. the rebels, eight ;of them were taken prisoners, and brought to Washington. to-day. They state that they left Centreville, very early on Friday morning, in eviler to obtain forage, and very unexpectedly met with our troops, whc,be.d proceeded to the seine point on similar bti in es. They also said there was a large number of killed, on the part of the rebels, than we supposed. The victory on the part of our troops-is con sidered the more brilliant, as they had never be fore been in action.: They have been highly couiplimented , both by Major-General McClellan mill General Meal'. Congress. DECEMBER 1 8.--Surwrz.—The day was occu pied in offering resolutions, &c. House.—A. sent was refused to C. H. Foster, of North Carolina, there being no sufficient evi dence of his being chosen by the people. No important action was taken on public af fairs. DEC. 19.---SENATE.—Mr. Wiley, of Va., offer ed a resolution declaring strongly against the course of the South, in their rebellion. House—Thu bill providing for the construc tion of twenty iron-clad gunboats, was taken up and passed. They will cost from ten to fifteen millions of dollars. pr.c. 20.—SENATE.—A, joint resolution was passed, recognizing the gallantry of Gen. Lyon and the soldiers under his command, at Spring field. Mr. Harris, of N. Y., reported a bill to pro hibit the sale of liquors to soldiers in the Dis trict of Columbia. The bill is an amendment to the former bill on this subject, and - prohibits not only the sale to soldiers, but drinking on the premises. The penalty is a fine and imprison ment, and revocation of license. The bill was passed. House--Mr. Stevens, of Pa., reported a bill appropriating $150,000 to complete the defences of Washington. Passed. The House passed the Senate bill providing for the transmitting of allotments of volunteers to their families and friends. Each State is to appoint three persons to visit the several departments of the army to recive the money. The provision of the former law allowing liens to sutlers on sol diers' pay is repealed, and all regulations on the subject abrogated beyond the rules and articles of war. The House alsq passed the Senate bill author izing the appointment of general Court Martial, in time of war, etc. Mr. Holman, of Ind., introduced a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Committee on Military Affairs to - report a bill, amendatory of the 'present laws so as not to exclude in the ap pointment of chaplains any religious Societies. He mentioned that at present Jewish Rabbies, are excluded, notwithstanding there are large numbers of Hebrews , in the army. Due. 28.—SENATE—A bill was passed appro• printing $1,500,000 to building gunboats on the Western waters. Also a bill authorizing the connecting of some of our naval stations by submarine telegraph. A bill to increase the number of cadets at West Point, from 170 to 350, was offered, and laid Over. The bill from the House, increasing the duty on coffee, tea, and sugar, was passed. HOUSE—Mr. Vallandigham presented a strin: gent bill on the subject of suspending the writ of .habeas corpus, reserving the power wholly to Congress. It was referred to the Committee on * the Judiciary. Mr. Morrill, of Vt:, from the Committee on Ways and Means, asked leave to report a bill to increase the duties on• tea, coffee and sugar. In proposes a duty on tea of all kinds of twenty cents per pound.; on coffee, five cents; and su gars 211 e, 3c, and tic, according to quality. Mo lasses six eents per gallon. Mr. Vallandigham objected. Mr. Morrill said that this bill was simply in accordance with the recommendation of the Sec retary of the Treasury. It was supposed that the incomes proposed would, yield seven or eight millions of dollars, provided the same quantities of the article be imported as in 1860. The bill ought to be passed, at once, in order to secure the sugar crop immediately coming into the country, and the tea and coffee soon expected to arrive. The price of these articles have already risen in anticipation of the passage of this bill. So the consumers pay just as if the bill was already a law of the land. , The Committee on Ways and Means intend bringing in a supplemental tariff bill for the further increase of the revenue, when the general subject will come up for discussion. The bill was passed—yeas 77; nays 29. Mr. Moorhead, of Pa., introduced a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Committee on the Judiciary, to report a bill providing that any person or persons engaged or employed in the present rebellion, be 'forever rendered inca pable of holding any dam of trust under the Constitution and laws of the United States. The House adjourned till Thursday. Washington. DEC. 18.—The proclamation of Gen. Phelps, at Ship Island, is condemned by all classes of politicians. It was hie individual act, and must, therefore, be regarded accordingly. Gen. James H. Lane, of Kansas, has been ten dered the position of Brigadier-General by the President. [He was confirmed unanimously by the Senate.] Gen. Kelly has daily skirmishes with the Con federate advance, but he progresses steadily and slowly toward Winchester. Dec. 19.—As the subject of abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia is now agitated, it may be of general interest to know that,, accord ing to the reoent census, the number of slaves in Georgetown is 577 ; in Washington, 1,744, and in the remainder of the District, 834,_making total of 8,185. The number of free blacks in the District is 11,131. The total pOpulation is 61,122. The Joint Committee to inquire into the con duct of the war, consists of Senators Wade, Chandler, and Johnson, of Tennessee, and Repre sentatives Gooch, Covode, Julian and Odell. Deo. 20.---The promotions and appointments in the United States army, made by the President since the publication of General Orders, No. 68, of August 27th last, have just been promulgated. From this pamphlet it appears that there have been two hundred and fifty promotions and six hundred and fifty appointments of all kinds, in addition to sixty Brigadier-Generals of Volun teers, the whole number being about one hundred and ten. Among the declinations is James Shields, of California,' to be Brigadier-General. The appointments as aids-de=camp to Major- General McClellan number thirty-two; thirty one. officers have been honorably retired under the law upon that subject. - Last Monday there were thirty seven resigna tions of volunteer officers in the army of the Po tomac, and on Wednesday twenty-four, or about seventy-five during the week. A few of them resigned for the purpose of accepting higher ap pointments in regiments other than those to which they were originally attached. A-private letter from Fort Pickens states that the rebels threw into that stronghold during the late bombardment, six hundred shells, only nine of which exploded. They were all of English make. Gen. Butler hits indignantly repudiated all re sponsibility for Gen. Phelps' proclamation. If any conference has taken place between Lord'Lyons and Secretary Seward, it has been of an informal and confidential character, as no offi cial communications have passed between them 'with reference`io the Trent affair. " The steamship Erricsson, Copt. G. A. Cole, from Port Royal, has arrived at Fortress Monroe. The Erricason left Port Royal on Wednesday. She towed seven of the stone-fleet to Charleston 'on that day, and nine others followed under sail. When she left, at 10 P. M., operations were about to, be begun to sink the vessels. They were towed to a point about a mile outside of the bar, where six gun-boats were ready to place them in position. Operations against Warsaw Island were in pro gress, but nothing had been accomplished when the Erricsson left. She will leave for iiew-York on Monday. It is believed, from all that can be gathered, that the rebel force in front of our lines opposite Washington, numbers at least one hundred thou sand man. A letter. from a citizen in the Western part. of Noith Carolina to a friend in Washington has passed the rebel lines, and was to-day placed in the hands of Gen. McClellan. It brings the clearest confirmation yet received that there is a large and determined organization of Unionists in that State. They are putting themselves in communication with the Unionists of East Ten- nessee, and await only the dawn of hope for a 'general rising. They expect a reinforcement of Brownlow by the National forces, and will accept that movement as the signal for their own action. A trial was had on Thursday of Dr. Braine's revolving rifled oannon; near Bladensburg, be fore the Military Committee of the Senate and House, Gen. Barry, and several other distin guished artillery officers., The gun, the barrel of whioh is opened into slits, instead of being solid as in the ordinary cannon. fired with the' greatest rapidity and strength, and demonstrate& the fact that the only obstacle to a successful re volving cannon is now removed, and that the single barrel thus constructed can never g 0 hot from the rapidity of discharges. A new cartridge, the invention `'of' Dr. Barth olow, a surgeon f the army, and supposed to possess extraordinary merit, having been.brought to the attention of,Gen. M'Clellan, he raised _a Board - of 'officers, to test it - and reports leExperi. merits were made at the arsenal on Wednesday and Friday, which proved in the highest degree interesting and satisfactory. The cartridge is; composed of the simple Mini 6 bullet, attached to t 'the' bait+ of which is the explosive componntl - in solid mass, neatly fitting the flare of the gun, PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1861. and in quantity not exceeding the length of the bullet. This, cartridge is perfect in this shape. It has no wrapping - whatever, but is simply in serted in the muzzle of the gun and rammed home ; when, with a cap fired, the charge is fired. The explosive material is water-proof and very powerful. It gives to the bullet a penetra ting power ,equal, if not superior, to the best gunpowder. Much, interest is excited by the circulation of a pamphlet explanatory of Secretary Chase's system of finance, the. arrangement and details being to show that by its adoption not only would the strength of the Union be increased, but the country rendered entirely independent of foreign capital. Two vessels, loaded with forage for the Gov ernment, arrived at Alexandria yesterday, and two to-day, having successfully run the block ade. These are the pioneers of others, to 'ar rive, under contract with Col. Ingalls during his recent visit North. Of over forty overcoats thrown away by the retreating rebels at Drainesville,' only two were of woolen. Col. Thomas Francis Meagher has been ap pointed a Brigadier General of Volunteers. Should Col. Corcoran be released or exchanged, the Government will cqnfer a similar appoint sment upon him. It is said that on the night before the expedi tion to Barnesville, information was carried to the enemy at Centreville, and that a brigade left there about the same time ours left their camp. Hence the meeting and the fight. The Grand Army of Kentucky. It is estimated, from statistics that are reliable. than Genj Buell has, to-day, an army in the field of not less than one hundred and ten thousand men, to which the States of Indiana and Ohio are adding about two thousand daily, and to which they will add, by the consolidation and dispatch of regiments, fully thirty thousand men between this and the first of January. We be lieve, therefore, that with the beginning of the new year, Gen, Buell will have an army of one hundred and fifty thousand men. There are'now seven grand divisions, each containing three brigades, and the brigades made up of from three to five regiments, with artillery and cavalry attached. The brigades will average eight thou sand men throughout. The division command ers are, as we have been able to ascertain them 1. Gen. Alex. McDowell McCook, at Lebation. .2. Gen. George H. - Thomas,at Lebanon. 3. Gen. Ormsby M. Mitchel, at Elizabethtown. 4. Gen. William Nelson; at Newliaven. 5. Gen. Thomas L. Crittenden, at Calhoun. 6. Gen. Richard W. Johnson, at Nolin River. 7. Gen. Albin Schceplf, at Somerset. The commanders of brigades, include Gen. Kegley, of Pa. ; Gens. Dumont and Man son, of Ind. ; Gems Boyle, of Ky. ,• Cols. Turchin, Carrington, (18th regular) Sill, Lytle, etc. The troops are mainly concentrated in the central portion of the State—at Elizabethtown, New- Haven, Lebanon, Nolin River, etc., which are all, within a radius of twenty miles. Gen. Schcepfrs corps, at Somerset, forme the left wing of the army, and just beyond it, at London, is the Tennessee brigade of Gen. Carter, who have been let loose from other restraint and permitted to follow their own instincts: The right wing of the army oacupies the country along Green River, with headquarters at Calhoun, and fills the Gap between the centre and Federal positions at Pa ducah and Cairo. Regiments are also stationed at Lexington and along the Lexington and Cov ington Railroad; and at points on the Ohio Riv er below Louisville. There are now but few troops remaining in Louisville. The above we quote from an exchange, but re gard. the numbers, as being greatly exaggerated. From Missouri Gen. Pope has assailed the rebels, lately, in several places; and especially at Black Water, Clinton, and Warrensburg. On one of the occasions he captured 300 of them': On another, 1,300. Several smaller parties have been taken. The loss of life has not been severe on either side. Nearly two hundred heavily den wagons are already in our possession, to gether with a large quantity of ammunition, arms, a thousand horses, tents, camp equipage, Sze. The following telegrams are published Oryanvira,z, Dec. 23.—Part of the prisoners captured by Gen. Pope at Black Water, last Thursday, passed down last night on a special train. Among those sent down are Col. Magoffin, brother of Gov. Magoffin, of Kentucky; Col. Robinson, who had command of the rebel forces at Black Water, and who was in the battles of New Springs, Wilson's" Creek. and Lexington Col. Alexander, who says that he fought in all the battles; Lieut. Col. Robinson, Major Harris, Dr. Smith, one of the wealthiest men and largest slaveholders in Missouri, who has done every thing in his power to aid and comfort the enemy ; McKeown, Sheriff of Benton County, who, it is said, by misrepresentation, gained admission into one of our camps, made a diagram of it, and left, and that night the rebels made an attack and killed sixteen or seventeen of our men; Dr. Moore, of Syracuse, and many others, who have, gained notoriety by their zeal and labors in the secession army. The troops are again in possession of Lamine. We were absent on this expedition justfive days. In this time we marched about 100 miles in a di rect line from the place, and scoured the country through which we passed for a distance of forty or fifty miles on each side of the route, took about 1,500 prisoners, 1,000 horses and mules, 1,000 stand of arms, 100 wagons, and quantities of stores, supplies and clothing. ST. Louts, Dec. 22.—Dispatches received at headquarters say that the, command sent to Lex ington by Gen. Pope, burned two ferry boats and a foundry at that'place, and took two captains, one lieutenant and four men prisoners, and seve ral horses were captured. r Read the Prospectus of the New-York Ledger, in another column. It shows how real talent will thrive in spite of the times. The Ledger is the most successful paper ever 'pub lished, and has the largest circulation. See what Mr. Bonner says in his own advertisement. I,artign There have been several arrivals from Europe during the, last week. The latest is the Persia, with dates to the 15tli inst. The absorbing topic is the difficulty whickhas sprung up between England and the United States on account of the arrest of Mtison and Slidell, heretofore noticed. The English papers are less rabid than they were the previous week, but are still very hostile.- 'Messrs. Bright, Cob den, and a few other prominent men, have made speeches and counselled moderation. There is • yet no. G overnment: utterance ; but the sending of troops and arms to Canada, and of vessels of war to our coast and to the Gulf, indicates danger. On the arrival of the , news in Paris, relative to the arrest of the Confederate Commissioners, on an English vessel, Gen. Scott, who was in that. city at the time, wrote a letter to the American Consul, which was published, justifying our Government. ' This letter was liberal in its views, and had a very favorable effect, both in France and England. Gen. Scott.has just returned, un expectedly, and it is supposed that he is influ enced by some considerations of great import ance. The French papers, since the publication of the General's letter, have been mild in their comments on the United States. Prince Albert, the Prince consort, expired of gastric fever at noon on Sunday. The Liverpool' Mercury, of the 19th, stated that reports prevailed in London that the Earl of Derby had been consulted by the Government, and approved of its policy in reference to the. American difficulty. It is suggested to ship owners to instruct the captains of outward bound ships to signalize any English vessels, that war with America is prob able. This suggestion is strongly approved of by underwriters. The Australasian sailed for Liverpool on the 19th, with troops from Canada. Commerrial.

For many years he had been largely , engaged in steamboat operations, and was familiarly known in every city and town along the Ohio and Misfissippi rivers as far as St. Paul, on the Arkansas' river as far tittle Rock, and on the rivers of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Texas.

Mrs. C. emigrated to this country inlBso;from Marlston, Berwickshire, Scotland. This mother in Israel had almost reached her threescore and ten years. Early - in life she began to love her Saviour, with a love that increased to the end of her days. Jesus was the theme oilier song by'day, and the subject of her thoughts by night. In her journey through this '''yttle; of Mars she looked to him for comfort, and found it. Nor did he forsake her when she come to the dark valley; she entered it leaning on his mighty imin. Mrs. C.''s children and children's chil dren mourn the absence of ono .of the best of mothers. In the sanctuary, too, she is missed; her presence was cheering to her pastor, and her place was rarely unoccupied. In vain de we look now for that venerable forrn—her seat is vacant. She has left us. we trust, to enter the upper sanctuary,where liar voice has been tuned to sing in higher and sweeter strains the song of redeeming love. 'And now in the presence of Wm alms+) much loved on earthy she joins that blood washed throng as they shout, "My Saviour, my ;everlasting DIED—At Wilk - Malang, December fitb, of consumption, Mrs. MARTHA RD. HASTINGS; wife of Rev. John K. fleeting% pastor of the church of Beulah. Km. Hastings was the eldest daughter of . bildward ISPDon aid, Esq., of Washington Co., Pa. Her death brings intense anguish to a devnted -husband, irreparable lose to two little children, and deep sorrow to a large -circle of relitions tnd friends.. Any attempt at mere eulogy, in this obituary notice, were a vain and needless offering to deParted worth. The highest praise of the deceased is contained in the simple record of her Meekness and piety, her active and useful life; and happy and triumphant death. Wes birth was that of a child of the covenant--her training was in the household of piety, watcic fulness, and prayer ; and of these, her entire subsequent life evidenced the happy fruits. . In early life she connected herself with the people of God, by a profession of faith in the Redeemer; and from this pe riod the amiable traits of her natural disposition,-as sancti fied by the Spirit, were exemplified, in an unvarying con sistency and humility, and a quickened zeal and activity in the cause of Christ. frer marriage, in 1849, with the Rev. Mr: Hastings, brought her into the new 'and trying relation of pastor's wife, to meet its duties and tolls, its open doors of labors and usefulness. She entered upon the new position appreciating correctly both its difficulties and importance; and by her cheerful and earnest spirit, her Christian and loving sympathy, won for herself the confidence and affec tion of the congregation. It is their united testimony that but few ever better * strengthened the hands of a husband, in the work of the ministry, or more affectionately and accept ably performed the numerous duties of her position. .Their kindness and repeated acts of sympathy and attention, dur ing her : protracted sickness, and their sorrow and sincere lamentation at her death, attest the strength and depth of their attachment. The end ot such a life, as might, have been expected, was calm and triumphant. The grainal invasion of disease ad monished her to took forward to the inevitable issue. At first she.was fearful ot full preparation for the solemn event; nor was it easy, as, she said, weeping, to give up husband, chil dren, a happy home, and beloved friends. lint realizing the truth of the gracious promise, "As thy day is, so shall thy strength be," she gradually gained the triumph over all that bound her to earth, and over the fears inspired at first by the prospect of death. Divine grace scattered the clouds, bright ened the prospect, and by a strengthened faith enabled her willingly to trust her loved ones in the care 'of her covenant' Lord; and for hermit; to desire "'to depart and be with Christ." Thus the fear of death was taken away, and when the blessed Saviour came, she neither feared nor delayed to go with him through the dark "valley of the shadow of death;" but trusting with great peace and hope upon the atonement of Jesus, her happy spirit was freed• from earth and received into glory. .

Her mind was impaired, and the infirmaties of so great an age were upon her; but her re liance upon Christ was firm, and in hope of heaven through his time, she comfortably died. . A. O. .DIED—On the httt inst., in her 26th year, MisaALMIBA P., only daughter of Abraham Hays, of Lebanon, Allegheny County, Pa.. For some years past her once vigorous amthealthful con stitution had been in .e. measure impaired, and a manifest tendency to pulmonary decline had often aroused the fearful apprehension, on the part of those around her, that her so ciety here would not long be enjoyed. But yet sudden be yond all anticipation was her departure from earth ; for on the dth inst., in nearly her usual state of health, she had par ticipated with the family in the.morning meal, and on the next day, at a little past mid-day, she was gone. Sudden, however, as her summons was, the messenger fourid tier ready. She had devoted her life to the service of God, and her work was done, and well done. She welcomed 'every indica tion•of her approaching dissolution, and was ready, yea de sirens, to depart and to be with Christ; and seldom has it been oar privilege to witness to an equal extent the triumphs, of grace in a dying hour. ' At first, as her disease assumed its fatal appearance, the thought of parting with her parents, and 'her : only brether, all of whom she most tenderly loved, was a painful one, and: as she said, constituted the only thorn in her 'dying pillow. Butes she approached nearer her dissolution, the triumphs of her faith and the transport of her, joy, in view of what she saw so near before her, raised her above these painful thoughts; and having dravvn from each 'of them lored ones a promise to live for Christ, and to meet her in heaven, - she . gave them a matt affectionate and touching farewell, and . then, with a clasp of her own hands, with a smile playing upon her lips, and with a countenance lighted up as if by a glow of, refulgence from the spirit land, she mildly ey,;, claimed, "They ate coming for me now; I begirt to see their robes, and to hear their music." And very soon she was asleep in her Saviour's arms. A. O. R.

While other papers have been cempelled to economies--to cut down the size of their sheets, and print on a poor quality of paper, we * have, on the other hand. been enabled to keep up to the highest point of excellence, in every respect, and to avail ourselves of all the improvements and novelties which would tend to the entertainment and gratification of our 'readers. We have never offered any, humbug premiums to secure subscribers, for the reason that we have preferred to put merit, or premium, into the paper itself, and• in that way give every reader more than the worth of his money. Besides, nine out of every ten papers that have offered premiums have been swindling concerns, and ,every Paper that has anything to do with that sort of thing is sure to die. They are norconducted on sound busi ness principles. . The fo.lowing are the names of some of our leading con tributors fOr the new - year-102. What other paper ever presented. suelt an array of distinguished and popular names: HON. EDWARD EVERETT, REV. JOHN B. O. ABBOTT, WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, A. GAHM BALL, Joan G. SAXE, GEORGE P..

Doeur, Mint Sumer Gosoz, and many clergymen, professors in colleges, statesmen, and other eminent writers residing in different parts of tke Union. Our corps of contributors for the coming year will be so large, and will embrace such. a variety of eminent talent, that every department of literature will receive the particu lar attention of some -one competent to do it ample and special justice. - l.n fact, our contributors will send us from week to week lunch more matter than we can possibly use, so that. we shall always have a fresh and superabundant sup ply front which to select the very best. The Ledger's great success is owing to the fact that we spare no expense in getting up the best family paper—a pa per of high moral tone. The exalted reputation of its con tributors, the practical and invariably pure and healthy character of all its articles, the care which is taken that not even one offensive word shall appear in its columns, and the superiority. of its Tales and Sketches, have gained for the New-York Ledger a position that no literary paper has ever before reached. , As this is , the season of, the year when Postmasters and others are in the habit of forming clubs, we direct their par ticular attention to ECM Single copies, $2 per•annusni two copies, $.2; four copies, $6 ; eight copies, $l2. Postmasters' and Others who get up clubs can afterwards add single copies at $1.50. The party who sends.us st 2 for a club of eight copies will be entitled to a copy free.'
