DR. JOSEPH PARRISH, a well known
citizen of Philadelphia, who has volunteered
his services to. the Commission as a camp
inspector, has been assigned to Gen. Mc-
Call's division, and has entered upon his
duties.
THE REV. Da, Cox; of Baltimore? in
4
connexion :with the EpiseepakChurch; 'has
received a call to the Rectorship of St.
Mark's church in this city, lately vacated
by the departure of the Rev. Dr. Wilmer
to Secessiondom. Dr. Coxe is a son of the
Rev. Samuel Hanson Cox, D. D., of the
New School Presbyterian Church. He is
a man of much learning and considerable
ability, but one of the most intolerant of
High Churl:llOn. ;
THE LATE NEWS FROM SAN FRANCISCO
gives reason to believe that the Rev. Dr.
Wadsworth,, the aoceptable and popular
pastor of the Arch Street Presbyterian
church will soon leave for that city. We
make an extract from the • proceedings of a
meeting of the congregation of Calvary
Presbyterian church, San Francisco, called
to choose a successor to Rev. Dr. Scott, as
reported in the San 'Francisco Bulletin.
We learn that Dr. Wadsworth's acceptance
is expected, and that encouragement to
that effect has been given since the call
was made.
J. B. Roberts moved that a call be ex
tended to Dr. Wadsworth. The vote being
taken, every man and woman present-350
on count—rose. It Was.unanimously agreed
to call Dr. Wadsworth.
The next question was as to salary. Mr.
Roberts said that in his letter to Judge
Coon be had named $6,000 per annum, in
equal monthly instalments; and , all the ex
penses of removal of family, library, furni
ture, &c., to California. The meeting unan
imously agreed to offer those terms to Dr
Wadsworth.
It was agreed that a call should be made
out and left, Dr.EitrrOes; that Dr:
Wadsworth' should he notified that it was
there awaiting him, with a hope that he
would at once come on. Meanwhile Elders
Roberts, Thornton, and McKee, will prose
cute,the call before Presbytery.

In such times as these, it is cheering to
know that ,G9d has not forsak,en his Zion.
While some of the churches are speaking
of what the Lord is doing for them, Eben
ezer congregation would add her testimony
concerning the faithfulness of God. During
the year, fifty-three have been added to its
communion .; thirty-five of whom were added
on et:airtinWo r d. IVl'h& Lord hath done
great things for us, whereof we are glad."
Permit me also to mention the great
kindness of the people to the pastor and
his wife. Not only have they been. encour
aged by the kind greeting, of their people,
but during the year 'hat'et been made the
recipients of many presents. These, during
the week of the new year, have increased
to such an extent that room can scarcely
be found to stow them away. The presents
themselves aie 'valuable; bui when we
eonsider the spirit in which they wel.e
given, and the purpose for which they were
given, they have a value which cannot be
estimated. That the Lord will bless the
eongregatiop, not only ~a, competent
perticitiiifilte'good thinks ,itif life, but
with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus,
is the sincere prayer of the pastor.

MESSRS. EDITORS : Dear 'Brethren—
It is just two months, to-day, since our reg
iment was mustered into the service of the
United States. " Mustered in!" Whitt a
solemn ceremony I Company by company
the men are marched into the presence of
the Mustering Officer, and there, with hand
uplifted to the throne' of God, Catholics,
Quakers, and all who enter the service,
laying aside their accustomed forms of
" taking the oath," solemnly swear to be
obedient to their officers and loyal to the
Government of the United States. It is an
impressive Beene . ; and when I witnessed it,
and then took the oath inyself, ho* my
heart wished that all our armies were mus
tered into the holy service of the great Cap
tain of our salvation`! 0 that all men
would be true to their country, that the
sword could be beaten Alto tbe plonglishare,
and the spear into the pruninghook, and
that war would be learned no more: Learn
iv war. What a lesson oh human de
pravity! 0, that all men ,would..lietunteer
to fight the good fight of Nth, and consent
to be mustered into the service. of , the.great
ing of kings, pui on the whole armor of
IM, take the oath of allegiande td 'high
heaven, and go forth with Spiritual Aeape9e,
to do 'battle for their souls and their pod,
until they come off conquerors and more
than conquerors, throUgh Christ Jesus who
bath lovetl.„us and given himself for Ale.
How niiiiity bittnre mien' Who gillfdrth to
fight our country's battles will never return l
Some fall by disease, some by accident, and
some in battle. .How awful the thought
that 'many souls may be ushered into the
eternal world unprepared to meet their
Godl May the Lord give the Chaplains
in the., army grace—abundant grace- I —to
preach the truth as it is in Jesus plainly,
pointedly, faithfully, fearlessly, and affec
tionately, so that when our brave soldiers
fall in defence of their country, their souls
may rise from the dark field of 'battle and
bloodshed to the dwellings of peace and the
regions of a glorious immortality above.
It is refreshing to read in the papers
from homeof the interest Christians are
feeling in the welfare of our soldiers in
camp. Let Me here"bear testimony that any
thing you do in the way of furnishing
reading matter for the regiments will be
most highly appreciated by many who are
really hungry for somethinoood to read.
Smallhooks are better than' large ones, for
it is not convenient to carry any great bulk
from poet to post, and the men do not have
time to read
,carefully large 'volumes. But
they` elifidelVtici with good books, and
especially with good papers. Religicnie
newspapers freely circulated among the
men would do an incalenlable amount of
good. In this region it is •difficut to get.
papers of any kind, for love
,or money. And
I have sometimes thought a small paper,
with one page devoted to giving a weekly
synopsis of the news of the day, and the
other three pages to religious news and'in
struction would be a great friend with the
soldier, to visit camp week., after week.
But if the means could be raised, such pa
pers as the Banner would even more than
answer the purpose. You have no idea
how such papers are prized by many of the
soldiers in the army.
In the regiment with which I am con
nected, we have a large number of very de
voted Christian men, who render me most
valuable service • it attending to the spirit
ual interests of the soldiers. Our Field
Officers all throw their influence upon, the
side of morality and religion. Being men
of excellent moral character, gentlemanly
in their bearing, and careful in discipline,
their influence in the regiment is of im
mense account to a Chaplain in the dis
charge of his most arduous, but glorious
work.
The mail is just closing that will bear
this letter to the North, and f mnst drop
my pen, asking a deep interest in the
prayers of God's people at home.
Yours faithfully,
P. S.—You need not be surprised to hear
of a very decided. forward movement from
this place soon. May victory perch upon
our dear old banner.

Pleasant Meeting.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—Though ordinarily
avoiding public notice, and fully believing
the Divine rule in regard to acts of benefi
cence— that we ti;ould not let the left
band know what the right hand doeth—
yet, that others may be encouraged and
stimulated "to go and do likewise," I
think it not amiss to give, through your
invaluable paper, the following sketch of a
most delightful and harmonious social gath
ering, held in the Presbyterian church, in
Clarksville (Beaver Presbytery) on Friday,
the 17th inst.
At the close of a very interesting series
of religious services, of several days' con
tinuance, held during the ."week of prayer,"
the congregation being invited to remain,
all the necessary arrangements were made
for having a " donation ainner " for the.
benefit of their pastor. The pastor and his
family were duly notified and requested to
attend ; and an invitation was also extend
ed to the ministers and members of other
denominations in the village to meet and
unite with them—an arrangement which is
truly commendable, as tending to,soften any
existing asperities, and to brake down and
remove any unfounded sectarian prejudice
that would separte and estrange from each
other the different families of the great
household of faith. The time having ar
rived, the house was filled with a " joyous
throng" of young and old, Methodists,
United Presbyterians, and Presbyterians,
bringing with them the most bountiful pro
visions for the table, together with their
various contributions to the increasing col
lections of pastoral donations. A sumptu
ous banquet was spread and partaken of by
all present—a free interchange of social
and Christian feeling was enjoyed for sev
eral hours—when, after having listened to
the customary amount of addresses and re
plies, gratulations, and congratulations, the
occasion was closd with suitable religions
exercises; and the multitude dispersed to
their various homes, leaving behind them a
great variety of gifts for the pastor and his
family, consisting of • the diverse necessaries
and delicacies for the table, Several valuable
articles of clothing, together with a consid
erable amount in cash,,and not forgetting
either a. supply for the • faithful animal
whose duty it is to convey his master from
place to place, in the discharge of his pa
rochial duties. All seemed to enjoy them
selves vastly, and to retire highly gratified'
with the interview. And the pastor return
ed to his home deeply grateful to his dear
people for what he had seen and heard, and
for the gifts he had received, encouraged
and stimulated to new efforts and diligence
in his labors for'their good, by this expres
sion of their confidence in him and -their
appreoiation of his services among them,•
enhanced by the fact that he had been sus
taining the pastoral relation to them but a
few short-months—and praying that while
they "minister , to him of their temporal
things," they may receive - More abundantly
of the spiritual blessings of God's 'grace
and salvation in their own souls; and that
when our work here is done we may all,
both pastor and people, be• permitted to
meet and " eat bread" together in the
kingdom of God forever and'ever.

Revival at Tarentam.
Tarentum Church, for almost.a year, has:
been without a pastor and for a much long
er time in a very deplorable condition. We
were almost ready to despair, when God, in
his great mercy, a few weeks since, sent us
a very dear brother, Rev. Samuel ,Ramsey,
whose energetics and untiring labors God
has abundantly blessed.
A series of meetings, 'commencing with
the Week of Prayer, still continues, with
increasing interest. Some,
of God's people'
have. been greatly aroused; to the duty of
self-examination, and are beginning to re
pair hroken down family altars, and to
take up their crosses in public prayer, &c.,
Last - Sabbath the Sacrament of the. Lord's
Supper was administered by the Rev. W.
G. Tajler. Thirty-seven persons were re
ceived into communion on public profession
of their faith. Many more seem to be anx
ionsly:inquiring what they shall do to be
sada. Truly; "The_ Lord hath done great
things for us, wheref we are glad."

Soldiers' Religions Aid Society.
MESSRS. Eprroits :—I fear the good
people of our county are not aware of the
existence of the "Soldiers' Religious Aid
Society," appointed by the "Christian
Public," some three weeks ago. The ob
jeet, I feel assured, will commenditselff to
every. Christian, and meet with a hearty re
sponse, from every man and woman, hold
ing the "spiritual welfare" of our dear
ibldiers paramount to every other cbndi
titin.
In order to induce the soldier to give up
Vice
. and immorality of every kind, the
Committee deem it essentially necessary to
cultivate a taste for reading where it; does
nrSt exist and to cherish it where' it do t es'.
To this end, we wish to supply each regi
ment, from our county, with good, whole
some, and attractive "reading matter."
So that peradventure, in their many idle
hours, they may turn to this, rather thin
cards or dice, and thus improve their
minds, rather than corrupt them,
The Committee further hope, in this
way, to aid the chaplain in his arduous and
oftentimes, discouraging labors, 'and thus
urge hint on to more seal in the "glorious
work " We cherish the hope too, we may
be e. ,ibled to assist, to some, extent, in the
purchase of "tents" especially, censtruct.:
ed fk r r "Religions Services!'
T.lt.Rse are much needed'now, in all our
regin,ente. .Shall it be said, that we are
conteuted to enjoy our comfortable "houses
of worship," but the soldier, gone from
pthesEprivileges:and comforts, must either
'.rtttreitor the want of the " Bread of Life,"

or receive it under all the discomforts of
rain, snow, sleet, and mud? Oh INo ! God
forbid!. We appeal to the "pastor"of
every church' in our county, to lay this
matter . fairly before his people," and
make every legitimate effort to arouse all
to realize the absolute necessity of doing
something to advance the true interests of
our soldiers, promote the knowledge and
truth of God, build up and strengthen the
"Church of Christ."
The Committee will be glad to receive
donations in money from churches or from
individuals. Books, narratives, biographies,
histories, or religious tracts—old reli
gious or Sabbath School papers—in part, in
fact, anything calculated to do good.
" Whatsoever thy hand fmdeth to do, do it

The Burnside Expedition
We, at length, have news from the expedition
which sailed from the 'Chesapeake under General.
Iturnside, on the 11th and 12th of Jammu. It
consisted of 126 vessels, mostly
• of the smaller
class, and about 15,000 troops. It encountered
several very severe storms, which 'scattered the
vessels, so that some of them had not arrived a
week after the proper period. And the storm on
the coast, after their arrival, was even snore se
vere than at sea. Sir. vessels are known to be
lost, two of them very valuable. Only nine men,
so far as known, are lost.
Gen. Burnside was not dispirited. He had get
nearly all the fleet over the bar, and into Pen
ile° Sound. Fair weather had set in, and things
looked promising. Every effort was being made
to get ready for proceeding to the point of desti
nation ; but whether that is Newbern and Golds
boro', or Roanoke Island and therear of Norfolk,
is something yet to be revealed. -
Gen. Burnside's dispatch is dated February
25th. It is more favorable than the report above.
He speaks of but three men and one vessel lost.
Several Vessels were - aground, but would likely
be got off' safely.

No important;movements are reported duiing. ,
the last week. Preparation at eaire, Paducah,
an Smithfield, were 'progressing. Gen. Buell
was still getting * things in order for an advance
on Bowling Green. Shoepff and Thomas were
pursuing the - victory over Zollicoffer. But the
rains, the mud, and the swollen creeks and riv
ers, prevented any thing very effective. The
enemy admit having a force of 8,000, and a loss
of 800 to 500. -
Our troops were advancing upon Paris.
Congress.
.TAN. 22.—Suttare.—Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois,
from the Committee on the 4dielary, reported
hack the House hill in regard' to witnesses ex
amined before the Committees of Congress, pro
viding that the exatnination before Congressional
Committees shall not prevent an examination in
Courts of Justice.
The case of Senator Bright was-then taken up,
and discussed with much aniination. Mr. Davis,
of Ky., is one .otthe most strenuous advocates of
the expulsion of Mr. Bright.
110172118. -Mr. Spaulding, of New York, from
the Committee of Ways and means, reported a
bill to authorize the issue of United States notes,
and for the redemption -or funding theredf, and'
for the funding of the floating diibt of the United.
States. . • .
The House, in Committee of the Whole on the
State of the Union, resumed the consideration of
the bill making appropriations for executive leg
islative and judicial expenses. ,
Mr. Divan, of N: Y., regretted thitlhere was a.
, division of sentiment as to the principles on
'which the war should be conducted, a - sentiment
'which divided'not only the House, but,the &tun
'try: He proceeded to speak in defence' of the
Executive and against the opposition of those

dent's friends. Gentlemen who want to prose
;cute the war for the purpose of abolishing slavery
Ininst knew that this cannot be done until the
Southern army is annihilated. This end cannot
be attained until the enemy's military strength
is destroyed. Both sides of the question were
travelling the same road &lathe subject of hoetil
ities—then, why should we not unite our ener
'gies ;• why introduce distracting elements? why
not first crush the rebellion; and -- then deliber
ately and dispassionately decide what use, shall
be made of the victory.
Mr. Vixen made a speech on the state of the
country, and against general emancipation.-
Mi. Stephens, of Pennsylvania, remarked that
this was not 4 accidental rebellion. It had
been premeditated for years past, and gradually
grown up. It would be better to lay the whole
South in waste than suffer the entire Nation to be
murdered. Better to people that section with a
new race of freeniert, than_to suffer the rebellion
to triumph. The ' sentiment .of the North was
thatthere shouldlbe no cessationchostilities till
the rebels lay down their arms andsubmit to the
authority of the General Government. There
cannot be two governments Within the limits of
the *United States. The*.er Willsot end till our,
Government shall More - fully .comprehend the ,

the other must be reduced. He repeated that

Office Committee, reported a bill establishing a.
postal money-order system. The consideration
was postponed.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., -from the Committee of

Mr. .Kellogg, of 111., from the Committee on the

Committee on the Judiciary. He said he had
reports of certain meetings, held about the lsi of
May, and . Mr. Wilson was one of a committee,
who reported a set of resolutions, two of which
are as follows:
Resolved,. That we, the people here assembled
declare fealty and sympathy with the S oath, for
the protection of Southern institutions.
Resolved, That we condemn as inhuman and.
diabolical, the war now waged. by the Federal
Government against the South.
Mr. Davis said that Mr:Wilson had no part in
the resolutions, and they were entirely without
his sanction in any way.
Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, said that he knew
Mr. Wilson, and knew that he had the reputation
of being a good Union man.
Mr. Wilkinson withdrew his , objection, and Mr.
Wilson took his seat.
Gen. 111111eck is determined that his order re
garding the assessment of- the property of rebels
for the benefit

ried out to the very letter. Several of the St.
Louis rebels, who were recently assessed, having
failed to pay promptly, their property has been
seized, and additional assessment of twenty-five
percent. has been levied, in accordance with the
terms of the order. One of these persons, a
prominent merchant named Samuel Engles, hav
ing served a writ of replevin on the Provost
Marshal, for the recovery of the property taken
from him, he and his attorney were arrested,
lodged in the military prison, and subsequently,
under a special order issued by Gen. Halleck,'
they were sent beyond the lines of the Depart
ment of Missouri, with a warning 'net to return
without permission from the Commanding Gen
eral, under penalty of being punished according
to the rules of war. All persons attempting to
interfere with the course of military law, will be
- dealt with in the same manner....`

The reported conversation. between Gen. Lane
and President Lincoln, published with so much'
ostentation and emphasis by the Tribune, is really
a very insignificant affair. In reply to the in
quiry of a friend, to-day, Mr. Lincoln charae

his private conversations were &tier newspa

nothing from him was worth repeating unless it

icontinued' at Woolwich. The steamers Spartan
:and Agak continued to take in heitv stores for
;Halifax, and Jaln.
Mr. Seward's dispatch was considered in Cab
inet councils on the 9th. .The Times understands
that' an answer will be returned, expressing
gratification, at the disavowal of Com.- Wilkes'
ISA and accepting the satisfaition reridered,
manning, that the precedent in, the Trent , case
`will rule the CUB of% the Eugenie ,Smith: As to
the general discussion of the law of neutrals the
Government, will decline any answer until they
have had an opportunity of submitting the Whole
question to the law officers.' ' There are proposi
tions in this , note not it all admidsable, and after
the delivery or the prisoners the points may be
perfectly discussed.
The London Post announces that a thorough
understanding had been arrived at with the
American Government. Not only had they,
given the required reparation, but in doing so,
Mr. Seward will have suucceeded in impressing on
the English Government the, notion that they
have not only obtained the present indemnity, ,
but no setall•pledge of future security.
The patty News eulogizesthe course of the
Washington GovernMent, • and approves of the
course of the lima and Post.
The limes has a strong editorittimposing Any
ovation to Slidell and Mason,'and says,they are
the most worthless booty it could be possible to
extract from the jaws .of the AMerican lion;

haters and revilers of England. It adds the
liovernment would lave done the same for two
negroes as for them. Other journals advise a
similar course.
The United States gunboat Tuscarora and the
privateer Nashville are at Southampton. The
Tuscarora is at her anchorage, a mile from the
dock, with fires batkked up and ready to slip, an
chors and start at a moment's notice, She only
required coals, water and provisions, which were
being supplied to her. • '
-The'-Nashville continued at her •dock. The
, Government had observed- the-strictest neutrality
toward her—nothing was permitted to be 'done
except what was necessary to make her seaworthy.
NO shot, poWder, gunz • no'r ankinnnition have
been put on board During the night of the 7th,
three armed men from the Tuscarora were dis
covered reconnoitering the Nashville, and were
ordered off by the Dock Superintendent. The
fires were lighted on the Nashville on the 10th,
and it was the impression that she was about to
sail, but she made no movement. The Tuscarora
was on the alert, with -her steam up.

There is said.to be much satisfaction in official
cireles at the settlement of the Trent affair,
which caused a rise of one per cent., on the

The Journal, of St. Petersburg, publishes an
article on Mr. Seward, on the uprightness and
intelligence of his policy, 'and demanding that
the Trent affair may become the starting of nego
tiations for the recognition by the powers, of the
common principles upon the question of neutral
flags. The article also expects that England will
give to the world a solemn guarantee for the fu
ture by , signing a condition, which by ensuring
universal respect for the rights of neutrals,
would contribute to the maintainance of peace
and mark the progress of civilliation. _

wife of James W. Johnston, Esq., In the 41st year of her
Mrs. Johnston was made, in early life, the subject of Hod's
converting grace. She was admitted to the communion of
the Church, in the congregation , of Nbenezer, Indiana Conn
ty,'Ea., then under the pastoral care of the Rev. David Lewis.
Subsequently, by a change of residence, she 'became a mem
ber of the church or Bethel, and afterward of the church of
Indiana. Though the period of her residence in . each of
these churches - was comparatively short, yet there are many
of their number who have reason to remember her with
affectionate interest. In 1860 she became connected with
the church of New Castle, whose men:bets have tenderly
sympathized with her in thoge protracted afflictions by which
the later years of her lifehave been marked. For the last seven
years she hasheen prostrated by an inveterate . a nd other painful
spinal affection, rendering her incapable of,givlng attention
even to the most ordinary . domestic affairs!' In her seasons
of most extreme suffering and depression, she found entire
seethe:ion from the society of friends to be absolutely neees.
sary ; and thus amid the quiet of her own chamber, she has
been compelled by the demands of her case to live for weeks
and months, in comparative ignorance of current events in
the community, the Church, and the eountry. Severe as
this privation was, to one so well qualified by natural dispo
sition and gracious affections for meeting the responsibilities
of active life,:there was another, which she more keenly felt.
60 often spoke of her necessary &fiance from the means of
grace, as the' saddeet Circumstance to het own soul, in con..
- nezion with her protracted illness. Though living but a few
steps from the house of God, yet it was *only on two or three
'occasions in seven years that she was permitted to be present.
In her case, however, through sanctifying grace, these per
sonal afflictions were sublierving the purpose of public ordi-
Renew. Complete resignation to the will of the Father, and
patience to endure these :Protracted sufferings, were given
her with herneasone of trial. During the -last few months,
she appeared to be raphllytipening for heaven. The thought
of leaving her little family had cost her many astruggle, but
:she was.enabled, after a time, to resign them to the hands of
Christ. - And from that time'forward she made it het fervent
prayers that she might " be absent from the body and present
- with the Lord." Her last hours were cheered by the presence
of the Redeemer, andlter departure was a beautiful illustra
tion of, the power of faith.. When she was dying, her hue
hand said to her: Wo cannot go xnuchfurther with you, but
lve would like to know how it kooks beyond, from the stand
point you now occupy." - She pressed his hand, and with a
„heavenly glow upon her countenance, she whispered quite
audibly, "All bright and glorious!" A few moments . after,
and simultaneously with the closing words of an appropriate
prayer, her rale:teed spirit took its departure from these mor-
Thns has passed away one of the moot lovely, gentle, and
amiable women. She was a tender and watchful mother, a
considerate and confiding wife, and an intelligent and con
scientious Christian. " Let me die the death of the righteous,
and let my last end he like his." , .
