The Battle Autumn of 1862 The flags of 'scar like storm-birds fly, The charging trumpets blow ; Yet rolls no thunder in the sky, No earthquake strives below. And, calm and patient, Nature keeps Her ancient promise well, Though o'er her bloom and greenness sweeps The battle's breath, they tell. And still she walks in golden hours Through, harvest-happy farms, :--And-still she wears her fruits and flowers Like jewels on her arms. What mean the gladness of the plain, This joy of eve and morn, The mirth that shakes the beard of grain And yellow looks of corn ? Alt! eyes may well be full of tears, When hearts with hate are hot; But even-paced come round the years, And Nature changes not. She meets with smiles our bitter grief, With songs our groans of pain ; She mocks with tint of flower and leaf The war-field's crimson stain. Still, in the cannon's pause, we hear Her sweet thanksgiving-psalm; Too near to God for doubt or fear, She shares the eternal calm. She knows the seed lies safe below The fires that blast and burn; For all the tears of blood we sow She waits the rich return. She sees with clearer eye than ours The good, of suffering born— The hearts that blossom like her flowers And ripen like her corn. Oh, give to us, in times like these, The vision of her eyes ; And make her fields and fruited trees Our golden prophecies. Oh, give to us her finer ear! Above this stormy din, We, too, would hear the bells of cheer Ring peace and freedom in! - 4 :Mantic Norithly for October For the Presbyterian aßnner Presbytery of Palestine.

Martin Luther, the great reformer of Germany, was born at Eisleben, in Saxony, November 10th, 1488. His father was a. miner and a woodcutter, and so poor that it cost him and his good wife no little trouble to bring up their eight children, of whom Martin was the pldest. HovieVer,, ;as he prospered a little in his affairs, he managed to,give to• his son Martin a good education. When about fourteen years of age, ,the hid was sent to, learn Latin at Magdeburg; but, as money was still rather scarce at home, the boy was often obliged to go from door to door singing, and asking for a little bread. This was the custom of poor stu dents in those days. Sometimes the people were kind, praised' his music and gave him food, but at other times the tired singer went back wet and hungry to his lonely bed. But God, who was guiding his steps, , led him to the door of a kind woman called Ursula Cotta, where he found a happy home, for she was so touched .by, his soft, saol voice, that she took Martin into her house and treated him as her own son. Here he grew rapidly in mind and body, never forgetting to improve himself in music, which wait as dear to him now that he was happy, as it, used to be when, h'e; sang his sweet tunes from street to street. ',` After a short time Martin went to the university of Urfurt, and the next five years were spent in very hard study. Ey ery morning's work began with prayer, for he used to say, "To pray well is more than half my study." ' One day, as he was looking over some old books in a monas tery, he found a treasure that had been years upon years hidden from the world. It was a Latin Bible—the first whole Bible be had ever seen. Luther was poor no longer; this dusty volume was more to him than food, or,driult,,or,. dress; and.he wrote' to his father begging permission to PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1862. become a monk, so as to spend all his life in the study of the Word of God. For in those days people were in great darkness, because the light of the Bible had been so long hidden from them, that they generally thought there was no way in which they could please God so well as by shutting themselves up in a convent or monastery, instead of following the example of,our Saviour, who went about doing good. ery much against the will of his father, Luther entered the convent of Erfurt, and lived there a long time, seeking by fasting, tears and prayers, to do something that would entitle him to the pardon of his sins, and bring peace to his conscience. For he bad not yet learned that it is only for the sake of what Jesus had done and suffered that we can be forgiven, and that we must be lieve on him before we can do any thing to please God. But he could afterwards say from his heart, " Thou, 0 Christ, art my righteousness, and I am all , sin. Take what is mine, and give me what is thine." After three.years' residence at the con vent of Erfurt, he left it to become a Pro fessor at Wittenberg. But he brought away two precious things—the peace of God in his heart and the Word of God in his hand. Every . day, at- one o'clock,, Luther lectured on and Bible to the young men of his class and his. solemn manner,. fine face, and. clear, sweet voice, but still more the truths he. taught,. delighted 'his hearers. This little sentence,: " The just shall live by faith," had like s sharp sword cut away the fetters that ,bound his Own' soul and ever after he used the . Same heavenly_ weapon to let the .oppressed go free. In 1510, Luther paid a visit to Rome, and •returned greatly • skocked by many foolish and wicked things he saw done* there. About:seven years afterwards, the. Pope that was then, reigning at-Rome, Leo, X., wanted a great deal of money for vari ous purposes, and took a very strange way of getting it. Ile sent monks into differ ent countries, and told them to hold fairs where the people might buy pardon of sin. There was one old man who travelled through Germany, carrying a, great red cross, and pretending to sell forgiveness: his name was Tetzcl. Wherever he went immense crowds followed, welcoming him with music and pens, and lighted tapers, and listening to all his silly stories, as if they had been quite true. Luther spoke out boldly from his pulpit, against the shameful sale, telling the people that none could forgive sins but God alone; however, Tetzel was all the fashion, for it was easier to pay money than to repent, and so long as the crafty, old monk felt his cash-box getting heavier and heavier each day, he little cared- what became of the souls of those poor people he, was deceiving. It was on the morning of October 31st, 1517, that Martin Luther -walked 'to the church at Wittenberg, where crowds of pilgrims were going, and fastened .to the door ninety-five reasons why persons should not buy Tetzel's pardons or, as they were called, "indulgences." Before fifteen days, all Germany was ringing with the news. A short time more, and Luther's ninety five reasons were printed in all the lan guages of Efirope; for the printing press had just begun to lend its help to the spread of knowledge. Luther himself sent a copy of what he had written to the Pope, who was very angry, and obliged him to appear befbre his legate, or ambassador, Cardinal Cajetan, at a great meeting 'to be held in the city of Augsburg, there to an swer before a large assembly for his noble love of truth. Three times he appeared before the le gate, refusing to retract one word he had written until they could prove to him from the Bible that he was mistaken. At length the legate, throughly vexed and fright ened,' commanded Luther to be silent, and drove him from his presence. Bute Martin Luther was not the man to conceal what he believed to be trne, and in spite of all opposition, preached, and. wrote, and ar gued; for, " since it is now the Gospel, and not myself they attack," said he, " silence is no longer lawful!' He was now at open war with Rome. The Pope .burned Lu ther's books, and in return Luther burned the Pope's orders, saying that henceforth he would obey the Bible, and the Bible alone. Sometimes Luther travelled through the country,. preaching the Gospel; and where the churches were too small to contain the people who crowded to hear him, he would take his stand under the spreading boughs of the linden trees, while young and old, rich and poor, heard the words of truth as they flowed from, his. lips. Four years of this struggle had passed, when the youthful Charles V. ascended the throne of Germany. He was resolved to see this busy monk of whom every one talked, and Luther was summoned before him at a town called Worms. With sim ple trust in God, although the danger was extreme, Luther obeyed, and stood in the presence of an Emperor, surrounded by, princes, dukes, and bishops. He was asked to retract what he had • written, the sub stance of _which was, that the Pope could not forgive sin, that sinners eouldsbe saved only by faith in4esus Christ, and that the Bible was the true treasure'of the Church, At his own request, a day was granted for consideration.. He passed the night in prayer, and next evening the brave reform er appeared again before the meeting. " Here I stand : I cannot do otherwise," ,he claimed. " May God, help me." Amen. Luther's enemies urged the. Emperor to kill him, but Charles had promised him protection for a certain length of time and would not break his word. On his hOme-, ward journey, a strange resting-place opened for him. The Elector of Saxony,, knowing Luther's danger, sent five armed horsemen to arrest him on a lonely part of the road, and carry him off like 'a prisoner to the castle of Wartburg. His friends wept for him as dead. Ills foes rejoiced at his overthrow. But both were mistaken. Luther was alive, though hidden, and em ployed his leisure in preparing for his coun trymen the noblest gift they ever , got, the book which taught them to read, be lieve, and love—the-Bible in their own language. After ten months ,he`returned to Wittenberg, where he, was received with shouts of joy; and' now,, with unsparing hands, he attacked the errors of the Church of Rome, contrasting-its teachings with that' of the Word of God. - Nor`did he for get his old taste for music, the 'good news of a Saviour's love overflowed from his, heart in beautiful song, and he spoke to the German heart in, its second lingui 6 e. ' I cannot tell you of half the things that occupied Luther during the , remainder of his busy life"; but, by-and,by you shall read them for yourselves, and you will not, love him less when you know Min better. You will, perhaps, get a peep' into his house, and see that this great man, whose words woke up a sleeping world, was like a child among his children, working in the garden and-playing'" with -them, telling them wonderful stories, and writing such beautiful letters that you could read , thein Si ;1, over and over again. Sickness and pain warned Luther that he was soon to serve God in another world ; and when he died, weeping crowds felt that they had lost a father and a friend. Luther was dead, but his work could not die; he had given to .his countrymen the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever, and, by bringing them back to the pure teaching of the Bible, left Germany, Protestant !

D., Archbiskoriof Canterbury, whose death, is announced by a late arrival from Europe, was the eldest son of the Rev.. Robert Sumner ' some time Vicar of Kenilworth. He was born in 1780, and was educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, where. he graduated B. A.,1803, M. A: 1807; D. D.,1828. Having been success ively Assistant .Master in, and Fellow of Eton College, he became rector of- Maple durham, Oxon, and was appointed "a Canon of , Durham, la2o. Was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1828, and translated to the See' of Canterbury in 1848. As Archbishop of Canterbury he had an- an nual income of £15,000, and enjoyed the patronage of the Archdeaconries of Can terbury and Maidstone, of two canonries, of six preacherships in Canterbury cathe dral, and of one hundred and sixty-,eight benefices. Dr. Sumner..was a prolific theolOgical writer, having published be sides other- works, "Evidences of Christi anity," " Expository Lectures" on the whole of the New Testament except the Apocalypse, in nine separate volumes, and several volumes'of sermons. He belonged to what is called the,Evangelical School in the Established Church, and his term of office will be memorable in the Church his tory of England by the revival of the syn odical power of the two Convocations of England, and the violent controversy spring-, ing out of the publication of the, famous work. entitled " Essays and Reviews." Gen, litansfield,—The death of General Mansfield, at the battle of Porterstown, will prove a national loss, and excite •a na tional. feeling of regret. Joseph K. Fenno • Mansfield was a native of Connecticut, and was about fifty-eight years of age. He was appointed to West Point Academy from that Siete, in October, 1817, and passed through the regular course of studies in that institution.' He entered , the service of the. Government on the Ist 'Of July, 1822, as a second lieutenant of engineers, and ,afterwards rose to higher position„as his,merits became appreciated. In March, 1832, he was made first lieutenant, and in July, 1832, became captain. • During the Mexican war (in 1846-7) he rose to the position of 'chief engineer of the army un ,der General Taylor. He was. brevetted Major for gallant and distinguished services [in the defence of Fort Brown, May 9,1846.. 'ln the storming of Monterey he received no less than seven wounds, several of which were most severe; and for gallant, and meritorious conduct in' those - conflicts he •was honored with the rank of , lieutenant ;colonel. His gallantry at Buena Vista won him his coloneley. In the war for the Union his services, however, have been equally conspicuous, and they are still so, fresh in the public 'memory that it is needless to, recount them here. On the 14th 'of May, 1861, he was commissioned a brigadier general ih the recmlar army, in recognition of his distin guishedt2 worth, and• his subsequent career, down to the day when he sacrificed his life to his zeal,for the cause, is a noble testi mony that the trust i•epoSed in him by the Government was not misplaced. The deaih of Gem Mansfield id a'. serious loss, not to his immediate command alone, but to the war bureau, and to the-whole country. Death of > Count De Gasparin,—Our repub lic and nation is to-day called upon to mourn the loss of One of its ablest elkam Pions and most disinterested defenders—of One who, though, born and educated undcr adverse influences, has proved himself one of our ablest and warmest friends, and whose-eloquent voice'as been' raised with double force in our - behalf at the very hour of our deepest aftlietien, and even when our national existence was sneeringly talked of as a thing of the past. Count de Gasparin has indeed been 'efai f thful among the laithlese.' ; ': At the very moment when his countrynien and friends were disposed 'to - sympathize with a monstrous rebellion, conceived in sin 'and born, in iniquity, his voice was heard like .1 clarion above, the noise of conflicting opinions. He had no personal 'interest- in the matter, and only gave his testimonYfiii the 'truth • and that testimony will :he doubly valued because we know that, had the. South been justified in the rebellion 'had the cause of the Confederacy been the righteouwone—De‘Gasparin would have`as bravely defended that faction as he has done our own, beloved country. He is a man and- a Writer who would have lifted his eyes to the stars and bars had that ac _cursed banner, instead of the Stars and Stripes, symbolized the right.. And it is ,not , merely with ,foreign nation's that his wOrAs have had greatemeight. - There are those among us who,' in view of recent national disasters, have for a mo ment 'wavered,' and ' asked themselvee Whether it were true that we of the Nor4h are really in the right, or whether it were not a fatal delusion •to suppose that the God of, battles is on our side; and then the splendid words of Gasparin have' come to ench as these ; and , the testimony of a great mind, :which; away fronrthe blinding smoke =EI EOM PERSONAL. of battle, can discern the great principle of right guiding us through slow and devious paths, yet still guiding us, has removed the unwelcome doubt and renewed the flagging patriotism. The news of the death of this noble Frenchman comes to us in a brief para graph in our foreign papers. He was born at the lovely little town of Orange, in the - Vaneluse, France on the Rhine, and but a few wiles North of Avignon, on the 4th of July, 1810. He early entered into politi cal life, first as a private Secretary to Guizot, and afterwards as Minister of the Interior under Louis Philippe. From 1842 to 1848 he was a member of the Chamber of Deputies. In public life De Gasparin has long been known as a zealous champion of religious toleration and Protestantism. He was what is here termed an " abolitionist"— that is, he urged the immediate emancipa tion oflaves, though, as his recent works on this country show, 'his latter views on this point are tempered with modera tion. After the revolution of 1848 he re tired to Switzerland, and'Of late he has de voted himself to the study of the Ameri can question. His published' works are, Esciavage a traite, (1838,) De 1 'afran chiss:ernent des Esclavei, (1839,) Idterets Generaux du Piotestantisrne. _Francais, (18430 a work" On Spiritualism," which' has been translated and published in this country, and his two recent books, " The Uprising of a Great People," and."

He was commissioned a fall second lieutenant of dragoons in November, 1845. He served in Mexico, where he won much distinc tion and a brevet. He became a captain in 1855. In 1861, by the resignation of traitors, Pleasanton rapidly' advanced on the list, until he was senior captain in the cavalry service. He soon became colonel of cavalry, and in July last, was made a brigadier general of volunteers, and was given the command of Stoneman's cavalry brigade.
