ECCLESIASTICAL CORRESPONDENCE --- THE DUTCH AND THE HEIV,-SellOOL CHURCHES. A correspondence, by Delegates; has long been kept up between our 'General Assembly and the General Synod of the Reformed Duteh Church. Since the -Dis ruption; in' 1837, this correspondence' has been conducted by the Synod with only the,. Old;SChoot Assembly; it being IT garde.d as the real General Assembly. A.t the late meeting of the Synod, however, a proposition was introduced, to institute a correspondence with the New-: School. This was strenuously resisted, and doubts of the orthodoxy of the New-School were expressed. Finally the following modified intercourse was suggested and apprOved, viz.: Resolved, That this Synod send to the next New-School General Assembly a Com missioner, whose office it shall be to assure that body of our fraternal affection and in terest,,and to , propose to it a yearly inter change of kind , expressions by letter. The New-York Evangelist, the leading paper of the New-School, rejects this with much indignation, and predicts that it will be repelled: and reproved by the body. PRESITTERY OF OM. The Presbytery of Ohio held several brief sessions, last week, during intervals of sessions of Synod. Rev. WI - ma'am G. TAYLOR was received from the Presbytery. of Allegheny. He ac eepted a call from the congregation at Mt. Carmel, and is to be installed on Monday, November 17th. Rev. S. G. DUNLAP was received from the Prebbytery of Baltimore. He accepted a call from Monongahela City, and is to be installed at'such time as may be found con venient. • A call was presented for Mr. LEVI RISHER, a licentiate of this Presbytery, by the congregation of Montours: 'He is to be ordained and installed on Tuesday, No vember Nr. DAVID THOMPSON, Another licen tiate of Ohio Presbytery, having offered himself as a missionary to ,Tapan, and being accepted by our Foreign Board, 'asked for ordination. The request was cheerfully granted., The ordination took place on Thursday evening, in the presence of the Synod. Rev. Dr. MARSHALL preached' the sermon. -- Rev. rfr:Jibilsiiicts presided, put the cciistitutional tfiestiona; led in the ordaining prayer,' and gave the ' charge. The occasion was one of much solemnity, and of deep interest to, the assembled Synod, and to a large congregation. PATRIOTISM OF NEW BRUNSWICI FRESH- TLERY. Patriotism among our ministers and el derit is not•so scarce and hidden that redo- Intions 'in Church courts - are needed to bring it to the light. But still, it is Well, known that, "out of the abundance 'of the heart the mouth speaketh ,;" and that a very strong 'feeling will' always and 'often find utterance. Hence it is but natural" that a Presbytery which embraces such historical, places as New Brunswick, Trenton, Mon mouth, and Princeton, and in which are located our oldest Theological SeminarY, • • and; the venerable 'College of New Jersey, should give a strongly patriotioutterance. This was done at the late meeting; on the owaSion of noting the aotion of the Gen eraVAssembly of May last, on the state of the alagntry. President MACLEAN pre sentedA paper which was adopted and or dered to ibe published The following is , one t of the' paragraphs : " in .view of the present condition of our church/ relation of brethren in diligkent ,Parts Of VI ttr,,,..,c , o?ntry, caused by Igainst the - National the!ei h ist i ing`re, t m dab dra of this Preeb - GovfgaPa a l. - 411 ifelcit duty to declare Y teril deem their solemn .avietiott that all en thai is r their ft! ld nktlitii rebellion are gull gage4 11 P h°,1 ' Get God and his Church, ti ii•ai; duty of all mem thit it 163- 1 ' Lie' of tit' coni 811 1 r. 3 0titirdli,"p e - ber if 9 f, 9 1 we th, to jailer aIW te kw tmo '"iintigt t eief. din e,csuu = ful tt+ir powei f -...1 try, 114 t iir t iv e 'reemPon• fottie Cupp SINN) OF PITTSBURGH. This Synod met in the First Presbyte rian church, Pi tb.burgh, on Tuesday, Octo ber 21st, and continued its sessions till Friday. The attendance was about as usual. We never witnessed a more, dili gent attention to business, nor more fra ternal concord. The Lord was with us. The absorbing and never to be forgotten subject, the state of the country, received attention. Prayer was offered daily, for our rulers and armies, for the forgiveness of our national 'sins, and for a righteous peace. The Synod's action on this subject we present in anticipation of the Minutes. The paper was adopted. unanimously. We have among us life-long Democrats, strong Republicans, and l unwavering anti-slavery men, (but no Secession sympathizers, and no abolition fanatics.) All could and did harmonize iu r their love •of country, and in support of their Government r on christiari principles. Would that the great body, or the people could •do so, in all the ,loyal. States. Soon then would 'we' have victory and peace. Dr. ClitsTEß, Secretiiry of the Board of Education, but on tins occasion: represent ; ing all the, Boards, was :present, ,and 'ad-. dressed• the Synod. The want of 'aid, just now, is exceedingly great. The Drl's ad dress was earnest,: affecting, and;waihould, think, effective. Surely but few ministers and elders could go 'home to their people and fold their arms in idleness. The need of the Boards was eloquently urged; and' alio 'the duty' of giv . and` he benefit and blessedness of giving. . Ministers would .take home with .them a theme; ore which to.speak, and many solemn thoughts with which' to presis'it. • •We"trustimucti fruit will soon be Manifest:; in the •a.houlici ing liberaiiiy of the churphes..

This Synod met in Washington, Pa:, ,on' Friday,`October 17th.. The attendance waagood. An appeal occupied a portion of the. Synod's time. A. noble ,paper-on the'state of the country was adopted, nem con.ZThe Subject which occupied. 'more tune than any other, was. the Synodical College. Some years, ago, this Synod en tered into an arrangement with the-Trus tees of 'Washington College, by which Syndd was to endow the Institutien and' possess its control. A subscription of $69,000 was obtained, but onljr a, small part of it was actually paid, ' the subscribers giving'.their notes and promising to 'pay the interest annually. This arrangement not being carried out promptly, gives Synod no, little trouble. ,The College, how ever; 'flourishes. , It is well worthy the confidence of parents, midit• should enjoy the 'benefactions' of thefriends of a good ,„ religious education, in connexion with science and literature. The internal state of the College was deemed highly satisfac tory, and a project was initiated, of endow-' ing the Presidential chair to the amount of $20,000...;, • The Minutes of Synod'are received, but too late for this:week. The action on .the state of the 'country is, as follOwS : Upon the State of the Country, Synod, "re=affirming her attachmentto our Federal, Government, and that it the imperative, duty of all out people to maintain the ' same," and holding that. " the united prayers' of God's people might be,prevalent with the Most High to remove, from our beloved oland and nation the chastening hand with which he is. scrseverely afflicting us, therefore; , • - • " Resolued.l. That the - Synod Of Wheel ing do respectfully but eirnestly,asi His Excellency, the President of these'United States, to' appoint a .day of humiliation, fasting and prayer, to be observed by :all the'people of this , land,4in Niew of the dis-. tracted state of 'our colt n**, !' Resolved 2. That if4.loEicellency, the' President, should fail to appoint said. day', then.the Synod do appoint the first Thurs day of December next, as a day of humil iationy fasting 'and prayerl within our bounds; on' which our people be reconi -mended to meet in their respeetive'church es and confess their individual and national, sins, and pray to Almighty God in behalf of our beloved. and bleeding country--:•its government, its army and navy, and its Weopie-,—that armed rebellion may, be over thrown and cease, and, that the constitu tional authprity of the:Government may be vindicated, - and that we ,may obtain ; a speedy, honorable, and permanent peace." THE PROCLIIIATIONIrOtTOB I ER 21D. The' pup of the President, in con ducting ilitary opera'tions against' the enenY; to declare' freedom to all slais in the rebellious 'portions.of 'the country, ,was issued more than 'three ,racnths before, it was•to be put in execution. Two- things . were intended 'by thin; .one was, to give' the' South time to deliberate, to become obedient to the laws, and avoid the event; the other was, to ascertain. the mind of the people of. the North, whether they "wished for such a meaehre.' Both these thoughts' were wise and important Both are con nected with the great event, and their indications may well be noted. And Ist; there are no symptoms of-Yield ing on the part of the South. The lead=' ers.there knew that they have,forfeited'not only a right to their, .slaves, but. also all , right to life. To prbtract the war, even against hope of success, is, in them, wise. They thereby defer the eecirtion'df that which is due 'to eenspiratnrs and rebels. But,the.people manifest a, .great degree of alarm. -it is evidently the most dreaded blow which has been aimed at them' since the corruneneemerii: of the' *sr. They fear I' R ERIAN BANNER.---SATURDA Y, NOVEMBER 1, 1862. that it may be practicable; and if so, they are conquered. They know that a united North could enforce it. They perceive that their slaves are rapidly gaining a knowledge of the purpose. They may well fear; but still, they are likely to brave the trial. We think we see God's mind in this. He gives them up to indiscretion, that.one.of his. deep counsels may. be exe cuted under the operation of natural causes The opinion of the people of the North is also being developed; and we have been surprised at the general acquiescence in the sentiment of the President.
