To our Theological Seminary, in Alle gheny City, there is a strong attachment. All love it. All ardently desire its success. There is no division in sentiment thus far. Bat in regard to what is best for it, in present circumstances, ,and in reference to what is practicable, there is some variety of opinion. There must henee be cherished a yielding spirit. Cooperation is essential. If our brethren will not come with us, then we must go with them. We may not, in this case, turn one to the right and another to the left. The work to be done requires a joint. labor. - It is no longer a question;` whether 'a Seminary is needed 'in our midst. The number of candidates whieh :our churches produce, and their homogeneity, and their adaptation to the higher degrees: of: vseful4 ness, all combine to settle this smatter be-, yond a 'doubt. And we want a good Seminary,; a Seni leery ,affording ,to students the,:very ibest= advantages: formin isterial 'education . Our young`inen;. their 'number, their' preparatory leartiing,, their, talents, and the type , of their piety, are worthy. Thecause. i is worthy.- The work they ire, destlued4o is iworthr..Jialhey are; entaled to the very: best means of becoming equal to the hest. We Cannot:for a - moineni'endilt4 the thoujht of sending our sons into the Mast er,'s yine r , yard wanting any one qualification which is.- posseised by other laborers.' 3 • As to the .tiuniber of teachers who should f be in a Seminary, that 'depends upon the curriculum of studies and the number of pupils—, Four, seems to be the least num : bev Of Prefessore among:whom the General' Aiseinbly . ' divide the branches ',of study, in a first class Seminary. And if there, are, more than one hundred students "' we think. the :number of teachers should..be increased. And so also, as - it Would'• sewn,- thinks the General' Assembly. At Prince-' ton there i t i e five Professors . ; and fer ghenylhe Assembly appointed a fifth Pr ofessor. Pour ,Professord consecrated. to, their work; id the least number' we should regard as adeqnite in our "case, With "a fifth and sixth partially devoted to • the work, if our candidates shalPmuch exceed :,a hundred., We have new'atAllegheny, about a hun ' tired students in actual attendance; and ; ,others on the roll who ; may yetconie,in. And we have but three compensated Pro fessors, ,since pr: Piumirt's resignatidn! and` departti We have' a fourth,' Dr. i PAXTON, whOldplivers two' lectures a week; very acceptably and with great benefit to • the classes. , But he perfprms-no other ser vice. Helms a large pastoral charge, which occupies Mainly his time and his heart's affections. His labors in the Seminary are" ; an extra service, and an entire gratuity. , We then need another : Professor. ,And the want is inverative. If is ; true that the present Professors, have divided be= tween them the ~subjects embraced in' Dr. PLUMBIC'S department; and thus the stu dents suffer but little loss.' But those brethren lahor quitetoo intently. Health and ,spirits must fail under •it. , We are told that •some of the Professors have pastorates ; let them give these up, and devote the labor now bestowed there to the Seminary, and all' ill be well, Theru is something., in this ,remark.l We feel it. And we-wish things were sol that • these 'Professors 'Could devote their whole tithe; love; and energies to the- S,eminar t y. And .yet there is not as much in the remark as 'some who make it, think there is. It is Clear understanding betweenthe Professors and their 'congregation's; 'that they are` in perform no service calling them away' from, „their: Seminary duties. They visit' only, When, it, is convenient, and, they supply 'their Pulpits hy- , a substitute when they chooSe. And' their Sabbath ministration's occupy less of their time and ; less of their energies, than did the preaPhing services demanded of them,,when- they -had no Charge.- Then they 'were iimportuned by pastors, near' at, hand and far off, to ,preach) ahnost every Sabbath: Rest was not per te Wein, and to get to their - Preach-' ing 'Places, and return, they were often taxed with the lois. of a Saturday and Mon day, as well as the fatigue ,and expense :of travelling. t. Now; they have rest and qui etness at home, in' their studies" and'vrith their families. The actual ypreaching hours is all the call made wpon their time. Theh let the objectioh•be suppressed, and let us have a Man to fill the vacant Chair„ Talents and learnina, ae Well as piety in a Professor, are indispensable. But talents L and learning command'.a compensation. ;Some of our- ministers receive as pastors, butthree hundred to five. hundred 'dollars, "others have three tliOni‘iatid to five th4itiaand. We want the very',hhat nigh : We - do not .= offer the very highest salary. We look for something from"%VW and 'devotednesel But we must ,give.art adequate ,compensa- ; This brings us to the main point of this article. •We tonne. thnt Ankh Proles-' iorship shall, be fully endowed. Itleightbe , : a question, whether, our:' PrOfessors' salaries are .sufficient. We think they are not. They are five hundred dollars less thawthe 'amount paid' at Princeton: But We do'not agitAp the'sebjectef an . increaSe Let MI have : our usual , sum made up for the iourth., The amount needful for the endowment was apportioned' among the-Synods more directly connected' with `the 'Seminary. The S'Yncida accepted, and passed good reso lutions; but years have, gone by, and, not one. of them •has, yet contributed its , full portion. Why? We'd() not mean to find fault,' nor chide. • .We . plOad. There is a great want ; The churches Ore abiindantly . able. Nowle a peculiarly Mioroble time, ,especially in'the country churches.

Now resolve that your part shall be paid at once; yea, and more than your equitable share. Let every congregation determine that their abundance shall compensate some neighbor's tack. If all - should excel, there will be - something toward the' increase to' which allusion was made. Let every man who has a mind to work, begin at once, and encourage his neighbor. We urge pastors, especially. We know, we know assuredly, that they can accomplish it. Sound' rea soning, a wise tkindness, and Gospel impor timity, will prevail. An;elder will yield, and another; and the whole Session; and the people.

And yet both branches of the Presbyterian Church adopt precisely the same Confession of Faith. At whoSe door lies the blame of the in. tonsisteneyinvolved ? THE Examiner thus speaks of the " Monitors ": A few religious young men, anxious to go to the war, yet quite as anxious to main-1 tain their Christian integrity, conceived the idea of a company chosen on religiousi principles. They drew up a; plan. No member should drink intoxicating liquor; no one should swear, gamble, or be obscene; a weekly meeting for. prayer should be maintained, and the Sabbath observed. The plan of a pions conapany called out some expressions'of mirth.' :But the young.' men' toiled on. The compatiSv Was, filled.
