CS b terian 'ilanner PVITSBURGII, DECEMBER 20, 1882 The War. We are enabled, this week, to report the :army of the Potomac in action. In an- other column we give the leading events, as reported. The army crossed the Rap pahaonuck, oo Thursday, the 11th, ou five pontoon bridges; three of them leading directly into Fredericksburg, and two of them about three miles further down the river. The lower crossing was effected by den. Franklin, and with no difficulty. The enemy had looked for him some four teen miles farther down the river. The crossing at Fredericksburg was opposed by the enemy and delayed, but was effected without much loss; the opposing force being small. That Gen. Lee should have offered so small a resistance to Gen. Burnside, caused much speculation. He could have made the simple passage of the river cost us several thousand men ; and yet we did not lose much over a hundred. Why ? One thought was, that he felt himself to be very strong, and hoped to get our army over, and fall on it and cut it= up. Another con jecture was, that he had commenced re treating, and had not left force enough to make a strong resistance. A few days will develop his plans. Saturday showed us that his army was not all gone. The fight that day was very severe, and attended with much loss. The Government seems now to exhibit some energy. The Administration, and even the politicians, are cooperating with Gen. Burn side. Large reinforcements are sent to him. Troops are being collected from all around. Gen. Slocum has 'advanced from Harper's Ferry. Gen. Milroy is crossing from Western Virginia. Gen. Sigel is within supporting distance. Troops have been landed at the head of Albemarle Sound, and, uniting with the army at Suf folk and a large force from Newbern, are threatening Richmond from the South. If there had been such energy and such cooperation, nine months ago, Richmond and all of Virginia might have been ours before the last midsummer, with an im mense saving of life and money. But we rejoice that even now the Government is awaked to the greatness of its task, and is using adequate means to the attainment of the end. Burnside, however, is in the wrong place. He is sixty miles from Richmond, all to be traversed by land; and when he shall have fought forty miles of the distance, over hills, plains, swamps, and rivers; when he' shall have consumed much time and lost thousands of precious lives, he will be no nigher Richmond than he might have : been, by way ,of the Peninsula, weeks ago, and without the loss of a man. But we blame not Gen. Burnside. He had to obey. And, hard as is the task imposed on him, we trust he will be enabled to execute it. He is brave, cautious, and skillful. Sum ner, Franklin, and Hooker, the leaders of his Grand Divisions, are Generals who have been tried and approved. Others of his Generals, are able men. May He who rules over all, give courage, protection, and victory. Much anxiety was felt, for some days, relative to the army of Gen. Roseorans. There were indications that the enemy was withdrawing a large part of his army from Mississippi, and concentrating his strength in Eastern Tennessee. Thus he might overwhelm our forces at Nashville. Later reports vary the programme. No new movements are reported of the armies of Gens. Grant and M'Clernand. Gen. Butler administers his Department with his usual ability. Two Congrecamen are elected, from New• Orleans and vicin ity. An increased number of men, lately slaves, are now working for wages. It is pretty evident that the ohange would be practicable, on an extensive scale, without producing a disruption in society. Gem Banks, it is now pretty well ascer tained, is gone to the Gulf. This causes disappointment. He should have coopera ted against Richmond. It is suggested that he is destined first against Mobile, and then to take the place of Gen.. Butler. at New• Orleans. [After the foregoing was written, a re port was received by telegraph, from Wash ington, saying that Gen. Burnside had re crossed the Rappahannock. The heavy rain was causing a rapid rise in the river. This endangered the bridges and made it unsafe for the army to remain in Freder icksburg, in the presence of, a foe whom they could not repel, and by whom they might be overwhelmed . ~ If this is true, and it seems to be so, what a comment is it on the wisdom, or rather want of wisdom, in the authorities, which forced a brave General and a patriotic army, into such a position 1 • Could not the Government have hurried on forces enough to have held Fredericksburg, flood or no flood n ECCLESIASTICAL.

Its table of contents is as follows 1. Les Mis 6rabiles. 2. The Platonic Dialogues. S. Mod ern Political Memoirs. 4. Belgium. 5. The Waterloo of Thiers and Victor Hugo. 6. Aids to Faith. 7. China —The Tneping Rebellion. 8. The Confederate Struggle and Recognition. The concluding article is more dignified in its tone and less severe in its language, than the one on the same subject in Blackwood, to which we lately alluded; but. its hostility to the North is scarcely less marked and uncompromising. The recognition of the Confederate States by the leading Powers of Europe is unhesitatingly re garded as a question merely of time, and its ear liest possible, accomplishment is argued for with great earnestness. We have seen it suggested, with what truth however we cannot say, that Southern money pays for these anti-Northern ebullitions. The American reader may be provoked at the spirit of the artiole on our national affairs; but we can assure him that he will find in the remain ing articles enough of instructive and interesting matter to justify his overlooking the objection able feature of the Review. The papers on "Aids to Faith" and "The Teeping Rebellion" we regard itS especially valuable. As the year is now drawing to a close, we would advise our ministerial ,and other readers to sub scribe at once for the London, and the three other leading . British Quarterlies, the price of which, with Blaokwood's Monthly, is the low sum of $lO a year. Subscriptions may be handed in to Henry Miner, Pittsburgh, or forwarded directly . to Leonard Scott 4. Co., the publishers, in New- York. Appleton's Railway and Steam Navigation Guide, For December, has been received. It will be found a valuable companion to travellers in the United States. Sunday School Convention. " The State Sunday School Convention, held in Philadelphia in May last, appointed a committee to select the place of holding the next annual meeting, and make all the necessary arrange ments. The Committee having learned that Mr. M. A. Wurts, officially connected viith a 'leading benevolent Society in Philadelphia, was about visiting this city on business, authorized him to lay before representatives of the different de nominations in Pittsburgh and Allegheny their request ' that the next meeting be held in this city, and to act as aloud committee to - select a suitable church, or hall, and make provision for the entertainment of the delegates from abroad. The following laymen were selected to represent the leading denominations in the two cities : United Presbyterian—Win. Frew, J. McCandless; New School Presbyterian—Benjamin P. Bake well ; Old School—D. Robinson,J. M. Burch field; Reformed Presbyterian=R. C. Miller.; German Reformed—W. E. Smertz ; Lutheran— Wm. P. Weyman ; Methodist Episcopal—Win. H. Kincaid, Win. W. Mair Methodist Protestant— Win. Miller, R. H. Marshall; Episook4,l 7 -0. O. Phillips, H. L. Bollman ; Baptist—L. H. Eaton, J. G. Mustin. These gentlemen met in the ses sion-room of the First Presbyterian church, some time since, and organized by Mr. B. P. Bakewell moving that Wm. H. Kincaid act as temporary chairman, and D. Robinson as secre tary. On motiom of Mr. Win. Frew, the propo sition made through Mr. Wurts to hold the next convention in this city be cheerfully accepted, and that a suitable paper be prepared, express ing their willingness to enter upon the work kindly tendered them. The committee then per manently organized by the election of Mr. H. L. Bollman as Chairman, D. Robinson as Secretary, and W. E. Stnertz as Treasurer. . _ The olnimittee will probably hold its first reg ular meeting this week. Judge Piominated. WASHINGTON, December 16.—The President has nominated to the Senate, Caleb B. Smith, the present Secretary of the Interior, to be Jndge of the District Court of the United States for the District of Indiana. Congress, We may report progress on the part of our Na tional /tepresentatives, though but few Acts are yet passed. The disposition to sustain the President in his efforts to preserve and restore the country, is decided. The House has adopted .the following resolution : Resolved, That the Proolamation of the Presi dent, of the date of September 22, 1862, is war ranted by the Constitution. That the policy of emancipation, as indicated therein, is well adapted to hasten the restoration of peace, and is well chosen as a war measure, and , is the ex ercise of power with proper regard to the rights of citizens and the perpetuity of free govern ment. The Committee of Ways and Means will have all the appropriation bike in before the holidays, and are likely to report any financial may want. The bill for West Point Academy has already passed. The Operations at Fredericksburg. We shall give a. pretty full aocount of the op erations of our Grand Army at Fredericksburg. The importance of the contest makes every cir cumstance- interesting. We shall use official documents and telegrams of the Aseociated Press, as far as practicable. lIEDQUARTRRS, ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Thursday evening, Deo. 11, 1862. But little firing took place between one and three o'clock, during which time all the available . batteries were placed in position. They then numbered 176 guns. At a given signal all the batteries opened on the city. The fire was terrifio, but the rebel sharpshooters could not be driven from their hiding places. The shot and shell went crashing through the houses, in many cases setting them on fire, causing a dense smoke, together with the explosion of so large a quantity of powder, which almost hid the city from view. It soon became evident that the bridges could not be built, except by a bold dash. Volunteers were called for to cross, in small boats. The or der was no sooner given than hiindreds of braves stepped forward, hut all could not go. About one hundred were selected. They were soon on their way, while the artillery threw ,a perfect storm of iron hail ou the opposite bank. They reached the opposide side, but not without loss. With fixed bayonets they rushed upon the enemy, killing several, and taking 101 prisoners, who were safely landed on this side. At half-past four o'clock two bridges were fin ished opposite the city, when the troops imme diately began to cross over. The enemy were soon driven from the city back to their line, of works. The two bridges in front of Gen. Fran klin were successfully laid early in the day, but his troops did not cross until the two upper ones were ready. A sufficient force is now on the op posite side of the river to resist any attack that is likely to be made. The rebels fired but few guns in the morning, and none in the afternoon, although their works were in easy range. During the forenoon the rebels burnt the rail road bridge just outside the city. Between thirty and forty houses were burnt, mostly in the business part of the city. During the day between 8,000 and 9,000 rounds of ammunition were fired by our artil lery. Everything is quiet to-night. The indioatione i are that a battle will be fought to-morrow. Ap. proved. A. E. BURNSIDE SATURDAY, Deo. 18, 11 A. M.—The battle now progressing. Gen. Reynolds' corps, on the left, advanced at an early hour, and at 9:15 engaged the enemy's infantry. Seven minutes after, the rebels opened a heavy fire of artillery, whioh continued up to PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, .62. this morning without interruption. Their ar tillery fire must be at random, as the fog obstructs all view. SATURDAY EVENIND.—The fog began to disap pear at 11 o'clock this morning, affording an un obstructed view of our and the enemy's position. It was evident that the first ridge of hills in tbe rear of the city, on which the enemy had hie guns posted behind earthworks, could not be carried except by a charge of infantry. General Sumner assigned that duty to French's division, supported by Gen. Howard's. The troops ad vanced to the works at ten minutes before 12 o'clock, at a brisk run. The enemy's guns opened a rapid fire upon them. When within musket range of the base of the ridge, they were net by a ter rible fire from rebel infantry, who were posted behind a stonewall and some houses on the right of the line. This checked their advance, and they fell back to a small ravine, but not out of musket range. At this time another body of troops moved to their assistance in splendid sty] e, notwithstanding the gaps made in their ranks by the rebel artillery. When they arrived at the first line they advanced on double quick, and with command of fixed bayonets, endeavored to dishidge the rebels from their hiding places. A concentrated fire of artillery and infantry, which they were forced to face, was too much, and the centre gave way in disorder, but were rallied and brought back. From that time the fire was spir ited, and never ceased until some time after dark ness set in this evening. Gen. Franklin, who commanded the attack on the left, met with better suceesS. He succeeded af ter a hard day's fight, in driving the enemy about one mile at one time. The rebels advanced to attack, but were repulsed with terrible slaughter and loss of between four and five hundred pris oners, belonging to Gen. A. P. Hill's command. Gen. Franklin's movement was directed down the river, and his troops encamped to-night not far from, the Massapotonex. creek. Our troops Sleep tonight where this); fought to-day, the dead and wounded being carried from the field of battle to-night. The following is the list of officers killed and wounded as far as known: Gen. Jackson, of the Pennsylvania Reserves, killed; Gen. Bayard, struck on the thigh by a shell, since dead; Gen. Vinton, wounded in the side, but not seriously; Gen., Gibbons wounded in hand; Gen. Kimball received a wound in the thigh ; Gen. Caldwell wounded in two places, but not seriously; Col. Sinclair, of Pennsylvania, seriously wounded; Capt. Hendrickson, commanding 9th New-York militia, wounded seriously. Musketry firing ceased at about 6 o'clock, but the rebels continued throwing shells into the city ' until 8 P. M. The position of the rebel forces was as follows: Gen. Longstreet was on the left, and held the main works of the enemy; Gen. A. P. Hill and Gen. Jackson were in front of Gen. Franklin, with Jackson's right resting on the ,Rappahan nook; Gen.' D. H. force acting as a re serve, SUNDAY mossixo, 11:30.—There is no fog to day. The sun is shining brightly with a strong breeze. At daylight this morning there was a heavy fire of artillery and infantry in front of the first line of works where Sumner and Hook er were engaged yesterday. The fire slackened about an hour afterwards and then was heard only at intervals until now. The same occurred in front of Gem Franklin, down the river. The object of both parties was evidently to feel the other. Daring the night and this forenoon the rebels considerably extended their works and strengthened their position. Large bodies of troops are now to be seen where but few were found yesterday. Our dead which were killed yesterday while charging in front of the enemy's works, still remain where they fell. When at tempting their removal the rebels would open fire with their infantry. The wounded have all been removed from. the field, and all the dead obtained are now being buried. The indicaticins are that no decisive ._ battle will be fought to-day, unless the rebels should bring on the engagement, which they will not probably do. After the above, the telegraph was, for a while, silent. It then dashed our bright hopes in dis appointment, as follows : WASHINGTON, December 16.—The following has been received by the Military Telegraph, dated Falmouth,-December 16th,, 8:.16 A.. M.: The rain is falling very fast, and the river is rising rapidly. Our troops are all on this side of the river. The pontoons are up. 2= DEC. 16, 1:45 P. M.—During last night the ar my evacuated their position , on the apposite side of the river. The movement was a perilous one, but was conducted in safety. The artillery was the first to cross; the last of the infantry brought up the rear shortly after daylight , this morning. The enemy never discovered the movement until it was too late to do us any . harm. As soon as the last man was over, the pontoon bridges were removed, cutting off all communication. Our wounded are all safe on this side of the river. There was a heavy wind all last night, with con siderable rain, which assisted us in preventing the rebels from learning our intentions. gommtrcial. Pittsburgh MarkeS. WEDNESDA Y, Noe. 19,1862.

DlED—Near Slatelick, Armstrong Co., Pa., October 15th, 1862, Miss NEUSS& A.; youngest daughter of William and Elizabeth Kiskadden, aged 15 years. The subject of this brief notice was the ob ject of more tban ordinary parental solioitude, being the youngest of eight daughters. It was not strange, therefore, that the lamb of the flock should become the centre of stronger and more ardent affection. And yet in the providence of God these parents were called to look upon this budding flower as the very first to fade of .all that paw remained in their garden. In an un expected hour, and in the midst of apparent per t feat health, diptheria, which has recently deso lated so many firesides, made its sudden and insidious approach; and no medioal aid seemed to arrest its progress, until the fatal - work was done. But in pli this bereavement, the cup whieh these parents were galled to drink, was not cne ,of unmingled bitterness. - Though the child ; which they had bored so well, had not made a : i public 'profession of the name of Christ, she was the child of prayer, and consecration to God. And more than that, she had not forgot • ten the God of her fathers. Naturally of a very diffident and retiring disposition, it was only when the !solemnities of such an hour came upon her, that she was able to lay it aside. Then the deep thoughts of her heart found, utterance in words which revealed the child's faith, and hope there, the work of God's Spirit. When told that she could not live long, she replied, u I re :„joice,ths.t I am going to die, and rest in heaven, ' where parting will be known no more. DlED—Near Slatelick, Armstrong Co., Pa., October 31st, 1862, of diptheria, Miss SARAH i JANE EISKADDEN, aged 18 years. It was only about one year after this young I disciple had made a public profession of her ' faith to Christ, that her trust in her Saviour was called to endure the most severe of , all earth ly tests. She had stood by and seen her ~ younger sister, ,throngh suffering, pass away from her vision, with all the sweet and cherished memories of life's: morning. And yet in the midst of all those tears which she shed, there : were no hard thoughts of God. Rather, she-re membered the beautiful hope that God had given her sister, as an anchor of the soul, for such trying hour, and she sought for such an assurance for herself, that she, too, might leave a testimony for Jesus. Even when she stood and looked for the last time at the quiet resting-place where kind friends had laid her sister's body, she remarked to some one that she kerself would be the next that would be brought to the silent, narrow house. And the"utterance seemed almost prophetic. In less than two -weeks, the same fatal disease laid her low, but she only calmly waited for the voice that was to call her to an eternal rest.. , During the last night of her suffering, she looked up and naught. a glimpse of her pastor, who stood near her, and said, " MY dear pastor Last Sabbath week I was at church. Next Sab- Sabbath I will be there again—my body in the graveyard, and my soul in heaven." Shortly atter, some one having remarked, "She is fall ing asleep," she replied, "Yes, in Jesus." " He shall gather the lambs with his arms, and carry them in his bosom." DlED—Oetober 27th, 1862, near Edinburgh, Ohio, of diptheria, JAMES _R. HATFIELD, in the 16th year of his age. He became an anxious inquirer after salva tion, during a precious revival of religion, en joyed by Apple Creek church in 1860. In the Spring of that year he gave credible evidence that a work of grace was in progreis in his soul. Owing to his youth, (being only in his fourteenth year,) he was counselled by his parents not to unite for some time with the church. Accord ingly he did not make a profession of religion until the last communion season of that year. He gave the Session very satisfactory evidence of piety. His life since has been circumspect. Ile was indeed an exemplary young man. He tried •to walk as besometh the Gospel. He bid fair for a long and useful life. He was, how ever, suddenly attacked with diptheria in a ma lignant form. His sufferings were intense, yet he bore them without murmuring. Until the last, he took a deep interest in the conversation and prayers of his riligions friends. , He east all his care upon his Saviour, and found him precious. He was willing to depart and be with Christ. A short time before hie death, he prayed, " Lord Jesus, come quickly, and take me to thy heavenly home to rest." He requested his friends to sing for him the 316th hymn : " How happy are they, Who the Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasure above; 0 what tongue can express The sweet comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love!" We trust that ite obtained peace and joy in lily ; victory and triumph in death ; and glory, honor, and immortality in heaven. "Brother, thou wert mild and lovely, Gentle ay m'Summer breeze ; Pleasant as the air of. evening, When it floats among the trees. „ Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low ; Thou no more wilt join our number, Thou no more our sorrows know.” fi A. V DlED—October 21st, MAGGtE JANE HAT FIELD, aged 21 years, 10 months, and 16 days. Maggie Jane was born and reared in Apple Creek, Wayne County, Ohio. In early childhood she evinced a knowledge of Divine truth beyond most children of that age. She committed to memory the whole of the Shorter Catechism when she was a mere child. She possessed a most amiable disposition, endearing herself to all who came within the circle of her acquaint ance ;*she was always cheerful and kind, ardent ly attached to her friends; she shed an agree able air in whatever circle she moved. She re garded the will of her parents as law in all things, and would sacrifice her own comfort and feelings rather than disobey 'her permits in any thing. She was always thoughtful and tender on the subject of religion, but she did not make a public profession until the Summer of 186 0, when it pleased the Great Head of the Church to grant a gracious outpouring of his Spirit to the Church of Apple Creek. Maggie Jane was among the first that found the pearl of great , . price at that time. Grace shed a hallowed sweet ness around all her former , loveliness, as was delightfully, manifested -on a dying bed. She was attacked by, that terrible disease, diptheria, and,suffered intensely.;, yet her mind was clear, calm, and peaceful. In much pain she sang the praises of her precious Saviour, and exhorted all around her with that pathos with which only a dying Christian can plead, to prepare to meet death in the triumph of living faith in Christ. This is .the , victory over : death, in which the Christian sings, " 0 death, where is thy sting? 0 grave, where is thy victory ?" She distributed mementoes to her parents, and to all her brothers and sisters, and bade them all an affectionate farewell, telling them to meet her in heaven, where parting is no more. Soon her winged spirit took its eight to the mansions of eternal glory. 4 ‘ Farewell! the only dews that fall llpan thy grass-grown bed, Are like the thoughts that now recall Thine image from the dead. A.blessing hallo wsthy dark cell— I will not stay to weep. Farewell!" Dearest sister, thou hest left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel But 't is God that bath bereft us, He eau all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled ; Then, in heaion, with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed.

Dr. ALDEN, late President of Jefferson College, proposes to giro it course of Instruction to a Class of Young Ladies who have finished their School Education. He will meet the Class one hour a day, four days in the week, from the fi nit of November to the first of May. No text-books will be used; but, in connexion with the discussion of topics, references will be made to the best authors, for the benefit of those members of the class who have lefsure for reading. The course will be conducted in such a manner, that those who can command one hour daily, can secure all its advan tages. Dr. A. will endeavor, by questiontng!" and oral dis cussions, to lead his pupils to perceive truth for themselves. An experience of more than a quarter of a century spent in teaching, has convinced him that he can beet benefit his pu pile by placing them face to face with truth, without the agency or books. Words cannot, then, be easily mistaken fur things. Special attention will be given to the expreselon of thought by word and pen. ft is presumed that the members of the proposed class have acquired, from the study of books, such a degree of mental discipline and such a knowledge of facts BS will ren der them prepared for the higher grade of instruction stilted to the moat advanced class in college. The following subjects will receive attention : 1. INTELLECTUAL Puitosornr 2. Molest PHILOSOPHY. S. PRINCIPLES or RHETORIC ESE OIHTICISX ASH BSOLISH LiTuterinte. 4. PosinoAL PHILOSOPHY, including PRINCIPLES OP GOVERNMENT, PRINCIPLES OF LEGISLATION, CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, POLITICAL ECONOMY, Irturatertoma, LAW. 60 5. NATURAL THEOLOGY. 16. Bviozscas OF CHRISTIANITY. On there topics, the pupils will be led, as ter as may be, to perceive truth for themselves. At the close of each exercise, Dr. A. will remain to criti cise an essay prepared by a member of the clam. He will also be ready, at all times, to give advice as to reading and other departments of mental effort. TERMEI—S/00 for the Course ; payable $5O November Ist, and $llO March Ist. Applications can be made to Dr. Alden, No. SS East-22d St, or to W. L. Alden, BK., 48 Pine Street. The following will show the estimation hi which the enter prise is held by distinguished citizens of New-Tork From Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, D.D., Rector of St. George's The above plan and course eminently deserve and meet my approbation, ea extremely calculated to prepare the young ladies, to whom it refers, for thehighest usefulness and the moat rational happiness of life. I believe Dr. Alden to be highly qualified to work out the plan he has propmed, with SUCCESS. STEPHEN H. TYNG. Prom Wrn. C'. Bryant, My I sin glad to learn that the Rev. Dr. Alden is about to un dertake the Instruction, in this city, of a class of young la dies in certain branches belonging to the most advanced stage of education, and involving principles by which ques tions relating to the' ost important interests of society are decided. I have a very high opinion of Dr. Alden, both as a man and as aArnstrnctor. The extent and exactness of his attainments, his clearness and facility of communication. and his kindly manners, are, qualifications of a high order; but he adds to these one of inestimable value: that of taking a profound interest in the task of instruction, and placing Ids ambition in the skilful and succwasful inculcation of knowl edge. The opportunity of being taught by such a man—so well endowed, so experienced, and so dialthlgniShed in his vocation—is not efts' presented to young ladies anywhere, and I cannot doubt that many will make baste to take ad vantage of it. It will be a favorable symptomof the state of ianelligence and the love of useful knowledge In this commn- Aity, If this class shoulitbe immediately filled np.. WM. O. BRYAw, T. Prom: Chas. King, LI:14, President of Coluinbia Collect. Dr. Alden proposes to: form and Instruct a Class of Young Ladies, who, having Reseed through the elementary parte of education; may desire tb.proceed to some higher culture. Dr. Alden is thoroughly capable—has the benefit of much experience as a teacher—and the enthusiasm in his vocation which begets enthusiasm, and so ensures success. CH. RING. Prom Rev. Isaac Perth, D.D., LL.D., Chancellor of the University of the (Pity of New-York. I regard it as one or the most important events in the de partment of education, that a higher t nurse of mental train ing is about to be offered to young ladies, who have comple ted the Usual Academic studies, by Dr. J. Alden, President of Jefferson College. No man within the range of my acquaint ance is better fitted than he to accomplish what he proposes in his circular. His past success is a sufficient guarantee of what he will do m this, altogether new, effortin our city. I do most heartily commend the matter to my lady friends. ISAAC FRIULI& • Prone Horace Webster, LL.D.. President of the New-York hive examined; with ideasure, a plan proposed by the Rev. Dr. .1 lden, for a post-gmduate course of instruction for young ladies of this city. The plan is an excellent one; and, carried oat under the personal supervision of Dr. Alden, one of the most philosophic and distinguished educators in this country, cannot fail of proving highly beneficial to those who may enjoy the advantages= of his instruction. HORACE WEBSTER. *on Rev. R. Irenteue Prime, D.D., Senior Editor of the New-York Observer It has given me much satisfaction to hear that the Rev. Dr. 'Alden is about to enter upon the work of Education in this city. Re comes from the presidency of Jefferson where he has been eminently successful in all relations, be ing compelled by the health of the family to change hia resi dence., In his professorship at William, and -his presidency at Jefferson, he acquired a wide and well-earned reputation as a teacher, combining with thorough and varied scholar ship, a peculiarly facile, genial and pleasing method of im parting knowledge, making the mysteries of 'science' amity intelligible to the young, andrendering the abstruse studies of the higher departments of learning a pleasant pursuit, The plan that he- now proposes, will not fail to be appre ciated by parents who desire to give their daughters the ad vantages of the highest finish in intellectual Culture, under circumstances peculiarly favorable to their improvement and enjoyment. S. IREN/EIM PRIME. From Rea Edward Bright, Editor of the N. T. Examiner. I very cordially subscribe to all that my friend Prime has here said of the Rev. Dr. Alden and his enter Prise. EDW. BRIGHT. Prom Wm. Adams, AD, Pastor of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church. Having gmmt confidence in Rev. Dr. Alden a% a Successful teacher I cheerfully commend to the notice of my friend& his project as stated above. W. ADAMS. Prom Rev. Thos. R Irermilye,..D.D., LL.D., one of the Pas tors of the aottegiute Dutch Church. I have long been acquainted with Dr. Alden, and have long regarded bun as one or our most able and thorough instruo tors.: In the department to which he has devoted himself; as President of Jefferson College, he is, I think, unsurpassed, perhaps unrivalled. The plan for a Young Ladles' Post- Graduate Class covers that department, and I can have no doubt that it will be carried out with efficiency, and will be of singular advantage to those who *may avail themselves of it.
