MO Vrts4ttrian (tlartiter. PITTSBURGH, OCTOBER 21, 1863 The War. TILE .A.E.MY OF TOE POTOMAC has again become the chief object of interest—an in terest amounting to some degree of anxiety. The retreat which we noticed last week, as having commenced, was continued ; the enemy pressing bard upon the right flank, and following, closely on the rear. There was sonic severe fighting, but no general engagement. Our army, claims advan tages. Rebel reports make them great gainers. It was, however, not a General Pope retreat, but a skilfully conducted military movement, without any serious mistake or very great loss. The latest re liable accounts place Gen. Lee at Manassas Junction, his old advantageous position; and Gen. Meade at Centreville, some eighteen miles from Washington. We thus find the two armies precisely in the position in which they weie before the first. Bull Run battle, in July 1861, two years and three months ago. What fight , ings since; what slaughter; what wounds; what deaths in camp; what life-long dis eases contracted; what expenditures I And the two armies confronting each other, only a day's march in advance of our National Capital ! Twenty millions of Northern freemen again five millions of Southern slaveholders, and, at the end of thirty months warfare, still contending for our Capital and defending our border! It is humiliating. Where lies the fault? Is it in our soldiers ? In our Generals Or in those who raise and organize our armies, and who appoint and control our Generals ? Or does it lie back of all these, in our ruin ous political party &visions? And how much of the fault lies with us and our Christian readers, for wrong counsels, and (.injurious feelings, and for restraining prayer, and for partial prayer, forgetting the duty of forgiveness and neglecting pe titions for our enemies The great sin, in God's sight, the procuring and protracting - . o ause of our sufferings, may lie, possibly, :with those who most abound in justifying 'llemselves and in condemning others. ' An enlightened self-examination might be eatly useful. If we can make God our riend, all will be well. Reports have come that the enemy is in ,ree at Leesburg, and is crossing into aryland at the old passing place, Ed ward's Ferry. Doubtless he would desire to do so, and then to assail Washington on the North, where the defences are not * so strong; or to take Baltimore; or to pollute and plunder Pennsylvania's soil. We trust that our country shall be saved from all these calamities. Providence has sent heavy rains, raising the river, and making the roads too soft to move artillery and military stores with. rapidity. The comparative strength of the armies we are not able to state. Gen. Meade has 'received convalescents, returned deserters, And new recruits, making his army fully equal to what it was before Slocum's and Howard's corps were sent West. He is also now in a position in which he has the aid of Augur's corps, (late Heintzleman's,) which has the care of Washington. And he can have aid also from the Peninsula, within a very few days. Lee has been re inforced by new conscripts, perhaps fully equal in number to the troops he sent South. Still, we do not thing that he 'has a force adequate to make the advance which he made last June. THE ARMY OF THE CIIMBERTIAND was, at last dates, still hemmed in closely. in Chattanooga; but was regarded as being entirely safe. Its supplies were scarce, the men being, as is said, put on half rations. The prospect of plenty, however, was brightening. The railroad from Nashville to Bridgeport was .opened and repaired. From Bridgeport to Chattanooga, a distaned of about thirty miles of mountainous and bad road, wagons are used. The enemy had retired their batteries from Lookout and Missionary ridges. The motive was not known. Hooker's army was approach ing Roseerans ; and two divisions of Grant's army are on the way. The losses in the battle of Chickamauga were: killed, 1,656; wounded; 9,093; miss ing 5,067; total, 15,772. To these add the cavalry losses, said to be about 1,600, and we have in all, a loss of over 17,000. Thirty-six pieces of artillery were lost, and and a tew wagons. GEN. BURNSIDE continued about in the position of last week, North of. Chattanooga and East of Knoxville. BEFORE CHARLESTON, not much has been done recently. The assault of the rebels upon the frigate Ironsides was bold. They fitted up a small, swift steamer, with a torpedo containing sixty pounds of pow der at her bow, under the water, so con structed as to be fired. on concussion. She was managed by four men, _ and in the night got past our picket boats unobserved, and plunged directly on the. broad . -side of the frigate. The explosion was alarming, but tho ship suffered very little. The rebel craft sunk, and two of the men were picked up by our boats. This incident indicates the danger to which our vessels, are ex posed. If that little steamer had been armed with 600 pounds of powder, instead of 60, and if it had been so adjusted as to strike the lronsides near her keels,, she would have been blown to fragments. The rebels have learned by the experiment. They have also several iron-olad rains in the harbor, each with a spar projecting nailer water, to bear si torpedo, and assail our vessels if they should get past the ob structions. The Election. Full returns of the late elections are not yet published, but sufficient is given to show that the Government is sustained in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and lowa. In Ohio, the party victory is most triumph ant, say 70,000 to 80,000 majority for the Union ticket. In Pennsylvania the major ity is 15,000 to 20,000. In two weeks more the election in New- York and other States will take place. When these shall be over, the people may give themselves to the acquisition of other victories—victories in the battle fields. That the Administration may prosecute the war with vigor, it needs the moral influence of the, whole people. It needs the Gov ernors and Legislatures in all the States. .4nd it needs the religious community as really as it needs the politicians. Chris tians feel their obligation t 2 sustain the rulers whom God has given them. And rulers are bound equally on their part to show themselves worthy. The Divine requisition embraces a faithful discharge of duty on the part of each. The people have now voted, and they look to their !tiers for the response. Dr. Mott, President of Union College, is now in the 91st year of his age. Dr. Jeremiah Day, former President of Yale College, is living in New Haven, now in the 90th year of his age. I. T. Stewart, the well-known dry-goods merchant of New-York, has paid into the National Treasury the sum of $245,000 as his income tax for the present year. Remarkable Discoveries is Pompeii.—New discoveries are reported from Pompeii. A house has been uncovered, which, to judge from the splendor of its interior, and its almost perfect furniture, must have be longed to a very wealthy proprietor. The dining-room is paved with mosaic. The completely served table is 'covered with petrified remnants of dishes ; and around it are found three divans, or table-beds, of bronze, richly adorned with gold and sil ver, upon which reposed several skeletons. A great many precious jewels were found near them. On the table stood, among other ornaments, a very beautifully-worked statue of Bacchus in silver, with eyes of enamel, a collar of jewels, and precious armlets. - PRESBYTERIAL NOTICES.

Pittsburgh Generals Pittsburgh has four Generals in the volunteer service, all of whom have done good service. GEN. HAYS has had no opportunity of showing capacity for an independent command, but has met with decided success at the head of a Brigade. GEN. HERRON did admirable work in Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi. He is highly com plimented in a General Order by Major General Ord. He has been enjoying a few weeks on a visit nome, and his health is greatly benefited. He is about returning to his division, now in Louisiana. GEN. NEGLEY has seen much service in Ken tucky and Tennessee, and now ranks among our bravest commanders. Incessant labors and ex posures have operated severely on his health, and he is now with us, having just arrived from Chattanooga. thr,g. THOMAS A. ROWLEY, once in Mexico, went out in one of the first regiments, as Colo nel. He has been distinguished in many battles, and especially on the hard-fought field of Gettys burg. He is now in charge of the 11. S. interests at Portland, Maine. New Susie Mrs. Charlotte Blume, 43 Fifth Street, Pitts burgh, sends us the following songs : " Babylon is Fallen." Sequel to " Kingdom Coming." Words and Music by Henry C. Work. Mailed at 25 cents, on receipt of the price. " Memory Bells." Written and Composed by .Henry Tucker, Composer of " Weeping, Sad and Lonely," &c. Price by mail, 80 cents. " Hiss me, Mother, ere ,I'm Dead." Music Composed by M. Keller. Price by mail, 30 cents. "Babylon is Fallen," is well adapted to pro voke a hearty laugh, or at least a good-natured smile ; " Memory Bells " will doubtless chime in admirably with the feelings of such as love to dream and sigh for loved ones far away ; while the last song cannot fail to bring to remembrance the sterne; and sadder realities of human ex istence. The Election in Allegheny County OOVEENOR Andrew G. Curtin - 17,708 George W. Woodiard 19,953 Curtin'® majority 7,665. BIIPAZItg Daniel Agnew 17,570 W. H. Lowrie 10,355 Agnew's majority.... The majorities for the Republican candidates for the other offices were about the same as that of Jukge Agnew; thus showing that Gov. Curtin ran about four hundred and forty votes ahead of ihe'party ticket—a note-worthy comment on the conduct of his detractors. The majority for Curtin, in Allegheny County, in 1860, , was 6,889, being 966 lees than at the late election.

On the contrary, we hear from those on whose sources of information we have every reason to rely, that the President expresses great gratification with the manner in which Gen. Meade has conducted the recent movements of his army. • Dispatches from Harper's Ferry say that all is quiet there, at Martinsburg, and along the entire line of the railroad. Dispatches from Charleston to the 16th, hi the Richmond papers, say that the . enemy continues vigorous operations. Enlisting Negroes is the Border States. WASHINGTON, October 17.—D is Said that a general order will be issued by the War Depart ment, in a few days, providing for the enlistment of colored troops in the States of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia, and Ten nessee. All loyal owners will be allowed three hundred dollars for each slave that may enlist, the slave to be free at the expiration of his term of enlistment.. The slaves of disloyal , masters will also be enlisted, but they ; will not be paid for them. ompliment to Wheeler & Wilson's sewing The benefits of this wonderful invehtion in crease every year of the trial. There are no dangers attending its use, but real pleasure as well as profit in its results. Indeed it seems to realize the power of good fairies, such as chil- . dren love and believe in—their elders often re gret that they have outlived , this pleasant faith —more than any other of the labor : saving in ventions. The sewing machine comes into the heart of home; it helps in the domestic circle; it has an important influence on family interest and social happiness. No wonder that good men are willing t,o sound its praises, that poets, orators, Divines, philosophers, and economists, have descanted upon its 'bearings on social in terests and the destiny of woman. It is worthy of this praise.

He united with the church of Linton at its or ganization, in August 1833, in Which lie was a strong pillar until the day of his death. He was chosen to the office of Ruling Elder, November 1846; hence he was a soldier of the cross thirty years and a Ruling Elder seventeen. He was a faithful Christian, a worthy ruler, an upright citizen, and a law-abiding member of society. In his death the church has lost a worthy mem ber, his family a kind parent, and society an honorable citizen. His piety was deep, his love. ardent, his faith lively, and his zeal burning. His last end was calm and peaceful. "How blest the righteous when he dies." DIED—On September sth, 1863, Mr. WIL LIAM DONALDSON, Sr., in the 74th year of his age. He first became a sufferer from gravel and disease of the bladder nearly two years .ago. But through timely application of suitable means, he recovered in a measure, and was able for some fifteen months to again take his plane in the sanctuary. In the month of August of the current year, he was prostiated with dysentery ; and when this was checked, the disease of old standing returned with a power that resisted the influence of all•remedial agencies, and in -a few days caused the earthly house of his tabernacle to be dissolve& ' Mr: D. was born in Washington County, not : far from the banks of the Monongahela River, • and within the bounds of Mingo , Creek congre ' gallon. He was of Scotch-Irish descent, was ! raised in a religions manner, and received his early Gospel training under the ministry of that venerable man of God, Rev. Dr. Ralston. Like his first pastor, he was a lover of all the .doc trines of grace. Over forty years ago, and just ; after his marriage, he removed into. Allegheny County, and settled within the bounds of Bethel congregation, of which he became 'a regular at ' tendant,,and, soon after, a communicating mem ber, under the ministry of Rev. Wm. Woods, of ';whom he ever spoke with great tenderness, and lor whom, as an earnest and godly minister of Christ, he had the most sincere regard. ' ' In 1838 he was elected and ordained a Ruling ,ISlder in Bethel church. When first called by the earnest voice of the people to this offioe, he Iseemed: to shrink from it, as requiring piety and. •ether qualifications beyond what he supposed hiliimself to be - in possession. •But after much meditation and earnest prayer, he saw his way taker to accept the. office. And from that day TER the day of .his death, he was an humble, tfaithful, and earnest elder—one that loved the )house of God, the prayer-meeting, and Sabbath Ochool. lie was always ready to do his part in sail things pertaining to the good o f the church, and to which God in his providence called him. He was kind, affable, and gentle, 'having always a kind word for both saint and sinner. He loved the purity, peace and prosperity of the church ; and to secure these, he both la bored and prayed. And often by his presence :and earnest prayer, did he cheer the heart and mtrengthen the hands of his pastor. He was, an :ardent lover of civil and religious liberty, hating 411• oppression, and believing firmly that God in drnded, and had so - taught in his Word, that dhese were blessings for all mankind, high and low, black and white. This subject of human :liberty was so inwrought in his soul, so-imbed ded in his heart, that when any attempt was made to contravene this great principle, he could have no patience, and doubted whether any, slaveholder had a right to communion in God's Church. But excited feeling with him was only, momentary—like a passing cloud; the heart soon became oalm, and the countenance cheerful. Re left a morning widow, and five children, all members of the church, and all to feel the loss - of the prayers's. and - counsels of such a father. But he has gone I We shalt see him no more here—no more in the sanctuary, prayer meeting, and Sabbath School. But we doubt not our, loss is his eternal gain. "For I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord," /to. Farewell, father and brother! we hope soon to meet you where there shall be no parting. DIED—On Sabbath night„ September 12th, .1863, Mr. ROBERT DONALDSON, in the 72d year of his age; and for many years an humble and consistent member of Bethel church. The disease that-removed him from our midst ,was inflammation of the kidneys. He was a sufferer for nearly two years; most of the time "Unable to visit the sanctuary. These . sufferings he bore •with uncomplaining submission, ever feeling that God knew what was best for him. He was a brother of Wm. Donaldson, whose de mise we have just recorded. The providence of God was remarkable in taking these two broth ers within such a short period of each other. They were raised ander the same ministry; be came attached to the same 'church ; lived in 'close proximity to each other ; saw each other almost daily; and always loved each other as brothers should. - They were pleasant, cheerful and kind in life, fled by death were not long separated from each other. This brother was at the funeral of` the other, on the preceding Sabbath, and on the next passed away, as we hope, to meet him in heaven. 14r. Donaldson was a quiet and reserved lan ; one always esteemed by his neighbors, very charitable to the poor and needy, fond 'of peace, and &peacemaker. He loved the Church, &ought her peace and prosperity, attended so long as able, her ordinances, and was always ready to do his part in sustaining the Gospel at home and sending it abroad. He has left a mourning widow, and one daughter' and son-in-law, with grand-children, to think of his worth, to remem ber his counsels, and imitate his virtues: He loved truth and righteousness, and, like his brother, hated oppression, and earnestly longed that liberty, civil and religious, might soon be come the rich boon of all flesh. He was the friend of all good men, and especially ministers of the Gospel. And his kind and cheering words often gave comfort and encouragement to his pastor. But those we love most, and with whom we have taken sweet counsel, must die and pass away. In the removal of these two brothers, Bethel ohurch has experienced a loss not soon to be made up. But why should we mourn ? If uni ted to Christ, as we hope and believe, they are no* happy ; free from all care, pain and sorrow. And yet when such men are called away, we can not but mourn. We miss them sorely and sadly. Let God's people hear his voice in these provi deuces, and be excited to examine their state and character, and work in the Master's service whilst the day lasts. And let the mourning friends of him taken, trust in, the Lord, follow the Saviour earnestly and prayerfully, and soon they will hear the Lord Jesus say, Come up higher. And then all that was dark and painful in these mysterious dispensations of Providence, will be made clear as the light of day ; and this knowledge then melted, enhance the happiness of that state upon Which they shall/then have entered. " Why should we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarm? 'Tie but the voice that. Jesus sends To call them to his arme.fi DIED—On the morning of October 3d, of consumption, in the 35th year of her age, Miss ASENATII ADAMS, daughter of Mr. Johnston Adams. It has been often said that death loves a shining mark. So it has been in this case. This dearsister in Christ was pleasant and lovely in life, and no less so when shrouded in the habiliments of the grave. She had been for some seven or eight years a member of Bethel °hunch. She loved the house of God, the social prayer-meet ing, and the Sabbath School. In the latter she was a punctual and faithful teacher, so long as able to wend her way to the house of God. little over a year ago, she was a faithful and an affectionate watcher at ,the death-bed of her youngest sister, who' wasted away under the power of this same fatal disease. Perhaps then and there, through weariness, anxiety, and watching, she caught the seeds of that disease which recently ripened in death. She was the fifth 'daughter that, together with the beloved mother, has passed away to the spirit land during the ministry of the writer; and all, save one, within less than twenty years. And now but three remain—two sons and a daughter—together with the aged father, of a family once large, and happy in each other's love and society. One of these sons has been in the Army of the Potomac for over two years Lieut. Adams, of Co. H, 62d Iteg't P. V. He went forth with a heart full of patriotism, in defence of his country, was severely wounded - at Mal vern Hill, and afterwards, as a prisoner, was made to experience a portion of the horrors of the Libby prison, in Richmond. God, in his kind providence, was pleased to spare his life and allow him to sit by the bedside of his dying sister, and cheer her last hours with a brother's presence and love. And what shall we say to the aged father, now left alone, so far as any children at home are concerned ; left solitary; left in declining years to feel the loss of the one he had hoped would stand by his dying-bed, and wipe with - her soft hand the damp sweat of death from his brow. But so it was not to be. But we know that he has a Friend that- stioketh closer than a brother. Father, weep not ! thy loved and lovely Asenath is, not dead, but sleepeth. She is not; for Jesus has called her . up higher. Yes, We doubt not she has gone to „join that blood-washed throng who are around the throne, and who cease not to sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Brothers and sisters, in the hour of your sorrow, remember Jesus loved her far more than you could ; and whilst she was yet young in years, has taken her away from every stormy blast. G. W. T Bethel church mourns the loss or many re cently, and none more than this dear sister ; and yet we cannot but rejoice.that she and they have gotten - home to rest and glory. Soon will all those who have died in Jesus, and their friends" yet upon earth who love the Saviour, meet to part no more. G. M.
