PITTSBURGH, NOVEMBER 4, 1863
The -War.
THE ARMY OE TUE CUMBERLAND is now
receiving supplies, in Chattanooga, more
abundantly, and is enjoying comfort. Our
troops, on the west side of the Tennessee
forced a passage over it, some miles below
the town, and compelled the enemy to
abandon Lookout Mountain. Chattanooga
is thus relieved from its exposure to the
enemy's shells, from that direction, and the
navigation of the river is opened, so that
steamers can pass in safety. The small re
sistance made by the rebels against this
movement shows that a - portion of their
troops have been withdrawn.
What the enemy's intentions are, is not
yet fully manifest. A large force is still
threatening Grant's communications with
Murfreesboro. And a still greater force,
probably the bulk of his army, seems to be
passing East and North of Chattanooga,
and to endanger Burnside's corps. At last
accounts they had crossed the Hiawassee.
This gives some probability to a report that
Lee has seat a corps of his army from
Lynchburg to attack Burnside from the
North, and thus between two forces to
crush his army. The danger we do not re
gard as being imminent. Burnside may be
reinforced; or he can retire in time. Grant
has now, under his command, in East Ten
nessee, or approaching it, the armies of.
Thomas (late Rosecrans'), Burnside, Hook
er, and Sherman; and an attack is not likely
to be so secret or sudden on any point, but
that he can concentrate a force adequate to
repel it, and turn the contest into a victory.
VERY MUCH PROGRESS we do not expect
from Gen. Grant for some time, unless the
enemy should bring on a battle and be de
feated. To fully possess Southwestern
Virginia and Eastern Tennessee will be an
important work. It will require some time;
but it is entirely practicable. Dalton, in
Georgia, is not far from Chattanooga, and is
an important point, which should be speedi
ly possessed. And next to that, our army
might advance on Rome; and possibly on
Atlanta. If we were thoroughly planted at
Atlanta, Eastern Rebeldom would be nearly
severed ; but that is an advance which ought
hardly to be risked, without a large acces
sion to our forees. One thing may make
it practicable, that is, the display of loy
alty in the region. The mountainous
country of East Tennessee, Northern Geor
gia, and Northern Alabama, has ever been
claimed as strongly Union. If such is
the case, and if even half the reports of
desertions from the rebels and of recruits
to our armies, are true, Grant's advance to
Atlanta, by New Year's day, may be-con
fidently expected.
GEN. BANKS is advancing in force upon
Texas. The report of his having Browns
ville was premature; though it is still af
firmed that he is starting an expedition to
that point. There is no doubt, however,
but that he is pressing westward, by land,
with the main body of his troops. At last ac
counts, Oct. 21st, he was in Opelousas, near
the Texan border, and advancing.
CHARLESTON has been again saluted with
shells and Greek fire. Batteries Wagner
and Gregg, on the 26th, opened on Forts
Sumpter, Moultrie, and Johnson'. A few
guns were directed, on Charleston. Three
of the Monitors participated. The firing
the first day was regarded as experimental,
to get the range. It was afterwards in
creased, and was principally directed against
Sumpter. Up to the evening of the 29th,
1,250 shots from large mortars and 300-
pounder Parrotts, had been thrown against
the fort. The long delay has been to make
preparations, and especially to arrange for
removing the obstructions and torpedoes
from the channel leading to the inner har
bor and to this end Sumpter must be ac
tually possessed.
GEE. BUTLER., it is said, is reappointed
to his old position, at Fortress Monroe;
his department to extend to Newburn, N.
C. Gen. Foster, who is thus superseded,
reports at Washington. General Butler
showed great efficiency in the administra
tion of affairs in New-Orleans. In the
field he has manifested no prowess. He
possesses far more of the civilian, than of
the military commander; more of the law
yer than the General.
THE ARMY or THE POTOMAC has been
exceedingly busy in repairing the railroad.
The road will be rebuilt to the Rappahan
nock, in a few days. Cars ran on Saturday
to Warrenton, where Gen. Meade again had
his headquarters. The rebels still hold the
railroad crossing of the Rappahannock, but
will be repelled when our army is ready to
advance. No serious battle is probable,
under two or three weeks. Meade may go
as far as the Rapidan, where he 'was some
weeks ago, and where Pope once was ; but
farther he cannot go, unless his army is
greatly increased, or Lee's very much dimin
ished. We have not men enough in our
armies to penetrate far into the enemy's
country; not enough to make short work,
to save life, and gain peace. Soldiers, nu
merous as well as good and true, are indis
pensable to the needed victories.
Money.
"Money is the • sinews of war." And
money, so far, our Government has in great
abundance. Last week the receipts from
internal revenue were over eight millions ;
and the receipts on loan, over thirty-six
millions. The people sustain the country
nobly-in this respect. Our financial scheme
has worked wonderfully well; and it has
so fully the confidence and praise of the
country, that the individual or the journal
which would intimate danger ahead, or
even suggest a caution, would be set down
'as a croaker. And 'still, though we have
put into Government Stocks every dollar of
our patrimony, and would lend more if we
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1863.
had it, yet we cannot repel the thought,
that we never have known an individual
who very freely used his good and undoubt
ed credit, who did not fail.
Now, how long can the national treasury
stand it, borrowing ten millions, twenty
millions, thirty-six millions a week, and
paying back nothing ? How long will the
business and the property of the country
bear an expenditure of over $2,200,000 a
day ? It might be well for us to use our
arithmetic a little, and, as advised by the
Divine Word, count the cost of our scheme.
For ourselves, approving of the finan
cial policy of the Government, and sustain
ing it cordially, we have, from the first,
thought it liable to one objection, that is,
the, taxation is deficient. A tax bill adapt
ed to raise twice or three times the
yet provided for, should, have been passed
in connexion with the first loan bill. Oar
borrowings would thus have been less, and
our money would have retained more near
ly the value of gold, and the people would
have felt more interest in the affairs of
their country. England bears a peace tax
which is far greater than even our war tax.
Our loans, until recently, have been al
most entirely from our own people. This
is regarded as an excellent feature in our
finances. Foreigners, however, are now
beginning to invest in our stocks; and it is
to them a matter of great profit. The
price of gold is now, say, 146; that is,
$68.63 in gold will buy $lOO of legal ten
ders, or a one hundred dollar 5.20 13. S.
bond bearing 6 per cent interest; the in
terest to be paid semi-annually in gold ; and
the principal in gold at the end of five to
twenty years. Thus $68.63 invested by
the foreigner, brings him six dollars of in
terest annually, and one hundred dollars
of principal in the end. He hence has an
interest of 8 per cent. nearly; and when
pay day shall coma, he will receive an ad
vance of 46 per cent. upon his original in
vestment. Well may foreigners invest
with us, on such terms; but it will be hard
for the business of the country to bear such
an exodus of gold, or prodUce either, (the
sweat of man's face,) to pay interest and,
principal.
Now, as we must have money and are
glad to get it from any quarter, what is the
practical import of all these thoughts ?
It is, 1. That we ourselves, take the Gov
vernment Stocks. 2. That we increase the
taxes, so as to borrow less and on better
terms. 3. That we suspend our dissen
tious, uphold the Government, recruit our
armies, and put forth our energies, not by
halves, but in full force, so as to conquer a
peace, and need no more borrowings ; and
so as to tax the seceded States, that they
may help to pay the debt. We are in for -
a war with rebels, and there is but one way
of getting through it safely.
IiIINTUCKY PRESBYTERIANS LOYAL
Our Kentucky brethren are not all as
loyal as we could desire. If they were, the
misnamed True Presbyterian would not
have a being. Bat, as a body, they stand
on the same platform with the General
Assembly. A minister of Kentucky, wri
ting to the Presbyter and commenting on
some of that journal's remarks, says :
"I think you have been misinformed.
The most extended of the Assembly's de
liverances on the state of the country was
drawn up by a Kentuckian; and I am not
aware of a solitary Presbytery in this State
that has protested against that action. I
am aware, however, of several of our Pres
byteries refusing to protest. And I am
quite certain that not even a majority of
oar Synod—much less a majority of the
loyal part of it—is opposed to the action of
the Assembly in 1862; and even of those
that do oppose it, there are some whose op
position rests on mere grounds of expedi
ency, and not of general principle."
In regard to some measures, Christians
there differ from us; but where there is a
hearty cooperation in accomplishing the
great end, the suppression of the rebellion
and the maintenance of the Government.,
we can tolerate some variety of sentiment.
... PRACTICAL IJMUN.
The Old and New School Presbyterian
Churches in New Philadelphia, Ohio, have
untied as one church, under the pastoral
care of Rev. D. E. WELLS, in connexion
with the Presbytery of Steubenville. This
is a union of Christians who were well ac
quainted with each other, and is doubtless
accomplished in the lovely spirit of brother
hood.
Since the union was effected, the con
gregation hai , e refitted their church at an
expense of $790, and furnished it with a
cabinet organ. The house of God is thus
beautified and made comfortable. To have
a neat and tasteful church is a, Christian
duty. It befits the Gospel. It is an hon
oring of God, who decorates the 'bills and
.vales, and garnishes the heavens, and who
gives us all things richly to enjoy.
Where there is union, peace, love, co
*operation, the prayer of faith, and an im
portunity which never wearies, there a
blessing may be expected upon the minis
trations of the Word.
" TIIE CHURCH."
Our Episcopal brethren habitually, in
the United States, speak of themselves as
"the Church," and, commonly, of other .
Christians as " the denominations." The
Christian Intelligencer quotes a few sen
tences from the Church Journal in which
these terms are used, and then remarks :
For the information of the uninstructed
reader, we may mention that Church!
here means the Protestant Episcopal com
munion, which, so far as we know, is the
only body of Christians in this country
which has members who are ashamed of
their real and lawful name. The title as
sumed in the Prayer Book, used in their
acts of incorporation, and alone recognized
by the law of the land, is one which they
deliberately, and perseveringly, and some
times very amusingly ignore. They are
unwilling to confess themselves to be just
what they are, a small but respectable body
of Christians, styled by their founders and
known by all others as the Protestatit
Episcopal Church' The assumption to be
something else is a mere affectation, which,
like all other cases of affectation, does not
alter facts, but only makes those who use it
ri di culous."

For tho Presbyterian Banner
Christian Commission.
It is a noble work to give a cup' of cold
water to a wounded soldier, on the battle
field or in the hospital—to supply him with
all those little home comforts which are
longed for with such an earnest desire; but
it is.an infinitely nobler work to give him
the bread and water of eternal, life—to
bring to bear upon him those Christian in
fluences which will shield him from the pe
culiar temptations of camp life, and keep
him pure against the day of his return to
civil life.
To do this work, is the object of
the Christian Commission; whilst at the
same time it gives help that saves life in
the day of extremity, and relieves physi
cal pain and suffering on the baffle-field, or
in the Hospital. To accomplish,this, three
agencies are requisite : Men, Money, and
Stores.
Christian ministers and laymen, enlisted
as unpaid volunteers, and sent as delegates
to battle-fields, hospitals and camps, form
the first great distinctive feature and prin
cipal reliance of the Christian Commis
sion. These faithful men supply as well as
possible, imperfectly at best, the place of
father, mother, wife, brother, sister, and
friend, minister and church, to cheer and
sustain the soldiers in their hardships,
toils, and perils, temptations and' priva
tions. These deleg a tes must be well sup
plied with stores. Without stores to use at
the right moment, they could do little to
aid the surgeon in saving life or relieving
anguish.
But combining the two—delegates and
stores—sending trustworthy, kind Chris
tian men to distribute stores, under direc
lion of the surgeon, and to aid them with
warm hearts and willing hands filled with
the needful stores; this is the plan for
saving life — and relieving misery. The dis
tribution'of stores opens the hearts of those
who receive them to the glad reception of
the Gospel from Ate lips of those who dis
pense them.
This plan also gives assurance to the
generous donors, that the stores they con
tribute will safely reach the men for whom
they are designed. The delegates are the
chosen representatives of the people them
selves who give them—men who go with
out pay, to labor and suffer, if need be ;
inspired by the same noble desire as that of
the donors themselves, to relieve and save
our suffering heroes.
Money is greatly needed for the purchase
of publications and such needful stores as
are not donated, to - pay freight, and the ac
tual expenses of delegates.
All returned delegates, ministers of all
denominations, and friends in general of
the Commission,
are authorized and earnest
ly requested to form army committees of
three,
five or more, in every locality where
needed, and report their names to the dis
trict office nearest to the committee.
AU committees are requested to enlist
and recommend one, two or more of the
very best men in their community to go as
delegates for the regular term of six weeks
or more in the army work. The ladies
everywhere are invited to form Soldier?
Aid Societies, to cooperate with the
Christian Commission, and in every suit.
able way aid in the supply of men, money,
and stores, for the prosecution of. the Work
on a greatly enlarged scale.
All returned delegates, ministers, friends
and committees are urged to secure and for
ward stores and money regularly to the
nearest district office.
Acknowledging that success in this labor
can only come from Almighty God, the
Commission requests the churches of all
denominations to hold prayer•meetings at
convenient times, to implore the Divine
blessing on the soldiers and the efforts of
the delegates for their conversion.
All contributions of money be sent to

the public will stand by the Government in their

The Emperor Napoleon had received and con

The Times has an editorial holding up in mov

plain duty of England to seize and use all the
opportunities of her position, and as arbitrator,
make and keep peace while she can.
The Army and Navy Gazette considers the

Two - innocent and lovely pets,
The parents fond delight,
Are borne from scenes of earth away
To dwell with God in light.
We miss our little infant sweet;
We miss our darling son,
Who at our feet had learned to kneel
And pray, " Thy,will be done."
Yet who would bring them back again,
Earth's cares and ills to share?
Nay, rather let them rest above,
Where all is bright and fair.
DlED—lnstantly, October let, 1863, from be
ing shot when on picket duty, near Chattanooga,
Tenn., Mr. HUGH SHAW, of Co. C, 85th Reg't
Indiana. V. 1., in the 33d year of his age.
A child of the covenant, a, professing Chris
tian, he adorned his profession. Such was his
amiability and Christian goodness, that he was
greatly esteemed and beloved by all who knew
him. From a pure purpose of heart he enlisted
in his country's cause. "If it were not for my
family, I could die for my country," he said.
His Christian fidelity in the army is testified to
by all his companions, as well as manifeSted. in
his cOrrespondence. We know that he has fought
a good fight, has finished his course, has kept
the faith, and that henceforth there is laid. up
for him a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give him in that
day. J. A. C.
DIED—In Sharpsburg, Maryland, August 22d,
in the 21st year of his age, JOHN D., son of
John and Jennet Ken, of Woodsfield Ohio.
Called in the flower of his young manhood to
give his - life for his country, this beloved son
cheerfully obeyed the summons. Leaving the
home of his youth, his father and mother, sisters
and brother, he went forth with a smile upon his
countenance, (as he always did,) to endure the
trials and dangers of camp life. These trials,
however, were but short. One year from the
day lie left home, his lifeless body was returned
to his sorrowing family, having fallen a victim
to that terrible scourge, camp diarrhea. But we
sorrow not as those who have no hope ; for he
was a child of many prayers, himself a man of
prayer, and we believe a child of God. Faith
ful in every duty, punctual in his attendance at
the house of• God, and rarely, if ever, absent
from the social prayer-meeting, for he loved to
be there. The united testimony of his associates
in arms has been such as to warrant the belief
that the guidance of his ways had been commit
ted to a higher power than man's, and that he
was daily strengthened and supported by some
thing that can only be found at the feet , of Jesu . s.
Duke et decorum est pro patria mori.
