res4terian Namur. SBURGH, NOVEMBER 11, 1863 The War.. . ARIIIT OF THE POTOMAC is again .otion. On Saturday, 7th inst., Gen. ;wick's corps was advanced on Rappa- Lock Station, which the enemy had still on both sides of the river. The place taken, after a brisk contest. At the time Gen. French attacked the po ut Kelley's lard, six miles further the river, and carried it. Our army about 400 in killed and wounded, and upwards of 1700 prisoners, at the two s. Both these corps of Gen. Meade's crossed the river the neat morning. e Bth and 9th the main body of the crossed the river, and advanced to :pper. Gen. Lee retired without giv ,at tie, and is reported on the south side Rapidan. This places the two er as they were months ago. Is movement would indicate another to reach Richmond. But, unless ;n. Lee's army is greatly weakened, and iless he has sent his troops to places sere they cannot be speedily recalled, the fort must be a failure. Gen. Meade has not men enough to ao- Impli:h the task. The movement, how ler, is likely to be of vast benefit in that will compel Gen. Lee to recall the troops a has sent South, and thus relieve our ar ies in that direction, and especially Gen. .urnside.

A non-present superior ELS al ways interfered with their movements, reventing the possibility of prearrange ,. ent and unity of plan. They have been , harged with the protection of Washing on; and on the 1 - east symptom of a flank :eve - merit by the enemy, they have been dered, instead of getting into the enemy's ar, to get between him and Washington. Once a campaign on truly military prin •iples has not been in their power. If there d been a Washington army, adequate to epel all fears, then the Army of the Po mac, would have caused a very different tory to be written. Richmond would ve been its prize in June, 1862, and its nrse might have thence been Southward, m conquest to conquest. The want of 0,000 additional men, to guard Wash on and quell all apprehensions there, been the cause of great delays, blood-. ed and grief. GENT.

Foreign Intervention. There is another Frenoh 'pamphlet be fore the public, which is very different from the one of which .we spoke a few weeks ago. It is now said that the one which in timated the adoption, by Louis Napoleon, .f the cause of the Confederates was got up at the expense of a man in their inter est, to sell their loan. The last pamphlet is by M. de Belleyme, and is said to cx- press the views of the Government._ It advocates the tender of the imperial crown of Mexico to Maximilian; and then says : " We demand, therefore, that prance, now free even by the liberty she has left to the Mexicans, should abandon the country the moment the Archduke shall have taken his seat." If the French Court shall adopt this purpose, and declare it irrevocable, it . most likely that Maximilian will hardly hink it worth while to transfer his person to Mexico. Things in France, at last dates, as well as in England, indicate that there will be no intervention. The Government, it is said, has put an interdict upon six iron-clad ems, which were being built, on the t arronne, for the rebels. A Place for a Physician.

Why, she has elected Demo= ate to office; and all the other States, Northern d Middle, have voted. the Union ticket. This so; but, New-Jersey is still in the Union, and loyal as any State. In the faithful discharge all duties, she is equal to her sisters. Demo rats love office, but they love their country lso; and New-jersey Democrats will be found mong the most persistent foes of disunion. For the rreabyterion Banner The Presbytery of Carlisle The Presbytery of Carlisle met in the Presbyterian church, in Mercersburg, Pa., on the Gth of October, 1863, at 7 o'clock P. N., and was opened with a sermon by the Rev. W. C. Cattell, on the text, Matt. xv : 28. A reference from the church of Dickin son to Presbytery was read, which was re plied to as follows, viz.: " In reply to the reference from the Ses sion of the church of Dickinson, Presbytery would say, that the Session must judge whether the absence from church ordinan ces fur one year, on the part of the persons referred to, has been culpable or, not, and consequently whether they can be dismissed as in good and regular standing or not. Further, that they may be dismissed with out naming the particular church to which they shall attach themselves ; in which case .t is understood, and ought to be expressed in the certificate, that they are responsible to the church dismissing them, until they have connected with some other church." The place of the next stated meeting of. Presbytery is. Shippensburg, and the time the second Tuesday of April, at 7 o'clock P. M. Mr. J. W. Wikhtman was received un der the care of Presbytery from the Pres bytery of Ohio. The Rev. G. M. Chalfant was dismissed to the Presbytery of St. Claireville. Mr. J. W. Wightman accepted calls from the churches of Green Castle and Waynes libro for hie pastoral services. Presbytery proceeded to the examination of Mr. Wightman with a view to ordination, and heard his trial sermon on the text assigned him. All his trials were sustained. Pres bytery then resolved to hold an adjourned meeting in Green Castle, on the 12th of November, at 1 o'clock P. M., to ordain and install Wightman. The Rev. S. J. Niceolls was appointed to preach the sermon. Rev. Jas. Harper, D.D., was appointed to preside and to propose the constitutional questions; the Rev. James F.

Nic coils was appointed his alternate. Rev. Thomas Creigh, D.D., was appoint ed to preach on the second day, and Rev. H. G. Finney was appointed his alternate. The Committee on Domestic Missions re ported, recommending two missionaries to be commissioned to labor in the coal re- Oons, one at Frostburg and its surround ings, and the other at Piedmont, Barton and Lanaconing. The Committee on Missions was author ized to recommend to the Board of Mis sions these two charges for a sum not ex ceeding three hundred dollars for each. Mr. John C. Willhelm, having been dis missed to the care of the Presbytery of Susquehanna, returned his certificate of dismission, and was again enrolled among the licentiates of this Presbytery. It was Resolved, That the the thanks of Pres tery be tendered to the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, for their courtesy in re turning to their homes the members of Presbytery, free of charge. Resolved, That when Presbytery adjourn it adjourn to meet in Washington City, at the call of the Moderator, during the ses sions of Synod. Rev. William Prideaux requested Pres:- bytery to dissolve the pastoral relations ex isting between himself and - the church of Shellsburg ; whereupon Presbytery resolved that the church of Shellebnrg be cited to appear by its commissioners, at the adjourn. ed meeting in Washington City, to _show cause why the request should not be graated. Presbytery having been informed lhat the Board of Foreign Missions has ap pointed Mr. John Wherry, a licentiate un deruur 'care, as a missionary to China, and heartily approving of this appointment, assign him Matthew xxviii : 19, as a text for his trial sermon for ordination. Presbytery also resolved that, if the way be clear, his ordination take place at the next stated meeting in Shippensburg, and that Rev. Dr. Creigh be , appointed to preach the sermon, that Rev. N. G. White preside, propose the constitutional questions, and make the ordaining prayer; and that Rev. I. N. Hays deliver the charge to the newly ordained evangelist. Resolved, That it be enjoined on the ministers and Sessions of the churches un der the care of Presbytery, to bring the following subjects before the churches un der their care, and see that collections be taken up in aid of the following six causes, viz.: Church Extension, Domestic Mis sions, Disabled Ministers, Foreign Missions, Contingent Funds of Presbytery, and Board of Education. Presbytery having learned with heartfelt sorrow and even alarm, that Sabbath dese oration, profanity, and drunkenness are on the rapid increase, in the several com munities in which many of our churches are located, groWing out of the unsettled state of the country; _ therefore,. Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to prepare a pastoral letter to our churches, warning them of the evils preva lent, and earnestly exhorting them not only to carefully abstain from them, but to pro. test against them and : oppose them in every way within their power. The churches of Williamsport •and . 'Big Spring were permitted to supply their pul pits during the next month. A communication from the Secretary of the Board of Education was referred to the Rev. R. MeCaohren, with instructions to report at the next meeting of Presbytery.

PRESBYTERIAN BANNEREDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1863. The pastoral relation existing between the Rev. William Prideaux and the Shells burg church, was dissolved, and the Rev. R. F. Sample was appointed to preach in said church and declare the pulpit vacant. The Mechanicsburg church had leave to supply their pulpit for the next six months. The Committee appointed to prepare a pastoral letter, to the churches reported. Their report was accepted, and adopted, and reads as follows, viz.: PASTORAL LETTER. The Presbytery of Carlisle, ministers and elders in session, at Washington City, to all the churches under our care greeting We recognize it as one of -the high and responsible offices of the Church, as God's living witness, at all proper times and ways, to lift her voice of warning against, and put forth her powers to resist, every effort on the part of wicked men, either to _ introduce false doctrine or corrupt prac tices into our midst. When the enemy comes in like a flood, it is for her, in the name of her ascended Redeemer, to lift up a standard against him. In 'the providence of God, we feel called upon to lift our voice of warning and expostulation. When we met, as a court of Christ, a little while ago, to talk and pray over the interest of our beloved Zion, the evidence reached was painful and overwhelming, that the monstrous crimes, Profanity, Drunkenness, and Sabbath desecration, was making insidious but sure progress in the several communities in which many of our churches are located; not only sadden ing the hearts of God's people, but threat ening to insnare and destroy not a few of our precious youth. It is believed that the alarming progress which these evils are making, has its origin, or at least its apology, in the proximity of our military camps, which, we fe'ar, in most cases, exert a most baneful influence upon the morals of the surrounding community. Be-this as it may,.theY are upon us, and of their deadly influence, none can doubt. Shall we speak of Profanity ? It is a di rect attack upon God—an insult flung in his very face; and of all imaginable crimes, there is the least possible excuse for it. There is no pretended good in it, or pleas ure derived from it; and 'yet, withall, it is a direct violation of an express command, " Thou shalt not-take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." And although the breakers of this commandment may escape punishment from men, yet the Lord will not suffer them to escape his righteous judgment. Shall we speak of Drunkenness ? violates almost every law both of God and lean. It degrades the intellect, pollutes the soul, and debauches the whole man. It clothes its victim in rags, and sends him to a premature and dishonored grave and a hopeless eternity. 'What hearts has it not crushed . ; what . hopes has it not blasted ; what evils has it not perpetrated.? Should an evil like it come suddenly into our' world, men would flee from it as a deadly plague, and the nation would at once demand that it should be legislated out of existence. And what of Profaning the Sabbath-day? It is treason against both the Church and the State. What element of civil liberty is not interwoven with its sanctity ? What ordinance of our holy religion is not almost inseparably connected with its proper ob servance ? Take away our American Sab bath, and our Nation's destiny is sealed. One step more, and with infidel France we shall have the Word of God dragged through the streets, and the doctrine pro claimed : " There is no God but reason, and death is an eternal sleep." But' no argument is needed. The enormity- and. baneful effects of these evils, are known and confessed by. all. Nor are you to sup pose that their influence is felt only outside of the Church. Our hearts have been made very sad, with the evidence that there are a few in our churches who are not alto gether free from these scandalous vices, greatly to the dishonor of oar holy relig ion.- To such, we would utter a word of affectionate but faithful admonition. Have you forgotten your solemn covenant vows ? Are you dead to all the high appeals which religion addresses to your better nature, and on' behalf of your immortal souls.? And, besides, what will the enemy say ? How will hell exult in such a defection in the Church of God ? But, were these evils as yet entirely out side of the Church, have we no reason for anxiety and alarm ? What will become of the youth of our land, and the children of our vows? If our Sabbaths are profaned, and the land becomes full of cursing and blasphemy, and the midnight air polluted with the hideous cry of the Inebriate, can we hope that they will escape the deadly influence ? Already we hear of confirmed drunkards, at the ages of twelve and four teen years ! • . If the Church has not forgotten her high mission as'a light in the world, and a wit ness-bearer for God, can she dare she be silent, at such a time as this? -Can she sit still until these vices become popularised and have obtained a firm foothold amongst us,and the spirit of: wickedness vaunting; ly defy her Tower to cast out these deadly monsters? Both experience and the Word of God admonish us to act ' quickly, if we would act successfully. The public - conscience is' becoming seared; evil habits are being formed, and immortal souls , are perishing. But you ask, What can be done to arrest the progress of these evils ? We answer; first, where they are under the control of those in official position, we can, as a Church, and as individuals, imitate the ex ample of Nehemiah, and. " rebuke the no bles and the rulers, and say unto them, It is not good that ye do." Ought ye not to walk in -the fear of our God, because of the heathen, our enemies Is this 'nation worth all this blood and treasure; if our precious youth are to be hopelessly cor rupted, and our , land to' become through this baptism of brood, a land of infidels and the institutions of our holy religion be utterly defamed ? Again, we can remonstrate with those on the" highway to ruin, and by our ap peals, awake the public conscience, to a sense of our danger, and the necessity of putting forth the most vigorous efforts 6 arrest the tide of' evil. We can alio appeal to the laws of the land for, the suppression of these vices (defective as they are, and lend them the moral sanction they need, and demand of .our rulers, that they be faithfully executed; and if all this fail, we can bear, our troubles to Him who has the hearts of all men in his hands, and who can make the wrath of man to praise him, and the remainder of that wrath restrain. And if ten men would have saved Sodom, may we not hope (if we stand firm "in our lot,) to do something to save our land from these impending evils. And - who know eth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this ? ' Resolved, That a copy of this letter be sent to The - Presbyterian, and to the' Pres byterian Banner, for publication, and that it be'rea`d before the ehUrOhes. , ' . .

Quay, and was born in Allegheny, Pa. At the breaking out of the . rebellion he was residing with his brother-in-law, I. C. Prentiss, in Ravenna, 0. The, first call of the President found hiin a ready and an eager velunieer. His name was one of the first subscribed for a com pany of soldiera, the famous p g . G, , of the glo rious Seventh' Ohio. Upon the organization of this Company he was chosen Seoond Lieutenant. In this position he remained until after the death of Lieut..W. H. Robinson, upon the Bth ef Coto ber,.lB6l, when he was commissioned as First Lieutenant, of Co. G. In the succeeding Jan uary, he was detailed from his Company to the staff of Gen. Tyler, and upon the 21st•of May, 1862, was appointed A. A. General, with the rank. of Captain, and assigned to the staff of Brigs Gen. E. B. Tyler.- =This position he retained un til the 10th of October, 1862, when he resigned and came home. He was then out of health, but hoped to be restored. Upon the rl7th of February, 1868, he:was attacked, with lung fever, and from - this sick bed he never arose, but- con tinued daily wasting away until vitality was ex hausted, his sickness having rapidly culminated in consumption. • " ' The military career of Calk. Quay developed . in him ability and genius. He was' a ' universal favorite with his 'men, beloved for' his kindness,' and honored' for - his braiery. He shrank from no duty and avoided no hardithips; Was quick to platti and vigorous "to execute, and for his years and military experience, took high rank among: the- officers of the army With which he was connected. Hie bravery was conspicuous at Cross Lanes, at Cotton Hill, at_ Hines Gap, at Winch e ster, at Port. Republic, at. Antietam, and at Sharpsburg. At;Winchester he was wounded in ' the head, and narrowly escaped-death. . Before leaving the army, he was prostrated with ill health, and came home torecruit ; but the exigencies of tkeservice called hint back,before a favorable reliction„! commenced. At lait, and reluctantly, he knew that if hexould.-liie; he must vacate his a;rduous post ; ibut the deoisioi was made too late ; the hand of the destroyer was upon him, and he was to follow other brave ones who have fallen for their country.

She was the second daughter-of Ephraim and Mary K. Herriott, • who were among the early settlers of Western Pennsylvania, and located in Fayette Township, where deceased was born February 17th, 1796. For the last thirty-six years she was an esteemed and consistent mem . ber of the Presbyterian church of Bethany, of ivhich her husband was, for ten years previous to his decease, an esteemed and efficient Ruling Elder. For the last five or six years, on account of bodily affliotion, she was unable to attend the services of the sanctuary. She was a sufferer from paralysis, which she endured -with Chris tian submission. She was kind and affectionate, as a sister, wife, mother, and friend.

Possessed of more than ordinary intelligence, And gifted with those qualities of mind and heart which emi nently fitted him for great usefulness in the Church and.in the world, his removal from our' midst, cut down as he was in the prime of life, has made a sad breach in the domestic and social circle; and the whole community join with his bereaved family and friends in lamenting his death. But our sorrowing hearts are: comforted with the cheering hope that for "him to die was gain."

DIED—On. the oth day of June, 1863, in Youngstown, Pa., of acute rheumatism SAMUEL H. CA.LDWELL, M.D. Peace. has her triumphs no less than war, and her heroes, though unnoted and unknown out side the narrow circle in which they struggled and died, will doubtless, in, the great award, shine with a pure glory beside which the lurid glare and pomp, of many a warrior whose life is with "confused noise and garments rolled in blood," will grow pale. In no profession or pur suit among men can we so confidently look for such examples of lofty heroism, unstimulated by hope of gain or praise, as in the ancient and honor able profession to which the deceased belonged. To toil in the midst of scenes revolting to heart and sense, to peril life in the pestilential abodes of poverty and crime, to brave death in every horrible form on the battle field, with no share in the glory of the conflict, or in the prizes won by victory, to endure all the suffering of expo sure to the inclemencies of every season, to wear out life and health in the endeavor Co bring health and life to others; and all this, often without even the hope of grateful appreciation is the ac cepted lot of the great majority of ; medical men. It maybe truthfully affirmed, that no other class of men exhibits such a spotless honor- in the confidences necessarily reposed in it, each delicacy and tenderness to the weak and the erring; such alarge and genial benevolence, and so patient and sublime a courage, as the class of accomplished men to whom society entrusts, pri marily, health and physical life, but not remote ly, also its moral and spiritual existence. To this profession it is very high praise to say that Dr. Caldwell - Was an ornament. His col legiate and medical studies were pursued in Balti more, in which city he was born in 1798. In the Maryland Medical Academy he took his degree of M. D. in 1828, and was made Fellow of the Maryland Society of Medidine and Surgery in the latter part of the same year. Having prac ticed his profession for a brief period in the city of Baltimore, he removed to Youngstown, Pa., in the Spring of 1829, in which place he, remained in the diligent`exercise of Ids profession till the day of his death. ' His ability and acquirements were abundantly certified to f -by the most distinguished medical men of Baltimore, in letters of recommendation addressed to the community in which he had de termined to.fix his future abode, and were abun- • dandy confirmed .by. the wide circle of his patrons, and by the concurrent suffrage of his professional brethren, during along and intimate association. His extensive and laborious prac tice, while it in some measure hindered him from the .profound study of more modern medical science, gave him abundant opportunity for the surer culture derived from observation and expe rience. Careful 'in forming his opinions, hon estly seeking information from all quarters, scrupulously honorable in his intercouse with his fellow practitioners, zealous for the advance ment' and honor" of his profession, and "full of tenderness and delicacy in all , his relations, he was privileged to go through the long practice of thirty-four 'years undisturbed by the personal rivalries and jealousies which are so often a re proach and scandal to the profession, and with Jim gratifying consciousness that he was not sim ply obtaining patrons, but securing personal friends, whose devoted attachment was the just reward of the conscientiousness with which he. discharged the weighty responsibilities of his office. Besides the respectable attainments which he had made in medical, science he was an unu sually finished and accurate classical scholar. Re never lost his early acquired love , for the master-pieces of ancient, literature, and found his most keenly enjoyed recreation in the review and extension of his acquaintande with the works of the , poets, historians, and philosophers whose genius has given immortality to Greece Wand His acquaintance with the literature of his own language was, in variety and depth, far be yond that of most meu engaged in the harassing' cares of professional life. It was esteemed a privilege by many of his contemporaries, them selves accomplished men, to engage him in con versation upon topics which would draw _out the stores of knowledge which he had, amassed in the literature of his 'native tongue. The genial ity of his disposition, and the total absence of vanity andostentation, niade these hours of, social intercourse peculiarly delightful to his ,friends, and no one ever enjoyed more keenly than him ,self, these literary amenities ,of; a..prosaic and laborious life . Rio moral nharacter Arkeproaeb:able. To the most inflexible integrity, he added the ten . _ derest charity, and whilst rigorous to himself, was tolerant to others. His domestic relations were marked by the utmost purity, simplicity, and kindness. He profoundly reverenced the re ligion of Christ, though not himself a professor, and always cultivated the society of consistent and sincere Christians. Over all his accom plishments he threw the charm of a most perfect courtesy, and dignified the humblest acts of life by the grace of that ancient school of manners in which he was bred, and which rested on the highest sense o l t honor, and sought to maintain the rights and respect the feelings of the hum blest human being. It is with no common feel ing of respect and love that the writer inscribes this tribute to the memory of one who deserves the brief but expressive and pathetic memorial of Quintilius, by Horace: " Halal ale bonis flebilis occidit." 74 / FI .
