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.
'44 The commanders of the Army - of the
,• ' °town have always labored under a pe:
•uliar difficulty. 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. Buntasanx is supposed to be safe,
'n'' ^ • ough in danger. There is a report that
o of his most advanced positions have
en assailed and taken, and about a half
ill& two regiments made prisoners.
GEN. GRANT is operating a little at

AT CELARLESTON, the last week has been

ombardment which commenced October

to the city. The great point of attack

.adfa it a ruin ; not so a ruin, however, but
hat it could be held and turned to an earth
ork, and thus become exceedingly for

assessed before it is possible for men and
hips to labor at removing the obstructions.
,"e hope soon to hear, not only that it is
tterly battered down, but that the debris
in our possession. it would be a new

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.
The physician at Emlenton, Pa., is, we learn,
"sposed to sell his residence and, give up his
lactice. The prospect is inviting to a new .
.an of good qualifications. Address Postmaster,
mlenton, Venango County, Pa.
New-Jersey Stands Alone.
Alone 1 How ? 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.

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

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. , '

DlED—October 20th, 1863, of disease con
tracted by exposure in_ the army, Capt. E. S.
QUAY, aged 23'years.
Capt. Elliot Swift Quay was the youngest son
of Rev. A. B. 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. It is
probable that the incipient foundation of his dis
ease was laid in the Western Virginia campaign,
where the 7th Ohio suffered privations and hard
ships which have been unequalled bY'any of the

Fayette Tp., in the 68th year of her age.
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. The writer
knew her intimately from her youth; for more
than thirty years washer pastor, and esteemed her
very highly as a Christian and friend.
She- is gone ; and friends and, bereaved rela

and mournful event. Kind and courteous, and
benevolent in his disposition, he was respected
and beloved by all that knew him. 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." His religious experience, and conversa
tion upon. his dying bed, afford the joyful assur
ance that his ransomed spirit has gone to dwell
in that bright world where the inhabitants never
say, "I ant sick." • -
. 4 No chilling winds, nor poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore ;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more."
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."
