We have no battles to record, this week. But still, the war is a matter of deep inter est to the community. When will it ter minate? When will our sons, husbands, and brothers be permitted to return to happy homes? When will the sword cease to destroy ? We hope that the time draws near. We hope, because .that fighting cannot last always, and because that es haution is felt by the foe, and because our own people still display vigor. Peace must be the result of a thorough victory, and of true magnanimity. The rei.4ilisting of tens of thousands of our veterans is a hopeful sign. We are to have a continuance of their valuable ear vices; and their devotion to their country induces many new men to enlist. Our hope of a speedy peace is connected with our show of strength. If we shall bring into the field, with the returning of Spring, a force which will be manifestly overwhelm ing, the enemy will speedily succumb. None but madmen will rush on where they see certain destruction. And the rebels are not al mad. Destroy hope and you disperse their armies. They have now learned that we can fight them, man to mac ; and if they shall see three soldiers marshalled against each one of theirs, they will fly, or surrender. And we can have the three to one most readily. Marshal men enough, and there will be no fighting. TnE EFFORT now making, under Gene. Hal cock and Burnside, each to raise fifty thousand men for a special service, is a thiug, of good promise. And why not en large the effort ? We know there are ob ecti one. But there are also advantages. And Fremont, M.Tlellan and Sigel have, each of them, large numbers of friends nd admirers.

Correspondence of the Presbyterian Banner, Fnneral of General Buford. A CONTRAST, WASHINGTON, D. C., Deo. 21, 1863. One of the grandest pageants we have yet loused in this city took place on last abbath ',Deo. 20th), in the Presbyterian urch, corner of H. Street, and New-York venue. It was the funeral of General uford. The scene was truly imposing, in hatever light we view it—the audience— he edifice—the services—the deceased, or he day. Gen. Buford died of typhoid fever at he residence of Gen. Stoneman, on Thurs. ay, the 17th of December, andi his body 'as kept till the 20th, that his wife, who ives in Rook Island, Illinois, might be (resent at the interment. Unfortunately he cars on which she was travelling took ire. She managing to escape death, and icing much exposed, was too feeble when he did arrive, to be present at this sorrow ul scene. As a large concourse of people ere expected at the church during the arly part of the afternoon, your correspon ; eta being acquainted with Dr. Gurley, the .actor, repaired to his study in the rear of he leotnre•room of the basement of the ea- ed edifice, and was by him invited to a ,at in the pulpit. Being there, he had a ne opportunity of viewing the whole scene, 'rid of hearing every word spoken. The coffin was a costly one, and richly rnamented. •A beatiful wreath of ever- greens and the stars-and-stripes lay on it n the front seats sat Generals Halleck, Ca. , :ey, Sickles,' Pierpont, 'Warren, Stoneman ! eintselman, Martindale, and Secretary :tauten. Behind these, rs. Lincoln, Poet ongfellow, and hosts of other military, po litical, and literary dignitaries—all solemn and apparently humble in the presence of Death, whose scythe is soon to lay their .cads low as ours! Some of these high officials had tears to shed, and they shed them. It was affecting to see- the care worn, oneillimbed Sickles weeping at the bier of his fellow-Gerieral. Was this the place, a sketch of the personel of these dis tinguished men might be given ? Bat we have now to do with the dead, not the liv ing; of these hereafter. As has been hint ed, the capaoious and beautiful edifice was filled .to overflowing, long before the hour for the service to commence had arrived. De entrances on each side were blocked, and the street packed. It was truly a ,lendid civic demonstration in honor of a much-beloved officer, and a great and good DNB At two o'clock the services began with 'a solemn chant by the choir. Dr. Gurley next Ld several select portions of Scripture, and then came the address. It was brief, chaste, pointed and impressive, and listened to throughout with the strictest attention. Maj.-Gen. Buford descended from an ex cellent and well-known family in Kentucky. He graduated at West Point in 1848— standing high in his class. He entered into the actual service of his country immediate ly on the breaking out of the rebellion, and soon rose to meritorious distinction in the ekes of' the nation. He was said to be mod est, yet brave; retiring, yet efficient; quiet, yet vigilant; unostentatious, yet prompt, and careful of the lives of his men with an almost parental solicitude. His dangers on the battle-field had been many and im minent. Unharmed he passed them all to die of fever in the house of a friend and fellow-officer in the army. The Govern ment honored him to the last. But a few minutes before his departure, his commis sion as a Major. General was placed in his feeble hands—a distinction of little service, it is true, to him, but one as gratifying to the nation as it was complimentary to his family. Taking up the 'freshly-written commission, be viewed it for a moment, then laid it aside, and soon his patriotic heart grew cold an still in death. Thus died Major-G-enffal Buford—a man whom often saw in the month of November, riding in great state in the vicinity of Brandy and Culpepper, Va. The service in the church concluded, the escort in attendance, consisting of -a Regi ment of the Invalid Corps, Battery L, of the 6th Regulars, a squadron of Cavalry, and carriages containing pall-bearers (these were Major-Genemls Schofield, Doubleday, Sickles, Casey, Heintzelman, Warren, Han cock and Augur) took their places in the procession, under command Of Major-Gen eral Stoneman, who arranged all the details of this military display. The procession then moved along Pennsylvania Avenue to Baltimore depot, enroute for West Point, where he is intered. About this time we attended another fu neral service. It was at a certain hospital. Name of the deceased unknown to me— body lying on a board in the Dead House amid a number of others. Mourners—one 'woman, the widow—audience, another wo man, the nurse. Pall-bearers, three negroes. Coffin a rough, board box—hearse, a mis erable, dirty, old ambulance. .Place of in terment, the Soldiers' Home. What a contrast ! Both may have died the death of the righteous. If so, these outward marks of respect or of neglect are.nothing; nor are they now aught to them if they did not so die. The real difference between these men, may not have been so great after all. It is position that gives honor and dis tinction. You have read of the rich man and Lazarus. Reader, let 114 so live that it will be gain for us to die. ZED. For the Presbyterian Banner. Action of the Christian Commission in Rela tion to the Death of Rev. F. it. Power. At a meeting of the Executive Commit tee of the U. S. Christian Commission, held Dec. 29th, 1863, the following minu'e was unanimously adopted in reference to the death of Rev. F. H. Power, of Alle gheny County, Pa., a delegate of the Chris tian Commission. WHEREAS, The Commission has heard with profound regret of the death of the Rev. Frances Herron Power, in Nashville, Tenn., after several months of faithful toil in our service; therefore, Resolved, That we express our sense of the great loss we have sustained in the death of one whose devotion to duty, gen tleness of manner, loveliness of disposition and earnestness of spirit, commanded the affections of his co-laborers, and eminently qualified him for the great work for which e gave his life. Resolved, That in the death of our es teemed fellow-laborer taken away in the midst of his life of usefulness, we recognize the voice of the-great Head of the Church Baying to each of us, " Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might, fir the night cometh when no man can work." Resolved, That to the bereaved family we tender our sincere sympathy and con dolence in this severe affliction. Resolved, That the above resolutions be published in the Preasyterian, of Philadel phia, and in the Presbyterian Banner, of Pittsburgh. For the Preebytetian Banner Do 1, Lim God? How often does the. Christian ask, and how seldom receive, a satisfactory answer from his soul. He remembers his covenant wrongs; the profession of love to God; the promise to serve him, but finds his actions inconsistent. There is a criterion by which he may ascertain the truth. It is not the judgment of the men of the world. That is erroneous. Neither does the heart give him right instructions, for it is deceitful above all things. The words of our Sa viour furnish us with an infallible rule : " If a man love me he will keep my words." "He that bath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me." The Christian inquires what are the commandments, and having ascertained, he asks, " Lord what wilt thou_ have me do ?" God's people are free-will offerings in the day of his power. The petition is not, I pray the have me excused; but, Here am I, Lord, send me. He is not willing that anything should hinder his obedienceto God. Not tribulation, nor anguish, nor distress, nor life, nor death, nor anything will separate him from the love of God. He is willing to do, and suffer, and even to die for Jesus. None of' these things will move him, nor will he count his own life dear to .himself, that he may do the will of his maker. He may say, Entreat me not to leave thee, for where thou goest I will go; where thou diest I will die. Every Christian is willing to die,a martyr for Je sus. " Love is stronger than death." Let the professing Christian-make a practical application. He might ask himself, Do my , actions indicate my love to God ? Does that love break down the family altar, and lock the closet so that no prayer ascends to God ? God's people erected their altars, and blessed their families; and David said, " Seven times in the day will I call upon thee." Does my love to God seal up his blessed volume, so that I do not read nor meditate upon his Word ? David could sity, "0 how love I thy law; it is my med itation day and night.' Is it love to . God which keeps me from the sanctuary? Hear the language of the Psalmist, "How amia ble are thy tabernacles, 0 Lord of H os t s ; my soul longeth, yea even fainteth for the courts of my God.' Every Christian loves the church more than all places on earth. Can I see the sanctuary desolate and feel no sorrow? God's people mourn. Do I ? PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.--WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1864. Does my love to Jesus close my ear at the cry of a brother in need ? He that will thus act has not the love of God. Does my love to God create in my heart, hatred to my brother ? " lie that loveth not his brother whom he bath seen, how can be love God whom he bath not seen ?" He that forgiveth not his brother shall not be forgiven of God. Love will manifed itself by actions. Can a man who thus neglects his Christian duties, be willing to die for Jesus Ashamed of Jesus in these less matters, and yet acknowledge him in the greater,, unless our love will stimulate. us.to labor for him, how can we enjoy him in heaven ? Walk with him daily, talk of his love, and show forth his praises so that you may dwell with him in heaven. B. Tahiti and Romanism. It will be recollected 'that, about 1843, under Louis Philippe, the French fleet in vaded and conquered the Island of Tahiti, and forced Queen Portiere to receive Popish missionaries. It seemed as if all then was lost. But not so. Those isiamitrs , had the Bible. They had read it, and understood too much of truth to be led into the abom inations of the " Scarlet Beast.", Mr. Pritchard and the other English mission aries were driven away by the "French, and Protestant. French missionaries -were for bidden to go there. Still Popery could gain over only a few uneducated Tahitians of the viler sort. Pomare, and the better class, firmly refused to yield. They ap pointed native evangelists, partially educa ted, but loving the simple truth, who still led them in the green pastures and by the still waters of God's Word. The Protestants of France ceased not to beg the Government to, send Protestant missionaries. At length the French Gov ernor of Tahiti, seeing that the people would - not become Papists, has seconded the request, and Louis Napoleon has grant ed it. Mr. .A.rbousset is already there, and Mr. Atger is to follow. Mr. Arbonsset who has, for seve'ral years, been a mission ary in Africa, is a pious and prudent man. He was most joyfully received by both peo ple and their Queen. She wrote to him : When I learned that you had come to Tahiti, it caused me great joy. * * I wrote to the Governor to meet you when you arrived, so that you might be my pas• tor, the pastor of my family, my children, and all my people. * * I cannot ex press how happy I am that you are in the midst of us." Mr. A. wrote, that notwithstanding the iinperfect preaching of the native pastors, the Tahitians had remained firm to the vital doctrines of Christianity, thal they were accustomed to take notes of the Ser mons, and possessed an extensive knowledge of the Scripture. This is another illustration of the power of the printed Word. It is an anchor to hold the believer when all the waves of per secution go over him, and every other help is removed. It was so in that long night, in Madagascar ; it was so for twenty years with the Caueassian converts in Russia. It has been so for twenty years in Spain. Surely the Papists are wrong in withhold ing the 'Bible from the common people, and we are right in giving it. It is a part of God's appointed means, and God makes it effectual, PRESBYTERIAL NOTICES. The PRESBYTERY OF WINNEBAGO will meet at Depere, Wisoonsin, on Tuesday, January 26th, at 7 o'clock P. M. 11. M. ROBERTSON, Stated Clerk Cunt Wu. Frightful Accident on the Pennsylvania Cen tral Railroad. The Express train due in this city Sunday, 16th inst., while four miles east of Tyrone, at 7 o'clock •A. NI., of Sunday, met with a most frightful accident, whereby the train, consisting of one baggage, four passenger and two Express oars, were thrown off the bridge crossing the Ju- Mato, known as bridge No. 8, of the middle di vision of the road, severely injuring twenty three passengers, and setting fire and destroying the passenger and Express cars. The accident was occasioned by the breaking of the hind axle of the tender ' when , within a short distance of the bridge, thereby running the balance of the train off the track and over the bridge, a distance of thirty feet. The hind car contained soldiers, several of whouovere very severely injured. One had his back broken, and another both his legs broken, but none killed outright. The injured passengers, such as were unable to travel, were properly provided for by the officers of the Com pany. No blame is attached to the Company. It is one of those accidents which no amount of hu man foresight can prevent. - The Constription Bill. The Senate passed the Conscription bill in its modified and amended form, on the 18th inst. The following is a synopsis of its most important features : It gives the President power to call out. during the present war as many men as pub lio exigencies require. The quotas- of wards, townships or counties shall be in proportion to the number of men liable to military service therein. Credit will be given for previous en listments in the naval or military service. The draft is to be made only to fill deficienaies in volunteering. In towns or counties, drafted men may furnish substitutes from among those not liable to the draft, and shall be exempted from service as long as' his substitute is not lia ble to the draft. - The maximum commutation is fixed at $4OO, and persons furnishing a substi tute, or paying the commutation, shall not be liable to the draft again on that enrollment. The commutation money shall be applied by the War Department to the.procuration of substitutes, to be credited to the Congressional district where collected. Colored troops are to be credited to the State where enlisted, but none of the com mutation money is to be applied to pay them bounties. Section 2; of the old law, is amended so as to exempt none eicept the Vice President, Judges, Members of the Cabinet, State (iov enters, disabled persons, and all in service at the time of the draft, or- who have been in the service two years, and been honorably discharged by .the proper authorities. The distinction of classes is abolished. Quakers having religious soruplei against fighting, are to be assigned to duty in hospitals, and the care of freedmen ; and the commutation from such, is to be-applied to the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers. No foreigner who has voted is exempt. Exemptions procured fraudulently are null, and sul3jects the proeurbr to treatment as a deserter. The fees of Attorneys for making out papers are fixed at five dollars, and the members of Boards Of Enroll ment, and clerks assisting them, are prohibited by severe penalties, from procuring substitutes. Injunction to Restrain Provost Marshals'from Taking Drafted Men, Dissolved. PHILADELPHIA, Jan 16.---This morning, in the Supreme Court, the motion to dissofve the in junction heretofore granted to restrain the Pro vost Marshal from taking drafted men, was grant ed; Justices Strong, Read and Agnew delivering opinions in favor of the dissolution, and Chief Justice Woodward and Justice Thompson op . posed. From ispinwall. New-Yosx, San. 17.—The steamer dries ar rived from Aspinwall to-day, bring $365,000 in treasure. Revolutionary. movements have broken, out in the States of Antigua, Santander, oral Boysea, in New Grenada, undr the auspices of the Conserv ative party. The steamer America, from New-York on the 30th of October, arrived at Panama on January let. She brought news from Valparaiso, that the cathedral in Santiago, Chili, caught fire on the 14th ult., when densely crowded with human beings. The doors were closed by the pressure of the crowd. The interior of the building being ornamented with light drapery and other inflam mable material, was soon in a blaze, and the flames spread rapidly throughout the whole building, and most of the people in it were either burned or crushed to death. Some one thousand nine hundred and fifty dead bodies, mostly of women and children, have been _recovered from the ruins. The South American mail steamer reached Pa nama with $918,000 in treasure for England. She brings a confirmation of the calamity related 'above, stating that the number killed will reach 2.000. The church contained 20,000 lights, from some of which the fire communicated to the drapery of the gigiintie image of the Virgin said the pasteboard devices. In an instant a sheet of flame rushed along from the festoon of lights to the roof, and directly spread to all parts of the building. The people rushed to the principal door, and it was soon complely blocked—most of the men escaping from the side-doors. But a few moments elapsed before the lights simpended so plentifully from 'the roof, poured a rain of liquid fire on the people below, and in less than fifteen minutes over 2,000 persons, mostly fe males, were blackened corpses. Latest Richmond Items. 'FORTRESS MONROE, Jan.l.6.—The flag of truce steamer New-York arrived film City Point this morning. Present indications admit of no doubt that if the exchange business remains _in the hands of Gen.-Butler, a satisfactory exchange will shortly be effected. Orange Court House, .Tan. I.2.—Moseby is still barrassing the enemy's rear, but is reported to have been badly whipped near Harper Ferry. There was ice in Richmond three inches in thickness. Charlestop, Tan. 14.--The enemy has, kept up a lively shelling all, day. Since Tuesday at eight o'clock, four hundred and seventy-one shells have been thrown into the city, causing some damage, but no casualties are reported. The en emy has unmasked two or three more Parrott guns on Fort Gregg. The shelling is still heavy this evening, but there is no movement of the fleet. The bombardment of the city has been contin uous since our last report. A large number of transports, filled with troops, ,have been observed going South. An increased fleet is reported at Hilton Head. The Cotton Factories - of the World France has 2,600 cotton factories, employing 274,830 hands, running 5,500,000 spindles and using 140,000,000 pounds of cotton. The Uni ted States has only 90 factories, employing only 101,000 linds, but they run 6,000,000 spindles and use 426,719,000 pounds of cotton. Great Britain employs 150,000 hands in 3,046 factories with 21,000,000 spindles; using 990,000,000 pounds of cotton ; only a little more than twice the amount used in the 90 American factories.. What it Equals. The aggregate steam power of Great Britain is set down as 83,635,214 horse power, or equal to 400,000,000 of men. This is the force ,that is adding to the wealth of modern society in a greater degree than any power which has existed since the foundation of the world. The power of steam makes England, with a population of only 20,000,000, produce wealth representing a population twenty times that amount.. Emigration from Ireland. The news by the laft steamer states that there are not emigrant ships enough to bring over the emigrants who are waiting fora passage to this country. The boarding-houses in Liverpool are said to be full of people ready to embark for the United States. A British Iron-Clad.—The iron-olad frigate Minotaur was successfully launched at Blackwell on the Thames on the 12th of December. She is nearly seven thousand tans burthen, and about four hundred feet long; is protected throughout by armor-plates five and a half inches thick, and is designed to carry fifty guns of the largest cal ibre.
