The War. •
Things look more threatening than they
did a week ago. Longstreet's forces have
bceu augmented, and he has pressed our
outpost into Knoxville, killing and wound
ing many; and capturing a large amount of
provisions and transportation. He is also
impeding our communications by way of
Cumberland Gap, and threatening an in
vnsion of Eastern Kentucky. This we.re
gard as being more mortifying, than really
dangerous. It was said, last Fall, that
Longstreet's retreat was cut .bff, and he
must surely be "bagged:" But it did not
come to pass.
Further South and West also, the rebels
are showing a renewed vigor. There is
evidently an effort, while many of our vet.
erans are home recruiting and before many
new levies reach the post of danger, to mass
large forces, and wage an early and vigor
ous campaign. It may result in benefits
to us. .The exposure in inclement Weather
must waste their troops; and their vigorous
onslaught will arouse the North. Only let
our people beoome sufficiently stimulated,
and the war will soon end. •
We are pleased to see that the President
has issued a call for 600,000 men.. There
is to be a draft in March, and the men are
called out for three years, :or the war.
Whether this is intended to raise the. last
call of 300;000, who are not yet all ob
tained, to 500,000; or whether it is a call
for the 500,000 in addition to the former,
is not clear. If the latter is the meaning,
it looks like real earnestness.; and we the
more rejoice in it. Life and money will
b.? saved by calling out a force which shall
be irresistable.
MOBILE, as is said, is soon to be assailed
by our forces.
CIIARLESTON has, lately, been less an

LONDON, January 3, 1864.
A CONSPIRACY apparently against the
life of the French Emperor, has been balk
ed of its vile purpose,. by the vigilance of
the French police. It seems to have been
hatched in London among the Italian refu
gees. Italy has long been accustomed, un
der oppression, to use the stiletto; but it
is a base and unblessed means of attaining
political deliverance. The impatience of
the Italians is great at the continued occu
pation of Rome (and the consequent coun
tenance of Papal rule) by the French
troops, and some are found so unprincipled
and impatient as to remove the great bar
rier between the kingdom and its capital,
by assassination. With the four men ar
rested in Paris, were found a great quanti
ty of gunpowder, four poinards, four re
volvers, four air-guns of a new and ingeni
ous construction, phosphorus, percuseion
caps, fuses several metres in length, and
hand grenades made on the Orsini pattern.
The former attempt on the life of Napo
leon, by Orsini, is thus vividly recalled, as
well as its failure, and the execution of
that unhappy man whose jet black hair
turned white i n a night, in the prospect of
the scaffold. He was supposed to have
been formerly well acquainted in Italy with
the young adventurer, Louis Napoleon ' and
that the latter had such relations with
as a
,joint-member of a standing body of
political conspirators against the former
Papal regime that has life might have been
spared. But " dead men-tell no tales;' he
was undoubtedly a murderer in intent, and
so he perished.miserably.
GARIBALDI has issued a proclamation
intended to rouse the Italians to arms
against Austria ) in order to rescue Venetia
from her grasp. He denounces the " in
trigues of diplomacy," and mere Parlia
mentary government. " What remains for
the Italians to do ? Let them unite ! but
no longer in support of men whose antece
dents of tortuous policy promise nought
save hatred, discord, renewal of party
violence, and fatal disenchantment. Let
them unite 1 but in the name of him in
whose loyalty we confide in a supreme cri-
sis—in Victor Emmanuel. Ile alone nev
er failed in his given word. The country
may confide in him in the approaching
struggle. Let the Pailiament be closed.
Let the lista foiethe conscription open, be
fore the arrival of Spring, for the speedy
formation of columns of volunteers, who
will form the vanguard of the regular ar
my.,
This appeal is a symptom, rather than a
forerunner; that is to say, it indicates im
patience, but it will not lead to Victor
Emmanuel becoming a Dictator. Italy is all
the better of her Parliament; she ig grad
ually but surely arming and preparing for
a conflict that shall be final ; and it is thus
and then—not yet, nor as Garibaldi antici
pates, that " brigandage will cease; the
ramparts of Austria will yield; the people
of Venetia and Illytia will rise in insur
rection ; Italy will regain her own influ
ence, and, mistress of her own interests,
will be in position to seize the Capital."
THE DEATH. of the Rev. Frederick
Mon' od, the veteran Protestant pastor in
Paris, will be widely lamented in the Uni
ted States, as well as in this country. He
was a man of qingular disinterestedness,
great zeal, and purest piety. He " labored
more abundantly" than most of his breth
ren, and he was the leader and life of that
Free Church movement which caused the
Evangelical tlergy of the French Protestant
Church, at great -pecuniary sacrifice, to
separate themselves from the State. He
was well known in London, and had help
given him in his enterprises, by the Tract
Society.
Da. DUFF probably sailed from Calcutta
a few days ago. It is his final departure
from India. ISthey farewell honors will
have. been paid him—including an address
from the Calcutta. Missionary Conference.
The proposal to erect a permament memo
rial of his great services is being actively
carried out. ail. large and influential Com
mittee has been formed, of which the
Bishop of Calcutta is Chairman, and
a Judge of the High Court, Vice-Chair
man. The Committee includes men of all
ranks, " officials and non-officials, merchants
and missionaries, Christians and Moham
medans, Hindus and Parsees—all actuated
by one desire." It has been finally re
solved,." That the Memorial to Dr. Duff be
a. Hall, to be erected near the new build
ings for the University and Presidency
College, ID be devbted to meetings and
lectures on Christian subjects, and to
philanthropic and benevolent . objects
of a cognate character; the .purposes.
to which it is to be applied to be
always determined by five trustees, nomi
nated in the first instance by Dr. Duff
himself, and afterwards self-elected accotd
ing to laws laid flown by him • and that in
these trustees the property shell be vested."
As most of your readers are aware, Dr. -
Duff will, after his return to Scotland, be
come the Convener of the Free Church
Assembly's Foreign Mission Committees.
During the rainy season, and under much
weakness of body, Dr. Duff was greatly re- ,
oruited by a voyage to Singapore, China,
Ceylon, Bombay, and' Madras. His visits
to each were necessarily brief. Even a
cursory view, however, of Chinese matters,
led him at once to the conclusion that, in
the general impression made on the people
at large by English life, civilization and
Christianity, China stands many years be
hind the position we have attained in In
pia; while in the perfect stillness of all
life in Java and the Dutch islands, in the
utter luck of all activity in their intellec
tual,*commercial, and political world; be
recognized the state of things which was
universal in India toward the doe of the
last Century. ,
With profound satisfaction, Dr. Duff
found at Hong Kong that Dr, Legge, of the
London Missionary Society, was making
steady progress translating the Chinese
Classics. Knowing the great value of the
modern re-publication of the Hindu Shas
ters, both in the Sanscrit and English lan
guages; remembering that every new ef
fort to make these Singers accessible to
their votaries had only exposed new error,
and has been destructive of their authority,
Dr. Duff has felt that in China, too, to give
bah missionaries and people full access to
the great books on which modern belief
rests, can only tend to trlake error clear, and
to bhow• the need of 'a Revelation really
sent from heaven. He is anxious therefore
to see Dr. Legge set free as far as possible
from the routine of missionary work, in
order to devote his time, scholarship and
experience tb the completion of his work.
PRESBYTERIAN MISSIONS among the
Irish Roman Catholics have recently re
ceived vigorous help at Belfast. It is
known to some of your readers that the,
venerable and Rev. Robert Allen presides ,
over a number of Mission •Schools in the
Province of Connaught: This excellent
man was lately deprived, by early death, of
a• beloved daughter, his helper and hand in
every good work. Sympathy flowed :to
ward him from every part, of the Kingdom,
while Belfast and Ulster have lately sent
him a sum of nearly £1,500, partly raised
by subscription and partly by a sale of la:
dies' work. •Thus the good man's mind is
freed from much anxiety, and in his sorrow
he finds the calmness which comes -from
strong and living faith.
THE LATE OitIgTMAS 89/11901:112,8 well as the
New Year and the severe frost which spelidi
ly followed it, have brought out liberal gifts
to the poor and destitute, both in London
and the-Provinces.' At Christmas time we
have a resuscitation of the old 44 Carols."
Here is one of these, founded on a well
known parable and pithily rebi4r.ing hard
hearted luxurious self-indulgence :
As it fell out upon a day,
Rich Dives made a feast,
And he invited all his friends
And gentry of the best.
Then Lazarus laid him down and wept,
. And down at Dives'`door,
Some meat, some drink, brother Dives,
Bestow upon the poor. • .
Thou art none of my brother, Lazerus,
That is begging at my gate;
No meat, no drink Aral I give thee, ..
For Jesus Christ his sake. ,
• Then Dives sent out his hungry dogs
To worry poor Lazarus away :
They . , had not poiver to bite one bit,
But licked his soros away.
Now it fell out upon a day,.
Lazarus sickened and died,
There came two angels down from heaven,
Thereto his soul to guide. , '
As it fell out upon a day,
Dives sickened s and died;
There came two serpents out oflell,
Thereto his soul to guide.
Rise up, rise up, brother Dives,
And come along with me,
There is place prepared in hell
• From which thou canst not flee. •
A sudden arrest has been put upon labor
—especially that of masons, excavators,

there are many families l udistress. ' The
continuance of frost is greatly dreaded.
That however is a rare thing in this coun
try. But at present the frost is general

enham, there is skating on the ponds by
day, and by night—in the latter oases large
coal fires are lighted on the ice, ana each
okater.(with many a spectator) has a torch
in his hand—so that the scene is alike pic
turesque and exhilerating. At Edinburgh
and elsewhere the Scotch people are in a
state of the greatest possible delight at the
opportunity given them of practicing their
favorite game of " curling.' On Dudding
stone Lough, in the Royal Park at Edin
btrgh, curling-matches are daily played.
Our Flung Prince Alfred, who has gone
for the Winter to Studgate,.the Edinburgh
University, is seen skating every day. He
is a fine, frank, kind youth, and very
simple and unassuming in his manners.

There he will be a near neighbor of the

For the Presbyterian Banner
Archbishop Hughes in Purgatory.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—John Hughes,
,by
the grace of the Pope, Archbishop, died on
the 3d of January of the current year.
And from your neighbor, the Catholic, of
January 23d, I learn that he was cast into
Purgatorial fires, "Ao as to be made worthy
to enter into the presence 'of God." This
was distinctly assumed by Bishop M'Closkey
in his sermon at the funeral obsequies of
the Archbishop, and " bishops, priests and
holy virgins." are summoned to•the rescue.
The Pittsburgh• Catholic published the
same sentiment on the 23d of January. In
glancing over this remarkable sermon, sev
eral things have struck my mind as rather
singular. Permit me .to present a few of
them to your readers. .•
1. I am not. quite satisfied of the Abso
lute oorreetness. of the following statement :
The death of the Archbishop, we are told,
was " the loss of the whole Church. in this
country ;" for, adds Bishop M'Closkey,
" we do not doubt, -we cannot - doubt, that
when the electric spark carried with its
lightning speed the, sad tidings of his death
throughout the length and breadth of the
country, it thrilled every heart, especially
every Catholic heart." "It thrilled every
heart throughout the length andbreadth Of
the country !" Well, I have my doubts
about the thrilling; and, to be candid, I
am not one of those who, as the Bishop
rags cannot doubt that every heart was
thrilled r ' cannot
I rather suspect there were soy
oral large denominations who have no
" Catholic " hearts amongthem, and that
quite a number of them felt no " thrill of
anguish" at all.. %Kat no; I correct myself. •
They felt a deep concern that a man who
might have been eminently useful in the
world, should have lived and died under the
deep delusions and imposture of such a sys
tem as Popery. .
2. Judging - from my own limited obser-
Vation, I rather think many- persons would
dissent from the following passage, where,
after pronouncing Bishop Hughes " the
great prelate of the American Clukrch,"
Bishop M'Closkey adds : " As we look now
upon, that Jife, through the softened and
gentle lustre which death has already thrown
around it, it seems .to rise up—its charao
-ter to rise up—even in• colossal sublimity.
All former prejudices are forgetten, all an
imosities laid aside, all differeaces, either
of creed, feeling, or opinion—all melt and
fade away in that august, imposing and ven
erable presence. We think only of the
great prelate and the-great than," &c., &e.
Now, Messrs. Editors, I have very little
faith in this summary method of convert
ing us all from .our " differences of creed,
feeling and opinion." The process re
minds the Protestant of the wholesale man
ner in which some Romish missionaries are
reported as having converted large. num
bers of the heathen, viz.: by collecting the
crowd on the river bank and using a large
bro.= in their baptism.. -
3. I cannot entirely agree with Bishop
M'Closkey when, in his sermon on the
dead Archbishop, he says of his wonderful
works': "The whole diameter of the Oath-.
olic people was raised to an elevation -which
he himself occupied." If .this is strictly
true,.common fame has greatly belied the.
Catholics of New-York ; and tlieArchbish
op could not have stood on.a very elevated
"eminence "—otherwiss it is certainly an
exaggeration to say that "he seemed to
raise up to it all his people."
But where is the Archbishop ? I bbgan
this, article with the announcement that
Archbishop Hughes had been sent to Pur
gatorial flames ;' to make him worthy to
appear in the preience of God." This sur
prised me even more than the pulpit curi
osities already noticed. This, to say the
least, is a sad fall from _the elevalecl emi
nence to which he had lifted all, the Catho
lics of New-York ! In another brief article
I propose to examine whether the-Archi
bishop be indeed in such a state of Purga
torial preparation for heaven.

'(UnionO Colleges."
MESSRS. EDITORS :—Your article' on
this subject, tvo weeks ago, was timely,
just and:in good spirits. Its object is surely
in harmony with the views and expecta
tions of the public," whose desire is " a
first-class College" in this region. The
proposition fox the union of Washington
and Jefferson Colleges, so unanimously
adopted by the Synods of Waeling, Pitts
burgh, and Ohio, based upon the condi
tional offer of $50,000, is an unmistakable
eviden.ce of the deep and generaffeeling
pervading the community on that subject.
Is it possible that this , last hope of " a con
summation so devontly to be wished," can
fail ?
But your readers will not only infer that
any negotiations between the two Boards
have thus far been ineffectual, b'u also that
the prospect is less hopeful, than has gen:
erally been supposed. The proposition of
the Synods to lave the question of loca
tion—the only difficult question connected
with`the whole subject—to disintereited
arbitrament, was so fair and equitable that
either institution must incur a fearful
responsibility by declining it. Yet it is
more than whispered that one of them has
not only refused to entertain 'this-'wise,
method of adjustment, but also declines to
negotiate on any basis admitting the pos
sibility of a loss of the site. If this be so,
it is not quite so clear to my minlbs it ap
pears to be to, yours, that the *offaer side
should yield everything involved in the
main question.. This would .1:4, at least, a
rare instance of magnanimity toward a
party which " cannot stain to the degree
of disinterested, public, Christian spirit,"
which you and' others 'think the case, so
plainly requires. Without asserting that
rumor represents the facts correctly, it may
not be improper to ask for information,
whether'these things be so.
But though not prepared to speak for
Jefferson College, I am prepared from evi-
deuce which I cannot doubt, to state that
the Trustees of Washington promptly, and
without hesitation, placed themselves upon
the platform of the proposition from the
Synods, and are still ready, at any time, to
negotiate on that basis. They are quite
willing to submit the whole question of lo
cation to disinterested persons, jointly
chosen, .whatever may be their decision.
Will it be expected that they should en
entirely forego their self-respect, by treat
ing in any other way than a's an, equal
party, and upon terms mutually fair and
reasonable ?
This is a time when the friends of both'
institutions should rise above local or . party
jealousies, and look mainly at the public
interests. Should the present just and
plausible aoheme prove a failure, it will be
matter of lasting regret to all lovers of

. MESSRS."EDITORS :—To the numerous
testimonies given in the Banner, of the
favors conferred by Presbyterian churches
upon their pastors these days, permit me to
mention that their brethren in faith. and
discipline, the Welsh Calvinistic Metho
dist church, at Freedom; Cattaraugus Co.,
New-York, have also-visited their pastorat
his residence in. Sandusky, in the same
township,'on tho first day of Xanuary, do
nating for the use of himself and family,
in cash, $93.89, and in provisions $50.56,
*Mel, together with $30.05 collected late
ly by a few young ladies,-to preserit him
with a " top coat," brings the whole amount
to the handsome• sum of $174.00. May
the Lord render double unto -them it re
turn, is my heart's desire. -
It is always pleasant to be . agreeably sur
prised. When notified by a member of my
Session to be at home on the 21st instant
at 10 o'clock, the first thought suggested
was a wedding at the parsonage. This, too,
is agreeable, but no surprise.
.Rut when
the church of Laurel Hill made a donation
visit to their pastor—an incident.wilhout
a precedent in the history of the congrega
tion - Sinceits organizatien in 1776—the
surprise was_ doubly agreeable.
From certain - families and inlividuals,
the undersigned, during a pastorate of al
most feurteen years, has received various
marks of substantial kindness; but no gen
eral simu!taneous effort of the kind was
made,, until the date above mentioned..
The amount contributed, in money and.
its equivalent, somewhat exceeded $lOO.
With the small salaries so common in the
country, such a gift is of real value, aside
from - the evidence thus afforded of an in
terest in the comfort of the pastor and his
family. Tee kindly greetings of friends
and fellow-worshippers—the pleasant - social
intercourse of the occasion—the sweet min
glings. of heart and sympathy in the clos
ing religious services, was well adapted to
extend. and foster the' reciprocal interest
felt by pastor and people in each other's
presint and eternal weal. ;That the choicest
blessings .of a. God in Covenant may rest
upon all the donors, with their fainilies,
and the entire congregation of whielL they
form a part, .is the sincere = and earn e st
prayer of their pastor. .
DIIBIIIS
Let the name of Newport Presbyterian
churifft be enrolled in the increasing list of
those now kindly ministering to the comfort
of their pastors.. On the 28th of January
said church was well represented at their
pastor's residence in Darlington. Their
visit was one o*kindness. Every counte
nance was bright; every heart was happy.
The generous seemed' to feel the truth of
the words of Jesus Christ, when he said,
" It is more blessed to give than to receive."
A sumptuous dinner was provided and
served up by the ladies of the party. But
that was not all; the • party left 'behind
them many tokens of kindness, such as
flour, wheat, oats, hams, fruj o t, &e., and
last, but
.not least, 'enough of that which
Il i answereth all things" to buy - something
brandsome.
Besides the important and pecuniary
worths of their liberal and seasonable dona
tions the visit and social intercourse were
peculiarly gratifying, as a mark of esteem
and good will to him who labors. among
them in word and doctrine. To all who
favored us with their presence or presents,
we tender our Fateful acknowledgments.
We greet them in the tiord, and pray that
grace, mercy and peace may be multiplied
to them and theirs. 4. W. BOYD.

of typhoid pneumonia, Mr. BERRIDGE LUCAS,
in his 63d year.
Mr. lA. was born july 2d, 1800, in Washington
Cowan Pa., where he received religious train
ing by pious parents, who were worthy members
of West Alexander church. He was married to
Miss Jane Lee on - the 2d of April, 1822. He re
moved to Ohio in the. Winter of 1823, and re
turned to Pennsylvania in 1828'; four years
after, he made a. public profession of-his faith in
Christ, by uniting :with the* church of West
Alexander in the thirty-second year of his age.
• Early.inlife he was deeply impressed with
muse of his obligations• to trod.. Thit was ex
emplified in the fact, that from the time of his
marriage, when he could rio longer kneel around
his father's family altar, he ereoted one of his
own, which was never neglected till the time of
his death.
He was elected Ruling Elder of. *est ihtleit
church in 1887, where, for nine years, he mag
nified the office with great ability. He removed
to. Brimfield, 1866, where he was imme
diately eleoted to that office, which he held till

DlED—December 18th, 1863, .of diptheria, in
Union Tit: Washington County, Pa., SARAH
BELL, "aged 7 years, 2 months, and 14 days;
also, on the 22d of December, 1863, of the same
disease, CORALINN THERESA, aged 9 years,
9 months, and 4 days; children of John and
Nancy Pollock. -
A sore trial for the parents—their two only
daughters taken away. Early had they dedica
ted.them to God in.baptism. He who gave them
has taken them away- He who, while upon
earth, said, " Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not: for of such is the
kingdom of God," has taken them home to
heaven. "We would not," say the parents,
" call them back even if wP could." "The Lord
gar and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed
be the name of the Lord."
The eldest spoke frequently of Jesus during
the last-hours of her illness. A short time be
fore her spirit departed, she bid all around her
good-by, and asked them to meet her in heaven.
Their 'spirits have gime to dwell where
"Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more."
