It is a received opinion in the best in

There is a serious schism in the Mormon

under the leadership of Jo

Kliness to weather the mild Winter of that

l!thousand tea-plants .have been raised dar

in China and Japan very extensively, in
latitudes coresponding to California, and
the San Francisco journals think there can
be little doubt that it will be cultivated

The War.--On Monday, 22d ult., a strong
lolumn of infantry, preceded by cavalry, moved
ut from Chattanooga, and passing the old field
if Chattanooga, took a direct road for Tunnel'
1111 end Dalton. Generals Palmer, Johnston,
laird, Davis and Carlin, directed the movements
' the 'whole and of the different 'directions of
,te force, while Colonel Harrison, of the 89th-
Indiana; Colonel Palmer, of the 16th l'enn'a,
tied Colonel Boone, of the 18th, superintended
'is operations of the cavalry:" Gen. Whipple,
ten. Thomas' chief of staff, was also present.
!he force advanced without any opposition to
is East Chattanooga, across which and bee
trough Ringgold Gap, in Taylor's Ridge, a
tarty of rebel cavalry were driven in confusion
ty Colonel Harrison. The head =of the coluion
oarched on and rested at Ringgold during the
ight. Next morning they commenced moving.
The cavalry in advance had several lively skir
lishes with the enemy's mounted, force -con
tisting principally of the First, when they were,
[owever, continually pushed back until about 4
'. M., when our forties came in sight of Tunnel
till. Here a conflict ensued, in which but little
ices was sustained by either side. Colonel Har
rison, having pushed far toward the front,
tied seeing the enemy outnumbered his own
force, retired until he met our infantry e,d
tenoing. Certain, then, of support, he again
messed forward and drove the rebels precipi
tately out of Tunnel Hill ridge. It was now
I P. M., and the rebels fled rapidly along the
)alton road, and our troops pursued, without
further fighting, until within three miles of
Dalton, where the rebels were found very strong
ly posted in a gorge through'a high precipitous
rouge of mountains called ' , Becky Fall."
Thursday night our troops fell back to Tunnel
1111, which place wilt be held by them. The
feconnolssance was entirely successful, and de
!eloped the foot that the enemy 'were in force at
)alton. Claiborne's division, which had been
rhpateled to reinforce Palk was recalled, and
ot back in time to participate in the fight,.

lur entire lose is 800. The rebels suffered more
severely.
•
Gen; Smith's cavalry expedition has fallen
jack to Memphis. Adams, Lee, and Roddy con
rentrated against him and forced him back.
They tried to out his column in two, but without
-success, Very heavy fighting occurred during
"the retreat, in which three field pieces, four
pounder steel guns, which were spiked, were cap
tured. The rebel loss is quite heavy. General
Smith burned every trestle on the Memphis and
Ohicißailroad, and destroyed miles of track, anti
large quantities of corn, as he fell back. He
also captured and brought with nim over 1,600
mules and horses, about 2,000 negroes, and over
800 rebel prisoners. It is stated that our lose is
much less than the enemy's.
The expedition was successful at every point
and in every particular, except the importance
of making a junction with General Sherman,
which -is attributed mainly to the slow move
ments of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania cav
alry regiments, which caused a week's delay in
starting the expedition. The retreat was not at
any time a rout, though there was some strag
gling. . .
At the last accounts, Longstreet was still re
treating, his headquarters bting Ft Greenville os
Wednesday night. Our cavalry came upon,their
rear-guard in the vicinity of Bean's Station, yes
terday. A alight skirmish cnsued, when the
rebels gave way. General Schofield is pursuing
them with his troops, but owing to the rapid re.
treat of the enemy, no engagement is expected
on this side of the Virginia line. Five officers
and a number of men deserted when Longstreet
fell back, and they have taken the amnesty
oath. The officers state that he is retreating to
Richmond, with his original troops, leaving
Johnson and Buckner to protect the Virginia
border.
A correspondence has passed • between Gene.
Peok and Pickets in relation to the death of
Col. Shaw and the subsequent execution by the
rebels of a negro soldier for his alleged murder.
Gen. Peck says the Government. of the United
States has wisely seen fit to enlist many thou
sand colored soldiers to aid in putting down the
rebellion, and has placed them on the same foot
ing in all respects as the white troops. He en
closes a. copy of the President's order on the
subject, that. for every soldier of the United.
States killed in violation of the laws of war, a
• rebel shall be executed, etc., and adds: 4,Be
lieving that this atrocity has been perpetrated
without your knowledge, and that you will take
prompt steps to disavow this violation of the
usages of war,
and to bring the offenders to
justice, I shall refrain from executing a rebel
soldier until I learn your action in the premises."
Gen. Pickets replies, under date of Petersburg,
Va., Feb. 16th, that had he caught any negro
who bad killed either officer, soldier or citizen
of the Confederate States he should have caused
him to be immediately executed, and states that
he has in'his possession 450 officers and men of
the United States army, and for every man Gen.
Peck executes he will hang ten of them.
Advices from North Carolina say that the re,
bele will undoubtedly make another effort to
drive General Peck's forces out of the State.
They have three iron-clads nearly ready to move
down the Neuse, Roanoke and Tar rivers. • Our
late incursion troubled them greatly, by destroy
ing a vast amount of the commissary stores. It
is said that Governor Vance demands the expul
sion of the Union forces from the State, as the
condition of keeping the State troops in Confed
erate service. Hence, it is argued, the rebels
will abandon Virginia, and plan their next bat
tle-field in North Carolina.
We learn by despatches from Gen. Bank's De
partment that Admiral Farragut bad six mortar
boats accompanying his flagship, the Hartford.
The rebels are expected 6o have twenty thousand
troops in and around Mobile; and two iron clads,
the Tennessee and the Nashville, are lying in the
harbor. -
The Army of the Potomac is said to have made
an important move in force on Saturday, 27th
ult., but at the time we go to press we have -no
confirmation of this report.
Advices from Vicksburg confirm previous re
ports that, Sherman had occupied Selma, - Ala
bama.
Congrees.—The President has . signed the
enrollment bill. The following confirmations
have been made by the Senate. Major General
of the Regular Army—Maj. Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant, of the U. S. Volunteers, from July 4th,
1863, to fill an original vacancy in the regular
army. Brigadier Generals in the regular army—
Maj. Gen. Geo. G. Meade, U. 8. Volunteers,
from July 4th, 1863, Vice Sumner,
deceased;
Major Gen. Wm. T. Sherman, U. S. Volunteers,
from July 4th, 1863, -to fill original vacancy;
Major Gen James B. McPherson, U. S. Volun
teers, from August, 1863, vice Warvey retired;
Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas, U. S. Volunteers;
from October 27th, 1863, vice Anderson retired.
- The Senate, on Monday, spent some time in
discussing the bill which passed the House last
week, extending the bounties to the first of April.
During the debate it was stated that ninety mil
lions of dollars had already been paid since the
first of this year, by special abtion of this Con
grew, for bounties; and that the passage of this
bill would compel an outlay of at least twenty
five millions more. The bill, after considerable
discussion, and a statement from Senator Wilson,
that Gens. Hancock and Burnside had expressed
the opinion that the number of soldiers required
in the President's call, would be raised by the
first of April, was referred to the Military. Com
mittee.
The bill reviving the grade of Lieut. General
has been signed by the presiding officers of both
Houses of Congress. It has yet to be presented
to the President for his approval before it be
comes a law. Therefore, the announcement that
Gen. Grant has been appointed to that office, is
premature.
General.—A large and enthusiastic Conven
tion of the loyal people of West Tennessee, met
in Memphis on the evening of the 23d ult. The
following resolutions, in substance, were unani
mously adopted:
The first is a disavowal of the further partici
pation in, and. responsibility for the rebellion,
and providing that proper measures be immedi
ately' adjusted for reorganizing the State govern
ment on a basis of absolute loyalty to the Union
and Constitution.
The second declares that all acts passed by the
Legislature disiolving the relation of the State of
Tennessee to the United States, is without au
thority and null and void.
The third declares for the resumption of fed
eral relations in the Union, with such reforms in
the State Constitution as will make rebellion and
secession impossible.
4th. The importance is recognized of making
the State Constitution Republican in fact. as well
as in name, guaranteeing natural and inherent
rights to all persons in the. State, and providing
that slavery shall henceforth cease to exist, and
be forever prohibited by denying the elective
franchise to all persons who have been engaged
in the rebellion, and who fail to satisfactorily
establish their fidelity to the national Govern
ment and its laws.
6th. That immediate action be taken to reor
ganize the State under the Constittition and laws
of the United States, and to that end we invite
all loyal citizens who will take the oath of alle
giance as prescribed by Governor Johnson:
The seventh requests Governor Johnson to is
sue a proclamation for the election of delegates to
the Convention to amend the State Constitution,
so as to conform to the fact that emancipation
has already been accomplished by rebellion and
war.
The eighth requests the Union State Executive
Committee from Weld Tennessee to lay the reso
lutions before" Governor Johnson, and to wafer
with him as to the accomplishment of the facts
therem set forth.
9th. President Lincoln and his administration,
in suppressing the rebellion; are endorsed, and
their support to sustain and completi the work
is pledged. •
The sixth resolution pledges their influence to
secure by State legislation the reimbursement of
losses resulting from emancipation, to citizens
of undoubted loyalty, now cooperating in re
claiming the State from slavery, met with an
animated discussion, and it, with the substitute,
were referred back. to the Committee.
Mr. Morgan, the President, congratulated the
Convention on the unanimity of sentiment which
existed, and hoped the emancipation platform
adopted would continue to. gather strength and
adherents until the last vestige of slavery be
abolished from the State.
The Indiana Union State Convention, met at
Indiapolle, on Febrnaty 28d. Ex-Governor J. A.
Wright presided. Gov. Morton was nominated
for reelection,. by acclamation. Gen. Nathan
Kimball was selected for Lieutenant Governor.
A resolution endorsing the Administration and
recommending the nomination of President Lin
coln for reblectiod, was passed unanimously.
The Convention presents the name of Andrew
Johnson, as its choice for. Vice President. • .
From Salt Lake City we have a report that a
desperate band of highwaymen rob and murder
the returning miners on the road from Salt Lake
to the Bannock mines. The citizens of Bannock
have formed a vigilence committee, and thirteen
of the robbers have already been hung. Arte- 4 1
mus Ward and his agent were captured by In
dians while on an excursion to Salt Lake, but
were subsequently released.
A Convention to devise measures for the im
provement of the Ohio river met in Louisville,
a few days since, and passed a resolution asking
an appropriation of $10,000,000 from the Federal
Government for that purpose.
- Twelve barges, containing 12,000 bales of hay,
were bdrned at Memphis on the evening of the
20th. The bay was valued at $200,000, and be

Foretgn.—By the steamer I:fec la, at New-York,
we have Liverpool dates to the 10th ult. The
report that the Danes had retreated from Schles

Dannewerke and blew up the works at Missunde.

whence they . %Teo ferreted thwerd Duppel.
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1864.
There had been several severe engagements,
with considerable losses ou both sides. The
Germans secured great booty' anda large num
ber of guns and prisoners. On the 6th instant
an engagement occurred near Idstedt, in which
the Austro-Prussian army was victorious. A
Copenhagen dispatch announces that the Rigs
read, on the 9th, voted an address to the army,
declaring's determination to prosecute the war
energetically. A dispatch from Vienna states
that on the 7th a council of ministers adopted
resolutions to the effect that the London protocol
can no longer be preserved by Austria as a basis
of negotiations between the great Powers. The
latest dispatches say that the Danish army is re
ported to be in a state of complete dissolution.
The Prussians have occupied Flensburg. In
England the Judges of the Exchequer in the
Chambers have decided to dismiss the appeal in
the Alexandra case on the ground of a want of
jurisdiction. The Parliamentary proceedings
are unimportant. New Zealand advises an
nounce the defeat of the natives by the English.
Later.—By the Hibernian, at Portland, we have
advices from Europe one day later. In the Brit
ish Parliament the Earl Derby had "rittaked the
government policy in regard to the Alabama and
Laird's rams, and insinuated that the latter were
seized under American menaces. Earl Russell
defended the government. From Schleswig the
dales are to the 11th ult. - The Danes; it is stated,
have evacuated their works at Duppel, and em
barked their stores and mar material. The Eng
lish government, according to the London Fog,
has proposed an armistice, on the basis of the
evacuation of Schleswig, with the exception of
the island of Alsen, by the Danes, and the prop
osition is said to meet with, the support of France,
Russia and Sweden. From New Zealand we
have intelligence that the Enlish troops have
made a successful attack on the Maories in New
Zealand, annihilating the tribe of Njakewa, the
most powerful tribe in the country south of Auk
land.

The Recruiting Business has been quite
brisk in Pittsburgh and Allegheny for a• few
weeks past. On Sunday a number of the offices
were kept open, some forty volunteers were mus
tered and paid the first instalment of the Govern
ment bounty, and about the same number passed
through the hands of the Examining Surgeon, Dr.
Levis. In Allegheny City, on Saturday, eighty
two men were received. The result of the two
days' recruiting is upwards of two hundred men.
The number of volunteers which passed through
Captain Wright's office, up to Saturday; is four
thousand and seven, of which three thousand six
hundred and eighty-five were sent to Camp Cope
land, the remainder to Harrisburg. These vol
unteers were from six Congressional districts

proportion we cannot at present state. At Camp

The Allegheny County Teachers' Associa
tion met on Saturday, 27th ult., and was called to
order by the President, Rev. Saml.Finley: After ,
the opening prayer, by Rev. W. S. Gray, and the
reading of the minutes, the President proceeded
to deliver his inaugural address, which he ac
companied by a lecture on the Early English
Language. The lecture was ably delivered, and
was listened to with that interest which Its liter
ary merit demanded.
The discussion on the Errors of, the School-
Room, was then opened - by Prof. Burt, who urged
that the errors to a considerable extent would be
cut off by the employment in the profession of
good teachers, men and women of vigor and tal
ent, fully imbued with their honorable task.
He was followed by the -Rev. Mr. Gray, on the
same subject, after which the meeting adjourned.

Within five months the Angel of Death his

me without a sting. He came to show the'
I ring what a narrow stream "divides the
1 - limply land from ours." He : came to lift
illio from the arras of loved ones into the arms
that dear Saviour who, 1313 kip himself said,
td saved him with an everlasting salvation.
I oath was just budding into manhood when
c'aath transferred the sphere of that manhood
om earth to heaven. He lived a life of faith.
i tee persons who stood by his death bed on that
Y. emorable evening will testify that he "died in

i am his lips as eternity. opened its portals for
I,:s entrance upon- its , stupendous realities.

of judgment the record of their conduct

k tried by the power of the Holy Ghost." What
as this but a proof of that • deolaration of the
ivine Word, , "It is the spirit that quickeneth."
I nee having been sealed unto the day of re
f,- mption, is it any wonder that his eye was
I ' ihted with holy joy as he viewed the breaking
•
that day? Having received_ the earnest of
t i e inheritance, is it any wonder that his tongue
e emed to be touched with a Wee coal from God's
f: ler, as his soul mounted to the Purchased pos
e:salon? He was a. diligent reader and mini
it dad a Most infirm thirst-for information. 'ls
it any wonder that he exulted in the prospect of
that state where there is no wearinest of the
flesh?
There is no exaggeration in this 'sketch. Ail
these statements rest. on the truths of our holy
religion. Language will not express the impres
sions received from the departure of the' de
oeeeeft, for they are simply unutterable. They
bring to mind the lines:
" Is that a death-bed where a Christian dies.,
Yes, but not his; 'Hs death itself there dies."
•Willie has gone to Christ's sinless school. God
grant that the last end of his father and mother,
of his brothers and sisters, may be like his.
The Christ that saved him is ready to seek and
to save us! Three have already gone from our
number to the mansions which Christ has pre
pared for his people. It was expedient for us
that they should go away. Expedient because
these solemn calls should stir us up to so live
that death may find us all with wings plumed for
a flight to the.f celestial home where our family
will never be broken again: G conga.

THE COUGHING SEASON.
As the regular coughing season is about to commence, and
as many hereabouts seem already to have gut a good start,
and moreover appear desirous of retaining these hacking
hawking propensities, so pleasant and agreeable to one's self
and those about him, a few words on the manner of pre
serving them so as to keep up a very respectable cough, for
an indefinite period, may not lm out of place.
-
IMPRIMIS:—Avoid the use of warm and comfortable
Clothing—expose yourself as much as possible to the cold,
damp night air, and be sure to wear thin shoes when the
weather,is wet and the ground sloppy and slushy ; but above
all things if, after having by this means acquired a respecta
ble; edifying cough. you desire to retain It until it assumes
a bronchial or consumptive type, don'ttoucb, taste or handle
Sellers' Celebrated
COITGH SYRUP.
- No congh, whatever its nlagnitude or dimensions,-has over
beemable to stand before it. The Pyrtip touches it, and it
breaks, scattersiand skedaddles like a body of scared rebels
before a .I"ankee charge. Thousands who for weeks have
been nurturing their growing cough, preparatory to the
better entertainment of the Sunday congregation or the
evening party. have bad that same &trine cough knocked
into the-middle of next Week, billeting taken; accidentally
or otherwise, a few doses of thisefficacions medicine. Don't
touch it, then, if you would cough, cough, and cough on;
for it will .rarely stop it in spite of alkyou can do—so every
body says that it. Yon will dad some of their names
in:the Clipper this week, appended to the advertisement
heeded, "Sellers' Cough Syrup." Alt druggietshave it,but
don't take any of:it, unless you want to destroy your cough
entirely, for it costs your about 2d cents a bottle ; and who
wouldn't rather have a nice cough toearry about with him
than to spend a quarter f—Browneville Clipper.

Counterfeiting the Mustang Liniment under pretenae of

To guard against further imposition, I have procured from

which is placed over the top of each bottle. Baal stamp
hears the far simile of my Signature, and without whic h

"Dzaa Sia :—I have been afflicted many years with severe
prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and hands, and a
general disordered system. Physicians and medicines failed
to relieve me. While visiting some friends in New-Yore
who -were using Plantation Bitters, they prevailed upon me
to try them. I commenced With a small wine-glassful after
dinner. -Peeling better by degrees, in a few- days I was
astonished to Rod the coldness and cramps had entirely left

done for years. I feel like another being. My appetite and
strength have also greatly improved by the use of the Plan
