On the Ist of April, the rebels attacked Roooh's
plantation, on the Yaeoo river, one of the largest
plantations in the State. It bad extensive wo;ks
and eplendid buildings, all of which were de
stroyed. One negro and four children were
burned in the building. The First Mississippi
cavalry, 'colored, 600, strong, ,quartered near the
plantation, maintained- a fight .with the rebels
until 8 o'clock in the morning.when they charged
and repulsed them. The enemy were 1,500
strong. Our loss was sixteen killed. The rebel
loss is unknown, . but one hundred killed and

The gunboats Brewster and Qen. Amp, with
a small force, went up the Chickahominy to.
within fifteen miles of Richmond, this week.
The troops scouted the country, and exchanged
shots with the rebel cavalry. Some forty eon
trabauds were brought in. The expedition was
for a secret purpose. •
A party of refugees arrived at Washington on
Friday, bringing late intelligence from Rich
mond. They report daily augmentations to
Lee's army by large numbers of conscripts from
'Various portions of the Confederacy. The rebels
are increasing their armies very quietly, .but
effectively and rapidly, and they expect, to start
Lee out on the Spring campaign with not less
than eighty or ninety thousand men, without
weakening the other armies in the field. The
conscription is merciless in the extreme. Its
effects on the people are studiously concealed,
the newspapers being prohibited from. any ex
pression in regard to it. The conscripted troops
arriving at Richmond are mostly armed and or
ganized, and are sent forward to the Rapidan
without delay. It is the general understanding
among the citizens of Riohznond that the rebel
leaders have, aoncluded on a defensive line of
operations this Spring. Misery and want every
where in Dixie continue to prevail, and the
great problem of the food question is to eke out
present supplies until vegetables can be raised.
New-Orleans advises of the 29th ult., state
that the rebel ram Tenneasee was struck by a
squall while lying near Grant's Pass, near ' Mo
bile, causing her to keel over and sink. Nothing
but about two feet of her smoke stack remained
visible. Her armament will prove a heavy loss
to the rebels. It consisted of six 100-pounder
rifled Parrotts, and nearly as many smaller
pieces. •
Congresslonal.—Several important measures
have been discussed in Congress during the past
week, and some exeitink debates 'have taken
place. In the Senate, the proposed anti-slavery
amendment to the Constitution, after an able dis
mission um both sides, continued through many
days, waa passed, April Bth, by a vote of 88 to 6.
The amendment, which now goes to the House, is
as follows :
" Be it resolved by the Sens a te and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Hous
es concurring, that the. following article be pro
posed to the Legislatures of the several States as
an amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, which, when ratified by three-fourths of
said Legislatures, shall be valid to all intents
and purposes, as a'tarFita said Constitution,
namely :
AICTIOLN Xlll.,Section 1. Neither slavery
nor involuntary serv itude, except as a punish
ment for crime whereof the party shall have been
duly convioted, shall exist within the United
States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
" Bso. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce
this article , by appropriate legislation."
A bill was introduced for the satisfaction of
French spoliations prior to 1801, to the amount
of $6,000,000, a subject which bas been before
Congress for half _ a century. A bill to , allow
loyal States to rsortnit in disloyal States, was
discussed. A resolution calling for information
as to the seizure of Church property, was tabled,
April 6th In the /louse the following, one of
the most important and significant resolutions of
the session wet adopted, April 4th, by a unan
imous vote—Yeas, 109 (increased to 131) ; Nays,
none:
Revolved, That the Congress of the United
States are unwilling by silence to leave the na
tions of the world under the impression that they
are indifferent spectators of the deplorable events
tiow transpiring in the Republic of Mexico;
therefore, they think it fit to declare that it does•
not accord with the convictions of the people of
the United States to acknowledge a Monarchical
Goverment erected on the ruins of any Repub
lican Government in America, under the auspices
of any European power.
. -
• The National , Bank Bill, which has been so
long a subject of debate, after being.overwhelm
ed•with amendments, was finally, April 6th, laid
on the table, yeas 89, nays 44. A bill- was in
troduced providing for the construction of two
railroad bridges over the Ohio, which will prove
a subject of contention. The Tax Bill, and-Rar
itan and Delaware Bay Railroad gill, have con
tinued to receive attention. Resolutions calling
informationin.regard to negro enlistments and
the disposition made of commutation money,
were tabled : one calling for the , quotas of troops
furnished by each State was adopted. A propo
sition was introduced to increase , the pity of pri
vate soldiers.
On Friday, April Bth, Mr. Long, of Ohio,
made a speech, of an hour's length, which at
tracted unusual attention. Mr. Long vigorously.
denounced the war, and warmly advocated the
recognition of the Southern Confederacy. On
Saturday, Mr. Colfax, (Speakor), offered a reso
luthin proposing the expulsion of Mr. Long.
Mr. Harris, of Maryland, endorsed Mr. Long's
speech, and g 4 prayed Almighty God the South
might never be conquered." A motion to expel
Mr. Harris failed of a two-thirds vote. A reso
lution of censure against Mr. Harris then passed
by 'a vote of 98 to 18. Mr. Long's case is still
under consideration.
Pennsylvania Legislature.—The Appropria
lion Bill, reported in the House, April 6, makes
up an aggregate of $8,800,000. Among the ap
propriations are the , following items of interest
to Western Pennsylvania: Dtzmont Asylum,
$42,600; House of Refuge, $23,200 . ; Western
Penitentiary, $13,73Q ; Home of the Friendless,
$6,000; Passavant's Infirmary, $4,000; Mercy
Hospital, $4,000. Salaries of Judges of 13ti
preme Court have been increased $700; of Ilko
law judges of Allegheny County, $6OO ; of *Mr
counties, $6OO. The Governor has signed . the
bill for an Insane Asylum at New Brighton. The
Senate has passed a bill incorporating the Yough
iogheny and Coal Hollow Railroad Co., and the
Tarentum, Mercer, and Butler Railroad Co. The
House has passed bills authorizing a Railroad
from Freeport to West Greenville, and the Free
port and Shenango Valley Railroad, and has un
der consideration a bill incorporating the Sub
terranean Oil Company: It is proposed to bring
Wilma Franklin to Pittsburgh by pipes. The
•Senate en Fiiday, April 8, passed to a third read
ing, by a vote of 19 to 8, a resolution removing
the capital to Philadelphia. A step so import
ant will not, it is hoped, be taken too hastily.
Gene ral.—Advices from Mattoon, • 111., to
April 2d,.state that the excitement had subsided,
and the insurgents have scattered. None can
be found audacious enough to confess himself one.
The Chicago Poet, after one of its editors hid
iittlied,the scene of disturbances, 'says that " the
attack upon the soldiers at Charleston was a pre
meditated affair; the scoundrels had been drilling
and preparing for several days, with the avowed
purpose of killing the Union soldiers; and the
soldiers were tired upon without the least provo
cation."
Late returns from the War Department give
the number of volunteer regiments im the army,
front the different States of the Union, as 600,
independent of the regular army, viithnn actual
force engaged at present of 690,00 D, leaving
120,000 killed, died from disease contracted
while in the service, prisoners df wer, sick and
wounded in hospitals, on furlough and de
serters.
The election in Maryland terminated .in a ma

scribed $1,900,000. Large foreign investments
are considered certain.
The Rhode Island election for Governor and
Legislature, resulted in the triumph of the Union
ticket.
Foreign.—Tho latest intelligence is barren
of interest. The Danish war progresses slowly,
with no marked successes on either side. Prus
sia and Austria have accepted the conference
proposed by England, without armistice, and it
will shortly assemble. Great coolness has arisen
between the Russian and French Governments,the
former having a conviction that the !after is-plot
ting miechief in European Turkey. The death
of the King of Wurtemberg was expected to oc
cur at any moment. The Archduke Maximilian
would embark for Mexico, March 80th. He will
adopt a policy of strict neutrality toward the
Confederate States. The rumor that Mr. Day
ton, the American Minister in Paris, had intima
ted the willingness of the United States Govern
ment to acknowledge the Mexican Empire, is de
nied. The London Morning Herald remarks that
unless the Emperor Napoleon .and Maximilian
recognize the South, the establishment of the
Mexican Empire will be a fruitless expenditure •
of strength by France, and will end in humilia
tion to all concerned. There has been an elec
tion held in Paris to fill two vacancies in the
representation of that city in the National Par
liament. The Government candidates were de
feated by overwhelming majorities, the members
elect being known as original republicans, and
as opposed to the Napoleonic dynasty. The
nine representatives of in the 'same body,
are all opposed to the GOVernment, and a great
feature in their platform is an opposition to the
carrying on of wars at a great dietanoi. from
home. The four new bloekade.:runners ready
for sea at Liverpool, were going to have a grand
trial of speed, in the shape •of a race to the Isle
of Man, on the 26th of March. The London
Poet says that five hundred , thousand bales of
cotton are stated to be now in the hands of the
Confederate Government, while 200,000 bales
would suffice to pay off the whole loan. A large
amount of bonds has already been dqlivered, and
cotton received in exchange, according to agree
ment. There is apparently increased facility for
running the blockade. Garibaldi was expected
at Southampton about the first of April. A se
vere famine was rapidly depopulating the Cape
de'Verde Wanda.

. Steubenville Female Seminary.—This in
stitution, founded more than thirtylve years
ago, has had a career of prosperity and useful
ness seldom equalled. At no previous time have
its, prospects been more cheering than now.
The Rev. Dr. Beatty , and Mrs. Beatty are still
identified with this Seminary, where they have
acquired such enviable distinction. And the
Rev: Mr. Reid and wife have by years of service
proved their eminent fitness for the high station
which they fill with so much acceptance to their
,pupils.
The closing exercises of the last term were
highly gratifying The examinations, the es
says, and the music were exceedingly creditable,
and gave evidence of thorough training on the
part of the teachers and careful study on the
part of the pupils. The term which is to open
in May promises a very full attendance, so that
parents and guardians who may wish to place
their children or wards in this nursery of learn
ing and piety, should make early application.
Western University.—At a late Meeting of
the Trustees of this Institution, the Rev. Robert
Elliott Williams was elected Profesdor of the
Latin Language and Literature. Mr. Williams
is one of the most thorough classical scholars in
the county, and a teacher of long and success—
ful experience both in. Asia and. America. He
was for twelve years zonneoted with a large edu
cational institution ia-Northern

shut her out from that privilhge. The Word 'of
God also was the book of her choice, and many-
have remarked the diligenoelrith which she was

DlED—April Ist, at the residence of Wm.
Boyd, in South .Huntington Tp.. Westmoreland
county, Va.„, WILLIE R.' TEGGART, aged 2
years; 1 month; and 7 days.
The deceased was the only child of James F.
and Eleanor Teggart, who'lived in Washington
Tp., Fayette County, Pa. Willie's father and
mother bad both gone- before him to the silent
tomb. His mother died when he -was a few
hours old, and his father about three months
ago. November 18th, 1862, he was adopted into
the family of Mr. Wm. Boyd, where he lived till
death took him.to the bosom of Jesus. He was
an interesting. intelligent, and lovely little boy
—the idol of the family that adopted him. But
God has laid his little body beneath the sod, and
taken his spirit home.
' Weep not, fond friends, look upward,
To him who has, in tender love,
Your iimsb within his beam placed,
That you may in his footsteps haste.

DIED—At the house of Thomas Moore, near
Calcutta, Ohio, on the 21st of Jantiary, 1864,
Miss MARY H. MOORE, in the 40th year of her
age.
She was a native of Beaver County, Pa., and
was brought up in the bounds of Mill Creek
ohuroh, with which sh 6 became connected in early
life by a public p rofession of religion. She
adorned her profession by a walk and Onversa
tion according to godijness. She- was of a sin
gularly mild and gentle disposition. Most of
the time, during the last five years, she spentin
Allegheny City. While dwelling among stran
gers, she sought a home in the house of God, and
_gained the respect and confidence of her pastor
and fellow-members of the Church of Christ.
During the last year of her life, she remained at
the house of her brother, Thomas Moore. She
was calm and hopeful in prospect of death, and
cheerfully gave up the world in hope of a better
inheritance beyond the grave. She had a - desire
to depart, but expressed a willingness patiently
to await _God's time. Her disedse was consump
tion, and as she gradually approached nearer
and nearer her end, her faith grew stronger and
her hope brighter. Her last words were, lam
going homi.' T. M.
the ,A9l, -ef Mrs
JANE, wife of Mr. Charles . Vierning,
Agent P. R. R.,,lrwintown. -
Under most. painful circumstances did God's
holy will appoint this departure. A youthful
wife and mother, after an illness of bat a few
days, has been torn away suddenly and unex
pectedly from the home which she adorned and
blessed. IZlentle, 'dutiful, and affectionate, she
bad endeared herself to all who knew her, and
especially to those who knew her most intimate
ly. Her sincere faith in Jesus, illustrated by
her consistent Christian life, was crowned and
consummated by a most joyful and triutophant.
death. In the midst of great bodily agony, she
constantly gave expression, as the paroxysms of
anguish allowed her to speak, to the most ardent
longings to'depart and be with Jesus. With a
heroic Christian resignation, - she called her
parents, husband, children and friends to her
bedside, and bade them farewell, in words whose
touching beauty and power will not soon pass
from the memory of those who were permitted
to hear them. May the solemn warnings and
holy raptures which made that chamber " privi-:
leged beyond the common walks of life, quite in
the, verge of heaven," bring their blessed fruit
in our lives, and assure an eternal reunion to
the loved and lost ! - M.
DlED—March 26th. 1864, at the residence of
his father, Mr. P. Hough, near West Newton;
Pa., CALVIN HOUGH, in the 16th year of his
age. • •
The deceased was a youth of ,great promise,
of intelligence, and of devoted piety. It was his
father's desire, if called by God, that " he should
blow the Gospel trumpet: ' He was devoted to
his books. He attended the West Newton glut
School, where he was a diligent and obedient
student. The testimony-, of his teacher and
schoolmates is, that he was a.kind, manly, pious
and devoted scholar. He iyas always a favorite
with hie teachers and schoolmates. He carefully
shunned everything that was evil, and was
always ready to do good. At home he was the
counsellor and reprover of his brothers and sie-
Aare.. -He was the son of godly parents, and be
ing trained up in the fear of the Lord, he early
gave ,evidence of Teligious impressions. After
the death of his brother in the army, nearly two
years ago, he manifested deep-convictions of sin
and a concern for the salvation of his soul: In
conversation vrith,his father about religion, be
told him that he.felt he was a great sinner, but
he was "pleading for mercy.' He:was often
found in his closet upon his knees in- prayer.
On his death.bed he expressed a hope of an 'in
terest in Chidst.
But he is gone from earth, we fondly trust, to
the bosom of Jesus. -His spirit has soared aloft
to the Mighty God, who gave it. Weep not, -
friends, weep not for the . tleParted ; he is not
lust, but gone ; before; lost- like the stars of
heaven whieh have faded. into the brighter light
of the-morning : lost I earth but'not to heaven.
Why, fond parents, brotheia and sisters, would
you call him -back - from that
,oeleinial clime,
where all is bright and. lovely ? Strive, rather,
to follow him. Put your trust in the Lord Jesus,
living so- that when called to, die, you may have
"on the .wedding garment, prepared to sittdewri
with " Calry " at the " marriage suppei of the
lamb."
Dear Calvy,",.rest from sin and sorrow,
Death is o'er mut life is won.

DIED—On the 19th day of March, Mr.
GORGE 'ARMEE, orNorth Huntingdon Tp.,
Westmoreland County, Pa. .1 -
Though not in communion with the ChniClinf
Christ. Mr. Larinier gave abundant evidence,
full of consoling assurance to his surviving
friends, that. he had made his peace with God,
through a crucified Redeemer. His loss to the
Church, to whose interests and prosperity he was
earnestly deviited, is a very heavy one, and so
ciety could spare few men so ill. His'life Was a
remarkable and noble exemplification of almost
every virtue which gives it beauty and powerfor
good. Just, truthful, upright ind honorable:he
enjoyed the confidence and respect of the whole
community.. Industrious, temperate, an_eirmy
to all immorality and religion, full of kindhnesi
and charity, anxious for the promotion of every
good and:worthy object, it was impossible not to
trust him implicitly and love him heartily. It is
with a sense of bitter sorrow, of personal loss and
@ bereavement, that we write tit* feeble wOrds of
gratefUl remembrance: May the . widow i s
God" send his ponsolation and snpport into-tbe
desolate home Which mourns- his• loss; ;Sad as
life's treasures are perishing daily around es,
may we all make it our unceasing care to lay, up
treasure where 4, neither moth nor rust doth cor
rupt, and where - thieves break not through nor
steal." M.
DIED—Op the leth of March, lithe! LIZZIE
ROBBINS, of North Huntingdon Tp„ . , :West
moreland County, Pa.'
An attack of typhoid fever, terminating in
eongestion of the lungs, suddenly deprived her
family and society of- one who was a delight and
ornament to both. Of naturally vivacious and
ardent temperathent, gifted, highly, and, oultiva
-MI Carefully and thoroughly;
'to herself a very large circle of friends, who
wore retained by the purity and elevation of a
character whose substantial virtues were more
charming than her gifts of intellect or graoes of
manner. She was, above all, a sincere Chris
tian, and, by-the conaistenoy of her walk and
conversation, conimanded the respect and conk
deuce of the whole Church and of the commu
nity. She was deeply anxious, on her death
bed, for the spiritual welfare of those whom she
loved ; and when two of her nearest and dearest
relatives were admitted to the Church and were
baptized into its communion in her death
chamber, she said, "I have nothing more to
wish for on earth." She bore her last sickness,
and the peculiar sorrows which it brought—too
sacred for the public ear—with inexpresible
sweetness and cheerfulness, and surrendered
finally, at her Master's bidding, a life which
was opening before her brightly and hopefully,
with a Christian's triumphant joy and peace.
• She is not dead, but sleepeth ;
The grave which Jesuit blest,
God's ceaseless vigil keepeth,
And guardi its hallowed rest. . M.
LIED—At Hanrey Hospital, in Madison, Wis
consin, on the morning of January 16th, 1864,
of lung fevei,'• in the 63d year of her age, Mrs.
JANE, wile of Joel Robb, of Seneca, Wis.
Mrs. Robb was bern in Nury, County. Down,
Ireland. •In her infancy she came to this coun
try with Ink parents, Joseph and Letitia Patton,
ant settled in St. Clairsville, Chio,, where she
grew to womanhood under the ministry of Rev.
Joseph Anderson. She was married in . May,
1881, and in the following November settled in
AcConnellsville, Ohio, where, in November,
1882, she was admitted to the communion of the
Presbyterian church, under the ministry of Rev.
J. B. Plumstead, on profession of her faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ.
In - the Spring of 1859, with her family, she
removed. to the, vicinity of Sortie* Wisconsin.
-Here, in September last, there being no Old
&hoot Presbyteriati Our& near her home, she;
with het husband, daughter and others . , united
in; the organization of a church, New-School.
When the war buret upon our beloved country,
her,, lOW Son stepped into the ranks of the
army. He was tiericken with disease and con
fined at 'Harvey 'Hospital, Wis., :whither his
mother went on the 23d of December, 1863, to
nurse and gars for him. On the 7th of January
she was attacked wittv lung fever, but was not
considered dangerously ill until the 15th. Her
husband Was telegraphed, but did net strive un
til after God had called her spirit to enter into
rest. ' •Her remains were taken home and .con
signs& to their narrow resting place, to await the
resurrection of the just. • ,
She leas universally beloved, being modest, re
tiring, and devotedly attached to her family,
Crowning' her life with a devoted Christian
spirit i:lttot only professing, but living the Chris
tian life. Though- called, white on a mission of
love to her son, to die among strangers, she gen
tly breathed her soul away. Her sun eat
"As sets the morning star, which goes
Not down behind the darkened West, nor hides
Obieured among the tempests of the sky,
But melts away into the light of heaven."
The matron of the -hospital, in speaking of her
death, said, "I , never 13a7t any one More per
fectly resigned to the will of God. Although
her desires to see her family were often ex
pressed, she died without a utruggle, sweetly
falling asleep in Jesus."
While a devoted husband, affectionate chil
dren, a large circle of friends, and the ohurch,
mourn her death, it is not without hope ; and
they have the assurance that her departure.from
her friends on earth was to the company of the
redeemed - in heaven, where •
"No tattle word
Startles the sacred host with fear and dread!
The song of Peace, creations morning heard,
Es sung'wherever angel: minstrels.tread
" Let ur depart,
If home like this await the weary soul!
Lookup, thou stricken onel Thy wounded heart
Shall bleed no more at sorrow's atom control."
"Those that be planted in the house of the
Lord shall flourish in the court§ of our God.
They shall bring forth (mit in Old age."

MUSIC IN THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL..
Every Superintendent and Teacher knows the value of
music in the Sunday-School. It is one of its chief attrac
tions and most profitable exercises. If you would have
your Sunday School well attended, MAU rye music ATTTACI
INE. If you would have your Surular-School efficient as a
means of good, MAKE ITS MIMIC EFFICIENT. Song has pecu
liar power to raise the heart and arduse the feelings. AU
in• some measure, at least, understood and enure
' doted, and the problem, okra a difficult one, is how tomake
the music what it should be.
No one means is more rmportant to this end, than a good
accompanying instrument. However exc.dlent the leader
maybe, he metals an instrument to help him; and whore the
leader has not mash confidence in himself, an accompany
insintment fa of yet More value, end:, an instrument
will attract and interest the children; will induce then to
tr 7.• to sing, , nd render ft lunch easier for them to do so. It
wiii add vastly to the impresifivenere of the music; and. in
deed. no great Is its value that no Sunday-School which has
enjoyed the use of a good one, will afterwards be satisfied to
do vthony
A:ltreaculty in the way of the general introduction
of accompaitying faxtrument* in Sabbath-Schtsda has been
the lack of these. Which were both desirable and avallable.
Such an instrument must have good quality of tone, for
this is the first essential; it must have great volume of
power. because it should be sufficient to guide and euttnin
(tireigh not overpower) a chorus of hundreds of soiree; it
most occupy little space, because not many-Sunday- z,...h00l
rooms bare much to spare fcfr such a purpose; it must to
durable, not liable to. get out of order or out of tune;
and lad, (not least, practically,) it must be afforded at a
moderate cost, for few Sunday.fieheols can afford to espand
a very lane sum for an instrument. The melodeon has
failed, chiefly because it lacked power or volume of tone;
the various harmoniums, school , organs, &c., have had mon
power, hit have been deficient in quality of tone, and in
other reepecte.
MASON & HAMLIN; having been long extensively en
gaged in the ntanofacture of melodeons and harmoninme
(for which they have invariably taken the fret preminine at
all industrial mire and exhibitions) have had constant evi
dence of the need of a better instrument, such as hel besot
described, for Sunday-Schools and churches, as well au for
pri , Ate use. The experience of this want led them-to the
'institution of many experiments, looking to such improve.
m.- its, the first important result of which was the intr...duo-
Von by them of the hatroonium several yeats gone. This
instrument wus en improvement upon the melodeon In see
ere' respects. Aiming at still better results, howover, M.
k H. contintmd their experiments, and had the eatiefaction,
something more than a year since, of introducing the
CABINET OMAN,
an instrument Mintier in several. respects to the melodeon
and harmonium, but possessing several very important fm.
,provements eihr these instruments and all others of its gon

The CABINET ORGAN is recommended with confidence
as aimirably suited in all respects to Sunday-Schools and
churches, as well as prlrate use. Some of its prominent
excellences are its pore, round, organ-like tone; its great
volume of tons; Mooting it to the accompanimet of large
nur.ibers of voices; its capacity for expmelon, arising
chitdy. froin the AUTOMATIC BELL9WS SWELL, u new
