The Wer,—The most exalting news of the
week is the barbarous massacre of Union mil
diers at Fort Pillow by Forrest's band of outlaws.
On Tuesday. morning, April 12th, the attack
upon the Fort commenced. Soon after the at
tack, Forrest sent a flag of truce, deinanding the
surrender of the fort and garrison. The flag
?tat; refused. A second flag was afterwards
sent, with the same result. Advantage was
taken of both flags by the rebels, contrary to the
laws of war, to gain new positions,
The fort was in command of Major Booth, of
the 13th Tennessee Cavalry, with four hundred
men of that regiment, and two hundred of the
6th U. S. Heavy Artillery, formerly the Ist Ala
hatna Cavalry (colored). The battle was con
tinued until 3 P. M. when Major . Booth was
i.illed, and Major lra dford took command.
The rebels now came in swarms over our
troops, compelling them to surrender. Imme
.liltely ensued a scene which utterly baffles de
scription. Up to that time few of our men bad
been killed; but, insatiate as fiends, bloodthirsty
es devils incarnate, the Confederates commenced
an indiscriminate butchery of whites and bladlks,
iuolucling those of both colors who had been
previously wounded. Both classes were bayo
neted, ehot, or sabred ; even dead bodies were
horribly mutilated, and children of seven and
eight years, and several negro women, were
killed in cold blood. Soldiers unable to speak
from wounds, were shot dead, and their bodies
rolled down the banks into the river. The dead
end wounded negroes were piled in heaps and
burned; and soon] citizens, who had joined
our forces for protection, were killed or wounded.
The steamer Platte Valley came up about half
past three, and was hailed by the under a
Bag of truce. Men were sent on shore to bury
the dead and take aboard such wounded •as the
rebels had allowed to live. Fifty-seven were
token on board, including eight colored: eight
flied before reaching Cairo. Several guns were
captured by the rebels, some of which were
spiked before falling into their hands. A large
I. , nount of stores was destroyed, or carried away.
The rebels buried alive five negroes, all of
whom were wounded but one, who was forced to
help dig the pits, and was then thrown in and
covered up. Two of the wounded afterwards
worked themselves out of the grave, were brought
up on the Plaue Valley, and are now in the hos
pital at Mound City. The Quartermaster of the
I.2th Tennessee was, while living, nailed to a
board, and thrown Into a burning building.
Many of our wounded were shot in the hospital,
the remainder driven out, and the hospital burn
ed. The morning after the battle, the rebels
wont over the battle-field and shot the negroes
who had not died from previous wounds. Many
who surrendered as prisoners of war were or
okred to fall into line, and were inhumanly shot
down,
The latest account makes the Union loss 50
White troops killed, 100 wounded, and 800 black
troops murdered in cold blood. It Is supposed
that Forrest will next appear in the vicinity of
Memphis. The atrocities perpetrated on the
12th of April will long be remembered, and on
many a field of strife during the approaching
e.mpaign the battle-cry wilt be—. 44 Remember
Port Pillow."
Advisee from Alexandria to the sth, report
that Gan. Banks and his staff had proseednd up
Ole river to Grand Ecore. Ample precautions
had been taken at Alexandria to prevent a sur
prise by the enemy.
On the 12th of April, 400 Texan cavalry at
tacked a camp of 240 Federals at Roseville, on
tho Arkansas River, but were repulsed after a
fight .of four hours, with a loss of 12 killed and a
large number of wounded. Our loss, 5 killed.
In Texas, there is no prospect of any immedi
ate movement, either on the coast or from
Brownsville.
At Pollard, Alabama, a rebel force was con
centrating to operate on the line of railroad to
Pensacola, where Gen. Asboth is in command of
the Federal forces. The most terrible persecu
tions were inflicted on people who tried to evade
the conscription. Men, women and children
were concealed in the swamps. and numbers
were dying of starvation.
From Mississippi we have a report that a large
force of rebels drove our troops in from Big Black
river a week ago, and took several hundred pris
oners.
The U. S. steamer Maple Leaf, near Jackson
ville, Florida, on the Ist of April, struck a rebel
torpedo, which blew off her bow, and.she sunk
in ten minutes. Four of the crew were loot, and
the baggage of two regiments.
An attempt was made, April 9th, to blow up
the U. S. steam frigate Minnesota, at Fortress
Monroe. The damage by the torpedo is said to
have been trifling, though the vessel shook as if
with paralysis, and the crew were tumbled out of
their hammocks. April 17, NB prisoners ar
rived at Fortress Monroe from Richmond.

Congressional.—The Senate has been occu

tion bill, bills prohibiting speculative transac
tions in gold and foreign exchange, donating
claims in Oregon and California, granting lands
to aid in the construction of railroads, for the
collection of taxes in insurrectionary districts,
and with other matters of minor interest.—ln
the House the debate on the expulsion of Mr.
Long continued throughout Tuesday, April 12th,
until a late hour of the night. On the 13th, nei
ther house was in session, having adjourned out
of respect for the memory of John C. Rives,
whose funeral took place upon that day. On the
14th, at the close of a long and acrimonious de
bate (Mr. Colfax having accepted an amendment
censuring Mr. Long, in the place of the resolu
tion to expel), the resolution of censure, declar
ing Mr. Long to be "an unworthy member of
this House," was adopted by a vote of 80 yeas
to 70 nays. A second resolution, requiring that.
the former oue be read by the Speaker to Mr.
Long during the session of the House ' was laid
on the table by a vote of 71 to 69 .— 0 n the 15th'
the House instructed their committee of confer
ence on the Montima Territory bill, to " agree
to no report which authorizes to vote any other
than free white male citizens." A bill was passed
authorizing the establishment of an ocean mail
steamship service to Brazil, touching at St.
Thomas, in the West Indies. A bill was passed
to compel all railroad corporations to carry mails
for such compensation as the law may provide.
—On the 16th, a resolution was adopted, inqui
ring into the expediency of a Military Railroad
from Chattanooga to Cumberland Gap. A re
port, full of valuable information, from the Se
lect Committee on Emigration, was •presented;
with a bill to encourage_ the immigration of the
industrial Classes from Europe.—On the 18th,
the House resolved that it is the imperative duty
of Congress to raise the tax so as largely to in
crease the revenue, and to impose a much higher
rate of duties on imported luxuries. Also, that
the expansion of Bank circulation should be re
pressed by taxing the issue of State banks.
Pennsylvania Legislature.—The Senate, after
lengthy discussion, passed the Apportionment
bill, April 13th.—A long debate took place on
the bill for paying the State interest.—A bill
was passed, repudiating the contract by, which
the interest on State loans was to be paid in gold
or its equivalent, and making the future interest
payable in legal tender notes.—A bill was
warmly discussed, April 14th, providing that
the State shall assume the payment of all local
bounties to soldiers.
The Rouse has been at work upon the Appro-,
priation bill, which passed finally, April 15th ;
and has been discussing the removal of the State
Capital to Philadelphia. It has also been labo
riously considering the-Revenue bill, which will
probably soon be passed. It was warmly de
bated, whether gross or net receipts should be
the b,asis of taxation.
Bills are before the Legislature, repealing the
charter of the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Rail
road Company, and incorporating a Councils
ville and Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. The measure deserves the earnest con
sideration of the citizens of Western Pennsyl
vania.

PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1864.
Governor Brough has issued an order for a
general muster of the militia of Ohio on the 25th
inst., and it is said that during the first week of
May a general call will be made with the view of
putting the militia of the North in the places
held by veterans, who will be thrown forward.
If this indone universally our armies in the field
will be very materially swelled, and the whole
force, a part of which only has heretofore been

Foreign,—The negotiations between Maximil
ian and the Emperor of Austria are stated to
have terminated favorably. He will shortly pro
ceed to Mexico. In the event of the greater part
of the Powers abandoning the Treaty of 1816,
the Courts of London, Rome, Venice, Berlin, Pe
tersburg, Spain and France, have agreed to re
cognize the Emperor of Mexico immediately on
his acception. From Mexico we learn that the
States of New Leon and Coahuila have aoknowl
hdged President Juarez, and were raising large
forces to subdue Vidaurri's rebellion. In Oaxa
ca • Gen. Duaz had 8,000 men, well organized,
under his command, and the French were going
to send Gen. Bazini to attack him. The French
have been driven from the States of Chiopas and
Tabarez, and everywhere the greatest enthusi
asm prevailed to liberate the country from the
detested French yoke. It was reported that the
French had occupied Matamoras without a blow,
landing two reginients.—Two engagements
have occurred in Poland, resulting in favor of

prefer. The King. of Sweden will endeavor to

The Italian chief, Garibaldi, arrived at Malta
on the 22d ultimo, en route for England. The
people crOwded to see him, and held quite a
levee, his leg being propped' up in a chair. He
was expected to reach England on the 2d inst.,
where he would be the guest of Mr. Charles
Seeley, M. 1": On the 16th he is to have a re
ception in London. The time of arrival, in Lon
don, Saturday afternoon, is by the express wish
of Garibaldi himself, in • order that, availing
themselves of the prevailing Saturday half
holiday, as many of the workingmen as possible
may be in attendance to receive hint. The Lon
don papers infer from appearances that the con
templated procession in hone?" of Italy will be
one of the grandest and most imposing spec
tacles witnessed in the metropolis for many years.
The following motion will be made in the Court
of Common Council by Mr. John Richard : That

fording an appropriate opportunity for he recog
nition by the Corporation of London of his long
devotion to the cause of political liberty, his nu
merous sots of self-sacriSce in America and Eu
rope in the service of freedom, and especially of
his labors in preparing the way for the estab
lishment of Italian liberty on the basis of law
and order, and constitutional rights, it is resolv
ed to present him with the freedom of the city in
a casket of the value of one hundred guineas."

Liberal Donations.—Among the moat liberal
contributors to the great Mississippi Valley San-,
itary Fair, to be held at St. Louis, are the fol
lowing Pittaburgh firms, who head the list of the
Committee on iron and steel: Graff, Bennett &
Co., $1,000; Lyon, Shorb & Co., per George D.
Hall. in goods or money, $l,OOO ;lames Wood k
Co., per James Archer, $l,OOO. If all other
branches of trade equal the iron and steel men,
the donations to the Valley Fair will aggregate
an immense sum.
Fall of Stocks.—For some time there has
been a speculation in stocks amounting to almost
a frenzy. New-York was the headquarters of
these operations, but they extended to every
considerable city in the Northern States. Aa
might have been expected, the reaction has
commenced, and many largo operators have been
crushed by the sudden fall. Pittsburgh and Ft.
Wayne Railroad stock, which had been as high
as 144, fell to 85, but afterwards recovered to 95.
The whdle Stock Board is affected by an intense
panic. Gold has again fallen to 170 ; and, as a
matter of course, large transactions in all kinds
of merchandise are very dull. What the general
effect may be on 'the whole country, is yet doubt
ful; but it is most likely that gambling in gold
and stocks has been temporarily suspended.
Washington Insurance Company,—The last
report of this Company states its capital and sur
plus at $582,510.45, which shows an increase of
nearly $60,000 over the same total for last year.
This fact is a telling 'testimonial to the progress
of the Washington. Its capital is $400,000; its
surplus is $182,810. Some idea of the character
and the amount of business done by the Company
maybe gathered from the fact that its premiums
received, for the fiscal year ending January,'
1864, amounted to $210,154, while its unexpired
premiums were only $98,103. This shows that
it does a considerable and successful business on
what-are termed "short risks." Indeed, out of
951 policies maturing during the last two months
of the year, not over fifty were on special haz
ards, upon which there was no loss.
While the Washington is eminently conserva
tive—which is seen in the character of its risks—
it still possesses the energy to do a strong local
business. Thus it exemplifies the great truth
that energetic action is as essential to juocess as
capital. Results justify it policy. Its diri
dends have always been paying ones, to stock
holders. Since its commencement of the parti
cipation system, it has divided among these latter
$lBO,OOO, besides giving three scrip dividends of
60 per cent. each on participation policies, in the
course of the last three 'years. The amount of
its participation dividends for 1863 was over
$50,000, which shows that a large proportion of
the fire business is done on this-plan.

DIED—On February 16th, 1864, in Summit
Township, Butler Co. Pa., Mrs. MARGARET,
wife of James M'Curdy, Esq., in the 80th year
of her age.
Few married persons have lived so long to
gether as she and her surviving husband—about
sixty-one years. Nearly all this time she was
in communion with the Presbyterian church of
Butler ; having, with her husband and brother,
(Robert Thorn,) united with tke church at• its
organization. Both of these have long been
Ruling Elders in the church of Butler. Since
she had the charge of a house, till her death—
more than sixty years—family worship had not
been omitted- morning or evening, except once
or twice in case of sickness ; the mother or, one
of the children conducting the exercises in the
absence of the father. She loved the house of
God, and delighted in religions conversation.
Aa the time of her departure, drew near, she
longed to get away and try the realities of the
other world. And when unable to speak, by the
lifting of het hand she answered in the affirma
tive the questions whether the Lord Jesus was
precious, and Whether she knew that she was
dying. Not a groan or movement of a muscle
indicated that there was any pain or conflict in
death. She leaves a large circle of friends, luta;
band, children, grand-children, and great
grand-children. L. Y.
DIED—In Greene Tp.,Harrison County, 0.,
November 9th,. 1863, M. JAMES JOHNSTON,
in the 71st year of his age.
The subject of this notice was born in Wash
ington County, Pa., on the 12th day of April,
1793. In March, 1818, he was united in mar
riage with Miss Mary Simpson, who still sur
vives him. In early, years he made a profession
of faith in Christ, and united with the congre
gation of Beech Spring, Ohio, then under the
pastoral care - of Revs John Rea, D.D. Through
life he was enabled to maintain a deportment
consistent with his profession. His piety was
sincere, but without display. He lived to see
five of the six. children he left behind, unite
with the church of his choice. •
During his last illness he manifested marked
patience and resignation. Calmly and patiently
he saw and felt the sure coming of death. His
only trust: was in his Redeemer. Thus he passed
through the gates of glory, and entered, we be
lieve, into his heavenly home, to see Jesus as he
is, and to be with him fdrever. His death has
left a sad vacancy, not only in his own stricken
household, but also in an extensive circle of
relatives and in the community. His remains
rest with those of many kindred, in the church
yard of Beech Spring. until that glorious morn
when they shall arise clothed in immortal bloom.
Father, thou haat gone to rest,
We will not weep for thee ;
For thou are now where, oft on earth,
Thy spirit longed to be.
Father, thou art gone to rest,
Thy toils and cares are o'er ;
And sorrow, pain, and suffering now
Shall ne'er distress thee more.
Father, thou art gone to rest,
• And this shall be our prayer:
That, when we reach our journey's end,
Thy glory we may share. q.

DlED—Near Centreville, Butler County, Pa.,
on the 15th of February, 1864, Mr. THOMAS
BIGHAM, a member of the Presbyterian church
of Centreville, aged 82 years, 6 months, and 21
days.
The deceased was born on the 25th of July,
1781, in Adams County, Pa 4 where he spent the
early part of his life. In-1806 he left the home
of his youth and removed to Butler .County,
which was at that time but sparsely setfed, and
scantily supplied with the comforts - and higher
privileges of life. Here he continued, amidst
the privations incident- to a newly-Settled coun
try; making steady advancement_ and preparing
for future enjoyment, until the war commenced
with great Britain in 1812, when, at his coun
try's call, he forsook the peaceful pursuits of
agriculture, and hastened to the scene of mar
tial strife. Having served in that war, and as
sisted in repelling; the threatened danger, he re
turned to the quiet pursuits of domestic life, in
which he eontinited with great comfort and pros
perity till his - death.
During his long life he wail distinguished for
the honesty and i ncorruptible integrity of bie
character; and in all the relations of life, as
citizen, husband, father, and friend, he was
faithful 'and exemplary. As a Christian, his
leading trait was implicit faith in the Gospel,
and firm, humble and entire reliance on the
merits of Christ. He bore' his last sufferings
with great patience, and entire submission to the
Divine will. 'He 'found the Divine grace suffi
cient for him, and his end was peace. He has
left an aged' companion, and numerous descend
ants and friends, to mourn his departure; but
they have the' sweet, consoling reflection to
cheer them, that " their loss is his everlasting
gain."
" Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."
COMMUNICATED.
DIED—On Sabbath morning, March 27th, at
the residence of her son, near Marion, Indiana
County, Pa., Mrs. MARY PARK, aged-nearly
82 years.
Deceased was born April 15th, 1783, near
Greencastle, Franklin County, Fa. Shaine the
third daughter of Rev. James Lang, first pastor
of the Presbyterian church, of Chambersbutrg,
Pa., and thelast remaining member of his fam
ily. She was married on the sth of February,
1807,1 y Rev.'David Denny, to John Park, (who
preceded her to the grave,-August 10th, 18440
and with him removed to Indiana. County, where
she, with her husband, united with the Gilgal
congregatien at. its organization. She had been
in regular attendanoe since, never having -been
_absent from e; communion for fifty-seven years,
and was the 'lttet - member of that organisation.
She Was the !after Mt nine eldiften,
whom survive her, and—except two, one in Ilii
nois, and one in Washington, D.C.—were present
1 around her dying bed to• perform the last sad
office, and emblem her memory with their tears.
1 She left over fifty - grand-children and great
14mnd-children, twelve of whom went to stand
in places of danger in defence of our country.
Two have fallen, and two have been wounded
but are still in the service.
Though her years were more than fourscore,
her heart and affections were young.. She was
cheerful and loved society. She retained her
reason to the last, and breathed out her soul into
the hand of her Redeemer so peacefully and
quietly, that death came like a sweet sleep to
one that is weary.
She has left us, and we realise our loss every
day more sensibly, as we miss her loving smile.
The savor of her piety is still with us, and can
never die. She was faithful in training her
children, and taught us to love one another, and
we love to think of her now in the'prence of the
Saviour she loved and served, clothed in immor
tal youth and beauty, as she tunes her harp to
the sweet melodieti of heaven. ROBERT.

Says Mr. Fay, the distinguished Musical Critic of the New-

other of the Organ kind: "that no such mechanical works
of the kind can be found in Europe."

more than ten years since, MASON ht Hamm were largely
influenced by the confidence that great improvement in such
instruments was possible. It was their plan to accomplish
success in besinees, not by making the lowest priced Warn

their Melodeons, the only instrument made by them for sev

With this instrument, however, they bent every energy to the
production of a better, instituting extensive experiments,
and holding out such inducements as should add to their
own skill and experience the resources of the best inventive
talent In the country which had been occupied in this direc

them of their

in 1855, which was at once teem:dud as so important an im
