Consti tution, A meeting of persons favorable to the adoption of the amendment of the United States Constitution, proposed by the Con vention which met recently in Allegheny, was held in the 2d Presbyterian church of Philadelphia, on Monday evening, May 2d. It was expected that judge Strong, of the Supreme Court, would preside, but owing to circumstances, the meeting was deprived of his presence, and the chair was occupied by ex-Governor Pollock. Addresses favor able to the movement were delivered by Rev. Dr. Junkin, Rev. Pr. Eddy, Rev. Dr. Durbin, Rev. Dr. Bomberger and Rev. Dr. Musgrave. The several speakers represen ted the Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist; Episcopal and German Reformed Churches. The following resolutions were offered, and, after a short debate, were passed unan imously : Resolved, That as civil government is an ordinance of God, springing originally from his authority, protected by his command ments, and dependent upon his favor, it is proper that every such government should, in the terms of its constitution, and in its fundamental laws, expressly recognise His being and Sovereignty, the Divine suprem acy of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the au thority of the Holy Scriptures as the reve lation of his purposes and will. Resolved, 'Chat the United States having been settled and founded by people who from the beginning professed to be Chris tian in their religious convictions and prin ciples, it is the right and privilege of the citizens of the country to ask for such al terations or amendments of the Constitu tion as may be necessary to express its Christian character. Resolved, That such amdndments may be made without violating the reasonable re ligious preferences, or touching upon the proper political franchises of any class of citizens. Resolveck That this meeting cordially ap proves of the movement recently inaugura, ted by a Convention hold in Allegheny city, for the purpose of devising measures to se cure such amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and recommends the circulation of memorials to Congress on this subject. Resolved, That a committee of twenty, of which Mr. Samuel Agnew is chairman, be appointed to provide such memorials, and have charge of their circulation in this city and the vicinity, with authority to have them duly presented to our National Legis lature. The meeting was dismissed by the Rev. Dr. Stockton, of the Independent Church, who offered up a fervent prayer in behalf of the objects designed by the meeting. Vaileties. The beer-houses in London, if placed side by side, would make a row thirty-nine miles in length. The Sleek of sugar in the British ware houses has been rapidly increasing for the last three years, and is greater now than it ever was before. An English writer says that fathers are usually harsh critics of their boys' mental powers, as mothers are of their daughters' powers of housekeeping. llartio - rd, one of the backtowns in Maine, without a lawyer, physician, or liquor-agent within its borders, has not only filled all her quotas, but has a surplus for another call. A French physician recommends essence of turpentine as a specific for nervous head ache and hemicrania; even when accompa nied by vertigo, to which females are espe cially subject. la the heart of the city of London there is a church where to this day, in -pursu ance of some old 'bequest, on every Easter Tuesday the rector preaches what is called the 'f Flower Sermon," which is always about flowers; and the people who come to hear it bring bouquets of flowers in their hands. Before the Revolution of 1739,. Paris reckoned 10,000 priests and monks for 500,000 inhabitants. Now, the capital has a population of 1,900,000, and does not possess 900 priests. Some parishes, with 30,000 to 40,000 inhabitants, have but a single church, with four or five priests to minister in connection with it. There aro three things easily raised and harvested, for which the farmers may de pend upon it there will be an enormous de mand and high prices ... paid during the war. We refer to potatoes, beans, and onions. The farmers could not do a better thing for themselves and their countrymen than to plant these vegetables very exten sively. If it appears, as the Spring ad vances, that the wheat crop is likely to be short, and that fruit will be scarce, onions, potatoes and beans must be had to fill the VROCUUM. The Cotton Factories of the World.—Frairce has 2,600 cotton factories, employing 274,- 830 hands, running 5,000,0 0 0 spindles, and using 140,000,000 pounds of cotton The United States has only 90 factories, em ploying only 101,000 hands; but they run 6,000,000 spindles, and. use 428,719,000 pounds of cotton, Great Britain employs 150,00' hands in 8,046 factories, • 21,000,000 spindles, using 990,000,000 pounds of cotton ; only a little more than twice the amount used in the ninety Amer ican factories. Lurrtnt Baas, The War.—For the past week the public has looked with trembling anxiety for intelligence from Virginia ; and though details thus far are meagre, it is probable that one of the decisive battles of the war has been, or is about to be fought, between the two armies that have been for three years arrayed against each other. The Army of the Potomac began its forward movement on Monday, May 21 The crossing of the Rapidan was effected without opposition on Tuesday and Wednesday. The army rested on and around the old battle-field of Chancellors vine. West Point, at the head of York river, was also occupied by our forces on Monday. Another force under Gen. Butler landed successfully at City Point, on the South bank of Tames river, ten miles from Peteriburg, (where Beauregard was reported to be with 80,000 men,) and thirty three miles from Richmond. On Thursday morning, about daylight, the ar my was in motion from Chanoellorsville south westwardly. In a few hours it was evident that the enemy was in strong force in the neighbor hood, and about 11 o'clock the line of battle was formed; soon after, skirmishing commenced in front. Two Divisions were ordered forward, one on each aide of the turnpike, which, advan cing three-quarters of a mile, came upon the rebels in a strong position, on a thickly-wooded ridge. A severe fight ensued, our men holding their ground for more than an hour against greatly superior numbers, but being gradually forced back. Reinforcements coming up, the enemy, after aAsevere contest, was finally driven from this part of the field, which was about the centre of our line. About 8 P. M., after the close of the contest in the centre, the rebels massed a force. with the evident design of hurling it against our left. Preparations were rapidly made to receive them, and for two hours the most furious musket-fight raged that has ever occurred in the history of the Army of the Potomac. The dense timber rendered the use of.artillery impossible. In this fight the brave Gen. Alexander Hays, of Pitts burgh, was killed, at the head of his command, gallantly contending against a superior force. The result of this first day's fight was, that Lee's two attempts to cut our army in two were foiled, though less than half of our force was in action. During the night every corps was brought to its proper position. Our loss in this day's battles is variously estimated from one thousand to four thousand. On Friday the battle was opened by an attack at 4.30 A. M., upon our right and centre. The attack was successfully repulsed, and the enemy forced back. At 6 A. M. Gen. Hancock ad vanced, and after an obstinate contest of an hour's duration, succeeded in driving the rebels from their breastworks. Several hundred pris oners were taken by our troops in this attack. At 8.30 an advance was made by our right and centre, but a marsh intervening, they were obliged to retire. About 11 A. M. the enemy made a furious assault upon Hancock's line, which was not repelled until 121 o'clock. Our loss in this contest was very great. Abut this time Burnside bad succeeded in placing all of his troops in position, securing a continuous battle front. At 4.30 P. M., the enemy returned to the attack.- upon our left, now supported by Burnside. Mott's and Stevens' divisions fell back in some confusion. Crawford's division suffered severely; the Seventh Penn'a, Reserves was captured almost in a body. There was im minent danger of a general break; but Carroll's brigade took the enemy by the flank,' and they retired after great slaughter. Gen. Wadsworth was killed in Friday's battle. • " Towards dark the enemy- fell upon our ex treme right. Seymour's and part of Shaler's brigades were captured almost . wholly. Gen. Sedgwiok, by personal exposure and energy, succeeded in averting the danger, which at one time appeared to threaten our whole army from this skilful move of the enemy. During the night our : positions were changed, our right was contracted, and strongly entrenched before morning. On Friday night the enemy commenced falling back, and on Saturday our army commenced the pursuit. The rebels are reported to be in full retreat in the direct road for Richmond. Gen. Hancock passed Spottsylvania, Court House at daylight, Sabbath morning, Bth inst. Our head quarters at noon, Sabbath, were twenty miles South of the battle-field. We occupied Fred ericksburg, which was made the depot for our wounded. Our losses were estimated by the Medical Di rector of the Army of the Potomac at nearly 12,000, as follows: 1,200 to 1,500 killed, 8,000 wounded, and the remainder missing. The President, on Sabbath, May Bth, issued a recommendation that all patriots unite in thanksgiving to Almighty God, acknowledging our reliance upon him without whom all human efforts are vain. There are rumors of another battle on. Sunday, .at Spottsylvania, in which Lee was again re pulsed. A later report states that there was no sign of the main rebel army, either on our flank or front. The advance of the army would be continued on Monday. In the terrific contests of Thursday and Fri day, many Pennsylvania regiments suffered se verely. The Pennsylvania Reserves added, by their bravery and gallant bearing, to their al ready high reputation. Our success in the whole movement is attributable, under Provi dence, to Gen. Grant's superior strategy. Meantime Gen. Butler's expedition on the south aide of the James, is reported to be a deci ded success. Details are wanting, but it has been officially announced that a portion of the Petersburg and Richmond Railroad had been destioyed, breaking the connection between Richmond and the South-east. There bad been some severe fighting, in which Gen. Butler was successful. On Friday the U. S. gunboat Com. Jones, near Turkey Bend, James river, was blown up by a torpedo. All on board but one were either killed or wounded. The rebel who fired the torpedo was shot. • From Chattanooga we learn that Sherman commenced an advance on the 2d inst.. He •passed Tunnel Hill, contrary to- expectation, without meeting opposition. IL is reported that Gen. Thomas occupied Dalton, Ga., on Monday, May Bth—the enemy retiring as our army ad yanced. Details have not been received. From Red River each additional item of intel ligence renders the campaign more disastrous, and confirms the former reports of bad general ship and incompetence on the part of General Banks, who has.bne t n `removed by Lieut. General Grant. On the first day of the battles, a column of 80,000 was so disposed as to be shamefully routed by less than half their number. On the second day Gen. Smith whipped the rebels, drove them six miles, and was in hot pursuit, when Gen. Banks ordered his retreat. Smith refused to obey the reiterated order, and Banks came in person to enforce the retreat. General Smith, with tears in his eyes, was compelled, though victorious, to retreat, leaving •his brave wounded to the tender mercies of the rebels. Some hours afterwards the rebels sent a flag of truce, asking permission to bury their dead, when to their surprise they found our arty re treating and commenced a pursuit. .other inci dents of the campaign, equally disgraceful, are narrated, making a record which every loyal man must blush to read._The gunboat Eastport, one of the best on the Wstern waters, had to be abandimed; and with a number of transports, was blown up. Gen. Steele, is reported to have lost the larger part of his artillery and wagon train. Steele is at. Little Rock, Banks at Alexan dria. There is a rumor to the effect that the rebel Gen. Taylor has been repulsed in an attack upon Alexandria. Gen. Canby has superseded Gen. Banks. It is reported that Forrest has been defeated, near Bolivar ' Tenn., on the 2d inst., after a se vere fight of two hours with Col. Barge, 2d N. Y. cavalry. The rebel ram at Plymouth which destroyed our gunboat, has been in its turn destroyed and sunk by the 11. S. steamer Sassacus. This in telligence will be received with joy. LATEST.—As we go to press, a telegram, which we give for what it may be worth, is received, announcing the capture of Fort Darling, seven miles from Richmond, on the James River, by Gen. Butler, who is also represented as running a race with Grant for Richmond. Fort Darling, it will be remembered, was the obstacle that pre vented our gunboats, two years ago, from reach ing the rebel capital. (lon. Sedgwick is reported killed. 'We also learn from a late dispatch to Evening Chronicle that Gen. Hancock was forced back to ward Spottsylvania Cl. H., until Burnside came up to his support. On Sunday the battle was .re newed, and the rebels were driven to the Po river. It was supposed that Lee would make a stand on the South Anna. • Congressional.—ln the Senate, May 4, it was 'resolved that a quorum shall consist of a majority of the Senators duly chosen, and that if the election of President 'devolves upon the House, the votes of a majority of the States rep resented shall elect the President. PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1864 In the House, May 3d, a bill was passed unan imously, 135 yeas, increasing the pay of pri vates to $16.00 a month, and that of non-com missioned officers iu proportion. House con curred in Senate amendment appropriating four teen millions for the purchase, repairs, and com pletion of vessels for the Navy, and for river service. May 4, the bill for the reconstruction of overthrown State Governments was passed. May 6, a bill passed appropriating $15,000,000, to refund the expenses of States that had called out troops to repel rebel raids. Pennsylvania Legislature.--The Legislature of Pennsylvania adjourned on Thursday night, May 6th. Its closing sessions were continued to late hours, owing to the press of business at the last. The Apportionment, Appropriation, Revenue, and Military bills received the greatest share of attention ; whilst many private bills were allowed to lie over to the adjourned ses sion. That the Legislature has been indus trious may be inferred from the'fact that in the Senate 1,206, and in the House 1,656 bilis were road in place. General—The following were the prices in Richmond, April 28th : Flour, $350 per bbl. Corn, $5O per bushel. Corn Meal, $1 per lb. Boots, $3OO per pair. Whisky, $l5O per gallon. Calico, $l6 yer yard. Sugar, $l5 per lb. Coffee, $lB per lb. Greenbacks, $lB. Gold, $2B for $l. The pay of a rebel soldier is $ll a month ; equivalent to about sixty cents of Federal money, or forty cents in gold. The daily ration of a Confederate soldier in the field is a quarter of a pound of meat ! The total amount of subscriptions to- the 10-40 loan to May Bth, is $44,606,100. The balloon service, which was at one time so prominent a feature in the arrangements of the Army of the Potomac, has been dispensed with altogether, being found to be of little or no value. Gov. Curtin and Surgeon-General King have gone to the battle-fteld, to attend. to the wants and relieve the sufferings of Pennsylvania wounded men. A great female bread riot occurred in Savan nah, Georgia, April 17th. The women collected in a body, with arms, and' marched the streets in a procession, demanding bread,, and seizing food wherever it could be found. den. ¯ons has caused considerable ex citement in St. Louis by issuing an order de signed to compel the men who are on a "strike," to resume work. It is said that Gov. Seymour will shortly call out the militia of New-Tork for at least three months' service. Foreign.—An Austrian squadron of five ships has sailed for the German Ocean. There is nothing new in the situation of Denmark. A Sikakspearian tercentenary, banquet and dramatic performance was moat unaccountably prohibited in Paris by the imperial authority; and at the last moment the interdict was as un accountably removed. The affair occasioned no little comment. The announcement that Laird's Rams were re ally ordered by the Viceroy of Egypt, proves to be, as might be expected, untrue. The real. Viceroy was Jeff. Davis. The great sensation in England is the abrupt departure of. Garibaldi, which was announced for April 25th, defeating numerous appointments he had made to meet the people in various places. The impression was general that he had been re quired to leave, out of subserviency to the wishes of Louis Napoleon; and the popular indignation was extreme. The House Rusolution on the Mexican ques tion has been a surprise to Europe. 'The Gov ernment organs in Paris treat it as of no moment; but the Liberal papers regard it as a serious complication. f,ocal #ntelligtittt. Ballou's Magazine, for June, for sale by Henry Miner.

The first regiment, furnished with a repast was the 24th Ohio. Since that day its labors have been unremitting. For this work the Committee has received in cash, from various sources, $21,320.29, and $3,670 in pro visions, making a total of $24,990.29. In addi tion to this the Committee has given a arge amount of personal attention to this matter, very often depriving themselves of sleep that the sol diers might not pass through this city hungry. Some time ago it was.found necessary to pro vide temporary lodging for sick and wounded soldiers unable to pursue their journey, and also for those destitute of means and without proper papers for securing transportation. Great re lief and much aid have been given to many in this way. lEowevtr, last week, larger and more commodious rooms were compteted, which were opened last Thursday evening; with prayer by Rev. Herrick Johnson, an address by F. R. Bru not, Esq., and the singing of Oliver Wendell Holmes' Army Hymn, and patriotic songs. The rooms appropriated to this laaable pur pose are in the second, third and fourth stories of one of the large buildings on Liberty Street, opposite the Central depot: They are neatly and tastefully fitted up, with every convenience for sick soldiers. There are a dining room, kitchen, sitting rooir and sleeping apartments. Here soldiers—sick and weary—can at all times, when passing through the city, find a quiet resting place—in a word, 4. iostE. The Craig Microscope.—One of the modern means of entertainment and instruction in the domain of nature is the Microscope. The best instrument for general use which we have seen, is 'the Craig Miitoscope. This beautiful and or namental instrument renders the blood, pus, and milk globules, and cancer cells, as well as the animalculm of stagnant water, distinctly visible; shows the tubular structure of hair ; the circula tion of the blood in the web of a frog's foot; and opens up the minutiT of creation to the view of the astonished beholder, " where the unassisted sight no beauty sees."• It furnishes an endless source • of home amusement and instruction to every one, especially to the young. As a Gift or Present to a friend or child, it is unsurpassed, being elegant, instructive, amusing and cheap. There is no other Lens made like this. It magnifies about 100 diameters or 10,000 times, and, owing to its simplicity, it is invaluable 'for physicians, scientific men, students and schools; and for every one who is a lover of the beautiful things of nature; for it, opens up an unseen kingdom to the view of the inquiring mind. It is amusing, instructive and useful. • This Microscope, in brass, is sent by mail,. postage paid, for $2.25; or with six beat?tiful Mounted Objects for $3; or with 24- Objects f6r $5; or with 48 Objects for SS—postage paid.

Though young, she connected herself with the Church in December of 1862. We regret that the Church has lost a young, but worthy mem ber; parents, an affectionate daughter; sister and brothers, a loved one ; the Sabbath School, a beloved classmate ; and the society of the young, a lovely one. May our loss be her immortal, gain. May we—father, mother, sister brothers, Sabbath School scholars, and society of the young—be so unspeakably happy as ,to meet her in, another and. better world, where parting will be no more. According to the language of the hymn she gave to be sung, the last time she met with us in the social prayer meetings " Come, Christian brethren, ere we part, Join ever voice and every heart: One,solemn hymn to God we raise— One final song of grateful praise. "Christians, we here may meet no more, But there is yet a happier shore; And there, released from toil and pain, \Dear brethren, we shall meet again." May we all take heed to that solemn warning, "Be ye also ready." Her sun went down, as it were, in the morning. DlED—March 21st, at the residence of hei son, Wm. B: Herriott, Esq., in the city of Pitts burgh, Mrs. -REBECCA RRRIOTT, of Bridge ville, Upper St. Clair Tp., in . the 63d year of her age. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. William Brice, who was among the early settlers in West ern Pennsylvania, and the widow of the late John Herriott, who was for twelve years before his decease a highly esteemed and efficient Ruling Elder of the Presbyterian church of Bethany, of which Mrs. H. was for the last forty-two years a consistent and worthy mem ber. The last nine weeks of her life she was with her lion and daughter-in-law, in the city of Pittsburgh, where she was faithfully and tender ly nursed. She bore her last illness with great patience and resignation. The consolations of religion, and the sustaining grace of God, were in a comfortable 'degree granted her. She was cheered and supported as she went down into the dark valley, by the hope of a better resur rection, having a desire to " depart and be with Christ, which is far better." She was kind and affectionate in the various relations of daughter, wife, sister,, mother, and friend. In the full possession and clear exercise of her mental powers, she calmly, and without a strag gle, closed her eyes in death. Her corpse was brought to her house,. in Bridgeville, where the funeral service was performed, and then conveyed to Bethany church, where sleeps thneust of her father, mother, husband, and other relatives. She is gone—friends mourn ; but. they. " sor row . not as those 'without-hope." "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." ' W. J.

C., aged 27 years; eldest son of Samuel and Nancy Mar shall. No one who knew Mr. Marshall ever doubted the genuineness of his piety. He was a living epistle, known and read of all men. Whether, at home or abroad, ,he reflected the image of his Master, causidg all to ex claim, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile. His modest and retiring disposition would naturally have prompted him to have re mained amid the hallowed scenes of home, in stead of going to the field of strife. He heard his country's call, and entered the army from a sense of duty. Nobly did he perform his duty, not only as a patriot, but as a Christian. The Chaplain testified that he was one on whom he could always depend. ' He fell, severely wounded, at the battle of Fredericksburg.,ln the midst of his sufferings in the hospital, wrote to his Mend of the great comfort be had in reading the Scriptures, and adds,." What a blessed thing it is to have a hope in Christ in an hour like this !" After re maining.in the hospital for a long time, he so far recovered his strength as to be able to be brought to die in the home of his childhood, sur rounded by his friends. A short time before he died, he was asked by the writer if he"-still had clear comforting views in regard to his fu ture prospects. He replied : " I not only feel comfortable and happy, but I enjoy . a peace that cannot be described; it must be felt to be real ized." Thus he passed away in the triumphs of faith and in the hope of a blessed immortality. " Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillow's are ; While on his breast I lean my head, ,And breathe my life out sweetly there."

Subscriptions to these. Bonds aro re ceived in United States notes or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not less than ten nor more than forty years from their date, and until their redemp tion FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST. WILL BE PAID IN COIN, On Bonds of not over One Hundred Dollars, annually, and oo all other Bonds, and annually. The interest is payable on the first daysof March and Sep tember in each year. The semi-sunned Coupons are payable at those dates, and the annual Coupons on the 50 and 100 dollar Bonds are payable on the first of March. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are recorded on the books of the 11. S. Treasurer, and can be -transferred only on the owner's order. Oonpon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for Commercial uses. Registered Bonds will be issued of the denominations of Fifty Dollars ($5O), Ono Hundred Dollars ($100), Five Hun dred Dollars ($500), One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), Piro Thousand Dollars ($5,000), and Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000); and Coupon Bonds of the denominations of Fifty Dollars ($5O), One Hundred Dollars (MO), Five Hundred Dollars ($500), and One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw Interest from Idarch let, by paying the ac crued interest in coin (or In United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premium,) or, receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and deposit. • ha these Bonds are exempt from municipal or State taxa• tiou, their value la increased from one to three per cent, per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. • At the. Preeent rate of premium on gold:they pay over eight per cent. interest in currency, and are of equal cauvo. nience a a permanent or temporary investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great inducements to lenders as the various descriptions of 17. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communities onllrla pledged for payment, while ihr the debts of the United States the whole property of the country is holden to secure .the Payment of both principal and Interest in coin. These )sonde may be subscribed for in sums from $5O up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest cap italist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have the bisneat of the interest. The fact that all duties oa importe ate payable in specie, furnishes a fund for like payment of interest on ail Govern- "went Bonds' -largely in excess of thh wants of the treasury for this purpose.
