Meeting for Amendment of the IJ. S. 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.

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.

than to plant these vegetables very exten

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

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.

Richmond, April 28th : Flour, $350 per bbl.

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.

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.

Opening of the Soldier's Home.—The Pitts
burgh Subsistence Committee, which has sup
plied so many thousands of soldiers with plentiful
meals, began - its labors on Sabbath morning,
July 25, 1561. 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. •

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.
DlED—Near Livermore, indiana County, Pa.,
June 13th, 1868, Sergeant JAMES CRAIG
MARSHALL, wounded at Fredericksburg, mem
ber of Co. E, 11th Reg't P. R. 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."

These Bonds are' issued ander the Act of Congrose of
March schosai, which provides that in lieu of so much of
the loan authorized by the Act of March 3d, 1863, to which
this is supplementary, the Secretary of the Treasury is au
thorized to borrow from time to time, on the credit of the
United States, not exceeding TWO HpNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS during the current fiscal year, and to prepare
and issue therefor Coupon and Registered Bonds of the
United States; and all Bonds issued , under this Act shall be
EXEMPT FROM TA7:I,TION by or under-any State or
municipal authority. 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.
Upon the receipt of subscriptions a certificate of deposit
therefor, in duplicate, will be issued, the original of which
will be forwarded by the subicriber to the Secretary of the
Treasury., at Washington, with a letter dating the kind
inegletered or Coupon) and the denominations of bonds re-

Upon the receipt of the original certificate' at the Treas
ury. Department, the Bowie ernbscribed for will be transmit

but.the religion of Christ to the heart. In this aim, Gocrhas
greatly blessed them. During its entire history the favor of
the Holy Spirit has rested upon it.
Steubenville Is remarkable for the beauty and healthful
