Soak limerita.—A recent - letter from Buenos Ayres says that the friends of the .A.tnerioan Bible Society are active in fur thering the circulation of the Scriptures in that country.

The Waihington Chronicle announces that the .finishing touches to the exterior of the magnificent dome of our Capitol have been given. It is now completed, and stands a proud monument to American skill and mechanism. The height of the dome from the ground , on the east front, is 287 feet, and aout 370 feet from Pennsylvania Avenue. A Profitable Offiee.—ln an official docu ment the following sums are given as the income of the Collector of the port of New York : Salary for the year 1863, $6,340 00 Resed from fines, penalties, 86e., 24,964.59 Commissions from State officers, 3,539 26 Total pay for one year, ' $34,843 85 In addition to this, the Collector re ceived one-sixth of the suits for ferfeiture commenced during the year—in the event that they are decided in favor of the gov ernment.. The additional amount from this service will probably reach s3ctisoo—inak ing a total for the year's services of $60,000: Southern Poar.—The Richmond Enquirer, of a late date, has a long article upon " The Unemployed Poor" of Virginia.' It notes the fact that every city and community has its orphans and widows to support, and a large debt already incurred for this par pose--a burden which cannot be laid down when the war closes. It estimates the losses of Virginia already at thirty thousand men, each of whom leates two dependent persons or , sixty thousand in all, which is six per cent. of the white population of the State. In Richmond alone, there are forty five hundred persons dependent on public charity—these require an expenditure of about $500,000 per annum. The German Element in Chicago.—The Chicago correspondent of the Boston Post says: " Sunday in Chicago is not much differ ent from Sunday in Boston.. There are more stores open here, and you can pur chase almost anything you want to-day as well as you could yesterday. The horse cars run here also, to carry people to church or wherever they care to go. I find the coming of the Sabbath a great relief, be cause of the absence of that dense cloud of smoke from steamers and manufactories which hangs over the place all through the secular part of the week. The churches here are less in number than the Boston average, and perhaps there is a greater pro portion of the people who stay at home. This is due, greatly, no doubt, to the Ger man "leaven which "leavens the whole lump" of Western society. I should not be surprised to learn that there are more Germans than Americans in Chicago; per haps it is already an admitted fact that certainly one-half the signs we see upon the buildings display German names, and ten German families comprise as large a number of souls as the same number of American. It is the Germans who do the work here." The followers of . Joe Smith have got a strong foothold in the city of London, which they make a sort of European headquarters. They have lately been holding a series of meetings tliere under the auspices of the missionaries, Brigham Young, Jr., and Or son Pratt. Young Brigham went out the past Spring, and the London Mormons have chosen him as European president, and his father as president of the church of the lat ter day saints all over the world. ' The two great parties into which our country is divided, have now held their National Conven tions, adopted their Platforms, and nominated their respective candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. The Union National Con vention met at Baltimore, June 7th, 1864, and nominated Abraham Lincoln for re6lection as President, and Andrew Johnson for Vice Presi dent. The Democratic National Convention met at Chioago, August 29th, 1864, and nominated George B. McClellan for President, and George H. Pendleton for Vice President. As matters of public) interest we give the resolutions adopted by the Conventions respectively, announcing the prinoiples and policy , of these two great parties : .A. M. Wallingford J. P. Crawford Resolved, That it is the highest duty of. every American citizen to maintain against all their enemies the integrity of the Union, and, the par amount authority of the Constitution and laws of the United States; and, that, laying aside all differences of political opinions, we pledge our selves as Union men, animated by a common sentiment, and aiming at, a common object, to do everything in our power to aid the Government in quelling . by force of arms the rebellion now raging against its authority, and in bringing to the punishment due to their crimes the rebels and traitors arrayed against it. Resolved, That we approve the determination of the Government of the United States not to compromise with the rebels, nor to offer any terms of peace except such as may be based up on an " unconditional surrender" of their hos tility, and a return to their just allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that we call - upon the Government to maintain this position, and to prosecute the war with the Utmost possible vigor to the complete , suppression of the rebellion ; in full reliance upon the self sacrifice, the patriotism, the heroic valor, and the undying devotion of the Anierican people to their country and its free institutions: 'Resolved, That as slavery was the cause, and now constitutes the strength of this rebellion, and as it must be always and everywhere hos tile to the principles of republican government, justice and the national safety demand its utter and complete extirpation from the soil of the re public, and that we uphold and maintain the acts and proclamations by which the Government in its own defence, has aimed a death blow at this gigantic evil. We are in favor, furthermere, of suoh an amendment to the Constitution, to be made by the people in conformity with its pro visions, as shall terminate and forever prohibit the existence of slvavery within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States. Resolved, That the thanks of the American people are due to the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy, who have periled their lives in defence of the country, and in vindication of the honor of the flag ;, that the nation owes to them some permanent recognition of their patriotism and valor, and ample and permanent provision fot . those of their survivors who have received disabling and honorable wounds in the service of the country; and that the memories of those who have fallen in-its defence shall be held in grateful and everlasting remembrance. Resolved, That - we approve and applaud the practical wisdom, the unselfish patriotism, and un swerving fidelity to the Constitution and the prin ciples of American liberty, with which Abraham Lincoln has discharged, under circumstances of unparalleled difficulty, the great duties and re sponsibilities of the Presidential office ; that we approve and indorse, as demanded by the emer gency and essential to the preservation of the dation, and as within the Constitution, the meas ' ures and acts which he has-adopted to defend the nation against its open and secret foes ;'that we approve especially the Proclamation of Emanci pation, and the employment as Union soldiers, or men heretofore held in slavery; and that we have full confidence in his determination to carry these and all other constitutional measures es sential to the salvation of the country, into full and complete effect. Resolved, That we deem it essential to the gen eral welfare, that harmony should prevail in the national councils, and we regard as worthy of publio confidence and official trust those only who cordially indorse the principles proclaimed in these resolutions, and which should character ize the administration of the Government. Resolved, That the Government owes to all men employed in its armies, without regard to distinction of color, the full . protection of the laws of war, and that any violation of these laws or of the usages of civilized nations in time of war by the rebels now in arms, should be made the subject of full and prompt redress. Resolved, That the' foreign immigration which in the past has added so mueh to the Wealth and development of resources and increase of power this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all raions, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. , Resolved, That we are in favor of the speedy construction of the railroad to.the Pacific. Resolved, That the national faith, pledged for the redemption of the public debt, must be kept inviolate ; -and that for this purpose we rectom mend economy and rigid responsibility in the Varieties. The Two Platforms. THE BALTIMORE PLATFORM" PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDA V. SEPTEMBER 7. 1864. publio expenditure and a vigorous and just sys tem of taxation ; that it is the duty of every loyal State to sustain the credit and promote the use of the national currency. Resolved, That we approve the position taken by the Government that the people of the United States have never regarded with indifference the al t :rapt of any European Power to overthrow by force, or to supplant by fraud, the institutions of any republican government on the Western Con tinent, and that they view with extremejealonsy, as menacing to the peace and independence of this our country, the efforts of any such Power to obtain new footholds for monarchical govern ments, sustained by a foreign military force, in near proximity to the United States. Tile CHICAGO PLATFORM Resolved, That in the future, as in the past, we will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union under the Constitution as the only solid foundation of our strength, security and happi ness as a people, and as a framework of govern ment equally conducive to the welfare and pros perity of all the States; both Northern and South ern. Resolved, That this Convention does explicitly deolare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretence of a military necessity or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitu tion itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trod den down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare, demand that im mediate efforts be male for a cessation of hostil ities, with a view to an ultimate Convention of all the States, or other peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest practicable moment peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States. Resolved, That the direct: interference of the military authority of the. United. States in the re cent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Mis souri and Delawbre, was a shameful violation of the Constitution, and the repetition of such acts in the approaching election will be held as revo lutionary, and resisted with all the means and power under our control. Resolved, That the aim and object of the Dem ocratic party. is to preserve the Federal Union and the rights of the States unimpaired;,and they hereby declare that they consider the Ad ministrative usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers not granted by the Constitu tion, the subversion of the civil by military law in States not, in insurrection, the arbitrary mili tary arrest, imprisonment, trial and sentence of American citizens in States. where civil law exists in full force, the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press, the denial of the right of asylum, the open and avowed disregard of State rights, the employment of unusual test•oaths, and the interference with and denial of the right of the people to bear arms, as calculated to prevent a restoration of•the Union and the perpetuation of a government deriving its just nowere from the consent of the governed. Resolved, That the shameful disregard of the• Administration to its duty in respect to our fel low-citizens-who are now and long have been prisoners of war in a suffering condition, de serves the severest, reprobation, on the score alike of public interest and common humanity. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Democratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to the soldiery of our army, who are and have been in the field under the flag of our country ; and, in the event of our obtaining power, they will re ceive all the care and protection, regard and kindness, that the bravee - soldiers of the Republic have so nobly earned. • Presbyterial.

(urrent The War.—The centre of greatest interest during the past week has been Atlanta, intelli gence of the capture of which by Gen. Sherman has been reported through both Union and rebel sources of information. As yet we are without the details of this most important and auspicious event, of which, however, no doUbt is entertain ed. Secretary Stanton officially announces that intelligence has been received at the War De partment that Gen. Sherman's advance entered Atlanta about noon on Friday, Sept. 2d. Major Gen. Slocum dispatches that " Sherman has ta ken Atlanta: the 20th corps occupies the city; the main army is on the Macon road, near East Point• ' a battle was fought near that point, in which Gen. Sherman was successful." An un official report states that the rebel army was cut in two near East Point, with very heavy loss to the enemy ; Gen. Hardee was killed; our loss not known. Gen. Grant telegraphs that on Friday evening,_ before the dispatches announcing the capture of Atlanta. had been received in the Union army, the 'rebel pickets-had shouted over to our men that Sherman had whipped Hood, and that our troops were in Atlanta. The South-Western telegraphio line being down from the effects of a heavy storm, and al so having been brokealty Wheeler's. rebel caval ry in some places, no later interi.genoe has been received. The damage done to the railroad by the rebel raiders will be speedily repaired, Wheel er having retreated, and Goa. Rosseau being in active pursuit. In an engagement with Wheel er, L rebel Gen. Kelley was mortally wounded and is in our hands. • It is believed in official circles that the im portance of Sherman's: success is not yet fully developed, that he , not only occupies Atlanta, but has inflicted crwibing defeat upon llood'a army, and now occupies East Point, the strong hold in the tear of Atlanta, to whieh' it. was sup posed Hoot} would retreat if compelled to evacu ate the city. But for reliable intelligence we must..await the arrivid of official details. Gen. Canby's offioial report of the capture of Fort Morgan has been received. It appears that Admiral Farragut and Gen. Granger so arranged their vessels and hattelies as to invest the Fort anothree sides, and to envelop it with such a ter rible raking fire that the guns of the fort could not be worked. The rebels stood the fire for ten or twelve hours, and then surrendered uncondi tionally. The prisoners numbered six hundred, including Brig. Gen. Paige and two Colonels. Sixty guns were takenin the fort, and also much material, though the rebels had destroyed con siderable, and had spiked the guns. Our loss was but one man killed and seven wounded. The enthusiasm of the sailors at this new suc cess of Farragut is said to be indescribable. The bombardment. of Fort Morgan is described by eye-witnesses as having been terrific. The bursting of heavy shells in and over the fort was constant, averaging about one per minute. The captured ram, Tennessee, did good service in this action. It does not appear that the rebels had any hope of being able to resist the attack of our forces. Admiral. Farragut comments se verely, in his efficial dispatches, upon the con duct of Gen. Paige. Ile says; "The whole condurt of the officers of Forts Gaines and Morgan presents such a striking contrast in moral principle, that I cannot fail to remark upon it. Colonel Anderson, who com manded the former, fiuding himself, in a per fectly untenable position, and encumbered with a superfluous number of conscripts, many of whom were boys, determined to surrender a fort which he could not defend. In this determine.- tiOn he was supported by all the officers save one. But from the moment he hoisted the white flag, he scrupulously kept everything intact, and iu that condition delivered it over ; whilst Paige and his officers, with a childish spite, destroyed the guns whieh they said they would defend to the last, but which they never defended at all, and t4 i rew away or broke those weapons which. they had not the manliness to use against their o temies, for• Fort Morgan never fired a gun alter the commencement of the bombardmfint." An officer recently from the field of operations describes the prospect of the early capture of Mobile as extrentely,eucouraging: The confi dence of the officers of the naval and laud forces is complete. It is asserted as the opinion of persons who are best qualified to . judge, that the capture of the city is just as feasible as the capture of Fort Morgan. The certainty of that result is not questioned, and it is held that we may hear of the fall of Mobile much sooner than we have been accustomed to expect it. It is un derstood that the rebel land force at Mobile is quite small. From the. Army of the Potomac nothing of importance has been received. Our troops on the Weldon road have been constantly strength ening their position until, in the opinion of our military authorities, - it is now impregnable to the assault of any force the rebels can bring against" it. Small garrisons have been posted on the left bank of the James River, to guard against rambling rebel batteries, who fire on our trans ports. One hundred thousand new troops this Fall, promptly furnished, in all, says Secretary Stan ton, that Gen. Grant asks for the capture of Richmond, and to give n finishing blow to the rebel armies yet in the field. .From. Gen. Sheridan's army we have intelli gence of a fight which occurred on Wednesday, Aug. 31. We attacked the enemy's outposts, near Martinsburg, planting our shells among the rebels with much precision. Heavy skirmishing ensued, the enemy pushing forward strewg col umns, and ineffectflank ually attempting to us. Our forces fell back, or rather drew the rebels on some miles from Martinsburg toward Falling Waters, when there was a lull in the contest. The hostilelines remained in close proximity until Saturday, Sept. 3, when Gen. Averill's di vision of cavalry attacked 'the enemy a short distance south' of Martinsburg, rapidly follow ing him. We captured two battle flags, many prisoners, nearly all of one train of wagons, a herd of cattle, and by 4 P. M. came upon Rhodes's division of rebel infantry and engaged it. Our loss was light. We went to within six miles of Winchester. LA.TEST.—Gen. Sherman's official report of the capture of Atlanta has been received. Our army withdrew from about Atlanta, Aug. 80, made a break on the East Point road, and readhed a good position from which to strike the Macon road. Howard, on our right, found the enemy in force at Jonesboro', and intrenched himself. The enemy attacked him, and were easily re pulsed. Our left and centre advanced rapidly, made a good lodgment on the road, and broke it all the way from Rough and Ready to Howard's left, near Jonesboro'. This interposed Sher man's whole army between Atlanta and the rebel force in Jonesboro'. On Sept. 1, we made a general attack on the enemy at Jonesboro', car ried their works, taking_lo guns and aboutl,o,o prisoners. The enemy retreated - South, and we - pursued to Lovejoy's station. Hood, finding his -only line of supply in our posseseion, and his army cut in two, blew up the magazine in Atlanta, destroyed 7 locomotives, and 81 cars loaded with ammunition, small arms, and stores, left 14 pieces artillery, mostly uninjured, and retreated in the night. Gen. Slocum took possession on the 3d Sept. and so, says Gen. Sherman, " At lanta is ours, and fairly won." Our loss will not exceed 1200. The rebels lose over 300 killed, 200 wounded, and over 16.000 prisoners. Our men need rest, having been in one constant bat tle or skirmish since the 6th•of May. From Gen. Sheridan we have the details of Saturday's battle, September 3. Our loss was 300 killed and wounded: that of the enemy is at least 1,000 greater. We took 500 prisoners. General —The Richmond papers of Sept. 2d, contain along letter from Commissioner Ould to the people of the Confederate States, in which be recites the history of the exchange question. On the 10th of August he addressed .a letter to Major Mulford, the U. S. Commissioner, propo sing now to accept a proposition heretofore re peatedly made by the U. States, to exchange man for man, only suggesting that those longest in captivity should be exchanged first.. On the 20th of August, Major-Mulford had not been in structed by hie Government what answer to make. On the 22d Major Ould wrote Co General Hitchcock, at Washington, and on the 31st no reply had been received. Here the correspon dence closes, and Major Ould makes it public to show that the Confaierate Government had spared no efforts to relieve the sufferings of-pris oners on both sides. It is to be hoped that ex changes on equitable terms may be speedily re newed.. Secretary Stanton states in an official bulletin that it has been ascertained with reasonable car tainty that the naval and other credits required by the act of Congress will amount to about two hundred thousand; including New-York, -which has not. yet been reported to the Department. so that the President's call of July 18th, is practi cally reduced to 300,000 men to meet and take the place of: First—The new enlistments in the navy ; Secomt—The casualties or battle, sickness, prisoners, and desertion ; and Third—The hun - - dred days troops and all others going out by ex piration of service. Of this fresh force of 800,- 000 men, Gen. Grant will. receive one-third, to ,replenish his armies. The residue of the call will be adequate for garrisons in forts and cities, and to guard all the lines of communication and supply, and to free the country from guerrillas, give security to trade, commerce and travel, end establish peace, order and tranquillity in every State. • Foreign.—The most. important. item of foreign news is the capture of the rebel pirate steamer Georgia, about twenty miles from Lisbon, by the U. S. frigate Niagara, which put a prize crew on board and sent the pirate vessel to New-York, but paroled its captain and crew, and landed them at Dover. At the time of the capture, the pirate was sailing under the British flag, and for this reason its captain entered his protest against the seizure. The event is said to have created some controversy. The difficulties arising out, of the Dano-German War have not yet subsided. The minor States of Germany are justly indignant at the grasp ing ambition of Prussia, which is endeavoring to reap for herself exclusively the advantages of the victory over Denmark. Von Bismark, the Prussian Minister, has obtained from the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein a unanimous vote that "a close union with the Prussian monarchy can alone assure to us forever the future of our country." From Mexico we learn that Juarez had left the country, it was supposed for the United States. The French now occupy Saltillo, lately the seat of Juarez' government. Maximilian is pursuing a conciliatory course. He has forbidden the newspapers to abuite the Mexicans who still hold out against him. focal The Approaching Draft,—Unusual activity has been manifested during the Wit few days 'in the various sub-districts in filling up their quotas. So many recruits have been already se cured, and so many seem 'willing still to volun teer, that hopes are entertained that Allegheny. C,unty may escape the draft entirely. It is not yet definitely known at what time the draft will take place, as some days must elapse before the credits obtained can be entered +3p, •and the requisite machinery be set to work. A Deserving Estabiishment.—Mr. Marvin, on Fourth Street between Market and Wood, has established one of the finest bakeries in the West. His bread and crackers of every variety —water, sugar, and soda biscuit., ginger snaps, &c.—are of the most excellent quality. They are always fresh and always good. His trade is already very large, and is constantly increasing. Teachers' Institute.—The Teachers' Institute of Allegheny County held an interesting meeting at Sewickley last week, extending through three days and evenings. The subject of the estab lishment of a Normal School for the counties of Allegheny, Butler, and Beaver, was discussed at considerable length, and Sewickley was recom mended as a suitable location.

The daybefore her-death she clasped the hand of her husband, and with a smile spoke of dying, and said that it was not hard to die.-that the Sav iour had taken away the sting of death. And she requested him not to grieve. Many other expressions showed, her entire confidence in the grace and mercy of her Redeemer. Her funeral was.atterided by a large concourse of people, not only from the church of Middle sex,.of which her husband is pastor, but from adjacent churches.

Then weep not, though siem'q forbids to forget, THOMAS WILSON.—Why the prover)), "Death loves - a shining mark," but that the subtle archer aims his fatal shaft at the most winning member of the family first? The adage is sadly verified in the case of Mr. Thomas Wilson, fourth son of Mr. James Wilson, of Fayette County, Pa., who died August 4th, of typhoid pneumonia, in the 24th year of his age. Patience and submission to the Divine will characterized' the scene. Asked by his beloved mother if be suffered much, be replied, " Jesus can make a dying bed . , _ Feel soft. as downy pillows are." Asked by a beloved aunt whether he wished to live, he replied, "If it be the Lord's will; but chiefly that I might unite with the Church and honor my Saviour." He often said that " all his trust was in Jesus Christ." Engaged in prayer, he would fervently say, " Here, Lord; I give myself awriy, 'T is all that I can 'do ;" ' • - and a sweet smile of serenity would irradiate his face. He took his brothers, sister, an 4 cou sns,,one•by one, telling them he was going „to die, and bidding them an affectionate farewell, he charged them to meet him in heaven. So did he other friends. He made special inquiry for a beloved uncle, not then present, and said if he could see him 'he would then be ready to, go. When his uncle came, he appeared grateful that his life was spared to see him, and said, " You have been a good uncle to me: Fnrewell. I want you to meet me in heaven." His mother read to him that excellent little book, " Come to Jesus," in which he felt a deep interest.. He said, to his pastor,' "I would like to talk with you about salvation, if I were able. lam sorry I did not unite with the church." His seat was seldom vacant in the sanctuary. He was re markable for his upright and honorable deport ment, yet confessed himself a sinner, but trust ing in Christ for pardon and, sali4tion. One who knew him well, says of Ms death, "The church and pastor have lost a devoted frieud." But he is gone, we trust, to the great Shep herd and Bishop .of souls. Ours is the duty of submission to Him who " doeth all things well." S. W. WEDN.ESDAY, &pt. 7 CARBON OIL AND LAMPS. 3. P.

For the last few years of her life she was a great sufferer, and in all her afflictions she possessed a good hope of eternal life beyond the grave. She was faithful in her attendance upon the ordinances of grace, and' was meek, humble, and exemplary, her light shining more and more unto the perfect day. She leaves a kind and fond husband to mourn her death ; also, an aged and Christian mother, together with a number of brothers and sisters.
