RELIGIOUS ITEMS. M ISSION SCHOOL. Under the superintendance of Mr. John F. Glover, this worthy enterprise has received new life, and is again rapidly filling up to its former numbers in the years of its prosperity. It will be found a pleasant place for our readers to spend an hour Sabbath afternoon. The school open- at 1 o'clock. EPISCOPAL. Rev. Mr. Spaulding, who has been absent from the city, is again at his post of duty, and we suppose will officiate in St. Pauls Church to-morrow, holding the customary services at the usual hours. The New York Episcopal Convention is in session in New York City. The reports from the Churches show a very prosperous state of affairs. Twelve churches applied for admission into the Diocese. A movement is on foot to establish in the Episcopal church in this country, the grades in the Ecclesiastical hierarchy which have been disused since the separation from the Mother Church of England. The di ocese or Illinois in Convention have resolved that it is expedient to re-established the office of Dean ; and a resolution favoring what is called the Provincial system, was referred to a special com -mittee with considerable likelihood of being adopted.

PRESBYTERIAN. The Cumberland Presbyterian church will be closed to-morrow, except for the Sabbath School, the Pastor, Rev. J. C. Bowden being absent from the city in attendance at the meeting of the Synod of his Church. A revival of religion is progressing in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Murfreesboro, Tenn. Vine Street Church. The usual Sabbath services at the Vine Street Presbyterian church (O. S.) to-morrow. Sabbath School at 9 o'clock in the morning. Preaching by Rev. Mr. Martin at half past 10 o'clock, a. m., and at half-past 7 P. m., and we kindly say to that portion of the congregation who so often neglect the duty and the privilege of attending on the means of grace in the sanctuary, that there is as much room in the church at night as there is in the day time, and that the Pastor and others will be pleased to see them in their pews at all hours for public service. Citizens and strangers are cordially invited to this church, morning and evening, that they may hear the Word of Truth- " By grace are ye saved through faith, and faith comes by hearing." Walnut Street Church. Services as uusual; in the morning at 101 o'clock, and in the evening at 7$ o'clock. The Rev. John C. Smith, who is known all over the country, particularly to soldiers and those who had soldier friends in the hospitals of Washington City during the war who gave up his church for hospital purposes, and, with his wife, devoted nearly his whole time to our suffering braves has just preached his twentyseventh anniversary sermon. During this time one thousand three hundred and thirty-nine (1,339) members have been added to his church, or an average of nearly fifty every year. Writing to the New York Evangelist, he says : " We began a protracted prayer meeting October, 1865, nearly a year ago, which is continued to the present time with unabated interest. I attend three of the evening prayer meetings, and two others I do not. Two Sabbaths ago there were present forty young men at the prayer meeting, conducted by themselves, and particularly for young men. ' During the year closed we have added 123. "Our purpose is to continue the meetings till our October meetings. Mr. Smith is a noble specimen of a whole souled Christian minister. No man, the country over, has been more devoted to and out-spoken for the Union, and yet no minister, anywhere, more alive to the work of saving souls. His patriotism is the outgrowth of his religion, and thus it is a strong branch upon a noble tree." There has been a revival in the Old School Presbyterian Church, of Charleston, in this State, under the pastoral care of Rev. Mr. Keigwin. Eleven have been added to the church ; many more are seeking the Lord in deep anxiety. The Old School Theological Semi nary, at Chieago, has just opened with about forty students. It is well known that this Seminary is largely indebted, for its existence, to the munifioeuV ,hejfuetions of Mr. McCormick, of reaper notoriety, who en dowed a professorship bearing his

own name. It is also well known that Mr. Mf Cormick was eminently conservative, and opposed to the church having anything to say on the subject of slavery. It has now taken place that Dr. McMasters, who, eight years ago, was bitterly opposed by Mr. McCormick for his ultraism on the vexed question, has been installed into the professorship bearing his name. Just preceeding his installation, Prof. Charles Elliott delivered the opening lecture, his subject being " The relation of Christ's kingdom and the preaching of the gospel to civil affairs.'' As the principles of righteousness over-laps all human activities, the Christian is bound to yield to them in all things, whether they be civil, political or religious. Professor Edgar, the of Assembly's College, in Belfast, Ireland, died on the 26th ultimo, in the 69th year of his age. In addition to his professorship, Dr. Edgar was an ardent worker in all benevolent enterprises, Temperance, Anti-Slavery, the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, Institutions for the Blind, &c. The Northern Whig, of Ireland, says, H Fully seven-eights of the meet ing houses in Belfasthave been erected by his energy, and throughout Ireland at least fifty of the houses of worship owe their existence to his efforts. His services and wondrous force of charcter have left an abiding impression, marking, as it d?es, a distinctive era in the Church's history." Thus has rassed away a Christian philanthropist of boundless energy, and inexhaustable enthusiasm in every cause with which the welfare of man and the progress of Christ's kingdom were identified." We may here add, that Prof. Edgar waB personally known to most of our Irish citizens from North Ireland. Lane Seminary. The prospect for a large increase of students in Lane Theological Seminary, N. S., Cincinnati, is good; over thirty have already made application for rooms, and certainly the number in attendance the coming year will be double that of last year. Zion's Church (German). Last Sunday was a day of great interest in Zion Church (German) of this city, of which the Rev. Mr. Schenck is pastor. The church is essentially a Presbyterian Church, though known by the title of German Evangelical. Last Sabbath was the day of their " Mission Feast, " the object of which

is to promote christian sympathy among neighboring churches, and to hear sermons and addresses upon va rious missionary interests. There were six clergymen present, and the attendance of christians so large that it was not possible for all to enter the house. In the morning a collection was taken up for Home Missions, amounting to one hundred and twenty-five dollars. In the afternoon for Foreign Missions, amounting, to seventy-five dollars. In the evening a collection for the conversion of Jews, of twentyseven dollars. The monthly concert collections of the church amounted in addition to seventy-five dollars, making a total of over three hundred dollars. This is a noble example, as the majority of these members are hard working men and women, and possessed of but little means. Zion Church is on Fifth Street, below Ingle Street. Another Mission Feast is to be held to-morrow in the German Evangelical Church of Blue Grass. METHODIST EPISCOPAL. The various churches of this denomination, in th city, will be open to-morrow. Services at the usual hours. A bitter political attack has been made pon the Conference at Vincennes, for the resolutions passed on the state of the country. It is only the voice of the whole Church oi the North on the subject; not a Conference which has been in session this month, but has declared itself on the country, and most of them going farther than the Indiana Conference. As a sample, we copy a part of the resolutions of the Ohio Conference: "Whereas, This Conference one year ago pledged its hearty support to Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, so long as he should keep in view the best interests of the whole country, and continue to sustain the great results achieved by loyal arms; and Whekkas. He has not proved true to this trust; therefore, 1. Rtmlved, That we no longer feel bound td give him our support. 2. Resolved, That we heartily in dorse the action of the late Congress of the United States, and will ever

pray for the perpetuity of our Government. 3. Resolved, That in the restoration of that portion of the United States which has been in rebellion the privileges of the ballot box should be extended to the freedmen of such States. 4. Resolved, That we view with the greatest pleasure the almost unbroken phalanx of soldiers of our country, as they march to the ballot box to sustain the achievements they won in the field, and that while we raise a monument of honor in our hearts to the worthy dead, we will ever hail with good cheer the living, and will pray tor their welfare in this world, and for their final Balvation in heaven. Pewed Churches An Interesting Question. In the Christian Advocate, of August 9th, a correspondent gave his views of the question of pewed churches, and offered to be one of ten to give $50 each in a prize tract on the evils of the "pew system." Rev. Dr. Newman, editor of the New Orleans Advocate, officiated as Chaplain of the Convention of Southern Loyalists, held last week in Philadelphia. Among those who assisted him in the devotional services of the Convention, were Rev. Dr. Nadal and Rev. Mr. L. C. Matlack. The Pacific Advocate states that Rev. C. H. Lawton, of San Francisco, has received a supply of Chinese books from Rev. Dr. Maclay, of our Chinese mission at Fau Chau. Mr. L. believes that he has a call to labor for the evangelization of the " Celestials," who abound in the cities and mines of California. Hon. A. G. Watkins. This gentleman formerly represented East Tennessee in Congress. He is a man of rare eloquence and power over the masses. Having been converted in one of the glorious revivals prevailing in the Holston Conference last Winter, he immediately commenced pleading for Christ. Having now become convinced that God has called him to the work of the ministry, he has been employed by Bishop Clark on the Mossy Creek Circuit, Holston Conference. The eloquent voice that once f (leaded the cause of country is now ifted up for Christ. CATHOLIC. The Catholic Church of Bedford was dedicated on Sunday last. The Pope. The New York Catholic Register, in some comments on the course of the French Emperor, on his relations to Italy and Pope Pius, says : In the prospect, so far as human sagacity can forecast, there is nothing but disaster, spoliation, and humiliation for the Pope. And yet, intelligent Catholics, all over the world, while they grieve and regret, laugh at the oppressor, while they fear the judgments of heaven. They have no fear for the Papacy, nor for the Church! They pity the world, and are awe-stricken because the end of all may be at hand! The Italian abortion of a Unitary Kingdom will fall, because it is against the natural genius of the different races and people of Italy to be unified. Franc6 may dwindle into insignificance, by being led into false courses. Austria may cease to exist. Other nations may rise or fall. But older than any of them, is the Holy Roman CatholicChurch. Anti-Catholic powers will hurry on to their extinction. There is no enduring principle in any government not based ou the principles taught by the Catholic Church. But, while the world lasts, intelligent Catholics know that, politically sovereign and independent, or else in a prison the doors of which will be opened soon even if miraculously, as in the case of the first Pope, St. Peter the Vicar of Christ on earth will still rule the Church, as the successor of St. Peter. Generous Words. There is to be a Grand Council of the Catholic Bishops of the country at Baltimore on the 7th of next month. A remarkable letter, written by the Bishop of Savannah, announces that the evangelization of the freedman of the South will be one of the principal subjects of the deliberations of that body. The Bishop also goes On to say that "The golden rule, love thy neighbor as thyself, must not admit of any exception ; and, therefore, we call on the faithful to send most fervent and reiterated prayers to the Throne of Grace, that the fathers of the Council may receive light and grace from the invisible head of the Church, to procure the speedy and efficacious evangelization of the African race." The Bishop further says that he wishes the colored race to be admitted and invited to the benefits of Catholic schools and Catholic education."

miscellaxkocs. Laim h ok the Morning Star. The juvenile proprietors of the missionary ship " Morning Star," many of whom reside in this city, will be pleased to learn that she has been successfully launched. She " went down into the sea " at Boston, on Saturday Iast,in presence of a large concourse of people, the " stars and stripes " and the flag of Hawaii floating at her mast-head, and her own signal color a red star on white ground at he? bow. The vessel is beautifully built, is 100 feet long, 26 feet wide and 9 feet deep. She cost $20,000. The num

ber of Sabbath Schools which have shared in the work is about 2,000, and the stockholders are to be found in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the islands of the sea. Only that morning, the Treasurer said he had received a subscription from a person on the banks oftheDanube. An organ has bren contributed which will be put in the cabin to cheer the missionaries in their lonely labors. A library, compass, and a number of flags have also been given. For a figure-head she has a full length female figure with a Bible under her left arm. which she is in the act of taking with the right hand to present to the heathen, to whom the vessel is to bear the " glad tidings " of the Gospel. New York, Sept. 24. There was an immense gathering at Plymouth Church yesterday, but policemen were stationed in the street to prevent excessive crowding, and to inform visitors that standing room was not possible. Beecher avoided political subjects, but prayed that the President may be led the right way, and be delivered from evil counselors. The publication of Beecher's sermons in the Independent has been discontinued, and it is reported that he and the editor have quarreled. Relapsing. Rev. Mr. Meredith, of Stafford county, tella of a negro woman of that region leading her people in idol-dances, and giving out herself as immortal. Rev. Dr. Marshall, of Mississippi, says hundreds of negroes in that State have adopted what they call the New Religion. They teach that God is dead ; and that tha Saviour has been superseded by two old negro women, whom they worship in His stead. Richmond ( Va.) Enquirer. MISCELLANEOUS.

Ear Crushing and Expressing the Juice from Apples, Lhrapes, and other Emit, at our and the suhx operation. THE KMINCKIRKK HAN INVENTed and paten ted a, Machine for crushing and expressing the Juice from Apples and other fruit at asingle operation, thereby dispensing with screws, levers, presses, and otber cumbersome machinery, and saving all the time and labor necessary to separate the juices from the fruit by the old process. This Important result is attained by a novel arrangement of crushing and pressing cylinders together in one frame, entirely unlike any Machine ever heretofore constructed for such a purpose, and which must eventually supersede and do away with all known processes for extracting juices from fruit. The subscriber claims, and is ready to demonstrate, that the following advantages are gained over all other Machines: 1st. With the same amount of power, three time the quantity of Oider or Wine can be made in a day than can be made by any other Machine. 2d. That trom 25 to 40 pet cent, more Cider or Wine can be extracted from the same amount of fruit. 3d. That it Is more compact aud simple in its operation, stronger and less liable to get out of order; is adapted to hand or other powers ; is portable, and can be transported readily from place to place; can be driven by any kind of power, and can be attached to any machinery. 4th. It is cheaper in proportion to its Capacity. 5th. It is stronger, being constructed enirely of iron. 6th. In being adapted for expressing juices from all kinds of fruit, including Applet, Grape. Rhubarb, or Wine Plant, Currant, and Berrie of aU kind. 7th. That it is superior to any Root Cutler known for the purpose of crushing roots of all kinds, for feeding stock, quicker, easier, and better than' any other Machine. 8th. That it expresses the juice from Apples or other fruit the moment they aTe crushed, wherein lies the great secret ol making good Cider or Wine. 8th. that it does not grind or break the seed of any kind of fruit; thereby doing away with a great objection which Is urged against all otherMachinas.
