The latest advices ' from ' Alaskl, December 18th, mention no suffering among the troops; on the coatrary, they represent all well. Late Arizona advices say that Geo. Palmer, the Southern Pacific Railroad Surveyor, expresses the opinion that the road sh-iuld be built to the 30:h parallel.

Friends of the Sabbath School cause, and the public generally, are cordially invited to be present. " During the present, week religious meetings have been held in Trinity M. E. Church every evening.

This church is now fully organized as a separate parish, the last act, that of recording the elcetioa cf officers on i he county boots, having oeen com pleted yesterday.. In this connectioo, it may be well to state what is not generally known. that under the laws of this State, vestrys are entitled to hold, lor church purposes, not exceeding one hundred acres of land, and five thousand dollar personal.--. In the several ' Dioceses a similar law is being extensively . used. . Why should it not be in thi3? ! Land comparatively valueless now, will, ia a few years, become very, valuable, and tho donor, at little cost to himself, wuld confer a lasting benefit u; on ihe ctmrcb. Reverend Bishop Talbott has been cleiivenrg some interesting lectures upon the late Lambeth Council. The speaker's recollections of the Pau Anglicaa Assembly are said to be very interesting, especially to Episcopalian?. rPISfOPAL r.HOSSTKSE. The leading Low Church clergy ujen ?al Church have issued a (i 1 1)0 Jjpijcopa dooiaratit-u wnicn causes much excitement in their denomination. AmLl . the promiaent signers are Rev. Drr-.

Tyng, Ji:f4Th declaration fipens by deprecutlog, the tendencies in the Episcop'al Church to R-imijih doctriues and practice, of which it is

yj:iJ: "The essential j-riuiiple of these tendencies is an entire subversion oi-the Pro'.estent aud evangelical character of our reformed church. It Ira Deforms tie ministry 'of the Gospel into a priesthood; 'baptism into a magical rite; the Lord's Supper into the sacrifice of the; mass; evangelical liberty into bondage to manifold observances and ceremonies; and the -one chureh of Christ, 'the blessed company of ail faithful people,' into the body of .those who, recocnize and conform to & mere sacerdotal is stem." Bat .the. , matt .prac

tically important part of the declaration is ine assertion or the;: right of Allowsbip with -.the non-Ep'aedpal Christians and minls ters. On- this i point of declaration it says: "" We believe, also, that the present crisis of Protestantism demands a higher degree of sympathy and eo-operation among the various evangelical bodies into which we are divided. ' An exclusive position, in this respect, we hold to be injurious to our own Church, and inconsistent with our history and standards, as well as with the spirit of the Gospel. In the case of those chosen and called ' to the work of the ministry by those who have public authority given unto them in tbe congregation,' and manifestly blessed in their labors by the. Holy Ghost, we believe .that we cannot withhold our recognition of the validity of their ministry, without, imperiling the interests of evangelical religion, 4 despising the brethren,' and doing despite - unto the spirit of grace.' In this matter, also, we express our earnest sympathy with the resistance which is made to those false interpretations of canonical law by which this recognition and fellowship would be restrained." The DePauw Female College . at New Albany is to be enlarged in the Spring, by an additional wing, thirty six by forty-eight feet in size, and four stories high. This enlargement is made? by Mr. DePauw, who has donated $10,030 for the purpose. Elder A. S. Worrell, formerly Principal, of the Baptist . Female Academy, at Danville, Ky., has accepted the Presidency of the Baptist Female College to be opened in Lexing ton. in a few weeks. v;The Baptists of Illinois now number 48,129 members;: in .1837 they were only 1,100. In the last two years they have baptized 10,000. The Baptist ratio of increase has been twice as great as that of population. In the present year they have built a church and baptized about one hundred members every week, on an average. Religious Reform in India. The superstitions of Hindooism appear to be giving way to the truths of Christianity and the spirit of an enlightened age. Several religious societies have been formed by the natives, who adopt for their creed a belief in only one Supreme Being, who alone should be adored, and renounce all Hindoo superstitions. A society in the Punjaub, which includes both Hindoos and Sikhs, has for its cardinal principle the rejection of idols and all other material aids to devotion. Native reformers say that India must be regenerated, and wholly relinquish the use of idols. AN interesting revival 13 progressing at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Princeton. A RELIGIOUS revival is progressing in the Methodist Church at Prairieton, Vigo County. Over fifty additions have been made to the church. Henry Ward Beecher is preparing a work upon the Life of Christ." In a letter to his publisher he says : "The materials are abundant. The difficulty lies in selection. The last thirty years have brought to the consideration of this subject more learning and eloquence than were ever directed, within the same srnee of time, to one subject. Our local knowledge, too, has been vastly augmented by the scientific topographical explorations of the Holy Land." There is a society in Brooklyn and New York called the " Midnight Mission." Its object is two-fold: Frst, to rescue Jfailen women from the snares and .- temptations which surround and entangle them, with the hope of restoriug them to virtue aud society; and, secondly, to save their souls from death by poiet'.r'r th-m to the cross of Christ as the ua':y refuge for this life and the lite to corn?, lo accomplish those objocts Christian men go out upon the streets twice a week with cards of invitation and rengious trac's. trying to persuade trying thps'e unfortunate youncr woir?n forsake their ;vi; ways, and come to to the rooms cf th? A.ssoeiatiou. where they meet with the society of religious women, obtaiu refreshments, hear the Paims read, and are provided with situations at tho first opportunity. Sunday Law in Prussia.

Daring his visit he also delivered an' address to the students of the University. The venerable Dr. Elliott was on the rostrum, and the Bishop, pointing to him, said that near forty years ago he had walked'eighty miles, carrying his little bundle of clothes, and became a studsnt under the Doctor, when he' was President of Madison College. The venerable Doctor, the eloquent Bishop, and the touching allusion of the past, made the scene most impressive and affecting. From tbe Provldeuc Journal; Jan. 10. Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, Presiding Bishop. By the death of Bishop ;.Hopkins, the place of Presiding Bishop in the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, now. belongs to the Itight Reverend Benjamin Bosworth Smith. D. D.. of Kentucky. Both he and Bishop McIlvaine, of Ohio, were consecrated at the same time with Bishop Hopkins, October 31, 1831: but the consecration of Bishop Smith, was second in the services, of the occasion, and he is consequently, the next in the order of his succession. He resides it Frankfort, Kentucky. He is a native of Rhode Island, having been born in Bristol in 1794, and graduated at Brown University io the clas9 of 1810. . He studied , theology with Bishop Griswold, who then resided - at-. Bristol, and was ordained Deacon in . 1618, and Presbyter in 1819. He was some years settled in Middlebury, Vt. and afterwards in Virginia, whence he removed to Kentucky. He is a. man of great excellence of character, , and belongs to the Evangelical or Low Church party. During the civil war he maintained the truest loyalty . to the Union, and in its earliest stages especially, while the position of, Kentucky was dubious, he made his influence very widely felt in the State in supporting the Government and promoting the cause of the Union. Iu consequence of the extent of his diocese and his own increasing infirmities, it lately became necessaiy to choose an assistant bishop, and the Right Rev. G. D. Cummings, D tD. was consecrated in that office in November, 1800. Pastoral Aid ,Societies. A. new question is just bow engaging the attention of the Methodist pastors of Philadelphia and vicinity that of inaugurating a system of " pastoral aid societies," composed of ladies of the Church. The work suggested is that of sub-districting the territory embraced in their Congregations, in order to visit the sick and' needy, ?atber the children into the Sunday Schools, encourage attendance upon religious services, and give religious couusel wherever needed. In short, the work proposed is that of aiding the pastor by a regular systemat.cal plan of labor. Bishop Simpson has given his endorsement to the movement, and the preachers' meeting, by a unanimous vote, agreed to take the subject into consideration, and report Monday of last week. Western Christian Advocate. Very interesting meetings are being held in the Fourth Street Theatre, Cincinnati. They are held every Sunday afternoon, and have been in progress for some time. At. a recent meeting, one of the exercises was the recitation of Whittier's poem on Palestine. Romanists and Our Public (SCHOOLS. The Uniozrse. the -organ of the Roman Catholics in Philadelphia, recently! used the following coarse language respecting the public school system of this country. Speaking of that city, it says: There are multitudes of Catholic children 'in the public schools here, aud the; e "same schools are quite as destructive of faith as the Uuiversi-, ties of England. The, , Catholic father who , sends, his children to a Protestant school, is fir, far wor.-e in .unnatural crime than th? mother who exposes her infant im the path of the wclf. Children aie given as blessings. To send them where their faith is certain to be poisoned, is iogratitute to our Saviour, o!' parallel heiuousness to the pride of the fallen angels against the Almighty. Those angels are now devil.-? in hell for their sin; the Catholic who-send their children to Protestant schools have, inevitably before them, eternal companionship with those fieuds. And what of the ehiL dreu the.mselvert .As sure as their gruce of faith perishes,' aod in almost l. n.
