New York, Mav 25.

The Bcnnon of Dr. Skinner was one honr and forty in inn tea long— trnly a return to tho good old Puritan fashion, and to the times when our fathers used to mate an all-day job of church going.— Tho subject was The Means of Promoting tho Success of the New School Presbyterian Church. Theopenirig was a novel and very pleasing defense of the New in contrast with tha Old —of the passion for novelty in contrast with the passion for antiquity. The Christian religion was represented as only a new’ development or manifestation of the religion which had always existed. The New School Presbyterian system of doctrine was the new manifestation of Galvanism. "We are progressive and not stereotyped—liberal but not latiiudinarian—ready to accept the new in theoh%y, without hostility to the old. The spirit of tho discourse, though highly denominational, was on the whole excellent. There was none of that bitterness so common in such productions —the odirm thedoyiemn was not manifest, and though nothing was said about Christ and him crucified, the spirit of Christ was there. The chief fault was the sin of omission. He waa exidently in favor of progress, rather than conservatism, in theology, and he declared the object of the Church was the annihilation of all moral evil.— Buthe did nut specify any existing forms oferil to be attacked and annihilated.

Never has it bean our duty to record so awful a calamity as that wbith we now sit down to write. The scene cf tho tragedy is still before our mind’s eye; the wrecks of tho tempest is still lying about; but wcie it not for the uninpeachable , character- of our Informants, eyewitnesses ;of the dreadful calamity, we should be i inclined to believe that they had been la- ■ boring under some mental hallucination and that what we are about t<j refete was but a dream of the imagination. The reality, however is too. true. Thf bodies of three victims and the wound! of the other persons constitute evidence too palpable to bo set aside. ‘. Our readers will remember the! violent hail storm* that took place m Uis city yesterday afternoon, and the oppressive heat which followed it. At tKt same hour the events to which we allule took place in the town of Jefferson, sixteen miles distant.

The hews from the scat of war, by this arrival contrary to the general expectation contains nothing of an interesting or decisive character.- The affairs in the Crimea arc reported as unchanged, though the telegraphic news published .by the Government was brief and somewhat indefinite., !

A cloud of peculiar'shape was first' observed approaching from tho NorthWest, and terminating in a funnelshaped point, the appex toward and nearlj touching the earth. As it came nearer; it was discovered to be a whirlwind, rapidly revolving, and whirling up various ibjecls, among which were plainly seen large sticks of wood, hoards, small trets, and chairs. It was coming towards opr informants, but did not reach them, bnt turned to their right, described a semicircle, and fell upon a large frame house. In an instant, and wkh a crash, the roof was torn off, and immediately the whole house was lifted from its 1 foundation, literally torn to pieces, and the pieces cam-' ed up into the horrid vortex! Thefurni-’ ture in the house shared the same fate, the weight of the articles appearing no obstacle to their ascent whatever.

The injuries with two exceptions, consists of singular and heavy bruises all over the body, < One man had his arm broken; and another hts wrist badly sprained, Mr. Page only saved himself froip bcing drawn up into the air, by holding on to a largo rock. The house stood upon four large granite v boulders. There were all moved several feet from their places; The whirlwind went on and passed diagonally across a post and rail fence.

A man suspected of reading the Protestant Bible, from the fact that he had been singularly lax of Into in his attendance at mass,was waited upon by a deputation from the Government and tho Church. His home, his books, his papers were examined, and he and his family interrogated. He did not deny, nor attempt to deny that bo had long entertained doubts, both of the divine mission of the Pope and of tho divine mission of tho priesthood, ho asserted to investigate the doctrines of the Deformed religion and to learn something of the character and practises of its professors. This he. bad done, bit witbait scakiug to propigatc bis doubts and hesitations among others, an offence which ho knew to be punishable. Bnt he had supposed, he said, that be might bo allowed to set his mind at rest upon a subject so important The committee asked a variety of questions, and succeeded in convincing itself that the man was a confirmed Protestant, and was quite lost to Catholicism in this world and to beatitude in tho next. “You will hear from ns soon, sir,” said the committee, in taking leave, "be careful not to leave tho city.’ 1 Four days after, and at 4 o'clock in the morning , tho guilty apostate was summoned to listen to his sentence, hard labor in irons in a prison for one year, the prison selected being at a distance, and if 1 am not mistaken,on some Mediterranean island, Tho verdict was .immediately carried its execution.

Lord Pal mere tone evaded answering the question in his place in Parliament, '‘whether the conferences are not finally broken off.” But it is said that accredited representatives, representing all tho powers, including Russia, continue to reside at Vienna, so that the elements of another conference permanently exists.

It realizes the utmost horrors of a South American tornado. Had it spent its force in the city, hundreds of deaths might have marked its progress.

War Declared by the Indians.

St. Jo sum, Mo., May 20. Col. Vaughan,, Indian Agent from Fort Ferric, arrived in town yesterday evening. Ho states that the Indians on the plains are in a very unsettled condition; in fact assuming a hostile attitude. The Black Feet, Apaches and Sioux, the Manacunqoes, Sansarc and Yanctnos, are handed in a mighty host and scoffing existing treaties, have unburied the hatchet ami bid defiance to the powers that bo. These tribes combined with the 'B relays and Ogalalies of the Platte, numbering at a small calculation 3,000 warriors, hare thrown np fortifications on Draining Bull at the source of Grand River, and are not only ready but anxious to meet any force that the Government may send against them; emboldened by tho ease with which they massacred our soldiers in the late skirmishes and remarking the terror ever since manifested by the whites, they scoff at the power of tho United States to dislodge them from their strong hold. The Assmeboines, Crovatres aup Mand&ns, having the fear of the four New Regiments before their eyes, have told their agent. Col. Vaughn, in council, that they will not only aid, hut furnish assistance in subduing their refractory brethren. Messrs. Culbertson and Levis were taken prisoners by the Yanctnos, between Fort Union and Fort Feme, but released on surrendering their effects and promising to decamp. The Colonel states that there is no sndw in the mountains, so there will probably bo no rise in the river from that quarter. ■

On the 11th inst the Durham Democracy nominated ‘Old Jo.

Gaines. Ho accepts tho last nomination, and will como out on the broad American platform, advocating the popular doctrine that ‘none hot Americans should rule America.* We will elect him triumphantly. So mote it be.

The bull; of tho passengers were swept off by thp sea—one hundred and ninety were lost.— The remainder clung to the rigging, and by great exertions the coast gnard saved them, including Captain Rawlins and the crow. The coroner’s Jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the captain, and he was taken into custody.'

We give the above as a specimen of "Old Line** resolutions.

IO*In Harrison county, in this Stile, the friends of the American party are discussing the subject publicly throughout the county. Hon. Mr. Slaughter made a powerful speech at Laconia, in that county, on the I8tb inst. The principles of. tho American party'only need to be known, to secure their triumph. The Old Liners have imported a German from Louisville. Ky., who cannot correctly speak the English language, to inttruct American citizens bow to vote.
