BALTIMORE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD {Special Report for The Star.) PTERNOON SESSION. ‘Upon reassembling in the afternoon the Mod- eraior announced that Ss & number of the members of the Synod were absent the reaoin- tion offered by Dr. Backus. which was pead- mg wien the boar for recess arrived, should be passed by, and the next business in order taken up. The Secretary then read the report of tne Committee on the records of the Presbytery of Potomac, recommending their approval as far as written, except the Presbytery's omission Of the regular examinations and trials in giv- ing license to Mr. R. B. Williams, whom their mrmnutes recognize as having come under their life without license. On motion, the report was adopted. Rey. Mr. Carter offered the following resolu- tion, which was adopted: esolvet, That the members of Synod report annually (o their respective Presbyteriés taeir attention to the order of Synod rejative to their missionary labora within our bounds. and that a writen report of the same be made to the Synod. ‘pr. Dickon‘s resolution was then called up, when the anthor addressed the Synod in favor of its adoption. He had spent money and time in the Metropolitan Church enterprise, and now he wished the project to be curried throngh. Rev. Mr. Uarter contended that the Potomac Presbytery had the whole jurisdiction over the committee having the maiter in charge of the Church enterprise. ¢ Presbytery and not the General Assembly of the church. + The subject was aiscussed briefly by other gentlemen, in which ft was suggested that the consent of the contributors should be obtained before the money was transferred to the Uapi- tol Hill Churcb, after which Rev. Dr. Backus withdrew his motion iu fayor of Mr. Taylor's motion. Rev. Mr. Taylor cid not believe that the Me- tropolitan church could be established with the building alone, without the people, and he therefore hoped the money raised should be turned over to Dr. Chester's church, on Capi- tol Hill, and that to be the Metropolitan charch. The advantage of (his arrangement,he thoaght, would be paramount to all as soon as consid- ered. Sbould the Uapitol Hull church be se- lected the same rules ad ment of the E-street opolitan Charch, ‘would, of course, be applied to that. Rev. Dr. Chester then, by requesi, explained bis action with regard to the establishment of & Metropolitan church on Capitol Hill, and confessed that the opposition he bad met with at times had greatly discouraged him, and he hardly knew what was best to be done. Rev. Mr. Taylor offered the following resoln- tion, asan amendment to theone previously offered by him, which was unanimously adopted: hereas, a flourishing and promising Church enterpwe has been Maugurated on Capitol Hill, Washington, ander the care ot Rev. Jobn Uhester: ana whereas the position of this Church is central, and in the midst of a largeand growing part of the city, eminently suitable for the situation of the Metropolitan Church: therefore Resoived, That it is recommended to the Presbytery of Potomac to inguire into th> Jegal and moral expediency of recognizing this new enterprise as the Metropolitan Cnurch, and if it be found feasible to prosecute it with all zeal and interest in connection with the session of that Church. Rev. Dr. Dickson, of Baltimore, addressed the Synod in behalf of the Board of Domestic ions. He deplored the marked !ukewarm- manifested in the great work and urged efforts to further the cause. Resolutions had been passed from year to year making Mace- donian calls, but they seemed to have done no 00d; tbe cause still languished and received but little practical assistance. The poverty of the South was referred to, and the speaker thought but lite could be expected from the Church in that quarter; out the North was rich, and there was reason for expecting pecuniary aid fromthe Church and people there. Rev. Dr. Backne followed in favor of Do- Mestic Miseions—a subject which he thought of vast importance, ana one into which new lite should be infused. The Board, he tpoupht, had done a great deal to promote its ‘ficiency; but without the aid of all the churches and people, their efforts could avail but little. Rey E. A. A.Taylor tollowed Dr. Backus. He did not wish to occupy the time of the Synod, but thought something should be done im the matter by the Synod. He believed that, if the subject was properly placed before the People, it would be an easy matter to procure istance. The ministry were fully aroused, and if they were only instructed in what was needed for domestic missions, they would do ir. He concluded by offering a series of reso- lutions providing that the last Thursday in November be recognized by the Presbyterian Church asa day of thanksgiving to God for the many blessings bestowed: that the pastors be requested to preach sermons on that occa- sion retating to the missionary work in our Jand; and that they further express their prac- tical gratitude to God by taking up a liberal collection for the cause, and, further still, that the pastors at the next anuual Synod be calied on to report their action. Rey. Mr. Taylor thought it decidedly more Proper to appropriate the funds collected on this occasion to the object of domestic missions than to be turning them over to the Freedmen’s Bureau. Rey. J. S. Henderson called for a collection upon the spot, and pending the further con- sideration of the subject, the Synod adjourned to half past 7 o'clock. EVENING BESSION. The evening session was opened in the Bridge street Church with the singing of a bymn. after which the Moderator, Rev. John Chester, read the 4th chapter of John, and the Rev. Dr. Tustin offered up an eloquent prayer. The Rev. P.G. Hayes, of Baltimore, from the Committee on Education, appointed by the Synod of last year, read the report of that committee, in which al ion 18 made to the efforts of the Roman Catholics to fill their schools and academies with the children of Protestant parents, and the report siates that there is not a single Roman school where the children of Presbyterian parents are not to be Jound, and that im some of their schools such representation is counted by scores; that there schools are not better in the advantages afford than the Protestant schools, though it is otherwise siated, ‘The only excuse parents can bave for sending their children to these schools that bas any foundation, is that there are so few Protestant schools, espe- cially Presbyterian schoole. so that in many instances parents are compelled to send their children to Oatholic schools. The reportstates that the number of schools under Presbyterian influence in this Synod sums up two acade- mies and seven female seminaries; and yet the Synod is composed of i05 ministers, 121 churches. and 11,445 members, and 10,461 chil- dren in Sabbath schools, and inclades in its bounds the capital of the nation, and the fourth city in the Union in population. The statistics of the past year show that the Synod has not been remias in the work of Sabbath school in- struction. Not only are there schools con- nected with ali the churches, but the members of the churches have gone out into destitate districts and organized mission schools, which Dave every where met with success. ‘fhe vy lo concludes with a recommendation of the tion of resolutions: ‘“Tbat Synod does most heartily commend those of our church members who have devoted themselves to the work of Sabbath school in- struction, and wovld pray for the constant attendance and blessing of the Holy Ghost on all thetr efforts, and exhort our members and churches to renewed earnestness in the work of the religious instruction of children. That the Synod would call the cial attention of our ministers and elders to theaubyect of estab- Mehing parochial schools in the communities in which they have influence, as a \tter of the greatest. importance to our prosperity. ‘That we hereby suggest to the ministers and el where there are schools already organ- ized in teir vicinity under Protestant auspices, to endeavor faras possible to influence such scboo!s for good, and, where they havi Cone: tunity, take part in their administration. That @ committer be appointed by this Synod to col- lect information and statistics on this subject, and take into consideration the propriety of establishing one or more literary institations ‘within the bounds of the Synod, and report at its next meeting.” Mr. J.P. Carter, from Baltimore, moved the acceptance and t10n of the report. He then read the 1sth ter of Matthew, and an extract from the 19th. apter, as showing that children are beld in the highest estimation by God, and baves ling influence in the court’ of Heaven. The emblem the atest in oer oy ptt oe aiale aes 1 not the wi that oneor these Tite ance should be lost, and hence he had sent His dear Son to sive them.

He spoke against the practice of the children o: ye parents attending Roman Ithad been eaid that a young lady could not get a finished education any where elee than ata Catholic school. This statement he would refute, advocating that this Synod should bave more a ee for the spread of Presbyterian principles. Prev. Jos. ¥. Sith, of Baltimore, next spoke, saying that the word of God was the very best text-book for the education of children. There is no book in the universe which so developes the imagination, fancy or taste, as the book of God. In the garden of literature, the very choicest tfowers have been gathered from this book. In Scotland‘it could be seem how ppteat ‘the word of God ts as an educator, - Rev. Dr. S. B. Baird, of Richmond, Rev. James F. Kennedy, and Rev. A. B. Cross, also made addresses, the latier saying he had ‘walked out to the “institution of Satan, at the other end of the town,” where he had seen little other than a quarter ot a mile of high walls. 1t was time tor Preabyterians to begin, heesid. to work and counterbalance the influence in the community of these Catholic schools. The resolutions were then severally taken up and adopted; when Rev. J. E. Nourse pro- Posed an additional resolution, which was Tead, as follows: Resolved, That parents in our churches be solemnly admonished that their children be entrusted, as far as possible, to such teachers as will train them in the Scriptural principles of our Church, and they are especially charged that they do not place the lambs of the flock in the hands of the Charch of Rome After considerable ditcuesion upon the reso- lution, Rev. G. P. Hayes moved the postpoue- ment of the farther consideration of the sub. ject wntil to-day. The motion prevailed: and after a prayer by Rev. J. H. Hayes, the Mod- erator declared the Synod adjourned until 9a m. to-aay. SECOND DAY. The Synod reascembied in the lecture room ot Bridge-street Cnurch this morning a’ nine o'clock, and after half an hour’s devotional exercises proceeded to business. ‘The roli of members was called: after which the minutes of the preceding day’s sessions ‘were read and approved. A letter was read from Rev. J. A. Maury, of Sarlisle Presbytery, giving as @ reasun for bis absence that he was confined at nome from sickness. The reasons were sustanet The Synod proceeded to the order of the day, being the call on the Presbyteries tor reports on missionary labors within their respective borders. Presbytery of Cartiste. As apartoft the report of the Presbytery of Carlisle, the Rev. Mr. Hillman made a state. ment of his Inbors in the destitute field of Western Maryland. In the course of his remarks he related several interesting inci- dents, and referred to the increasing interest manifested by a number of the uninstructed. He had made appeals to the churches of Balti- more ond elsewhere, and had secured thereby sums of money sufficient to provide places of worship in several sections of his field of labor. Presbyt-ry of Baliimore. “At the last stated meeting of the Synod of Baltimore, it was resolved that the attention of the several Presbyteries comprised in this Synod be earnestly called to the daty we owe to the Great Head of the Church aad to per- ishing souls, to eee to it that the work of home missions be not neglected in their respective fields; that ail our pastors and churches be en- joined to use their best eiforts to reach and bring under religious influence those within the bounds of or contiguous to their charges, who are destitute or negligent of the stated means of grace; that we recommend to the Presbyteries under onr care to divide their miscionary fields, and assign certain portions of the same to one or more of their memoers for exploration and cultivation; and we also recs ommend that every member of Synod sp-nd at least a month every year in missionary work, and make report of the same at the fall meeting of bis Pre-bytery, and that the combined result of these efforts be Feported by Presbyteries every year to the Synod. Presbytery of Potomac. “The Presbytery of Potomac beg leave to re- port that these resolutions have met with their careful consideration and their cordial ap- proval. lt must be observed, however, that we contider them as an emphatic recommen- dation of an important subject to the attention of the Presbyteries. rather than as an authorita- tive declaration, laying down a particular line of action to be pursued. A moment’s consid- eration. it seems to us, will satisfy any one thata literal fulfilment of the terms of the Tesolutions is not practicable and could aot Bave been intended: but that it is their general spirit and intent ihat is to influence our action. report based upon the other assumption Would be manifestly unjust. For, in sucha Presbytery as ours, it would be pertectly competent for several of the brethren to re- port that they had each spent twelve months in home missionary labor, while others, no less active in and devoted tw the cause, could notclaim as many days devoted to work purely missionary in its eharacter. It seems plain, therefore, that the intention of Synod will be met by reports from Presbyte ries of their work as Presbyteries in fields but partially cultivated orentirely neglected. “A glance at the map will convince any one who hasa@ moderate acquaintance with the cbaracter of the City of Washington, and of the social and political conditions of Central and Eastern Virginia, that the Presbytery of Potemac is, and for a Jong time to come must continue to be, pre- eminently a Missionary Presbytery. The reli- gious wants of that great and rapidly-increas- ing political centre, the city of Washington, and of large districts in Virginia, but a short Ume ago devastated. but now filling up with an ever-increasing population, demand a con- stantly enlarging aggressive work at our hands. 1n order that we may fulfill the daty thus de- volving upon us, the Presbytery recognizes the iraportance of cultivating individually a missionary spirit, so that each member being vitally interested in the cause shall contribute bis part to the work, as Providence shall en- able and indicate, whether it be in the way of counsel and direction, or of actual labor in field. We believe that in support of this as- sertion we can safely point to our history, es- pecially during the past four years. in Wash- isgton we have been endeavoring to keep pace with the rapid growth of that city, by the es- tablishment of two churches in ‘districts previously Neglected. in Virginia and ‘aryland old organizations have been cared for, and new ones originated, with fair pr pects of success. Coming down to the pai year, we Rave to report the presecution of undertakings previously begun: the revival of @n almost extinct church, and the initiation of anew enterprise. This latter field, con- sisting of two ehurches—Prince William and Manassas—seven miles apart, is under the care of Rev. J. E. Nourse, as stated supply. In November Professor Nourse visited the field and found the church of Prince Wil- liam scattered by the ravages of war.

This motion elicited a wide discusston upon the subject of missions, and the daties of stationed ministers to 1 fields of labor to engage even for a portion of the which debate was participated in by Rev. Messrs. year, &e.; Backus, Cross, J. T. Smith, J. N. Hays, Taylor, Dickson, Gurtey,| and others. It was also contended by several ministers that the Potomac Presbytery had carried out the resolutions in the only way that they could be observed. On the other band, it was contended that there were otber ways in which the reso- lution conid be carried ont, and a motion was made to amend by striking out the words the only way it could be done.” The latter motion prevailed, and the resolation was adopted as amended. The Rev. J. W. Hoover, of the Methodist Episcopat Charch; Rey. Mr. Sherman, of the Methodist Protestant Church; ana Rev. Mr. mbs, of the Presbytery of the District of Colombia, N. S., appearing in the hali, they were invited to seats as corresponding mem- bers. Rey. I. T. Smith, from the Special Commit. tee on re-uuion of the Old and New Schools Churches, read the following report: ‘Whereas the General Assembiy has request- ed the Churches to offer such suggestions to the Joint Committee on the re-nnion of the two branches of the Presbyterian Church as may ferve for the guidance of the Committee in their future deliberations. The Syrod of Baltimore in compliance with the recommen- dation of the Arsembly, as well ns ont of re- gard tothe great importance of the subject it- self, agrees upon the following: 1. We deeire to declare at the outset, in the most emphatic terms, an entire and most Dearly sympathy with the great end proposed to be accomplished. the organization of the branches of the Presbyterian Church. We be- eve that the Church of Christ ougnt to ba one, not only in its inner spiritual lif, but in the outward visible organization through which that life manifests itself. «There is one body and one spirit.” All divisions among the professed followers of Christ, sach as now exist, we deplore as the effect of human imper- fection and sinfulness. When the sanctifica- ‘on of Christians is complete, all will see eye to eye, and walk id in hand, and when the sanctification of the church is complete these sects and parties will all vanish away. and these rebel voices will no longer be heard say- ing. «I am of Paul and 1 of Appollos, and of Cephas, and 1 of Christ.” When that which 1s perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. And this iss summation for which we in common with all the people of God wait and watch, and labor. and pray witn infinite desire. Especially and most earnestly do we desire it with reference to the several branches of our Presbyterian Church holding the same symbols of faita, having to so large an extent the same tradition, and the same glorious history. “Atthe same time in their present imper- fectly sanctified state this division of the peo- ple of God into ceparate organizations is not an unmixed evil, but it is often overruled to Promote and maintain their higher spiritaal unity. When real differences of views and sentiments and feelings do exist upon funda- mental points, it is better that these should find expressions in appropropriate outward for us. Organic unity is desirable only so far as it manifests a real unit in spirit and in trath, without which it is but a mockery an‘ a false- hood. And we would regard it asa great ca- lamity where all existing churches with ail ‘their diversities ot form and spirit to be compressed into one heteroge neous and discordant body held together, as in the Papal Charch, by forcible external con- siraint. The experience of our own Church before and since the division has proved con- clueively that the unity of the spirit in the bends of peace was beter secured by their sep- aration than the organic union. And we ac- cept the teachings of this experience is decis- ive thus far, that, unless now agreed upon the pointe which then decided them, the time has Rot yet come for an organic reunion. And we feel constrained to say that in the basis pro- josed by the Joint Committee such agreement is not made sufficiently apparent “AS suggestions, to be of any practica! yalue, should be specific and precise, the Synod would specify the following par Jars in which they regard the terms proposed as defective, “1. On the doc'rinal basis the following Points ought to be clearly guarded: Tne right acd duty of the Church to insist that all her ministers and elders shail receive and adop: the confession of faith and catechisms, not for substance of doctrine only. but in the sense in which we are well known to recetve them, in Oppositicn to the dental of the imputation of the guiltof Adam’s first sin, or of total de- pravity thence resulting as comprehensive, not of the will only, but of the whole morai nature, or of the fall and proper vicarious satisfaction of Christ to justice for His own ople specifically, and the justification of be- ievers by the imputation of his righteousness. +2. The right and duty of Presbyteries to sat- isty themselves as to the soundness of faith of all ministers received by them, ought to be distinctly recognized asa principle for which we asa church have always contended. and which we believe fidelity to the truth requires us stil] to maintain. “3. No representative from churches not Presbyterially organized who have not been ordained ought to be admitted as members of any church court, it being contrary to the con- stitution of the church for any unordained men to act as rolers in the house of God. “4. The Seminaries in which our ministers are to be trained, ought to be under the most immediateand responsible control of the courts of the Church, and we regard it as vital that a Provision securing this should be inserted in the basis of unten. “5, The Board of Publication ought te pub- lish the distinctive doctrines of our system, and the joint committee ought if possible, to specify in the terms of union such publications as are to be dropped from the list.”” «In thus giving expression to our views on this subject, the Synod desires to reiterate its sincere desire for the organic union of the two branches as coon as such union can be effected, on such terms as will promise to secure the future harmony and efficiency of the united body; and in the meantime will rejoice in all manifestations of Christian affection and all interchange ef Christian courtesy between the two bodies.” On motion, the report w:s accepted, and made the order of the day for the afternoon session. Rev. E. A_A. Taylor, from the Committee on Devotional Exercises, submitted a report, ma- king assignment for religious services to-mor- Tow, which will be found else whe! The hour of 120’clock having arrived, the Synod took a recess. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Synod reassembled at | o’clock. The regular order was passed by, and re- ports of Presbyteries called up, when the committee of the Presbytery ot Lewes report- éd that the minutes of that Presbytery were not in the possession of the Synod, and conse- quently could not be exemined. The consideration of the report of the special committee on the subject of the reunion of the old and new school Presbyterian Churches, ‘was reeumed. The report was again read, when Rev. Mr. Williams moved to modify the same by strik- ing out that part which alluded to the past differences in the Church, and which declared that until these differences were adjusted there could be no reunion. ably This amendment was and earnestly op- posed A Rev. Mr. Carter and others. 5 Ga The Rev. Dr. Tustin was in favor of Isying the nies pa per om the table. It was nothing but beantifal and could accomp! nothing.

Mr. Taylor moved ‘o jay the resolution on he table; upon which the yeas and nays were called, resulting as follows: Yeas, 45; nays, Rev. Mr. Whitman meved that there be struck from the report the words “not for substance only, bui;” and upon this motion he briefly addre=sed the Synod. Rev.

[From Le Follet.) 4 According to the great preparatioys being | made in the Paris houses, it appears "that the comipg winter season will abouna in novel- ties. Many new patterns for the make of bodies have been shown »y te modistes. Sat- isfled as they are that the gored skirts will be sull preferred, they think that the bodies might still be rendered a little more varied and grace- ful. They are making them open in front, in “Louis XV.” style, fall bac and tront, cut square or im points, corsele:s a la Princesse, &c Butone thing of which we can speak more decidedly is, that they will be more trimmed than they bave been lately. As for sleeves, we find the wide, open make is grad- ually reappearing. The long drees also, if not made of broche material, is much trimmed, and we see that short costumes are rather more elaborately or- namented than formerly. Thus, frequently the upper skirt will be trimmed witn a jet fringe, headed with an embroidery of jet, ti under skirt merely having an embroide: without fringe. For simpler costume—the m: terial being alapaca, mohair. &c.—both skirts are usuaily just finished off by a plisse of the same, or perhaps lozenges of taffetas, match- ing the color of the aress. Tnese lozenges, made in satin on a taffetas dress, are very pretty. Black taffetas robes are’ still very Mauch (rimmed round the bottom with an em- broidery of jet beads. Short cosiumes of striped velvet are very distingue. These, of course, are quite without trimming, the upper skirt being draped with Jarge buttons or silk cord and tassels. The Marie Antoinetie fichu is universally | admired—indeed, just now it may be called quite «the thing.” Itis made in all kinds of lace. (black and white,) muslin, net, of the sume material as the dress worn, and also of black taffetas prettily trimmed, and has been ‘worn both as out-door and in-dvor dress. For the Jormer, of course the season is now too far advanced, but it seems as much liked as ever, and will retain its piace as in-door cos!um Lace is extremely fashionable, both woule: and silk. Wide ribbons have become so indispensable that they claim special notice in an article on la mode. Tout le mode wear them—ladies, girls, and little boys. They are made of an immense width: seme for ies’ wear ure nearly half a yard, those for children a quar- ter of & yard wide; not to mention the Ltulian scarf, which is still wider, but is made of an extremely soft silk, in several shaded colors, and is merely looped together wichout a bow. It is quite an art to tle the bows of these rib- bon sashes, as the form is of more importance than one might suppose. They must no longer | be tied in two fiat bows as formerly; there must be four—two upper bows like wings, and little boys wear tnem under weir vesis or paletots. However, it is notonly for sashes that ribbon is required: we have it used in the hair, for trimming dresses, and scmetiimes just tied round the upper part of the sleeve, about balf way between the elbow and the shoulder The Chicago Waterworks. The new waterworks building in Chicago are nearly finished. The Republican says the new tower, 175 feet in height, ts entirely fin- ished so faras the stone work is concerned, and the pipe for the water column will ba placed in it before the expiration of the coming week. Astone building having an entrance on each of its four sides, will inclose the lower part of the tower, and when the spires which | ornament each corner and the pillars sur- mounting the entrances are put in position, the whole will torm a beautifal structure, having a atrong resemblance to a splendid monument. A light-house surmount the whole, so that the new works will, beside increasing the capacity of the board to furnish water to the city, act as a beacon to the mariner. ‘The main building ts a tew feet in the rear of the tower, and when finished will contain all | the engines, boilers, offices and sleeping-rooms of the engineers of the works. A new engine | has just been erected whose capacity is to pump 18,000,000 gallons of water every twenty-four hours. 1t will be in readiness to begin its Work by the tume the pipe in the new tower is erected. Connections have been made with all the boilers, three in number, so tnat in case | one needs repairing the work of pumping need Rot stop; and in case one engine gives out the other three can be brought into requisition without delay. The south wing of the main building will be completed before spring, | though it is expected that its use will noteven | then be required. The ground immediately edjoining the works will be cleared and made into a park, 80 thatin years yet to come the Water Works of Ohicago will command notice | as well for their beauty 4nd surroundings as | for their size. | | | | | | | | From Seuth America.
