CHURCH OF THE INCARNATION. Loteresting Lecture by Bishop Ktp, of Calt- * fornia, Tye regular service for Sabbath morning at the Church of the Incarnation was euriched by @ lecture from Right Rev. Dr. Kip, of Califorma, the subject of his discourse being the missionary work accom- plished by the Protestant Episcopal Church in that State, the many dificuities it nad vo overcome and what means were necessary now to speed on tts labors for propagating the Gospel. The right reve- rend gentleman commenced his lecture by giving a description of the geograplucai extent of his diocese, comprising the whole State of California. Its size, he said, was but little known in the Eastern States. Ita shore line on she Pacific extended over a distance pe _ from south to north, and it covers 300 m! @ direct lis would run from Boston in "Massachusetts “10. Bavai- nah in Georgia, and yet for go large a diatrict of our own country the means provided for missionary labors were ere in the extreme. The reverend puke then referred to the ous hist of the te. Until the close of- the century {t was a wild waste, overrun by savage bands of Indians, Roman Catholic Fran missionaries, clscan monks, first entered it from Mexico, establishing themselves in several places. The) rants goverument ia bpalt and iseacad ts in c grant e Most fertile portions of the State, erected their convents, planted schools, applied ‘iculture, drew around them the ey educated in their own way i and to some in civilized life. the Yerrtory St preseat within tho limits of she sae present w! e Limits e of Califo: and even now the old missionary in valleys and on hills and by the side \d he instanced the of ti rivers, can be seen, and he “mission ef San Gabriei,”’ with its old, im- bi of the examples, and gave a vi description of its stately ‘had once been athye fei on im en peo} usani ° dians.

The discovery of gold brought. in arush of people, fortune seekers, from il parts of «the world, ani the growing prosperity of the State took its inception from that moment. The reverend Jecturer:then teelingly referred to the occasion when, fifteen years he landed at San Francisco as the Missionary Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the first ciergyman of that denomination who ever set foot on Ca'ifornia soil, when, aa in Canada once, the Catholies at that time were stiilin control. He then de- scribed the character of the population, lung together from all sections of the globe. There were infidels and apostates from Europe, unfeeling and unmindiul of the monitions of the Gospel. ‘There were pagans, the Chinese, 6,000 of them in San Francisco, and 60,000 more ag over the whole State, who keep to their pagan faith, and even stipulate that in case of death their bodies should be returned and buried in Chinese soil. And then there are our own coun- trymen, and among these many of the Episcopal Church who had grown weak in the faith and re- lapsed, so that true reiigious Christian sentiment had becorfie almost extinct, ‘The cause for thia retrogression was obvious. It Was the want of the benign and refining influences of woman, of childhood and of old age. The tirst immigrants and settlers in the State were all grown men of stalwart health, with the fear of death far removed from their minds, and bent on gaining worldiy goods. There were no women, the best pro- moters of the Gospel, to exert their ennobling influ- ence; the purity and innocence of childhood was not there to soften the hearta of the sturdy people; old age, with its whitening hair and tottering lunbs, was not seen to remind the population of the grave and of the life nereatier. Amid ail these opposing ctr- cumstances what means had the bishop to assisi him in his holy work? None whatever, He had not solitary cl in to help him, and for the Church the whole Stale was @ spiritual waste. Fifteen Pog) had now passed, and what is the condition of he Church now? .

Those intended for the Church must ve knowledge su ir to those whotn they teach, as weil aa varied faculties of discourse to enabie them to communicate the needful truth clearly and forcibly. in conclusion the reverend gentleman earnestly adverted to the large fields yet open for missionary labor, and strongly ui upon those = the necessity of Biving substantial Soppcts those institutions which furnished ministers to ail parts of the world, The services terminated shortly after nine o'clock. REV. S. H. TYNG, JR, IN JERSEY CITY, Sermon at the Wigwam—Five Thousand Persons Present. ‘The congregation which assembied at the Wigwam, iu Jersey City, yesterday afternoon numbered fully 6,000 persona, attracted by the announcement that Kev. S. H. Tyng, Jt, Would preach. The platform | ‘waa occupied by the choir, under the direction of D. S, Gregory, Jt., a8 well as by several clergymen. Rev. Dr Ty on being roduced Seaounced ag his text the jifth and sixth verses of the third mischief cansed by one small member of the te preacher proceeded to generalize on the Weiglity consequences that flow from trivial be- ginnings. ‘Two years ago he stood on one of the vast praifies of the West, Which wag covered with dried verdnre; for miles not an object intervened end fat beyond was a hamlet.

A Convocation in “An Upper Room.” ‘The Free Methodists, a small body of worshippers numbering about fifty persons, asseubled yesterday morning in an upper room of the butiding corner of Fighth avenue and Eighteenth street, for the pur- pose of engaging in divine service. They announce that they “‘are a body of Christigns who profess to be in earnest to get to heaven. ‘They do not betieve that either God or the Bible has changed to accom- modate men or the fashionable tendencies of the age. The conditions of salvation, as they teach, are the same now that they were cizbteen hundred years Rev, Mr, Henderson, who conducted the services, announced as his texta part of the first chapter of the Acta of the Apostles, “But ye shall receive power,” &c. Power, he proceeded to say, Was aD acquisition which at atl times bad commanded a cer- tain amount of attention and respect, whether it be manifested ip @ muscular or physical manner or in the magnetié psychological development of mteliec- tual attainment, its possession was only to be secured by Abe jon, study or training, A proof of the attrac! of ahigh development of power could be seen in the anxiety with which a large class awatt information concerning prize fights, Paul, the apostle, so far as we were informed, was not. @ man of great stature, but he must have been a man of robust constitution and physique, and in addition to that possessed, before his conversion even, & still a oe in the fact that he was a man fa- mi with the laws and customs of surrounding nat and all that knowl which tn those days tended to make a man But it was not till after ic had received the power of the Holy Ghost that he became what he subsequently proved himself to be—one of the most imperial men that ever lived. This power, the Scriptures said, we “shall” receive; it was a glorious promise made to and great tigi butts possanion and enjoyment m 5 bul jon and enjoyment were made conditional aud subject to terms on our part. ‘The devotions concluded by all kneeling in prayer, several persons praying audibly, aud almost all pre- sent indulging in the most vehement ejuculatory demonstrations of the effect of the services. The assemblage was dismissed with a benediction. (MAY CHRISTIANS QANCEY Neruron by Rev. Mr. Wurd at the Allen Street Church. “May Ohristians dance? formed the subject of a lengthy, sermon delivered by the,Rey. Mr. Ward at the Allen street Methodist Kpiscopal church yester- day morning. The speaker remarked that it was necessary to lay aside all prejudices and precon- ceived notions before entering upon the question, and in order to discuss it properly and thoroughly it was also necessary to fix the status of this particu- larly pernicious amusement aud to show its relations to Christian men and women. The speaker,did not want to say anything about balls and public terpsi- chorean displays, but to speak of the dance as prac- tused by family circies in private pariors to the lascivious music of the piano. On the hy- pothesis that “If is is wrong in the private parlor it 18 Wrong in panic ussemblies,’’ the preacher fear- lessly asse: that dancing was wrong everywhere. Many young ladies have asxed, ‘What more harm in Se agen iy greet rope or playing cro- quet?” The reverend gentieman disposed of this simpie but pertinent question with the profound re- mark that “things which are innocent in themselves may become wicked by associations and surround- ings.” By way of making the application of this truism more apparent the preacher said:—‘Horse- back riding is healthy exercise, but horse racing is sinful. Then again, writing is a very necessary ac- Copplishinent, but forgery is a crime.'’ The Bible a not sanction the lascivious “round dances’ now so popular with young people. The Scriptures speak of David dancing before the ark and the daughters of Israel dancing by themselves, but in no place do we read of men and women dancing to- gether. It is highly immoral for the sexes to mix together in this diversion, ana dancing would soon RR out of fashion if this dangerous practice were pro- bited. Having at length arrived at the conclusion that dancing was unwholesome to the mind the paator discussed its effects upon the , and de- cided that it was demoralizing m every way and altogether inconsistent with the practice of Gurls tianity. MADISON SDUARE CHURCH. Sermon by Rev. Dr. Adams, A very large and fashionable congregation assem- bled yesterday evening at Madison square church, where @ temperate and eloquent sermon was preached by Kev. Dr. Adams on “Protestantism—Its Nature and influences.” The learned doctor took up, seriatim the various chai advanced against the and practice of doctrine testuntism, and argued that the Reformation, though not without certain non-essential errors, confei more and Pa alk benefits on the human race than any kind of a jus movement that has ever taken it lifted up mankind to a iiguer spirituai and temporal level, made in ust Ey art, science, freedom and all enlightenment fi anid showed a better and clearer pathway to God and to salvation. He contradicted the asser- tion, so prominently made use of by certain ecclesi- astics, Protestantism is @ fatlure—a failure be- cause of abuaes that have crept into its midst. for depen eee as those advanced the oreed ao rmation Christianity itself might be pronouns @ failure, the science of republican gov- ernment @ failure because it is not ly free ingredients introduced into its practice and yet wholly foreign to the pure and primitive design.

Laying of the Coruer Stone of the St. Vincent de Paal Orphan Asylum. Some few years ago the good fathers attached to the Church of St, Vincent de Paul, in West Twenty- third street, founded an asylum in which the orphans of French parentage might be cared for. The asy- luu thus founded was piaced under the direction of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, who were also in charge of the seiect school attached to the church, A house adjoining the pastoral residence on Twenty- fourth street was engaged and fitted up, but ere many months had it was found to be ae too small to accommodate those who appiled for ad- mission and whose condition was such as to commend them strongly to the sympathy and protection of the sisters in charge. ‘Two large liouses on West ‘Twenty-sixth street were then engaged, and the doora bel thrown to orpuans and half orphans without distinction of nativity or creed waa in a short time completely filled. Applications for admission were still $0 numerous that it Was thought advisable to erect an establishment more fitted to LaF an) pe of an asylum, and which would accom. modate at least 400 or 500 childres. A piece of property on Thirty-ninth street, just west of Seventh avenue, Was purchased for the sum of $30,000, plans and specifications prepared and the work at ouce commenced, Yesterday asiernoon the corner stone was laid in the presence of an immense assembiage. A iarge platform waa built over the area of the new building, on Which were the children at present be- longing to the a’ylum and a large crowd of visitors, ‘The street windows and housetops in the neighbor- hood were ali crowded, and the utmost interest was evinced in the proceedings. After the dedicatory psalm had been chanted and the foundation of the institution asperged the Kev. Father Lafont read from a parchment scroll a record of the occasion, ther with the names of Ihe sovereign poutiT and the ecclesiastical and political chiefs of the country, State and city and of the trustees and patrons of the asylum, ‘The scroll was placed in the box, in Which were copies of the principal journais of the day, specimens of coin and Rane mon gf and dociments of interest, ‘The box was deposited In the place prepared for tt and the upper section of the stone securely fastened on, Vicar General Starrs then addressed the assemblage, giving briefly the history of the asylum substantially as stated above, ‘Tho building to be erected on the site WIN be 118 feet front by 50 in depth, with a chapel at the rear, It will by of brick, with Onto /stoue trim: It. is inteuded to accommodate 600 children, ‘The total cose will be nob far from $150,000. ‘ NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1868. WASHINGTON. MOVEMENTS OF GENERAL GRANT. Hts Entire Cabinet Decided Upon. Ben Wade in Expectancy of the Treasury Porifolio. . WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 1863, The Arrival of General Grant—Troubles of Reporters, The very quiet arrival of the President elect last evening, unexpected by most of Ina friends and en- tirely unknown to the community in general, has be@a the talk of the town all day. How did he do it? everybody asks; how did he manage the trip so secretly, and how, above all, did he succeed im elud- ing the vigilance of the Black and Blue Boys, who had resol ved to “Hail to the Chief” with the most boisterous demonstrations of affection on his arrival atthe depot? The Black and Blue Boys had deter- mined to stand no refusal from the General. His letter begging to be let alone was nothing to them. They had made their arrangements, gathered a nice little purwe to defray the expenses, and with their eyes on big fat offices in prospect, why should they suffer themselves to be disappointed? They would'nt do it by no manner of means. Grant couldn't see it in the sante light, Having anticipated the kind of reception im store for him here, and being averse anyhow to noisy demonstrations, he hit upon the plan of dropping in unexpectedly, and by arranging with the railroad companies for special trains all the way was enabled to execute his design with complete success, When the train reached tue depot here at a quarter past eight P. M. there were few people about, not more than twenty or thirty aito- gether, and the General, slightly disguised—not, however, in Scotch cap and military cloak, like Lincoln, nor in female togyery, like Jet? Davis, but in plain citizen’s dress, with & broad-brimmed slouched hat drawn far down over his forehead and eyes and a little cape over his shoulders with its collar fastened up about tus aeck—slipped cautiously from the train to the street, Jumped in the first hack he met ana directed the driver to move off rapidly toward 1 street, The rest of his party followed close after the General aud were equally successful mm escaping observation, Thus General Grant unostentatiously entered Washington and reached his dwelling house on 1 street without a sou! knowing about it, except the people who accompanied him from Galena and the conductors of the train, It was fully two hours later when in some mysterious manner the fact reached a few newspaper offices and reporters were sent fying through the city to bunt particulars. Three reporters one after the other reached the General’s house alter ten o'clock, and the experience of each was about the same. ‘The house was nearly all dark and a solitary sentinel passed up and down the sidewalk. “General Grant arrive to-night, sentinel ?"” “Yes, sir.” “Anybody come with him? * eyes, Bt “How mi id “Six or on, sit? “Who were they “Don't know, sir.’? “Any crowd or disp'ay when he arrived @ “Not a d—d bit, sir.” Devilish clever trick that of Boss Grant?" “You bet I"? Fatiing to extract comtort or knowledge from the laconics of the sentinel, reporters opened operations on the hall door. After two rings at the bell the hall door opened and a colored man appeared with @ cautious air; he was handed cards and told to give them to General Grant. ~The General has retired, sir, very much fatigued after his long journey,” blandly asserted the colored man. > “Any of his staff here ¢”” “Yes sir; but they are gone to bed too, sir,” bow- ing very politely. “Anybody up who came back with General Grant?” “The whole house, sir, except the help, have re- tired, sir.” Reporters thought it was time to retire also from the vicinity, and proceeded to the depot where the meagre points telegraphed to you mat night were gleaned from conversations with railroad people. Movements of General Grant on Sunday-Ben Wade Expecting the Treasury Portfolio. General Grant spent to-day very quietly and did not venture forth fram the security of his house until late this morning, when be attended divine service at the Foundry Methodist Episcopal church. Alter service was over tne General sought his head- quartets, where he employed afew hours in com- pany with one or two members of his staff in con- versation, and towards the latter part of the after- noon he returned home. The remainder of the day and evening was spent there with a few fricnds. The General, it appears, received no official calls and very few vialts from poljtical friends anxious to be mong the first to congra' him on his safe return, and another little matter that they rarely fail to meation. The majority of the visitors to eral Graut’s residence to-ley were representa. of the press see! to ascertain whether any new points in the history of the country had been established that neeaed recording. These gentlemen, however, re to depart as wise as whon they came} for it wah impossible to gather any tntel- ligence of the General's movements at his residence. It was perfectly evident that the silent cor er had laid injunctions of goorecy on everybody wur- rounding him, and as far 4s the General himself was concerned he was atterly inaccessible. The numer- ous inquirers were met at the door by a white female attendant, who seemed to be thoroughly impressed with the understanding that the General had no desire to see anybody, and who persistently declined to be the medium of communica- tion between the General and bis callers, Judging from the care General Grant has exercised since his return to avoid being questioned there can be no doubt that the reticence he has hitherto practised tn regard to his policy will be continued In full force In relation to his preferences for prominent oMices. None except his moat intimate and trust- worthy friends know anything about bis course in the fature, and they have been abundantly cautioned to sence. Old Ben Wade had been taking a leaf out of Grant’s book, He is attempting to play reti- cent and avoid the correspondents. Ha dropped tn here with Grant on Saturday and has kept shady ever since. Wade joined the party at Columbus and kept with them tncog unti the arrival here. The last position for which the veteran statesman is mentioned i# po less than the freasury. Doo't he wish he may get it? Tt is saic to-night that Grant has aiready agreed upon his enure Cabinet, Awther Democratic Flank Movement Pro« poned=(irant to Keceive the Unanimous Vote of the Electoral College. ry The movement in favor of giving Grant the unani- mow vote of the Electoral College seems to be as suming ® shape that promises results, severai democratic politicians, mostly from the South, have put their heads together and agteed to recommend to tae Bloctors of the States which have given Sey- mor @ majority to cast their votes in favor of Grant for President. They arge this step ag a grand stroke of policy for the democrats to adopt at the present juncture. By casting aside party considerations in this instance aud giving Grant a unanimous vote for the Presidency they conteud he would be lifted above all petty distinctions of democrat, republican, couservative and radical, and made to feel that he w the President of the whole people and aa such free to deal with the issues of the hour pirit of en- Jarged and liberal statesmandhip. Actin npoo this idew—which, by the way, was throwa out in these despatches some weeks ago-—these detnoctatic poli- tctans have prepared # namber of letters, addressed to leading men North and South, suggesting the prompt adovtiqn of thie pla The following le a copy of one of these letters whtch fas been shown tome WASMINGTON, D. O., Nov. 8, 180%, Geyexat—tn my judgment the wisest thing the democracy could now do would be to throw their entire electoral vote for General Grant, ax iudicative of the fact that should he pursue a liberal, generous and magnanimous course they will sustain hin, It would also have the effect of not leaving him al- together in the hands of the adverse faction, aud would doubtlegs strengtheu any purpose he may en- tertain vot the conseryatlve seutiment of the country. This vote cannot possibly do Seymour any good, and thrown in the manner suggested would ‘at least produce a conciliatory Impression, Letters similar to this have been sent to Covernor Stephenson, of Kentucky; A. H. Stephens, of Georgia; Wade Hampton, General Gordon, Genera! Preston, Robert Tyler, of Alabama, and ex-Senstor C, C. Clay, ‘These are all Southerners, but am informed prowi- nent democratic politicians in ihe North have also been notified of the movementand urged to. go into it promptly, Whether the movement will really amount to anything or not remains to be seen. The same objection is made to the project as was urged against a change of front after the October elections, namely, that to vote for Grant will involve a demor- alization, rank aud die, of the democratic party. ‘The answer that the new movement party make to this objection ts that the condition of things is such now as to require extraordinary action. The national risk is immineat, casting a few electoral votes for Seymour is a more barren compliment, whereas giv+ ing the unanimous vote of the Electoral College to Grant is insuring the friendship of the next Presi- dent for the suffering peuple of the South. + The Meeting of Congress To-Morrow.
