ExCITNG RELIGIOUS Discussion. The New
School General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church now sitting in Philadelphia, says the
Times, having by an unanimous resolution
made proposition to the Old School General
Assembly of the same church, also in session
here now, to meet them in joint celebration
of the ceremony of the Lords supper, the sub
ject on being brought before the Old School
Assembly on Monday, caused warm discus
sion in that body. A majority of the delegates
were strongly opposed to the proposition. The
opposition champions were the Rev. DR.. Ro-
bert Breckenridge, President of Cannonsburg
College, and his brother, the Rev. DR.. VIM. L.
Breckenridge, of Louisville, Ky. The discus
sion had not concluded when the Assembly ad-
ourned in the evening. The matter, it is
feared, may take serious turn for the cause of
religion.

MARYLAND VOLUNTEERS. The Annapolis
e

MARYLAND VOLUNTEERS. The Annapolis
Democratic Star of yesterday, says;
"We understand that the command of the two
regiments of Maryland Volunteers for the
Mexican war, has been rendered by the Gov.
ernor to Col. George w. Hughes, of West
river, Anne Arundel county, who is captain
in the corps of Typographical Engineers of the
U. S. Army, and Col. Charles M. Thruston,
of Allegany county. Both these gentlemen
are every way qualified to lead on the Mary
land Line. Volunteering has been progressing
for some time in this city, for Col. Hughes
regiment, and we doubt not, that the requisite
number of men to form the regiments, will
soon be placed at the disposal of the Pres-
dent"
This is con6rmatory of the information
which we published few days since-but, as
nothing is said of the appointment of Briga-
dier General, we presume that none has been
and we suppose that no occasion would exist
for the selection of such an officer unless a
number of troops amounting to brigude should
be ordsred to be mustered into service.

MECHANICS AT LOUISVILLE. The Louisville
Courier says: "Mechanics of every description

return from their campaign, the situations
which they have just vacated, will almost
without an exception, be again rendered them

GENERAL TAYLOR AND THE PREsIDEHc The
New York Morning News says: 1.-THE meeting
called to nominate General Taylor for the presiden-
cy proved complete failure, not more than forty
or fifty persons having attended it. The Hon.
George Folsom, a native American democratic re-
publican wing, or something Equivalent, was the
formed his duties with all the grace and ease of an
old veteran in such service We have sufficiently
testified our respect and esteem for General Taylor
in his capacity Of military chieftain, and we would
have it understood that remark that could iniure
him or wound the feelings Of his real friends will
ever be recorded by our pen. When the news OF
the silly movement of the night before last shall have
reached him, we are sure that he will express his
entire Interpretation of it. The "natves" have
lost Scott through the unucky nterposition Of a
"hasty plate Of soup" Judge Mclean will not be
their candidate, and now they are endeavoring to
run Gen. Taylor. The trick is palpable.

TO JAMES X. POLK, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES. ...n.
HoNoREp SIR: Let it not seem strange, pray
you, for my laying before this government a few
ideas relating TO the importance of nautical almanac
and astronomical ephemerls, being computed to the
meridian of Washington. First, would ask those
members of the House who voted against the
amendment appropriating g., 900 for the publication
of nautical what advantages they think England
has this, and all other nations, by publishing
nautical almanac for FIVE or six years ahead. It
is a fact that such is the CASE and the advantages
she has the whole world by dong are
many. There is not captain seaman that ever
confronted the stormy seas but respects Britain for
such compliment, be he an American, German,
Mexican, Frenchman, Chinese, of any other
country. All nations under the sun are beholden to
little Britain for their existence on the stormy bill
lows SO you NEED not, Mr. President, WONDER how
il is that she has much control over every part of
the globe. In your very Observatory at Washing
ton, | saw to-day, June l6, Oh. 5h. p. M 1916 Eng
lish nautcas, calculated up TO 1S49. Why not
America try to do likewise? She has talent, and, if
only encouraged, she would soon be able to stand in
front with Britain in every respect; and you would
longer have to send out to that little spot of land
for her astronomical productions, on purpose to for
ward them to your seaports and navy-yards. just
think, Mr.. President, of your situation, and will
to affirm, that shall shortly have as
good nautical almanac as printed in the
land that gave your father and mine birth. / re-
member that Philadelphia was once even without a
common almanac, and all for want of nautical from
England. This circumstance occurred through a
war with that country. Then let us have nautical,
and the country will soon command the attention OF
every nation upon earth, besides being able to main
tain its motto in every respect. IL is useless for me
TO say more at this time: So now, honored SIR, 1
remain your humble servant, and real honorer,

SETTLEMENT OF THE OREGON QuEsTIoN.---At the
time the proposition 10 arbtrate the Oregon ques-
ton was made to our government by the British
minister, the rejection of by Mr. Polk was generally
condemned by the wing press 1t seemed to US all the
while (remarks the N. Y. Evening Post) that their
condemnation was founded rather upon party preju-
dice than calm and elaborate view of all the bear
ings Of the question. But the religious press also,
which is not supposed to be actuated by party
motives, was very severe IN its abuse of the Presl-
dent, for putting off they said, the day of peace
We find now however, that the latter class Of news
papers are willing to confess their mistake, and
avow that the course of the government was the
wsest that could have been taken. One of them,
the Observer, of Saturday last, says:
THE terms of the treaty are not quite so favora-
hle to Great Britain as they were offered by Mr..
Gallatin in 1927, and had our proposal made a
few months ago, been accepted, the controversy
would have been adjusted on quito as favorable
terms at that time.
awe agree with the National Intelligencer in the
opinion that the arrangement will be found to be
just and equitable one, maintaining the honor and
securing the essential rights of both parties; and
this is just what it ought to be- Reasonable men in
both countries will approve it, and good men all
the world will rejoice that has been avert
ed and that the amcabe relations of two great lead
ing nations have been preserved. Certainly it is a
blessing of Providence upon all mankind
"Nations will learn from this result that there is
excellent way Of running lines than with bay
oncts It has been the motto Of our government from
Washington's administration downwarjs, to asl,
nothing but what is right, and adherence TO that
principle will save us from the necessity Of submit
ting to that which is wrong. The reference Of this
vexed question to arbtrators was declined on the
ground that negotiation had not been exhaust
ed, and we have the pleasure Of seeing that the
matter is adjusted much earlier, and with far greater
prospect Of permanent satisfaction than il il had
Ooen left to third party to split the difference in
such way as TO please neither. BAH. Rep
