This grave and learned body assembled Thursday at
IL o'clock, A. NJ, in the Second Presbyterian (Dr.
Potts Church. The body of the Church filled
chiefly with delegates 10 the Assembly whilst the gal
leries appropriated to spectators. For the details
of the occasion, refer the proceedings noted
down by reporter. We greatly impressed
with the grave and dgni6ed appearance OF this respec
table and learned body 1t embraces many of the
distinguished dyines of that Church-men. eminent
less for genuine unaffected piey than for learning and
eoquence. To look upon such body Of Christian
men, affords abundant food for thought. There might
have been uniting in common art of devotion,
men with reverend grey locks, and trembling limbs
whose lives have been devoted the of religion
and virtue, and who have become eminent for piety,
meekness charity and other noble attributes that grace
the Christian character. BY the side of these might
have been young men, still in the meridian OF life
but who have already become distinguished for the
Christian virtues that emnently aorn their seniors
To see assembled upon the floor many good
men, consecrated TO religion, enforcing il by their pre-
cepts, and adornng it by their examples, most
solemn and impressive spectacle. The interest Of the
occasion also greatly increased by the reflection
that these ministers of Christ had nther, from all
the various portions of the confederacy. The North,
the South the East and the of the Union,
all represented in this dignied and imposing
bage. Forgetting all sectional divisions; laying aside
all oca. prejudices they have met around common
tions and advancing the Of religion and virtue
In the rasrna union of these Christian men, have
striking illustration Of that civil union which should
bind together the people of these States in common
and cordial brotherhood Around the altar OF
common country, should forget all sectional discords
and swear fidelity to the Union the Constitution and
the iaws.-Sf- Louis Infeligencer.

the following extracts
In favor of the finished portion OF the road both per-

proving character. As hat bar road 1t Is unsurpassed
in permanenee, smoothness, or safety. The - sawed

favorably smoothness pemanency and safety with the
best of roads, with the cs,stly railing. 1t acts
most completely a selfleyeng supersructure; and
under favorable require repair
excepting in the removal of decayed timbeIs. OF this
character OF track II is proposed TO construct the re-
naming portion of the road This plan of track re-
moves entirely the Snakehedd' objection to the fiat

is great and sudden depression in the line Of track

plan OF track, and the belief is confidently
tanned that its cheaPness utility and safety
be generally known, it must smost entirely super
sede the of the heavy iron railing in the Western
States where timber is abundant.
The business of the finished portion Of the road since
its completion the l1th March up to I'd inst, has
