Presbyterian Gcneral Assembly-New school.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, May y, ls52
The subject Of church extension again
came up this morning.
Rev DR. Be1nan resumed his remarks He de-
nounced, in emphatic and eloquent terms, the PROPOSE
tiens of the report calculated destroy the unity OF
the Christian church Of Presoyierians Ours the
sphit OF Evaneesm-a union spirit keen-eyed TO dis
Germ the image of Christ everywhere. A spirit which
created the Bible Society, Tract Sunday School and
Home Missionary Societies
He could not join in the work of breaking down 80
wel-tiied system Voluntary regulations for church
government her etofore, have had entire
simply account Of previous church di.sentOns. He
thought this whole movement poor copy of the
Old school Assembly. They have been trying il for
year, and shall consult setrespect by letting /.
alone He concluded his long and eloquent speech by
an earnest dssussive from any div=ive or scctaran
measure
The discussion was further continued by Hon w.
Jcssup, New York.
Rev Mr.. Knox. Of Tome. sad the Church In Western
New. ork had been risrepresented,-they were more
generally Presbyterian than was supposed. If you
wfh to know how they feel on this subject ascertain
the yew OF the pastors Of the churches they think as
the ministers think and the ministers neaTly all in
favor Of Presbyterianism.
Rev Mr. Goss, Of Csyugs, denied this His Presby-
terry had passed special act disapproyns OF Church
Extension
Here, Mr.. Knox attempting to explsn, scene of
confusion ensued, and the Moderator put him down
Mr. Hawley also disclaimed any such control of min
istcre over churches.
Mr. Townsend denied Nj. Knox's statement
Mr. Hail. Of Cherry Valley said amidst stormy inter
ruptions that Mr. knox's statements respecting the
composition OF the churches in Western Newly Jrk
were untrue. The Presbytery Of Tioga had Congre-
eaiional and Presbyterian the Pr-sbytery OF Che

each way Of Cayuga with % churches, one halt Con.

are all constitutional churches, and any schemes

Rev. Messrs Mills and Fisher, of Cincinnati showed
that the report looked dvisve measures that h
only attempted the Developments OF an admitted part Oh
the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church TIE
port was not scheme TO each ecciesicsticis In the
odous attached to thst term, but ecimse and
necessary scheme Of seltderdopment 1t could be
proved moreover, that voluntary societies. not
uoled by the Church, not necessarily free from
wrong tendencies and that Ecclesiastical Boards
not necessarily liable to charges Of this nature Mare
over the wants of the Church for young ministers are
very pressing At one of the Western semnaries last
year there more than one hundred applications
for ministers and only four graduates answer the
demand. The past has abundan;y proved that volun-
tary education societies inadequate and that as
wife men, we must bring our Church organization
such TO bear distinctly this subject Mr.. Fisher in
the strongest terms, dsclamed any wish 10 give up
the Home Missionary and Foreign Missionary Societies,
10 produce any alienation in the minds OF the New
England Churches. They had more nagnauimity tnan
TO feel injured and TO complain merely because tue
General Assembly should choose 10 do part of lis
work which confessed is not done under the present
system
DIR. Stearns, of Newark, N. j., and DR.. Bsman, of
Troy opposed the report strenousy the ground that
it nething less IN effect than the establish
ment of Church Boards, which the very things
against which the New School party protested ia 1884,
DR. spoke in glow ing terms Of the possible disasters
which might epsuc in dividing some Of Churches,
and in estransing from the New England Churches
with which we have go long and tremendously
operated
The debate was arrested by the hour of adjournment
Tomorrow it will he resumed, and Dr. Bsman of Troy,
has the floor Thus far the speakers have exhibited
both courtesy and ability and remarked in nny last
letter, abundance OF very important facts Is being
elected, which will Of themselves pay for the time
sumed 1t is impossible predict how long the sessions
will continue since the threshold of the report is only
gained. do not any prospects Of the report being
adopted at the present don but Of thing am
certain that the Western members are bringing such
an avalanche Of facts upon the Assembly will make
deep impression and in the end viii lead to important
results. This evening Rev DR. Billiard, of 81 Louis,
by appointment of the last General Assembly preached
powerful sermon Home Missions, containing
among other things, able exposition OF the very

Mr.. Editor,-lt may probably be

know the condition Of things ut pres
on. in tho Mountains. Such weather
cs we have had has never been known
in this part of the country, After one
Of the sovorcst winters ever expert.
cnccd, we have looked with much anx-
icty for some which would be more
pleasant; bu, until the prescn, time
we have looked 10 vain. The weather
to-day looks like the very middle oI
Winter. The snow is at present not
lcss than ten inches deep, and still
falling ut u very rapid rate. From the
evening Of the nth till the evening OF
the 18th, We had rain such MS is sci.
dom seen any where, it rnining incos-
sanity in torrents. The waters are rs
high as ever known, il not higher
though so fur as heard from not doing
much damage. The iarmcrs in this
country have not ploushcd a fnrrow,
and, from all appearances it will be
some time before they dn. Stock Of
all kinds arc suffering, and ifthe wea.
,hcr continues much longer as it is.
there will certainly be great loss OF
cattle from want Of provisions 10 sus.
tain them. have already heard Of
many cattle suffering from the bard
weather. 1t is to be hoped that the
weather in your section Of country is
better aud more moderate. There has
not been Il grain Of oats sowcd--nor,
as | said before, tiIrrow pIoughcd to
nv knowledge, and | should not be
surprised il there would not be until
toward the middle of May.

give you history of things more ia
