The Irum0un kTss5ytery on the War.
The ~Presbytery If Trumbull, in session
at Bazetta, Trumluil County. Ohio, this
18th day of SeptemIe Ell, A. D. 1861, feel
ing a deep interest III the welfare of our
common country, AID sympathizing with it
in its present crisis, afflicted as It is with
faction and civil war, adopt, as expressive
Of our sentiments, tl.c following Preamble
and Eesolutiols, viz:
Whereas a portion of the citizens of our
national commonwealth have. without Just
cause. risen up in rebellion against our
government, to destroy it; Therefore:
ResOLred, That, as a Presbytery, we
cherish an abiding and undated attach,
ment to the Constitution and Laws under
which. as a nation, we have hitherto 50
happy and ~prOsperOusly lived.
ResOtred, That We contemplate with
grief and pain the present distracted and
belligerent condition of u country; and
that u prayer is, that those who are at
tempting to overthrow u government may
be brought 10 a better mind, or diseomftted
ResOLred, That, as a P~resbytery, VIC
tender to the President of these United
States our heartfelt sympathy, under :he
mighty trials and responsibilities which
press upon him; and We assure him that
We daily beseach the Great Disposer of all
events. so to guide him in the use of the
army and navy as speedily to bring thi:
unhappy and unhOly rebellion to an end.
Resolred, That we also assure all the
officers and %privates of our amy and navy
that our petitions shall daily ascend to
God, that lie would give them health and
strength, and a holy bOldness, that he
would shield them in the day of battle and
enable them to fulfill their important mis-.
sion to the honor and glory Of his most
holy name.
Restored, That, as a P~rcsbytcry, we
stand ready. in every suitable way, to aid
and cncoula the effort which is now be.
ing made, by our government, to restore
order, loyalty and peace in our nation.
Resolred, That, feeling our dependence
upon God for success in the great struggle
which has been forced upon US; and rea!
izing that by our manifold sins, as individ.
u1ls and as a nation. We have rendered
ourselves unworthy of Gods mcrciful iu-
terposition in our behalf; We do most
heartily respond to the Proclamation of the
President, recommending the observance Of
the last Thursday in September, as a day
of national humiliation, fasting and prayer
ResoLred, That we have read, with
great satisfaction the noble Proclamation
Of our young and gallant General McClcl-
land, touching the observance of the Sab
bath; and hat it would greatly add tC
that pleasure, to have the President Of the
United States issue a similar Proclamation
to all the army and navy.
Resolred. That a certified copy of the
foregoing Preamble and Resolutions be
transmitted by the stated clerk of Presby-
terry to His Excellency Abraham Lincoln.
President of the United States of America
The above was ordered to be published
in the Chronicle, in Warren; and in the
Nahoning Register, in Youngstown.
BY order of the ~Presbytcry of Trumbull

From the Lawrence (Arkansas) Republican,
Sept. Ill
Walter Wilt. just in as an express
from Fort Scott. gives US the following
facts, which mus Speak for themselves.
Last Sunday If moon eighty-fOur mules
and ono horse we've stolen.
Monday mOruiue all the cavalry eOmpa-
MES in the army, under Montgomery. john
son and JennisOn. were sent out to reclaim
the property.
About twelve miles east, they met the
enemy, with the mules in charge. Battle
was given them Immediately Our force
held the ground for two hours against
largely superior fCIcCs, when they were
compelled 70 retire.
The loss on our side was five killed and
six wounded. Among the killed was VIM.
Henry of this place. and three others of
Capt. Stewards company missing.
The retreat was continued to the bluff
on the east side of Fort Scott, two miles
from the city, in the meantime sending for
infantry. Our forces remained there until
eight O'Clock, when they retired to the
city.
At twelve o'clock that night, the city
being deemed untenable by the command
ers present in council, the forces fell hack
to Fort Lincoln, about twelve miles this
side of Fort Scott. taking with them all
the provisions, ammunition, &c that could
be taken away.
Thirty-fve wagons we're sent back to
bring off the remainder, with what result

The estimated number Of rebels is from
six to ten thousand.
They are under the command of Price
and Rains. with seven pieces of cannon.
Our forces are about fifteen or eighteen
hundred.
When about half wy between Fort
Scott and Fort Lincoln. on Tuesday morn

heard distinct and heavy c~annOnading.
Mr.. Willis also brings with him letters
from W. W. II. Lawrence, and dispatches
for Capt. Prince, a~bundantly verifying the
above statement.
Our informant also adds that the resi-
dents Of Fort Scott were preparing to leave,
aud that merchants were Kidding their
stores and burning their goods, to prevent
their falling into the hands of the epemy,

Resolutions of the Trumbull Baptist
Association.


At the recent meeting of the Trumbun
Baptist Association held at Hubbard, the
following resolutions were passed after a
spirited debate, and ordered to be publish
ed in the papers of the county as their
voice in the present crisis.
The Special Committee upon the state
of the country would report
WHEREAS, We are in the midst Of the
greatest calamity that can befall a nation
civil war; and whereas the object of
this most wicked and causeless rebellion
is to subvert cur free institutions-to take
away all safety of person and property,
and overthrow the best government the
sun has ever shone upon; and which if
successful, must last the hopes of the
poor and oppressed of the wOrld-destroy
their confidence in the capacity of man
for self-government-and turn the dial of
human progress many degrees backward
therefore
ResoLced lst. That the present crisis
in our national affairs is, in Importance,
beyond the power of language to describe
that its results for good or evil will be
as enduring as time itself-that the issue
at stake is no less than civil and religious
liberty; and we believe the Lord will not
hold US guiltless if we withhold any effort
or expenditure to hand down uninpaired
to our children, the priceless blessings We
hold in trust from our fathers.
Resolred I'd, That the Christian minis
try KAYE much to do in directing and
strengthening public sentiment in this cri-
sis. in a healthy and Christian element;
and that they are bound in civil as well as
in spiritual things, when they see the
sword coming, to lift up their warning
voice as they shall answer to-God.
ResOlred Sd, That in its prompt and
vigorous efforts to preserve the ULiOn and
suppress rebellion and treason, the Gov
ernment at Washington shall have our
earnest sympathy and prayers; our hearty
approval and cooperation.
ResoLred 4h. That We are opposed to
all compromise with armed traitors, be-
lIeYlng that unconditional submission to
the Constitution and laws Of our country
is a duty which our government has both
the right and the power to enforce.
ResoiUed 5H, That We recommend to
our churches to observe by suitable public
exercises the 25th day of Sept. the day
set apart by the President as a day of
fasting and prayer for the country, and We
urge. every member of our churches to oh
serve the day by abstaining from secular
employments, and by earnest prayer, fast
ing and humiliation before God.

De summing up s IS follows:
Ths National Loan.

As will be seen by his advertisement in
another column, Mr.. H. B. Perkins. has
been appointed Subscription Agent, for
Trumbull County, to receive subscriptions
to the National Loan. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say to all those who are prevented
by circumstances. from aiding their cOun-
try by their personal service as soldiers on
the battle field. that they can almost as at
f~ectually serve it by providing th' sineWs
Of war, without which tAe government can
not move. and the arm Of the soldier will
be palsied. The rate Of interest offered,
is exceedingly liberai;-7 $40 per cent
payable scmi-annually,) or n cent per
day, for each City dollars. or two cents per
day for one hundred dollars. This being
exempt from State taxation. renders it
fully equal to S per cent. per annum' IN
the country generally, and equal to
nearly eight and a half per cent II
cities and incorporated towns
The treasury notes Icing beyond all
question. perfectly safe. this is certainly a
most desirable investment. Another Tea
ture in their favor is the case and certainty
with which they can be converted into
money at any time. for they can scarcely
fail to be, in the future. at all times, a de-
sirable investment with capitalists. IN
less the government should be utterly
crushed they must lie safe, and if it should
be subverted then there IS no safety for
any kind of property.
The Subscription book will be opened at
the Western Reserve Bank. on Tuesday the
first day Of October, and remain open for
fifteen days
