~ Stephan Gard, the wealthy capital
ist Of Philadelphia, said jus. prior to his
death that he made his money by adrertis
ing. The best advertising firm which we
have upon our books, is the house Of Ham
merslough Bros, and we will just say in
brief that no firm ever came into this town
and sprang at once into the full tide OF
successful trade, as has the widely known
firm of Hammerslough Bros. Whether
because they are superior business men to
other of our citizens, let the people Judge.
We presume that while they do not assume
that to themselves, they take credit to
themselves Of being more shrewd in regard
to the advantages Of advertising. Sec their

Response of The President.

The Evangelist publishes the following
communication from the Secretary OF
State, in reply to the letter addresfed by
the late General Assembly, New School,
to the President of the. United States:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, June 9, 1862.
To the General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church ofthe Unitep State. Holding It's annual
session IN the city of Cincinnati:
REVEREND GEyTEEMEN:-I have had the
honor of receiving your address to the
President of the United States and the
PROCEEDINGS of your venerable body on the
subject of the existing insurrectIon, by
which that address was accompanied.
These papers have been submitted to
the President. am instructed to convey
to you his most profound and grateful ac-
acknowledgements for the fervent assuran-
ces of support which they contain. For
many years hereafter, one of the greatest
subjects to felicitate on among good men
will be, the signal success of the Govern
ment of the United States in preserving
our Federal Union, which is the ark of
civil and religious liberty on this conti-
nent and through the wourld. All the
events of our generation which preceded
his attempt at revolution, all that shall
happen after it, will be deemed unimport
ant in consideration of that one indispens-
able and Invaluable achievement. The
men of our generation, whose memory
will be the most honored, will be they who
thought the most earnestly, prayed the
most fervently, hoped the most confident
", fought the most heroically, and suffer
ed the most patiently, in the sacred cause
of Freedom and Humanity. The record
of the action of the Presbyterian Church
seems, to the President, worthy OF Its ira
ditions and its aspirations, as an import
ant branch of the Church founded by the
Savior of men.
Commended our yet distracted country
to the interposition and guardian care OF
the Puler and Judge of nations, the Pres
ident will persvere steadily and hopefully
il Inc great work committee to his hands,
relying upon the virtue and intelligence
of the people of the United States, and
the candor and beneyolence OF all good
men.
i have the honor to be- reverend gen
tlemen, your very obedient servant,
WILLIAM II. SEWARD.

Matters Before Richmond.

Capt. Proctor, who arrived in Boston TIE
20th from the army Of Gen. Mcclellan be-
fore Richmond, and was attached to the
division of Gen. Franklin, estimates the
force under Gen. Nc Clellan, from the ra-
tions given out daily, as high as 100000 ef-
fective men, all ready for the contest and
sanguine of their ability to fight their way
into Richmond. Gen. Mcclellan, he
states, is not erecting entrenchments ex-
eept in one or two places where an attack
from the rebels is apprehended. Beaure-
gard is not believed to be in Richmond.
A letter from New Bridge, June 18th,
says Richmond is being surrounded closer
and closer-that Gen Mcclellan has moved
his headquarters across the ChickahomiHy,
and now lies within FIVE miles of Richmond,
his advanced posts at that point being
much nearer.

The boats from the Conestoga, which

State Union Convention.

The Xenia Torch Light is now published
and edited by w. 7. Bascom, Esq, so long
the efficient member and Secretary of the
Republican State Central Committee In
publishing the call for a Union State Con-
yention on the 2lst of August neXt-a call
''as broad and general as was the call of
last year, and which was endorsed by the
people with a majority of over fifty thou
sand for its nominees" that able journal
remarks:
The same reason that induced patriots
of all parties last year to lay aside party
trammels, and to come together on one
broad platform of hearty support of the
Government in its war with traitors against
itsvery existence, continues with increas-
ed force at the present time. In common
with others we regretted that as an organ
ization, the Democratic party did not last
year accept the very fair and patriotic
offer of the Republican State Central
Committee. The result, however, showed
that from ten to twenty thousand of the
bestand most loyal men of that party,
refused longer to follow the onrrnpt and
selfish dictation of their former partisan
leaders, but enrolled themselves in the
ranks of the great Union party, pledged
and to the last extremity. These patriots,
united with the Republican party, and
forming the new and vigorous party &C.
the Union, have stood by the flag of our
fathers, and have nobly defended it against
the open and armed traitors from without,
and from the secret, but not less guilty,
reprehensible sympathizers with rebellion
from within. In this terrible struggle
there are, and can be, but two parties
those who are for the Government, and
those who are against it. There are no
natrals in this war. We must sustain the
government We must put down this
great and bloody rebellion. The man or
the party that stands alOof; that criticises
and finds fault with this and that measure,
but extends no aid nor counteuance to
those who are placed in the van of our
country's defence, must be content totake
the pllce which history will inevitably
assign to such, and that will be but little,
if any, below the rank of traitors with
arms in their hands The Democratic
party, as political organization, to-day
takes its place with the sympathizers with
treason. 1t arrays itself openly against
the Government 1t finds fault with its
men and its policy, while 1t has not word
of fault to find, or terms of reproach touse
against the deadly enemies of the nation.
Its leading papers and men are quoted
by the rebels as evidence of such dIvi-
ded sentiment at the North rs to Justify !
them in their continued opposition to the
Government by armed force. Who does
not know that such papers as the Ohio
Statesman and Cincinnati Enquirer, and |
such men as Vallandigham and his follow
ers in Congress, are to-day doing the cause
of the Union more damage than half
dozen regiments of rebels in arms?

Emancipation in Missouri.

The Emancipation Convention just held
at the capital of Missouri was attended by
l9j delegates, representing twenty-five
counties. The deliberations of the Con-
vention were harmonious, and the organi-
zation of an Emancipation party in Mis-
souri, was accomplished. The Convention
did not recommend details; it proposed
only the immediate Inauguration OF a sys-
tenn of gradual emancipation; recognizing
the propriety of compensating the owners
of slave property for any damage they may
sustain. @
The men engaged in the cause in Ms
souri, are many OF them known and hon
ored citizens; and a considerable number,
it not majority, of them are slave holders.
The Missouri Democrat publishes full re-
port of the proceedings of the Convention,
and says-''The movement has begun aus
piciously; it will terminate in the enfran-
chisement of Missouri before 1890.
