nation of Mr. Edward B. Kurdish, son of ID.

ment. The council consisted of Pastors and

Street, State Street, Bethel and West Churches,
Portland, and the LIST Church, Westbrook
Rev. DIR. Caruuthers was chosen Moderator.
and Rev. Horatio Ilsley, Scribe.
The examination Of Mr.. Furnish having
proved satisfactory, it was voted to proceed
with the ordination, and to assign the parts
for the services of the same
In the afternoon the services of ordination
took place at the High Street Church. The
18th regiment, commanded by Col. Fessenden,
and accompanied by the Portland Band,
marched in from Camp Lincoln and took seats
In the pews on the lower floor of the Church.
After the soldiers had got seated, the house
was filed to overlooking by the ladies and
gentlemen who had waited outside until the
regiment had entered. The services then pro-
ceeded as follows
Invocation, reading Of scriptures and prayer,
by Rev. Mr.. Southworth of Westbrook.
Singing-"Go preach my gospel saith the
Lord"
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Carruthers from Job
81, 15-@What is the Almighty that we should
serve him? and what profit should we have,

Prior to the benediction the audience Joined
in singing-the Band eadiug-the hymn, "God
bless our native land to the tune of America
The services throughout were of the most
interesting character, and were listened to with
the strictest attention. The ordaining prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Merrill, was fervent and impress
sive. The sermon Of DIR. Carruthers was only
about twenty-five minutes in delivery, but it
was one of his finest efforts. The charge by
DR. Chickering was earnest and faithful. The
right hand OF fellowship by Rev. Mr.. Ilsly was
the gushing out OF warm heart from one
brother to another. DIR. Bosworth, in his adj
dress to the officers and soldiers, was peculiarly
eloquent and happy. The occasion was sol
emn one, and it viii be long remembered.
After the services were over the regiment
again formed, and with the Band, marched
back to the camp.

% One of the newspapers in enumerating
the evils likely to result from the final success
OF the South in establishing their independ-
ence-admitting the possibility of such thing
declares that the beautiful plains of Mexico,
on which no slave has trod since that country
achieved her independence of Spain, win fall
prey to the rapacity of Southern planters,
and slavery be re-established throughout the
land, as State after State becomes annexed to
the Confederacy.
BATON ROUGE Nor GIVEN UP.-The New
Orleans correspondent of the NY Express saws
that Baton Rouge is still held by our gun
boats. The Federal troops have been with
drawn, but there is no rebel force in or near
it. Nor has it been burned. A few buildings
were destroyed as matter of necessity. in or
der that the guns of the fleet might have
fair chance at any rebel force that should at
tempt to occupy the town.
PROMPT FOR AcrIoN.-Capt Rodgers, of
the Galena, now in Hampton Roads, put his
men to test few nights since. All, save
the watch, were swinging quietly in their ham
mocks, when the order was given for all hands
to quarters. In four and a half minutes the
hammocks were slowed away the men dressed,
armed and at their guns, and ready passed
to the Captain.
