mutiny. Both officers and men swore they

The SYNOD OF WHEELING was organized
AZ New Lisbon, Ohio, on the 10th, by the
election of the Rev. S. F. Grier, OF Han
cock county, W Va, Moderator, and the
Rev John Marquis, of Steubenville Pres
bytery, Permanent Clerk. A sermon was

the beneficial and happy effects of the
gospel ministr y upon the darkness and
wretchedness of an apostate race.
Two measures of great practical impor-
lance to our region of country shared the
attention of the Synod. The first was the
supply of the extensive and destitute ter
risory of Presbytery of West Va with an
efficient and devoted gospel ministry
That small and infant Presbytery was re-
commended to the Board of Domestic
Missions, and application made for thous
and dollars to be expended wholly within
the limits of our new State as a missionary
fund, and more than this will doubtless be
Contributed by the churches of the Synod
In the course of the year, In aid OF the
great work of supplying the restitution
and cheering the desolation of our State
The second was the project, which now
promises tn be successful of uniting the
i two Colleges of Jefferson and Washing ton,
and out IF the tho making one of the first class
fully manned as to faculty aud fully equip
ped as to library, philosophical apparatus,
Sc.,-an institution, in one word, OF the hrst
order in the country, with all the applian-
ces and advantages for obtaining the high
est culture of mind attainable in any
branch. of the most liberal education. II
this union can be effected between these
two old institutions, so as out of the tlco TO
produce one OF youthful vigor and energy,
with prestige and vital force, that will be a
cower in the community and country for
educs tional and moral influence, then one
inaividua. alone, of great breadth of liber-
atty and love Of sound learning, is pledged,
to q donation of fifty thousand dollars
which, together with the funds and proper
ty already in possession of the two colleges
will make basis of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to commence with. TIL
project, in mere intellectual point ofview
is grand; but when We contemplate tn
probable results Of the establishment @
such an institu ton, under the control, as
will be, of religious principles and Christian
truth, upon the future of our history as
nation and destiny as government, 1t a
sumes an aspect of moral sublimity.

In ser wing God and doing good"

TaK entertainment last night under the
auspices of the Eng. Lutheran Sunday
School, was one Of the most delightful and
interesting ever witnessed in this city. The
Christmas Tree was brilliant. Picture to
yourselves, if you can, u magnificent tree of
evergreen, illuminated with over two hun
dred Jets of gas, and you have faint idea
of the magniAcence of the tree now at
Washington Hall. The singing was truly
glorious. "Coms Holy Spirit" by select
auartetts, was beautifully rendered, whilst
"My Own Native Land" by the school, and
81 want to bean Angel" by the infant class,
were most touching. The Scripture EN-
blems were very attractive, and their ex-
plantations BY Rev. n. Louis Baugher, could
scarcely have been excelled. The reports
Of the Superintendent and Pastor show great
prosperity, on the part of the school during
the past year. Such labors cannot fail 10
be greatly blessed. Tonight will be pre-
ssntsd magnificent crimson silk banner,
from the establishment Of Hartman Bros,
Philadelphia, together with silvered med
ais, &c.
We speak confidently when we say, that
no entertainment ever given in this city,
repaid those who attended it, as the enter
tainmsnt given last night and to be repeat,
cd tonight. Let all 60 tonight, fathers
and mothers should take their chrildrsn,
sisters and brothers should witness this
brilliant and beautiful tree and hear the
delightful singing Of our two hundred chill
