ternal kindness, he declined the most pressing
invitations to 90 forth on any such mission, and
he had the lrofoundest conviction that all
which Ireland, England, or America would or
could do, was utterly insignificant as compared
with what Scotland could do and ought to do
for herself
Those bursts of feeling, which it was so
pleasant TO witness or excite would IN year
or two subside. and the contributions begotten
by them would die away in ike manner To
meet all the necessities of her position, it was
proper and needful that the Free Church
should avail herself of them to the uttermost.
They served, besides, a higher and more endu-
ring object, that of binding together the
churches in the bonds of brotherly unity,

REV. R. j. BRECKENRIDGE, D. D.

A minister of the Synod Of Virginia, belev
inc that DR.. Breckenridge never uttered the
sentiments published in the Louisville Courier
in 1862, as part of his speech at a camp of
Union soldiers in Kentucky, has written to him
upon the subject.
Dr. B. in his reply, now before us, says: L
never made any such speech or statements, any
where: and never preached, or spoke publicly
at old Camp Nelson, Tor Camp Dick Robinson
or New Camp Nelson in my life. y
He says, that the extract from the Louisville
Courier sent him was "a mere forgery from
beginning to end.
DR.. B. S correspondent at whose request we
publish this denial, failed to send us the ex-
tract. Our readers will probably remember it.
1t was published, as this brother reminds us,
in the Central Presbyterian without note, or
comment, and credited to the Louisville Con-
rier. In the political papers very severe STRIFE
lures were made upon 1t. If our memory is
correct. it was to the effect that the rebellion
must be crushed if it cost the blood Of every
man, woman, and child in the South. We
are glad to find that DIR. B. dc not use the
language ascribed to him, and hope that his
denial will be as extensively COPE. as that was.
This paragraph without the Publication Of
his very offensive letter, or the judicious one
of the brother who has sent it to us, embraces
all the material points of the case, except DR..
BIS prouiSo, which we give in his own words:
- Y on viii not understand me as desiring TO

them. If called with any reasonable prospect
of support There are other ministers and
churches, who have been accustomed to re-
ceiye aid from these Committees, that are
struggling now under heavy burdens, which
they see not how they can bear, for month";
or even week longer. There are other
churches still, so very much reduced IN their
pecuniary resources, that they now ask the AID
which they once literally gave to the Mission
ary Committees In many parts OF the coun-
try the houses of worship are in such condl-
ton they cannot be occupied during the win
ter. and in other places they have been entirely
destroyed. Who will inaugurate standard OF
liberality commensurate with the exlgencies OF
such condition?
Prominent also among the aims Of Domestic
Missions is the support Of EvangeGstic labors.
In East Hanover Presbytery we have derived
inestinable advantages from the labors Of the
two whom the providence of God has given us.
In Greenbrier Presbytery, as We are informed,
the visits of a single brother, who went from
congregation to congregation during the first
trying crisis which resulted from the fall OF our
late Government, to inquire into the condition
of each and excite them TO harmonious and
energetic action have been found to issue IN
most important benefits to the whole OF that
field These brethren messengers Of the
churches, whose labors have carried blessings
wherever they 20, are commended by every
consideration of regard for the cause of Christ
to the Kindness of His people. We earnestly
hope they will not be forgotten, but that special
donations may be furnished for their cOmforta-
bic support; and to enable them to continue
in that sphere of duty in which they have al
ready done so much to cheer the hearts of
Christians, bring souls in the fold of the good
Shepherd, and promote the general welfare
and prosperity Of Zion.
We are glad to know that some kind friends
have directed their benetactions towards their
support.

months old-on the alley between Fifth. and

His wife is represented as virago of the
worst kind, and consequently they did not live
together on the best of terms. Some time in
February last, he left the city for few days,
and during his absence, bis wife advertised him
as runaway. Upon his return he went to his

his wife, without attracting public attention, and
apparently in harmony. On Sunday night they
retired TO bed, nothing having occurred during
the day or evening to Indicate that Mrs. Il. had
matured in her mind the ieudish design which
she put into execution during the night. About
one clock in the morning. while her husband
was fast asleep, she arose from the bed, got a

ot her husbands body which, according to the
old Levitcal law, would exclude him from the

THE State Sentinel asserts, in substance, that
JEFF. Davis aud his rebel associates are not re-
sponsible for the sufferings and death of Union
prisoners at Andersonville, and other Southern
prison pens. but that the real criminals are Mr.
lincoln and his Cabinet-Evansville journal.
The Sentinel never asserted anything of the
kind. If the Journal will publish the Sentinel
article to which it refers, its readers will then be
able to judge whether its conclusions are just or
not. There is no danger however, of It's doing
this. for the Republican party during the last
four years has depended upon misrepreseating its
political opponents for existence. The Repub
lican habit of lying has become chronic
