THR CONGREGATIONAL CoSvBETIoN AT
BuRLISaToN,-0n Wednesday the Re-
port of the Directors of the Domestic
Missionary Society was read which
states the number OF missionaries now
employed at 40, who labor in churches
aggregating about 1900 members. There
have been III additions TO these church
es, and a net gain of 81, Two churches
heretofore assisted, have become self
supporting, There are IA other feeble
churches destitute of regular preaching,
and six more will soon be without min
listers. In the itinerant department,
there have been 81 laborers employed in
Is fields.
The report recommended that Mis-
sionary Committee be appointed by each
County Conference, to investigate and
recommend ACTON to the churches OF
the county; AMI it especially called at
tention to the disturbances of employ
ing missionarie, among the rapidly in
creasing Fren;h population of the
State.
A resolution was introduced by Rev
Mr., Leavitt, recommending the selec'
ton of laymen, who, after brief theo
logical instructions, should be intro
duced into the ministry. TWAS referred

THE LINCOLN MEDAL IN FRANCR.-The
French Government has FASTENED to cor
rect the mistake of over Jealous officials
in suppressing the popular subscription
to the Lincoln Medal. The Constitu-
tional of the 9TH inst says;
Several journals have spoken of a
seizure effected at the house of M. Rig.
ollet, of Chauvlgny, (Vienne, J on the oc-
casion of subscription list being opened
for medal in honor Of Mr. Lincoln.
This seizure occurred solely in conse-
quence of an application of the regula-
tions concerning hawking, requiring a
previous authorization, which had not
been demanded. But the adm;nistra-
tion have now given orders that the
subscription to the medal of Mr.. Lincoln
shall meet no hindrance. The govern.
ment of the Emperor, whose sentiments
were manifested in so signal a manner
on the occasion OF the crime committed
against the President of the United
States, could not but leave the most
complete liberty to such manifesto

MANHOOD OF THB SoLDTERs.-NO one
who has taken the trouble to observe
closely the regiments returning to our
city for disbandment, will deny that the
men come back to civil life in fine phys
iCal condition. They look very strong,
hardy, hearty and vigorous; their
muscles are more tense, their vitality
more energetic, and their whole organ
ism more solid and compact. The Sc
we're duties off soldiers life have called
out what Psychologists term the reserve
qualities of nature-thOse powers and
qualities of body and soul which usually
lie dormant in ordinary life, but which
play so important and decisive part in
| life's emergencies,
Last Summer at this time, these sol
diers-those of them who belong 10 the
| Army of the POtomac-were actively en-
gagged in that tremendous series OF
struggles which began in the Wilder
ness in the month of May and those of
them who are from the army of Gen.
Sherman, were fighting that series of
battles in Northern Georgia which end
ed in the capture of Atlanta. All thro
| the hot Summer months, our chief ar
mics were fighting and marching
marching in these Southern States
and no severer military labors were
ever accomplished by any army. Yet
after such work, in such regions, so long
continued, these brave men return to US
possessed of a physique Of the most ad
mirable character, and which will tel
powerfully On the childhood, and man
hood, of the next generation.--N. 7

THR PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-A Washing
ton dispatch says Il controversy has
arisen between Secretary Harlan Of the
Interior Department and eq-Secretary
Usher, in regard to bonds required
by act Of Congress to be issued upon
the completion of a specified portion of
the Pacific Railroad. Harlan contends
that the stipnlations of the law have
not been complied with, while Usher
insists that they have, and Is urging
the matter with great pertinacity
against the conviction and remOnstrance
of the Secretary of the Interior. 1t is
understood that Usher has appealed to
the President to override Harlan's de-
cision, with what result is not known
at present Ushers zeal in the matter
arises from an expectation that he is to

lifeless body under thicket Of bushe:
with his head resting upon q stone, ant
his hoe by his side, about a mile from
his own farm. From some unknown

days previously. a....
His funeral was attended yesterda
