The following preamble and resolu-
lutions on the state of the country, were
passed by the Synod of Western Re-
serve, (N.S. Presbyterian recently held
at Elyria, Ohio
WHEREAS, Since the last meeting of
this Synod, the military power Of the
Great Rebellion against the Govern
ment of our beloved country, by the
blessings Of God upon the arms of our
brave citizen soldiers, has been effectu-
ally crushed; and whereas, whole rebel
and'slave States, within the same period,
have declared their acts of secession null
and uoSd, and established liberty instead
Of slavery throughout their borders, as q
part of their fundamental law; and
IohereGs, leading rebels in crowds, are
seeking for pardon; and s0HereGs, a
whole race of eolored Americans en-
shaved at the commencement, and du-
ring the progress Of the rebellion, are
now free by the results of this great con-
| test, have been our loyal and generous,
and fast friends during the whole period
of the contest, feeding, and clothing, and
sheltering, and protecting Union men,
and Union soldiers, and, as well as their
free colored brethren, at the North, ia
king up arms, and laying down their
lives in our defense; and, achereas,
though differing upon many and import
ant questions, all the recent elections,
in the loyal States, show a wonderful
unanimity in support of the Govern
ment; therefore,
Resolved, That we devoutly recognize
the good hand of our God in all these
great and wonderful movements, and
we say, "Not unto us, o Lord not
unto US, but unto Thy name, be all the
glory" -, 4. sss .a.g.t5 .si-. asa ~
ResoEced, That for these great and
benefcent results, under God, we feel
under great and lasting obligations to
the officers and soldiers OF our armies.
ResoIred, That to our colored fellow.
citizens, who have fought in our armies,
have fed our hungry and sheltered our
exposed, and cast in their lot with us IN
this mighty strife, we say, you have laid
upon us obligations which can only be
discharged by comforting upon your race
every right under the Government which
we ourselves possess. -s
ResoEced, That in the present mo-
mentous crisis of this country, one duty
presents itself to all loyal Americans.
Be friends of your Government, Be
united Frown down every attempt to
weaken its power while dealing with re-.
bellion.a sdi f-''.ei
Let the President, let Congress, let
those who have been rebels, see and feel
that we are of one mind; that the last
vestige of resistance to our noble Gov
eminent must be put down and eradica-
ted from our system. The mode, we
cannot prescribe; but the logic of
events, or better, the good Providence
of God, will, as it has eminently done
during the rebellion, solve sny difficult
ties in our path, protect and elevate all
that need our protection, and give us a
more glorious future than the most, san
guine of the past have ever hoped for
our common country. ov

Methodism In Kentuokv.

The Louisville Press rejoicingly an
nounces that a movement is on foot
among the Methodist Churches of Ken
lucky looking to a union with the
Methodist Church North, and that it is
developing cheering indications. The
ministers who withdrew from the Ken
tucky Conference on account of its
slaveholding and secession proclivities
have held an improvised Conference for
organization and concerted action. At
Lexington, Shelbyville, Danville, Har-
rodsburg, and other places, there has
been an open withdrawal of churches
and portions of churches from the
Southern body. In Louisville there is
one Methodist society, the Market Street
Church, standing squarely upon the plat
form of loyalty and we are glad to
learn that it is thriving, despite the
prophecies and ill-wiIl of opposing socie-
ties. As matter of course, the colored
portion of the Church South will join
with this movement, and are doing so
about as fast as they can be reached.

Effect OF Victory and Peace Rumor
on the Markets. a.a

The Chicago Times of Monday says the
recent great military successes and the
prospect of Others, together with the sup
posed diplomatic movements between the
Federal and rebel capitals, and the indica-
items Of peace in influential Southern quar-
tiers, have created universal impression
in the Northern public mind that the war
is coming to close. This impression,
with the great fall in gold, produced quite
panic in Chicago on Saturday. The
Times summary of the markets lie as fol-
lows: .... ..
Prices generally were heavy and dropping.
Wheat sold all the way from $1.46 down to
$1.39 for No. spring, some &, 900 bushels
selling at $1.4o. The market rallied to 81. AZ
@1.42x Corn was heavy and inactive. Oats
sold to the extent of 10000 bushels at 60c old
receipts. Provisions were heavy and declin-
ing; 800 bbls mess pork sold at ga, and IL 500
bbls mess pork al S30@31. so, closing heavy.
Lard was heavy and nominally low. High
wines declined to 81. 16@2.17, and closed dun.
with q strong bear movement to put prices
still lower. All value of produce and merchan-
disc closed fsverish and unsettled, with q
dropping tendency. ..t.....-r.. -. .-..

Corn Sugar.

The Buffalo Commercial of the 7th
states that the parties interested in the re-
cent discovery of sugar to be manufactured
from corn are actively engaged in making
preparations for the extensive manufacture
of sugar by the new method, and that they
will be prepared to put the new staple upon
the market in a few days. That paper
adds: Developments which have been
made since the matter was first announced
by us, have more than confirmed the state
ments made at that time, and more than
justify the anticipations we then INDUCED
in as to the complete success of the en-
terprise."

toned proposition of Mr.. DI1oN's, of
Conn, to strick out the fifth paragraph of
the ninth section of the first article of the
Constitution, but failed to tell US what was
put in lieu thereof. 1t was the following /:
''The Congress shall have power to lay a
tax or duty on articles exported from any
State" The object of this is to allow a
heavy export duty on cotton and other
products of the South.

There are two bills now pending before
the House Of Representatives in this State,
one of which provides for the improve
ment of navigation on the Minnesota riv-
ar and the other for the improvement OF
the Rum river to an extent sufficient to
secure the passage of the logs down this
coming spring. We observe the disposition
on the part of some members Of the House
to organize an opposition to the one or the
other of those bills, according as their
local interests may dictate. We cannot
but regard such Q course in the present
condition of affairs In this State, as not on
ly unwise, but as absolutely inimical to the
pecuniary interests of Minnesota. 1t is
doubtful whether either the grain or the
logs can be got ont without such assistance
as these bills contemplate, and we are
most sure that the people of this State are
in no condition to endure another year OF
hardship on that account. Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick. The Legislature
had much better provide literally than
allow the State to weather it through the
coming year without such assistance. The
opening of the grain and lumber markets
would put q vast amount of meney into
circulation, relieve the wants Of great
population, and give an impetus to all
branches of trade and agriculture. Let the
friends of both these bills throw aside all
factious opposition, and unite for the COM
mon benefit.

Since my last y you, our position as q

have been Flooding on in the beaten path
OF common camp life. We have been

ties, but that is as near as the Eleventh

but little, if any disposition to complain At
this. Our men are satisfied, I believe
in doing the duties assigned them. with.
out seking the "bubble fame, at the can

sacrifices are required. We have had the
sad duty of closing the eyes of some of
our noble boys, who have laid down
precious lives, in the Loneliness of South
ern hospitals, and who are Just Is much
entitled to grateful countrys thanks a.

his entire company. He was man that
ordinarily would not attract particular at

Reduction Of Duty On Paper.

On Monday the House of Representa-
tives BY a vote of 81 to 40 decided to re-
move the onerous tax upon knowledge
and upset the paper monopoly by adopt
ing Mr.. WAsnBuRNRs motion to levy an
ad valorem duty of three per cent on
book and news paper. The paper mono
polists were taken by surprise, and will
now transfer their labors to the Senate.
Messrs. WINDOW and DeNNKILY voted with
the majority
