THE WORLD ON THE CHURCH.

The New York World, which is the ablest
organ of the combination of Northern copper
heads and Southern traitors, under the lead
of Horatio Seymour and jeff Davis, in the
interests OF slavery and treason, is determined
that the Presbyterian Church shall author.
tatively sanction the course of Southern trai-
tors of that denomination, or failing to do
that the church shall be disrupted. 1t de-
nounees the Old School Church, as an apostate
church, because it's General Assembly has
condemned slavery and declined fellowship
with unrepentant traitors, and declares sub
stantially that large portion of the church
are ready to withdraw from and denounce the
Presbyterian Church. unless the next General
Assembly rcpudiates the action OF the last one
and consents to receive defiant traitors to the
country, and virulent schisma.ies and seces.
sonst, from the church, into full fellowship
without question.
Do the doctors OF divinity suppose that a
free Christian people, who have emerged
from the Valley of the Shadow of Stanton
1--WE crave pardon Of the grim King of Terors)
will quietly endure tins state of the case ?
There are thousands OF Presbyterian men and
women north ofthe Potomac who are calmly
waiting for the signal TO begin the great exc
dus from what they consider an apostate
church. They are too thoroughly in earnest
TO be noisy, but they have not relinquished
one jot Of their traditions. Two or three Sy-
mods on this side of the border have recently
spoken; and against very faint opposition,
they have denounced and repudiated the ac-
tion of the higher court. In one ofthese Synods
q member was on trial for absenting himself
from former meetings. His excuse, (which
WAS sustained by the body was, that be could
not conscientionsly attend them. The inev
table inference was, that he thought it un-
becoming in minister of the Gospel to at
tend political gatherings.
Those of US who stand outside and look on
on are waiting for the catastrophe. 1t is an
open question whether or not the peace and
prosperity of the church will be best secured
by an exodus Whether it occurs or not, pro-
badly depends upon two contingencies: First
and chiefly, whether or not the next Assembly
will obliterate the record Of the four years
last past; and, second, whether or not it will
accord with the requirements of Christian
charity to leave the non-exodng members in
such unhealthy company as they must keep
y long as they associate solely with each
other

Upon the close of the jackson campaign,
with Vicksburg in our possession, and the
forces of the rebels captured or driven beyond
the Pearl river, rest was given to our armies.
Many officers were granted leave Of absence,
and one fifth of the army was furloughed. At
this time Gen. Jso. d. STEVENSON, temporari.
ly commanding Logan's Division of the 18th
Corps, planned campaign into Louisiana,
West of Vicksburg. Gen. GRANT consented.
Organizing his force, consisting of 4, 500 men,
including the Iowa Brigade, and with little
transportation, he started into the interior from
Goodrich's Landing about the middle of
August. Now we follow Mr.. ISGERsoLLs 8
