Death of a venerable Minister

We regret to announce The death OF
the Rev Benjamin Kurtz, of the Lu-
theren Church. DIR. Kurtz attained
the gOodly age of seventy-one years,
and was most favorably known to the
citizens of the entire State as an able
theologian, a devout Christian, and pos
sessing many excellent traits of char
acter. BY virtue of his talents he re-
ceived the degrees of Doctor Of Diyin-
ity and Doctor of Literature and Laws
from the College Of the English Luth-
eran Church, of which denomination
he was, for about forty years an efficient
pastor.

THE SOLDIERS IN COUNCIL.


The Soldiers and Sailors Conventic'' which
met at Pittsburg, on the 5th iii =, was
largely attended, nearly every Congress
sonal district being represented. Gen. j.
T. OWENS, of Philadelphia presided. Moth
ing can be more emphatic and distinct than
the tone of their resolutions in favor of 10y
al men and against all "who by word or
deed embarrassed the Union armies, or cast
odium on the cause for which they fought"
and in support of such policy as will Sc
cure the fruits Of the triumphs of our SOL
diers by preventing unwise concessions
They propose, as basis for organization, a
platform which enuncates the doctrine that
our late foes should be tr, ated with chival-
rous magnanimity, but that no principle
should be compromised, and no ally deser-
ted that guarantees should be demanded
to prevent recurrence of the rebellion, to
Secure justice and freedom to men of all
classes, conditions and colors, and guard
the national faith from violation )" that "the
rebels ought not to be precipitated in pow
er before such guarantees have been OBJ
tanned :" that with the beginning of the
war this nation took new departure, and
thnnceforth her Constitution is to read III
the interest of liberty, justice and security,
according to the spirit of its preamble and
the immortal Declaration of independence,
under the teachings of its authors and com
patriots. Too long already has it been in
terpreted in the interest of slavery and
caste" This platform abounds with great
truths, pertinent to the times, ably express
sed The resolution we have just quoted
furnishes a noble theme for every orator
who may take the stump i'll the coming
campaign, and for every citizen who wish
es to examine critically the political history
Of our country. In reference to the Guber-
material candidates, the convention pledged
its hearty support to Major General JOHN
w. GEARY for his faithful devotion to the
Union during the war, when 'many like
HESTER CLYMER were rendering aid and
comfort to the rebels"
