| The WASHINGTON CHRONICLE, OF the 1st. says:
'The Government has not authorized the pubhca-
ton Of any intimatiop asto it's course in the trial
OF Jefferson Davis at the November term of the
Circuit Court in Richmond, consequently all the
statements that have heretofore been published
are nero surmises.r 1t is ssemi-officialy stated'
however, that the Government will be obliged to
ask for further postponement Of the trial, which
request will assuredly be followed by motion on
the part Of the counsel for the defence TO enter q
noie prosequi. This motion will be argued at
length before Judge Underwoodor Chief Justice
Chase; but it is not certain that the latter will be
present at the trial. The idea that Attorney Gen
era Stanbery has anything to do directly with the
case, is erroneous, as District Attorney Chandler
of Virginia, is alone responsible for the manner in
which it is conducted, and Mr. Stanbery has
merely been called on to authorize him to employ
assistance in prosecuting the trial Mr.. Stanbcry

An Eastern army is populous affair. That
detailed for the invasion OF Abyssinia is made up
of II, 900 troops, chiefly Punjaubees, and proper
ton Of cavalry. With these there will so the
enormous number Of q, 900 camp followers. The
artillery is to be four field pieces and one noun
tain battery, consisting of six riaed steel seven
Founders, which are to be carried on mules. Be
sides, there will be supply Of rockets, 5OOt
breech leaders and revolvers, and field tele'
graph. Such an army requires q, 600 mules ano
and 5000 camels for transportation inside OF King
Thsodore's dominions. But to get there, as the
troops are to be brought from Bombay, twenty
large steamers will be required, and have been
chartered. This is truly an expensive as well as
formidable equi ipment and it is not strange that
pride in the "honor OF the British nane' does not
prevent an occasional grumbe from the pccunious
British lion.
"A novel style of rail car, carving its own

Monday. In this vehicle, the oaf moves the
wheels instead Of the wheels moving the car and
the wheels do not touch the ground at all. There
are six pairs of wheels, and each pair has broad
fat foot attached. These "feet" rest on the
ground and bear up the wheels, while two rails
under the body of the car are made to roll along
tho upper surface Of the tire as fit were passing
over so many pulies or friction rollers. The feet
and wheels are all connected by an endless chain
and as fast as the body OF the car passes beyond
one of these feet it is lifted from the ground ant
made 70 travel along to the front Of the car where
it drops or the road again, and the whole is thus
kept in continuous motion. The wheel truck IL
fact walks along the road while the car ltsel
rolls along over the wheels. The body OF the cal

AN ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR OF THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE, by Geo. T. Holiness LII. D.,
Professor of History, General Literature and
Rhetoric in the University of Virginia
Richardson & Co., New York With the
imprint also of d. III. Maury, New Orleans,
and NJ. Morft, Baltimore.
Our readers will, we know, wish that this
Grammar may prove to be acceptable and pop
ular in our Southern schools We therefore
advise such as are interested in the work of
education, to procure a copy and see whether
it ought to be so. To our cursory review it
bears the marks of scholarship and close re-
search, with enough of inneystion on estab-
- 1nksmatical rules and constructions to
3. - gfeeable employment to those who are
fond of discussing such matters. Our neigh.
Dor Of the Richmond Dispatch, who is becom-
ing very oracular in the strain in which he is
wont to deliver his opinions on all questions Of
Grammar, devotes nearly two columns to show
his dissent from some of the positions Of the
new book; and some other people will proba-
bly, differ from him as much as he differs from
the Professor. He says that it is downright
nonsense" to contend for Professor Holmes

confidence disposes of his remarks as to the use
of the participle in "The house as build

Canterbury, Mr.. Bingham, of North Carolina,

with the following high compliment to the
Grammar, and its own astuteness in the detec.
ton of errors: THE reader will doubtless con-
clude that it must be an excellent Grammar
which contains no more faults than we have
pointed out.
Rule 10th giving an objective to intransitive
verbs, as in Z" I dreamt dream," is rather a
novelty; and rule 18th allowing two accusa-

ing the proposition "to" before Henry, than
by perplexing the mind of the pupil with two
objects to the verb.
These and other questions will we hope give
rise to an examination of the book, that will
make it sell, and eventually establish its merit
and its circulation.

Mr. Preston wanted the whole of the origi-
nal paper to 90 down to the Presbyteries, that
they might see the principle that is in it.
DIR. Converse suggested the publication of
the whole paper as first offered in the religious
newspapers. DIR. Armstrong said this would
accomplish his object, and withdrew his mo.
ton; and then the question was taken on the
amended paper as whole, and it was adopted.

On THE SIN OF SENDING PROTESTANT Chill.
DREN TO ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS. BY
c. w. Andrews, D. D., of Shepherdstown,
West Virginia.
A new edition of this tract has been pub
lshed lat the instance and at the expense OF
several private gentlemen, in aid of the differ
ent associations, of which there is one in Bal
timore and one in st. Louis, for educating the
daughters of our impoverished families of the
South. Copies of it will be mailed to the Pro-
testant clergy of the South who can have it
sent to such persons as they may specify, by
forwarding the names with postage to the pub
fishers, j. & w. j. Entwisle, Alexandria, I'M
til the edition is exhausted.
The writer truly says, that the Roman Cath
olics are availing themselves of the calamities
which have fallen upon our people, to extend
their Church by the offer of gratuitous educa-
ton to the daughters OF Protestant families Of
high social position, which the war has thrown
into circumstances Of pecuniary distress and
askswhat more cruel use could be made Of our
misfortunes? The propositions presented in
this tract are boldly and ably discussed, and
may be read with profit, ought to be read at

whatever, has been induced to send or to thirk

Failure of Papers.-We were exceedingly
mortified last week to find, by some mistake
of the pressman, the issue of the paper fell
short about $50 copies. Most of our subscri-
bers in New York, Baltimore, St. Louis, and
several other points North and West, failed in
this way to receive their papers. We regret
ted this mistake all the more, because the
proceedings of the Synod of Virginia were
looked for with great interest by many in
these cities whose hearts are still warmly at
tached to their mother State The debates
published this week will in some degree supply
the loss, and we hope no apology on this &C.
count will be necessary again.

Retracing its Steps," &c.-A minister
from the North called at the office of the Cen
trail Presbyterian the other day and asked for q
copy of the paper containing the proceedings
of the Synod of Virginia which, as he had
heard, "had retraced its steps" on the ordi-
nation of colored men. The Nep lorh o.
serrer, in its account of the discussion on this
subject says that "a favorable change is COM
ing over the minds of Southern ministers;
they are seeing things with new eyes, or with
more light" and takes credit to itself Tor Its
discussion and representations OF some twelve
months ago, as if instrumental in this good
work. The Philadelphia Presbyterian, to a
much fairer and more honorable report of the
speeches and action in Synod, adds this closing
sentence: "Our Southern brethren are NOV
ing into the light"
Now in reply to all these kind intimations
we have merely to suggest that the adoption Of
the paper in question proves nothing of the
sort. The Synod of VirginA could not retrace
its steps. for it had never taken any and
when at its first meeting, after the Assembly S
action, it merely asks that the Assembly allow
Presbyteries exclusively to manage question
which the Assembly in its own paper, conceded
that they had right to control, we do not see
where is the great evidence of change Of
opinion. We who are on the ground are not
able to discover that this action is different
from what the Synod Of Virginia might very
naturally have done year ago, had the neces-
sity for it existed.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

| The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States met according to
appointment, on Thursday, the 2lst day Of
November, A. D., 1867, in the First Presbyte-
rian church, Nashville, Tenn, at II o'clock,
A. NJ
Rev. A. H. Kerr, D. D., Moderator of the
last Assembly, preached the opening sermon
from the text
"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God, in the mountain of his
holiness. For this God is our God for ever
and ever; he will be our guide even unto
death. PSALM Xviii: 10, IA.
The attendance OF members on the first day
was very good. We notice that all the minis
terial delegates from Virginia were present.
Rev. DR.. T. V. Moore was elected Modera-
tor, and Rev. j. E. c. Doremus temporary
Clerk
The Commissioners from the Presbytery Of
the Patapsco being present, their Memorial
was read, and it was then resolved that the
Presbytery be received under the care of the
Assembly, and Rev. j. A. Lefevre, and Elder
Dickson be enrolled as members, and the Pres
bytery be attached to the Synod of Virginia.
Rev. j. A. Lefevre then rose and made a
few brief remarks, which were happily re-
sponded to by Rev. DIR. Moore, who warmly
welcomed that Presbytery to the Assembly.
On Friday. the delegation from Kentucky
was received, and heard through the Rev.
Stuart Robinson, and committee of nine was
appointed to whom the whole matter was re-
ferred
The next meeting of the Assembly will be
in the Franklin St. church, Baltimore, (Dr.
Bullocks, on the third Thursday of May, 1868,
at IL, A. NJ.
The late hour at which our Nashville papers
were received, prevents our giving longer
report. The outside Of the next paper will
be occupied with the proceedings OF each day.
