THE PRESBYTERLANS.
The Negotiations for Reunion Between
the Old School and New School Assem-
blfes.

In the New School General Assembly, in New
York city, on Monday, Rev. DR.. Darling, chair
man Of the Committee on Answers to the Over
lures for Reunion by the last Assembly, made
the following report:
The special committee appointed to collate
the answers Of Presbyteries to the overture on
the subject OF reunion sent down to them
by order OF the last Assembly, respectfully re-
port: That one hundred Presbyteries have e1-
pressed their approval, giving their consent to
the reunion OF the two branches Of the Pres
byterian Church in the United States on the
basis proposed by the joint committee OF thlr-
ty, and approved by the two meetings in May,
1858, respectively in Albany, N. Y, and Har-
risburg, Pa.
Four Presbyteries have answered the over
ture in the enegative-DIstrict OF Columbia, De-
troit, Washtenaw and Chicago.
At the afternoon session on Tuesday, DR..
Fisher read report on the conference with
other Presbyterian bodies. Delegates from
the Old and New Schools, and from other
bodies, met and UNANIMOUSLY agreed that a
reunion was most desirable, il the way was
clear.
The following four points we're submitted as
b,sis of reunion
First. The Old and New Testament are &C.
cepted as the rule OF faith.
Second. The Westminster Confession and
Catechism, slightly modified, as far as regards
the civil law, is adopted as the full and accu-
rate Interpretation Of the Holy Writ.
Third. The united church is to accept the
Presbyterian form Of government.
Fourth. The united church accepts the
Psalmody, aud prescribes its use.
The report was referred to the standing COM
nittee on reunion.

aFTHE VITAL STATISTICS OF THE
United States show that periodical fevers and acute
and chronic disorders OF the stomach and bowels
are among tho most prominent and fatal diseases In
this country. Disobedience to the laws Of health.
as regards diet; the OF pernicious stimulants;
and the wear and tear Of business excitement and of
fast life" generally have much to do with the pre-
yaence Of these malades in our cities; while in the
West and especially in The newly opened districts,
they are chiefly due to malaria, unwholesome W.
ter and the exposure and pivation incident to life
in new settlements.
Now, 1t is fact that it is as possible to protect
the human system against these maladies TO guard
life and property against the incursons Of assassns
and thieves. Strengthen the vital organization with
HosTETTEh'S STOMACH BITTERs, and 1t be-
comes capable of resisting the active principle OF
epidemic or endemic disease as fre.proof safe is

experience Of thousands who have remained IN
scahed by slarious disorders in the sickliest sea-
sons while their neighbors, who neglected to tone
and regulate their systems with this unequaled
medicinal simulant, have fallen thick and fast
around them. Weakness IL vites disease Vigor re.

HOW The ATLAHT1o VOYAGE ts TO BE ACCOM-
P1mHKD.
M. Cheyalier has made 16S balloon voyages,
and may be presumed TO have q moderately
good understanding of the difficulties lable to
y voyage across the Atlantic. He declares
that these difficulties are not peculiar to the
Atlantic voyage, except ss it Is one Of unusual
extent and duration. They naturally range
themselves un Ter two heads, viz:
1. Maintaining the buoysncy Of the balloon.
q. Keeping to direct course,
The great cause OF the diminution OF the
buoyancy Of the balloon is the raising and
case Of the ordinary balloon, every fight above
the average level costs an expenditure Of
both gas and ballast. The gas is lost by ex-
pansion and consequent oyerdowlng from the
mouth of the balloon, this loss Of gas then
causes the balloon to sink below the course,
which in turn compels the throwing out Of
ballast to bring it up again. The loss Of gas
in fluctuations is very serious consideration
in the case of balloon Of the size Of that in
which Professor Chev llier is to make his trans
Atlantic trip. "L'Esperance.s for that is its
name, has capacity for 80 600 feet Of cas-. At
the height OF so, 600 feet the atmospheric pres-
sure is, say one-tenth lees the surface OF the
tenth in volume at that elevation. II every
time Cheyaher's balloon should rise 5000 feet
1t we're to lose one. tenth Of its contents, equal
to ninety-si1 pounds sustaining power, it
would not be two days before LiEsperance
would sink into the sea, never to rise again.
