While he did not neglect his own people, he exerted himself to the extent of his ability to spread the gospel beyond the limits of his own parish. His comprehensive mind and catholic spirit took in the whole church, to all the Boards of which he was a firm friend. He was especially interested in the work of Domestio Missions. The Presbytery of Luzerne, now numbering twenty-five ministers and as many churches, is a monument of his untiring real and energy in the work of his Master. He was one of the founders of the Presbytery, and with his ample means, his labors and his prayers, he has aided every church within its bounds.— They have grown up under his care. Seventeen years ago he wrote in a letter addressed to a student in Princeton Seminary, "I regard Lackawanna Valley as a promising missionary field." It was by nis advice that Scranton and Pittston were selected as preaching stations, when the whole region was missionary ground. He discerned even at that time their prospective importance, and directed bis efforts accord- Wyoming Seminary. or three woeks ago. Sixty freight and baggage oars were alto burned.

His religion was not separate f rom his daily life. What he had done and what he had suffered for Christ's sake, he felt no disposition to boast of, but all who knew him intimately can testify to his zeal and self denial for God, and his consistent holy living. Within a few years past his domestic afflictions have been very great, having been called to bury a lovely daughter, in the prime of life, three sons, who wero young men, and a devoted wife, the sliaccr of his joys and sorrows for thirty-five years. But from his lips no words of murmuring or complaint were heard.— The language of his manner was "It is the Lord, let Him do whatseemeth Him good." God was preparing him, by these sore afflictions, for the glory of the upper sanctuary, to which he has removed him. Of his death I may just say—he died as he lived, with a firm trust in the Saviour of the world, whom he had for so many years preached to others. There was nothing of ccstacy or rapture in his death-bed experience. No beatific visions opened to his view on this side of the flood, like those that fired the .soul of I'ayson—but oalmly, peacefully and quietly as the stars go out when the gates of the morning are opened, so he passed away.

The anniversaries of this institution are always interesting, as is clearly indicated by the thousands in attendance each year. To those who have been present on those occasions heretofore, it is sufficient to say that the anniversary this year is generally re- one of the very best. The annual address by Hon. H. B. Wright on the subjcct "Our Government," was most able, patriotic and impressive.— Never could a speaker have better proof that the hearts of his auditors were in sympathy with his sentiment* and spirit. [Written for the Pittfton Gauette.J Rev. John Dorranoe, D. D, Whkreas, The well known truth that man is born to die is every day made manifest. Death spares none—the old, just tottering on the verge of tho grave ; the young, in all the vigor of life and in the full enjoyment of its pleasures, and the leeble infant, wailing and helpless, are alike subject to the dread summons. We may be in the full enjoyment of health and for all that man can see, fair for a good old age, yet suddenly and without a momenta warning, Death knocks at the door, and prepared or unprepared we must obey the command. Or we may linger for days and weeks on the bed of anguish and pain before the messenger calls, yet the time will surely come when we will die. Then the silver oord will be loosened, the golden bowl broken, and the wheel of life will stand still. The death of II. J. Goodwin affords a striking instance of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death. Stricken by the hand of disease and death while in the full vigor of manhood, his illness was short—so short indeed that but few of us knew that he was sick, until we heard that he was dead. We have reason to believe that Brother II. J. Goodwin was a christian and prepared for the great and sudden change. lie was a man universally respeoted—kind, benevolent and of sterling integrity. He was one of nature's noblemen, an honest man. May his memory be preserved ever green in our hearts. Whereas, Brother H. J. Goodwin has been removed from among us by the hand of Providence, therefore Resolved, That in the death of Brother H. J. Goodwin we acknowledge the affecting hand of Providence, and humbly bow to His will. Just received, a new assortment of splendid Frame* *(' Cancn, June 28, I860. J. W. MILLER.

Patterson's command crossed the Potomac on Tuesday last. Several companies of cavalry, and Doubloday's,Perkins' and the Rhode Island batteries, with two regiments of Infantry led the van. Then followed the train of wagons, sotne three miles long, and 18,000 men. About five miles from the town of Martinsburg the advance encountered the enemy, who were druwu up in line of battle ready to receive and give us a warm reception. They opeued fire upon us from two small field pieces—0-pounders, I think —but which did no execution. These field pieces wore plauted upon a hill commanding the road up which our men were advancing. The Rhode Island battery opened fire upon the rebels, and the 11th Pennsylvania and 1st Wisconsin Regiments came up on a doublo quick, carrying the position held by the enemy and putting them to flight. The battle lasted half an hour, and resulted in the victory of the Union troops and the complete possession of Rlartinsburg. Three of our men wore killed and five wounded. The loss of the enemy is not known, but some of our men while out scouting discovered, in the vioinity of the buttle field, sixty newly filled graves, repotted to have been dug by the rebels. The people of Martinsburg say they saw two wagon loads of wounded pass through town with tho retreating foe. The rebels hay? entrenched themselves at Bunker Hill, six miles distant from this place, where they will probably make a desperate stand. I visited town this morning and saw toe remains of the property destroyed by the secessionists on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The track has been torn up between this and Harper's Perry, and the bridges and other property destroyed to the amount of over a million of dollars.

Add to these the number who left here in April, and are now actively engaged dispersing the rebola, I think you will say that Hazlctou has not beeu backward in her duty. Tlio fourth was celebratod here with much spirit. During the night the booming of cannon and firing guns, mingling with our dreams, made the sleepers fancj themselves in the vicinity of Martinsbnfg.

SAVE YOV HEARD OF Perils or the Whale Fishery.—A letter from Job N. Sherman, third mute of ship Mary Ann, of Fairhaven gives the following particulars of his eseape from death while pursuing a whale: The whale stiuek the boat and threw him across the monsters mouth, so that both legs were in its moutb, and then went down with him. Fortunately the whale oanie up so the man could breathe—in the meantime he had extricated one of his legs —but the whale immediately went down again, carrying Sherman down the second time. Mr. S. then thought of his knife which ho uesd on the whale's under jaw, causing it to let go its hold, when Mr. S. arose to the surface, about a ship's length from the boat, and was regoued nearly exhausted, by scixing him by the hair of his head as he was sinking. On examination ho found himself minus his pants and a hole in one leg large enough to receive an egg' CHAELES SCHLAGEE'S 8 1" K AM BAK KUV, JO COAL'OPERATORS.

His efforts were never dazzling; bur tliuy were always logical and argumentative,and cliaraet l'ized by strong practical sense lie addressed himself to the reasou rather than to the passions of men, and when thoroughly master of a subject lie seldom failed to make himself understood, and to carry conviction to the minds of those who heard him. It issaid of Daniel Webster that he excelled in bis ability to make a clear, concise and forcible btatcmeut of a subject. The same might be said with truth of our lamented brother; and his ability in this way, in connexion with executive talent of a high order, made him invaluable in our ecclesiastical courts. While l)r. Dorrance was not a closo student of books, and owing to the state of his health, could not be, he was a welt informed man. There were few subjects occupying the public mind with which ho was not conversant, and on which he was not ablo to give an intelligent judgment. His mind took hold of great principles in every department of knowledge rather than of nico philosophical distinctions. Had he chosen law as a profession he would have been one of the first constitutional lawyers in the country, as he certainly was one of the ablest ecclesiastical lawyers in the church. His natural diffidenee, and his reluctance to put himself forward in a public way. interfered, no doubt, to some extent, with his usefulness, and prevented i bim from being known more extensively in SCBANTON SCB.ANTON, IJA, ?
