ISSUES. From April 1, 1SG2, to January 1, 18- )'o nine months our issues wore C32,-1100, chiefly Testaments. In Sqtanler Wo issued 103,032 volumes, at the rato of 'eleven per minute of working time. This V.is the largest product of any single month's labour since tho origin of tho Soeie.y. During tho mouths of August, September, and October, 0,000 Bibles and Testaments were made at tho Bible IIouso in each day of working time. The total number of volumes published from tho begiuning of this Institution, in 1810, to January 1, 1SG3, was 17.02G (101, in thirty-four languages. BCPI'LY OV THE ARMY AND NAVY. Over one milion of volumes of God's Word have becu disturbed iu the Army and Navy since the war began. Many of uur Auxiliaries have liberally wul thoroughly done this work for troops raised in their districts. ( Large grant havo ben and are still being made by tho Managers' for regiments, camps, forts, hospitals, and shipij of war. Bible, Tract, aud Missionary Societies, the Christiuu Couiuiissiou, officers, chaplains, colporteurs, pastors, and private individuals " have bee the willing and clncient agents in this great distribution. Much care is taken to secure co-operation, prevent xoiil'.iut, and reduplication of the work, am! to promote the most-prompt, judicious, uud responsible circulation. Thousands prisoner! of tear taken by cur ibrcw have lcn literally Mipplivd, and miny inousaiiu volumes were granted to that Society, and to tho Christian Commission, for tho armies of the I'liion on the Rappahannock, in the Southwest, and elsewhere. The casualities of the war will doubtless continuo this class of applications. T ho most extraordinary bible distribution ol the age has boon call-cd forth by this great conflict which is shaking our country and the world. JIO.MK AXD FOIIEIG.V WORK. The ordinary domestic and local operations of the Society havo been to some degree affected by tho work for the army and navy. In many parts of tho country, exploration and distribution have been carefully accomplished. But in addition to this, wo are now aiming at a speedy reoc- J cupation ol the regions desolated by the war, especially in the Southern flnr.W States, which have become in many res- peels imsseioiiary ground. When the war closes, there will be a majority work to accomplish in this vast field, which already appeals to our warmest sympathies and sense of duty to them, and to God and his Word. Increased liberality will bo needed for this labour of love, which we are sure will not be withheld by those to whom so "much has been given.'' Tho Forkigx Department: of our operations is iuviting.and plans are maturing for its enlargement, as Providence opens the doors of usefulness. China, India, Siam, Japan, Egypt, Russia, the Turkish Kuipire, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Central America, South America, Liberia and other parts of Africa, the islands of tho sea, and regions beyond, are all receiving appropriations from our funds, or Scriptures from our depository. The wants of Seamen sailing to and I from foreign ports are carefully attended to. We are publishing the Scriptures in six languages ol the Turkish Empire New translations, editions, or versions of the Bible are in process of preparation for the press iu various languages, for many millions of people. Among these wo may mention the Arnieuo-Turkish Bible of Pr Goodell; tho Arabic Scriptures, begun by tho late Dr. F.li .Smith, and still in progress by C. V.- A. A'au Dyck; the Bulgarian Script noes, by Dr. Biggs, the new Chinese version of the late )rs. Bringnian and Cul- bertson; the Italic Bible, at Florence, un der the supervision of llev: Dr. Bevel, of the WaMeusian Church, a new edition of Valera's Spanish Bible, and another of the French Testament, Ostervald's translation. both of which arc iu progress at the Bible House. Appropriations for the foreign work will probably be much larger thau during the bust year. We trust that the American Bible Society will coutiuuc to enjoy the same confidence and support as in all its past history, and that American Christians will enable it to do its whole duly. 'TUB FIELD IS THE WORLD." As illustrative of the spirit and blessedness of our work, wo append the following recent incidents. The Bible Society Board contains many like thorn. A chaplain, desenbiug the march of a part of the army into the battle of Fredericksburg, says that some portions cf the road were literally covered with cards that had been throwufroin pockets, while. Testa-mails were held to with the greatest tenacity. Another chaplain writes us of the distribution of a box of Testaments to his regiment, a week after tho battle of Frodericks-qurg; uud he adds: my Soulh had expressed the opinion, l,thnl it was a watte of hemfuvlioiis to give, the Testament to soldiers." 1 called on that ollicer and inquired of him concerning that matter. "I did not say so," said he 'I only told ono soldier whom I saw abuso hislestament." "Only uiie?"aid I. "On ly ono, ' was his reply. "How many were supplied with tho Testament in your division?" "About fifteen or twenty thousand," said he. "And you saw onlyoncsoldieroutof fifteen or twenty thousand destroy h is Testament; is that your testimony;' "Yes, sir, it is." "Thank you, sir," said I. That speaks volumes in behalf of our work ol arming our people with tho Word of God. Bishop G. T. Bedell, of Ohio, narrated (he ensuing interesting fact, in a speech lately delivered before the Cleveland Bible Society. Truly "The Word of God is quick and powerful," A Chineso teacher wa brought over to this country bv the inlsinli;,rv Tiislinn Boone. He remained a hnalhen notwithstanding his long resideneo in tho mission family, and his constant acquaintance with the truths of the gospel. Still, the seed Divine truth was planted in his heart. For in assisting Bishop Boone's studies, and in aiding tho translating of Scripture into tho Cclestical tongue, it was necessary for him to become familiar with the Divine Word. Besides that, tho bishop made it his business daily to instruct him in tho New Testament. But for a long whilo no effect seemed to be produced upon his mind. At last, one day, much to tho missionary surprise, ho came hastily into his room with an opu Testament in his hand, aud exciainiea: "Whoever inauo this Jiook made me; it kuows all that is in my heart. It tells me what no ono else except a God can know about me. hoover made me i'ite M' ii,a'iior;i oimv.io;; The Issue i airlj Presented. 'iiic utiiv of Tcaiy. Wo found tho f'ollewiii'' Xonh German!

This conviction was followed by his eoiivcrsi.su. Our Agent in Constantinople. Bcv. I. G. Bliss, sends usauother most powerful proof of this self-evidencing andself-perpetuating power of the Holy Scriptures. It cannot bo five years since we first heard n little company, of eight or ten persons, were in the habit of meeting secretly for prayer uud reading of the Scriptures, in tho city of'Shinvau, or Shoiiuuoki. Tho report of a faithful aud trustworthy eyewitnes, now in this city, is that thuro are at tho present time between three aud four hundred families, or some two thou-1 sar.d persons, iu tho various cities and J towns of that district, who make the Scrip-1 titled themselves to tho thanks of all loyu men for making so clean mi issuo in their late Convention. Iu their iesolittioii that "the time has nrrivedlwhcn all true lovers of the Constitution arc ready to abandon the Monstrous ftdlary that tho Union can I'e restored by the armed hand," and in llteir nominotioii of Thomas H, Seymour for Governor, who has unqualified opposed ;he war from the start, the essential party distinction is fairly recognized,. The line is drawn just whore alone it coinislontly can be bo as to mako but'two sides, ono for uneonditional peace men, and tho other for unconditional war men. Wc like this. It is verai i ju; it is earnest; it is what these momentous days demand. The Connecticut Democrats are entitled to tho credit of leading tho way, and first taking squaro position on tho side of the rebels. Henceforth, to tho end of the war. every moment away from tho Admiiii.tra-tiou will be to that lino and no other. Wo say. on the side of the rebels. From tho outsot the cessation of tho war has bon all the rebels asked l'oo. Jell". Davis took ! tho earliest opportunity to proclaim to the world thatoll that the Confederates wanted was "to be let alone." His war is purely defensive. Ho would not force the North into a politeal connection with the Confed erates even if he could; for ho perfectly understands that any such connection, so long as the North retains its great superiority in numbers, would bo at tho cost of tho very object for which (ho Confederacy was founded on ils peculiar "cornerstone." To give Jeff. Davis peace is simply to roe-ognizo and ratify bocession. And notoniy tho present sooossiou, but all future secession! for it is with perfect consistency that these Hartford peace meu characterize tho United States as nothing more than a "confederacy of States co-equal iu sovereignty and political power," and impugn tho right of coercion as "a monstrous fallacy." They know full well that to question rearly in issue is, whether the National Government does or does not possess genuine authority that is to say, authority that can be en-forced. They boldly affirm that it docs not. The door which Jell'. Davis has opened to disorganization and anarchy, they are for It is tooi keeping r t L'ftmimr oiiai.

Iu what this opposition to tho Administration I means, llie heart ot the matter is at last reached. Opposition means peace, and peace means disunion. All of the clamor on minor points whitch has hitherto bceu of John's Adtiquarian Series, beautiful to remain iu the sole antiquarians: "There was once a mother and a child and. the mother loved this her only child wit li her whole heart, and thought she could not livo without it; but the Almighty lent h greatsieknessanioiigehildroiijwhicli seized this little onu, which lay on its sick bed, even to death. Three days and three nights tho mother watched and wept, and prayed by tho side of her darling child, but it died. Tho mother, ntwleft alone iu tho wido world, gavo way to the most violent and unspeakable grief, she ate nothing and drank nothing, and wept, wept, wept, three long days and three long nights, without 09 sing, calling constantly upon her child. The third night, as the thus sat ovureoino with suffering, in the place where her child had died, her eyes bathed in taars, mid faint from grief, the door softly opened, and the mother started, for bof'irtf her stood her departed child It had become aheaveuly angel, and smiled sweetly as innocence, and was beautiful like the blessed. It had in its hand a small cup that was almost running over1 so full it was. And the child spoke: "O! dearest mother, weep no more for nic; the angel of mourning has collected in this little cup tho tears which you havo shed for mo. If for me you shed but one tear more, it will overflow, and I shall havo uo more rest iu the grave, and no joy in heaven. Therefore. O dearest mother! weep no more for your chili ; for it is well and happy, and angels are its companions." It then vanished. The mother shed no nio.a tears that she might not disturb her child's rest in the grave, and its joys iu heaven. For the sake of her infant's happiness, she coutrolcd thi anguish of her itart. So strong acd self sacrificing is a mother's love."
