The latest private telegrams from Washington to the Centennial Conuiis sioners here give every assurance that there is no longer any doubt of the action of our present Congress in their behalf The telegrams are, of course, of a strictly personal character, but they express con fident belief that Congress intends to endorse the movement of the President in regard to the proposed Centenniul. Your correspondent is enabled to stale that Presiden*. Grant has prepared .a spe cial message, which in a few days will be officially submitted, containing & brief analysis of the movement thus far, the national benefit to result from its fulfil ment, and nn earnest plea m&::gtC(&? grcss to recognize it in its proper light. 1'Kill'A KATION FOR TUR GREAT BUILDING Just now, more than at any other time in tho past, the movement is placed in a position to rapidly deve'.op. Recognizing the need of immediate action, that the buil iing may not be unfinished nt the. day of its opening, the board of Finance have issued printed notices (which will at onco find a place in the advertising col umns of leading journals), calling the attention of contractors, joiners, lumber men and builders, and desiring them to submit contracts for the erection of the main structure, which.as heretofore stated will cover tbe immense area of thirty acres of ground. The card sgeeifies that these contracts must be handed in bciore February 24. An earnest effort will be made to ren der the Eahtcrli Department of the ex position, which in the Vcnna project was so interesting, but yet so hicomplete,vcry comprehensive and very full. In the Austrian affuir ('hum took no official stand whatever. All Chinese productions upon exhibition thero were brought over by a few appreciative and, if it is rumored correctly, speculative Englishmen. The rich islands of the Pacific, China, Japan and indeed all the little provinces and territories under tho dominion of the Dutch, will bo thoroughly rnnsackcd,and all their quaint and curious industries will find a place in the beautiful Ameri can. Such a complete and perfect exhibit of the wealth and richness of the Indies will do much toward drifting their com merce in the direction of America, San Francisco being fully as near and under condition of moro ready access than al most any foreign port. It is believed that a natural predisposition upon the part of Eastern governments will favora bly incline them toward tnis project, and an effort will be made in this direction at once. It is confidently asserted that by securing a steady stream of commerce from the East we could pay every dollar that wc now owe to the West, while it is also believed that the American Centen nial Exposition is one of the best measures by which this healthy commerce could be brought about The plans for * THE EXPOSITION BUILDING are now com pitted, and, along with in terior and perspective views, were sub mitted last week to the official represen tatives in Washington. They are at prcs cut boing photographed, and will, of course, soon become familiarly recognized ,iu every section of the country. There is one element which ?nters into these plans and renders them of infinite superiority to those with which the world has become acquainted hitherto. It is this?Tho desigps, nside from being peculiarly orig in al.japd,.grand, and apart froni'tbeir al 'jnoat 'extraordinary lightness, grace and 6tre,ug^n,n.avo been worked up with the view of subsequently utilizing all tlio pieces of cast and wrought iron which compose them, so that there is scarcely a foot of iron in the immense etrubturo which, when the exposition is over, could, not bo used for some other purpose. For example, the sections of the roof, com posed of light iron, will all be found so constructed as to be made use of for the roofs of railway depots or for the cover ing ot'sheds, fco it is with the colums, spans, and arches. One rolling mill has already mado a bid for the building, agreeing to take back the iron which will compose it at one bull' its cost after the exposition is over. All remember bow earnestly the Belgian government desired to purchase tho Paris Exposition building nud yet, because the the sections of tho roof were rivcfed nnd too ponderous to be utilized, she could not do it, so that'a structure costing millions was forced to be sold as waste irion, by the pound, for a few paltry thousands. Our architects havo takcu cognizance of all these facts, and have developod the ideas set forth above. , Next week on Thursday the city of Baltimore will decide what action she will tuke in the great American scheme.

The work is gaining new enthusiasm, strength and vigor each day. Wheu Congress really acts, as it will counties, cities and States will naturally be zealous and put on the grab of work. ?New York Herald. A Warning to Lovers.

We observe, that iu all .churches there is au increase of direct ecclesiastical over sight ot the Sabbatli-sciiools.' For a long time the Sabbath-sclibor was -rrithcut church recognition, and for* nnstilJ longer time without supervision. . Its manage ment was left to those who might have an interest in the work, it being assumed that they would bo faithful and judicious It was also assumed that in the Sabbath schools there should be nothing denom inational, that only the great principles of our religion, held, in common by all evangelical churches, should be taught the children. Latterly, however, we find that those who demand the broadest lib erality arc becoming intensely active and, earnest in providing for the , denomina tional oversight of the, schools and train ing of tho ehildrqiu, Pqards,- committees or departments, are organised, papers and books are prepared for teachers aud pupils, and great care is*' t?ken that the schools ho made to subScrVe1 the interests of the denomination. <?; We approve of this.- We do sot con sider ourselves scctaraiu in . a narrow sense of the word; but our cofiviptions are strong, that so long ns any church con siders that it has a right to exist as a separate body, so long is4t under tho highest obligation ;tr? instruct and train its chihlien' in1 its -own . principles.

Tho Sabbath school is the training school for a large part of tho next genera tion of church members. It is, therefore of vital importance that right views of the work of redemption he inculcated, that right conceptions of,Christian life be formed. Instruction should have a posi tive and present the great doctrines of the Bible in their purity and full force. Much Sabbath-school teaching has been merely sentimental, or, ot best, too much restricted to general statements of the gqspel. The Citechism is regarded too doctrinal and difficult, and is permit ted to fall into disuse. A wrong is thus done to the children; a great wrong. Their capacity is unducrestimated, aud they are kept on the instruction suited to babes. At tho time they arc craving for more truth, when their minds are melting with and trying to understand the great questions concerning man and God, time and eternity, they are given only the repetition of.wh.Dt they have heard from infancy. Unsatisfied, they listen to the answer given by those who do not receive the Scriptures. We arc amazed, as wo are pained, when our young people be gin to drift away from the church, aud to deyclop uncvangclicnl or infidel tend encies; but if we will look at the charac ter of much of the teaching given we need not be so much surprised. When there is an abandonment of the Church of, their fathers it is commented upon ns unaccountable, or is explained by the unpopularity of our principles. Tho true explanation is, our principles have been ignored, and for years we have been fur nishing them with what tends directly to draw them away from the Church of baptism.?United PresbyWiiin. Ancient Devotion.?It was the cus tom among the young men of Athens, who listened to the teaching of Socrates, to bring some gifts in gratitude for his instruction. Gold and silver, and jewels worthy of the rank and wealth of the donor, were common gifts. One morning after the gifts had been presented, a youth too poor to bring an offering cast himself at tho feet of his teacher, whilo a Mush ovcispreud his manly face as ho cried: "O Socrates, I give mvself to thee!" There was a Mur mur of applause, showing that tho whole hearted, whole-souled gift was apprecia ted, Shall wo not, in like manner, give our-'' selves wholly to Christ? nil .that we have,, and all that we arc, to ?pend in, bis ser-^ vice?not only tho love of our beacts, the labor of our bauds, and all it WAi* possess? < , The apostle Paul says: "And ye'*afr?- ? n|)t your own.
