Hemarksof Sergeant Til men Joy to the White
Man's Committee of Spunky 1'oint, Hi.)
J reckon I git your drift, gents
Ton 'low the boy staan i stay;
Tbis ) a white man's country;
You're Dlmocrats, yoa say:
And whereas, and seein', and wherefore,
The times beln' all out o' jint,
The nigger bas got to mosey
From the limit o' Spunky P int!
Le's reason the thing a minute;
I'm an old-fashioned Dimocrat, too,
Though I laid my politics out o' the way
For to keep till the war was through.
But I come back here, atlowln'
' To vote as I used to do.
Though It gravels me like the devil to train
Along o' bich fools as you.
Now dog my cats ef I kin see,
In all the light of the day,
"What you've got to do with the iu stion
Ef Tim shill go or stay.
And furder than that I give notice,
Ef one of you tetches the boy,
Be kin check his trunks to a warmer clime
Than he'll find in lllanoy.
Why, blame your hearts, jest hear me!
You know that ungodly day
When our left (struck Vlcksburg Heights, how
ripped
And torn and tattered we lay.
When the rest retreated I staid behind,
Fur reasons sulllcient to me
With a rib caved in, and a let; on a strike,
I sprawled on that cursed glacee.
Lord! how the hot sun went for us,
And br'iled and blistered and burned!
How the rebel bullets whizzed round us
When a cuss in his death-grip turned'.
Till along toward desk I seen a thing
I couldn't bell've for a spell:
Tbat nigger that Tim was a-crawlin to me
Through that fire-proof, gilt-edged hell!
The rebels seen him as quick as me,
And the bullets buzzed like bees;
But he jumped for mo, and shouldered me.
Though a shot brought him once to his knees;
But he staggered up, and packed me off,
With a dozen stumbles and falls,
Till safe in our lines he drapped us both.
His black hide riddled with balls.
80, my gentle gazelles, thar s my answer,
And here stays Banty Tim;
He trumped Death's ace for me tbat day,
And I'm not going buck on him !
You may rezoloot till the cows come home,
But ef one of you tetches the boy,
He'll wrastle his hash to-night in hell,
Or my name's not Tiluiou Joy !

1ST HHET HARTE.
KATI1ER FELIPE.
I speak not the English well, but Pachita
She speak for mo; is it not so, my Pancha i
Eh, little rogue ? Come, salute mo the stranger
Americano.
Sir, in my country we say, "Where the heart Is
There live ttC :?.:ecfa." Ah! you not under
stand? So!
Pardon an old man what vou call 'ol fogv"
Padre Felipe!
Old, Senor, old! just so old as the Mission.
You see that pear-tree? How old you think,
Senor?
, Fifteen year? Twenty? Ah, Senor, just fifty
Gone since I plant him!
You like the wine? It is some at the Mission,
Made from the grape of the year Eighteen Hun
dred, All the same time when the earthquake he came
to
San Juan Bautista.
But Pancha is twelve, and she is the rose-tree:
And I am the olive, and this is the garden.
And Pancha wc say; but her name is Francisca,
Same like her mother.
Eh, you knew her ? No ? Ah ! it is a story
But I speak not, like Pachita, the English.
So ? If I try, you will sit here beside me,
And shall not laugh, eh ':
When the American come to the Mission
Many arrive to the house of Francisca.
One he was line man he buy the cattle
Ol Jose Castro.
So ! he came much, and Francisca she saw him;
And it was Love and a very dry season
And the pears bake on the tree and the rain
come,
But not Francisca;
Not for one year; and one night I have walk
much
Under the olive tree, when comes Francisca
Comes to me here, with her child, this Fran
cisca Under the olive tree.
Mr, it was sad . . but 1 speak not the English
So ?. .she stay here, and she wait for her hus
band He come no more, and she sleep on the hill-side:
There stands Pachita.
Ah ! there's the Angelus. Will you enter ?
Or shall you walk in the garden with Pancha ?
Go, little rogue stt attend to the strauger.
Adios, Senor.

So, he's been telling that yarn about mother !
Bless you, he tells it to every stranger.
Folks about yer say the old man's my father,
. Whut's your opiulou r
St. i'lemeut's Chuifli,
Tti the Editor of The Keening Telegraph.
Allow me to trouble you with a few words,
called forth by the communication signed "A
Parishioner," published April 1, In which he
complains that "the original cause of difference
between the high contending parties is lost
from sight," and of "a noticeable fact, to wit,
the omission of all reference to the vestry's
original charges against the clergy, of setting
up a confessional in the church, and teaching
tbe efficaciousness of prayers for the dead."
I do not intend to discuss, but simply state
facts, in relation to these two questions and
their connections, leaving out of sight alto
gether all side issues, such as "financial suc
cess," "the spiritual state of the vestry,"
"candles," "millinery," "embroideries,"
"crosses," etc., as mere dust cast into the eyes of
the public, causing the two other grave matters
to be "lost from Bight" altogether.
In reference to private auricular confession,
Mr. Morris asked the rector, in vestry meeting,
"First, whether auricular confession is encour
aged by the rector or assistant minister of St.
Clement's Church? and whether the same is or
has been practised in the parish buildings or
elsewhere by the rector, or assistant minister
with the knowledge of the rector? And
whether It is true that the Rev. Mr. Prescott
has heard confessions at St. Clement's Church
with the consent of the rector?"
To all of lloese questions, each and several, the
rector replied "intlie affirmative;" that is, that
auricular confession it tucouraged by the rec
tor or assistant mlnlsterof St. Clement's Church,
that the same is practised In the parish build
ings by the rector or assistant minister, with the
knowledge of the rector; and that the Rev. Mr.
Prescett has heard confessions at St. Clement'
Church, with tbt consent of the rector. It is in
vain to deny all this, and If it be attempted,
proof is at band, for the rector has admitted all
this to other parties lesides the vestry, and has
ttated, also, that seven-tenths of thejperions so
-"'fifeisicg were malt. TLli has beeu done by
several persons systematically, regularly, with a
view to private absolution, and as a prepara
tion to the Holy Eucharist. And it has been
poken of freely, openly, and repeatedly by
those who practise it, the young men, members
of the Guild of the Holy Cross, who have made
no effort to conceal It. Names can be given, if
necessary, of these young men making these ad
missions and statements la public places and in
private families.
These disclosures by them have been deemed
Imprudent, but the fats of such private auricu
lar confessions and absolutions having taken
place and being a part of the system at St. Cle
ment's cannot be denied. If It be not so, let Dr.
Batterson now come out plainly and boldly and
tleny it, Instead of trying to dodge it and explain
It away and cover it up by a reference to the
public coDiession and absolution in tUe open
services of tbe Church. He has not said one
word in denial of this grave charge brought
against him, nor can he deny it, aud it is in
vain to say, moreover, that it is "not compul
sory, but voluntary and free." The truth is,
tlie Church in this country contemplates no such,
thing she makes no provision for it and one
who has sworn at the altar to conform to her
laws aud usage?, and administer the doctrine
and services ot tbe Church a "this CnuRcn"
(the Protestant Episcopal Oturch In these
United States) "has received the same," has no
Inherent right, in the words of tbe Bishop, to
hear confession and grant absolution "outsiib
OF THE FORMS AND WAYS SPECIALLY I'itO
VIDEI." But from all this, Dr. Batterson says, he
"totally dissents." That is, be will not allow
the Church to legislate for him, and sojhem him
in. His opinion is superior to the judgment of
the Bishop, and lie will be the judge if the
Bishop's counsel is to be respected and obeyed
or not. He is above tbe Bishop, and his solemn
ordination vows are not very binding after all.
He is an "Anglican churchman;" be has re
ceived his vows from the English Church, and
in Ids ordination vows he solemnly promised
conformity to the usages aud forms of tbe "4u
glican Church," and not the Protestant Episco
pal Church in these United States. How ab
surd! How wilful and Insubordinate! For
it Is nothing more nor less than an effort
to subject settled and established ecclesi
astical authority to high-banded Insubordination
and defiant misrule. The great difficulty with
Dr. Batterson and others like him, holding and
proclaiming and defending and practising
these extreme views of what are termed the
school of advanced ritualists, is this, that they
swear before God and men and angels to con
form to the'doclrines and usages of this Church,
and minister them "as this Church has received
the same," at their ordination a vow moro
solemn than which none can be made on earth;
and then, from whatever cause or by whatever
Influence, are induced to take another set of
oaths, directly at variance with the first, in be
coming members of a 6ecret association called
the "Guild of the Holy Cross," having its rami
fications more or less over the land, the direct
if not professed object of which is to revolu
tionize the Church, since she has in
their opinion reformed too much, to
unprotestantize her, to bring her back
to a state which these gentlemen consider tho
beau ideal of a more perfect Church than tho
one to which tbey have sworn conformity and
allegiance. Thoy having been admitted by or
dination into the Church regarded as the great
bulwark of the Keformation in this country.turn
sappers ana miners, ana rather than not succeed
will blow the whole up, and themselves wlta It.
They get aboard the ship in a subordinate capa
city, and then try to turn her Into a piratical
cratt; ana it the oiuecrs proton against it, ana
try to get tne snip out 01 tucir nanus, ana tne
high-handed crew tbat are helping them, they
show fight, and try to cover up their nefarlom
designs by tho cry of persecution aud protesta
tions ol innocence, etc.
But in reference to this "Guild of the Holy
Cross:" It is the "hot-bed of all this trouble;
the place" where all these foreign exotics are
forced and obtain their luxuriant growth tbe
natives of an Italian clime. The constitution
and by-laws and regulations of the order show
it. It is as thorough a Jesuitical organization as
ever was gotten up, and edutatcs men, neces
sarily, to dishonesty and deception, as the whole
of its history and operations will show, and
especially the clergy connected with it, necessi
tating, as it does, the violation of their soloran
ordination vows, for no man can be an honest
clergyman, that is, true to his vows, and be
associated with, and aid and abet. Jits objects
and aims and designs.
Its object, In the printed preface to its consti
tution, is, "the development of the ritual and
devotional th ineit in the Church, rather than
the simply charitable." Hence, what do we
find? Why, that in the development
of the devotional element In the Church,
the same "Guild of the Holy Cross"
has published and seeks to circulate,
among other most objectionable works, one
(we do not care to give it circulation by giving
its name) lor private devotion, paclced full of
all the stuff here referred to. Prayers for the
souls of the dead; private auricular confession
and absolution; the seven sacraments; the Eu
charistic cilice, arranged mass fashion, in pa
rallel columns; and even extreme unction or the
anointing with oil in extremis, with au office to
fit; and to cap the climax, the book has neither
the name ot the house that published it nor the
name of the dishonest bands that compiled it.
Why ashamed of it ? Because its character and
its object are so nefarious and dishonest and
openly at variance with the practice and teach
ings of the Protestant Episcopal Church
that no one dare avow himself its author or
openly state from what prets It was isued.
Aow.'lt is iust a branch of this Guild that has
its nest at Clement's, with the clergy at its
head, pledged to the teachings and practices
stated above, as a part and parcel of the ad
vanced school in question. Prayers for the
souls of the dead the seven sacraments (for
we have heard it proclaimed there that there are
more than two sacraments, "even many' ), "the
mass" (for that is the term used by these gen
tlemen of the Guild, rather than "Eucharist '),
"auricular confession, and private absolution,"
"extreme unction," and a kind of purgatory,
which Dr. Batterson in his discipline calls a
third place, in which Mr. Goodwin says the
souls of those that do not go direct to heaven
are detained, to be helped by tbe prayers and
oblations of the living, and especially in the
Euoharistic sacrifice, wheu they pray that "we
and all thy whole Church may obtain remission
vi our sins, etc.
The olllcers of no parish certainly can evpeot
to get along quietly with a secret association of
this kind within its bosom, pledged to such
teachlngs-and favoring such practices.
As to the elllcaclousness of prayers for the
bouIs of the dead, Mr. Morris asked "whether
the rector approves and gives his assent to the
doctrine as to prayers for tbe dead advanced by
the llev. Mr. Goodwin, in his sermon delivered
at St. Clement's Church on the evening of the
last Wednesday in Advent ? and whether the
propriety ol prayers for the dead is taught to
the Sunday-school teachers, or to the children ?"
To tho first question the rector replied that he
"is not responsible for Mr. Goodwin's teach
ings;" and to the second "that he had no per
sonal knowledge as to that clause" that l timt
he bad no knowledge whether prayers for the
Bonis oi me aeaa uaa ueen taugui to tbe Sunday
school learners or not. 2 ins was at a meetiug
of the vestry Jan. 3, 1871; and yet prayers for
the souls of the dead, as is well known bv ti,
vestry and others, hud been Uuirht distinctly
fu-iie iu iuc luuuiu oi jciuuer previous, ami
bad occabloned no little nohe and controversy.
as is ateo weu Known to tne vestry ana many
famines in tbe parbb; and the only unaecouuta
' hie thing is that Ir. Hatter son could nut know
I it. He may have forgotten it, with tho otUer
. occasions lu which it was dieliuelly broached
ana aavocHieii.
Now, this matter of "prayers for the dead"
wilh t!tse gentlemen means prayer for the
souls of the dead, acd is an entirely different
thing from that which Dr. iUttersou would
make it out iu an endeavor to cover it up. He
knows full well that the Church Indeed pravs
for "THK final consummation aud blUs, both in
body und soul, of ourselves with those who are
departed," and be knows at tbe same time that
this is a prayer for tbe reunion simply of soul
and body, by and at the resurrection of the
flesh, an event yet Bnaccomphstaefl.
But their teachings go farther than tbis, and
connect tbe beneflts to be derived to the
dead with the Eucharistlc service, and make it
virtually a sacrifice tor the benefit of ths dead, a
well as the living; In other words, a species of
mass, as that word is generally understood.
Let Dr. Batterson come out and deny that
prayers for the souls of tbe dead have been
taught, in that sense, in connection with St.
Clement's Church, and the proof to the contrary
is at hand. He cannot do It.
One thing is very certain, that if he adheres
to bis determination to have tbe teachings and
practices of this character continued, as he bas
announced that tbey will be, then certain fami
lies, if it cannot be rectified, will be obliged to
do as other families have already done, retire
from the parish rather than be pained by such
things, and have their children's minds poisoned
oy such error.
If they want that kind of thing they know
where they can obtain it, pure, unadulterated,
without any mask. A Churchman.
