Cy 41,11 M, _YRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1861 Gann AND SHRAXAN —DRIKARKABLE LETTERS The correspondence between Generals DRAFT and BUSF,iIAN, after the appoint tnent of the former as Lieutenant General, on the let of March, 1864, which we copy to-day, is singularly characteristic of these two wonderful men. No better insight could be had of GRANT than his impulsive setter to SHER:ALAN at the moment of his elevation to the highest military position in the country, thanking him and General jth-PuEnsort for their noble co-operation in Support of his plans, and even placing him self below his illustrious subordinates in that brilliant promotion. It will be seen that he almost felt he could not accept the splendid prize without first offering it to his friend I Could there Pe anything more knightly or chivalric ? !The reader will answer this question affirm atively as he reads the reply of STIRRBIAN. As we remember that SiiNumAN wrote be- Tore he had projected his grand march upon Atlanta, thence to the seaboard, and from the sea to the ,centre of North Carolina, his words glow with a certflin prophetic inspi ration. He describes his own character as be unfolds that of GRANT ; and with a quick and graceful candor delineates the soldier who baffles strategy with common sense, and leaves "books of science" for the steadier help of an undoubting kith. That part of SilsnmAx's letter which draws a parallel between WASHING .7ON and GRANT does not seem an exag geration in the more sober light that re= Teals his moral nature, and proves it to be in marvellous harmony with his military ibrtitude and patriotic zeal. As we peruse and ponder on these two letters we do not 'wonder that LEE quailed and yielded to GRANT, nor that JOUNSToN succumbed to BaREMAN. May we not thank God that, Sbove all that has happened of cavil and of clamor, our Republic has been served and saved by two citizens, who have been as great in war as they have been unspoiled in victory and peace. LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL), WASHINGTON, Oct. 12, 1865 In the lustre of victories won for a good cause, men are prone to go back to see whether they might not have done better, ._nand to give a long, preparing glance into the unborn years, se that they may not do worse in the future. auu s in g the late .Eleetions by what the Copperheads ital'- ply that phrase always, not to the honest Democratic masses, but to those who will persiot in leading them to disgraceful de feat]—by what the Copperheads charged upon the National Union party, it might e fairly claimed that the people decided in thvor of negro suffrage and even civil negro equality. Their accusation that we were com mitted both to negro suffrage and to negro Equality,was so persistent and bitter, and the ilenial of it so contemptuous and except Ilona], that if there was any lAtclert to carry on the subject, it was borne not un willingly and most successfull2 to the end. But while we can extract much from the late elections to encourage progressive and Tearless action hereafter, we must be care- Jul not to rush into rash or ill-digested pro ceedings. Much is said about the educa tion of the enfranchised colored people, that they may be fitted for the responsibili ties of their new condition. But is it not equally necessary to look to the education of the whites, and these latter not only of the South, but of all the States ? Much lias already been accomplished in this respect. The schoolmaster has been a marvellous magician in dispelling the prejudices of party and of habit in the Northern and Western States ; and the war, which gave us both texts. and teachers, was the terrific tornado that purged the atmosphere of all its poisons, and tore out age-founded bigotry, even to the smallest fibres of its extremest roots. There is, nevertheless, a mighty work to be done. Happily, we lave plenty of time to do it in. We have just passed. out of a 'satisfactory election now, from the Elevation secured to the Union party by the votes of a trustful people, we may pa tiently provide our plans. First, let us In vite all men to come up and sit by our tide in these `preparatory counsels, There is no temptation for falsehood or facticin —no excuse for the demagogue and riercenary—now. The national offices are occupied ; the municipal offices have just been filled, and the contest for re_ presentative posts is a full year ahead of its. Bold men can talk without fear of mis representation by bad men ; and the " weak sisters," who so frequently admit the truth they are not assert, can now safely echo in words what they have silently responded to in thoughts, Is there any rational be ing -who thinks that government, or party, or society, or the church, can go on in-the old ruts and under the • old rules ? As well expect to run a locomotive along our stony streets, or to drive it through, or push it over our hills, without smoothing the one, perforating the other, or lev eling the third, Even the brutal braw ler against negro suffrage, cannot de- Oy that the " nig-ger" of to-day is another animal from the PlaVe of yes terday, and that he cannot get half ZS much either of rum or money by abusing the Abolitionists as he did a few years ago. The crafty leaders of the so called Democracy are probably the most annoyed by their dilemma; but men who meld so quickly forget their foul vitupera tion of Andrew Johnson, and become his friends, and coolly expect him to take them to his arms—such men will not stoop to discuss appearaneg when another change, - raore profitable and creditable, is demanded of them. They will no longer deny that the abolition of slavery has devolved , cer tain duties even upon them, if indeed, they care to look to an intelligent suffrage, or to live in the great events of a mighty Inoral revolution. They must admit the degrading folly of attemping to make Capital out of the possible enfranchise talent of the comparatively few colored People in the free States, when four mil 3ions of freedmen in the late slave states 2nust be educated, if the eight millions of whites in that section are to live and to prosper in safety and fair competition with their fellow-countrymen. Behold from this view of the compelled duty of the Democratic leaders, the solemn, exacting, yet not less agreeable obligation laid upon the prominent men of the great National Union Party I The voice of inspiration could not make this obligation stronger than the simple statement of it in a single Sentence.

By the court.—General Lee had bread every day, but several times telegraphed to Rich mond that he was without meat ; in such in stances the people of Richmond would collect the supply; General Lee informed the witness he had frequently been prevented from mOv mg because of not having subsistence. Dr. nor Ayes recalled for the defence.—Capt. Wir, he said, wag sick two-thirds if not the whole of the month of September; he had never dressed, in the hospital, the wounds of men who had been wounded with a pistol or revolver; the witness said he. told Captain Wins that he- ought to have his right arm treated, but the captain thought it would get well by his own treatment, he being himself a doctor. J. W. Armstrong, Jr„ of Madan, GeOrZia, a captain in the commissary's office of the Con federate service, testified that when he first went to Andersonville thl3 rations to the Con federate solclici , a and Vie prisoners were the same. Several boards of survey condemned the food there; Captain Wirz had nothing to do with the commissary supplies, except ing to receive them. The court adjourned until to-morrow. THE VIRGINIA ELECTION. ritk UNION CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS SUCCESSFUL. 46 FatiTIIESS MONitoz, Oct. 12.—The Virginia election passed off--quietly, and the Union CODgreS.9l.o.lllll tiCket 13 probably elected in the First and Second districts. L. U. Chandler is undoubtedly elected to Congress from Nor folk. idimiiiwiaaum=ai=anc•ali ' -An editorial in the Richmond Republic, pub lished on the day of election (Thursday) shows who were entitled to participate in the eleC tion, and who were competent to be elected to office. The Republic says: "There should be no confusion or mistake in the public mind on the subject of eligibility to office. The regulations with regard to mem bers of Congress differs from those relating to State officers, The Congressional test oath has been made so prominent Vo. the canvass that it is useless now to produce it. In brief, it requires everybody claiming office under the Federal Government to swear that he has not countenanced, aided or participated in the rebellion ; and the oath is couched in such searching terms that no one who has counte- Dented the Confederacy, or, any one engaged in its cause, can hold office. The provisions of our State constitution and laws on the subject of eligibility to office are very stringent in excluding persons who have held office natter the Confedera6y from onlee-under the State Government but is more 'liberal with refer enco to the elective franchise. AU can vote for State officers who have not held office un der the Confederacy . and its State _govern ments but those who have held office can neither vote or hold office. The Legislature did not have the power to rescind the oath j " Tint I have not voluntarily given aid and assistance, in any way, to those in rebellion against the - United States Government since January Ist, 1864," so far as office-holders are concerned. For the Constitution expressly says : The Legislature shall only have the power to rescind the oath with regard to voters." The Constitution further Says ; "That those who have been disfranchised by this provision—the oath—shall or may be restored to the rights of voters 0n1y,7 ,, ami this right was restored last June. But with regard to offlee-holders MIAS!. this Constitution, They shall take and subscribe the aforesaid oath," to wit : " That I have not, since January], 18th, voluntarily given aid or assistance, in any way, to those in rebellion," etc. The removal mf the restriction upon office-holders was submitted to the people by the Legislature last June, and will he voted upon on the second Thursday in October, cur rent month. The Legislature in June last re scinded the oath, " That I have not aided or assisted in the rebellion," as regards voters only, because the provision to repeal it was in the Constitution at the time it was adopted by the convention which met in Alexandria February 13, 1864. But there was no. similar provision provided in the Constitution for office-holders. Hence it is beyond the possi bility of doubt that, whether any one hell wilco or not under the Confederate Goverl - inent, it is impossible for i one who did service to take:the oath essential to holding office without committing the clearest perjury, viz.: $ 1 That I have not given aid or assistance, in any way, to those, in rebellion," etc. tipon the authority of the Constitation, this Is the oath to be taken by the office-holders under the Constitution, and none other."

The ILouse of CleriCal and Lay Deputies re assembled yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, in Bt. Andrew's Church. 2 302 1,007 The usual devotional services were read by Bev. Dr. Gillette, of Texas, and Rev. B. Y. Mc- Muter, of Minnesota. The minutes or the previous day were read and approved. The order of business being the reception of reports' from committees, Rev. D. .H. Buell, chairman of the Committee on New Dioceses, submitted the following roport : Whereas, A petition has been presented to the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies from tile clergy and perishes of Western Pennsylvania, praying that all that portion of the State of Pennsylvania lying west of the eastern line of the counties of McKean, Cameron, Clearfield, Cambria, and Somer set, as the said line of those counties is now es tablished by law—said portion of the State being part. of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, and of no other diocese—be separated from the Diocese of Pennsylvania, and formed Into a new diocese; and whereas, it appears by official documents laid before this House that both the bishop and the convention Of the Diocese of Pennsylvania have consented to such separation and formation of a new diocese. and that all the requirements of the fifth article of the Constitution and of the canons are lifultilleci;— therefore Resolved, That, the House of Bishops concurring, this convention does hereby ratify the above-men tioncd dlt•lsfoy of,tpg.,~Jg,Opd'iQ.:,Qf„s,E?{gly r frnnW Hof the • new diocese above described, sum. division to take effect on the first of November next, and that lids General Convention does hereby recognize the union with the General •Convention of the new new dloceim West of the above-named county boun dary to take effect the said first day of November next—die name of the said new (110M5C to be deter mined by its (invention, With the concurrence of the bishop and Standing committee orals Diocese of Pennsylvania. Mr. Buell stated that, from the documents be fore them it appeared to the committee that the clergy an churches of the new diocese had not only complied with all the require ments of the Church, but had gone further, and, in compliance with a request'of the con vention of the diocese of Pennsylvania to raise the gum of 00,000 toward the episcopate fund, had actually raised over ft.% 5 , 00 ff to be a.ll - o t N O .ei r t e h 'supportopiioeuf theof h u e e p w re e a l gitre P :n te d resolutions. Hon. L. B. Otis, of Illinois, signified his de sire of amending that portiOn of the resolu tions with reference to allowing the old dio cese to dictate a pante for this new diocese. To permit that would be a violation of all ear. rectpractice. The new child of the Church should establish its own name when it meets in its primary convention, or a name should be given by the Church here assembled. He suggested that the liable of the Diocese Of Pittsburg should be given by this convention, which might be retained until the primary convention of the new diocese assembled. He finally moved to amend so as to Strike out of the resolutions the Welds, "with the con currence of the bishops and standing commit tee of the Diocese of Pennsylvania. Mr, Wm, Wepsh, of Pennsylvania, a member thehe Committee on NOSen, explained reasons gvvernin thecaamittee in the course which they hadadopted. Mr. Buell., the chairman of the committee, said that the. 'wince of the diocese, in this re spect, had not been made , known to the convention. He believed that by giving the name of "The Diocese of Pittsburg” it wonld not only tend to cause confnelen, inasmuch as the Roman Catholic diocese was known by that name, but it would introduce s new system of nomenclature. In the hands of the Bishop and Standing Com mittee of the Diocese of Pennsylvania he felt well-assured that the matter would be wisely detrmined, and no rash step taken. Rev. G. Einlen Hare, D. D., of Pennsylvania, 'expressed himself Cenlosed to any innovation upon established usage in this seeped, and advocated the propriety of continuing to give . dioceses those names that would best express the whole extent of the region over which the bishop had jurisdiction. 'While willing to give the new diocese the largest authority In iti local jurisdiction, he thought, with the com mittee,. that the elder diocese should be con. suited in the present instance. Rev. at. A. DeW. Booed , of PenneylVania,Said that, in view of, future divisions of this state into dioceses, the ancestral name of Pennsyl vania would at some period be departed from, unless the names of Northwestern, Southeast ern and Central Dioceses of Pennsylvania were given to those new dioceses thus created. Re thought the committee had acted properly in their report. Bev. Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, asserted his firm belief in the Church to which he belonged as being the Church of Christ, and expressed his astonishment that any member of the House objected to the name Diocese Of Pitts burg" OIL the ground amply that that Was the name used in the Boman Catholic Church, He thought the distinction between the two titles would be sufficiently evident, inasmuch as one represented the true holy Catholic Church and the other the Church of, Rome. Ile WilS opposed to the general prineiple Of constitutinf small bishoprics. The detia e was interrupted to receive the following message, from the House+of Bishops Resolved,. That message No. 4 from the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies lie referred on the part of this House to the Committee nons, and that we respectfully Suggest to theof Clerical and Lay Deputies than he Committes on their part be also the Committee on Canons, as the same sub is et has already by this House been referred to the Committee on Canons. Rev. Dr. Adams resumed. By naming the new diocese alter the See into *Melt the Ro man Catholic Bishop had intruded,the Church would say to good and zealous men all over the land that there were two bodies claiming to be the Holy Catholic Chlireli—the one the Reformed Church of England; the other the Church of Rome. It was admitted that there Was a Homan Catholic church at Pittsburg, but the Church had nothing to do with that schismatic and corrupt body. The speaker contended - that the early usage of the Church was invariably that of nataing Bishops after the cities in which they resided, and such a change in the present practice would not in crease the number of Bishops more than five or ten. He desired that the Bishops might be BO placed In order that their influence . might be brought to bear more directly upon the masses, and in this connection referred to the great skreading_of the Roman Catholic Church Uhrotig out the - Wed,' lie submitted an amend ment requiring that henceforth, in cases of divisions of dioceses, the new dioceses be named from the largest city within their Drunk', etc. The subject wag then informally postponed, The hour of twelve o'clock having arrived, the House took up the special order, which was tile consideration of the report of the Committee on the Conaeoration of Bishops re , naive to the consecration Of Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama. - Rev. Dr. Cummins, of Illinois, said that it was the glory of the Protestant EplaCOPiii Church that she was the last Christian body to break the bonds of union between the Northern and Southern sections of this coun try ;. and if this Convention was wise, and %would meet the present emergency, she would have tlie everlasting honor of being the first Christian body to restore the bonds of union between the two sections, and to gather them utintind weave them together in a chain of love, never again to be broken. The councils of this Church, unlike those of other bodies of Christians, were never distracted by the con vulsions which shook the country. While the Methodist first, then the Baptist, and then the Presbytarian Church broke asunder, the Pro testant Episcopal Church stood together to the very last, a solid phalanx of brethren. It hadd - been argued here that the churches in the South acted under compulsion • but this the speaker denied. They acted voluntarily, The brethren in the South acted upon prin. ciple. They were taught from their childhood Sat their allegiance belonged first to their State, and when the war was created they were compelled, thOlth it broke their hearts, to go with it. The heart of one man at least, Bishop . Head, of Virginia, had broken under the weight of tbetalamity which had befallen the course Of our Southern brethren. He did not believe that the action of our Southren brethren was schism. The meaning of schism was a rending of the Church in twain. But they believe that their goVerrinient was not only their government de i , dcio, but also de Are; and they believed they were right. Wah3 the. Church in-Scotland 'schis matical i yet the two cases were similar, When the storm came down upon the ship of State, the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States was a unit. That storm had Separated the body fora time g but the Mo ment it began to break, the Diocese of Texas began to take action looking to its return, and it was followed by other Southern dio ceses. And some gentlemen had said that we were getting down upon our knees to thank them tor it. But had those gentlemen forgot ten that they could not have acted differently I The Baptists,. the Methodists and other reit gloms bodies had refined a union, but the cler gymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church, North and South, were actuated by a different spirit. A deputy from New York had endeavored to convey the ides. that, in accepting the Bishop of Alabama as a bishop of this Church, the convention was surrendering not only its jurisdiction, but the vey prayer book.—the charter of the Church. That gentleman had pointed the Rouse to the oath, But the Church ought to know, and the gentleman would not bepermitted to deceive them, that the very question of Bishop Whiner's return was de. pendent upon his sending back that Oath sign ed by himself, promising conformity to the doctrine, the discipline, and the worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United. Stalest. Thescntleman sitting before the speaker (Dr. etoodwin) bad made use of the expression that the convention was called upon to sanction the action of the Bishop Oi Alabama before he was received back. lint that was a false issue. There was not a man in the convention who did not regret the action of that bishop. The House of Bishops had rebuked him;. and; Church was the fist man in the history. of the Church who had been the subject of a rebuke by a solemn message from that august body. however, the Church refused to accept the- Bishop of Alabama, it placed that diocese of Alabama Outside Of the limits of the Church, and necessitated it to go into a. state of schism. Any such course the speaker warmly depre. sated. Dr. Kerfoot submitted the following:: hererfB, The House uf Bishops, in their message No. 5. have c.mmistinieated to UM, nolo.isithetr ac ceptance of Bt. Bev. Richard Hooker Witmer D. 1)., as Bishop of Alabama, on the condition of concurrence of this House in their action. and of tine snit bishop transmitting in writing to the pre siding bishop his willingness to NUB eertilin chit- gatioast i tort. whereas, They have r Informed this House of their re:minden expressing to Bishop Wilmer their re [fret at his into pastoral address: therefore.

Ile remarked that the brethren or the church in the South had done only that which he would have done under !similar circumstances, en would oleo ninety.nine.One hundredths of the churchmen of the North. file reepeetc4 the consciences of the men who had thus acted. Though unwise in his action, Bishop Wilmer gas one of the noblest and soundest men of the Church, and was entitled to great respect. The speaker then advocated- the adoption of the resolution he had offered as being peculiar• ly appropriate. lion, Hamilton Fish, of Now York, said that he supposed no one doubted the validity of the consecration of Bishop Wilmer; but the ease abonld be looked at in the light that he was a crated i n i shoso Chucmu. c T hs h church not Caned THREE CEISTTS. of him, as it did of every other 'bishop, mil fortuity to its doctrines. Ile could net be ad mitted to the juris_diction of one of the die. ceses of the Church until he acknondbdged that conformity t which should be held' as n condition preconent. Wishing from the: bot tom of his heart to give the jurisdiction. of Alabama into the hands of Binhop Wilmer, the speaker could not so vote until that gentle• man had given the declaration. of conformity imperatively required by the Church. lie de= sired, toe, dint ads declaration of confor mity should receive more publicity thali that given in a mere letter. It was but pro. per to require at least that the oath should be certified to in the presence of others— of one person at least. The Church. wished to transmit to future generations the' teedlid evidence of succession; but how wan that evidence to be transmitted in thiS- ease? These views the speaker had embodied' in a -resolution Which he desired to offer, hi the shape of an amendment, as follows ; To atrike out the concluding words, "upon the fulfil ment of the conditions specified in Message NO. 5," and in serting, in lieu thereof, the worasi Provided, however, that said acceptance of the Right Rev. Richard Hooker Wilmer, 13: - D.; be noteonsummated, and that the consent to his thus acting as Bishop of the Diocese of Alabama be not given, until he shall have transmitted in writing (to lid signed by him in the presence of three bishops), to the Pre siding Bishop of the House of Bishops, the promise of conformity in the Mee for the consecration of bishops t and shall also have transmitted to said presiding bishop his let ters of consecration ; or, in default of the ex istence of such letters, evidence authenticated in the fullest manner now practicable of his having been consecrated a bishop of the Church of Christ designating accurately the time and place of the same, with the names of the consecrating bishops, and of others pre sent and assisting, if any such others there ) L 4.yrffer - tVlifenteibi eubseeration, snail'. be committed to the eustedsi of the registrar of the General Convention, and shall he by him duly recorded." The speaker continued: - Anxious to make the velure of the bishop as pleasant as possi ble, I cannot ignore existing fact 9. I want to stand with outstretched' arms to receive oar brethren, but we must have some movement front the other side. We open the door anti say to Bishop Wilmer " come." It will thenbe his duty to come with his letter. and evidence of consecration. The amendment of Mr. Fish being before the house, Hon. Ezekiel F. Chambers rose to sedoilal He thought that the question was thereby pre sented in a proper form. whe Bishop of Ala bama was not at present a bishop of the P. E. blinreh of the States. lie was °Dieted and consecrated a bishop altogether under a different administration not professing to be a part of this Church.; yet, he was as much a Wallop OA the presiding Bishop ofthe Houser/I - Bishops.. The question was as to Mai the eon.. vention was to deal with such a bishop. Gen. tlemen talked of conformity or quasi con formity to the canon of the Clairelii hut there was no canon which had any reference to the coming into the Church of a bisho after his consecration. He did not believe there was a member of the convention, either clerical or lay, who did net, desire the union of the Church in Alabama with that of the Milted States. There were many other Protestant Episcopal bishops in. the world who were not inshops of this Church. How did they become connected with the Church of the United Stalest Simply by conformity to the doc trines, etc., of the Church of the United States, Tim speaker stated that he was intimately acquainted with the fanigy of Mr. Wilmer, the father of Bishop }Witmer, and they trod nu , Lust tation in saying that the bishop desired to see a reunion of the Church North. and South. [A voice: "Why does he not come forward and .say §61 9, 1 Dr. Vinton, of New York stated hie netief that the question before the house bad reached a peiat at which a vote might be taken. Ile had drawn np a resolutida according silbStati. tally with that offered by Mr. Fish, and upon comparing the two resolutions lie had found that his colleague and himself, so far as their views were so expressed, exactly coincided in sentiment.
