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. OCCASIONAL.

Arms for Richmond.
A Itiehroond pallet of today hen leave
' , respectfully submit to his 'Excellency, Go
vernor Paturomr, whom we know to feel deep
interest in all matters that concern law, order

well beforethe departure of the United States
garrison to take measures for the procure
ment of some small arms at least from the
Government at Washington, and, if possible,
to organize the nucleus of a force for this
city." Richmond made such good use of the
lust Government arms in her possession that
it would be doubtless only right to grant this

Jiuige Advocate Chipman made objections
to these letters, but the court refused to sus
tain the objections.
Colonel F . G. Ruffin testified that there was
,
tlefUlermy of commissary Stippling, and from
the beginning of the war more or less scaroluy;
he would not, say the army was on the point
of starvation, but that there was much priva
tion ; thirty thousand barrels of flour had ac
cumulated at Richmond in the spring of 18(11,
but the whole - of that reserve was consumed
by the Union prisoners.
Cross•examined by Colonel Chipman.—The
witness hIICW nothing about the Amtersonville
prison, but the prisoners wovevomoved from
Richmond thither because supplies were . prin-
Mpally drawn from Georgia. He did not know
that any of the Confederate soldiers starved
because of an insufficiency of food., but he had
heard that seine ofthem lost their lives because
of its unwhoiesomeneslS.
R. IL Kellogg, in reply to a questionswhether
during the time he was at Andersonyille he
knew or beard Of Captain Wlrz kicking, strik
ing, or shooting a man, so that he died, the
witness replied in the negative.
Major S. T 3. French, of the rebel comflitisary
department, testified to the defieiency of sup.
plies in the winter of Nes and spring of 1861.
he rations in the army were reduced, and
Vegetables imported from Bermuda through
the blockade. For five months preceding the
evacuation of Richmond there was never ten
days' supply on hand for Lee's army, and Lee
complained or the reduction of the rations.
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.

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 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

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

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

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

their re:minden expressing to Bishop Wilmer their
re [fret at his into pastoral address: therefore.
Resolved, That Oki: : : throw, does Hereby signify its
concurrence In sad aseeptellek, and der arcs its
full participation In the spirit and intent bt the
r•soletimr formally presented to the House, upon
the fulfilment of the conditions sot:tithed lu mes
sage No. 5.
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

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

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

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

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. Ile anggeSted that the mover of
the original resolution should accept this reso
lution (being resolution No. 2of the series) of

Mr. Pish accepted the amendment of Dr.
Vinton as a modification of Isle own.
Dr. 'Vinton then congratulated the House
upon the happy issue of the discussion upon
this awfully important cl.R9Won.
