. «4 to the protest signed by Messrs. McAoley,
Boas, McCarthy end Kincaid,- against the
passage of the ordinance granting the removal
of ihe'rtnblu of the PennsylvanialUUroad
from Libert/ street'. Hr. tfard thought it
: was due to the dignity of Councils that the
protest be stricken from the record.
Mr/ißbrgeraeconded the motion, for the
. reaednthat the protest characterized theUfcs
, sage of the ordinance “as an outrage upbn
the interests of.the citizens,” and hence to*
fleeted upon the majority of Councils.
. The President, as a signer of the protest,
• • disavowedany intention to reflect npon mem
bers, bat simply wished to express his own
thoughts in his own language.
Mr. McCarthy stated that the motion was
; r ont of order. ‘ It was the duty of the Clerk to
. keep a Jfclthfol, record of the proceedings of
Connell, and if the record was inaccurate, It
i. r.mlght of course be corrected, hut no part of

Religion in the Army-■■lnteresting
Meeting.
* A very large meeting assembled last even
ing, -in . the Second United Presbyterian
Church, (Her. Dr. James PreiUey.’s,) which
had for ita object • the. advanoemejit of the
morml and religiqas welfare of our soMlorsv.
The exerdUe*~vwe: opened by, flinging a
portion of .the 72nd Psalm, after which Dr.
Paxton offered a most feeling and fervent
appeal to the Throne of Grace in behalf of. the
soldiers and the country. < ■ :
• The Her. A. M: Btowart, Chaplain of the
Thirteenth Regiment, was then introduced to.
the meeting by Dr. PresUey. He gave a very
interesting statement of his experience in the
army, and especially of the moral and spiritual
condition' of onr soldiers. He did not some to !
say whether the war wax e-natural or unnat- I
oral one, but to.present some facts concerning
the' religious'and moral wants of the army. '■
He believed that it was the duty of Christians ;
to get more of theXord. Jesus Christ infused*
into our army. -The .camp was an unnatural:
pUce for religion, and it required great moral :
>oui»ge on thO'part of professed church mem
bers is the,army, to maintain their Christian
principles. . There was no mother, wife, sister;
or sweetheart 1 there to restrain the: husband,
son or 'lover from the numerous temptations !
which beset them' on every side.:, He .was'
pained to observe that some of the newspapers
were reflecting on the usefulness of the Chap
lains. He prbfegted,^in..the.most emphatta
terms, against this assertion, and stated that*
theeditorsknew butlittlo of the oharacter.oC
r wß9ofthesoldlets among whom r IbeUbip^
lains had to labor* *•
. He alluded .to the fact that our~army was
mainly composed of reading
men, and.of the effect, produced on ihe soldier
when-he’receives a letter or paper from home.
The soldier, no matter how wicked, was always
glxd to ge't something to read, and he appealed
to those having friends in the army not to
neglect them in this respect. He wanted some
systematic arrangement made by which papers
and books could be forwarded Without delay.
Allegheny county, had nearly 10,000 men. in
the fields and he thought their friends should
by. all means.. send them plenty of reading
matter. , ‘.r !
' v , He stated also that the Govbrhinbht; took
good care tbs soldiers in health; while those
in sickness rereived ‘but comparatively • little
attention, and at was the.duty ofthe people'to
assist in'tills matter.' As many of .thepapera
.gent to the toldiere never reached their desti
nation, he recommended, that books, papers,
etc., be forwarded by an agent, wbo. would be
responsible for their safe delivery.' .
/ Dr. Paxton followed-in a .few.; remarks,
pointing out the duty of tho charbb in this
matter; and urging/prompt and unremitting
.exertion in behalf ot the spiritual welfare of
the soldiers. . . '
Mr. M. B. Brown gave a very interesting
account of a recent visit fo some of the comps
in tho vicinltyof Alexandria, and was glad
to state that he saw but little immortality;
and union prayer meetings were frequent
among the soldiers. He also appealed to.those
having friends in the army to write often and
encourage them by kindly advice. 'He also
stated that each regiment should have at least
three feßiale nurses, to administer to the sick.
Dr. Frestley followed in a spirited address,
urging upon the chnrch the necessity of at
tending to tho moral interests of the [ soldiers.'
He allodod particularly to tho wante of Ihe'
sick, and regarded it as the imperative duty
of all classes of dtisens to see that tbe tem
ponl as- well as the spiritual Wants of the
soldiers are folly supplied. ~ They arW per
forming arduous and aangerons dados in.4he
field, and those at home should not negleet~to
. perform their pari.
The meeting adjourned with the benedic
tion by. Bov. McMillan. ,

- House. —Mr. Potter, of Wis./'repcrted the
following resolution, which was adopted: '/ . •
Sttoloid, That the Secretary Treaa
nry be requested to without delay, (o
the Seleot Committee instructed'to inquire
into-the alleged disloyalty'of jthf! government
employees, the informatioU : kiked for by the
letter of the 3d inst. r addressed by the Chair
man of the Committee to the Secrotaryof the
Treasury.
Mr. Potfer also reported a resolution call
ing on the Secretary of tho Interior te simi
larly respond. He said it'was necessary that
the Select Committee should have this-in
formation in order to make their report*
Mr, Wickliffe, of. Ky., not caring to vote
blindly on this question,inquired what was.
tho character of the information called for.
Mr. Potter explained: In-July last, the
heads of the Departments wsre requested to
furnish lists of their respective clerks, which
they did/andthe last request, which the Sec
retaries 'of the Treasury'and Interior have
not complied *>witb, was[ to furnish the com
mittee with the names j'of such clerks men
tioned in their first communication, who have
since been removed, designating such by
name. .It was necessary for the committee to
have the information in order to ascertain
whether the Departments have removed there
who have been reported [to them as disloyal;
so far as the committee [could learn this fact
from the evidence before foem. If such per
sons have not been removed, the Departments
by this call would hav& an opportunity to
furnish the reasons.
Mr. Wickliffe said he did not feel himself
called upon to defend the Departments named,
but he did not understand how~iar this
House has tho right to assume the Executive
powers of this Government. If he under
stood the merits of the pending question, it
was an inquiry why - the Heads of the De
partments had not remorsd certain persons ?
Mr. Oliin said that the persons who had
been charged with disloyalty ought to. have
an opportunity of refuting the allegations
which ne had learned, incidentally, had been
afforded them, ,
Mr. Wickliffe, resuming/ said that if wo
have Heads of Departments who are not com
petent to judge ot the qualifications or loyalty
of their subordinates, we should itriko stand
remove theml! , We should aia at higher game
than mere Clerks.';-'.--. /-J*'. -
Mr. Mallory, of Kentucky, olftecied fo the
introduction of the resolution, calling, en the’
Secretary of the Interior for information. • • -
•Mr. Potter Said that tfc* remarks of the
gentleman from ,Kentucky,' WlokHffe, would
be proper if the question Were bn the appoint
ment of the Committee, but the. Committee
has already "been appointed. The rexy ob
ject, sending to. the Departments' the testi
mony affecting the disloyalty of; $O. Clerks,
was to afford an opportunity for.: vindication.
The Committee have nbt dedded on any mat
ter; jlhey have merely tamm testituony and
submitted it to tirt Heads;of ihe Departments
for their consideration an 4 fla would
inform-the gentleman -from Kentucky that
there were, to-day, in the employment of the
Government, /flvec huhdtoa Clerks who
•te- disloyal, the- “Jbaire are,
also men in - the.. departiaents w&o have
never uttered one word .of ■sympathy for
the, Government, notwithstanding the peril
which'surround it. The departments hare
not, in thU respeot, performed their duty. In
a great many cases where clerks have been
charged witfr disloyalty, parties have come
before the Committee, and-called on-God to
Witness that they were loyal men ; while
others brought letters from Senators and metn
bers of the House, dsolarin* them.to be loyal
men. In many,instances- the persons so cer
tified to si loyal men have left this district, and
are now to be found in the ranks of the enemy.
Every,man employed should have the oppor
tunity to give evidence of Us loyalty; and
this was tbe oMoot-of the Committee.- The,
resolution belng ohjeetcd to, it wae reoaived

Sib: In obedience: tivyone. orders.of the
14th inst., I left the harbor at daylight of .the
lfitia,'accompanied by the' gun* boat Seneca,
Lieut. Commander Daniel; Ammen, and the
coast Survey steamer Vixen, Cast. C. O. Bou-
at the bar, found itiaai the heavy,
north-easter, .which, waa. blowing hard, raised
to tnoh a sea as to render it ques
tion to attempt entering the river, which I
was direotod to examine. I then rethrned to
which I left a sfoohd time,
however/ oh tho following;'morning; and
reaohed the North Edistofat 2 o’clock Shortly
after, I orossed the bar with the Soneea, pi
loted in by-Captaln Boutelle in the Vixen,
which vessel he, however, loft, when we were
inside, for th# .Pawnoe, his vessel remaining
astern of us. At this time.we could plainly
see fortifications ahead, on Edisto Island, dis
tant a mile and a half.. As it was reported to
me, thAt they were ; filled with mcn,lc6m
menoed firing slowly, from my how-guns; as
did the Seneca, but receiving no answer, soon
ceased, and running' by the hatterieß, anchored
in the North Edisto river. , -
On landing I found the fort> whioh was en
tirely deserted, to eoniist of two redoubts -for
five guns each, connected by a* long, curtain
and proteoted fo the'rcar by a double fence of
thicks plank, with, earth between, and' loop
holed. The guns, as'the' negroos Informed
mf, had all. been removed toward Charleston
same weeks back.' While I was making thfe
'examination.Col. Azomen bad proceeded up
ihe river, for ' about five mites, the effect of
which was immediately apparent in the flring
of oottorr houses and out-hulldings. As,
during the night, some negroes, came on hoard
and informed of/that at -the small town- of
Rockville, which was In full sight, there was
a large enduhpment of soldiers; at' least 500,
and Capt.' Boutelle offering to go up the
creek on which it was I determined to make
then a visit in the Vixen, and, at daylight of
thel7th, went on board of that vessel for the;
purpose,' taking .. with' mo tho :boats and
marines ot the gunboats Pawnee'and Sen
eca, under charge of Acting. Master Snell.
Owing to our running ashore, we did not reach
-the town until near! o’clock, a' little above
which was a sloop laden"with cotton and pro
vis|ons, whioh I took possesaton of and.towed
alquesidc. , .There being still no eignroMifo
on..snore, ; i landed, without 'men. fo recon
.noitre, and was soon satisfied that the troops
bod Itit/as the'ftrat thing, seen was the. no
groei pillaging a building in wbich there was
;a large .quantity of oommiiaary stores, con
sisting of rice, sugar, bacon, corn, Ac. This
I stopped-at once, end had what/remainod
removed to the Vixen. Being then informed
that the'Camp, which waa a mile from the
was'entircly deaorted, I went thore,
but although/ so fer as I could learn, the troops
had left at day Ugh t, and it was then only a
little after 8/o’clock/the neg Toes, whonfT
found as busy 'as beer, had removed, the . most
valuable part jbf Iwhaii Lad been' lefl/whieh
was nearly - every tiling . exfoptipg J their
arms. Theenoarapment was wlarge one; hod
beenpccqpled Tot [many months; and ite late

Sibley teats, and four ordinary tents, besides
ii quautlty of articles' of no particular valucy
which .were'' lying about, and found vat a
aeighhoriog bouse, .which seemed to hare been
used as haadqaarters,. a/ Confederate . flag.
-Having'‘pretty well- cleared: the aground of
what was worth removing, ahil being desirous
of examining above, I loft at tworefelock, and
proceeding up'ihe river with the Vixen; not
liking to trust th* Pawnee in' so narrow a
channel, came to tho Seueca, :which had start

in the meantime, nearly 150 negroes, aU in a

the morning of the 10th I.ran down to South
.Edisio, and/ leaving: the Pawnee and Seneca
at the bar, weot.in with the ; Vixen. I found
the fortifications, which are. oh Edisto Island;
entirely; deserted and [partially destroyed.
They . ,eonsisted[“bf' : two redoubts,' - which
mbunted, so far as l- cbuld judge, four guns
;eaoh/h’ut the guns had been Removed. -The
Dale being in sight across Otter Island, in the

and that the fort in .Otter laland was ; rapidly
being placed is a state,of defence. Up fo the
present time, although wo had been insight of

they .had hot landed there. Having finished
my : examination ;of the South Edisto,
I Returned to the Pawnee, and stood north'
