REV. NH. PATTERSON AND TEE
WURCl1 CASE.
We find the following in the New York

ForlE, Of the 18th:
1T wonld be p}casautcr to pass over in 81.
lcnce the extraordinary indscrcton-fo use no
stronger langnagc-ot the Rev. Nr. Patterson.
10 inns Clergyman, who VAS her pastor, Mrs.
burch wrote letter of the most confidential
character, in which she bitterly accuscd her
sell. and sought spiiilun1 consolation. This
letter-thc sacred confession Of Il broken spirit
Was handed to the husband. It Is indeed
pity that Mg. Burch was, as is said, the ''rich-
CT man In the church," otherwise this u1-
trustworthy pastor, though he would still have
been mean, sul%lt hot ,1ASc been thought mer-
cenary. We doubt whether there il another
clergyman in the land, Of auy standing wha.-
erer. Who would have voluntarily done such
an net
live have refrained from saying any
thing in defence Of Rev. Mr. Patterson, ii
connection with this mournful Burch case,
or silence has not Iccn due 10 any sr.-
p:clon that he has not, in lis ministerial
and social relation TO The parties, shown
himself to be Christian and gentleman,
but to desire to let the excitement Of the
public 80 cool down that al men would lie
able to judge his conduct by the light Of
Christian ethics and common sense. We
prepared, yesterday, an article setting for:1
Mr. Fattcrson's connection with the case,
rs we understood it; but fearing that wc
might mis-statc minor fact in such a way
that his sssailants would seize upon it and
make it the occasion Of new lnisrcprcsenla-
tions, we applied 10 Mr. Patterson himself
or statcncnt which VIC print herewith!
It is complete and triumphant rcfutation
of I'll :hat his ma'ignc2s hare alleged; ard
as such, will bc highly satisfactory to lis
friends Hctcllsthe wholcstory out ofw!4icll
columns Of c:lrmny and abuse ]layc been
manufactured. If any casuizt can find ii
it reason 10 believe that he made haste
to bctray the secrets Of the confes-
sionaf-to immolatc IN INNOCENT woman t.,
crafty rich member Of lis church, and
moro twad:ile Of that sort, VIC arc not
bound to quarrel will. his folly; hut VIC do |
protest that it is a shameless Use Of the ILL.,
cEty OF the press, 10 turn the battery of tho
newspapers uroa man whose conduct in
this matter is as pure and prnisc-wo1thy as
Mr: Pattcrson's appears TO have bccn.

established himself in the White House

conducting the Government in the name Of

All the secrets Of the Government arc diyu1ged
to the secession leaders, He is a tpy and pImp
upon the Northern men in the Departments,
and employs his time and position in giving
mid and comfort to the enemies Of the unicn.
The President is State prisoner in his own
house, and goes chattcring and blubbcE:ng
through its glittering apartments. L North
