GEN. SHERMAN's PRocLAMATIoN.--The Tribune
and its abolition colaborets do not like and
cannot Gnd an; thing to admire in the good and
sensible proclamation of Gen. Sherman to the
people Of South Carolina. The idea is afloat
that sOld Abe Lincoln dictated said procla-
nation, and it is not at all unlikely that he did
suggest it, 1t is certainly consistent with all
his official declarations Of the policy Of his ad-
miuistration in the prosecution Of this war.
His object and his ultimatum are "the integrity
of the Union," including, under the constitu-
ton the integrity Of the peculiar institutions of
the South. Ho is not making war upon South
ern institutions, but upon Southern rebels and
traitors; and in diffusing this great fact among
the people of the South, with the march of our
armies, we shall find allies where otherwise we
should. meet only with enemies. Gen. Sherman
is right and he has doubtless acted by the ex-
press authority of the government in his pro.
| clamation. His mission Is to save the South
| and not to destroy it,

that their pressing wants would be met as soon as
the ability of tn e government would permit The
late action of the banks will doubtless enable the
Secretary to fulfil his obligations in this respect
and indeed, we are warranted in stating that at
least 81 100000 will be disbursed this week from
the QuartermastersD Department of this city, and as
much more from the Navy Agents Department.

Seeessionism I'm the Episcopal Church.
EcoIesias ticaI State Sovereignty.

EccIesiasticaI State Sovereignty.
We copy into our columns, this morning. from
the Richmond Examiner Of the 14th inst, the
new secession programme Of the Episcopalians
of the rebel States, in opposition to their CO.
worshippers Of the North. 1t is signiicart
and highly important document as showing
into what extremes of folly bodies of individ-
uals, protesting the most select and fastidiously
recherche Christianity can be buried by wild
political Influences that may happen to surround
them off such things can be done i'm green
tree, what may be locked for in dry" The
Lcadon Post, and other English journals, in an
ticipation Of such step implored the Epsco-
palians of the South to refrain from it; bat the
news which comes to us to-day shows that they
have disregarded the wise counsels given them
by their friends abroad.
Had the Episcoralans of the South in com
mon with the Methodists, Presbyteria1s, Bap-
lists ard other sects, have contented themselves
with simple resolution of adherencs to the
Southern cause, it would have not appeared
strange. They might perhaps have been oven
naturally expected todivide from their North
ern brethren on the subject Of slavery. Such
steps would have excited no other surprise than
might havsgrown out of the inconsistency of
any further spiritual divisions in church pro-
Tossing to be visibly Catholic, than have already
taken place, within tho last quarter of a CEN
tury; but they have cut-heroded Herod, and'
not only severed all past religious ties, but inn
PRODUCED clauses into tho new "Constitutionsof
ibe Protestant Episcopal church Of the Unitedd
States of America" which especially provide
for wholesaledature disintegratien, and rendsr,
it, under certain circumstances, absolutely I'M
avoidable. First of all, the ratification Of
this constitution is required from each sepa-
rcte State council, independently Of the others,
This, of course, is o virtual admission of tbs
right of any dissenting council to- make "se.-
cession" movement and set agoing free Er's-
ccsal movement Of its own. Then, in violation
of all precedents the General Council of the
Confederate church no longer reserves to itself
thcrright Of sanotionng the creation Of new do
cesses, but each State may divide itself up into
as many separate organizations % il pleases.
even If there we're, previolsly,. no bishop in
said State. A part of the seventh article of the
constitution reads as follows
new diocess may be formed within the limits OF any
existing diocess, with tho bishsp bish
ops thereof or II there be bishop Of tho ecclesiastical
authority thereof.
Such measase practically nullidas the au-
thosity Of the General Council altogether, as it
would only be requisite for . densely populat-
ed State to div;ds itself up into ssere of do
cessss to swamp the central body altogether.
We are curious to- see what Episcopalians, who
do not happen %. be carried away by rebel en-
will have to say onAhis subject, and
whsther high church Episcopalans susn at the
soa&h will stsnd such departure from old
Ian imarks.

Our GREST NAVAL Recommendations WILL
THE NEXT BLOW FALL From the magnificent
effects of the Smelling administered to the rebel
forts at the outlet Of Port Royal harbor by our
great naval squadron, we are confident that it is
capable Of Smelling out all the strong places on
the Southern coast from Charleston to New
Orleans. The rebels of Savannah and all along
the Georgia seaboard appear to have been sud-
denly seized with this idea and were flying into
the interior as from a pursuing army already
landed on their shores. But where, from our
great feet, will the next blow fall? Perhaps
upon Charleston; perhaps at Brunswick, Georgia;
perhaps upon Pensacola, or upon Mobile or
New Orleans; and, accordingly, the rebels will
have their hands more than full in attending to
their defences at all these places. Thus from
fifty to % hundred thousand of the Confederate
troops in Virginia must soon be drawn away to
look after the seaboasd cities, harbors and in
lets of tho cotton States; and meantime Gene
raj Mcclellan is watching his opportunity. AS
things are going he ~ gaining ground and
strength by waiting, in proportion to the deple-
tioA of the main rebel army of the Potomac.
THE NEGRO QUESTION IN CABNEr-A RIDIeU-
boUs RUMoR-One of our Sunday contenpo-
ruries publishes Washington despatch to the
effect that the Cabinet have had before them
the question: what shall we do with the slaves
Of So,Sthern rebsis in the further prosecution
Of this war? and that the discussion of the sub.
jeet han developed.a division which may result
in a Cabinet dissolution Fudge. The policy
of the President IN the work of appressing
this rebellion has been clearly and repeatedly
defined. The great body of the loyal people
of the United States; North aRd South, are
satisfied with it, the Cabinet are INIT upon it,
and under this wise and conservative policy
this rebellion, which is already staggering, will
soon be laid low in the dust Let cur abolition
organs and ineendiaries stand back. "Honest
Abe Lincoln" and his policy have tho conf
dence and support of all genuine Unisn men.

SUBSTITUTE FOR OPIUM.

In looking over my book of various Recipes |
have found some which will prehaps be of some
use to US under the Illinois baboons blockade. If
you think them worthy place in your estimable
paper, The Southern Field and Fireside, please
insert them:
The Production Of Opium an the c. S.-The
extract of garden lettuce which produces the same
effect as opium discovered by MIR John Red
man Core, Professor of the Medical College at
Philadelphia and published by him in the Amerl-
can Philosophical Societys Transactions in 1896.
The extract of garden lettuce, which is the
milky JUICE of this plant, is valuable substitute
for opium, and always be procured and kept
for use by every family in the Confederate States,
with the least possible trouble
1t has the power of allayng pain, of producing
sleep, of diminishing the too frequent action of
the heart and of REFRESHING the nordinate heat of
the system, without producing those unpleasant
effects which sometimes felt by persons whose
constitutions cannot bear the stimulus produced
by the opium obtained from the poppy. 1t always
alIays or quiets coughing, and in this particular
respect it will always be found a most valuable
substitute for opium.
Garden lettuce Is common a vegetable and so
constantly used at our tables that it may excite
some surprise in my reader that it should produce
valuable and powerful drug opium. But
such is the fact.

of the Yankee Congress on the I'd inst.
The message opens with a recognition of exist

In reference to the action of the seeded States,
the President anticipates the possibility of an ap-

and though admitting the non-interference of
European powers hitherto it is deemed expedient

any contingency in the future.
Suggestion is also made for cooperation with
Kentucky and certain districts of Tennessee and
North Carolina against the seeded States and the
