extract the following: .ta

that we will have another engagement in q

again attack us, or give us chance to
make charge on them it is impossible
for them to stand charge, and whenever
such command is given they take to their
heels. Not one of our men that have

Methodist Church, South, for our existence
as a Church is inseparably connected with
the Southern Confederacy. They super
animated several of our most esteemed
brethren without any authority whatever ;
removed from the Louisville District N. Fl.
Lee, one of our most prominent brethren,
and placed him on the Supernumerary list,
gave him a relation he never thought of,
and as the Queen said of Solomon, "the
half has not been told"
We took the liberty of changing some
Of their appointments, and exercised the
right of electing one delegate to the Gene
raj Conference.-The number to which we
were entitled majority of the whole
delegation, and l will say in this connec-
ton, that my brethren, after read Bla-
keys charges, and made my defense, fully
endorsed me by electing me delegate to
the General Conference, and the whole Con-
ference would have done the SAME, if all
had been together, as they have done be-
fore.
Thus, Mr.. Editor, / have given brief
outline of the two Conferences. I do not
think scisn, to any extent, at all likely.

CAMP GREENBRIER BRIDGE,
MAR HUSTERsvILLE, VA,
Get. 26. 1861.

DEAR CHRONICLE The dullness of our
camp has been dispSlled by the arrival of
Gen. Anderson's Brigade, and depressed
spirits are considerably revived, to meet
friends direct from the Kanawha, and to
hear them recount their ''deeds of valor"
and Nepoleonic marches, Our camp is
rife with rumors, and our spirits have been
first raised to rejoicing, by the report that
we will shortly leave for Kentucky, and
then as completely chilled as the Northern
digits of frozen frog, by the rumor of
ten days rations and another visit to Cheat
Mountain. But I give the latter no credit
whatever, and indeed think II would be
suicidal policy to make another advance
upon "Cheat" at this late day in the cain
paign, and with troops who have once been
lea ingloriously from 1T, and who do not
feel inclined to undergo again the hard
ships of an advance which augers no bet-
ter success or glory. But the former ru-
NOR, to my mind, embodies more good
sense, and know is more charming tethe
burning ardor of a Tennessee Volunteer.
Yes, we wish to return to Kentucky, and
contest the "dark and bloody ground

The Gallipolis (O.,) Dispatch, paper
published on the border of Western Yir-

which has been made in several quarters to
withdraw the Yankee army from there into
Kentucky. 1t says:
"If the forces in Western Virginia are
drawn off at this time and directed else
where, it will be the worst step that can be
taken by the Government, unless it is the
intention to give up Virginia. We regard
Western Virginia as being in more dan
gerous condition than for some months
past. Armed bands of Secessonists are
sprihgihg up in all directions, end are only
waiting for the Federal troops to slackeh
their vigilance, when their works of haYoC
will again commence. They are becoming
more desperate and daring in their move
mehts than ever. In fact, instead Of with
drawing troops, there is greater need o.

seen crawling and creeping along the
whole place. Not nook or corner can es-
cape the vermin.
It is indeed lamentable that our Gov
ernment would so far forget the obligation
it owes the brave men who few voluntari-
ly to arms when its rights were invaded,
its dignity and peace threatened by con-
spiracy which the civilized world now looks
upon as almost triumphant. In connee-
ton with this, | must state that the sur
geons are not at all to blame in this mat
ter, as they have no facilities whatever by
which they can alleviate the condition of
the sick and wounded. DIR. Menzles is,
indeed, indefatigable in his labors to help
and ameliorate the condition of the army,
so is DR.. Musoroft, of the 10th. Nothing
is left undone by these men. DR., Shum-
ard, Brigade Surgeon of the First Brigade,
has been unceasing in his efforts to do ev-
rything in bis power toward helping and
even rendering assistance to the sick and
wounded.
The only Brigade in the whole division
whose wants are properly attended to is
the 1st, Gen. Benham's Himself and
staff, Capts. Strange, Atkinson and Haw-
kins, are untiring in their efforts Major

night, Gen. Benham received order to halt.
Consequently, the men of the 10th had to
remain all that night with nothing but the
canopy of heaven to screen them, and had
to march twenty-five miles without food,
as all their rations were sent along before
them ON the wagons. With such treat

A GrOwl from The British Lion,
LORD I4oYs To, Mr.. SEWARD.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ]


WASHINGTON, Oct. IA.
SIR: Her Majesty's Government
were mUcb concerned to find that two
British subjects, Mr.. Patrick and Mr..
Raining, had been subjected to ar.
bitrary arresy aul although they had
learnt from a t0legraphic dispatch
from me that Mr.. Patrick had been
released, they coald not but regard
the matter as one requiring their very
8 rious consideration. .... ..... ~
Her Majesty's Government perceive
that when British subjects as well as
American citizens, are arrested, they
are Immediately transferred to a mill.
tary prison, and that the military aut
thorities refuse to pay obediencdto a
writ OF au6ou0 UVLPaS. ....
Her Majesty's Government conceive
that this practice is directly opposed
to the maxim Of the Constitution OF
the United States, "that no person
shall be deprived of liIe, liberty or
property, without due process Of law" "
Iler Maiesty's Government are
willing, however, tc make every al
Ilowance for the hard necessities Of a
time of internal trouble; and they
would not have been surprised if the
ordinary securities of personal liberty
had been temporarily suspended, nor
would they have complained if Brit.
ish subjects falling under suspicion
| had suffered from the consequences
Of that suspension. w..a'
But it does not appear that Congress
has sanctioned in this respect any de-
parture from the due course Of Jaw;
and it is in these circumstances that
| the law officers of the Grown have
advised her Majesty's Government
that the arbitrary arrests of British
subjects are illegal. ! =. Z
So far as appears to her Majesty's
Government, the Secretary nof State
of the United States exercises, upon
the reports of spies and infonners,
the power of depriying British sub.
| iects of their liberty, o. retaining
them in prison, or liDerating them, by
Ibis own williand pleasure. st
Her Majesty's Government cannot
but regard this despotic and arbitrary
lpowcr as inconsist with .he Constitn-

ton Of the United States, and at va.
rance with the treaties OF amity sub.
sisting between the two nations, and
as tending to prevent the resort Of
British subjects to the United States
for purposes of trade and industry.
Her Maiesty's Government have
therefore felt bound to instruct me to
demonstrate against such irregular
proceedings, and to say that, in their
opinion, the authority Of Congress is
necessary in order to justify The arbi,
trary arrest and imprisonment of
British subjects.
