of the enemy. G. A. Woodbury., of this
place, went to Montpelier, and sent des-
patch to Col. Stannard, inquiring after
his brother, and received an answer in &C
cordance with the above, and also stating

FoRT SMITH, ARK, July 26, 1861.


 To the Bishops in the P. E. Church in the Confederate States of America- Rt Req. Brethren: In pastoral letter lately is- sued to the Clergy and Laity of Arkansas, 1 took occasion to intimate doubt existing in my mind as to the nature of my Episcopal jurisdiction. hoped at that time to have opportunity to confer with you and to obtain your sanction for the course determined upon. Farther consideration has per suaded me that it is best to wait no longer, much as would value your counsel and advice.
 Under the Constitution and Canons by which we have been governed the Church claimed jursdic- tion over all persons belonging to it within the United Stetes'' Within the organized dioceses, jurisdiction when given by the diocese and con- firmed by the General Convention, was absolute and permanent except for cause. Not thus IS 1t however outside these limits.
 Into States and Territories not organized into doceses, the Churche sent Missionary Bishops " to exercise Episcopal functions" She imposed upon them peculiar restrictions for they are bound to discharge their functions " under such regula tions and instructions the House of Bishops may prescribe, and the House of Bishops may at any time increase or diminish the number of States CT Territories over which the said Bishops shall exer else Episcopal functons.'
 The Diocesan Bishops possess a character and are invested with jurisdiction which remains unal- tered by any encouragement of provincial bounda' res. The Missionary Bishop is emphatically a missionary or delegate sent forth by the general body, subordinate to the Episcopal College and in effect dependent for jurisdiction upon its will.
 Of the Missionary District of the south west, part is now territory of the Confederate States part of the United States, while the political position of other portions cannot be as yet determined
 I have therefore forwarded to the Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States my resignation of the jurisdiction received from said church.
 There Is no power competent to confer eccles- astical jurisdiction in the State of Arkansas. This anomaly will be relieved whenever General Con vention in the Confederate States shall be estab- lshed
 In the interim, l shall continue to perform such Episcopal offices as may be desired, and to watch over the welfare of the Church, her ministers and her people. On this point 1 trust may not be misunderstood It is no part of my design to in- termit any of my official labors in behalf of the Church in this western region. Although my re- lations with the Clergy will be those of courtesy instead of canoncal obligation, 1 am sure no practical inconvenience will be experienced.
 trust that you will approve of the determina- tion thus announced, although in arriving at it had not the benefit of 70 UT advice.
 It is proper to add that have not received, nor do feel at liberty to receive, any salary from the Board of Missions since the 1st of April last a period anterior to the secession of Arkansas.
 1 remain with sincere regard,
 your friend and brother,
 HENRY C. LAY.
