ChapIa1n9

Rev. K. j. Stewart, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, who was some time since ruthessly treated
by the Yankees at Aexandria and finally driven out
from the place and congregation, has become the
Chaplain of the 9th N. c. regiment and was with the
regiment in the fight at Barhamsyle, and also the
Chickahominy. He proved himself a worthy Chap
lain by his kind attention to the sick and wounded
soldiers and to the spiritual condition of the regi
ment.
by the way, in no one thing has the government
been more reniss, perhaps, then in the neglect or
delay to furnish suitable Chaplains to each regiment
and to our men occupying FORTS hospitals &c. gen.
tlemen remarked to us the other day. who has taken
great interest in visiting the army at different points
that the bad effects of this course is working ruin
in the army. Profanity, lntemperance and neglect
of spiritual concerns are manifest every where The
country is called on to pray for the army and for
our successful contribute money to send them
tracts, &C., and yet no Chaplain is sent among them
in many cases, who by his personal influence and
teaching might greatly mitigate the evils OF camp
life and soothe and comfort many poor soldier on
the brink of death.
This matter is left too much to the immediate con.
troll of the regimental commanders, who, in many
cases, we are sorry to say, too Indifferent to the
spiritual necessities of their men, Moreover, the
choice is often made by the Colonel, who consults
his own religious predictions in the selection with
out regard to the nrlinatons preferences of the
men, Some of the regiments composed of two
thirds or three fourths whose religious views and
preferences are different from those of the Chaplain
who at the same time may be so strait.laced in his
views and habits as to disqualify him from being
useful to the regiment. This ought not to be. Let
each regiment have Chaplain, and let him be the
right man.

Right or Wrong.

The Raleigh Register, which is evidently aspiring
to the bad emnence of a leadership in the spoils
party, said short time ago, that
"CoL Johnston is in favor.of fully sustaining the
present administration of the Confederate Govern
ment while the war lasts"
Now what is meant by that declaration? Does
it mean that Col Johnston will fully sustain Presi
dent Davis administration right WrOng, but only
so long as the war lasts' That appears to be the
plain inference If therefore, Mr.. Davis should con-
ceive that military necessity" obliged him to as
sume the powers of military Dictator-we have
no idea, however, that he contemplates such a
thing-Col. Johnston, if the Register speaks for
him. would fully sustain him, long the
lasts Or if the administration were to commit any
act however subversive of the rights Of the people
or of the States, Col. Johnston would fully sustain
it. Can any freeman sanction so monstrous a pro-
position? Does the existence of war, and especial
" such wicked war as is now waged against US,
make a wrong thing right' Certainly not
The Standard has been and will continue to be
far better friend to Mr.. Davis administration than
that. We consider Mr. Davis the legitimate Presi-
dent of the Confederacy for six years from last Feb
ruary. His oath of office obliges him to admins
ter the government according to the Constitution.
So long he does this, shall sustain him through
war or peace until the end Of his term. None shall
excel US in awarding to him the just need of praise
due for his services and the faithful administration
of his Office But if the administration depart from
the landmarksOf the Constitution we shall chde it
and strive to bring it back, and such will oe the
proof of our friendship These we believe to be
the views of all conservatives whose opinions we
zen Of the Southern Consderacy, hostile and an
enemy to Prsident Darts administration zoe do not
knoo the person. There many who believe that
the war has not been conducted as efficiently, as
vigorously, and as wisely as it should have been.
There are acts of Congress and suggestions of the
President which they heartily disapprove; and SIM
ply with the view of correcting these "blunders"
as the Register calls them, in future they have
pressed their disapprova and opposition but so far
from this being evidence of the existence of HOSTILE
ty to Mr.. Davis it is the very best proof they can
give of their extreme anxiety and desire for the
cess of his administration.
But according to the Register, Col Johnston will
fully sustain the Administration so long as the soar
lasts If Col. Johnston should happen to be elect
ed Governor and the war close speedily as all de-
sire-eAcept the spectators and officeholders-it
might prove a serious impeachment if Mr.. Davis ad-
minstration were not sustained fully by Col John
ston. With majority in the Legislature to sustain
him, were he so disposed he might embarrass the
common government in various ways.

An Upiust Attack on a Worthy Man.

The last Raleigh Reglter goes out of its way to
asSail the Rev. William f. Pell, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, whom it styles the Financial,
Political and Ecclesiastical Assistant Editor of the
Standard" 1t also refers in hppant, not to say
blasphemOuS manner to the "reUioal in the Chicka-
hominy Circult"-meaning the recent circuitous
attack on the enemy by Gen. Stuart-as "a time of
great refreshing" and commends the "crcuitri-
ding" of Gen. Stuart to Mr.. Pell, as presiding
Elder" &c. We shall not dwell on this covert re.
Election on Church which is second to none
in piety, usefulness and influence, but shall leave
the reflection and its author to the sober judy
ment of the public. Party spirit is indeed bit
ter and insppeasible when it vents itselfin this way
and when not even the Churches of the living God
can escape its venom.
Mr. Pells connection with the Standard Office is
not one of choice, but caused by the suspension
of the NJ G. Christian Adoocate, which he was
editing when the war broke out. Having large
family to support, and no resources to rely upon he
was compelled to seek some secular employment
the war having rendered the support of Ministers
in his Church with large families, exceedingly
doubtful Failing in every other effort to obtain
suitable situation he rendered his services to aid in
the management Of our office, having in early life
learned the printing business, and being thus we'll
fitted for the place for which he applied. He has
been with us for more than a year, and we have
found his services almost invaluable; but he has no
control over the columns of the Standard and TO
responsibility whatever for the political matter
which appears in it His name does not appear in the
paper and so far the Register and the public are
concerned, :hey have no right know that Mr. Pell
is connected with our Office except when they see
him in it engaged in his daily duties as manager of
the establishment. We would have as much right
to assail the manager of Mr.. Syme's Office, or the
hands in it, and hold them responsible for the po
litca views of the Regstsr, he has to assail Mr..
Pell, and there would be as much propriety in it
Mr.. Pell has his own views Of public affairs; but
he has never on any occasion, obtruded those views
on his hearers from the pulpit 1t cannot be said
of him that he ever preached political sermon
We are at loss to account for this unprovoked
attack on Mr. Pell, and we can attribute it only to
the unfathomable, inappeasible untraceable malice
of our neighbor His bearing towards Mr.. Syme has
always been kind and respectful and he has earnest
ly requested us not to take any notice of this
and otheg attacks upon him, being willing to
bear them in silence and as patiently as he can;
but we feel that it to him, to the Church Of
which he is worthy Minister and to ourself to enter
our protest, as we have done, against the unjust,
and, we fear malignant assault which has been made
upon him and his Church by the Register

The Richmond Enquirer of a recent date contains
an Editorial article which, if it had appeared in the
Standard, would have subjected it to the charge of
giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The article
takes the ground that the principal obstacles to the
recognition of the independence of the Confederate
States, first an indispositon to encourage revo-
luton by hasty acknowledgement Of its success for
fear that the precedent may be used hereafter against
themselves and secondly, ignorance of the true re-
latons of the States to each other, and of the OBJ
jects and progress of the war. The Enquirer then
goes on to argue that this indisposion to encour-
age revolutions must be changed, and the people of
Europe enlightened in relation to our condition, and
especially in relation to slavery before we can hope
for recognition And it regards recognition as an
indispensable step in our march to independence.-
The Enquirer thus puts our success % almost i'm
possible grounds We repeat, if zoe bad aole this
thing our paper would have been sent 70 NsNs
bern Progress and the New York Herald and the
,cry would have been raised that we were aiding
Lincoln by writing and publishing such an article.

The Battle Autumn Of S82.
BY JOHN @ WHITTIER.

BY JOHN WHITTIER.
The flags Of war like storm birds fiy,
The charging trumpets blow;
Yet rolls no thunder In the sky,
No earthquake strives below.
And, calm and patient, Nature Keeps
Her ancient promise well,
Though DER her bloom and greenness sweeps
The battles breath Of hell.
And still she walks in golden hours
Through harvest-happy farms
Ana still she wears her fruits and flowers
Like jewels on her arms.
What means the gladness Of the plain.
This JOY of eve and morn,
lhe mirth that shakes the beard Of grain,
Aud yellow locks OF corn
All! eyes may well be full of tears.
And hearts with hate are hot;
But even-paced come round the years
Ana Nature changes not.
She meets with smiles our bitter grief
" ith songs our groans of pain;
she mocks with tint OF flower and leaf
The war-felds crimson stain.
Still, in the cannon's pause. we hear
Her sweet Thanksgiving psalm;
Too Eear to God for doubt or fear
She shares the eternal calm.
She knows the seed lies safe below
The fires that blast and burn;
For all the tears of blood we SOW
She waits the rich ret urn.
She sees with clearer eye than ours
The good OF suffering born
The hearts that blossom like her flowers
And rpen like Aer corn
Oh give n n in noe III, tboS.
The vision OF her eyes:
And make her fields ami fruited trees
Our golden prophecies
oh, give 10 Us her finer ear!
Above hi, stormy sin.
We, too, would hear the bells Of cheer
Ring peace and freedom in!
