house, had gathered In front Of the church, and
been directed not to open the church until further
ordered by DIR. Pinkney, the rector. Nothing
could be obtained from the sentsies Is TO what
was their business there. The congregation, after
talking the matter over among themselves and
surmisng as to the csuses, soon left the vicinity
and proceeded either homewards or 10 other
churches. The sentries remained al the church
door until after IL O'Clock, and then left the
place.
We learn that on Saturday afternoon DR.. Pink
ney received note signed by Charles E. Robin
son, Adjutant TO the Provost Marshal, advising
him "to close the church tomorrow" on account
OF anticipated disturbances growing out OF the
rector's omission to use the prayer Of thanks
giving for recent victories, directed by the Re-.
Rev. Bishop Whittingham. Dr. r.Pinkney answered
the note, stating that he was confident that no
disturbance would take place; yet, as directed he
would order the church not to be opened unless
he was otherwise directed by the Provost
Marshal.
At noon to-day the Church of the Ascension
was open for the customary services, and an
nouncenent was made for the usual services on
Friday next.
