announcement that Capt, Joseph Henriques Of
the 4th NY Regiment, was dismissed from the

through Gen. Wool showing that his resigna-
ton was accepted, and he honorably discharged
in consequence of physical disability The
commissioned officers and prvates of his
company have transmitted to him testimonial
certified by the Lieutenant, expressing their

Advices from Arkansas.

ST Louis, Oct. q.
Dispatches received at headquarters from
Helena, Arkansas, 10 the 18th inst, report all
quiet and the Notifications nearly completed
The rebel Gen. Holmes had sent to Gen.
Carr, under flag of truce, a communication
falsely assuming that the United States gov
ernmeut, Or its General, had engaged in arm
ing negroes in Arkansas, to which course Gen
Holmes entered an emphatic protest
Gen. Carr promptly replied telling him that
neither the government, nor its agents, had
armed negroes. On the contrary the federal
troops had been employed in disarming the
negroes, and while 50 employed were attacke.
and portion of them captured by guerrillas
Gen. Carr adds: Whatever may be the pol
icy of my commanding officer, and the gov
eminent, | shall cheerfully follow it.
In skirmish on the 18th inst, twelve miles
west of Helena, the national forces captured
the Lieut.. Col. of the 2lst Texas Regiment

Washington, Oct. Il.
Early in 1861, when civil war seemed pen
ding but had not actually broken out, Gen.
Scott wrote two papers containing his views
professionally and politically on the crisis and
the rights and duties which devolved on the
government in the momentous conjecture One
of them has recently been published without
the writer's consent. The second appears to-
day, having been furnished to the Press by
himself 1t establishes in the first place the
patriotic anxiety of the General-in-C Chief to
prepare for the coming storm, and his earnest
and repeated efforts to prevail on the Govern
ment to garrison and secure the southern forts
against every possible attack, and disclosed,
in the second place, the causes of his failure
which it is now evident resulted from the in
decisions of President Buchanan, who was
doubtless misled by the treachery tn the Sec
rotary of War if not in other members of the
Cabinet in whom the head of the government
reposed a misplaced confidence.

The EpIsooPALIANs AND THE REBELLION,
The patriotic resolutions, written by Rob
srt c, Winthrop and reported by him TO the
Episcopal general convention, were adopted on
Thursday, by clerical vote of Ii TO Z, and a
lay vote of IL to 4. There was a spirited de-
bate, lasting through several days, before the
resolutions were finally acted upon, some Of
the members opposing them because of their
dislike to any action of political character IN
the church, and Others evidently because they
did not wish to condemn their brethren in re-
bellion. II was manifest enough that DR.
Hawks thought quite as well Of the traitors as
Of loyal men.
The first resolution merely recognizes the
Episcopal doctrine that ii is the duty of Chris
tans TO obey the civil authorities and to pray
for rulers. The second and third resolutions
are as follows
Resolved, That we cannot be wholly blind
70 the course which has been pursued, in their
ecclesiastical as we'll as their civil relations,
since this convention last met in perfect har-
mony and love, by great numbers of the min
listers and members Of this church within GER
tain States Of our Union which have arrayed
themselves in open and armed resistance to the
regularly constituted government of our coun-
try and that while in spirit Of Christian
forbearance, we refrain from employing towards
them any terms Of condemnation or reproach,
and would rather bow in humiliation before our
common Father in heaven for the sus which
have brought His judgement on our land, we
yet feel bound to declare our solemn sense OF
the deep and grievous wrong which they will
have inflicted on the great Christian commup-
ION which this convention represents, as well az
on the country within which it has been so
happily and tremendously established, should
ihey persevsre in striving to read asunder those
evil and religious bonds weich have so long
held us together in peace, unity and concord.
An additional resolution merely suggests to
the bishops that additional prayers for the gov
eminent and il. defenders may possibly be ad-
visable.--The Con ,vention held its closing meet
