Case Of the Three ClergyInen.

The telegraph advises us that the three
Episcopal clergymen who were forwarded
from New Orleans by General Butler, with
a view to their incarceration in Fort La
fayette, have actually been committed to
that grim place Of safe-keeping Not much
has been said in public as to the measures
dealt out to these ministers. By the New
York Express we are informed that they
were arrested t'because at New Orleans
they had declined to read the Episcopal
service in full-so far as to pray for Presi-
dent Lincoln. They ceased to pray for
Jefferson Davis, when the United States
Government was restored in New Orleans
but, as under the authority of the Do
cesar Convention of Louisiana, they had
struck out from their Liturgy, the prayer
for the President of the United States,
they declined as Churchmen to reinstate
him in the Prayer Book, but upon like Di-
ocesan authority One of these clergymen
was "shut up on Sunday, and his people
dispersed by military authority. Another,
in order to propitiate Gen. Butler, resign
ed his post as Rector. With the whole three
the question became ono principally of
church authority-and as the church au-
thorities ordered prayer, as Churchmen,
they were willing to pray. General Butler,
not satisfied with this explanation, exiled
all three of the Rectors.'
The Express, whose editors, we believe,
are Churchmen, is dissatisfied with Gen.
Buffers action. 1t says:
Though fully aware of the difficulties of Gen.
Butler in New Orleans, we cannot help thinking
he is OVERRIDING his work. and in a way, more
and more, to ALLEVIATE, but never to reconcile the
people to his government.
The fact that the clergy of other denomi-
nations have escaped, is explained by that
paper in this wise:
The Catholic Church he has been kinder or
binder to. Happily, however, the prayers of
the Catholic Church are in latin, and upon a
mere bubble, so far, the Catholic Church es-
capes. The Catholic Priests under jeff Davis,
prayed for the Conteaermis Cimt@ibus, while
now they strike off the Con, and pray for the
Federatis CfritGtibus, which may mean Presi-
dent Lincoln or JEFF. Davis or both. Soldiers.
as general thing, are wise to let the Priests
have their own way in their own prayers.
The Presbyterians the Baptists, and Others,
in New Orleans, having no Liturgy, escape
military supervision, in their eXtemporaneous
prayers-as they can leave out, or put in, the
President just as they please, and according to
the inspiration of the moment Hence Gcner-
al Buffers supervision of prayers in New Or
leans does not reach these classes.

'Ehe Removal of Secretary Seward
Demanded.

The New York Erening Post rejoices
that the President has removed the in
active and inefficient Mcclellan from the
command of the Army of the Potomac, )"
and demands that ''thc work of reform"
should proceed. We quote as follows:
He should not be restrained by personal or
other considerations from looking into his own
Cabinet even to see whether there is as much
unity and decision of purpose there as the ma
tiOnal cAigcncy requires Should it turn out
that the inexplicable delays for which General
Mcclellan has become responsible have been
suggested or approved by parts of the Admins
tration, then we submit that the axe which has
fallen upon his head has still further work to
do. A vigor beyond all previous example, in
every department of the government, will alone
satisfy the public expectations now. No man
is to be tolerated in office who is in favor, after
the experience of the past year. of do-nothing
and conciliatory policy.
This paragraph is leveled at Secretary
Seward, who, it is understood, disapproved
of the removal of Mcclellan. The aboli-
ton fiat has gone forth that every con-
sentative member of the cabinet shall re-
tire, and that none but abolitionists shall
be put on guard

Affairs i'm North Carolina.

\ gentleman recently from Wilmington,
North Carolina, informs the New York
Commercial Adre1fise,' that the present
condition of things throughout the State is
deplOrable in the extreme. Many families
which before the rebellion was inaugurated
never knew the "woes of want" or the
" walk that cost meal, are now suffering
the pangs of absolute want. Not only are
luxuries scarce, but even many of the COM
mon necessaries of life are not abundant.
Butter sells at from so cents to 81 per
pound; bacon from Is to Is cents; flour
$50 per barrel boots $25 to $50 per pair;
coarse brogans $40; cashmere pants $25;
calico 81 so to 50 per yard; common felt
hats Sc each; tea from Sc to SIS per pound;
shifting from 81 to 81 30 per yard fan
mel 50 80 and So yard; cotton cards,
formerly realizing 50 cents pair, now sell
for $12. He states that majority of the
people in Wilmington are sick of the war,
and would cheerfully hail the cessation Of
hostilities and the restoration of the Union,
although Governor STANLY is harshly de-
nounced by the rank secessionists.

The Indian MassacreS i'm Brown
County.

The Mankato independent of last Satur-
day contains whole page of Probate
notices from Brown county, which are
sadly significant of the terrible slaughter of
its citizens by the Indians, and the desola-
ton which broods over one of the fairest
portions of our State. We can hardly
wonder that the people of that section are
very much incensed against the murderers
of their friends and neighbors, and their
determination that adequate punishment
shall be inflicted OH the guilty. The
independent says;
The final disposition to be made of the con-
demned Indians, is understood to depend upon
the policy of the General Government, which,
Judging from repeated Washington kilograms
is averse to wholesale execution. That they
will be finally executed, however-either by
order of the President, or by tie arW of the
People, who make Prcsdents-wc do not har-
Dor doubt. Their guilt has been fully estab-
lished upon careful and conscientious investi-
CATION by a competent court, and pay the
penalty of their atrOciOus crimes they must and
shall. The People have sworn it. They have
the power, and will never sanction or permit
the exercise of mistaken clemency by the Gov
crnment, Wnlcn VIII allow these raScalS, whose
hands are Redeemed with the blood of hundreds
of our defenceless population, to escape the ex-
IRENE peanlty adjudged against them.
We have hopes that the Government
will yet consent that capital punishment
shall be melted out to all the condemned by
the proper authorities but, should an
other course be adopted, we feel very con-
fident that the people will take the matter
into their own hands, and do substantial
Justice.

East Tennessee Expeditions.

The command of Gen. GEORGE W. Nor
GAN, which recently performed so success
full retreat from Cumberland Gap, is now
on its way back again to East Tennessee.
The command passed down the Ohio from
Cincinnati to Louisville, on Sunday, and,
it is reported, will march by the most
practicable route to Knoxville. Parson
BRowNLow goes with it, but whether as
pioneer, guide, or newspaper correspond
ent, is not known with certainty. The
possession of Knoxville is important, in
view of the fact that it cuts off the railway
communication between Richmond and
East Tennessee but the position is an I'M
tenable one so long as the rebels are in
possession Of Chattanooga. 1t is possible,
however, that the movement constitutes
only part of General RosECRANs' plan for
taking speedy possession of the latter
point.

The New York Times notices the fact
that Major General PORE recently sent by
telegraph, from this city to Washington,
the names of three hundred and twenty
four Sioux Indians, whom the military
commission had condemned to death, at a
cost to the Government of the snug little
sum of $500; whereupon the Times very
properly remarks that " this amount ought
to be deducted from General Pores sala-
ry." This might be done, and still leave
"the greatest liar living" as President
LINCOLN calls PORE, two or three times
Overpaid for all the services he is capable
rendering the country.

1.-THE frivolous attacks of the Pioneer upon
General Pope needed any other answer than
their transparent malignity and puerile incon-
sequence, it might be found in the fact that
shortly after the arrival of General Pope in this
city, Captain Earle S. Goodrich, the editor of
that paper, was an unsuccessful applicant for
position upon the Generals statf.-Press, 1871.
The reputation of Gen. POPE among the
officers of the regular army, was that of
common liar. We are authorized by Cap
tain GOODRICH to say, that, if the assertion,
copied above from the Press, was made
on Gen. PoPE's authority, he preserves
his old army reputation unimpaired; and
that the statement is, without qualification,
a direct falsehood.

where Mcclellan Leaves OF and
Burnside Begins.

General McClellan's command has been
taken from him in the very midst of a
constant succession of brilliant advances
and skirmishes, without one defeat or re-
treat since the battles and victories at
South Mountain and Antietam, and his
crossing the Potomac. The armies of
Lee, Hill, jackson, Stuart, Longstreet,
have everywhere retreated before him.
These being the facts, it is but just to put
on record now-if only for future reference
the advanced positions of the Army of
the Potomac on the day its commander,
Gen. Mcclellan, was superseded. The
New York Express makes the following
memoranda of the status Gen McClel-
Ian leaves off where Burnsid begins
First With his advance, under Gen. Bay
ard, at Flint Hill, (Rappahannock county,)
some sixty five miles from Washington.
Second. With Gen. Pleasanton, on the Rap
pahannock, and in command of the important
railroad bridge therc-say fifty miles from
Washington.
Third. With Shicker's Ashbys, Thorough
fare and Manassas Gaps, in our possession,
thus compelling the rebels to evacuate the
Valley of the Shenandoah, or submit to the
perils of a flank movement, or fight, at great
disadvantage.
Fourth. With Washington fortified and
otherwise strongly protected, as to remove all
apprehension to its safety.
Fifth. With the Potomac navigation unob-
structed by rebel batteries; and
Sixth. With the undivided attachment and
confidence of all the troops composing the Ar
my of the Potomac.

From the Daily Pioneer. goth.
Welearn that this regiment will be paid to-
day; and that leave ofabsenceis granted to
the men for fifteen days from yesterday, at
the expiration of which they are to report
at WinOna. Their destination then will be
South. After more than years service,
and being SO near their relatives, it is but
justice that they should have a furlough.
Wherever the enlisted men of the Third
go they will receive the cordial greetings
Of the people of this State.
During the Indian campaign they have
been employed in two expeditions on the
frontier they have marched a thousand
miles since their arrival at Fort Smelling,
and fought severe battle with the In
dams, in which they gained decisive vic
tory.
In their expedition into Dakota, under
Lieut.. Colonel Marshall, one detachment
OF torty-five men, commanded by Lieut.
Swan, marched 70 miles in SO hours. with
out eating and captured $50 Indians, in
Guiding SO warriors
In their late expedition, in which $50 of
the men were mounted, and under COM
mand of Lieut.. Swan, they secured nearly
the whole southwestern frontier, marching
upwards of sixty miles beyond Lake She
TEX, and beyond the Dakotaline. Though
sometimes detained in making bridges over
sloughs, they marched full five hundred
miles in the space Of two weeks, including
rests and halts. This perhaps surpasses
the splendid march of eighty miles over
the Cumberland Mountains, in the hottest
days of the summer, which they performed
in three days and a half. They will re-
turn to the South, leaving the sacred re-
mains OF some of their brave companions,
who fell in the Indian battle of Wood
Lake; and many will carry in their
wounds, honorable marks of their valor.
We congratulate them all on the distinc-
ton they have won by their patient en-
durance and heroism in this memorable
campaign. They have suffered the capri
cious freaks which fortune often blends
with her brightest honors. But our people
all know-the whole country knows-they
never faltered at danger, but rather have
courted it. Their courage has been well
tried, and their soldierly accomplishments
are universally acknowledged. Under the
lead of officers equally brave and faithful,
the regiment will anywhere be invincible;
but the presence and authority of officers
who have shown lack of courage, will
not, of course, be tolerated moment.

County Auditors.

We learn from the State Superintendent
of Public INSTRUCTION., that less than half
the County Auditors of the State have
complied with Sec % of the School Law
Of 1862, requiring said Auditors to report
to the State Superintendent certain statis-
tics relative to District Schools in their re-
spective counties. The Auditors will do
well to look sharp after this duty, as
failure to discharge it involves fine of
fifty dollars.

Government is very consistent in its
wants and demands never taking more
than half man has at one time. But
when tOraging party calls upon man
every day, and takes half he has at each
time, as a natural consequence, after a
while the halves get pretty small Many
instances of gross outrage have been COM
mtted by soldiers under the head of for
aging, such, for instance, as going into the
yard OF poor woman and killing the
last COW she had, before her own door,
and adding to the outrage by leaving the
oill where the COW was slaughtered.
Another instance occurred in which q Door
Irish woman was ordered by some soldiers
to give up her only pig to them. \ fine

dollars, was killed by band Of these rob-
bers and sold for mutton These unpro-
yolled acts ofvandalism are ferreted out by

Has been Il very marked, but unplea-
SAINT feature Of our sooum in Nashville.
Suffering in no instance has taken place,
but many days our larder has been scanty
in the extreme, and consisting principally
of Bread and peas with no meat We have
had no sugar at all for the past six weeks,
and as Il substitute for coffee, we have used
parched peas or barley. There has been
one consolation. however, to us in our pow
erty, and that is, the citizens have to share
with us in our deprivations, for they too
complain even louder than the soldiers of
their scanty board. Provisions of all kinds
are scarce, and necessarily very high prices
are asked for them. Many of the common
articles of daily consumption are not to be
had at any price. A short price list of the
most common articles may be of interest.
