GEN. BANKS CHURCH ORDER.

GEN, BANKS CHURCH ORDER.
The following is General Banks's order in
relation to the closing Of churches in New
Orleans, already noticed in the Gazette
Applications for the suspension of the or
der closing certain churches in the city Of
New Orleans, have been presented to the Mill
tary Governor Of the State, end by him refer
red to the Major General commanding.
An omission in the church service, assumed
to have been made by direction Of the church
government, is understood to have been the
basis Of this order. Where the head Of the
State is also head Of the Church, an omission
like that referred to would be in contrayention
Of political authority; but the government does
not here assume that power, and the case pre-
sented does not seem to require continued IN
tervention Of military authority. The order
IS therefore, Professionally rescinded, and the
churches will be opened as heretofore on and
after Christmas day. This decision is based
upon the negative character OF the offence
charged.
The commanding general desires 1t to be un-
derstood, however, that clergymen are subject
to the restrictions imposed upon all other men.
They well know the extent Of their privileges.
No appeal TO the passions Or prejadices Of the
people, Or to excite hostility to the Govern
ment, whether in the form Of prayer exhorta
ton, counsel. or sermon. nor any offensive de
monstration: whether open or covert, can be,
allowed.
