FROM ENGLAND.


The following communication reuches Us
through the blockade. 1t bears no date, and
NAV not contain the latest intelligence; bal
for all this, it will be found interesting:
Cassius +. Lee, Esq, of Alexandria, Va, has
been several times arrested by the Federal
Government, Of late, and nothing being
proved against him." he was released, with
great reluctance, as he was regarded d be
ing intensely dlsloyal.' ,
Thi. i, the old story Of ~llau,an, the son Of
uamedatha; the Syaglte, aud Murdaicai. the
Jew. of whom it is recorded that liaman
sought to STAY all the Jews, because MIR
daicai, who sat in the kings gate" and held
his peace, would not bow to llaman.
There is no more peaceful aud quiet man,
who fears God and attends to his WI al
fairs, than c. T. Lee, and yet he is arrest
ed because he will not Join in the hue and
cry, Great il Diana of the Ephesians.'

London. clip the following from one of our
English papers:
From the Guardian, the prominent Church paper If
England
TRE SOUTHERN AMERICAN CHURCH.
Sir-Allow me to correct a misconCeption
that may arise in consequence of your having
noticed the absence of the signatures IF the
bishops and clergy of the Protestant Episcn-
pal Church Of the Confederate States Of Amer
len from the address, lately published in the
Index" from clergy Of different denomina-
tons to their fcllow-Christians OH the %continu-
amce Of the war. can assure you that there
is no diversity Of sentiment or sympathy
among orr bishops and clergy on the facts and
statements of this address. AS the clergy Of
the Episcopal Church have been branded and
persecuted in all the Border States as Gin
tenselv disloyal" to the war measures Of the
Federal Government, so have they shown
themselves as consrientinusly loyal and en-
tlrcly accorlant with the truly honorable,
pious and humane policy of the Government
Of the Confederate States.
The separation between the North and the
South in ecclesiastical relations is organic and
final. and should the Federal Government, BY
bribery, corruption or suhjugation, ever extend
it's power over any or all of the territory of
the Confederate States, there can never be. in
any case, any future reunion of an ccclcsias-
teal character between the Churches of the
Southern and Northern States.
As TO the absence of signatures, not only
were the Bishops Of Virginia and North Caro-
lima absent on VisitatiUns when this paper
originated lin Il Baptist Conrcntion) ut Rich
mond. but your own knowledge would antici-
pate other difficulties if such :; paper. %origina.
ting thus. were presented for signature to the
arehbiShops and bishops here.
