PoweR OF GEN1L9Nsss-No bad
mrn is ever brought to repentance by
angry words, bitter, scorniul reproacb-
es. He forlties himself against reproof,
and hurls back foul charges in the face
Of his accuser. Yet guilty and hardened
- he seems, he has heart in his bosom,
aud may be melted to teas by gentle
yo,oe. Whose, therefore, can restrain
his disposition to blame aud find fault,
aud can bring himself down to . fallen
brother, will soon End way to better
feelings within. Pity and patience are
the two keys which unlock Tho human
heart.

THE EXCHANGE OF PRusONERs

We have the authority Of the Solicitor OF the
War Department for retcrating the statement
that the Rebels peremptorily refuse TO exchange
colored soldiers and their white officers on any
terms whatever. Mr.. Writings letter, printed
this morning, may be taken as an Official e1-
position, so far as it goes, Of the dlliculties III
the way Of general exchange Of prisoners
There can be no doubt that he speaks the pur-
pose Of the Government when he say5 "All
other questions between US may be postponed
for future settlement but the fair exchange Of
colored soldiers and Of their white officers will
be insisted on by the Government before
another soldier or officer will be exchanged"
We rejoice to be assured that such is the IN
alterable resolve of tho President.
There seemed to be real danger that the
rights of the colored soldier and the duty Of the
Government might be forgotten amid The warm
sympathies with suffering prisoners which found
expression in loyal and disloyal journals alike.
The publication Of the Mercdth-Ould CORE
spondence, copied from the Richmond papers,
only helped to confuse the public mind, for in
those letters the main point was really lost

THE EPIsCOPAL CHURCH AND
THE KEREI.IION.

At the last Diocesan Convention OF New
York, IA report was read from the Trustees of
tho ParocLial Fund with the unanimous appro-
val Of that body in which they said: "Stimu-
lated and encouraged by the voice Of the
Church, as uttered in her late General Council,
and by the Pastoral Of the House Of Bishops,
the American People will htnccfor,h regard the
Episcopal Church of the United States IA hay-
ing a new claim TO their regard as u National
Church in ia sympathies and uttcrances." In
another column will be found letter from Mr..
Jay, addressed to Certain wardcns and vestry-
men of st. Lukc's Church, Somers, N. Y, in
reply to their apology for the refusal Of their
Rector to read the prayers specially appointed
for our Country and its defenders. The Rector
thus supported is from Maryland, and is said to
have brother in the Confederate Army.
The Rector of another Parish in Wcstchester
County, also from Maryland, recently refused
TO read the prayers in his church, alleging ca
nonical objections, and assuring II dissatisfied
parishoncr that his conscience would not allow
him TO read them.
The reply was rather emphatic than pious:
- your conscience you shall read them!
And he did rad them from that day!
Batting the emphasis, the good people of Som
crs will do well to exhibit a similar resolution.

fclt that our sons and brothers were starving
and suffering, and many were impatient that
all difficulties of diplomacy should be put aside,
all concessions made. for the sake Of ending
these miserics.
But tho Government has justly remembered
that il is bound to afford equal protection to all
its soldiers, and that it had no right to bargain
for the release Of part by surrcndering the
rest TO cruel imprisonment, to slavery, and to
death. That was the real alternative presented.
The colorcd troops whom the Government had
tardly summoned to fight for the Republic
wero to bo either protected or abandoned to
Rebel barbarity. 1t was necessary to decide
the question now; longer postpogcmcnt having
become clearly impossible rs well as disgraccful.
These soldiers wore the uniform and fought
under the flag Of the UniOn were captured
fighting for the Union, they and their white
officers. The Rebels refused to recognize them
as prisoners Of war, and distinctly declared
their PURPOSE TO treat them a. slaves and fclons
hay, did actually sell into slavery, shoot,
hang, and burn such soldiers and officers, and
either of those fatcs is to-day impending over
every colorcd soldier and his white officer in
Rebel hands. This Government would deserve
to lose our confidence, if from any motive what
ever il failed to do its utmost to protect them.
I'm its determination to maintain the rights OF all
who wear its uniform it should have the un-
questioning and undivided support OF loyal
people.
