CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.

We published few days ago extract purp'rtng to
be taken from recent private letter addressed by Gen
Meade to friend in New Jersey" Ia this extract
patriot But he clearly Ldicsted purpose to waste
no blood in fruess enterprises merely to propitae the
favor OF the surviving members Of the to- Richmond
party il natural that his views, thus expressed
should stir the bile of the New York Tribune. which sup
posed itself to discern in the wise military principles
avOwed BY Gen. Meade acon OF the prOcrasti-
natpg policy and inconscquental tactics ascrbed BY it
tion 10 the minds Of its readers the Tribune ventured to
utges that the friend in New Jersey whe had received
the private letter ia question other than Gen.
Mcclellan himself Ergo, the letter very bad letter
and Gen. Meade very poor sort Of General--as some
people count good Generals that is Generals who make
large butchers bills.
1t came to pass however, that discreet conempO-
rry discovered that the said letter not addressed
to Gen. Mcclellan but to leading Republican" in New
Jersey, when presto the play changes and read the
following amends honorable We quote from yesterday
Tribune
We did injustice yesterday to Gen Meade in presum
ing letter OF his, quoted by The Word. written to
Gen. Mcclellan. The original letterwhich to near
relative IN New jersey gentleman well known as lead
ing Republican of the State and very determined sup
question: when torn from its context may be construed
as in cordance with the procrastnatng poicy and in
consequential tactics of Gen Mcclellan, and such
was the malicious intent of The World But
when read part only of the familiar letter to which it
belongs, no such construction can be put upon IT,"

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN CHURCH

An extraordinary scene occurred at the Park street
Methodist church in Cincinnati Sunday last. While
the Pastor opening the services with prayer the con-
gregaton startled by of vocierous and for
the time, most uDseemly excamations from a female
accompanied by the sounds of blows and of scufe g.
Rising their feet the congregation discovered that
personal difficulty" Of the most unusual character was
in progress right among them. The Commercal thus
reports the affair:
1t that for time there have been active
hosttes in the church between Mack Barnitz book
publisher Fourth street and Mrs Nellie Jacobs both
members of the church Some months ago Mr. Barptz
rred serious charges agsnst Mrs Jacobs and there
good deal OF trouble IN the church about it Barnitz
superintendent Of the Sabbath school, and used bs
influence to have Mrs Jacobs driven from her position as
teacher of one of the classes 1t is said that Bantz
made the ssue that she not expelled from the school
he would resign the superntendeDcy and was there
FORE voted out She preferred charges against Mr. Bar
nitz of conduct unbecomng christian gentleman but
was unable to press them to trial. The difficulty be.
tween the two was of annoyance to the church
members generally, and they did not want any thing
more to say or do about it, But there is no cslcu-
atog the strategy Of nfuriaed woman and no no one
dreamed Of the possibility OF such az came 10 pass
yesterday.
During the frat prayer Mr.. Barntz, VIII, leads the
singing in the church and has prominent pew which he
occupies with his family was kneelng and bowed
ton Mrs Jacobs gded along the aisle and, drawing
cowskin which she had concealed n her skirts gave him
vehement whack directly the head and followed it
mp hot and heavy giving him really tremendous arrupnQ
the before those n the vicinity could collect
their scattered enough to Interfere She accom-
panied the blows with hysterical Of Oh you villain
There, you traduct T. Sander woman will you &c
Dr. Hitchcock paused IN the prayer, overwhelmed with
amaKement Several leading members of the church made
haste to que the dreadful outbreak when Mrs Jacobs
drew handful OF cayenne pepper and plunged IT 10 Mr.
Barntzs face and then dashed 1T right and left almost
suocatng two three elderly gentlemen who had int
fered She at length removed from the church. and
the services were proceeded with.
"As Mrs Jacobs put out at the door she said
am satisfied She has been Tor several years member
Of the church. and alleges that she has been sandered
persecuted by Brns and has been unable 10 obtain
that befel him pretty cooy and attended church in the
afternoon 1t is not probable that Mrs Jacobs will fire.
