Tnu OLnRIOAL Bull A0AINsr Tun EAn-
Tho st1nppted interference Of certain clergy.
men Of this oity IN tho programme prepared
for the Metropolitan Fair has attracted very
wide attention. and tho assumption has been
denounced by al tho press. with but ono OF
two exception II hes In many circles Of 60
ciety been regarded = sclerica bull against
the fair"-against the Sanitary Fair a. wcli ~
against the fair Of New York. With shameless
disregard Of the decencies Of private life, these
clergymen, with gowns and without gowns,
rhavo attempted to present . large number Of
tho most respectable and patriotic ladies Of
New York before the rude gaze Of the public
a. instruments in amovement whose tendency
IL ITO debauch the public conscience and cor
rupt the public virtue" This was suficient to
stamp the protest with odium, and to arouse.
public indignation against the authors Of II;
and, a. IN effort to thwart the patriotic inten-
lions Of tho getters up Of the fair. and to throw
obstacles In the way Of its success it Is a. i'm
pudent AZ II Is disloyal and unpatriotic
TO bring this matter Of raining again homo
to them: what have these clergymen to say In
extenuation Of the public sale Of their church
pews. Is mot the privilege Of hearing favor
ito and eloquent preacher "prise" TO which
the pew buyers aspires And is not the putting
up those pews to the highest bidder literally
rafae or . gambling operation for prize, by
which their churches are enriched, and In which
tho most opulent are most likely to win! These
who can afford 70 invest the most greenbacks
got the best seats and hear to the best advantage
while tho poor devotes either has to take
back seat, or, in other words, draws blank.
Moreover, how il it with the parishioners Of
these clcrgymens Will either Of the reverend
signers Of this protest having rich congrega-
ton, point his finger. during bis next Sabbath
discourse, TO the gold operator or stookjobber
Of Wall street. sitting among his congregation,
and say that he u not, in the completest
sense, rafier, gambler, seeker after
prizes in the lotteries Of speculation, but
is . fit subject for clerical denunciation! We
have yet to witness such q sublime spectacle
among the clergy who occupy pulpits in our
fashionable churches; and several Of tho names
of such divines ere appended to this indecent
protest. A man may become maniac on an
exchange arising from bad speculations, from
drawing blanks when prizes were expected, and
may brandish drks and wound public officers,
and put to fright . whole batch Of his
victimizers; but does either of these clergy
men pretend to say that they would denounce
the entire operations of that exchange as i'm
moral, as gambling, as tending to "debauch the
public conscience and corrupt the public vir-
tues" When they do this they may attempt to
justify their course toward those ladies of New
York who are engaged in this purely patriotic
aud purely benevolent enterprise Of a Metro
nnlitan Fair 81

Eitz-Greene IIalleck on Liter


ary Style.
An Andover correspondent of the In
dependent writes as follows
"Among the pleasures Of short resi-
dence in Guilford, Ct, was an acqualn-
tance I formed with Fitz-Greene Halleck,
the author of Marco Bozarris.'
Meeting him one day in the street,
he stopped me and said 1 learn that
YOU are going to be minister. l want
YOU to call upon me. l wish to read you
q sermon. that deem a model for men
of your profession.
az promised to call, and the next
morning went to the poets house, and
was shown into the sitting room, where
the poet babe me welcome. He beck
oned me to chair. and then took down
from a shelf volume, and began to read
in that sonorous, dreamy, undulatory
tone of voice so peculiar to him. The
volume was Charters Sermons, Char
ter was Scotch preacher, located at
Wilton, Scotland.
The poet read from sermon on the
text Il would not live alway.' He read
until the tears gathered in his eyes and
coursed down his cheeks. He finished
the sermon, laid down the book, and
asked, sHow do you like it Very
much, was my reply. Said he, That
sermon is what I call perfect poem.
then ventured to remark, Its greatest
charm, in my opinion, is in its simplici-
ty. Many of the sentences, l remark,
are composed wholly of monosyllables.'
"'I think soS too, said Halleck, and
that reminds me of an incident that came
under my observation while in New
York. While there letter fell into my
hands which Scotch servant-girl had
written to her lover. Its style charmed
me. 1t was fairly inimitable l wonder
ed how, in her circumstances In life, she
could have so elegant and perfect q
STYLE. I showed the letter to some OF
my literary friends in New York, and
they unanimously agreed that 1t was
model of beauty and elegance. l then
determined to solve the mystery, and l
went to the house where she was employ
ed. and asked her how it was that in her
humble circumstances in life, she had
4
acquired q style SO beautiful that the
most cultivated minds could but admire
| it, Sir, she said, 4 came to this
country four years ago. Then l lid not
know how to read or write. But since
then I have learned how TO read and
write. but have not yet learned how TO
spell SO, always when l sit down to
write O letter, I choose those words
which are so short and simple that am
sure know how to spell them. Ihere
WAS the whole secret. The reply of this
simple-mihded Scotch girl condems q
world of rhetoric into nut Shell. SIM
plicity is beauty. Simplicity is power.
II would that every man could read
this aneedote. How many words, how
much bombast, would this principle,
here inculcated. eliminate from ambi'
tious sermons and addresses.

General Sickles, who in other times

OBSERVATIONS IN THE SOUTH.
A Massachusett's Chaplain's
Narrative.

Rev. ]. II. Fowler, Chaplain OF the
Thirty-third United States colored infan-
try, released after nearly years impris-
onment at the South, writes to the Bos-
ton Journal as follows:
"I had many free conversations with
intelligent Southern men. They were
unanimous in their determination to fight
for independence even to determination.
They were looking forward to the next
Presidential election, hoping for change
of administration in their favor. They
depend great deal upon the final sue
cess of the opposition party at the North
mot that they desired any kind OF re-
union, or would accept anything short
of complete independence. The excep-
tions were among men Of little or no m
Ausnce, men of no opinions, ana merely
SICK of the hardships of the war.
THE PRISONERS IN cHARLEsToE.
"After two weeks at Pocotaligo, was
taken to Charleston. Marching through
the burnt portion of the city, the eorpo-
raj in charge pointed to the ruins OF the
hall where the first declaration OF seces-
sion had been signed by traitors, where
the sentence of desolation and ruin for
that city and orr country had been
passed. There said he, is q spot OF
earth sacred to every South Carolinian,. a
spot of which every man and woman In
the Confederacy is proud We were kept
in Charleston Jail six weeks, with blan,
kets and with q starving allowance OF
food.-But through the kindness ofsome
friends I was provided with a small
amount of money and some additional
clothing. Two Masonic bodies gave me
twenty-five dollars each. Other PRISON.
ers came in with money, and we suffered
comparatively little.
PROCURING sUPPIIEs-How PRISONERS ARE
TREATED.
"When We had money Of our own we
could always buy what We wanted. We
had blankets, some furnished by the
rebs. some borrowed, some bought, some
ne 1t oyer by our Government. OF wooo
we drew little and bought the rest. We
found the best way to procure money wa

to onr orier. These we could negotiate
with a banker getting something near an
equivalent Next in value to foreign ex'
change to send o prisoner gold, but in nc
case greenbacks. The privates IN Colum
bia occupied barracks in the jail yard
and fared much worse than the officers
having fewer blankets, none furnished by
the rebs, and being very poorly clad
some of them nearly naked and without
money. except such as the officers gave
them or paid them for work. There wa'
plenty of good water in small back yard
10 which we were all admitted three
times each day. A very kind and gentle
manly surgeon came around once day
and when any one became very sick N
was taken to the hospital and well care'
