LOCAL NEWS.

FAREWELL SERMON Yesterday, both at
morning and evening service, large congre-
cation attended the venerable Christ Church
at the Navy Yard, it being understood that the
pastor, Rev. Joshua Morsell, would take leave
of his congregation, he having resigned the
rectorship OF the parish to take effect on that
day.
For some time past there has been an I'M
happy feeling existing between the pastor yes
try and some of the congregation, caused by
some reports in circulation rejecting on the
pastors conduct, which led him to tender his
resignation which was accepted by the vesary.
The allegations were to the effect that he hal
attempted improper liberties with female MEM
bers of his congregation. 1t is claimed In his
behalf however, that those making the charges
afterwards signed paper exculpating him,
but that feeling of self respect and the belief
that his usefulness had been impaired by the
scandal caused his resi- gnation.
In the morning Mr. Morsell preached from Acts
oath chapter and 25th verse, making in it but
one ailusion to his leaving the congregation, in
which he stated that he hoped the petty quar-
rels between pastor, vestry ana people would
never recur.
Alright the text was, Eye are my witnesses"
part Of the 10th verse, I'd chapter of Thessa-
lonians; and he commenced by noticing the
presence OF SO large an assemblage, some OF
whom he had not seen in church tor months,
and who would only come out on the occasion
of q funeral or farewell sermon. He wished
the sermon to be indeed farewell sermon, for
he wished each and every one to fare well In
every sense. He referred to his course, stating
that he had eschewed politics in the pulpit,
although perfectly loyal man, ana II he had
his way he would exclude politics from all
puIpits. On politics in the pulpit he had been
silent. The prayer for the President he had
used, and he considered 1t test OF loyalty, and
no President, good or bad, had ever changed
his loyalty; he always used it. At the South
the prayer was for the President OF the Confed-
crate States, and it was loyal there to use 1t.
He was satisfied with his course; ne had
preached nothing but Christ and Justification
by faith.
He expressed the hope that minister might
He was an Episcopalian, and yet he consid.
cred IL his duty to unite with the brethren OF
other aenominat atoms In anything tending 70

HKADQUARTERs ARMY POTOMAC, DC. 30, a
m.-Since the army returned TO its old quar-
tiers on Friday, nothing of importance has
transpired.
The enemy's cavalry followed our troops
closely as they returned, but were prevented
from doing any damage of importance. The
only captures they made at this time were some
eight or ten ambulances, which had taken q
wrong direction, but even these they could not
get away. The horses were cut loose and run
Oft, and our men burned the wagons. The
rebel cavalry made repeated attempts to
charge, bat were each time repulsed with loss
During the day the en- tire army reached the
positions occupied by il previous to the move,
when the enemy at once withdrew, and they
also returned to their former position.
Our losses viii reach about $500, as near as
can be ascertained at present. The I'd corps,
which did most OF the fighIng lost 10 officers
killed, 81 wounded, - men killed, $50 wounded,
and about AGO missing.
The loss OF the enemy was severe, and some
say more than our own, in killed and wounded.
We have eight hundred and twenty -eight
prisoners, and four battle flags-most of which
were taken by the ID corps.
The 5th corps lost about one hundred and
thirty altogether, and the 9th corps upwards
division.
The casualties in the cavalry division are
not known precisely, but are thought to be
about two hundred. Many Of those classed as
missing. will undoubtedly return to camp, as
the number of stragglers was large. and are
constantly coming in.
The highest praise is given by all to the off,
GERS and men OF the second and third divisions
for their behavior during the day.
Generals Eagan and Mott who commanded
them, and General Smyth and Colonel McAlis-
ter, commanding brigades, are particularly
praised for the able manner in which they
handled Il cir men.
The charge made by the New Jersey brigade,
under Col McAllister. on the enemy who had
got in the rear Of our forces, was one of the
finest ever witnessed, and resulted in saving
the entire position.
AL Is quiet, with the exception of picket
firing, which is quite lively at night
