Southern people TO pursue a course which
meets the most decided disapproval Of much
the largest and most influential portion Of

South Carolina Militia.
Gen. BENNETT, commanding at Charleston,
has issued the following order:
The Provisional Governor Of the State Of
South Carolina having issued q proclamation
for the organization Of q militia force, as a
home police, to act under the order Of district
and sub-district commanders Of the United
States troops, for the preservation Of order
and the arrest Of lawless and disorderly char
acters, It is hereby ordered that commanders
Of all sub.distriots and all officers serving
within the military district of Charleston,
will assist in the organization Of this force
requiring that each member shall have taken
the oath Of allegiance to the United States,

abiding citizen. Upon the completion Of the
organization Of one company in each sub
district, the sub.district commander will re-
port the fact to these headquarters, when

The Southern Churches.
The Richmond Republic says From an
inside view Of the late Episcopal Council in
this city we are satisfied that it is the pur-
pose and design Of the Episcopal Church of
Virginia to resume its former happy rela-
tions with the General Convention Of the
United States. There were, undoubtedly,
some persons in that body who would have
been glad to see resolutions adopted in favor
Of the permanent separation of this diocese, |
but they did not venture TO offer those reso-
lutions 1t is another significant fact that
Colonel Fontaine's s resolutions of reunion did

Gil, from which II may be fairly inferred that
4 majority Of the Council was not hostile to
his views, and that those who were, were
aware of that fact.
awe could wish that the Council had at once
adopted the suggestions of the Bishop; but,
from conversation with some of the most in.
telligent and influential members of that
body-men venerable alike for their wisdom
age, and experience-we are satisfied that
this is net to be attributed to any purpose |
Of separation, but that it was believed that
courtesy and respect to the Southern General
Council required the reference of the subject
20 body whose authority had been pre-
'iously acknowledged by this diocese, and
which, there can be no doubt, will favor the
eunion Of the Church. OF all the members
4 the Southern General Council only two |
ave expressed themselves in favor Of the |
continuance of separate church organiza.
ion. 1t is also to be borne in mind that the
ate Council in this city passed a resolution
its cordial appreciation Of the |
christian and conciliatory course of the |
Bishop of Virginia in his correspondence
With the northern bishop touching reunion"
