The archives of the State, mainly covering Gov.

In surrendering them 10 your custody as the pres.
ent representative of State authority we claim only
that whatever may be found in tho cumbrous boxes
containing them of private character belonging TO
any one whether correspondence or individual pa
pers, shall be withdrawn and given to us or the

up anything not properly belonging TO tho State

As for ourselves, personally, we ask for nothing
beyond what magnanimous opponent may choose

We desire to be informed in Your reply whether
We can be permitted TO return to our families with

Aid for the Freedmen.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 14-Presby-
terian Synod of Kentucky has been in ses-
sion three days. No action of the Conven-
tion yet upon any proposition save Or
ganization. Before the regular officers
were elected, DR.. X. j. Breckenridge made
a motion censuring and proposing to cut
of a majority of the Louisville Presbytery,
alleging they had rebelled against the au-
thority of the General Assembly, by
adopting a paper entitled a declaration
and testimony against the action of the
Assembly, and errors prOpagated by the
Assembly during the last five years.
DR.. Breckinridge made speech of con-
siderable length yesterday, and will be
followed by DR.. Wilson and other members
ofthe Louisville Presbytery to-day.
A large audience of colored people at
Centre street Church were addressed last
evening by DR.. James Massey, of London,
Agent of the British Aid Society. Levi
Coffin, of Cincidnati, Agent of the Freed
mems American Aid Society, and General
Busbane, of the British Aid Society, have
already raised f40,000 for Ameri-
can Freedmen, and Massey comes to ascer-
tain what further aid our freedmen require
from England.

since, Misses Emma and Ada Webb, are an
nounced to appear at the Opera House to-

ment could be more gratifying than this to
those, especially, who prefer to be pleased

matte representations. In the musical, the

EpiscopnI Convention.

PHILADELPHn, Oct. H.-At the Episco-
pal Convention this morning the Hon. Ho-
ratio Bnney introduced the following:
ReS0lCed, That this House, in most cordi-
ally concurring, as 1t has done, in the reso-
luton of the House of Bishops appointing
a day of thanksgiving tor the return of
peace to the country and unity to the
Church, most respectfully expresses to the
House OF Bishops its most earnest desire
that In the religious services to be appoint
ed Tor the day especial thanks should be Of
iered 10 Almighty God for the restoration
OF national authority over the whole coun-
try, and for the removal of that great occa-
sion OF national dissention and estrange-
ment to which our late troubles were due.
Judge Chambers moved to lay the resolu-
ton on the table, and the PENNSYLVANIA del
egation called for the ayes and nays.
MIR. Binney said that these are truths to
which no utterance has yet been given.--
Mr.. Binney was loudly called to order.
DIR. Goodwin asked if the question had
been taken. If it had he called for it's re-
consideration. .-..
Judge Bittle, of North Carolina, moved
to lay the motion to reconsider on the ia
BILE.
DIR. Cummins rose to question of privi-
lege, but was noisily called to order.
The Hon. MIR. Brunst tried to ask ques-
tion, but was also noisily interrupted.
The Rev. DR.. Goodwin asked if such
course as was proposed would not finally
settle the question.
The Chair decided that it could not be
brought up to-day, but could hereafter.
The ayes and nays having been called for
were taken, the question being on the mo-
tion to lay the motion to reconsider on the
table, the effect of the passage Of which
would be to prevent the question being ia
ken up again during the session of the
present Convention. The result of the vote
by Dioceses was as follows: Clerical, twen-
ty ayes, six nays; Lay, fifteen ayes, seven
nays.

New Orleans Items The Order
Closing Churches i'm Alabama
Gov. Wells Nominated for Gov
ernOr by the Democracy of Lou.
isiana-GOv. HamiltOn's Private
Secretary.
New YORK, Oct. 14.-New Orleans papers
to the 9TH contain the following items:
Brigadier- General Baird, who supersedes
Mr.. Conway at New Orleans In the manage
ment of the freedmen's bureau, received his
appointment from the President himself,
and not from General Howard. The fact in
this connection is quite important.
At Jefferson, Marion county, Texas, cot
ton continues to come in briskly. The
Shreveport South Western of the 9th ult.,
says the receipts of cotton for few days
previous had been rather light owing to
the eXorbitant prices of freight in New Or
leans.
The Shreveport papers OF the 9th ult,
report heavy rise above the raft, and q
prospect for plenty of water from Jefferson,
Texas, down.
The military order closing the Alabama
churches is still enforced. A Mobile cor
respondent under date of Oct. 1st, writes
Although the Rev. Mr.. Mitchell, Rector of
the Episcopal church in this city, has been
in the habit of praying for the President of
the United States, there is no servicein his
church to-day, in obedience to the order of
Major-General Wood. 1t is to be hoped that
Bishop Wilmer will either rescind his in
structions or that a general Convention of
the Episcopal church South will soon be
assembled to take action upon this and 9TH
er matters of Importance.
Governor Wells has written a letter ac-
cepting the Democratic nomination for
Governor. He says: / am happy to ap-
prove, in the resolutions adopted by the
Convention, full, free and frank recogni-
tion of the obligation on our part, in the
declaration to the effect that the people of
Louisiana accept the settlement of the ques-
tions involved in the late struggle; that we
have renewed our allegiance in good faith
and intend to render our honest support to
the Constitution and union of the States
Hereunder. President johnson asks no
more from us.
The Austin correspondent of Sept. Goth,
of the Galveston Bulletin, says: Governor
Hamilton appointed as his Private Secretary
Fred. w. Moore, Esq, who raised a COM
pany for the Confederate service and served
with it during the war. The correspondent
of the Bulletin says, now that the war is
over, Mr.. Moore accepts the situation in all
sincerity, believing it his duty, as good
citizen, to labor as faithfully to restore or
der and good government as Confederate
rule compelled him to labor for its destruc-
tion. In appointing him Private Secretary,
Governor Hamilton pays a just compliment
to Mr.. Moore's well known honesty and in
tegritr of character, and one that is more
appreciated than would be an appointment
to more prominent position.

The Election In Virginia = Tht
Constitutional Amendment-Th
Negroes Letter from General
HriscOe.
New YORK, Oct. IA The Herald's Rich
Emond correspondence of the 18th says: Up
to this writing the indications are that you
may rely on the election of the following
named gentlemen in this District: For Con-
gress, B. j. Barbour; to the House of Vir-
ginia Delegates, there is now no doubt OF
the election OF n. NJ. Lee, Ready r. Grot-
ton aud Littleton Taswell, from the city OF
Richmohd, and Franklin Stearns for the
county OF HenricO. 1t Is conceded John III.
pflmer will be elected to the State Senate.
The defeat of Mr.. Charles Palmer for the
Senate Is a most disastrous Indication. He
is the distinguished humorist who some
weeks since was introduced to President
johnson and his Cabinet at the Executive
Mansion, and largely complimented for
both his exalted character and services to
the Union throughout the late war in Rich
mond, The returns are favorable to the
election OF Charles l.. Mosby, the eligible
candidate of the 9th District. j. i. Hague
is probably elected in the Sth District.
The Constitutional Amendment is adopt
ed by an almost unanimous vote. 1t re-
moves the disability from holding Office of
those who prominently participated in the
rebellion.

by Northern men doing business in this

Briscoe, now on trial at Washington for
larceny of United States moneys and bull
lion, dated Old Capitol Prison, in which the
General asks a suspension of judgment, OH
the part of his military friends, until the
evidence for the defense is taken. He adds:
merely wish to say to you when the evil
dence is all taken, some facts will be dis
covered of which you and the public are
at present ignorant, and which will, | trust,
tend to place my case in a far different light
than it is now in.

BENEFIT OF EDWIN GROSS. The an
nouncement that Mr.. Edwin Gross has been
rendered complimentary benefit at the
Opera House tonight, cannot but be graft
flying to his numerous friends and admirers.
He did not come upon us with dash and
Flourish Of trumpets;" but since he has
been playing on our boards, he has steadily
grown in popular favor and esteem. In the
lighter and more humorous characters, he
has few equals, and we are glad to note one
characteristic in his playing that promises
to lead to eminent success-that he never
overstrains or overdoes the comic in order
to produce some sudden and unexpected
effect. He lets the humor flow out and from
him naturally, like water gushing from an
overflowing fountain. He appears, at his
benefit tonight, in the Battle of Bull Run,
as the contraband Jupiter-a character to
which he has proved his ability to give all
its pungency and point. Turn out to his
benefit.
