The Episcopal Churches Of Alabama
all closed by the Military

We publish this morning an order issued IL
the goth of September by Major General
Charles R. Woods, Commanding tie Depart
ment of Alabama, in which that officer, acting
as he says, pursuant to the directions Of Major
General Thomas assumes by virtue Of his
military office, to suspend Richard Wilmer,
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
Alabama, and the Protestant Episcopal clergy
of that diocese from their functions, and for
bids them to preach, or perform divine SER
vice, and closed their places of worship until
such time as said Bishop and clergy show a
sincere return to their allegiance to the Gov
eminent of the United States, and give evil
dence of a loyal and patriotic spirit by offer
ing to resume the use of the prayer for the
President of the United States and all in civil
authority, and by taking the Amnesty oath by
the President. This prohibition" says the
order, 'shal continue in each individual case
until special application is made through the
mttltary ctunnets to these headquarters for per-
mission to preach and perform divine service,
and until each application as approved at these
or superior headquarters"
''The general" not content with thus sus-
pending the Bishop and his clergy, and clos
ing all their churches until such time as they
shall, man by man. humiliate themselves be-
fore him, and ask his pardon, arrogates to him.
self the powers of a general convention, de-
clares that the action of the Bishop and Clergy
is violation of the cannons of the church ;
that their heartsare '|flled with hatred, malice
and unchairtableness," and actually suspends
them from their functions We await with
anxiety the action which the President shall
take upon this most grave assault upon the
hottest and dearest of our constitutional rights.
We cannot believe that he will fail to rebuke
it with all the energy he can command.-N

late despatch from Washington City has
informed the public that the two Catholic
Priests whom Captain Wirz desired to see as
his spiritual advisers have returned to their
homes in Georgia without having received per-
mission to enter the Capitol The Rev. Mr.
Boyle, a priest residing in Washington, has also
endeavored, but in vain, to visit him. Several
weeks have passed since this sick prisoner
begged that he might be allowed to see cler-
gyman. On one or two occasions lately he
was supposed to be in dying condition But
we are compelled to infer, from the above
statements, that his wish, in this particular,
has not yet been acceded to. 1t is possible
that some other clergyman has been permitted
to minister to his spiritual wants, but had such
been the case it is probable that we should
have heard of it, and we are therefore forced
to the conclusion that Mr.. Stanton has declin-
ed to grant the necessary pass. If we are
right in this conjecture, we will presume that
the President is unaware of the true state of
the case. Never, III any semi-civilized coun-
try, have the most degraded or despised crmi-
mails been denied free conference with their
spiritual guides, and it cannot be that in the
city of Washington, and in the middle of the
nineteenth century, Mr.. johnson would per-
init any obstacle to stand for single moment
between Christian priest and sick prisoner
on trial tor his life. Butignorance on the part
Of the President would not relieve the country
OF the indelible disgrace that would attach to
it, If our supposition that Captain Wrz has
been denied any communication with a priest
is correct. If we are wrong our Washington
contemporaries should make known the real
facts.-BaH. Gazette.

The WiPZ Trial.

The trial Of Wirz was continued on Mon
day by the examination of witnesses for the
defense. Capt J. H. Wright, a quarternas-
ter Of the 55th Georgia infantry, on guard du-
ty at Andersonville, testified that he thought
the Confederate soldiers received the same ra-
tons as were issued to Union prisoners that
he had never heard of Wirz shooting prison.
ers that he knew Of one prisoner who was
buried with Masonic honors; he had seen some
of Stoneman's men searched, but never knew
much about what Wirz did inside the stockade.
Judge Hall, being recalled, stated that there
had been an appeal made to send vegetables
to Gen. Johnston's army, but that great diff
Guilty was experienced in procuring provisions
Of this kind.
The land around Andersonvile was very
barren, and if there had been plenty, the pri-
soners could not get anything for their money,
because it was penitentiary offence for any
one to deal in United States money. 1t was
also capital felony to harbor OF entertain
Federal prisoners. Wirz had applied to wit
ness to prosecute some men implicated in steal
ing provisions intended for the Union prison.
erS.
An order was read from the War Depart
ment relieving General E. S. Bragg from duty
on the Commission. Mr.. Baker, counsel for
WiM, wanted to know the reason, but the
court told him it was mono of his business, and
ordered him to go on with the examination.

MISCELLANEOUS,
Grant and sherman in Trouble.

That terrible j. L. Headley, who wrote
Napoleon and his Marshals," and "WaShing-
ton and his Generals" has commenced work
on Grant and Sherman Their Campaigns
and Generals The work is to comprise an
authentic account of pretty nearly everything
connected with the great civil war and there
are to be numerous steel engravings." 1t is
some consolation to know that it is to be sold
only by subscription, and if everybody will
intimate gently to the agents as soon as they
appear that they are respectfully requested to
retire, speedily and in good order without
showing the specimens Of the book OF making
a noise, the public persecution may not be-
come intolerable
The publishers notice opens thus SUI
perbly:
"No subscription books ever published have
equaled, in popularity and circulation, Mr..
Headley's previous books. We are warranted,
therefore, in predicting for this work an un-
exampled success"
This shows the supreme confidence of the
publisher in the stupidity of the American
people,
The accuracy of the immortal historian is
equal to that of the heavy man of one of our
cotemporaries who, at the end of 1864,
wrote history of the year, describing all the
great battles, and attributing the capture of
the rebel General Johnston's division at Spott-
sylvania to a brilliant charge by Burnside, :"
and accounts for the removal of Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston from the command of the rebel
army of Tennessee, by citing his defeat in
the several battles in the neighborhood of At
anta.
Mr. Headleys chapter on the battle of Mis-
sionary Ridge is given as specimen, and in
all its loneliness as follows:
an the battle aghich aCdS to take Oh0ttdnooQ0
Sherman was to press heavily Braggs right on
Mission Ridge and threaten his communication
so that he would be compelled to weaken his
centre to repel the advance and then Thomas
was to move straight on the centre and finish
the battle with clap Of thunder"
The battle which was to take Chattanooga, 7"
in good. We should like to see Mr. Headly
tell that to one of the boys of the Army of the
Cumberland.
And we have further of the same battle:
"Grant had in this battle an Indian chief ON
has STAFF and the grave sachem thus describes
his impressions of the General during the sue
Cessive actions: at has been matter of uni
versal wonder that Gen. Grant was not killed,
for be was always in front and perfectly heed
less of the storm of kissing bullets and scream
ing shells flying around him. His apparent
want OF sensibiEty does not arise from heed
essness, heartlessness, or vain military affecta-
ton, but from sense of responsibility resting
upon him when in battle. When at Ringgold
we rode for half a mile in the face of the enc
my, under an incessant fire of cannon and
musketry; nor did we ride fast, but on an CT
binary trot; and not once, do / believe, did it
enter Generals mind that he was in danger.
Is this the stuff that we are all to call his
tory-Oncinnati Commercial.

NEWSPAPER BLUNDERs ABOUT THE LATE
Mr., DUANE.-Every one of your papers state
that W. j. Duane resigned from the position
of Secretary Of the United States Treasury
when in the Cabinet of Andrew jackson. This
is not so. He did not resgn-he was removed
for dsobedience of orders. Those who pub
fish the fact that he resigned know nothing
about the matter. When he refused to remove
the deposits, President jackson wrote to him,
81 am constrained to tell you that your services
as Secretary Of the Treasury are no longer re-
CURED, This is the truth of the matter, and
a reference to the history of the affair will con-
vince any one who does not fear the truth
