Church, under the influence Of the political
revolution which has passed over the coun
try, can be schismatical. Schism respects
the unity of the church in che unity Of her
faith. It's sin lies in the wilfui violation Of
this unity by undue severance but neither
the church nor the faith has been at issue,
and the cause ofssverance was both inYol-
untary and overwhelming Therehas been,
therefore, no sohism. The Southern Church
ispow rightly constituted, aud is AN inde.
pendent and intregal branch Of the Church
Catholic. such, she can, of right, shape
her own course. She is free to remain as
she is She is, also free to return. to her
union with the Church at the North. Which.
tshail she .do7 This 10 tho great ptoposi-
ition. In determining it brethren, we
tshould look deeply into ourselves I'm
christian sentiments may prove as injurious
as false positions, Let Us make the severe
mental effort Of seyefing ourselves from all
feelings and purposes not purely Christian.
Let no fanaticism Of Independence disturb
the spirit of catholic concord and union !;
nor any want Of Christian courage diminish
our supreme regard for the purity oftruth.
To plant ourselves on the true basis is our
lofty purpose. The Church is built. upon
the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ Himself being the head corner
stone. To this We will strive to adhere. :
We cannot but perceive that the age is
political and secular in its tendencies: Its
ruling powers are those of combination. -
This secures dominion, but is dangerous to
truth. We must think, too, that q territory
SO immense, with population so hetrogene.
ous and discordant as that comprehended
between the Atlantic and Pacific, the Lakes
and the Rio Grande, is too vast for any one
church. Onr Southern country is limited,
homogeneous, and not given to speoulations.
Does it not appear, then, that. here is our
surest foundation for peace and truth ? :
I declare to you, brethren, my strong de.
sire is that, under the mercy, and guiding
Providence of God, che Southern Church
may be enabled to maintain her present in
dependant and catholic position This I
will seek, and to this give'tny best efforts.
But, shonld this be otherwise ordered by
counsels stronger than our own, let the mot
to of the Diocese of South Carolina, how
ever associated, eyer be:
A CHURCH DIVINE, NOT HUMAN: A
GOSPEL PURE AND PERFECT.
In conclusion, permit me, beloved breth-
rem, to assure You of my warm Christian af-
fection and most heartfelt sympathies with
you in all the trials and suferipga You are
now called to undergo. May God oyerrule
all painful events totour spiritual benefit
and the glory of His great name, through
Jesns Christ our Lordl ..-,

Inauguration Of General Lee as Presi-
dent Of the Washington College.
LEXINGTON, VA, October 2, 1866.
General Robert e. Lee was to-day installed
President Of Washington College. There
was no pomp Of parade. Z The exercises Of
installation were the simplest possible-an
exact and barren compliance with the re-
quired formula of taking the oath By the
new President, and nothing more. This
was in accordance with the special request
Of General Lee. IT was proposed to have
the installation take place in the college
chapel, to send invitations far and wide, TO-
have band Of music to play enliyening
airs, to have young girls, robed in white
and bearing ehaplets Of flowers, to sing
songs Of welcome; to hare congratulatory
speeches, to make it grand holiday. That
this proposed programme was not carried
oat was a source Of severe disappointment
to many. But General Lee had expressed
his wishes to the contrary to the choice and
determination of the college trustees and
the multitude, and his wishes were complied
with.
The Installation Csrenuonses.-The in
stallation took place at nine A. M., In a
recitation room Of the college. In this room
were seated the faculty and the students,
the ministers Of the town churches, a magis-
trate and the county clerk, the last two off.
cials being necessary to The ceremonial
General Lee was inducted into the room by
the Board of Trustees At his entrance
and introduction all in the room. rose, bowed
and then became seated. Prayer by Rev.
DR.. White, pastor Of the Presbyterian
church, directly followed. To me it was q
noticeable fact, and perhaps worthy of re-
cord, that he prayed for the President of,
the United States altogether it was a
most fitting and impressive prayer.
Judge Broehen6 6roagfs -Speeck
prayer ended, Judge Brookenbrough, chair
main of the Board of Trustees, stated the
object of their coming together, to- install
General Lee as President Of the Washing
ton College. He felt the serious dignity Of
tbs occasion, but it was 3 seriousness and a
dignity that should be mingled with heart.
felt joy and gladness.. Passing brief eu!
logy upon General Lee, and 3congratuIating
the board and the college, and its present
and future students, on obtaining one SO
loved and great and worthy to preside over
the college, he said he could say great
deal more, had it not been voted against
speech making. During the delivery Of
these few words-and they came, despite
the prohibitory voting, very near caimina-
ting to the dignity Of set as we'll as elo-
quent speech.
General Lees Appearance. -Geuersl
Lee remained standing, his arms quietly
folded and calmly and steadfastly looking
into the eyes Of thsspeaker. 2 Justice WI.
liam White, at the'instance Of Judge Brook.
enborough, now administered the oath OF
Office to General Lee For the benefit OF
those curious to know the nature Of this new
oath to which General Lee has just sub
scribed, and as it is brief, 1 give itSentire.
