HEADouiRTERs SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT,
CHARLESTON, s. c., April q, 1867.
In reply to letters received at these headquar-
tiers, asking information as to the operation in
particular cases of General Orders No. 10, current
series from these headquarters, am directed by
the commanding general to state that the provis-
ions of the order will be interpreted and enforced
by the courts. The order is to be deemed and
taken as an ordinance having the sanction and
authority of the United States for the regulation
of certain civil affairs therein specified within so
much of the territory occupied by the military
forces of the United States, lately the theatre of
war; as is embraced within the second military
district created by act of Congress.
Although some of the former political relations
of the inhabitants are in allegiance, their private
relations, their persons and property, and their
remedies for wrongs remain as heretofore, within
the cognizance of the local tribunals and subject
to the laws of the provisional government hitherto
in force except SO far as such laws are in conflict
with the Constitution and laws of the United
States, or with the regulations prescribed by the
commanding general.
Amongst the consequences necessarily incident
to the military authority established by Congress-
and indispensable to the objects tor which the
authority is established, is the appointment and
control of the civil agents by whom and measures
by which the government al Interim is to be con-
Quoted. In the exercise of this authority, such
regulations and appointments will be announ-
ced from time to time as may become neces
sary; and so far as these regulations concern the
ordinary civil relations of the inhabitants, they
will be administered by the courts and by the
proper civil officers in the usual course of pro-
cedure.
Whilst it will not be convenient to respond to
particular inquiries made by citizens as to the
Interpretation and application of these regula-
lions, such interrogatories will be answered when
addressed to the general commanding by the APP

MY CASTLE.

"And the rain descended, and the floods

fall of it."-MATTHEw, vii. 81.
built CASTLE where the sunny sea
Tossed its bright pillows in the summer
air;
A noble castle,-fashioned regally.
With lofty towers, and portals wide and
fair.
The rarest marbles paved its spacious mans;
Grand arches spanned each ceilings state-
ly height; ;,
With rich mosaics gowed its paneleo walls
And, through stained windows, poured
prismatic light.
filed it with the choicest work Of art
That taste, and skill, and labor, could
supply;
With treasures CLEANED from every famous
mart;
With all the luxury that wealth could buy.
And there, unmindful of the persisted past,
Or what in the dim future might betide,-
Within the present, beautiful and vast,
babe my heart be happy-and ABIDE.
But, suddenly, the sky was filled with gloom;
A fierce CONFUSION shook the thlckenlng
air;
And thunder tones pronounced dread words
of doom,
Traced, on the darkness, in the lightning's
glare!
The raging ocean, with fearful swell,
Swept, through the tempest deluging the
And, reeling from its base, my castle FELL
For had founded it upon the sand
The storm was spent-and, with sullen
moan,
Back from the ruin, rolled the waves once
nore:-
And sorrow stricken, I went forth, alone
A hopeless outcast, on dreary shore!

EpIsCopA LIAM QUESTION OF DISCIPLINE. -
Recently there has been lull in the excite
meat caused in Episcopal circles by the charges
of violation of Church discipline which Rev.
Mr.. Stubs, of New Brunswick. n. j., made
against Rev, Stephen II. Tying Jr,, for haV-
ing preached in Methodist church at New
Brunswick, and it has been supposed that AR.
'Evug would not be arranged for trial.
Much correspondence has passed between the
standicg committee having the subject under
consideration and the High Church party, and
it is said that the latter arc ANXIOUS to have the
matter amicably adjusted.
The party Of the more liberal EpiscopaiianS,
however, are determined to proceed to the most
extreme issue, in order to secure tul! and I'm,
qualified decision on Mr. Tying 5 course, and
they demand that the trial shall proceed.
Mr.. Tying is anxious that the whole question
shall be investigated; that the meaning OF the
canon supposed to have been violated may be
determined now, and that he may know what
course is to be pursued hereafter; and that II
be determined before the standing committee
of the diocese of which be is a presbyter, IN
order that full justice may be done him. ana
an opportunity offered for defence.
The Protestant Church Luan, the organ OF the
Low Church party Of the Episcopal Church,
says that the matter must be determined at
the present hour, and that they hold the
standing committee OF the Diocese OF Ne"
York responsible, and that they act promptly.
