respectfully ask you to give an order for the
delivery Of the remains Of the said George A.
Atzerodt, which lie buried In one of the ware
houses at the Arsenal, In this city.
The present enlightened age, as well as the
character and reputation Of the frcest people
Of the world, will not permit the medieval
and barbaric custom of seeking revenge on a
handful OF dust and ashes. Besides, your
well-known kindness and generosity, let me
hope that you will grant the desired favor
particularly in this case.
have the honor to be, sir, your most obe-
'diest servant, LOUIS SCHADR.
The request has been granted, and arrange
ments have been made to disinter the re-
mains to-day.
The relatives Of Capt. WirZ, the Anderson
Vile prison-keeper, not living in this vicinity,
and being poor, no application has as vet

arrangements whereby the necessary funds
for the removal of the body to q Christian
cemetery may be obtained.
A letter from Edwin Booth has been laid

1t Is well known that q portion Of the spinal
column was removed before the body was
taken of the monitor, aud II Is also believed
that the leg which was shattered when he
jumped from the box at Ford's theatre after
committing the act was amputated.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT THE NATIONAL
THBATRE.-The third Of the series of reli-
gious services under the auspices ofthe Amer
lean Unitarian Association was held at the
National theatre last evening. The audience
present, although a good one, was not as
large as at the preceding services. After
James b. Moore, the preacher for the occa-
sion, announced as his text the concluding
passage Of the 22d verse Of the 35th chapter
of the Gospel according to Matthew "Lord,
Is II 2" The speaker stated that the text
was taken from that portion OF the history
of Christ when, after Jesus had made the
announcement that one Of his disciples
should betray him, they were all sorrowful
and each was eager to have himself excul.

| When Jesus was executed on Calvary the
work of cruclfying the Son of God was be-
gun, and 1t is not yet ended. Many so-called
Christians, Of every creed, are daily and
hourly crucifying their Lord afresh by their
actions and their course Of life. The preacher
took the ground that each and every time
men violate the Christian attributes and the
principles Of the life of Christ the crucifying
process occurs.
In forcible and eloquent language the
speaker pictured the life of the theoretical
Christians Of the present day, and set forth
In how many ways Christ Is crucifed by
them, concluding by calling upon his hearers
to address to themselves the question asked
by the text, and endeayor to profit by the
practical propositions submitted.
The services at the theatre will now be
held on each Sabbath night for three weeks

The next discourse will be delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Sherman, pastor Of the Unitarian church
| In this city. He will be followed on the 2Sth
by Rev. DR.. Osgood, of New York, and on
March 7th the well known divine, Rev. DR..
Bellows, will preach.
The short time allowed the association this
year did not admit Of engagements to be made
for more services; but next year 1t is expected
that full and complete arrangements will be
made with the most prominent representa-,
tive men Of the Unitarian denomination, and
the services will be more frequent.
