Singular Incident Of the
War.

In the early part CT 1864 a short
but spirited Gght occurred at a place
in East Tennessee called cambridge.
between a part of Longstreet's
corps and a considerable force of
Federal cavalry. Many were killed
on both sides. Among the con-
federate dead was a man named
SeafOrd, from North Carolina, who
had been a professor of mathemat-
les IN one of the colleges of that
state, and who was one of the finest
looking men we ever saw. He was
private in the Washington light
infantry from Charleston, >. c.,
and would not accept a commits
sIOu, though it was ten
dered him several times.
He was buried On the spot where he
was killed, and his comrades re-
turned 10 their quarters-seVeral
miles away. About two weeks
after the fight letter came to his
address. The captain of the CON-
pany opened it, and it proved to be
from a young lady to whom Sea-
ford was engaged 30 be married. 1t
was written on the very day the
fight occurred at cambridge, related
a dream the writer bad just had, in
which she saw Seaford lying dead
on the battlefield shot through the
left misunderstanding the death
wound exactly as it was, and even
the topography of the field, though
she lad never seen it, and in az
probability knew nothing of the
battle. she begged him to send hel
a lock of his hair as sacred me

The council OF Catholic bishops which is now
holding its solemn sessions in this city is an
impressive demonstration of the power and
splendor of the great his tOric Church. In the
ceremonies at the Cathedral one may study n
ritual which has outlved centuries Of eccles-
astical change, and listen to a creed which boasts
of immutability, ntoned in a language long
dead by a clergy whose very robes are the
relics of primitive costume. 1t is spectacle
TO stir the Imagination, and its effect Is en-
HANGED by the incongruity OF the surroundings.
In this pushing, materalistic, irreyeIent and
unpoetical community, the Catholic Church is
not simply survival of the ages OF faltb FIX
ternally it is new growth. All this 81 lendor
has been accumulated on American soil from
the gifts of the poor A large proportion of the
bishops and priests sprang from the laboIng
class. They are immigrants or the sons OF I'M
migrants. Ii is barely thirty years since the
first pro gincial council ever held in this city
was convened by Archbishop Hughes, aud
the present assembly Is only the third. In the
meantime although the territorial extent of the
ecclesiastical province has been reduced more
than one-half, the metropolitan church OF
New. York has gained enormously n import
ance and resources. 1t is ruled by n cardinal,
whose jurisdiction is acknowledged hy seven
suffragans. There are as many bishops in the
province now as there were before the six New
England sees were cut of from New York and
New Jersey to make new province under the
Archbishop of Boston. The territory which
now forms the province OF New-YOrk (that is
