Paul's Episcopal church, where Presi-
dent jefferson Davis and Gen. r. f. Lee
worshipped during their residence in
Richmond. The church was crowded to
its utmost capacity. The pew which
President Davis occupied while a mem
Der Of the congregation was draped in
the confederate colors-red, white and
red. The service was led by the rector
of the church, Rev. HURLEY Carmichael
D. D.. and there were with him in the
chancel Bishop Capers of South Carolina,
and Bishop Peterkin of West Virginia
The former bishop read the lessons. The
latter preached. The order Of the service
was as follows:
Professional. How Firm a Founda-
tiOn," which is understood to have been
Gen. r. E. Lees favorite hymn.
Gloria Patri." by Rev. DR.. Carmichael,
rendered by the choir.
'Magniticat," in F, by Tours.

joicing."
The music was Of a high order Of merit.
The choir, a vested body of boys, men and
ladies was unusually full
Bishop Peterkin spoke of the value Of
memor.als-"The art of prolonging the in
fiuence Of right ideas and of perpetuating
true and inspiring impressions" how the
Lords chosen people reared memorials in
the wilderness and how memorials of all
sorts whether of stone or bronze, of oc-
casions or religious services, are highly
important in that they teach the value of
character. He referred to the heroes of
the south, especially mentioning President
Davis, as men whose lives will ever be Of
value as guides and examples because
they were not only men of high civic vir-
tue, but men possessed of the Christian
graces, without which no character can be
complete or fully rounded, which indeed
are the crown and glory OF character. 1t
was an eloquent and patriotic discourse.
Gov. O'Ferrall and his staff, the latter
in uniform, were present at the service.
The body Of the church was occupied
mainly by confederate veterans and Sons
of Veterans in uniform and by daughters
of the confederacy and there were present

arms, and, of course. none were found.
For two days we lay in the harbor, and
on Thursday we set sail with no cargo
and with the proper clearance papers
for Charleston. Before we left the har-
Dor we were lying very near to the rev.
enue cutter Mclean and II the officers of
that vessel wished to examine the Com
modore and its papers, every opportun-
ity was afforded them.
1--WE steamed from the harbor very
slowly, for the machines were not In the
best working order When about two
miles out heard the report of a gun and
saw the Mclean behind us. Bang! went
another, and l ordered the engines stop
ped and we awaited the arrival Of the
pursuer. Bang! went the third and this
time a solid shot whistled by US, falling
not twenty feet from the vessel The
wind of the shot as 1t passed was felt
on the face of every man on deck. If II
had struck us the Commodore would
have been sunk.
"The captain Of the vessel came aboard,
and l asked what meant this outrage?
His reply was that he wanted the vessel
to stop and wanted to examine Its Papers.
He asked If we carried a passenger list
and l told him no He examined my pa
pers, went through the vessel and toubd
everything correct. He then left us and
we continued on to Charleston on a
peaceable voyage"
Capt. Morton said that he would proba-
bly, leave for New York in 4 few days and
that the Commodore would remain in the
harbor
