FoRrY-TIvE years ago last night
February 10, 1862, the Gazette build

lessly burned by federal soldiers who
then occupied and infested the city and
Surrounding country. The day before
CSuodAy) four army officers, in full uni
form, attended ST. Paul's Church in the
morning and during the services, III
stentorian tones, demanded that the
PRAYER for the President Of the United
States tc read. Oher soldiers were
scattered through the church. Rev. }.
Kinney Stewart, who vas conducting the
services, ignored the demand, and pro-
coded with the prayers. The officers,
thereupon, left their seats, rushed to the
chancel aud Selling the clergyman, while
10 was yet upon lis kneep, dragged him
down the centre aisle, and turning him
over to a guard marched him to the pro
v0st marsha's Office.
The occurrence caused wild scene IN
the church and there we're hand ID hand
conflicts between some members OF the
congregation and the soldiers, a lady
striking one of the latter, who had hold
of Mr. Stewart, full in the face with a
PRAYER book. la the meantime, Rev.

pcd from his pulpit in the Second Pres

the provost marshals Office The dis
graceful proceedings on the part Of the
soldieiy caused intense excitemt mt and
much indignation throughout the city.
The next evening the Gazette, bold as 1t
always has been and always will he in
maintaining the right, criticised the
dastardly conduct Of the officers and SOL
diers in a true version Of the outrageous
affair which it published. That night
men Of the Eighth Illinois Cavalry,
