mssss*??w?BBS! The Abbeville Bulletiav .A-bbeville, S. O. Thursday, August 24,1865. TXSIN830P&I. OHUECH IN ALABAMA ? To the Cltrgy anJ Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Cburch in tho Diocese of Alabama: . w Oo the 80th day of May Inst I addressed a briof ciroular to the clergy, suggesting ,the principles whiob, in ray judgment, should govern ibera ia their official conduct under the predont condition of affairs. 1 deem it advisable at this time 19 set.forih, in a more formal and public "manner, a somewhat expanded statement of the .views contained in the circular referred to. ine uipso 01 me v/onieueraie govern went docs not neccssanly 'involve the disorganization of the general council of the church within the limits of that government. The nationality of a church is a matter purely conventional, and oi human arrungomcnt. It is assuredly possible for two church organizations to exibt under one common civil government, without, .violating the unity of the church. There is an essential difference between the unity of branches of'the church, and their union us ono legislative body. For example, tho church in England is in perfoct unity with* the church in the United States; br.t there h no legislative union between these churches. Again, (and this ia a case moro .in point,) tho churph in Scotland i3 in umty w i!h tliO church in E-igland, and vet they exist as distinct organizitions, under i a civil government. Cons* ly no charge of schism ran jusithe church in the southern State . ... ?j site should *ee fit ta perpetuate herself -ough a separate organizition. She does not 'therebj' necessarily depart from tho uuity of the church in doctiine, discipline or order. Therefore, it mav or mav nnf na circumstances may indicate, be advisable and expedient to dissolve the general council. Tins i3 a question for futuro ccilesias , tic&l determination. As to the changes, in tho language of reitaio prayers, wl?ich are tnade necessary by lale pohth-al events, I observe, tlr.t _iho lapse of the confederate government requires, of necessity, tlio "omission of the "prayers for tho President of the Confederate States and all in civil authority." Tho immediate substitution of another form of prayer does not follow of tbe same necessity, as will appear from the following considerations." To pray for all in authority is unquestionably a duty, hut a duly of a religious, and not of a political origin and obligation. The mode of dUcharginsr that duty mu-t be determined Hy tlio proper ecclesiastical authority. Consequently, any attempt on the part of a civil or military power to dictate to the church iu this mutter cannot but be regnrded as unauthorized and intra ire. CertMHl tiiftts of lovnliv 4ini.'n hnon #8Ulil:shed*by authority, and tliey who faithfully conformed to these test* have .fulfilled the requirements of tho lr.w, am.^, have right, in equity and under the eon--"1 stitutiou of the country, to manage their eccle&iaitiual aff;?irs according to their own discretion. The church has due regard to i's established authority,and*it u not to be presumed regand'esa of her eacrud oblige ,'tions. She nm*<t be left free and untratn.J l j? -r ? <?v?cu ?? uoi ic^iLiauiLtj spuoro 01 Action. Any attempt to di? tate Io her can only stive to retard the action which, in pursu0 mice of her obligations to God antf-to her wn tradition?, she will unquestionably take at the proper time and in the proper niAnncr. * NpWi Jthe church in'-this country has established a form.of prayer for the'President and all in nivil miflinrifw T4if? Ion* - jjuago of that prayer was selected with careful reference to the subject of praver, "all civil authority," and she desires for jthat authoiity prosperity and long continuance. No one can well be expected to desire a long continuance of military rule. Tl r .1 --1 r * a iiciciui C| iuo ^irnjrcr 10 Hiiogeuier. inappropriate and inapplicable to tbe prevent condition of thing*, when no civil authori ty exists in the exercise of.its functions. > Hence, aa I remarked in the circular, "we way yield a true allugiance to, and sin-, cerelv pray for grace, wisdom and understanding in behalf of a government founded upon force, while at the same time we could not in good coneoience aek for its continuance, propenty, &c. When the civil authority shall be restored, it will be eminently proper for tlie church to resume the ase of that form of prayer which baa been established by the. highest ecclesiastical authoilties, nnd which has for many years convoluted a partof Iter liturgy. . m. mo amiro mat in" iimes past i nave expressed a strong desire "that the regular and ordinary forms of publio worship should be so entirely Catbulic in character M to be adapted to..all the exigencies of Jtin;e, place and circumstances," and that I urged this matter upon*the attention otouf * dioceaan council in 1861, with a' view to action at jU?e.?B?roachini? ffene?V ocpres-eJ, but it is not for trie, m my individual capacity, to iutrodoce L into lire liturgy any other-form of *orda (lino that which the church ia }ie*> collective *nd legislative ca^gli^h|K mnea.

Our transatlantic friends will be anxious to know how "reconstruction is being effected peaceably and harmoniously ; how we are adding to our weulth, our population, our secutity ; how our cities are growing, how new States are being formed, how many millions of gold we are producing every month, and what surplus cotton and cereals we are ready to dispose of to foreign nations. And so, too.it will be as anxiously inquired " when the Monroe doctrine is to be putin force and the Austrian Prime sont bark to bis own country.
