It baa ended in liia taking poaaeaeion of all the Methodiat Churches in tbe city and supplying the pastorates liia order from the Secretary -of War was to take charge of all Churches "not supplied by loyal pastors and appointed by Loyal Bishops." Of course, this whs com plied with by trustees, etc. * * * I never had such strange emotions as on Sabbath. 24th, when, for the first lime in my lila, i was without freadom to worship (-rod. No other day of my life ever equalled it for unutterable siulness ? Surely we are touching on some of the prophetic times of the B;b!e. Thie Bishop Aiues is Irom Indiana.? As we had news about six weeks .-.go, he "occupied and possessed" in likft manners the Church at Memphis, ^acting a faith ful pastor to make room for a reverend gentleman from Indianapolis. Doubtless tba Churches of VickxLurg, Natchez and Baton notige and intermediate points bar* been attended to ais..; for as none of otfr Bishops are "loyal" in the sense of this eclesiastie military commission, none of tbeir appointment* may stand before iL In analogy with the purpose of the United States to reduce the Confederate Statee to the status of territories, the M. K. Church, North, is to reduce the M. E Church, South, to the status of missions. Bishop Ames has unbluehingly begun the work. He is accompanied by one Dr. Harris"of Ohio, their As-isUm Mis aionary Secretary. After Southern Methodism, the head and front of offenders against aboliHon dom, has been disposed of, the other Cburcbee will Lave their turn*. Dr. Breckinridge would mHke a good lool for bringing Southern Presbytenant under the yoke; Bishop Potter of Pennsyl enia, Southern KpiscopaliHn*; our Bap. list brethren will not lack a persecutor abd confiecator; and ho the others.
