DEAR BSETEREN: In a pastoral letter addressed to you some time ?since, I requested you, in your public j services, to uso a certain "prayer for ! ullin authority," in place of that of I like char?cter contained in the prayer- j book. My reason for so doing was founded, not so much on my objec? tions to the language of thc old prayer -which objections 1 then pointed out -as upon a desire on my part bi us- j sert the rights of the Church to rega- ! late her worship, in entire indepen- j dence of either civil or military au? thority. lt i:; known that in several i our dioceses, whore forje of arms j had prevailed, som" ?d' our ch archer had been closed, and their ministers | banished, because a certain MM. -ri was omitted in the daily service. not? withstanding its (..mis-ion hud been ordered by the highe.it ecclesiastical j authority known to those dioceses, j Fearing lest, upon the late change of j 0 u political condition, a like intevfe- 1 renee might, be ?.tteumted in 'Li ii >. oes?, I felt it rn; dat;" to set forth, in ; iwivanee, the course ?d'notion which, j in such ouse, it was proper for you to j pursue. 1 accordingly reminded you i that, in all matters of worship, you j wore amenable to no authority but j that of your ecclesiastical superiors; | und that it was your duty to resist, in every becoming manner, the least in- t terference with your religions duties, i from whatever quarter it might come. At the sanie time, in order to know that, ns good churchmen, we acknow- | ledge the rule of those whom Provi.- I dence hus placed over us. I propose for your use u prayer embracing iu its j intercessions all stations and degrees | of men entrusted with th>' govern- ! nient of our country. This prayer, as ! 1 then intimated, was to lie used only ! till further developments should be j made in our political condition, or an j order of our General Council should call for a return to the old prayer. Hieing now convinced that the military authority ar. present ovi r us has no j disposition to? interfere with our ser vices, und wishing to conform, as far j as may be. with the worship of our ; brethren in the more Northern dio- j ceses, I now request that, as soon as rho military rule shall cease to be ex- : ercised over"us, and our State Govern- J mont 11u 11 be re-established in the ex? ercise of her constitutional rights, you will usc thc prayer for the ''Presi? dent of the United States, and all in civil authority," ?is prescribed in the' prayer-book. To use that prayer at present would be ?quivalent to wishing the success and continuance of a domination which, even in its | mildest forms, is repugnant to the spirit of any people. I will take occa? sion here to reply as well as j can to a question which has been frequently asked of me since the late reverse in our political affairs, viz: '"Will the Southern Church return to its former connection with our Northern breth? ren, or will she retain her present re? organization?" No satisfactory answer can be given lo this question until the meeting of our next, general council. But, for my own part, I hesitate not to say that my decided preference is to re? main as weare, tv o separate and in? dependent organizations. Whilst each would have thus its own legislative .lo'iy indr'vx.adcj?s of toe other, both inight, by a mutual exercise of bro? therly love, by a frequent interchange of good offices, by a partial represen? tation in each other's councils, us well as by tho possession of a likedoetrine. discipline and worship, show to tue world that we aro still one Church. This, I am persuaded, would be the surest means of promoting unity und brotherly love between us. But. whatever may be the action of our general conned, wo have reason io be thankful, brothers, that posse-ssed ns we arc of an apostolic ministry, valid [ sacrament anda primitive creed, we have within ourselves every element j neceseary io coustituie a true church, ; to perpetuate il s powers, and to en? title it to th?: affection and veneration of our people. Commending you to the blessings of Hint "without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy," 1 remain, dear brethren, your loving bishop under Christ, W. M. GREEN. ConuMBrs, .Tidyly, I-SOS. J-< I (lie So II Iii lo- ! Ir ai rd. In order If j secure ponce noon the best au ci most permanent basis and linsten the complete restoration of thc machinery of ci vdgovernmen through? out the Southern Stat CK, it is amatb*r of no small importation to the authori ties at Washington, thal tho true sen? timent ol' the Sonthern people should be definitely mad.' known as regards the situation in which tney aro pine .1 by the unsuccessful results oi their revolutionary struggle, and thc rela? tions which they sustain, or desire to sustain, lo Lhc F< ? *. r:i 1 Goverimumt. And it is. perhaps, ol'no less impor? tance to the public tranquility ?nd the great work o? nat! .. i r< conciliation, that fm people of .'.'<.; ti; ami \V: -t should bo put in possession of f.icts instead of rumors, ? to the -val posi? tion uuyl pu ri H i ??S d' their Southern neighbors, anil fairly umh r. e.ml the tone ami temper of t ho S< ?nth? 'rn mind. . At present there is a disastrous ig? norance on ti i: subject among *! .. thc gVoiter ol: lite ?."art. oi' those who assume to foe! the greatest interest in Southern regeneration, and seek to control and shape if, us rhis want ol' knowledge sind consequent lack of real Sympathy may chance to suggest. Xor is the Government itself so thoroughly post.?! upon the mailor that it needs no further enlighten mi ?:? to assist and pr? ?limtc i: - deliberate ms. The Presidi-nl lias mr.ch el .<? to Iwu than may be gathered from the ?eie galions that have waited upon him as represenuitive Southerners, many of whom ure seit' constituted eoiuiiiit?i es, with individual object r > accomplish, unauthorized to speak even for :hcir friends and neighbors, still ? - to reflect the public sentiment o. any considera! ?le coi ist ii it? ?ney. And far less may the author!:?os or people di 'li v from the correspondence of the public press information dun is of value or reliability. Much of il is positively fais*-much of <;:;?.'l lished by fancy or or- jud iee- all ol' it. with scarcely an exception, fra ight with mischief ami evil. It is by this sort of literature timi the publie min?! is ki ;.t in a fer:m tit. and the passions ?>i rie- people fed, with what, in many cases, seems . pertinacity almost inf? nial. isolated instances of disaffection, brutality or cruelty to negroes, ?ari sought out or inventc.il with a trub Satanic iudnfctry, ami reiterated in rh< ears ol'the people and the administra timi as evidence of tho refractory, sui len. rebellions, or <-;?il t "casi nut bl? temper of the Southern States. lt seems to be :i studied pnrpos? willi thest conspirators against re union upon the basis of the Constitu? tion, to villify the South us barbaric irreclaimably depraved, and lit onb i for subj agni ?on. or more especially th< ! spoils that follow in thc train of sub I jngation. I lntln se source?, tho radical oppo j nents oi constitutional restoration ar constantly linding nov? arguments fw forcing H eir dogmas upon tho atten lion of the people and thc C?'Vern ment, and the Government itself i I unavoidably misled to a greater or los ] extent by the sann- pernicious *ystm of misrepresentation that has .left th ! Southern people completely at th mercy of their foes, as il ".yore, au ' virtually helpless. There is in all this a manifest injus? tice. The South, in Bio name of hu? manity, has a right to 1)0 heard. She has attempted to throw off thc na? tional authority, but failing in thc effort, groaning under its terrible eon sequences, ready to renew her old time allegiance, and indisposed to qmbble as to terms which she ctn neither alter nor reject, she only asks that the work of restoration bo speeded, and that she may have some opportunity of vindicating herself from the broadcast aspersions which aro. so industriously disseminated lo blacken the sincerity j of her motives and prolong her mise? ries. For the purpose, then, of giving to I the inhabitants ol' the late Confederate States an opportunity of announcing, i in some general and authoritative way, ? what may bc regarded as un official declaration of sentiment, reflecting ? the dominant opinions of Ho South ern country, wo beg leave to suggest that a convention of del?gales, from all the. seceding States, to be held early in the coming Autumn, or as soon as practiciible, al Nashville, or soi ii other central point, for thc par p< . of placing thc people *>!' these States in their true position before tho 'country and the world, us a pt 'opie ac (piieseent in the rulings ot fortune, submissive to Federal authority, anx? ious to resume the duties of citizen? ship, ?ind assuring President Johnson of their invited purpose to eo-oporafe with him in the re-establishment of law :;nd order and the maintenance oi the national authority.
