Bishop Greet? io thc Episcopal Church
itt mississippi'.
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.

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

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.
