That able and conservative journal, the Baltimore Gazette, thus speaks of the Episcopal General Convention : The unity of the church was rc stoi-ed. and every effort was made to make the record perfect. The Bishop of Maryland and several others, who, during the past four years, had shown extreme bitterness towards their Southern brethren, were among the most earnest in their efforts to smooth away all difficulties ; and Mr. William Welsh, who had been an earnest ad? vocate of fire and sword, and was wont to praise God after his fashion by singing "The Star Spangled Ban? ner" in church, confessed that he had been crazy during the war, but had now returned to his senses. But all this is not satisfactory to the few radicals of the Convention, who do not think it a good thing to dwell in unity with their brethren. Their fanatical dispositions demand the humiliation of the Southern cler? gymen, and, though repeatedly re? buked, they return with their fire? brands and seem determined to stir up strife in a peaceful Church. The House of Bishops, in their exercise of au undoubted right, appointed Tuesday last as "a day of thanksgiv? ing and prayer for the return of peace and thc restoration of the unity of the Church." This was all that was deemed necessary. One of the mal? contents, however, offered a sort of amendment, extending the thanks? giving to the restoration of Federal authority and the abolition of slavery. This was at once tabled by a large vote; but determined not to be thwart? ed in this manner, a notice was pub? lished in the papers by thc radicals, informing the public that there would be on "Tuesday evening, at the Church of the Epiphany, as an ap? propriate continuation of the services of the morning, a further thanksgiv? ing service, for the re-establishment of the national authority over the whole country, and for the removal of that great occasion of national dissension and estrangement to which our late troubles were due." On Tuesday evening, accordingly, a large audience assembled, not to render thanks, but to talk politics. Prayers were read and a hymn was sung; after which Bishop McDvaine made a speech. He was followed by Mr. Horace Binney, Jr., who explained and de? fended the resolutions offered by him on Saturday, which were voted down; after which Dr. Vinton praised God that slavery had been crushed out by force; and Bishop Burgess, of Maine, who closed, insisted that the negroes should be recognized as being on a level with those who were once their masters. And so ended the "continu? ation" of the morning services. It is very evident, from the temper exhibited by these radicals, that while the apparent difficulty which threat? ened the unity of the Church has been removed, a much mor? serious one exists, which threatens to disturb it? peace. There are clergymen in the North, pretending to the title of Christians, who preach the doctrines of Beecher and the gospel of Brown? low. There are laymen who talk about loyalty and Christianity as if they were one, and who, if they had their own way, would, no doubt, dis? pose of rebels as Torquemada did of heretics. Such people are simply a disgrace to thc religion they profess, and should at least have better taste, if not sense, than to attempt to stir up strife and discord in a church where the harmony appears so perfect. The steamers Rhode. Island and. Hor? net sailed on the 23d for Havana, to convoy the Confederate ram Stonewall to the' Washington Navy Yard. Beaufort Property For the information of our refugee friends in the up-country, we extinct the following from the Charleston Neics: j TAY have received from Mr. M. P. I O'Connor who LOR recently returned \ from a visit to the town of Beaufort, important information with respect to property in that locality, which will be interesting to many of our readers. After tho occupation of the town by the United States forces, the town was re-surveyed and divided oft' into blocks-thc lots biiug designated upon the new plat by letters. Pur? suant to the Act;; of Congress, ap? proved June 7th, 1862. mid February 6th, 1863, levying a tax upon lands in insurrectionary districts, the United States Tax Commissioners offered for sale, in the early part of the fall of 1863, the whole of the town, and announced at the sale that the Govern? ment would 1 my in the property, to be used for militan* purposes. This declaration by "the Commissioners shut out all competition at the sale, and the most of the town was bought in by the Government. Subsequently, in 1864, and at various times since, the most of the town property was \ resold by the Commissioners to third parties, upon the terms: one-fourth cash, the balance upon a credit of three years. Some lots, however, were reserved by the Government for military uses, and Mr. O'Connor was told that among these were the houses and lots of Paul Hamilton, Edgar Fripp, Edward Means, John John-1 ston, Joseph Johnson, Robert W. Barnwell, B. B. Sams, L. R. Sams, T. R. S. Elliott, John M. Yerdier, Lawrence Fripp, D. Mann, B. W. Barnwell, Osborn Barnwell, Joseph Hazel, Cockroft and John Murray. These lots, with others not men? tioned, have been advertised in the Nexo South to be sold by Government on the 6th of next December. Unless the sale is stopped, these, like the rest of the town property previously conveyed, will pass into the hands of third parties and speculators. The order for this sale should be at once countermanded, and those interested should lose no time in addressing a petition to the President to interilict . the sole, and advising Mr. Treseot, the State Commissioner at Washing? ton, to take measures to have it stop? ped. Grave and serious injustice has already been done those of our citi j zens from Beaufort and its vicinity ? in the proceedings which have been j heretofore taken; and every effort j should be made to call the subject to j the attention of the Government, that the injuries of the past may be reme? died and future evils prevented. I Every subsequent transfer of this property between third parties after j it passes out of the hands of the Go I vernment, will embarrass the claim? ants, as well as the Government, in affording restitution. We have no doubt but a just, impartial, and mag? nanimous administration will do eqmd justice as between all citizens, and that in due time those who have been divested of their estates will be re? stored to the possession and full en? joyment of them. THE FREEDMEN TO GO TO WORK. An important circular has been issued from the Freedmen's Bureau in New Orleans, regulating the duties of thc negroes towards their employers.
