COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning, Nov. 18, 1865. Tho General Council of the Protestant j Episcopal Church in the South, nutt No? vember 8, in St. James' Church, Augusta. Present-The Bishops of Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The Bishop of South Carolina had been detained at home by the affliction of his eye. The Bishop of Florida was expected. The House of Deputies was organized by th? election of the Kev. C. C. Pinckney, of South Carolina, to the Presidency, and of the Rev. Wm. Mitchell, of Alabama, as Secretary. After thc adoption of the usual prelimi? nary resolutions for appointment of com? mittees and admission of others than members to the sUting of the Douse, a committee of one from each Diocese was, eu- motion of Dr. Andrews, of Virginia, appointed to consider the relations of the Church in the late Confederate States to the Church in thc United States, and on a message from the House of Bishops, in? forming the House of Deputies that the Presiding Bishop had been appointed a committee to confer with a committee from the Houso of Deputies on said relations, the committee of the House was made, on ?he part of the House, a committee of Con? ference. The joint committee, the next day, brought in the following preamble and I resolutions: Whereas, The several Dioceses, which j wo as Bishops and Deputies repr?sent?t this Council, were impelled by political | 3vents to separate in a legislative capacity i from the Protestant Episcopal Church in ! the United States, and did decide, upon j grounds sanctioned by Holy Scripture and ?gorimiti^e antiquity, to unite toge thee and adopt for their better government and more convenient action a Constitution and j Code of Canons, and did meet, in pursu ance of that Constitution, in General j Council, in November, 1862: and, whereas, this Church so organized, although aris Sig out of political events, was from that I ame a duly organized branch of the one Catholic and Apostolic Church, and may of right so continue to be, or may, through the action of its several Diocesan Councils, form any other Synodieal association; and, whereas, in the opinion of several of the Dioceses which co-operated in the forma? tion of this independent branch of tho (Thnrch Catholic, the political exigency j which caused its arrangement no longer exists; and, whereas, the spirit of chari awhich prevailed in the proceedings of e General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Lue United States, at its late session in Philadelphia, has warm? ly commended itself to tho hearts of this Council; therefore, Reeolced, 1. That, in the judgment of ! this Council, it is perfectly consistent with ! the good faith winch she owes to the j Bishops and Dioceses with which she has been in union since 1862, for any Diocese to decide for herself whether she shall any | longer continue in union with this Council. 2. Thal it be recommended that whor- j ever tho word Confederate occurs in thc | standards of this Church, the word United j be substituted therefor. 3. That inasmuch as the change recom- j mended in the preceding resolutions (being a change in the Prayer Hook) can md be legally completed until the next meeting of this Council, that, under the circum? stances, it should, in the mcaatimc, have She force of law in any Diocese, whenever adopted by its Bishop or Diocesan Council. 4. That (-ach Diocese now in connection with this Council shall be governed by the Constitution and Canons thereof, until* such time as it shall have declared its with? drawal therefrom, as hereinafter provid? ed for. 5. That whenever any Diocese .shall de? termine to withdraw from this Ecclesiasti? cal Confederation, such withdrawal shall be considered an duly accomplished when an official notice, signed by the Bishop and Secretary of such Diocese, shall have been given to the Bishops of the Dioceses remaining in connection with this Council. C. That while we advise the change of the word Confederate to that ol' United where it occurs in the Prayer Book, we recommend that a joint committee be ap? pointed by this Council to enter its solemn protest against those military orders by which churches have been closed anil clergymen ordered to bi' suspended from their functions, because they could not usc certain prayers under the dictation of the military authoritv. STEPHEN EDT.I OTT. Ch'ni'u Com. on part House of Bishops. c. W. ANDREWS, Cu'm'n Com. on [.art House of Deputies. Under this last resolution, a joint com? mittee was appointed, who reported as fol? lows : The Committee to whom was referred the following joint resolution of the General Council, vi/.: Resolved, That while we advise the change of word '?Confederate" to that of "United'' whenever it occurs in the Prayer Book, we recommend that a joint commit? tee be appointed by this Couneil to enter its solemn protest against tims.- military orders liv which churches have been closed and clergymen ordered to be sus? pended fro n their functions, because they could not use certain prayers tinder the dictation of militan, authority do r? spectfullv report, that Whereas, Tho Bishop of Alabama was elected um! coi,si 'ern ted under thu Consti? tution and (.'anons of tie- Protestant Epis? copal ('burch in the Confederate .staten, and never has been, nor is now a Bishop of the ('burch in the United States, nor can be no m the judgment of thal Church, as reccHih expressed in iii? case, unless ami until he shall hav< made the required promise of conformity lo the Constitution ?nd ' lanolin thereof, and Whereas, For this reason he held that he was under no ecclesiastical obligation t., o.ii th? pray et appointed in thc Prayer Book of said Church for the President of tho United States, and all others in civil authority; and Whereas, The independence of tho Church, in matters purely spiritual, is held to be of Divine authority, and has been the duct rino of thc Church from the foun? dation of Christianity! and is at this day conceded universally hy the powers of this world, wherever the Church has been true to itself. Therefore, we, the members of this Coun? cil do, in our own behalf, and in behalf of the Christian Church throughout the world, solemnly protest against the order issued September 20th, 15G3, from tho Headquarters of the department of Ala? bama, that the Bishop and Clergy of that Diocese be suspended from their functions and forbidden to preach or perform Divine service, and that their places of worship he closed, and against all and every secular interference with ecclesiastical affairs, as a violation of liberty of conscience, as gua? ranteed bv the Constitution of tho United States. STEPHEN ELLIOTT, Ch'ni'n Com. on part House of Bishops. PAUL TRAPEER, Ch'm'n Com. on part House of Clerical and Lay Deputies. Both those reports were adopted unani? mously in both houses. After an earnest and affectionate address to tho House of Deputies, from the Presid? ing Bishop, the Council adjourned, to meet three years hence in Charleston. Gin. D. II. Hill. MESSRS. EDITOUS: Presuming that the authorities will promptly re-open the South Carolina College to the youth of the State, I take thc liberty of suggesting Gen. D. H. Hill as a suitable man for tho vacant Ma? thematical Chair. G JU. H. is a native South Carolinian, and a man whom his State has, in former years, delighted to honor for fidelity and success in other fields of labor. The Legislature paid him a hand? some ainl worthy tribute for gallantry in tho Mexican war, and the State can but bo proud of the laurels lie has recently won, and tho name he has illustrated upon every battle-field where ho has met the foe. from Bethel to Petersburg. But whatever success and merit the General may justly claim in the annals of war, none who know bira would assign him less eminence in the arts of peace. Besides an authorship in religious literature, wdiich has secured commendation from the highest American authorities-and even, to some extent, a European reputation-I will men? tion what is much more to my present pur? pose, that he is the author of tho most philosophical and complete text-book on algebra anywdicre to be found in this coun? try. Add to all this that he is a practical teacher, who has filled the Mathematical Chair in several colleges of the South, and that bc is an earnest, working ieachor, who has never failed to impart his enthusiasm to Iiis classes, and nothing moro could be said to commend him to the Trustees of the College. The fact that tren. Hill bas been thrown out of business by the war and is now unemployed, makes it probable that such an appointment would suit his necessities, as it would, no doubt, suit his tastes. A FRIEND TO THE COLLEGE. South Carolina Rodcenifd. South Carolina, according to thc only inference which we can draw from a some? what opaque Columbia telegram, has signalized herself, and given a striking illustration of the wondrous moral revo? lutions and mutations resultant from our late war, by being the first of the States lately in rebellion to accede to that cardinal prerequisite of President Johnson's to the restoration of Union fellowship contained in the adoption of the amendment to the National Constitution abolishing and for? ever prohibiting slaverv throughout the country. The despatch alluded to an? nounces that the constitutional amend? ment was yesterday ratified iii both houses of the South Carolina Legislature, with very little opposition. South Carolina has thus very sensibly and gracefully, without unnecessary delay, taken a step which will enable her to be represented in the next Congress, and the avoidance of which would most assuredly have closed the doors of the National Capitol against her, since it will be remembered that the Presi? dent has heretofore officially informed her Provisional Governor, as well as the North Carolina delegates who visited him on last Friday, that the adoption by their Legisla? turen of the slavery prohibition amend? ment was a necessary preliminary to the admission of the Southern States to their former position in the Union. Dy this action of the Palmetto State urn now rendered secure the making of this amendment a portion of tin- supreme law of th?! republic, and the rendering of our great and glorious country, from its centre to itsutmnst limits, most emphatically and without the shadow of a proviso, "the land of the free." There are now altogether thirty-seven States in the Union, thc ratifi? cation liv tiie Legislatures of thief-fourths, or twenty-eight, of which is necessary to . make the amendment a part of the Na? tional Constitution. In twenty-live Legis? latures it lois now bren adopted, and in ? three tots been rejected; but one at h ast of : the hitler New Jersey- was secured by ! the late election for its ratification this j winter, aad it will pass in ?he Legislatures of California and Oregon at their next ses ; sion. These will complete tho requisite I number ol' twenty-eight. The following is a hst of tho States which have alopied the amendment, with the date of adoption: Illinois.

Tho Legislatures of the following States have rejected it: Delaware, February 9; Kentucky, February 23; New Jersey, March I. .X> ,c Vork Herald, lit/,. Foreign. New?. We extract the following foreign item? I from the New York Herald, of the 14th inst.: The (. . .adian steamship Belgian, from Liverpool. November 2, via Londonderry bd, passed Father Point yesterday at half- i past fou: P. M., en route" to Quebec. ?B? j advices are one day later than those of the j Oitv of Washington. The British Parliament has been further prorogued until the 2:fd of November. Two very considerable tires had taken place in London. The Hist occurred at the ?St. Catharine's Docks on the 28th, and the loss, it was feared, would reach ?10,000 sterling. Tho second took place on the 30th ult., at Beale's wharf. Tooley street. The warehouse destroyed contained eight tloors, with vaults in the basement, and had a frontage on the Thames of one hundred and lifty feet. The loss of pro? perty was rather heavy, especially in teas; but the g/O'l* were protected by large in? surances. An immense warehouse, ad? joining the wharf, containing 58,000 chests of tea, narrowly escaped. The lire pene? trated tho building, but by extraordinary exertions it was prevented from spreading. The amount of property destroyed was es? timated at ?180,000 sterling. A terrible explosion occurred at Nine ? Elms on thc :tl*t ult., at the works of the ; London (Jas Company. Six persons wen? j killed ami forty to tiffy seriously injured. 1 In connection with the discovery of thc ! murdered body of a man in the hold of a New York ship, a strange circumstance has i occurred. Since the depositions taken in j the ease were sent to the United States, I the American Consul has applied for the clothes found near the body, and being re- ' ferred to the parish authorities, was told that nothing was known of them. Search having been made in Liverpool, the trous? ers and boots were found in an old clothes : shop, whet.: they had been sold by a person ? whose name is not mentioned, but the re- j maindcr are yet undiscovered, and this will probably'lead to great difficulty in j identifying the deceased or the detection of his murderer. FRANCK AND MEXICO. The Paris correspondent of the Morning I Post says: The public were some time ago prepared for hearing tba', the French Go? vernment desire1 to withdraw the French flag from the new Mexican Empire; always providing that such a step can be taken without endangering tiie throne and (lo- ! vcrnment of Maximilian. Such intentions have of late assumed a more decided cha ractcr. The Emperor of Mexico wiR recruit ; more largely in Austria and Belgium, and it is proposed to permit French officers and men to take the oath of allegiance to the crown of Mexico, if inclined to do so. In time, therefore, the Emperor Maximilian will rind himself surrounded by forces en? tirely under his own llag. France will have performed au expensive duty. It is scarcely to be supposed that any Government of thc United States could wish to replace such a state of things by promoting the return of the past republican confusion, anarchy and brigandage. In course of time, public feeling in Amcrii i may decide on acknow? ledging the liberal sovereign Government now laboring to bring Mexico up to the civilization and progress of our age. The Paris correspondent of the Times savs: lt is generally reported in Paris that the French army in Mexico will be withdrawn by instalments, and that by August or Soptuinber next year, the whole will have returned to Franc?. This resolution is said to be adopted not only from a desire to afford no reasonable ground of com? plaint to the United States, but also on economic grounds. STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT 1'AI.MEIiSl'oN's ORA VE. The Manchester Guardian says: lt is stated that when the Dean of Westminster pronounced the words, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes,'" over the grjive of Lord Palmerston, the chief mourner, as a last precious offering to the dead, threw into the grave several diamond and gobi rings. Another account states that the vault was so constructed that it would not permit of the throwing in of any earth at the most solemn portion of the "funeral service. This novelty attracted a great deal of notice, and was received with various degrees of approbation. To some it appeared a great improvement, as taking away all the earthy hideousness of burial; but others thought that the traditional solemnity of the gravo suffered when the dread words '"ashes to ashes, dust to dust,'" are not accompanied by the usual symbolic sprinkling of earth on tlie coffin. "The chief mourner respond? ed to the words by casting several valuable rings into the grave. FRANCE. The Opinion Nationale publishes a cor? respondence from Oran, which states that the Algerian insurgents -5i>,CHK? strong - were in possession of the whole South of the Tell Mountains. A ship named tho Clara, commanded by one Nicolo Gennaro, and sailing under English eiilet s, was reported to have landed large quantities of arms and ammunition purchased at Gibralter for account ?d' the insurgents, every two or three weeks, on the coast of Morocco, m ar the base of the Bcni-Gnassen Mountains, whence they were transported by caravan to the interior. lt was expected that at least one French vessel-of-war would be sent to watch thc coast of Morocco, as the reluis were evi? dently being furnished with supplies in that quarter. A reduction of 30,0*10,000 francs in the army and navy estimates is saul io have been decided upon. Count Bismark was expected to arrive in Paris in thceour.se of a few days. ITA I.V. The elections in Italy had been com ' pleted, and tin returns showed a large majority for thc Government. Among tin elected'to the new Chamber of Deputiei were Ricasoli, Garibaldi, Bixio and Katazz alni other celebrities. AtTSTRl \. The Government had issued an officia intimation, which indicates a fixed r?solu lion to adopt, as far as possible, a frei trade policy. HOM!:. General Kanzler had been appointe) Minister of War in the place of M. De Mc (rude, who, it was officially announced, h ai I been relieved of his functions on account o bad health. Two French frigates had arrived at Civit Vecchia, for the purpose of embarking portion of the French army now in the Roman States. This commences the evacu? ation. The Mexican delegation had left Rome. Washington \tw* mid Rumors. It is ?aid that Gen. Sickles, who, it wiF* i>e recollected, figured prominently in the Barton Key affair in Washington, is to re? lieve Gen. Gillmorc at Charleston. Ac? cording to thc correspondent of thc Herald, thc Government wanted a man there of "enlarged and liberal conception." Kilpatrick, the famous raider, who has been appointed Minister to Chili, is said to bc "instructed by the Secretary of State to substantially advocate thc Monroe doctrine abroad." Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, is in Washington, asldng for the payment of more war claims to Massachusetts. Gen. Butler has rented a house in Wash? ington, occupied for some years by the British Minister, and now owned "by a wealthy colored man, named Albert Ree. The Farragut Court Martial, on Satur? day, heard several .fitnesses in defence of Commodore Craven. Acting Ensign Ber? nard C. McGill testified that from what ho had heard frcm the Spanish officers, thc rebel ram Stonewall was too formidable to attack withom instant destruction to the assailing vessel. Old Col. DcRusSV, who has been iii ..ie United States army hali a century, has been brevetted a brigadier. Capt. Wirz, in his incomplete diary, vider date of October 1, says th>it a mau was at that time placed in "his cell to pre? vent any attempt he might make to take his own life, but the man fell asleep. He writes that the reason why he did not put an end to his existence, was because weat ho suffered was the will of God, and, in the second place, he owed it to himself, his family, his relatives, and to tho ?vorld at large, to prove his innocence. An officer in the obi army, who went South and joined the rebellion at thc out? break, called upon the President and asked for pardon. The President informed him that he had not yet pardoned ar. officer who had gone over to thc South and taken up arms against the Non ii. He did not koo-., what he might do in the future, but for the present he held their cases under advisement. Within a couple of days, the President has been in receipt of quite lengthy tele? grams from distinguished radical-', who will figure in tho next Congress, beseech? ing him to change his reconstruction policy before the meeting of that body, declaring at the same time that it has proved a failure. One of these telegrams is from a very prominent source, and is indicative of the radical programme at the coming session. Tho President, it is understood, bas replied to none of these despatches. Chief Justice Chase, it is said, complaints that he has been misrepresented in the pub? lication of the synopsis of the correspon? dence between the President and himself relative to the trial of Jefferson Davis, and it is not improbable that full copies of the correspondence will bc laid before the public. Tho effects of the late Ilenrv Wirz were yesterday afternoon sent to his wife, in Kentucky, by his counsel, Mr. Schade. They consisied of a book entitled "Medi? tations on Rife and its Religious Duties," with this inscription on the lly-leaf: To my dear children. Susan and Cornelia, from their father, H. Wirz. Washington, D. C., November Kl, 1865." Next was a copy of the New Testament, which con? tained the following inscription: "Novem? ber 10, 1865, to Cora, from her father, H. Wirz." Also, a volume entitled, " A Kempis. A Treatise on Christ. To my dearest child, ('ora, from her father. Washington, November 10, 1865." There was also a Bible given to Wirz, cu the fly? leaf of which was this inseriptioi.? "Pre? sented to Carroll Prison, room twenty nine, for the use of the pristine: o Not to be taken from the prison. Washington, D. C., December 18, 1864. "Search tho Scriptures." Under this Wirz had written as follows, "My dear wife, this Bible I read to where you see the marks, where 1 left oft' reading. God bless you. Keep this Bible to remember me. li. Wirz, Novem? ber 10, 1S03." In the package there wero also two letters, one addressed to his wife, and one to his father, Abraham Wirz, who was living when his son left Switzerland. The Hon. (?) A. H. H. Dawson, a native of Kentucky, lint a citizen of Georgia, who made speeches in the South during the war, in behalf of the Kentuckians in the Confederate army, denouncing tho "Yan? kees" and lauding the Confederates in thc most eloquent manner, is now making speeches in Boston, in which he is pander? ing to Massachusetts prejudices by de? nouncing secession as tho work of cow? ards and scoundrels." This man. Dawson, sought office at tho hands of thc Confede? rate authorities with a degree of energy and diligence almost unapproachable; hut he failed in his schemes of ambition, and he now goes to Huston and abuses the people amongst whom he was "bred and born," and who tilled his pockets with con? tributions fas thev thmght) for the Ken? tucky soldiers. Gov. Brownlow and Col. Maynard were robbed on tin: Franklin pike on the 10th inst., some ten miles from Nashville. Thev wire driving carelessly along the roaih when three highwaymen suddenly presented themselves. One seized the horse, while the others presented pistols to their heads ami demanded their money. As no choice was lett, Gov. Brownlow hand? ed over ?ive hundred dollars and his watch. They were then permitted to proceed. LATEST FASHION.-The latest whim of fashion in Europe is for ladies to increase the height of the forehead by artificial means. The foreign papers have a plente? ous supply of advertisements of waters tor the purpose of destroying the hair mi the forehead at once and forever. The less ex? pert, or more economical, shave, ami have a hideous blue mark, like the result of a razor over a rough beard. Waliaee W.
