general'tendency to groveling amuse-

?rovide means for innocent recEeatiOn.
Vould that some leading spirit would
appear and teach us how to blend so-
ciaoleness ivith usefulness ! r
In a commercial city like this, where
the entiie faculties and energies lire
absorbed in business, there is great
danger that money may become the
end and finality of life, instead of a
means thereto. These pursuits also
tend to make us selfish, suspicious,
and overreaching; freezing up the no-
bler and fiuer susceptibilities of our
nature; if not balanced by the culti-
vation qf the social .element;
When we consider the enjoyments
aUd amusements in vogue, there is
■very little but what is questionable;
judging them by the resulte-rtho cri-
teria of the Great Teacher—as the de-
velopment of principle. Then, in or-
der that recreation may be beneficial
it must harmonize with right and
truth. And as man is a companiona-
ble being, if there is not such society
as should be, he will accept that
which is obtainable. ■'
In other-cities there are reading and
locbnrin^ rortlns-^music, both voCal
and ihati'iimentai. Why not here ?
The singers and speakers can be. com-
manded. Why, then, not use those
means of social improvement, free
fl'ofn the tainted atmosphere of vice ?
Many a yfwtb, with noble impulses,
has'been shipwrecked on the shoals of
temptation, and many moire will be
stranded if there be no improvement

1 Nashville, Teun., Dec. 22,1865.
Oenotal Orders No.. 40.1 •' ;
Armed resistance to the authority
of the United .States having been put
down, the President, on the 29th day
of May hist, issued his: proclamation
of amnesty, declaring that armed re-
sistance having ceased in all quarters,-
he invited those lately in rebellion to
reconstruct and restore civil author-
ity, thus proclaiming tlie magnanim-
ity of our Government towards all,
no matter how ciitaiunl or how de-
serving of p&nisliiiioiit. Alarmed at
this imminent and impending peril to
the cause iu which he had embarked
With all liu heart and mind, and de-
siring to cheek, if possible, the spread
of popular admiration and grateful
appreciation of the inagnanimouk pol-
icy of the President iii his efforts to
bring the peofVle of the United States
buck to their former friendly and na-
tional relatiqnsono witlianotJier.iin in-
dividual styling himself Bishop of Ala-
baiiia, forgetting hisinissiou to preach
peace on earth and good will towards
men, and being animated with the
same spirit which through temptation
beguiled the mother of nie.u to tin;
commission 'of the lirst'sin—thereby
entailing eternal toil and trouble oh
earth—issued from behind the shield,
of lib oiHce his manifesto of the 2Dth
yf June last, to <lie clergy of the Epis-
copal ChuVeh of Alabitina, directing
them to omit the usual and customary
prayer for tiie President of' the,United
States and all others in authority un-
til the troops of the United States iii)d
been removed from the limits of Ala-
boma ; cunningly justifying this trea-
sonable course, by plausibly present-
ing to the minds of the people that
civil authority not having yet been
restored in Alabama, there was no oc-
casion for the use of said prayer, as
such prayer was intended tor the civil ■
authority alone, and as the military
was the only authority in Alabama,
it was manifestly imprdper to pray for
the continuance of military rule. This
man, in his position of a teacher of
religion, charity, and good fellowship
,with lus brothers; whose paramount
duty as such should have been char-
acterized by frankness %nd fVecdom
from all ^mining, thus took advantage
of the sanctity of Jus position, to mis-
load the lujnds of those who naturally
regarded him as a teacher in whom
they could trust, and attempted to
lead them back into the labyrinth of
treason, , For this covert and cunning,
act he was deprived of the privileges
of citlzenjhipt in far as the right to
offlcii'te as a minister of" the Gospel,
beoniiRe it wit* evident he could not
be lnisU^l to officiate and confine his
teachings to mattersof religion alone—
in Fact, ^liat ieligiohs matters wens
"but a secondary consideration in Ins
mind, hft having taken all eiwly op-
portunity to MLUvf i t the church to the
justitu.alion and dissemination of his
treasonable sentiments.
As it Is, however, manifest'that so
fiir from entertaining the same polit-
ical viows as Bishop Wilnnvr, the.
people of Alabama arC honestly ea-

ty in that S'tato, in conformity with

e have no occasion to call the at-
tention of out readers to the "Gene-
ral Ofdert NO. 40,"! from the Milittury
Headquarters.at Nashville. It will
be read fast enough, and it will bo re-
membered long. "BUI An)" tells us
in one of his unique lettera that "Sher-
man's catterpillars took so many 'lib-
erties" when they swarmed . through
his section of Georgia,, that the peo-
)lo there had "very few liberties
eft.' , " j
Now Gen. Thomas has taken such
extraordinary liberties witn theeocie-
" deal rights of . Bishop Wilmer and
i people of liis diocese, that ' we do
; feel at liberty 'to discourse on his
Conflict between the " Sword , and
Gown," iu a style at all worthy of the
text An, habitual profane swearer,
who, under an extraordinary provo-
cation didn't, swear an oath, was ask-
ed how it happened. He replied that
'he couldn't begin to do justice to the
subject." We are dumb foy the Barae
reason, and for another, to-wit: That
we are not yet sufficiently " recon-
structed " to be able to hold polemics
with a gentleman who weays a sword
and who has the power to make his
bayonets do his thinking. We shall
have to turn the commentary over to
some of those New York {tapers that
enjoy the precious privilege of being
able to speak their minds "light out
in meeting." We must-say \vo would
like to see our good Bishop turned
loose, with his Virginia blood up, and
his noble intellect all ablaze, in a re-
ply to this military, moral and reli-
gious discourse of Gen. Thomas. We
think the " Gown " wOuhl make the
fur fly even from the corselet. . As to
iSie facts of the case, if the General
has condoned the Bishop's offence on
the ''ground that his people have dis-
approved of his couike—the' order to
remove the interdict on the churcli
has no bottom to stand upon.
The IJishpp has been standing up
for a pnnclple—the principle of the
perfect mdtependeuce of 'the Christian

The General will not be able to per-
suade one living being in Alabama
(not an imported radical) that Bibhop
Wilmer was influenced by the sedi-
tious and treasonable motives ascribed
to him in his order. We do not pre-
tend to douut that General Thomas
thinks so, but he ia mistaken nnd has
been misinformed. Bishop Wilmer is
not only an eminent divine, but he is
" one of Nature's noblemen"—a geti-
tlonian of the old Virginia school ;
aud when he took the oatli of allegi-
ance to the Govern m en tot' the United
States ho meant to keep it like an
honest.man, and has so kept it. "It
was no part of that obligation binding
on him as tlie bishop of a church to.
submit to tlie interference of the mili-
tary power with his eccleijiasticul func-
tions and duties. Nay, the oath to
support the Constitution of the Uni-
ted States commanded him to resist
such interference, becausedt violated
the Constitution its well as his Epis-
copal r.ghts.
Hut it yet remains to be explained
why the whole clergy ami laity of this
Chitrtb in Alabama were made to suf-
fer for the Bishop's single nvt.,i And
why, any more now than then, is the
Bishop allowed to resume his suspen-
ded duties ? Is he -repentant t lias

that, the order came from Washing-1
toii. ft was a phtiik in the President's
reconstruction platform, and iu: or-
dered it to bo put down. We conclude
that history will write, that in this
Contest between the sword and the
gown, the gown has proved the bet-
ter rcconstriictionist. harmonist and
unionist of the two.

-recent General ConveutW ot
Episcopal Church, held in Philadel
phia:
"Wove all men, good Bishop, like-
mipded withtyourself, we might havo
no hesitation in this matter, but cer-
tain painful things are brought, to our
ears. One party proposes "to keep
the Southern churchmen in the cold"
—"to put the rebels tupon stools of
repentance," etc, We see in tho
Journal of 1802 certain resolutions
proposed, pronouncing certain wor-
thy bishops "scliismatical," and pro-
claiming the jurisdiction of a certain
bishop "null and vohl." True, the
resolutions 'were not adopted, but
they indicate thn temper of a'part of
that body; add we have no means of
ascertaining the complexion of the
noxt general convention. Fanaticism
grows fa^t in tlie hour of triumph.
* * * The Southern deputies them-
selves may very naturally bo suppos-
ed to have some sentiment in this mat-
ter. Their sons and brothers lie in
bloody graves—their lands are deso-
late, and strangers devour it in tlioir
presence—the emancipated slaves gar-
rison their cities—tlioy live them-
selves, ns yet., under the ban—their
representative mail, no guiltier than
themselves, is in bonds, and may have
to di" an ignominious death. The i
whole Southern people, tnemf'ore, are
at this moment awaiting trial in the
person' of then* representative head—
they are denounced'as felons; and a
shuekled press is forbidden to speak a;
word of vindication or remonstrauce.
Your own heart, good Bishop, will
tell you that men in such a condition
are in no mood to foin in jubilation
over a restoration which is sealed by
their degradation. Tlie peace, for
which Te JJeuma vvilL be chanted, is
purchased by the loss Of tlieif' Inheri-
tance. and arc now witting'in tho deep
valley of humiliation.!. " , • •
The meu uf the South have no do*

They iieee.pt the failure of thufr effru't
as a fact, and; as Christian ilieii, will
render a faithful 'allegiance to " tho

it is asking too much of them that they

grave, and plaoe «rjtl in it our blight-
ed hope, feeling that w#. arq majtym
to the son-ows ihatvhe et tlie life of
man. Martyrs in' Whatf Our own
imaginations, we might say. Having
built up an altar, we placed thereon
an imago. We worshipped , thereat;
forgetting that All-Wiso Being, who
held our future as it U in His Fiumitt;
and, when the hand of Kofility swept,
with unflinching severity, those idola
from off those brazen pedestals that
wo set up with such complacency in
our souls, wo stand amazed, confound-
ed, grief-stricken, and, perchance, in-
dignant, that Fate should presume to
cross our path bo often iu life—that
her hnndmaid, Time, should P°ur so
much of gall and wormwood in the
cup of life! Ah ! poor, weak, short-
sighted mortals that we are!—selfish
of onr own liappiuess, grudging the
offering that we are compelled to give
to " Qur Father which art in Heav-
en; " unwilling and unable to see be-
yond the horizon of onr owii selfish
designs and anticipations, and .rebel-
ling fiercely or sullenly at tho strong-
er mind which hath marked out the
hue of our life, and hath each event
with gentleness yet firmness before
our prejudiced eyes.
Oh, God 1 through a retrospect of
tlie past, of the many blessings thou
has offered, how man}' havo we not
thrhed indifferently away from! Ga-
zing, meanwhile, with longing eyes at
forbidden things, and weeping, child-
like, that we. are not permitted to
grasp them!
May the Great Father off Heaven
pity us in our blindness, aud guide us
at last, to that haven where "jthe wick-
fid cease frpni troubling, and the wea-
ry are at rest." Helping iis to believe
