Thc Episcopal Church uud thc Radi?
cal*.
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.

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. The
freedmen are given to understand that
they must labor for their existence
hereafter, and not expect any further
concessions from the Government.
