61 THE OUTRAGES OF THIS . WAR.
ev.'Pr. Stewart, Rector of St. Paul's Church,
Alexandria, Va., left on the 10th inst. for Europe.
Jus!; previous to his leaving he wrote to the Rec
ujrjtf Sjti Jamea' Church, "Wilmington, N. C.,a
mil account of the outrage perpetrated on him by
tieFederal soldiers whilst officiating In bis pul
pjtin February, 1862. No account of this has
been printed in the Confederacy and we give the
letter as a chapter which will pass into history as
iDejnarriuve oi one oi me most sacruegioue uui
rags of this war :
(The services had prgressed as far as the second
suffrages of the Litany ; Rev. George Smith was
kneeling at one end of the altar, and, I was con j
ducjting the services at tno other end, when a con
n't 1 i O . o J -3 If.
npenuai agent oi oecreiary oewaru, uauicu aior
tin, arose in front of the Chancel and demanded
ttat I should pray for the President of the United
Sjtates. At the same time a Captain of the 8th II
ljh4is cavalry, named Farnsworth, began to re
peal, from a front p-jw, the prayer for the Presi
dent. ' Finding that I paid no regard to his de
mand, but proceeded in the Litany, Morton gave
ajsijgn to Farnsworth, and the.officers and soldiers
3 ho had accompanied him into the Church im
ediately surrounded the Chancel, and a sergeant
wal ordered to 1 'seize that man I" The sergeant
sprang over tho Chancel railing, .and made seve
ral motions as if he would lay bold upon me, but,
iaapmuch as I still continued the Litany, he hes
iatied, and tho order was given to take the Prayer
boqk from mo : thereupon the book was violently
wrestod from ray hand ana thrown upon the floor.
The order to. seize me was now repeated ; I was
about using the suffrages "from all evil and mis
chief; from the crafts and assaults of the Devil ;
Ifom envy, hatred and malice, good Lord I deliv
er is ; " when I felt the officer's hand 'upon my
saoUldor as I knelt at the altar. But just at that
moment a gentleman of the congregation seized
tijioHofflcer and threw him out of the Chancel.--l!hreupon
the officers and soldiers drew their sa
bjret and revolvers, and therd wag great noise and
clnlfusion ; womjm were struggling to hold their
hbsjbands, others screaming, others cryiog "for
siaime," and amidst it all I heard the voice of
Liejut.i , saying, "don't fire." I immedi
ately arose, and facing the Captaia (Farnsworth,)
said something, in reply to which he eaid : I ar
rest you, as & rebel and a traitor, in the name and
by jthe authority of the President of the United
Sitnitos." I replied, "and 1 summon you to appear
befbre the bar of the Lord of Lords and. King of
King?, to answer upon the charge of interrupting
liU Ambassador, by armed violence, while in the
aklof presenting the petitions of His people, at
Hii ahar." He then orda ed me to take off the
ifytfylice. This I refused to do, observing, "you
hjave entered tho Church of God, and dragged Re
li&jon from its altar, and now you wish to make it
alpersoDal matter Dy removing me vesimeni irom
ujie. No, you must take me as I am." Two ser
geants then Beized me in the Chancel, and with
gNat violence, holding a revolver at my breast,
tjiey forced me out of the Chuich, and through
tie; streets with the surplice on, each of them
gjrisping it upon the shoulder so "tightly as to leave
iiipom it the marks of their hands. At the same
tlne my dau5hter, having left the choir, where
ttjhad been engaged in -singing, and approach
ing a Lieutenant, said : "You are not going to ar
rjesjt ny father?" "Yes, and you too," replied
th 4 officer, who rudely seizad her by the arm and
fjjricwi her through the streets to be shut in the
dukrd-room of the 8lh Illinois cavalry,
t About the time of greatest confusion, an armed
oomrjany. who had Deen piacea in reserve at a
sfadct distanco from the Church, broke in and
t)esred their officer to "let them fire Upon these
damned secession women and children. ,f Whilo
in Itho cuard room, being surrounded by many of
Ucra who sought to reproach me for violation of
qaaon law and rubrics, I first replied that if I was
Under tho jurisdiction of the Bishop of Virginia
1 had violated no law ; but, it not under hia au
thority, then I wai as independent and free as the
jj'rBsbyterian or Baptist, and no rubric could bind
rjae. But being vexed by continued discussions, I
observed that there were limits to iheir power
fen41 that they could not hurt the hair of my head
without their master's permission : but that if He
i-Uled it so, yet even at the peril of death in five
minutes, I would not allow military power to en
tjfthe Church and dictate prayers to the Minis
fori of Gad. Gen. Montgomery now came in and
;iteiuUed the officers for violating the sanctity of
itih Lord's day and Church, and for going in a
i Cljarch armed with weapons of death. He told
I them that I was a resident of the city, and could
hawe been arrested on a week day, and that he had
i foiitasp.lr renorted to tue uovernment the omission
i i r r i - -
of the prayervand had no instructions to arrest me,
llhat he regarded their action as an intrusion upon
hi4 own province ; he alsosaid that I had violated
riot civil or military law, and that there were
Church tribunals to which I should be amenable,
if jtruilty of ecclesiastical irregulaity. He then
ased me to go with him to his own quarters, where
4. remained until he obtained authority to act in
the matter, when he at once released me. W-en
hot at first offered me a parole, I declined it, on the
ground that 1 would accept nothing but an uncon
diional release. When he urged me to settle the
iwholo difficulty by praying for the President,
assured him that though it might, as intimated
fmake my Jorlune, ' yet 1 should not do it ; and
jthnt I regarded it as unmanly in his Government
Jtoi make use of women and chidren, and timid
jclbrgymen," to byw-beat and crush out the liber
ties or. the south : that we were non-combatants
land should bo at least tolerated. Gen. Montgome
iry ''thought that his Government would disavow
ith?3 whole matter. But he was mistaken. He
wa ultimately removed from his command, and
sftl) the Episcopal churches closed some of them
bding shockingly desecrated.. Every indignity
was bestowed upon me that the press and the mob
icoiuld invent ; aUnion flag was fastened upon my
Muse, and eventually I had to seek, in exile from
iny family, that safety which even the Turk af
fords miniters of religion, and the privilege of
iworshipping God according to the dictates of my
conscience. -
. Tue Raid ik East Tennebsee. The Green
ville (Tenn.) Banner, of the 23d, in a postscript
tot an account of the last raid, says :
("Since writing the above we have. learned defi
nitely that the Yankees have made their escape
oter Clinch Mountain, and are being pursued by
oiir cavalry. They burned the bridge over Mos
sy creek, and the bridge at Strawberry Plains ;
ateo stole a great many negroes, horses and other
property. We are informed in their demonstra
tion on Knox villa, they destroyed the Georgia
riilroad engine house, about a mile from the city.
Pi U thcuzht they will attempt to escaoe through
'some of the gaps below Pound Gap. Gen. Pres
ton, report says, is moving down to intercept
tiem." f
The Bristol Advocate of the 25th inst. has the
fallowing in relation to the raid:
We understand that the force consisted of five
regimenta of mounted infantry, and were com
manded by Carter and Bird, East Tennessee tories
4-in all about three thousand.
I So soon as Gen. Jackson learned of the advance
of the enemy he made a call upon the' true men
of Upper East Tennessee to rally and assist in
driving the enemy back, and we are proud to
kino'w that old Sullivan nobly responded to his
call. Nearly 500 of her citizens repairedlo Zol
lijcoffex for the defence of the. bridge at that place,
op Sunday and Monday last.
( Nearly every mail citizen of Bristol who was
able to beararm3 responded to the call. None could
b found who betrayed the slightest disposition to
slbrink from duty. .
P. S. Since the above was in type, more reli
able In formation is to' the effect that the enemy
did not come in through Big Creek Gap, but came
oofof Kentucky, a little northeast of Sparta, in
Kioane county, where Bird formerly resided, and
wihere he captured some artillery.

GENERAL C. PEMBERTON CR ZL
INGRATITUDE TOWARDS OUR GE JE
RALS. With the Carthagenians, the want of su ess
was a crime, and the General who had been un
fortunate in battle was punished with death
sometimes by fire and fagot! The people oi 'ie
Confederate" States have imbibed much of : .is
wicked injustice and insane cruelty. It is t-ue
they do not propose to burn at the stake an un
successful officer, but to substitute a torture in
finitely worse a name branded eitherwith dis
honor or treachery. This mean and illiberal
spirit has been manifested from the beginning
of the war, but more recently in the shameful and
scandalous falsehoods which have been piled up-ofj-Gen.
John C. Pemberton. Indeed, we may
say for many months past the foul and hellish
breath of slander has been busy- wun the name
of this distineushed patriot. The most despicable
of all crimes has been charged upoa him. It
has "been asserted that he was the spawn of North
ern corruption, and therefore, capable or perndity
or any kind of baseness. But time, in unfolding
bis hidden mysteries, nas exposed me Dase ingrat-
ude and injustico of thu chargp. Genr P's gal
lantry at Vicksburg has vindicated his patriotism
The load of ca'umny. which a few weeks since
hung around his name like a pall of gloom, has
been dispelled by the bright sunshine of truth
and he now stands before the world 'surrounded
by a lustre made still more refulgent on account
of the dark clouds outcf which he has so triumph
antly emerged. This noble patriot can now af
ford to scorn his traducers and lo smile at eren
death, since he has lived long enough to, rescue
his name from infamy and to leaveit a richinberi-
tance to bis country and his children, if the de
famers of Gen. Pemberton are not lost to shame,
they Jtvill weep tears of blood, wrung from hearts
tortured with remorse, as they read the following
scathing. rebuke and noble burst of patriotism, ut
tered while the iron hail rained so. luxuriantly
around the hills of Vicksburg :
You have heard that 1 was incompetent and a
traitor, and that it was my intention to sell Vicks
burg. Follow me, and you will see the cost at
which I willsell Vicksburg. , When the last pound
of beef, bacon and flour ; tho last grain of corn,
the last cow, aad bog, and horse, and dog shall
hsve been consumed, and the last man shall have
perished in the trenches, then, and only then, will
I sell Vicksburg."
The history of tho world does notanord a more
sublime example of lofty determined, unconquer
able heroism. And those brave words were il
lustrated by still braver deeds. Daring the days
of Spartan glory it was an inviolable rule never
to fly, uowever superior the enemy s army might
be in unmbers never to abandon a post nor sur
render their arms. Gen. -Pemborton, it seems,
learned his valor in the same school, 'for he tells
the hired minions of despotism that, like the Spar
tans of old, he knows not how to surrender, and
.had therefore resolved to die at his post. Verily,
the star of Pemberton has reacned a glorious cul
mination.
The monstrous wrong done Gen. Pemberton
should be another lesson to those "who have here
tofore been swift in farming and expressing erro
neous opinions in regard to our Generals. During
the war, many prominent officers have suffered
great injustice from this cause. (Jten. Albert Sid
ney Johnson was the first victim on whom the "'
tures of slander fastened their filthy beaks.
however, vindicated his patriotism with his )
and we baheve it is now generally conceded I -
he was the greatest military genius of the i.
When the irresistible hand of fata decree j
fall of Fort Henry j the same nest of unclean . u
commenced whetting their bills for a feast
the reputation of Gen. Tilghman. That ga .
officer made one of the most desperate fights oi - j
war. He took the coat from his back with whioa
he loaded his last gun. He was compelled, how
ever, to yfeld to the storm which swept from hi n
every means of defence. . He was taken a prison
er, and while being insulted by the jeers u .id
sneers of a proud and exultant foe, the slandoi r ' i
in our midst, unable to stay their morbid ap -tites,
and alike insensible to the promptings cf
cency, commenced accusing him of cowardice .;d
treachery. But a few weeks since he, too, th .-10-ble
Tilghman, like the high toned Johnson, s ti
ed to think his life necssary to vindicate his .
triotism, and he gave it a free-will offering,
cou8e he loved honor more than he hated dc .
When; New Orleans Ml, tho caff'on cr .s
were again found trying to fish up from their .
ty sewers a new slander with which to blacuou
the name of some good man. It was not difficult
for them to find a victim. A cracked and phtbis
icky voice was heard to exclaim, Gan. Mansfield
Lovell has betrayed us, and the lie, big, fat and
plump, was not too large for the slanderer's sooty
mouth, for there it found ra congenial home, and
sweltered in corruption just long enough to infect
the whoe atmosphere. The charge, so baseless,
false and unjust, could not'extinguish the fire f
patriotism always Durning pure ana urignt in tr'.e
heart of Gan. Lovell, and at the battle of Corinth,
like Johnson and Tilghman, he seemed to woo
death upon the battle field. His many wrongs
were a good deal like.Asdrubal had suffered from
his ungrateful countrymen, and he seemed to cov
et the death, which that illustrious hero found
upon the banks of the river Metaurus, for in the
midst of the sanguinary fight at Corinth, the man
ly form of Gen. Lovell was found towering where
the fight was thickest. By noble deeds and not
by empty words did he vindicate his loyalty. But
bis traducers were not there to witness their shame
and discomfiture, for liars are always cowards, and
they were no doubt far away, concocting new
slanders, perhaps this very one fabricated for the
destruction of General Pemborton, their lastvic
tim. .
Talk no longer about the ingratitude of a thank
less' child the rank meapess of the frozen viper
that stung the hand that warmed it into life for
there is no ingratidude so base as that done these
nob,le men. The poor fool who gave the tyrant
iEmilius the brazen horse as a means of torturing
his fellow creatures, was the first made to suffer
by his own instrument ; and these shameful ip
gratos, who have been so industrious in inventing
falsehoods for torturing men in the service of their
country, should now become the recipients of that
scorn and loathing and contempt which they have
auempieu to Dring upon tne best men of the
land.
We are for holding vory officer to a rigid, ex
act accountability. We believe io the philosophy
of Solon, that the two groat springs of human ac
tion, and which set mankind in motion, are Hope
and Fear. Rewards and Punishments are the ful
crum and lever which move the world. If gui.t
be permitted to g unpunished, crime becomes
emboldened ; so will patriotism and virtue lan
guish and decline when unappreciated or required
by black ingratitude. Shame, infamy and the
eternal execration of all mankind should follow a
weak, drunken, cowardly or treacherous General;
but these hated epithets should never ba used, even
in a whisper, unless there be proof positive some
thing more definite than common rumor, which
is generally put afloat by some common liar.
GEN. BRECKINRIDGE'S DIVISION BRO
KEN UP HIS FAMILIARITY WITH
HIS SOLDIERS.
The correspondent of the Kebtri, writing from
the front,- says :
Ge'b. Breckinridge's division has been broken
up aad the pieces scattered. H? and his staff, -. t U
onef the fragments,, have been sent to an
fleldbf labor. The disruption of tho division - .
partia with the Gsneral filled erery heart -i
' sadness. The greater portion of the divisioL
been associated with him since the lamented afV
fair at Fort Donelson and" the abandonment of
Tennessee, and were with him atSbiloh, JTickf-
burg, Baton Rouge and Murfreesboro. lhe sharj
Ing of so many dangers and distresses, bis native
knightlike gallantry on the field, and hisgeneroqs
sympathy vfof bis wounded and sick companions;
in camp, have given birth to a mutual atttftch-!
ment as tender and devoted as a woman's love in
thejlrst gosh of womanly feeling. He was as fa
miliarly known t.o his soldiers as a messmate.
When riding through the camps, as he often
did. to see what "was lacking to .make them com
fortable aud contented, instead of his approach be
ing greeted with the cry of "fall in guard,' and
formal jarade and sentinels,as is customary when
a gdilt fledgling of tle staff gallops up and an
nounces the coming oi a genera! otScer,the shout
was raised, "Breckinridge is coming," land down
would golbookSjCards, newspapers and everything,
and a crowd of boys would meet him at' the guar I
line. It was rumored that he would leave us", bnt
no one was wiling to believe it, until last Friday
morning, when he came around to tell' us good
bye. It was like leaving home again, breaking
up its sweet associations. Silently and eadly he
shook hands with us and left us. There is a poig
nancy ofendne3s in tearing these old ties of friend
ship, 'woven and hallowed by common dangers
and sufferings. But all these chains will be broken
and the bright links scattered. j
