^trhmotiil ' jisprtdt. FRIDAY MAY 18, 1866. Can the South be Kept Out? The intimate political, commercial, and social relations existing between the northern and southern portions of this Union tender the continuance of any wide difference in their relations to the Central Government a matter of impossibility. That disfranchisement of the south which makes the present great political distinction between them, cannot be maintained any length of time without involving the north likewise. Such dissimilarity of treatment of the two divisions by the General Government must inevitably produce collisions between the different departments of the Government which must either terminate in putting an end to the inequality or subverting the Government itself. The dominant party in the Congress is fast paving the way for the settlement of this question, and for its settlement against themselves and in favor of the equality of rights and privileges under the Constitution among all the States. The holding of eight millions of citizens, in a free representative government, in a state of mere vassalage to the remainder of the Union--the keeping of these eight millions merely for taxation, denying them all participation in the Government-- is an anomaly in a professedly Representative Constitutional Republic without precedent in history. No kind of expedient or party machinery can perpetuate such a monstrosity. The ever-recurring party struggles of a country like ours will ol themselves compel the enfranchisement of so large a body of men. Its influence in those struggles will not be dispensed with. For the restoration of their rights and equality in public affairs a war of the most determined character must be waged in the north-- a war which would achieve its object or subvert the Government. When Thad. Stevens and his followers are venting maledictions upon "rebels"- wishing them disfranchised for eighteen thousand and sixty years, and sending them to hell, thereto be hedged in with bayonets- they but prefigure that political destiny reserved fur themselves. That the restoration of the south to political equality with the north is ind'^pensable to the national peace, as well as prosperity, is apparent to all dispassionate and reflecting men. The paralysis of the south can but cripple and impede the north, the two sections being a part of the same Government. The vigorous body cannot continue in health tied to the paralytic. The crippling of that south w hich furnished two-thirds of the exports of the United States before the war cannot but impair the national wealth and seriously diminish its resources. Injuries so serious can only be repaired by releasing the southern States from the disabilities and 0 humiliations imposed upon them. In no other way can the nation be restored to its highest state of prosperity, and placed in the best condition to bear up successfully under the weight of the debt with which it is now encumbered. Every day of postponement of this wise measure of the Federal Government is accumulating, in geometrical ratio, the damage to the national interests as well as the perils to the liberties of the people of the whole country. The ruling party in Congress hopes to postpone it till after the Presidential election, that they may be enabled to elect their own man and ge| complete possession of the immense patronage of 'the Federal Government. This expedient is fraught with trouble and difficulties. They insure their own defeat, and may involve the country in revolution. The south cannot l>e excluded from participation in that election, and should any nominee be elected with the southern vote, he would be placed in the chair by the northern party that supported him, even at the cost of blood. The south cannot be kept out of the Union. They who labur to keep her out may much easier revolutionize the Oovernment? establishing upon its ruins a despotism. But they would make nothing by that. A despotism would be one for t hemhelves as well as lor us. It would he only a different mode of arriving at that equality which must come, and that before long, in one way or another.

General Howard and His Bureau. General 1Iowaiu> seems to be in a certaiti sense a good man ; and in calling upon the President to remove him from the head ?* of the Freedmen's Bureau, as we did several days ago, we did not mean t<? imply that he was a corrupt or will'ullv dangerous official. IK- is, however, a rabid fanatic ; and ail fanatics arc dangerous men it' in official positions. It matters not that he believes himself to be upright and conscientious; for if lie is really one of these monomaniacs he will certainly do acts which a man of clear intellect would shrink from. We copy from the Philadelphia Pre** of the 16th the following paragraph, which the reader will he able to weigh for himself when told that Forxky is responsible for its appearance : "Information upon which full reliance can be placed proves that Andrew .John*on is resolved to remove General Howurd, the Christian chief of the Freedmen's Bureau, if he can find an excuse for ho doing. The report of Geuerals Stcedman and Fuller, ton was made to suit Johnson's veto message ot the Freedmen's Bureau, and to fulfil his prediction*. Their reporter was a correspondent ot tb? New York Herald, who, while at Newbern, uttered to suppress h? report if paid by th? ageUt of the Bureau. Tins reporter is by the MtraUi and by the Government tor his work Con peM will probably appoint a committee tG follow and correct the dangerous statements of the President's favorites. The destruction of the Freedmen's Bureau is demanded by the traitors, though it feeds more whites than blacks." Pes chiron Nob man Hojweh. ?

Maury and Mr. Hugh Pendleton, the committee to examine the credentials of lay delegates, reported that the following delegates were entitled to seats in the Council: Lewis B. Williams, Dr. F. T. Stribling, Fleming Saunders, Samuel P. Mitchell, Daniel R. Stuart, F. J. Ribble, General Asa Rodgers, Hugh N. Pendleton, ?Dabney Cosby, N. L. Carter, B. F. Garrett, Luther I). llaymond, John W.

Other clergymen and laymen arrived after the call of the roll, whose names have not been handed to the Secretary. Among them, I notice Rev.C. Minnigerode, ]). D., and the Rev. T. Petcrkin, I). D., of Richmond. The business hours of the Council were lixed at from 0, A. M., to :t, P. M., with a recess at 11 o'clock for divine service. Tazewell Taylor submitted a resolution looking to the amendment of the tenth canon, so as to make the government of Christ Church, Norfolk, similar to that of all other Episcopal churches in the diocese. My telegram to-day explains the character of the amendment. On motion, the following resolution was adopted : Ri'solceil, That clergymen of this diocese not entitled to seats in this Council, clergymen of other dioceses, and candidates for orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church, be, and are hereby, invited to honorary seats in this Council. After a long and not very interesting discussion, the rules of order of the Convention of IMIO, with slight verbal amendments, were adopted as the rules of order of this Council. A resolution was adopted, that when the ! Convention adjourn, it adjourn to meet in ' committee of the whole on the state of J the church at 5 'o'clock this evening. Dr. Sparrow, from the Standing Com mittec, then submitted the following report : ? ^ The Standing Committee beg leave to otler the following report of their proceedings since the meeting of the last Diocesan Council : J. 11.

To till the vacancy thus occasioned, Mr. Charles S. Taylor was appointed. All of which is respectfully submitted. G. 11. Norton', Secretary. The Council then adjourned until 5 o'clock. EVENING SESSION.

The Council met at 5 o'clock and went into committee of the whole on the state of the church, Rev. W. N. Pendleton in the chair. Rev. W. W. Green was elected assistant secretary. Rev. D. F.

On the 10th instant, the largest procession I have ever seen in Charlottesville marched to the cemetery near the University, a distance exceeding two miles, and strewed flowers over the graves of the brave men who sleep there. Several meetings have hcen held during the past week, and a number of stirring addresses have been delivered ; among the rest, that of Hev. Mr. Ware, a copy of which 1 herewith place at your disposal. A permanent organization has been ? formed for the purpose of enclosing, beautifying, and earing for the cemetery', and erecting a suitable monument to tinmemory of our fallen braves. The organization is known as the Albemarle Confederate Memorial Association, ami its officers are : Professor .1. L. Cabell, President ; Captain Joel Miller amLA. 1*. ! A bell, Esq., Vice-Presidents ; Ciqinffn S. G. Lcitch, Secretary ; C. G. Brown, ? Treasurer. And these officer*, together i with Captain W. II. Crank, Dr. J. K. Chancellor, and Captain J. Mcl). Carrington, compose an executive committee. i Ami a.

MR. WAR!-:'# APDRKXS. Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen,? At the solicitation of tin* gentlemen of the committee since my arrival in the house, f ! have consented to speak a few words. But I feel it is not an occasion lor talking, still less is it called for after what has already ! been said. Wc are not met to talk, but to i indulge and cherish sentiments too deep, 1 too tender, too sacred for utterance. It is, ' rather, silently to breathe our sigh* and mingle our tears for hopes that have per- j ished and loved ones dead. lis not to discuss issues or recur to unpleasant facts ? 1 that would only serve to harrow our feel- 1 ings and mar our peace. But it is to in- ? dulge ? as has been well said? the seem- j ingly pot>r, but sacred, i?rivilege of weeping for those who are no more affected by such influences. " The storms that nlia k?? tlift earth Hiid hky No more disturb tlieir decj? repose Than auiuiner eveiiiug'B latent sigh, That ?huu> the roue. They were our heroes , and none the less I such because they were heroes in vain. It is enough for us that it was in a cause that they and we believed t?? be just, and tor u.vthat they imperilled all, and lost all. It is enough for us that they were our husbands, sons, brothers, lovers, and that the fondest affections of our hearts were interwoven with theirs. It is peculiarly fitting, too, that we should thus observe this so sad ami sacred in its associations and memories: the anniversary of that day on which Stonewall Jackson died : ? that most gallant of war-! riors and devout of' Christians, whose hc- ' roic devotion to front the humble j walks of a student's and teacher's life up ? to the highest achievements of the warrior, I was positively sublime ; ? a man whose i strategy and simplicity, whose sternness j . and generosity, whose gallantry as a wari rior, and faith and piety as a Christian, 1 constituted him at once absolutely grand | and peerless in the estimation of all true] men. 1 hold in my hand a precious relic ? handed me a moment ag<> ? a few laded tlowi ers, preserved from a garland that rested i on the bosom of Stonewall Jackson ? dead, j Yes, precious relic! and from the sacred : associations this day, doubly so. Precious ; relic ! faded as they are, fit emblem of our faded hopes ? crumbling as they are, fit emblem of all that can perish of him whom they commemorate. And yet emblem too ? for among them I see the arbavitte ? of i that of him which emmot perish ? his mem. I ory, ever green ? and his soul, immortal, j It is such flowers that we go to-day to j scatter upon the graves of his comrades, j Fresh, like their memory, in our hearts; I untimely broken, like them, in their fall, I they yet speak, emblematically, to our I hopes of the immortality which God has promised and pledged to us all. W hile we j do this, let us remember how many sorj rowing hearts throughout the south are , this day turned wistfully to Virginia be- j : cause in its sacred dust rest the fond objects of their alfection and hopes. I have : recently had some opportunity of testing their appreciation of Virginia, and the highest expressions have been given by every possible mode, verbal and material. They know that Virginia was for four years , the very vortex of the war; that her fields were desolated, her homes razed to the ground, and her fair valleys, that once bloomed with almost the beauty of the unfallen Paradise, were turned into cheerless deserts. They know, too, with what untiring devotion these noble women cheered their loved ones when well, nursed them i when wounded and sick, and buried I them when dead. And they feel how | eminently fitting it is that the;/, who so , well supplied the place of loved ones at home, in soothing the achingtemple, moistening the parched lips, and speaking words of consolation and hope to the tainting spirit, should now, in their stead, scatter the emblems of purity, and love, and hope, over their graves, and imbue them with the hallowed oblation of woman's tears. Then I need not entreat you not to neglect the graves of the unkiuncn. I'uLnim en! This strange, sad word wakes sad and sacred memories iu my heart. Memories, though sometimes latent, ever present to me that I have a fond brother who somewhere sleeps in an unfototcn grave. Par- ) don the personal allusion, but I have been ou that sad pilgrimage for " the missing " ? j searching in vain among the living and the dead. Summoned by kindred from the > far west through letters delayed by broken communication until the turf had grown j green over the slain, 1 went on the track of the broken and pursuing armies ; searching the hospital records; inquiring of all : "Did such an one pass this way/ Did he linger or die in your midst?" 1 read the rude inscription of every grave. And as 1 turned aside the rank grass, and ? read the names of friend and foe promis- | cuously lying side by side, I need not tell you with what tearful interest I paused beside the nameless grave marked knoiCH.,i AJr; me thought, unknown! Is there not oue who watched over him in helpless infancy? guided his footsteps in the slippery path of youth, and now looks after his interest and destiny with a consuming solicitude tluit is bringing down her grey hairs with sorrow to the grave ? "Unknown ! " Is there not one who went ? with him to the school, sported with him ; on the village common, rambled with hint on the streams, and ever found that all the nobler impulses of his nature found a response in the kindly sympathies of a brother's heart ? Is there not one who trusted him with the full wealth of her young affectious ? And are there not those who, at every evening's return, clambered upon liis kneo to share the envied kiss ? j Perhaps it is he ! If so, he was not un- : knowu to them ; nor shall he be unknown iu that realm where " that which is iu the past shall be done away, and that which is perfect shall come, and we shall kuow him oven as wo are known," for he was a Christian mart. 0 The truest of all h?roe?, a ?ervant of God.
