The Daily Dispatch: October 23, 1862., [Electronic resource], Rumored Secession from the Scottish Episcopal Church. (search)
Rumored Secession from the Scottish Episcopal Church. --The Edinburg Courant understands that it is thought that the new code of canous which is in preparation for the Scottish Episcopal Church, may be the means of dividing that communion. A large body of the clergy and laity, it is reported, intend to enter into relations with the Church of England. If any other ritual than that of the Prayer Book be adopted.

ishonored, and that he had left the city, some of the parties who had been robbed by him put the telegraph to work, and started parties in pursuit, but Livingston had too much start, and also had a Government pass to enter the Yankee lines. It was ascertained on Saturday that before leaving here Livingston had telegraphed a gentleman at Staunton to purchase him a pair of fast horses, and hopes were entertained that he might he caught on that route before reaching the Yankee line, but the following message, received yesterday morning, shows that his "run" has been a clear one. "Edinburg, (Rockingham Co.,) Oct. 5--Three men of the description you give (doubtless Livingston and his two friends) passed here last Wednesday. They gave a gentleman five hundred dollars in gold to carry them from this place to Martinsburg, and there passed themselves off for deserters from our army." With such a start there is little or no hope of having the greatest swindler of the age overtaken.

J. P. Livingston, the ever-to-be-remembered swindler and speculator, had but one friend with him when he left Edinburg last week for the Yankee lines. Whilst here Mr. Livingston was considered a fast man, and the wonder is that he should have been so successful in his bold operations without attracting the attention of our shrewd business men.

e 6th inst., we find the following passage marked as a quotation. We know not from what book, or paper, it is taken: "Under Murat, in Naples, the prices of the principal articles of food were, for a time, regulated at a maximum rate; and at all times, in the city of Naples, meats and bread are regulated by the Consignor. "In Rome and throughout the Legations the price of grain is fixed every year, and only altered by a decision of a Legate for a specific purpose. "In London, Edinburg, and Dublin, the price of bread is 'assigned' by the corporation periodically, and the market prices for food generally under the supervision of a City Marshal. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has direct control in the matter. "The price of bread was regulated by law in Paris until within a few months, and has at all times been more or less regulated by law in the cities of America, as well as of Europe. " What effect more examples ought to have in settling a question, unless the exampl

Reply to the address of the Confederate clergy. --The "Address to Christians throughout the world by the clergy of the Confederate States of America" has been replied to by the "ministers of the churches of Scotland." The "reply" is signed by about 1,000 ministers, including nearly, if not quite, all of the leading divines (of all denominations) of Edinburg, Glasgow, and other towns of Scotland. Its tone is the result of views of slavery formed from Northern sources and accounts, and shows how little slavery has been known or considered in Europe. We give two extracts from it: We, the undersigned, ministers of the churches in Scotland, in reply to the appeal made to us in the "Address to Christians throughout the World," recently put forth "by the clergy of the Confederate States of America," feel bound to give public expression to our views, last our continued silence should be misconstrued as implying either acquiescence in the principles of the document or indifference

Yankee heirlooms. A just pride in the past is an incentive to virtue both in a family and a State. We are not speaking of the pride of noble descent, for that is a weakness which nations of the middle classes have no temptation to. When George the Fourth visited Edinburg in 1822, he was so struck with the quiet and respectful deportment of the Scottish multitude that he said, "This is a nation of gentlemen." Glorious old Christopher North, a great admirer of the King, spake as follows upon this observation: "His Majesty knows better than to satirize us. We are not a nation of gentlemen, thank Heaven; but the greater part of our population is vulgar, intelligent, high-cheeked, raw-boned, and religious." And yet no people have more pride, and more reason for pride, in the past than the Scotch. Pride in a virtuous and heroic ancestry, in the sturdy independence and incorruptible integrity which characterizes the humblest condition of humanity in that land; pride which finds a tong

en and broken down negroes, wounded and exhausted horses and soldiers. It was only when our men relaxed in the vigorous pursuit that they began to pilfer and burn. They fired the barn of Mr. Isaac Parkins, on the Valley pike, about eight. miles from Staunton. One party spared it through entreaty, but another squad came along and applied the torch. The Herald of the 7th says they have received nothing yet from Sheridan. It was reported that a force of rebel cavalry had dashed into Edinburg, a small town midway between Woodstock and Mount Jackson, burned the bridge and captured the guard. This is in Sheridan's rear. The fight at Saltville. We collect from various sources some interesting particulars of the light at Saltville. The battle was fought by the reserves from Smythe, Russell, Tazewell, Washington and Scott counties, under command of Colonel Robert H. Smith; those from Montgomery and Pulaski, commanded by Colonel Robert T. Preston, and Colonel Joseph F.

It appears that our mortar shelling is much more precise than that of the enemy, our shells frequently falling into their trenches. From the Valley. Passengers by last night's Central train state that the enemy were, at last accounts, at the old battle ground of Fisher's Hill, Still retreating towards Winchester. Our less in the affair at Edinburg is stated to have been between three and four hundred. It is also stated that we have since recaptured all of our artillery with the exception of three pieces. It appears that Sheridan has smuggled through an official dispatch to Washington, swelling this affair into tremendous proportions, and boasting of having captured the headquarter wagons of every cavalry officer, general and regimental, in the Valley. From Georgia. Sherman has at last arrived and taken command of h

guished himself. Several of the lower class of citizens from Harrisonburg and vicinity migrated with the Yankees, together with most of the free negroes in the Valley. Good citizens rejoice at their departure. I am very sorry to have to announce another disastrous affairs in the Valley: Yesterday, by some inexcusable oversight, our cavalry was moved twenty miles beyond the place where the whole force of infantry was encamped. The wagon camp of the cavalry, too, was near Edinburg, thirteen miles beyond our camp. Our cavalry met with the enemy both on the pike and on the back road. They drove their cavalry back for some distance, until, somewhere in the vicinity of Woodstock, they met their infantry, who proving too hard for them, they were compelled to fall back. Their cavalry taking advantage of this, made a furious charge upon our column, which caused them to break and run. This proved quite a disastrous affair to us; eleven guns of Breathed's battalio
