Clergy orders and bishop’s arrest amid Civil War tensions
A fragment from a Natchez era letter describes War Department pressure on churches including a prayer order for the President. The Catholic Bishop of Natchez faced arrest and was sent to Vidalia after refusing to pray. The scene at the ferry and the bishop’s blessing are recounted, as is his restricted detainment and limited contact. The letter also notes Republican campaign efforts and a government printing office aiding abolition materials.
