In the evening we attended a Union meeting at Alexandria and enjoyed it exceedingly. They were discussing the resolutions commendatory of the course of the officers who on a previous sabbath removed from his desk the Rev. Mr. Stewart for omitting certain portions of the service; i.e. the prayer for the President and that all "treason and rebellion might be purged from our midst." This he had been doing repeatedly sabbath after sabbath. Besides this public deriliction of duty he has in his private life given frequent and unmistakable testimonies of strong personal sympathies for the rebels. Many pithy sayings were uttered against the reverend gentleman and his treasonable course.
