A Clergyman Arrested. morning the Western section of the city was thrown into a state of much excitement by innumerable rumors that were ciiculating in regard to churches being closet1, ministers erTesied, The facts of the caujecf tte rumors are these: During Saturday night seme unauthorized person placed an mer'can flag over tie entrance doer cf the building situated on Biddle street, near Ross, known as the Northwestern Young Men's Christian Association Hall, but called by many tha Straw-bridge (M. E-) Church, owing to the fact that a large portion of that congregation worshipped there.

The end of the flag was placed under the sill of the ecend story window, and the window was then nailed down from the outside. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning the Rsy. John H. Daehleli, Methodist Episcopal minuter, repaired to tbe church, as to assist at the Sunday school exercises. He is ths lessee of the building, and during the week occupies the room for a school.

As tha proprietor cf thebuilding He removed thefUg, being compelled to break the window pine to co so, as tbe window could not be raised frcm the inside A sport of the affair was made to Major General Schenck by J. E. Gait, of the 2i Maryland infantry, and yesterday afternoon Major Tish, military 'royost Marshal, was instructed to irresi the Rey. Mr. Dashiell.

Lieutenant Wm. E. Morris, of the First Connecticut cavalry, commander of tbe Provost Guard, was in-structed by Major Fish toproceed to Mr. D's residence and arrest him. Lieutenant Morris proceeded to his residence, but the Rev, gentleman being absent, he repaired to the dwelling where he was said to be visiting.

He found Mr. Dashiell jurt about entarinj a welling In the northwestern eec'-ion of the city and at once placed him under arrest. Wren It became known to Lieut. Morris that his prisoner was on an errand of duty, (Tutting the sick,) he alio wad him to enter the house and perform his mission. In a short time Mr.

Dashiell returned, and was then escorted to the middle district police station, and trere placed in close confinement, no oae being allowed to visit orholdcommunicatioa with him. It is understood he vill ha kept there (eccordingto order ol Major General Sctencfe) until this morning, when his case Will be disposed cf by Gea. Schenck. While the congregation of the Chatsworth Methodist Episcopal Church (situated at the coiner of Pine and Franklin streets) were at religious services yesterday morning, a crowd cf men pieced an American Hag over the entrance way, that is, they suspended the flag from the gate on Pine street to a trae near by, and as the cor gregs lien came out, they passed under the flag, fh crowd of. persons who placed it there remained to ste what effect it would bave, but it failed to elicit any remark or action on the part of tbe church members, and consequently a difficulty, if any was looked for, was avoided In cennectionwith tha above the following ncte, communicated to the trustees of the Central Methodist Church, was received by Mr.

Therefore you will under these circumstances cause to be conspicuously displayed in the public building or buildings whare you meet to-morrow (15th) the American nig, as in accordance with first order to Mr. Mc-Gew. I understand tbe congregation of which ycu are trustees are to meet in two pieces. The regulation mentisned above will have re'eier-ce to each place. Per oicler Major Genera! Schenck.

W. S. Fish, Major and Provost Marshal. Mr. Buck, in the abence of his fellow trus.

tees, responded to Gsn. Schsnck, stating that thefe had fcesn no obiection felt or expressed to tbe appearance of tha flags iu the New Asfembly Rooms, and that neither himself ror his colleagues entertained any objection to tbe American flag or to worship heneata its folds But they did object to sn ordar which applied to their church elone, and moreover that he "has neither the right nor tfce inclination to order the American flag or any other ensign to be displayed at either of th places referred to." It is stated in the communication that these places baa not been selected for th pnipcees of worship in consequence of aban-docinr the Assembly Rooms, but had been used by the church for public worship for a 3 ear past.
