[for the Richmond Dispatch.]Religious reading for the soldiers. Richmond, Va., Feb. 18, 1862. Permit me to state that I am now making an effort to secure funds from the citizens of Richmond with which to publish tract and Testaments for our soldiers. A good beginning has been made, and, as we are trying to place a Testament and a tract in the hands of every soldier in the Confederacy, I hope that all who can will share with us the injury
twelve months of volunteered service will soon have expired, let the same spirit of enthusiasm beam in your faces and glow within your hearts that was so manifest ten months ago. Mothers and sisters glory in the dear ones who have left them for the battle-field, and well they know the heroism of those manly hearts who have stood unclinched before the sound of musketry and the booming of cannon at Bethel, at Manassas, at Bull Run, at Leesburg, and at every place where they might meet the intruders upon proud Virginia's soil; and such a thought as that of their not re-enlisting — be it for a service of ten years, or until every frace of the enemy has vanished — would seem an insult to the heart of any daughter of Virginia. I have brothers in the army, and we all have; but we would not consider the sacrifice too great to yield them, though our heart's dearest treasures, as victims to secure the freedom of our glorious Southern Confederacy. Carrie. Gordonsville, Feb. 18, 1862.
