y will, but there comes the time when every knee shall bow. Stonewall Jackson went through the war attributing all his victories to God. He had absolute dependence on an overruling providence. What could overcome such a character? A distinguished Virginia minister, Rev. Mr. Hullihen, has just furnished me this historical letter in regard to General Ewell and Stonewall Jackson: October 10, 1891. General John Echols: Dear General: 'Twas in connection with General Ewell's conversion to Christ, from his accidentally overhearing Jackson praying for guidance in the prosecution of the campaign when it had a short while before been confessed by all the Confederate generals, Jackson included, that they knew not what to advise—then the brilliant movement through Thoroughfare Gap, etc. My informant got the account from a minister of the Presbyterian Church, who was present as one of the session in examining General Ewell (who had been a very profane man and skeptical), and hearing him g

bed by Dr. Dabney, Dr. Hunter Mc-Guire and others. His glorious death. Stonewall Jackson died as he lived — an humble, trusting Christian. Nay! he did not die. The weary, worn marcher simply crossed over the river and rested under the shade of the trees. The battle-scarred warrior fought his last battle, won his last victory, and went to wear his bright crown of rejoicing, his fadeless laurels of honor, to receive from earth and from Heaven the plaudit: Servant of God well done, Rest from Thy loved employ; The battle's fought, the victory's won; Enter thy Master's joy. As veterans of the old Stonewall corps gather in Lexington around the grand monument of their old chief, and as comrades scattered all over the land shall read the story of the happy day, God grant that one and all of them may hear the voice of the glorious and glorified leader calling to them in trumpet tones: be Ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ!

e conquered until worn out by attrition. He could not be conquered then. The last foe of all he turned to meet, in the old knightly fashion, and wrung from him the final victory, wherein he who conquers self is conqueror of death. Faithful son of the Church, he received his death wound, too, in the breast. Before the Universal Conqueror he fell upon his unsurrendered shield. He fell like a soldier, closing his eyes to earth and opening them to Heaven; he gave his soul Unto his Captain, Christ, Under whose colors he had fought so long. To this last Captain, who heareth and absolveth, his last report is handed. There, he said on his death-bed to Dabney Maury, we shall surely meet. Ah, there! In the light of that perfect eye which looks clean through appearance and judges the real only, there is this great appeal! In those upper fields where the venom of this earth is slain, its serpent crushed, where no false balance is and no inadvertency, his clear spirit will join and be

t, of course, settled the matter, and I shall never repeat the anecdote again; shall ask my publishers to suppress it in future editions of my book, and shall do everything in my power to correct it. But when I used it to illustrate a point in my Christ in the Camp, it was in the full assurance of its authenticity. Yet I would never have used a well-authenticated anecdote had I supposed for a moment that it either placed you in the attitude of a skulker, or that any one would so regard it, orriend who told you of it has, unintentionally, of courses misrepresented the tone and spirit of my publication, and made it mean what the language does not imply. And in order that this may be seen, I feel constrained to quote the passage from Christ in the Camp in full, although I am 10th to do so, as the anecdote proved to be a baseless canard. In speaking of the faithful workers, who preached to the soldiers under the most adverse circumstances, I say: Rev. Dr. R. L. Dabney was a

ossibly scatter them among the Northern people, or place them in some territory or Africa. Simultaneously with their freedom Africa was explored. Railways are now crossing the dark continent, and steamers are plowing her waters, and four hundred thousand of her people have lately been converted to Christianity. The negroes are not reinforced by immigration, nor increasing as rapidly as the white race by natural laws, so that in relation to that race they stand as John the Baptist stood to Christ—the one must increase and the other decrease. And thus in the coming years, the negro may cease to be a disturbing factor in our civilization, as he is now hardly felt in Virginia politics. The New South. Men talk of the old South and the new; I rejoice in the new, because it is the same old South renewed. Like the fable phoenix bird, that from the ashes of its funeral pile came forth with its same sweet song and with richer plumage to flutter again in the great floods of the sunshin
