t their head? I guess I know him. What sort of a man is he in the camp? His is the most beautiful Christian character I ever saw. I never saw any thing like it. Does he drink rum? Not a drop. Does he attend prayer-meetings? Always will have one going. Where is he now? In prison at Richmond, because he considered it his duty to stand to the last, and he was taken. Did you know he was accustomed to attend these meetings? I have often heard him speak of these meetings with the profoundest delight. If Jim Irving is not a changed man, I do not know who is. Not a man in the regiment could be found who does not know him and does not believe him to be a Christian. James Irving was once a notoriously wicked man in this city and became, by the grace of God, a most interesting Christian--a meek, humble, modest man as to his spirit, but of towering strength as to the mortal part, and, before going to the army, almost daily in the prayer-meeting.--N. Y. Tribune.
