to the Bible Society of the Confederate States to the amount of £ 3,000, free of interest, and that the books will be forwarded as directed to Messrs. Fraser, Trenholm & Co. The first order, which has already reached us, will be executed with as little delay as possible. It will be gratifying to our committee to receive any account of the work of God within the district which your society embraces with which you may be pleased to favor us. I am, my dear sir, yours very sincerely, Charles Jackson, Secretary. This venerable institution gave another illustration of the principles on which it is founded by granting to Rev. Dr. M. D. Hoge, of Virginia, who went abroad during the war to procure religious reading-matter for our soldiers, 10,000 Bibles, 50,000 New Testaments, and 250,000 portions of the Scriptures, mainly for distribution among the soldiers of the Confederate army. With the portion of these grants that passed in to us through the blockade, the New Testaments pr

Small as the amount is, it will cause many a dear one to rise up and call them blessed. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts, --but for us, the glorious cause in which we are engaged should furnish all the excitement and enthusiasm necessary for our success. When ardent spirits were offered to our great warrior Jackson, in his last illness, as a medicine, he exclaimed, Give me pure water and milk. And among the soldiers there were many that followed the example of this great leader. An occasional instance of moral heroism appeared amidst the wreck and ruin wrought by indulgence in strong drink: A little drummer-boy in one of our regiments, says an army correspondent, who had become a great favorite with many of the officers by his unremitting good nature, happened on one occasion to be in the o

Dr. Hoge, of Virginia, who went abroad during the war to procure religious reading matter for our soldiers, 10,lar chaplains. A great demand arose for ministerial reinforcements. Pious officers and private soldiers earnestly appealed to the Churches to send their ablest preachers to the help of the Lord against the mighty. That great and good man, General Jackson, in a letter to the Presbyterian General Assembly, gave the following opinion on the subject of providing adequate religious instruction for the army: My views are summed up in few words.

merican poets, his uncle. He came of the best Massachusetts stock, being descended on the father's side from John Lowell, one of the framers of the Constitution of the State, and a Judge in the United States courts, whose son, Francis Cabot, was one of the two founders of American cotton manufactures, and father of the founder of the Lowell Institute of Boston; and on the mother's side from Patrick Tracy Jackson, cofounder with Francis Cabot Lowell of the city of Lowell, and brother of Charles Jackson, Judge of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. His lineage is referred to for no trivial purpose. Both branches of his family have been long conspicuous for public spirit and the sense and love of justice,—qualities which were peculiarly marked in James Lowell's character. Lowell passed his early youth in Boston, and went through the course of the public Latin School. His family had taken up their residence in Cambridge before he entered college, which was in 1854. In 1858 he was

1865. Sumner Paine. Second Lieutenant 20th Mass. Vols. (Infantry), April 23, 1863; killed at Gettysburg, Pa., July 3, 1863. A brief sketch of Sumner Paine is all that will be of general interest, as his life was short and he was in the service of his country only two months. He was born May 10, 1845, son of Charles C. Paine of Boston, and great-grandson of Robert Treat Paine, a patriot of the Revolution. His mother was Fanny C., daughter of Hon. Charles Jackson. When eleven years old, he went with his family to Europe, and even at that age explored with great interest all the ruins in and around Rome. The summer in Switzerland was an intense delight to him; he accompanied his brothers in two pedestrian excursions among the Alps, exploring most of the passes of central Switzerland and the valleys of Zermatt .and Chamouni, and climbing some of the highest mountains without the least fatigue. Twenty or thirty miles a day over a high mountain pass was to him the height

mington, and Bentonville. After the surrender he returned home and engaged in farming until 1886, in which year he was elected treasurer of Sumter county, filling that position four years. In 1893 he received the appointment of postmaster of the city of Sumter, which place he filled until 1898. He is at present chairman of the board of education of Sumter. He was married December 19, 1867, to Miss Rachel Jackson, and they have five children: Anna Baker, Pauline Peyre, Samuel Porcher, Charles Jackson and Philip Porcher, Jr. Lieutenant William Leonard Galloway, M. D., of Darlington, was born at Lydia, Darlington county, S. C., in 1841, and was educated at the public schools of that county. In January, 1861, at the beginning of Southern trouble, he enlisted in Company F, Eighth South Carolina infantry, as a private. In the spring of the same year a reorganization was ordered in which he was elected second lieutenant of Company M of the same regiment. He held this position throug
