, and on May 10th, 1863, had a brisk fight at Horse Shoe Bend, Ky., on the Cumberland River, where it was attacked by General John Morgan, who was then making his famous raid. The regiment lost 5 killed, 19 wounded, and 5 missing. Its gallant defence, after being summoned to surrender by a vastly superior force, made this fight a notable one among the minor actions of the war. After participating in the Vicksburg campaign, and then in the fighting in East Tennessee, during which Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Smith, its commanding officer, was killed in the affair at Campbell's Station, it returned to Virginia where it took a prominent part in all the battles of the Ninth Corps in 1864-5. It entered the Wilderness campaign in the Second Brigade, Third Division (Willcox's, afterwards the First Division), and at Spotsylvania, May 12th, was engaged in the hardest fighting of its whole experience. It lost that day, 17 killed, 108 wounded, and 19 missing; total, 144. On June 18, 1864, it part

More than two hundred were enrolled in the Association, and the movement was heartily seconded by the field, staff, and line officers. Colonel Colquitt, Major Spears, Quartermaster Leonard, and others, gave aid and counsel to the chaplain. Among the troops at Columbus, Miss., a work of much interest began, which was interrupted in its progress by their removal to Jackson. The chaplain laboring there, Rev. W. H. Smith, sent forth an earnest call to the home Churches for help. Brethren! ministers! are you asleep? Do you not hear the cries of your countrymen calling to you from every part of the land? The soldiers feel their need of salvation, and are crying for the gospel! And will you withhold it from them? Awake! arise! gird yourselves with the whole armor of God, and come forth to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. An officer of the 5th Georgia regiment, stati

Cridlin, after having visited all the encampments between Aquia Creek and Matthias Point, has been transferred to Norfolk city, where he is selling some sixty dollars worth of books a month, besides giving away one-half that amount. Says he: "I visited Craney Island last Saturday; Col. Smith, who has charge of the forces there, is a pious man, and has prayers with his men every night. He seemed glad to have me labor among his command, and will doubtless render me any aid I may need." Mr. M. D. Anderson writes from Aquia Creek: "I have gone nearly through the regiments stationed between Fredericksburg and the Creek.
