of our army, and many of our preachers felt it their duty to go to the front, accompanied by the very flower of their young men. Of the first four companies from Georgia to arrive in Virginia, three of the captains were earnest, Christian men, and fifty of one of the companies were members of the same church. A regiment, statione friends in the course of the war, may be led to earnest prayer in asking protection for others or consolation for themselves. In Colonel Ector's regiment from Georgia there are fourteen ministers: one Methodist, one Primitive Baptist and twelve Missionary Baptists. A correspondent of the North Carolina Presbyterian states thndreds of the men bow down together at the same altar and cry unto our common Father. Says the Southern Presbyterian: It was remarked by a distinguished son of Georgia, lately a member of Congress, now an officer in our army, in a public address to the citizens of a neighboring town, that when the war commenced he had many fears

It may be some consolation in your bereavement to know that your son was highly esteemed by the officers and students of the college, and that this whole community unite in sorrow at his untimely death. May God in His mercy support you under this grievous trial, and give you that peace which, as it passeth all understanding, so nothing in this world can diminish or destroy it. On the death of Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, he wrote the following letter to his wife: Lexington, Virginia, February 21, 1867. My Dear Mrs. Elliott: It would be in vain for me to attempt to express my grief at your great affliction. In common with the whole country, I mourn the death of him whom for more than a quarter of a century I have admired, loved and venerated, and whose loss to the church and society, where his good offices were so important, I can never expect to see supplied. You have my deepest sympathy, and m

left behind the record of a noble life, and a simple trust in Christ—the prophecy of a blissful immortality, where charging squadrons and clashing sabres never disturb the rest that remaineth for the people of God. General John B. Gordon, of Georgia (now governor of that grand old Commonwealth), who rose from the captaincy of a company to command the remnant of the old Stonewall corps, and to win a reputation as one of the most brilliant soldiers which the war produced, was one of the most e Cross. I close by telling you, that in the last few weeks nearly two hundred in this single brigade have been added to the different churches. Yours, etc., J. B. Gordon. Let us hope that this gallant and accomplished soldier, whom Georgia has honored with a seat in the United States Senate and now as governor of the Commonwealth, may be in this high position as outspoken for Christ, and may exert as decided a religious influence as he used to do among his ragged boys in the camp!

ad, he had read the unvarnished statement of a Richmond paper, which brought the blush of shame to the friends of the country. He doubted its truth, but after travelling the length of the country he was convinced of its truth, and had arrived at the conclusion that drunkenness was the vice of the country. An army surgeon, writing to the Richmond Dispatch respecting the prevalence of drunkenness in the army, says: I was greatly astonished to find soldiers in Virginia, whom I had known in Georgia as sober, discreet citizens, members of different Churches, some deacons and official members, even preachers, in the daily and constant habit of drinking whiskey for their health. The chaplain of the Twenty-third North Carolina Regiment writes from the camp between Union Mills and Centreville to the Biblical Recorder: . . . If we ever meet with a defeat in this army, it will be in consequence of drunkenness. Young men that never drank at home are using spirits freely in camp. I fear t
