They went to the pastor's study, and had a long intervdelicacy and promptitude. Again, he called one evening to say to Dr. White, that in the sermon preached the preceding Sabbath, he had not ben, by the elders of the church, or other experienced Christians. Dr. White took occasion, in his Sabbath instructions, to enforce the advant invitation was not repeated for a number of weeks, when, meeting Dr. White, he noted that fact, and indicated that he supposed the motive foes of Christianity led him, on his return to Lexington, to ask of Dr. White leave to collect a class of young men for the study of this subjeing domestic worship.

kson had become a Christian some time before; but it was not until the 22d of November, 1851, that he made public profession of religion and united with the Presbyterian Church in Lexington, then under the care of the venerable and beloved Rev. Dr. W. S. White, whose death in 1871 was so widely lamented. The following incident, which was given me by Dr. White, not only illustrates his Christian character, but gives the key-note to his whole life. Not very long after his connection with theed one day at the post-office in Lexington, anxiously awaiting the opening of the mail, that they might get the particulars concerning the great battle which they had heard had been fought. The venerable pastor of the Presbyterian Church (Rev. Dr. W. S. White, from whom I received the incident) was of the company, and soon had handed him a letter which he recognized as directed in Jackson's well-known handwriting. Now, said he, we will have the news! Here is a letter from General Jackson hims

Dr. W. S. White, then pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Lexington, Virginia. The sketch of his leaving home for the army is given in full, as it well illustrates the spirit not only of this noble young man, but of thousands of others of our Boys in y known and loved young men in the State, was in command of the famous old Stonewall Brigade, which had the year before won its name and immortal fame on these historic plains.

he enemy were within one hundred and fifty yards of our handful of men before we discovered them. Their column extended half round our encampment. They began firing on us before any considerable portion of our men knew they were present. Lt.-Colonel White was present on the occasion, and the night previous he cautioned me to have the mountain, &c., well picketed, which was faithfully carried out on my part. Our little force retreated after emptying the contents of their guns into the raof an Indiana regiment, and a cavalry battalion; these had left Cumberland Ford with four day's rations, and made a forced march to Jacksboro'. The whole force amounted to about 1,500. They retired from Jacksboro' on Saturday. They had Lieutenant-Colonel White of our cavalry, and Captain Winston of the Sappers and Miners, prisoners. This is probably the same force that, according to our correspondents, some eight or ten days ago exhibited themselves in view of our garrison at Cumberland G

We are indebted to Sergeant William S. White, a gallant member of the third company of Richmond Howitzers, for a copy of the New York Herald of the 27th. There is hardly a word in the Herald about the recent movement of Grant's army. A Washington dispatch says that arrangements are "in process of execution which insure the early capture of Richmond." In the same telegram it is announced that the next news from Sheridan will bring the intelligence of the capture of Early's army; but, unfortunately for the truth of this statement, the "next news" they got in Washington was the fact that Sheridan was retreating down the Valley with Early after him. The following in. Stanton's official Dispatch:War Department,Washington, district of Columbia,September 26--10:30 A. M. Major-General Dix: Dispatches from General Sheridan up to eleven o'clock on Saturday night, dated six miles south of New Market, have been received. He had driven the enemy from Mount Jackson withou
