vited to remain with us another year. The Executive Committee were instructed to confer with the proprietors of the Smith Estate in regard to the land which they had kindly offered to donate to the society to build upon, and to report at the adjourned meeting. Mr. John H. Norton repeated his munificent offer to build a church provided the materials were furnished, and there seem to be good grounds for believing that this much needed enterprise will now go forward to completion. Messrs. J. W. Wilson, E. W. Cross, and S. S. Leavitt were selected as a committee to solicit subscriptions to maintain preaching during the coming year. Mr. Leavitt was re-elected Treasurer. The meeting was adjourned to next Monday evening. We recall that Mr. Leavitt began his duty at once by asking each one present, How much will you do for the cause of the Lord this year? and made note of their replies. There was considerable interest manifested at first in the project. Several meetings were

The Secretary recommends an appropriation to be made by Congress, to be applied, when the public exigencies demand, to the reconstruction and equipment of railroads, and for the expense of maintenance and operating them, and also for the construction, as the army advances, of additional telegraph lines and their appurtenances, and also a special appropriation for the reconstruction of the Long Bridge across the Potomac, which is now a military necessity. The rest of the Secretary's report consists of a statement of the number and condition of the arms in the possession of the Government, and the means employed for obtaining a further supply, the document concluding with a recommendation of the appointment of an Assistant Secretary of War, (provided for by one of Mr. Wilson's bills,) and a general increase of the clerical force of the department.

"Bowman was one of a guard detailed by the Captain to arrest and bring to the camp W. D. Wilson, (the man who was shot,) and several others who had absented themselves without permission. When first seen, Wilson was endeavoring t
