I doubt, he adds, if the annals of war ever witnessed such another solemn scene. Lynchburg, August 21, 1862. Messrs. Editors: For two weeks meetings have been held in the Baptist church here, and many indications of the Divine presence and blessing have been enjoyed. Thus far seven have been received into the Church. Rev. J. L. Johnson is one of the chaplains at this post, and is laboring with great zeal and efficiency. Brother G. C. Trevillian has been for some months our regular colporter to the hospitals here. There are at least 4,000 sick and wounded, and a few weeks may bring as many more, as this is one of the principal points to which the wounded of the great army near Gordonsville are brought. At Lovingston, in Nelson, the government is establishing hospitals; there are now about a thousand at that point

Reader, think of these noble men as you gather around your wellspread board, imitate their example towards the needy in your midst and reduce your rations that you may help to increase their scant fare. Happening in Lynchburg the other day I visited the Soldiers' Library, established by the efficient post chaplain (Brother J. L. Johnson), and was very much pleased with its arrangement and management. It is supplied with about eight hundred volumes of religious and miscellaneous books, a large number of pamphlets, weekly issues of all the religious papers published in the South, a number of secular papers, etc. It has a claim for contributions of money and books upon the friends of the soldier in every State since State lines are not thought of in distributing its benefits. I met also Brother A. Broadus, who is w

Dr. Peterskin, of St. James'; and Rev. Dr. T. G. Dashiells, of St. Mark's. Among other post-chaplains in the State who did efficient service, I recall the names of Rev. Dr. Geo. B.

C. H. Boggs, Ninth Virginia Cavalry; and Rev. R. T. Davis, of the Sixth Virginia Cavalry. Let me say again, that any worthy nam

The bounty to be paid to volunteers for three years service was fixed at one hundred and twenty-five dollars. Eight thousand dollars were appropriated to refund money voluntarily paid by citizens to encourage enlistments to

of the war. After a peculiarly fatiguing embarkation and night voyage, the regiment reached Folly Island at 9 A. M. on the 18th of June, had a toilsome march along the beaches until 2 P. M., and crossing the inlet of Morris Island reported to General Strong at 5 P. M. They had no rations, had had no food that day and little sleep for two nights, and in this condition were placed at the head of a night attack on Fort Wagner. For a Confederate account of the attack on Fort Wagner, see Maj. John Johnson's Defence of Charleston Harbor, p. 93. His appendix gives the official reports of Union officers.
