e guess one point and some another; all are in good spirits and hope for some grand result from this extraordinary campaign of Gen. Hood. Time will prove the wisdom of the move; or, if a failure, no one doubts that it is a bold and extraordinary measure to check the enemy. Such has been the rapidity of our marches that we have had scarcely any opportunity for religious services. Many of the chaplains and missionaries accompany the troops and preach when circumstances justify it. At Jacksonville, Ala., we had an interesting season; we had preaching several nights in succession; several penitents at the altar, and four were added to the Church. Except a short detention there, we have been on the march almost constantly since the middle of September. When the army goes into winter quarters, if we can have convenient places for worship, we expect a rich harvest of souls. The marches and privations of this army were really wonderful, and yet were endured with the greatest heroism.
