help. Other faithful preachers should be sent to aid in the great work of those already gone. On the march, in the hospital, and on the tented field-at all times and in every place-these men of God should be with our brave soldiers. The action of other Churches was equally prompt and efficient. The Baptist Board of Domestic Missions set the sister Churches a noble example. At the General Convention, twenty-six missionaries were reported as laborers in the army-one in Florida; two in Alabama and North Carolina, respectively; three in South Carolina; four in Mississippi, Georgia, and Virginia, respectively; and six in Tennessee-and the Board determined to increase the number to the extent of men and means offering. These missionaries moved from camp to camp, and sometimes accompanied the troops on long marches, conversing with the men, distributing tracts, Testaments, religious papers, holding meetings for prayer and exhortation, and preaching as they found it convenient.

and Vicksburg were fiercely assailed, with serious damage to the Federals and with little loss to the Confederates. In Tennessee, Gen. Van Dorn greatly annoyed the Northern Generals by his swift and sudden movements against their forces in the neigmp. The signs from other portions of the army in the West and Southwest were equally cheering. Along the lines in East Tennessee the revival began to spread with great power. Rev. W. B. Norris, writing from Loudon, Tenn., says: During the ry convenience for religious worship — a large arbor with seats and stands for fire. Since we have been transferred to Tennessee we have resumed our nightly meetings, either in quarters or upon some neighboring hill, where the shade is good, and whh Carolina, respectively; three in South Carolina; four in Mississippi, Georgia, and Virginia, respectively; and six in Tennessee-and the Board determined to increase the number to the extent of men and means offering.

for the better. Rev. T. C. Stanley, to whom we have already referred, reported favorably from the 46th Georgia regiment. More than two hundred were enrolled in the Association, and the movement was heartily seconded by the field, staff, and line officers. Colonel Colquitt, Major Spears, Quartermaster Leonard, and others, gave aid and counsel to the chaplain. Among the troops at Columbus, Miss., a work of much interest began, which was interrupted in its progress by their removal to Jackson. The chaplain laboring there, Rev. W. H. Smith, sent forth an earnest call to the home Churches for help. Brethren! ministers! are you asleep? Do you not hear the cries of your countrymen calling to you from every part of the land? The soldiers feel their need of salvation, and are crying for the gospel! And will you withhold it from them? Awake! arise! gird yourselves with the whole armor of God, and come forth to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. A

Such a scene might often have been witnessed last summer, while we were pleasantly camped near Columbus, Miss. Since that time, we have marched many a weary mile, and seen much severe service in the camp and on the bloody field. Our good Colonel fell mortally wounded in the attempt to storm Corinth, and found a soldier's grave near the memorable fi

We found General Ector's Texas brigade, and Colonel Vance's brigade, of North Carolina and Georgia troops, concentrated in a glade of rough rocks and gloomy cedars.

It was a grand sight to behold such a vast assemblage, seated upon the rugged rocks, to listen eagerly to the words of life. These were the heroic soldiers, once led in the far West by the ill-fated Ben. McCullough, in the battles of Missouri, and they have since distinguished themselves at Farmington, near Corinth, Richmond, Ky., and Murfreesboro, Tenn. Gallant sons of the Lone Star State are seated with the soldiers from the Empire and Old North States, who fought bravely beside them in the late bloody conflict of Murfreesboro. While all listened so attentively, I could but contrast the scene with the bloody charge made by the same men when the gallant General Rains fell upon a spot very similar to our preaching place. The theme of the preacher was: Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap, and strong

n to this part of the field, as they did indeed with self-sacrificing zeal to every portion of the army. There are three Baptist ministers, says Mr. Johnston, acting as general chaplains, colporteurs, &c., within and around this city. They are giving their whole time to the distribution of Testaments, tracts, and Baptist periodicals, and to the preaching of the word. But few of any other denomination were laboring at this time in this portion of the army. Of the forces stationed at Cumberland Gap, Rev. A. M. Jones, chaplain of the 55th Georgia, writes: Having no house of worship, and the weather being very inclement and unpleasant, I have done very little preaching, but am endeavoring to do all the good I can by visiting the sick and procuring religious reading for the soldiers. Yesterday morning the mail brought us one hundred copies of the Southern Christian Advocate, which gives about ten to each company. With joy they were received, and with pleasure distributed among the

Awake! arise! gird yourselves with the whole armor of God, and come forth to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. An officer of the 5th Georgia regiment, stationed at Bridgeport, Tenn., sent back home his appeal: Our regiment now numbers about 650, and these men have not heard a sermon in five months. What a thought! Who is to blame? The men? I think not. The officers? No. Who then? The ministry or the Christians at home. I have done all in my power to secure the services of some minister to preach for us, but have, so far, entirely failed. Our regiment is composed mostly of young men, many of them, at home, members of the Church-Christians; and shall i
