A Singular Prophecy.

--The following circumstance recently occurred at Pensacola, and its truth is vouched for by a reliable officer of the army;

A soldier in the Confederate service fell into a long and profound steep, from which his comrades vainly enslaved to arouse him At last he woke up himself. He then stated that he should die the next afternoon at 4 o'clock, for it was so revealed to him in his dream — He said in the last week of the month of April would be fought the greatest and bloodiest battle of modern times, and that early in May peace would break upon the land more suddenly and unexpectedly than the war had done in the beginning. The first part of the prophetic dream has been realized for the soldier died the next day at 4 P. M. Will the rest be in April and May? Let believers in dreams wait and see.--Mobile Advertiser.
