The lesson for the day on which the grape series of battles began that raised the siege of Richmond, was the 19th chapter of 24 Kings, when the King of Amyria with beestings equal to these of McClellan, has beleaguered with a vast army and the King of Judah is in great alarm lest the city should be taken. The whole chapter is well worth reading. We extract the following verses for their singular appropriateness. Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the King of Assyria. He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot arrow therein, nor come before it with shields, nor east a bank against it. By the way he came, by the same shall he turn, and shall not come into this city saith the Lord. For I will defend the city to save it," &c. "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out , and smote in the camp of the Assyrisus an hundred four score and five them. send." "So King of Assyria departed and went and returned."
