niform currency throughout the Confederate States is of the highest importance. I there fore submit the question for your consideration for such action as, in your opinion, the general welfare demands. By the --section of the act of the 6th May, 1861, it is made the duty of the Governor to issue bonds of the State for the purpose of raising a fund with which to defray the expenses of the provisional army of the State. In view of a scarcity of a circulating medium and the probable difficule extent of three-fifths of the amount authorized to be issued, in lieu of that amount of said bonds; and that the same, when issued, be made receivable by the State in payment of all taxes or Government dues. In obedience to your act of 6th May, 1861, I have caused to be organized, armed and equipped, twenty-one regiments of infantry, now in the field, ten artillery companies in progress of organization, and a sufficient number of cavalry companies to compose one regiment. The organizatio

To the Editors of the Dispatch: Having been for some days visiting the camps and hospitals with a view of supplying them with suitable reading matter, I will write a few lines giving some account of the religious condition, of the army, and place them at your disposal. There are about three thousand in the hospitals of this city, and others are being brought here from more exposed paints. It is the purpose of the an horrifies to establish hospitals at Liberty and Farmville. Several hundred sick soldiers are already in these two towne. The hospitals, offered a most inviting field for religious effort. The solemn quiet and the serious reflections which pervade the soul of the sick soldier, who, far away from home and friends, spends so many hours in communing with his own heart, is very conducive of religious improvement. An invalid remarked that during the month he had been at the hospital he ha

Thus, intimately connected with an organization neither sectarian nor sectional in its character, it seemed not inappropriate that from our Association, located in the capital of a central and conservative State, should emanate one last, honest, and earnest effort to dispel those gloomy portents. Accordingly, on the 6th of May, 1861, a circular, signed by the present and two of the previous presidents of our Association, was prepared printed, and addressed to the Young Men's, Christian Associations of North America.--To this peace offering responses were received from some Associations in the Northern States. They did not breathe the spirit for which we had hoped and prayed. Several of them were respectful, while others outraged the rules of common courtesy. The stern reality of war burst upon as an summoned
