way, he looked up and said, Heaven is so sweet to me; and to the presence of Jesus he went. Another from South Carolina seemed very happy, and sung with great delight, Happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away. Young B——, of Virginia, was resigned and even rejoiced at the near prospect of death. He repeated the line. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord. His end was peace. One of these young men had determined to enter the Christian ministry. The scene described by Rev. Mr. Crumley, as he distributed among the soldiers, after one of the Maryland campaigns, the supplies sent forward by the Georgia Relief Association, one of the noblest institutions of the war, is truthful and touching: After leaving Warrenton, I visited the wounded in private houses around the battle-field, where I very narrowly escaped being taken prisoner by the Yankees. In Winchester I found thousands of the wounded from Maryland crowded into churches, hotels, private houses and tents, in

ling balm on their bleeding hearts. Never were stronger proofs given of the sustaining and comforting power of religion than during this terrible war, which stripped our homes of loved ones, our land of plenty, our hearts of joy, and left us nothing to fall back upon in our sufferings and humiliation but the promises of God, who poured out His Spirit so richly upon our soldiers in all the hardships of the march and in all the unutterable anguish that followed our great battles. Rev. Wm. M. Crumley, of Georgia, whose labors in connection with the Georgia Relief Association were so widely useful and so warmly appreciated, published during the war a tract, entitled, A Soldier's Bible, of which I circulated in the camps a great many copies. I am glad to be able to reproduce it here, as I find it preserved in Dr. Bennett's Great Revival. It is as follows: Among the multiplicity of knapsacks, haversacks, bundles, and old clothes, stored in one of the baggage-rooms of a hospital

saints of the Lord. His end was peace. One of these young men had determined to enter the Christian ministry. While many engaged in these works of mercy in the hospitals, others toiled at home as earnestly for the benefit of the soldiers, who were supplied with socks and gloves almost wholly by the busy fingers of their sisters, wives and mothers. And when these welcome contributions arrived in camp, what blessings were invoked on our fair benefactors! The scene described by Rev. Mr. Crumley, as he distributed among the soldiers, after one of the Maryland campaigns, the supplies sent forward by the Georgia Relief Association, one of the noblest institutions of the war, is truthful and touching: After leaving Warrenton, I visited the wounded in private houses around the battle-field, where I very narrowly escaped being taken prisoner by the Yankees.

perspiration, terminating in typhoid fever. The regiment being on the retreat, and doing picket duty, there was but little accommodation for the sick. He fell behind, and a Presbyterian clergyman said he saw him lying by the road on the wet ground, where the mud was splashed on him by the passing army. He was taken up and sent to Richmond in a delirious state. Not being able to express his desires, he was not sent to the Georgia hospital. He was calm, patient, and resigned, says Rev. Mr. Crumley, who was with him in his last hours, and expressed himself as having given all up into the hands of God, and could say, Thy will be done. When a little dreamy, he would say, My dear Jane, don't grieve after me-all is for the best. Then he would call, Jessie, come Jessie, and let me kiss you-be a good child. On Sabbath morning, having lain some time quiet, facing my window that commands a beautiful landscape on the James river full of fishing smacks, and beyond, the green whea

us services. Among the episodes of this period of the war, there are few more touching than one that furnished the ground work for a tract written by the Rev. William M. Crumley, of Georgia, and widely circulated among the soldiers with the happiest results. Mr. Crumley was one of the most faithful and untiring chaplains that lMr. Crumley was one of the most faithful and untiring chaplains that labored in our armies. Thousands yet living remember with grateful hearts the self-sacrificing devotion of this excellent minister. He was chaplain of the Georgia hospitals at Richmond, but did not confine his labors to the city; on every battle-field where the army of Northern Virginia fought, and bled, and won, he was found, wiin the midst of a great civil war, that moves to their utmost depths the best and worst passions of human nature. But we will not longer keep the reader from Mr. Crumley's narrative: Among the multiplicity of knapsacks, haversacks, bundles, and old clothes, stored in one of the baggage rooms of a hospital in Richmond, I fo

rnestly seeking salvation. Rev. W. C. Dunlap, in thanking the editor of the Southern Christian Advocate for reading matter furnished the soldiers, says of the general fast day: Last Friday will never be forgotten by this brigade (Anderson's). The day before had been cold and raining, and, lest the next day should be as bad, many prayers were offered for a good day, which were answered, for we had one of remarkable brightness and beauty. The chaplains of our brigade had invited Bro. Crumley — a man universally beloved — to preach for us. Generals Hood and Anderson, with their staffs, were present. The music was helped out by the band and Bro. C. preached a most appropriate sermon to a large and very attentive congregation. After the service, many retired to the woods and held prayer-meetings. There were like services on this day elsewhere. Rev. W. H. Simmons preached to General Toombs' brigade, and had an interesting meeting. Our meetings are still carried on with profit.

antry (Hardeman's) during the Appomattox campaign was commanded by Maj. Charles J. Moffit, formerly captain of Company A. George W. Ross preceded Moffit as major, W. T. Ross became captain of Company A, W. F. Walker of Company B, and C. R. Redding of Company C.

Phillips. The captains were: (A) Wm. M. Crumley, (B) Garnet McMillan (C) W. E. Simmons, (E) J. F. Martin. This battalion after being sent to Virginia was assigned to Wofford's brigade. After Gettysburg it accompanied Longstreet to Georgia and was engaged in the East Tennessee campaign under that general. It nobly illustrated Georgia during the Overland campaign of 1864, and in the battles, skirmishes and hardships of the trenches through the long weary months of the fall and winter following, and participated in the campaign which
