New publications for soldiers. --Rev. A. E. Dickinson, Superintendent of Army Colportage, has placed upon our desk the following tracts recently published by the Colportage Board in this city, in conjunction with Rev.

"The French Soldier, from a letter of M. De Presences, of Paris," and "Call to Prayer." Though we have not been able to read these new tracts, we have no hesitancy in recommending them.

o began a prayer meeting, and now religious services are being carried on every day and night, and many are becoming interested in religious matters. All this, my informant states, is due to the Testaments which were sent out, for till then no such effort had been made or thought of. In order to supply all the soldiers on the seacoast, I am now visiting prominent points and establishing depositories. We have one now at each of the following cities: Wilmington, Mobile, Montgomery, and Savannah. The soldiers are invited, "without money and without price," to call at these depositories and supply themselves with religious reading, and all who have a heart to labor as tract distributors are invited to supply themselves on the same terms. At Charleston I received $1,650, at Wilmington $206.78, at Greenville, S. O., $269.75, at Columbia, S. O., $390, and liberal amounts are being handed me by the friends of the cause in this city. A.

The Military bill The bill reported from the joint committee "to raise troops to meet the requisition on Virginia by the President of the Confederate States," was taken up for consideration. Mr. Johnson (Mr. Dickinson, of Prince Edward, in the chair) said that the quote called for by the President's requisition amounted to 65,800 men. The committee had been informed by the Secretary of War that 1,500 troops now in the field had already reenlisted for the war — thus leaving 64,300 to be raised. It was within the bounds of probability that from 27,000 to 28,000 would re-enlist.

The committee assumed that the bill, in its present form, by giving an opportunity for tr
