ceived two thousand pairs of stocking from Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis, one thousand collected in ten days,--votive offerings for our regiment. Some of them were from the young ladies at Professor Agassiz's school, at Cambridge; and these were like the world when it was without form and void. Some were from Campton Village, in New Hampshire, with names of knitters stitched on them, and they were of colors red, white, and blue; and there were prizes in them, pin-cushions, needle-cases, Life of Havelock, the real Christian soldier, moral tracts, and much that tended to make the knapsack heavier on many a weary march. Poor fellows! how many were to struggle onward under that weary load, at last to expose to some stranger's eye the little Bible, or the dear letter, or the loving token from a home the soldier never more should gaze upon! Friend or foe, whoever he may be, the heart will ache for such in sympathy. Said an Indiana colonel to me at this camp, Some of my boys shot some of the

I have read it with intense interest, and have enjoyed the way in which it is done, and the sentiment which enters into it, as well as the subject. It has revived in my mind the tragedy of 1857, when British empire in India was thought by many to be more doubtful than ours in the slave States. I recall a pleasant interview with Lady Havelock at Harrow, who told me that she had put aside among unopened parcels a present from the United States for her husband, reserving it for her children; and she dwelt with emotion on the flags at half-mast in New York when the news of his death was received. But I doubt if history will attach to British supremacy in India an importance and sacredness comparable with the cause of antislavery, now imperilled from England.

forth a faithful and full view of the religion of the Confederate army. The present writer honestly believes that history presents no accurate or ample parallel. The stern piety and invincible principles of Cromwell and his forces in war with Charles 1 of England are freely admitted and much admired, but they had no such happy influence on men and communities as the tender and refining power of the faith of the Confederate soldiers had on them and this country. The religious devotion of Havelock, John and Henry Lawrence, Chinese Gordon, and other great English heroes, was circumscribed too greatly by conditions to produce anything like a national result in India and elsewhere. Even our own revolutionary fathers, while led by the wisdom, the patience, the faith and constancy of George Washington, to whom the world is indebted for American freedom and institutions, left us no such general record of religious fervor and faith in God as had their grand illustration in the armies of th

justice to the soldier. The whole force of modern society is given to the accumulation of wealth. The soldier never accumulates. It was contended that the time of the soldier had passed. This is not true. All civilization is born of the blood of the soldier and founded on the bullet and the sword. The Christian civilization is iron-bound and will be until the millennium. The contrary idea was a false representation of the Christian religion. The speaker showed how Sir Philip Sidney, Havelock, Chinese Gordon, Jackson, Lee, and others were not anomalies, but the development of the soldier-life, and drew a striking picture of General Johnston—the soldierly type. Infinite and absolute courage. He was, Major Stiles said, the embodiment of infinite and absolute courage. There was as much courage and nobility in his small frame as could have been packed in that of a man of six feet six inches. The life of the soldier was, said Major Stiles, service.

States army. When it did come, he showed the self-command of Washington and Wellington, and will live with them their equals in history. He showed the power of quick combination and dash of Napoleon without his ambition, the steady endurance and personal popularity of Caesar without the suspicion of turning ambitious arms against his country and his home. He showed the genius of Alexander without his desire of conquest, for he fought only to defend the right. He showed all the piety of Havelock, while like the patriot Cincinnatus, he at length sheathed his sword and went back to the plow-handle of private life to teach the sons of his old soldiers lessons of peace. With rapid strategic movements after defeating the army of one hundred thousand men under McClellan before Richmond and hurling the boasting Pope and his great army into the defenses around Washington, he moved the besieging army from the beleagured Confederate capitol, and concentrated the enemy's forces to the defens

fifty wounded, and that his superior artillery broke the masses of the effeminate foe, we see how ridiculous it is to compare such exploits to the great movements of the Confederate war, and how ridiculous it would be to rank their heroes as military commanders with the leaders of such armies as those of Lee, Grant, Early, or Sheridan. What matters it to the wolves how many the sheep be? And how can a romp of the wolves among the cattle be compared to the combats of lions? Would you say Havelock? Christian gentleman, gallant officer, true hero, I admit, but only a little Clive, a brigadier general who fought the same manner of men and overlaid them with superiority of every kind. Would you say Charles George Gordon, Chinese Gordon, as they call him, who was only a captain of engineers in the Crimean War, and who, while we were fighting in the Confederacy, was helping the Emperor of China to suppress the Taiping rebellion, and who was finally killed in the Soudan by a handful of A

ew. Like the march of soundless music Through the vision of the seer, More of feeling than of hearing, Of the heart than of the ear, She knew the droning pibroch, She knew the Campbell's call: “Hark! hear ye no MacGregor's, The grandest oa them all!” Oh, they listened, dumb and breathless, And they caught the sound at last; Faint and far beyond the Goomtee Rose and fell the piper's blast! Then a burst of wild thanksgiving Mingled woman's voice and man's; “God be praised!—the march of Havelock! The piping of the clans!” Louder, nearer, fierce as vengeance, Sharp and shrill as swords at strife, Came the wild MacGregor's clan-call, Stinging all the air to life. But when the far-off dust-cloud To plaided legions grew, Full tenderly and blithesomely The pipes of rescue blew! Round the silver domes of Lucknow, Moslem mosque and Pagan shrine, Breathed the air to Britons dearest, The air of Auld Lang Syne. O'er the cruel roll of war-drums Rose that sweet and homelike strain; And t

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from the Camp at Ashland. Camp Ashland, Hanover co., Va., May 12, 1861. Among the troops encamped here are the following companies: Cavalry.--Governor's Guard; Chesterfield, company B; Hanover Troop; Henrico Troop; Amelia Light Dragoons. Infantry--Young Guard, Richmond; Chatham Grays, company A; Halifax Light Guard; Mount Vernon Guard; Chesterfield Central Guard. Riflemen.--Old Dominion Rifles, Bedford Rifle Greys. From an observation of the troops concentrated here, I can say that a finer body of men can nowhere be found. I recognize many smiling faces from Richmond, and have been happy to meet with many an old friend. The gusto with which they partake of the cool spring water is astonishing. Havelock.
