e seen scores of instances in which the reading of tracts had been instrumental in the conversion of souls. Yesterday, going up Main street, I was hailed by a soldier sitting on the pavement, Parson, don't you know me? Under God I owe everything to you. While languishing in the hospital you gave me a tract, Christ found at the lamp post, which has brought joy and peace to my soul. If God spare me to go home, I expect to devote my life to the public proclamation of the gospel. Rev. Joseph H. Martin wrote from Knoxville: While I was opening a box of tracts a soldier said, Some of those tracts were given to our regiment at Chattanooga, and never before in my life have I seen such an effect on men. Many have given up swearing, and I among the number, through the influence of these silent but powerful preachers. Rev. Mi. D. Anderson says: I met a young man wounded, and began to talk with him on religion. He said, O sir, don't you remember that at the camp-meeting at-- you spo

August 9th.—Awoke this morning at Knoxville. Went to market and bought chickens for thirty-five cents apiece. Breakfasted at the Bell House. Sunday, August 10th.—On guard last night. Attended preaching at the Presbyterian Church and listened to a sermon from my old friend and former pastor, the Rev. Joseph H. Martin. The good man took bodily possession of me, carried me home with him, and sat me down to a good, plain Sunday dinner. Five years ago he received me into the communion of the church and was my pastor during my brief sojourn in this place. The cloud of war had not gathered over our country then, and neither of us dreamed of our meeting again in this place under the present circumstances. But here he is still at his post preaching the gospel of peace, and here I am at my post as a

A day in the hospitals. The following letter from the Rev. Joseph H. Martin, a Presbyterian clergyman, who is laboring in the hospitals at Knoxville, Tenn., gives a very interesting account of the religious condition of our sick'soldiers. The letter is addressed to Rev. A E. Dickinson, of this city, by whose society Mr. Martin is supplied with tracts: I passed through the hospitals to day, distributing tracts, and will give you brief account of what occurred, while they are fresh iMr. Martin is supplied with tracts: I passed through the hospitals to day, distributing tracts, and will give you brief account of what occurred, while they are fresh in my memory. I was particularly pleased with the evidences of conversion afforded by a young man. Approaching his bedside, I inquired, "Are you a Christian?" He replied, "I am not a member of the Church" I said, "Have you experienced a change of heart? Do you love God?" He said he thought he had undergone a change since he had entered the hospital. He continued, "I love God and his people. I love sinners and mourn over their sins, and at times feel moved to remonstrate with them Some listen

The Marietta Confederacy gives some intelligence from Knoxville since its occupation by the enemy: From a gentleman of high standing who arrived here last evening from East Tennessee, we learn that the Yankees have arrested a number of citizens and imprisoned them in the common jail. Among the prisoners are the Rev. Mr. Harrison, of the Old School Presbyterians; Rev. Jos. H. Martin, of the Presbyterian United Synod, and a quiet, in offensive citizen named Collin, of the Rockford factory. The crime of these gentlemen is patriotism, loyalty to the land of their birth, their residence and their affections. The ministers in question did not hide their lights under a bushel, but were outspoken and demonstrative in their patriotism. We have heard their hold denunciation of Yankee wrongs and domestic treason and disloyalty, and their exhortations to their countr
