army were many mere youths, and among these there were found not a few rare instances of earnest piety maintained amidst all the evils and temptations of camp life. The following illustrative incident occurred under the ministrations of Rev. Dr. John C. McCabe, one of the post chaplains at Richmond: One day, in making his usual visitations, Dr. McCabe called in at the Maryland hospital, Richmond, and in making his rounds, was attracted to the bed of a young and delicate boy, suffering fDr. McCabe called in at the Maryland hospital, Richmond, and in making his rounds, was attracted to the bed of a young and delicate boy, suffering from the effects of protracted fever. The little fellow had seen only fourteen summers, and his thin, pale face bore marks of disease and suffering. The following occurred, as reported by the chaplain: How old are you, my son? said the reverend gentleman. I was fourteen my last birthday. Why, that is very young to be in the army? Yes, sir; but I thought it my duty. Where are you from? Mississippi, sir. What is your name? Dwight Sherwood. Why, that is a Nor

the Astor House until yesterday afternoon, when they were turned over to the custody of the United States Marshal, who will consign them to Fort Lafayette. The offence of these ministers was that in the Sunday service they had omitted the prayer for the President of the United States. The following scene is a specimen of what occurred in many parts of the South under Federal rule: As the Rev. H. R. Smith, of Leesburg, Va., came from the pulpit, after the usual Sabbath services, Capt. McCabe, one of Mr. Lincoln's officials, arrested him for disloyalty, objecting to his sermon, his prayer, and chapter read from the Bible. The sermon was written, and, on examination, they were constrained to withdraw their charge against it. But you did not pray for the President of the United States? Mr. Smith replied, No, sir, I prayed, as the Bible directs, for all in authority, and if you consider Mr. Lincoln your President you could join in that prayer. Well, the captain found that he m

The Charlottesville companies were full, and these, joined by the West Augusta Guard, who arrived about 10 ½ P. M., swelled the number of soldiers to near five hundred men, sent on a service both of danger and honor.

Interesting lecture, to-night. --Rev. John C. McCabe, D. D., late of Baltimore, (whence he was driven for declining to pray for the President of the United States,) will to-night deliver the second of the series of lectures heretofore announced. The proceeds will be devoted to the amelioration in some degree of the sufferings of the inhabitants of Hampton, and the lecture will be delivered at the Broad street Methodist Church, corner of 10th street. That it will be an intellectual entertainment of a high order, we have every assurance. The lecturer, besides possessing eminent abilities, has many claims to the favor of a Richmond audience. If the church is not crowded to-night, it should be, at any rate. Other gentlemen, of acknowledged literary powers and acquirements, follow in the above good work on each Thursday night till the course is completed.

Assault and battery. --Thomas Collier and Mike Walsh alias Nelson, were yesterday arraigned before the Mayor for assaulting and beating, a few days since, T. V. Ramos, a Portuguese barber, living on Main street. The Rev. John C. McCabe testified that the day on which the difficulty occurred he was walking in the direction of the basin, at the foot of 9th street, when he was met by Ramos running towards him, appealing for protection from a party of young men who were in close pursuit. He (the witness) expostulated and told them it was a pity to beat an old man like that, more especially as he was a cripple. Walsh replied, "D — n you, I'll strike you." McC.'s reply was, "I am a clergyman, sir," whereupon the same party said he "didn't care who he was." The witness then replied that he (Walsh) was a "cowardly scoundrel." Ramos was after wards kicked and cuffed about considerably, until an officer arrived and took the attacking party in custody. There being-no positive evidence t
