rent Churches, a number of others had professed conversion, and the altar was still crowded with penitents. I like the way they do there in reference to young converts. Every day or so the doors of the Church are opened, and an opportunity given to all to join the Church of their choice by relating their experience and being baptized (if they desire it). But I must hasten to a close—not, however, before relating a pleasing little incident that occurred in our brigade the other day. Rev. John McGill, the efficient chaplain of the Fifty-second Virginia Regiment, had the misfortune to lose his horse a few weeks ago. The members of his regiment quietly got up a subscription, amounting to four or five hundred dollars, bought him a fine horse a few days since, and had it presented to him by Captain Bumgardiner, in the presence of the regiment. Should not such incidents as this shame the Churches at home? If soldiers can spare from their scanty allowance of $11.00 per month enough to

Zzzgeneral Lee reticent. The committee, which consisted of the Mayor (Hon. W. W. Townes), James Boisseau (as well as I can remember), and myself—the records of the Council do not show who the committee were—waited on General Lee at his headquarters at the Dupuy House (now the suburban residence of John McGill, Esq., of this city), situated about a mile west of the city, on the Dupuy road, in the county of Dinwiddie. General Lee was not at his headquarters when the committee arrived, but rode up a short time thereafter, and promptly gave audience to the committee. Our mission was made known. The General was apparently calm and collected, but very reticent, only replying to the committee that he would communicate with us at the residence of Mr. Paul, in the city of Petersburg, that (Sunday) ni

came to Baltimore and was assigned to Frostburg, being the first pastor of that parish. He was there only a short time, and although his work promised rich results, he was recalled and sent to assist in the Diocese of Richmond, then under Bishop John McGill. He was placed in charge of the work at Norfolk, where he remained for thirty-five years. In 1855 the yellow fever broke out in Norfolk and Portsmouth, just across the river. It was during this plague that Father O'Keefe did the work tt was afterwards discovered that the two men had been selected to kill Father O'Keefe, but the timely action of the brave priest had taken the nerve of the two would-be assassins. At the outbreak of the Civil War Father O'Keefe applied to Bishop McGill for permission to take up arms in defense of the South. This permission was denied by the bishop, who enjoined Father O'Keefe under his sacerdotal vows not to bear arms, but stipulated that if Norfolk was attacked he could exercise the natur

Please accept this as an imperfect expression of gratitude for the sympathy extended by many of your faith whilst a prisoner in Maryland, and the universally expressed good will for our people by all whom I met of your denomination in England.

was beautifully dressed with green and flowers, and lighted with great brilliancy and beauty. Vespers were chanted in the afternoon, and the benediction of the blessed sacrament performed. At the German Lutheran Church--St. John's-- the services were held by Dr. Schwarz, of Baltimore. The sermon was upon the nativity. At St. Peter's Cathedral services were commenced by a mass at five o'clock, which was followed by others, continuously, until half-past 10 o'clock, when the Right Rev. John McGill celebrated the Pontifical Sacrifice, the Rev. Dr. Becker acting as deacon, and Rev. P. J. O'Kief as sub-deacon. The church was neatly dressed. The galleries and pillars were festooned and hung with wreathes. The altar was arrayed with beautiful flowers, and brilliantly lighted. On an evergreen arch in the rear of the altar were written in golden letters, "Gloria in Excelcis, Deo." Mercandante's beautiful and brilliant mass, in B. flat, was sung with great spirit by the choir.
