music. After Bishop Elliott had read prayers, I slept in the same room with General Hardee. 29th may, 1863 (Friday). I took a walk before breakfast with Dr. Quintard, a zealous Episcopal chaplain, who began life as a surgeon, which enables him to attend to the bodily as well as the spiritual wants of the Tennessean regimentns. At noon I took leave for the present of General Hardee, and drove over in his ambulance to Shelbyville, eight miles, in company with Bishop Elliott and Dr. Quintard. The road was abominable, and it was pouring with rain. On arriving at General Polk's, he invited me to take up my quarters with him during my stay with Brag 30th may, 1863 (Saturday). It rained hard all last night, but General Polk's teat proved itself a good one. We have prayers both morning and evening, by Dr. Quintard, together with singing, in which General Polk joins with much zeal.

that the men are much better marchers than those I saw in Mississippi. A soldier was shot in Wartrace this afternoon. We heard the volley just as we left in the cars for Shelbyville. His crime was desertion to the enemy; and as the prisoner's brigade was at Tullahoma (twenty miles off), he was executed without ceremony by the provost-guard. Spies are hung every now and then; but General Bragg told me it was almost impossible for either side to stop the practice. Bishop Elliott, Dr. Quintard, and myself got back to General Polk's quarters at 6 P. M., where I was introduced to a Colonel Styles, who was formerly United States minister at Vienna. In the evening I made the acquaintance of General Wheeler, Van Dorn's successor in the command of the cavalry of this army, which is over 24,000 strong. He is a very little man, only twenty-six years of age, and was dressed in a coat much too big for him. He made his reputation by protecting the retreat of the army through Kentucky l

nsely crowded. The procession approached as I stood there, presenting a most melancholy cortege. The military, together with civil officers of every grade, were there, and every countenance was marked with sorrow. As they bore his coffin into the church, with sword, cap, and cloak resting upon it, I turned away in sickness of heart, and thought of his father and family, and of his bleeding country, which could not spare him. We went to St. Paul's, and heard an excellent sermon from the Rev. Mr. Quintard, a chaplain in the army. He wore the gown over the Confederate gray — it was strange to see the bright military buttons gleam beneath the canonicals. Every thing is strange now! Tuesday morning, February 18th, 1862. The wires are cut somewhere between this and Tennessee. We hear nothing farther West than Lynchburg; rumours are afloat that Donelson has fallen. We are too unhappy about it to think of any thing else. Evening, 1862. It is all true. Our brave men have yie

t numbers, were freely sent forth to all the camps and hospitals from their centre of operations. The Virginia Episcopal Mission Committee heartily united in the work, and spent thousands of dollars per annum in sending missionaries to the army, and in printing and circulating tracts. Rev. Messrs. Gatewood and Kepler, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, were the zealous directors of operations in Virginia, while in other States such men as Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, Doctor, now Bishop, Quintard, of Tennessee, and the lamented General Polk gave the weight of their influence and the power of their eloquence, written and oral, to promote the cause of religion among our soldiers. At Raleigh, North Carolina, early in the war, Rev. W. J. W. Crowder commenced the publication of tracts, encouraged and assisted by contributions from all classes of persons. In less than a year he reported: We have published, of thirty different tracts, over 5,000,000 pages, more than half of which we ha

piring around us. I communicated the conversation, after his death, to some of the public prints, and do not now repeat it to you because I do not know that it could answer any purpose for your book. But, returning to my proper topic, I saw a yet larger, grander concourse of soldiers at a religious service, in General Bragg's army, while it was encamped in Middle Tennessee, near Shelbyville. Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, preached on a Sabbath afternoon, being assisted in the services by Dr. Quintard, the present Episcopal Bishop of Tennessee. The congregation formed a vast circle, filling up with a dense mass a large opening in the woods, many seated on the logs arranged for the purpose, but many standing and forming the outer circumference, and a few, Zaccheus-like, clambering up and seating themselves in the trees to see and hear. I have permitted myself, under the impulse of feelings awakened by the recurrence of my memory to those scenes gone by, to enlarge in a degree that I

Impressive ceremony at Dalton. --A most interesting and impressive ceremony took place at the Episcopal Church in Dalton, Ga., on Wednesday last, in the confirmation, by Bishop Elliott, of four Generals of the Army of Tennessee, viz: Lieut. Gen. Hardee, and Gens. Govan, Shupe, and Strahl. The last named General was first received into the church by baptism, and then the rite of confirmation was administered to him with the others. The Atlanta Confederacy, referring to the impressive ceremony, says: An immense concourse, civil and military, witnessed the imposing spectacle, including the Commander in-Chief and nearly every general officer in the army. The Rev. Dr. Quintard and others of the Episcopal clergy officiated. The ceremony of "the laying on of hands" was performed by the eminent Bishop of this Dioceses the Rt. Rev. Bishop Stephen D. Elliott.
