At that point they caine upon five of the rebel pickets, who precipitately fled, leaving behind, with other trophies, their hats and coats, which showed that the owners were officers. In the pockets of the latter were several letters just finished, giving a complete account of the late advance of 2,800 men from Yorktown to attack Newport News. One of an amusing character from the pocket of James Steele, bookseller, Richmond, describes the federal troops as a set of baboons, to be speedily driven from the sacred soil of Virginia.--N. Y. Evening Post, July 3. Edward Clark, the Governor of Texas, issued a proclamation, in which he said: It will also be treasonable for any citizen of Texas to pay any debts now owing by him to a citizen of either of the States or Territories now at war with the Confederate States of America. --National Intelligencer, July 3.

story, and there our young men met from time to time. They were very poorly supplied with books or facilities for doing their work. I had hardly become established in my headquarters and in my home before I was elected to the presidency of the association. This came probably because I had been for so many years president of the Y. M. C. A. in Washington. It was not long before I found myself associated with several active workers such as Dr. Lindsley, William Wadhams, Mr. Wakefield, James Steele, and others. At that time Captain M. C. Wilkinson of my staff was very active and earnest in Christian effort. Soon we rented a large set of rooms on the lower side of Front Street, where there had been a saloon and extensive gambling arrangements. Our meetings kept increasing, and large numbers of those who had gone astray were brought back to the Master's service. A single instance may show how we worked in those days. E. P. Hammond, the evangelist, was holding meetings in the

orded me much to talk about in the line of reminiscence. Major Whittle, not being well, did not go with me throughout the Southern tour. After-we separated I had as an associate a very agreeable young man, William C. Howland. He and I met Chaplain Steele, United States Navy, at Key West.

This warehouse was made to answer the purpose of the Pavilion elsewhere. At Key West I had my first opportunity to address soldiers and sailors together. The story of the Cross made simple in its presentation interested them. After that, we were invited to go on board vessels in the harbor, where the naval officers seemed happy to meet us and give their men the opportunity to listen to our proclamation of the truth as we saw it. We went on down from Key West to Guantanimo and there met our fleet under the command of Admiral Sampson. He very kindly sent me on a little steamer, the Vixen, commanded by Captain Shar

e murder. --The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal learns that on last Friday evening the body of James Steele, a fisherman, we believe, was found in or near the Northeast Branch of the Cape Fear River, aed on suspicion. A free negro named Clem Maner, or Manor, who started at the same time with Steele, but in a separate boat, was also missed at the same time, and his body has been found but a short distance from where Steele's was found. An axe, evidently that with which this double murder was committed, was found in the marsh, not far from the place where the bodies had been discovered. It seems that both Steele and Clem Manor had some little money with them when they went out. The three men are still under arrest. The Coroner's Jury came to the conclusion that the deceased, Steelhe deceased, Steele, came to his death from the effects of wounds inflicted on his head, but they could not identify the party inflicting them. The verdict in Clem's case will probably be the same.
