His career in that capacity was speedily ended by the crushing defeat at Fredericksburg, where, with one hundred thousand men, he had the temerity to assault Lee in strong position with seventy-five thousand. This was the easiest victory of the w Now, Lee, look to thy charge! These be odds which might well strike terror to the stoutest heart. Sedgwick, with a strong force, crossed the river below Fredericksburg, and demonstrated against Lee's front, while Hooker, with the bulk of his army, swept around Lee's left, crossing at the upper fords, and concentrated at Chanf Chancellorsville, at the close of which General Hooker found his army, demoralized by defeat and weakened by tremendous losses, in those very camps opposite Fredericksburg, from which they had so recently set out to imagine victory over an inferior foe.

After Chancellorsville and the gathering which had been done during the battle, an ordnance officer of the Second corps was sent to the field with power to call upon a neighboring brigade for as large details as he wished, and he spent a week in gathering the debris of the battle and sending it to Guiney's Station or Hamilton's Crossing, whence it was shipped to Richmond. My recollection is that over twenty thousand stand of damaged arms were sent in this way to the arsenal, besides a considerable quantity of lead, &c. After the first day at Gettysburg the battlefield was gleaned, and such material as we had transportation for sent back. The means of transportation were always limited in the Confederate army, and as the war went on horses and wagons and forage became scarcer, and the difficulty of obtaining trans

d the tabernacle of the Lord has been in the midst of our tents. We believe there have been more powerful and blessed revivals of religion in the army than out of it during the last two years. We know of a large church in which almost all the additions for more than a year have been of young men visiting their homes on furloughs from the army. At this very time a most interesting and extensive work of grace is in progress amongst the troops stationed in and around the desolated city of Fredericksburg. The evidences of God's love and mercy are thus brought into immediate and striking contrast with the marks of the cruelty and barbarity of man. Brethren, do not these movements of the Holy Ghost indicate where God's ministers should follow, and in what work they should engage? Our work, though hard, is a pleasant work, and we feel it to be a precious and glorious work. Much more has been accomplished than has been made known abroad.

hrown into the arena—with equal resolution and resolve it was lifted from the dust. There was no paltering upon either side with the magnitude of the interests at stake, and the preparations were commensurate with the powers that were to be opposed. Two years of the stubborn trial of strength passed by, and the end seemed as far off as at the beginning. Manassas and Seven Pines, Donelson and Pittsburg, the trial of the Seven Days, and the contest at Antietam, Corinth and Perryville, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville! On these, and on an hundred other battlefields, the insatiate demands of the Moloch of civil war had been met, and still there was no rift to be seen in the cloud that hung as a pall over the homes of the millions of our land.
