wspapers, memoirs, etc.—among his company and sometimes in the regiment. It was also his custom, as occasion offered, to assemble his company nightly before the door of his tent for religious services. We deeply mourn his loss, and feel that his place can never be filled. But, Though lost to sight, to memory ever dear. It gives me unspeakable pleasure thus to bear testimony to the inestimable worth of your noble brother. Your friend, Now Rev. Dr. Geo. B. Strickler, of Atlanta, Georgia.G. B. S. The last extract is from a letter to Rev.

The South Carolina Tract Society was an earnest ally in the holy cause, and sent out its share of tracts to swell the vast number scattered like leaves of the Tree of Life all over the land. The presses in every great commercial centre were busy in throwing off religious reading of every description, and yet so great was the demand that the supply was unequal to it during the whole of the war.

Railroad, until a brigade is selected for him. Another, T. F. Pierce, is now in the State military service, and will receive his appointment to a brigade when his term expires. But, to return from this digression, I give the following extracts from letters which I wrote to the Christian Index, Macon, Georgia: camp, near Orange Court House, Virginia, February 10, 1864.
