e victory. The signal manifestations of Divine mercy that have distinguished the eventful and glorious campaign of the year just closing give assurance of hope that under the guidance of the same Almighty hand the coming year will be no less fruitful of events that will insure the safety, peace and happiness of our beloved country, and add new lustre to the already imperishable name of the Army of Northern Virginia. R. E. Lee, General. In his dispatch to President Davis, after Chancellorsville, he said: We have again to thank Almighty God for a great victory. And in his general orders to his troops he holds this significant language: . . . . While this glorious victory entitles you to the praise and gratitude of the nation, we are especially called upon to return our grateful thanks to the only Giver of victory, for the signal deliverance He has wrought. It is, therefore, earnestly recommended that the troops unite, on Sunday next, in ascribing unto the Lord of ho

said that he could always tell when a battle was near at hand by seeing the general get up a great many times in the night to pray. He was frequently observed in the beginning and in the midst of the battle to lift up his hands towards heaven, and those near could hear his ejaculatory prayers. Just before the battle of Fredericksburg he rode out in front of his line of battle and offered earnest prayer for the success of his arms that day. The morning of the opening of the campaign of Chancellorsville he spent a long time in prayer before mounting to ride to the field. A writer in the Richmond Whig thus describes a scene enacted soon after the battle of McDowell: General Jackson addressed his troops in a few terse and pointed remarks, thanking them for the courage, endurance and soldierly conduct displayed at the battle of McDowell on the 8th inst., and closed by appointing 10 o'clock of that day as an occasion of prayer and thanksgiving throughout the army for the victory which f

ce polemics against Christians of other denominations. He is looking in the eyes of heroes of many a battle, and knows that the long roll may beat ere he closes—that these brave fellows may be summoned at once to new fields of carnage—and that he may be delivering then the last message of salvation that some of them may ever hear. I remember that I preached to this vast congregation the very night before Hooker crossed the river, bringing on the battles of Second Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville—that, in my closing appeal, I urged them to accept Christ then and there, because they did not know but that they were hearing their last invitation, and that sure enough we were aroused before day the next morning by the crossing of the enemy, and in the battles which followed, many of these noble fellows were called to the judgment-bar of God. And so, when the preacher stood up before these congregations of veterans, his very soul was stirred within him, and he determined to know not<

lowance of $11.00 per month enough to make such a handsome manifestation of their appreciation of a chaplain's services, should not Church members at home, who are coining money out of the war, see to it that at least the small pittance they promise their pastor is promptly paid? occasional. I will only add this further concerning the great revival in Fredericksburg: I remember that the night before the enemy crossed the river, bringing on the battles of Second Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, I preached to a packed house, and in appealing to the men to accept Christ as their personal Saviour then and there, I said: How know you but that ere to-morrow's sun shall rise the long roll may beat, and this brigade be called to meet the enemy? It may be that some of these brave men are hearing now their last message of salvation. A number accepted the invitation and came to confess Christ, or to ask an interest in the prayers of God's people, and after the meeting I went back t

nia, as a token of our regard. Opening it I found the sum of $500.00. After the brigade had reached the vicinity of Chancellorsville for that battle, Colonel Nadenbousch, learning that I was exposed to capture at Mr. Buckner's, sent back an express r Fredericksburg, at the old quarters occupied by General Jackson previous to the second battle of Fredericksburg or Chancellorsville.

Seventh session. round Oak Church, Tuesday, May 12. [The session appointed for May 5 was prevented by the battles of Second Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville.] At 12 o'clock General Pendleton preached on the duties and responsibilities of the chaplain's work from the text: Study to show thyself approved of God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy II. 15. He spoke earnestly of the importance of our work, and cautioned against a natural tendency to indolence and sloth. He urged as essential qualifications for the work, personal piety, an appreciation of the value of the soul, and a right impression of the dignity and value of our office, and gave practical directions for the attainment of these qualifications. He then noticed the difficulties and encouragements we meet in the chaplaincy, and in conclusion urged upon chaplains to be stirred up to their great work and especially seek to improve the season of repose whi
