ly furious. When the guard would arrest him he would draw out his bowie knife and endeavor to cut his way through them; and even after he was overpowered and taken to the guard-house he had to be tied down, to keep him from rushing out over the sentinels. But the grace of God had taken hold of him, and entirely changed his nature. The roaring lion had been subdued into the gentle lamb; and it was remarkable that every man in the regiment had perfect confidence in his conversion. Elder W. N. Chaudoin, in a letter to the Baptist Banner, from the Army of Northern Virginia, describing his first day in camp, says: The quiet and order of the camp astonished me. I have seen and heard more confusion on Sabbath, at camp-meeting, than I heard and saw last Sunday in three brigades of soldiers. camp near Pisgah Church, Orange county, Va., October 3, 1863. . . . .

s Brigade, which commenced more than four weeks ago, is still in progress. About 175 have professed religion, among whom are a number of what are called backsliders. I have reason to believe that a majority of the backsliders were never converted until since the commencement of our meeting. The Lord give them grace to slide forward the balance of their lives! Brother Wiatt has baptized sixty-four, and about an equal number have united with a Methodist class, lately organized in camp. Major Garrett, a Methodist preacher, baptized nine the other day in the James river. In haste, A. Broaddus. Richmond, July 23. I have only time to say to your readers that the meeting with the Twenty-sixth Virginia Regiment, Wise's Brigade, is still deeply interesting; that I left this morning to attend to some domestic affairs in Bedford; that Dr. Jeter has just promised to go down to-morrow and assist the chaplain the balance of the week; that Brother Wiatt has baptized seventy-two up to t

Charleston, December 28. I am glad to inform you that the good work commenced in the Twenty-sixth Virginia Regiment at Burton's farm still continues. Brother Wiatt (chaplain) has baptized fifteen since they reached Charleston, and others are waiting to be baptized, and still others are concerned about their souls. They have nightly prayer-meetings, and after the meeting is over singing and other devotional exercises are continued in the different messes until bedtime. One of the most interesting features in this revival is, that the young converts, almost without an exception, take hold of the work, and pray, a

f religious feeling pervades these two corps. General Ewell was present at the meeting, and manifested much interest in the proceedings. Rev. John J. Hyman writes, from Orange: We are holding a protracted meeting of very great interest in Thomas's Brigade. Large numbers are seeking the Saviour, and there are many who are asking for tracts and hymn-books. If you can spare an army missionary to us, he would be gladly welcomed. We would say to such an one, Come over and help us. Rev. J. H. Harris writes, from Mercer county, Virginia: I feel much encouraged by the anxiety which is manifested by the troops for the printed page. They press around me so eagerly as soon as the benediction is pronounced, and beg for tracts and Testaments. I have been aiding Elder M. Bibb, who is carrying on a fine meeting in his regiment.

The Yankees have, at various times, obtained materials for furnishing their camp from the once beautiful residence of Senator Mason, on the edge of town, and there is now nothing left but some half demolished walls. A camp, for convalescent soldiers on their way to the army, was established near there last week, and I went out to preach on Tuesday morning. Some 200 men assembled under the trees in what was Mr. Mason's yard, and it was moving to see with what fixed attention they listened. Men were there from almost every State in the Confederacy, but we had a common interest in God's worship and word. At the close of the sermon, some twenty or twenty-five readily knelt for special prayer.
