that out of the whole number in it (115), there is hardly a single man who is not a professor of faith in Jesus, or in some degree an inquirer for the way of life. He states also that some seventeen have been baptized, not into communion with any particular denomination, but with Christ's people. The revival alluded to by Captain Kirkpatrick was one of the most powerful enjoyed in the army at this time. The meetings were conducted by Rev. Hugh Roy Scott, an Episcopal clergyman of King George county, who described the work of grace in a tract which was published by the Evangelical Tract Society, of Petersburg, and which contains so many details of interest that I insert it in full, as follows: Camp Nineveh.

I am a Protestant Episcopal clergyman, and during the war had charge of a Church in King George county, Virginia.
