Thus fell as brave a soldier as has been sacrificed in his country's cause, and a babe in Christ was taken away from evil to come. W. B. Carson. The Southern Christian Advocate judges, from intelligence from the Southern armies, that the great revival, commenced last year, still continues. Revivals are reported in General B. R. Johnson's Brigade (a part of Longstreet's army), near Dandridge, Tennessee, in the camp church at Galveston, Texas, and in the Twenty-third Georgia Regiment, Colquitt's Brigade, near Charleston, South Carolina.

u of the condition of the regiment, on account of its being so scattered. There are no two companies together. Extracts from my letters to the Christian Index: On Friday last, I preached for Davis's Mississippi Brigade, now on picket at Peyton's Ford, and in the afternoon led down into the liquid grave twelve young men who had given me the most satisfactory evidence of repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The large congregation which lined the banks of the Rapidan was greatly moved, and I trust that the ordinance was blessed to the good of souls. The stream was very rapid (owing to the recent rains) and the whole scene vividly reminded me of those occasions upon which the great forerunner baptized soldiers in the rapid stream of Jordan. I was told by an old citizen, that about fifty years ago Mrs. General Madison (sister-in-law to the President) was bap tized in the same place in the presence of a large crowd, of which the President was one.

ccess, but merely as illustrating how God helped us in our labors, and blessed our poor efforts during this period, I give the following report of one of the missionaries for the year beginning October I, 1863, and ending September 30, 1864. It may be proper to say that on October I, 1864, I accepted an appointment from the Virginia Baptist Sunday-school and Publication Board as missionary-chaplain to A. P. Hill's Corps, and that this report only embraces my labors for the year named: Headquarters, Third Corps, A. N. Va., near Petersburg, October 1, 1864. Rev. A. E. Dickinson, General Superintendent: Dear Brother: I have given you from time to time informal reports of my work, but now that a year has elapsed since I entered the service of your board, it is perhaps expected that I should send you a more formal report of my labors. I have confined myself chiefly to those regiments and brigades most destitute of ministerial labor; but would take occasion to say that I have been

A. E. D. Brother Geo. F. Bagby, South Carolina, writes: Since I last wrote you I have visited portions of Wise's Brigade, preached sev Petersburg, Virginia, April 17. There is quite an interesting meeting in progress in the South Carolina hospital. It commenced some five weeks since. The chaplain is assisted by Rev. Dr. Pryor, deal of interest is manifested in the services. In Bryan's and Wofford's Georgia, Kershaw's South Carolina, and several other brigades, there are revivals of deep interest. Indeed, we might look fore pond just in the rear of the trenches was a large crowd of bronzed veterans from Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

Bryant's Georgia Brigade, under the labors of Chaplains C. H. Toy, W. L. Curry and J. C. Camp (all three Baptists), and the brigade missionary, Rev. Mr. Haygood (a Methodist minister). There is a fine state of religious feeling throughout that army, but a great lack of chaplains; and both officers and men are very anxious to fill the vacancies. The supply of religious literature—books, tracts and papers—by no means equals the demand. Rev. Andrew B. Cross, in an account of a visit to Fort Delaware, states that, while our prisoners were eating dinner, he proposed to preach for them. They readily assented, and circulated the notice among their companions. I went out and selected a spot in the barrack yard, which was protected from the wind and where the sun shone very warm. Here were gathered in a few minutes almost one thousand men, who stood listening attentively for over half an hour that I talked to them, and then seemed unwilling to depart, begging me to come and preach to t

Sunday, February 21. Preached this morning at Mahone's Virginia Brigade. Their large chapel was densely crowded, and I have rarely preached to a more attentive congregation. There are only two chaplains in this brigade of five regiments, but they are working men and the lay brethren are earnestlyeek are held many prayer-meetings, brigade, regimental, company and private; and prayer-meetings to prepare for prayer-meetings.
