Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, April 22. Took leave of my army friends in Dibbrell's Division of McLemore's and Breckenridge's Brigades, Cavalry. General Dibbrell is an exemplary member of the Methodist Church, and has

each other here only as Christian brethren travelling to a better world. Our meeting is still progressing. Pray for us. Rev. J. W. Turner, writing from Savannah, Georgia, says: Our people seem to have deserted us, was the language of a sick soldier in one of the hospitals in this city. He was a member of the Twenty-fifth Geoding matter in books, which he had procured by soliciting donations. Some have been awakened, others professed conversion. Rev. J. W. Turner, in and near Savannah, Georgia: He preached in January 16 sermons, travelled about 400 miles, distributed 177 books, conversed privately with several soldiers on religion, and prayedin General Hood's room, some forty persons, chiefly generals and staff officers, being present. I confirmed General Hood and one of his aids, Captain Gordon, of Savannah, and a young lieutenant from Arkansas. The service was animated, the praying good. Shells exploded near by all the time. General Hood, unable to kneel, suppor

nley was then the chaplain, Lieutenant N. B. Binion was President of the Association, and W. J. Brown, Secretary. These men came out not only to fight, to suffer, to die for their country, but to work for God and the truth in the midst of all the evils and corruptions of the camp. The signs from other portions of the army in the West and Southwest were equally cheering. Along the lines in East Tennessee the revival began to spread with great power. Rev. W. B. Norris, writing from Loudon, Tennessee, says: During the month (April) there has been a deep religious interest among the soldiers here. We have had a series of meetings for about two weeks, which, we hope, resulted in much good. The church in which we met was always crowded to the utmost, and there were always many seekers for the way of eternal life. In the Fifty-ninth Tennessee Regiment there was a glorious work. Rev. S. Strick, the chaplain, says: God is at work among our men. Many are earnestly seeking the

April 8. Supper with Chaplain M. B. Chapman, Thirty-second Tennessee, one of the true and tried men of the war, a true blue Presbyterian in fidelity, but full of charity, very successful as a modest chaplain, and equally so for many years after the war, in building up a good church at Smyrna, Tennessee. No better man in the army or Presbyterian Church, I think. He died some years ago. Preached for Cumming's and Pettus's Brigades at night. Smithfield, North Carolina, April 9, 1865. Breakfast with Chaplain Harris, Twenty-sixth Tennessee. Rode his mule to Headquarters of Lieutenant-General Stewart, now in command. Met Brothers Ransom, Burr, and Mooney, and a number of chaplains.

came, via Mobile, Montgomery, Atlanta, and Chattanooga, preaching at the latter place. On my return to East Tennessee, July 3, 1862, I found our troops at Bean's Station, having evacuated Cumberland Gap in my absence. I gave our soldiers a talk on the 4th, chiefly incidents of my visit to our friends in the Department of Misss encouragement. I have reason to hope the word spoken to-day has been as seed sown in good ground. July 9. Preached to the Fourth Tennessee at night. Bean's Station, East Tennessee, Sunday, July 13. Small congregation at the morning service of the Fourth Tennessee. At 4 P. M. went over the mountain and preached to the T of the First Methodist Church in Macon, Georgia.

s at noon, and boxes of nick-nacks come promptly when our friends start them. All the officers here (and there are about 600) seem to be in good health and spirits. The general health of all on the Island is good, considering the number of privates (6,000) confined here. All seem to enjoy themselves; and, altogether, there are worse prisons than Fort Delaware. We have a large lot to play in. We have here in our barracks three ministers—Rev. Dr. Handy, of the Presbyterian Church of Portsmouth, Virginia; and Captain Harris, of Georgia, and Captain Samford, of Texas, local Methodist preachers. A revival of religion has been in progress for two weeks—17 converts, many backsliders reclaimed, and a refreshing season to old professors, numbering 150 reported names. These are among the results of the revival. Rev. Dr. Kavanaugh reports over 500 conversions in two brigades in the Southwest. He says in his report: Wicked men come into the congregation, or into the outskirts of i

ontinuation of the fall campaign into Middle Tennessee. It was not practicable or advisable for me to carry supplies and follow the army, and the time was spent in distributing Heralds, hymn-books, and Testaments on the railroads from Selma to Demopolis, Alabama, and thence to Meridian and Corinth, Mississippi, and from Corinth to Cherokee, Alabama, and on the steamboats from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. I also furnished reading for the hospitals at Lauderdale Springs, Corinth and Iuka, Mississippi. I visited and preached twice for Patterson's Brigade of Roddy's Division of Cavalry. The officers and soldiers took much interest in preaching and were glad to be furnished with 500 copies of the Herald. I supplied a portion of Forrest's corps of cavalry also with Heralds and hymn-books on their return from Middle Tennessee. I visited the Wayside Home at Okalona, Mississippi, preaching twice to the soldiers who stop over at night either in going to or from the front, several of

Dr. Bunting, Presbyterian chaplain of Terry's Texas Rangers, preached to a thousand men of Ector's and Vance's brigade. I preached in the afternoon. March 16.

ured the privations and fatigues of military life, sustained by such a noble and chivalric sense of duty. His march to Perryville was his last. After his regiment was drawn up in line of battle, his colonel, passing along the line, observed him wrile. Perfectly fearless, he avoided no duty or responsibility. In every respect he was reliable. On the battlefield of Perryville he fell, attesting his devotion to his native South. He was one of the few men who could have gone on to any position life. You cannot look upon these penitent, weeping men at the altar of prayer without thinking of the bloody fields of Perryville and Murfreesboro, and the victorious veterans rolling up to heaven the shouts of triumph. Here they are. Some sending and had them carried to their hospital. Saw the body of General Sill. He was on the Federal left wing of the army at Perryville, when we came in contact with his division. Here he was on the right and was slain. He was buried near the Chattanoog
