Mathlas' Point.
King George Co., Va., July 31.
All is quiet at our point now. The vandals have not had ‘"pluck"’ to fire a single shot at us since the battle at Manassas.
By the way, I have seen in your paper several references to the coincidence between the regular lessons of the day in the Episcopal calendar for Church service and important current events, but the most striking one has not yet been noticed
About the time the war commenced, the lesson for the day was from the second chapter of Joel, which contains the following remarkable words: ‘"I will remove far off from you the Northern army into a land barren and desciate; * * and his stink shall come up, and his illesavor shall come up, because he bash done, (i. e., magnified to do,) great things.
Fear not, O'land, be glad and rejoice; for the Lord will do great things"’
Who that has heard of the stampede from Manassas, and of the horrid fate of the dead Yankees left on its battle-field, can fail to see a fearful coincidence with these words, or threats, of Holy Writ ? Juatitia.
