cease to remember our Churches in our prayers. Do they remember us? Wm. E. Wiatt, Chaplain Twenty-Sixth Virginia Regiment. There is a company in one of our Virginia regiments which numbers eighty men, all of whom, except ten, are now connected with some evangelical denomination. Bible-classes have been formed, embracing the entire company, and the little handful who are yet out of Christ give manifest tokens of deep religious impressions. There is a Bible-class in every company of Doles's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. Charleston, South Carolina. It gives me great pleasure to report, that our meeting continues with unabated interest. About seventy-five have been hopefully converted. Last night was truly a refreshing time with us.

I was for a long time the only chaplain in Doles's Brigade, and on that account had a great deal to do. I never kept any account of the number of sermons I preached, nor of prayer-meetings. It was our practice tightily. Fifty persons had joined the Church, and there had been many more conversions. Fast-day had been well observed in brigade and regimental services. In Doles's, Daniels's, Scales's, and Stonewall Brigades a good state of religious feeling was existing; congregations good, and services were held daily. Brother Hall, f
