on at all or the Appomattox be crossed, was a matter of doubt. The rebel chief had anticipated his defeat, and dressed himself that morning in full uniform, with his finest sword, declaring that if forced to surrender, he would fall in harness; and when it was announced that his works were carried, he simply said: It has happened as I thought; the lines have been stretched until they broke. The statements in this chapter in regard to Lee's conduct and language are all taken from Pollard, McCabe, Cooke, or other rebel writers. He fled with his escort from one position to another before the victorious columns, and once the advancing batteries were opened on a house where he had halted, and he was driven by their fire still nearer in towards Petersburg. At first but little effort seems to have been made to resist the national progress. Lee had been composed all through this terrible morning, but it was with the dull, apathetic composure of despair. It was necessary, however, to

small heed was taken of literary matters. I knew, and was content to know, that the poem soon found its way to the camps, as I heard from time to time of its being sung in chorus by the soldiers. As the war went on, it came to pass that Chaplain McCabe, newly released from Libby Prison, gave a public lecture in Washington, and recounted some of his recent experiences. Among them was the following: He and the other Union prisoners occupied one large, comfortless room, in which the floor wafficer had given them false information, and that the Union soldiers had, on the contrary, achieved an important victory. At this good news they all rejoiced, and presently made the walls ring with my Battle Hymn, which they sang in chorus, Chaplain McCabe leading. The lecturer recited the poem with such effect that those present began to inquire, Who wrote this Battle Hymn? It now became one of the leading lyrics of the war. In view of its success, one of my good friends said, Mrs. Howe oug

te, having resigned an important Rectorship; and has been commissioned by the Governor, as Chaplain in the active volunteer forces of Virginia, and is now in Col B. S. Evell's staff at "Camp Page," near Williamsburg. As a matter of conscience, Dr. McCabe could not remain in a Diocese where the use of the prayer for the President of the United States was required, by ecclesiastical rescript, when his native State had resumed her sovereignty. He is well known throughout the country, as a contribdition to his present appointment, he is the Chaplain elect of the University of Virginia, when that noble institution, shall resume her regular session.

Stanard's Company, No. 8, at Yorktown, Dr. McCabe will meet with many old friends and acquaintances, who will greet his return to his native State and to her service, in the vicinity in which he is located.

A Chaplain's duties. The duties of Dr. McCabe, the Chaplain of the Post, in Richmond, are of a very onerous character. His labors at the various hospitals, in visiting the sick and burying the dead, are sufficient to task the physical as well as moral energies of the strongest man but are performed with characteristic alacrity and zest.

[for the Richmond Dispatch.]an Incident. One day, last week, in making his usual visitations, the Rev. Dr. McCabe called in at the Maryland Hospital, corner of Cary and 25th streets, and in making his rounds, was attracted to the bed of a young and delicate boy, suffering from the effects of protracted fever. The little fellow had seen only fourteen summers, and his thin, pale face bore marks of disease and suffering. The following occurred, as reported by the Chaptain: "How old are you, my son?" said the Rev. gentleman. "I was fourteen my last birthday" "Why, that in very young, to be in the army?" "Yes, sir; but I thought it my duty." "Where are you from?" "Mississippi, sir." "What is your name?" "Dwight Sherwood." "Why, that is a Northern name." "Yes, sir; my father was a Northern man, but he has lived in the South for many years, and is a good Southern man." "And your mother, where is she?" His little thin lip qui
