y, if possible. Send us at least two colporters, one for the hospitals and the other for the camps. Rev. J. C. Hiden: Can't you send us a colporter here (Charlottesville). There is a most encouraging state of things at present. I am holding a protracted meeting. Crowds attend the preaching, and some have professed a change of heart, while others are interested. It is an interesting sight to see men, wounded in every variety of way, sitting attentive to the story of the Cross. Rev. T. J. McVeigh, chaplain at Farmville: My supply of tracts has been distributed, and the soldiers ask for more. I administered the ordinance of baptism (for the first time) a few Sabbaths since, in the Appomattox river, to a young soldier from Alabama. It was the most deeply interesting and beautiful scene I ever witnessed. All of the soldiers who were able to leave their rooms gathered upon the banks of the river, and seemed to have a high appreciation of the ordinance. Rev. Wm. Huff, Marion,

a regiments, viz.: Second, Fourth, Fifth, Twenty-seventh and Thirtythird. The field-officers of the Second were Colonel J. W. Allen, Lieutenant-Colonel Lawson Botts and Major Frank Jones, all useful members of the Episcopal Church—one of whom had, by letter, authorized me, as I came through Richmond, to invest for him $50 in religious reading-matter for use of the regiments. Rev. E. P. Walton (Baptist) was chaplain to Fifth, and Rev. J. M. Grandin (Methodist) to Thirty-third Regiment. Rev. McVeigh (now for some time a prisoner) had been chaplain to Second, but his term of commission having expired under the previous organization of the command, the regiment, as organized in April preceding, was declared vacant; hence my assignment. The spring campaign, characterized by rapidity, fighting and fatigue, deprived chaplains of much opportunity for ministerial work, except for the wounded on the battle-field. By the prompt invitations of our field-officers, I held nightly meetings of

Circulating libraries for our soldiers. --Revs. J. W. Jones. J. L. Johnson, J. C. Hiden, and T. J. McVeigh, all chaplains of Virginia regiments, are arranging to procure circulating libraries for their respective charges. Several regiments have contributed $100 a piece to secure religious reading. The libraries are furnished by the Colportage and Publication Society, located in this city. While in winter quarters these books will be of vast service, doing good alike to the head and the heart. We are glad to learn that the society in this city are preparing to supply quite a number of regiments. Rev. Mr. Jones is now here, and we are glad to learn from him that the 13th regiment, with which he is associated as Chaplain is comfortably situated within a mile and half of Manassas, and that he is much encouraged in his labors of love.

nnati, commanded by the gallant Commander Stemble. Gen. Sherman remains temporarily in command of Columbus. A. H. Foote, Flag Officer. Other Federal accounts say that the Confederates retreated to Fort Randolph. The occupation of Martinsburg. Washington, March 4. --Gen. Banks's forces occupied Martinsburg yesterday without opposition, and the pickets continue to bring in prisoners. Although few in number, they are of much importance. Among those taken last night was Rev. T. J. McVeigh, chaplain of the Second Virginia Infantry. He was captured by company K, Michigan cavalry, near Berryville. Intelligence from Winchester leads to the belief that Jackson is there in full force, and has completed his preparations to oppose our approach three miles east of that place. The same authority says his army is well provisioned, supplied, and clothed. Generals Buckner and Tilghman in Boston. Generals Buckner and Tilghman reached Boston, under strict guard, on t
