eneral Burnside was also known as a decided Christian; and many of the division and brigade commanders were remarkable for their deeply religious character. Mr. William Swinton, author of the History of the Army of the Potomac, relates some incidents in regard to General Couch and General Rosecrans, which demonstrate the power of the religious sentiment in their characters.

After making his disposition to receive an attack, he sent for Gener, his special friend, and, like himself, a man of the most undaunted courage. When he came, General Sumner said: Sedgwick, you perceive the situation. The enemy will doubtless open upon us at dayligous condition, did not renew the attack; new bridges were built, and the sacrifice averted. But Sumner was the man to have carried out his resolution to the letter. Suffer most-love most. In a
