A Significant Incident.
--The Texas Christian Advocate says:‘ A Texas planter having responded in person to one of the late calls of Col. Van Dorn for service in the West, his negroes were left in the care of the overseer. One night, at a late hour, the overseer was awakened by a noise at the ‘"quarter."’ He immediately arose and went in the direction of the noise far enough to ascertain that it was the voice of prayer. Drawing still nearer, he discovered that the prayer-meeting was a special occasion for the benefit of the master who had ‘"gone to the war."’ Earnest prayers ascended that his health and life might be spared, and that God would grant him a safe return.
