Jes sup, of Syria, which appeared some time ago in the Montrose Republican ....... One of the Protestant young men from Aheih, on his way to Damasous, overtook a man on the road who seemed to bo in trouble. He could,not apeak Arabic, and some ruffian had been attempting to rob Aim, The young/,man addressed him-in. Turkish, and received an answer at once. The man was a Turk of rank fromt.Constantinople, /going to Damas cus, and when he found that this young man could speak Turkish he invited him to join his party, for mutual protection on the road. At night, when they stopped at a khan, they were engaged in conversa tion, when the Turk asked the young man about his religion. “I am a Christian,” said he. “But what kind of a Christian ?'’ said the Turk ; “ a Greek, Ma rdhite, or Armenian?” “Neither.” said the young man, “but a Gospel Christian, a-Protestant.” ‘’ls it possible?” said the Turk, “and so am I a Gospel Christian. I was a Turkish Moslem in Constantino ple, but I learned the tyuth of Mr. Williams, the con verted Turk, and now I dih a believer in Christ. My friends in Constantinople do not yet know of the change, but on my return from Damascus, I intend to embrrtc'e the truth openly.” “Saying''this” he took from, his pocket a Turkish Testament,, and began, to read. The young mao had much conversation with liim, and was greatly pleisod with liis Views of Chriit and his love for tho truth. May the Lord watch over him and make him a chosen instrument ufdring much good. THE ARMY. Chaplains—Revised List. -MAINE. ■ 2d Regiment, - J. F. Mines, : Prot. E. 4th “ Benj, A.

In some cases I have found , that thoughtless ardor for a brush or a battle which per vades all armies—but in no one instance have 1 de tected a spirit of malignity.'. On the contrary, over and over again have I beard generous and sad regrets at the dreadful necessity of taking up arms against brethren, profound wonder at the infatuation which seek§ to overthrow this most beneficent of human go vernments, hopes that the Union may be preserved with little .bloodshed, and that fraternal feeling to ward their Northern brethren may soon revisit the South. This, beyond all doubt, is the prevailing spi rit of this magnificent citizen army." Do Soldiers Want a Sabbath?— Yes, if they are fit for an army called' into the field to “enforce the laws." The following letter from Colonel Fletcher "Webster, Of the Massachusetts Twelfth Regiment, to his General, by whose order Fort Warren was closed to visitors on the Sabbath, is an expression of the feeding# of tens of thousands in the army- Soldiers have a right to a day of rest, under ordinary circum stances,—and wise commanders will; respect - that right.

The Defeat at Manassas Junction. —ltis be yond- doubt that we,'as a people, were tidt adequately prepared to meet the emergency now upon us, when our army moved upon Manassas Junction. The whole issue was underestimated. The brilliant vic tories over detached bodies of the rebels in Western Virginia and Missouri, 1 and the rapid'retreat of the cunning Johnston from Harper’s Ferry, deceived us as to the real strength of 'the: rebels at the point where they , knew the decisive" battle (decisive for them) must be fought,' if - fought at all. We ’ have realized and _atoned for our error, and have partly rallied from it and begun to take steps to prevent its repetition. Some 80 or 100,000 fresh troops have been accepted by the department; and by this writing, perhaps, 30 or 35,000 of them are in Virginia, or on their way thither. A vigorous and victorious young officer; General M‘Clellan, has been called to -the command of the army in'and around Washington, and the strictest measures to seoure competent sub ordinate officers are on foot. So’ far, so good. But whether the people are .fuHy awake to the .work,they have before them, whether they realize the gravity and the magnitude of the fcfisis they are meeting, whether they have yet made up their minds to fur nish the vast numbers of men, to .supply the great amount of treasure, and to endure .the inconvenience, loss and, suffering, which may;yet be required hit the successful prosecution of this War of the Constitution is, as yet, to fully settled.' That they will do and suffer.ail, we do not doubt; but it may take more than one reverse, proceeding from inade quate preparation, and headlong zeal,’and;vain self eonc.eit, to bring us to it. ,We have great interests for posterity and for mankind, to conserve; perhaps the greatest, that were ever brought to the- arbitra ment! of war.' Gan we .expect to secure them - while we do not give proof that our whole souls are-in the work, as much as were our forefathers in the revolu tionary struggle? Are we willing to lay aside every selfish plan, to suspend every elaim that other .ties can lay upon us, and to merge ourselves, oUr whole being and activity, in-the one supreme object of up holding, for'the welfare of humanity, the assailed Constitution of our country?; Until we are brought to such a martyr point of devotion can we be confi dent of success? Such was the unconquerable spirit of our forefathers in founding this republic, and. we idust be ready to manifest it in the tremendous strug gle which we have just commenced against millions of Arnolds who. have plotted its overthrow. The following is the newspaper account of the battle:’ * \ On Saturday, July 20th, it was determined to make a general attack early on the morning of the next day,- (Sabbath.) The attack was made, and after very severe fighting and a terrible loss of life, two or three: of the rebel baiteries were taken at the point of the bayonet—our troops nobly standing up to their work. 0£ fMnfid.ay dews was received thaif we wereJvrefii-' rious, but about 10 o’clock the telegraph,informed us of a series of events in the highest degree disas trous. , It appears we were,; advancing and taking, their masked batteries gradually, but surely, and driving the enemy toward Manassas Junction, when enemy seemed to have been., reinforced by Johnston, who, it is understood, took command, and' immediately commenced driving .us- back, .when a panic broke out among the teamsters; who had in cautiously advanced immediately after the body of the army, and lined the Warrenton roadr Their consternation was shared’ib by: numerous civilians who were on the ground,.and:commnni'cated>'i{self to our whole army, and _a regular, stampede.took place. Many .baggage"vyagpns;’were : emptied, and. their; hdrles,gallqped aerpss the open"fields, all thefeoees of which were torn down to allow them a more rapid retreat. - -; - ■' " A-laTge number of the troops, in their,refrbatjjfell* onthe wayside -from exhaustion, and ire 'scattered' along, ,all .the- yray from Court House. : /The ¥oad frotn ’ Buil' Pkun was sfrewn with ■knapsacks, armsj &c.

He further says, .that owing to re-enforce ments.from Richmond, Skansburg, and other points, the enemy’s effective'foree was 90,000 men. The panic was so great that the;attempt to; rally, them to a stand at Centreville, where Colonel Ein stein’s Pennsylvania Regiment was = stationed, .was.; entirely, in vain.ilfia firm stand had-been- made there; our troops oouldhave been reinforced,- and much dis aster prevented.

Some re gi mental wagonp were overturned by accident, or the wheels camo off,. and had, therefore, to be aban doned. • t: Large droves of cattle were, saved by being driven back in the advance of the'retreat. 1 ■ i - The Rhode Island battery-was taken by the rebels at the bridge across Bull Run, where their retreat was ciit off.

He gives credit to the ambulance drivers and to the'medical staff of the volunteer corps, for dis charging their duties faithfully.

It Says: “The energy the Free States have displayed, the, great number of men they have raised, and the good' material of Which their army is composed, are be yond all praise. Ik is easy to see that a great deal of their irritability towards England arises from a feel ing that justice has; not been done to their patriotic spirit by public opinion hefe. Looking, as""every American does, to the opinion of England, they have been mortified in finding that an effort which they feel to be worthy of admiration, has been re ceived by us with coolness, forgetful as they are, that we are bound to refrain from enthusiasm for their military ardor, when the object' of it is to crush those, with whom we are as much in-relation as with themselves.” , COKGBEjSS. ■The Work of Congress-— Since Congress organ-,- ized, on the Fourth'of fiutbjulJy and. energetically,devoteddts time to the execution of the national policy unfolded in th« President’s Message.; It has met the great difficulties of the .country, boldly, and dealt with them"wisely.
