| LETTEB FBOM CHATTANOOGA. Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 12th, 1864. jf Rev. J. W. Meass:— Dear Brother: — It, is only now and then that wo realize that we are in the South. We cannot help speaking of it as we do of the Igouthern Confederacy—as only the " so fjalled ” Sunny South; . when on New Ifear’s night it was cold enough here to (freeze 300 mules to death. Of course 8»y were pretty well starved before, but m W as formed over an inch in thickness. sgKus tlie weather has continued for seve ral days. ( Affairs now wear quite a different (aspect from what they did a month ago. | A general disposition and shifting of [troops into winter-quarters has, it is sup i posed, been completed, and this army now settled down into quiet for the (Sea son. The suffering thousands have been re duced to one-third of theif original num ber by: death, discharge, furlough and transfer. Transportation is better, but withal food is yet very meagerly supplied especially sanitary stores. The only ex citement of interest to all has been the rush of regiments into the veteran ser vice. .That' was an admirable Ml —a timely offer pf the war department. Re enlistments have gone on rapidly, which has fbeeh gratifying to all, and no doubt espe cially so to those cowardly men Who are .constantly opposing and fearing the draft. fMany of the men who do hot re-enlist, 'eay they w ould, if by.it they “ did not save the Copperheads.” The army here is in excellent spirits notwithstanding all the hardships and. privations suffered, in this recent cam paign. They are most hopefui, and but aV(mit impatiently, with bright anticipa tions, a comprehensive early spring move ment for final Complete victory. The sick and wounded here are still suffering considerably, oh account of the scarcity of proper diet—for such things a# tpe Sanitary and Christian Commission mostly furnish. While facilities for trans portation are much better—the way opened to favor our Commission, astonishing as fit may seem, comparatively no goods : come on to Bridgeport, Ala. At a time when, no other , portion of the army, re quires such prompt and speedy efforts to provide for the comfort of our suffering . soldiers, it is truly surprising that this department in which several bloody bat tles have been fought, and so much want ; add suffering incurred, should seem to have been so largely neglected. There seems to be much ignorance of the condi tion of this field. If only our friends at hdriie could know hos gjpcatthe cold, and how severe the suffering on account of it, and the scarcity of' good food, I think tthere would soon be amend of it. The (hospital buildings are miserable structures, Scarcely as comfortable as our bams at the : North. Many of them have wards of forty and fifty patients, with but one or no stOve, and mostly a great scarcity of fuel. I wish I could have the friends at home come away from their comfortable large stoves,, and hearths, and walk with me and down these wards, to witness iese wounded men shivering and shaking ith their broken thighs, bruised mangled ’ amputated limbs, and hear them ask me for a pair of drawers, Stockings or ihirta, repeatedly, and as often compelled to reply: “ No', my dear friend, lam very sorry to deny you, but we haven’t yet got them.” Said one man to me, “If only I could get an apple to cat! I’d give two dollars if I could get one.” Our '.rts ache to see suffering which we can. ieve, but to see that which we cannot ieve or alleviate, is a hundred fold ;e Bad and painful to us. Friends at home may ask, how and why the government does not make our ildiers more comfortable? In the first ziace, I reply for them: The houses found undestroyed are mostly 1 * 1 old Sheils,” and in the second to get fuel is almost as -,ch a matter of -life and death aS to get Though this country was once, for is around, an immense forest, so far is welled and laid waste that we cut and our wood 1 for miles. Where so thousand camp-fires are burning, hundreds of cord of wood consumed vast amounts of timber must be -ed. .•0 is another reason for the great , of the stores of the “ Christian Com ilon ”in this department. The Bast people have generally depended on Western churches to supply this and fields of the West. Indeed they leftook and no doubt supposed they ild accomplish the work, but it is a fact it instead of doing this, they have been ich more liberal toward the “ Sanitary ” ,a the “Christian Commission.” To iak correctly, I mightperhaps be allowed say that the United States Sanitary Com mission hare monopolized the charities of the pastern Christians. This is . proven tlfv'fact, that “thongh we are’ 1 in> this graiaf® Western department, two-thirds of theamountof goods coming to the agents of the Christian Commission in the army of the Cumberland, come from the East. Let not one section therefore depend on the other;—both Commissions need their friends to continue their great and glori ous work in behalf of our suffering coun trymen. I know the facts I have given need only be known by the ten thousand warm, willing, hearts and industrious hands, who have so faithfully sustained the aid societies in town, village, country and city, to fill up boxes and barrels, and. ship car-loads this way. And fathers and all patriots at home need only be asked by the ladies and pastors, and be told; of the many articles—fruits, stimur lants, &c., for the lack of which men will perish, to fill their-hearts with sympathy and compassion to “ give as the Lord hath prospered them.” Farinaceous, articles, canned and pickled fruit and stimulants we need very much, as also clothing. The work of the Lord continues —souls are still inquiring the way to heaven; men’s hearts are opened by suffering, and naturally religious at such times, they look up'for higher comfort and peace than the world can give. Men learn their own frailty—the vanity of human help—and sigh for help and strength that will not fail—a sustaining power imperishable and almighty. ■ 0 ! what a precious work to preach to men who like most of these are hungering and thirsting after righteousness; who ask you not to forget them in holding re ligious services—to come and sing, and pray with them. Though so “abundant in labors” and in the midst of much confusion and ex citement, we formed a part of the world’s great prayer meeting last week.' Daily, at 1 P. M., did the brethren coming from the East and the West, the North and the South “ sit down together ” in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; to mingle our voices in prayer and praise. And it is touching to hear those that .are “soldiers of the Cross,” as well as of their country, pleading with God for the salvation of their brave comrades. And there is something peculiarly "ptecibus in the thought that while all the Christians, friends, fathers and mothers, sisters and wives at home 1 were praying for the sol diers, the soldiers were praying too. We shall continue this interesting noonday sol diers prayer meeting. Brethren pr ; ay for us. I should love, if time andepace allowed me, to give some precious in our work here, but must • ipserve: them for my next. : ■ ' J. L. L. MOBAL,€O]J-TRASTS QT THE JAE, It is constantly urged by a class of persons, that this is a war for the negro. Sio far as the North is concerned'this state-, ment is false, for the North did not originate, the war at all, either for the negro or Ifor any other cause. The reproach which: is deemed; so stinging,, thersaarcasm. which is thought so scorching, lies solely upon the South, who did commence the war for the negro, and for the dominance of slavery on this continent.; This is their own account of the matter, as appears from. the. published declarations of their .higher officials. The North were forced to take arms in defence ! of the constitution and the laws, and the blows which have fallen on slavery were the result of the fact that the : South forced their domestic system into t the war, and made it a belligerent, and the whining,, either North or South, about the fatal thrusts it has received, is both pitiable: and ludicrous. It is urged, also, that a just ground of offence on the part of the South existed in the extreme views held by a portion of the North in regard to slavery. I have never been an apologist , for fanatical opinions on this subject, or any other, but freedom of speech is a necessary condition of the existence ef a free government, and where Christianity is: constantly* assailed ’by infidels, and the marriage and parental relations upon which rest society, and law by Socialists, without legal restraint, it would .hardly; do to prohibit all discussions on the subject of slavery, or to prevent the expres sion of the wildest theories, and the 1 stormiest denunciation. To demand this' would be to demand the abrogation of our free institutions. The revolt is for the exaltation and, extension of human servitude ; the resis tance of the loyal States and people, is necessarily to abase and destroy it as the special enemy of the nation, and the common enemy of mankind. The object of the insurgents is to perpetuate the bondage of four millions of blacks, and the ignorance and mental, slavery of six millions of white men, who'are necessarily tending to barbarism under a system which deprives them of schools and churches; in our armed resistance Of the traitors, we are providentially forced to declare the_“ acceptable year of the Lord, the opening of the prison doors,” to our poor white brethren, and the right of the black man to his wife and children, and a fair compensation for the labor of his hands. In this controversy, where is truth and justice ? Is it with the three hundred thousand slaveholders who are in insur rection against the government, or is' it with the freemen of the North, who return the poisoned chalice proffered to their nationality to the lips of slavery ? Is that the cause of righteousness which would, at the price of a nation’s life, extend the dark area of human bondage, and once more cover the sea with slave ships, the cries of whose cargoes of human souls rise above the roar of the waters, to pain the indignant Heavens ? Let the sea answer from her depths, where unnumbered thousands of dead slaves lie, cast alive out of the accursed slave ships; let the earth 5 reply, whose bosom has been bedewed PHI LADELPHI A, IH I'RSDAY, B B BStT AM $ ? ■ tWi with the sweat and tears of unrequited toil; let the sky respond, whose starry eyes have watched the gory steps of the midnight fugitive, with the bay of the. bloodhound on his track. As surely as God lives and reigns, as certainly as the divine Redeemer came to break every yoke and let the oppressed go free, so certainly and so surely is the cause of the North the ca.use of mercy and justice, of truth and righteousness! Why: any man at the North should' desire the perpetuation of African Slavery, after it has been laid open to destruction by the treason of slaveholders, is to me a. mystery. What is there in the moral influences.of domestic despotism to favor its continuance ? What is there in it . lovely and of good report, that it should be desired ?•- Is-it valuable as a system of labor ? No ! it is the worst of all, the most exhausting, the most wasteful of all.. Has it benefitted the slaveholders ? -No ! it has made traitors of the majority of them, and ruined alike their tempers and : their fortunes. Has it improved the six millions of poor whites! Alas! it ha§ degraded them even below the level of the slaves.: Has it benefitted the black race ? It has indeed partially civilized them, but that the providentially appointed time of their deliverance has come is manifest in the divine permission of this war; the report of the first cannon fired against Sumter was the voice of God, reverberating over sea and land, saying, "let this people go.”— -Rev. John G. Lord’s Thanksgiving Sermon. THE BRITISH ARM J , In the earliest organizatibns of theßri tish army, chaplains Appear as staff officers, with regulations to insure a proper respect for then! The second article of war of the United States army regulation s seem'S to be almost a verbal copy from that of the English ser vice. In 1640 the English regulations re quired that “ All- those who often and will ingly absent thfeinselves from divine ser vice shall be procceded at discre tion. All commanders are strictly charg ed to see Almighty God reverently served, and sermons and prayers duly frequent ed;”-and in 1686 they were modified so as to read as follows: “All officers and soldiers not having just impediment shall; diligently frequent divine service and ser moiyn all such places as shall be appointed for the regiment, troop, or company, and.- such as either wilfully or hegligentty. ab.- : sent themselves from divine service,; or'else being present, do behave themselves inde cently and iireverently during:the service, if they be .officers they shall be severely reprehended at a court-martial, but if pri vate soldiers they shall, for every first of fence, forfeit each twelve pence,” &c., But notwithstanding this article owihg to a loose mode of appointing, chap : , lains, and the absence of. a proper supervi sion and; recognition, the office fell into : disrepute, and the incumbents were fre quently fox-hunting, parsons,' given ■ to.; much wine, and fond of filthy lucre. In 1 popular burlesque of the last century, called “Adviceto Officers,” the auther de votes a chapter, to the chaplain, and in view of the want of dignity so often wit nessed, and the servile obsequiousnesss-tp the commanding offiCerj upon whose; noa he was dependent,' gives the represehtk||vqj of good morals some veiy.hard. hits, some' of which.are unfit for ears polite.. Among the inj unctions to the chaplain he says: ; “ If you: are not already expert at: it, it will bo highly proper for you to learn to carves. Ybur principal attention in acquiring tins accomplishment must be toward the dis-. covery of where the parts lie, which you must reserve for yourself and the commanding officer.” AboutL fifty years ago officers of high grade, who began to see that gentlemanly tastes and habits decreased as religion was sneered at in the mess-room, or ridiculed in the barracks, demanded that the chap laincy system should be reorganized.. By Parliament a separate chaplain’s, like the medical'; department, was created, and a; :chaplain ■ general appointed to provide pro per reading through various agencies, and, to superintend the distribution of chaplains in a. way to make them most serviceable. From that day there has been a gradual' disappearing of the jolly set of chaplains of the old regime, and in : -thOir place has: been substituted those who have .endeav ored to manifest Christ in their and life, and who .have been instrumental .in, leading young officers, like Hedley Yicars, into the church. Under the present regu lations of the Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic chap lams are tin the same footing, and are di vided into four classes. Those who have been in service less than fourteen years : have the rank of captain; those who have served Under twehty-one years,'and over 1 fourteen, -the lank of major those who ’ have, served under thirty years and over , twenty-onej the rank of lieutenant colonel; - :. and those who have served over thirty years, the rank of colonel. , , r If some such simplb system was 1 adopted in our army, one half of our chaplains' could be dispensed with, and not only'could the Government save thousands of dollars, but a class of men would enter the service that would be the peers of those who oc cupy the most influential pulpits of the land. Under present regulations the best men, for want of a definite position, are forced back into the pulpits - from whence they came into the army, while those who were unacceptable as preachers to those en gaged in civil., pursuits remain, and are looked upon as mere hangers-on, a species of camp followers. Every one, no matter what his manner of life, has respect enough for the common religion of the land, and which he was taught to respect in his childhood, to desire to see his Government proper provision for the the support of a a class .of clergymen in the army who, by their blameless life, their education, and courtesy, will secure the love and respect of officers and men. Should Congress annually appoint’;a' commission of clergymen of different shades , of belief, composed of men like Bishop, Simpson, of the Methodist ; Bishop Mcll vaine, of the Episcopal; Bishop Wood, of tho Roman Catholic ; Wayland, of the - Baptist ; Barnes or Boardinan, of the Pres byterian branches of the church, to con- vene and examine the credentials and ap pearance, and general fitness of candidates for vacant chaplaincies, there is no doubt that the esprit du corps of theirprofession Would lead them to select a much higher style of men than those which under the present system are ' generally chosen by the colonel and. officers nf a regiment. To prevent any denominational jealousy, it would be very easy to provide by law that not more than one-fifth or fourth of the chaplains at any one time should be long to the same, ecclesiastical body.— Washington Chroniclet.
