TnIN came Amulel:, and fought with Israel In 110011,11 m.
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and
go out, fight with ; to-morrow I will stand on thu
top of the hill, a ith the rod of Cod in my lrold.
1 . i.0 Joshua did as Moses had sit to him. and fought a ill,
Amakk and Al o es, Amvu and nor, cent up to the top
of the hill.
Awl it time to pace, alien Mesas held ap his hand, that
I , rael prevailed; and u lieu he let dun a his hand, Munich
prevailed,
.Tint 31n es' hands were heavy: and they tobk a stone
and put it under him. and Inc sat thereon, and Aalon and
Iltir stayed in;, his hands, the one on the one Side. and the
other on the other side; nod his bands were steady until
the going don n of the sin,.
And .lo+lin il:!Nconifited Ain stein and Ilk people with
the edge of the mioi.J.
And the lamd said unto Moses, Witte Oita torn memo
rial in a book, and rehearse it In the ears of Joshua; for I
sill uttetly put out the temembrance of Amalek from
lleasen.—lisonni : 6-14.
Tuts passage contains a short narra
tive of a battle between Amalek and
Israel. In obedience to a divine com
mand, and under Moses as their lead
er, the Israelites were marching to
take possession of the land promised
to their fathers; and the Amalekites—
descendants of Esau—attempted-to ob
struct their progress. The Amalekites
were the hereditary fees of the sons of
Jacob; they inherited the malice of
Esau ; and wished to prevent the fulfil
ment of the promise made to the de
scendants of Jacob. When these hos
tile brethren appeared in Rephidba,
Moses said to Joshua, "Choose us out
men, and go out, fight with Amalek ;
to-morrow I will stand on the top of
the hill, with the rod of God in my
hand." Joshua did as he was com
manded, and on the morrow he and
his chosen soldiers went out to fight,
while .Hoes stood on the top of the
hill and prayed. The battle was join
ed, and for a time its issue was-doubt
ful. The "scale of battle" wavered ;
for when Moses held up his hands, Is
rael prevailed, but when his hands
grew weary, and he let them down,
Amalek prevailed. But when Aaron
and Hur stayed up his hands until the
going down of the sun, Joshua discern-
tiled ..linalek and his people with the
edge of the sword. •
This portion of sacred history is
pregnant with instruction suited to our
circumstances and condition as a na
•tion.
The first thing claiming attention,
iq the character of the war between Ad -
Irk and Israel. On the part of Israel,
it was a war of defence. The conduct
of Amalek was such as compelled Mo
ses to make an appeal to arms. The
host of Israel was marching in obedi
ence to divine, signals given by the pil
lars of cloud and fire; and Amalok at
tempted to obstruct their progress.—
They wished to drive Israel from their
course; and prevent the accomplish
ment of a divine promise.
The second point in the narrative, is
the employment, in the war, of appropri
ate instrumentalities to defeat the purpose
of ..linalek. Moses did not command
the host to stand still, and see if God
would not miraculously destroy their
wicked brethren. He did not stretch
out over them the rod of God in his
hand, with which Ile had destroyed the
horsemen and the chariots of Pharaoh
in the Red_Sea. He did not look for
miraculous interposition. But he made
Joshua chief captain, and commanded
to select a body of men from the
thousands of Israel, and march out and
join battle with Amalek. He employ
ed appropriate means, such as in their
nature were suited to accomplish the
end.
The third point in the narrative, is
the conduct of .21Ioscs during the battle.—
Ile stood on the top of the hill with
the rod of Clod in hishand, and prayed
for victory. By his preparation for
the battle, he showed his belief in the
employment of means, and by prayer
for victory, the necessity of the pres
ence of (Jed to make them efficacious.
lie believed that the war was just ; he
organized an army, and appointed
Joshua as its leader, and then he re
sorted to prayer ffir success. The con
viction that his cause was a just one,
and his ample preparation to maintain
it, gave him confidence in his supplica
tion for victory.
The application of these things to
our condition as a nation is most obvi
ous. We are in the midst of a most
fearful struggle. What is its charac
ter ? Is it just or unjust ? Is this war
defensive or aggressive? Surely no
man, not affected with the moral insan
ity called SECESSION, can believe that
the conflict in which we are engaged
is for sectional supremacy. This is
not its nature. It is a struggle for na
tional life. The great question involv
ed is not one of mere party triumph
or sectional prowess; it is a question
that involves the fate of constitutional
Eberty and the destinies of the nation.
The man who does not see this, must
be deaf to the voice of reason, and
blind to the plainest teachings of
Providence as unfolded in our history.
Who that knows the aspect of affairs
and the interests at stake in this
struggle, does not see in its failure,
standing armies, perpetual wars, na
tional ruin and an oligarchy to perpet
uate bitter personal and domestic
wrong. And if God has revealed any
purpose in the antecedent history of
the American people, it is, that through
their instrumentality he intends- to un
fold and exhibit the capabilities of the
race, lie 'has led us to hope that we
are to be a great and permanent bles
sing to the nations. We are the freest,
and wisest, and happiest people on
earth. It is in no boastful spirit that
I say it, hut to prove that we are a pe
culiar people. God has blessed us
with privileges—educational, and civ
il, and religious—above the nations
around us. He is developing in our
midst, and for the world, a high stand
ard of Christian character and a high
type Christian civilization. His
past providence toward us warrants
the belief; that we arc a chosen people,
and that under the divine guidance,
we are marching up to take possession
of the full heritage of blessings prom
ised to the race. In our past history
we see the pillars of cloud and fire.—
God was with our fhthers, when they
made their home in the wilderness.—
lie was with their sons, and their
sons' sons, in all their early conflicts;
and under his fostering care, we have
grown to be a mighty nation, and
were about to take possession of an en
tire continent, on which to work out
the problems of human progress, and
to push human improvement to its ut
most limits. But Amalek started up
in our path. Men, whom we regard
ed as brothers, have become our re
lentless enemies, and are attempting
to turn back the tide of our prosperi
ty, and defeat the purposes of God, so
obviously indicated in oar history--
The character of our Federal Gov
ernment—the influence it is fitted to
exert in the advancement of the race
—the blessings, under God, it has al
ready secured, make it our imperative
duty to sustain it. Who, that knows
these things, and yet fails to come to
its support•, can be guiltless before
men or God ? It is too late to stand
still, and discuss the causes of this wick
ed rebellion. What if the voice of fa
natieisin were heard in the land? It
was but a feeble cry among the mil
lion voices that rent the air, pro
claiming adherence to the "Constitu
tion and laws." What if grievances
did exist? There were no acts of op
pression committed. Our enemies
themselves confess that it was the fear
of oppression, and not its actual exis
tence, that quickened into life this
monstrous iniquity. But it is needless
to dwell on these things. It is a time
fbr deeds, and not for words. The
monster has already reached his full
strength. lie stands at the threshold,
ready to destroy us—ready to trample
in lhe_dust what we hold valuable and
sacred. He must ho met, and disarm
ed of his power. If we, through fear
or supineness, fail to do this, we will
go down, in history, to the genera
tions that will come after us, branded
with shame , and up to the God who
will judge us, to receive the curse of
cowardice, that we will so richly mer
it.
Our cause is just. It is self-defence.
It is the defence of the Government
that God gave us—the preservation of
the distinguished blessings he be
queathed to us, to be handed down to
our children. To keep and transmit
them unimpaired, is a duty we owe to
the generations that will come after
us; it is a solemn, religious duty we
owe to God. •
But we must not stand idle ; and ex
pect fire from heaven to smite this
monster, and save us. We need not
look for miraculous interposition.—
Rad Moses waited for this, the whole
host of Israel would have been scatter
ed and destroyed. We must arm our
selves, and march forth to meet the
foe. This is what Moses directed to
be done. This is what we must do, if
WC would maintain our integrity as a
people. Joshua, was made chief cap
tain. Chosen men were called out,
and armed, and led forth to battle.—
This example is for our imitation.—
Men must go forth front their homes
and their firesides. A picked host
must be gathered to endure the toil
and the danger of the 'camp and
the battle-field. The citizen must
become a soldier; and the resour
ces of the nation must be taxed to
equip and maintain him. Until this
is done, we need not expect to succeed;
we can have no just ground of confi
dence in our prayerS for victory and
permanent peace. IL is cheering to
know, that so many brave men have
responded to the call of onr Chief Exe
cutive, and are already in the field; and
that others are preparing to go forth,
and, if needs be, "to lay their lives on
their country's altar." Every Chris
thin patriot should be ready to "pledge
his life, and fortune, and sacred honor"
in this holy cause ; for what is life
without freedom, or fbrtune without
protection, or honor without both ?
But while we employ ample and ap
propriate means to suppress this re
bellion, we must not overlook the
truth taught in this narrative—that
success in war depends as much on the
prayers of the people at home as on
the skill and bravery of the soldiers in
the field. Moses did not rely alone on
the skill of Joshua and the courage of
his army, for success. lie looked to
God for victory. Ire resorted to
prayer, and when he prayed, Israel
prevailed; but when his hands grew
weary, mid he let them down, A malek
prevailed ; and when Aaron and Hur
stayed op his hands, Ainalek was rout
ed, and smitten with the edge of the
sword,
Qur immense armies, our iron-clad
ships, and our vast resources, will ac
complish nothing, unless God,. who
giveth the victory, is on our side.—
These will but add to the magnitude
of the disaster, and the shame of the
defeat, that must follow, if the God of
Battles be not our leader. We must
invoke his presence, for in his hands
is the issue. lie can subdue our ene
mies, and make them to be at peace
with us. Prom him cometh the wis
dom that is needful to direct in the
cabinet and in the field. We are in
his hands, and should, bow ourselves .
before him. Let us take Moses, the
man of God, as our model, and pray
—pray earnestly, and without ceasing,
that God would smite down this mod
ern Amalek, and restore us again to
the blessedness of a united and pros
perous people.
The evils of this rebellion did not
spring out of the grohnd. They are
judgments sent on us for our sins.—
As a nation, we have winked at op
pression ; we have polluted the holy
Sabbath, by legalizing its desecration ;
we have been vainglorious of our
greatness, as though by our own might
we had gotten it—and God has visit
ed these evils upon us. It lm . .comes us,
then, to humble ourselves, and beseech
him to restore us to his favor.
God would have led the Israelites
at once into the promised land, but
they rebelled against him, and ho sent
them to wander in the wilderness;
and it was while there that Amalek
met them. It was sin that brought
the judgment of war; but it was the
armed host and the prayers of Moses
that brought deliverance. So s i n h as
plunged us into the horrors of civil
strife, and nothing but vigorous effort,
and humble, fervent prayer to
mighty God, can save its.
It is said that Noses stood on the
top of the hill with the rod of God in
his hand. This was the rod by Odell
the miracles before Pharaoh were
wrought; the rod that was stretched
Over the Red Sea to divide its waters,
and bring deliverance to Israel and
destruction to Egypt. When the Is
raelites saw it, they were reminded of
past exhibitions of power in their be
half, and were encouraged to trust
God in their present conflict. And
have we no past deliverances to re
call ? No monuments of his favor to
encourage us, when we go out to fight,
and come to make supplications in his
presence? Let us recall the eviden
ces of his past goodness. They will
stimulate us to vigorous effort and
earnest prayer for success in the pres
ent crisis.
The rod of God, in the hand of Moses,
was also evidence to Israel that they
were engaged iu the Lord's cause.—
And have we no evidence that our
cause is his? Is it not the cause of
freedom—the cause of human prog
ress? And is not this the cause of God ?
Let these things give us confidence.—
God's ear is open to hear the prayer of
a nation that humbles itself before him,
and supplicates his favor in such a
cause as this.
Have you access to a mercy•seat?—
If not, hasten to seek it through Jesus
Christ; for an imperiled nation, endan
gered kindred, and your own soul need
it. This is au hour when prayer is
needed—an hour when God expects
every one to be instant in prayer ;" for
if thou boldest thy peace at such a
time as this, deliverance will arise to
the cause of God from another place,
but thou and thy father's house shall
be destroyed." And now, may I not
bespeak your prayers in this hour of
darkness and peril ? In the name of
God, I enter a claim to them. I be
lieve the cause in which we are en
gaged is his. Tle gave us our national
, lxiste.nce, and placed a mission before
existence, and
us. That mission is not yet fulfilled,
and shall we fail to act out' part in its
fulfillment? Will we perish in our
infancy, for our wickedness ? If we
perish, our epitaph in the graveyard
of nations will be written—UNPAITII
FUL TO TIIEIR MISSION, AND TIIEREEORE
DEAD.
0 u the behalf of humanity, I bespeak
your prayers. I believe our cause is
the cause of humanity. if our free
institutions are smitten down in this
conflict, the world will mourn.—The
potentates of Europe will rejoice, but'
the millions of their down-trodden and
oppressed subjects will weep. It is to
free America that their eyes are turn
ed. It is to her shores that they di
rect their steps, when they fly from
the thraldom of their own. Bat if our
light is extinguished, and our sun sets
in blood, the oppressed of all lands
will have lost their asylum, and to all
human view, the world will be left to
toil on, in subjection to priestcraft and
kingly power. I ask your prayers, in
the name.of the families that have giv
en Ilithers, and brothers. and sons to
go forth to the hardships of the camp and
the dangers of the battle-field. These
men have.laid aside the implements of
peace, and put on the harness of war;
exchanged the quiet home for the noise
of gathering armies; the endearments
of the domestic circle for the bloody
embraces of "grim-visaged war."—
For these sad and broken households,
I ask your prayers. For the loved
and loving ,ones, who have gone out
from them, I entreat your fervent sup
plication. They have marched forth,
braving disease and death, to roll back
the tide of desolation from our homes
and our firesides; and it is our sacred
privilege to commend them to God,
'who alone can shield them froze the
pestilence that destroyeth and the ar
row that ilieth.
And have we no suitable return to
make for this heroism ? No sympathy
to express ? No treasure to pledge ?
No prayers to offer that God would
keep. them, and crown their efforts
with success ? it cannot be, in an
hour like this, when the nation is sha
ken to its centre, that any Christian
patriot will withhold his hand, or grow
weary in prayer. When wives, and
sisters, and mothers are emulating the
self-denial of Spartan women—and
husbands, and brothers, and sons, tile
determined courage of Spartan men,
shall any one who remain at home be
indifferent spectators? Shall we prove
faithless to the tremendous issues be-'
fore us, and recreant to the mighty
trust reposed in our bands ? If we do,
we are not worthy to be freemen, and
should be slaves; and when we die, our
memory Amid rot.
If ever there was a time when it
behooved philanthropists and patriots
to labor and pray, it is now. The in
terest of oppressed millions demands
it. Tile safety and success of our ar
mies demand it. The thousands of
homes that aro desolate, and of hearts
that aro broken and widowed, call us
to supplicate God, who is " their help
and their shield."
Our Army Correspondence.
From the 84th Regt., P. V.
We have received the following com
munication, from E. Will Thomas
to his mother in this place :
CAMP NEAR ALEXANDRIA, VA.,
Sept. 5, 1862.
DEMI MOTHER received your
letter some time ago, but had no op
portunity to answer until now. For
the last 14 days we have been doing
nothing but fighting, and, finally, weer
ordered to retreat to our old heatiquar
ters—Alexandria.
At Manassas we passed a very
rough time i you can think for
yourself when I toll you that on last
Saturday, the 30th August, the artil
lery firing was as rapid as the roll on a
drum, and the musketry could not be
heard for the thunder of the cannon.
I honestly believe that if I have han
dled one wounded man, I have handled
a thousand. The field of battle was
the most dreadful sight I ever beheld.
At the hospital to which the wounded
were taken, I saw three flour barrels
full of the legs and anus of the poor
fellows. I never want to see such an
awful sight again.
We are now quartered at Alexan
dria, Va., and I expect we \rill be al
lowed a rest which we very much need
I will have to close for the present, in
order to go to the hospital, and attend
to the wounded.
I remain your 8011,

DEAR GLOBE :—Thinking a few lines
from this camp might interest you I
will give you a short letter. This is
the 102 d Illinois Regt. Col. )10Furty
has been Lieut. Governor of the State.
Our Company was raised about _North
Henderson and Hidger's Corner, _Mer
cer county, 111. Capt. Likely - is liked
by all the men. He has quite a num
ber of' Huntingdon county boys and is
himself one. The Major says we are
the quietest and best behaved company
in the regiment. We are encamped
in the fair ground of Knox county,
and number between 900 and 1,000.
Our company has some sixty married
men and Nye cannot act badly, as our
families are watching us. We -have
preachers in the ranks and our captain
is an elder, but there are'some rough
men however, to balance these. We
have our clothing but have not got our
arms, &e.. If this suits you I will drop
you 0 line from Dixie if I get there.—
I hope you will send the Globe in re
turn. Yours respectfully,

I.lllowN, aged 20 years, 10 months, and
19 days.
The subject of the above notice was
one of those retiring, unassuming per
sons, who have to be well
known to be appreciated. He
was an affectionate husband, a kind
father, and an obliging neighbor; even
bearing in mind the "Golden Rule,"
to do unto others as you would have
them do to you. Although prostrated
by a lingering illness, not a murmur
escaped his lips. He had his lamp
trimmed and burning, and aniottsly
awaited the coming of his Lord.
Ilia friends mourn—but not as those
who have no hope, fooling assured
that their loss is his elcrnal gain.

the upright, for the end of that man is

A REBEL PROCLAMATION.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 11.—The following
proclamation was issued by the rebel
Bradley T. Johnson at Frederick, on
the day he took possession of that
place, viz:
To the People of Maryland
After sixteen months of oppression
more galling than the Austrifor tyran
ny, the victorious army of the South
brings freedom to your doors. Its
standard now waves from the Poto
mac to Mason and Dixon's Line. The
men of Maryland, who during the last
long months have been crushed under
the heel of this terrible despotism, now
have the opportunity for working out
their own redemption, for which they
have so long waited, and suffered and
hoped.
The Government of the Confederate
States is pledged by the unanimous
vote of its Congress, by the distinct
declaration of its President, the soldier
and statesman Davis, never to cease
this war until Maryland has the op
portunity to decide for herself her own
late, untrammelled and free from Fed
eral bayonets.
The people of the South, with unan
imity unparalleled, have given their
hearts to our native State, and hun
dreds of thousands of her sons have
sworn with arms in their hands that
you shall be free.
You must now do your part. We
have the arms here for you. lam au
thorized immediately to muster in for
the war companies and regiments.—
The companies of one hundred men
each. The regiments of ten companies.
Come all who wish to strike for their
liberties and homes. Let each man
provide himself with a stout pair of
shoes, Ilfood blanket and a tin cup—
Jackson ' s men have no baggage.
Officers are in Frederick to receive
recruits, and all companies formed will
be armed as soon as mustered in.—
Rise at once!
Remember the cells of Ft.lenry
Remember the dungeons of Fort La
fayette and Fort Warren ; the insults
to your wives and daughters, the ar
rests, the midnight searches .of your
houses!
Remember these, your wrongs, and
rise at once in arms and strike ibr lib
erty and right.
