I apeak the words of soberness and
truth, when I tell you, that ninetcen
tweulieths of our Division, aro opposed to
tho further prosecution of this war. They
aro almost uuauiinous in the declaration,
that this war is waged for tho abolition of
slavery, and not for tho restoration of tho
Union, on tho basis of tho present Consti
tution. They believe that, whatever may-
have been thu President's policy at tho
eouimunojuicnt of this rebellion, ho has of
Ute become the main instrument of ram
pant Abolitionism. That his emanoipa
tion proclamation makes us tho Agents
of negro jretdom, wheu our object was
solely to rcstoic the iaws, as our fathers
made them. Our men feel sensitive on
that subjeot. A large majority of whom
open.y denounce the whole scheme. They
further buliovo that it is useless to carry
on this war for the purpose of re union,
with the present known policy of tho Ad
ministration, published to us all. it a
war of subjugation is to be adopted, it
will require but little calculation to tell
him how many of our vast army will be

Our comrado left his home to fight tho
battles of his country ; discharging all
tho duties of a soldier promptly, until
months ago ho fell sick of the incase..
While ou a bed of sickness he thought
seriously of his soul's salvation ; and then
he appeared to have clear views of tho
plan of redemption through tho cross of a
Redeemer. Recovering of tho mealos he
looked forward to tho time when ho wou d
again bo ablo to join his rcimenf ; but i
slight exposuro brought on a severe cold,
which proved to much for his reduced
frame, and although day after day return
ed, they brought no strength to him.
Hut while he felt himself slowly sinking
into the grave, and his bopily powers fast
failing him, his mind grew stronger, and
his trust in tho Iljdecmer boconus more
sieadfast. IIj could look forward to the
future with confidence, wiih joy. Ho was
perfectly happy in tho view of death; nni
atlhough ho had a desire to live, that ho
might onca moro look upon tha f- s of
dear friends at homo, ho felt that to dej rt
and ba with Christ would bo far better.
Towards tho close of his last i.lness, and
whilo his mind wandered, ho sang hymns
and prayed alternately ; and thus his spirit
passed from its frail houso on earth to
mansions of glory on high.
