There are over 700,000 men now in the
.my' and navy, who have left the comforts
of home,to endure hardship, and, it may
be, (lie for us. A large' number of them
have now no means of religious instruction,
and all are exposed to the demoralizing in
fluences of war. We pfopose to encourage .
in them whatever is good, and keep fresh
in their remembrance the instruction's of
earlier years, and to develop, organize, and
make effective the religious element in the
army and navy.
The field is open to.us. We can have
free access to their immortal souls—the
chaplains desire and call for our aid—the
Government wish it—and the men ask for
and receive religious reading and teaching,
with an eagerness most touching.
Thousands, who at home never entered
the house of God, and had none to care for
their souls, now in imminent peril,. desire
to know of ? him who can give them the vic
tory over death, through our Lord Jesus
Christ. The time is short*hat . we' do,
must be done quickly.
Brethren and friends, we have made
known to you our purposes and plan of op
eration. Our appeal is in the soldiers' be
half'. It is for your sons and brothers, and
for many, too, who have no parents or near
relatives, that this work is undertaken.
We beseech you by all that is valuable in
our national institutions, nay, by all that
is inspiring in the Christian faith, and
comforting in the hope of heaven, that you
come promptly forward' to encourage and
sustain these young men in their patriotic
service, and to secure to them those precious
spiritual blessings which are needed every
where, and at all times, but especially by
those whose lives are in jeopardy every
hour, who are subject to suffering, and
want, and at any moment may be called, to
die on the field of battle, far away from
their fathers' sepulchres.

On Breaking the Military Force of the Rebels
According to the Will of God.
Rev. Dr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, has
an able, patriotic article on the " Civil War
—its Nature and End," in the December
number of the Danville Review.
Speaking of the union people in the Con
federate States, he says > " So far is it from
being credible that their deliverance cannot
he accomplished, except by thi) slaughter of
vast populations, nor maintained afterwards
except by immense standing armies, all the
facts of this sad case show, that'wlat has
happened in all ages and countries will
happen again here, and the mass of the,
people speedily and joyfully return , to their
allegiance as soons as: the military force of
the rebels is broken, and society is allowed
to return to its ordinary condition." Per
haps no man in the United States is better
prepared to form a correct judgment as to
our national affairs and the proper course
to be pursued, than tir. Breckinridge; and
his whole article deserves attentive consid
eration.
But how is this military foice to be
broken speedily? lat. By (an increase of
our army and munitions of War. 2d. By
such a regard' to the will of God that we
may expect his favor in overwhelming the
rebels this Winter. Secretary Cameron
left the consideration of the first, very prop
erly, in the language It Will be for Con
° ress to decide whether the a'rinY shall be
•
'Luther augmented, with a view to a more
speedy termination of the war, or whether
it shall be confined to the strength already
fixed by law." Intelligent and patriotic
people will desire eemgress to make an in
crease. Ist. Because, when we have gained
territory in Missouri and Kentucky, we have
had to recede from it for want of men to
maintain it, and new battles must be fought
over to re-possess it. We are maul
thstly unable to make an aggressive move
ment at all points, without great danger, of
.eing driven back and defeated, as we have
Peen in some instances. 3d. Unless the
ebellion is conquered in the Gulf States
:fare the return of Summer, our forces
ill have to be withdrawn, for they could ,
not endure the climate, and all that we may
have gained will be lost: 4th. The danger
•y delay of getting into difficulty with for
eign Powers, will be' greatly increased.
The last and most important reason is, that
more lives -would probably be lost, and
greater expense incurred, by having under
arms, for one or two years or more, our
600,000 men, then ter have a million of
men, (which Secretary Cameron said he
could have received;) and thus end the
struggle in three months. So long as w e
remain unable to make a decided aggressive
movement, the rebels maintain their cour
age, and the suffering Union men, with their
families, become disheartened—they are
robbed and murdered. Sympathy for them,
economy of the lives of the soldiers and of
sans in the end, demand a sufficient fore e
to immediately overpower the rebel's.
But the second and most important is,-to
regard 'the will of God, and to rely upon his
power. Not long after our days of humil
iation, Portions of the army moved on the
Lord's day,. and, were diseeiblitted. , l§inee
then, Secretariei in the Cabinet and _Gen
erals have reviewed troops on that day, to
the interference of the public worship of
the soldiers; and there has been a manifest
tendency to disregard the anthbritY of God
in many quarters; but not by our President
and present Commander-in-chief. If the
leaders of this nation and the majority of
the people think they can
.carry oat even ,
lawful lindertakingwobne;ary to the Divine.
will, as to the object, the time and manner,
they may protract the itar•until they
. are
taught by sad eipertencei ae some ancient
nations were, that " the' 4T , ord.-liath pre,:..
paredhis throne in thu,heavhs, and his
kingdom ruled over all." • 4 1:ty his permit
ting other nations to join ataiest us, we=
may foresee how it is possible firo .have a
" thirty years' war," RS there was in Europe
from 1618 to 1648; which, when ended, left
Bohemia with about three-fourths of a mil
lion where there were three millions or
people.; 'ln' the .Palittinate;,
f the Rhine
there was only one person where there had
been fifty. In Saxony, 000,000 perished
in two years. The city of Augsburgh re
tained:lig/ger thousand out of eighty
thousiled 'of itb in :habitants. In Bavaria,,
in 1648, two hundred villages were burned,
and elsewhere similar destruction. if we
do not 'share terribly in the (g great battle "
preceding the millennium, we must "fear
God aid keep his comtnandmenta."
Temperance Items.
THE PIEDGE.—i had no cap, except an
old one; the better one I bad pledged for
liquor, I had pledged my wife's dresses,
aloo, and, in' fact, everything but my credit.
That ,I could not pledge i for I had none;
and kit last I.thought 1 would pledge myself.
I did pledge to total abstinence, and ever
since I have been a happy man.—An Old
Soldier.
DRUNKENNESS IN FRANOE.—The Min-
Wer of the /nterior has addressed a circu
lar to the prefects of departments, stating
that though the Government has not
thought fit to obtain the passing of a law
against drunkenness, it has resolved, in
order to diminish the vice, to enforce with
greater severity the decree of 1851, rela
tive to wine shops and public houses. The
circular reminds the prefects that in the
last legislativesession, numerous petitions
praying for the adoption of measures for
the repression of drunkenness, were pre
sented to the Senate, and were referred by
it to the. Minister of the Interior.
What will those say to this who have
persisted in affirming, there is no drunken
ness in wine growing and wine drinking
countries?
MASSACHUSETTS is reaping the fruit of
its noble educational,- temperance, and reli
gious efforts in sending forth regiment after
regiment of rare discipline and energy;
though we wish we could hear among them
less irreverence of God's name. His Ex
cellency, Gov. Andrew, has shown himself
the first of patriots. The Legislative Tem
perance Society, we understand, will early
be organized and will, we hope, infuse into
all branches a spirit of true temperance.
THE TEMPERANCE MEN of Worcester,
havii gained a great victory, in the election
of P. Emery Aldrich, Mayor, by one hun
dred and thirteen majority, over the rum
candidate. They have also elected a whole
ticket of their Board of Aldermen and`
Sheriff.
PERSONAL.
GeV. Hicks, of Maryland, whose loyal and
discreet course has done so much to save
that State from rebellion, in his final Mes
sage to the Legislature, says :—" For what
ever of good the great Disposer of events
has made me the matruthent, and for what
ever of errof the fallibility of my judg
ment has led me to commit, during my
term of office, I am content to await the
just verdict of my fellow-citizens when
peace and sober counsels, experience, and
calm reason, shall enable them to approve
without partiality, and to condemn without
prejudice."
Spargeuniant, according to the English
papers, is being sown broadcast at Oxford
and Cambridge. It is stated that more
than two thousand copies of Spurgeon's
Sermons have been distributed to under
graduates in the streets, and a volume has
been sent to every resilient M. A., at both
Universities.
The late Prince Albert, so says the London
Critic, should not be held responsible for
the stories which were told of him several
years ago, about his being a supporter of
what was then called "German interests!'
In 1854 Lord Palmerston was charged by
the Queen with sending dispatches to for
eign powers without her royal sanction, and
was dismissed from the post of Foreign Sec
retary, by the advice of the Priiice Consort.
Lord Palmerston took his revenge by per
suading the editors of certain . so-called
" liberal"•journals to denounce the Prince
as a supporter of the German interests, and
hence resulted his unpopularity- at that
time. The same paper states that it has
reason to believe that Prince Albert vigor- 1
ously .opposed the movements of England
toward a war with Ameiica.
Mr..Mudie's Library-Mr. Mudie is a book
seller in London, who some years ago es=
tablisjied a circulating library, from which
by the' paythent of a moderate quarterly
subscription, any one might obtain *
reading of all new books issued, as well

Pennsylvania Legislature,
The Legislature has not yet got fairly into the
passing of bills. Many are proposed. There is
a little too much partyism for the public good, at
suoh a time as this. Loyally is, however, strong-.
ly exhibited.
Henry D. Moore has been reelected State
Treasurer. ,
A proposition is before both Howes, and like
ly to prevail, to appoint a Committee to investi
gate the means by which the bill of last session
commuting - the Tonnage Tax on the Pennsylva
nia Railroad, and some other bills, was carried.
Corruption is alledged.
JAIL 16.--LSENATE.—Mr. Lane, of Kansas was

Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, from the Committee
on Finance, reported back the House joint reso
lution declaratory of the , purpose of Congress to
impose a tax.
Mr, Carlisle, of Va., objected to the considera
tion of the resolution, but subsequently withdrew
his objection. The resolution was then passed—
yeas, 89 ; nay, Mr. Powell. • ,
After an,executive session of three, hours, the
senate confirmed the nomination of:Mr. Cameron
as Minister to Russia, bya vote of 24 against'l4,
HOIISE.—The fortification bill, appropriating
over five millions, was discussed and passed.

Mr. Wilson offered an amendment as a substi
tute, to wit: That the President, with the con
sent of the Senate, shall appoint two additional
Assistant Secretaries of War, at a salary of
$3,000 each, the office td last for one year. The.
amendment was agreed to, and the bill was
nonsu.—The Senate bill authorizing.the P res
ident to appoint two additional Assistant Secre
taries of War, with a salary of $3,000 per annum,
to perform such duties as the Secretary may

pointment to be one year, was passed, and the
House adjourned.
Austria and the United States.
It will be recollected that a few years ago, an
Austrian man-of-war attempted to take a Ger
man, by force, from •one of our vessels, in the
harbor of Smyrna ; the intin being a native of
that country, but having emigrated to the
United States. Captain Ingraham, of our
navy, was in the harbor at the time, and hearing
of the event he at once laid his ship alongside of
the Austrian, with ports open and guns shotted,
and demanded the captive. He was successful.
Now, in the Trent affair, we took two of our men
from a merchant vessel, and it was Austria'sturn
to call our attention to our own principles. The
officialletter to our Governmentis entirely retipect
ful. Its purport will appear from Mr. Seward's,
answer as follows:
[lvlr. Seward to Chevalier Huleemen.]
DEPARTMENT OP STATE, 1
WASHINGTON, JEDURTy 9, 1882. f
To the Chevalier Huleernun, 4.c., ic. , d . c.—Sis.:
—I have submitted to the President the note you
left with me, which was addressed to you on the
18th of , December last, by Count Reohberg,
touching the alair of the capture and detention
of the British contract steamer Trent,by Captain
Wilkes, of the San Jacinto. I send you a copy
of the correspondence which has passed on that
exciting subject between this Gcrirernment and
the 'Governments of Great Britain and France,
and I have to request that you will transmit
these papers to Count Rechberg. The Imperial
Government will learn from them two important
facts; viz. : .
Krat, That the United States are not only in
capable for %moment, of seeking to disturb the
peace of the world, but are deliberately just and
friendly in their intercourse with all foreign na
tions; and. secondly, that they. will, not be un
faithful to, their traditions and policy as an ad
vocate of: the broadest liberality, in the applica
tion of the principle of international law to the
conduct of maritime warfare. The United
States, faithful to their sentiments, and while at:
the same time careful of their political Constitu
tion, will sincerely`rejoice if the occasion which
gave rise to this correspondence shall be im
proved se as to obtain a revision of the law of
nations, which will render more definite and cer
tain the rights and obligations of States in the
time of war. I shall esteem it a favor, , air, if
you will charge yourself with the care of ex
pressing these sentiments to your Government,
and will at the same time assure Count Reoh
berg that the President appreciates very highly
the frankness and cordiality which the Govern
ment of Austria has practiced on an occasion of
such great interest to the welfare of the United
States.
I avail myself of these, circumstances to offer
to you, sir, renewed assurances of my very high
comdderatioxi.

Great Battle at Somerset, Hy.
We have so` many magnified accounts of battles
in Eastern Kentucky, that we give news from
there with some caution. From what seems to
be reliable telegrams, we .give information of a
battle near Somerset, between the forces of Gen.
Schcepff, and the rebels under. Gen. Zollicoffer.
If the victory is as complete as is reported, it
will open up the way to Cumberland Gap, and
thence„ to Eastern Tennessee. It may also lay
Gene. Johnson and Buckner under the necessity ,
of retiring from Bowling Green.
CtsourtaTt, Jan. 20.—The Lexington corres
pondent.. of the Commercial gives the following
account of Saturday's battle:
Zolliooffer; learning that the. Federal „force
had appeared,* his renr, marched out of his, en
trenchmenti:a 3 o'clock on Saturday morning,
and attacked: Sahoepff in his camp, whose pickets
were driven in at an early hour, aid the attack
was made before daylight. The battle is report-.
ed have'raged with great fury until 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, when, Zollicoffer having been-
killed; the whole rebel force fled in confusion to
their camp. Their loss is not stated, but it is
thought to-be heavy.. The Bailey Peyton killed
is a eon of the ex-member of-Cengrese from
Ten
nessee.`
CINCINNATI., Jan. 21.—The Conpnerciar a Louis
ville dispatch says; Dispatphes received at Head
Quarters announce that the battle did not take
place, on Saturday, but on Sunday morning; that
Gen. Thomas continued the pursuit till night.
Our forces followed the rebels, who ran befaie
them the wildest ponfusion, like a flock of
frightened sheep, close up tatheir intreichments,
on the North 'bank of the river. In front of
these we laid, all night, expecting to storm.

boats and barges the euemy managed to get

tents, and eighty wagon-loads of Quartermas
ter's and 'medical stores, which fell into our
hands. Oar troops had possession of their in
trenchments early this morning.
After reaching the opposite side, the rebels dis
persed in every direction.
Two hundred dead and wounded rebels were
picked up on, the field. Zollicoffer was found in
a wagon mortally wounded.
Our loss is not definitely ascertained, but must
have been considerable. The surgeon of the
10th Indiana regiment telegraphed that his regi
ment had seventy killed and wounded.
Col. Munson's brigade, including the 10th and
18th regulars and some Kentucky regiments, re
inforced Gen., Thomas on Saturday night. They
made a forced march , of tmenty-five miles,
thrOugh heavy roads, and managed to arrive
three hours before the commencement of the
fight, in which they took a glorious part, in
spite of their fatigue.
The tenor of all official dispatches goes to
show that the affair resulted in themost brilliant
victory of the war.
No prominent officers are said to be killed on
our side.
Gem Sohoepff was unable to cut off the re
treat of the enemy, owing to the Vitrify character
of the country and the obstruction of All the
roads by felled trees.
Loursvutz, January 21.—There is no news
from Gen. Thomas to-day. No details of the
Federal loss have yet been received. General
Thomas has taken the steamer and nine barges
in which the rebels conveyed theirforces across
the Cumberland, and which, in their precipitate
Sight, they failed to destroy." The theory at
headquarters is, that using that boat to convey
his troops across the river, Southward, and pro
viding other means of transportation, General
Thomas has been too busy to send the details of
the recent fight. •
Aiiuonri.
An official report-from Major General Halleck
has been received, Which says , that Major Hub
bard's cavalry attacked a rebellorce of 900 men
at Silver Creek, in .Howard County, under Col.
Poindexter, on; the 18th inst., and 'routed them.
The enemy's loss was 40 killed and 60 wounded.
Oar, loss was 6 killed and 19 wounded. We cap
tured 160 horses,. 60 wagt;ns, 105 tents, 80 kegs
of powder, and 28 prisoners.
ROLLA, January 18.—The indioatio are that
all the troops at this point will, moveiVestward,
except one or two: regiments to guard the post.
The enemy's pickets extend fourteen miles from
Springfield, and Price's force is estimated at
about 12,000.
Sr. Lours, January 20.—John B. Henderson,
Denise; Democtet, a member of the State ,Con
vention„ and an uncompromising Union man, and
Brigadier General in the State service, has 4 been
appointed. by Lieut. Gov. Hall to fill Trusten
Polk's seat in the U. S. Senate. '
Botta ' January 17.—The brigade which has
left herefor the West within the last three days,
is eoriposed of the 35th and 36th Illinois, and
the 25th. and 44th. Missouri, and Bachoff's and
Ileffinan's batteries, under command of Gen.
Osterhaus. Another brigade, under Gen. Sigel,
wilt probably leave in a day or two and Gen.
Sigel will doubtless assume command of the en
tire division at the proper time..
Washington.
January 16.—0 n Tuesday, the rebel batteries
on the Potomac fired twenty-six shots at an oyster
pimgy, but did not hit, it. Yesterday a fleet of
similar vessels ran - the blockade without being
greeted with such salutes, and arrived safely at
Washington.
Gen. Cameron, in-replying -to the resolution of
the Senate, calling for information relative to
army contracts and payment , of troops, says
"I take occasion to state that I myself have
not made a single contract for any purpose
whatever, having always interpreted the laws of
Congress as contemplating that the heads of Bu
reaus, who are experienced and able officers of
the regular army, shall make all contracts for
supplies for the branches of the service under
their charge respectively."
The Committee on the Conduct of the iyar,
have resolved to advise the immediate passage of
a bill to punish with death any person who com
mits a fraud upon the Government, whereby , a
soldier is bodily injured, as for instance in the
sale of,unsound provisions. Also, to punish
with imprisonment'and confiscation of all prop
erty and Government dues, all contractors who in
any way defraud the Government in the quality
of, goods sold, or services pretended t 6 be ren
dered to .1116 Government-
The Givernment Contract Investigating Com
mittee are now engaged upon the subject of al
leged fronds in this vicinity. They discoier that
the same horses have been twice soldto the Gov
ernment. Superintendents and inspectors are
bribed to certify to horses, sometimes selling
them to - private individuals; that the enormous
amounts paid by the War Department for trans
portation., induce strong competition among rail
road companies, so that many Colonels in the
West, moving their regiments East, have reeeivtd
each foam $1,500, to $2,000 bonus; that some
sutlers are making $3,000 profits per month;
that nearly all the' sutlers South of the Potomac
sell - Minor with the knowledge of the officers;
that it is smuggled in boxes marked " Govern
ment and Capital stores," or packed in barrels,
And marked "Beef."
Sharpe's rifles have been ordered for the Sharp
Shooters, at Col. Berdan's request.
T,/te Commissioner of. Patents has issued a cir
cular, in 'which he says.: the cultivation of cot
ton in the free States is beginning to attract gen
eral attention.
So far, about one thousand prisoners on each
side have been exchanged, nearly five hundred
of whom were connected with the army of the
Potomac. The system of exchanges, inaugu
rated by our Government, is fully reciprocated
by the rebel authorities.
Jan. I.7.—The fortifiaation bill which passed
the House to-day appropriates an aggregate of
$5,5360,000.
Gen. McClellan has continued to improve in

the Conduct of the War, yesterday, was mu
tually satisfactory. Without entering into. any

patch than the most sanguine were inclined to

fortigm Phis.
Late arrivals frora Europe bring tidings of a
far better state of feeling, both in England and
France, toward, our country. The-news of the
surrender of' Mason and Slidell, had not yet
reached England, but the ebullition of the war
spirit had subsided;-a strong feeling had shown
itself, among,the substantial masses, opposed to
war ; and the quiet tone .of leading American
journals had inspired hope. Public stocks,
:which had fallen off four per cent., had risen to
former quotation. The price of cotton, which
had fallen under a prospect of a raising of the
blockade' by the war, had advanced; and grain,
which had risen' under the expectation that a
war would prevent imports, had declined.
Next week we look for a response to the news
on the Trent affair, and for an account of the
meeting of Parliament.

DlED—November 11tb, near West Alexander, after a short
illness, Mrs. ELIZA M. WILSON, aged 36 years.
In her fourteenth yea'r she united with the church of
Pigeon Creek; then under the pastoral care of Rev. Mr. Gra

a consistent Christian profession.
In her sixteenth' year she was married to Mr. Matthew
Wilson. Six years afterwards she Was left a widow. She
Was one Who had seen affliction. She suffered much both in
body and mind, but bore her trials' with great : fortitude.
Her intellect was remarkably bright and vigerone, and well
cultivated. She was an affectionate wife, a dutiful daughter,
and a devoted friend; while her cheerful and obliging dispo
sition made her a delightful companion. Many friends and
relatives miss her and mourn her loss.
Her hurt illness 'was brief and painful, but she was enabled

The subject of this notice was for some years prior to her

of affliction, and thereby had opportunity given her to expe

ligion in seasons of trial.,. Though her last illness :was com
paratively brief, we fondly hope she - was prepared for her
change when it came, and that it was a happy one to her.
To the writer, some two weeks before she'was called away,
she stated that she believed her end was near, and that she
was not afraid to die, for Jesus was precious to her acrid; and
that her only hope was in him, who was allher salvation and
desire. Her sufferings she bore without murmuring or re
pining to the end, which vas serene and tranqUll. Death to
