The_Ckristian at the Crone.
For the Christian the Cross has its at
tractions. No place -is like it. None can
be compared•with it. At it he 'sits.
He looks upon wondrous scenes. A
Saviour who had never wronged Godr nor
'I, man, hangs before- him ' suffering, -nailed,
l=
bleeding, agonizing. He is numbered
mong transgressors. Two thieves are cru
ified with him, the one on his right hand,
.and the other on his left. A crown of
; thorns is upon his brow. Many pass by
and mock him. The load of his people's
.sins pressed hard upon him, yet he meekly
and nobly bears it. No complaint escapes
his lips. A Father's will, and a perishing
'humanity require the act, and he repines
tot, nor hesitates. Notwithstanding his,
qmparalleled sufferings, and in the midst
of them, he has regard to the good of
others. He protides for the temporal sup
port of his mother according to the flesh.
He hears the cry of a penitent by his side,
pardoning him, and admitting him into
Paradise. Neither does he bear ill-will
nor revenge to his 'murderers, but prays,
." Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do." The greatest 'death ever
known now occurs. The Son of God, his
only and well-beloved 'son, 'dies 1 Imme
diately, darkness covers the earth. .'The
vail of the temple is rent 'in twain. The'
earth quakes. Graves open. Many dead
arise. Observers acknowledge his divinity.
Blood streams from his pierced. aide. His.'
body is lifeless, and kind friends lay, it in
the tomb.
Such a look at' the Cross evokes from the
Christian devout and precious meditations.
He considers all that Ohrist there endured
as done in his behalf. He ponders on the
mercy and love there displayed. 'He son=
templates the salvation there revealed for
him and all who will accept it—a salve

is penitent. His sins nailed Jesus
to accursed tree. They appear before
in their real light. Hence he becomes

REV. Dn. MaINNEY• :—Dear Sir—l
know of~ but' one letter from regiment
that has been `published in your paper.
Another may be interesting to the many
readers of •the Banner who have relatives
in the regiment.
We landed at 'Fortreas ''Menroe `the
first of April, and marched thenceto Capp
Scottrnear `Thlitrwe'Veried
as pickets and road builders, through rain
and mud' until the beentiTur Sabbath morn
ing of the 4th of May, -when ' just as we
havewere thinking-that we would a quiet
day of rest in the service of God, the order
came for us, to march immediately. We
were soon in sight of the rebel fortifica
tions, but found no enemy there. We pur
sued the fast-retreating foe in quick time,
and overtook, him on Monday, near 'Wil
liamsburg. There was our first battle.
Night closed the dieedful scene, and the
enemy retreated. We thence followed
closely till ;within,-hearing. distance of:the
bells at R.chinond. Qn the Plst of May,
at one o'clock,, the dreadfril battle of Fair
oaks commenced. Many of our brave 40M
rades fell. We were outnumbered arid out
flanked. So,- leaving we fell' back un
der a heavy fire. Ott the 4th - of June we
returned to White ()air swamps, through
heavy rain and deepinud. Having now no
t4helter nor blankets to 'keep'us' dry and
comfortable, our ranks were again thinned
by sickness anddeath. 'But ere we thought
of, not seeing= Richmond soon, we were on
our backward march to Harrison's Land
ing, leaving some of our sick to the'merey
of the enemy. 'Thence we had heavy
marches to Fortress Monroe, and the. two
hardest of all were , on the holy Sabbath.
During Mir 'staY of near six months on
the Peninsula, We were engaged in all the
duties of : a soldier, viz.: guarding and pick
eting, chopping and digging, fortifyingatal
fighting. Finally,- we gladly left the almost
deserted and swampy Peninsula, for. Suf
folk. We arrived here on the night of the
16th of September, and soon 'coltnienced
the usual duties of the soldier. Our regi
ment has built three-fourths of a mile of
breastworks around the ',town; and also
nice and comfortable Winter quarters, .and
are now assisting to'finish the forts, whioh
will soon be"ccanifleted.
I must noW''Say something of our 'spir
itual interests. We had, when we left
home, nine hundred and thirty nien:
About two , hundred of that number were
professors of religion of the different
branches of 'the Chureh of .Christ. But as
is common, too many left their religion at
home, and are living without it in the
army. Nevertheless 'a 'good nUmberinited
together and resolved, by•the help of jGod,
to stand up' for Christ in the faCe of his
avowed enemies, and keep up a prayer
meeting under all diseotiragements. And
almost every evening that circumstances
would perniit, the'praying band has inet to
praise God for his mercy, and ask his pro
tection in the future.
Our chaplain.was often absent...with -the
sick and wounded; and he left us after the
battle of Fair Oaks, on a glair furlough home,
at the very time be }war most needed, our
regiment being in a more deplorable condi
tion than at any time since we had entered
the service. He returned in about two
months, remained with us one month, 'and
then resigned. We 'have not had one
since, though occasionally we have the ser
vice of other chaplains. ,
Since the battle of 'Fair Oakri;the interest
in our meeting has been, good, and some
times very good. I believe there has been
several conversions. Some are returning
from their wanderings; others are under
conviction. I have Fwitnessed 'some of
the most precious meetings"that I ever
attended. And since we have been' here,
we have had the privilege of going to
• chureh in town; and hive 'heard eateral
aellent discourdes, by the pesters, and' by
chaplains who were invited to preach. The
assetablies are most solemn. Good atten
tion is given. by the soldiers.
When the , weather became. too cold. to
meet out doors," we were, for a time, at a
lose for COMfOrtable place of meeting.
But 'God always‘provideS I,'W4, when Vi3o
- have a , There Weietwo large ins
Ipital tents in the handi of ontsurgeene,
which we succeeded in getting. These we
!joined in one, and seated it off for =a - place''
`to hold worship. It furnished room for
'one hundred' and tact:ay:five persons. We'
!had it- dedicated' on Sabbath,' the 16th
to the service of God. Rev. Mr: Bird,

If is worthy of repetition oh my part—
for I have made the statement 'before for
the inforniatioVilf ydur feeders—that in

with • Tery

the'Northein cause, *lui deprecate 'all idea
of a :quarrel' with America,' an& refuse to
be tempted, with the, cry for "recognition"
But I am bound with equal, truth to say,
that the reconstruction of .the Union ,

most - grievous to' multitudes of the best and

a strUggle which they , have hoped and

Pa. .Qcor..Ery4o, has pow ,published

THkiDdily Tel which, from the
first; (bat published editorials denotmeing
the " perseentibn of the authors of Essays
andßeviews; ebine .out in favor 'of the
Bishop of Natal. , it'rehearses the "story of
the Bishop of Salisbury's pers'eentiorl of
Dr. Rowland Williams, and its " breaking
down piteously before the inexorable logic
of a British , tribunal. faithful to, mere tech-
nicalities, and thieugh them to freedom of
eonicienie." But What has '‘ freedoin of
conscience" to do with men- who have re
ceived. livings in the Established Church,
on the condition of ,signing end .adhereing
to the 39 Articles ?, The dishonesty of
these 'men is arthillY"eenceiled under a
cloud of rhetoric raised by - their advocates.

r' who have defended the Bible against
Bibliolaters, ChristianitY against so-e.alled
Christians, and the ' liberty of him whose
yoke is light,' against the dull and , heavy
servitude of mediaeval tests, the new-comer
has, made his 'appearance. He lifts the
lidinet bars of the anonymous with the hon
est hand of a man who is neither ashanied of
his quarrel nor 'shuns its issue, and reveals
to us all the features of the good and eru
dite missionary Bishop of Natal, in Af
rica."
Then comes a sneer at the ordinary
Bishop in contrast' ivithione whose' " lacon
is not a spell affainst candbr, simpliCity and
henesty! And the article winds up with
a, fresh flourish of, trumpets : " No icono
cliet;but a Reformer—no unbeliever, but
a eh:UM/Ann of the Truththat Cannot fear,
because she cannot -fail—the Bishop of
Natal takes his stand on the side of unfet
tered conscience. He is probablymot,wrong
in
. expeeting wholesale calumny, with des
perate ,and inveterate. enmity, but the
age will thank him, to whose rising, mind,
he says with the piety . and the pain of ano
ther St. Paul, I would that that hear
me were such as I am, except these
bonds." •
The ridiculous failure of the parallel h,era
attempted to be drawn is,that Paul Wore
bonds because he, could not help it : the
Bishep, though be eays it is a heavy, trial,
thought it better to remain in the Church
and thus his bonds are seV-imposed, coupled
with the glaring fact that Jae totally dis
sents from the ex cfnimo subscription- to
the Canonical Scriptures, which every cler

young men to be very cautious before, they
