ed to Bragg. The detached force in McLamore's cove was Thomas's corps. Being immediately opposite Lafayette, at and near which Gen. Bragg had all his forces concentrated, it was completely at the mercy of the latter. It was only necessary that Gen. Bragg should fall upon it with such a mass as would have crushed it; then turned down Chattanooga valley, thrown himself in between the town and Crittenden, and crushed him; then passed back between Lookout mountain and the Tennessee river into Wills's valley, and cut off McCook's retreat to Bridgeport; thence moved along the Cumberland range into the rear of Burnside, and disposed of him. No time was to be lost in taking advantage of a Hunder of the enemy, into which he had fallen in his stupid conceit that the Confederates were retreating. Instant orders were given to Maj.-Gen. Hindman to prepare his division to move against Thomas; and he was informed that another division from Lt.-Gen. D. H. Hill's command, at Lafayette, would mo

and confusion, from his position. But, in a few minutes, he returned to the conflict, under cover of a piece of artillery, which was placed in a position favorable to his contemplated advance. At this point of time, now late in the evening, Colonel Wills's regiment, of Ransom's brigade, moved forward in line of battle, supported on the left by Colonel Doles's regiment of Wright's brigade. The firing now became active and serious in its effects. Colonel Wills's regiment, having moved close uColonel Wills's regiment, having moved close upon the enemy in his concealed position, had suffered severely, and for a moment gave way. Their ground, however, was promptly occupied by the Twelfth and a battalion of the Sixth Virginia regiments, of this brigade. Meantime, Colonel Smith, of the Forty-ninth, whose regiment, with that of the Forty-first and the Second battalion of the Sixth Virginia, had been placed in a skirt of woods leading out on the enemy's left flank, most opportunely moved forward, and attacked him upon his rear and f

these holy wars; Set apart, sealed and anointed Children of a Heavenly Mars! Weakness we need not dissemble- But Jehovah leads us on: Who is he that dares to tremble, Led by God of Gideon? Let them laugh in mad derision At our little feeble band-- God has told me in a vision We shall liberate the land. Rise, then, brothers; do not doubt me; I can feel his presence now, Feel his promises about me, Like a helmet on my brow. We must conquer, we must slaughter; We are God's rod, and his ire Wills their blood shall flow like water: In Jehovah's dread name — Fire! A Kansas postscript. Since the foregoing chapter was stereotyped, an unfriendly Kansas paper has related the following incident of the Battle of Ossawatomie: We have no disposition to extenuate the crimes recently committed by this noted man. But there is no reason why the acts of kindness and charity which he was wont to perform should be forgotten, now that he is about to suffer the doom of a felon. An inst

ff to town to church. I am pleased with our General Hill. Our army is now well supplied with evangelists and missionaries of ability, zeal, and fidelity, who seem ready and willing to aid the chaplains in their work. Among the number are Rev. Mr. Wills, Macon, Georgia, and Rev. Mr. Caldwell of the Presbyterian Church. Evangelists, Rev. Dr. J. B. McFerrin, Rev. R. P. Ransom, and Rev. Wellborn Mooney, of the Tennessee Conference, and Rev. C. W. Miller, of Kentucky Conference—four able missionaries—the latter to the Kentucky Brigade. Sunday, August 2. Chaplain Ellis and I began a brigade meeting. We were assisted during the three weeks it continued by Messrs. Wills, Caldwell, McFerrin, Ransom, Mooney, Miller, Stevenson, and Rev.

s he had divided the soul into two faculties: one called the understanding, by which it discerns, views, and judges things; the other called the heart or will, being nothing else but the inclination of the soul towards or the disinclination from what is discerned and judged by the understanding. In the Freedom of the will he starts with Locke's statement that the Will is perfectly distinguished from Desire, which in the very same action may have a quite contrary tendency from that which our Wills set us upon. This theory Edwards analyses and rejects, and then proceeds to show that a man's desire and will are virtually the same faculty of the soul. It follows from this that the will at any moment is determined by the strongest motive acting upon the soul; we are free in so far as no obstacle is presented to our willing in accordance with our inclination, but our inclination is determined by what at any moment seems to us good. In his attack on the common arguments for the freedom
