the material for it is in the facts Of this en-
sagement. No Christian people could hope
10 sustain that character, while they leave the
Killed and wounded Of their battles to ROT
upon the open fields. But the most damning
fact is in their firing upon Our hospitals, and
in the use Of our flag. 1t is attested by thou
sands, that, in several Of their charges, they
advanced under the Confederacy flag, and as.
sumed the character of friends until within
the distance to exhibit how much they were
enemies. The greatest mortality amonst US
was when in this way, they came near enough
to make their fire effective.
Of individual experience, there were scarce.
ly room to speak. One lad Oakley, from
Alabama. taken prisoner, was tied; but,
when the enemy was fighting, he cut the cords,
found muskct, plunged it in Zona7e, en-
dcavorine 10 detain him, and started TO his
friends on the way. On an officers prospect
ing, he went up towards him, and, when near
enough, he ordered him to surrender; the
officer did so, and young Oakley bore him in
triumph in to headquarters. He proved to
be Col. Corcoran. One Of the most obvious
features of the battlefield is group Of horses,
and the men beside them. The caisson had
exploded. Men and horses were all killed,
apparently near the close of the engagement,
and now lie all together bloatcd in the sun.
The mortality among horses was large; as
many as ono hundred, at least, may be seen
upon the field, and it is Of regret for their loss
that they were particularly fine ones.

A Plea Tor tho Soldier.

RlrMNoyp, VA, July -, 1861.
At tue late annual meeting Of the Baptist
General Association Of Virginia, it was deter
mined at once 10 send "col,ortcurs 10 cccu-
py all the important points Q! rendezvous,
and promptly to reach all the soldiers in SER
vice in this State" In pursuance OF this
plan, vas directed to appeal furaid to "such
persons in tie Confederate States as may feel
interested in the spiritual welfare of the SOL
dicrs who are gathered from various South
crn States to fight their common battles on
The soil of Virginia.
There are now, in all probability, not less
than 900 soldiers Of the Confederate Ar
my within the limits of our State, and the
course of events indicates that, in few ;nonths
we shall have double that aumber. Very
many of these brave men have no; The Word
Of God.
Our colpnrtrura have found many comps
ni+s in which twnilirds are destitute Of .
copy Of tie New Testament, while j" almost
every company considerable proportion
have neglected to bring with ihem this insa!
liable treasure. There is great anxiety on
the part OF our soldiers 10 secure religious
reading. In many instances they have called
npon clergymen in this city and begged for a
supply Of Testaments and tracts. But they
have. to large extent, begged in vain, as
nearly all our religious literature, including
Bibles, Testaments and tracts, has been pnh-
lished at the North, and now We cannot ob-
tain supply from that quarter. Feeling
that The South must build up q christian lit
erature for herself, and that no foreign growth
in this respect can answer her home nccessi
ties, we are publishing large editions of tracts
in this city, especially adapted to soldiers, and
expect soon 10 bring out an edition Of the
New Testament.
We have pious, devoted, and experienced
colporteurs, who are anxious to be sent into
this inviting field, and to gather sheaves unto
eternal life. Already thirty are laboring in
this capacity under our direction, and their
reports are Of the most encouraging character.
Had we the requisite funds, We could in
few weeks send forth not less than hundred
such laborers. Besides, many OF the clap
lains are being supplied by us with tracts for
general distribution. Thus it will be seen
that there IS much need Of funds, if this most
important and interesting work is vigorously
prosecuted, and we are solely dependent or
the free.wll offerings Of those who feel inter
ested in such labors. Our books and tracts
which arc such as are approved by all evan
gelical denominations, are for the most par
given away.
There is scarcely another such school G
vice OH the earth as the encanpmeut, and W
must counteract its brutal teachings by tn
"book Of books, and by volumes and tract
of kindred influence. The leisure of the So
dier, if we can secure it for religious readipl
