A cotportew's Report.-Mr. Henry Msdi-
son, VINO is laboring as Colporteur in the en-
campments around the city, in the employ Of
the BaFtists, furnishes us with the following
interesting report of his labors
During the past month have sold f22.10
worth of books, and have given away, includ
ing Testaments and Tracts, about an equal
amount. | hold religious conversation with
hundreds every day, and am often greatly de
lighted with what the soldiers tell me in regard
to their religious experience. One said to me,
the other day, / have pious wife at home
she prays for me, and l would not take any
thing in the world for those prayers lie re-
quested me to bring him certain good books
which he wished to send to his wife. Many
seem very anxious to get Testaments and
small Bibles and Tracts. Officers, as well as
priyates, are very kind, and ain permitted to
go freely among the soldiers, from camp to
camp, trying to urge upon them the claims OF
the Gospel

A food Effect # the Btoekode.-Rov. A.
L. Dickinson, Superintendent of Colportage,
has placed upon our desk dozen excel
lent tracts which have been published at the
South, and are now being scattered by thou
sands among the soldiers. Lincoln refuses to
let religious books and tracts come South, for
fear that they may give aid and comfort to
the enemy" Southern Christians are very
thankful to the old sinner, for this enables
them to do the very thing that they have been
striving to do for thirty years. They
now have an opportunity Of establishing d
Southern religious literature, as they have no
Yankee publishers to compete with. One Of
the tracts before us-"Come to Jesus"-has al
ways been sold by the American Tract Society
at three cents, though that society has capt.
tai of hundreds of thousands. 1t is nov pub
lshed at the South and sold for three cents
la this city tracts are being published at 10
pages for one cent. But for the blockade, our
Christian friends would, in all probability, now

with so much assiduity that they have nearly
worn themselves down. Some, from the ne
cessity of their position, walk many miles
day, besides performing other duty incumbent
on them. In helping them to perform their
duty, benefit is conferred on the sick, and

MAJOR THoMPsoE's SwoRD.-The Cincin.
natl papers boast largely of the capture of a
sword from Major Thompson, of the First
Georgia Regiment, in the Cheat River en-
gagement. The truth of the matter is,
that the cap ursd sword was one VIII ich had
been presen ted to Major T. some years pre-
viously, and was with the baggage which
they stole. The sword that he used in tn
engagement is still in his possession. The ex
plot was, therefore, nothing for the Hessian'
to boast Of. Stealing is one OF their avoca-
tons, and this act adds another item to their
disgraceful catalogue. They also stole Ma jor
Thompson's watch, and a sum of money.

THE LATE 9Es. BARTow-The obsequies of
Gen. Francis 5. Barlow were celebra ted in
Savannah, on the 2S'h ult.. in most imposing
style. There was an immense military and
civic procession, comprising all the companies
in the city, with detachments from the savc-
raj garrisons of the neghboring forts and bat
teries. The cortege started from Christ
Church, where an eloquent funeral sermon
WAS preached by Bishop Elliott. The entire
population OF the city was present, and man.
itested the deepest sorrow. The bells were
toIled and minute guns fired during the march
OF the column. A salute of three rounds
was fired by the infantry and artillery over
the grave.
