A CHArLAlN IN TIE FIELD.-A corrcspon.
dent of the Cincinnati Commercia1 gives the
following description of the work Of Meth
odis, minister, a member Of the Indiana Con-
ference, and chaplain OF one Of the regi'
ments of that State
The Rev. T. G. Workman distinguished
himself at Rich Mountain. The chaplain was
one of Pcrsifer Smiths mounted men in
Mexico, and had smelled powder before.
Col. Monson desired somebody to reconnoitre
in advance of his regiment. The chaplain
stepped out forty yards in advance towards
the enemy's lines under sharp fire from the
rebel batteries. After he got within three
hundred end fifty yards Of their breastworks
both sides opened in full career, his own friends

sired information, and was seeking for more.
AS Monson's column advanced, he thought 1T
necessary to get out of the way and he treed.'
The tree proved good cover, since it was
snrinkled with balls. AS soon, however, as
the wounded began to fall in the Tenth the

Victory in Defeat.

Rev. G. Haven writing to Zion's Herald
from baltimore after the disaster to our army
at Bull Run thus refers to the favorable
results Of the defeat thus showing that there
is no great loss without some small gain:
But the morning cometh, if also the night
and the grey light o! new dawn began to
glmmer around the great disaster. we be,
gan to hear courageous words from soldiers
and civilians. One Baltimore brother SAID
he could march up to masked battery !;
another, that he must certainly shoulder his
musket; another was entrcating Gen. Banks
to supply the Union men with arms. They
boldly withstood the seccssionists around
their own newspaper batteries-no longer
masked and defended the cause Of the nation
in her hour of peril. The soldiers were
equally cheerful. Their homesickness disap-
pearcd in a moment. They we're ready to
march to Virginia. saw some of the Wis
consin troops on Tuesday morning. Where
are YOU going p asked. TO Richmond or
to death, was the reply. This rallying and
strengthening Of spirits was one OF the CLEANS
of light .,
Another was that the New York journals
and New York merchants had ceased to be
the conductors of this war. The great guns
kicked with tremendous recoil and killed OFT
all tho enemies of Gen. Scott. But the day
before the Tribune was bostcrous against him
-now lies it there, and none so poor to 90 1T
reverence 1t will live; for such Journal
cannot be destroyed by one bIunder. but 1t IT
will cease to control the war. The New York
merchants must make up their minds to bank
ruptcy. Sorrowfu as is the foreboding, it is
true, and certain to be accomplished. They
will have to leave this matter In other hands,
hands which mean to complete the work, but
mean to take their own time to DO 1t. Pa
pcrs and politicians will rally undoubtedly
and open their fires again upon the Admins
tration, the generals-everybody but them
selves But it will be long time before
they again destroy the confidence Of the pub
Iic mind 10 the great commander.

The Christian Soldier,

Soldier, 90, but not to claim
Mouldering spols of earth born treasure,
Not to build vaunting name.
Not to dwell in tents Of pleasure.
Dream not that the way is smooth,
Hope not that the thorns are roses
Turn no wishful eye of youth
Where the sunny beam reposes;
Thou hast sterner;work to do,
Hosts to cut thy passage through
Close behind thee CULTS are burning:
Forward there Is no returning
Soldier, rest but not for thee
Spreads the world her downy pillow
On the rock thy couch must be,
While around thee chafes the billow
Thine must be a watchful sleep,
Wearier than anoher's waking
Such a charge as thou dost keep
Brooks no moment of forsaking.
Sleep as on the battle field,
Girded, grasping sword and shield
Those thou can st not name nor number
Steal upon thy broken slumber.
Soldier, shout, the war is donc
Lo, the hosts of hell are flying
Twas thy Lord the battle won
Jesus vanquishei them by dying,
Pass the stream before thee lies
All the conquered land of glory.
Hark, what songs of rapture rise
These proclaim the yictor's story.
Soldier, lay thy weapons down,
Quit the sword and take the crown
Triumph all thy foes are banished,
Death is slain and earth has vanished

Tbe sensible inhabitants Of Easterh Viz
riniA. Il there be any Of that description len
must view the work which has been and Is
being accomplished by the rulers over them,
With dlsmay and fearful ~OrebOding. We
made note, some time sgO, Of an attempt
which vas being made BY the rebel State
Convention In session at Richmond, to carry
the State over to dezpotism by the abolition
Of schools and the right of universal sui
EraQs, and the p~erpetuAtiOn of the abOmina-
bic doctrine that capital should " labor.
From The Richmond Wing we learn that
thsss changes have actually been made in
this State Constitution BY the Convention.
Among other changes which have been effect
ed, We End the following;
4 The person having the highest number
Of votes for Governor is not to be declared
elected unless he has received 8 majority O
the whole number Of votes cast. II no per.
sou receive such majority, the General As
ssmbly to select the Governor from the per
sOna not exceeding three, having the highes'
number Of votes.
This il done for the express Of throWinl
the election into the hands Of the Genera
Assembly, for which purpose the wire work
sa will always, as long as this enactment
allowed to be in force, 90 manage as to hav
enough candidates to prevent any one re
csiving a majority Of all the votes cast
Other changes provide that the peOPl
shall no longer be allowed to elect a Boar
Of Public Works, or Judges of the Court
the appointing power for these offices bein
vested in the General Assembly, as is ais
hat Of the Attorney General, who shall
appointed for an indefinite tenure Of Ohc
instead Of elected for a term Of years Is
present. Sheriff. are to be nominated /
county courts and appointed by the GOverno
instead Of elected. Neither shall conEtabl
be elected by the people, but appointed
the courts, while Of city officers, only t
Mayor, Aldermen, and members OF d
Oonneils are to be elected, the rest to be q
pointed.
Among the "minOr amendments" is
the effect that commissioned officers a
privates Of the regular army shall not
slloEed to vote. Another empowers I
General Assembly TO prohibit the futu
emancipation Of slaves.
Another excludes the clause requiring
portion Of the tax laid upon white PerSo

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
QUINCY, Dec. l6.
The train which left st. Joseph, this NOR
ming, for this city, wa fred into when soout
tour and a half miles from west of Osborne,
and shout thirty miles from st. 10. The
outrage occurred before daylight, while the
train was passing through a piece of timber
and moving at the rate Of thirty-hve and for
~ miles an hour. Three separate volleys
were fred. At the first discharge sixteen
balls struck the engine and tender. At the
second fifteen struck the passenger coach
es-of which there were two-and wounded
q brakeman in the thigh, but not dangerous
ly. At the third Eolley some balls ratified
on the tops Of the passenger coaches but did
no damage, and made but few marks. The
rapid movement of the train is supposed to
have saved the lives of such passengers as
we're seated at the windows; the dim light
and the speed spelling any accurate aim of
the traitors. No windows were broken, and
no enemy was seen to 3 certainty. Stewart
vile is rather noted for rebellious proclivi-
ties,
