MORAL EFFECTS OF BATTLE.-Rev. W
A. Passavant OF The Putsburg Missionary
who has been looking after the hospitals at
and near Fortress Monroe, ut-der the care OF
some of his excelcn: deaconess nurses, has
been writing some deeply interesting accounts
of the moral condition of our soldiers there.
We copy from his report of a conversation
with a member of Duryea's Zouavc regi
ment
The description of the Great Bethel affair,
when they charged on the masked batteries,
falling on their faces to escape the cannor-
balls, and firing between the cannonades, was
terrific. The thoughts and purposes which
passed through the heart during that battle,
cannot be expressed, He remarked that a
new life in the regiment was the instantaneos
result. Profanity well-nigh ceased, and many
resolved never to swear again. The men be-
came thoughtful and earnest, and war Was felt
to be a fearful reality. The young mems
prayer-meeting was never before SO largely
attended, and several cases of awakening oc-
Cured among the soldiers. The strife be-
tween the companies ceased, and the whole
regiment became one. The good effects are
still felt in many ways, and the devotional
meetings are kept up with much interest.

A Rescue and its Results.

A good many years since steamboat was
accustomed to make daily trips between But
falo and Niagara Falls. The nearest point
to which she could approach the mighty cat.
aract was Chippewa Greek, ten miles distant,
on the Canada side One day there was
pleasure excursion, and several hundred men,
women and children went down from Buffalo.
After spending the day in all sorts OF anuse-
ments-in looking upon the Falls-admirlng
the rainbow-passing under Table Rock and
behind the falling water, they gathered them
selves on board OF the boat, towards night, to
return to their homes. By some miscalcula-
ton of the engineer, sufficient steam had not
been generated, and when, after passing out Of
the Creek, the boat met the strong, rapid cur
rent of the river, instead of going forward she
was slowly-slowly borne backward toward
the dreadful cataract. The people on board,
as as may we'll be imagined, became Instantly
alarmed. The color fled from their checks
they stood in specchess horror-the roar OF
the cataract sounded fearfully distinct in
their cars--as slowly, slowly, they were still
borne back toward it. At length the eogi-
neer bethought him of the oil with which he
fabricated his machinery. He threw it into
the furnace the flames blazed up more in
tensely--steam was generated more rapidly,
the wheels moved around with increased ve-
locity-there was pause, as the Titan forces
were contending for the mastery. A moment
more, and there was an upward movement

emotion: "Ihe Lord has delivered us

with all, pass away when the danger was over
as is too often the case. Even there, on the
brink of that awful precipice, many found
their Savior. A revival followed in the
church to which large number of them be-
longed-it was Sabbath school excursion
and many found peace in believing. One,
man of large wealth, dedicated much of it te
God in the building Of a church, as memor
ial of his gratitude for being snatchcd from
destruction, both in this lie and the life t(
come. Thus God got unto himself glory

And yet to plain common sense, guided by

to follow up on the great scale the successes
at Hattcras, is to make Manassas Gap not
worth the watching. We trust that our

speech making and sensation letters and dis
patches, and let us hear their steps reverbe-
rating along the coast, and read of their ad.

THE. END or THE MARYLAND
LEGTSLA TURE

FREDERICK, Md, Sept s-ImmediateIy
after the farce was gone through with yes
terday afternoon of calling roll and read
ing journal, an unusual stir took place in
the community. Companies of Wilson s
regiment were observed passing through
the city in different directions, and soon il
was found the city was walled in. No one
could go out without pass from the Pro-
vost Marshal, whose Office was soon crowd
ed with an excited throng of people, who
had been stopped and turned back.
In the meantime, Lieut.. Carmichael, of
the Baltimore Police, was seem moving
about with his officers, accompanied by a
squad of military, making arrests, comment
cling with the officers of the Legislature and
especially the Clerks, who proclaimed that
they would keep the Legislative machine
going until 81 rue pn hdb house, E TIE The
Clerk of the House, w. z Kidd; his as
sistant, Thomas H. Moore, could not be
found, until late in the evening, but was
finally arrested. The Clerk of the Senate,
Mr.. FILLMORE, and mis- assistant Mr.. Cormick,
were also found with much difficulty and
arrested. Mr.. Goodson and Mr.. Marcarver,
of Allegheny were next taken, and soon
Messrs. Solman and Durant were arrested.
At late hour Mr.. Pipler was arrested, but
Mr. Wiler, at the last accounts, had not been
taken The aim of tie officers was to ar
rest all the members who had voted for
Mr.. Wallace's famous report, about 10000
copies of which were yesterday seized as
reasonable documents. During the evening,
the Union members of the House and SEN
ate met in caucus and resolved that the ac-
ton of the Senators present, in not assemb-
ling, having virtually brought the legisla-
ture to an end they would return to their
homes and not again attempt to re-asseu1-
BILE. Mr.. Long, in the meantime, was dele-
gated to prepare brief statement TO be
signed and published by the numbers pres
ent The arrest of the clerks will prevent
them from calling the roll, and so the leg
isIature is at an end. Several of the most
noisy and active secessionists of the town
have also been arrested. The prisoners will
remain in the guard house all night, and be
removed to Fort McHenry.
