First Presbyterian Church, held in the Church
this morng, May 18th, the Committee appoint.
ed at previous meeting to confer with the
Rev. Mr.. WOODS in regard to his resignation of
the Pastoral Charge of said Church, made re.
port concluding with the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted, every men,
Der Of the Congregation present voting:
"Resolutd, That there is nothing in the views
or sentiments of the Rev. EDGAR WooDs, in re.
iation to the unhappy condition of our country,
which should in the least degree disturb the
peace and harmony Of the relation existing be-
tween him and this Congregation.
:. Resolued, That we respectfully ask the Rev.
Mr. WOODS to withdraw his resignation"
This decided action of the Congregation ia
alike credtable to itself and the Rev. Mr..

that no Congregation in the City of Columbus

duoe an enlargement between this good man
and his Congregation, may learn lesson from
the action taken as above stated.

An Affecting incident of the Late Bat-
tIe.-SinguIar Meeting of Brothers
after Seven Years. Absence-.-BOth
wounded.

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch
writing from Camp, near Manassas, July q, -
relates the following affecting incident, of the
meeting, after separation OF seven years, be
tween two brothers, one member of the New
Orleans Washington Artillery, and the other be-
longing to the Minnesota Infantry:
To the Editors Of the Dispatch:
al. together with several other gentlemen from
Montgomery, a day or two ago, witnessed one of
the most singular, at the same time, most affect
ing Incidents which will probably occur during
this most unhoy and unnatural war, if it should
last for twenty years. We were Struggling over
the battle field, examining the ground upon which
we had such bloody conflict. and won such
glorious victory two days before. We came un-
expectedly into the Centrevlle road, and seeing
a house on our left with the usual signs betoken-
ing hospital, one of our party being physician
expressed Il wish to go down and see the wounded.
Upon inquiry we learned that the stable below
contained thirteen wounded Yankees; forth
with proceeded to the stable, and upon entering
we found Washington Artillery man seated by
the side of a wounded soldier, evidently minister
ing TO him with great care and attention. L IN
troduced myself to him, and asked if he aided in
working the battery which fought with First Viz
gina brigade. He told me he did not-he had
fought in a battery lower down, and then remark
ed .'that it WAS very hard to fight he had
fought, and turn and find his own brother fight
ing against him" at the same time pointing to
the wounded soldier from whose side he had just
risen.
/ asked ifit was possible that was his brother?
Eyes, sir, he is my brother Henry. The same
mother bore US, the same mother nursed us. We
meet the first time for seven years. belong TO
the Washington artillery, from New Orleans-he
to the First Minnesota infantry. BY the merest
chance L learned lie was here wounded, and
sought him out to nurse and attend him." Thus
they met-one from the far North, the other
from the extreme South-on bloody field in
Virginia, in a miserable stable, far away from
their mother, home and friends; both wounded
the infantry man by musket ball in the right
shoulder, the artillery man by the wheel OF
caisson over his left hand. Thus they met after
an absence of seven years. Their names are
Frederick Hubbard, Washington artillery, and
Henry Hubbard. First Minnesota infantry. We
met surgeon of one of the Alabama regiments
and related the case to him, and requested for
the sake of the artieryman, that his brother
might be cared for He Immediately examined
and dressed his wounds and sent OIL in haste for
an ambulance to take the wounded Yankee to
his own regimental hospital.

ored ancestry. Some of these are very old, dat
ing in several instances, back to the seventeenth
century. Here repose the earthly remains of
many cavalier and gentlemen, whose names are
borne by the numerous families all over the South
ern States
One of the traditions connected with this edfce
is that the venerable steeple was, prior to the
revolution, surmounted with the royal coat-of-
arms Of George Ill, but that on the 4th of July,
1776, thunder cloud blew up. and lightning rent
the steeple and dashed the insignia of royalty to
the earth.
The village of Hampton is beautifully situated
on of the setting in from the adj
jacent roadstead which bears its name, and is
celebrated for its health and facilities for fine
living.
The late census showed that the aggregate
white and black population was nearly two thou
sand, who pursued nearly all the common or gen.
eral pursuits of town of that size. Some of the
residences we're of brick, and erected at a heavy
cost, belonging to opulent farmers and tradesmen;
besides, they have large gardens, outhouses. and
other valuable Improvements, all of which are
destroyed.
