BIBLES FOR THE Troops. Rev
Mr.. Sheldon, the State Bible Agent,
communicates the following to the
officers and members of the several
County Bible Societies in New Jersey;
1t is deemed very important that
the soldiers leaving our State at the
call of the General Government should
be furnished with the Scriptures
The time not allowing action on the
part of all. the local associations, and
the case being unjust, it has been de-
cided to have the tender of neat
copy CT the New Testament made te
each soldier at Trenton where the regi
ments are expected to rendezvous
before leaving the State 1t is moi
doubted the friends of the cause in the
several counties will appro We of this
and cheerfully bear part of the ex.
pense of this interesting work. The
troops number nearly four thousand.
REPORTED RESIGNATION OF GEN.
ERAL SooTT. General Scott has beer
Thoroughly aroused at the reports
spread at the South concerning hi'
resignation, and took occasion to say
day or two since, to a group o
gentlemen, several of whom were Of

flag, and though | have the frmesI

would trample that flag in the dust
than that | should ever be suspected
Of resignation at this hour of trial
No, sirs please God, | will fight fol
many years yet for the Union, and
that, too, under the protecting folds o.
the star spangled banner"
As there is considerable anxiety fell
for the welfare and comfort of the
soldiers composing the four regiments
called into the service of the United
States, we have made inquiry Of the
authorities to learn the articles furnish
