Rev. DR.. ATKINsoN.-One of the most significant
of the signs of the spirit of Virginia is the organza-
ton of military company at EIampden Sidney COL
lege, with the Rev. President Atkinson at its head
as Captain. Probably there could not be found in
the Union gentleman of greater moderation and
cathocity of character than the eminent divine and
heightened gentleman at the head of Hampden Sid
ney College. To see such man buckling on his
armor and leading forth his young coegians to the
defence Of their country, is a most glorious and
beautiful sight What must be the merits of the
cause which converts into warriors the most unob-
trusive and exemplary of the clergy! How noble
the mother, how precious the privilege of dying
upon her lap, who brings forth such sons Rich.

FoRT SUMTER IN THE CuCRcHEs.-It was to be
expected that such leaders Of the church militant
Henry Ward Beecher, DR.. Bellows, Chaplin, &C.,
would have something to say in their pulpts of
Fort Sumter and the war. Beecher seems to have
humbugged his congregation last night into terri
BILE excitement. After he had finished his sermon
he stepped forward and read a telegraphic dispatch
which had just been received from Charleston by
friend whose source Of information, he said, was
perfectly reliable to the effect that Fort Sumter had
been reinforced aud Fort Noultrie silenced Shouts
of applause followed the announcement and for
few moments the scene was one of the widest ex-
element Men, women ard children cheered and
clapped their hands, and disnterested observer
would have thought the occasion more befitting
the hastings than the house of God.
The Rev. DR.. Bellows Of the Unitarian Church,
corner of Goth street and 4th avenue in addressing
