From Charlottesville, Va.

The following letter, (says the Southern
Guardian giving an interesting account
of the late and present condition Of the S,
Carolina hospitals at Charlottesville, Va,
has been kindly handed to US by a friend.
The noble exertions of the Rev. Mr. Barn.
we'll and assistants will hereafter be re.
membered with the warmest gratitude Of
our people:
awe have been so Immersed in work
and rubbish for few days that could
find no time to write you. 1t was a most
narrowing scene to witness the destruction
of our toll of weeks, to hear the cries of
"save the sick p and to see them borne in
the arms of our feeble band to the nearest
houses God be praised that no injury was
sustained by any one, and strange to say,
that although several were lying at deaths
door expecting their last summons that
very night, only one of the hundred pa
tents has since died, and all are doing we'll.
Our loss was not heavy. Half the build
ing is still safe; we have it ready now for
eighty FIVE patients. We increased our
Accommodations elsewhere, and in FIVE days
will be completely on our feet again. Our
commissary stores for the post were in the
building, and also our packed bureau boxes
By energetic and night.loug exertions we
saved all of these. Our loss was confined
to beds, crockery, chairs and buckets, with
some injury to our stoves, in all about $3.50.
We can now accommodate $50 or 500 here.
All continue we'll, and we are getting on
cheerfully. -
Oh, me, the work, the work morning,
noon and night; but God strengthens US,
and suffering patients demand the sacrifice.

AFFAIRS IN MARYLAND.-Our "local'
friend, of the Richmond Enquirer, who
left this city several weeks ago on bust.
ness visit to Baltimore, returned home last
Saturday, after an adventurous, but en-
tirely successful trip. His report Of the
prevailing sentiment of the people Of Ma
ryland, gathered from reliable sources, is
most encouraging. He represents that
fully nine tenths of the people of the State,
and of the city Of Baltimore, are earnest
sympathizers with the cause of the South,
and that their sympathy finds frequent and
enthusiastic expression. 1t is strikingly
manifested even to the most careless obser.
yer, in the esgerness with which every sue.
cess of the Southern arms, or every 1isas.
ter to those of the Lincolnites, are hailed,
and in the undisguised scorn with which
the Unionists are treated. They are relent-
lessly scut" 10 all their social relations by
the Southern men, and openly Stunned in
all business transactions.
The Southern sympathizers are recov.
ering from the apathy into which they fell
after the subjugation of Baltimore, and
now openly resent the atrocious outrages
daily perpetratcd by the Federal police and
their leaders upon the women and children.
The fact is not attempted to be conceal
ed, even by the Yankees themselves, that
the sentiment of Maryland is overwhel-
mingly against the Lincoln Government,
and that the danger is imminent that upon
the first reverse to the Yankee army, the
people of the State may rise and wreak
summary vengeance upon theinsoleut horde
who have so long oppressed and humiliated
them. The city is strongly fortified on its
four suburban limits. The Federal Hill
fortiGcation is especially strong, and is ca:
pable of resisting the assault of a powerful
army. From this entrenchment the city
could be shelled and entirely destroyed in
a few hours There are about 10, 900 men
encamped iu various quarters Of the city.

MR. BiNGHAM-Dear .Sir.-At the re-
cent meeting of the Synod of Indiana.
two resolutions-one to approve the ac-
tion of the General Assembly in adopt
ing DIR. Breckenridge's paper on the state
OF the country' the other, To adopt a pa
per on the subject of slavery-were dis
cussed. During the discussion of these reso-
lutions, strong hints were expressed re-
specting disloyalty. and the Provost Mar
shall. In justice to the Brethren who ex-
pressed these hints. cannot think they
really believed what their words implied.
Reference would not thus be made To this
subject. were it not that since said meet
ing OF Synod, attempts have been made
to faisify my statements. One gentle
man, whose ideas of loyalty are very
crude. has told me 1 should have been
arrested for making such traitorous
speech; and an editor of religious pa
per who was not present ut any time dur
ing the discussion. in a letter from Wash
ington city To his paper. makes the follow
ing comment on my remarks: His logic
eliminates in compromising the principal
dogmas OF one of the great political par
ties and of the church. and i'm anathcma-
tising the other party" So far from hav-
ing desire to compound the principal
dogmas of one of the great political par
ties and OF the church" NV desire is that
the church shall not soil its blood-washed
garments by contact with any political
party. Happy the day for our country
and thrice happy the day for our beloved
church. when church courts devote their
energies exclusively to their appropriate
work
Will YOU, MIR. Editor. be 80 Kind as TO

MED the Tennessee expedition, tells this
anecdote:

town about twenty miles below here, ma

strolled through the streets, rs is usual in
such cases. Among these was Lieut.. II
drick, of Co. &, Third Iowa, who is some

During his walk he saw the door of a
house standing open and beautiful young
lady, the daughter of a man who owns
seventy negroes, in the doorway. The
Lieut.. became suddenly weary, and invit-
ed himself in to rest awhile, to which the
young lady made no objection, but APP
peared to be highly pleased with the at
tention shown her by the Lincolnite.-
Their conversation embraced a variety of
topics, the tctG-a-tctc was delightful to both
parties, and no one knows what would
have been the result of it had not the Ia

for they had already become such, and

time at any rate. As the Lieutenant was

A Story of Gen. sigeI.

On the return of Gen. Fremont's army
from the South West, Sigel commanded
the division that came by Lebanon to
Rolla. A few miles this side of Lebanon
the army encamped over night on the
farm of man who was in sympathy with
the rebellion, and his fence rails were all
burned for fireYood, and his farm stripped
of whatever was useful and necessary to
subsist the troops and horses of the train
In the morning the farmer came with a
large bill of damages, and asked for pay
ment. The Quartermaster came to Gen.
Sigel to know what should be done about
it. Col. Warmoth was present, and the
General asked him whether the man was
loyal citizen. The Colonel replied that
he was q conditional Union man at first,
but that he had afterward sympathized
with the rebellion. Turning to the Quar-
ermaster-General, Sigel then replied
Mr.. Quartermaster, then you sy1spathizt
with the Government" 1t is hardly nee
essary to add that the gecesh farmer did
not obtain what he came for.

THETHREE PREACHERS.

There are three preachers. ever preaching,
Each with eloqnenee and power
One is old, with locks Of white.
Skinny as an anehoritI;
And he breaches every hour
With a shrill fanatic voice,
And BigOt's fiery seorn;
backwards, We preSumptuOuS nations,
Man TO misery is born
Born TO drudge, and sweat and suffer
Born to labor and to pray;
Priests and Kings are Gods NieegerentS,
Man must worship and obey.
Backwards, ye pTeSumptuOns nations
Back, be humble and obeyr'
The second is a milder preacher,
Soft he talks as if he sung:
Sleek and slothfnl in his look.
And his words. as from book.
Issue glibly from his tongue.
With an air Of self-cOntent,
High he lifts his fair white hands
Stand ye still, ye restless nations,
And be happy all We lands!
Earth was made by One Almighty,
And to meddle Is to mar,
Change is rash, and ever was So
We are happy as we arc;
stand ye still. ye restless nations,
And be happy as ye are
Mightier is the younger preacher
Genius flashes from his eyes,
And the crowds who hear his voice,
Give him whilst their souls rejoice,
ThrObbing bosoms for replies;
Awed they listen, yet elated.
While his stirring accents fall,
Forward. ye deluded nations,
Progress is the rule of all;
Man was made for healthful effort;
Tyranny has crushed him long
He shall march from good to better,
Nor be patient under wrong;
Forward We awakened nations,
And do battle with the wrong.
Standing still is childish folly.
Going backward is crime;
None should patiently endure
Any Ill that he can cure
0nwardi keep the march Of time,
Onward, while a wrong remains
To be conquered by the right
While Oppression lifts finger
To affrOnt us by his might;
While an error clouds the reason.
While sorrow gnaws the heart,
While slave awaits his free ION,
Action is the wise man part
Forward! We awakened nations!
Action is the peoples part
Onward there are ills to conquer,
Ills that on yourselves you've brought,
There Is wisdom to discern,
There is temperance to learn.
And enfranchisementf for thought.
Hopeless Poverty and Toll.
May be conquered If you Try;
Vice and WretchedneSs and Famine,
Give Benefeence the lie.
Onward onward and subdue them!
Root them out, their day has passed;
Goodness is alone immortal
Evil was not made to last.
Forward. ye awakened people,
And your sorrow shall not last"
And the preaching of this preacher
Stirs the pulses of the world,
Tyranny has curbed its pride;
Errors that were deihed.
Into darkness have been hurl'd;
Slavery and Liberty,
And the r light and Wrong have met,
Te decide their ancient quarrel.
Onward, preaeher-onward yeti
There are pens to tell your progress,
There are eyes that pine to read:
There are hearts that burn to aid you,
There are arms in hour of need.
Onward, preacher, onward, nations!
WILL must ripen into DEED. C. NJ

THE MARCH TO YORKTOWN.

The army, under the immediate COM
mand of Gen. Mcclellan, left camp at
daylight, the advance being as far as Cock
evsville. Soon after starting, the heavens
became black with large heavy clouds,
giving evidence that we were to march
through a heavy shower of rain. Very
soon it began to rain, flooding the roads
especially those through the woods-so as
to be almost impossible. The infantry
pushed on, overcoming all obstacles. The
cavalry and artillery dashed on pell nell,
all anxious to get ahead, Gen. Mcclellan
and staff were but aShort distance behind
the advance.
About 10 o'clock, on the morning OF
the 5th, the booming of the first gun was
heard 1t electrified the whole line. Ov-
ercoats, blankets, haversacks, &C., were
thrown away by the anxious soldiers. each
regiment vieing with the other to be the
first in. The roads became terrible Tor
locomotion the further we advanced; mud
holes, ruts, sloughs, &C., seemed to go TAR
towards making up the road.
THE LINE OF BATTLE FORMED.
The line of battle was formed about 10
o'clock. Berdan's Sharp-shooters in the
advance. As the various columns arrived
on the ground, they at once began to take
their respective positions. Gen. Porter's
Division has the centre, Gen. Sedgwiek
