THE CHAPEL.

Like one who leaves the trampled street
For some cathedral, cool and DIM,
Where he can hear In nsaaslc beat
The heart Of prayer that beats for him;
And sees the common light Of day
Through painted panes transfigured shine.
And casts his human woes away
In presence Of the Wne Divine
So I, from life's tormenting themes
Turn where the silent chapel lies,
Whose windows burn with vanished dreams.
Whose alta--lights are memories.
There watched by plying cherub.m,
In sacred hush rest awhile ..
Till solemn sounds Of harp and hymn
Begin to sweep the haunted aisle:
A hymn that once but breathed complaint,
And breaths but resignation now,
since God has heard the pleading saint,
And laid Ills hand upon my brow.
Restored and comforted, go
To grapple with my tasks again; t-
Through silent worship taught to know ...
The blessed peace that follows pain.

WaAr HAS BEconE OF THE EXIT is clear that
the present condition of Johnston's and Braggs
army, is dae to the want of men to meet the over
whelmins force Of the enemy. The question natur.
ally arises what has become of the men? We do
mot know what has become of those who havegon
forth from this community; but wherever we 60,
We see mere able bodied men doing nothing, and
seemiag to do, than We ever saw before. Every
railresd here is crowded. every little station is
crowded, every steamboat is crowded with men,
aaaae, hearty, healthy unwounded men. And yet
the array is falling back for want Of men. We do
met understand it. We venture to say that there
are mere men, able to bear arms travelling to-day,
ON the railroad from Montgomery to Augusta, than
on any corresponding day of the year 1860.
And 80 Il is for every day Of the year. Where
are the nn going What are they doing, Why
are they not in the armyi Why does the con-
scriprnffner let them pass These questions force
themselves upon every. one who travels along the
great thuoughfares Of the country. Il the ten
thousands who are in the pursuit Of money, could
be pst in the army, we would be able to sweep the
enemy frsn the face Of the earth in few weeks
But sntf this is done we shall "fall back until

Mr. EDIroR Il beg leave to notice mistake

of the casualties in 90 O., Slst N. G. regiment in
the engagements upon James and Morris Islands,
S. g., on the 10th and 18th July though the Cap.
tain is excusable from this error from the fact that
he was not present in either of the engagements,
nor has not been with the company since the 18th
July, and we have no knowledge as to his where
abouts at present.
In the first I notice, no reports James Cover
wounded in the face; he was slightly wounded in
the neck. Secondly, Alsey Sutton was reported
wounded in hip; he was slightly wounded in left

that Yankees should be false to their country, to
5themselves and to their God
Falsehood and deception have always character.

Meeting them with society, they have always been
false-the practitioners Of falsehood and deception
upon each other and the world at large.
We clip the above from an exchange. Such
sweeping and unqualified denunciation, however
Justly it may be applied to those who are making
war upon us, is inappropriate and unjust as bearing
upon that large number of citizens Of US and with
us, of Northern birth. Before war was thought OF
between the two sections the citizens of State
mingled freely, held familiar intercourse traded,
married and settled one with the other, without re
gard to geographical lines, As general rule, odr
citizens of Northern birth have acted their part
well since the war commenced 1t IS ungenerous
and unjust to denounce sotole nation or race OF
people because we are at with them, or because
some of those of Northern birth in our midst are
not what they should be. There are some Of these
whose extreme earnestess for the South would lead
one to believe that they are more than devoted to
her welfare Our faith in such liberal witnesses in
our behalf has never been of the strongest charac-
ter: but for such persons Of Northern birth as act
consistently in upholding the honor OF the homes
of their adoption, and who do all that belongs to
good citizenship We entertain sentiments OF respect
and esteem. Let US be magnanimous, and judge
men not BY birth of pare 1trge or place. but accord

The news from the seat of war in Virginia seems
to be that General Meade hes falen>sack.Hith his.
forces, with what view no one appears to know
Gen. Lee is most probably in his former position
The weather for several weeks past has been too
hot for the manoeuvering of armies much less for
regular pitched battles. This temporary lull in
the storm will enable both sides to recruit their
strength and to prepare for the next shock of bat
tie The Southern people need not hope that the
federal army will be diminished in that interval, or
that, when the conflict is again Joined, our enemies
will contend with less ardor than heretofore. The
next great battle in Virginia, which may be expec-
ted in the course of three or four weeks, will be
the most important of the war. 1t will be bloody,
lohg contirued, and to great extent decisive as to
the possession of Virginia 1t is of the first impor-
tance, therefore that Gen. Lee should be strength
ened at all points to Withstand the immense forces
which the enemy will pour upon him. E0sry man
4oAo belongs to the army Of Virginia shou1d'be at
his post Indifference to the result, desertion, ab-
sence without leave, will never bring peace to the
