the Central Presbyterian, we find the following IN

his quarters he said, "Let US now pray for bles-

Lacy, Zone of the most precious privileges OF my
life to have been permitted to enjoy the confidence,

upon the suggestion of Gen. jackson.
After returning from our chaplains meetings,
Gen. jackson would send for me, and in his quick
manner would say, "Come in, Nh. Lacy, and make
your report" In response to interesting statements,

a tax in kind, the markets will no doubt be better
supplied in future. But after all, our main reliance
rests upon the armies now confronting the hosts Of
the enemy. If they attain that success which every
one hopes for the reclamation of territory and res
