HE ARMY PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH
Es.-A writer from the army says II
wish all b members of our Churches
could De here and hca how fervently the
soldiers pray that the revival of religion
the army may reach the churches at
home ; that their brethren at home NAV
De turned from the sins of extortion and
speculation ; and that all may be brought
to humble themselves before God"
And most truly do the Churches and
the people at home need the prayers and
exhortations, not only of the soldiers in
the army, but of oil good men every
where. The spirit of greed of gain, ex-
tortionate prices, and covetousness was
never so alarming as at present. Witness
the abundant crop of wheat already har-
vested, and yet fora barrel of Flour
from fifty to sixty dollars is exacted. and
but very little offered for sale at that
With the prospect of a new corn cron
large and full, granaries still filled with
old corn, and yet it is hard to get meal
or ii sold, from six to seven dollars ner
eashel ~ust be paid The Holy Scrip
lures PROFOUND this solemn question: :
:" He that seeth his brother ln need and
shutteth up the bowels of his compass
sion, how dwelleth the love of God in
him." And yet church members do it.
Deacons, elders, class-leaders, and even
ministers of the gospell Will God pros
per such a sin committed against Him
ana the bounties He has lavished upon
bis Stewards? Can they ask Gods
blessing upon such prices demanded for
the necessaries Of life !? Remember.
that for all these things, God will cali
thee into judgment"

The Prospect.

Notwithstanding tie unfortunate diyis-
LOT OF sentiment that distracts the people
OF North Carolina, (Which we hope yet to
see adjusted and h~armonized,) we are
glad to be able to state that encouraging
accounts reach us every day in regard to
the condition of our troops. The late
proclamation has called oslt many sulkers
from their hiding places. The sxtention
OF the CONSUMPTION is bringing many val
liable soldiers into the field. All things
wear a more cheerful and favorable aspect.
q 'ospects of the Confedercy will be-
GIN to brighten from this day. TIE PEG.
pie begin to discover that the sudden de-
struction which seemed to overhang them
ale" weeks since, has disappeared. From
a state of low depression and apprehen-
slo'., the public. mind is rapidly reacting.
Confidence in the ultimate trinmnh Of
our cause is daily growing stronger. The
war spirit is rapidly reviying. Deter
mined resistance to the bitter end is mark.
ed upon almost every c~ountenance. The
late atrocities of the enemy have shown
US that ruin and degradation will be the
consequence of submission. Liberty
or death" are the only alternatives. We
believe that the minds of the great mass
OF the people are made up to accept the
latter rather than became the slaves
OF Yankees and negroes. The day Of
trial is indeed upon US the day in which
we can discern between the true and the
false. The goats are separated from the
sheep. 1t is we'll that the searching test
has been applied. Let us know who are
our rae from professea friends. AS
Paul said of the Jews-"He is not a
friend, which is one outwardly, but he
IS a friend, which is one inwardlv y
Friendship is that of the heart. in the
spirit and not profession. The winds OF
adversely are fast blowing away the chat.

The News of the Week.

The chief point of attraction for the
past week, has been at Charleston. We
published last week that heavy breaches
had been made in the walls of Fort Sum.
ter. Since that time the fort has been
greatly demolished, but our forces still
hold it and are making a determined re-
sistance, the enemy not yet having at
tempted to take possession of it. A de-
mand (unsigned) was made for the sur
render Of Fort Sumter and Battery Wag-
ner, accompanied with a threat that UNI
less complied with the city of Charleston
would be shelled within four hours. The
demand was returned for a signature, and
soon after the enemy commenced throw
ing shells into the city frem a distance of
about five miles. Several twelve inch
Parrot shells fell in the city, but no one
was hurt.
.Onthe 06th, the enemy's land batteries
maintained a steady fire on Sumter all
day; and that evening about dark, the
enemy's battery opened q furious FIRE on
Wagner, preparatory to an assault. The.
assault was made that night and the ene-
my rspulsed.
LArsR--Col. Peter MallStt, att Camp
Holmes has received a dispatch dated the
9th, which states that Fort Wagner,
though much defaced is as strong as ev-
er. The troops are in good spirits and
fight the enemy well. We have no idea
of being overpowsred. The enemy have
thrown shells into the city, but that is
lot taking it. Our batteries on Sulliv-
ans Island have been so strengthened as
to make the entrance into Charleston
harbor extremely doubtful" Signed Capt.
I. Mallett-approvcd by Gen. Beaure-
gard.
The army of Northern Virginia seems
to be quiet, except now and then some
skirmishing. Advices from Culpeper say
that in q skirmish with the yankee raid
ers near Bristol on the 21st,, they were
driven off and q few prisoners captured.
Their object seems to be the destruction
of the. Central Railroad. Imboden is on
their track and they are said to be falling
back. The weather has become quite
cool, and the change of temperature, it is
said, will doubtless expedite the resump-
ton of active hostilities in Northern Fr-
ginia. o..
The enemy has r~eappsared in some
force in the vicinity of Snffolk.
Gen. John B. Floyd died at his resi-
dence in Abingdon, Va, on the 26th inst.
He was ex-Gov. of Va, and Mr.. Buch-
anan's Secretary of War under the old
government. Gen. Floyd has done good
service in the Southern cause. He was q
brave and skillful officer.
Judge Ould, our Exchange Commits
sioner, has had an interview with the
new Northern Commissioner, in which he.
submitted q proposition relative to the
exchange of prisoners. But the federal
commissioner declined to accede until he
had consulted his authorities at Wash
