TRUST IN GoD AND KEEP YOUR POWDER
DRY.-An incident Of the battle of Gettysburg
has come to our notice, which shows most con-
aiusiyely that our chaplains can fight as well
cs pray.
Many men having fallen before the unerring
rine oil some concealed sharpshooter of the
Toe, CONSERVATION and dread was experienced
oy 'ne members of company who were anx
ious 10 determine the locality from whence so
many death-gving messengers proceeded. AT
last an ola veteran pointed out at a distance of
four hundred yards to the front and RIGHT. the
lily concealed uniform of the expert who
had been doing the mischief. There he was.
sitting snugly amid the tolubranches of a tree
and habited la the blue dress of the ITnian sol
diers, had pursued unmolested his murderons
work. But this security was of but short dur
alton.
Calling to his side the Chaplain of Berdan's
Sharpshooters, who, by the way, is considered
the best shot in the regiment, the old fox-hunt
er having spent his skill in vain attempts to
dlslodge the fellow, now cried to the reverend
man to try his shooting, adding, at the same
Time, For Gods sake, chaplain, rid us of this
cuss." The chaplain having ascertained that
the man in blue" was veritable ''reb," was
induced to sight piece at him. The report
ana iaii Of the man were as one. The ball had
well sped.

MAINE BOYS AT RG.-Gradually
as the two opposing lines of battle approached
each other, as the deadly interchange became
more frequent, there appeared the Haunting ban
ner Of the 47th Alabama Regiment, waving
defiance to those of the Maine 20th Now was
to come the struggle of the right and left The
10th Maine occupied the extreme left of our
lines, while the Attn Alabama we're upon the
right of the enemy.
As the combatants neared each other, the
goth Maine were thrown out as skirmishers,
with instructions to take and TO hold, if posi-
bic, the brow of a small hill called "round-
top As the Maine boys dashed up the emil
nence, upon the one side, the 47th Ala
bama came tearing up the other. Both regi-
ments met at the summit, and with fierce wells
commenced the fray. Imbued with the valor
so Inherent to all of the Pine Tree State, the
gallant goth, occupied in cutting through the
lines, soon found themselves subject to a fire
from their left and rear. The right wing of
the unruy foe had succeeded, in the smoke
and confusion, in getting large thanking
party in their rear, aad were now confident in
being able to route the twentieth In this,
however, they were foiled; redoubling their ex-
ertions, the Maine boys pierced and divided
the enemy's line, and making Circuit around
the left flank, came upon the flanking party
of rebels in the rear and made prisoners of
the entire number, amounting TO three humid
dred, greater force than those of the TWEEN
tieth engaged. 1fl9r
BY most singular coincidence these two
regiments had, at their different engagements,
been posted in their respective lines, directly
opposite to each other; and so familiar had
become the faces of the beligreents, that the
officers readily recognized each other. Prior
to the battle of Gettysburg, Col. Chamberlain's
regiment was known TO the 47th Alabamians

EVENING PAPERS.


NEW YORK, Sept. 4.
The Times of this morning prints the fol-
lowing statement:
Having just returned from the city of
Richmond, Virginia, where have been over
one year, | wish you would give the following
publication:
have, daring my stay in Richmond, made
the intimate acquaintance of j. Lane, a Cap
tain in the Confederate army, son of Gen. Joe
Lane of Oregon, who is well informed. and
who assured me that the late invasion of the
North by Gems. Lee and Morgan were made
upon the earnest and undoubted representa-
tions OF that true Southern man." Vallandig-
ham, who assured President jeff Davis and
his Cabinet that the North was ripe for a revo-
iution, and only awaited the appearance of the
Southern army TO proclaim Tor JEFF. Davis and
forsake Lincoln.
MIR. Valandigham's Representations were
corroborated by the tone of the majority of
the Northern journals, who surely would not
denounce the Administration boldly, except
by the assurance OF having the masses strong
ly in their favor.
l have sent copy of this note to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer.

Hon. Reyerdy johnson, of Maryland, adj
dressed the Saratoga County Agricultural So
ciety to-day. His address was brief and large
ly devoted to national affairs. 1t was pervad-
ed by spirit of intense devotion to the Union,
and enjoined the duty of sustaining the Gov
eminent in the struggle with the rebellion
Without expressing an opinion as to the valid
ity of the Emancipation proclamation he held
that If in the exercise Of any constitutional
war power slaves should become free, they
cannoV be re-enslaved; and If not then, the
whole question would rest with the people of
those States when they resumed their places
IN the Union. Slavery was an evil iraught full
OF national difficulties, and would eventually
fall in the contest with free principles.
