Chaplaln's Repc<t- lst Del. Regt.

We have received the following report Of
Chaplain Murphy, Of the lst Delaware Regi-
ment, which shows gratifying improvement
in the moral condition of the troops:
HEADQUARTERS lST RECT. DEL. Vols. !

Col. T.. \. SMYTH, Commanding lst Del.
Regt.,
Sir | have the honor to present the fol-
lowing report Of the moral and religious condf
ton of the Regiment during the quarter just
closed.
The few opportunities which have occurred
during the inclemency of the winter months
for holding public religious services have been
embraced, and the attendance on these Servi-
ces has been good. The Regiment has been
re-supplcd with the New Testament Scriptures
and [ have also distributed large number of
tracts and other religious publications. which
have been read with good degree Of interest
Besides preaching in the camps, [ have held
weekly services in the Hospital when the CON
dition of the patients would permit. What
has been and will be the result Of these scrvi-
ces L will not presume to say. The seed of
truth has been sOwn and the promise of God
is, that his word shall not return unto him void.
To mo it Is solemn thought that it will be a
SAVIOR of life or of death tO those who have
heard, and that they who dispiSc the truth
will perish As not all the seed sOwn by the
huSbandman terminates and yields forth fruit,
neither are we to suppose that every truth
yields its fold in return. But it is very certain
if no seed is sown there will be no harvest
1t is equally sure that if the gospel be not
preached, souls will perish. For God has
determined by the. foolishniss (as some men
count it, of preaching to save them that he
! lieve. Let no one thcn contend with his Ma
ker as to the necessity and importance Of preach
ing, but on the contrary, let each encourage
others TO attend the dispensation of the divine
| word. 1t has often been remarked in my hear
! ing, that the moral moral condition of the reg
iment was never better than now Gambling
since your order against if, is far less common
Drunkenness is confined to few, and our ear
are not so often greeted with profane and indie

OPiniens of o Historian.

The late great Union meetings that have
been held in New York, Baltimore and many
other places in the loyal States by the numbers
and enthusiasm which attended them show a
better manifestation Of public feeling than had
been exhibited before for some months Nor
is this all, seeing the sentiment the copperhcads
were inculcating to poison the minds of the
people, has caused the friends of the Union to
come out and take bolder and frmar stand in
defence of the government and Administration.
Geo. Bancroft the historian tnot politicanl
in speech at the great New York meeting
said:
"Nor are we deferred from rendering low
al support to the Government by the thought
that the war in its results will weaken Slavery.
or even work its overthrow Civil war has Al
WAYS, in Gods providence, been a meaus for
rescuing men from bondage. Who is there to
to deplore the probable result that States where,
in time past, labor has been despised, should
come to own the true nobility Of the working
man, and restore the fields and workshops to
the free? LOnd applause Take Virginia fer
example. Her soil is fertile, her air salubri-
GUS; her springs renovate health; her noun
tains glisten with precious ores There, in her
many chambers, where nature has heaped up
stores of gold and silver, of gyp,um and iron,
of salt and "copper" an evil spirit has cast over her
its spell, and she sleeps in almost hopeless leth-
argy. Who will mourn if the time has come
when her long and deep slumber shall be bro
KEN? Who will grieve if the procession of
the Star Spangled Banner, borne onward to the
songs Of liberty, shall wake her from her trance
Of centuries? Cheers Then let her clothe her

The present bitterness will pass away, the next
generation other sons will meet ours in naffection,
and they will own that from this desperate
strife has sprung the blessed regeneration of
their lovely land. Great applause Nor is

has rendered himself deservedly popular by the
deep interest he has taken in the soldiers from

DEMOCRATIC CONsIsTENCY.-A steady and
continual opposition is made by the Democratic
party as q mass, to every measure of Congress
identified with the vigorous prosecution of the
war but to none more so than to those which
prc-cmincntly represent the national authority
the Consr, iption act and the authorization Of
Treasury note issues. The opposition to these
is made the test of Democratic adhesion, and
is kept up by every Democratic orator and
newspaper in the North. 1t is curious fat
that the South, with which they all sympathize
had from the very start resorted to these mca-
sures, and that they were the most effectual
weapon of the rebellion

The Good Time Coming.

The evidence of a slow improvement of
public sentiment at the South begins to make
its appearance. The Richmond Erdminer ac-
cuses the Wings of Virginia of acting in the
spring elections in accordance with their old
Union views, and says that they ehdeavor
to seduce Democrats by appealing to the
sold Union sentiment" by attempting to
prejudice them against Democratic leader as
the authors of the present war, and by say
ing they {the Whigs) could have prevented
u dissolution, and are now the only party
capable Of restoring the ancient order Of
things This is by no means Improbable.
The Wings of the South were always strong
ly national in tone, opposed to the intense
sectionsllism of the South Carolina school of
politicians and in favor of consolidating the
faith of the people around the national
Union, Constitution, and government. This
was especially the case with the Wings OF
Virginia If the Southern remnant OF this
once powerful party can succeed in reorgan-
izing public sentiment at the South on a
Union basis, it will be more glorious
achievement than any in their past history
The pressure of the secession despotlsm has
kept them down thus far, and doubtless the
ruthl. ,s hand of war has forced many of
them into the army and into their graves
But it is gratifying to know that the old
leaven is still powerful, and not crushed out
| by the rebellion. The Democratic party at
the South has been extinguished by the war,
! Democratic doctrines ere secuted at by those
who once made use of the party 10 accom-
pli4h their own designs. They cannot give
the lie now to the course they have been
pursuing with so much violence since 1860.
But it seems that there is still Union par
| ty at the South in the remnant of the old
| Wing, who still fondly cherish the memo
ries of the great republic in its glorious days.
1t is sufficient to know, by the admission o.
the ELaauiiur, that these Wings have found
courage at last to make their true sentiments
known i'll favor of the restoration of the
Union. No immediate results may follow
this: but such movement once begun il
the heart Of rebeldOm must increase with
the march of time and the lingering courst
Of the war. The significant action Of the
Georgia Legislature, and the recent state
ments Of rebels who have reached Nashville
of the proStration ofsplrit at the South, an(
the loss ofhope in ultimate success, taker
in connection with this demonstration il

GEN BANKS OPERATIONS. The official in

ports of his successes in the Techc country.
With force estimated at 10000, and four
gunboats, he has cleared out the whole of West
ern Louisiana of the rebels, marched over 300
miles, lost about 600 men in killed and wound
ed, and took from two to three thou.and prii-
oners. The destruction of rebel gunboats and
transports, stores, ammunition, &C., is loss
which will not be easily recovered from, espe-
cially as he now commands the sources of sup
ply to the rebels on the eastern side of the Mis-
SisSippi. Banks seems to have conducted the
business with great Judgment, and to fully re-
alize the expectations which his friends had
formed of his military abilities

BAPTISM BY IMMERSION SETTLED. AT a
session Of a Kentucky Court, held a few years
ago. a negro woman was convicted of capital
crime and sentenced to be h;ing. In a few
weeks she professed to be converted, and the
jailor moved his Honor, Judge N, for an
order allowing her to be removed from the jail
to be baptized
Why not baptize her in the jail?" asked
the Judge.
She wishes 70 be immersed. She dom
believe sprinkling or pouring valid baptism, y
says the turnkey.
Judge N reflected a moment and an
swered: 81 have right to settle that question
Mr.. Clerk, make an order that the court, be
ing sufficiently advised, decides that sprinkline
is valid baptism"
So this vexed question is settled by Ken
