 Resoloed, lst, That there rests on all Christ ians the strongest possible obligations to seek and secure the elevation of the standard of plety in our own hearts, and that this is best attained by a careful and penitent reflection upon our own sinfulness, and upon the purity and holiness of the character of God-seek- ing fresh baptism of the Holy Ghost and continued growth in personal piety. 2d, By seeking the same Divine presence and blessed power Tn all our congregations, thereby pro noting true revivals of religion and securing the salvation of men.

ba~ We are indebted to Hon. John H Hubbard, M. c., for copy of the Reports of the Committee on the Conduct of the War, with regard to the Fort Pillow Massacre and the Returned Prisoners. The atrocities of the enemy therein delineated and described, derived from those who were eye-witnesses and sufferers of the fendish treatment, are beyond other words to describe, and almost past be- lief. If our Government does not take speedy measures of retaliation and retribution for these outrages, we cannot imagine where such villainies will stop. It makes ones blood run cold to reflect that such scenes as the massacre of Fort Pillow have ever taken place, and much more so, that they should be passiyely submitted to.
