Thus it viii be seen that the enormous number of
one million nine hUUdred and ten thousand nine
hundred and Stety wen haze been placed in tho
feLd. exclusive of the TEMPORAL ~ serving militia of
the black soldiers and of the hundred days who
recently offered their services.
The first item n, $50 men were enlisted
for three months only and returned to their
homes about the time Of the first battle of
Bull Run. .-a... af sru1..
The second item, 760, OIL, consists of the
troops stated by secretary Cameron to have
been enlisted for three years at the date of
his report, December 1st, 1861. AS these
were enlisted from April to December, 1851,
their terms would be expiring from April to
December of the present year. 1t is, per-
haps, impossible to tell how many of these
original volunteers of 1861 are now in the
service. Secretary Stanton, in his last re-
port, says ''Sinoe the present rebellion be-
gau about 200, 900 soldiers, after entering
the service have been discharged on Sur
geon's certificates of disability. 1t is proba-
bic that one half of them were unfit for ser
vice when received Many more have re-
/ turned home in consequence Of honorable
wounds Some have deserted. Some are in

The Great Victory Of General LOgans Corps
IOorrespondenoe Chicago Tribune.l


NASHVILLE, July 81. 1864.
Gen. Logan's 18th Corps has again added
to the imperishable honors won on many a
bloody field before. 1t has met the enemy
again, and routed theni-fearfully routed
them-with little loss to itself. The battle
of the 28th was more brilliant than any OF
its predecessors from the fact that the whole
rebel army was massed against single corps
with a view, if possible, of breaking 1t, and
getting at our communications III the vicln
ity of the Chattahoochee, -4
The army of the late lamented Mcpherson
which for so long time held position on
on our left, had been ordered to take up "a
position on our right, and had executed the
movement with great skill and CELEBRITY du-
ring the night of the 9th so that by moving
they had not only reached their new posi-
ton, but had fortified it strongly, and were
prepared to receive any attack which might
be made. ...e
The rebels early in the morning discover
ed that some change had been made in our
position, but were unable to make out Its
character, and Immediately commenced
demonstrations on our right. Indeed there
is reason to believe they thought that wing
had been weakened rather than strengthened
and Hood thought to take advantage OF it.
He believed himself able to flank Sherman
and make him abandon the works he could
not force, after two terrible battles; anc
with that view, he massed troops as already
indicated; and his dispositions evince that
he possesses no mean order OF military
talent. mad his designs succeeded, he woulc
have SO interrupted Sherman's commulca-
tons that that commander would have beer
compelled to give battle at disadvantage,
and on hoods own terms aud though ne
doubtless would have been victorious ne
would have reaped comparatively few Of the
fruits that attend success. Sherman is de
termined, when he taxes the offensive to be
able to annihilate the rebels and to make
the necessary disposition Of his troops time
is required.

XIX, 2. ''Then the same day at evening.
being the FIRST day of the week. when the
doors were shut where the disciples were
assembled, for fear of the Jews, came Jesus
and stood in the midst, and said unto them.
peace be unto u."-Juo. Xxx, 10. This
and the context clearly show that they were
assembled for divine worship. ''Aud after
eight days, again his disciples were within,
and Thomas with them; then came Jesus.
the doors being shut, and stood in the midst,
and said, peace be unto u."-gno. Xxx. &c.
Thus from apostolic example. if not from
injunction received from Christ himself,
we have proof tantamount to that of
f'Thus saith the Lord" A hundred year
after, Pliny the younger testifes that they
kept up the practice of meeting on theJfrst
dog Of the rusek to sing and pray to Christ
as God, and to VOW to each other and to
God to do no harm.
Third. The first day of the week is OBJ
served by all civilized nations. and recog
Dized in a distinct manner in their written
laws, with pains and penalties. Where two
days are kept in any community, nothing
but confusion reigns, and hence no Sabbath
is the result.
Finally, while both events should not be
forgotten, (creation and regeneration, we
think the latter should take the precedent
of the former. And from the exceeding diff
fcult nature of the precision of time, (viz
in sailors or travellers measuring the earth
east or west. and thus gaining or losing a
day in every revolution, and from the lati-
tude and longitude of different places, va
ryiug the light and shade of the earth
very greatly we come very sanely to the
conclusion that one-seventh part of the
week is what God requires, and that should
be the first day as near as practicable.

Christian sabbath.

Why keep the first day of the week, in
stead of the seventh, holy to the Lord
We answer, for many and paramount rea
sohs-
First. The Sabbath was originally in
stituted in commemoration of the work
Of creation ; and the Christian Sabbath in
commemoration of the work of redemption.
Now, inasmuch as the latter is a greater
work than the former, therefore it follows,
as natural sequence. that the Lords day
should be observed above all others. and
should overshadow and swallow up all 9TH
e1s, on account Of its commemorative aud
superlative importa nee.
Second. And though the Jewish Sabbath
was observed BY the early christians for / 80
years after the resurrection. yet they ever
after kept the first day of the week AS day
of religious worship. and of breaking bread
and prayers. as will be seen By referring to
the history. land upon the first day OF
the week. when the disciples came together
to break bread, Paul preached unto them
