n An army officer, writing from the
Carolnas during the last year Of the war,
describes the characteristics Of the negroes

quently to overhcar their devotions, both
solitary and social; and gives the follow.
ing lines, in effect, the prayer-or, at least,
part Of the devotions Of one Of them. Il
seems to me that, rightly read, there will be
found in them much Of melody and pathos.
