Camp Lee and the Death of Uteland.
LEXINGTON, Va, July 9TH, 1873.

LEXINGTON, VA, July 7th, 1873.
Dr. William Bro,oa.
Dear Sir-When you were here last month, on
our University Board, ] mentioned to you an in
cident of the war, which l think, is worth record
ing.
In February, 1862, was in Richmond, and
rode out TO Camp Lee to see my son, Captain
Greenee Davidson, who was then training his
Letcher Battery there On my arrival the Camp
was in commotion at the sudden death of one
mis- men, named Uteland, of Manchester, who was
thrown from the frightened horses Of a Battery
wagon, and his head crushed beneath its Wheels
| looked upon his blood, and returned to the
city with note from my son to the Rev, nr. Moses
D. Hoge, to meet him and fifty Of his men at Ute
lands house, in Manchester, at ten o'clock the
next morning, delivered the note, and took
carriage the next Moruing, and rode out to the
house of Uteland, with my son Albert, Lieuten
ant in his brothers. Battery, intending to take the
family to Hollywood Cemetery.
When reached the house, Dr. Hoge had COM
meuced the services there; hut nay son had not
arrived The procession then left the house for
HOLLYWOOD, with the widow and her fatherless chill
dren in my carriage Ga reaching Hollywood, my
son had not arrived, and as the grave was too mar
row for its cofhn sometime vas consumed IN eDS
larging it. Around it we're the newly made graves
of a thousand soldiers.
Dr. Hoge said to me that be always wished to
deliver such funeral addresses in the presence Of
the soldiers, aud regretted much the absence OF
nv son aud his men. short address was made
and the coffin was about to be lowered, when my
son appeared with fifty of his men, having gone
to Manchester aud returned after we had left it.
Nov, Doctor said [, your wish is gratifed. y
The men, wild, reckless aud hardy soldiers, who
afterwards fought nobly with him through all his
battles, to his death at Charlottesville, we're
| drawn up by their Captain, in line below the
grave, and above it stood DR.. Hoge, aud spoke in
these words: BE ye also ready for you know not
the day nor the hour" Here are a thousand
graves speaking with a thousand tongues, Be ye
also ready for you know not the day nor the hour
Those wild men, many of whom had scarcely
ever heard or needed the word Of God, bowed
themselves before tie preacher with uncovered
heads, and wept like little children.
| The scene cannot De painted, OUT us plcIuIe ID
yet fresh in my memory. These brave and hardy
soldiers becoming as little children before the man
of Cod his kind presence, as he stood over them,
and spoke to them, engraved deep on my memory
a scene that will pass from 1t only when have tol
lowed Utelaud and his Captain to my grave.
And here must say that this scene has mel
anchoy interest to me; as my son Greenlee was

Another Bible Decision.

5 Two years ago a coalition4was formed between
the German rationalists, the Roman Catholics and
the Free Religionlsts, of Cincinnati, to prohibit
the use of the Bible in the public schools in that
city. By secrecy and adroit manipulation OF ward
politics, they secured majority in the common
council, and passed the prohbitory ordinance e
The matter was at once taken to the courts. and a
perpetual injunction obtained against the enforce
ment Of this ordinance. This decision has since
remained authority until, few days ago, the Su-
preme Court of Ohio gave an adverse decision, to
the effect that school boards may at their option,
prohibit the use of the Bible as textbook or
otherwise, in the schools This decision will be
the signal for fresh onslaught by combinations
of papists and atheists, upon the Bible and not
only so, but upon all textbooks which directly or
indirectly teach Christian morality. The contest
is not over book, but over principle Atheists
and their kindred wage war upon everything which
partakes of dogmatic religious character, even
the doctrine of gratitude to God. The papists
unite with them for the purpose OF subjecting che
schools to the charge of atheistic propagandism,
which charge they expect to use in their attempts
to secure public moneys for the support Of their
jesuitica institutions, and for the purpose of pre-
venting papal parents from sending their children
to the public schools

German professorship 10 the Chicago Seminary for
such students; which seems altogether the better
plan. The Prestytery of Newark, on the other
hand has met with success in its enterprise, hay.

Reformed Church.

If we may Judge from the tenor of the report on
the question of union submitted to the recent Sy-
nod of the Reformed Church (Dutch,) that de-
nomination ha- a perplexing and serious matter to
decide upon. Propositions of union have come to
it from three different quarters. Which shall 1t
accent? Near us, say the Committee, lis the
Northern Presbyterian Church, inviting our Chris
tian fellowship. We live among them, and should
have their help, as well as part in their great
organization, which we should swell by our own
dowry of wealth and numbers, devoted to CON-
mon cause while we should economic by diminish
ing our expenses Still we should lose our history,
name. and identity, Are we prepared for this ?
Can we carry our churches in bulk, East and, West
to them2 Or, by rendjng attachments, sFall we
create schism in healing one?" Important con-
siderations, certainly linen, turning farther off
there are the Southern Presbyterans urging union
with a still more earnest voice. and union with
them would not affect the Reformed educational
institutions, and would possibly preserve and give
great strength to their name. But if the union
be organic, continue the Committee, Ito reach
them we must go across the continent with the
great body of the Northern Church between us
Would the union strengthen US at the North, or
we them at the South? And how would it affect
our relations with others nearer. whose advances
we must therefore decline?' The third sutton Is
the German Branch of the Reformed Church /;
kindred in lineage, in name in doctrine with, per
haps, some exceptions and representing large.
industrious, sturdy, and intelligent population.
Union with this body would be the most natural
though, from the very fact of family relationship,
it might be the most difficult The solution of this
whole problem is left to the wisdom OF a commit
tee Of fifteen ministers and elders, which is to re-
port next year.

Church Union.

The brethren who have started the Church
Union, in New York; toabor for the removalof ali
denominational divisions, must remember that
meu not alike, do not look at things In the
same way, cannot be made to run 10 the same
grooves. Some people can worship best with an
Episcopal liturgy, some fnd the Lord nearest in
Methodist class meeting. 1t is no treason to his
political faith for republican to believe that

stances. the best government tor some people,
We believe in the Congregational poity because,
on It's broad basis and IL its grand catholiclty,
Christians of different NAMES can so readily unite
for Christian work and church fellowship But
how caa an Eplscopalan, who consclentlously be-
heyes in EpIscopacy as OF divine appointment,
come upon common ground with US? Or we with
him? And even if all Christians were Congrega-
uonalists to-day, we dare say they would be group
ing themselves in a denoml1atlOnal way tomorrow
birds OF feather, who shpuld prefer some sort
of an itinerant ministry, or liturglca form Of
worship, focking together. Denominatonal d.
visions may elp>eE-thay may hinder, 1t is not
necessarily the community that has but one church,
where The most or the beat Christian work is done.
What we want is to remove the divisions that so
sorrowiully hinder the good cause.-The lntolerant

| understand the article of our present constitu-
ton forbidding ecclesiastical corporations is not
found in the year 1851 and did not originate with
President Jefferson. 1t is, however, provision
of our present constitution, which is the only es

was unable to see them He, however, assured
me the fact twas as stated. From the preamble Of
our present constitution took down correctly the
dates of the various constitutions and any mis-
takes in giving the dates OF the constitutions of
Virginia, were simply typographical.
Into the historical error above alluded to l was
led by relying on the memory of others, in whose
intelligence then had and still have the fullest
confidence. 1t seems, however, their memory
misled them, tried to see the authorities on the
subject, but after making application at several
lawyers Offices was unable to find them.
