CHRISTMAS, 1877.

This Christmas day VIII long be re-
membered by the people of Parkersourg.
1t was really an all day and halt the
night revival meeting. Indeed, 1t Is
hardly worth while tor anyone toinqulre
what time the meetings are TO begin, Tor
if one wishes to attend Mr.. Hsmmonds
meetings, ne may call nj most any
hour and find services in progress.
This morning at 81 o'clock the Church
was filed at the inquiry and praise
meeting, and thence to the platform on
the square, Mr.. Hammond addressed q
large crowd, then back again 10 the
church, the services continued into the
afternoon. Again at 81 O'Clock came
the children's meeting, which ne insists
is lust rs ecoi for crown people, beng
the sar.,...0. 1T doe. This continued
into the oyGnILg services, at whlch
there was another overflow Ike last
Sunday night, 1t taking the two churches
to hold the people. At the open air
meeting Monday evening Mr.. hammond
spoke OF how busy every. merchant was
supplying Christmas presents Tor the
morrow. "And now," said he, ave are
going 10 have great least and Christ
mas tree up here at the tabeT-
nacle tomorrow. Come up, ali you
unconverted men and women,
snd you may have Christmas gilt
worth more than ten thousand dollars.
God will give you new heart, II you
ask 1t, and that will be precious to you
above all price"
In the experience meetings through
the day, great many acknoWI
edged the receipt OF the gilt. A young
lady SAID, she had in her life received u
great many Christmas gifts that snevalued
highly, but she had received one to-day
precious above ali others, and that WAS
new heart. She then urged all her un-
converted friends to come at once and
accept the precious gift that the Savior
was so ready and willing to give TO al!
them that would ask 1t.
A prominent citizen VINO had long been
a hard nker, told how ne had been IN
deep trouble for days, and to-day,
for the first time in his lite, yielded 10 his
wife's opportunities TO ask the blessing
At the table, and sobbing like q little
child he told how he tount joy in the
very act of this first duty, and no one
dared question the truth o; his broken
words, that that was the happlest
Christmas dinner OF mis- life. The interert
is deepening and widening, and mary
Christians who were holding al0ot are
becoming so absorbed with personal
work, they are forgetting whether Mr..
Hammond's plans suit them or not.
Men o. all Glasses are being reached, and
for great results Christians seem to con
udentiy HOPE.

amounting 10 20,60l officers and men, TO
which should be added the 1 general officers
and officers of the general staff serving with
them, together with so Indian scouts.
The General details the operations Of the
army during the year, referring especially,
and in high terms of praise, 10 the conduct
Of officers and men during the late Indian
war, and Mt the time Of the recent riots. IL
appears that General Sheridan, in recon-
mending an increase of every company i'm
the service to one hundred men, expressed
the opinion that had this been done
some time ago the Indian troubles would
have been settled promptly, with strong
probability that they would not have oc-
Cured at all" General Sheridan adds
1.-The Indian troubles in this division are
are over for the present. | can not say that
they are finally ended. Complications are
still liable to arise, and our experience
should teach us to be better prepared than
we have hitherto been" General Sherman
agrees with Sheridan's recommendation,
which would raise the army To nearly
cVtVNV men, Dut uehpans OF success IN
such application to Congress, and therefore
urges such legislation as will give the $4,000
men for regiments of the line. This
would make for the present 1870 com
panies, OF an average OF ffty-eight men to
n company. al believe il TO he wrong and
damaging to increase the cavalry at the ex.
peDse of artillery and infantry. The latter
do as much good service as cavalry, are MS
necessary, and cost much less for mainte-
nance. All are equally necessary, and
should be on par, but the President should
have a right to increase the companies sta
toned at exposed points at the loss of
others not similarly situated"
The concluding portion of the report is
devoted To an account of General Towards
movements in pursuit of the Nez Perces, and
the final capture by Col. Miles. General
Sherman says, of course Col. Miles and his
officers and men are entitled to all honor
and praise for their prompt, skillful, and
successful work, while the others, by their
long, tolsome pursuit, are entitled to
corresponding credit, because they made
that success possible. The General hopes
these Indians will be provided with homes
in the spring, on the Indian reservation near
the Modocs, where, by moderate labor, they
can soon be able to support themselves i'm
peace. They should never again be allowed
to return to Oregon or to Lapwai.
