HISTORIC GROUND.

HISTORIC GROUND.
Here a b cody battle was fought on
the 9th of November, 1868, between the
forces of the Federal commander Gen.
w. w. Averill and the Coniederstes I'M
der Gen. John Echols. A popularity of
the contest was that the forces engaged
on either side were Western Virginians.
when Greek meets Greek then comes
the tug of war" and when the West
Virginia soldiers came in conflict the
struggle was bitter and the contest
bloody. Although the most heroic valor
WAS dIplayed by officers and men, the re-
suit was disastrous TO the COntederates,
result to be attributed to bad general
ship more than any other cause. The
force of Gen. Echols was inferior to that
of Averil, but EchOls had the advantage
of position. Averill, however, proved
the superior in generalship. The num-
Der of slain and wounded on the field
after the battle attested the vslor of the
men and the hercenesS of the contest.
There is scarcely anything left to mark
the sanguinary conflict. Luxuriaut
grass is waving over the knoll where the
artillery was planted, the graves OF the
buried slain are leveled down, and there
is nothing to arrest the attention OF the
traveller TO the spot as the scene OF bat
tie between cOuntrymen. When nature
has done so much to oblterste traces OF
the civil conflict, why is it thst men
cannot emulate her and wine
out the heart wounds? Where
fourteen years ago the booming OF artil-
lerv and the roar of musketry were
heard, to-day, not far distant are heard
the shouts OF the ranscmed of the Lord,
who have returned aud come 10 Zion
with songs and everlasting JOY upon
their heads. The gratifying contrast
only evinces that the better angels OF OUr
nature are at work.
ORGANIC UNION OF METHoDISM.
Another evidence that better feeling
is prevailing among all classes is the
irsternal relation existing between the
Northern and Southern Methodlsts ut
their camp meeting This is the first
time since the war that they have been
brought into harmonious working. The
feeling in this section has been very BIT
ter. The lines were closely drawn during
the war, and after It's close the
bitter feeling was intensified be-
cause of litigation In reference to
church property. The compromise sgveed
upon at the Cape May conference has
this luig9us contest, and the
members of the two branches OF Methc-
dism have found much time 10 cultivate
Christian spirit towards each other, and
the nearest approach to coming to.
yether has been their Union in this
amp meeting. The success of their
united work is the best illustration that
Christians can live together, if they will.
