about six weeks ago, and, secondly, the
political soup kettle is in such a state

of J. Adams ability is compelled to

The Rev. Thos. McCleary preached at

The Rev. Thos. McCleary preached at
chapel last Sunday. He told us some
truths which the prisoner is only too
apt to forget or loose sight of in the in
tense contemplation of self. That the
prison which we ourselves make for
our souls by the sordid contemplation
of our physical condition is more to be
dreaded than that prison which the
feeble hands of man has erected to de-
tain our bodies; and that this impris-
onment of our bodies should be but
lightly regarded If it is made to lead
our better part, the soul, to rise above
its frail and material compass to some
of the heights for which it was made.
We thank Mr.. McCleary for his words.
They had that true ring which denotes
the genuine metal.

They made him a grave in the solemn hush
Of a forest of pine and spruce;
In an old coal sieve they placed some things
They happened to fnd-the rest took wings,
For he blew in a gun and his spirit sings
With the angels white, and the old-time kings
He's of no more earthly use.

Of the first division of the first corps.
The movements were under command
Of General Wilson, and the men were
Put through the exercises in a very
thorough manner. The regiments of
the division have been in camp long
enough to have become somewhat in
ured TO the climate, as well as the
work, and the maneuvers were char
t'iVl lN'l DS a ElttI tutIBN, accuracy
and remarkable precision.
General Breckinrldge and staff con-
tinued the inspection of the divisions
of the first corps In detail He found
the hospital facilities still inadequate,
but fortunately there are very few
sick, and they are being cared for at
st. Nincents hospital by the Sisters
of Charity. He states that in very
short time the hospital department
will be In good condition.
General Breckinrdge yesterday gave
orders for sham battle for inspection
this morning. The two first brigades Of
the first division of the first corps at
tackled the Third brigade, entrenched
on Snodgress Hill, the attacking bri-
gades being in command of General
Wilson and the defenders under COM
mand Of their brigade commander.
Only small percentage Of the men
have been equipped and provided for
war, but that this work is progressing
Is rapidly as possible. General Brecl-
| iuridge thinks that in view of the fact
that almost every regiment in camp
! had to be equipped almost completely,
the progress made was remarkable.
