BY invitation of the chaplain, Rev.
Father Pendergrast preached to the sol
diers Sunday morning. Nearly the en-
tire regiment heard him. His text was
Virtue exalteth a people, but sin
maketh nation desolate." There are
about sixty Roman Catholics in the
regiment. A majority of the soldiers
who are members of any church, are
Baptists and Methodists. Some of them
have expressed desire to hear min
lister of their faith, and Chaplain Osborn
would no doubt be only too glad to have
some of the Raleigh ministers to come
out and preach for him. Mr. Osborn
is fast gaining the love and confidence
of the men, and is making a most eS
emplary chaplain.

erly and soldierly manner in which they
conducted themselves. They showed
true American manhood. worthy of the
soldiers of the United States. The
