WE give on our second page. in
speaking of the manifested lax attend
ance on the churches from one excuse
or another, a brief reference to the
earnest work of the evangelical minis
try IN the cities to arouse public
thought on the question of leading a
religious life. Since that article was
put in type the New York Sun has
come to hand with an editorial on the
same subject. Under the topic of ga
Revolutionary Upheaval," it says:
''We print to-day further selections
from the many letters on subjects of
religion which come to us by every
post. So great and general interest in
the momentOus questions discussed in
dicates an awakening of the public
mind which will be notable in religious
history. In our whole experience we
have never received so vast volume
of correspondence on any other subject
no, not tithe of the amount. More
over, instead of diminishing, it is in
creasing daily, so that if we publish
all the letters we should have little
room left for anything else. Accord
ingly. we are compelled to select for
printing only those which are gen
orally representative of tone and opin-
ion OF many.
So profound has been the learning
and so acute the reasoning in the let
ters on immortality specifically that
we have received numerous requests
for their republication in a book as the
best and most suggestive discussion of
the subject attainable.
No one can have read those hundreds
and thousands of letters, and dealing
with phases of the same great theme,
and all written solely to give clear ex-
preston to ideas, thoughts and feel
ings honestly entertained, in order to
gain or contribute something toward
the settlement of that awful question
without being impressed profoundly
by the evidence they afford that we are
in the midst of religious revolution
in this country altogether unpre-
cedented.

LAST night was "All Hallow Fen

has decended to us from the supersti-

years to a season of youthful frolic, and
is thus described by a writer:
''The night of October 81, the eve or

is variously termed Halloween, nut
cracked and snapapple night. This is
the night of all nights in the year
when the supernatural is rife, and
spells, misunderstanding elves and un
seen agencies run riot. While Saint
Valentines Day is also given over to
fetes and lovers, yet Halloween is re-
garded the best night of all for divina-
ton. To discover just what sort of
husband or wife one is to be blessed
with, enters almost all the youthful

The Milford Chronicle announces
itself decidedly in favor of the two
factions of the Republican party "get-
ting together" 1t says:
cat this time as we understand the
matter, the only real bone of conten-
ton is the question of apportionment
OF the number of delegates each county
shall be entitled to in State Conven-
ton. We claim that there should be
equal representative districts in the
State. The Regulars" claim repre-
sentation for each county according to
population, and to consider the CITY of
Wilmington as a county by itself.
Under the census of 1870. with q
population of 112, ,215, Wilmington had
40 delegates; Rural New Castle county.

If the census of 1890, with its popu-
lation of 1853, 493 is taxed as the basis
OF apportionment, the number of dele
gates to a State Convention would
probably be:

The position of the so-called "Regu-
lars" in their obduracy about getting
together" is as clear as mud. The
Morning NeaOs says:
"There is something radically wrong
with the Middletown Transcript. 1t
seems to imagine that it alone has
stood against the attempted usurpation
of the Republican party for the sole
use and behoof of one man."
The Nea0s goes on to say: 'We are
to day Jealous for the success of the
Republican party in the future, and
anxious to have the division in the
ranks of the party closed so that the
Republicans can again go to glorious
victory.

dlers In '63.

the colonel of civil war union regi-
ment, the date of the letter being dur
ing the siege of Chattanooga:
"Chattanooga, Tenn. Nov. 7, 1S63-My
Dear 6lther: The run of matters here dur
ing my absence has been distressing. AS
intimated in a letter from Nashville ii
was a serious question whether the army
would not be obliged to fall back for sup
plies to Bridgeport or Stevenson, giving up
this place entirely, and making the cam
paign over again in the spring. 1t even
came to this-shall we suffer for food ard
starve ii through, or leave? And the army
said: Let us starve. And for three weeks
officers and men have actually felt the
pangs Of hunger. officers faring worse than
men, because with the food that came the
men were always supplied first
"Oficers OF high rank have walked these
stNeets without tasting food for "a hours.
Horses and mules have starved to death
by thousands. At our table we were re-
duced to spoiled pork and crackers with
worms in them and coffee-and guests
were fed there and were thankful. And all
this time the men worked hard on the
fortihcations, and there was scarcely any
grumbling. The men In our regiment had
a cracker and a half each one morning for
breakfast and nothing else-no dinner or
supper following-and worked on fort all
the next day without mouthful and come
home at night to eat little beef secured
by foraglng, and nothing else.
THANK God. 1t is over now, and Chat
tanooga is ours after this second great VIC
tory, for no army ever gained a more sub
stantia4 one and no army in this country
ever suffered more terribly or for a longer

and have written the bright side, II there
