We.tuct the enemy at the gap and held I hem i check until the buk of our army A md croused the Aitietam at Sharpsburg. t 11ere was fought the most gigantic battle t of the war. Sharpsburg was the center of hree most stragetic points, Boonsboro, lar per's Ferry and the quiet little village of C 3harpsburg. Here it was that we lay in a a line orchard of delicious fruits with no ra- t tions to eat and forbidden to pluck the lucicus fruit from the boughs, it was here that the Yankee cannoncers came to our v assistance by shelling the orchard and tj knocking (own an abundance of the mel low fruit, with which we appeased our rapid appetites. c We then crossed back to the Virginia side and rested in the valley till reentled to the itappahannock We p) cipated in the battles of Frederiesburg, Vt ;i:rniess, Spottsylvania C. 11., Old Coal H.Arbor, New Coal larbor, second battle at Seven I ies, siege of tichinomd and Petersburg.

Some of whom were the relatives, neighbors and friends of company "I,' i namely, Johnt Callitam, John A. IHinton Win I, ennell.Eliasp Gilstra andWn Mairtin, also of Anderson County. We were in the battle at Wills' Valley, on the Tennessee river, on the 29th of October, '63, and at the siege or Knoxville, also the fight at Bean Station and Campbells Station, also the little light with cavalry at Damdhidge, where the lamented \V.

We were the rear guard at the evacuation of Petersburg when that city was evacuated, and we did duty all the way on that tortuous march from the city of Petersburg to the court house at Appumat tox where we surrendered, and in stacking arms we faced our old enemy of the swamps of the Chickahomimy; the regi ment of valliant soldiers with whom we met at the battle of Gainvs' Mill; we stuck ed arms to the Sixteenth Michigan regi ment.

Some other routine business was ttended to and the Presbytery adjourned > meet at 8 p. in. The grea.ter part of the evening session fas consumed in hearing narratives from tie different churches and the reports of :ie different committees read. There was itch of an encouraging nature in these ommnunications. Tle ministers were de Jared to have been faithful and earnest in tie discharge of their mission in preaching he Word. The churches were shown to e taking a greater interest in the different auses of the church by a considerable in ren.e in their contributions over these of U1rm-er vUurs.

There was sonie opposition to granting hese requests on the grouad that 'the :hurch, as it church, has nothing to do vith secular education." According to the tanda,rds of the church "the sole func ions of the church as a kingdom and gov runient are to proclaim, to administer and o enforce the law of Christ revealed in the 5eriptures."
