K It seems a little odd to thiuk of a sweeping revival spirit io great annies in time of active warfare. Yet great revivals went on in the Southern army in 18?1-65. At the North thc uplifting revival of 1837 58 had aided that section !o endure the terrible Htrain o? the war; but at the South it eame in the camps, in the trenches. hospitals, everywhere io thc very mid*t of hattie toil. Thu aiu^ nificent Htrugglc of the South was better sustained f<>r the high religious spirit reached. Their great loaders Lee, .Jackson, Hill, l'avis, Hood and many others-were n,en of devout heart"; while this example, followed j by lower ofiicers, wan also shared by the common soldiers, presenting j armies io devoutness almost like Cromwell's Ironsides. To the An glo Saxon from far back in our racial history down to the present time, pa triotism and religion have seemed kindred principles. Soldiers both from, the North and South went into thc armies taking with them the re ligious life, reaohed in the homes, both sections furnishing chaplains for the regiments, besides Bibles' and other forms of religious literature. Prayers wheo the soldiers went to the war ascended from homes, from lonely trembling hearts, from tho denuded churches, on days of fasting, beside the graves of dead forms some* timas sent back from tho battlefield and hospital. The tremendous earnestness of the Southern soldiers wan duplicated by the chaplains sent out. These ser vante of God shared all the hard-: ships and exposures of the troops, marching, bivouacking, going into the battle front, visiting the wounded and dying, comforting, praying, and, in the intervals of field operations, preaching to the men, visiting hos pitals, burying the dead. Evangelists and missionaries, colporteurs, nurses, flocked to the needs of the Southern soldiers. Church gatherings, con ferences, synods, conventions, mass meetings, had the thought above all others to sustain the courage and spirit of the armies. The eight con ferences east of the Mississippi of the Methodist Episcopal church south, gent to the armies 71 chaplains and 19 missionaries. The Baptist Church also did nobly in similar lines, as did the Presbyterian and Episcopal ohurohes. Numbers of these men, from Bishop Polk io obscure workers, were slain on battlefields. From the summer of 1861, when a revival spirit was shown in the east ern armies, on through the four years, the conversion of soldiers went forwsrd. Rude chapela were built of logs or of ahaoka, and usually crowd ed to listen to preaohiog; or in move ments the eager men, when a day br two in camp gave opportunity for preaohing, would eome together at call, abd crowd around the chaplaie, who, standing on a box or stump, or any uplift, would preach to them. The singing of the grand h.? ru ns of the church by hundreds of strong men waa a o ol-in spiring. Among the favorite hymns sang, were: "How firm s foundation, ye Saints of the Lord," and" Am I a Soldier of the Cross? ' When preaohing waa carried on at night ont of doors, the ground would eome ti mes be lighted with barning piles of pi?o ksots, so well known at oasop meetings. Not al way a did tb cy depend on quiet days and protected places fer religious services, sioes ia b ele agu red Vioksburg and lo the treuehea?of Petersburg and else* where, preaching and prayer was esr? ried on. Prayer meetings held by little knots of soldiers, in a retired nook, under the IQW spreading trees, in tho . tents, everywhere, were a marked feature of the revival spirit. Experienced mea, as many of the ehaplsios were, took steps to preserve tbe prodnots of thia revival : spirit, for sf (er a while" they organised the oo?Tcrts and tho steadfa?% Christiana of older experience into regimental churches and religious associations. These, composed M asa from all seats, were of substantial worth. They adopted some brief creed or statement that covered tho field of common religions belief, working heartily together for each other and j for tho; conversion bf tba unsaved.

Beal revival services some time were held night after night, ard DRIES. ny Conversions. [DOZ io Zion's Herald. the converts counted up by the scores and hundreds. In tho army of Virginia tho prayer meetings and other religious services w?:re often at tended by Gen. R. E. Lee and ijt is in teresting to read of the revival meet ings in Pickett's division, in the corps of Jackson, or in that ofj A. P. HUI, which some of us met fin the dreadful gage of battle. Chaplains prominent in church history since tuc war, as J. B. McFerrin, E. M. Mar vin and li. I'. Kavanaugh (later to attain national prominence iu church life.) worked incessantly among thc soldiers. In the third and fourth years of thc war the western regions appeared more moved by the revival spirit than before. (Juicers, colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants, in regiments lacking chaplains, often conduoted meetings. This was especially the case west of the Mississippi. It seemed that the serious, responsible place of the soldiers, after the novelty was gone, came to them with such force that many were driven to a course of prayer. The common sol diers on either side could not fail to see the gigantic nature of the contest and feel the weight of personal duty io tho struggle. On both sides it drove men to God. While the corps of Price i \s in oamp in the winter of 1863 4, Dr. Karnaugh kept up persistent religious services all the time, reaching hundreds of conversions. Even 9 o'clock rollta'l at the camp was compelled to give way to the protracted meeting, for the chaplain prevailed on the general to have it omitted; so after preaching, the soldiers, in 'ittlo groups of 10 or 20, would go oil' into the woods, spending hours praying and singing with th oso seeking salvation, then join in shouting and praising as new born ?souls were victorious. It was estimated that in the State of Arkan sas alon*, during that winter, a thousand soldiers were converted. Both West and East the services were often conducted in real protract ed meeting, form. Those seeking re ligion were invited forward, one chap lain reporting that the night before 50 mourners were at the altai1 for prayer. The mourner's benoh, the improvised, altar, tbs cali forrard for prayers, were the common method used. By the end of the year it was esti mated that 150,000 men had been eon? verted. The Southern States had never seen before euoh a revival. Going to their homes, the disbanded soldiers pledged each other to be steadfast in the faith, and by the spiritual uplift were doubtless helped to endure. the d?vastations of their homes, tho loss of their comrades, the overturning of their po oui iar in ?iituticSj and lb? lon* toil of rebuild ing the shattered national fabric. Yesrs afterward chaplains meeting these men converted in camps found them heartily trae to the experience reached in the army. Tbs Lesi Rsuotoo. AuguetaOhroniolo.

Minor organizations in touch wiih tho IJ. C. V. had their little reunions and so each day had its programs, until Friday when, the great 'parade took place. At every reunion thc question is discussed whether or noi the qld veterans should bo oompellet to parade, and it invariably results ir a parade, tho minority standing witl the onlooking populace on the side walks and tho majority being in lim in the middle of the street. In fact many of the old boys would not at tend a reunion if the parade was don away with.

I "Eternal truth, though all else fail, Can never be made wrong." "Cheerful and meroiful in victory, hopeful .even in defeat, they rode to death dauntlessly and won many a field. Equalled by some, surpassed by none." < "The cavalryman's life was one of constant danger, sleepless vigil, un ending fatigue, and ceaseless aotivity. He did not flood the soil with offerings of his blood on the great battle fieldB of the war, but day by day and night by night, in the skirmish, in the pick et charge,' in the wild dash and on tho long raid he hourly laid down his all a sacrifice for the common oause, and when, at the end of the war, he oalled the roll and the troopers rode out for review, , the shattered ranks, the star which betokened death, sbowedja mor tality none the less dreadful than among the men who walked in their marobee and who, on great occasions, made great sacrifices at war's demand."
