A Rebel 1’bayeh.—Immediately after the first day’s fight nt Gettys burg, when the Union forces were driven from Seminary Ridge, the seminary building aud the professors’ houses were occupied as hospitals, and hospital tents were pitched bo- tween them. Tlie wonnded of both armies were promiscuously crowded in tlie halls aud cltiiiubent, hut all seemed grateful thut such airy and comfortable quarters had fallen to their lot. To tho praise id" tlie Southern invaders it must be said that tlnty resiHxitod the libraries of troth the Scmiunry and College, and, whilst greatly pressed for room, they did not appropriate tlie library halls fur hospital putiKXM'x. further than to use them as medical offices. They seemed to be greatly its need of blauk imper, and evidently considered aU needlessly wide margins as eoutni- hand of war. Partially filled blank books were tow fu I'prises; and some of these, now filled with copies of per script ions, give unmistakable proof of the heroic treatment of many u poor fellow, whose imins |M-riiu|M could uot otherwise have been ultovi- mcd. Such doses of opium ! List summer, whilst the librarian of the seminary aud Ills assistants were clearing out the duplicate books aud pamphlets, they came across a copy of the minutes of the General Myuod, of 1859, ttpon the- cover of which was written the following prayer: “ilkI this horrible war—it has saddened the hearts of so many, both ill the V. 8.
