NEWS OF THE WF, EK.
Macon, March 4, 1804.
Notes on the Times.
The -warm, dry weather which has contin
ued for nearly six weeks, led the Yankees to
an early opening of the Spring Campaign.
They were sure that our ranks were thin, the
men half starved, ragged and ready to desert
or run at the first intimation of battle. They
began their work at two points where they im
agined us least prepared to meet them, hoping
by bold and sudden movements to gain impor
tant advantages, to establish new bases of op
erations, and to increase the despondency of
the people of the South. Sherman starts with
a large force from Vicksburg, and marches
straight across Mississippi without serious
check. At the extreme eastern border he sud
denly halts, and dow we find him in full re
treat. The heavy cavalry force which was to
have come down through North Mississippi to
join him have been met by Gens. Forrest and
Lee, have been defeated and routed. Grier
son, the Yankee who made such a grand raid
through the whole length of the State last
year, lias been thoroughly thrashed and, hv
this time, driven beyond its northern border.
At Okalona he, with a force of G,OOO was whip
ped by Forrest with one third the number.—
Ilere Gen. Golilson, with seven or eight hun
dred State troops commenced pursuit, and, at
last accounts, had driven the enemy beyond
Pont itoc. Sherman with his entire army is
moving towards Vicksburg. His advance are
said to have crossed Pearl River already. So
far he has accomplished nothing worthy of the
means which he is reported to have at his
command. He lias, undoubtedly, sustained
heavy losses.
From the direct attack upon Mobile com
menced two weeks ago, by Farragut, commen
ced at Fort Powell, we have heard very little
within the last few days. It is stated that osi
Tuesday the 23d inst., an attack was made
upon Banks’ forces at Grant’s Pass by our in
fantry, supported by our gunboats, in which
the enemy were routed. But we have seen no
official announcement of such a battle, and,
therefore, regard it as mere rumor. At pres
ent wo entertain but very little fear of Banks
or Sherman so far as their attempts on Mobile
are concerned.
Believing that Sherman’s grand raid had
frightened the Contederate Generals out of
their wits, and under the impression that
Gen. Johnston had weakened his army to re
inforce ‘ Gea. Poik, Thomas advances upon
Dalton. A three days’ experience.has sadlv
disappointed them. On the 25th instant, they
advanced in force upon our lines, and were re
pulsed at every point. Our army was anxious
for a general engagement, but oif the 26 th the
enemy took .the back track for Chattanooga,
concluding the prospect before them was not
so promising. Our loss is reported slight,
while that of the enemy is known to be com
paratively heavy. It is not improbable that
the approach of Gen. Longstrcet upon their
rear and left flank had something to do with
their retrograde movement. It was said, sev
eral days’ago, that lie passed Knoxville, com
ing in the direction of Loudon. His purpose
may have been to watch Fuster, and prevent
his junction with Thomas. It is hardly prob
able that he will yet relinquish his hold upon
East Tennessee. The expectations of the Yan
kees in their movement on Dalton have, we
doubt not, been greatly disappointed. There
was a stronger force and more fight in their
front than they bargained for.
From Western Virginia, we have informa
tion that Gen. Sam. Jones has made another
capture of 250 prisoners and upwards of 40
wagons. I his officer has done good service
in his department, and must have taken not
less than 2,000 prisoners within the last three
months.
From Eastern Virginia and North Carolina
we have nothing of special interest.
The .enemy continues to throw his usual al
lowance'of shells into Charleston with the us
ual results. It is considered that -the geio-e
lias been virtually raised.
From Florida we have the gratifying news
of a decided victory at Ocean Pond. Gen Fin
negan was the officer in command of the Con
federate forces. Brig. Gen. Alfred Colquitt,
of Ga. 4 is-saiJ to have been in immediate com
mand of the field, and to have had control of
the disposition of the troops. The enemy's
loss is estimated at 3,000 in killed, wounded
and prisoners; ours about -000. They were
about 10,000 strong, having with them a con
siderable number of negro troops. These were
put in front, and with bayonets and threats of
death from their white comrades in their rear,
and bayonets and outraged masters in their
front, fared bauly. A great many of them
were killed. Wo understand that but few
prisoners were taken in this battle. Where
negro troops have to be met, the fewer cap
tured the better, anu we are not sure but that
the same rule would work as well with white,
as with black Yankees. This Florida expe
dition was, no doubt, meant to ease off the
failure at Charleston. But its disastrous ter
mination has only covered them with the more
shame. £•
The early opening of the spring campaign
is auspicious for our cau'e. We did not an
tieipate it until May. The enemy hoped to
take advantage of.our supposed want of readi
ness, and to press upon us with their veteran
troops before their time expired. The result
has demonstrated that our government and
”commanders have been acting with vigor du
ring the winter months, and that notwith
standing the hardships of the winter, onr brave
soldiers are as eager for the fray as they ever
were. Such spirit manifested by them even
before the recent military bill has had time
to fill their ranks, should silence the croaker,
strengthen the weakened, and revive the des
ponding. The first of May will find us stron
ger and- the enemy weaker. They will be
weaker because of the number of now levies
brought into the field, and because the negro
element in their armies is being largely in
creased. The effect of recent events will be
to inspire the people of the Confederacy with
fresh confidence, and to depress the Yankees
in a corresponding degree.
On the Rapidan, at Newbern, at Charles
ton, in Florida, in Mississippi, and, finally,
at Daltcn the enemy have been defeated and
driven back, and have failed in all their at
tacks and plans. At a time when we were
trembling and distrustful God has blessed us
and strengthened our hopes. He has led us
by a path that we knew not of. His strength
has been made perfect in our weakness. Let
these manifestations of Ilis goodness and mer
cy rebuke our want'of faith and cause us to
put our trust sci Him. “His ways are not as
our ways.” When our desires are not accom
plished precisely in the manner wo expect,
and by the means we employ, let no more
murmurs arise, *buklet us wait patiently. If
we commit our ways unto Him, He will bring
it to pass. “O, praise the Lord, all ye people:
for His merciful kindness is great toward us.”
Praise Him for the past, and trust Him for
the future.

Richmond Correspondence of the
Index. *
Richmond, Feb. 19th, 18G4.
Rev. T. G. Keen and the oath—Rev. J. R.
Kendrick—A new Agent—Rev. J. B. Hard
wick—l)r. Burrows—Army & Navy Mes
senger. •
Rev. T. G. Keen took wing, last week, with
his family, from Petersburg, Va., for Hop
kinsville, Ky. The route he choose lay due
Southward to Norfolk, where, lie hoped, the
Federal commandant wdttfd authorize him to
proceed, by the usual public line of travel, to
his Western home. Ho goes, I believe, to take
charge of a Baptist church and a Female Sem
inary ; his wife being as eminently adapted to
the latter as he is himself to the former. No
tidings (a word by the way,-which Dr. George
Campbell, in his translation of the Gospels,
construes as singular, not plural,) have been
received from him since he passed within the
lines of the enemy. W kether he will be. suf
fered to reach Kentucky without taking the
oath of allegiance to the United States, time
must show. It is understood that he will take
it on compulsion, rather than surrender the
hope of returning to Hopkinsville, which ivas
the scene of his earlier ministerial labors, and
where many old friends remain to welcome
his coming. I will not assume to decide whoth
er this course involves a compromise of prin
ciple ; and content myself with saying (hat,
for one, I could hot voluntarily place myself
under the yoke of such a necessity.
The general impression here is, that the
First Baptist church, Petersburg, will invite
Rev. E. T. Winkler, I). D., of Charleston, S.
C.,to occupy the pulpit left vacant by the re
moval of Rev. Mr. Keen. The choice would
he highly gratifying to the denomination in
this State; and I hope that the call, (which, if
not already extended, is simply a question of
time.) wiirhot be so unfortunate as to encoun
ter denial.
The former fellow laborer of Dr. Winkler
in Charleston, Rev. J. R. Kendrick, D. D., has
been invited to thanastorlite of the Second
Baptist church in this city. It would he a
pleasant thing, I doubt not, for these breth
ren, to find homes in such proximity, after the
separation forced on them by the breaking up
of society in their common sphere of labor.—
They are neighbors, who have but twenty miles
of railroad between them !
Rev. Wm. E. Hatcher, of Manchester, per
haps the most successful of our younger pas
ters in Virginia, will act, I learn, for six
months from the opening of Spring, as Agent
of the Sunday School Board of the Southern
Baptist Convention. If the Board selects all
its agents with equal judgment, never was
there a body more fitly entrusted with the
management of a Christian enterprise.
Rev. J. B. Ilaidwick, who has acted for sev
eral years as Post Chaplain in the hospitals at
Petersburg, has obtained a transfer to the hos
pitals at Fayetteville, N. C. I hope that his
removal beyond the limits the State, is only
for a season. He is a vigorous thinker and a
diligent worker—a class of men of whom Ave
have no over-supply.
Rev. Dr. Burrows delivered a lecture, last
night, before the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation of Richmond. His theme was, “The
Christian Scholar and Soldier,” a sketch of
the life and a delineation of the character of
LeAvis Menor Coleman. Mr. Coleman avsis a
graduate of the University of Virginia at the
early age of nineteen, and a professor in that
institution at the (comparatively earlier) age
of thirty-four. Fired with zeal for Southern
rights, he surrendered that distinguished po
sition for the military service of the country,
and Avon his way upAvard by force of ebar..c
ter to the rank of Lieut. Col. His untimely
death, from a wound received at the battle of
Fredericksburg in Dec., 18Q3, was the only
thing that could have arrested liis promotion
to still higher positions. Oh, (f all our offi
cers would but make him their model, in
prompt and untiring attention to the physical
and religious welfaro of their commands, how
would the chief darknesses that cloud the con
dition and prospects of the army—l may say,
of the country also, be lighted up ! The lec
ture was more than an hour and a half in
length, but held the audience deeply interes
ted to the last. And the audience was sur
prisingly large for the night— odc colder than
we have in. this climate sometimes for several
years.
Do you receive the “Army and Navy Mes
senger,” published by the Evangelical Tract
Society ? Have you noticed the very long list
ofColporters, which appears in each issue?
Is not that list adapted to create the impres
sion, on tho general minds that these colpor
ters are men .who hold a commission and re
ceive a compensation from the Society? Dco3
it not operate, therefore, as aa appeal for con
tributions to the Society’s funds, on the pre
sumption of the heavy expense incurred in
keeping, so large a body of employees at work?
And is this fair and just, Avlien the truth it,
th:# there is neither commissionmor compen
sation in the case of many, perhaps the great
er number; of these colp’ovters?
The extreme severity of. the weather here
just now, has hardly.been paralleled for twen
ty years, in the month of February. It caught
maDyofour poor at unawares, and must occa
sion no little suffering in camps. As it is the
rule that every things contracts under the in
fluence of cold, (“for which reason,” said a
juvenile philosopher, “the days are shorter in
winter than in summer,”) you will doubtless
excuse me for bringering an uninteresting
letter to a close at this point. SEMEI. .

Mr- Dear Bf.etmren:
I am now in the field as your missionary.—
I thank you for the confidence thus reposed
in me through your Executive Committee.—
The position in which you have placed me
a very responsible one. But by the help of
God and your prayers I will do the very best
I Gan. I did not enter the field until the 19th
of January, 1864. I was prevented irom do
ing so soouer partly by indisposition, but, for
the most part, by the difficulty of winding up
my business in Griffin, and moving my fami
ly to Alabama. I had expected, too, to goto
the front—to Johnson’s army, but, being for
some time very much indisposed, and after
consulting with some of your committee I
thought it would ho too great a risk to go to
the front at this season of the year and hence
I determined to labor for the present upon our’
Coast. In accordance with this conclusion I
went to Savannah on the 19th ultimo. I fiyst
visited the State troops. Having several able
ministers of their own I left them in search of
some more destitute of the means of grace. I
next visited Thunderbolt, five miles below Sa
vannah. They have had but little preaching,
but, having just obtained a chaplain, I left
them without preaching. I then caaio back
to the city and found the Ist and 57th Geor
gia Regts. encamped near the city and with
out any chaplain and but little preaching
among them. A Fla. Batt. was also encamp
ed near them. They had a chaplain, but his
health being very delicate, they had but lit
tle preaching. I made arrangements for two
services on the coming Sabbath and then di
rected my attention to the hospitals. I found
but few laboring in the hospitals. Hero is a
wide and a promising field for usefulness.—
They converse freely on the subject of relig.
ion, and gladly receive papers or tracts—in
deed anything to read.
Sabbath morning I preached for the Ist Ga.
Reg. Hero the congregation Avas small, but
theygaA'e respectful and serious attention. In
the afternoon I preached to the 57th Ga. and
the Florida Bat. I had a large congregation,
and many seen J deeply interested intheser
vico. I oxpocjU-.I to In. ve continued my labors
in and around Savannah until the opening of
spring; but brother E. Jewell of Eatonton,
came there to spend a few days in voluntary
■ labor among the soldiers and then to do the
same in and around Charleston. He asked me
to accompany him to the later place. After
consulting brother Landrum, and knowing
that the expense of the trip Avould be my own,
I concluded to do so, and thus to see the con
dition of things and the prospects of- useful
ness here. We came to Charleston on 29th
ultimo., and to James Island on the 30th,
wheie I have been ever since. lam now sat
isfied'that God directed me to this point. Col
quitt’s Brigade, consisting of the Gth, 19th,,
23d, 27th and 28th Ga. regts, are on the Is
land. We found a most interesting meeting
in progress. We Avere welcomed as co-labor
ers and immediately commenced preaching,
and have continued ever since. Oh ! lioav re
freshing to my soul to witness -such scenes as
here occur tvviee every day ! The congrega,-
tious are very large, afid a more attentive, in
terested one I never saw. No matter Low
long the services may be ‘every thing is still
and respectful until tly; close. Hundreds some
times rush to the altar for prayer inquiring
•what they must do to bo saved. The meeting
to increase in interest until the Bth
inst., when an order came for the Brigade to
leave on the 9th for Savannah. The 6tli and
19t’n left,and while the others were awaiting
transportation the was revoked and the
other three will remain for the present. Still
the effect upon the meeting is very manifest.
Up to this writing about 90 have joined the
several denominations. All the troops on the
Island have chaplains, except, perhaps, one
regimen t from S.C. There is not a single Bap
tist among than ! This determined me to la
bor awhile here. I shall visit ail the troops
around Charleston before I leave. I never re.
coived a more hearty welcome, nor was treated
more kindly than I have been here. Gen. Col
quitt, you know, is a member of the Metho
dist church. lie promotes religion allliocan.
As an evidence of this and of what such offi
cers can and ought to do I must relate the fol
lowing incident. On last Sabbath morning I
was preachipg to the 19th and 28th combined.
All the Generals on the Island, viz : Colquitt,
Ilaygood add Taliaferro being present. In the
mtdst of the service a soldier from the 28th
drove a wagon with four mules through the
congregation. Many had to get up and he
drove within a few feet of where’ I was stand
ir.g. All saw that the whole force and powir
of the sermon was lost. Colquitt commanded
the Col. of this 28th to revoke the man's de
tail and order him back to his company. The
influence of this must be great in favor of re
ligion, and if all the officers would do likewise
religious service would bo no more disturbed
tn the army. So far as I can now judge I
must say that the army of the Confederate
States now presents the greatest and most in
teresting field for usefulness ever presented to
the ministers of Jesus Christ. Many officers
of high rank,though not professors themselves,
hold ou4 every inducement to ministers to vis- j
it and preach for their men. Among these I
must mention the names of Col. Lofton, Col.
of the Gth and Col. Neal, Col. of the 19tli Ga.
Regiments. I spent most of my time at the
head-quarters of these gentlemen. They show
ed me every kindness, and afforded every fa
cility for religious services in their respective
commands. I could, and do wish, dear breth
ren, that you had a more able and efficient
man in the field as your missionary, but still ;
you should be abundantly encouraged. If :
God bless our efforts they will not be in vain I
in the Lord.
Before closing this long letter I must say
a word about, our soldiers here. They are
well clothed and shod, and, although rations
are sometimes a little short, there is not a sin
gle word pf complaint. They are contented
and cheerful in the discharge of every duty
hoAvever severe. As regards onr prospects as
a nation they are hopeful. There are no
croakers here. Oh! I wish that all of cur
people at home who are so discouraged and
: always complaining about every thing, could
live among the soldiers awhile to learn a les
son !
And, dear brethren, pray for your mission
ary—pray in private, at the family altar, and
in your public assemblages—when and wher
ever you approach a thione of grace pray for
your missionary. ?ray that he may be an
humble, faithful and an efficient missionary,
and that God would abundantly bless his la
bors among the dear soldiers of our Confed
eracy.
I remain very affectionately,
yours, dear brethren,
*A. VAN IIOOSE.’

Jonesville, Feb. 2d. 18G4.
Bro. Boykin — l have been thinking for
some time I would write to let you know the
condition of things in this part of the country.
But as do many others, so do I —put oft - , put
off. The last number of your paper lias just
come to hand, however, and the notice of a
single fact in it determined me to delay no
longer.
First, then, as of most importance, as to
the stato of religion. While I have no special
“season of refreshing from tho presence of the
Lord” to mention, I am happy to state that the
Saviour visits His plantation. At North .New
port church, distant about six miles, I have,
within the past seven months, buried in bap
tism twenty-four converts to Christianity. Os
these all were colored but one. 1 hear that
several others will apply for reception at our
next meeting. The churches is much weak
ened by the removal .of many of the colored
members. Fear of their going to tho enemy
has led numbers of planters to take them from
the sea-board. Four companies of Col. Mil
ieu’s battalion aro stationed about a mile from
the church. Some of tho soldiers attend each
Sabbath. I visited them oil Saturday last.—
I arrived after dark, and was most cordially
received by Capt. TANARUS., himself a Baptist. It
is his custom to have prayers for the soldiers
just after roll-call each night. At his request
I conducted the services. On the day follow
ing preaching was held out of doors. The
ground was the rostrum, and a table the desk.
At the conclusion of tho services all crowded
to get the tracts which some friend had sent
for distribution. ‘God bless them to their spir
itual good !
Os South Newport Baptist church I have
only to suy that although a good state of feel
ing has existed there for some time, no con
versions have taken place. Protracted servi
ces were held there some time since by sever
al Methodist ministers. A number of soldiers
were considerably affected, hut I heard of on.
ly one whose name was forwarded for a place
on the probation list.
Hoping that the Lord may bless your la
bors for the good of his cause, I remain
