Look Out for the h Mark.
When you see the M mark on your
paper, you may then know your sub
scription is about to expire, and if you
want it continued, you must send more
money.
“Leroy Cauvosso, son of Rev.
Dow Perry, was born in Macon Go.,
Ala., March 28tli, 1845, iD 1S63 uni
ted with his brothers in Co. G., 45th
Reg’t Ala. Vols , and was killed in
stantly, July 22nd, 1864, near Atlan
ta, Ga.
Ho had joined the M. E. Church
in Mississippi, and his walk was ex
emplary. That he had not failed to
mind the things of the spirit, is evi
dent from a conversation be had with
his brother, in the morning before
the battle. He said, ‘if I am killed
today, it is all right with me, for heav
en or earth : for I am at peace with
God, and man, so far as I am indi
vidually concerned.’ How keenly
do his parents, now passing down
life’s declivity, feel the loss of their
noble Leroy ; but thank God, they
take comfort in the scriptures of eter
nal truth, and believe that he i^ at

administration, we are to stand, or
fall. And he who wilfully, wantonly,
and constantly throws obstacles in
the way of that success, is, to all in
tents and purposes, as much our ene
my as Abraham Lincoln himself.
And not only so—he who bends all
his energies to a denunciation of the
confederate administration, now, un
der pretence that the administration
is a very different thing from the gov-
erment, will as certainly take an open
and unequivocal stand, in favor of
Lincoln, finally, as Baylor did, or as
the sun shines in the heavens.’—Con«

The Angel in the Way.
“Behold I will send an angel before thee, to
keep thee in the way.”—Ex. 23 : 20.
The New Year’s sun shines coldly bright
On frost-crowned hill-tops, far away
Before me stretch long untried paths—
Send me, O God, ‘ an angel in tho way !’
My feet are weary with life’s march.
And oft they falter, halt, or go astray,
Uncertain where the pathway leads:
Place now, O God, thine ‘angel in the way!’
The palest gleaming of his robe,
Shall rob my heart of doubt, and dark dismay,
The faintest flutter of his wing,
Shall show to me thine ‘angel in the way!’
And I will fellow on, nor tire, nor faint,
Until I reach the shores of endless day,
And, ’mid the shining ranks above,
Need never more thine ‘ angel in the way i’

“The Richmond correspondent of
the Montgomery Advertiser says :
‘It is rumored, and believed that Gen.
Dick Taylor has been assigned to the
command of the army of Tennessee,,
vice Gen. Hood. Congress is ham
mering away at conscription, exemp
tion. and currency bills ; whistling to
keep their spirits up. Gen. Lee has
written a letter to Miles, chairman of
the military committee of the house,
in which lie urges tho immediate en
rollment of a large number* of able-
bodied negro men, as soldiers in the
army. He says the hour has arrived
when it must be done. This is true.
Tho matter is gaining favor with con
gress largely.’ ’’
Perfectly True.—The Editor
of The Countryman, a most excellent,
and remarkably plain-spoken weekly
paper, published by J. A. Turner, at
his plantation of ‘Turnwold/ near
Eatonton, Ga., in a recent editorial
article, says : ‘Whatever might be
the case, in ordinary peace times,
tliero is no difference now, between a
constant, systematic opposition to all
the measures of the administration,
without ever finding anything to com
mend, and opposition to the govern
ment itself. By the success of our
