[For The Baptist Bunn r.J Facts Concerning Army Colportage- 1. The literature Is strictly evangelical.— "It consists of Testaments, Hymn books, styled “ Hymns for the Camp,” and Tracts. The Tracts have been written by distin guished ministers of different denomina tions, especially for circulation in the camps and hospitals. They have been writ- x ten as appeals to the hearts and consciences of the unconverted, or as spiritual food for the nourishment and comfort of the saints. They are freed from sectarianism. 2. Il is a work that is greatly needed. — More than one half of all our regiments are destitute of chaplains, and in many in stances not one third of our men are sup plied with the word of God. A great spir itual destitution prevails. Can we expect our soldiers to be moral and religious when they are cut off from all religious instruc tion ? 3. The work is commended by Officers ■x and Statesmen. Gen. R. E. Lee, in writing to Rev. A. Dickinson, said : “ I regret not having I been able to see you at the various points I you have visited in your Christian mission, 1 and therefore take this method of contribu- • ting. The virtue and fidelity which should characterize a soldier can only be learned from the holy pages of the Bible.” Jno. S. Preston: “I send you a small sum in aid of the pious work to which you ) I have so worthily devoted yourself —that of carrying to the soldiers the highest instruc tion and consolation. My observation of i the army is, that the bfetter the man the better the soldier; and Igo a step further in our sacred cause —the better the Chris tian, the better the soldier. We are now fighting not only for political and civil lib erty, but for existence, and, as 1 solemnly believe, for the purity of our religion in separating ourselves from the debauching influence of alliance with a people half in fidel, half fanatic.” Gen. T. J. Jackson : “ 1 wish, instead of two, you had a dozen colporters in my ar my, and I am ready to do anything I can to aid you in so good a work.” « Wm. 11. Gist: “The soldiers are not only exposed to the bullets and steel of the enemy, but to the contaminating influence of camp life, and should, therefore, be fur - nished with the word of God and the wri tings of pious men, that their leisure hours may be spent in useful reading, rather than frivolous conversation, or, what is infinitely worse, illness and dissipation.” 4. The wotk, as a general thing, is high /ly appreciated by the soldiers. There is a strong desire among the soldiers to secure something to read, and many of them are more susceptible of religious instruction now than before they entered service. We will refer to the case of a young man, which will serve as an illustration of thousands of similar instances. A col porter came to one young man lying upon his couch, reading a new Bible. Said he to him, “Sir, I per ceive you have a good companion.” “1 sup ! pose so, sir,” said the sick soldier, while tears gathered in his eyes ; “ but to confess to you the truth, I have always neglected to read the scriptures. But since I entered the army i nd have been sick—nigh unto death —1 then promised the Lord that if he would in his mercy raise me from my af flictions, I would live a different life. lam now recovering, and from that resolution I do not intend to swerve. A gentleman came in here with some Bibles, and I ob tained one, and now intend to read it.” 5. The hospital, as well as the camp, as fords a most inviting field for religious ef forts. It is a place well calculated to pro duce serious reflection. The once strong and manly soldier, weakened by disease and unable longer to stand in the. ranks of his comrades, far away from home and triends, spends hour after hour in commu uing with his own heart. In this condition his mind is in a proper frame for religious instruction. And since the qpinmencement : of the present war, many, very many, of our brave defenders have been the inmates , of a hospital—not less, perhaps, from first to last, than one hundred and fifty thousand. It is while in the loneliness and gloom of of the hospital that the sick soldier needs the words of instruction and consolation. “ O, how cheering to a poor sick soldier is a kind word,” said an inmate of one of our 1 hospitals to a pious eolporter, who had (list . paid him a visit. I 6. The enterprise needs the most libera! i support, 'fhe magnitude of this war is un- « equaled by any war of modern times, llowlt very large the proportion of the male pop I illation now in service. To»meet and sup-' I ply the moral wants of this vast army will t require a united and liberal effort. •Hun- < dredS of thousands of Testaments and ( llyiuii Books, and millions of pages ofh Tracts, are now needed. To print and cir- 1 i eulale them will require a large amount of t funds. j i 7. It is a work that should commend it t self to every Christian and patriot. To t patriots, because every Tract, every Testa- f ment, every prayer-meeting, and every n word of religious instruction, which by this t means is carried to the soldier, will aid in \ making us a free and happy people. And v then, as soon as peace comes, this govern- (j ment. in all its departments, will go into 1 1 the hands of those who now fight our bat 1 ties. They will till every place of honor l and influence from the Presidential chair down. If. therefore, our soldiers comeback from the war with their morals wrecked, then wo will have fought this war in vain.' Because forcibly true are the words of Gen. George Washington in his “ Farewell Ad dress,” “Os all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensible supporters. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men . and citizens.” -To Christians, because each soul is of infinite value, and it is alone by the means of salvation that we can expect 1 H S ® AS? 1B . HAMI MM ® them to be turned from “ darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.” For that transcendant object Christians should be willing to give with a generous and a liberal heart. 8. The work is extensive in its opera tions, and is accomplishing great good. It has been the policy of the Board to estab lish depositories in the most important towns and cities throughout the Southern Confederacy, and as far as possible to sup ply the camps and hospitals with religious instruction. Since the commencement of the war, over forty thousand dollars have been collected for this object, with which thousands of Testaments and Hymn Bqoks, and over fifteen millions of pages of Tracts, have been distributed. At present over one hundred persons are engaged in this good work, and most ei«couraging have been the results of their labors. Peace and joy have been carried to the hearts cf Christians scattered throughout the army, and many, who were without hope and without God, have professed faith in a cru- I cified Redeemer. VV; Huff, General Agent of Army Colportage. Colporteurs' Report*. Acworth, Ga., Dec. 14, 1862. Brother Hornady, Agent Colportage: For the last two and a half months, my labors have been confined to Dalton and Ringgold, with the exception of a few days I spent on a visit to Summerville, Ga. I feel that my services have been blessed. 1 have not held many public meetings for the convalescent soldiers, from the fact that I have* not had a comfortable place of meet ing ; the most of my time has been spent in conversing with them privately. The surgeons do not object to our talking with the sick privately, but some of them object to having public worship in the hospitals, saying it is calculated to excite the very sick. I have not collected anything more for colportage. I have preached eight times, and held several prayer-meetings. I do not J< now how much religious reading I have distributed. I have distributed a great many tracts. Dear brother, this closes my labors for , the society as a colporteur, having been ( called to a new field. May Heaven’s rich est blessings rest upon the work of colport age ; it is a glorious work, and should be sustained at all hazards. If I can raise any money, where I labor, for the work, 1 will do so. May God bless you, my dear brother. Yours in Christ, V. A. Bell. Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 3, 1862. During the past month I have remained at this place, visting the different hospitals (five in number) a portion of my time, and travelled up and down the railroads, visit ing different encampments, and laboring to the best of my ability amongst the soldiers [ both sick and well. I have distributed amongst them about 30,000 pages of tracts, 30 copies of “The Bible vs. Atheism,” 75 Hymn Books, 150 Soldiers’ Text-books, and 150 pocket Bibles. The poor soldiers received them with great eagerness, and were enthusiastic in expressions of thankful ness. There is much more morality and ■ religion in the army than I expected. The surgeons, officers and soldiers treat me with the most marked courtesy everywhere.— i 'fhe soldiers ask for Testaments, many having lost theirs. Yours, in the Lord, J. M. Putnam. ‘ Colportage.

In the struggle in which as a people we are engaged, there is daily appearing upon the surface of the waters of strife much to encourage and much to depress the heart. For our encouragement, we witness on the one hand great unity of sentiment as respects the righteousness of our cause', and i our ability to withstand the rage of our, enemies. Strong determination to meet', and overcome all difficulties in the way of;’ recovering the birth right we have inherited from our fathers. Patient endurance in the , face of the most extraordinary hardships 1 and dangers. And the most implicit coyfi- J deuce in Him who holds in Ills hand our,, destiny as a nation. i On the other hand, we are pained to see ‘ how little of sympathy is felt for us by na i tions whose interests should incline them to i our side, and with Vhat stolid indifference ‘ they witness a struggle that is not only del , uging one of the fairest portions of this 1 world in blood, but is also bringing misery ‘ and ruin to their own doors. We are j moreover distressed to behold the multi i tude of foreigners who have claimed ex ; emption by their birth, and like swarms of flies are fattening upon the blood and tears > and groans of our suffering and dying conn * trymen. We are equally distressed at the 1 wickedness of some of cur own people, whose age relieves them from the hardships', and dangers of the battle fields, but has not, < however, abated their lust for gain, which 1 they are acquiring by the most ugly means j that it is possible for men to become rich. < And more than all, we are pained at the distress ot Zion—her churches demolished —her altars destroyed—her children scat tered, and her ministers wandering from place to place, seeking their flocks, and weeping with those thev cannot comfort. \ iewing the war from these stand points, we say there is much to encourage and much to distress us. Yet. on the whole, the ground ot our enWh’ragement is strong er than that ot our distress. \\ e doubt not but that all we sutler will be sanctified jto us, and that ultimately God w ill bring its out of all our troubles', and in the estab lishment of peace make us a people to be 1 both feared and honored.

This is certainly a terrible law for the Georgia Legislature to enact. And it seems a dreadful thing for Christian jour nalists to sanction such legislation. And yet, who can condemn what may be need ful for self-preservation? If any citizen of the United States shall be found in our country after that day, will not the very fact prove that he is an emissary of the darkest designs? If the Confederate States enact such laws and publish them abroad, will not every citizen of the country, that lis at war with us, be fairly warned ? And if, in spite of this warning, any of them ap pear amongst us, whether armed or in disguise, will it not be made certain that he cornea to incite to the foulest crimes? — Christian men, as we profess to be, we are not able to censure, but must approve the proposition.

SALLIE I A MODEL SOLDIER HAS FALLEN. BY W. M. CHAUDOIN. The writer is fully sensible of the significance > of the above caption. The expression is strong, , and requires much to justify the use of it, in such a connection, in reference to any man.— Not of a brave man merely may the sentiment be used, nor of a faithful or Christian soldier, lor no one of these qualifications entitle one to be called a model soldier. Witli the possession of any of the above traits—tho’ good in them selves—there may be sad defects. But the man who, in his relations as a soldier, is brave, faith ful, consistent and Christian, is entitled to be called a model, if not the model, soldier. And such a soldier was Deacon G. B. Barksdale, who was killed in a skirmish near Burketsville, Maryland, Sept. 13,1862. A brief statement of a biographical nature is proper at this point. The subject of our sketch was born in Han cock county, Ga., January 15, 1814. In the 19th year of his age, (in 1833,) he made a public pro fession of religion, and was baptized by Eld. J. Barnes, in the fellowship of Bethel Church, in Hancock county. Such was his Christian life, that in 1847 he was selected by the church in Warrenton, Ga., to serve as Deacon, to which office he was ordained by Rev. W. J. Harley, and in that capacity served his brethren the re maindcr of his life. In 1839 he was happily married to Miss Celia Connel,*who was to him “ a help-meet,” truly, with whom he lived so happily as to realize that “ it’s not good for man to be alone.” As a man, Deacon Barksdale was honorable, industrious, kind—in a word, he was emphati cally a high toned gentleman. But the man was so much blended in the Christian, that to speak of the two .characters, in their several relations, separately, would require too much repetition. Os brother Barksdale as the Christian soldier we shall speak, but not of his faults. Let them lie beneath the veil of oblivion, except they be re membered only to be avoided. But of his vir tues, which so brightly shined above his faults, we would speak—speak to every soldier, had we the power, in the Confederate service. Brother Barksdale had, in beautiful harmony in his nature, a true Christian humility, with a high self respect and personal independence.— He knew his place, his powers, and presumed not to be more than he was, nor arrogantly as pired to what he was not entitled to. Nor would he suffer himself imposed upon by such as did so act. As a church-member, he “in hon or prefAi red his brethren.” The church, since apostolic times, has had few such specimens of benevolence and liberality. The writer, as his pastor, does not hesitate to say his church is a liberal one, but Deacon jj. was its most liberal male member. He had i nothing of covetousness in his nature, nor even a desire to accumulate, for all his surplus was given away. He strove for no more than a mere competency, with a surplus to use in doing good. 1 He realized the Bible truth, “ It is more blessed to give than to receive.” He received and act ed upon the principle that “he was not his own,” and regarding every demand made upon him for benevolent or missionary purposes, as a draft upon him from his Heavenly Father, he dared not dishonor it or refuse to respond. The month before he was killed, while at home, suf fering from a wound received before Richmond, he made his last missionary contribution. But perhaps no more need be said, than to sum up all in one sentence: Deacon Barksdale was a consistent man and Christian. This desi rable, commendable, jewel of a trail, character ized him in all his relations. Perhaps it actua ted him in joining the service partly, for he was often heard to deplore the inconsistency of cer tain rabid secessionists, whose ardor cooled so rapidly when the war commenced. A sense of consistency did actuate him in entering the ser vice so soon, though not subject to militaiy du ty at all; for he said he could, much more con sistently than men who had large families of children, go in his country’s defence* The same beautiful trait that had adorned him as a man, a church-member and a Chris- ' tian, was not less remarkable in him as a sol- , dier. Officers, privates, messmates, all testify that “Uncle Green” (as he was lamiliary called) loved his Bible, the songs of Zion, the prayer meetings, and the preaching of the Word, in camps, as well as at home. A high compliment was paid to his memory, as a Christian soldier, by his Major, Hon. B. C. Yancey, of Atlanta, during the last session of Bethel Association, at Pine Bluff Church, of which the deceased was i a member, where he was so well known that every one thought it well deserved. Since his death, Col. D. A. Vason, of Albany, Ga., who had an opportunity of witnessing his conduct in camp, before leaving for Virginia, said to the writer, “ I thought, when I saw him in camps at Albany, that he was the best soldier I ever saw, and I' link so yet.” He believed in the i sovereignty of God, and that He was with him everywhere. He trusted in the merits of a cru cified and risen Saviour for the pardon of his sins, which gave him intercourse with the Su preme Being. Believing thus, he was not terri fied by any forebodings of the future when call ed into an engagement, or when exposed to danger. His captain, J. G. Wright, of the Dougherty Hussars, Jsays “ his place can never be filled in his company.” Trusting in his God, always sober, cool, and self-possessed, knowing naught of fear, lie could be depended on al ways. When wounded before Richmond in cliarging a battery, he was knocked senseless by the explosion of a shell, and was left for dead, but, after a lapse of some two or three hours, awoke, took up some of his arms, &c., and started off' in full view ol the enemy—not . before the reflection, however, that God was ! there, and that they could not kill him unless i God allowed it. Sure enough, his time had not fully come, for as he walked some hundred yards while exposed, volleys of balls whistled | ■ round him, but could not touch him. He then | I returned home, enjoyed fora few days the soei ! ety of his devoted wife, and a revival of religion ‘ in his church, prayed with and for us, sung with us, and asked often an interest in the prayers of his church. He never prayed, though asked us to pray, that his life be spared, but only that h’;; conduct be Christian like, and he prepared to ; meet his end. There is a sort of solemn signifi- i cance in this, added to another simple fact. — His wife told him, on and before his departure, i she would never see him any more, saying, “No- 1 ah’s dove went out twice and returned, but the ! third time never came back; and when you , leave the third time, I’ll never see you again.” ' In the providence of God, it was prophecy. He j (joined his.company just in time to take part in | the skirmish in which he fell, while charging a i i superior.force of cavalry. He fell in advance I of all his comrades, and perhaps his coinman- ( der, a ball penetrating his head, giving time on ly to fall and stretch his manly form out upon his back, which it is said he did, still grasping his sabre, turning the point to his shoulder as if on dress parade. Noble specimen of a Christian soldier! we i weep for thee. Thy manly form, according to i thine own request, sleeps where it fell, with a . soldier's burial, (the best that devoted comrades , could give,) in a soldier’s grave. In the family wc miss thee; in the vicinity we miss thee; in • the sanctuary thy well known scat is empty, thy • voice is not heard; we miss thee at the commu - nion; thy father and brothers miss thee: the pastor misses and will miss thee; The Banner y and its readers miss thee! But for thy greater , good we will bear our loss without murmuring. s .7* °w, if the impression is made on any sol . dier’s mind who reads this, or deepened where already made, that the true Christian man is the best soldier, great good will have been accom i plished, and a deserved memorial made, in this (permanent way, of a good man. kailroad guide; Georgia Railroad & Banking Co Augusta to Atlanta Mtlbs. .. .Farh $5 50 GEORGE YONGE, Superintendent.
