Eight Weeks in Camp.
BY W. N. CHACTOIN.
SIo. Bi.
Arrival at Camps —Pleasant greetings
Things seen and heard—Baptismal scene.
11 Rhodes’ Division,” cried the conductor
in the coach door, about a mile short of
Orangg C. IT., and I stepped out of the
’coach with my baggage, inquired for Doles’
brigade and started thither. ’Twas Sab
bath morn, between 8 and 9 o’clock, the
sun shone brightly, after a shower the pre
vious night, and all nature seemed as cheer
ful and bright, as if .designed to foretoken
the almost ecstatic mental enjoyment in
reserve for me this day—this Sabbath day
—my first day in camps.
Now I sit in brother DeGraffenreid’s
tent, greeting and surrounded by old friends
and brethren. Happy moment! An hour
spent thus happily, answering questions
about home —and here comes brother Mar
shall, chaplain of the 12th Georgia Regi
ment, and only chaplain now in the brigade.
1 iiad met brother M. a time or two ere
this, and felt at once that I h'ad met a broth
er, and after-a really brotherly greeting
and salutation, 1 accompanied him to the
brigade meeting place, where I saw and
heard what elated me. I. heard brother G.
B. Taylor preach the first sermon 1 ever
heard in camp, and the sermon was worthy
the head and heart of any man, both in the
choice and treatment of his subject, and its
adaptation to the occasion. I heard sweet
singing; I saw a most attentive audience,
composed of officers and privates.
A rather large, heavy-built, short
sits to my right, and leads the singing. I
recognize-l him as an officer, but knew not
his rank. I soon learned it was Dr. Eth
ridge, of Athens, brigade surgeon. A little
farther to my left, sitting by a sapling, is a
youthful-looking man, whose stars indicate
him to b? a Colonel, and whose quick eyes
show him to be a man of intelligence. I
afterwards knew him as Edward Willis,
Colonel commanding the 12th Georgia regi
ment. Ju-t at my side and rear sits a tall,
middle-aged man, with a grave and serious
face, listening attentively, besid. s taking a
near seat. lie, too, has a star on his col
lar. I soon was able to understand his po
sition. near the pulpit, and respectful atten
tion, for I was introduced to brother Carson,
''ft t Macon county, Major of the 12th Georgia.
To see these, and I know not how many
others, besides officers of lower rank, at
tending divine service did me good. I'he
place for preaching was so neat, well select
ed, and the preparation of scats, stand, and
scaffolds for fire to give light, Greeted right
and left of the stand, all of which I saw at
a glance, and made me feel good ; for all
this, added to other things, wore to me evi
dence of true religious interest. From the
preaching place we repaired to the baptizing
place, a sort of artificial Jordan, prepared
by making a dam across a small brook, suf
ficient to “bury” in. Appropriate selec
tions wt r. read from the Now Testament,
aeompanied by timely remarks, a prayer
offered, preceded by a song, and I saw the
first baptism I ever witnessed incamp. Yes,
I saw brother Maishall immerse twenty
Confederate soldiers in the camp, or in the
army, before a vast, deeply interested au
dience, with no mother, wife, nor sister, to
witness the scene. They were an intelli
gent, good looking pared of men —about an
equal number of Gen. Doles’ (Georgia) and
ot a North Carolina brigade. This was not
the first occasion of the kind which they (the
spectators) ha I witnessed. Brother Mar
shall had. in that Jordan, ■buried in < ’hrist”
other squads of soldiers.
Now I gather, with Captain DeGraflen
reid and his company, around the vessels in
which it had been cooked, and eat my first
meal in camp,'consisting of bacon, biscuit,
and ri e. My appetite was goal, th' vic
tuals were good—additionally so to me,
v.ith all the novelty of the occasion, and in
tiie tbser.ee ot all < uventionalily. So that to
have to cat a hearty dinner was almost un
avoidable, and with ? r, encouraged by such
warm generosity, i was unavoidable. 1
enjoyed my dinner, and the afternoon was
pleasantly spent, saving a visit to, or rather
interview with, a your r man who was sen
tenced by a eourt-matial to be shot two
days afterward. Oh !it was solemn to try
to “show unto one the way of salvation” in
his condition. lie had no hope when- we
were with him. He seemed quite concerned
about his spiritual welfare, and felt rathei
hardly of‘‘the powers” that sentenced him.
N\ e talk 1 plainly, faithfully, to him. and 1
prayed w ith hua and for him —my first
pray, r with one condemned.
Iks tw light. Brother D. calls to take a
b-.'cuit and cup us coffee, and 1 respond, but
my mind is on the night’s service—l have
to preach. And now the fires of light-wood
on the svadolds are beaming a bright light,
calling forth the worshipers. Now I am

a< oompanied by brother M. to the”stand.
AV hat a crowd discernible’already I Look
how they come ’ Will they keep coming?
The seats are filled. Oh! what singing!
1 arise and look in front to the right and left
.of me, but can’t see them all. 1 turn round,
and it’s naught but a sea of faces—and not
a female face there. And as I proceed, with
a weak voice, with my sermon in camp,
behold, what attention ! I thank God for
this, my first day— first Sabbath—in the
army of my country. With a full heart,
and system overtaxed, I repaired to Captain
D.’s tent to sleep my first night in Camp.
How I succeeded must be reserved for my
next.
THE CHILDREN’S COLUMN
Effie Ray:
OR,
Selfishness Cured.
BY AUNT EDITH.
il Open the door, Effie, please.”
“What do you want, now, Robert? 1
think you are the greatest tease I ever saw
. in my life ; lean see no peace for you. -Why
. don’t you go and play ?”
“Just open the door a little while, Effie;
> I want to tell you something.”
[ “ I’ll not do it; so you might as well go
at first as at last.”
“Effie,! declare i’ll not touch a single
, thing; I will be very quiet if you will just
i let me in a little while, will you, Effie?”
. But Effie, absorbed in her occupation,
tI was deaf to ail entreaties, and little Robert
i tired at last of his fruitless pleadings, hid
himself down by the door, patiently to
1 'await Effie’s own time in opening it. Pres-
I enlly he fell asleep, with one knee up, his
t, hat upon it, and his whip across his chest,
while his little'deg, Sancho, lay in deep
? slumber by his side. Thus his mother
L foil id him when, h'df an hour afterwards,
D she entered the hall door, w hich had been
s left open, the draft coining in both ways
j back and front, upon his sleeping form.—
She v.-.ls üboiit to pass him and lay off her
i bonnet, when, noticing the unusual color of
his cheeks, she stooped and ’ai l her hand
upon his face. The skin was dry and hot;
. his breathing hoarse and quick’. Alarmed,
she called “ Effie ! w ho, by this time, open-
. i ed the door.
“ Why. Ellie-, my child, how could you
J allow your brother to b - here in this draft?
See, lie ha-: a high fever, and I’m afraid is
z seriously iil. < a'l Amy quick to place him
. on Ihe bed ! ’
P Efim hii-Jem dto oLm her mother’s or
-Iders, without, a word • for, coneiciicc-strick-
I cn, she knew not vvhat to say, and was afraid
t, to own her fault. Amy came, and lifting
t j the sleeping ijoy, c irri- I him t > his little
II bed in his mother's room. Effie sat beside
-i him, while her mother, hastily throwing off
* i her boiim i, hastily prepared to bathe bis
;• face and hand.- with cool wat?r. His little
I were, like two burning coals, and he
-(moaned and tossed about as if in pain.—
-1 Presently’ Robert opened his blue eyes,and
, then Ellie hung her head in shame when his:
■ little voice again pleaded—
' •• Effie, let mo in, will you Please, let I
> me in.” i
Mrs. Ray dispatched a servant tor the
! doctor and her husband, and in the mean- 1
time made us? of such remedies as she had
> . I
at hand, to quiet and soothe the sick child.'
From his incoherent talk, and Ellie’s reluc
‘ taut confession, she gathered what was the
matter, but forcbore any reproof, feeling
that her little daughter was just now bein'*
vI V J & •
well punished for her unkindness. The
' doeto • camo, and by a glance, pronounced
Robert to be a very sick child ; his brain
was considerably affected, and great skill
would be needed to overcome the disease ;
1 but he bade them hope for the best—good)
: nursing and quiet might do wonders. While |
- the doctor was miking to her parents, Effie|
i escaped to her room to have a hearty’ cry.
• ine fust thing sue spied was the drawing!
ft upon which she had been at work when her I
' little brother begged permission to enter.
i With a shudder she snatched it up and crum-l
1 pled it away in a drawer oat of her
1 sight;'] it was the unconscious cause of
ft all her trouble. “Oh! how unkind, how
selfish she had been ! \\ hat if Robert
should die ? could she ever forgive herself!’’
’ Thoughts like these, and many others*
coursed upon Effie’s mind, while she sat aud
1 wept bitter, burning teairs. Effie had
some good qualities, and had al wavs
been much beloved b- her parents; but-
selfishness was her main fault, and
against this they had tried to guard her.—
She thought b>o much of her own ease and
com/ori. h r own want<. and wa-; <e!.ioin
wi’iing to make any sacrifice, however
slight for the others. Punish
ment ha! now overtaken her. and she wa<
learning a hard, but practical lesson. For
two Jong weeks—months, it seemed tc Ef
fie, Robert lay upon the verge of the grave;
.he knew n one, and in his constant ravings '
was always pleading for Effie to open the)
door, thus continually reminding her of her
unkindness. Os course her father and the
doctor, and many of their friends, became
acquainted with the facts, and by all Eflle
was considered, in great a measure, the
cause of her brother’s illness. All this she
had to bear; but it did her good in the end.
God spared her little brother; he was suf
fered to rise from the sick bed, and never
afterwards could he complain of Effie’s
treatment. She did all in her power to
please him, acted toward him the part cjf a
kind, loving sister, and to the day of her
death never forgot the sad lesson she had
learned.
THE
A Jest for the Tinies.
The war has not subdued all the spirit of
fun yet. The Kno?cville (Tenn.) Register
tells a joke connected with the present re
quisition for comcripls as follows:
Some days ago Major Rucker was in con
versation with a fair, fat, and forty buxom
widow of an adjoining county, when, by ac
' cident, she mentioned the age of one of her
admirers, stating that he was not quite thir
ty-nine. The Major made a mental note of
the fact and soon departed. He went
straightway in pursuit of this juvenile ad
mirer of the attractive widow, whom he had
before learned, was a little more than forty
years of age. When he arrested Mr. John
son, Rucker told him that he regretted
to inform him that he was under the pain
, ful necessity of conscripting him. “I have
learned,” said Rucker, “from widow
that you are only thirty-nine. She says
that you told her so, and I feel it my duty
, to take you down to Col. Blake.’"
- “Oh! ah I yes,” said Mr. Johnson, in fact
sir, to tell you the truth, sir, I did lie just a
little to widow . 1 wanted—yes, 1
wanted to get married—you understand,
■ don’t you, Major ?”
; “ 1 don’t understand anything about it,”
said Rucker, “you must go with me.”
Mr. Johnson’s knees smote one another,
and in tremulous accents he besought Major
Rucker to permit him to send for the old
> family Bible. This was agreed to. In the
i meantime Rucker and his new levy pro
. cceded to Col. Blake’s headquarters. By
the Lime they reached Knoxville Rucker be
came satisfied that his follower was not less
than three score years and ten. The wid
ower’s hair dye was washed away, his false
teeth had been removed, his form was bent
by the immense pressure of mental anxiety.
Col. Blake wished to know why this an
tediluvian had been brought to him ; but so
complete had been the metamorposis of the
gay widower, that even Rucker blushed
’when he looked upon him.
The family Bible came, and there it was,
, written in the faded scrawl of Mr. Johnson’s
grandmother:
“ Silus Johnsing born in Bunkum Nawth
' Caliny, Anny Dominny 1783.
A Talc of £685.
The year IGBS, which Wodrow has well
called a “black year in Scotland, saw many
of the raints of God slain for the Master’s
sake. But it saw, too, great deliverances,
and heard glad hymns from joyful lips. It
is of one of such deliverances that my story
speaks.
Early in the spring of that year the godly
Renwick determined to preach in the vi
ccinity ot Blagaunach, among the moun
tains, and the place chosen was an impene
tarble morass, where, if the dragoons did
appear, they would be helpless, from the
nature of the ground, while their prey could
escape on foot. The text that day was,
“ He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of
i His eye.”
i While the congregation, deeply interes-
1 ted, were listening with eager attention, the
i outlooks announced that the dreaded foes
were only a quarter of a mile distant. All
was confusion in a moment. The greater
number hastened to the morass, while one,
who had changed clothes with the preacher,
in case of such interruption, took a different
direction hoping his ministerial dress would
decoy them from the right path. His ruse
succeeded. Most of the cavalry, determined
to secure the preacher at all events, fol
lowed him. Speedily they found advance
over the springy, boggy turf impossible,
and determined that two or three of the
more robust should go on foot. This, too,
| failed; for, unaccustomed to the ground,
j and encumbered with heavy armor, th’e men
floundered in the quagmiue and were with
diffiiculty rescued. One in his struggles
broke his leg, and this incident ended the
pursuit.
The injured soldier was carried back to
Blagannach, and there left at tne house of a
i Covenanter. Tradition says that time and
suffering wrought a great change on him—
that from being a reckless desperado, he
became an earnest Christian, and preached
that faith he once labored to destroy. Thus
this accident which to him may have seemed
a great evil, was the means of bestowing on
him the greatest possible blessing. Thus
< «od is ever,
“ From seeming evil -till educing good."
The persecuted Covenanters escaped un
, hurt, and in the deep forests which then
clothed the taftey of the Crawiek, their
leaders met that same evening to appoint a
day for the same sacred service. This done, j
commending each other to their Father’s p
care, they sought their several hiding places,
thanking God for the special deliverance He 11
had vouchsafed them. Most of these lead-!
ers afterwards sealed their testimony with •
their blood. Le; us who know littleoftheir -
sufferings, seek to possess their faith.
Afflictions.—Every drop of the bitter
cup that the Christian drinks is instinct with <
the sweetness of the everlasting covenant;
{his outward suffering, even wh cn it is bit
terest, is merely the chalice of an inward
benediction, and the heaviest blow that
smites him only helps more rapidly to his
everlasting and his blessed hon e ; all things
work together for good to him, because in
his case Christ has made an end of sin by
bearing in his own body its curse, and be
queathing to his people his peace.
