J. M. WILLIAMS. Capt. i Aug. 15. 48-tf I A CLERGYMAN AT THE BATTLE OF MANASSAS —HE MEETS WITH ‘-HON.” MR. ELY. „Rev. Joseph Cross, Chaplain of Colonel Bate’s Tennessee regiment, writes to the Christian Ad vocate some interesting letters from the “seat of war.” We extract the following from his last: P5 I “Merciful God, what a sight for Christian eyes! Wagons and ambulances loaded with mangled and groaning men; corpses carried on litters and the shoulders of surviving comrades; heaps of legs and arms recently cut off by the surgeon; brains and blood scattered over the ground and trod into the mire; soldiers walking about with broken limbs and bandaged heads, covered with their own gore; others sitting or lying upon the wet earth, with wounds undre.ssed and bleeding. A lady, young and beautiful, but pale as death, hurried by me, exclaiming, “where is poor Jim'.^” and as she disappeared in the throng, a low voice .said, “She is from Alabama, Jim was her broth er.” Another came, with delicate feet, fit only to tread on ro.ses, regardless of the mud through wliich she waded, exclaiming, “Where is hey where? where?” and an officer answered, sooth ingly, “Vender, in that house with the yellow ) flag; they have amputated the limb, and he is do ing very well.” The next sad spectacle was a middle-aged wo man, who met a dead body borne upon a plank; at the sight of which she burst into tears and sank upon the ground, when two soldiers raised her up and carried her after her dead husband. I .saw a dense crowd and walked toward it. Within were nmny prisoners, sitting, lying, walk ing about; some sad and other.s sullen: some evi dently uneasy, others apparently quite indiffer ent, and here and there one affecting mirth and jocularity. There were several of Wilson’s cut throat gang, and tnree of Ellsworth’s Zouaves. The latter .said they did not know whether another of their iiumber had iscaped death, but belit.ved themselves the only survivors. Then* was a lit tle man, with a wicked, wolfish look, as restlsss as a hyena in a cage. It was the Honorable Al fred Ely, member of‘ Congress from Rochester, New York. Our (''aptain Clusky, having been ac- ijuainted with him in Washingtoii, stepped up and took his hand, .^lost piteously the prisoner im plored the interposition, in his behaif, of a man whom, a few hours before, lie would gladly have seen slaughtered. Captain (' introduced to him our gallant Colonel. “Your servant, ('olonel liate,” said the prison er, bowing obserjuiously. “1 am glad to meet you. Vou see 1 am in a bad fix.” “Ves, sir,” said the Colonel; “you are, for a member of Congress, in a vcrj/ bad fix.” “But you see,” rejoined the honorable gen tleman, throwing open the breast of his coat, “I am unarnuMl; nothing >oit :i pen-knil‘e; no uniform; tuerely s[)ectator; came out with Senator Foster to 6>ee the battlo; but unfortunately ventured too far, and was taken.” “Mr. Ely.” replied the Colonel, “a battle-iield is no place for a civilian. Vou are a member of ('ongre.ss, sir, and the representative of at least ninety thousand people. ,\nd do you think jour- self a cipher in a scene like this? No, sir; the moral inHiieiiceof your i»resence was worth a hun dred soldiers to our enr-mies. Are you not a lawyer, .^Ir. Ely?” “Yes, sir," .said Mr. Kly, “1 am a lawyer.” “Then, sir,” ('ol. B. continued, “you kn»w that by your presence you are aiding and ab *tting this cruel and bloody assault upoti us. It is a princi- jtle of law which you are accustomed to recognize elsewhere, and which you are obliged to acknow ledge here.” He assented with a shi-epish look, and contin- ' ued his absurd apology, which the Colonel thus ' cut short: “Mr. Ely, we are gla 1 to see you here. We want you with us, and cannot consent to part with I you soon. There are luon at Washington for j whom we may be willing to exchange you here after; if, indeed, you should not be hanged as you deserve.’^ The battle-field, who shall describe? Vou could have walked over acres literally paved with the dead and tiie dying, and in some places were piles of gashed ami gory corpses; but everywhere there appeared to be five Yankees to one South erner. The miserable cowards as they fleil left the slain and the wounded upon the field, and the former were buried by our soldiers, and the latter treated by our surgeons; whil‘ in Washington the brutal rascals were beating to death the lew South ern captives they h.id tnkeii! I n a few weeks I hope to preach to the Walker Legion from the ^teps of tlie Capitol at Washing ton, on the words of General Joshua before the pates of -lericho; “Shout, tor the Lord liath given us the city.” TO PATRIOTS Wlin H.IVK MIT liiKVE TO THK W AR. | Arrest or n (’/The Washington or- HMIE undersigned having been requested to act as resp(,„,]ent of the S'. V. Exi.res.s relates the fol L Agent for the Confederate States Government, to ‘ solicit donations of DOUBLE B.VRREL SHOT GUNS, from the citizens of this section, will be pleased to hen- of any one who i' willing thus to serve his country. I am Authorized to say, lhat any one who cannot go to the war, can serve his country greatly by giving a Gun. The great want cf well armed Cavalrj* was much felt at Manassas—some of those who were there being actually without any arms. The Double barrel Gun i-^ intended for the Cavalry, and it is of great importance that a sufficient nurrber of them should be obtained, a-- the result of the war will depend very greatly upon the number and efficiency of the Cavalry we can send into the field. Each Gun will be tnarked with the name of the giver. .Any persons ilesiring thirs to serve their country, wil: please inform me at this place. HENRY E. COLICN. Col. T. Waddill.

Being re- fjuired by the Secretary of State to produce his sermon, it appeared by a note on the niariin that “it was first preached twelve years ago!” The Secretary read it carefully over, and pronounced it good, sound, Chri.»tian doctrine, and forthwith ordered Mr. Lippitt ro be discharLred.
