AH walls and doorways were a sweep of black. From a thousand, staffs the flag rippled its scarlet and sap phire and snow, and' all over were the blue deeps of space and the thin: gossamer of vapors made dazzling by the approach of an August noon, Beyond the ranks of the watch ers gathered a mass of vehicles of every description, filling ' Broadway to Twenty-second street. An unbro ken line of them stretched to Fourth avenue, the horses grateful for the J unwonted rest. Men 01 an stations and conditions were mingled in the vast throng; women and children were there by thousands ; babies were held up by strong arms " that they might see. Among the tall branching lamps on the boundary of Broadway and the avenue a score of men were perched, and the cloud of wires swayed and trembled between poles to whose tops a swarm of dar- iag boys had made their way. For half an hour there was no incident but the passing of some xegiment with a stirring war note to its posi tion. A woman fainted from the pressure. The crowd could give way but Httle, but she was lifted and car ried through. A man perched on the lofty seat of a van lost his bal ance and fgll headlong.

From the throats of flute and clarionet and tuba the sighs and sobbings of the na- tion' were voiced in softest, saddest music, but no heart could be struck deeper than by the sight of that rev erent blackness that bore him as a cloud.

A visitor to the army called on him one momm. The General was 'smoking and talking to his staff-officers. The -caller inquired of him : "General if -you flank Lee, and get between him and Richmond, will you not uncover Washington and leave It a prey to the enemy? ' General . Grant let a bis: wave of smoke roll out of his mouth as he replied in an" indifferent .way, "Yes, I reckon so." Eheouraged in his line of attack on the citadel of infor mation, the visitor continued "General, don't you .think Lee can detach sufficient force from his ar my to reinforce Beauregard . and overwhelm Butler ?"-. ."Not a doubt of it," said the the. General as calmly as before, while he knocked the ash- qs from his cigar with his little fin gcr. The : shocked face of the que rist was evidence; of his . perturb; tion of spirit over Grant's replies, as he propounded "a third inquiry : "General, is there not -danger that J ohnston may come up and rein force TLee, so that the latter will swing around and cut your commu nications and seize your supplies ?" "Very likely,- said Grant, as he purl ed another wave of smoke out of his mouth so as to form a series of rings, The visitor hastened back to Wash ington full of the horrible fate that was admitted pending over Grant and the army, while Grant and the army went on to Richmond.

Editor Rocket ; , - ' . f ' Jkar Sir: I promised you a short time since, when we' heard the dis tant mutteringxif Bobtedzo Centennial thunder everywhere, that I would gather together all the facts possible that would establish proof beyond question that Cedar Creek Baptist Church in Anson county, N. C, was erected and dedicated in 1785 one hundred years ago! Uncle Ben Saunders, of Lilesvijle, (we call -him, by way of brotherly love "and" christian familiarity, a "bright light" bf the Baptist church,) who has turned the beam on the time-table at 76 summers and who, too, has been a "Soldier of the Cross and follower bf the Lamb" for, over 53 summers, held the vast audience spell-bound three-fourths of an hour on Saturday morning, the 3rd of August, '85, with the all-important narration of this ever-memorable event He-told us in his happy style of delicacy that eight members -fof the Bantist church, with their ' ! ' wives, came to this , country and set tled in Randolph county in the date oi 17oU. 1 he head-centre and ec- elesiastieal lawrgiver was Shuble Sterns, than whom a more . r zealous advocate of Christianity and religious liberty never brought sumrs to the snrrlp. krrrv nf WinprttiiTf ' Ineighteaayars this little eoloay of Baptists had built 40 churches over an area of 250 miles, and inside of this radius was one Cedar Creek church then known tas Pee Dee church two miles north f the pres ent site, on the Dumas & Stanback Ferry road. In 1805 the second Baptist church ; was erected just 60 feet south of the present holy- sanc- tury. During this long, eventful pe riod of 76 years Bro. Daniel Mar shall,. Missionary Baptist and a con stant "rolling-stone," like Lorenzo Dow, passed through this country, held service in; this chureh ; from thence into South Carolina and on to Georgia ; while in the latter State was imprisoned and tried for no other offense than preaching "Christ and him crucified." My old friend Uncle Ben, the hero of 3,000 delivered sermons, seems to have si est ihc connecting link of his pastors prior to the date of 1829. Bro. John Culpepper as pastor comes first on the .list, of his recollection, Bro. Archy Harris .-second, and Bro. Daniel Gould third. In. these primatiye idays Baptist Conventions woko ealled "ejoQEail Correspondences," and why so the deponent knoweth not. Our time- honored speaker iwho had no chrojio logical . dates whereon to lay Hs words, said - many strange phenome-i j 1 1 1 1 TIT! nons took, place m ms day. ine blue stun in 1829 shone three consec utive days ; darkened all things here below; the naked eye could scan the sun, like viewing the moon, with out dazzling the sight in the least. This strange freak of nature occurred during the progress of r a protracted meeting at Cedar Creek, and a pious lady of ' culture and refinement de clared "out-right" to the congrega tion that she saw a man by the side of the sun. No sooner "than the words escaped her lips than saints and sinners alike went to their knees, and just such another revival has no precedent in the annals of religious history. Oh, for another blue sun in all the churches, to sharpen up the faith oi luke warm members and run sinners and sons in. blue out of phaetons and buggies into the house of God I- Hear me when I talk ! In 1832 Bro. Thomas Armstrong, a fine pulpit orator of his day, came through this . country as a Baptist missionary, "conquering and to con quer" with the "sword of the spirit' Uncle Ben charges up his piety and long life of usefulness to the con vincing-1 and convicting, appeals of this . able divine. Oh, for another strong arm like Bro. Armstrong to come round again ! Revelations in those da3'ssecm to have been nearer the surface than they are at thepresr ent day; for during his missionary stay, and just after Uncle Ben had closed in with the "overtures of mer ey," themfteors of '33 legan falling $1.50 tv .Year in Advance. No. 34. land all who witnessed those astro nomical wonders of nature thought their "time was up" - and the - -world was at an end." When Bro. Culpep per assured them that he did not think the end of time was yet but it would be afer to prepare to meet their God, the panic doubled and quickened u spirit of reformation as fax as the stars were seen. Robert Daniel, of Orange eounty, was agent for Sandy Creek Associa tion, and,4 during his sojourn at Ce dar Creek' church in '34, a dissolu tion of the church seemed imminent. Archy Harris, the leader of thffihti- missionary wing started out of the the -church with 52 out of 194 'mem bers. When, he reached the door a more considerate brother -touched him on the shoulder (like a New Yorker touched a Iiforth Carolinian last fall) and said : "On "this; - vital question toe mwsl all stand together" and henceforth they all stood to gether. ; . For fear this may stumble into your waste-basket, Precious, I'll be very brief. From 1840 to 1847 Bro. James Toomas and Bro. Hayes were pastors of Cedar Creek Church ; from 1847 to '55, our highly honored Bro. John Monroe, whose intrinsic worth and piety in the several counties are proverbial, and which gives him a through ticket from any station in rldTto anyint preferred in the New Jerusalem. From -oo to Bro. Jordan ;' from '61 to '66, Bro. J. B. Richardson ; from '66 to '68, Bro. Monroe again; from '68 to '71, ; Bro. Jordan, Sr.j from '75 to 79, Bro. N. B. Cobb ; from 79 to '80, Bro.. Rol lins; from '80 to '81, Bro, Wilhoit ; and from thence up to the present time Bro. Harrison has perpetuated the power and sanctity of " that church, and to-day holds an iron grip on the neck-veins of sin and Sataji sad will never turn loose un til his flock is safely landed "on the other side of Jordan." : - Pee Dee.
