pirit; then the
blood in which is the life; then blood as the voice which utters
mighty truths and testimonies; then 'the voice of accusing blood from
the ground,' beginning with the blood of Abel; the 'voice of typical
blood from the altar' comprehending the Jewish sacrifices; 'the voice
of atoning blood from the cross;' 'the voice of martyr-blood from the
church;' of 'sacramental blood from the Christian altar;' of
'pleading blood from the mercy-seat;' of 'witnessing blood from the
judgment throne;' of 'avenging blood from hell;' and, finally, of
'glorifying blood in heaven.' These topics are treated in a fervid
and impassioned style which seldom flags. The reader is never wearied
by dulness. Without endorsing every sentiment, we find the work
evangelical, earnest, and quickening."--_Biblical Repertory and

Philadelphia Press, turns aside from the subject with miserable jokes, as
trivial as they are heartless. And these are our _friends_!
[3] Since the foregoing was written it has been ascertained to a
certainty, that there were three thousand men, exclusive of the eight
hundred and thirty-one who were in the town; almost as large a force as
that which, one year ago, routed Milroy's whole military force, cannon and
all, at Winchester.
[4] Among the many thousands who have been quartered and encamped here, I
have never heard of a single soldier who did not speak in the most
grateful terms of the universally kind treatment towards them from
