Fresh Air In the Churches.
Commonly in tho churches, after the
morning services are over, every door and
window is shut, and the careful sexton keeps
them shut till night. The consequence is
the air is dead nml putrid, and every body
is tlrowsy. it the weather is ooltf, and tires
are needed, some' of the tipper sash ought

Wo hrtvo to record another of those fiend
ish acta that have rendered the character of
the boaste)l chivalry hateful in the eyes of
the eiviliid world, from the very beginning
of this wnr. Surely their catalogue of vil
lanies is nVur ly fulf. and it does seem as
though thj-ir last act must shame the devil
into a duK itiou of their caipe. On Satur
day last tkreo soldiers strayed some half a
mile f'ronio..r i.icket line without arms, to
I the plantation of u loyal (!) citizen, and
while in tin old out building were attacked
by a citiaen with a shot gun and forced to
stirrcudeif, w hen they were tied ull three to
gether and marched off o another planta
tion, where several men assembled and de
cided to shoot them on the spot. On being
