ne, formerly in charge of the Bureau of Clothing, Equipage and Equipment of the Quartermaster-General's Office, United States army, writes to the Savannah Morning News, of July 19, that they were introduced into the army shortly before the rebellion, by General McDowell, for the protection of our officers and men in Indian fighting against lances, arrows and armes blanches generally. He had borrowed the idea from the French Cuirassicrs, during a trip to Europe for purposes of inspection.--Ed. Nation. We may add that our Southern papers have teemed with proofs that the aforesaid breastplates were frequently worn by Federal soldiers during the war, and if any one is still skeptical, if he will call at the office of the Southern Historical Society we will take him across the hall to our Virginia State Library and show him several beautiful specimens of these protective devices, which were taken from the persons of Federal soldiers and have been preserved as war relics.

a. The question of the wearing of breastplates by soldiers in the United States army has had a somewhat amusing ventilation in the Nation recently. Captain J. A. Judson, who was Assistant Adjutant-General of Hatch's cavalry brigade, made a very fierce attack on General Dick Taylor's statement that he saw breastplates and o, he saw and carefully examined two steel breastplates taken from the bodies of two Federal soldiers. And Mr. S. W. Thaxter writes from Portland, Maine, that Captain Judson is in error in asserting that breastplates were not worn by cavalry soldiers in Banks' army in May, 1862. The writer found one which a soldier left in bivouaeral times with carbine shots, much to the chagrin of the owner, who soon discovered his loss. But the editor of the Nation caps the climax in disposing of Captain Judson by the following note: The case in regard to the breastplates seems closed. Mr. Henry C. Wayne, formerly in charge of the Bureau of Clothing, Equipage an

General J. R. Chalmers' address on Forrest and his campaigns will be published in our next issue, and will be found a most valuable contribution to the history of the war in the West.

Colonel William LeRoy Broun (now professor in Vanderbilt University, then in charge of the arsenal at Richmond) publishes in the same issue a statement to the effect that a few days after the Seven days battles around Richmond, he saw and carefully examined two steel breastplates taken from the bodies of two Federal soldiers. And Mr. S. W. Thaxter writes from Portland, Maine, that Captain Judson is in error in asserting that breastplates were not worn by cavalry soldiers in Banks' army in May, 1862. The writer found one which a soldier left in bivouac, and tested its quality as a protective device by fastening it to a tree and piercing it several times with carbine shots, much to the chagrin of the owner, who soon discovered his loss. But the editor of the Nation caps the climax in disposing of Captain Judson by the following note: The case in regard to the breastplates seems closed. Mr. Henry C.

ral commissions to efficient agents, and we beg that our friends will help us to obtain such agents.

o matter by whom the original subscription was obtained. We find that where subscriptions are originally obtained by agents, there is a strong disposition to wait until the agent can call again before renewing the subscription. This is very well where we have a local agent, for in that case the agent is sure to call. But a large part of our list of subscribers is obtained by traveling agents, who cannot go back promptly to call on parties when their subscriptions expire. E. g., on the 1st of July about three hundred and fifty of our subscriptions expired; we have not been able to send an agent after them, and very few have as yet responded to our postal card notification. We beg that our friends will help us to secure new subscribers, and to induce old ones to renew. And we are very anxious to secure reliable agents in every community. We can afford to pay liberal commissions to efficient agents, and we beg that our friends will help us to obtain such agents. The army of
