And so may it ever be. May you, veterans of the Army of Tennessee, by the arms of your vigorous manhood and the counsels of your mature age, ever prove a shield and a defense for your people. Notes and Queries. Our refutation of General Doubleday's slander of General Armistead has elicited hearty thanks from many quarters. Among others a gallant soldier and distinguished citizen (once governor) of another State, who was Armistead's comrade in the Mexican War, writes: Your complete ecause of the clearness with which it is written, and of the amount of research it shows in bringing together information from widely scattered sources, concerning an exciting and important campaign.

Notes and Queries. Our refutation of General Doubleday's slander of General Armistead has elicited hearty thanks from many quarters. Among others a gallant soldier and distinguished citizen (once governor) of another State, who was Armistead's comrade in the Mexican War, writes: Your complete vindication of General Armistead in your August and September issue, furnishes a valuable leaf in the history of the war between the States, and relieves from calumny the memory of as gallant a soldier, and as true a patriot, as ever drew sword in a just cause. General Fitzhugh Lee invited to lecture in New England. The following letter from Dr. Hamlin (a nephew of ex-Vice President Hamlin) explains itself. Its frank, manly spirit, and the feelings which dictated it, will be appreciated and reciprocated by our Confederate soldiers and people: Bangor, Maine, December 8, 1882. General,—I am instructed by the Grand Army Post, No. 12, of this city, which numbers among its members

The Shenandoah Valley in 1864, by George E. Pond—Campaigns of the civil war, XI. A Review, by Colonel Wm. Allan. This is one of the most interesting of the Scribner series and is valuable because of the clearness with which it is written, and of the amount of research it shows in bringing together information from widely scattered sources, concerning an exciting and important campaign. As history, too, it is far better than General Doubleday's Gettysburg, though it is far behind the best numbers of the series. Mr. Rope's Army under Pope, and General Palfrey's Antietam, for instance. It is mainly a narrative of the Federal operations in the Valley in 1864, only describing and discussing the Confederate side, so far as is necessary to the comprehension of the achievements of the Union armies. While, too, Mr. Pond's language is temperate, and he aims at fairness, his bias is very evident, and often converts his pages into a defence of, or panegyric upon the Federal commanders.

Notes and Queries. General Doubleday's Slander of General Armistead once more. Our readers remember how effectually we disposed of General Doubleday's slander of General L. A. Armistead, tohat he had wronged his country. We sent General Doubleday these proofs that he had wronged a gallht in that respect. Yours, very truly, Abner Doubleday. From this letter it will appear thate ought, perhaps, to be duly grateful to General Doubleday for making even this small concession, eme of the other marvellous statements in General Doubleday's book, we know exactly how to account fhe utter falsity of the slander to which General Doubleday still adheres, we give the following sta Moore had never read the discussions of General Doubleday's statements about General Armistead at ead's making use of any such language as General Doubleday attributes to him. I have given you the nd all cavil, the reckless slander which General Doubleday based on camp rumor, and to which he cli[1 more...]

th, we can only say now that we are reading General Humphreys's with great interest and pleasure, and while we shall have occasion to controvert some of his statements, we regard it as the work of an able soldier, very carefully prepared after a full study of all accessible material, and written in fine style and admirable spirit. The contrast between the fairness with which General Humphreys treats the men who fought against him, and the miserable partisan spirit shown by such writers as Doubleday and Badeau is very striking and pleasant. Confederate annals, published by J. W. Cunningham, 720 Chestnut street, St. Louis, is the name of a new candidate for public favor, which we cheerfully place on our exchange list, and bid God speed in its work. It is a semi-monthly, published at $3 per annum. We regret that we have not more space now than to cordially commend it to our friends everywhere as likely to prove a valuable co-worker in the vast unexplored mines of Confederate histor
