oblivion. But as cumulative evidence of the utter falsity of the slander to which General Doubleday still adheres, we give the following statement of the Rev. Theodore Gerrish, (now pastor of the First Methodist Church, Bangor, Maine, but during the war a gallant soldier in the Twentieth Maine Regiment,) author of Reminiscences of the War. In a letter to the Secretary, dated March 16th, 1883, Mr. Gerrish says: One of my church members, a very reliable gentleman, whose address is W. H. Moore, Cumberland street, Bangor, was formerly a member of the Ninty-Seventh New York Regiment, which, at Gettysburg, was in Robinson's Division of the First Corps. ay attributes to him. I have given you the substance of his statement, and you can put it into any form or make any use of it you may see fit.

Hutchinson, Private in the Army of Northern Virginia. Bangor, Me: Brady, Mace & Co. 1884. We have received from the publishers (through their agent, Captain James G.

The preface avows as the objects of the book to give a full and impartial history of the campaigns of these two grand armies, showing the relative forces engaged, &c., to preserve the incidents, reminiscences and amusing anecdotes of the private soldiers of both, and to show the fraternal feelings which now exists between the soldiers of these once fiercely opposing armies. There are very pleasant introductory letters from Colonel Augustus C. Hamlin, of Maine, and General Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia. Not having yet found time to read the book carefully, as we propose doing
