Arriving at the hill beyond the hotel at the Stone Bridge on the Fairfield road, the column was halted while Generals Longstreet and McLaws reconnoitered the route.

purpose to suspend our publications. We only desired to advise our friends of our need of prompt payment of their dues in order to enable us to meet our obligations and carry out important plans for making our Papers more valuable than ever. But we would repeat with emphasis, that those who intend to become Life Members-to raise us clubs of new subscribers-or to help us in any way-are not likely to find in the future a time when they can do so more acceptably to the Society. Our Gettysburg series is still exciting the deepest interest in every quarter. We have letters from our distinguished foreign correspondent expressing his very high appreciation of the interest and value of these papers. We will be glad to have additional papers from anybody who knows anything about the great battle worth publishing. Errata.-On page 109, (Sept.

We beg immediate attention to this matter, as we cannot send our January number to any who shall have failed to comply with our terms, which are $3 per annum, cash in advance. the finances of the Society, our friends will be glad to learn, are in a much more satisfactory condition than they were several months ago. If our receipts for the current year are as large as they have been the past year (and we have every reason to believe they will be much larger) we can easily meet all of our obligations, and have money in the treasury. But we still desire to enroll additional life members, and to secure a list of new subscribers in every section. We beg our friends to help us. Want of space compels us to leave out of this number General Lane's report of Gettysburg, a letter from Colonel J. B. Walton, Chief of Artillery of Longstreet's Corps, and other papers which we are obliged to put off.
