whole, we commend it as greatly superior to many similar publications. We are indebted to the courteous author for our copy. The Publishers — Charles Scribner's Sons, New York — have sent us the following additional volumes of their Campaigns of the civil war: III. The Peninsula, by General Alexander S. Webb; IV. The Army under Pope, by John C. Ropes, Esq.; V. The Antietam and Fredericksburg, by General Francis Winthrop Palfrey; VI. Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, by General Abner Doubleday. Each 1 volume, 12mo, with Maps. Price, $1. We propose to give these volumes a careful study and a candid review, in which task we have been promised the aid of one of our ablest military critics. Meantime we may say that we have dipped into them sufficiently to see that they are of very unequal merit — the volumes by Mr. John C. Ropes and General Palfrey striking us as being greatly superior to the other two in the careful study they have given the campaigns of which they tre<

ellorsville — Gettysburg. A review of General Doubleday by Colonel Wm. Allan. No volume of tha period of more absorbing interest than General Doubleday's account of Chancellorsville and Gettys the preceding numbers of the series. General Doubleday's statement of the Federal movements at prise in pushing up from Fredericksburg, General Doubleday sees so clearly the immensely greater blcussion must have effected his brain. General Doubleday is more of annalist than historian, and it may be permitted to a brave man like General Doubleday to become enthusiastic over the gallant untry into a Federal Republic. Again, General Doubleday shows a conspicuous inability to deal fadly possible, and yet it is a fact, that General Doubleday has seriously misstated the Count, and iorical papers the very letter from which General Doubleday quotes, and of course it settles the que The above sample of the way in which General Doubleday has dealt with the numbers of the combat[5 more...]

Notes and Queries. did General L. A. Armistead fight on the Federal side at First Manassas? General Abner Doubleday, in his Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (page 195), says: Armistead was shot down by the side of the gun he had taken. It is said he had fought on our side in the first battle of Bull Run, but had been seduced by Southern affiliations to join in the rebellion, and now dying in the effort to extend the area of slavery over the free States, he saw with a clearer vision that h, who leaned over him: Tell General Hancock I have wronged him, and have wronged my country. Now, we have only quoted this statement in order to pronounce it without the shadow of foundation, and to express our surprise that a soldier of General Doubleday's position should thus recklessly reflect on the honor of a brave foeman upon the flimsy it is said, and the camp rumor of one of our officers. But the man who could gravely assert that the Confederates were fighting to extend the area of

we now submit the following conclusive statement of the whole case. General Abner Doubleday in his book on Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (page 195), makes the fdrawn his sword against his native State, his kindred, his own people. General Doubleday's repetition of this rumor is as unworthy of the candor of a brave soldie he would have denied every principle he had held during his life if what General Doubleday says were true. His friend, General Wm. H. Payne, of Warrenton, Virginactually sent by the dying hero, was a very different one from that which General Doubleday gives. Mortally wounded, completely exhausted, [he had arisen from a sicunholy cause --and in thus changing the words, and forcing their meaning, General Doubleday proves that he lacks the calmness of the historian, and shows the same biaving that fair name and fame tarnished by the flippant, reckless, pen of General Doubleday, whose book will be of little value to the future historian if this is a
