k, and clothing naked and destitute prisoners. The destitute prisoners of Fort Donelson—Island No.10—Arkansas Post, &c., &c., have cause to remember with gratitude her kind and efficient ministrations to their necessities at that time, and it has been a matter of surprise to those who knew of her work in behalf of the prisoners, that recognition of her services has not been recorded in your papers by some of those who were the beneficiaries of her labors, long, long ago. Yours truly, W. O. George. In the recent death of Ex-Governor John Letcher, at his residence in Lexington, Virginia, there has passed away one of the ablest, most fearless and most incorruptible of the Confederate War Governors. He carried through life the soubriquet he won in the old United States Congress—Honest John Letcher, the watch-dog of the treasury, and in his death Virginia has lost one of her ablest statesmen-one of her purest patriots. Peace to his ashes! General J. F. Gilmer, the able an<

Volumes I. and II. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1884. Sold only by subscription. We have received our copy through Rev. 1. T. Wallace, Agent, Richmond, Va. We have not yet had time to give this book, as we propose doing, a careful reading, and we must reserve until then any full notice or review of it. But we may say now that no narrative of the Military Operations of General Beauregard, even fairly well written, could fail to be of interest, while one written by the facile pen of Judge Roman, aided by General Beauregard's personal supervision, as well as by his papers, in its preparation, could not fail to be of absorbing interest and great historical value. A gallant soldier and accomplished engineer in the old United States army, one of the brightest of the galaxy of young officers who so gallantly distinguished themselves in the Mexican war, and certainly among the most accomplished soldiers which the late war produced, General Beauregard's contribution to our history h

e Roster of the army of Northern Virginia, which we published in our January-February number, have come from several sources, and we solicit others, if errors are found. General N. H. Harris writes as follows: Vicksburg, Miss., February 4th, 1884. Rev. J. William Jones, D. D., Secretary Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va: My Dear Sir,—In the January number Southern Historical so-Ciety papers, just received, page 8, appears: Organization of the Army of Northern Virginia, August 31st, 1864, page 13, Mahone's division, it is stated that Colonel Joseph M. Jayne was in command of Harris's brigade. This is an error; I was in command of the brigade, and Colonel Joseph M. Jayne was in command of his regiment, the Forty-eighth Mississippi. Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas B. Manlove, of the Forty-eighth regiment, by my assignment, was in command of the Twelfth regiment, and Lieutenant-Colonel James H.
