And while sending your own renewal, do try and send us also at least one new subscription. General Geo. D. Johnston, after a splendid campaign in Mississippi, goes now to Arkansas in the interests of our Society, looking after Permanent Endowment as well as annual subscriptions. If this gallant soldier, accomplished gentleman, and Prince of Agents needed any commendation from us there is very much we could say. But to friends among whom he may go we will only say: Hear him for his cause, and help him as you love the name and fame of our Confederate soldiers and people. our General index to first ten volumes of Southern Histori-Cal Society Papers, which we published in our December number, cost us a good deal of labor, and considerable extra expense for the printing; but we are sure our readers will appreciate it as a very i

Legislature to purchase sets of the ten volumes of the Southern Historical Society Papers, alluded to in our last number as probable, was consummated, the bill having passed both Houses, and been approved by Governor Ireland. We are now having the one hundred and sixty sets bound, and expect to deliver them at an early day, and pass to the credit of our permanent Endowment Fund this generous and wise appropriation of the Lone Star State. It is due to our efficient General Agent, General George D. Johnston, to say that our success in this matter is due largely to his wise management, untiring zeal, and judicious presentation of the claims of the Society; but we desire to return our especial thanks to Governor Ireland, who always gave the scheme his influence, and to our friends in both the Senate and House, who (without distinction of party) had the enlightened wisdom to see that it would be money properly used to place these invaluable Papers in all of the counties of the State, and

by paying the fee of $50? 4. Can you not get up in your community a lecture or entertainment of some sort for the benefit of the fund? 5. Can you not send us lists of names of those likely to help us? Let us hear from you. General George D. Johnston, our efficient representative, is now canvassing Texas in behalf of the Society, and is doing, as is his wont, a good work-organizing local branches, enrolling members, and stirring up general interest in our cause. Having just made a Houston, where we are sure he will meet a cordial greeting and the hearty cooperation of our friends there. A gallant and accomplished soldier, a graceful and eloquent speaker, a genial and popular gentleman, and an enthusiast in his work, General Johnston never fails to make friends for the Society wherever he goes. We hope to be able before long to announce for him a programme which will go far towards ensuring the success of our effort for permanent endowment. A Confederate soldiers'

Literary notices. The Virginia campaign of 1864 and 1865; the Army of the Potomac and the Army of the James. By A. A. Humph-Reys. Price, $100. Statistical records of the armies of the United States. By Frederick Phisterer. Price, $100. New York: Charles. Scribner's Sons. We have received these books from the publishers through West & Johnston, of Richmond, and we are also indebted to General Humphreys for copies of his book. Reserving for the future a full review of both, 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

The statement to which you called my attention was furnished in answer to one of these questions, but did not reach me until the sketch had been published in our city paper, the Columbus Index, then edited by our mutual friend, General J. H. Sharp. I appended the statement, and other information furnished me by General Bragg, in the form of notes, intending at some future time to elaborate more at length; but on the visit here last winter of General George D. Johnston, agent of the Southern Historical papers, he heard of the papers in my possession, and asked to read them, and then made the request that I furnish them to the Society at Richmond. In the following (last) February I received from Rev. J. William Jones, of the Society, a very urgent letter requesting copies of my papers. Not having the time to make copies, I sent him the original papers by express on the 13th of February last, and heard no more from them until I saw the first inst
