Books of Military Issracston.-The present
times seem to be prolific in military develop
msnts, not the least among which is the many
styles in which the art OF war is presented to
tho reading public by authors on tnat science.
In former days old Fuss and Feathers bore of
tho palm in his knowledge Of the subject, and
his "taoties," for 30 many years the tsxt book
Of the U. s. Army, had so overshadowing a
popularity that no other writer dare enter the
field in opposition to the doughty General
The times, however, are changed, and 20 arc
the men. SCOTT and his tactics are fossil re-
maindsrs. Younger military writer's have Dor
rowed all Of his system worth translating TO
our modern time, and have added thereto the
fruits of later and moro enlarged experience.
In this department Of literature the South is
pre- eminent. The efforts at publishing of late
BY Southern firms are Of tae most credit
able kind. Books are gotten up in .
style unsurpassed BY Northern houses
Among the military books lately issued none
surpass Gilhsm's Manual, published by. West
and Johnston, Of this city, At 145 Main street.
It il gotten up regardless of cost. Competent
authority pronounoes it an admirable book,
showing the soldiers art from Alpha to Omega.
Among other books published by tho same
firm may be mentioned Csry's Bayonet Exer-
else, LEES Volunteers Hand Book, Confederate
States Army Regulations, Hardee's Tactics,
Mahan's Outpost Duty, School of the Guides,
or the Practicing Soldier, Southern Military
Manual, TO-, DC. We saw yesterday, at the
above publishing house . beautiful map of
tho Seat Of War, published in New York, and
which, BY some means, had run tho blockade.
It conveys much valuable information. Mars
is in tho ascendant and military books 20 off
