THE manuscript Ia nearly completed, and

ance and t. pography of the work win DO OF
tie first class, and It will be fully and ham
somely illustrated with sketches oftho sceneS
referred to, and
Finely Engraved Steel Portrait of the
AUTOR.
As to its contents, we have. no hesitation in
saying that the public will be startled at this
narrative Of facts. 1t will lay bare the perse-
cutions and cruelty which marked the devel.
opment ofsecession conspiracy in Tennessee
the disasters and tne ruin with whichit devas-
tated communities once prosperous, and sun
dere6 families once happy; more than all, it
wi,l exp ose the bad and reckless ambition and
the relentless and blood thistiness, by which
the rIngleaders of the conspiracy were stimu
lated to their work of crime and treason.
The narrative is one of personal experience.
The author youches for the accuracy of it's
statements. The public may, therefore, ac-
cept it as not only reliable but peculiar
chapter in the general history of the times,
and we are confident thGt no moro significant,
startling, OF Instructive memorial OF the re-
bellion, in its minute personal and social bear
ings, is now accessible.

low is bold speaking man. In this narrative
Of his sufferipgs, composed mostly while in
custody in the Jail at Knoxville, he hvs utter
ed his thoughts in language of extraordinary
force and fearlessness, scathing his adversa-
ries even while in their power, and appealing
| to his countrymen, even from his cell, with
| the urgency of a martyr.
1t will be published in o:e volume, l2mo.,
