This title gives as good an idea OF
the work as can well be presented TO
the reader short Of a perusal Of the
book. The writer-and he is one Of
the best among the host of "Army Cor
respondent" s"-enter. upon the record
from the beginning-gives the history
Of the organization Of the Army of the
Po.omsc.' (slmost become by-word
Of reproach. and yet composed of splsn-
did soldiers. who 6ght with the best,
but who have been badly commandsd)
follows it through its marches and en-
campments; its passage 10 the PENN
sula; aud paints vividly the battle Of
Fair Oaks. the Siege Of Richmond, the
Incidents attending it. and the Retreat.
A friend Of Nc Clellsn. the writer eulo-
gises that general, but endeavors to give
q faithful record Of the events he chron-
icles. 1t is hardly necessary for US to
say the book is replete with the deepest
interest. The reader can hardly con-
sent to lay the volume aside. after COM
mencing its perusal. until tue last page
has been scanned. Some glimpses Of
Rsbeldom are given that are rich iu hu-
NOR and reveal things that are not very
complimentary to the 'chivalry.' The
panic of the suffers is spicily described;
and while the vivid painting Of the bat
tle-scsne will thrill the reader; the
genial spice which charactsrizes other
portions of the narration will not fail to
win attention or provoke smile. Send

The ATLANTIC MONTHLY for January
is an unusually full and interesting
number Of this sterling wo:k. I, is Q
matter for congratulssion tha, this stan
dard Of excellence in American litera-
ture in the department i. occupies. gives
no uncertain sound on the great ques-
ton Of the FRErDox OF MEN. 1t Crap
pies with the subject of thi, rebellion
as giant takes bold Of his adversary,
and aims dsadening blows upon it. We
always find food for thought aud facts
which add % the store OF kno wledge in
its pages. Regarded abroad as one Of
the FIRST works Of the kind printed in
the language. it is only hated at home
BY the most beso.ted class of pro-
slavery adherents. Itis worthy place
in every household Of tho Uuion. SO q
