FortlfT4

CHICAGO, Jau. 18s 1861
Editors Chicago Tribune:
In January, 1862, one Of our prominent
historians {hIr. Abbott or Mr. Headley,) was
understood to solicit any perfectly authenti-
Gated information which might properly
enter into the history Of the great slavehold-
ers' rebellion. "
In the attempts which have been made to
permanently chronicle the events Of this war,
the historian has been deprived Of much val-
nab1e material for his work, and has been
deceived in important matters, mainly be-
causo the newspapers, in the first place, hayo
Kent back large portions Of the truth, for
reasons which may have been prudential at
the time, but which can be no excuse for
1ona continuance of such suppression and
misrepreecntation.' 1u
lP ..Perhaps the most remarkable instance of
rhat is here promised, is to be found in the
melancholy y a story Of Port Hudson. i It can
