CONFEDERATE HISTORIANS.
Several Southern writers arc now in this
city In search OF publishers. I vas recently
shown the manuscript of q work detailing
the exploits Of the Confederate cavalry dur
ing the late rebellion. The writer spoke Of
Gen, Wheeler as "the gif,ed 5on Of Mars,n -
America'' The Yankees we're Invariably
dastarls and the rebels invariably heroes.
The former were always defeated and the Int
| ter always successful, their captures, (by IN
estfmats Of my own, as the writer gave no
agg1egate) being not less than quarter Of q
million, and their losses very slight. The
KEGS managed to penetrate to all parts Of the
Confedefacy. At last accounts he had not
! found publisher. His work deserves place
on shelf near the reracious narratives of
Munchausen and Gullivez. KINGSTON.
