Gen. Lee has made Arrangements with pub
1Isher of New York to issue his history Of TIC
rebellion. 1t says: =.
awe wcrc informed some two months ago,
by gentleman who had The means of inform
ailon, that Gen. Leo had BEEN visited BY a
New York publisher, I've believe Mr. Rich
arisou,) with view Of inducing him to write
history Of The wnr, the publication OF which,
upon terms very liberal to Gen, Lee, would
be nndertaken by Mr.. r. II we Tero correct
ly informed, the General did not, at least ut
that time, enter into any agreement on the
subject. But he communicated to our Inform
antthe seneo OF obligation which he felt to do
justice to the great army which he had COM
manded, by making historic record Of its
deeds Of ra1or and Its displays Of fidelity md
endurance. His personal reluctance At be-
coming the historian Of cycnts, in which he
was tie chief actor, Was Increased BY tile
fact that most Of his Official papers had been
lost upon the evacuation Of thta clty-but he
recognized Us Of controlling force, a debt Of
gratitude to the bravo men he had COM
manded, and IN obligation to the truth Of
history. II may be, therefore, reasonable to
suppose TINT Gen. Leo Will avail himself Of
the retirement md farorlug circumstances
afforded BY his present position, to prrpa1e
history OF hts campaigns and Of the achieve
eInnts Of lie renowned army Of Nothezn Tlr-
