A HIGHLY INTERESTING BooK.-We are
indebted to the publishers, Messrs. ID.
Appleton Co.. New York, for a copy OF
work which we are confident will be sought
for and read with avidi.y not only through
out the entire South, but at the North
also-''Stonewall Jackson-a military bio
graphy; with portrait and maps; by
John Esten Cooke, formerly of General
Stewards staff 1t gives what we believe
to be really truthful account Of the life o
the ''Christian hero" including the nu-
merors sk;rniishes, battles, etc, in which
he was engaged, and is written in a vivid
and attractive style, the writer having had
the double advantage of being a partici-
pant and of verifying from official docu-
ments the statements he makes. The
work is printed in the very best style, and
is for sale in this city by Messrs. Townsend
& North.
