This is a remarkable book 1t

N of the War Department is again
id bare, and for which the Doctor
st his position. He having incurred
be condemnation of Stanton, will in
brn receive the praise of a grateful
bublic, which is far better than all the
bower and patronage that could be
conferred by that wrctched creature,
Fho still reigns supreme in that De-
partment. We only wish that every

SToNEwALL JACKSON; military biog-
rapby, with fine portrait and maps.

Gen Stuart's staff Published by

way, New York. Price $3.50.
This is undoubtedly the best biog.
raphy yet published of this remarka-
bic military leader. The book is ac-
|cepted by his friends as in the main
correct, and is not assailed by his en-
emics. 1t is produced in a very at.
tractive style, ably written, well print
ed, and must be accepted as stand
ard, in military point of view; and
is arranged in three parts, viz fror1
his childhood to battle of Bull Run
No. /; the campaigns of the Valley
from Port Republic toChanccllorsville
where he was killed. This must
prove a very fascinating book to those
soldiers who, for two or three years,
trampled up and down the valley after
this military chieftain. With all the
hardships of the camp and the field
fully sot forth by the author, who often
removes the veil and fully displays
the rallying points in true soldiers
life. There are several other publ
cations purporting to be biographies
Of "Stonewall," but we deem Mr.
Cookies the best for the general read
err. The book is bereft of everything
partizan or sectarian, and deals only
with the soldier and statesman.
