EARLY's LAST CAMpA1ax.-We have
heretofore omitted to notice the reception of
this book, from the publisher, Mr.. C. w.

required at our hands. Its distinguished au-
thor claims forit the merit of truth, and no.
body believes that JUBAL A. EARLY would
write anything but the truth. The book is
for sale at the Drug Stores of this town.
