MATES in the Universities of AIississippi and
Virginia, and late Assistant Secretary of War to
the Confederate States q prolific writer for the
Southern press-and William Hand Browne, of
Baltimore. II lis intended to supply need
long felt at the South; the need of an organ for

been published in the last ten years, his know.
