NEW PUBLICATIONS.

We have before US the second volume
OF the W AR BETWEEN THE STATES, ITS
CAUSES, CHARACTER, CONDUCT AND Re-
SUITS, by Hon. ALEXANDER II. STR
PHENs. Published by the National Pub
fishing Company of st. Louis. II is in all
respects as creditable a volume as the
first. The history Of the earlier days of
the Confederate government, and particu-
larly that portion of its existence at
Montgomery, as a ProYisionSi Govern.
ment," is given to the world for the first
time In these pages. Mr.. Stephens took
part in the Provisional Congress, as a
delegate from Georgia, and was iutrusted
with many important duties. His state
ments concerning these affairs are of
great value. His narrative of the confer
ence between President Lincoln and the
Confederate Commissioners at Hampton
ROadssis the fullest and most valuable
yet given to the public. Nh. Stephens was
the principal negotiator on the Southern
side in these proceedings, in the history of
which the people of the whole country
are so deeply interested. The vexed ques-
ton of the non x 1hRDge of prisoners of
war is laid bare before the reader, and the
peace movements in the South are thor
Oughly explained. The present volume
is q narration of the events of the war
and is as graphic and entertaining as q ro-
nance, while possessing all the higher
qualities of a veracious history. The
promise made three years since has
been fulfilled in this concluding
volume of a history that future
generations will regard as among the
principal authorities on the Southern
side. Mr.. Stephens was for many years a
prominent actor in the scenes OF legisls-
ton, which Immediately preceded the
war, and knows much of the secret his
tory Of those stirring vents which pre-
cipitated the great struggle upon US. The
character of his mind, his habits of
thought, and splendid powers Of analysis,
together with his great honesty and truth
fulness as q statesman, rendered him in
the eyes OF the whole country the proper
historian of b events in which he acted
so conspicuous a part. The Indomi-
table energy which, in the midst
of failing health, he brought to
the preparation Of this work, was
remarkable, and has resulted in
the production of the best history Of the
war, we have yet seen, and the only
Southern history of real merit that has |
yet appeared. Ii is for sale by subscrip-
ton only.
