ADVANCE AND RETREAT.
Gen. Hoods History of the West
ern Army.
~ Huprestion to the People Of the
South.

rTo, aoma time before his death Gen. Hood
baa heep engaged In writing a history or his
lannon's campaigns In the West. which have been
fhe oeeasion Of such diverse criticism North and
ga,,th. but which have always been conceded
10 be brilliant and daring. The General was
induced to undertake this work partly at the
urgent request OF his friends. partly because
he believed 1t to bs duty to give to the South
such facts as he alone possessed Of important
military movements, and partly too, because of
unjust and unRenerous structures upon his &C.
lions INDUCED Ia BY other Southern command
ers who have written books on the campaigns
In the West.
The style OF the book is Indicative Of the man
bold. dashing and incisvs. Facts ase related
as they occurred. more care being given to nc
curacy OF statement and the truth of history
than to rhetorical polish. or nice selection Of
words. Lavish In praise where II Ia deserved.
bic does not hesitate TO censure where censure
~ deserved. The book will probably clear up
many cloudy Ok disputed points In the history
Of the Western army. and will necessarily find
d large sale not only In the South, where the
writer was known and loved for bis noble char
acteristies as soldier and citizen. but In mil
ttarY circles everywhere.
Whatever may DO the ultimate Judgment Of
military critics on Hoods conduct rs q com
lnander, the verdict OF history will be that be
was a born soldier. az dashlng as fearless. and
as devoted as Bayard. IL vas his nature to
be aggressive In war. and with hs very snul np
fin arms he had no patience with the Fabian
policy Of those commanders who advised con-
dnuous retreats. Had his policy been adopted
at an earlier stage OF the war Ia the West the
result m ght have been vastly different
His narrative of the tremendous events OF
which he was the central and commanding
figure. will possess Int ,nse interest, and the
DEMOCRAT would suggest that herein lies an
opportunity of the Southern people TO- testify
their appreciation OF the man and mt the same
time to contribute largely TO the comfort and
we'll being of the large family OF children who
have bsen suddenly bereft OF both parents. and
who. may Justly be regarded rs words Of the
South.
The General finished the manuscript just be-
fore hia death, ard o gentleman friend and con
nection had kindly undertaken to bear the ex-
pense Of its publication. The Appletons we
believe, are to publish the book. and Its price
was to be fixed at % per copy.
Why not let the price ba fxed at $b per copy,
and then have agencies for It's sale astab-
iiHhea Id every city and town tn the South
In this way. 1t occurs to us. that a lHrge fund
may be raised for the orphaned children Of the
dead hero. u fund which. In the years to come.
they may justly regard as a legacy left them by
their father. This form Of assistance we are
sure. would be most gratifying 70 the, friends
and members OF the family. Will not the press
take up and further this idea?
