PAPERS ON THE CIVIL WAR.
The important feature of The Century
Magazine for the coming year-indeed,
perhaps the most important ever under
taken by the magazIne-will be series
of separate papers on the great battles OF
the war for the Union, written by gener-
al officers high in command upon both
the federal and confederate sIdes,-Gen-
eral Grant (WhO writes of Vicksburg,
Shiloh, aud other battles). Generals
Longsireet, Mcclellan, Beauregard,
Rosecrans, Hill, Admiral Porter, and
others. The series opens in the Novem-
Der Century with graphically illustra-
ted article on
THE BATTLE OF BULL RUN,
written by the Confederate general, G
T. Beauregard. Brief sketches, entitled
.1Recollections of a Private" papers
chronicling special events, descriptions
of various auxiliary branches of the SER
vice, etc with a supplement of the more
important series by the various generals
A strict regard for accuracy will guide
the preparation of the illustrations, for
which The Century has at its disposal a
very large quantity of photographs,
drawings, portraits, maps, plans. etc {,
hitherto unused. The aim ia to present
in this series, not official reports, but
commanding officers accounts of their
plans and misunderstanding per-
sonal experiences which will record
leading events of the war, and possess. at
the same time, a rhetorical value not
easily to be calculated.

the rise OF an American business man.
