We take pleasure in announcing that we
have secured a magnificent serial story from
the pen Of the most popular living writer
for young folks. Upon Col. Knox's shout
ders has fallen the mantle of the late Capt.
Mayne Reid. The Colonel was a gallant
soldier, and in his latest story, written ex-
clusively for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, he
carries two young heroes over ground he
fought upon himself quarter Of a cen
fury ago. The narrative reaches its climax
in the famous battle Of Pea Ridge with
the defeat Of the celebrated Ben McCulloch,
who fell thare, and its horrible butchery of
the Union wounded by the Indians in the
rebel service
The Colonel was wounded in Missouri,
where he saw double service as soldier and
