receipts for the current year are as large as they have been the past year (and we have every reason to believe they will be much larger) we can easily meet all of our obligations, and have money in the treasury. But we still desire to enroll additional life members, and to secure a list of new subscribers in every section. We beg our friends to help us.
Want of space compels us to leave out of this number General Lane's report of Gettysburg, a letter from Colonel J. B. Walton, Chief of Artillery of Longstreet's Corps, and other papers which we are obliged to put off.
Books Received.
We acknowledge the receipt of the following books, which we propose to notice so soon as we can find room:
The Blockade Runner. By Capt. Wilkinson, Confederate States Navy. New York: Sheldon & Co. A book of deep interest and great value.
Four Years with Lee. By Colonel Walter H. Taylor, A. A. G. of the Army of Northern Virginia. New York: D. Appleton & Co. A book of rare historic value, and which settles the question of relative numbers engaged in all of the great battles of the two armies.
"Thirty-Four Years." By John Marchmont. Spartanburg, S. C.: R. & J. H. Bryce. A new novel whose scene is laid in the South. A good plot well sustained.
From A. S. Barnes & Co., (through R. L. DeLea, agent, Richmond,) Mahan's Civil War, Barnes' Brief History of the United States, Historical School Reader, History of England.
