cribers whose time has expired. Ask your neighbor if he has renewed, and urge him to do so. If each one of our subscribers would send us a new name, or induce one of our old subscribers to renew, we should be under obligations. Will you not try to do this at once? General Stephen D. Lee writes us, after the form containing his article had been printed and consequently too late to make the change, that he desired the figures given in General Forrest's report, published in our January number, substituted for the report of his loss, which he took from General Jordan's Forrest and his campaigns. General Forrest says: The killed and wounded of the enemy who fell into our hands amount to over one hundred * * * and one hundred and sixty-two prisoners * * *; and it is but reasonable to suppose, and a low estimate to place, their loss in killed, wounded and missing at eight hundred. The Lee monument Association has done the secretary of the Southern Historical Society the

General Lee to the rear --the incident with Harris' Mississippi brigade. We take great pleasure in publishing the following detailed account of the incident which occurred with Harris' gallant Mississippians on the 12th of May, 1864, and to which we briefly alluded in our paper in the January number as being (alike with the scene with the Texans in the Wilderness, and that with Gordon's division at Spotsylvania) well authenticated : Letter from General N. H. Harris.Vicksburg, August 24th, 1871. Colonel Charles S. Venable, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va.: Dear Sir — I am about to trespass upon your kind attention in a matter which may seem at first entirely personal, but the contrary will appear to you after a full and complete statement of my object and wishes. You will recollect, Colonel, that on the morning of the 12th of May, 1864, my brigade (Mississippi), having double-quicked from the left of our lines, was halted on the Court-house road, near Spo

ticed: The Southern Historical Society has undertaken the careful publication of whatever is to be found of prominent military importance. The truly interesting, masterly edited organ of the association, the Southern Historical Society Papers, publishes amongst other things the hitherto unknown original reports of the Southern Generals, which are to be distinguished by a regard for truth which has not been a special characteristic of trans-Atlantic reports. Among other articles in the January number, 1879, is to be found an address which Colonel Allan (formerly Ordnance Officer of Jackson's staff), basing his views upon official documents and his personal experience, delivered before the last annual meeting of the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, which I find so entertaining and instructive that I venture, holding fast to that lecture as a text, but invoking also my personal acquaintance with the leading actors, and my practical knowledge of the field of operations

uted to Harris's Mississippi brigade, and that the defence was made by Lane's North Carolina brigade. The source or manner of his information he does not state, but advises by all means the publication of General Lane's official report. In the January number, 1877, page 19, appears the official report of Brig.-Gen'l J. H. Lane, accompanied by statements of several officers of his brigade. In the February number, 1877, page 82, is an extract from A soldier's story of the War, by Napier Bartleregiments, and retired to the inner lines running from battery forty five to the Appomattox river. This statement of facts is made as brief as possible, and I will now review the statements made by General Lane and others. General Lane says, January No., 1877, page 22, Harris' brigade formed on my right, &c. This is an error, for when I moved forward and took position on the Plank road, as above described, there were no troops of any kind either to my right or left. Again, same page, tha

Remember our terms are strictly cash in advance, and we will not send our January number to any one who has not paid his subscription, or at least notified us that he will do so very soon. The subscrcost of binding, and they paying postage and express both ways. Our next volume (Vol. IX.), which begins with the January number, shall not, in interest or historic value, fall behind any of those which have gone before. Indeed we are proposing new features which will add to its interest and value, and which will be more fully announced in our January number. A monument to the Ashby brothers is proposed to be erected in the Stonewall Cemetery at Winchester, and we most cordially she Executive Committee, as well as to the general meetings of the Society. The committee will have a meeting early in January--due notice of time will be given — at which various matters of interest to the future plans and work of the Society wil
