Statement of General J. D. Imboden.
It touches on points which we have already discussed, and anticipates some others which we shall afterwards give more in detail.
But it is a clear and very interesting narrative of an important eye-witness; and we will not mutilate the paper, but will give it entire in its original form:
Richmond, Va., January 12th, 1876. General D. H. Maury, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Southern Historical Society:
General — At your request I cheerfully reduce to writing the facts stated by me in our conversation this morning, for preservation in the archives of your society, and as bearing upon a historical question — the treatment of prisoners during our late civil war, which it seems certain politicians of the vindictive type in the North, led by a Presidential aspirant, have deemed it essential to their party success to thrust upon the country again in the beginning of this our centennial year.
It is to be hoped that after a laps

History of the army of the Cumberland.
By Chaplain Van Horne. published by Robert Clark & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. Review by General D. H. Maury.
The History of the Army of the Cumberland follows hard upon Sherman's Memoirs of his own life and campaigns, and differs from that work as widely as the character and nature of the commander of the Army of the Cumberland differed from that of the General of the Army.
The publication of General Sherman is not without its value of a procreative schapter, made up of official letters, orders and dispatches in support of the narrative contained in the chapter, and he generally adopts the statement of our generals as correct regarding the numbers of their forces.
On the whole we heartily approve and commend this book, and if all the generals had historians like Chaplain Van Horne it would be better for their fame, and greatly facilitate the labors of the future historian of the war. Dabney H. Maury, Major-General late Confederate Army.

Van Dorn, the hero of Mississippi. Major General Dabney H. Maury.
General Earl Van Dorn was, in the opinion of the writer, the most remarkable man the State of Mississippi has ever known.
My acquaintance with him began in Monterey, in the fall of 1846.
He was aide-de-camp then to General Persifor F. Smith and was one of the most attractive young fellows in the army.
He used to ride a beautiful bay Andalusian horse, and as he came galloping along the lines, with his yellow hair waving in the wind, and his bright face lighted with kindliness and courage, we all loved to see him. His figure was lithe and graceful, his stature did not exceed five feet six inches, but his clear blue eyes, his firm set mouth, with white strong teeth, his well cut nose with expanding nostrils, gave assurance of a man whom men could trust and follow.
No young officer came out of the Mexican war with a reputation more enviable than his. After the close of that war he resumed his duties and position i
