From the well-known reputation of the author, W. D. Bickhamn, Esq., as a graphic and vigorous wri ter, and the superior advantages afforded him for obtaining inportant information, we are confident it will prove interesting and valuable to the many whose hopes follow the fortunes of the Army of the Cumberland, and to the few who cherish the history that is now being made.

Mr. BICKHAM accompanied General ROSECRANS through the campaign, and served him as volunteer aide in the great battle. He had, therefore, extraordinary opportunities £; personal observation, and his experience gained in the campaign in Western Virginia, and on the Peninsula with the Army of the Potomac, enabled him to avail himself of those opportunities with the advantage of familiarity with the scenes of war. Is addition to writing out carefully the history of the campaign. and devotes attention to the performances of each brigade in the BICKHAM gives the official reports of the battle of Stone Five great battle.

It shows conclusively, from the most authentic documents, that Emancipation is not only a perfectly safe policy, pecuniarily, socially, and politically, but the only safe policy, The second volume, illustrating the "Results of Slavery," is, of course, largely upon this country, and therefore not less interesting to our people. The voice of the loyal press all over the country is unanimous in bearing testimony to the truthfulness, importance, and per manent value of these books.
