Southern Historical Society Papers.

Contributions to our Archives are as acceptable as ever, and continue to come in from time to time. Since our last acknowledgment we have received among others the following:

From W. H. H. Terrell, Adjutant-General of Indiana (the author)—"Indiana in the War of the Rebellion," being the official report of the part borne by Indiana in the "war between the States." Life and Public Services of Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana.

From H. C. Wall (the author)—"The Pee Dee Guards" (Company D, Twenty-third North Carolina regiment), from 1861 to 1865.

From the Vermont Historical Society—"History of the Saint Albans Raid," by Hon. Edward A. Sowles.

From the author (Napier Bartlett)—"Military Annals of Louisiana" during the late war.

From the author (Dr. R. Randolph Stevenson)—"The Southern Side, or Andersonville Prison."

From the author (Rev. Joseph H. Martin, of Atlanta, Georgia)—"The Declaration of Independence—A Centennial Poem."

From Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati—"C. W. Moulton's reply to Boynton's Review of Sherman's Memoirs."

From John McCrae, Esq., Camden, South Carolina—A complete file of Charleston Daily Mercury, from the 8th of July, 1859, to the 10th of February, 1865, and from the 19th of November, 1866, to the 16th of November, 1868. The Charleston Daily News, from June, 1866, to 5th of April, 1873. Charleston News and Courier, from April 7th, 1873, to November 27th, 1875. Daily South Carolinian, from 1855 to October, 1864, and Daily Columbia Guardian, from November 14th, 1864, to February 15th, 1865. The Southern Presbyterian, from September 11th, 1858, to December 29th, 1865, and from May 7th, 1869, to December 30th, 1875.

These, added to the valuable files received from Mr. McCrae some months ago, constitute a most important addition to our collection, and place the Society under obligations to Mr. McCrae, which are only increased by the courteous manner in which he has made the donations, and the real pleasure which it seems to have afforded him.

From Mrs. C. A. Hamilton, Beaufort, South Carolina—A large collection of war issues of the Charleston and other papers. (The Society is anxious to secure even odd numbers of papers published during the war, as they help to complete our files, and are valuable as duplicates.)

From Major H. B. McClellan, Lexington, Kentucky (formerly of General Stuart's staff)—A package of MSS. containing the following: General J. E. B. Stuart's report of operations of his cavalry, from October 30th, 1862, to November 6th, 1862. An original letter from Major-General John Pope to Major-General Banks, dated July 21st, 1862, enclosing dispatch from Brigadier-General Rufus King, at Falmouth (giving account of his raid on Beaver Dam depot), and ordering Banks to send General Hatch at once to make cavalry raid on Gordonsville, Charlottesville, &c. (This letter was probably found when Stuart captured Pope's headquarters).
