A GREAT NATIONAL WORK. 
Something for every Citizen, every Fireside, every 
Reader. 
THE ONLY CORRECT AND COMPLETE HISTORY OF 
THE WAR. 
On Wednesday, August 21st, will be published, the first 
number of a great popular national work, of inestimable 
value to all, viz: the 
SOUTHERN REBELLION 
AMD THE 
WAR FOR THE UNION. 
A History of the Rise and Progress of the Rebellion, and 
consecutive nanative of events and incidents, from the first 
stages of the treason against the Republic, down to the close 
of the conflict, together with the important documents and 
extracts from remarkable speeches. 
lu Weekly fi»arts 5 3*2 Pages, large Svo. 
Price 10 Cents. 
The want of an authentic and thorough History of the Re¬ 
bellion, for present reference and future preservation, is the 
subject of general remark. No work of that nature has yet 
been offered to the public, and all who wish for information 
are compelled to grope through the mazes of the rumors, re¬ 
ports, dispatches, letters and editorials of the daily newspa¬ 
pers, to precipitate , from its confused columns, the great 
facts and incidents of the struggle for the Union. 
To meet this want, and to produce a work of permanent 
value asivell as of present interest , the publisher has arranged 
for the issue of the history as above set forth—in a form and 
at a price which shall render it acceptable to all. 
This history will tell the Story as it is, giving a clear, 
consecutive narrative of the entire movement, including all 
the incident? and events in their exact order, and containing 
the important documents and extracts from remarkable 
speeches. It will not be a mere diary, nor a mere enumera¬ 
tion of dry and naked dates, nor a compilation of slips from 
newspapers, but will portray in connected and interesting 
narrative, the revolutionary steps, as well as the measures of 
the Government. 
It will thus prove desirable, available, and satisfactory to 
every citizen, every family, every otlice, and is given to the 
public in the full assurance that it will command the appro¬ 
bation of every good citizen in onr still Glorious Land. 
To be had of all newsdealers, postmasters and booksellers 
everywhere.
