Rh are due and are hereby tendered to friends who have interested themselves in forwarding us new subscriptions or renewals on old ones. But we very much need more work of the same sort. There are hundreds (we believe thousands) who would subscribe to our Papers if their attention were only called to them; and it is surprising how many of our best subscribers allow their names to go off of our list simply because they forget to renew, and have no one to remind them personally of it.

came off in New Orleans on the evening of February 22d, and seems to have been a very brilliant affair. We regret that we were not able to accept the kind invitation to be present. The following are the officers of the Association for the current year:

John B. Richardson, President; A. Brady, First Vice-President; W. R. Lyman, Second Vice-President; A. S. Herron, Third Vice-President; J. Moore Wilson, Fourth Vice-President; L.

Lee shall have added the true story of Fredericksburg and of Chancellorsville.
