HARPER'S PICTORIAL HISTORY

OF

THE GREAT REBELLION

IN

THE UNITED STATES.

MESSRS. HARPER & BROTHERS are now prepared to commence the regular issue of the Numbers of this important NATIONAL WORK, to the Literary and Artistic preparations for which many months of labor have been devoted. These are now so far advanced that the Publishers are warranted in promising that this work will be a thorough, careful, and impartial History of the War; based upon a laborious collection and comparison of all accessible materials.

Numbers I. and II. are now printed Numbers III. and IV. will be ready in a short time. These four Numbers are a fair specimen of the character and execution of the whole work. Succeeding Numbers are in such a state of forwardness that the Publishers will be able to issue them regularly and rapidly.

(Previous Page) near Winchester, in March, with rather indifferent success. But his pursuit of Banks down the Shenandoah Valley was very successful, and infused some heart into the rebel cause. Again, in June, his attack on McClellan's right wing at Mechanicsville helped his fame among his people. At Cedar Mountain his design showed skill, but the steady courage of Banks's troops foiled his purpose.

When Lee invaded Maryland Jackson commanded a corps under him, and it was he who forced the little garrison of Harper's Ferry to surrender. He fought at Antietam, and again at Fredericksburg, but the glory of the latter victory was of course appropriated by his superior, General Lee.

It is beginning to be doubted whether Jackson really possesses claims to the reputation he enjoys. Some of our officers seem to think he is nothing more than a lucky soldier and a good disciplinarian.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

A Reliable Article for Domestic Use!

ANDREWS' YEAST POWDER has been in constant use for twelve years, and is the most useful compound for the immediate raising of BREAD, TEA BISCUIT, PANCAKES, &c., and ready for use "in one minute!"

The quality of this Yeast Powder is never changed, and where used has given the greatest satisfaction. Our sales are half a million cans per annum, and the certificate of PROF. CHILTON, of its purity and healthfulness, accompanies each label; also, full directions for use. Sutlers to the Army say it is the "most reliable" and "convenient" preparation ever made, and is "indispensable" where lightness of bread and digestibility are required. Ask for ANDREWS' "EXCELSIOR" Yeast Powder, and use no other, if you want "THE BEST" Manufactured and sold wholesale by   THOMAS ANDREWS & CO., 136 and 138 Cedar St., New York.

NUMBER I.,

Which is introductory to the whole work, gives a history of the Colonization of the country which became the United States; a condensed sketch of the War of the Revolution, showing that Independence was won by the United Colonies, not by separate ones; that from the first we were a NATION in fact, though not in form; and that we never attained prosperity until a NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, not a mere Confederacy, was formally inaugurated. This is followed by a full narration of the Slavery Question, of the Compromises which grew out of it, and of the various infractions of these by fanatics and zealots on both sides; an account of the rapid rise of a Secession Party, consequent upon the election of Mr. Lincoln, and the feeble measures of Mr. Buchanan; closing with the formal Secession of South Carolina, which fairly opened the War.—This Number contains the following

HOSTETTER'S

CELEBRATED

STOMACH BITTERS.

Common sense tells us that unless the stomach is kept in good working order, the system, to which it supplies the elements of the blood, can not be vigorous and healthy. Nothing has yet been discovered or invented that so effectually and invariably cures and prevents imperfect digestion as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Dyspepsia, flatulence, oppression after eating, and the feeling so often described by the sick as an "all-gone" sensation, are removed in a few days by the use of this most healthful of all stimulants. No one, however feeble, need fear it, for it contains no fiery ingredient. It excites neither the circulation nor the brain. On the contrary, its effect is genial and soothing. It promotes sleep as well as restores the energy of the digestive powers, and may be taken not only without danger, but with a certainty of the most desirable results by the feeblest lady invalid.
