We are not surprised to learn, from the Southern Literary Messenger, that the "History of the War" by Mr. Howison, has greatly increased the circulation of the admirable periodical in which it appears. The author; well known to the public by his history of his native State, is eminently qualified for the task he has undertaken. It is a truthful, reliable, and dispassionate history of this great struggle, perspicuous and elegant in style, and sustaining the State, is eminently qualified for the task he has undertaken. It is a truthful, reliable, and dispassionate history of this great struggle, perspicuous and elegant in style, and sustaining the interest of the mighty narrative with unflagging power. An elegant scholar, a vigorous and graceful writer, and a high-toned Virginia gentleman, it may be regarded as fortunate for the truth of history, for the Southern cause, and the dignity of the subject, that Mr. Howison is a historian of the war.

; sharp, fierce, decisive, real war should now begin. A wise cruelty may "show" the Yankees some things they have not seen before. The late battle have left us this also to show — that our artillery is equal or superior to the Yankees. Stuart, succeeding Jackson, fought our guns at shorter range, I hear, than ever before, and hence the terrible execution. I have mentioned the batteries at Chancellorsville and on our extreme right, their accuracy, precision, and effect.
