COMPANY A, FREMONT’S BODY QUARD. ~ Tux title of this fine story implies its character. It is a very exciting novel of the war in the Osage country, in which the author has introduced the rebel General Price and other characters, as well as a Delaware Indian, who plays a leading part in the incidents. The ruin and desolation which has overtaken go many families—so happy as to be Unionists, and so unhappy as to be placed on that border ground, overrun by the rebels—is here faithfully portrayed. Murder on the threshold, a slain wife, a sister carried away captive, suspense, . fear, all the anguish of a brother’s and a lover’s mind under such cireumstances, concur to stir the reader’s heart with sympathy. There is also a spirited socount of the celebrated “Charge of the Body Guard,” under that splendid officer, Zagonyi, which has a right to be authentic, for the writer was, himself, one of the glorious few, and is still suffering from the wounds which he received in his country’s cause.
