The September issue (Vol. VI., No. 5) of Publications of the Southern History Association contains one article, entitled “General Sumter and his Neighbors” (to be continued), by Kate Furman. The remainder of the number consists of documents: W. H. C. Whiting's “Dairy of a Texas March,” and the “Journal of Charles Porterfield” are concluded; “Early Quaker Records in Virginia” is continued; and new documents appear under the titles of “Calhoun and Secession,” “The Hero of the Alamo,” and “Reasons Against the Trial of Jefferson Davis.” The first of these new documents is a letter from Calhoun to Judge Collin S. Tarpley, of Mississippi, dated July 9, 1849; under the second title the editor has grouped several letters concerning the expulsion of the Mexican garrison from Anahuac in the summer of 1835 by W. B. Travis; and the third takes the form of a letter from Hon. John H. Reagan to Maj. Geo. W. White, dated November 8, 1865.
