MAUD OF THE MISSISSIPPI:

or, GEN. GRANT'S SPY.

THE MOST EXCITING NARRATIVE NOW OUT, BEING THE ACCOUNT OF THE THRILLING ADVENTURES OF MISS PAULINE D'ESTRAYE While serving as Gen. GRANT'S Spy, during the Vicksburg Campaign. The only and well-beloved child of a wealthy French Exile, PAULINE was devoted by her father on his death-bed to the Glorious Cause of the Union. And how faithfully the heroic girl kept the vow she murmured to her expiring parent, as his fast-failing arms wrapped her in the American Flag, was attested by her splendid deeds during Gen. McCLELLAN'S Campaign. Not content with that, however, PAULINE determined to still further serve the cause of her adopted country; this time under the direction of General GRANT, The Hero of Vicksburg!

We have gotten this Book up in the most elegant manner, with SPLENDID AND ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS, And a Richly-Colored Cover.

The most striking feature of which is the scene where Maud Passes the BELCHING BATTERIES of Vicksburg! IN A PECULIAR BOAT OF HER OWN DESIGN.

Army Booksellers, Sutlers and Peddlers should furnish themselves with this great book at once.

Single copies, or several copies, mailed promptly to any address, post paid, on receipt of 25 cents per copy.
