_THE OFFICIAL WAR MAP--NOW READY_

_HAZARD'S_

_RAILROAD AND MILITARY MAP OF THE SOUTHERN STATES_

Compiled from the most authentic sources, and the United States Coast
Surveys, by the Committee on Inland Transportation of the Board of Trade
of Philadelphia, and superbly engraved in the finest style of map
making.

The information for this map was recently obtained by A PERSONAL TOUR
THROUGH THE SOUTH, as well as by the information given by THE PRESIDENT
OF EVERY RAILROAD; the corrections make it COMPLETE TO THE PRESENT HOUR;
and it gives so recent and such valuable facts concerning all the
Railroads, that the War Department immediately authorized its
publication, and distributed ONE THOUSAND COPIES among the Generals and
Colonels of the Army; that order having been supplied, no further delay
in issuing the map will occur, and subscribers can now be supplied at
the following prices:

In Sheets, Carefully Colored, $1.00
In Sheets, Carefully Colored, in a Neat Cloth Case, 1.50
The Same, Carefully Colored, Mounted on Muslin, Folded, 2.50
Do. Carefully Colored, on Rollers, Varnished, 2.50
Do. Carefully Colored, Beautifully Mounted and
Framed for Office Use, 3.00

Several weighty reasons for purchasing "HAZARD'S RAILROAD AND
MILITARY MAP OF THE SOUTHERN STATES."

1st. It is the official map; and therefore must be the best and the most
reliable, which is everything, particularly at this time when a good map
is of such universal interest. This is the ONLY MAP that has been
officially adopted for Government purposes.

2d. The Coast is so distinct and accurate, it shows every little island
and inlet, and is as correct as the large maps issued by the Coast
Survey Office.

3d. It is very cheap. It is thirty-two by fifty-five inches, and is one
of the best specimens of map engraving ever done in this country.

4th. It presents the whole Southern States at one view, and the
railroads are so distinctly marked as to show at a glance the most
important strategical points.

GENERAL MCCLELLAN has acknowledged in several communications the "_great
importance to his movements of the accurate information in regard to the
Southern Railroads, conveyed in this map_."
