Just published. War telegram marking map of Maryland, District of Columbia, Eastern Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley designed on the grandest scale, 26 by 38 inches, after the latest government maps, and printed in brown oil-color. This map gives, with the utmost distinctness, every inch of ground where the Union forces, under Pope, Burnside, McClellan, Banks, Sigel, &c. &c., are opposed to the Rebels under Stonewall Jackson, Johnson, Lee, Beauregard, and Jeff. Davis. It is designed expressly for the use of a marking map; that is, to follow up the positions of the respective armies with red and blue marking pencils, as the daily war telegrams report the same; to gain by this means an understanding of the whole situation of the opposing forces at a single glance. For schools, no map can be better adapted. ... Price, for single map, 25 cents. Wholesale price, $15 per hundred, sent free of charge to any part of the country, on receipt of the price, in current money, provided the wholesale order is not less than one dozen. Small parcels will be sent by mail, folded up; large parcels, rolled up, by express
