"WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1869.
: John Weal. ,
So many years iaavo; elapsod since Jons
Neai, <if porUaud, wjw an author whoso books
'vera in- all man's hands and wh.oso name wns
upon men’s tongues, that a now work o*
fiction hts pen inuy pa looked upon, In a
as one of tho curiosities of literature.
That, th)s time, he should como before the
public ttvith a ravival. romance of every-day
Ufa dois not surprise us, because we bear in
mind Bmt his sixteenth and latest separate
publication, In the year 1854,was “ <>o Word
Moro,ifalod(!ed tor the Reasoning and Thought*
ful among Unbelievers.”
Jo its, .Neal’s,' qcw work, which may ho
as not
novel, written by a man of genius, who has
lived much end- thought deeply in anil out of
society, is published by TiCKNOn. fi Fielbs, of
Boston, and bails tho title of « True Woman
hood " • It is a serious, rather,than a religious
story, , of tho ,tipe of tho Panic of. 1857-8,
whon there suddenly and slmultaneousiy arose,
throughout tint length and breadth of this
country, what as a Religious Re
vival, , Mr. Nf-ae .places his scene in Now
York, at this nxcltlng ,orap and tho revival
feeling greatly .pervades it., Yot it is not what
one can actually cull a religious novel. Thai
is a sort of hybrid thing, between a sermon
And p story, whilo this is truly a tale whose
incidents .might , have occurred in our own
time, and arc extremely real.
Indeed, one of them, at least, is actual flesh
and blood, for Jlr* Talmadge, who was ligad
of the New York police iu 1857-8, is boldly
an|l bodily introduced—Mr. Is'J.MI., how-cver,
dignifying hiig, after tho fashion of tho New
York press,.(Which loves titles ns dearly ns
Ton Mookh lpvod a Lord,) with tho appclla
.tiomof General Tai.madoe,” though, liko
JlicbaolOasa'o, lm “never ret a squadron in
tho field,” because lio. was General Sitperin
tendont of Police. 011 tho same ground, 110
might spcak.df the Attorney General of tho
Unjted Stated as “ General Black.”
■ , However, Sir.- Neal, has written one of the
best stories of .the day, and lias exhibited true
womanhood-in,the persons of tnoro thnu one
of, his fomnlo characters. Truo manhood,
.ajso, has ho, shown os—William Bayard, tlm
Quaker,, Major pciidlcton, Mr, Fay, tho law
i'bf, and Arthur Maynard, aro true men, each
and all. . f Ro fortunes of ono family run
-through tho -book, and aro intensely, yot not
.excitingly, interesting, Thera is a trial, in
Adj Tow York Court of law, for forgery, running
through several of thp concluding chapters,
which for t patsemblance and reality beats
any previous Imaginative attempt in that lino.
Wo nolico ono slight slip in it: in page 429 a
lawyer is made to say, in 1858, that forgery
was a capital offence in England. Tho fact is
sjhat by. statute H George iv, and I William
•iv, c. 60, all the statutes making forgery a
icapltal oflenco wore repealed, as Mr. Neal
has forgotten, but will find stated in Sbars
wood’a BJackstone, Book Ir. p. 250—an au
thority which every lawyer will admit.
, Mr. NealJu an eameatpreface, says Hint 110
Jias written A now story, at the suggestions of
pressing literary friends,rather than tevise tho
productions of his earlier manhood. Yet,
assuredly the time will' come when hjsjtkJrkA
and
eon " mem, TieSdersot the pre
sent generation, who havo literally sprung up
since Jon*NxiL was q popular and.productive
writor, may thank us for telling them some
thing about his literary career. To many of
them lio is almost a myth: others almost think
him as dead ns Ciumcs Buookuen Bacw.v, (a
handsome edition of whoso novpjs, in six vo
lumes,lms lately been pubiisited by M. Polook,
in this city, which must be noticed in extenso;)
or as completely isolated from tho living race
of literary men by advanced years as separated
old Sam Rogers a long time boioro Ills death.
Tho fact is, John Neal was born in the sarno
year with Jahed Sparks, Prolessor Ldwaßitj
Romssos, Edward Everett, and William
Cullen Bryant. In other words, ho is sixty
six years old, as each of those is, and no mora.
But 110 has been comparatively out of tho lite
rary world—so long out, that wo do not find
his name nor tho title of any one of his works
in Taubnek’s Biographical Guido to American
Lilcrature, which is a classed list of books
published in this country during the last forty
years. It is truo that his first novel, called
“ Keep Cool,” appeared forty-two yoars ago,
but his last, “ Rachel Dyer,” appeared in 1881,
soon alter which ho quitted letters for law, and
retired into forensic practice at Poitland,
where 110 was born, and where ho still resides.
Materials for a literary sketch of Neal aro
abundant. In a.serins of articles upou Ame
rican writers, which ran through lllachcood’s
Magazine iu lb2L-i!o, Mr. Neal freely criti
cised Ids own productions, and gave aoitio free
and-easy autobiographical particulars, which
are amusing and candid to a degreo. lu
Dcycjcinck’b Cyclopaedia of American Litera
ture, there is a good account of Neal*& lito
rary career, And extracts from his writings.
Lastly, in tho forthcoming second and con
cluding volume of Alliuonc’b Dictionary of
English Literature, there will ho an article
ipon Joint Neal, for a proof of which wo aro
indebted to Child*! & Fetuhsos, tho publinh
crs. From these various ami reliable sources
wobha'llicro write a sketch of Mr. Neal’s
authorship.
Ho was 41'Quaker by bii th, and, like many
other eminent men, was wholly self-educated.
Ue attempted to live by coinmorctat pursuits,
ibis I'artuor being Picitroxx, tho poet,) but
that did not answer; so ho studied law, mean-
u-hilo supporting himself by his pen, and also
studying various languages—Latin, French,
Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, &c.
His hist burst into literature was as ft critic 5
his first published production, dashed oil in
tour day?, was a reviow of all tho pootrv oi
Lin'd Byroh, up to tho Third Canto ot Childo
Harold, then just published. This was early
in 1817. The urticlo, long enough to mako a
small volume, was published, month a tier
month, in a Baltimore magazine, called The
Portico. In 1817, appeared Neal’s first novel,
<* Keep Cool,” which, lu tho Blackwoodnotico
'of himself,ho candidly describes as « A paltry,
contemptible uffair \ my second offering to the
public, my first in tho shape of ft book. • * *
Much to tho credit of my country,«Keep Cool’
is forgotten; or, where it is known at all, it is
lookod upon ns a disgrace to her literature—
perhaps to mysolf. lam glad of it.”
Next came “Tho Battle of Niagara,” a
poem of 3,000 lines in heroic verse, published
under the auctortol com de plume of John
O’Cataract. Mr. Neal's own name was on
the title-pago of the second edition, in 1810.
At tho same timo appeared “ Goldan, tho
Maniac Harper,” a narrative poem, with tho
hcmio in Switzerland, ond minor poems. Of
this poetic out-gush Ncal, solf-crillc, saya:
a Works abounding throughout in absurdity,
intemperance, alfoctation, extravagance—with
continual but involuntary imitation 2 yet,
nevertheless, containing altogether more sin
cere poetry—more exalted, original, pure,
bold, poetry—than all tho works of all tho
other authors that have ever appeared In-
America. A volume could be collected out
of the whole'which would contain as much
great poetry as any single volume of this ago.
A few passages aro equal to any poetry that
evor was written —to my knowledge. Cry oat,
if you wiH; say what you will. lVliat I speak
is the truth, It is my honest opinion.”
Othor poems wroto ho, including “Otlio, a
tragedy,besides a mnltltude of essays, criti
cisms, and rovioWa, in tho Telegraph} of which
ho was seeret'editor.,
Nor vfui this tho whole of Neal’s-labor,
no mado.an Index, in 18J8,,for Alice's Regis*
let, which index ho declared to be “ tho mokt
laborious work of the kind perhaps Ip tljo
wdrld, and nbopt a third parfof the large oc

the wkuitj work ing executed by Stein and
li!« friend Dr. "ffiiKiss. Variety being' pro,
vorbially charming, Nsat indulged in it, at
this time, by writing a play called «'Onr
Ephraim.”’ 1 I
In 1821-22, Neal wrote the novels called
“ Logan,” Randolph,” “ Seventy-six,” and
“ Erratafifteen volumes In' le&’ffran ali

bo talson as people take opium; a grain may
exhilarate j more may etnpolV • much will be
death.” The novel of « Randolph” is a 6tory
of its own dato, personal upon public men
then living, which Mr. Nm, characlemos at
“ About an courageous a book' Us over was of
ever will be written ; (hi! of truth—alarmini
tnith—to ihd' fe'eat vu&; It
struck them with consternation. It la s no
vel ; a plausible, well-connected, finely de
veloped novel.” Tho time of “ Seventy-Sii,”
a revolutionary (ale, is indicated by its titled
Neal aaid of it, liimsolf, “ I pronounce this
this to bo one of tho best romances of the
age. *■ • So far as U goes, it is quite a
faithful history of tlio old American war, told
with ; astonishing vivacity.” Tho events of
“Erfata” were presumed to have taken place
In tlio current tlmo. The purpose’ was to
show «that deformity of person dofs not of
necessity imply deformity Of heart; that a!
dwarl'in ataturo maybe a giant in blood;’!
and to dellueato tlio female character moro id
.conformity with human nature than with the
usual conventional typo of tho novelist. Mr}
Nh.it calls the book “A curiosity in litera
ture ; a powerful work; loaded with rubbish;
full of deep Interest nevertheless.” <
Tho republicition of theao four novels iu
England, at a time whon tho Edinburgh'llctini
saucily ’ asked “ Who reads an American I
hook ?” probably induced Mr. Ne.il 1 to visit
London, wbicii ho roached in January, 18241
Ho soon succeeded in getting an engagement
to write for ffluckicood’i ilfugaaine, and we
scarcely err, wo believe, iu attributing to his
facile and forcible pen, as his first
(Vol. XV., May 1824) tho somewhat’slashing
i “ Sketches of tho Five American Prcsi
| dents, and of tho Five Presidential Can}
didates, from (lie Memoranda of, a Travel,
ler.” Some of tho personal sketches here arc
[ so graphic that wo are half inclined to string
together extracts from them into an “outside”
By tho way, tho article headed
“Matthews in America,” in Blackwood lot
April, 1821, has a very Nealioh aspect. It is
writton as by an Englishman, but exhibits
much greater knowledge of this country and
its people than Englishmen possessed, at that
day. Do thoy, with all tho advantages of
steam, reMly know us much better now J
To Mr. Neal we also attribute a very sensi
ble paper, in Blackwood for Juno, 1824, enti
tled “ Speculations of a Traveller concerning
tho People of North America and Great Bri
tain.” It is not much iu his style, but tells
much which none hut a well-informed Ameri
can could know, Mr. Neal, whose forcible
aud fearless expression must have been greatly
to CmtisrofUEa Noam’s taste, continued the
aiioTO “ Speculations” in Blackwood, Vol.
XVI, and also contributed the following pa
pers: “North America—Peculiarities; State
_«fiho;Plno Arts; Paintingin which, by tho
very fino portrait painter,” whose essays in
historical painting “aro quite wonderful,” and
tersely declares that Thomas Smr ia tho Sir
Thomas La whence of America. 2. American
writers continued through in five parts, and
taking tho loading writers or America in aipna
botical order. 8. A Summary View of Ame
rica. 4. Lato American Books. 6. North
American Politics. G. Travelling in America.
Altogether, Mr. Neal wrote for moro than
eighteen months in Blackwood , and sufficient
to make a sizeable 16mo volurno.
Iu England, Neal wrote “Brother Jon
athan,” published in London about 1827. Re
turning to Portland, in that year, lie com
menced a weekly paper called The Yankee,
which ho soon removed to Boston, where It
became merged into tho New England Galaxy.
Back again to Portland, where, in 1528, Mr.
Neal published “ Rachel Dyer”—a story o!
tlie Salem witchcraft—originally written for
Blackwood, accepted, paid for, and withdrawn.
In 18S0, “ Authorship, by a New Englandef |
over tho Sea.” Finally, in 1831, two more
novels, “The Down Easters” and “ Ruth j
Eider.” j
dVliilo in England, Mr. Neal contributed to
other leading periodicals than Bl.icktrood, and,
Mr. Aluiionk tolls us, ho lived for some time
with Jcremt Bentimm, of whom ho wrote
a Memoir, and translated from tho French of
Dumont tho famous utilitarian’s Principles of
Legislation.
Some years ago, ho announcod a History rf
American Literature. In a letter to Mr. Al
libone, who kindly allows ns to quote from it,
Mr. Nkal writes:
“ I have been a contributor to journals, papers,
and magazines, nt homo and abroad, for ibiriy-rix
years, amongwhieb are The Portico, Journal of the
■time* and 'Jclegrapb, Analectio Magazine, North
American Review, New York COuriernml Enquirer,
New York Mirror, Brother Jonathan. Ladies’Com
iivuion, New England Galaxy, most of the animals,
ibiokwood, Tbo Westorn Review, Colburn’s New
Monthly, Tho European, British and Foreign, Far*
tain's and Graham's Magazines, and many other?
not now recollected. I have wholly edited The Te
legraph, of BnHimore, and tho Brother Jonathan,
of Now York, and helped edit many others long
euoush to have thorn sink or atop. Your p*an J of
tho Dictionary of English Ltioraturo and British
and Amoricau author*) is excellent; and I hope
thin answer may servo your turn. It would bo
quUo impossible for mo to remember all I have
written, c\cn where I hn\u no reason 10bo ashamed
of it—haung published vrhnt would amount. I
should think, to a hundred octavo volumes, at least,
on subjects far too numerous to mention.'*
Such is John Neal, who has just published
St True Womanhood,” not exactly a religious
novel. Thoroughly imbued with religious feel
ing without sectarianism, it has ««bet forth
what Truo Womanhood is equal to,'and capa
ble of; under some of tho most trying circum
stances of life.”
Melancholy Oasdamt.—The Harrisburg Pa

tho death of J. Ott Rocksfellow, Esq., well known
throughout the Btato as an extensive contractor of
public works, which wo announced yestorday:

• Col. Omit, who w« an old and intiranto friend

Yisn to Joax Brown by an Old Neighbor.—
The Brio (Pa.) True Amtrit.zr- publishes along
nirrativo of tho visit of Mr. Morrow B. Lowry, of
that place, to John Brown. Mr. Lowry says:
<* Sooa after the Hsrper’a Ferry invasion, it waa
rumored among us that its leader, John Brown,
was the Bame Mr. Brown who gome twenty-five
yeat3 ago mided in Crawford county, Pennsylva
nia. I eoou becamo porsuadod that the rumor was
correct, and that, instead of the stranger I had
supposed, he was an old and much-respected
friend. As roou as I was convinced of this. I felt
that it was due to the old m&n, and to my old
friendship for him, to visit him ia hi# prison,
and bear to him tho salutations of his old neigh
bors in Northwestern Pennsylvania. I hare just
rntumed, basing seen the misguided but honest
old man, and brought & message from him. It is
this, given to mo as tho door was cloriog betwoen
us : • Bay to those I without 1 am cheerful."*
li I obtained, before leaving, a letter from the
Adjutant General of our State, and was well armed,
in addition, with letters to Gov. "Wise, Senator
Mason, Andrew Hunter, Col 'Washington, and
others, from friends in Philadelphia and Balti
more. I informed for tho first time when I
reached Philadelphia that all Northerners who
had beou Identified as friends of Brown had been
warned from tbo State, pad that the country about
Charlestown was under martial law, and I was
stioogly warned not to venture any further on my
journey.
“ Mr. Brown did not, at first, recognise me, but
on my giving my name, greeted tna oordirily and
gratefully. Tie «aid therowera many whom he
ad hoped to lee, whom ho had not seen, but he
had not expected to t>ea any of hie old Crawford
county friends. He alluded to Crawford as being
.very dear to him, « it* wil was hallowed as the
resting-place of his former wife and two beloved,
children, and the right of any one from that.region'
was most cheering. I cannot pretend to give his

New Tors. Not. 28. 1859.
The Reoabllotns are urging the ejection cf Hr.
Ordyke, for mayor; not that they expect to eUot
hire, but because they hope to draw eff sufficiently
from tbe Tammany nominations to defeat Mr.
Uavemcyer and elect Fernando Wood. The point
i< to beat Tammany, to disorganise the* regular
Democratic orgsolntioa, and tie# to Introduce
elements of discord into the Charleston Convention.
They argue that Mr. Wood!* in case of success
will fill up his delegation to the National Conven
tion, present himself and forces, knock at the door
and demand admission, on the ground that he re
presents the true Democracy; that the nominees
of Tammany were FreeaoUers in ’4B and Fremont*
era in *sB, and if he and Ms friends are not ad
mitted and recognised that Tammany wUf again be
beaten, and the election of a Democratic President
placed to Imminent jeopardy in iSfiO. Should Mr.
Wood succeed io Ms present canvtis, it will give
him a commanding position in the approaching
national con’est. Of coarse, the Republicans
would much rather see Mm \n;the mayor’s chair,
a# the head of a eucce&fn! rebellion, than Mr.
Hav«meyer,or the bast man in Christendom. They
know that the Democratic party in the State of
New York, without the city of New Yotk, has no
-haneo of success, and without New York no Do»
rao:ratcan bo elected President. This is the Re
publican programme, which I write merely for the
