TIRE TREASON OF MAJOR OEN. CHARLES
On the 224 June, 1858, Mr. George 11. Moore,
Librarian of the Now York Hiatorleal Society, read
a paper before the Society, a etting forth what ho
denounced as "the Treason of Charles Leo, Major
General in the American Army of the Revolution."

he possessed too important to be withheld during
the time necessary for the preparation of the
extended biography. Accordingly, he has brought
out his prima fans case against Lee, in a thin 00.
tavo, illustrated with two portraits, and fao similes
of Lee's "original plan of Treason," with a letter
to General Gates, written by Lee, just be
fore his capture by the British, in December 1776.
The handwriting Is apparently the same in each,
Independent of the British endorsement, "Mr.
Lee's Plan, 29th March, 1777." And, assuredly, it
Lee did write that Plan, addressed to the British
commander, and almost miraculously preserved

such evidence, must find the bill of indictment.

Washington, when the War broke out, being
greatly piqued at not being appointed Commander
in-Chief. Ho then resigned his British commission
of Lieut-Colonel whtoh he had hold to 'that time,
and his half-pay. Thence, until his capture by
the British while tarrying in the interior of New
Jersey, Leo acted as a gallant men, but lent him

At last, the British took Lee a prisoner, brought
him to New York in January, 1777, and

him as a traitor to George 111., and amenable to
Britiah military law as a deserter. Finally, it was
conceded Cleat he should be treated as a prisoner of

liberty In Now York city, on parole. In Allay,

badly at Monmouth ; was sharply reprimanded by
Washington, on the battle field, fora shameful and
unnecessary retreat; wrote insulting letters to
Washington, for which and for misconduot before

verdict of a Court-martial, which Congress con.
firmed, and the public, approved; quitted the
army; and died in Philadelphia, October 2d,

Lee's handwriting, and endorsed by Henry Stra

era, Lord and Sir William Howe. That plan plain
ly betrayed the American cause, and showed, the
British bow best to act offensively against it. Nor
is this all,—it reads as a volunteered offer, a willing
treason. Nay, more—it undoubtedly influenced
Rowe's southern movement, which was_ Lee's pro
posal. Only, distrusting the double traitor, they
adopted his advice only in part, and therefore
failed.
SATINETS.
We have only glanced at the main points of Mr.
Moore's most Interesting volume. It is published,
in a very handsome manner, by Scribner, of New
York.
PANTALOON STUFFS.
We have received, in advance, proof-sheets of
Dr. J. W. Palmer', translation of Michelet's new
work "La Femme," which has made even mere
excitement in Paris than did his celebrated
" L'Amour," of which It is a oonolusion, at any
rate, a continuation. It will be published, next
week, by Rudd b Carlton, of New York. It is a
more readable book than its predecessor, and does
not touch upon two aubjeots—adultery and prosti
tution—which were eonsidered objectionable in the
former volume. "La Femme" consists of All In.
troduotion and three Parts. In the Introduction
aro discussed the questione Why people do not
marry—the Female Operative—the Woman of Let.
tars—and No life for Woman without Man. The
other parts treat of Education, Woman In the Fa
luny, and Woman in Society. All through, Miche•
let pleads for Woman, for the amelioration of her
condition, for the cultivation of her mind, for her
eltuation In life being equalised with that of Man,
who, to be sure, does sometimes 111-use her terra
bly. Miebelet's comments on education, which Is
chiefly the mother's loving duty, are eloquent,
thoughtful, and truthful. The nettles of Woman
in Society are very much In the French manner•
The beet of the book is that which shows Woman
in the Family. This is simple, earnest, and very
true. It philosophises upon palpable facts. Com
paring Michele's "Woman" with his "Love,"
we give the decided preference to the former. It
Is a little lees plain•apoken, but loses nothing by
that. The translation of this second book, too, Is
at once more faithful and spirited than was that of
the first. Over 30.000 copies of " Love" have been
sold in this country, and we should not be sur
prised at learning that " Woman" has yet u more
extended circulation.
MRS. UOWE'S "TRIP TO CUBA."
Oddly enough, the best recent books upon Cohn,
those wbioh show us the people as well as the coun
try, have been published by Ticknor k Fields, of
Boston. One is "To Cuba and flack," by the
younger Dana, author of "Two Years before the
Mast;" the other, which has just been issued, Is
"A Trip to Cuba," by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.
author of " Passion Plowers" and other poetry,
A portion of Mrs. Ilowe'm book has appeared In
the Atlantic Monthly. Considerable additions are
made now, and some new chapters add to Its com
pleteness. What snakes the value of this volume,
over and above the correotness of its details, is the
fine womanly feeling which pervades it. Above all,
Mrs. Howe sketches domestic life In Cubans It has
never before been exhibited. Men see but the
surface of such things. Women take closer and
better views. There is one chapter here, upon
Cuban slave laws and Institutions, which was to be
looked for, its a matter of course, In a volume
written by a Boston lady. There are some pretty
strong assertions here—particularly one, to the
effect that the author sees a future for the Afri
can race, educated by the enslavement which
must gradually ameliorate, and slowly die out."
She says: Wo see that In countries where the
black men aro many, and the white few, the white
will one day disappear, and theists& govern," and
adds that " In South Carolina, for example, the
tide of emigration has carried westward the
flower of the white population," and that many of
the aristocratic familloa there have their mulatto
representatives, who bear their names, and " there
are oven mulatto representatives of extinct families,
who alone keep from oblivion names which were
ones thought honorable " Despiti the extrava
forme of this parenthetical chapter, Mrs. Howes'
" Trip to Cohn" is well worth perusal : its Inoi
dents aro not extraordinary, but its descriptions
are easy, graphic, and even picturesquo
In a few days, Appleton d: Co., of New York, will
publish livery peculiar volume, entitled " Dr. Old

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Disunion Saddled on the Pulpit.
After all the charges that have been made against
the people of the North of fostering sentiments
hostile to the Union, it is not surprising that the
pulpit and religious press should coals in for their
share of abuse. Nor is it at all remarkable that this
charge should emanate from the 'Tory class it Is
aiming to assail. The following, from the Tansies.
see Baptist, will explain our meaning. The wri
ter says: " In our feeble judgment, the pulpits
and the religions papers in the North are the prin'
ctpal causes of all the agitations North and South
upon this subject. They create a morbid fuel
clam in the public mind, and they butte their fana
tical devotees to arm for insurrection, and snuff the
blood of civil war. They prepare the public mind
North to be operated upon by all political dema
gogue' who could otherwise do nothing."
The dubious compliment is here paid of making
the pulpit and the religious press—in other words,
the ministers of the Gospel north of Mason and
Dixon's line—a sort of John the Baptist to pave
the way for political demagogues! That this
charge is as unjust no it le reckless in Its terms,
will be seen at a glance. Never, since we have
been a free people, hag the pulpit of Philadelphia
resounded with so many bold, conservative Gospel
appeals in behalf of the rights of our brethren of
the South, and the duty of all good chime to
cherish by their every act the perpetuation of our
glorious Union, as within the past three months.
If there have been any inflammatory appeals of
an opposite character they have been • con
temptible exception, and not the rale. We
hope the lucubrating of the Tennessee Baptist
belong to the some unpopular category. What
we have said of the Pulpit of Philadelphia—and
the same, we believe, might be said of the North
generally—applies with equal forge to her religion'
press, from which the tincture of Abolitionism was
never more effectually excluded than at the pre
sant time. But this is, after all, but smother non-
Intercourse dodge; for in the same article the edi
tor, in emulation of his brother of the Southern
Confederacy, cells upon the people of his section
to decide whether they will continue to sustain
certain religious papers of the North. We
shall probably next see this "child of light," pro
thing by the superior wisdom of his brother of the
world, publishing another "White and Black
list" of Northern religions papers, which will
probably be followed (should the enterprise pay)
With a list of our churches, with their complexions
arranged in inch • manner as not to mislead the
unwary into hoterodoxieel surroundings in select
ing places of worship. Efforts of this character are
suiAciently diabolical In such unprincipled rene
gades as the editor of the Southern Confederacy,
but their introduction into religions journalism
would be still more reprehensible; and we are
glad to see, therefore, that, instead of this sec-
Gomel feeling really existing, there never
wee a more friendly state of things between
the Church North and South than at the present
moment. In proof of this we may state that, with
in a very brief period, several of our chnreheibave
called to their pulpits gentlemen from the South
Rev. Henry A. Wise, rector of St. Mary's Church,
West Philadelphia, Rev. James Brooke, of the Ad
vent, and Rev. hterriwether Winston, pastor of
the Fifth Baptiet Church, are instances in point.
In addition to these, a number of standing cells
are now open for acceptance. As late as Monday
of the present week, tho First Baptist Church,
Brooklyn, by unanimous vote, extended a call to
the Rev. Dr. Burrows, of Richmond, Va., to be
come their pastor.
And now, In view of all the cireumstances, what
must we think of the man who would by his venal
pen poison the bond which unites all mho are Indy
Christians in love all over our country, from the
remotest East to the most distant South and the
sands of the Pacific , What? Why, that if he
assumes to be a Christian teacher, in any capacity,
he has most egregiously mistaken his calling, and
should at once, from setting himself up as a leader,
bide his head among the demagogues for whose
welfare he seems to bo so deeply concerned.
ItEV. JOHN LXVIRPRII, D. D., EDITOR OP rue
PR es aTT entAN.—A Philadelphia correspondent of
the Bridgeton Chronicle, under date of January
31st, pays the following tribute to Dr. John Ley
burn, of this city. Dr. L. is the chief writing edi
tor of the Old-School Presbyterian paper here—a
post which he fills with marked ability and great
aceeptanoo to his readers, and ranks among the
most gilled and popular of our pulpit orators. The
chief excellence of the following complimentary
paragraph is that it Is well deserved :
" Dr. Leyburn has been a resident of this city
for many years, occupying an office as secretary
for one of the boards of his church until ghost
eight years ago, when he became associate editor
and proprietor of The Pre.bytereate, the highly
respectable organ of the Old School. It seems to
um he has mistaken his calling here ; not that he
has not fair qualifications for an editor's chair, but
that he is pre-eminently qualified for the preach
ing of the Gospel. Be often preaches, howeier.
and has been heard to say that be prefers so doing
at tenet once a week. His sermons are almost

preacher that he claims especial nodes. With a
voice of silver tone, he unites • readiness and
fluency of delivery that is seldom if ever sur
passed. Language pours itself forth In a eon.
tinuous stream. Thera is a nonchidanoe about
hie style often approaching the common
and familiar, but its simplicity is perfectly
natural. Ills position as en editor affords him
many advantages for acquiring knowledge. His
memory is a well-filled storehouse, from which be
may at ell times dratf at sight, whether it be a fact
of history, a gem of poetry, an inference, or - an
aphorism. For many years he labored as an evan
gelist in the more Southern States, amongst a pace•
pie of far less intelligence than now wait upon his
ministrations. Here he must have acquired that
happy faculty for extemporaneous speaking in
which he excels. The Rev. Dr. Tyng, of New
York, well known as one of the eide't extempore
preachers in the land, ascribes his succ ess to his
having devoted the early years of his ministry to
missionary labor among the slaves of the South
" Dr. Leyburu is small denture and of frame,
but has a large and well.developed brain. His
forehead is high and prominent. indicating a
well-conditioned state of the reflective organs.
His propensity for witty remark is great, but always
within the bounds of strict decorum.
" I have said that Dr. Leyburn often preaches,
although he hes no settled charge. To this I be
lieve that he is moved by a sincere desire to do
good, for his services are tendered without money
and without price, and where they are most
needed."
PREACHING TO THE FIREMEN —We learn that in
several of the fire companies' hells, where stated
religious meetings have been held during the last
two years, under the auspices of the Young Men's
Christian Association, preaching services are be
ing introduced as often as convenient. This course
le highly commendable, and it is certainly much
much more in harmony with the licapal plan to
preach the Word to the unbelieving, before urging
them to meet together to call upon llim in prayer
in whom they do not believe We may state, in
this connection, that the Rev. T. J. Shepherd,
pastor of the Buttonwood-street Presbyterian
Church, will preach in the hall of the United
States Engine Company, corner of Wood and
Crown IGreoln, to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon, at
4 o'clock Mr. Shepherd is a faithful and effee•

Stephen Whitney, the. wealthiest man In New

at noon. Ills illness v..is Namely known. He
was one of our oldest auorehenta, aid leaves an
estate variously estimated at from BiS to eight mil
lions of dollars. lie leaves three daughters and
one son, with whom ha is sold not to have been on
those terms that each ties of consanguinity gene
rally beget. lie was no spendthrift. Indeed, his
economical habits were proverbial throughout the
city. Nothing is known as to the disposition made
of his vast estate. In politics he was a Democrat•
At the late State election he was called upon to con
tribute a moderate amount for party purposes, but
declined on the ground of being opposed to the prac
tice of giving money for political purposes At the
same time he volunteered to go up to Tammany
Hall in the evening, and do his share of polling
votes!

degree of excitement among the young Athenians
Our Albany legislators are at fever heat, on the
absorbing question of the Denton, the Pro iteta
Railroad Freight Bill. The Bpeakerof the Rouse,
on Tuesday last, made the distinct charge, that a
member of the House had written a letter to
New York inviting the use 0f,E100,004 by railroad
companies to defeat de bill. That letter had been
exhibited on Wall street, and was the authority
on which he made the statement. There is no
doubt that the lobby, and certain members of both
booms, are pressing the bill with pertioacity, in
expectation of being bought off at high figures.
The effect of the measure would be to destroy a
goodly portion of the freight business of the Cen
tral and Erie roads. It requires no stretch of the
imagination to believe that those roads would not
pay liberally if its defeat could be assured. But
there's the rub. Thero are so many who demand
to bo " seen," and the figures are so portly, that
it might be ruinous to pay the demanded swindle
A day or two will decide the matter

"iv.—A melancholy affair occurred on board the
steamer Palmy Befits, during her trial-trip from
Neu Orleans to tide port. Among tbe deck Pas
tenger* were a woman and her child. a boy of
about two and a half yeah of age. who bad taken
passage at New Orleans for Lbainilli, The
women had recently been, repented from her bus
band, and the circumstance seemed to weigh ma
her mind to such an extent at times, that she was In
a frenzy of excitement. What were the reamers for
the separation could not be ascertained, but the
woman war well dressed, as was also the child, and
ele• was evidently-an American. While the boat
was a short distance above Helena, on TneadaT,
the woman was observe]. Atudiag oa the enrol
of the boat, bolding her • little son by the
band, rasing Into the muddy waters of
the stream with en anxious leek. As she
seemed to be quiet, bat little attentlan
was paid her. All of a sudden she was SbeeiTed
to clasp bar ebUd in bee arms,- and, aftee kissing it
frantinally and .li.lanoing upward, threw the little
fellow'into the river and jumped alter hint. The
boat was promptly, stopped. the yawl Isunebed,
named, and knitted after . the unhappy mother
and her child. After considerable effort they ware
rescued in a senseless condition and taken on
board. The ladles in the cabin took thus in
charge, and endeavored to store them to semi
°einem. As regards the little boy they tacceeled,
but all efforts to revive the poor mother were una
vailing—her spirit had fled ! A parse was mad*
up for the little ;boy by the gentlemen on board.
and It was said that Captain Dualism would adopt
him as his own. All ingalitea ma to the name of
the unfortunate woman were fruitless. Has body
