SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1864 The Worth American Review. The North American Review was commenced in May, 1816, by William Tudor, who conducted it for two years. It was edited by Jared , Sparks, from Nay, 1817, to March, 1818, inclusive rby Edward T. Charming, from May, 1818, to (Voter, 1818, inclu sive; by Edward Everett, from January, 1820, to October, 1823, inclusive; again by Jarod 'Sparks, from January, 1624, to .aprli, 1830, inclusive; by Alexander IL Everett, from July, 1838, to October, 1836, inclusive ; by John G. Palfrey, from January, 1836, to January, 1843, inclusive ; by Francis Bowers, from Aprll, 1843, to October, 1853, inclusive; and by Andrew Preston Peabody, from January, 1854, to October, 1863, inclusive. It is now jointly con ducted by James Russell Lowell and Charles Eliot Norton, who commenced their labors in the Janu ary number, just issued. It continues to be pub lished by Crosby & Nichols, of Roston. The change of editorship has been proclaimed far and wide in newspaper advertisements, which some timejeven gave biographical sketches of Messrs. Lowell and Norton, though the admitted scholar ship and ability of these gentlemen rendered the puff' preliminary wholly unnecessary. The pub lishers also loudly proclaimed the merit of the North American Review (whir*, at one time, had been an able, and occasionally even a brilliant periodical), intimating that it continued to rank as high, let telly, Se it had ranked under Such men as Sparks, the Everette, and Be , The fact is, that during the last ten years it has vegetated, rather than lived, under the incubus of a feeble editor. The Rev. Dr. Peabody Plummer, Professor of Christian Morals in Harvard College, and Preacher to the University, is a learned man, a logical writer, and a pious cler gyman—but the Review fell back very much during his long attempt to edit it. There is now a chance that, in the hands of able writers, who are also men Of She world, the publication will receive such im provements as will bring it up to the time. The National Quarterly Review, edited by Mr. Edward J. Sears, at New York, has deservedly supplanted the- North American Review, during the last three years, to a very coneiderable extent, and is new established as a formidable rival.' Dr. Peabody retired just in time. Besides forty.four pages of short reviews, far bet ter executed than such notices have lately been in the N. A. Review, the present number, commencing the ninety-eighth volume, contains nine articles. Of these, the notices of Ticknor'' Life of Prescott and Winthrop's Early Life of Governor Winthrop are purely literary; The Bible and Slavery is politico. religious; the long review of Renan's Life of Jesus, is religiously critical; Immorality in Polities and The President's Policy are wholly and sharply poli tical ; the notice of the Bibliothecia Tories is an un. mitigated putt' of that periodisal; the paper on the Sanitary Commission abounds in personal abuse and eulogies, ending with a clear account of the workings of an excellent institution; and the paper on the Ambulance System sandwiched in between two re. ligioue article', is short and practical. Five articles on politica and religion, out of nine, which this number contrlns, is just such tt a p n ol e a x i c c e s s a s h o o f u s id er: o u: matter as Dr . 'T'eabody supplied—his idea being that religion, moral pilptiophy, and atitute the staple of each number. The review of Renan'a work is long, but scarcely too long, for it covers the whole ground, and is well written. There is nothing new in the second article, for the Bible never recognized any such slavery as the f outh has taken 'arms to retain, as its r peculiar institution." The paper on Im morality in Politics is acute and well-timed, and deals, among other matters, with Judge Wood ward's Independence Square oration of December 13, 11360. It also shows up the copperhead" ten deludes of Professor Alone, inventor of the Electric Telegraph. The most readable articles, however, are those upon George Ticknor's Life of Prescott, the historian, and Robert C. Winthrop , ' Early Life of Governor Winthrop, his ancestor : both very re. cent books, published by Ticknor & Fields, of Bos ton. The first review, occupying forty-eight pages, commences the number, but it is so full of interest that no one will complain of its length. It quotes largely from the book, which is extremely interest ing, and the critic's own summing-up of the personal and literary character of Prescott is extremely in. &clone, and also well written, The notice of Governor. Winthrop', Life is full of interest of a different nature, and will make readers long for a second volume, promised by Mr. Winthrop, show ing his . great ancestor's public life in this country. For the moat part, we are not very anxious to see poliVcal articles in literary periodicals. At times, however, a well.written paper upon public events or public men is acceptable, as a variety, if well writ ten. Such a paper is that entitled " The President's Policy," which is published here. It is thoughtful, moderate, loyal, well-reasoned, and clearly express. ed. Reviewing the . 0 Menage," delivered on De cember 9th, it enters fully into the whole policy of tne President, and, we think, is more particularly suc cessful when it touches upon his personality. Here is a little bit which we can easily separate from the context: "A curious, and as we think, not inapt parallel, might be drawn between Mr. Lincoln and one of the most striking figures in modern history—Henry I V, of France. The career of the latter may be more picturesque, as that of a daring captain always is ; but in all its vicissitudes there is nothing more ro mantic than that sudden change, as by a rub of Alad din's lamp, from the attorney's office in a country town of Illinois to the helm of a great nation in times like these. The analogy between the charac ters and circumstances of the two men is in many re spects singularly close. Succeeding to a rebellion rather than a crown, Henry's chief material depend. ence was the Huguenot - party, whose doctrines eat upon him with a 'closeness distasteful certainly, if not suspicious, to the more fanatical among them. King only in name over the greater mart of France, and with his capital barred against hitii it yet gra dually became *tear to the more far-seeing even of the Catholic party, that he was the only ceetre of other and legitimate authority round which France could reorganize itself. While preachers who held the divine right of kings made the churches of Paris ring with declamations in favor of democracy rather than submit to the heretic dog of a Bdarnois—much as our sot &sant Democrats have lately been preach ing the divine right of slavery and denouncing the heresies of the Declaration of Independence—Henry bore both patties in hand till he was convinced that only Ore course Of action could possibly combine his Own interests and those ox France. Meanwhile the Protestants believed somewhat doubtfully that he was theirs, the Catholics hoped somewhat doubtful ly that he would be theirs, Henry himself turned aside remonstrance, advice, and curiosity alike with a jest or a proverb (if a little high, he liked them none the worse), joking continually as his manner was. We have seen Mr. Lincoln contemptuously compared to Sancho Panza by persons incapable of appreciating one of the deepest pieces of wisdom in the profoundest romance ever written—namely, that, while Don Quixote was incomparable in theoretic and ideal statesmanship, Sancho, with his stock of proverbs, the ready money of human experience, made the best possible practical governor. Henry IV was as full of wise saws and modern instances as Mr. Lincoln, but beneath all this was the thought ful, practical, humane, and thoroughly earnest man, around whom the f ragments of France were to gather themselves till she took her place again as a planet of the first magnitude in the European sys tem. In one respect Mr. Lincoln was more fortu nate than Henry. However some may think him wanting in zeal, the most fanatical can find no taint of apostacy in any measure of hie, nor can the most bitter charge him with being influenced by motives of personal interest. The leading distinction be tween the policies of the two is one of circum stances. Beery went over to the nation; Mr. Lin coin has steadily drawn thenation over to him. One left a united France- the other, we hope arid believe, will leave a reunited America. We leave our read ers to trace the further-points of difference and re• semblance for themselves, merely suggesting a ge neral similarity which has often occurred to us. One only point of melancholy interest we. will allow ourselves to touch upon. That Mr. Lincoln is not handsome nor elegant, we 'Own from certain Eng lish tourists who would consider similar revelations in regard to Queen Victoria as thoroughly Ameri can in their want of biensgance. It is no concern or ours, nor does it affect his fitness for the high place he so worthily occupies, but he is certainly as fortu nate as Henry in the matter of good looks, if we may trust contemporary evidence. Mr. Lincoln has also been reproached with Americanism by some not Unfriendly British critics ; but, with all defer ence, we cannot solthat we like him any the worse for it, or see in it any reason why he should govern Americans less tritely." We take leave of the North American Review with a conviction that it is improved under its new edi tors, and with a hope that in future the purely lb term./ y and 'scholarly matter will not be kept under by religious, political, and philosophical paper..

Well, General, you see, sir, we drew about six barrels of potatoes for half ration—six barrels of potatoes and crackers. We used to draw potatoes instead of bread, and then sometimes the potatoes were bad, and the commissary could not make them good ; so we had a bad ration. JOHNSON.

The Confederate authorities say that our prisoners fare as well as their soldiers in the field. Now, if your judgment is that your prisoners of war here do not fare as well as you do in the field, I shall can on the Confederate authorities to make up the rations to our men, on Belle Island, to what it is here at least. But let me ask : Are there any instances of abuse or ill-treatment here? OLIVER. I have never received any. [All state that they know of no instance save that, when they first came here, they , usrd to detail some of the men out of the companies to work—the men did not want to work, but they were made to.] GENERAL.

They are most dissatisfied with their rations of rail and fresh beef. We get our tack, and that to more than we can eat. It is only beef days that there is complaint. GENERAL. You think they would be reasonably Well off if they could have their fresh meat made up equal to their pork ? OLIVER. Yes, sir, if they could draw more fresh beef to make the ration, as large as they are when they get pork, it would be right. Some days we have 26 boxes of crackers, and sometimes they fall a little abort in number, and sometimes a little over. Our general ration of crackers is 10 a day. Whenever it falls short CI the number of pieces, it is made up in weight. I soon found that out. I saw that 10910 of them were a great deal larger than others. GENERAL.

On the 29th the vessel returned with 502 prisoners: The letters and deepatchee stated that they sent these men in exchange for those that had been sent up, but that no more should be sent until we re leased all in our hands, when they would do the same, and until we gave up every claim which we had made in behalf of our soldiers then prisoners, consented to sacrifice the colored soldiers we had enlisted, turned over their officers to the cruel Cunishments imposed by the (pretended) law of the onfederate Congress, and consented officially that General Butler should be executed immediately upon capture t and that his officers and soldieri should be imprisoned, ironed, and hung.

A DIODRIth FALSTARY.—The major of One of the Feeeral ortvally regiments in Virginia, aceordine to the Washington Republican, closely imitates Fel. staff in some of his military manceuvrea, and his martial exploits would compare favorably with Mae of the fat knight at the battle of Shrewsbury. One of these is thus related : On an expedition into West Virginia recently, this major, On approaohing a loyal village, placed himself at the head of his regiment, and, with drawn sabre, bade theta fallacy. They charged furiously through the Areal—Mr. turned the hospitable, well-laden tables Spread out of doors by the ladies to welcome the Federal troop. era—frightened the little children and small dogs, and spread terror and dismay throughout the vil lage. The disciple of Sir John had previously weer. tamed, beyond a doubt, that there was not a rebel within a dozen miles of the plane. By this move ment his command lost a good dinner, but he esta blished his reputation for courage. A ROMANCE SPOILED. —The Worcester Trait. script says that the romantic story told by the Hart ford Post concerning Sergeant Plunkett's matri monial affairs (and which we copied), was entirely incorrect, and it gives the correct version as fol lows: Sergeant Plunkett was engaged, on going to the war, to Miss Nellie . Lorrimer, of this City, not of Leicester, as our contemporary erroneously located her. On returning so sadly maimed in defence of the old flag, lie offered his betrothed a release. whisk she, like a true heroine, refused to accept. They were married, and that is the whole of the story. With no other Mies Lorrimer had the Sergeant ever any engagement or correspondence of Any sort, and so, of course, no such romantic incident as that emanating from the fertile brain of the informant of the Port could ever have occurred. We trust that all newspapers which have given currency to the false story will mend this authentic contradiction after it as promptly as possible. THE REBEL BONDS.—The London Morning Herald publishes a letter from Mr. C. J.. Mcßae, the Sean. dal agent of the Rebel Government in Europe, pue. porting to show that the authorities at Richmond are taking measures to "support their credit" by providing for the liquidation of the bonds which may happen to be drawn in March next. Mr. Me. Rae says "It is said that cotton may be purchased, at the present rate of exchange, cheaper In the Confede racy with sterling than with the bonds of the loam. In reply to this I have now to state that it is under the consideration of the Government at Richmond to prohibit altogether the exportation of cotton, ex. cept such as is pledged by its own obligations. I have every rearon to believe that this necessary and salutary measure will be promptly adopted. The total of such obligations, other then those of the seven per cent. cotton loan, does not reach .Z 200,000 .1, REBEL GENERAL'S 'WIPE IN CIONNECT/CUT.-.• We find the following in the New Haven Palladium: " The wife of the rebel General Guatavus W. Smith is the daughter of Captain Abner Hamlett, of New London, and about a fortnight ago she suddenly ar rived home. It was given out that she had passed through the Union lines in diguise and had North to remain. Since her arrival she has been very free to avow the most disloyal sentiments, ex hibiting such rancor and violence as eould not be tolerated. The case was, reported to Washington, and the result was that on Monday evening the woman left New London in charge of an army officer, to be handed over to General Butler at Fortress Monroe and by him returned across the lines to her rebel Mende.), Eccentricities of Suicide. The London Star collates several recent curious cues of eccentricities in self-destruction, which we quote: Four of these have been brought to light within the last few days. There is the mysterious poison ing case at Umbleton, the history of which reads like the record of a nightmare: Miss Amelia Hu band had formed a secret and illicit connection with Mr. George Cole, from whom she received frequent nightly visits at her uncle's house, though without the knowledge of any of the members of her family. At length she found that she would soon become a mother, and comma. Ideated the fact to her lover, who at once- proposed to many her. But she declined, on the ground that the affiance would be altogether against the wishes of her friends, and, instead, took a large dose of Cr- genic, from the effects of which she died. Here we find death deliberately courted in order to avoid a family quarrel, which must, under the circumstances have necessarily ended in the marriage of the young lady to the man of her choice. But Mr. George Cole seems to be quite as singular in his modes Of feeling and action as was-Miss Amelia Husband. After the poor girl's death he wrote to her aunt ; but, according to his own statement, the letter contained neither al lusion to the lamentable event nor expressions of condolence. It embodied merely an application for the return of a watch and some trinkets which be had given to the young lady during her life, and which as be held, reverted to him upon her decease. It is difficult to determine whether the conduct of the suicide or of her lover is most unaccountable. Then, again, we have the Brighton drowning case, in which, as far as we can judge from the ever deuce now before us, a woman drowned her self chiefly for the purpose of casting odium upon a man who had offended her by break ing off an immoral relationship with her. Dirs. Bruce, whose body was washed ashore at Rotting dean last Wednesday, had formed a /Won with Louie Adolphus, manager to Messrs. Moses ft Son, the well-known tallora, but he states that when he paw her off by the Brighton train, on the Bth of November, he intimated to her that this must cease. It is evident that she was in no distress, *lnce her clothing was of a superior description, and she had money in her pocket and a dia mond ring on her finger, and her real motive for self.dentruction is shown by the mode in which she prepared for it. She wrote "my husband" on the bask of a carte tie visite portrait of Mr. Louie Adolphus, put it into an envelope, which she ad dressed to "My false and perjured husband, Linde Adolphus," with his address in full, and, wrapping the whole carefully in oiled silk, placed it in her bo som before she jumped into the sea. Did ever novel. ist or dramatist depict outraged love conceiving and carrying out a more recondite and intensely ro mantic scheme of vengeance' It seems evident enough that Mrs. Bruce sacrificed her own life after making the last act of it the writing of a lie, in order to cause grave annoyance to a manwho had slighted her. But her motive for suicide was strong when compared with the incitements which often impel individuals to commit the same crime. - Late in last week the body of Amelia Walker, a girl of seven teen, was taken out of Duekett's canal. She had - been in service, but two pots ofj am and an egg being found in her box, her master told her that she lima leave her situation. She received her wages, walked away from the house, and, instead of going home. drowned herself, the money being found untouched in her-pocket. Perhaps the most striking example of eccentricity, however, which has been wit nessed for some time is the case of the youth ;Torus Budd, who hanged himself a few days since at AlM wall. Having, while in the service of a butcher LII that district, committed some act of violence toward a few boys who had been annoying him, he was under a false impression that arreerselli to been oG fered for his apprehension, and so reaolv end to himself. Accordingly, he went to an and purchased - three yards of rope, for which - the shopkeeper wanted to charge him a penny, but ha insisted on receiving a farthing- change,alleging "a common sort of rope would suit his purpue."
