PHILADELPHIA TUESDAY,; QQrQHES 4, J 884; TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 18G4. ; Illustrated edition of Webster’s ®fe . tionary.* It takes a long time to build up. a great kook like this—a volume of :; nearly 1,800 quarto pages. .In the : last decade ofthe eighteenth, century,: Npak : "Webster, pressed by his friends to the task, began to prepare himself for making; a* new English Dic tionary. He found that he had not only to learn a great deal, but to unlearn much that he already knew. In 1800 he published a Dictionary, In octavo .form, containing a great number of words not to be found in ordinary,works of the kind. This wasbat a pilot", balloon ; the s book:,itself, the American Dic tionary, the magnum’ opus, did not appear until the dose of 1628, when editions of 2,800 here,and of 3,000 In England were published. At thattime Dr. Web. ster was seventy years old, and hoped, no doubt, that his labors word ended. But, twolvo years later, he published a, second edition of his Dlcfcion ary, a great Improvement on the first, and ho died 'in 1843, aged eighty-five, “ full of,years and honors.” In 184", by which time Messrs. BXorrlam had ob tained a proprietary interest in the work, ap peared: a third edition, in one volume, crown 4to, revised and prepared by the late Profossor Qoodiieh and competent assistants. In-1868, under , the same surveillance, a fourth edition, appeared, and fMs was followed by the pictorial edition .of 1869. Unfortunately, Professor Goodrich died in .lB6o,,but hisplace; as editor,- has-been well supplied .by Professor Porter, also of Yale College. The sixth edition,: just published; contains the the labor Of both philologists, and also of numerous and oompotent collaborateurs at home and abroad. Indeed, with the, exception", perhaps; of the famous work of the French Academy, no dictionary ever had such a numerous and able staff of writers em ployed upon It as this. "Webster’s Dictionary soon became.pqpular, and, wo suggest; from two causes: It;was. an American dictionary, and Its definitions or explanations of words were more exact and more Informing, than those of Johnson, which had been the : standard up to that time. The derivations, also, were excellent—^though these have slnceboon at least equalled in Worcester’s I)lction|iry. ' . The great defect in Webster’s Dictionary has been the change introduced in English orthography. Dr. Webster, who was a speculative philologist, under took to alter the English language, in its spelling, so as to screw it down to a standard o r his own, _ based upon analogy. • Hence his novelties of ortho graphy have always been repudiated by the English themselves, who, It may be presumed, know some • thing of their own language, and; especially how to pronounco and. spoil It. Many of the Websterfatt novelties have been gradually dropped out of the suooessive edltlons~of his g^eat-work..- in. the pre sent edition this Is very perceptible. Ho English eye will ever take kindly'to haying meagre, centre, metre, spectre, theatre, and words of that class, altered •: into so S on. The change may have been justified on Webster’s favorite doctrine of analogy, but- no matter ; what ■ the genius of the - language” .may appear to war rant, the practice of England ought to overrule all. In the new_ edition of Webster a compromise: is made—the proper and the Websterlan orthography of the particular words, which are not numerous, is given, and.he who consults the book may takd his choice. :We trust that when we review .the next ', edition—somewhere about the year 1874—w0 shall; have.to record, with j>raise and pleasure, that the Ihigßsh spelling has alone been adopted; . : , In the pronouncing department wo notice many corrections. The word tiny, which was marked In the preceding editions to be pronounced tin-mj, Is here properly set down as ty'-ny. Tffio wretched habit of giving enyine. and tribune the mispronunciation of en-gyne and has; been: justified .out of Webster, by parties who did not. know the book, for wo find them here properly set down as en-gin and trib-une. We notice theso to show how reliable the book is now in this respect. - _ The vast volumebefore.us opens with an Interest ing preface,"giving personal and; other particulars of the, armyiOf;contributors who ..have .assisted in placing Webster’s Dictionary .upon its present lofty platform, and pointing out the; special, features of this new edition.: These are: 1. The Be vised Ety mology. 2,:TheKevlsed Definitions. s.iTheTllus tratlve Citations. 4, TheYocatralai-y,now compri sing the unprecedented aggregate of 114,000 words. 6, The Scientific and Technical Definitions. :6, Pro fessor:, Goodrich’s Collection, of Synonyms, now incorporated in.the body of tho work. -7. The Pic torial Illustrations, over 3,090 in number, chtcily en graved by Mr. John Andrew, of Boston, inter spersed, as object lessons, throughout the Vocabu lary. and subsequently grouped collectively under the different heads to which they belong. 9. The" Bevised, Pronunciation.,, lo... .The. Improved. Orth ography jWhlchwe: have already commanded, and,, finally, a copious Appendix containing prononnolhg Vocabularies of Scripture proper names, Greek ana -Latin proper names, Modern Geographical;, and Bl ographicalnames, common English Chrlstlanhames’ with tboir derivatlon-and - signification, quotations, words, phrases, proverbs, &e., from the. classic and living languages, abbreviations in writing and print ing, and arbitrary signs used in the;saine. : . A new and wholly unique feature here, occupying ■ : fifty-four pages of small but clear typo, (which would make an ordinary 12mo. volume of 350 pages,) is an > explanatory and pronouncing Vocabulary of the names of noted fictitious persons and plaoes, in cluding, also, familiar pseudonyms, surnames be- Btowed uponeminentmen, and such analogous popular appcllations as are often referred to in lite rature and conversation. This is written by Wil liam A.Wheeler, M. A.,.who has the merit of thus supplying a general want and of producing an en tirely novel compilation. He has done .more than compile, for though the results of very extensive reading are here given, they are set in with pleasant little elucidations of his own. • A man taking up, for example, a volume of poems called “The Two penny Post-bag, by Thomas Brown, the younger,” and desiring to know who wrote it, he turns to Mr. ■Williams’ YocabularyLand finds “ Brown, theyounger, Thomas pseudonym “under which Thomas Moore; in' 1813, pffijfishcd the; 1 Two-penny. Post-■ bag,’ a series «^^»j>layful,'and very popular satires, Prince Regent and his ministry.” like this fully,, explained,characters in modern fiction are also noted, as well as names vor'daSgnatlons commonly “found In books or conversation, such as Dixie, • Duke Humphrey, the Thunderer, &e. "We venture to say that this part of "Webster’s Dictionary will bo more frequently roferred to than any other, for It supplies information much needed, and Is accurate, as well asconeise.' ■ • _ . In the general vocabulary wo have found many verynew words. For example, that wretched “ skedaddle” Is here, with its meaning and deriva tion, %hd the use of “contraband,”, In the sense adopted during the present war, is also given. In- conclusion) merely adding that the typo graphical 'execution is truly-'beautiful;‘'(the mere' stereotyping c05t525,000, : we believe), we" congratu late the public as well ae the publishers upon the production of this new, revised, and illustrated edi tion ;of "Webster’s American Dictionary tof the- English Language.'

But'as! Les lie's portrait was painted for an-Ameriean,- himself an eminent artist and writer, and remains in this "country, no more suitable portrait or Scott could havo been prefixod to tills cheap edition of his Life.' The citizens, of Minnesota are at-present in a state of excitement-arising from; a rather unusual ' -the stirring news from .the gallant Phil Sheridan, not: the, advance of Grant,-nor yet the rebel Invasion of the West, which disturbs their equanimity ; neither is it an onslaught of Indians upon their unprotected towns. It is none of these, and yet it is the inroad of an enemy, no whit less savage, cruel, or remorseless than the red man. on* ft® most persistent an'd dangerous of foes to' civilization—the American bear.

Supposing him to be efiectuallycrlppiecF Mr, T. approached with an axe to despatch him • when the .bear sprang upon his .assailant; and. striking the axe from his hand, attempted to seize” hlmbythe breast... In stepping back, Mr. T. tripped against a small bush and fell, and as. the bearfeli on him, plunged Ms hand Into the mouth of the beast, ana though terribly bitten, held the infuri- - ated monster while Mr..

Democrat says • “From", every street corner the cry is;'still they come’ Scarcely a team conics in from the country but brings a defunct bruM or Ms pelt. -In fact, it seems' as though all the bears outside of Wall street have congregated in ami around St. Cloud, but whether .it is a ; convention called together to discuss the financial topics of the day, or to adopt some plan to prevent the further encroachments of the white man, we are unable to tell. At any. rate, they bring the entire family, Includlng.young and old, and the result is that bears are as plenty as prairie gophers; azuifar lesst'.inid.” .

It embodlos a fair statement of my assertions. ao far as It goes. It refers to what-- occurred during the first wock.in March, 1882, and must follow.dn - the -report, which 1 have not read, my, statement of the disappointment well-informed teen had experienced in the last week of February. : I had told the audience of the hopes entertained by the President, the Secretary of Wa,r, a,nd ieading members of Congress, of the succeM; of Gen. Mc- Clellan's proposed surprise of the rebels. on the line of Brentsvllle. • You doubtless remember that the success of that promised movement was said by-the-General to .depend on the fact that It was to be a surprise. That no suspicion of his contemplated movement might be excited, be ’ proposed, that instead- of constructing pontoons or hauling them: thither,he.wouldjkollect inthecanal canal boats.,of which to: construct a bridge across the Potomac. This he did at his leisure. All was now ready. “If anything was wanting, he had no body but himself to blame,” as he himself had said. The morning of the eventful day arrived, andlo' a difficulty; and a difficulty'which-to the eml-, nerit engineer commanding the army was insu perable. . It had never occurred to him] to measure the outlet-look through which, the boats he had provided were ito pass, and now just at the critical moment, ,as they were some feet wider than the lock, they obstinately refused to pass through ! Was it not vexatious! . I alsotold’ the meeting of the": puerile excuses: for- the failure which he offered, in the presence of Hon. -Bonj. Wade, of 1 Ohio, and Andrew JohnEoii, then a Sena tor from Tennessee, and that he in their presence proposed to, make another effort to surprise the re-' bels over a bridge which he thought could be built in ten days.. Those who heard me will remember; all this, and I am quite sure that Gen. McClellan;' infirm as his memory .appears to bo, can verify ail my statements. I further said, in substance, that this fact, follow ing the incident of the stove-pipe at Munson’s Hill-. and the wooden guns at Manassas, had exhausted even the President’s stock of patience; but that -he had, in tfie kindness of his heart, determined to give. General McClellan a chance to redeem himself from utterridieule, and had, given him ten days in whlohto pfoposca" plausible plan of a- oampaigu. It was-then.that X sald he had .no plan, and that -when several of the promised ten days had.passed wahitQXw’lthont a plan. At tMspoint of, time, ihy dear General, you come upon the scene, and I reaffirm all that I said of you. Without attempt ing tot reproduce the language of my address, I reaffirm this, not on the authority of one wHom lam proud to.call my friend, Hon. E. M. Stanton, but of one. whose word you-oughttoao ieept, as he was a graduate of West Point, a briga dier general of volunteers; and enjoyed, in an emi nent degree, the'ednfideuce of General McClellan, then Ooniinandor-in-Chief ofthe armies of the tlnlted States, Indeed, my dear General, he was.commanding a brigade under. General Hookor ; in lower Maryland, which I think was your position when you received Va communication from a Democratic Son&tfc, Mr. Latham, of California, which, though I cannot give you its precise language, yet you know that General -McOleilan wasjin danger of removal because he had stipulated to - submit a plan of campaign within a' certain number of days, and would be removed If he did hot, and requested youdo hasten to Washington. I am quito sure, my dear General, that you will not deny this,’nor that in pursuance of that commu nication you did hasten to Washington, and were ’chagrined at finding that-'Mr; Latham had left for 'Now York. Nor further, that you found a letter from ’him awaiting you, in which he regretted that duties in connection with the Pacific Mail service.imperious ly 1 demanded his presence in New York on that day. It, however, referred you to another Democratic Senator, Mr. Rice, of Minnesota, and told yon to bonfehfieely with him, as-you would have done with the writer, as he understood the delicacy of the ■ General’s situation, and might :.be: oonferred with frankly and safely; Now,! say again, that lam sure you will contradict none of these statements; and ask you how my valued and honored friend, the Secretaiy of War, could have given me these facts, which were meant to be so confidential 1 My other assertions of how you proposed the plan of the Pe ninsula Campaign, and, as politicianssay/“ pack ed” a council ofwaT, are all equally true and well known to y ou. You cannot escape by artfully sug .gesting that . each of. the twelve generals who attended that council was entitled to b,ut ' one star. Eleven; of them , commanded divisions. It was called, as a council of division •commanders, yet Henry M. Naglee, commander of ' a brigade, was there bn the. flimsy pretence that it was not as easy to summon his division commander, General Hooker, as J 6 was to communicate with him . Now, my dear General, let mo ask you, iu all candor,-were .you not reported as absent without leave on the day on whicll that council mot, or are the records in error? .... Perhaps I have, by this time, excited your curi "osity as to the source from which I derived such minute and; accurate information. If so, T will gratify .you. All this information came to me, not, as you assume, from lion. Edwin M. Stanton, hut from you, HeriryMNaglee,.late, brigadier general of G. S. Volunteers. On the night of the 29th of March, 1862, you went In the oars from Broad and Prime afreets to Washington.- , -Do.yo.u not remem ber thi buoyancy .with which: you related ail this, and how. you exulted in the success of the artifico in which* you had been so" prominent an actor) My Tdear .'General, your campaign had not then been ,tested) but now that the, result is before us, do you nptLebjvor before the ghosts of the • brave thousands -who:,were slowly.-murdered by the malaria of the OMokahominy 1 The’gentlemen to whom you addressed your con versation on the night of the 29th of March, 1862, were Messrs, George H. Moore and George W. .Hacker, of this city, and if yon revealed your se crets so publicly that Others 6ould not avoid Leaf ing them, yon must not wonder that theyhavepub ■ lished themAieely; I refer you, and any who may doubt my statement, to Messrs. Moore and Haoker, both oLwhom are well known In this city. ■But, sir, you have boasted to others also of the success Messrs. Latham, Eiee, and-yourself shad in 'c'onstrainihgthe President to retain Gen. McClellan -in command. You know Gen. Gilman Marston, and, doubtless, remember the fact that you arid he travelled some time later from Fortress, Monroe to Washington together, he being at the time inoom marid of a regiment of New Hampshire volunteers. Do you not remember how fully you detailed to him all the facts I have recited 1 I do not doubt that you ? then*spoke the truth; the collateral facts prove tbat you did. But if error there he, It is -you who are responsible.

The Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph, the official paper of the Catholic. Church In the West, contains the following article on the subject of slavery The interests of humanity and the welfare of the white laborer in particular, are involved in the ques tion of slavery morethaninany other, and it ia the duiyof men to prepare their minds conscientiously, that they may, as far as possible, maintain what is best for all the. people.. Every one acknowledges - that slavery Is an ovil. vNo man who is free would consent to be a slave. ■ It is abhorrent to his nature. As a mere question of justice, no one can allege any right to reduce a human being to that miserable condition. :lt is detestable,to, mind and heart. And, moreover, he who" reduces a free man to slavery is excommunicated by the Church. Slavery is the cause of all our national trouble. It was for slavery that the war-commenced, and the blood of the brave men who have "fallen on both sides in this terrible war has been shod by this insatiable monster. The hope of its restoration is not abandoned, There arc multitudes of-men who would love to see It in the ascendant, as it was . before. As it is no,w suppressed In almost all the South, and as no such just ocoasion for its total ex tinction can arise again in' the present generation, would it hot be a'sad mistake ,ih the Christian ana ■ the statesman to aid in any way its; restoration?. What ■ excuse, can- be . alleged to justify such a hideous wrong ? Is. the human heart so; steeled ' against justice and- mercy that/ to gratify: a political ' prejudice,; it would: build up .again thatmonstrousevll which has covered the land with mourning ? We trust no Catholic heart will do so. The curse of,our.nation is almost blot ted out s hut let it not bo said that Catholic citizens. took pity oh the brute and ; bound its wounds, and 1 placed the part of a good Samaritan to-the mon ster. We do not disturb the repose of the politician by telling him for whom he should vote; this is. a matter lor his own conscience ; butkewho supports the pretensions of slavery after all he has seen of its-, ravages is not likely to be disturbed in mind or heart by anything in tills world. He may Ho down with ; the lloh,ahd hot fear to be mistaken for a lamb. ’ ? -We'desire the welfare of all the people, South as well as North. To the lover of the great; Union of States there should-be no difference between New England and »Texas, between East and West. In this, Union is,our.strength and our hope. There’is ? nothing so’likely’to 'dlsturb it as slavery,' and hence 1 ; we desire its utter annihilation. We desire it for the.good of, they nation,.for the, welfare of the emi-" • grant and the diffusion of the Catholic faith, which, in the free States, is strong and vigorous and active/ in the slave States puny and consumptive.
