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.' It is, indeed; a credit to the
country. - ■ ■

Idle of Sir Walter Scott.
Loekhart’s well-known Life of Sir Walter Scott, his
father-in-law, is, next - to Boswell’s Life of Johnson,
( the -' most instructive and'entertaining biography
in our language. It is full: Of literary as well'as

have brought out a new edition (590 pages botavo);
which contains the whole of the original seven yo
■ lumes, Bvo., - published- in Edinburgh In 1837- >4O.
The price is only $2, which is about one-tenth of tho
original charge. The book has; for its frontispiece
'an engraving of tho portrait of Scott, painted'.by
Mr. C. B. Leslie, in 1824,' for Mr. Tioknor, of Bos
ton-one of the best, but not the last for whieh Scott
gat, for his head was subsequently painted by
Knight, in 1850; by Colvin Smith, in lB28; by John
Graham, In 1829; by Sir John Watson Gordon; In

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. It seems that I 'in ’
large: numbers- these, animals ; have -‘--'recently- lU
vaced. the settled'"portions of Minnesota, rendering

sixty-four of. the .bruin species have been - seen
during a week within an area of one mile from'their
public square; ’ Many Kaye been-killed, but ini gome
of the encounters with the 1 four-footed foe the siay

of Anoka, in company with.a friend, attacked a
bear near Sand Creek; and succeeded in shootina
him down.' 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”

against a small bush and fell, and as. the bearfeli
on him, plunged Ms hand Into the mouth of the

HIS EEPLV TO EX-GENEKAL NAOLBK,
; PHILADELPHIA* Octobers, 1864.
MY DBAR- SiE-r lSy attention hiff been called to
a letter bearing-date the 27th ult,, which- you 'have
done me the honor to address to me through- the jiub*
)iojournalß,.in whlch you say: - „ { *
••• .‘‘Ouracquaintance and all ol the relations that
have ever existed betwee*us arc conflnod to two or
three accidental at'oneof which yowwere

yon when:a poor boy-by tkeMndne3s of. my ‘Jabber,

the kind- and. valuablo influences received by you

; whenever theyjwould. be acceptable.”
You will; pardon me, Generajkif ,I limit “the re*-

meeting which took plane in ttseoffieeond presence,
of my venerable and distinguished friend, Eli ±.
Eli??) Pa- Wo not remember to-have had a word
of intercourse with you on any other occasion. jOn
that occasion; I mentioned that our, fathers had
been friend s' and' told you that in. the office of the
prothonotary of -the court of which I was a judge,
your father, had recognized me by my likeness to
MS early friend, my father. That was- the only time
I remember to. have seen, him, but I shall ever re
member thepleasant words’he spoke of my lather,
who died during my infancy.- ’' '
The public will estimate the gratitude I owe vou
for this.pleasant,incident; but it. was not to notice
your personal allusion that I took.my pent
Yon then; proceed,to quote a few sentences from
,the report in. The Press, of the 23d ult., of my re
-marks at the, meeting in Concert Hall the- evening
previous, and at the. conclusion of the extract you
say,- “ Now,lmy d«tr sir,-this statement is- simply
■false, and, on-the part ofyourfriend Mr. Edwin M;
Stanton, maliciously false.” -
-The extract you cite is as follows:
‘ “ It got out-.that the President was,determined to
have the'army moved, and It was; found that Gene-,
ral HtoClollan had no plan; and here I may state
that wetowS'thePenlnsula campaign HoJthosbJdls

hove no* right-hete!” “lam representing General*
Hookbr,” said he. ~It was afterwards found out that
General Naglee was absent without leave, and that
Righting Joe Hooker knew nothing of the counoih
[Applause.]” . .
The report from which you clip this extract does,
not purport to be verbatim—nor,was it full; T,
have,.however, no special exception to take to the
passage you'quote. 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. Gen.- Marston is a brave and truth
ful man. • I know him well,and cheerfully refer any -
-of our military friends to him for proof that you are
yourself the author -of the story you wantonly as

A Catholic View of Slavery.
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.

to give up the use of the now cars, as they would
rather ride with their husbands ana.friends In the
