a Memoir of Blennerhas4et. By William
H. Safford. Cincinnati: Moore, Wilstach
& Baldwin. Bvo. pp. 665.
This ponderous volume is an interest
ing and valuable addition to our know
ledge of one of the most remarkable
episodes in our early national history.
..The movements of the conspirators who,
in.oonjunetion with Aaron Burr, sought
to overthrow our government, or .em
`Amon us in a war with Spain, are de
tailed with groat minuteness in these
papers, now first. brought to light.
Blennerhasset was the willing accom
plice of Burr, and risked and actually
lost everything be was worth, which
was not a little, in promoting his schemes
of guilty ambition. The latter part of
the volume, which reveals the abject
condition into which Blennerhasset and
his family were brought by the failure
.of the expedition, is touching indeed.
Three vignette portraits—of Blenner
basset, Burr and his sister Theodoshi—
adorn the volume, which is a very great
credit to the Cincinnati publishers in
paper, typography and binding.

" This is the concluding volume of Dr.

This is the second of a pocket series
of standard authors, which, for the pe
culiar combination of miniature elegance,
compactness and durability, is quite
unique among the issues of the American
press. The type is beautifully clear, so
that the smallness of the volume is
scarcely any drawback to its legibleness.
The effort of the well-known writers, in
the volume before us, was to adapt the
best parts of Shakespeare's works to
Cr intellect of the very young, thus
Creating and cultivating at an early
age a taste for the sublimest creations
of human genius. The stories are sim

Domestic life is the favourite sphere
.of this well-known and very successful
writer. The interest of the story in
this volume centres in the inisunder
standings of a young married e; , uple,
the wife being warped from correct
notions of duty by modern theories,
while the lack of good judgment on the
part of the husband in exacting obedi
ence, aggravates the difficulty. Much
practical wisdom is inculcated in a
kindly and familiar manner in
.the
course of the story, which would not
come amiss to many married couples,
whose .difficulties are of the less serious,
though really annoying, character.

This' is a work which meets a great
want in France; it gives a just and
wholesome view of the position of
woman in a country where the grossest
and most pernicious error prevails, and
where philosophy has lent itself to the
work of degradation. The writer is a
member of the medical profession of
long standing, and is thprefore well
qualified to meet some of her ablest and
boldest antagonists. Happily, there is
no such urgency in the social condition
of any large part of our people, or in
the prevalent views of ihe relative•
position of woman in our country, as to
make the work peculiarly valuable to
us. It is important as helping to show
the real state of society on the continent
of Europe, and the wide contrast as yet
obtaining between it and our own
domestic life.

PUFFING NEW Books:—The London

Braddon's new novel.. Messrs. Max
well, who, publish it, sent me a copy of
the second edition, by mistake, I pre-.
sume, before the publication, of the first.
This . kind of puffing has brought Miss.
Braddon's name and navels into some
disrepute. I fear more houses in the
trade, calling themselves respectable,
sometimes resort to' this disreputable
trick. I could name an instance where
the trade absolutely refused. to subscribe

fact that of twenty-five .copics, of the

twelve, with uncut leaves, were then to

A REMARKABE LITERARY CURIOSITY
is described in the book notices of the
same publication. It is a translation
recently published in London, unar
the title,," Reynard the Fox in . South
Africa; or Hottentot Fables and Tales,
chiefly translated from original manu
scripts in the Library of His Excellency
Sir George Grey. By W. H. L. Bleek,
Ph. D. pp. 94." The critic says : " The
existence orfables among the Hotten
tots seem to have been first made known
through Sir James Alexander's Expe
dition of Discovery into the interior of
Africa,' published in London in 1838..
Qaite recently the Rev. G-. Kronlein,
Rhenish missionary at Beerseba, Great
Namaqualand, brought to light and
transmitted to England the original
manuscripts of a number of tales, fables,
legends, songs, proverbs, and riddles, all
in Hottentot, and taken down by hiM
froth the mouths of the natives. The
fact of such a literary capacity existing
among a nation whose mental qualifica
tions it has been usual to estimate at
the lowest standard, is of great import
ance; and that their literary activity
(in contradistinction to the general cha
racter of native literature among Negro
nations) has been employed almost in
the same direction as that which has
been taken by our earliest literature, is
in itself of great significance. As to
the fables comprised in this volume we
may state that they
.are classified into
Jackal Fables, Tortoise Fables, Baboon
Fables, Lien Fables, and Sun and Moon
Fables, to which are added a few house
hold tales and other legends.

NOTES OF A. VISIT TO THE ARMY 01'
THE POTOMAC.
Rev. T. H. Robinson, of Harrisburg,
furnishes the Telegraph of that city,
some of the most interesting and valua
blo
" notes" upon the movements and
charaiAer of the Army of the Pototua
that we have anywhere met with. We
copy a considerable portion of them and
would especially ,call attention to his
testimony in regard to the degree of
drunkenness and profanity which he
witnessed:
The -March of the Grand Limy
Leaving Fredericksourg-, iu etompany
with a few delegates of the Christian
CoMmission, and running the gauntlet
of guerrillas, after a hard day's walk I
reached Spottsylvania Court "louse,
only to find that our eorthention with
Washington by way of Fredericksburg
was severed, the grand army was in mo-
tion southward, and we must, willing or
no, accompany it. A night of broken
sleep upon the boxes and bales of our
supply wagon was followed by an early
order to pack up. There is something
in the movement of a great army that
partakes of the sublime, especially un
der circumstances like those under
which the army of Grant and Meade
has moved, a mighty and wily foe close
in front and watching every movement.
No more hazardous movements have
ever been attempted in warfare than
those by which day after day, the vast
Army of the Potomac has ever been
swung around as on a pivot in the very
face of its enemy. Silently, to corps,
divisions, brigades, regiments, to hospit
als and supply trains came the orders
for a movement—no one knew whither.
With a sublime, unquestioning faith, the
tents were quietly struck, ambulances
filled. with the remaining sick and
wounded, knapsacks buckled on and
muskets shouldered, horses mounted,
and , soon cavalry, infantry, artillery,
hospitals and supply trains and rear
guard would all be on their way to
some unknown point. Accompanying
the sth corps, commanded by Maj-Gen.
Warren, my' observations during the
subsequent ten days wore limited al
most wholly to this corps. Putting my
self in light marching order, i. e. leaving
my coat behind, and carrying only a
canteen and a stout walking stick, cut
neari the terrible field of the " Wilder
ness}" I took my place along with the
rank and file of the army and learned
by experience, a little of their life. Un
der the shade of some noble trees in
fron of Massaponax Church, I was per
mitted to look upon. a number of our
generals in council, consulting some
maps of the region through which we
wore moving. A crowd of curious eyes
gathered around to look upon the noted
faces for af moment, while from the gal
lerrwindows of the church, I observed
a photographic instrument seizing the
rare chance. I quietly studied the faces
of these men, whom the generations will
delight to honor, and having photograph
ed them for private use, passed on, leav
ing the chiefs in council.
Missing the brilliant dash at the Po,
in which our cavalry scattered in wild
retreat the cavalry of the enemy and
seized, uninjured, the bridge at the
crossing, I contented myself with a bi
vouac under an army wagon for the
night, hoping that when next " John.
Gilpin chanced to ride, I might be there
to see."
Steadily all day, Sunday, 22d, we
moved forward, and steadily all day to
our right we heard the cannonadi❑g of
ono of our corps clearing its way.
The Battle of the North Anna.
On Monday evening, about 5 o'clock,
the Ist Division of the sth corps, with
a friend and myself had bean marching
from early dawn, reached the bank of
the North Anna. The 2d and 3d di
vi4ons came up, and while the pontoons
were being laid the divisions of Griffin
and Crawford, the Pennsylvania• Re
serves forded the stream. The North
, pa-is *paddy river, from two tolour
feet in depth and about one hundred
yards in width at Jericho Mills, the
pace where the sth 'corps crossed.
Both banks of the stream rise some
fifty or onehtindred feet to high rolling
ground, skirted by woods. In conse
quence of the three days' rapid march
ing, our troops gained the ground, ford
ed the river and took position on the
south bank without any resistance by
the enemy at this point. They soon,
however, found, a foe in front. Stand
ing near the General's headquarters on
the north bank, my companion and my
self watched our troops as they. crossed,
filed up the hills and formed in line of
battle, in some open fields on .the south
bank. A single battery was taken
across the river, while the remaining
ones were posted on the crown of the
hills along <the north bank on either
sido of headquarters. Off to our right,
as We lay in the clover beneath the
she& of an (oak, 'and nearly a mile
away, sat a rebel horseman as immova
bleas a statue, watoniu de our operations,
an ready' at the - slightest warning to
fly abeam the river and join , his friends.
When the skirmishing opened he van
ished and was seen no more. Soon a
line of ekirmishers was formed, and now
opened 'a Beene very exciting to one
who had never yet seen an engagement
of 'any kind. The skirmishers boldly,
yetcautiously advanced to theedgeof the
woods. While we watched with pain
ful eagerness they enter the woods.
Then came the first single shot, then
another and another, an enemy was
there—then two or - three shots in rapid
suceession, when suddenly the rebel
yell burst upon our ears, followed by
the rattle of quick volleys of musketry,
and our skirmishers came flying out of
the woods in double-quick and fell back
upon the line of battle for support.
The object was gained—the presence of
the enemy discovered, and now came
the marshaling for conflict. Generals
and their aids were busy forming our
forces into lines of battle preparatory to
a movement in force into the woods.
An hour passed away. Our line of bat
tle has entered the woods, the sun is
sulking in the west, the prospect of a
battle for the evening seems to have
paesed, and passing to the roar a few
hundred yards I lay down by the road
side (being exceedingly weary) and
was about falling asleep, when I was
orought to my feet by such a roaring
and screaming of shells and terrific rat
tle of musketry as surpassed, infinitely,
all my conceptions of battle. A little
stretch of woods lay between me and
the field of conflict, which connealed
the cambatants from sight. 1 only
heard the roar of cannon and explosion
of shells that shook the earth under my
feet and filled the heavens over my
head. A body of surgeons, who had in
cautiously advanced too far, came hur
rying past to get beyond. danger. The
enemy had suddenly opened with mne..
ketry and ari,ill..ry upon our advancing
troops. On a high bill, to our left front.
a body of rebel cavalry dashed furiously
across a ploughed field on the brow of
the hill. Their object was almost im
mediately manifest, when, beneath the
cloud of dust they raised, a battery of
artillery opened upon our headquarters
The fight thus began lasted for an hour.
when the enemy, finding all attempts
to dislodge us and drive us across the
river futile, fell back, and our army,
giving three rousing cheers that made
both banks of the river, the field, the
woods and the sky resound, advanced
and held new positions. The day was
ours. The rebel dead. were loft on the
field to be cared. for by the hands of in
human Yankees. Several hundred pris
oners were captured. The battle of
Jericho Bridge ceased as the twilight of
evening was deepening into darkness.
It was at this engagement I heard, for
the first time, the famous rebel yell. It
is but a single, confused, fierce scream
and stands in marked contrast with the
cheers of our own men. The two can
not be mistaken for each other by any
one who has ever heard both. The one
is a fierce, mobbish yell of voices
screaming without concert; the other
is three open, manly, rousing cheers,
given in concert. As far away on a
battle-field as the sound carLbe heard, a
listener may tell how the tide of battle
wavers and turns by the alternate rebel
yells and Union cheers.: 4M
MuAnother Grand Flank Movement.
..,.....
As 7 - e
were awaiting anxiously the
expected battle between the North and
South Anna, and just at dark, ono eve
ning, came the quiet order "Prepare to
move immediately. The hospital train
will fall into the rear of the division."
In a ball hour we were ready; had
moved out on the road, and halted to
let the army pass—rather the sth corps
of it. From 8 o'clock, P. M., till 3, A.
M., we waited by the roadside, while
the steady tramp of men, cheerful, jok
ing and fall of spirit, and the heavy
rumble of artillery reminded us an army
was near us. Two days of heavy and
continued marching brought us across
the Pamunkey, in front of Lee's army,
and within ten miles of Richmond.
I shall regard it as one of the great
est privileges of my life that I had been
permitted to be with the grand Army of
the Potomac during the splendid move
ments that took it from Spottsylvania
Court House to the immediate front of
Richmond. I have seen something of
armies before; have read and heard of
battles and of marches before, but my
experience and my conceptions have all
been surpassed by the events in which I
have mingled. It has been worth ten
years of peaceful life to go amid those
stirring scenes; to follow and accom
pany that host of men in their glorious
movements; to look day after day upon
their bronzed - faces; to march with
them; tent by them; to sleep as they,
under the quiet stars;. to fare as they
fared; to grow weary as they; and,
like them, to fall by the road-side for
an hour's sleep. It has been worth
more than I can measure to study their
unflinching patriotism; to be a witness
of that calm endurance which could
march by night and fight by day, for
weeks together; to look upon the men
who so cheerfully stand between us and
ruin. Walking bravely up to the great
sacrifice of home and life as dear to
them as ours to us. It has been worth
more than I can name to look upon
their chiefs in council on the march and
in the field,; to see the calm delibera
tion; the high resolve; the confident
hope that rested on the countenances of
the men whom we delight to honor—
Warren and Burnside, Old Hancock, and
Meade and Grant. There may be a
spirit of despondency and of repining
here and among those who have never
put their.hands to this great work—it
cannot be found in the army. There
the spirits of men rise to something of
the greatness of the occasion. No re
pulses ; no losses dampen the ardor or
shake the confidence of the army. From
the highest general down to the lowest
private in the ranks, I marked a unity
of spirit, a confidence of each in each, a
strong faith in ultimate success, a per
sistence against all obstacles, and a pa
tience under all sufferings that prophe
sied the best things. I saw men man.
fully bearing during those daysof heavy
marching, who had lost all regular sleep
for weeks, and had been living on part
rations for days. It has been said by
the enemy that the fields and the woods
in the rear of Grant's army were fall or
stragglers. They were invisible to me.
By nothing was I more astonished than
by the.epirit and discipline of this great
army; which prevented it from becom
ing disorganized by forty days of almost
unexampled toil.
Drunkenness in the Army.
Another fact pleased me. I spent
two weeks with the army, with its
officers and men every day. The only
drunken men I saw from the time I left
Fredericksburg till I reached Baltimore,
was an officer on the boat from Fortress
Monroe.
Profanity and Wickedness of the Army.
It has frequently been said that the
great peril of the country will.be when
the army returns home and scatters its
wickedness, profanity and recklessness
through society. The country will suffer
an hundred fold more by the men who
stay at home to support drinking and
gambling saloons on all the streets of
our cities, than it ever will from the
rough and sunburnt men of the army.
There is profanity in the army. There
is profanity here, on every corner of
our streets, more of it, and less ex
cusable, than in. the army. Here it
breaks over all restraints of society and
decency. In the army you will find
thousands of Peri oa s men, of noble and
gentletnanly bearing, among whom one
may move from day to day without
beholding an act or bearing a word that
need cause a blush-on the cheek of
virtue. There is no mercenary and
In.an spirit. The army is lifted up to
a broad, A mr-rican and patriotic feeling
such as does not characterize all who
stay at home. lam happy to be able
to speak from my owa observation of
these citizen soldiers. I have seen
them in camp, on the march, on the
brink of battle," storming the imminent
breach," borne wounded from the field,
lingering in the hospital, and gasping
in death, and I can say that I believe a
nobler band never went forth to war, a
band inspired by 'nigher impulse than
the "Army of the Union." There may
be still faint-hearted men at home, or
worse than faint-hearted men, who are
repeating yet, in this fourth year of the
conflict, the question, Is this war right
or wrong ? The army entertains no
doubt on that matter. The arm of the
soldier pauses not to strike at any man
who would trample under foot the ban
ner of the country. He loves his Go
vernment and is willing to die for it.
It is no spirit of adventure, nor love of
blood, that has sustained these men in
the fearful conflicts of the Wilderness
and led them up into the very face of
death. The spirit that animates the
ranks animates the leaders. Like Wads
worth, many of them have left fortune,
family, high social position, chances of
distinction in civil life, and gone out -to
the privations of the camp and the perils
of the field, moved by one great
ali
sorbing love of country.
