THE RELIGIOUS PRESS.
The Christian Intelligencer, (Ref. Dutch),
one of the most erudite and discriminating of
our weekly cotemporaries, has a sound and
virtuously indignant article upon the North
American Review’s persistent spite toward
Dr. Gillett’s great work, “The Life and
Times of John Huss.” The Intelligencer
speaks of the original notice in the Review,
(we say original, for its fulminations hasp
reached to article No. 3, a point #here any
becomes prima facia splenetic, and
hence only a hrutm fdmeni) under the- mild
term of a “great mistake.” One reason
given is that “ it was written with a parade
of learning which masked ; a profound igno
rance.” Another is thus expressed:—
Unfortunately again, that notice was not
only grossly unjust, and inepmpetently wnt
ten, but it left the Reviewer in thu mortify
ing position of a minority of one. f here was
not even, so tar as we Know, a second-rate,
journalist or critic in the country to -keep step
to his music, or endorsees judgment.
Of the second piece in the Review, the In
telligencer says:—
Nothing remained but to assail the entire
literary criticism of the country as incompe
tent or venal. This was done, not only with
shameless impudence, but with a Jesuitical
skill which assumed to ignore the very exis
tence of such periodicals as the Eibliotheca
Sacra, the New Englander , the Congrega
tional Quarterly, the Evangdieal Quarterly,
and several of our ablest journals,, all or
which —in common with ourselves —differed
toto ccdo from the critic of the North Ameri
can. This fact also was brought out by the
American Presbyterian and Theological Re
view, and with such force and pertinency that
the critic must have felt sharply stung by it.
The last attack is thus treated in the article
before us: —
But this, the third essay, is a more misera
ble failure, if possible; than those which pre
ceded it. Any previous _ objection of inac
curacy is effectually set aside by the manifest
fidelity with which, according to the showing
of the reviewer, Grillett, has followed his
authorities. The reliableness of the history
is confirmed by this assault made upon it.
The charges of the reviewer are substan
tially these—that- large extracts have been
made from Bonnechose’s “ Reformers before
the Reformation,” sometimes bodily, some
times with slight alteration, and sometimes
to introduce additional matter; that other
authors are referred to in many of these in
stances, and yet that Bonnechose is referred
to only once in the preface, and seven times
in the course of the history. The reviewer
professes to give the evidence to sustain these
charges. We have examined. the evidence,
and we must say, without going outside of
the record, that he has convicted himself of
gross injustice. He does not state clearly, as.
justice required, that the extracts from Bon
nechose consist to a great extent, of transla
tions of letters, speeches, and documents,,
which Grillett examined and corrected, with
the original authorities before him, and
which it would nave been a fastidious nicety
to have translated himself, simply in order to
differ from Bonnechose. The reviewer him
self satisfies us, by the admission he makes
in one instance at least, and by his concession
of the inaccuracies of Bonnechose, which
Gillett was constantly required to correct;
that the task of the latter was as far as pos
sible from that of a blind copyist. We have
compared his citations from the two authors,
and we find that, apart from translations or
documents, etc., there are, in the thirteen
hundred pages of “ Life and Times of John
Huss,” just eight sentences identical with
the same number in Bonnechose, and about
thirty, some of them quite short, in which a
certain resemblance, sometimes quite remote,
may be traced.
As to • the references, Grillett says in his
preface, “ Nearly all the statements con
tained in the work rest upon the authority of
Roman Catholic authors, and where the same
facts are given by writers of opposite sympa
thies, the marginal references are to those
who would be least suspected of partiality to
the cause and doctrines of Huss.''
This is a fair and candid statement of an
author’s justifiable precaution against any at
tack upon the accuracy of his )*ork. And
yet, because the original authorities- upon
which Bonnechose ana Gillett both relied, are
so given by the latter, that Roman Catholic
prejudice might not call his statements in
question, he is repeatedly charged—notwith
standing his distinct announcement of his
plan—with plagiarism and deception. Is the
attack now made a disguised attempt to shake
the credit of a work whioh was carefully for
tified against Roman Catholic objections, and
has a Protestant Review lent itself to a task
so mean, invidious, and unprotestant, that
an author’s caution had not conceived it
possible ? Certainly, after the statement
made in the preface, the attempt to repre
sent the preference given to certain authori
ties, as intentional deception, is one of the
most groundless and malignant kind. To em
ploy, as the reviewer does, on no better
grounds than those he has adduced, such
ungentlemanly language toward a Christian
minister of unimpeachable integrity and high
character, savors more of the blackguard than
of the scholar, and cannot fail to recoil upon :
himself.
The Intelligencer’s article, from which, we
have not room to extract more largely,
extends itself into a view of what
properly constitutes the sin of plagairism,
brushing away some popular absurdities
on the subject, by showing that if
they are to be accepted, what would be
the worthlessness of any great historical
work which is not more or less indebted to
what the Review calls plagiarism. Mr. Ban
croft’s name is pe tinently suggested as a
partner in offence with Dr. Gillette. •
The Methodist of July 15th, opens with a
notice of’one of its recently deceased minis
ters of its church in the city of New York.
Rev. J. B. Hagany, D. D., a brother who
was not merely an ornament to his own
church connection, but whose temper, spir
• itual and ecclesiastical, greatly endeared him
to the church in general. We best learn
goodness and power for good from living il
lustrations—learn how to follow as well as
admire.. Hence a few extracts :
The literature of the period preceding the
French Revolution was as familiar to him as
a household word. It is a literature whose
traits we all know—pure even to severity in
expression, logical, in the sequences of
thought, measured in the degree of feeling
conveyed, and free from the tumultuous en
thusiasm of our era. The anarchical energy
the boundless grasping after the unattainable,
which distinguish our day, are unknown to
the wise placid teachers with whom, our Hag
any loved to commune. His studies in the
literature of the last century gave character
to all of his ministrations, ana imparted to
them a finish which contributed largely to
his success.
God gave him, besides a sweet-toned voice,
a calm, rather than. a fervid, temperament,
a quick, tender sympathy, by, which he was
readily affected himself, and could readily af
fect others to tears. A memory both quick
and retentive, enabled him to command in
stantly all his resources. If the man, of one
book, as the proverb tells us, is formidable,
he who has in thinking and learning,
his own chosen walk, and resolutely keeps
himself within the boundaries of that, may
bewell deemed more formidable still. With
in his province he may, if he will, be-a king.
No one could listen to Dr. Hagany and not
feel that in his chosen field he was perfectly
master of himself and of his position. Nay,
so easy and self composed was his execution
of his tasks, that you were certain that there
was a reserve of power never called into
action ; you could not but believe that this
man whom yoitfsaw easting “ smooth stones
out of the brook” could, if roused to the
Utmost of his energy, have plucked up great
trees by the roots, and hurled them at the
foe.
t .He was never contented unless he visibly
did men good. His sermon was not an end,
but a means to a higher, highest in
his estimation that a human being could
place before him. " !
The more nearly you; approached the inner
life "of Dr. Hagany, the more admirable it
seemed. Like many other men of marked
character,' he was shy and),reserved in the
communication of his'tnoughts upon subjects
which deeply touched his . feelings. He was
self-distrustful, and in all things deeply con
scientious: He believed religion to be a con
scious life, maintained by constant commu
nion with God; nor was he satisfied with
less than the assurance of the favor of his
heavenly Father. I count him among the
much-praying men whom I have known.
His sense of the uncertainty of life-was so
strong that he strove to be in a '.state of
readiness at all times for death. . The fre
quency with which he spoke of -dying was a
matter of common remark among' his friends.
There was nothing morbid in this habit of
mind, for he was ever cheerful.; but it. seemcd
'to be his wish never to allow himself to forget
that his days were but as a “ hand’s breadth. ’ ’

New Jersey Politics.— The Union State
Convention was held in Trenton, on. the 20th
inst. 'lt was full and enthusiastic.: Gen.
Judson Kilpatrick,_of Sussex county, was the
presiding officer. Hon. Marcus L. Ward was
placed in nomination for Governor, and a
series of resolutions were adopted—among
them one, declaring that the Constitutional
anti- Slavery amendment must and shall pre
vail in New Jersey. .
Hayti. —Advices from Port-au-Prince are
to June 20. Political affairs in the North
were still unsettled. The rebels continue to
hold Cape Haytien, and the", Government
forces were making slow work in reducing
that.town. The place has been:declared in
a state of siege, and all the foreign consuls
notified of the fact, but it was considered a
difficult work on the part of the Government
to make it effective, owing to the want of
vessels. The rebels were confined to Cape
Haytien, the rest of the island being in a
tranquil state.
: Care eor the. Remains of our Mur
dered Dead. —The steamer Virginia arrived
; at Savannah on the 12th inst., with fencing
materials head-boards, and other lumber to
be used in enclosing, the prison at Anderson
ville. All the remains or our murdered pri
soners will be decently interred in- proper
graves, and where identification is possible,
the name of each martyr will be legibly mark
ed upon neat h'ead-boards. The whole area
is to be henceforth consecrated ground, and
when the fencing is up a suitable monument
will be erected. '
North Carolina.— The news from North
Carolina this morning is very encouraging.
The majority of the planters are pursuing a
humane and judicious course towards their
late slaves. The administration of Governor
Holden is growing in public favor. The
amount of freight at Wilmingtonis enormous,
but unfortunately there is riot enough-trans
portation for it. There are four lines of
steamers from that .port, beside a great num
ber of sailing vessels. This is gratifying,
when we consider that it was deemed imprac
ticable in 1858 to run a line to New "Fork.
There are no cases of yellow fever at Wil
mington.
The Crops. —The wheat harvest in South
ern Illinois and Indiana has commenced.
Exchanges from that section speak' of the
yield as enormous, and the quality as unsur
passed by the crops of any previous year. To
add to the satisfaction of the farmers, the
weather has been as favorable as they could
desire, and the new crop has been Harvested
in the very best condition, From al| parts
of the country, we have the same glowing
account of the wheat crqp. Corn and oats
will be more than average return, and fruit
has. never promised a more prolific yield.
This, therefore, is likely to be a year of plen
ty, its cornucopia overflowing with abundance.

The Widow of Aaron Burr.—One of
the oldest inhabitants of this city has passed
away. On last Sabbath morning, Madame
Eliza B. Jumel died at Washington Heights,
in the 92d year of her age. She was fora
short time the wife of the notorious Aaron
Burr, and played a conspicuous partin social
fife in this city, fifty years ago. The amount
of real estate which belonged to her, here and
elsewhere, is immense,; One portion only,
extending from - 158th to 172 d streets, and
from the Bth to the 10th avenues. It is un
derstood that nearly one-half of this property
has been, left for benevolent purposes, and if
the will is unbroken, some of the institutions
in-the neighborhood of Washington Heights
may be enriched by her death.— N. T. Ob

A Rebel Fiend in the Hands of Jus
tice. —Washington accounts say that Captain
Henry Wirr, lately prison-keeper at Ander
sonville, is shortly to be put upon his trial,
for the cruelty and barbarity practised by
him upon our. prisoners confined at that
place.. The Military Commission sitting in
this city, of which Brigadier General A, B.
Underwood is President, and Colonel N. P.
Chipman, of the War Department, Judge
Advocate, has been directed to try the case.
The charges embrace a list of atrocities that
are little short ,of fiendish, , and will arouse
the indignation of the civilized world. The
Government is now engaged in the collection
of testimony preparatory to the trial. Let
the soldiers who have survived their impris
onment at this prison put Colonel Chipman
in possession or any essential facts.
Destructive Freshet.—The country to
the north of Philadelphia, was on the 15th
inst., the scene of the most copious rain
storm which has been known for many, years.
On the Wissahiccon and other creeks, there
was a great destruction of bridges, houses,
and other buildings which were swept away.
In Montgomery county the flood was the
most fearful ever known there. The damage
done is estimated at between one hundred
and fifty and three hundred thousand dollars.
In Norristown the flood was very destructive,
and the poor people of that town were the
worst sufferers. In Bucks county it was
equally destructive. In New Jersey, for a
space of twenty square miles along the'line of
the. Central Railroad, the. country, was sub
merged, and property to the Value of two
hundred thousand dollars destroyed. In
Montgomery county (this State) the suffering
is so great that contributions are solicited.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 27. 1865.
What She Died of.—A New York
paper has the following account of an agoni
zingly precise.finding of a coroner’s jury:
“ Coroner Collins held .au inquest yesterday
at the New York Hospital, over the body of
Mrs. Frances Miller, a young German wo
man whose throat was cut, in May last, bv
her husband. The jury found that she died
of acute 1 peritonitis, dependent upon a per
forating ulcer of the ilium intestine. ’ The
husband lies in the Tombs, awaiting trial.”
The Pirate Shenandoah heard from
—A schooner has arrived at San. Francisco,
from the Micronesian Island, which reports
that on the 30 th of March, whilst in lati
tude 40° north, latitude 18° west, she was
boarded by the pirate Shenandoah, and her
papers examined. The' Shenandoa A was on
a cruise for whaleships, and the captain made
nnirierous inquiries m regard to that kind of
craft. A letter'from Australia to Boston
says, that the Shenandoah was cruising off
the coast of New Zealand. An American
schooner was seen on fire—probably one of
her victims. Since there remains not; the
ghost of a C- S.; A, Government to give a
belligerent standing to this cruiser, we. know
not why she should not have the navies of
the civilized world at her heels.
General Sherman not a Candidate
for the Presidency.— General Sherman,
replying to a complimentary toast at a ban
quet given him in Cincinnati, on the 14th
instant, said-:—“ It had been surmised he
had political aspirations. That was a great
mistake. He would not accept the office of
President were it offered him to-day. , He
could do letter. Twenty-five thousand dol
lars a year was no inducement, for him to
assume and responsibilities of the
PresidencaHpe would-prefer to retain the
military poSmon. he now holds.. He was
quite satisfied with the reputation he had
gained in it, and he intended to take care of it.
The Presidency had near nigh killed every
military man that had meddled with it, and
he had no purpose of desire to have anything
to do with it.
The Pirate Stonev#ll.— We mentioned
last week,- in a news item, that Spain has
given up this vessel, surrendered some time
! since to the Cuban authorities, to our Govern,
ment, the latter reimbursing the Spanish
expenses in the ease—sl6,ooo. We see by
the published correspondence that this re
imbursement was suggested, by Spain, but
not insisted upon as a condition. The letter
of the Spanish Minister announcing the de
livery of the vessel, says: —“With reference,
to the statements for the'expenses to the
commander to the Stonewall of $16,000,-
which sum, having been considered as the.
sole and especial cause of the surrender of the
vessel, it is to ba believed that the Govern-)
ment of the United States will not refuse to'
reimburse itj. it being understood neverthe
less, that this is not a condition for the de
livery of the Stonewall, . which delivery is
and must be considered absolutely uncondi
tional,” ;. , :
Duke— No Duke.— At last we have the:
. satisfaction ofknowing that the Gwin question
is definitely settled, and officially set at rest.
The notorious Dr. Gwin is not to be Duke,.
Viceroy, or Governor of Sonora. For the
last six months from Mexico, and
almost every mailtfpi Europe, has brought;
us new versions of the rumor that the Doctor
had received high tokens of imperial favor
and confidence from the Emperor of France;
and England, until we thought that a strucj
ture so colossal must have some foundation
to stand upon. The Government of Maxi
milian has at length deemed it neeessary to
set these flying rumors at rest, and aeahrd
ingly has published the Doctor as an< imp
tor, towards whom it has too long exercised
the grace of patience. In an official note,
published in the Diario of Mexico, the Min
istry say:—
. “We, the Imperial Government, never at
any time have entered into negotiations with
Dr. Gwin. So we never contemplated mak
ing him Duke nor Governor of Sonora, nor
Viceroy ot any other province. We never
knew that his services were' worth $60,t)00 a
year. Moreover, the very person of. Dr.
Gwin is not known by any of the Ministry,
and we did not hear of any having the desire
to get acquainted with him.”
Truly a most lame and impotent cone*
sion—for the Doctor, of whose pretentions,
let us hope, the world has now heard the
last. — N. Y. Paper.
European advices are to July Bth, and are
rather barren of interest. Earl Russell, pre
vious to the breaking up of the session, had
presented to the House of Lords the, Ameri
can despatch in regard to the withdrawal of
belligerent rights to the rebels, and, in an
swer to a question of Earl Derby, said that
said despatches contained nothing to show
that the usual courtesies would be denied
British vessels. Further correspondence be
tween the English and, French Governments
on the cessation of the American war has
been published. Earl Russell says the opin
ion of the British Government is that ships
belonging to the Confederate Government,
and not lawfully transferred to other owners
before the. total cessation of hostilities,
may be claimed as public property by the
Federal Government, if found in any British
territoiy, and any counter claim must be de
cided in the ordinary course of b#by. the
civil tribunals. In a despatch to the jßritish
Minister at Washington, Earl Russell says
the enemy’s commissioned ships-of-war can
not, during the continance of the war, be re
lieved from the risk of capture by'any sale ofj
transfer to neutrals.
The English Parliament had been dissolved,.
and candidates for the Lower House are in

From Rev. Levi G. Beck, Pastor of the Baptist Church

ton, N. J.
*.«• * * * * * * * *
I have known Hoofland’s German Bitters favorably
for a number of years. I have used them in my own
family, and have been so pleased with their effects
that I was induced to recommend them to many others,
and know that they have operated in a strikingly
beneficial manner. 1 take great pleasure in thus pub*
licly proclaiming- this factT and calling the attention
of those afflicted with thy diseases for which they are
recommended to these Bitters, knowing from experi
encethat my recommendation will be sustained. Ido
this more cheerfully as Hoofl&nd’s Bitters is intended
to benefit the afflicted, and is *' not a rum drink.”
Yours truly, LEVI G. BECK.
. From. Rev. J. Newton Broion, T). Editor of- the Enr
cyclopaedia of Religious Knowledge.
, - Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent
Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingre
dients and effects, I yet know of no sufficient reasons
why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple preparations
in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit
of others.
I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland’s Ger
man Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this
city, because I was prejudiced against them for many
years, under the impression that they were chiefly an
alcoholic mixture. Xam indebted to my friend, Kobt.
Shoemaker, Esq.,for the removal of this prejudice by
proper tests, andfor encouragementto try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning
of the present year, was followed by evident relief,
and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
' which I had not felt for six months before, and had
; almost despaired of regaining. X therefore thanV
God and my friend for directing me to the use of them

(N. J.) and Milestown (Paj Baptist Churchks.
New Rochelle, N. Y.
Dr. C. M. Jackson:—Bear Sir—l feel it a pleasure
thus of my own accord to bear testimony to the excel
lence of the German Bitters. Some years since, being
much afflicted with Dyspepsia, I used them with very
beneficial results. I have often recommended them
to persons enfeebled by that tormenting disease, and
have heard from them the most flattering testimonials
as to their great value. In cases of general debility I
believe it to be-a tonic that cannot be surpassed.

From Rev. J. S.-Sermon, of the German Reformed
Church, Kutztonm, Berks County, Pa.
Dr. C. M. Jackson:—Respected have been
troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and
have never used any medicine that did me as much
good as Hoofland’s German Bitters. lam very much
improved after having taken five bottles.
