REVIVALS.
In the First Church N. L., interesting
services on the successive evenings,
of several weeks past have been held
and we are gratified to state that, at
the late communion, thirty-one persons,
on profession, were added to the mem
bership. We learn that the interest
still continues, and that the meetings
will be-continued throughout ibis week,
and longer if indications
warrant. Among the influences at work
to produce these blessed results, we may
name the solemn and urgent exhorta
tions addressed to relatives %nd friends
Im the death-bed of a young Christian
nember of this church.
First Church Kensington. —Deep
d wide-spread religious interest pre
ils, especially in the Sabbath-school
d Bible-classes of this church. The
mber of inquirers is very large, in fact
precedented in the experience of the |
stor, who has seeu many seasons of
rival; and the interest appeared some
hat suddenly.
Williamsport. —We were gratified
th a visit, one day last week, from
3V. J. Macfarlane, of the Presbyterian
lurch, (O. S.) of Towanda, who con
ms all the accounts of the wonderful
id extensive character of the work of
ace in that town and section. A com
unication from his pen, describing some
the missionary features of the work,
ill be found on the inside. Mr. Mac
farlane visited Williamsport on his
journey to this city. He arrived there
at ten o’clock at night, and his hotel waß
directly opposite the Court House, where
pinion services had been in progress for
isome weeks. At that hour, he expected
to find the people dispersed ; on the con
trary, there was still a movement to
wards the Court House, which he en-
Itered and found crowded with upwards of
la thousand hearers, hanging in deep
jand tearful interest upon the speaker,
|Mr. Hammond. The leading ministers
'f the place, Rev. William Sterling and
hers, were with him on the platform,
it was evident that a Greater than
v was also there. In response to
call usually made at the close of
:h services, a multitude arose to ex
!SS publicly their anxiety and their
je. And when Christians were next
fled to rise, the whole congregation
jmed to be on their feet. .
Mr. Macfarlane speaks of a single
leting held by Mr. Hammond, in Troy,
idford County, the effects of which
:e very great.
Revivals in ’. — The church
Belle Plain, (Rev. h 7 Ruli'ffson’s,)
■ recently had anor eleven

Mankato, of which Rev. Mr. Mar
ill is pastor.
Yenango Co., PA.—The church in
ville, under the pastoral charge of
r . W. C. Birchard, has enjoyed a sea
of special Divine influences. At the
imunion season, on the 18th ult.,
irty-nine were received on profession
their faith. Many others are under
>lemn impressions; the church is in
mewed working order, and a continued
leasing is hoped for.
A New Pastor in New York.—Rev.
W. Hitchcock, the newly elected

raerly Dr. Asa D. Smith’s, entered
ton his work last Sabbath. Mr. H.

Church Organized —Eight pVo,
' were organized into the Church of's ai
phur Springs, Mo., iu December, w
Rev. W. S. Post; others are preparer
to unite. Mr. Post says to the JVesfij
Irry Reporter :—7l will add that 1 have
an "order from Rev. Dr. Nelson’s Church
on our Presbyteriin Publication Com
mittee, for $5O worth of books fpr cbr
new Pfturch, and foroui- Sabbath-schopi,
or where ever else I may deem it bast
to use them.”
Another Veteran Gone. —Rev. Ely
Burcbard, of the Presbytery of Utica,
died in Clinton, N. Y., on the 4th ult.
Mr. B. was for a few years, in the earlier
part of his ministry, settled over the
church in Augusta, N. Y., where he
labored with acceptance and success.
The chief part of his life was devoted
to teaching, a work to which he felt
himself more peculiarly adapted. He
had little ambition for wide fame, but
was distinguished within the circle of
his acquaintance for clearness of mind
aud a well comprehended theology of
the Calvinistic type, and also for an
unusual familiarity with the original
texts of the Holy Scriptures. As a
man and a Christian, he won a universal
esteem and affection-. He died at the
age of *7 T. His end was peace, speak
ing with his latest breath of Jesus as
altogether precious, and chief among ten
thousands.
Pew-renting at Red Bluff.- —The
Pacific says: There is one secular
paper in this State, (California,) which
takes a positive interest in the religions
affairs of the place it represents. It is
the Red Bluff Independent. Not a few
of our newspapers spend ten columns on
some notice of a saloon to one they
spend on a Church of Christ. Our Red
Bluff exchange notices all business meet
ings of the church (Presbyterian) in
that place, and we have seen notices
also of the weekly prayer-meetings. Its
last number has a paragraph on the ser
vices held during the Week of Prayer.
Of the recent pew-renting it says:—
“We are happy to state that the de
mand for pews was greater thap ever
we saw it since the church was built,
and shows that our citizens .are deter
mined to sustain the preaching of the
Gospel.”

PRESBYTERIAN.
Deaths in the Ministry.—Rev. John A.
Lewis, of the Indiana Presbytery of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church, died at his
residence in Fort Branch, Gibson Co., Ind.,
on a late Sabbath, at 8 o’clock A. M., after a
protracted illness of chronic diarrhea, con
tracted while in the service of his country as
chaplain of the 10th Indiana cavalry. Rev.
Jesse Edwards, a much valued Western
minister, departed this life on the 7th ult.,
at Plover, Wis., at the age of 47 years.
Rev. Henry E. Crawford, pastor of Pleasant
Church, in Madison Presbytery, Ind., died
of pulmonary disease on the sth tilt. Onhis
dying bed, he reaffirmed the truths which he
had preached, and enjoyed in fulness their
support.
Rev. J. A. Hodge, of Philadelphia, has
become pastor of the Presbyterian church in
Hartford. *
First Pastor Installed in Colorado.—
Rev. Theodore 1). installed
frasroi-artne Presbyterian church of Black
Hawk, Colorado, Feb. 4th, by the newly
formed Presbytery of Colorado. Rev. J. B.
McClure, of Denver, preached the sermon;
Rev. G. M. Campbell, of Boulder, gave the
charge to the pastor; and Rev. Wm. Craw
ford, of the Congregational church, Central
City, gave the charge to the people. This is
the first installation in the Territory of Colo
rado, and over a church which has the only
church-building yet erected in the Rocky
Mountains. — Evangelist.
ANon-Secession Church in Texas.—Dur
ing the entire rebellion the Old School Pres
byterian church at the capital of Texas, Rev.
Wm. M. Baker, pastor, held itself entirely
aloof from the Confederate General Assembly,
never being represented therein, nor in Synod
or Presbytery, these having given in their ad
herence to the same. Mr. Baker; having
entered upon another field of labor, this
church has given a unanimous and cordial
invitation to. Rev. Thaddeus Mcßae, of
South Carolina, to become their pastor.
With the hearty assent of this brother, who
has labored in Texas with great acceptance
for several years, the Austin church have re
solved to continue that connection with the
General Assembly of the United States, which
even the rebellion had failed to sever. The
location of this church, at the capital of Texas
lends an interest to its straightforward ant
steady course, making it a conspicuous ex
ample well worthy of imitation. — N. Y. Ob
server.
A Minister and Editor Disabled —The
North Western Presbyterian announces the
prostration, by paralysis, of its associate
editor, Rev. Alfred Hamilton, D.D, The
hope is expressed that he may not be perma
nently disabled. Dr. Hamilton formerly filled
an important pastorate—that of Fagg’s
Manor, in the neighboring county of Chester,
and enjoyed ldrgely the esteem of the churches
in that region. ,
Revivals. —The Western Presbyterian con
tains the followingfrom Rev. W. R. Brice,
Columbus Grove, Ky.:—“ I wrote you some
time since that the Lord was blessing us here,
in reviving his people and turning sinners to
himself. The good work still goes on. Since
our meeting has commenced, one hundred
and eleven united with the church —one hun
dred and six on examination, and five on cer
tificate.
A short time since, we mentioned the ex
istence of a revival in Rev. Mr. Stevens’
church in Jersey Shore, Pa. We now see it
stated that already forty-seven have been
added on profession of faith. Among these
were persons of forty and sixty-six years old,
who had withstood the influence of the Holy
Spirit during all the past revivals with which
that church has been blessed.
A correspondent writes to the Pittsburgh
Banner : —“We have just closed an interest
ing series of meetings in the church of Kirk
wood, Rev. G. W. Chalfant, pastor, and re
ceived thirty-one members, twenty-three of
whom were -received on profession. This
nearly doubles our active membership in this
little church. ”
The church in Elizabeth, Presbytery of
Redstone, of which Rev. J. Logan Sample
is pastor,, is having a precious season. Forty
four— males and seventeen fe
males—profess hope in Christ, and the work
is growing in power.
A New York letter says ‘ Prayer-meet
ings have been held every day for the last
four weeks in different Presbyterian churches.
Last week these meetings were held in the
First Presbyterian church, on Fifth Avenue,
of which the Rev. Wm. M. Paxton, D.D.,
i late of Pittsburgh, is the pastor. These ser
jvices have been very well attended, and give
Evidences of awakened faith, prayer, and
aetyity among Christians, and also of' some
inqu.y on the part of the impenitent.
In Xmtieello, N. Y., in Rev. Dr. David
son s chW,h, the week of prayer run into a
meeting weeks’ continuance. The
lecture-room was thronged night after night

the Holy Spirit doing its saving work.
Conversions are numerous, mostly among 1
the young. 1
Quite a number of accessions have been s
made to the Presbyterian church, (Rev. E.
McCord’s,) in Clayton, Ind.
The Chicago correspondent of the Presby- :
terian reports revivals in progress in the
churches in Chester, Geneseo, and Cham
paign, all in Illinois.
The same paper says:—“We hear of a
work of grace in Penn’s Valley, Pa., in the
bounds of the charge of the Rev. Robert
Hamill, where the power of the Spirit of
God has been manifested in the conversion
of about thirty-five, while many are deeply
interested in the great question of salvation. ’
The N. W. Presbyterian reports a number of
revivals in Illinois. Among the _ places
named is Kankakee. Bucyrus, Ohio, has
also been blessed. The season of special in
terest dates from the week of prayer.
The Cincinnati Presbyter contains _ the ac
count of a quiet but steadily progressing work
of grace among the young ladies in attend
ance upon the Cooper Female Seminary in
Dayton, Ohio. It is believed that about
twenty have, under its influence, passed from
death unto life. l A revival is also reported
from De Graff, Ohio, and another in the
“Parish Church,” a new and promising field
near De Graff. The pastor at Highland,
Kansas, writes to the same paper that about
forty persons in his congregation have re
cently expressed a hope of salvation, while
others are deeply anxious. Montgomery,
Ohio, and Tipton, Ind., are also scenes of
peculiar religious interest.
The Proposed 0. S. Convention. —The
Cincinnati Presbyter earnestly seconds Dr.
Breckinridge’s proposal for a convention to
meet in St. Louis, in May next, on Tuesday
evening before the Assembly meets, for the
purpose of prayer and conference, in regard
to the state of the Church, and with the view
of preparing a paper to be presented to the
Assembly on the duties, dangers and neces
sities of the Church in the present crisis.
“We propose, ’ ’ says the Presbyter, ‘ ‘ to keep
• Dr. Breckinridge’s call before our readers for
• several weeks, and we ask our ministers and
ruling elders, who approve of such a Conven
' tion, to send inlheir names, that they may
' be published as uniting in calling it. We
s hope this request will not be neglected. Let
it be known how far this measure is approved
in the Church.”
Congregational. —We regret saystthe Con
gregationalist, to record, this week, the dis
missal of several excellent ministers for the
simple reason of inadequate support,; and we
have other instances in mind where similar
action is contemplated for the same cause.
The Congregational Association of Western
Pennsylvania held its annual meeting with
the church in Randolph, Crawford Co., about
eighty miles north of Pittsburg, commencing
Tuesday, February 15th, and continuing un
til the afternoon of Thursday. It was good
to be there. The church was crowded during
all the services with attentive congregations.
George B. Delamater of Meadville, a layman,
was elected a Moderator. He conducted the
business of the meeting with fine spirit and
promptness. The Association comprises
about ten churches, the reports from which
were of the most interesting character, indi
cating the presence of the Holy Spirit, and
waiting and longing, on the part of pastors
and people, for the revival of the work of
grace. The Congregaticnalist has the ac
count of a great work in progress at the Cen
tral Church in Brooklyn (Mr. French’s.)
witTWQj. any special call, the regular .Friday
weeks agty-mra
largelyattended; and so deep was_ the inter
est, that an opportunity was given for persons
to rise for prayers, and six arose. The next
week there were meetings on Monday, Tues
day, and Friday evenings, all of which were
crowded. Since then, meetings have been
held every evening in the week, withasteadily
rising interest. There is no machinery, no
outside help; the pastor preaches on Thurs
day evenings only. All is quiet; but little
visible emotion ; a deep feeling, and an earn
est, fervent spirit of prayer; but the great
instrumentality is personal work Inquirers
seek the pastor’s study from morning to
night. The number of conversions so far is
over eighty, and the interest deepens. What
is remarkable is that most of the converts are
adults; a few have been brought into the
kingdom from the older classes in the Sun
day-school, but it has not yet shared largely
in the blessing. Some whole families have
submitted to God. An unusual proportion
of the converts are men.: of an interesting
circle of young men, all but one are believed
to have found Christ. It not such a work as
this glorious? Hon. Erastus Hopkins, of
Northampton, Mass., was, in early life, en
gaged in the work of the ministry, as pastor
ot the Second Presbyterian Church in Troy,
N. Y. Now, after twenty-five years inter
ruption of his ministry, on account of physi
cal inability, he finds the cause so far remov
ed, that he has connected himself with a
Congregational Association in Massachusetts
with a view of returning to the pulpit.
Reformed Dutch. —The Board of Domes
tic Missions of the Reformed Dutch Church
has inaugurated an effort to raise a “ Church
Building Fund” of $50,000. The first Sab
bath in April is the time designated for simul
taneous collections, and the Board appeal to
every pastor, consistory, head of a family and
Sabbath-school scholar, to make special ex
ertions at that time. The Board of For
eign Missions has been, for some time past,
under serious pecuniary embarrassment. A
liberal friend who has qu.'„e lately given $2500
for its relief, now proposes, through the In
telligencer, to be one of live persons to give
$lOOO or $2OOO each, during the next sixty
days, for the same object.
Lutheran. —Our readers will have DOticed
that a good many revivals have been recently
noticed in the Observer. Special services
have been held by many of our pastors. _ A
religious awakening more or less extensive
has been experienced in many congregations.
Hundreds of immortal beings have been
brought to a saving knowledge of Christ, and
have already been confirmed, or will be at
the approaching Spring Communions. From
the letters that come to hand we are satisfied
that there is a very encouraging state of
things in our Church, within the bounds of
the General Synod. . One feature of the re
cent revivals in our Church is, that they are
carried on in connection with the regular
means o,f grace, and strictly within the Church.
The pastors and elders and praying members
are tne workers. Neighboring pastors lend
their aid. The truth is faithfully preached
by ministers on the ground and those who
live near the place. There is more general
reliance on the truth of the Gospel and the
power of the Holy Spirit, and less on men
and their manner of presenting the truth.
It is felt that Christ, by the ordinary instru
mentality ordained by himself, can build up
His kingdom. The result has been deeper
religious conviction, clearer perception ot tbe
truth by the awakened, more thorough con
versions, more solemnity in the services, and
a purer love ofpiety.-- Lutheran Observer.

bration of Trinity Church in New Haven,

Paul’s Church, New Orleans, has, at an ex
pense of $3OO, placed upon its walls a tablet
in memory of its late Diocesan, Right Rev.
and Gen. Leonidas Polk. The latter of the
above titles is very wisely left out from the
marble.-r —The Diocesan Board of Missions
of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, is aiding in
the support of twenty-nine laborers within its
bounds, at an aggregate expense of $5574.
An itinerant missionary has recently been'
appointed to visit and minister in the unsup
plied villages along the line of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. TPe Board asks, for the
means of carrying this effort out generally
along the routes. ——An Episcopal parish
was recently organized in Oil City, Pa., the
Presbyteriah church edifice being loaned for
the occasion.
Methodist.-—The Western Christian Advo
cate, Methodist, states that upon a careful
examination of its columns for the last five
weeks, it fipds that during that time within
the bounds of its circulation, over ten thou
sand have been added to the membership of
the Methodist Episcopal Church On the
15th day of April, 1866, the African Metho
dist Episcopal Church will have completed
the fiftieth year of its organization. The
membership now numbers abhut seventy-five
thousand. In accordance with the advice of
the bishops, the Bth, 15th, and 16th days of
April, arc to be devoted to special semi-cen
tennial or jubilee services.——The MeUiodist
says, there is likely to be some trouble about
the transfer of the Churches claimed by the
seceding Baltimore Conference. At present
they are deeded to the Methodist Episcopal
Church. A Washington despatch to the
Evening Ppst says:—“The President has
issued an order restoring all the churches
and parsonagse within the bounds of the Bal
timore, Annual Conference, embraced in the
State of Virginia, to the Methodist Episcopal
Church of the United States, held Dy said
churches prior to 1861._ This order further
states that such possession shall be valid until
the civil courts shall have determined in
whom the legal title vests. The effect of the ■
order will be to take from under the control
of the Conference lately sitting in Alexandria,
[the disloyal branch] all suen property, and
place it in the possession of the Baltimore
Annual Conference of the Methodist Episco
pal Church in the United States, which will
meet the last of this month in Baltimore
city.
Baptist.—A new Baptist Church in Stock
ton, Hunterdon County, N. J., was. publicly
“recognized” by an ecclesiastical council, on
the 13th ult. The last National Baptist,
gives the following account of the progress ef
the work of grace in its churches in this city:
—“The pastors of the churches, in which
there has been unusual interest, continue to
be greatly encouraged. Last Lord’s day
baptisms were administered, so far as we
have learned, as follows: by Brother Smith,
ot the Eleventh Church, sixteen candidates;
by Brother Kennard, of the Tenth Church,
thirteen; by Brother Wilder, of the Olivet
Church, thirteen; by Brother Perry, of the
Mariners’ Church, six ; by Brother Lung, of
Germantown, eleven; by Brother Simmons,
of the Fifth Church, three; by Brother Cas

on Sunday evening, and many more are
earnestly desiring to see Jesus.” Instruc
tion has been commenced in the Baptist
Theological Seminary in Chicago. While
waiting for the erection of a. Seminary build
ing, the class is accommodated in the Uni
versity. A large and elegant church at
La Crosse has recently been burned. No
doubt exists that it was a case of incendiar
ism, and it is supposed to have been insti
gated by rum-seller.-, and their customers.
The accounts of revivals, contained in
our Baptist exchanges, still continue numer
ous. ‘
Micellaneous.—The N, Y. Observer takes
from a private letter from Charleston, S. C.,
the following items• —“Church matters are
looking up a little. Jr. Smyth has returned,
and has resigned his pastorate, although he
still supplies the pulpit. The Zion Presby
terian Church occupy the building of the
Globe'Chufch, The Central Church will soon
re-open; repairs are going on. Rev. Lucien
Cuthbert, late of Aiken,. S. C., has settled
with the Citadel Square Baptist Church.
There is a prospect of a temporary union of
the First Baptist Church and the Wentworth
Street Church, to re-open the church in
Wentworth Street. The Methodist Protes
testant Church has been “reconstructed,”
and is now a Lutheran Church: Mr. Bow
maD, the pastor, his former church uniting.
St. Michael’s Church has been repaired and
opened. St. Philips is being repaired. The
Huguenot stands untouched as yet.”
$BOOO in gold was paid in premiums at the
late annual pew venting in Rev. Mr. Steb
bin’s Unitarian Church in San Francisco. ——
A great revival is in progress in Canon City,
Colorado, in which the Baptist and Metho
dist churches are participants. The way is
prepared for the organization of a Presbyte
rian Church in that city, as soon as a minis
ter o_an be found to occupy the field. The
Seminary at Castleton, V t., has been blessed
with a special outporjng of the'Spirit. Each
scholar attends to her school duties as usual,
but all but five or six belonging to the board
ing departments have expressed hope in
Christ. There is also a werk of grace in
Cooper Female Seminary, Dayton, Ohio;
and in the Academy at Homer, N. Y. In
the latter some forty or fifty pupils are indul
ging hope, and the interest is unabated. In
Wheaton College, 111., a precious work of
grace is in progress.
A Noble Charity—Dr. A. G. Egbert, of
Mercer County, in this State, who has realiz
ed a large fortune from oil lands, recently
made the following generous proposal to the
Northern Home for Friendless. Children :
The Doctor will donate 200 acres, near the
town of Mercer, and erect thereon buildings,
to cost not less than $lOO,OOO, and capable
of accommodating from ; 4oo to 500 children.
The benefits of the institution are to accrue
to all friendless children, but especially to the
orphans of soldiers and sailors. Mr. Watson,
also of Mercer County, will contribute an ad
ditional $50,000’. *rhe ground for the build
ings is to be broken early in the spring.
The institution is to .be controlled jointly
by the managers of the Northern Home and
a board of officers from Western Pennsylvania.
These noble offers were unanimously aocepted
by the managers of the Homeland the neces
sary committees for their early consumma
tion appointed.. No present benefit, however,
accrues from this donation to the Northern
Home.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
The Directors of the “Revenue Extension
Silver Mining Company,” pf this city, have re
ceved a telegram from their Superintendent,
dated Austin, February 22, 1866. He says:—
“Atwork on Revenue Extension mine; ore
taken out to-day assayed $457 45 to the ton.
Work on Hopkins’ Tunnel has advanced seventy
feet under contract. ’ ’ This is very flattering
news for all interested, and gives every indica
tion of early receipts of bullion by the Com
pany. The very rich yield of ore from the Ex
tension Mine at this early stage of working, is
an undoubted evidence of the reliability of the
vein, and that the surest proof that the state
ments heretofore made in regard to the value
of this mine have not been exaggerated. The
rapidity with which work is being pushed upon
the Tunnel is also highly encouraging, as a dis
tance of seventy feet has been accomplished in
twenty days by working day and night. Every
effort will be made to push the development of
this extensive property as rapidly'as possible,
and, together with the very rich workings of
the Revenue Extension Mine, it will ere long
furnish large returns of bullion. Now that we
have actual results from the mines, there is
little doubt that the stock of the “Revenue
Extension Silver Mining Company” will prove
the best of this class of investments yet offered,
and a continuace of the energy and economy
now evinced by the officers of this Company
will assuredly result in flattering success.

ALLCOCK’S POROUS PIASTERS. —A
celebrated physician says, “he was amazed at the
great number of beneficial indications produced by
one of these plasters.. He affirms that headache is
ciireinjv'bue-wOrifliist below tFe breast bone"; that
one placed over the itomach will cure hysterics, as
well as dysentery, and affections of the bowels.”
CURE OF VARICOSE VEINS.
City Point, Va., January 24, 1865.
T. Allcock A Co.—Seeing your notice in the Police
Gazette, I got four of your Porous Plasters and placed
them on the parts where the pains were most severe*
and in less than twelve hours could walk as well as
ever. I could hardly believe it, I was so well pleased.
I wanted to see if the lameness would come hack on
me or not, so I did more walking on that day than I
had done in a week. The next day I had some pain
in my hip, but I put on a plaster there, and in two
hours the pain was all gone, nor have A felt it since.
Certainly they arc the best application for*the relief
and cure of pains in the joints and back, and for vari
cose or enlarged veins, I have ever known’, and I
would not be without them on.any account.
Tours, truly, JOSEPH GATEWOOD.
PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. —It is not
likely that the popularity of this celebrated medicine
will in any measure decrease, or that the demand for
it will in the slightest degiee decline, until some
other specific for allaying pain and curing the various
ills for which the Pain Killer is used shall he discov
ered of equal potency with it—of which there would
seem to be little probability at the present day. We
understand that the cost of some of the ingredients
of which the Pain Killer is comppsed, has very much
increased since thecommencement of the war, though
the price of the medicine has been but very little ad
vanced. Indeed it is not only one of the very best
and most reliable medicines in use for numerous ills,
but it is also one of the cheapest. As a remedy for
stomach complaints at this season, or any season of
the year when they occur, we regard it as of the very
highest value; and we speak from experience when
we say this, for we have repeatedly tried it, and invari
ably with the happiest results and the greatest satis
faction. When various other things failed, and we
were growing alarmingly worse, we have taken the
Pain Killer and found it to work like a charm. Three
doses^half a teaspoonful each in a wine glass of water
or mi,jk with a little sugar—has effectually cured us
when quite unwell.— Providence Advertiser. 1031-3 t

DRED AND FORTY-FOUR PORTRAITS ON
STEEL: NUMEROUS MAPS AND DIAGRAMS
OF BATTLE-FIELDS, VEIWB, Etc.
125,000 Copies Sold.
Volume I. of this History, published almost two
years later than th© first part of nearly every other*
already includes among its patrons full 25,000 of the
purchasers of those early works, and is everywhere
recognized as the highest authority, even by the
author's political opponents.
Volume 11. will be Tcady in a few inontbs—at the
earliest day on which a well yrepan-d history of the
war can be obtained. The c*n f ire w<<rk. iiimit&ble
alike in excellence ot plan and detail, will be vastly
superior to any of those now completed, (most e£
which were *' completed" long before Gen; Grant's
report was made,) and by far the most satisfactory
History of the late stupendous struggle—altogether
unequalled for clearness, fulness, and accuracy of
statements, combined with candor and graphic de
lineation of events.
If completed as designed* the work will he authori
ty as to the events of the most wonderful era in the
history ol tbe Country.—A. G. Curtin, Governor q?
Pennsylvania,
It would be difficult to place too high an estimate
on the service Mr. Greeley has rendered our country
hy the preparation of this volume. * * * I await
the forthcoming of the second volume with eager ex
pectation.—Wu. D. Kelley. M. C,
It bears the marks of labor, studied candor and
accuracy.—Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State.
The narrative is simple and clear, with so much of
life and spirit in it that it is next to impossible not to
read a whole chapter without stopping. * * * It
will be, and ought to he read by all our countrymen.
—Edgar Cowan. 17. S- Senate.
lts accuracy gives it a value beyond any other his
tory of that eventful period. The great industry and
impartiality of Mr. Greeley will make this the text of
all future histories of the Great Rebellion. — Thaddeus
Stevens If. C.
Uf all the Histories of the Great Rebellion which I
have examined* this one seems to me the best in the
copiousness of its antecedent and concurrent Con
gressional Records, as well as of »be events of the war
itself.— Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of U. S. House of
Peps.
