Llppincott & Co. Mr. Stifle, well known as the author of the powerful pamphlet, "How a Great People Should Conduct a Long War," has come before the pub lic in a handsomely printed volume, with a sub ject tor his pen capable of developing all the power which he possesses. He has executed his task with an elegance of diction and a pleasant perspicuity of narrative which ralees our al ready high estimate of his literary ability. His mall history of the Sanitary Fair did not give kin an opportunity. The present work gives him a full chance, and he hits availed himself f it. His work forms a glorious monument to that vonificence never excelled in the record of the world, of that generosity never equalled in the amnals of mankind, which was displayed by the American people while our land was plunged in war the freedom with which we pourei out our treasures, the services rendered the cause not only by wen, but by women Ood bless them! who, scorning all the comforts of home, went forth, and did as good deeds as were ever re corded. This book Is a record of one of these great twin charities the giant Commissions of the age. The author had access to all the official documents connected with the working of the association. He narrates it without going into unnecessary mtnutia-, nor yet falling into more platitudes and generalities. Every one who en gaged in the glorious work will secure a copy of the book, and, in addition, all who feel a just pride in what the great North did during the (Jreat Rebellion. Spanish Papers, and other Miscellanies, hitherto unpublished and uncollected, by Washington Irving. Edited by Pierre M. Irving. 2 volumes. New York, U. P. Put nam and Hurd & Houghton. Most of the sketches contained in these two volumes fall uuder the head of "uncollected," jrather than "unpublished" productions of Irving. They form a most valuable addition to hhs works, as heretofore they were only found in odd numbers of magazines and ont-ot'-the- way places. They complete, we believe, all the lite rature of that gifted son of genius, and should toe procured by all those who have possessed themselves of the rest of the series, as well as all admirers of the most pleasaut of all modern writers. Of course wo shall not attempt to review the contents in the space devoted to an ordinary book review. Their titles indicate that their specialty is Spanish history and Spanish legend. They abound m that glowing imagery which only Irving could evoke, and are written In that clear Saxon style which, par excellence, he has rendered his own. In regard to the typographical execution, we cannot bestow too high praise. Neatly and sub stantially bound, clearly printed on rich cream laid paper, they excel in what all book lovers most admire. They come from the Riverside presses, which in itself is sufficient guarantee lor their beauty. Ballads, Lyrics, and Hymns. By Alice Carey .New York: Ilurd & IJ.oueb.ton. Philadelphia Agents: Ashmead k Evans, No. TU Chesnut street. The most beautiful, literally the most perfect, book, in a typographical point of view, which we have ever seen, is the edition of Miss Carey's poems belore us. If their literary style was as good as the dress in which they come to us, we would hail them with peculiar joy. Of the three classes ol poetry, we think that Miss Carey suc ceeds far better in the ballads than in the lyrics, and In the hymns than in the ballads. Many of Ler devotional papers breathe a spirit of Chris tianity, and heartfelt, soul-stirring sentiment, touched with it delicate grace which peculiarly recommends them. Of all the works, of this class we admire most the one entitled "All in AIL" But of so many really good picees it is a fthame to make a selection. Her ballads are most ot them simple, pleasant thoughts, jotted tlowa without any great elaboration. We should judge that they were the leisure employment of a literary life. They hardly possess sufficient uonl. They are flying and too passing. There are some of them which will make an ensuring impression. All are pleasant, but none of them have stability. We are pleased with the work as a whole, although its parts do not present any particular excellence. As a gift book we think it has few superiors. All of its powers tend to make it peculiarly acceptable, and the splendid style of its publication will make it a welcome visitor In every parlor. The Ditink Attributes. By Emanuel Sweden borg. J. 1. Llppincott k Co.: Philadelphia. This is a carefully selected collection of the doctrines of the mueh abused Sweuenborg, as made from his own writings. We are glad that the people will have an opportunity of reading, in a popular form.the tenets of one of whom none but theologians know anything, although all qaote from him, and pretend familiarity with his views. The work la clearly printed, and will receive a large religious circu lation, aot only from those who agree with the "Seer," but from all whose curiosity on the subject of his views prompt them to explore lor themselves. BANCROFT'8 HliTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. Volume IX. Little, Brown & Co. Boston: The present volume takes us down to the ter mination of the actual war of the Revolution. It is written In the same style as its predeces sors rich and heavy, with a care and solidity which command respect. We give an extract irom it, which, as it relates to a subject of local interest, we think, will be found generally popu lar with our readers: The village of Germantown formed for two miles one continuous street. At its centre it was crossed at right angles by Howe's encamp ment, which extended on the riirht to a wood, and was cruarded on its extreme kit bv Hessian yagers at the Schuylkill. The 1st Battalion of JlRht infantry and the Queen's American Hangers ere advanced in front of the right winu. the "id Uattalion supported the lurthest pickets ot the Ut at Mount Airv. about two miles from tue camp; nd at the head ot the villaire, in ah. open field. near a )arBe stone house known as that of CbWi the 40th Ketriment, uuder the veteran Mils !nun r,liv.n,l iu lonii lnfurniu. tion of the intended attack reached Howe, but jie receivea u wuu ineredalitv. About noon on tut third. Wfuhlnftou. at Ma tuchen Hills, announced to his army his purpose to move upon Germantown. He spoke to thein cf the successes of the northern army, and ex plained "that Howe, who lav Ht n iixt neveral miles from Cornwallis, had further weak ened himsefi Dy seniuncr two battalions to Bil- lingtort. II they would be brave and patient, he mlpht on the next day lead them to victory." Thus he inspired them with his own hopnlnl couraec. A defeat of the Insulated Britisn army must have been Its ruin. His plan was to direct the chief attack upon its rifttit, to which the ap proach was easy , and (or that purpose, to Greene, in whom of all his generals he most confided, ho gave the command of his left wine, composed of the divisions ol Greene and of Stephen.and flanked by Mactlougall't brieade. These formed about two thirds of all his ctlective force. The divisions of Sullivan and Wayne, flanked by Conway's brigade, and followed by Washington, with the brigades of Nash and Maxwell, under Lord Stirling, as the reserve, assumed the more diffi cult task of engagioe the British left. To dis tract attention, the Maryland and New Jersey militia were to make a circuit and come upon the rear of the Hritish riffht. while on the oppo site side Arroftrong, with the Pennsylvania militia, was to deal heavy blows on the iiessian yscers. The different columns received orders to con duct their march of about fourteen mile? to as to arrive near the enemy In time to rest, and to begin the attack on all quarters at daybreak. Accordingly, the rinht wing, alter marching all nipht, halted two miles in front of the British outpost; and took refreshment. Then, screened by a fog and marching in silence, the advance party surprised the British picket. The battalion of Ihiht infantry offered a aallant resistance; but when Wavne's men, whom Sullivan's division closely followed, rushed on with the terrible cry: "Have at the bloodhounds! Kevenge 1 revenge !" the bnle sounded a retreat. The can non woke Cornwallis iu Pbiladelohia, who Instantly ordered his British grenadiers and Hessians to the scene ot action; Howe, in like manner startled from his bed. rode up just in time to see the battalion running away. "For shame, lieht infantry l1' he cried in anger; "I never saw you retreat before. Form ! form ! it is only a scouting party." But the cutting grapeshot lroni three of the Ameilcau cannon rattling nbout him showed the scriousucss of tne attack, and he rode off at full speed to pre pare his camp for battle; while Musgrave, de la lung a part of his regiment to suoport the luuitives, threw hin.6elf with six companies into Chew's house, and barricaded its lower windows and doors. Greene should by this time havo eupaged the British right; but nothing was heard from Bny part of tils wing. In consequence, as the divisions ot Sullivan and Wayne approached Chew's house together, Sullivan directed Wayne to pas to the lelt of it, while he advanced on its right. In this manner they were separated. The aovance was slow, for it was made, not in column, but iu line, while the troops kept up an incessant tire at every house and hedge wttcie the pursuit was checked. Wnshinettn, with Maxwell's part of the reserve, summoned Musgruve to surrender; but the officer who curried the white Hag was tired upon and killed; the brave Chevalier lu plcspis Mauduit, who, with John Laurens, of South Carolina, forced and mounted the window on the ground-floor to set the Iiourc on tire, was not supported by men with combustibles, aud, incredible as it may seem, the two gallant and adventurous youths iietired slowly and safely under a tire from both stories of the house. The cannon was too litrht to breach the walls. Driven forward by his own nnxiety and the zeal of the young officers of his staff, Washington left a single reeiment to watch the house,' and with the rest of the reserve advanced to the front of the battle and remained there to the last. And where was Greene? From some cause which he never explained, he reached the British outposts three-quarters of an hour later than the troops with Washington; then, at a very great distance from the force which he was to have attacked, he formed his whole wing, and thus in line of battle attempted to advance two miles or more through marshes, thickets, and strong and numerous post and rail lencei. Irretrievable disorder was the consequence; the division; be came mixed, and the line was broken. Macdou gall never got into the fight; and Greene was left w ith only the brigades of Scott and Muhlen berg. These entered the village and at tacked the British right, which had had ample time for preparation. They were outflanked, and after about fifteen minutes of heavy firing were driven back; and the regi ment which had penetrated lurthest was cap tured. Stephen with one of his brigades came up with the left of Wayne's Division; Woodford, who commanded the other, and was on the extreme right of the wine under Greene, strayed to Chew's house, which he found watched by a single regiment, halted there with his whole brigade, and took no part in tbe battlo except to order his light field-pieces to play upon us walls. This new and unexpected cannonade was exactly in the rear of Wayne's division; they imagined it to be the Are of the British right; and throwine off all control, they retreated in disorder. Armstrong, with his militia on the extreme right, considered it his duty "rather to divert the foreigners than to come in contact with them;" so he did no more than "cannonade them from the heights on the Wlssahiccon." Sullivan's men, with the eagerness of young troops, and against the order of Washington, had expended their ammunition often without j nn object. The battalions from Philadelphia, advancing on a run, were close at hand. In th.e fop, parties of Americans had repeatedly mistaken each other for British. At about half- past eight, Washington, who. "in his anxiety exposed himself to the hottest fire,"' seeing that the day was lost, gave the word to retreat, and sent it to every division, uare was taken tor the removal of every pieco of artillery. "Bri tish officers of the first rank sail that no retreat was ever conducted in better ordor," and they and the German officers alike judged the attack to have been well planned. Greene on that dav "fell under the frown" of the commander-in-chief. Had the forces in trusted to him, and the militia with Armstrong. acted as efficiently as the troops with Washing ton, the day might have been latal to Howe's army. The renewal of an attack so soon after tne defeat at the Brandywine, and its partial success, inspirited Congress and the armv. In Europe, it convinced the Cabinet of the King of France that the independence of America was assured. We have received from Mr. J. S. Claxton, No. 1214 Chesnut street, a number of children's works, all pleasantly written, and of interest to the little ones. Among them are "Nettie Wal lace," "Charity Helstone," "Duties and Difficul ties." Also, a fresh primer by MagllL, which, from a cursory examination, recommends itself to us both because of Us fulness and its practi cality. -Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers. No. 30G Chesnut street, send us "The Story of Eliza- oem," py mib Mackay. It is a pleasantly writ ten ana touching story, and will find admirers among those who love the true, while they dislike the sensational. It is pure in its teach ings, and every way commends itself to general readers. The same firm has also Issued "Married at Last," by Annie Thomas, and "Fanchon " both of which should have a large share of patronage. They have a vast supply of new books, which will be issued week after week as the season progresses. The advanced proof-sheets of "Wouicu of the War," by Frank Moore, lie before us. They promise fo make a most valuable aud interest ing work. Among the Philadelphians treated of we notice Mrs. Ewing, Harris, Husband Haines, Jones, Lee, Ross, and Miss Patterson From what we have seen, we can promise the public a truly interesting and valuable addition to our war literature.

UX hOCJL fciucot. one door INFORMATION FOR THE PEOPLE, Proposed Amendment to the Consti tution. THE UNION REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. "Resolved, By tbe Renate and Hons of Representa tives of the United Males or America, two-third of both Ilonses concurring That the following Article lie proponed to the Legislatures ot the nevnral Htate. M an amendment to the Constitution of the Unhed B'atns. which when ratified by three fourth, of said legislature., shall be valid as part ol the Oonatltu tion. vis i 'Article 14. flection 1. All persons born m atn rallied In the I rl'ed states, and subect to the Jurisdic tion thereof, are citizens ot the TJnl'txd mates and of the Mate wherein the? re.ide. JSo Ktate shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or Immunities ot citizens of the United 8tates nor shall any Htate deprlre any person of lite, liberty, or pro Dertv without dne process ot law. not denr to anv ner- son within its Jurisdiction tbe equal protection of the la we." This section makes cltlsonship uniform in all the Slates, and protcots citizens both North and Booth ; for ezamplo, Sooth Carolina most treat rennsylva nlans with the same respect that she treats nor own citizens. "Hectlon 2. Reprseentatlve shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers. counting tbe. whole nniaber of persons in each Htate, excluding Inclans not taxed) but whenever the right to vote at anv election tor President or Vioe-l'rest-Oent, and lor the United States representatives In C.n gresi, executive ami judicial Ulcers, or the members of the Legislatures thereof. Is denied to any male Inhabitant of such State, belnr twenty-one years 4 age, and clti sens ol the (.'sited fctates. or In any way abridged, ex cept tor participation In rebellion or other crime, the basis ! representation therein shnll be reduced In the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age In such Htate." This section fixes the basis ot representation in Congress upon the population of the sovoral States, witn this proviso, that whore a State denies the elec tive franchise to any of its qualified male olttzons ot 21ycats oi age (which auy State is allowed to do under this section), that then its representation iu Congress shall bo proportionately reduced, thus regulating the representation in Congress by the number of voters in each State. Under tbe old Con stitution, the South had throe-fifths of all her slaves added to her free population to fix her representa tion in Congress bow that siavorv is abolished she will have two-fifths more added thereto, and thus come back nndor the old Constitution with increased power, and would thus make the vote of one white man in the South nearly equal to two in the North. This is the reason why tho Uobols are now opposing thin part of the amendment. 'Sections. No person shall be a Penator or Repre sentative In Congress or clectorot President or Vice President, or hoid any ofllce, civil or military, under the United States, or under anv State, who, having pievlotisly token an oath as a member of Convrexs.or as an ofllccr of the United States, or as a member of anv Mate Legislature, or as an executive or civil oitlccr of any stale, lo support ine lonsumrion ot tne (inuea Slates, shall have enpeged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or giving aid or com lort to the ene mies thereof j but Congress msy, by a vote of two thirds in each Bouse, remove such disability." ilio intentitM of this section is to give the offices to tho Union men of tho South, so that we shall have perpetual peace, and so that Jefferson Davis and other (.traitors like him shall uev'er again control this Government, and thus endanger its liberties. If those leading Kebols should continue to bold the offices in the South, we shall havo no peace, but, on the contrary, perpetual strife. Thoy have done enough already. They should have no further say. Their children will succeed to the rights which they will lose by their treason; this is enough, in all conscience. This section, you will observe, ap plies those Rebels only who have heretofore held office and faiten an oath to support the Constitution of the United States; should any hardships arise thorc by, Congress may grant relief by a two-thirds vote. "Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United btntes, authorized by law, Including that In curred In payment ot bounties and pensions for services In suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not lie questioned; ana neither the Lnltcft Htates, nnr any Htate shall assume or Dav an v debt or obllffntlnn In curred In aid of Insurrection or rebellion agalust the United States, or any claim tor loss or emancipation of any slave; nut an sucn cents, obligations, and claims snail tie neia illegal ana voia." This section will cut off all future hope on the part of tbe Rebels of securing payment for their slaves or of tbe Rebel debt, and thus relieve our country from future sectional strife POLITICAL.
