BEVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
Bistort of ran United Status Sanitary Com
munion. By Charles J. Blillc. Philadelphia;
J. B. 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hitherto unpublished and uncollected, by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jrather than "unpublished" productions of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.

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
