JJfSTORT or THK AMRKtOAN CIVIL WAR. W
John WilllHm Draper, M ) LU 1). In three
volume -.Volum2. . l'uWlened. by Harper A
Brothers. 1
' The Morjof the Brreat American Rebellion,
that etnpcndom wickedness, which, under the
'lrovl(lctce of God, was tb'e moans of jiuttlnr? an
end to that still greater crime, human ilavery,
la too familiar to us of the present generation
who have participated In the conflict, for us to
require the service of Iho historian to Impress
the facts upou oor memories. The history of the
war is yet to be written, for the man is not livlnt?
now who Is eqnBl to tbe task. With our eyes
Btill tinarllnff with the euioke of battle, with
the noise of the guns still ringing in our ears,
and ene-aged as we are In the great labor ol re.
pairing the devastations of t civil war of four
years, It is Impossible that the work
of recording events and drawing; the proper
deductions from them can be approached la that
calm, impartial, and philosophical spirit which
Is necessary for the historian when discussing a
great crisis like that which was precipitated
when old Edmund Ruflin fired the first shot on
Fort Sumter. The milrou'ln, the telegraph, the
press, ami other appliances of modern Ufo which
bring tbe confines of the continent nearer
together than the boundaries ot a State were a
hundred years apo, offer facilities, however, for
collecting and disseminating information which
were unimngined by the old time chronicler.
The labors of the future historian will therefore
be increased as well as lightened, and his great
est difficulty will be to digest the mas of infor
mation which has been collected.
With a full appreciation of the importance of
the subject, care has been taken to collect the
materials for the history of tbe war, and to put
them into shape; but, in the archives of the
Confederate Government, and among the sol'
tliers and people of the Southern States there
are records of facts and statements of events
from a rebel point of view which would throw
much llpht on doubtful points, and which it Is
essential that the historian should be acquainted
with before he can be properly fitud for his
work.
Contemporary history, however, has a value
of its own as bung the tcs'imony of eye-wit-nessec,
and Dr. Draper's work is the most elabo
rate, and the most satisiactory account of the
rise, progress, and final downfall of the
Rebellion that has vet appeared. In
the volume before us the narrative
includes tbe period between the 4th of Marub'
1861, and tbe 1st of January, 1SG3, or from the
first inaugnratlon of Jlr. Lincoln to tbe issuing
ol the Emancipation Proclamation.
It Is too much the fashion of the present day
to speak flippantly about the judgment of those
Who previous to or even after the battle of Bull
Run failed to appreciate the magnitude of the
impending conflict. The tact was, however,
that there were only a few far-seeing men who
were impressed with any adequate idea of the
real nature tHi objects of the battle which was
to be fought. The attack on Fort Sumter
aroused the loyal portiou of the nation to arms
but the numerical strength of the North
was to great that the general Impression
was that the contest would be short,
sharp and decisive, and it required
such a disaster as that of Bull Run
to bring about a realizing sense of the greatness
of the work which bad been undertaken. The
downfall of slavery was hoped for rather than
expected by a comparatively small number, and
tbe main idea with tho;e wbo volunteered their
services after the -proclamation of the 15th of
April, 1861, was the preservation of the Union
at all hazards; and if the annihilation of tbe
flave 6 j stem had been announced as the policy
of tbe Government at that time it would only
have given strength to the Southern cause. It
was not until defeat alter defeat bad taught us
what war really was that the Northern people
beem to appreciate properly the fact that
slavery was at the bottom ot the troubl, and
. that the appointed time had come for
removing that blot upon our escutcheon.
Air. Lincoln understood the real issue m little
as any one, and Mr. Lincoln, as the represent
ative man of the nation, was extremely reluc
tant to take decisive action in this matter; but
in the fullness ot time he grew in knowledge and
grace, like many others, and when the proper
moment krrived he issued the immortal docu
ment which for the first time in our history
made the words of the Declaration of Independ
ence, that "all men are created, free and equal,"
anything more tban empty mockery. Generals
Hunter and Fremont were sharply rebuked for
their interference with the slavery question, and
on the occasion of an Interview with a delcga.
lion from Chicago, who urged upon him the
necessity of emancipation, Mr. Lincoln ex
plained his views of the matter as follows:
"What good would a proclamation of eman
cipation from me do as we are now situated? I
do not want to Issue a document which the
. whole world will see must necessarily be Inope
rative, like the Pope's Hull against ihe Comet.
'Would my word free the slaves, when I uannot
even enlorce the ConslUullon In the Kebel
States? Is there a single court, or magistrate,
or Individual that would be Influenced by It
there? And what reasou Is there to think it
w ould have any greater effect upon tbe slaves
tban tbe late law of Congress which I approved,
and which offers proteciloa and freedom to the
slaves of Kebel masters who eome within our
lines? Yet I cannot learn that l!?'. law has
caused a single slave to come over to us
"Now tell me, If you please, what possible
result of good would follow the issuing of such
a proclamation a you desire. Understand, I
rafbe no objections against It on legal or consti
tutional grounds; lor, as oommnnder-lu-ohief
of the army and navy, in time of war I suppose
.. I have a right to take any measure whloh may
best subdue tbe enemy; nor do I urge objec
tions of a moral nature lu view ot possible con
sequences of insurrection and massacre at tbe
BouUi. I view this matter as a practical war
measure, to be decided on aooordiug to the ad
vantngesor disadvantages it my offer to the
suppression of the liabelllon.
'I admit that slavery U at the root of the Re
bellion, or at least its nut qua non. The ambi
tion of politicians may have luHigated them to
act, but they would have been Impotent with
out slavery as their Instrument. I will also
concede that emancipation would help us In
Kurope, and convince people there that we are
Incited by something more than ambition I
frant farther that It would help somewhat at
he North, though not so much, 1 fear, as you
and those you represent Imagine, mill, some
additional strength would be added In that
way to the war; and then, unquestionably, it
would weaken the Kebels by drawing off their
laborers, which Is of great Importance, but I am
tt J couia uo muoh with the blacks.
If we were to arm them, I fear that In a lew
weeks the arms would be in the bauds of the
Kebels, and. Indeed. tim8 far we have not bud
arms enough o equip our white troops. . . .
'Do not inlsuudernuna ,ne because I have
mentioned these objections They indicate tbe
difficulties that have thus far prevented mv
action In some snob way as you deiitre. I have
not decided stalest a proclamation of liberty
to tbe slaves, but bold the matter under advise
ment. And I can assure you t hat the subject
is on my mind, by day and by nltjbt, more tuan
any other. Whatever shall appear to be God a
Will, that I will do."
After this came Lee's invasion of Pennsyl
vania. The capital was threatened, una U
seemed mere that likely that tee Rebels wnld
be In a position to dictate their own terms. Tbe
strong feeling that lmpreftecl tbe Pretrleit
more and more every day, tbat he wa but an
instrument In the hand ot lha Almighty, now
became predominant, and he was lully awakened
to the fact that It was his duly to remove tbe
real cause of all the blood which had been Bind.
"I made a solemn vow before God," said Mr.
Lincoln subsequently, 'That if General Lee was
driven back from Maryland, I would crown tbe
result by a declaration of freedom to the sUves.'
The buttle of Antietam was fought, Lee was
driven back on the 19th of September, 1862, and
on the 22d of tbe same month Mr. Lincoln issued
bis proclamation announcing his intention on
the 1st of January, 18G2, to declare all persona
held as slaves in the Kebel States thenceforward
and forever free; at tbe same time he conside
rately offered compensation to all slaveholders
who would submit to the authority of the Go.
vetnment. The effect of this announcement
was to excite the Rebels to greater wrath, while
mony lojal men trembled at the probable
result. The proclamation ol freedom was issued
nevertheless, in spite of the rage of enemies
and the trembling of friends. We quote the
following eloquent passage, In relation to this
great event, lrom Dr. Draper's preroration:
"J rom the rivers of Virginia to the Mexlean
con Out s of the republics arose n mournful wail
How long, O lioid I bow long t it came from
the wtary laborer, leaning on his hoe la the
cotton-field under Ihe noontide sun 11 citrus
tbiough the moaning midnight forests, solum n
and cleur above their multitudinous lnarttou
late sounds It came from children torn from
their parents, from wives and husbands pit ted
at the auction block, from mothers lu despair.
lrom strong men fulutlug uuder the lash, from
the BRtd whose heads were frosted by lime. In
their quslut prayeis the Afnoaus talktoUod
as a man talks faco to fnoe wlta bis friend,
slavery bad inado Him their friend. By the
llickeiing fires of their cabins tuey stealthily
spelled out tbe Bible to see what He had pro
mised to them. It was their dreadful lot tbat
bad caused Jefferson, hlmelf a slave-owner, to
expostulate solemnly with big countrymen,
audio deprecate the wrath of Uod. For wbo
shsll escape when from the hand of Eternal
Justice her scales have dropped ns useless
when from her brow the bandage has been
raised that ber uncovered and angry eyes may
peze upon unutterable wrong wnen ber up
1 1 lied arm, quivering with Indignation, is re tdy
to strike a blow that shall make a whole conti
nent tremble?
' On the evening of the last day of the year
1862, many of those Africans, who were living
In towns, and who were connected with various
Christian denotuluatiooH, repaired to their
places of worship, and waited lor the midnight
clock to strike. Many of those who were living
on plantations kuelb down In their humble
cabins, with their wives and children. Many
of ibose wbo were alone, and had no friend in
tbe world, went Into the woods. In presence of
that eye which pleroes the darkness as well as
the light. They prayed that Almighty God
would tako pity upon them, and strengthen
the band of Abraham Lincoln on the coining
day."
The events related in the volume under con.
sideration are connected with the great work
which tbe forces of the Government were called
upon to perform during the first period of the
war, as thus 6tatcd by the author in his Pre"
face: '-To put the seceded States, on their
inland, river, and sea boundaries, under strict
blockade. This bele?guerlng, or state of siege,
was effectually accomplished. To open the
Mississippi river, obstructed by the Inhabitants
on its lower borders. The achievement of this
constituted the idea of the free West
To capture Richmond. This constituted
the popular idea of tbe East." The
innumerable battles and sieges, the vast mili
tary campaign?, as well as the political move
ments of the period between the accession of
Mr. Lincoln and the issue of the Emancipation
Proclamation, are related by Dr. Draper in a
graphic and perspicuous manner, and erects
are grouped together so as to present the whole
subject in understandable rtyle. In the compo
sition ot the work he has been assisted by the
advice and counsel of some of the chief actors
in the events described, who have given him
muck important aid and often confidential
Information. The third and concluding volume
of this history will contain the events from the
Emancipation Proclamation to the close of tbe
war.
Children wiTn TnE Poets. Bv Harriet B.
McKeever. Published by Claxtou, Iieinseu &
iiafleiauper.
The compiler of this volume has had in mind
the important Influence which genuine poetry
exerts in cultivating the minds aud refining the
tastes of the young. Having been for a number
of years engaged in the work of education she
has felt the want of a suitable book of poetry to
be put in tbe hands of children as a class-book,
and this collection is an attempt to supply the
desideratum. The selections are adapted to tbe
capacity of children between tbe ages of eight
and fourteen, and while many of the poems are
by English, American, and German authors of
eminence, a large portion of the work is com
posed of gems gathered (root the corners of
newspapers, old scrap books, and similar
sources. Miss McKeever has exercised much
judgment and good taste in her selections.
and most of them are well calculated to
interest as well as instruct the minds of
children, and, in the language of tbe
compiler, "to inculcate a reverence lor
holy things and places, for goodness In
every lank, pity for all the woes ot man, ten
derness towards the enemy, and forgiveness to
those who have wronged us." A lew of the
pieces are hacknied, 6uch us Clement C. Morris'
"Night Before Christmas;" Mrs. IlewanV "Casa
Bianca;"and Miss Jane Porter's "Chatterbox;"
and we would be glad to see a book of poetry
for children In which tbey were cot Included
At tbe end of the volume Mis McKeever has
given seven poems of her own , which are equal
in merit to the most of those which precede
them.
From G. W. Pitcher, No. 808Chesnut street
we have received "Grace Owen's Engagement,"
the latest Issue of Lbring's tales of the day.
This story is a reprint of Llackwood'i Magazine,
and it represents the perplexities of an artist
who fell lu love with one young lady while he
was engaged to another. Tbe ending is tragical,
but the story Is well written, and very Inte
resting.
J. P.Skelly & Co., No. 27 S. Seventh street,
sends us Grandma's Wardrobe," a religious
story adapted to the mental, capacities of young
children.
."Godolphln," just issued by J. B. Lippln
cott & Co., completes their "Globe" edition of
Bulwer's novels, which have been in course of
publication lor many months past. The low
price, $160 per volume, and the neat manner in
which this edition is gotten up has made it
very popular. The paper is good, the type
clta'-, and tbe binding tasteful. The twenty twe
volumes, comprising the series, will make an
attractive appearance on the shelf of a library.

soon tiie of repeating. In "Mictnll-

"The Candidates lor next Parliament" an atti
cle which is not meant to be pro'ound, but is
full of the sort of information which only he cm
supply who knows London and its clubs, in
cluding Parliament itself, "the best club in
London," as it is otten called. It is no doubt
true, as Mr. Dicey says, that the character of
tho next Paillament is determined in advauce.
Out ot 1200 or 1400 candidates already in the
field, sn overwhelming majority belong to one
or another of the classes which were dominant
in the House, the representatives ot land or of
money, who have been mote picturesquely de-

At a late meeting ot the Fans Acidemyof
Medicine, a curious paper was r-aa, on oehait
of M. Dubois, of Anilrn. entitled "Investigations
into tbe death of Julius Ctesar." M. Dubois
having locked up the various passages refer

found in Dion Cassius. Plutarch. Suetonius.

another, has fixed tho spots where the four Brit
wounds were inflicted, and the names of the
conspirators wbo inflicted tbem. The first
blow, struck bv one of the brothers Caca.
produced a slight wound underneath tbe left
clavicle; the kecond, struck by the other Casca,
penetrated the walls of the thorax, towards tbe
right; Cafsius Inflicted the third wound in the
face. I'ecimus Drums gave tne fourth stab in
tne ronton ot the erotn. Contrarv to the cene-
ral opinion. Marcus Brutus, tkou:h one of tho
conspirators, did not strike the Dictator. After
the first blows Ctetar fainted, and then all tbe
conspirators hacked his body. He was carried
ty three slaves in a Utter to bis bouse. Anstis-
tius, the physician, was called in aud found
thirty-five wounds, only one of which was in
bis opinion fatal, that ol the second Canca.
Tbe cheap magazines of a low class which
are prepared for the usa of juveniles have often
been denounced, but never with so much riaor,
s far as we have observed, as by a writer in
Mr. Siiurgeon journal, called The Sword and

indelicacy" over these publications. The
