G THE DAILY EVfiflwG MtfcGiUWl--PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER C, 1868. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. Dallas Oalbbahh. A Novel. By Mm. R, Harding Dayia. Tabllahed bj J. B. Ltppln cott & Co. This story, which exoited orach Attention during Its serial publication in HppincotCi Magazine, has now been issued In book form. M a work of art "Dallas Galbraith" Is A de cided adranoe over Mrs. Davis' previous works: the style is vigorous and compact, the story Is unencumbered with an unnecessary word, and It shows more self-oonfidenoe and less self consciousness than anything that has yet oome from this author's pen, and it will advance Iter far towards front-rank position among American notion-writers. It is gratifying to See that the day is at hand when our novel ists no longer consider it necessary to hamper themselves with English precedents, but that they are able to find the subjects of romanoe amid the stirring scenes and living men and women of Amerioan society of the present day. "Dallas Galbraith" is an American novel in every sense of the word; and what ever is strange and weird about it is due to the genius of the writer, who understands the art of throwing a halo of romanoe about the aoenes, Incidents, and people of our every-day life. Mrs. Davis does not deal in puppets: her characters are characters with a stamp of in dividuality in eaoh of them, from the first to the last. The plot of the story is subordi nated to the develpmentof the characters, and it Is in her ability to draw intellectual por traits of real men and women that we con sider Mrs. Davis claims to a high tank as a notion-writer mainly rest. The story, how ever, is deeply interesting on its own aooount, albeit we think that the conclusion slightly savors of the melo-dramatio. We have not the disposition to quarrel with the author about a point which is after all pretty muoh a matter of individual taste, especially where there is so much excellence to be oommended; and we take pleasure in expressing the pinion that "Dallas Galbraith" is not only the best of Mrs. Davis works, but that it is one of the strongest and most vigorous Ame rican novels ever written. Recollections of a Bust Life. By Horaoe . Greeley. Published by J. B. Ford & Co., New York. Philadelphia agents: Charles S. Greene & Co., No. 413 Chesnut street. The life of Horace Greeley has been a busy one, and no prominent American of the pre sent day has exerted or does exert a more widespread influence than he. Whether right or wrong, Mr. Greeley has never hesitated to express his opinions in the freest and mo3t decided manner; and friends and enemies alike concede to him a thorough honesty of purpose, Whether they coincide with him on all points or not. mat sucn a man as uoraoe ureeiey should make enemies is necessary, and for the last thirty years he has enjoyed the fortune of being the best abused individual in the United States. Not being as thiok-skinned as some of his contemporaries, Mr. Greeley is often stung to the quick by the vituperations of his opponents, and he does not hesitate to reply in the same style that he is attacked. Through all the vicissitudes of fortune, however, amid all the great politioal changes that have passed over the country during the time that he has been actively engaged In the hottest of the fight always battling for what he believes to be the j right his invincible Integrity has obtained for him the confidence and esteem of the publio, even among those who differ with him most decidedly. The papers entitled "Reoolleotions of a Busy Life," now published in book form, weae originally written for the New York Ledgir. When first applied to by Mr. Bonner for a series of biographical remlnisoences, Mr. Greeley positively refused to furnish them; but on mature deliberation he oonoluded that he had an opportunity offered him to commu nicate to thousands of readers, many of them young persons, information whioh would be of praotioal value, and he aooordlngly reoalled his hasty negative, and oommenoed writing his Reoolleotions in the Intervals of more pressing engagements. , TheBe papers give the history of Mr. Greeley's struggles for an eduoation, struggles for a living, and struggles and tri umphs in his efforts to establish himself in a position of influence and usefulness. The volume before us contains some additional papers, and those previously published have been revised and amended. A number of in teresting and valuable essays on various sub jects are also given as an appendix, together with the entire disouBsion on the subject of Marriage and Divorce between Mr. Greeley and Robert Dale Owen, whioh was carried on in the columns of the Tribune in 18C0. We find many passages of interest in this volume, which we would like to set before our readers If our spaoe would admit; and amid Such a variety the difficult is to make a selec tion. We give as a sample, however, the following sensible remarks from the essay entitled "Literature as a Vocation," as worthy the attention of those who aspire to fame and position in the republio of letters, and who think that their genius is unappreciated if they do not obtain immediate suocess: "Inevitable, then, is It, and by no means to be lamented, that In au ace so eventful and Btlrrlug aa onra, an Innumerable multitude hould aspire to write that la, to teaon. Nay, It la greatly to be demred, and every way to be encouraged, that tne lament pottalble number Uould aspire losing and shine aa enllghteners and inoniLnra of their follow. hutnifH. UrnLtiar In the tow frock and ragged nntblkableal have jtuu .ii iuw oumiuiug in your uratu mat seeing to yon ruled to cure even the lightest of human maladies? out with it, I pray you, In meroy to a benighted, heart stole, and blindly Buffdrlnff racel Ulster In linsey-woolsey, and wearing a red cotton handkerchief by way of a diadem, have you aught to say, that, if uttered, would cheer and bless the weary steps whereby we are all measuring oir the Utile span wulob divides ua from the grave 7 For aweet Charity's nuke do not withhold it. but let your liirht m.i.,..' even though the darkness be sure not to com- prenena it a Dy no means novel nor uncom mon case. Heed not the croaker's warning that the world overflows with books and authors ao It Old in Bolouoon's time; yet how many very good ones, that mankind could hardly spare, have been written since I Truly, the universe U full of light, and bus been these thousands of yer; yet, for all that, we oould not dispense With the sunshine of to-morrow, whether aa a realisation or as an assuring prediction. Never believe those who tell you that our race are Bur felted with teachers, tout their present needs are material only, not spiritual, and that yon? bumble lay will be drowned by the orasnlnii volume of the world's great choral harmonies; for If you have something to Bay, and do really eay it, never doubt that it will rind or make Us way to the eyes and hearts of those fitted to ap preciate and enjoy It. "But the real perplexity, the one great source of disappointment and mort Ideation In the ? 'remises, is this of the legions who aspire to eaoh and sing, only a very small proportion do so from any hearty, lntrlnslo essential love of the work, while the great multitude seek pri marily and mainly their own glory or aggran disement rather than the good of their kind. Tbey aspire to be teachers, not because the world needs to be tanght.butbeoause they must somehow be fed. Minim's 'lays' are Inspired by his lar.tness, and not by any of the Muses, who would be tortured by his Invocations If tbey paid any sort of heed to his twanging. Crotchet's treatise on Hydraulics and Dyna mics was impelled by the vacuum In his own stomach rather than by any painful sense of deficiency or error In popular conceptions of natural science. Van Itoamer's Travels' were constrained by the stern alternative of quitting bis native soil or cultivating It; be is enabled to tell us bow the Camanches grow corn, or the Mobaves harvest beans, through his own Invin cible repugnance to aslstlng in either process at home. And thus the domain of loiters Is continually Infested, Is wellnlgh overrun, by a swarm of adventurers who are only Intellectual in their pursuits and tendencies because they dread being, and so have not fitted themselves to be, material as Talleyrand accounted all men military who were not civil. Hence the patient eaith groans beneath the weight of books written from as grovelling a motive as ever sent a truant whlmperlog to school, and the moon and stars are persecuted with flatu lent apostrophes and Impertinent staring by bards whose main Incitement to thus torment ing the night Is a constitutional abhorrenoe of getting up and swinging an axe In the morning." "it Is high time that the current cant affirm ing tbe misfortunes ot authorship, 'calamities of genius,' the miserable recompense of intel lectual effort, etc, were scouted from the earth. Its groundwork is a total mlsoonoeptlou of the relations of things Intellectual to things physi cal, of Mind to Matter. Time to Eternity. Mil ton, tbey say, sold 'Paradise liOsl' for ten pounds to Its original publisher, Mr. Simmons. Beeglng yonr pardon, gentlemen, he did no t uoh thing; If he had done, the mighty eplo would have henceforth been Simmon' 'Para dise Lost,' not Milton's. No suon poem was ever written for pounds, few or many, nor ever can be. The author sold only tbe privilege of multiplying tbe copies for the few years wherein his right of property lu bis work was protected bylaw; but the poem was still Mil ton's, and bo must remain while time shall endure. Trade and Lw are mighty In their several spheres; but both together are powerless to vest the proper ownership of 'Paradise Lost' In anybody else than John Milton." The volume before us is very handsomely gotten up, the typography is excellent, and it is illustrated with a fine steel portrait of Mrs. Greeley, a fac simile of a letter written by him to the publishers, which gives an exoel. lent idea of his peculiarly unintelligible chi rography, a number of wood-outs of Mr. Gree ley's various homes, aud a portrait of Marga ret Fuller.' From G. W. Pi'cher, No. 808 Chesnut street, we have rcoeived "Smoking and Drink ing," by James Barton. Published by Ticknor & Fields. The three essays, entitled "Does it pay to smoke;" "Will the coming man drink wine f" and "Inebriate Asylums, and a visit to one," originally appeared in the Atlantic Monthly during the past year, and they have been extensively copied, either in whole or in part, in most of the newspapers of the country. It is the great fault with most reformers, aud particularly with most moral reformers, that they allow their enthusiasm to run away with their judgment; they make no allowances for the weaknesses and infirmities of human nature, and the consequenoe is that they repel rather than attraot those whom they desire to oonvert. Mr. Parton is a reformer gifted with common sense, and his papers on the subjects o smoking and drinking will be read with respect and attention even if they make no converts. We have no hesitation in saying that the essay entitled "Will the coming man drink wine ?" and "Inebriate Asylums, and a visit to one," are the best temperanoe traots we have ever seen; and as such we recommend them to those who are particularly interested in rescuing drunkards and in persuading the young men of their aoquaintanoe to shun the vice of intemperance. James S. Claxton, No. 1214 Chesnut street, sends us "The Experiences of Tom and Sarah Neal" and "How to Conquer," two nicely illustrated and attractive juvenile stories. The books for young people published by Mr. Claxton are always characterized by a healthy religious and moral tone, which ren ders them eminently suitable for the libraries of Sunday Schools as well as for family reading. THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY. The Great Mass Meeting Letter Froui Gen. McClellan. Nsw Yobk, Oct. 0. Tbe greatest mast meeting ever held In New York took place this evening, In Tammany Hall, Fourteenth street and Union Square. Every ward was largely represented, and banners sad transparencies were numerous. Several band ac companied tbe procession. The scene In Union Square was very One.

IIou. Sauford iJ. Church was the next speaker, and argued that the centralization policy of the Itadlcals, unless checked, would result lu depriving the larger States, such as New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, of preponderance in tbe affairs of the government that properly belougod to them; in consideration of their numbers, resources and the amount contributed by them to the support or tbe government. Aa eloquent address was also delivered by Hon. A. Oakley Hull, District Attorney. The following letter l'nm General McClellan was read. Ills emphatic Indorsement of the Democratic candidates being received with enthusiastic demon etratlons of applause. 'Kkw Yoiik, Oct. 8, I8K8.-T0 Douglas Taylor, Esq., Chairman, &e My Dear Sir: 1 have the pleasure te acknowledge the receipt of your luvitatiou to preside over the Democratic meeting of Monday next.

New Orleans, Oct. 6.- Opelousas, iu the parish oi HU Landry, has been the scene of a horrible massacre ot Unionists. According to tbe liul etin, a violent Rebel paper, there were one hundred negroes killed and fifty wounded, and of the Democrats, so-called, none killed, and but four wounded. The St. Landry 1'rogress. a Union paper, has been totally destroyed, and tho French editor is supposed to be murdered. This evening's Republican publishes a letter from an eje witness, who states that last Mon day three of the Seymour Knights went to the residence of and severely whipped Mr. Bcntley, editor of the Progress, and a prominent leader of the Republican party. Cause, alleged publi cation of an article to which they objected. News of the whipping of Bentley rapidly spread, and the colored people commenced assembling, armed, but were prevailed on by Bcntley and others to return to their homes and keep quiet. The Rebels then sent out armed patrols to tho various plantations to disarm every Unionist, which they did, according to tbeir own showing, killing one hundred and wouudinir Bf.y. Armed patrols of so-called Democrats still hold posses sion of the country. This evening's Tinvs publishes an account of an outrage at Shreveport, resulting: in the killing of three Democrats and fifteen Republi cans. There is every indication that between now and election day there will be a wholesale elaughter of Unionists throughout the State. From JNew York. New York, Oct. 5. An immense mass meeting took place this evening In Tammany Hall, Four teenth street and Union squares. The Democratic torchlight procesaion now In progress is estimated to contain over 90,000 persons. After a junction had been effected with the delegations from ad joining counties, the length of the procession ex ceeded ten miles. The main stand facing Broadway was the centre of attraction ouloido of Tammany Hall, though thero were six other stands at which speeches were made to the Immense throng, which was roughly estimated at half a million men, women and chil dren. The meeting at Tammany Hall was held in the spacious room in which tho deliberations of the Democratic Convention were conducted. General Jiuldy Smith presided, and made a speech on taking the chair. Hon. Sanford E. Church was the next speaker, and an address was also delivered by lion. A. Oakley Hall, District Attorney.

McCranle, editor of the Ouachita Telegraph, was nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Fifth District, which completes the ticket. The accounts which have been received of trouble between whites and negroes in St. Landry's parish, on tho 27th and 2Hth, are greatly conflicting as to the extent of the trouble aud the number of casual ties. On the l'.'tu ultimo a conference was held be tween the leaders of both parties, which resulted In an agreement satisfactory to both. On the 27th, however, a personal difficulty occurred between two white men, one a prominent radical politician, which led to a collision between a squad of negroes and a sund of white men.
