6 TUB DAILY EVENING TKLKOIiAPH -PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1870. THE BATTLE. TranlaU A from MULU r by )!-. Heavy and solemn, A cloudy column, Through the green plain they, marching come I Measureless spread, like a table dread, For the wild grim dice of the iron game. Locks are bent on the shaking ground, Hearts beat loud with a knelling sound; Nwift by the breasts that rtmst bear the brunt Gallops the Major along the front; ."Haiti" And fettered they stand at the stark com mand, And the warriors, silent, halt 1 Troad in the blush of morning glowing, What on the hill top shines in flowing "See you the foeman's banners waving ?" "We eee the foeman's banners waving !" 'Ood be with your children and wife I" Hark to the music the trump and fife How they ring through the ranks, which they rouse to the strife I -Thrilling they sound, with their glorious tone, Thrilling they go through the marrow and bone ! : Brothers, God grant, when this life is o'er, In the life to come that we meet once more! See the smoke how the lightning is cleaving asunder ! Hark ! the guns, r ool on poal, how they boom in their thunder ! From host to host, with kindling sound, The shouted Hignal circles round; Freer already breathes the breath ! The war is waging, slaughter raging, And heavy through the reeking pall The iron death-dice fall ! Nearer they close foes upon foes "Ready !" from square to square it goes. They kneel as one man from flank to flank, And the fire come sharp from' the foremost rank. Many a soldier to the earth is sent, Many a gap by balls is rent; O'er the corpse springs the hindmost man, That the line may no fall to the fearless van, To the right, to the left, and around and around, 4 Death whirls in its dance on the bloody ground. : Ood's sunlight is quenched in the fiery fight, O'er the hosts falls a brooding night! Brothers, Ood grant, when this life is o'er, In the life to cjmej that we may meet onae more. The dead men lay bathed in the weltering blood, And the living are blent in the slippery Hood, And the feet, as they reeling aud Bliding go, Stumble still on the corpse that sleeps below. "What! Francis!" "Give Charlotte my last farewell." As the dying man murmrirs the thunders swell "111 give O God ! are the guns so near ? Ho! comrade! yon volley! look sharp to the rear! I'll give to thy Charlotte thy last farewell; Sleep soft ! where death thickest descendeth in rain, The friend thou forsakest thy side may regain !" Hitherward, thitherward, reels the figgt; Dark and more darkly day glooms into night. Brother, God grant, when this life is o'er, In the life to come we may meet once more ! Hark ! to the hoofs that galloping go ! The adjutant's flying ! The horsemen press hard on the panting foe, Their thunder booms in dying Victory ! Terror has seized on the dastards all, And their colors fall ! Victory! Closed is the brunt of the glorious fight; And the day, like a conqueror, bursts on the night; Trumpet and fife swelling choral along, The triumph already sweeps marching in song. Farewell! fallen brothers; though this life be o'er, There's another in which we: shall meet you once more! LITERATURn. HEV1EW OF JVEW BOOKS. The second volume of Alexander II. Stephens' "Constitutional View of the War Between the States" has been issued by the National Publishing Company after consi derable delay, caused by the illness of the author. The gist of Mr. Stephens' argument is that slavery and secession were right, and that the war for the preservation of the Union, and the reconstruction acts of Congress after the war was ended, were all wrong. That Mr. Stephens is honest in this belief there is no doubt, but that he brings up the old worn-out arguments with which this volume and its predecessor are filled only proves that he has learned nothing during the last ten years, and that he is vain enough to believe that any considerable number of persons in the country have suffi cient interest in him or his opinions to care a great deal for them one way er the other; and any good purpose that will be served by the publication of this work is difficult to understand. Alexander II. Stephens is one the men prominently connected with the Rebellion who are more to be pitied than blamed. He never was a traitor at heart like Davis, Toombs, Yancey, and some other of the leader of the seces sion movement. He was wise enough to see that the Rebellion was a fearful mistake, and jet he was too weak to resist the influences brought to bear to secure his adherence, and, tempted by the Vice-Presidency of the Con federacy, he allowed himself to drift with the current. He signalized his entry upon the career of a Rebel by declaring that slavery was to be the chief corner-stone of the new empire, but his heart was never in the Re. kellion, and he was from the first anxious to bring about an honorable settlement of the differences be tween the contending parties. Such a man as this is net the one to discuss the constitu tional questions involved in the war and the process of reconstruction in such a manner as to make any impression outside of the rapidly diminishing circle of original seces sionists, and as a "constitutional vie of the war between the States" the work is worth nothing. It has a certain value, however, as ft record and rtmmt of historical facts, and fts Mr. Stephens' position as one of the chief officers of the Confederate Government gave im Arcple opportunities o etndy the, Jnside movements of the Rebellion, his work is a Dot altogether unimportant contribution to a complete history of the eventful years that followed the election of Abraham Lincoln. The book is sold only to subscribers. Claxton, Remsen & Ilaffelflnger send us "Sketches of San Domingo," by DeB. Ran dolph Keim. . The recent negotiations for the annexation of San Domingo to the United States have attracted public attention to that island, and an animated description of 'the country and its people like the on'e before us ought to find a multitude of appreciative readers. Mr. Keim was in San Domingo during the progress of the treaty negotiations as correspondent of the New York Herald, and he enjoyed unusual facilities for be coming acquainted with the leading men and the manner in which they managed the affairs of the island, nis book is written in the flowing and graphic style of a practised news paper correspondent, and we commend it as a readable and interesting account of a bit of country that came very near being United States territory, and that in all probability will be in our possession before many years. From Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger we have also received of the recent publications of Lee & Shepard, "Bear and Forbear," by Oliver Optic, the aiitn and concluding volume of "The Lake Shore" series of stories for boys, and "Hard Scrabble," by Rev. Elijah Kellogg, the sixth and last volume of the "FJm Island Stories." These are interesting narratives of adventure, oombined with the demonstration of moral principles, and they are intended to combine edification with entertainment. Part XL of "Zell's Popular Encyclope dia" comes down to the title "Monticulate." Some of the most prominent subjects treated in the number are "Milk," "Milton," 'Mine ral Coal," "Mining," "Minnesota," "Mint," "Mississippi," "Mahoramed,"and "Montana." The Technologist for September has a variety of interesting articles connected with engineering, manufacturing, and building. rTbe August number of T7ie Mohoh'm Home Book brings "The Dictionary of Sym bolical Masonry" down to the title "Sacred." Edited and published by Leon Hyneman and Alfred T. Jones, at No. 1CI North Sixtn street THE SEPTEMBER MAGAZINES. "HARPER'S."

Under the title of "The Mediterranean of the Pacific" Mr. Thomas Somerville gives a readable description of Puget Sound and its vicinity, where the Northern Pacific Railroad will have its western terminus. As public attention is being now attracted to this quarter of the country, the following extracts from this paper will be of interest: The railway linking the far West to the far East was opened in July last. The full sig nificance of that important announcement can scarcely be estimated. It will change the aspect of a great and productive region. The Indian already stands aghast as he sees the line of cars that greatest of all great "medicines" rattling along the plains where he hunted the buffalo, and with draws to the northward. lie hears in the whistle of the engine the death-knell of all his race. The trapper hears it, and hurriedly gathers up his traps and little "fixins," and, with his squaw and half-breed brood, retreats before the surging flood of e nigration. They hear, not afar off, "the rush of waves where soon shall roll a human sea" a sea that shall sweep them be fore it. These regions, of which many knew little, save by the tales that came floating back of the exploits of Jed Smith an 1 Kit Carson, the hardy pioneers; of Skipper Gray, who first breasted the breakers on the - bar of the Columbia; of Captain Bonneville, who made his way to them by land; of Sutler, who found a bank of gold in his millraoe; of old Downie, yclept "Major," who always "struck it" where he slept these regions have all .been brought near by the railway. Thousands have left their homes in the East for a month's vacation and a trip to California during the last summer. They have been to see us and gone away again, to tell of our snow-tipped mountains, and giant forests, and rocky gul ches, and the glittering gold, and pleasant corn-covered valleys and vine-clad hills. To us in the West it Boemed as if New York and Philadelphia and Chioago had gone out "on the tramp." In August the writer met an authoress from New York in the Willamette Valley, a professor from Iowa away up at the Cascade Falls of the Columbia, a couple of Senators from Washington staging it through an Oregon forest, the Governor of Illinois at a social gathering in Portland, dined with the Vice-President on board one of the Oregon Steamship Company's vessels, near to the 4'.th parallel, had a drink with an Eastern editor in one of the ice-caves of Washington Territory, and spent three of the happiest days of bis existence with Seward and his party, on the pleasant waters of the Puget sound. And no sooner has one railway been opened than another is proposed. The engineers have already been out a,nd mad4 the survey. The Northern Paelfio is spoken of as a rival to the Central Pacific, and the land-holders and lot-holders of the Puget Sous 1 are dis cussing the location of the great terminal city. The eyes of all are turned to a spot which is destined to play no mean part in the history of our national progress and civilization. ' Bills my be proponed and defeated, particular schemes may be discussed and delayed; but let any one take a look at the position and contour of the northwestern corner of our oonntry, and he will be convinced of its importance, and foresee its manifest destiny. There is a great inland sea stretching up 200 miles from Cape Flattery, studded with fertile islands, sur rounded by pine-covered heights, and nearer, by H0 miles, to China than San Francisco and nearer, also, to New York. Instead of sage-bush desert and salt plains, there , is a fertile belt, under which lies a' bed of miocene coal, stretching all the way from Illinois to Washington Territory. Let any one consider the increasing commerce with China, of which we have merely tasted the first-f rails, -and acquaint himself with the character of the country behind it, and he will perceive why so much attention has been paid to this part of the republic; he will be satisfied of the wisdow manifested in pre serving intact the boundary line which ter minates so near it, and - discern a reason for the. present anxiety to push through the Northern Pacific Railway. . : Here, .as elsewhere on this coast, we per ceive the last of the red man side by side with the first of the white men the dying race and the growing race strangely intermingled. At Victoria we saw the residence of th'e Governor and officials on one side of the harbor, and the "rancheree" of King Frisi and the dilapidated remnant of the Songhish tribe on the other. As we look over tho side of our vessel at Port Townsend we see two Clallam girls in their Chinook canoe sitting at ease. Thus have the Duke of York and such as he sat at ease for centuries in their salmon-scented halls. In the midst of good opportunities, in one of the best fields of the world, they have lived out their time in idleness and sensuality, their industries never rising higher than skulking round the forest and shooting the elk, or sleepily dozing in their canoes and spearing the salmon as he darted along; their pleasures never ranging beyond the hideous "potlatch," when, with wild screams and savage joy, the tribal crew mounted the roof of their "ranche ree," and flung their long-stored blankets to maddened "tiucums" (companions) beneath. Their time has come, and their portion is an other's. , Even now they have lost their en thusiasm of the savage, without gaining the wisdom of the white man. They are letting their time-cherished customs drop as things of death. In this country of the Flatheads, whore for centuries the Clallam belle has been rated according to the taper of her "caput," we find comparatively few mothers thus preparing their offspring for social position. Occasionally we see a Clallam con servative, some frowzy old crone from the Chehalis or the Querquelin, sitting with the instruments of torture applied to the hope of the family. Down at Cape Flattery, where they hunt the seal and gather the dog-fish oil, they preserve this ancient feature of their race. Some of them boast that the chignon is only an attempt on the part of other belles to copy their native graces. More than one have we seen with a piece of solid bark rolled up in their hair in imitation of the fashion able chignon. On the whole, these dusky mothers take but little trouble with their offspring. Tho "tenas man" (small man), when born, is wrapped in a piece of old four-point blanket, covered over with the soft bark of the willow or dog-wood, laced up tightly in his cradle of wicker-work, and left to take care of himself. Kick or sprawl he cannot, and his bawling E leases himself and hurts no one. Generally e is a oontented little animal as he is tossed around in his basket, or swings from his pole or the branch of a tree in the great forest. . After all would the reader believe it ? the "San Juan Difficulty," as it is gracefully termed iu these parts, has arisen from the mere scrape of a pen'. Great Britain claimed Oregon north of the Columbia river; the United States claimed all south of latitude 54 deg. 40 min. In 1846 that grand com promise called the Ashburton treaty accepted the 4!th parallel as the boundary line. But this line, if drawn across, would have cut off the tail end of Vancouver Island. It was therefore stated in the treaty that, after leaving the main land, it shall go south ward, through the middle of the channel, to the Strait of Fuca. The treaty appears to have been made under the erroneous impres sion that there was only one channel between the main land and Vancouver Island, At the time, theRosario Strait was the best known, and the most commonly used; the Haro Strait has since been' surveyed, and is the most direct and best channel. Now the island, or rather the islands, for there are thirty of them, lie between these two Btrafts; so, if the line passing through the middle of the channel means the Rosario Strait, they belong to Britain; but if through the Haro Strait, they belong to the United States. The channel ? Are we to understand the channel best known in 184."-4;, while they were discussing terms, or the main channel, as now ascertained by survey? The ; mere insertion of the four letters HARO would have prevented the "difficulty." More has been make of the question than it really deserves. San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez islands (each about ten miles long, and from one to three miles wide) are fertile; but, . where land is so plentiful, we need not take their gain or loss as a matter of life and death; and we beg very respect fully to settle the whole diflioulty, and submit the following proposal to all concerned: During the survey in 18.18 a middle channel was discovered, called the Douglas Channel. If it were taken as the boundary, San J nan . and a few islands would fall to the English; Orcas, Lopez, and all the others to the United States; for, thoueh it does not command the harbor of Vic toria, as was ignorant ly stated by the Bri tish Foreign" Secretary, yet it is distant only six miles from Vancouver Island, and commands the strait by which ships would pass from Victoria into British Columbia. At present the Americans have a garrison at one end, and the English at the other. There they are, ready to blow each other off at a signal from their chiefs, yet enjoying the most friendly intercourse assisting each other to hunt the deer and fish the salmon.
