THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, Fill DAY, JANUARY 20, 1871 LITERATURE. HE VIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From E. II. But'er & Co. we have re ceived "Mitchell's Modern AM a'," with an index containing over 17,000 names, com piled I y II. D. Gregory, A. M. This index, which is published both with and separate from the atlas, appears, from such examina tion as we have been able to give it, to be very complete, and it will undoubtedly be a very valuable assistant to the student of geo graphy, aa well as to all others who may have occasion to make geographical references. It has been brought down to the latest dates, and the inexpensive shape in which it is pub lished entitles it to the favorable considera tion of all who may desire to use such a work, as it will be an easy matter to replace it by a new and improved copy, when the rapid changes that are taking place, especially in our Western territory, render portions of it somewhat out of date. rart No. fi3 f "Zell's Popular Encyclo pedia" brings the work down to the title "Standard." A few more numbers will com plete this valuable publication. , -From the American Sunday School Union we have received the January number of The Sunday at Home, an English magazine, which contains stories, essays, and poetry Buitable for Sunday reading, from the pens of some of the best writers of the day. The illustrations are numerous and excellent. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. wo have received "Birth and Education," translated from the Swedish of Marie Sophie Schwartz by Selma Buurg and Marie A. Brown. Pub lished by Lee & Shepard. This story, like its predecessor, "Gold and Name," possesses much dramatic interest. Unfortunately the ladies who have undertaken to introduce the writings of Madame Schwartz to the Ameri can publio are not qualified for the work, and the translations of the two novels which have come under our notice are very badly executed. From Morris Frank, No. CIO Walnut Btreet, we have received the January number of The Tcchnoloyut, which contains a number of valuable articles on industrial subjects. In The Art llecicw for January, we find several interesting papers on art subjects. From W. S. Turner we have received Appleton's Journal and Every Saturday. The Central NewJ Company, No. CO. Chesnut street, sends us the latest numbers of rurtch and Fan. THE FEBRUARY MAGAZINES, "THE MALAXV." The contents of the February nu mber of The Galaxy are as follows: "Lady Judith.

Moore; "Drift wood," by Philip Qriilibet; "Scientific Mis cellany;" "Current Literature;" "Memo randa," by Mark Twain; "Nebula?," by the Editor. From Hon. J. S. Black's slashing rejoin der to Hon. Henry Wilson we take the fol lowing reference to the why and wherefore of the exit of Mr. Cameron from Lincoln's Cabinet: Your account of Mr. Cameron's retire ment from the War Department and Stan ton's appointment on his suggestion de manded refutation, because it not only per veited and misrepresented a fact of some general importance, but was a serious injury to Mr. Stanton's character as it then stood. Between these two men it did not seem as if there could be any relations which implied .y confidence or friendship. If Stanton him self was any authority for his own sentiments, he had no respect either for the horse con tracts or the "nigger arming" (as he called it) of his predecessor, and Mr. Lincoln had just as little. Stanton was appointed not to carry out but to put an end to Cameron's policy with all its corruptions. I admit that since the evidence you have furnished of Mr, Stan- j ton's duplicity in other matters, it becomes possible to believe he may have been insin cere about this also. Still your attempt to deceive the publio was inexcusable. Of my own knowledge I know nothing about Cameron's appointment or removal; but I will give you the main facts bristly and without the aha enormia, as I have them on undoubted authority, and as I firmly believe them. A bargain was made at the Chicago Convention of 18(!0 that in case of Linoolu's nomination and election Cameron should re ceive a Cabinet appointment. Mr. Lincoln was no party to this eontraot; but after much persuasion and pressure he consented to ratify it by trying Cameron aa Secretary of War. Before the end of nine months the experiment ended, as you know, and as every body else knows, in a complete and total failure. Mr. Linooln, Beeing this, determined to get rid of him, and expressed his resolution in a letter addressed to Mr. Cameron and car ried by Mr. Chase, then Secretary of the Treasury. That letter is not now in existence, but Mr. Chase desoribed it as curt that is to say, plain, short, and direct. Mr. Cameron understood and felt it as an abrupt dismissal. He afterwards got it suppressed, and a oor renpondence different in its whole tenor and effect substituted in its place. Ever sinco then he has been trying to create the opinion that he retired from a department full of rich jobs, not only without compulsion, but in spite of the President's affectionate desire that he should remain and manage them as he had done before; and he makes it a part of his story that he was permitted to designate his successor. He contrived to produce same belief of this on the mind of Mr. Cbtse; but if Mr. Ctase bad known more of Ca ueroa's character and previous history, he might have been less credulous. Of the fact that Stanton was appointei on Cameron's suggestion we have not a spark of direct evidence except Cameron's own state ment, and all the cirouuistaneea make that improLable. If the President made up Lis mind to remove the incumbent he certainly woxild not have proceeded to exeoute his reso lution by writing him a curt letter of dis missal without having settled upon some body to succeed him; for at such a time as that he could not mean to leave the War Department acephalous while he would be hunting a head for it. Bat conoede that no thought was taken for the new officer be fore the removal of the old one, can it be that the President decided the whole ones tion in favor of a man never mentioned' be fore, on the mere suggestion of the officer he was discarding, and without seeking advice from those members of the Cabinet who still retained bis favor? The suppressed letter is, therefore, not only an important fact in itself, but it has the gravest influence on the credibility of Mr. Cameron's whole tale. Other questions signify but little in compari son to tbat. If the correspondence after wards published was not that which actually took place, we must presume everything against the party for whom, or at whose in stance, the spoliation was committed. The short, plain, direct, curt note, with which Mr. Lincoln opened the business would have explained everything if it had been permitted 1 o see the light; and it could not have boen destroyed except for the purpose of making a false impression. This compels me to show that your conduct in the affair has been such as admits of no justification except that burn ing loyalty and intense patriotism which con verts all vice into virtue. After your first article appeared, and before my answer to it, a leading and very distin guished member of the Itepublican party in this State told you that you had misstated the facts concerning Mr. Cameron's retire ment, and especially the important and prin cipal fact of the suppressed note from the President; and he referred to the Chief Jus tice, who, tipon being interrogated, gave you the authentic information that such a note had been written, delivered, and suppressed. Thereupon you solemnly promised that if you ever had occasion to refer to the subject again, you would fa, me ichole truth. Besides, Judge Chase, after my review of you, wrote me a letter from Sandusky, Ohio, in which he said that he bore the note in question, and mentioned that ho had also written to you. What he wrote you of course I do not know, but he certainly did not give you one version and me another. You had, there fore, the written statement of the Chief Justice, in addition to his verbal assurance. With all these lights before you, aud with all the obligations of common veracity, strengthened by an express promise to tell the truth, what do you do in your second article? Why, you simply stick to your first story. Nay, yon take great trouble to smug gle the truth avay, and bury it out of sight; lor, instead of producing Judge Chase's let ter to yourself, in which the fact, no doubt, is fairly stated, you give us an extract from another letter written by him to Cameron, from which you are "permitted to quote" nothing whatever on the subject of that im portant letter. I forbear to say much that ought to be said about this part of your be- r havior, because the distinguished gentleman oeiore spoKen ot nas taken yon in hand, and will doubtless jerk an acknowledgment of the facts out of you, in spite of all your shuf fling.

The readers of this magazine must have already recognized as one of its most at tractive features the story of "Wilfrid Cum bermede," by George Macdonald. This writer has already taken a front place in the ranks of living novelists, and there are few among his compeers who better deserve an extended popularity. Macdonald is essen tially a poet, and it is the glamour of poetry pervading his writings that constitutes their principal charm. The story of "Wilfrid Cum bermede," so far as it has progressed, im presses us as one of the best, if not the best, that has yet proceeded from his pen, and we hope that its serial publication in Scribner's Monthly will have the effect of making a large number of readers acquainted with the merits of certainly the most original fiction writer of the day. The other contributions in the number of the magazine before us present an entertaining variety of reading matter. From "Something about Balloons," by J. R. Thompson, we take this description of the first balloon voyage: Bnt the time had now come for the first aerial voyage, and this was magnificently per formed by the intrepid lioziers, who had zealously taken up the subject of aerostation from the earliest announcement of Mont golfier's success, and the Marquis d'Arlandes, a nne gentleman of the Court, who wrote an interesting account of the perilous and un precedented trip. The balloon of the Marquis, which was inflated with heated air, and not with hydrogen gas, far exoeeded ur modern balloons in magnificence of desoration and elegance of equipment, and must have pre sented a splendid appearance as it rose abov the temples and columns of Paris in the lovely October sunset. It made the entire circuit of the, capital, passiig over the boule vards and hovering always in sight of the vast crowds of wonder-loving Parisians, now fairly intoxicated by the brilliant spectacle There were eyes that marked its course with other feelings than gratified curiosity or un reasoning delight. Among the faces turned upward to the bky above Paris on that 2 1 it of October, lTSM, was Benjamin Franklin's. Henceforward for many months all France, so soon to become convalsed in revolution, went wild upon the subject of balloons. As censions v. ere made in every part of tli3 kingdom, and hundreds of people cf both sexes earnestly begged a seat in the ctr. It was doubted tnly by the judioio u few that the navigation of the air was ua fait accom. pli, or that men might go where they pleased with the speed of the wind. The D 10 de Cbartres, afterwards Orleans and the notori ous Egalite, was so unfortunate as to make a journey of one hundred and thirty-five miles in five hours without breaking his neck, thus escaping the best chance that ever happened to him of saving his name from imperishable dishonor. Great care and expense were lav ished upon the construction of balloons, and no improvement has since been effected in them. It was to be expected that among a people with so keen a sense of the ludicrous as the French, the new discovery should be made the object of pitiless burlesque and caricature. All manner of absurd flying-machines were represented in colored prints, aud all sorts of ridiculous schemes were put forth in satirical prospectuses. But the irony and caricature, could not exceed in the comic element the essays that were written and the plans that were set forth in sober earnest. Moralists gravely condemned the employment of bal loons, because they were manifestly contrary to the will of Divine Providence, which had not given wings to man; because they threat ened to break down the barriers of virtue and morality, by permitting aeronauts to descend at night into gardens and balconies, and be cause they practically annulled the bounda ries of empire, and thus seemed likely to involve nations in continual war. This was droll enough, but the novelties in aerial architecture sanguinely proposed to the pub lic were more mirth-provoking still. One cannot look at an engraving of the "Minerva" without a smile. The "Minerva" was a machine for navigating the air, pro jected by one Robertson, of Vienna, in IKOt, and dedicated to Volta, probably ' that it might come to be considered as a sort of "Voltaic pile." A pile it certainly appears of a balloon, a Fulton ferry boat, a. toy-shop, n ten-pin alley, a travelling circus, and a lager beer saloon, as complex in its construction and as diverse in its aims as the new grand patent double-action cylindrical mar-ling-spike, with holystoning watering-pot at tachment, and self-adjusting reversible Kamptulicon deck Awning-Carpet. The amiable Robertson proposed to convey sixty persons in the "Minerva," which was to have a capacity of carrying 150,000 pounds, and thought it might be possible to make with it tho tour of the world. In the serious de scription he gave of it, which U funnier than Mark Twain's explanation of his map of Paris, he refers to a gymnasium, a theatre, an observatory, a Btudy, and other apartments not absolutely essential to aeronautic voyages, besides kitchens, closets, and store-rooms, any one of which adjunots it would be about as easy to transport through the air as the Chapel of Our Lady of Loretto. The February number of Godey's Lady's Book is finely illustrated, and is filled with interesting literary matter in prose and verse. The Transatlantic for February, which we have received from Turner & Co., con tains a pleasant variety of short stories and sketches selected from the best English peri odicals. 27ie Lady's Friend for January contains a number of excellent illustrations and an attractive list of stories, sketches, poetry, and fashion articles.
