- Radicalism.
We clip - the following from the Salis
bury (N. C.) Mtchman, of April Bth :
"The Columbia (Pa.) .Spy, comes to hand
in a magnificent new dross. and greatly en
largo. It is now one of the finost papers
on oar table, and possesses many features
of excellence. Tho only fault we find with
it is its Radicalism. which is very groat."
sow, Brother Watchman, we thank you
for your kind and appreciative notice of
the improvement in the appearance of our
paper, and also for your endorsement of
its excellence as a family- journal, hut most
of all we thank you for your appreciation
of its Radicalism_ Will the Watchman
be so kind as to point us to the case, in
politics, science, or anythinz else, in
which, when defects of a deep•seated and
chronic nature were found to exist, that
any good ,was effected by any other than
radical measures?
Conservatism—which is defined by
Webster to be, " the desire and effort of
preserving what is established," is, and
always has been, the rough-lock on tfie
wheels of - Progress. " The:world moves,"
and to those who are willing-lo appreciate
the important fact, and keep step to the
music of its progress, it will afford a safe,
.and pleasant conveyance onward and up-
Ward, but to those who ignore the patent
fact, and who are determined to stand by
their old and time-honored (?) notions,
this,same world, in her progress, will only
furnish a conveyance to the dead and
buried_: Past, where the Conservative will
lie in- ;' cold obstruction ;" or, if he has
been one of great prominence in his efforts
to " preserve what is established," he may
possibly be mentioned in history, but it
will be eith a record to which his child
ren will not be inclined to point with pride.
From the earliest dawn of science upon
mankind, our march has been onward, but I
every step of that onward march has been
opposed by the Conservatives; Gallileo
was persecuted by the Conservatives for
his researches in the Science of Optics;
Haller for his enunciation of the theory
of the circulation of the blood; Columbus
fur his theory of a western route to the
Indies ;—but why multiply instances; the
fact is patent to the reader of history that
the reformer is always met with the cow
ard cry of the Conservative, " why distrub
the old order of things—why not let well
enough. alone ?" Thus the advocates of the
first turnpike roads, canals, and rail-roads
were met, and so will all reformers, in all
matters needing reform, be met by the
timid, who fear any change, and by the
equally large party, who, from self-inter
est, desire the maintenance of the " old
order of things." But of all the Conser
vative cries that have over been uttered
in deprecation of change, and in favor of
retaining the old order, that in favor of
continninzinloree— in the_7.tit_decada_nf
the 19th century,,for the government of
thirty millions of people, the same forms
that were wisely adopted in the Bth decade
of the 18th century, for the government
of three millions of people, is the most
preposterous and absurd.
No one doubts' the wisdom and patriot
ism of the Fathers of the Revolution, nor
doubts that the Constitution that was the
result of their deliberations was about as
good as the then condition of things ad
mitted of; but, even had our physical
condition remained the same, re., had we
continued a nation of three millions,
sparsely scattered over this vast continent
—would it necessarily follow that we
should continue a form of government in
all respects the same, simply because it
was the best that could be devised at the
time of its adoption ? What an insult to
that noblest of all sciences—tte Science
of Government—whieb, from the earliest
ages has engaged the attention of the best
and ablest minds in the world, to say by
implication, (as the Conservatives do,)
that, while all other sciences are making
rapid strides towards that perfection which
all are finally destined to reach—while
the Astronomer is discovering new worlds;
the Geologist by his researches opening
up to us the mysteries that lie hidden in
the bosom of the old ; the Optician en
abling them by his scientific eombinatiori
of lenses to examine the spots on the sun,
millions of miles away—and the micro
scopic plants and animals that from their
infinitesimal size are lost to the view of
the unaided sight; while the Physician is
daily opening up the mysteries of the
human frame and its physiologian laws,
by means of which researches the " ills
that flesh is heir to" are the more spted
ily and certainly alleviated—in short, that
when all other sciences are advancing with
a constantly accelerating rapidity, each
decade improving upon the improvement
of the last, the Science of Government
should stand still. Such is the doctrine
of the Conservative,
Opposed to this is the position of the
Radicals. Now the only question that
was worth asking, (it has been answered
in the history of the last atx years,) was,
whether defects of a chronic nature ex
isted in our Government; then came the
important question : How shall these de
fects be remedied ? .The Nation tried
Conservative measures, vainly endeavoring
to unite oil and water, • Freedom and
Slavery; and vainly endeavored to ignore
the fact that the world was not a station
ary ball, but was really in motion, until
the South made the discovery and adopt
ed very radical Immures, to which the
Nation itself wan at last driven—despite
the howl of the timid Conservatives—and
the nation was saved.
After saving the Nation from the de
stination aimed at by the South, it became
necessary to adopt the measures necessary
for its preservation. Again the.Conserva
tire councils prevailed, and but for the
howls of the false friends of the South—
so profusely scattered through the North
—we would have had a patching up of
the difficulty, whiChwould have left a fine
opening for smother' war as soon as the
Northern, "COppirheads thought their
Southern dupes suffiCiently - recuperated ;
but thanks to the opposition thus offered
to the efforts of the Conservative Repub
licans, we
.1:tow have adopted • radical
measures, which we sincerely hope may
effect a radical cure of the evils under
which our. country has been. suffering for
the last half century."
Will the Watchman please send us his
opinion of
_these. views, roughly thrown
out, in reply to his.kind notice?
Colorribles—As It Jr..
Columbia
.is situated on the left or east
bank of the Susquehanna River, some 28
miles below Harrisburg, the Capital or the
State, and 10 wiles west of Lancaster, the
Seat of Justice of the county. It is at
present possessed of a Borough Charter
of the most liberal character, and contains
a population bordering closely upon 8,000
souls. The river at this place runs in a
south easterly direction, and the town, as
etnbracecl within its corporate limits, ex
tends about a mile along the river front,
from which the ground rises in a manner
not too precipitous fur well-graded streets.
and at the same time sufficiently so for all
purposes of drainage and sewerage. The
country immediately in the rear of the
town ; for a distance of a mile and a half,
and for a space in the direction of the
river vastly greater than that at present,
occupied by the borough, is topographi
cally adapted to the purposes of building
up a towu of almost any size: The coun
try in the rear is of ahnost fabulous fer
tility, producing every agricultural pro
duet of the climate in such profusion as
to entitle Lancaster County to the name,
which she has long borne, of the "Garden.
Mditor
of Pennsylvania," and all these products
are poured into the lap of Columbia, mak
ing her market one of the best in the
State. Lancaster County is famed for her
fat beeves, and no finer display of meats
can be seen in any market -than are daily
to be seru in Columbia. A reference to
the statistics furnished by the Patent
Office, will show that Lancaster County
stands first in productiveness among the
counties of the State.
We have stores at which goods in
every line can be had at prices affording
a mere living profit to the retailer, as the
amount of competition in the various de
partments of trade precludes the idea of
anything like extortion, there being no
less than eleven or twelve dry-good
stores, five or six clothing stores, three
o r four shoe stores, one store de
voted exclusively to the sale of hats
and caps, (besides several others that
keep them in connection with clothing
any. dry-goads) twelve or fifteen grocery.
flour and feed stores, millinery and iritti
ming stores in abundance, and' drinking
saloons in super-abundance.
We have half a. dozen good respectable
hotels, at which travelers can be accom
modated in a style to suit the most fastid
ious, and places of worship as follows :
One Presbyterian, one Methodist, one
Episcopalian, one United Brethren, one
German Reformed, two Lutheran, (one
English and one German,) two Catholics,
(one English and one German.) and two
African Churches, in all, or nearly all, of
which divine service is held every Sab
bath. Our Educational facilites were set
forth in our last article, and we will only
now say that they are equal if not superior
to those enjoyed by any place of equal
population in this State,-,r-proud as is
Pennsylvania's position as an aaaunt
courier in the cause of Education.
Wo hate the best shore for the landing
of rafts - between Harrisburg and the mouth
of the Susquehanna, which makes Col
umbia one or the greatest lumber marts
on the river, and a large amount of capital
isrinrested in the trade.—
We have two steam-power mills for
planing and preparing lumber, so that a
vast amount of the lumber sold here
annually, is sold m a shape for immediate
use, thus facilitating the operation of
building. We have, in immediate prox
imity to the town, half a dozen smelting
furnaces, two rolling mills, grist and saw
mills.
We have a magnificent hall in a cen
tral location, in which lectures and public
exhibitions are given, and everything
calculated to promote a healthy tone of
sentiment, except a Public Reading-Room
where the youth of the place can assemble
in the evenings to enjoy intellectual inter
course, instead of being compelled, as now,
to resort to the drinking saloons; but this
desideratum we hope soon to see supplied,
as the Good Templars are doing a good
work and attracting to their fold a large
number of the young men of the place,
thus rescuing them from the jaws of the
fell destroyer—Rum. (Mai . we not con
fidently call upon all who desire the pros
perity of the coming generation, to unite
in the project ofa Public Reading Room ?)
We have on our front, the noble Sus
quehanna spanned by the piers of what
was once a fine bridge, burnt to prevent
the approach of the Rebels some years
ago, and which the high price of mater
ials and labor has so long kept from being
rebuilt, but which a recent act of the
Legislature requires to be rebuilt within
two years, when York and Lancaster will
again be lucked in friendly embrace, in
stead of, as now, frowning upon each
other across a physical barrier as impass
able as that political gulf which in an
cient times separated their great proto
types in England.
We have a net-work of railroads—com
pleted and projected—centering in our
town, the mere enumeration of which is
sufficient to indicate- our advantage of
positico, viz: Completed—to Philadel
phia, to Reading, to Harrisburg, to Balti
more, (via York.) Projected—to Port
Deposit along the East bank of the
river, to Conewago along the west bank
of the river, to Gettysburg, across the
country, involving the construction of
another bridge across the river a mile or
so above the Borough, in addition to
which we' bare the Pennsylvania Canal
above us, and the Tide-water Canal to
Havre-de-Grace, on the opposite side of
the river, from all which it is apparent
that few if any situations could be select
ed in our country better adapted to busi
ness or pleasure, the residence of the en
terprising man bent upon -making money,
or the retired merchant or manufacturer
who wishes to spend the income of that
already accumulated, than Columbia.
Aod we hereby tender a hearty invita
tion to capitalists and artizans to cast in
their lot with us, and " grow with our
growth, and strengthen with our strength."
So that by our united efforts, Columbia
may be hastened on to that gcal which
she is destined ultimately to reach, viz:
The position of a city with her 25,000
or 30,000 population.
Tali Salisbury (N. C.) Winchman, in
its issue of April Bth, says : " Will be
Spy take no notice of the paragraph
below 7 It certainly is as great an out
rage perpetrate , ! on radicalises as we have
read lately."
A. young lady named Bennet, aged 16, has been
refused admission to the Methodist College in
Pittsburg on her second term, It having been
discovered that she has African 131004 in her
Veins.
Yes—Friend Watchman—we will take
notice of the paragraph to lament the Met
that for more than half a century the
South so completely ruled the public
sentiment of the country that even our
churches became contaminated by the
tell spirit of slavery, and the poor blacks
of the North were compelled, in base
trickling to the tastes of the South, to
take back seats even in the Sanctuary of
the Lord, (who is nu respecter of persons,)
and we know with shame that even Death,
the relentless leveler, who brings King
and beggar to an equality, is nut allowed
to wipe out the distinction of color ; and
even cemetery companies are chartered
with a clause forbidding the interment of
persons of color within their sacred pre
eints—even the Pulpit from which we are
taught to expect that only Divine truth
is published, has been basely prostituted
to the perpetuation and defence of slavery
—as witness the following extract from a
Sermon delivered by W. A. Scott, D. D.,
Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
'New Orleans, (to be found in a collection
of Sertnons—page 208—published in
1859, by Rev. Elijah Wilson, called the
" Living Pulpit.") y-
" Education. as it Is ujed, Is a savor of life unto
"life, or of death unto death. The sources of
"power and pleasure, of dignity and wealth,
I: may also become the sources of crime and vice,
"degradation and poverty. We practically
"acknowledge this when we make laws to keep
" our servants in ignorance, lest they should be
" wise to do evil." -
These teachings of such hirelings as
Dr. Lord, who " steal the livery of Heaven
to serve the Devil in," were not lost upon
the North, and the " outrage perpetrated
upon radicalism," to which you so feeling
ly allude, is one of the fruits; but, dear
friend Watchman, we have turn up by
the roots,. (radically exterminated) the
tree that bore the fruit of which you com
plain, and we hope your sense of propriety
will not long be shocked by the perusal of
such extracts from public journals—North
or South.
In the Carolina Watchman, referred to
above, we find a long article copied -frcau
a Texas paper, giving an account of, the
heartless and cold-blooded massacre of
120 prisoners by General Escobado, at
San Jacinto, and deprecating the barbar
ity, &c., &c., of the transaction, all of
which the Watchman appears to endorse
in a vein that does credit to his humanity.
Now this same Wat.dzm•rn is published
at Salisbury, North Carolina, where thou
sands of our poor boys, captured in honor
able battle, were inhumanly done to death
by starvation and exposure. Was the
Watchman an institution in Salisbury at
that time ? If it was, we would like to
have a copy of one of its issues of that
time, merely to see for ourselves whether
this humanity is a plant of native growth
in Carolina soil, or whether it is an exotic.
Jersey City.
We did not perceive, in Wednesday's
,Democratic papers, any ro.,sters with the
".Democratic Victory" streamers:in their
bills. What ! has the result in Jersey
City entirely knocked the Connecticut
wind out of their sails ? Surely after
carrying the great STA.TE of Connecticut,
(which was always doubtful and
.vascillat
ing,) by the overwhelming majority of
600, they should not let the defeat in
Jersey City completely dishearten them.
Only a change of 600 since the last elec
tion. Don't be scared, Demmies ! we'll
show you greater changes than even that,
next fall,
Poor Saulsbury.
Mr. Sumner's resolution for the expul
sion of Mr. Saulsbury from the Senate
was not called up on Saturday morning,
because it was determined to give him one
more chance to reform. He was taken
home on Sunday night in a most beastly
state of intoxication, and will quit the
city as soon as able to travel. His friends
promise that he shall not again offend
against the rules of the Senate, and it is
thought by some persons that they will
induce him to resign.
Morrissey in a Dilemma.
The New York Berald says: The
friends of Joe Coburn and John C. Heen
an are said to be anxious to watch them
for a prize fight for $10,001) a side and
the champion's belt. There must be some
mistake in this, however; John Morris
sey is champion of America. lie whip
ped Heenan, and is now the rightful owner
of the belt. If Coburn or Heenan desire
to win the championship they must first
challenge John Morrissey, when he will
be compelled to fight or yield up the belt
to his challenger, according to the rules
of the prize ring. The recess of Congress
will leave Morrissey at leisure to decide
as he pleases.

The Senator from Delaware has again,
by promises of reformation, escaped ex

bears with him as it does. His offences
have been frequent, appearing as he has
repeatedly on ttie floor of the Senate, in
extreme conditions of intoxication. On
many occasions hie conduct has been so
outrageous that he ought to have been
dismissed at once.

EDITOR RAIIIIO :—The great speech of
Thaddeus Stevens, Am the confiscation of
Milne property, as a punishment to trai
for their treason against the Government of
the United States, is creating a profound
sensation throughout the country. Every
proviston of the hill, which tuts speech is
designed to vlndivate, would now ieeetve
ail elephant, endorsement, if the sense of
the Nation ecand be ascertained. Thespeeco
%vats printed in one of our city papers, with llo friendly notice of its distinguish:n.l au
tsior. The morning edition was eximusied
belbre the gongs had ceased to call break
fast, and a second running edition was
kept up the balance of the day. Tana speech,
like must enumiting front Mr. Stevens, IS
rend by millions, and will do a good ser
vice in educating the public mind to a
propel' appreciation of what penalties should
be awn:nett to the high crime of treason.
Whatever iniki be said of Mr. Stevens, by
traitors and those iusympathy.withtreason,
Ms Legislative career IDLY been, distinguish
ed by ability and fearlessness, which few of
his cotemporary Statumea possess • and his
fame us a tar- .ecing patriot, will shed lustre
Over the acts of the luirty-Nintei Congress,
and be acknowledged by
N lions unborn, and age:, yet behind."
If it shall, in aftertimes, be remembered
to our reproach, that Lancaster county
furnished u President of the United States
may we not hope that the distinguished
services in another of her citizens, in the
National Legislature, done much to be re
membered to our honor?
lam wad Governor Geary has called the
attention of the estate Legislators to the
tnurdor of the Zook brothers, in 'Mississippi.
If northern men and enterprise are only to
be welcomed to " hospitable graves" by tile
chivalrous cut-throats of Mississippi, the.
sooner the public are made aware of the
fact, the better. Goy. Geary, in his mesage,
says:
It is proven that two citzens of Pennsylvania
while pursuing a peaceful and lawful caning, hare
been Mut:thy murdered—the body of ono having
been found, as before stated, in a section of country
where they should have been welcomed, protected
a n d encouraged, espeetally ns they had gone there in
the spirit of manly enterprise and confidence, to con
tribute a ith then capital, labor, skill and industry; to
its mateli; I wealth, social advantag,, and political
tranquility."
'I he partners of these men, and who ore believed
to bo their murderers, were allowed to collect rho
property of their slain associates, and then leave, un
molested. for... Texas. Every unp,utiment was placed
in tise way orthe investigation ; no relief was given
by the local authorities, and the residents, during
the examination, either avoided answering or re
sponded in such a manner as exposed their sympathy
with the suspected, or the apprehension et evil, if
they disclosed all they knew of the occurrence."
Abraham and Noah Zook, the "two
citizens" of Pennsylvania, above alluded tri
by the Governor, emigrated from Lancaster
county about a year ago. The deep signi
ficance of their murder consists in the fact,
that the local authorities made no effirt to
arrest and punish the criminals, but per
mitted them to "leave, unmolested, for
Texas." One clearly established case of
this ,kind, will neutralize the combined ef
forts of the Southern press—the Legisla
tures of the States, and the agencies estab
lished to induce emigrants to settle in and
build up the waste places of the Smith.
The Zooks were, undoubtedly, killed for
their money, but the thet that they were
men of Northern birth and education, seems
to have had its effect upon the people and
the authorities alike. • What it they were
killed;
were they not Yankees ? Why
should we Southerners concern ourselves?
The men who killed them were of our sort,
and blood is thicker than water. They
must be permitted to escape." And they
did escape.
It is, of course, optional with the people
of the Southern states to em•ourage settle
ments of Northern men among them or
not; but if they earnestly desire, as they
profess, to have the thrifty, industrious
thrillers and skilled artisans of the North
make their Manes among ham, some other
policy than that which enabled the mur
derers of the Zook brothers to escape, must
be adopted.
One of the sadest casualties I ever knew
occurred recently, In a fitmily of my ao.,
quamtance, resulting in the death of a
mother and her two children. The circum
stances are briefly these: Mrs. W. G. Brain,
who lived on the outskirts of the city, made
a Sunday visit to the residence of her lather,
on an adjacent hill, known as Mount Har
rison; taking with her, two of her four
children, one a little blind girl, four 3 ears
old, and the other an infant of eight months.
In the kitchen of Mr. Dyer's house, ther
father's), there is a cistern with a trap-door,
through which this little blind girl acci
dentally fell. Her screams immediately
attracted her mother to the spot, and she, is
Lao deli wrad firricA ti
o
posed to have Milen in with the infant in
tier arms, in her efforts to rescue the other
child. When the people of the house reach
ed the scene of this heart-rending atildr,
the mother and the two children, were dead
—all drowned together.
On the Bth day of October next, the suff
rage section of the State Constitution of I
Ohio, is to be submitted to the people for
amendment. The proposed change is to
strike out the word " White," which if rati
fied, will enfranchise all men, irrespective
of color or country. The resolution, as it
passed both branches of the Legislature,.
excepted Rebels and deserters, they having
forfeited ail rights to citizenship; and if
giving "aid and comfort" to the enemies of
the country in time of war, constitutes ,
treason, why not include " Copperheads,"
and thus make an infernal trinity of traitors,
treason and cowardice.
I have noticed several published letters,
from different parts of Ohio, in reference to
the prospect of fruit and grain crops the
present season, the general tenor of which
is, that the prospect Tor fruit of all kinds
has not been so good during the last twenty
years, as it is at present. The wheat looks
remarkably well.
A friend in this city, after looking over
copy of the old Srv, which he picked from
my table, innocently asked me how large
the village was where this paper was pub
lished, and was much astonished when I
informed him that the village contained a
population of eight thousand. So true it is
that strangers judge of the character of a
people, and the size and importance of a
town, by the appearance of the paper rep
resenting them. Your enterprise will not
only bo a success to yourself pecuniarily,
but the town itself will be better thought of
in consequence. I sincerely hope the citi
zens will take hold and help you, with both
sympathy and material aid, to make your
metropolitan-looking journal a paying in
stitution. Yours, \ar.

Letter from Illinois.
BULLE:VIII,E, ILL, April, 1867
Forseveral weeks it has been the intention
of your correspondent, to devote a mut of
one letter ut least, to a description of the Lin
dell Hotel, a building which,•for over four
years, has been not only the pride of St.
Louis, but of the West. It was one of the
largest hotels in the world, and the most
magnificent on this continent. It is to-day
a mass of ruins, and what we would have
said, can be said no more. The loss is , one
that is severely felt through the entire
Mississippi valley. As your readers may
have learned by telegraph, it was consum
ed by fire, on the night of Saturday, March
ltOth. Tito lurid glare of the burning struc
ture lighted an the western sky with a
feverish light, that was witnessed by hund
reds of our own citizens, some of whom,
your correspondent among the number,
had left its spacious Violin - lees than rive
hours before. That midnight dispatch that
told us that the Lindell litne/ was a burn
ing mass, prevented sleep from visiting
many oyes that night, for
looked upon its magnificent proportions
with almost the some pride us our neigh
bors across the river.
. _
Th«. Lundell Hotel. was completed in the
fall of 1862, but was not regularly opened
until nearly a year lan-r. On the Litii of
November, came oil the great "Lindell
Ball," one of the grainiest affairs of the
kind that ever transpired on the continent,
and where the wit and beauty of every im
portant city in the North, were represented.
The design of the building was Italian, of
the Venetian school, and was constructed of
brick, iron and stone, and occupied an en
tire square, except it part of a lot on one
corner, on which stood a small brick house,
owned and occupied at the time the Hotel
was built, by a colored woman thiniliarlv
known as "Old Aunt [-fenny." When the
hotel company was formed, efforts were
made to purchase the old colored woman's
property, and five times its value was offer
ed, but she resolutely refused to sell, and
held on to it until the day of her death.
The palace was reared by the side of the
hovel, overtopping it; but to-day the hum
ble roof of the deceased negress stands un
injured by the conflagration that raged
around and above it, while its gigantic and
magnificent neighbor is a heap of splendid
ruins.
The Lindell was six stories high, exclu
sive of attic and basement, both of which
were equivalent to nearly two stories more.
The height from sidewalk to cornice was
one hundred and twelve feet. The stone
used was rich cream-colored magnesian
limestone. The basement extended under
the entire structure, courts and sidewalks,
and comprised the laundry, (live rooms,i
linen rooms, bakery, grocers rooms, coal
and ash vaults, iSm., 6r.c.
DIMENSIONS OP 'SHE PUBLIC BOOM.
The wholo structure, from basement to at
tic, inclusive, embracing public rooms,
stores, wine cellars, offices, etc., had the
enormous number of five hundred and thir
ty rooms. Those of public character were
numerous and suaelotes beyond those of an.,
other hotel edillee on the continent. Their
dimensic ns were as follows :
Gentleman's dining room, 116 feet by 44
Ladies' 35 do 44
Carving room, 49 do 44
Billiard room, 63 do 43
Bar-room, 60 do 41
Parlors, 31 do 30
STATISTICAL S 31 . AR'S%
It has been stated tlrtt the bricks laid on
the walls would be sullioient to pave an area
of more than thirty-eight acres. This is in
addition to 8,000 perches of rubble masonry
in the foundation; 33.000 enbie feet of cut
stone in the fronts, 740 tons of east and
wrought iron. twenty-seven acres of plas

COST UT THE BUILDING
The actual cost of the building was 950,-

when the house was fully completed and
furnished, the whole property cost nearly
$1,500.000.
PARLORS. FURNITURE, ETC
The floor of the ladies' drawing room was
covered with a costly Axminster carpet of
highly ornate pattern. The chairs, sofas,
mantles, mirrors, fie., were gorgeous and
luxunms. The ladies' parlors, three in
tut in ber, were also most elegantly furnished,
and this remark is true, indeed, of the gen
tleman's parlors, four or five in number.
The furniture of the bed rooms was the
saute all over the home—black walnut bed
steads, with walnut marble-top bureaus.
The carpets were all velvets on the first
floor, on the second brussels, and the floors
above tapestries. "Daum."
LIT EMMY NOTICES.
WE nAvE just received from the publish
ers, 0. D. Case Co., Hartford, Coon.,
Vol. 11. of The AMERICA. CONFLICT, by
Horace Greeley.
The publishers of this comprehensive,
thorough, elegant, and truly philosophic
account of the rebellion, have just issued
the second and last volume. It exhausts
the subject, which is saying an immense
deal for a book whose scope and purpose
are so Vastly extended. A civil uproar
over a whole continent, such as the Ameri
can conflict was for a continuous term of
four years, necessarily involves an amount
of action and a variety of scenes that are
not readily to be collected into a single
work, even if a full one. It is a merited
tribute to the popular cm.fidence in the
author of this work, that its sales for the
-first volume, by subscription only, were
one hundred and fifty thousand, and the
orders for the second, inducting the first
with it of course, are fully a quarter of a
million, Everybody will read and consult
Greeley's ''American Conflict." As has
been said already, it will be referred to by
all parties alike in the future, as Allison's
History of Europe is by Liberals as well as
by Tories.
So large and rapid a sale of a historical
work demonstrates the liveliness of the pop
ular feeling in relation to its great theme,
and the universal desire to possess the tic
coma written by so able, painstaking and
vigorous a writer. In the collection of facts
and authorities, Mr. Greeley shows himself
nowise averse to the most patient and pro
tracted labor. He is conscientious in pre
senting them, and seems to look to the
plain and impressive setting forth of the
troth, rather than to produce an effect for
picturesqueness at the cost of force. Noth
ing can be much more terse, direct and
sinewy than his style: not possessed, it is
true, of any too much flexibility for ele
gant narrative, yet enriched with other
compensating qualities which no reader
lo without. We hero See, in this
second volume, the author in the new char
acter of a writer on military matters, bat
tles, marches, seiges, .Cc. He does it as well
as he does the parts of his work, even those
more purely political. There is no ver
biage, no waste by words and sounding
phrases. It is the journalist's style that he
uses, which is the style of the age. Yet it
is fall of clear and strong statement, broad
definition, and vigorous argument. Al
though there will be thousands to differ
from his views, there u - ill be tens of thous
ands who will go to his history of the late
conflict with renewed pleasure at every
reference.
Such a work demands far more space to
treat of its character and contents than it is
in our power to bestow. We can only speak,
with all the emphasis which language has,
of its freshness, fullness, vigor of treatment,
'nervousness and force of style, and
thoroughness of discussion. It was not
contemplated by its author until after the
New York riots of 1863 ; and he has done
marvelously to finish in the interval a
work demandiu; so much laborious pa
tience and uninterrupted application. Mr.
,Ireeley was always reputed a wonderful
worker, and he has proved it again to the
satisfaction of all to whom his name is fa
miliar. By the "History of the American
Conflict" he will be known quite as widely
to posterity as by his reputation as the Edi
tor of the New York Tribune. The volumes
are profusely illustrated with the portraits
of all the leading actors in the many scenes
described, which brings them directly be
fore the refiner. Maps of battle• fields, be
sides a comprehensive map of the entire
theatre of operations, are scattered with a
lavish hand over the paper. The page is a
double column, printed from large and
clear type, and is as attractive to the eye as
publisher could make it.
