DRAFTED DIES
We give, -in this week’s paper, to the ex
clusion of our usual variety, a full and com
plete list of all the drafted men in the county.
It will, doubtless, be interesting and valuable
for future reference, and therefore it would be
well tp preserve this number of the Intelli
gencer.
OUR ACKNOWLEDGMENTS,
The Democracy of this county and State
return their sincere thanks to those generous
conservative men of other parties who so
nobly assisted them in achieving the greatest
political triumph on record. They more than
filled the places of the treacherous renegades
who basely deserted the Democratic party in
the hour of its severest trial, and will he held
in grateful remembrance in all time to come.
THE WAR NEWS,
The oft repeated rumor that the rebels are
evaouating Winchester is believed to be inoor
reet. On the contrary they are constantly
receiving reinforcements, and are evidently
massing a very large force in the Shenandoah
valley. They have occupied the whole line of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Har
per’s Ferry to Paxton’p Cut. So long as the
Potomac continues to be as low as it is now
neither army will be likely to move. The
rebels know that it is fordable at almost any
point, while Gen. McClellan, on the other
hand, is compelled to keep his army scattered
along the river for a distance of thirty miles.
The rebels ere carrying out Gov. Letcher’s
recommendation to destroy the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and have torn up the track from
Harper’s Ferry to a distance of ten or twelve
miles beyond Martineburg. It is reported
that they are filling up Paxton’s Cat by
blasting rocks and burying the rails.—
Numerous bridges have also been destroyed
by them.
TH£ EXEMPTS'
One of the most disgraceful exhibitions we
have ever seen was witnessed in this city on
Friday and Saturday last, and on yesterday.
After the draft for the county was completed
on Thursday, the Commissioner, acting under
instructions from Harrisburg, opened the ap
peal for exemptions, and such a crowd of hale,
stalwart young men from the country, as
claimed that they were conscientiously opposed
to bearing arms, beggared all' description !
There- were hundreds of'them crowding the
Square from morning till night. These are
the “Wide Awake” Patriots , great on voting
the Abolition ticket, and all along violently
opposed to any compromise of our National
difficulties. They have no objection to the
shedding of blood by others in defence of the
Union but, are conscientiously opposed to run
ning the risk of having their own veins opened
by the enemy. We suppose another draft
will have to be resorted to in some of the
townships to fill the ’places of these cowardly
exempts. We are ashamed that such scenes
•have transpired in Lancaster county.
THEY FEEL BAD I
Those two-penny Abolition orators who
figured so conspicuously in front of the
Examiner office and elsewhere in this city, on
. the night of the election. Their vile abuse of
-the Democrats upon that occasion has only
recoiled upon their own heads, and they are
now heartily despised by the respectable
portion of their own party. They must feel
quite as much chopfallen as poor Forney does,
after claiming, on Wednesday morning, the
election of the Abolition State ticket by fifty
thousand majority!
THE ROLL OF HONOR.
A complete list of the killed and wounded
in 601. Hambrightfs Lancaster County Regi
ment, at the recent battle at
will be found in our local columns. The loss
is heavy, <md shows the sanguinary character
of the terrible conflict in which our brave boys
were engaged. All honor to the gallant 79tb,
and their noble commander. Their names are
enshrined in the hearts of their fellow-citizens,
and they will be remembered with gratitude
in all time to come for their patriotism and
bravery in defence of their country and its
time-honored institutions. To the bereaved
ones in our midst whose loved ones sleep their
last sleep on the far off battle-field, it must be
a source of consolation to know that their
husbands, sons and* brothers fell bravely
fighting under the Star Spangled Banner of
the Republic, and in defence of'the glorious
old Union which was reared and; established
by our Revolutionary sires.
How sleep the brave who sink to rest,
Amid their country’s honors .bleat.
THEY CRY PECCAVIJ
Those cowardly Abolitionists in this city
who, .for the last eighteen months, through the
pressand.on-the corners of the streets, have been
endeavoring to incite mob law and violence
against their Democratic neighbors, are now
fearful that the poisoned chalice may bo re

((DISLOYALTY ” M PENNSYLVANIA.
The recent election in this State has revealed j
the astounding fact that there are .

JSebo

frtMeq^o^this
that some effectiveSneausshould be devised to
manifest the power Adminis
tration to repress or remove this taint from the
fair fame of our Commonwealth. The Govera
of the Deputy Marshals, Assessors, Collectors
and Postmasters, which it so gnardedly placed
“at lhr'poßs, W the- names and places of
residence of these , disloyalists, and wh<s, if
ihmnumerous to activity

diem whioh they are Bucking from: the
Treasury, could be arrested and held for such
condign punishment as might be decreed by
the Hon. Seoretary of War. The greatest
difficulty to be overcome is their great
number! :-
As the oircnmscribed limits of the forts at
the command of the Government,would not be
adequate to hold so great a multitude of dis
loyalists," and as the arrangement has not yet
been perfected with the Government of Cen
tral America for the reception of the loyal
freedmen of the Sonth, would it not. be feasi
ble and politio for the President to negotiate
also for the transportation and settlement of
the 218,000 white disloyalists of Pennsylvania
to some portion of that, attractive country ?
Mr. Lincoln might also, through his peculi
arly logical and persnasive address, influence
a sufficient number of the unquestionable
loyal freedmen of the South To fill up the num
ber of our population expatriated. - Oar State
would thus become socially and politically
harmonious, and the regeneration of bo many
thousands of the descendents of Africa be con
summated under the brotherly and philan
thropic care of Forney, Cumhings, Geist,
Bergnee & Co.
THE DRAFT.
Many of our political opponents are wincing
terribly under the draft. They did not expect
this when they voted.for Stevens. They
were made believe that by casting their votes
for the Abolition oandidate for Congress and
electing him, there either would be no draft
at all in the county, or, if there should be,
there would be none but Democrats taken.—
But the eleotion is over and the draft has
come, and there is no getting ont of it. Go
they mnst, or find a substitute, and that is
not so easily done exoept at a very high price.
They were all very willing to tarn out and
vote the Abolition ticket, but they are utterly
averse to shouldering their, muskets and
marching in defence of their country. They
very much prefer staying at home and
slandering their Demooratie fellow-citizens to
risking life or limb on the field of battle.
Such cowardly fellows are not fit to he'
entitled to the privileges of oitizenehip. They
have brought on this war, and now they are
afraid to help to fight it ont—preferring that
the “secession sympathisers” and “traitors,”
as they have been pleased to call the Demo
crats all along, should do that part of the
business.
MR. HUGHES « AT HOME.”
The Democratic citizens of Pottsville have
resolved to testify their appreciation of their
eminent fellow-townsman, the H-ra. Francis
W. Hughes, by presenting him with a hand
some silver service. A large meeting was held
on the subject, on the evening of the 18th inßt.,
and the necessary preliminary arrangements
were made. In order to give all an opportu
nity to contribute, the subscriptions were
limited to one dollar each.
The vote of Schuylkill county is something
for Mr. Hughes and his friends to be proud of,
especially when the energetic attempts to in
jure him, and through him, his party aye cob
sidered, and it ib at the Bame time a burning
rebuke to Messrs. Loeser, Tower, (iampbell
and others, who-stooped to unworthy means to
injure him. The Democratic majority in
Schuylkill is 1614. This is a gain of 1857
over Foster’s vote.
“ SOUR GRAPES !»
The result of the recent election in Penn
sylvania is gall and wormwood to the Abolition
journals of this city—hence their foul mouthed
abuse of the senior editor of the Intelligencer,
Francis W. Hughes, Ex-President Bu
chanan, and others, in their respective issues
of Wednesday last. As these editors, like
their great file-leader Forney, are evidently
troubled with the prevailing epidemic, denom
inated by the New York Herald “nigger on
the brain,” we should deem it to be the heightb
of cruelty to aggravate the disease by replying
to their scurrilous attacks. We shall, there
fore, out of sheer pity, overlook their personal
abuse, in the hope that mild treatment and
the pure .Democratic atmosphere which they
are now permitted to inhale will so improve
their moral and physical condition as to make
them tolerably decent and respectable, at
least in oonduct and appearance, for some time
to come. We shall try the experiment at-all
events, and advise our cotemporaries by all
means to keep cool while they are undergoing
this humane treatment.
THE LEGISLATURE,
The House will have 54 Democrats and 46
Abolitionists, and the Senate 13 Democrats
and 20 Abolitionists—leaving but one
Democratic majority on joint ballot. If there
is no treachery, this majority, says the Patriot
c£ Union , will secure the election of a Demo
cratic United States Senator in place of David
Wilmot, whose term will expire on the 4th of
March next. The same paper says further,
that “we shall look upon every member elected
as true to the party that elected him ; we shall
treat every one as faithful, until signs of
apostacy Bhall indicate misplaced confidence
—and if such a time should arrive, all we have
to say is, it would be better for the member
who flinches, or dodges, or goes direotly over
to the enemy on the organization of the House,
the election of a United States Senator, or any
test question that may arise, that he had a
millßtone around his neck and were cast into
the sea.” And so say the Democracy every
where. _
THE RENEGADES REWARDED.
The renegade John Rowe, late Speaker of
the House, has been eleoted to -stay at home.
The same is true of Ross, Chathah and
Busby, all of whom acted with the Abolition
ists last winter, although elected as “Union
Democrats.”
The Patriot & Union, speaking of the defeat
of these renegades, says : “The lesson will not
be fruitless. With the stamp of apostaoy upon
their foreheads, we shall see these traitors,
henceforward, sink lower and lower in the
estimation of honorable men of all parties.”
And again : “They will share the fate of their
leader, Forney, find beoome, if not wanderers,
at least political vagabonds upon the face of
the earth, Bhunned and abhorred by all who
have-not fallen as low as themselves.”
X&P The Boston Post says that Mr; French
has taught one hundred negro children at Fer
nandina, Fla., to sing "Glory, Glory Hallelu
jah” at gn estimated expense to the Govern
ment of about $200,000. That’s where, the
people’s mans? goes, and while .itgqes the
soldiers are left unpaidfor six or eight months.

The New York World , in Bpeaking of the
elections, says:
The result of these eleotions cannot fail to
have an immediate salutary influence. They
relieve our northern communities from the
military terrorism which has for some months
repressed *and paralyzed free discussion. The
anti-abolitionists find that they are so nu
merous that there can be no danger in the
free expression of their sentiments. The con
servative reaction will accordingly proceed
with increased momentum. By tbe_time the
November elections are over and their .resalts
declared, the President will perceive that the
emancipation proclamation was not demanded
by a majority of tho people. It will be evi
dent to him that he used a wise precaution in
making hie proclamation merely preliminary,
and postponing final and irreversible action
until the public will could bo gathered through
the fall elections. The administration will
also be led to proceed with more caution in
the management of the national finances.—
The conservative success in these elections is
merely a revival of the doctrine of responsi
bility. It demonstrates that hereafter all the
measures of the government will be freely
canvassed by the people, and that they will
hold the administration to a strict accounta
bility in itg management both of the war.and
of the finances. The people demand that the
war shall be prosecuted with vigor and that
the currency shall not bo rained by needless
inflation. -They will make no factious oppo
sition bat they will not fail to keep their
rulers under tha_t just and wholesome sense of
accountability which should never be relaxed
either in peace or war.
THE NATIONAL MILITIA. LAW
Congress at its next session will, doubtless,
be called on by the War Department to modify
and amend the militia law under which the
Government drafts the militia of the State in
to the national service. The time specified
under the present law is considered too short.
Nine months is a very short space of time in
which to gather an army of raw recruits and
make use of them in a war like this. It is
said that the law will be changed so as to
tend the time to eighteen months, and that
unless our Government achieve very marked
success before December, under the modified
law a new call will be made for a quarter of
a million of fresh men. If a conscription act
becomes necessary, Congress will engraft
many important amendments upon the present
law. The humane provisions of the French sys
tem will probably be adopted, and our present
law will be shorn of some of its harsher
features. It is known that members of the
. Military Committees of both branches of Con
gress favor provisions that will make distinc
tions between married and unmarried men,
and which will imitate the French system by
fixing tho price of a substitute—the Govern
ment itself assuming the business of the sub
stitute brokers.
CARRIGAN’S DISTRICT
We are pleased to see a determination on the
part of the Democracy of the 5 th Congressional
district to contest the right of Mr. Thayer to a
seat in Congress. We have no doubt that the
Abolitionists used fraudulent means to swell
his majority in Philadelphia above that given
to Mr. Carrigan in Bucks county. It was first
announced as 413, then it was raised to over
500, and finally pushed up to 626, we believe.
The Philadelphia Evening Journal of Monday
evening Bays:
“In the sth Congressional district the right
of Thayer to the Beat will be made a matter of
investigation for thenew Congress. There are
certain features about the largely increased
vote of the opposition that demand and will
receive most searching scrutiny. There is on
hand, and constantly increasing, plenty of
material for a successful contest. We forbear
at present to name any of the grounds of
contest, lest the unscrupulous partisans who
have defrauded the majority of the voters in
this district, take the necessary steps to cover
up—what an investigation will show to be—
gross frauds. There are also questions, solely
of a legal character, involved, the determina
tion of which oannot foil to affect*lr. Thayer’s
right to the seat.”
We-return thanks to our friend Maj.
R. W. Shenk, 135th Regiment, P. Y„ for late
copies of the Richmond Whig and Enquirer.
In a note from the Major, we learn that he
was at Aiken’s Landing, ten and a half miles
from Richmond, on Wednesday last, where he
had just landed a load of rebel prisoners of
war. 'He says that he iB thoroughly broken
into the flag of truce business. He has made
several trips to that point with prisoners to be
exchanged.
“THE CONSTITUTIONAL, UNION.”
The daily Constitutional Union has been
discontinued, but the weekly will be issued as
usual every Saturday morning, at No. 130
South 3d street, Philadelphia, at $2 per
annum. Wo wish the enterprising pub
lishers, Thomaß B. Florence & Co., abundant
success.
B@=AU the Democrats in the Arsenal at
Philadelphia, who would not vote the Aboli
tion ticket on Tuesday, in obedience to the
command of John Covode, received the follow
ing note of dismissal;
“ You are hereby notified your services
will no longer be required in this depart
ment.”
This is the way in which white men are
treated by the leaders of the Abolition faction.
SUCKING THE TREASURY.
Some of the Abolition papers are becom
ing weak from the loss of blood, through the
Treasury Department. The expenses of the
war are considered quite enough for them, at
present, without purchasing millions of slaves,
and afterwards Bpending additional, millions
of dollars to carry out the President’s idea of
colonization. In a fit of agony, the New York
Times exclaims:
“In behalf of a suffering national treasury,
we protest against the further consideration
of schemes for sending the newly enfranchised
blacks to foreign colonieß. Every day we
see the engineering appliances of these gigan
tic jobs peering through the Washington dis
patches- They have been exposed and explo
ed, and it is time they were abandoned.”

Distinguished Visitors.— We' had the
pleasure on Tuesday last of taking by the hand Hon. J.

member of Congress from Berks county, Hon. George K.
Shiel, member of Congress from Oregon, Charles Kessler,
Esq., editor of .the Reading Adler , and Wiluam Funk,
Esq, from Washington City. They paid a friendlv visit
to ex-President Bdchanvn and dined with him at Wheat
land. They left for Philadelphia in the 6P. M. train.
Democratic Thunder.— The gallant De
mocracy of this city firod one hundred guns on Thursday
evening last, in honor of the great victories achieved ovor
the enemies of ibe country in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana, on the 14th inst. The firing was most excellently
done, the “Old Buck” speaking In tbunder_lon6s.
The Democracy of MillersviUeftlso-fireffa salute in honor
of the same victories rm-'Fflday evening. The firing was
done under the direction of our good German friend,
Mr. C. P, Reese.
Terrible and Fatal Accident.— Oo Fri
day afternoon last, between 3 and 4 o’efock, the Cumber
land VaJey freight train struck and ran over a woman
n-med Mrs. Ricbp, residing in the Sonth West Ward of
this city, killing her ln6tautly, as is supposed from the
character of her injuries. The body was brought to this
city at 6 o’clock, and an iuquest subsequently held by
Deputy Coroner Snyder, at which no farther facts were
elicited. The woman was apparently some forty-five years
of age, and had wittyher a basket containing asmall quan
tity of flour and m and a kettle containing lard, lead
ing to the snpptsition (which her drees seemed partly to
confirm) that she had been asking aims from the.farmers
in the neighhoihcod where the accident occurred, which
was at Landis’ Warehouse, some three miles east of this
city. A road crosso9 the railway at this point, and she
mast have attempted to <*ros6 before the approaching train
reached her, and forfeited her life for her rashneßß. Noth
ing was found about her by which she could be identified.

GODEY FOR NOVEMBER —Another splendid number.

al embarasameots of trade, nor the existence of war, shall
interfere to tbe slightest extent with his great enterprise.
The varied contents embrace ail that can give elegance to
a publication of that character. The engravings are of tbe
highest order of aitistlc,merit. and the reading matter un
exceptionable in tobe and faultless in composition. One
copy, oue year, $3.00; two copies, one year, s6.oo;.three
copies, one year. $6.00. Address for subscription, Louis A.
Godey, 323 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
PETERSON’S MAGAZINE.—The November number of
this beautiful magazine and great favorite of the ladies is
decidedly captivating. It contains forty-two articles sod
forty-five embellishments, and is worthy of universal ad
miration. Peterson is resolved that be will not be outdone,
and we can hardly Imagine how he could posaibty'render
a much it ore acceptable service' to his fair he
is and has been doing for years in the regalar publication
of his charming periodical. The price is bat $2.00 per
year. Published by Charles J." Peterson, 306 Cbesnut street,
Philadelphia.
Tbe Detroit Free Press denies, on tbe an.
tbority of General Cass himself, tbe story that
has been going the rounds of tbe Abolition
papers, that he' (Gass) approves of tbe Presi
dent’s Emancipation Proclamation. Tbe old
patriot and 'statesman says : “ There: is no
power in the'Executive, under lie Constitution >
to decree the emancipation of slates.” The
Abolition papers, however,, will not have tbe
honesty or candor to give publicity to. this
contradiction.

oountry and the' race to whom its destinies
were Committed, to go off in a crusade jeop
ardizing the institutions of the country, vio
lating the Constitution, menacing the harmony
and integrity of every, bond of Onion, rather
than slavery should.be extended. What do
they care for slavery. ? They would seek to
rivet slavery upon the limbs of thirty millions
' of people, and upon humanity for all time to
come, in order that their mad, crude, incen
diary ideas should be carried out in reference
to a few blacks.
THB LATE ELECTIONS.
The New-York Journal of Coinmerce says
the elections in the. three great States of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana are a death
blow to radical policy, slave insurrection,
negro equality, negro arming, negro rations,
and all the black isms and plans of radical
men.
The President has been deceived by radical
men. He was assured that if he would em
brace their ideas the whole north would be
with him, and that he' had but to issue an
Emancipation Proclamation to cause a rush to
arms, of hundreds of thousands of men, who
qnly awaited *such a declaration of policy to
rake the field. He believed them, and sent out
the desired proclamation, and waited, and is
Still waiting, and will continue to wait, for the
promised nine hundred thousand. ,Says the
Journal: Pennsylvania says in plain words
—“We-have had only three weeks to think
this thing over—we do not like to. express a
hasty judgment, but since we must, we don’t
like it.” 1 Ohio says—“ Mr. President, your
old tiied^ways # are the best—we prefer them.”
Indians/ says—“We have fought in this war
with.<foldiers brave as the bravest, and we are
fighting now, and will fight on, but we disap
prove of this new policy.” 'And then, after
the three great States have spoken, Massachu
setts herself, instead of swarming the roads,
as her Governor bad promised, actually puts
iotu execution a draft for a miserable four or
five thousand nine month’ men to make up her
old quota. There is the history—let it be read
and pondered I
From the Episoopal Recorder.
CONSCIENTIOUS SCRUPLES.
Under this head the Calendar remarks
The Quakers are exempt from military
service, because of their conscience. Well,
others have their moral obligations, and when
a man is disinclined to anything, he can find
reasons against it as “thick as blackberries.”
fie that’s convinced against his will,
Is of the some opinion still.
Now what should be the rule by which a
person may be exempted from a disagreeable
service f Is it in the mere opinion which he
may have ? Then should some of out citizens
be exempted from the draft. Is it the Scrip
ture ? Surely. But can it be proved that
the inspired Word is opposed to every kind of
war ? If so,, it is right to exempt the Quakers.
But if not, then they have a privilege beyond
all other classes by a mere arbitrary enaot
ment How many others might set np the
same plea of conscience ? If the Bible, the
only infallible rule, allows war, then the
notion of the Quakers ought not to be regarded,
in a case where the same Divine authority
pronounces a war to be right. There is
another class of , citizens who have their con
scientious scruples against a soldier’s life,
based on the nature of a soldier’s food.
Should their moral sense be made a rule and
Regarded? They have Soripture on their
side, as clearly-'as do the-Quakers. We mean
the Jews. “An Israelite,” eaye the Brooklyn
Daily Times , “asks why his fellow-religionists
should not be exempted from the draft, since
pork, wbioh constitutes a large part of the
army rations, is forbidden in tbe Soripture to
the eons of Abraham ?”
We do not see how the Quaker exemption
is to be defended without the grossest partiality
If we exempt on this ground, where shall we
sfop ? Here, on one hand, we find a large
olass of men who declare that u'nlesß the war
be one for immediate abolition, they are con
scientiously opposed to itß continuance. Here
iB another class who view tbe consequences of
military abolition as even more disastrous than
those of peaceable separation. Each class is
undoubtedly conscientious. Each class could
undoubtedly work np these convictions into
religions scruples. Yet the diffionlty would
be that if we allow such teste, we not only
deoimate our armies, and Teduee oar strength ;
but make war, not the united action of a
nation', bat tbo fanatioiem of a particular class
of opinionists. None would fight except those
who liked the policy for which wo were con
tending. Far different is this from the
doctrine of the Bible, which exaote obedience
to the government as a duty to government
itself.
THE MILITARY VOTE.
Ae a further evidence that there was an or
ganized plan among the Abolitionists to dis
franchise tbe people of Pennsylvania by a
partial army vote, we publish the following
dispatch, which was sent toSelinsgrove by no
less a personage than our distinguished- Sec
retary of State :
Harrisburg, Oct. 17,1862.
7b William F. Waggonseller:
I find there will be an army vote. I am
told the return judges of Dauphip county will
adjourn to receive votes. Should you not do
so ? _ (Signed) ELI SLIFER.
This -dispatch speaks for itself, and can be
readily understood by all. A Belf constituted
committee went; to the army and polled the
votes ;of two Abolitionize.d companies from
this, county, hut this did not furnish votes
enough to elect Bergner’s.pet, Patterson, and
therefore they desired to have the judges
adjourn until this committee could visit the
army again and bnnt np the votes required.
This was a high-handed piece of scoundrel
ism, in perfect keeping with" the candidate
and bis backers, but fortunately for the peace
of the dratriot it failed. —Patriot <fe Union.

Another of Messrs. > v cott & Cu’s valuable re-prlnts, “The

other interesting articles one exceedingly readable and In
structive biographical sketch of the Memoirs of Sir Marc
Isambard Brunei, the famous engineer of the Thames Tun
nel. Messrs. Scott. A Co. deserve the thanks of the reading
public for placing before os those able periodicals at so
cheap a rate.
In the half-dollar pamphlet form, Mr. F. A. Brady, New
York, publishes “ Silver Star or the Mystery of Fontelle
Hall,” by Cousin. May Carleton. We fiod this to be a read
able fiction, full of the intense and startling, somewhat
overwrought, but managed with much skill and power. It
is liberally illustrated with very good wo:id engravings
after designs by the inimt&ble Darloy. When will Mr.
Brady pnbllah'some more of Pierce Egan’s flne'uovola?
With each successive novel by the fair author of East
Lynne we are'more than ever satisfied that even now there
are few writers that can equal her, and that in time she
must eicol them ail. Here, in a neat half dollar pamphlet
volumo, printed from advance sheets purchased from the
English publishers, Messrs. T.. 8. Peterson A Brothers give
ns her last finished work, ‘-The Mystery, a Stsry of Domes
tic Life.” We say her last finished work, for. we know not
how many, Yemer’a Pride, Mrs. Halihurton’s Trials, etc.,
she Is now writing, and we see by a late English paper that
she begins two new novels in different periodicals on the
first of January. With all this facility of production she
continues to improve in style and mastery of bnguage and
plot, as any comparison of her early-works with The
Mystery will prove. No living fetnalecan equal her in the
construction of a story. She oven now excells Charlotte
Bronte.
The same publishers issue a new editition of Wilkie Col-
lins’ admirable collection of stories arranged on a continu
ous thread, and entitled “ After Dark.” Leaves from Leak’s
Diary, a Terribly Strango Bed, The Stolen Letter. The Lady
of Glontwith Grange, Gabriel’s Marriage, and the Yellow
Mask, are the titles of the different stories, or the different
partß of the one Btory. and they all posers the marked
characteristics of tho author’B genian. Therelsnota better
or pore successful novelist before the public than Wilkie
Collins.
The last volume,- the nioth, of Tlcknor A Fields' ex
qnijileedltlonoflockbart’s Memoirs of Sir Waiter Scott, is
now published. With this Incomparable biography the
pnblic has long bean familiar. It seemed to have been
Lockhart’s special mifsiou in life to prepare these memori
als of bis father-in-law, and any publisher might be proud
ifbe bad ne r «r issued anything bat this charming.edition.
We have so often spoken of it that we know not iurther
what to say. But we cannot let this last opportunity pass
without urging our readers to securo the work for their
libraries when the whole niae volumes are offered at a
price within the figures paid for the old SDd inferior edi
tions in the market. The iudex at the close, so valuable in
a work of the kind; of itself is worth a ten dollar bill.
The same publishers issue “The New Gymnastics for
Men, Women and Children,” by Dio Lewis, containing dqw
and original exercises with Dumb-Bells, Clubs, Wands,
Rings, Bags, etc. All these exercises are so,simple that
with the aid of three hundred illustrations that accompany
the toxt they may-be readily understood by every person,
so that we do Dot err in calling this new and complete
Manual of. Gymnastic Exercises, a Book for Family Use.
The exercises may be performed in the home circle, by
strong men, by ladies and by children, if of no other ase
they would be invaluable for the amount of entertainment
they furnish, varied, graceful and suited to all oiasses, but
when we consider how their general practice must con
tribute to the general health, and how important physical
training is even to ladies and children, wo cannot commend
the volume too strongly. We are glad to see it already
coming into popular use. H.
ENGLISH NEWS.
Mr. Gladstone’s statement in a speeoh at
Newcastle, that Jeff. Davis has made the South
a nation, and that ho considers a separation
certain,, attracts great attention, and causes
flatness in cotton. The papers generally ■ ap
prove of Gladstone’s remarks, and some
think a recognition of’the South will soon
follow.
, Mr. Gladstone, in the address alluded to,
made use of the following remark in reference
to the war in Amerioa:
“The slaves would be better off if the States
were separated, as on the basis of union the
law against slaves was enforoed by the whole
power of the Federal Government. Our neu
trality has been more against the South than
the North.. We ought to judge tenderly of
the North. It had never drunk the eup of
bitterness, and it exaggerated its feelings.—
Let us bear with them. Let us not forget the
reception they gave the Prince of Wales. : It
was a proof of the settled goodwill of America
to England. There could be no doubt that
Jeff. Davis had made a nation of the South.
Mr. Gladstone treated the South as a success
ful cause.” The announcement oaueed great
sensation.
The London Times remarks, that it can
hardly be alleged that Mr. Gladstone has
gone beyond the bounds of offioial reserve in
the statement. that Jeff. Davis has made a
nation of the South. If any community ever
did earn the name of a nation, the Southern
Confederacy have. It is the bare fact. It
need have nothing to do with the politics of
the question. It is wholly independent of
moral consideration. Mr. Gladstone concludes
very reasonably that the Confederates who
are a nation will remain so, and that their
nationality will not be absorbed back into the
Union.
The London Daily News says .it does not
find fault with Mr. Gladstone for recognizing
the progress which the Sonth has made in es
tablishing its independence; but, since be
spoke of British counsel ae)a possible element
in tbe final settlement, could he not have said
one word in favor of saving from the curse of
slavery the vast countries which fall to one' or
other of the combatants, but whose destiny is
at present undecided ?
The London Star thinks Mr. Gladstone’s
speech will tend to revive among tbe Confed
erates—which perhaps as much as any . other
lnred them into rebellion—the hope that the
English government would in the end be in
duced to lend them, at least, an open sympa
thy and moral support. „
The London Herald saye Mr. Gladstone’s
words are of course not the mere hap-hazard
expressions of individual opiuion. They will
bo taken as the deliberate sanction of the
Cabinet, of which he is a member... It will now
be understood throughontEuropeand America
both that the'English Government are con
vinced tffe time has come to recognize the in
dependence of the South.
The London Globe says it has no authority
to announce the day or hour tho recognition
will be given on, the part of this country, but
it ie dear it.cannot be deferred long, and in
any other case there is no doubt it would have
been given sooner. The sincere repugnance
to countenance or encourage, by any prema
ture act, the formation of an - independent
slave power, can alone account for tbp delay
in this instance.
The London Shipping Gazette .oan hardly
suppose that Mr. Gladstone expressed senti
tnents’at variance with those of his colleagues.
Possibly-he has been premature in the an
nouncement'of-bis views. At- Manchester,
recently, he publicly expressed confidence in
tbe success of the Southern oanse.; ,]He,ie, at
all events, deliberate and consistent. If the
opinions ha has given utterance to are not
Bhared by his colleagues, it is difficult' to un
derstand how he ip to continue, ip his present
assooiatipn to advise,the Crown.
