Lea. pp. 407.” Very recently we noticed at some length a work by Mr. Lea, Which we con sidcrcd too valuable to allow to pass without a few words of comment and commendation. The present work, though first in the order of publication, claims from us atthis late day a thoughtful attention. We premise our re marks with the statement, that Mr. Lea is both the author and the publisher of this work, and shows himself as much the master in the one department as in the other. The volume is made up of essays on the subjects named in the title, three of which he first pub lished in the North American Review. The subjects treated of are of singular interest in themselves, and certainly lose none of their interest by the manner in which the author has discussed them. We did not suppose him to be competent to write a work not-wcll worth the reading, but we confess that we took up this volume expect ing to find a somewhat heavy discussion of the topics named. We were agreeably sur prised to find it anything but heavy reading We found in it rich instruction and thorough, illustration, the several topics examined being discussed in the light of numerous anecdotes with some of which we have had Familiar acquaintance, but with more of which our reading has never brought us into contact. Although prepared as distinct essays on the several subjects named, the chapters consti tute, in truth, a history of the general subject of wager, and curiously illus trate the progress of ideas, and so the advancement of civilization. The student of history will find his memory refreshed by the perusal of this volume, and few can exam ine it without feeling themselves under great obligations to an author, the bent of whose mind has led him to track through all history, ancient and modern, whatever can be learned -on the subject of the “Wager” and the cog nate means once and but recently employed for the eduction of the truth. . There is a peculiar fascination accompany ing that habit of study, which, taking up some one theme, that leaps out before the mind, from the mass of • history, makes it hold itself subject to the call of the searcher, and to spring up at his volition on every hand. Every reader of histoiy has noticed the frequent recurrence of the wager, torture and ordeal in its pages; but few would have deemed it practicable, or, if practicable, worth the effort to search through the details of history to gather to gether all the allusions to them. Mr. Lea has done this very thoroughly and very ad mirably, and we are at a loss which to com mend the most, his patient industiy in gathering his materials, the extent of his reading, by which he has brought himself into familiar contact with them, or the ease with which he moves among them, as things to which he could never have been a stranger. The result of his patient research is the very instructive volume before us. The volume shows u$ how men in all ages have : labored to educe the truth from their oppo nents, and exhibits to us the expe dients to which they resorted in order to' attain it. It seems to us a very novel method of proving a man to be truthful, to require four men to swear as compurgators that they honestly believe him to he truthful. Yet this process was by no means uncommon as late as the reign of Edward VI. In our own day we have a relic of barbarism among us, akin to this matter of wager. One who imagines his honor to be wounded challenges another to deadly com bat, staking upon the issue the truth or falseness of the alleged imputation. The chances are just as much in favor of the one party.as the other. The challenger may escape unhurt, and his adversary be killed; but it certainly does not prove the latter wrong, nor the former not The in stance of David and Goliah may occur to the mind as one in which the decision was clearly on the side of right. It was so, but it was Divinely ordered; for David was the appointed champion of the cause of God. This cannot be said of modern duels, nor of modem battles; or, if it can be said, it will not be alleged that either party knows him self inspired of God. The ordeal has ever presented to our minds more of interest than either the wager or the torture, perhaps because of its- having been divinely prescribed in the Mosaic code. * The reader will find in this chapter very much that is suggestive and rich with instruction. Torture of various kinds has been resorted to in all ages, in order to aid in the discovery of the truth. If it had been always employed upon the guilty it might, in most cases, have been successful. Unfortunately, men, women, and even children have been tortured to elicit confession of which they were •wholly innocent and ignorant. The world has progressed somewhat since then; but we have known, within the last few years, men and women cruelly tortued on the mere suspicion ■—as it proved, the groundless suspicion—of possessing information which, if elicited, would have proved invaluable to their tormentors. We regret that we must do the author the seedling injustice ol so cursory and unsatis factory a review. We can make only partial amends by saving that we have found no page that was not freighted with material for a very extended notice. We cordially thank Mr. Lea for the interest and instruction we have found in this volume, and we sincerely trust that a mind so gifted and a pen so facile will give to us many works of e<iual interest with those already be fore the public. He will not, we are sure, consider our suggestion an impertinent one, if we suggest that a history of the orders of knighthood is one that his pen would grace, and which lew are as competent as he to dis cuss impartially,-and to invest with deepest interest. “Christianity and its Conflicts, Ancient and Modern. By E. E. Marcy, A. M. New Yoik. D. Appleton & Co., 1807; p. p. iso.” The politeness of Mr. D. Ashmead has placed upon our table this volume, published, aa will be seen, by the Appletons of! New Ybik. , Of the author we know no more than appears from the title page, and from lhe work the title is a misnomer. The author considers Christi anity from his own ecclesiastical standpoint, and excludes from the pale Of Christianity all who do not see and think as he does. We have noted numerous errors in history, many false quotations, and so mahy perversions of history, as to induce us to advise our readers that the work is wholly unreliable. The style of the author is a little too much on the as cendant—that of a young man laboring to produce a stirring sensation. Some of his passages are tinged with genuine eloquence, but the remainder become the more insipid from overstraining. “The Human Element in the Inspiration of the Sacred Scriptures, by T. F. Curtis, D. D. New York, Appleton &Co., 18(17.” The au thor of this book bas gone out of the beaten track. Most writers on the subject of Inspi ration have undertaken to show that a high degree of divine illumination and guidance was communicated to holy men to impart divine knowledge to mortals. This book is written not only to claim for the holy Scrip tures divine authority, but to teach the reader of the Bible to examine it in a fearless spirit of inquiry. ~ The difficulties in reconciling the. Chronology of, the Bible ..with the re searches of Geology are fairly stated and fully met. Unlike Dr. Golenso, the writer does not infer from the difficulties that arise that there is no truth in the historical portion of the Bible. He is as much impressed with the vexed question, but while he shuns the dan gerous path of skepticism on the one hand, he, on the other hand, studiously avoids that which has led many to the point of predicat ing the infallibility of the Bible on matters of science and history; and leads the thoughtful reader to the standpoint where he can investi gate the subject for the purpose of being grounded and settled in the truth of the Book of books.

Philadelphia, J. ll..Lippineott & Co., 18(17.” The fervent prayer in the hymn, “Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of oura,” should never cease to be Used. There is too much icy coldness in the heart and conduct, however the temperature of the atmosphere may indicate the contrary. This work of the earnest and excellent Emanuel Swedenborg treats of love, a quality of which it would be better for the world if there were more. The book (not love) was first written in Latin, and now comes forth in a translation made by K. Norman Foster. In some parts the translator has taken liberties with the original, to make the book better understood by those who read the work in an English dress. The reasons for this departure are candidly given and accounted!'or. Those who do not endorse Emanuel Swedenborg’s views concede to him sincerity and a large share of the love of benevolence. But those who are his disciples will no doubt be pleased with this book, Which treats of divine love and wisdom as life and light. The idea of correspondencies between the natural and spiritual worlds is dwelt upon, and that angels are constantly imparting knowledge: The book is gotten up in handsome style, both as regards paper, binding and typo graphy. - “.foil 11 Btoun,” the Reputed Lover of Hie Queen—'Alic Latent Reports About It i ni. Referring to the Queen’s visit to Floors Castle, the Edinburgh correspondent of the Iverness Advertiser says: “It was observed on several occasions that John appeared somewhat officious in the dis charge of his duty toward Her Majesty. For instance, when the royal train arrived at Kelso, John was the first to approach the carriage which contained the Queen, and, but for the intervention of the Duke aud Duchess of Roxburgh, the Duke of Buc cleuch, and other distinguished company on the platform, the stalwart Highlander would have conducted his Sovereign across the platform and through the triumphal arch to the royal carriage at the outside of the sta tion. This he was prevented from doiug by the Duchess of Roxburgh, who all but pressed bim to one side in order to approach the Queen on alighting from the royal saloon. John, who was dressed in full Highland cos tume, seemed immensely proud of his posi tion; and it was certainly amusing in the ex treme to see him now and again, with a broad grin, bowing bis acknowledgments for the cheers raised for her Majesty, some of which he probably thought were intended for himself. On the occasion of the visit to Mel rose, John accompanied the royal visitors into the abbey, and seemed anxious to obtain a good view Of the architectural beauties with which it abounds. On returning to the carriage in advance of the Queen, he found that his Balmoral bonnet had fallen from the back seat over to that which her Majesty was - again about to occupy; he lifted it up with the poiut of her Majesty's parasol, then took the Queen’s black shawl; and threw it over bis arm, and on her Majesty again rcachiug the carriage he assisted her into her beat, and placed the shawl over her shoulders with great care. ‘Welcome to the Borders—John Brown,’ and ‘God Save the Queen—John Brown,' were the words which, surrounded with iloral decorations, were displayed over a shop , in one of the principal streets in Kelso. They were words that astonished many of the pass ers-by. But the simple explanation is this— that the John Brown whose name was painted under die mottoes was no odier than die de cent man who kept the shop, and who never dreamed of a joke when lie surroutuled his sign-board with these words of welcome aud goodwill towards his sovereign ’’ Stories About Norwegians. A traveler tells a story of a Ilallingdal man who entered a church during the perlormanee of divine service. Walking up the aisle of the church, lie stood a moment in front of the communion table, and then, turning a somersault, he sprang over the communion rails and alighted on the table. The offici ating clergyman, who was renowned for his great strength, seized the offender by the seek, and hurled him back again among the people, where he remained for some time in sensible. Now, the Norwegians are very fond of witnessing feats of strength, and the, clergyman in question was ever afterwards much esteemed. A remarkable feat was per formed by a soldier, a Ilallingdal man, in the garrison at Christiana. A brother soldier held up his cup as high in the air as ho could, aud the Ilallingdal man taking a sudden leap knocked the cap out of the hand of the other with liis light foot. The men of Ilallingdal are said to have a strange and barbarous custom when in drink. When well primed with iinket, they draw llieir short knives, and pointing them to each other, they inquire in an amicable way, “Row far will you go ?” A certain portion THE DAILY, EVEKINfI ffIU.T.KTIN —PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 19,1867. of each knife is then measured off on each side, and the remainder of the blade is care fully bound round with cloth, so that the knives cannot penetrate beyond a certain dis tance. All present then set to work and stab and slash each other in all directions. Some times these encounters end fatally, but a little blood-letting does none of the parties any harm. It may be asked if these strange combats arise from a natural taste for shedding blood. It is said not to be so, but the custom has been handed down from father to son for many generations, and that, any Hallingdal man who refused to - fight when challenged would be branded as a coward. Here is another anecdote: Two English travelers were making an excursion through Norwegian Lapland, accompanied by a Lapp guide; it was summer time, and the day was extremely hot and oppressive; so, having to' make their way over some high mountains, they sat down on a good-sized stone to rest. The Lapp guide stood at a respectful distance, but being inquisitive, as his people generally are, he kept his eyes firmly fixed, on the Englishmen ta observe what they were doing. One of the travelers happened to wear a wig, and wishing to cool his head he removed it, as well as his hat. On seeing this, to him, extraordinary proceeding, the Lapp stood for a moment spell-bound—he had never seen such a thing as a wig before. He then beat his hands on his breast, gave a most unearthly howl, and subsided into silence. He made no remark', and the tra velers proceeded on their way; but the Lapp could not be persuaded on any account to go near the Englishman who wore a wig. Religious Persecution in England. A dissenter, named Forstee, is in jail at Tantan, 'Somersetshire, -for the crime of having refused to pay a church rate of a few shillings. He was sued in the Bishops’ Court, and condemned to pay costs amounting to more than .£147. As he was too poor to pay this sum, his property, at last accounts, was soon to be sold. He will be left without a penny, a warning to all other dissenters to let the Establishment pick their pockets without making any foolish resistance. The second case is that of one Job Smee ton, tenant farmer at Sibbertoff, Northampton shire. He voted against the imposition, in a double sense, of a church rate, refused to pay his quota, and was notified by the agent of his landlord, the honorable F. W. C. Villiers, to vacate his farm. In a manly letter to Mr. Villiers, Mr. Smeeton says : “I am the oldest tenant upon your estate in this neighborhood, myself and my father having occupied some part of it for upwards of sixty years. We have also, although non comformists, been recently solicited to con tribute towards the restoration of the parish church’, and have cheerfully complied. I should therefore have thought that an English.. gentleman, especially one bearing the name of Villiers, would have hesitated before adopting so extreme and peremptory a pro ceeding. Similar acts on the part of church men, both clerical and lay, in this neighbor hood have already attracted some public attention; so I confess to no special surprise at the course you have thought fit to pursue. Your neighbor, Captain Ashby, of Naseby Woolleys, refused a farm to the late Mr. Henry Smeeton simply, solely and avowedly because he was a nonconformist. Even in this village we have seen a little girl turned out of the national school—though the school had been partly built by public money —because the parents of the child, being members of a Baptist church, had not had her christened." * * * “I will not trouble you with the reasons why, as a non conformist,. I object to be compelled to pay for the support of another man’s religion. With those reasons every intelligent English man is already familiar; and large, majorities orthe House of Commons have resolved that such an anomaly shall no longer exist, and 1 that church rates shall be abolished. And I am thankfUl to know that the reformed Par liament will amend some other matters that at present are at issue between churchmen and ourselves. In conclusion, I thank you lor the explicitness of your agent’s note. You will have the satisfaction of being one of the last of English landlords who turned out of his farm a tenant because he refused to pay church rates.” It is to be hoped that Parliament will not disappoint Mr. Smeet®n. Two persons write to the Inverness Cou rier to say that a slight shock of earthquake was felt at Lochbroom on the morning of Tuesday week. “The preceding night,’’says one writer, “was calm and very oppressive. A few seconds before the shock a noise like the approach of a carriage over pavement was heard, increasing eveiy moment until it resembled the rumbling of thunder. The shock which immediately followed shook the • house in which I slept as if a great rock had fallen near it. People who were awakened by the sudden noise and the Rocking of their beds were quite bewildered. Hundreds felt the earthquake in this parish, and it is cu rious to hear the different descriptions given of it; for many were, naturally enough, very much frightened. Articles were thrown down and broken in some of the houses, anil dogs and other animals manifested the greatest alarm. -Stones and broken pieces of rock were falling from the hills and high precipices for days afterwards. The earth quake seems to have rolled on from the southeast. 1 ' The other correspondent says" the shock took place between one and two o’clock in the morning. Several members of his family felt the house shake as if it were wrested from its foundations. He also de scribes the noise which preceded it as like the rumbling of carriages approaching from the southeast. Two female servants who slept in a wing of the house w T ere aroused by the piteous whining of the house dog; and hearing at the same time the rolling sound, one of them got up to see what was the matter. She had scarcely risen when she felt the house' and everything around her shaking and vibrating in a manner that quite alarmed her. After the shock had passed the sky cleared up so much that it was pos sible to see the hour ou a watch. Tlic Ward Brothers, who won the boat race at Springfield last week, went through a severe training for that contest. For several weeks they eat lean mutton and beef, careful always to avoid fatj had no pepper, spices or any con diments in their food, and only a little salt; abjured vinegar and all other acids, as well as tobacco in every form; drank little water at their meals or at any other time, and no stronger liquors, except occasionally a little Scotch ale or claret; took exercise systematic ally, with an especial reference to increasing their muscular power and improving their “wind;” and after every exercise were persis tently “rubbed down,” as a well-attended horse would be. This discipline had attained such complete results that the brothers were able to r,ow six miles with scar«cly a quick ening of the pulse. “Familiar lines.have been rendered in the following style: ‘Anjils .and min’sters of .grace defen dns; ’ ‘dead, fur a duck-it; ’ ‘get thee to a nun’iy; ’ ‘the potint pison; ’ ‘a An Earthquake in Scotland.

The Union League on the Political Situation. The members of the Union League assembled in large numbers at the League House, on Broad street, last evening, fir the purpose of taking action on such, measures as may be deemed necessary in relation to the existing state of na tional affairs. , The meeting was called to order at eight o clock by J. Gillingham Fell, President of the League; and among other business the following resolu tions were read and adopted with great unanlm ity: Whereas. This League was organized for the purpose of sustaining the National Government, and the measures adopted by its authority for (he suppression of the Rebellion, nndol discount enancing by nil proper means and .influences that disloyal spirit which was in sympathy with slavery and treason, and animated all the con ventions and councils of the Democratic party. And. Whereas, That clforts of the Democratic party, now led by a weak and faithless man in the accidental exercise of the Presidential office, to keep alive the spirit of rebellion by a war upon Congress, by the nullification of the laws, by in sidious attacks upon the public credit and by their apparent sympathy with prominent traitors, prove that the work of loyalty ip not yet accom plished, ami admonish' us ol serious dangers to the public peace, which would be greatly en hanced by the success of -that party in .the popular elections now at hand. 1. Therefore, Resolved, That we do most earn estly invoke the loyal citizens of Pennsylvania to a serious consideration of our present political condition, and to the importance of a united and vigorous effort to hasten the reconstruction of the Ufiion, and tranquillize the country by the defeat of the Democratic party and all its candidates at the approaching election. 2. That the laws passed by Congress having for their object the reconstruction of the Union on the basis of liberty and justice to all men, reflecting as they do the loyal sentiment of the country, offer to the people of the South the most favor able terms upon which they can reasonably hope to be reinvested with the rights they voluntarily relinquished, in their mad attempt to destroy the government which conferred .them. ;i. That the public acts of Congress under the Constitution are the supreme laws of the land; that it is no less the duty of the President to see that they are faithfully executed, than it is of the people to obey them; but whethei those laws relate to the reconstruction of the Union or to other subjects, every attempt of the President to frustrate or delay the execution of them is a violation of his trust and an abuse of the power of his office. • 4. Resolved, That impeachment is the sole defence of the people against the incapacity, negligence or perfidy of the Chief Magistrate.— Madison. That with a vipw to the exercise of the power of inipenchnieng the House of Representative* have a right to investigate the conduct of all public officers under the government,aud in such a case the safety of the republic is the supreme law; and the power of the House In pursuit of this object reaches the most secret recesses of the Executive department.— 'James K. Rolk. That the abuse of power conferred upon the President may be as criminal as the usurpation of power which has not been granted, and would justify the House of Representatives in voting an impeachment. —James Buchanan. That a wanton removal of meritorious officers by the President is an abuse of power which sub jects him to impeachment and removal fronS his owu high trust.— Madison ., :>. Resolved, That the prompt and indiscrimi nate pardon of persons duly convicted and sen tenced in the courts of the United States, for counterfeiting the national currency; The attempt to nullify the act passed by Con gress over the Executive veto, for the reconstruc tion of the Union; The suspension of Edwin M: Stanton from the 'office of Secretary of War, the duties of which he had performed not only with fidelity to the country, but with distinguished ability; The removal of General Sheridan, an accom plished and illustrious officer,from his command, at the instance of prominent traitors whom he had offended by his faithful execution of the laws: And the recent'proclamation of amnesty, is sued as we believe without authority, and for the purpose of restoring to influence and power per sons who incited the South to rebellion, and who are yet under an oath of allegiance to a govern ment unknown to the Constitution, which they hope to re-establish, are acts which constitute jirima facie such abuses and usurpations of power, as to demand the impeachment and trial of the offender, in . order that the Constitution may be vindicated and the National Government preserved in its integrity. . (1. That in the present alarming crisis of the country, we conceive it to be our duty to use all proper meaiiß to exclude the political influence, and patronage of the Democratic party from all offices within the gift ol the people; and to that end we appeal to the loyal citizens of Philadel phia and of the Commonwealth to attend the polls at the approaching election, and cast their votes for the candidates presented by the Repub lican nominating conventions. 7. Resolved, That we do most especially, and earnestly recommend the election of Henry W. Williams, of Pittsburgh, to the bench of the Supreme Court, as a learned and accomplished jurist and a truly upright and loyal citizen., Aud in like manner we recommend to our fel low-citizens of Philadelphia the election of M. Russell Thayer as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas; assuring them that in Mr. Thayer they have a candidate of the highest legal ability and of the purest character, and one whose loyalty is inborn and above suspicion. 8. That a committee of fifty members of the League be appointed by the Chairman of this meeting to curry into effect the sixth of these re solutions. Philadelphia Politicians at the White House. The Washington despatch of the Inquirer says: Samuel J. Randall, Wm. McCandlcss, Bamuel Josephs, Joseph Megary and John Maginuis, leading Democratic politicians' of Philadelphia, arrived here this morning, for the purpose of urging upon the President and Heads of Depart ments the importance of assisting the Democra tic party at the coming election. The party waited on President Johnson, and were intro duced by Mr. Randall. What transpired there no one outside of their number knows. They afterwards called on Secretary Welles, at the Navy Department, to induce him to order repairs to be commenced upon the seven vessels of war which are now Baid to be lying at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, and which, they think, need repairs about this time. It is under stood that Secretary Welles gave them his warmest sympathies m the cause in which they were laboring, but did not indicate positively what he would do in the matter. They also visited Secretary McCulloch at the Treasury Department, where they presented their claims to the worthy Secretary, who re ceived them in his usual bland style, but what encouragement he gave is not known. It is gen erally thought that they did not get much com fort. They afterwards visited Mr. Harlan, Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue, on mysteri ous - and important business relative -to that branch of the Treasury Department. The visit of these gentlemen has caused much speculation, but apart from the appeal for aid from the Navy Department, it is understood that their visit to tho Treasury Department was in relation to filling the places ot five Revenue In spectors, four of whom have just been dismissed upon the recommendation of the Internal Reve nue Board of Philadelphia; two op account of inilllcieney, one upon the charge of extorting money illegally, one for accepting bribes, and one on account of his political opinions. - The latter was Gavin 11. Woodward, Revenue Inspector, who was dismissed to-day, itis alleged, because he was a delegate to the Republican City Convention, at which resolutions were passed de nouncing President Johnson. Tho names of the other parties, for obvious reasons, are not given. • The delegation to-day, it is understood, pre sented to Secretary McCulloch the lists of persons of their political faith to fill these positions, men of undoubted integrity, in whose hearts there is no guilt, and who nre> besides, good Democrats. What action the Secretary will take is not known, bfit it is thought he will wait until Commissioner Rollins returns before filling any of tho vacancies; qud it is even said they may not bo filled at all,as it is thought the government can do without them and save money: Ihc Military in flic Department oi the The following is a corrected roster of troops serving in the Department of tho East, Major General Geo.
