"WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1869. : John Weal. , So many years iaavo; elapsod since Jons Neai, o Word Moro,ifalod(!ed tor the Reasoning and Thought* ful among Unbelievers.” Jo its, .Neal’s,' qcw work, which may ho as not novel, written by a man of genius, who has lived much end- thought deeply in anil out of society, is published by TiCKNOn. fi Fielbs, of Boston, and bails tho title of « True Woman hood " • It is a serious, rather,than a religious story, , of tho ,tipe of tho Panic of. 1857-8, whon there suddenly and slmultaneousiy arose, throughout tint length and breadth of this country, what as a Religious Re vival, , Mr. Nf-ae .places his scene in Now York, at this nxcltlng ,orap and tho revival feeling greatly .pervades it., Yot it is not what one can actually cull a religious novel. Thai is a sort of hybrid thing, between a sermon And p story, whilo this is truly a tale whose incidents .might , have occurred in our own time, and arc extremely real. Indeed, one of them, at least, is actual flesh and blood, for Jlr* Talmadge, who was ligad of the New York police iu 1857-8, is boldly an|l bodily introduced—Mr. Is'J.MI., how-cver, dignifying hiig, after tho fashion of tho New York press,.(Which loves titles ns dearly ns Ton Mookh lpvod a Lord,) with tho appclla .tiomof General Tai.madoe,” though, liko JlicbaolOasa'o, lm “never ret a squadron in tho field,” because lio. was General Sitperin tendont of Police. 011 tho same ground, 110 might spcak.df the Attorney General of tho Unjted Stated as “ General Black.” ■ , However, Sir.- Neal, has written one of the best stories of .the day, and lias exhibited true womanhood-in,the persons of tnoro thnu one of, his fomnlo characters. Truo manhood, .ajso, has ho, shown os—William Bayard, tlm Quaker,, Major pciidlcton, Mr, Fay, tho law i'bf, and Arthur Maynard, aro true men, each and all. . f Ro fortunes of ono family run -through tho -book, and aro intensely, yot not .excitingly, interesting, Thera is a trial, in Adj Tow York Court of law, for forgery, running through several of thp concluding chapters, which for t patsemblance and reality beats any previous Imaginative attempt in that lino. Wo nolico ono slight slip in it: in page 429 a lawyer is made to say, in 1858, that forgery was a capital offence in England. Tho fact is sjhat by. statute H George iv, and I William •iv, c. 60, all the statutes making forgery a icapltal oflenco wore repealed, as Mr. Neal has forgotten, but will find stated in Sbars wood’a BJackstone, Book Ir. p. 250—an au thority which every lawyer will admit. , Mr. NealJu an eameatpreface, says Hint 110 Jias written A now story, at the suggestions of pressing literary friends,rather than tevise tho productions of his earlier manhood. Yet, assuredly the time will' come when hjsjtkJrkA and eon " mem, TieSdersot the pre sent generation, who havo literally sprung up since Jon*NxiL was q popular and.productive writor, may thank us for telling them some thing about his literary career. To many of them lio is almost a myth: others almost think him as dead ns Ciumcs Buookuen Bacw.v, (a handsome edition of whoso novpjs, in six vo lumes,lms lately been pubiisited by M. Polook, in this city, which must be noticed in extenso;) or as completely isolated from tho living race of literary men by advanced years as separated old Sam Rogers a long time boioro Ills death. Tho fact is, John Neal was born in the sarno year with Jahed Sparks, Prolessor Ldwaßitj Romssos, Edward Everett, and William Cullen Bryant. In other words, ho is sixty six years old, as each of those is, and no mora. But 110 has been comparatively out of tho lite rary world—so long out, that wo do not find his name nor tho title of any one of his works in Taubnek’s Biographical Guido to American Lilcrature, which is a classed list of books published in this country during the last forty years. It is truo that his first novel, called “ Keep Cool,” appeared forty-two yoars ago, but his last, “ Rachel Dyer,” appeared in 1881, soon alter which ho quitted letters for law, and retired into forensic practice at Poitland, where 110 was born, and where ho still resides. Materials for a literary sketch of Neal aro abundant. In a.serins of articles upou Ame rican writers, which ran through lllachcood’s Magazine iu lb2L-i!o, Mr. Neal freely criti cised Ids own productions, and gave aoitio free and-easy autobiographical particulars, which are amusing and candid to a degreo. lu Dcycjcinck’b Cyclopaedia of American Litera ture, there is a good account of Neal*& lito rary career, And extracts from his writings. Lastly, in tho forthcoming second and con cluding volume of Alliuonc’b Dictionary of English Literature, there will ho an article ipon Joint Neal, for a proof of which wo aro indebted to Child*! & Fetuhsos, tho publinh crs. From these various ami reliable sources wobha'llicro write a sketch of Mr. Neal’s authorship. Ho was 41'Quaker by bii th, and, like many other eminent men, was wholly self-educated. Ue attempted to live by coinmorctat pursuits, ibis I'artuor being Picitroxx, tho poet,) but that did not answer; so ho studied law, mean- u-hilo supporting himself by his pen, and also studying various languages—Latin, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, &c. His hist burst into literature was as ft critic 5 his first published production, dashed oil in tour day?, was a reviow of all tho pootrv oi Lin'd Byroh, up to tho Third Canto ot Childo Harold, then just published. This was early in 1817. The urticlo, long enough to mako a small volume, was published, month a tier month, in a Baltimore magazine, called The Portico. In 1817, appeared Neal’s first novel, <* Keep Cool,” which, lu tho Blackwoodnotico 'of himself,ho candidly describes as « A paltry, contemptible uffair \ my second offering to the public, my first in tho shape of ft book. • * * Much to tho credit of my country,«Keep Cool’ is forgotten; or, where it is known at all, it is lookod upon ns a disgrace to her literature— perhaps to mysolf. lam glad of it.” Next came “Tho Battle of Niagara,” a poem of 3,000 lines in heroic verse, published under the auctortol com de plume of John O’Cataract. Mr. Neal's own name was on the title-pago of the second edition, in 1810. At tho same timo appeared “ Goldan, tho Maniac Harper,” a narrative poem, with tho hcmio in Switzerland, ond minor poems. Of this poetic out-gush Ncal, solf-crillc, saya: a Works abounding throughout in absurdity, intemperance, alfoctation, extravagance—with continual but involuntary imitation 2 yet, nevertheless, containing altogether more sin cere poetry—more exalted, original, pure, bold, poetry—than all tho works of all tho other authors that have ever appeared In- America. A volume could be collected out of the whole'which would contain as much great poetry as any single volume of this ago. A few passages aro equal to any poetry that evor was written —to my knowledge.

Iu England, Neal wrote “Brother Jon athan,” published in London about 1827. Re turning to Portland, in that year, lie com menced a weekly paper called The Yankee, which ho soon removed to Boston, where It became merged into tho New England Galaxy. Back again to Portland, where, in 1528, Mr. Neal published “ Rachel Dyer”—a story o! tlie Salem witchcraft—originally written for Blackwood, accepted, paid for, and withdrawn. In 18S0, “ Authorship, by a New Englandef | over tho Sea.” Finally, in 1831, two more novels, “The Down Easters” and “ Ruth j Eider.” j dVliilo in England, Mr. Neal contributed to other leading periodicals than Bl.icktrood, and, Mr. Aluiionk tolls us, ho lived for some time with Jcremt Bentimm, of whom ho wrote a Memoir, and translated from tho French of Dumont tho famous utilitarian’s Principles of Legislation.

The Reoabllotns are urging the ejection cf Hr. Ordyke, for mayor; not that they expect to eUot hire, but because they hope to draw eff sufficiently from tbe Tammany nominations to defeat Mr. Uavemcyer and elect Fernando Wood. The point i< to beat Tammany, to disorganise the* regular Democratic orgsolntioa, and tie# to Introduce elements of discord into the Charleston Convention. They argue that Mr. Wood!* in case of success will fill up his delegation to the National Conven tion, present himself and forces, knock at the door and demand admission, on the ground that he re presents the true Democracy; that the nominees of Tammany were FreeaoUers in ’4B and Fremont* era in *sB, and if he and Ms friends are not ad mitted and recognised that Tammany wUf again be beaten, and the election of a Democratic President placed to Imminent jeopardy in iSfiO. Should Mr. Wood succeed io Ms present canvtis, it will give him a commanding position in the approaching national con’est. Of coarse, the Republicans would much rather see Mm \n;the mayor’s chair, a# the head of a eucce&fn! rebellion, than Mr. Hav«meyer,or the bast man in Christendom.
