Moore, Librarian of the Now York Hiatorleal Society, read a paper before the Society, a etting forth what ho denounced as "the Treason of Charles Leo, Major General in the American Army of the Revolution." Ile is engaged in ' , Memoirs of the Life and Trott. eon of Charles Lee," but deemed the proofs which he possessed too important to be withheld during the time necessary for the preparation of the extended biography. Accordingly, he has brought out his prima fans case against Lee, in a thin 00. tavo, illustrated with two portraits, and fao similes of Lee's "original plan of Treason," with a letter to General Gates, written by Lee, just be fore his capture by the British, in December 1776. The handwriting Is apparently the same in each, Independent of the British endorsement, "Mr. Lee's Plan, 29th March, 1777." And, assuredly, it Lee did write that Plan, addressed to the British commander, and almost miraculously preserved until no*, whop it is Mr. Moore's property by purohaen, the Grand Jury of pnblie opinion, on such evidence, must find the bill of indictment. Lae, a British omoer of long standing, quitted his native country bemuse he was not there promoted , asclotding to what he considered his deserts. He tame to the United States in Ootober, 1773, bought an ea tate in Virginia, and settled there. He wrote and spoke maid of the Colonial cause, became pope. lar, and was made second Major-General under Washington, when the War broke out, being greatly piqued at not being appointed Commander in-Chief. Ho then resigned his British commission of Lieut-Colonel whtoh he had hold to 'that time, and his half-pay. Thence, until his capture by the British while tarrying in the interior of New Jersey, Leo acted as a gallant men, but lent him self to intrigues against Washington, and delayed obeying his orders to (some over and reinforce At last, the British took Lee a prisoner, brought him to New York in January, 1777, and .theated him as a traitor to George 111., and amenable to Britiah military law as a deserter. Finally, it was conceded Cleat he should be treated as a prisoner of war, and on Christmas-day, 1777, was allowed his liberty In Now York city, on parole. In Allay, 1778, his exchange having been effected, Lee re joined the army at Valley Forgo. lie behaved badly at Monmouth ; was sharply reprimanded by Washington, on the battle field, fora shameful and unnecessary retreat; wrote insulting letters to Washington, for which and for misconduot before the enemy, he was suspended from command, by verdict of a Court-martial, which Congress con. firmed, and the public, approved; quitted the army; and died in Philadelphia, October 2d, 1782. While in captivity in New York, General Lee employed much of his time in writing, and was re ported to have been drawing up a plan of motion'. ation. That plan is in Mr. Moore's possession, in Lee's handwriting, and endorsed by Henry Stra chey, who was Secretary to the Royal Commission. era, Lord and Sir William Howe. That plan plain ly betrayed the American cause, and showed, the British bow best to act offensively against it. Nor is this all,—it reads as a volunteered offer, a willing treason. Nay, more—it undoubtedly influenced Rowe's southern movement, which was_ Lee's pro posal. Only, distrusting the double traitor, they adopted his advice only in part, and therefore failed. SATINETS. We have only glanced at the main points of Mr. Moore's most Interesting volume. It is published, in a very handsome manner, by Scribner, of New York. PANTALOON STUFFS. We have received, in advance, proof-sheets of Dr. J. W. Palmer', translation of Michelet's new work "La Femme," which has made even mere excitement in Paris than did his celebrated " L'Amour," of which It is a oonolusion, at any rate, a continuation. It will be published, next week, by Rudd b Carlton, of New York. It is a more readable book than its predecessor, and does not touch upon two aubjeots—adultery and prosti tution—which were eonsidered objectionable in the former volume. "La Femme" consists of All In. troduotion and three Parts. In the Introduction aro discussed the questione Why people do not marry—the Female Operative—the Woman of Let. tars—and No life for Woman without Man. The other parts treat of Education, Woman In the Fa luny, and Woman in Society. All through, Miche• let pleads for Woman, for the amelioration of her condition, for the cultivation of her mind, for her eltuation In life being equalised with that of Man, who, to be sure, does sometimes 111-use her terra bly. Miebelet's comments on education, which Is chiefly the mother's loving duty, are eloquent, thoughtful, and truthful. The nettles of Woman in Society are very much In the French manner• The beet of the book is that which shows Woman in the Family. This is simple, earnest, and very true. It philosophises upon palpable facts. Com paring Michele's "Woman" with his "Love," we give the decided preference to the former. It Is a little lees plain•apoken, but loses nothing by that. The translation of this second book, too, Is at once more faithful and spirited than was that of the first. Over 30.000 copies of " Love" have been sold in this country, and we should not be sur prised at learning that " Woman" has yet u more extended circulation. MRS. UOWE'S "TRIP TO CUBA." Oddly enough, the best recent books upon Cohn, those wbioh show us the people as well as the coun try, have been published by Ticknor k Fields, of Boston. One is "To Cuba and flack," by the younger Dana, author of "Two Years before the Mast;" the other, which has just been issued, Is "A Trip to Cuba," by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. author of " Passion Plowers" and other poetry, A portion of Mrs. Ilowe'm book has appeared In the Atlantic Monthly. Considerable additions are made now, and some new chapters add to Its com pleteness. What snakes the value of this volume, over and above the correotness of its details, is the fine womanly feeling which pervades it. Above all, Mrs. Howe sketches domestic life In Cubans It has never before been exhibited. Men see but the surface of such things. Women take closer and better views. There is one chapter here, upon Cuban slave laws and Institutions, which was to be looked for, its a matter of course, In a volume written by a Boston lady. There are some pretty strong assertions here—particularly one, to the effect that the author sees a future for the Afri can race, educated by the enslavement which must gradually ameliorate, and slowly die out." She says: Wo see that In countries where the black men aro many, and the white few, the white will one day disappear, and theists& govern," and adds that " In South Carolina, for example, the tide of emigration has carried westward the flower of the white population," and that many of the aristocratic familloa there have their mulatto representatives, who bear their names, and " there are oven mulatto representatives of extinct families, who alone keep from oblivion names which were ones thought honorable " Despiti the extrava forme of this parenthetical chapter, Mrs. Howes' " Trip to Cohn" is well worth perusal : its Inoi dents aro not extraordinary, but its descriptions are easy, graphic, and even picturesquo In a few days, Appleton d: Co., of New York, will publish livery peculiar volume, entitled " Dr. Old ham at (I reystones, and his Talk there." Having read the prootahmets, we can any what manner of book It is. Oreystones Is the name of Dr. Oliver Oldham's cottage. The author, denribing it, says: " Tho until() was his daughter Lilly's giving. She has a fancy for bestowing pretty and appro. pride names upon everything. She chose this, however, not because she thought it as pretty as some others, but because it was the most appro priate ono she could think of.

" Oreystones had undergone some alterations since the Oldhams came there. They found the cottage quite small, and the rooms, with the ex ception of the one they set 'apart for the dining room, were not only of very tiny dimensions, but there were not enough of them for the accoramo dation of .the family; so that the Doctor bad to set immediabily about enlarging his new home.

Blue the immortal "Doctor" of Southey's, there has been nothing, in the same desultory manner, so good as "Doctor Oldham at Oreystones." lie talks of a vast number of subjects, shifting— "From grave to say, from lively to severs," and talks sensibly, and improvlngly, upon each. A hint is given that if it sucoeed, the author may find more to say about the Doctor, and more of his talk to sat down. It is certain to be liked, if there be appreciative judgment among the reading pub lic, anti therefore, the sootier Doctor Oldham's friend resumes Lis Boswelliziog, the better for all parties. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Disunion Saddled on the Pulpit. After all the charges that have been made against the people of the North of fostering sentiments hostile to the Union, it is not surprising that the pulpit and religious press should coals in for their share of abuse. Nor is it at all remarkable that this charge should emanate from the 'Tory class it Is aiming to assail. The following, from the Tansies. see Baptist, will explain our meaning. The wri ter says: " In our feeble judgment, the pulpits and the religions papers in the North are the prin' ctpal causes of all the agitations North and South upon this subject. They create a morbid fuel clam in the public mind, and they butte their fana tical devotees to arm for insurrection, and snuff the blood of civil war. They prepare the public mind North to be operated upon by all political dema gogue' who could otherwise do nothing." The dubious compliment is here paid of making the pulpit and the religious press—in other words, the ministers of the Gospel north of Mason and Dixon's line—a sort of John the Baptist to pave the way for political demagogues! That this charge is as unjust no it le reckless in Its terms, will be seen at a glance. Never, since we have been a free people, hag the pulpit of Philadelphia resounded with so many bold, conservative Gospel appeals in behalf of the rights of our brethren of the South, and the duty of all good chime to cherish by their every act the perpetuation of our glorious Union, as within the past three months. If there have been any inflammatory appeals of an opposite character they have been • con temptible exception, and not the rale. We hope the lucubrating of the Tennessee Baptist belong to the some unpopular category. What we have said of the Pulpit of Philadelphia—and the same, we believe, might be said of the North generally—applies with equal forge to her religion' press, from which the tincture of Abolitionism was never more effectually excluded than at the pre sant time. But this is, after all, but smother non- Intercourse dodge; for in the same article the edi tor, in emulation of his brother of the Southern Confederacy, cells upon the people of his section to decide whether they will continue to sustain certain religious papers of the North. We shall probably next see this "child of light," pro thing by the superior wisdom of his brother of the world, publishing another "White and Black list" of Northern religions papers, which will probably be followed (should the enterprise pay) With a list of our churches, with their complexions arranged in inch • manner as not to mislead the unwary into hoterodoxieel surroundings in select ing places of worship. Efforts of this character are suiAciently diabolical In such unprincipled rene gades as the editor of the Southern Confederacy, but their introduction into religions journalism would be still more reprehensible; and we are glad to see, therefore, that, instead of this sec- Gomel feeling really existing, there never wee a more friendly state of things between the Church North and South than at the present moment. In proof of this we may state that, with in a very brief period, several of our chnreheibave called to their pulpits gentlemen from the South Rev. Henry A. Wise, rector of St. Mary's Church, West Philadelphia, Rev. James Brooke, of the Ad vent, and Rev. hterriwether Winston, pastor of the Fifth Baptiet Church, are instances in point. In addition to these, a number of standing cells are now open for acceptance. As late as Monday of the present week, tho First Baptist Church, Brooklyn, by unanimous vote, extended a call to the Rev. Dr. Burrows, of Richmond, Va., to be come their pastor. And now, In view of all the cireumstances, what must we think of the man who would by his venal pen poison the bond which unites all mho are Indy Christians in love all over our country, from the remotest East to the most distant South and the sands of the Pacific , What? Why, that if he assumes to be a Christian teacher, in any capacity, he has most egregiously mistaken his calling, and should at once, from setting himself up as a leader, bide his head among the demagogues for whose welfare he seems to bo so deeply concerned. ItEV. JOHN LXVIRPRII, D. D., EDITOR OP rue PR es aTT entAN.—A Philadelphia correspondent of the Bridgeton Chronicle, under date of January 31st, pays the following tribute to Dr. John Ley burn, of this city. Dr. L. is the chief writing edi tor of the Old-School Presbyterian paper here—a post which he fills with marked ability and great aceeptanoo to his readers, and ranks among the most gilled and popular of our pulpit orators. The chief excellence of the following complimentary paragraph is that it Is well deserved : " Dr. Leyburn has been a resident of this city for many years, occupying an office as secretary for one of the boards of his church until ghost eight years ago, when he became associate editor and proprietor of The Pre.bytereate, the highly respectable organ of the Old School. It seems to um he has mistaken his calling here ; not that he has not fair qualifications for an editor's chair, but that he is pre-eminently qualified for the preach ing of the Gospel. Be often preaches, howeier. and has been heard to say that be prefers so doing at tenet once a week. His sermons are almost Invariably without notes, and it is as an extempore preacher that he claims especial nodes. With a voice of silver tone, he unites • readiness and fluency of delivery that is seldom if ever sur passed. Language pours itself forth In a eon. tinuous stream. Thera is a nonchidanoe about hie style often approaching the common and familiar, but its simplicity is perfectly natural. Ills position as en editor affords him many advantages for acquiring knowledge. His memory is a well-filled storehouse, from which be may at ell times dratf at sight, whether it be a fact of history, a gem of poetry, an inference, or - an aphorism. For many years he labored as an evan gelist in the more Southern States, amongst a pace• pie of far less intelligence than now wait upon his ministrations. Here he must have acquired that happy faculty for extemporaneous speaking in which he excels. The Rev. Dr. Tyng, of New York, well known as one of the eide't extempore preachers in the land, ascribes his succ ess to his having devoted the early years of his ministry to missionary labor among the slaves of the South " Dr. Leyburu is small denture and of frame, but has a large and well.developed brain. His forehead is high and prominent. indicating a well-conditioned state of the reflective organs. His propensity for witty remark is great, but always within the bounds of strict decorum. " I have said that Dr. Leyburn often preaches, although he hes no settled charge. To this I be lieve that he is moved by a sincere desire to do good, for his services are tendered without money and without price, and where they are most needed." PREACHING TO THE FIREMEN —We learn that in several of the fire companies' hells, where stated religious meetings have been held during the last two years, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, preaching services are be ing introduced as often as convenient. This course le highly commendable, and it is certainly much much more in harmony with the licapal plan to preach the Word to the unbelieving, before urging them to meet together to call upon llim in prayer in whom they do not believe We may state, in this connection, that the Rev. T. J. Shepherd, pastor of the Buttonwood-street Presbyterian Church, will preach in the hall of the United States Engine Company, corner of Wood and Crown IGreoln, to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon, at 4 o'clock Mr. Shepherd is a faithful and effee• ties minister, end will doubtless give hie hearers a discourse worthy of the cause and the occasion.

There is no doubt that the lobby, and certain members of both booms, are pressing the bill with pertioacity, in expectation of being bought off at high figures.
