As we propose devaing several articles fo this

Indicate what its contents are: In the first plate,
then, the first 203 pages are oeoupled with "The Ile
eord of the Court at Upland, in Pennsylvania, iron
1076 to 1681." This is well edited by Mr. Edward
Armstrong, a member of the Society. Of course,
every Pennsylvanian knows that what he now calls
Chester was formerly known as Upland. Eo called

sylvanla, of which - we are so justly proud, having
that been "planted" (like oysters in Absecoin
Bay) as early as 1638. The English beat the
Swedes out of Upland, where the Dutch had re
cognised the Court established by the Swed Os.
The English also recognised it. In Mrs book we
have the'reoord of Upland Court, " In Delowar
River," from 14th of November,l676, to June 21st,
1681, when our State was transferred to Penn.
Theme Rennie occupy two-fifths of the.volume.
What follows is, to our simple taste, a great deal
better. It Is "The Military Journal of Major
Ebenezer Denny, an officer in the Revolutionary
and Indian Wars," with an Introductory Memoir,
by William 11. Denny. We are bound-to codas
that this biography throws the Military Journal
into the shade. In truth, any one would desire,
when he dies, if his life be worth taking-, that some
descendant as sensible as W. 11. D., now upon earth,
may do It. There is a heartiness in Ma' writing
which we admire. Ile tolls us, in five lines, what
many other writers would wearily elaborate into
ten. Here are two exquisite sentences which a
feeble word•spinner would have elaborated into two
pages, at least : " It Is among the traditions of the
'family (of Denny) at Carlisle, that as their rela
tive rode in the rear of the retreating army, a wo
man caught his horse by its long tail, and held on,
although threatened with hoof and sword. She
was rewarded for her confidence in his generosity
by being taken up behind, and carried in safety to
Port Jefferson." This was at the close of St. Clair's
disastrous campaign ; Incidents like these are the
very salt of Life. Finally, this bravo and good
Denny settled down in Pittsburg, where he snoomte
fully engaged in mercantile life, and, in 1818, was
elected the first Mayor. He died in July, 1822, in
the sixty-first year of his age. We go no farther,
now, than to say that the book is well illustrated.
In addition, there is a copious Indian vocabulary
and an excellent Index. It is a great consolation
to us that, compared with others, the Ilistorioal
Society of Pennsylvania cannot justly be called a
sorer allots. She speaks--and very effectively.
MARSH ON TUE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Mr. George P. Marsh, one of the most erudite
philologists in this country, delivered a highly in
teresting and instructive course of rest-graduate
Lectures on the English Langunice_in
conege, sirriew York; in the autumn and winter
of 1858-1859. The scanty reports of this course in
the local papers were extensively *opted and read
all over the Union. These Lectures have been
collected into as **taro volume, (pp. 702,) of
which Mr. Charles Scribner, of New York, ls the
publisher. Mr. Marsh's great acquaintance with
the Northern languages of Europe, his general
scholarship, and his familiarity with English lite
rature have united to make him " the right man
in the right place," to speak informingly upon the
history and character of that mother-tongue
which, happily, is as much American as it is
English. Ills Lectures are intended for the eelf
culture of the many, and he treats English as a
skilful demonstrator would treat a subject—taking
of tissue, mussle,,perve, veins, arteries, until the
skeleton Is uncovered. lie illustrates his subject,
oopionsly, with apposite quotations from the earlier
English authors—thus going bank to the fountain
head dour common Merit ure. He treats, also, of the
grammatical construction of the language. Yet,
with all this information, he provides entertain.
men!. The chapters upon theme are of this class,
and even more so those on Alliteration, Line•
rhyme, and Assonance, au i upon the Corruptions
of Language. The mock 1.u.; chapter, devoted to
the English Language in America, is a quiet vindl
oation of the spoken and written tongue of this
country. Upon our pronunciation Mr. Marsh is de
aided—while he shows that we do not Improperly
use and omit the h, and confound the letters v and
ea, as the English do, he denounces the drawling
and clipping in which we variously indulge, and
denounoes the affectation, wearing also in Eng
land, of calling the municipal rule of action the
lor, and yet styling tho passage from one room to
another a float Of course, be condemns gopher,
Mariar, dramar, and such barbarisms. By the
way, though Mr. Marsh condemns the use of many
words not yet placed in the dictionaries, tut
generally adopted, he says of telegram, which we
of The Press had COMO small share in introduoirg,
that it "'will maintain its place, for reasons of ob
vious convenience; and in spite of the objections
of some Hellenists against it as an anomalous
formation, the English ear is too familiar with
Greek compound. of the same element to fled this
word repugnant to our own principles of etymo
logy." It Is to be regretted that Mr. Marsh did
not protest against the American use of the word
illy. It Is not to be found In the Imperial Die-
tionary. "Rarely used by good writers" is Ms
ceetar's commentary upon It, and Webster erou
more decisively describes it as "a word sometimes
used, though Improperly, for ill." We tako leave
of Mr. Marsh, thanking him for Rio information
ho boo so largely' given to us. Ho is sure of a
large circle of readers, and bis book may be ad
vantageously studied, in connootion with Bartlett's
"Dictionary of Americanisms" and the "Glos
sary of Supposed Americanisms," by our towns
man, Dr. Alfred L. Elwyn, of this city.
A GERMAN NOVEL
To Mr, F. Laneldt, foreign library, 1323 Chest.
nut street, we are indebted for a Gorman novel.
michol: A Story of a Gorman of the present
time," written by Johannes Schorr, and published
by L. Hauser, New York. As Scherr is a native
of Wurtemborg, where ho was a member of the
Legislature iu1843 and 1349, it is natural that his
Action /timid treat of the Swabian people, their
manners, and their way of life. As he followed
his elder brother, Thomas lanaelue &herr, Into
Switzerland, some years ago, his introduction of
Swiss scenes and persons may also be accounted
for. "Michel," literally a tale of German do•
mastic , life, is related in the form of an autobiogra
phy. The hero, only son of the intendant, or agent,
of a Swabian nobleman. is brought up for the
church, but, while at the University, is recalled
home to witness his mother's death, and to receive
her permission to abandon religious for secular life.
Accordingly, ho goes into the world. On hls fa
ther's death, Michel setUes his small fortune upon
his only sister, and next id found assisting
in the conduct of a small store in a town
in Switzerland. Thence he goes into the em.
ployment of a banker, who has a ban!some
daughter, by no means Indisposed to a union
with Miobel, Tho course of true lovo seldom
runs smooth, as all the world knows, and M
(Mel has what Sam Weller would call " a priory
'taohment " for leolde, the daughter of the noble.
man, in whose employment his own father bad
previously been. Michel's Oster is in love with
Isolde's brother, who eventually proves unworthy,
whereupon the young lady goes to a nunntry. In
the end, Michel espouses feeble, and ania. the
banker's daughter, conquering her penchant for
Miehel, sensibly marries her father's head elok.
This is a meagre outline of a story which has
greatly interested us; but its merit consists not eo
mush in the novelty and variety of its Incidents,
aain the delineation of character, and the natural
nese of the dialogue. Every person in this novel
is individualised, and though some parts aregrave
and thoughtful, there le also a good deal of quiet
humor in it. A better story of Nome-life in tier.
many we have not mot fur a long time. It would
bear translation as well as most of Miss Bremer's
novels, and, indeed, belongs to her school.

WasntxGroN, D. C., March 6, IMO
A oastud visitor to this city will Lid much to
occupy and Interest him, if his objeot be either to
acquire an somata notion of its extent and pro
- or to recreate his fairy by a survey of I}s
local and surrounding beauties. To the writer of
this there is a novelty as well as beauty in ma"
of the restores of the piece, whielt cannot bet
leave something more than a transient impression
upon the mind.
The first objects of attraction, with most rtaitere,'
will be the splendid and massive public building,
eroded and in progress towards completion, for
the accommodation of the llouses of Congress, and
the several departments of the Government.
These Imposing edifices meet the eye in every 0-
reotion, and with their deeply imbedded founda
tions and towering impereiructures, convey with
unmistakable distinctness, the impression that,
however factions and fanatical politicians may
treasonably clamor about the dissolution of the
Union, the projectors of these works felt perfect
reliance in the permanency of our national con
federacy when they laid their deep foundation,.
Years mast elapse ere the finishing stroke can be
given to the Capitol and other public buildings now
under way, but when that period shall arrive, oqr
country will be able te boast of a series of public
edifices for the accommodation of her Legislatnr
and Governmental departments, equal in extent
and magnificence to those of perhaps any attar
nation.
Nest, in ' , point of interest, is the width of her
streets and ILTBllltte, and the mathematical reg -
larity with which they intersect each other. For
a while the limiter-may be puszled to eraderstand -

numerically designated streets, and the coarse if

Oa wm -auve•auanearer ; - brit a little, attention and
observation will soon make these familiar to his
mind, and he will then be able to make his way
through them to any given point with the same
precision that he would thread the rectangular
streets of our own good City of Brotherly Lori.
In connection with this subject I remark that rip
city with which I am familiar so abounds with ea
tensive and delightful promenades, and whose en
virons furnish each an endless variety of pictu
resque routes for carriage or equestrian exereisett
Then there are the enclosed public grounds around
the Capitol and the White house, which are easy
of arum, and which will soon be Invested with all
the varied loveliness which the " vernal season of
the year" imparts, in richest profusion, in this ge,
nial climate.
I would note, in passing, the works of art which
occupy the interior and surround the exterior of
the Capitol. These naturally di the attention of
most 'Craters ; and, although presenting little that
deserves to rank with the highest order of artistic
excellence, they give promise of better things to
come, and will amply repay a canary examination
by the mere amateur.
The White Rouse Is now encumbered with masses
of granite strewed in its vicinity, which is to be
used in the extension of the Treasury weddings;
and, judging from this, and a distant observation
of Its surroundings, I fancy the ornamental pertlone
of the grounds aro not so attractive as in years gone
by. Directly across the Pennsylvania avenue, and
north of the White House, lies Lafayette Squire,
a largo and beautiful enclosure, tiutefally laid out,
and liberally supplied with trees, ehrubbery, and
flowers. In Its centre stands Mills' bronze eques
trian statue of General Andrew Jackson, elevated
upon *massive block of granite. 7ha attitude of
the horse and rider Is spirited, and glees a Just
idea of the perfect development of the man, as well
es the animal. I am no °ride in these matters, but

of Washington, by the same artist, which was
inanorated with so much pomp and ceremony on

This visit to the statue of Jackson by one who
knew and venerated the man, and who felt that be
could In some degree appreciate the pure and
lofty impulses of his great fool, was suggestive of
grate thought, and naturally led to the institution
of a comparison between him and the present oc
cupant of the White House. Bat how to frame a
comparison where all is melancholy contra,: it
above my skill; yet no one who contemplates the
characters of the two men will fail to perceive how
great a gulf lies between them. In the one he
will recognise a mind of noble grasp, And an iron
will guided by a high-toned patriotism, which
stimulated him to stand forth, at all times, the
foamless champion of his country's rights, honor,
and Interests. Gloriously did he fulfil his mission,
and his memory is embalmed with Washington's,
in the hearts of crateful and admiring intlllans.
In the other—but it is needless to outline the
character of the "Chief who now commands," as
It's known and read of all men who have bestowed
ordinary attention upon the events of the put
Ores years. What one public act has James Bu
chanan devised or performed, during that period,
which redounds to the honor of his country, or has
tandel to enhance her domestic peace and security'?
Do y. a find it in the mischievous workings of the
Kansan imbroglio; or in the vindictive proscrip.
tion and persecution of old political friends, who
dissented from his ilbatsrrcd policy on that qua
tion—covertly but unrelentingly pursuing them,
even down to the grade of a second-class clerkship,
and causing their extrusion from office, because
they ventured, in temperate language, to express
their dissent from his dctotrines ? I might give In
stances, bat forbear.
But before closing . , and as bearing upon the
matter in hand, I world inquire what great ser
vice did Mr. Iluchanen over perform for his min
try while in the House, or In the Senate, as Secre
tary of State, or as a foreign minister, that emi
nently redounded to her honor or prosperity, or
that would entitle him to occupy a niche In the
Temple of Fame by the side of Clay, Webster, or
Calhoun? In the acquisition of Oregon, while
Secretary of State, he receded from his first posi

loosely defined that we recently carve near being

I have often wondered that moms enterprising in

on the brow of the bill overlooking Montgomery
county and the region round about. It is to near
our city, and so easily reached by railroad and
other facilities that a hotel, to accommodate eeveral
hundred persons, if kept in first-rate style, with
good 'tabling, ten-pin alleys, and other amuse.
menta s eeuld not fail of success, as gentlemen maid
have their families there dating the eummer
months, and attend, if necessary, themselves to
their business in the city every day. The advan
tage of being near their homes, their own physi

delightful drives, near Chestnut Hill, on the ro
mantic Wissahickon, and a neighborhood of some
of the best families in the State ; alto, churches of

Persons of liberal minds would Is apt to suppose
that the Nary Department would be careful, under
the oircumstanses, not to increase an officer's ex
penses without necessity, and that it -mid avoid
cutting down his legal allowances. Bat artier the
present Secretary we have recently beard of an
officer being ordered toPeamecla, on duty, and to
save to the Department the ten cents a mile travel
ling allowance, he is ordered to New York, to take
passage in a coal transport, which may be thirty
to forty days on the voyage. thus taking him from
his family* =oath before his services are required
that month to be spent in idleness at 11014, as a
passenger, to save to the Government seventy. Ain
dollars, which the law allows the attar. We
have also beard of two diem, exchanging statioes.
