Buncrofl, the Historian.*
It is not too much to say that George Banr
crolt is qualified, by his acquirements, orgaui
zation, opportunUies, and antocedcnls, ’to
the historian of his native tand j: we mlght say
betltr qualified than any othoit man; 80/Ett
just published the eighth volnrte of hi* Hlstoiy
of .the United States, and, cousiderijag that
the first appeared twofify-aix years ago, .■'V
plausible doubt has been entertained whether
he, would live to complete hlk magnum opus.
With God’s blessing, thefe is every, prospect
that he may, and see it passing through many
editions, universally recognized, abroad as
well as at homo, aB the history of this country.’
For, though ’ Mr. Bancroft has bQog jk?hi( snd
so eminently, before the public, he iaAet an
old man. He will not complete his aistieth;
year until next October. . .
Properly to describe the charaeteristics of
his great work, It is necessary to say how Le,
has prepared himself for it. Under hls fatlier,
« a scholar and a ripe one,” Bancroft
obtaineil tho elements. of a go<w'.,edacatiqn,.
and,’After having passed 11
one of the best priyato' schools
sblro.graduatoil withdls’tiQclionwthd.iUpl-i
versity of Cambridge,- before he -wi* seveh--
teen. Thence ho went .to
died at Gottingen for two yearn, going
a Wide and deep course of Va'rfedtMgigUkg.'
In 1820, in his twentieth year,
degreo of Doctor of Philosophy atv-Gottin
gen. Ho next weiit to Barlin,
and earnest stdilent. He
oyer the Continent of Europe,’;wef associ
ating with the moßt distinguished men ii> e4ch
principal city. Bo concluded his'tour by
travelling through England, and returned to
.the United States, sit the age o£lsr,enty-two|
perhaps the best-informed mab'of/his age—in
literature and general Knowledge—whom this
country has yet produced.
His' father, a clergyman, dOstined him tor
the church, and Dignity wat).Snthß wi4e;circle
of his studies. Soon after his return homo,,
he. accepted the appointment of Tntor of
Gyeek at Harvard College, whlchhehcld for h ;
year. In 1828, In connection,with Dr. Cogs-'
well, (now of the Asior Library, New York,)
be established a school at Northampton, Maas.
He devoted part of such {elsura as he had to
composition, contribatih| to leading periodi
cals, putting the Germhn pdeta into English
verse, aqd translating: jfCerefi’s <cpoiitica;of
Ancient Grcecp.” , He shems to. have wholly,
abandoned ail idea of. baaoming a-oJatgyßjaU
before 1826,’ when hC made » puhßd : decora
tion, in au orafion dcliyered at NorlhamVton,
of his .adhesion to baaad Democracy and
Popular Sovereignty; W time ho
conceived the Idea^ot t^lpgjhisHistory, 1 and’
comwenped csllectlug matterials. /;* ■-; ?
His talents, and elemfeiun'
made Mr. Bancrofta leadtog man In Ae Demo
cratic party, and his received;
the usual From |BBB to
1811, he was Oolle&tof of Bostog^by,appoint
ment from President Van Buren*J*& latfjho
was’the imsucceasM DemocraSy candidate
for the Governorship’of hi* Mass
abliqßetts. In 1845, when Mr. polk becanie
President, bit called -Mr. Bancroft into: hie
Cabinet as Secretary of the ln 16)6,
Mr. Bancroft accepted the Embassy to Jsng
iand, which he-retained until 1819. Since*
then, ho lias filled no public situation.
Three volumes of bis history were, pub
lished when he went to E nglar,d In l&ffi, and
pigeed him, at once,‘among the npks
-most eminent men, of letters in that coaptry.
His diplomatic position placod hlm iipou tertds
members ofthe Britiafa:GoTercmeM,'imt also
with the OpposiUon other* of ritSbf’YlSl’
mark. He bad ample 'opportnuitleif. of ot>-
taiuing Hiformation,'and he availed iiimseif of
them as freely as they were liberally extended.
Lord John Hassell,- then Prime Minister,
placed at his disposal, for perusal and extracts,
ail the minutes, correspondence, other Tccords
of tha Treasnry-j the heads of the Colonial,
loreign, and homo departments, behaved with
equal liberality j the records of tj|o State Pa
per office, containing correspondence and do
cuments the most important; the ljbfary and
mannacripts of tho Museum i and the private
collections of many noble ftmiMes; were a]so
placed at Mr. Bancroft’s disposal. Amo»e
these were the great I.ord'.Ch*Dsam’s papers,
and tha private correspondence of George the
Third with Lord North, his Minister during a
great part ofthe American struggle. In Paris,
and at other European capitals, like facilities
were afforded. Tha resnlta have been shown
in tho latter volumes of the history, hut In
none so completely as in that just published,
now before us. Wo need scarcely add that,
in this country, ali needfnl authorities, in pri
vate or public collections, have bash IVeely
placed at Mr. Bancroft's disposal. The reader
will now perceivo on wlut grounds wa declared
that Mr. Bancreft’s opportunities, well made
use of, as well as his talents, well appliod, bavo
conjoined, to make lilro, par excellence, the his
torian of tho United States.
The first volume appeared in 1834; the
second in 1837; the third in 1840; These
contained the history of the Colonization of
the United States; The fourth volume, in
1642, takes In the events Prom 1148 to 1768;
tho fifth; comprises what happened in 1763-
1706, showing tho actual causes of the disrup
tion, appeared in 1853; the sixth volume,
17CG-74, brings us down to the very verge of
the Revolution; tho sevonth takes in tho
stirring times from tho spring of 1774 to the
Battle of Bunker Hill, (June, 1775,) and its
consequences—this was the opoth when Ame
rica declared her independence. Tho eighth
volume, now present, relates what happened
for American Independence, n«t only In this
country, but in Europe, Iron midsummer,
1775, to the adoption, by Congress, of the Im
mortal Declaration of Independence, written
by Thomas Jeft'erson, in Ju1y,1776.
, Unusual as, it may appear, wo shall hero
copy—becanse it is no puff, but tho simple
truth plainly expressed—the publishers’ an
nouncement of the contents Cf this new vo
lume of Bancroft’s History. They' say:
.“This volume comprises the period extending
from the Battle of Bunker'# Bill to the signing of
the Declaration of Independence, on the accent! of
August, and lnclndea among other tbinga the clone
of Boston, tho negotiation of England with Russia
for troops, written from papers In the Archives of
England end France, Including letters of George
111 ami of the Empress Catharine; the invasion
of Canadrfrcm private letters and papers of Gene
xal Montgomery and-his family; the movements'
of Ftanoe and Spain, from very copious doonments
obtained in Franoe and Madrid; the disinclination
of Tnrgot to the war; the revolution in the French
Cabinet; proceedings of Congress, in part from
unpublished private journals by the members; the
lnsurreotlon In North Carolina, from very full un-
Subllehetl contemporary accounts; the purchase of
erman'troops, from the fullest collection of papers,
with letters of George 111, and the Herman Princes,
Ministers, end Agents; the hesitancy of the Central
Colonies; the movements for taking up Indepen,
dent Governments; the Virginia Declaration of the
Bights of Man; the Battle of Sullivan's Island,
In pan from new materials; the Resolution of
I□dependence; the Declaration of Independence;
the signing of the Declaration.
u line macs of manueertpt. materials collected for
this volume Is very complete and nnfolds the origin
and progress of every important measure, Iroolog
the progress of the Revolution completely, In re
ference to every port ot the United States, and
presenting the subject also in Its relation to the
history of the world, during the period of Its pro
gress.
Thin summary will show the variety i>nd
value of ibis volume’s contents, and also bow
extensive has been Mr. Bancroft's harvest
among the hitherto' almost inaccessible Helds
of political and personal information, not only
in London and Paris, but also In other Euro
sapltals. Much which (s here related
has never boon jn print before, and the man-
ner in which a vast quantity, of Information
has been condensed and {usixj into a highly
interesting and. satisfying narrative, is above
all ordinary pr»i»B

#®bal .sketches are remarkably graphic. It Is
evident that ’he believes in the ■ treason of
.Charles Lee, lately declared to tbe world by
Hr. George H. Moore, of New York. His
sketches of Putnam, Horatio Gates, Mont

Japan and thr Japanese. —A correspondent
of the Ohio Statesman t describing the visit of the
United States ship Preble to Japan, in 1851,says:
“Qn her way to Japan the Preble touched at the
Loo Gltoo Islandr—a kingdom in themselves, yet
dependencies of Japan. -
“ For gentle dignity of manners, superior ad
vancement in the arts, and general intelligenoe,
the Inhabitants of this group are by far the most
interesting unenlightened (?) nation in the Paelfio
Ocean. The Preble j? the American roan-of
war that has ever visited them. As the Preble'
neared the coast of Japan, signal guns were fired
from the prominent headlands, to give warning to
the surrounding country (as it was afterwards aa
: certained) of too approach of a strange ship. As
she entered the bar nor of the Nagasaki, she was
met by a number of large boats which ordered her
off, and attempted to oppose her farther ingress.
But by standing steadily in, with a fine breeze,
thoir ranks were soon broken, and a desirable po
st tlon selected for anchoring.
Fleets of boats, crowded with soldiers, shortly
afterwards began to arrive, and from that Ume
until the Preble left, they poured in, in one inces
sant stream, day and night. Each squadron of
.boats wore banners ornamentod with distinctive
symbols and devioes, wbioh were transferred with
the troops to their euoamptnents on the elevated
.shores surrounding tho anchorage of the Preble.
From these hoigbtawore at Intervals unmasked
batteries of heavy artillery, numbering, in all, up*
wards of sixty guns, which were trained upon the
Vreblo’a decks. It was in the face of this array,
*and with a cordon of boats around the ship, that
negotiations wore carried on for the release of
Amerioan citizens from an ignominious and oruei
imprisonment of near seventeen months. Against
these mou tho Japanese urged not the slightest
charge—except the difficulty they had bad taTbulld
prisons and cages strong enough to hold them—yet
they were treated with inhuman barbarity, and
when first confined were made to tratnple on the
crucifix, befog told at the same Ume that It was the
“Devil of Japan,” and that if they refused to com
ply, Iboir livc« would pay the forfeit.
The demand for their release was at first treated
with a well-affected haughty indifference by the
Japanese authorities; this subsequently gave place
to an evasive diplomacy, but upon being perempto
rily told by Captain Glynn, In language that could
not be mistaken, that they must Immediately de
liver up the men, or means would be found to com
pel them; and that the Amerioan Government al
ways knew bow to recover add protect its citizens
whon Improperly detained or abused by any nation,
they qoJokly changed their tone, and, deprecating
any angor or exolumsal upon the subject, Sara!
JfttsooHQD, the lieutenant Governor, (who had oon
duoled the interviews on behalf of the Japanese)
promised that they should be sent off to the ship In
two days from that timo. This was strictly ful
fill *d.
Skakk Charming.— A gentleman, named G. F.
Wirsen, a Swede by birth, but for several years
JiMt a resident of California, came to Atlanta a
ew days ego, and proposed to the faculty of the
Medical College that he would submit to them
some foots in relation to snake charming that must
forever pnt to rest the idea that suoh a thing as
charming a snake cannot be done. Mr. IV. gave
one or two private exhibitions, and at length he
announced a public exhibition for Saturday last,
BA box containing some twenty-five cnakes, among
which was a rattleso&ko with seven rattles, a large
cotton-mouth moccasin, the copperhead or rattle
snake’s pilot, two different species of the vlfrer,
and several species of the water moccasin. He
first took (be rattlesnake in bis hand, shook his
rallies, played frith him, find coiled him about bis
neck. Bo next took the cotton-month moccasin,
and went through with the same mauteuvret with
him, and so on through with all the others. lie
had at otfe time the whole twenty-five crawling
around his head, shoulders, and neok, playing
with him, touching his whiskers with their
tongnos, and actually kissing him,
lie put them on the floor and tormented them in
a mannor that we should call cruel; butnotoueof
them attempted to bite him, or to show tho slight
est anger,no matter what he did. Be picked them
all up, and put them all into his bosom ! where
they oolled and orawied for five minutes. They
were then returned to their box, every one satis
fied of one thing; that is, his complete control over
them. A smaii stout dog was then brought In,
when Mr. Wirsen took out the rattlesnake, and In
an Instant hie rattles Were in motion, and the
auger of the snake aroused.
Mr. W, held him In bis hand while he bit the
dog twioe. Ho then coiled the rattlesnako around
bis neck, and took out the Cotton-mouth moccasin,
wbifch bit the dogenoe fiercely. From tho moment
the dog was first Ditten, and he appeared ip excel
lent health before, he looked dull, and drooped,
and died in an hopr. This was to aSi the most
satisfactory evidence that the snakes were venom
ous, put perfectly oharmed and innooent in tho
hands of JJr. Wirsen. Tho utmost satisfaction was
manifested by all present.— Atlanta (Qa ) Intelfr'

The Tariff Bilt-wPolitical Economy.
No, XIII,
The euccessire reductions of duty npon fo
reign Imports, .under the'Compromise act of'
1883, reached their level 20 per cent, rates on
the 30th Jjme, 1842. The customs under it
sunk In 1837 to eleven millions, derival from
one hundred and thirteen millions of import*
for consumption, and rose, again in 1819 to
twenty-three millions of revenue, from
hundred and forty-six millions of imports. In
1841 one hundred and fifteen millions of Im
ports yielded fourteen and a half millions <rf
revenue. The customs under the tariff of 1824
varied In four years from twenty millions to
twenty-three millions; under that of 1828 from
twenty-two and a half millions in 1829, to twen
ty-nine millions in 1883. The consumption per
head of foreign imports-from the year 1824 to
1833 rose gradually andsteadily from 45.06 to
$6.23. The consumption per head in 1834 Was
$7.09; in 1836, $8.04; in 1836, $10.63, and ii
lSlOwaodownto $5.21. The loans ahd treasury

"-“-at statement* 41 —
The statistical statements from which this
table is compiled, support our proposition by
the clear establishment of the following facts t
Taking groups of four yoars each, under
the several tariffs, protective and unprotcc
tlve, respectively, we find the relation of the
foreign Imports to the bank circulation te
stand thus:
Under tlie tariff o! 1828, fortho years 1829,
’3O, ’3l, and 32, the imports for consumption
amounted to 202 millions—os millions a year j
the consumption per capita $5.21; the btnlc
circulation 01 'millions. Undor the tariff of
1842, lor the years 1848, ’44, ’45, and ’46, the
imports were 888 millions—97 millions a year;
the consumption per capita $4.95, and the
bank circulation at 105| millions.
Now let ua contrast these with the results of
the unpretectWo tariffs: For the years 1815,
’lO, ’l7, and ’lB, tfio Imports were 419 mil
lions, or 105 millions a years the consumption
per capita $l2; and the bank circulation
seventy millions in 1810, and ptobabty ninety
millions in 1818. The population in 1818
being under nine millions; in 1840, above
twenty, millions.
Under the Compromise taritl, for the yearg
1884, ’B5, ’BO, and ’37, the imports were 482
millions, or 120 millions a year; the consump
tion per capita $8.55, and the bank circulation
149 millions.
Under the taiifl of 1840, lor the years 1813,
’49, ’6O, and ’5l, ibo imports were 036 mil
lions, or 169 millions a year.; the consumption
per capita $0.85, and the bank circulation 155
millions.
For the years 1852, ’6B, ’64, and ’65, the
imports were 958 millions, or 238 millions a
year; the consumption per oaplta $9.20, and
the hank circulation at 204 millions.
For the years 1860,’67,’68, and ’59, the

Xu our judgment the nomination of Mr. Douglas
ia equivalent to an eieetion’by the people.'Ale üby
far tbo most popular man of our. day and genera
tion. As a national candidate, standing' upon a
national platform of non-intervention upon tho
slavery question, opposed by oo as petite rs who favor
intervention and meddling ef Congress with the
subject, ho will be supported by every State of tho
Union, from Maine tc California, and nowhere
more xaalonsly and enthusiastically than in' the
South—raecesdnlly supported in nearly ali of
them. The Northwest will be a unit for him in
November, as it was a unit for him at Balti- /
more. The great Central States of Pennsylvania.
New York, and Ohio, will give him large aad hears ■'
majorities over his Rcpublioaa and dicsuiqA -

For weeks and months they have industriously

too powerful for them to Conceal. They profess to
take courage from the bolt, but they know in tbair
