Arnerictin Historians.
Best known in Europe as the Americans
who have written history well 'are Bancroft,
Prescott, and Motley. Of these, Mr. Bancroft
has eminently distinguished hinisolf as the
Tacltus of his own country's annals. His
History of America, now advanced to the
great period when the Declaration ot Inde
pendence was signed, is a work upon which
the best criticism, because the truest, is to
say that it is worthy of its glorious theme. It
is the wish of all who admire it that its writer
may live to complete it, and survive, long
after that consummation, to enjoy the grati
tude of his own country and the admiration of
mankind.
It is greatly to Hr. Brincroit'a ,credit that, Very precious gift. The live years covered by
from the time he published the first volume its Illustrations are the years 1586-89. Of this
of his History of the United States, until platted, Elliaboth, Philip, and Alexander are

will most strongly and conscientiously reject

It adds: "No ono will find the chapter on
the siege , of Antwerp, or that on the league of

England to the Invlncible Armada, one word
too long. These chapters are, indeed, vivid,
galloping, and pictorial in the highest degree.

the diplomatic correspondence, thorn would
remain for us, with some conspicuous flaws, a
noble and brilliant book."

The following are the letters written by General
Sohn B. Wdol on the present revolution in South
Carolina. They were allided to•in a telegraphici

LETTER TO A MEND IN WASHINGTON.
Taor, December 31, 1860.
MY DEAN. Sin : South Carolina, after 27 years—
Mr. Rhett says 30 years—of constant and in
creasing efforts by her leaders to induce her to se-
cede, has declared herself out of the Union ; and
this, too, without the slightest wrong or injustice
done her people on the part of the Government of
the United States. Althoughehe may have seized
the revenue cutter, raised her treasonable Pal ,
motto nag over the United States arsenal, custom
hence, post office, Castle Pinckney, and Fort
Moultrie, she is not out of the Union, nor beyond
the pale of the United States. Before she can get
out of their jarisdietion or control, a reconstruc
tion of the Constitution must be had or civil war
ensue. In the latter case, it would require no
prophet to foretell the result.
It is reported that Mr. Buchanan has received
niformally the commissleners appointed by the
rebels of South Carolina to negotiate for the pub
lic property in the harbor of Charleston and for
other purposes. It is also reported that the Presi
dent disapproved of the oonduot of Major Ander
son, who, being satisfied that he would not be able
to defend Fort fideultrie with the few met under
his command, wisely took possession of Fort Sump
ter, whore he could protect himself and the'conn
try from the disgrace which might have occurred
if he had remained in Fort Moultrie. Being the
commander in the harbor, he had the right to oo
oupy Fr rt Sumpter, an not which the safety of the
Union, as well as his own honor demanded. It is
likewise stated that apprehensions aro entertained
that Major Anderson will be required to abandon
Fort Sumpter, and reoccupy Fort Moultrie. There
can be no foundations for such apprehensions,' for
surely the President would not surrender the cite ,
del of the harbor of Charleston to rebels. Fort
Sumpter commands the entrance, and in a few
hours could demolish Fort Moultrie. So long as
the United States keeps possession of this fort, the
Independence of South Carolina will only be in
name, and not 1n feet. If, however, it should be
surrendered to South Carolina, which I do not ap
prebend, the smothered indignation of the free
States would be roused beyond control. It would
not be in the power of any one to restrain it. In
twenty days two hundred thousand men would
he in readiness to take vengeance on alt who
would betray the Union into the hands of its
enemies. Be assured that Ido not exaggerate the
feelings of the people. They ate already sufficient
ly excited at the attempt to dissolve the Union for
no other reason than that they constitutionally ex
embed the moat precious right conferred on them,
of voting for the person whom they considered the
most worthy and beet qualified to fill the office of
President. Fort Sumpter, therefore, ought not,
and I presume will not, be delivered over to South
Carolina.
I am not, however, pleading for the free States,
for they are not in danger, but for the Union
and the preservation of the Cotton States. Those
Vrho tow the wind must expect to reap the
The leaders of South Carolina could not
have noticed that we live in an age of progress,
and that all Christendom is making rapid strides
in the march of civilization and freedom. If they
had, they would have diseovercd that the an
nonnoement of every victory obtained by the Hero
of the Nineteenth Century—Garibaldi—in favor

every American heart with Joy and gladness.
Where liberty dwells there is my country," was
the declaration of the illustrious Franklin. This
principle is too strongly implanted in the heart and
mind of every man in the free States, to ba_
to extend the area ßnnfh ot Bravery order'.
With all christianised Europe and nearly all the
olvilised world opposed to slavery, aro the South
ern States prepared to set aside the barriers which
shield • and protect their institutions under the
United States Government? Would the separa
tion of the South from the North give greater se
curity to slavery than it has now under the Consti
tution of the Union? What security would they
have for the return of runawa, slaves? I appre
hend none, while the number of runaways would
be greatly augmented, and the difficulties of which
elaveholdere complain would be 'mewed tenfold.
However much individuals might Condemn slavery,
the free States are prepared to sustain and defend
it as guarantied by the Constitution.
In conclusion, I would avoid the bloody and de
solating example of the Mexican States. lam
tow and forever in favor of the Union, its preser

Trier, Deo. 6, 1860.
Mir DRAB. Getie.BAL : Old aesooiatione and former
friondehip induce one to venture to address to you
a few words on the state of the country. My letter
is headed private, because lam not authorised to
address you officially.
I have read with pleasure the President's 'mes
sage. South Carolina soya she intends to leave the
Union. Her Representatives in Congress say ebe
has already left the Union. It would seem that she
is neither to,be conciliated nor comforted. I corn.
mend the Eastern Department, which includes
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida Alabama, and
Mississippi. You know me well. f have ever been
a firm, decided, faithful, and devoted friend of my
country. If I onn aid the President to preserve
the Union, I hope be will command my services.
It will never do for him or you to leave Washing
ton without every star in this Union is in Its place.
Therefore, no time should be lost on adopting mea
sures to defeat those who are conspiring against
the Union. Hesitancy or delay may be no less
fatal to the Union than to the President, or your
own high standing as a statesman.
It seems to me that troops should be sent to
Charleston to man the forts In that harbor. You
have eight companies at Fort Monroe, Va. Three
or four of these cempanies should be sent without
a moment's delay to Fort Moultrie. It will save
the Union and the President ranch trouble. It Is
told that to send at this time troops to that harbor
Would produce great excitement among the people.
That is nonsense, when the people are as mush ex
cited as they can be, and their leaders are de•
termined to execute their long meditated purpose
of separating the State from the Union. Ito long
ns you command the entrance to the oily of Charles.
ton, South Carolina cannot separate herself from the
Union. Do not leave the forts in the harbor in a
condition to induce an attempt to take possession
of them. It might easily be done at this time. If
South Carolina should take them it might, as she
anticipates, labels other States to join her..
Permit me to entreat you to urge the President
to send at ones three or tour companies of artillery
to Fort Moultrie. The Union can be preserved,
but it requires firm, decided, prompt, and ener
getic moutons on the part of the President: He
has only to exert the power conferred on him by
the Constitution and laws of Congress, and all will
be safe, and he will prevent a civil war, which
never fails to call forth all the baser passions of
the human heart. If a separation should take
place, you may rest assured blood would flow in
torrents, followed by pestilence, famine, and deo
lotion, and Senator Soward'a irrepressible conflict
will be brougbt'to a conclusion much sooner than
he could possibly have anticipated. Let me con-
M reJu you to save the Union, and thereby avoid the
- bloody and desolating example of the States of
Mexico.
A separation of the States wiU bring with it the
desolation of the Cotton States, which are unpre
pared for war. Their weakness will bo found in
the number of their slaves, with but few of the,
essentials to carry on war, while the free States
have all the elements and materials for war, and
to a greater extent than any other people on the
face of the globe.•
Think of these things, my dear General, and
save the country, and save the prosperous kouth
from pestilence, famine, and desolation. Peace
able seoesston is not to be thought of. Even if it
should take place, in three months we would
have a bloody war on our hands.
Very truly your friend,

canvas-backs in the waters of Gunpowder river,
Maryland, is esteemed rare sport. In the dunking
season the birds frequent the river in large flocks,
oovoring sores upon aoros of tho surface, and when
they rise make a noise almost akin to thunder.
Tho manner of shooting them is to meet" blinds,"
severed with sedge and seaweed, upon the shore,
behind which the sportsman cautiously creeps for
concealment. A stiok with a red tiandkerohief
upon it is then thrust out from the " blind" and
waved, when the dunks perceiving it at once make
for the spot where it is exhibited. The flag is kept
waving until the dark mass of canvas-backs are

SKETCHES ;OE CITY LIFE.
The Seep !louse.
Tuesday : was the initial ' day' of a new year.
Eighteen hundred and 'sixty vanished with Mon
day midnight, and thousand's of Cbristians, -in
Meek imitation'of thealsepherds of Judea; watched,
with-voices of prayer and of song, -anti! the deep
in the State House tower made its measured
ory. Then Christ Churoh woke into mualo, and
the
.bellman in far-up steeple greeted, with a chime
of cheerfuineas, the march of eighteen hundred'
arid sixty-one. Then the whole town was popu
lated' with small arms which Shot theniselves at
the dead twelvemonth, and hailed the new year,'
as it came in with silent but solemn steps, like the
birth of a young monarch.
Tuesday was the first day of the new first month,
and, as such, became to some a season of merry
making. Those Who little boys, whose sagacity
spared twenty:five pennies from the Christmas ex
travaganoe, invested the same at the menagerie
or with' the Berenaders. . And there were staid
family parties, whose devotions were paid to a
roasted goose or an enormoui gobbler With such
hersikonioua meetings we have nought hold. By
the kindness of a friend, we visited, in the morn
ing, the Moyamensing Soup House, in Eighth
street, below Christian, and witnessed the init.
gent‘who thronged the windows for allotments of
the butritious liquor: A portion of our expe
rience we make public.
‘The Soup House question is a neat brick edi

dpora upon Eighth street, lea ding' into two roetiol;
appropriated respootively• to` white and:borolid
people. At the - foot of each room is fixed a win

litter 0 approaahed , b y door upon Marriott
street. It is neatiiadOrated with la, shelf, under
lying each window, and two immense boilers-of
cast:iron, of the capacities of ;ninety galiCas each.

vilth a dozen Or meie of. cleanly bowls eitd spoons,'
and two bill-files itood upon the two isheltes- ad- ,
jilning the windows., A I cellar beneath the oebk!
loom contained some barrels of rice and some hun-'
dregs of bushels of potatoes ! carrot!, turnips, and
Cabbage. 'Large quantities of the same bad • been,
ant into fragnients Prior to our arrival, and Wire
beeped 'into vessels, awaiting the requlreinerits of
another cooking day. The•furnaoes by which the
cauldrons of soup above stairs were heated kind
in one corner of the cellar. The whole house;
above and below stairs, was of an indeleilbable
cleanliness, and the smell of the boiling soup was
at once savory and invigorating. ,
The soup given out at this place alternates in
kind every day of the six, The Seventh,day has .
thus : far been the only day of the week whereon
the pool are not refreshed: The Sunday of ohiser'-`
fulness, when et h er homes are brighter than at .
wont, and the family table is more luxurimisly'
heaped, is not to the needy even a soup-day. -
The association transacts its charity through the
Tedium of a board of managers, two of whom: ap
pear every day, to serve out the rations. A
"Visitor" makes the circuit of the district at the
beginning of the cold season, and furnishes to each
destitute family an order for a quantity of soup
Corresponding to the number of' perionaln the
family. The order thus glyen is exchanged at the
sonp.house for a ticket containing 'blank spaces,
for six days of the week, and for eleven wean, the
annual period. of praotioal charity. Twice per
week meal and bread aro given out. •
The hours of charity eommenoe at 11 A. and end
at 2 P. M.
' Punctually, at eleven o'clock On New, Year's
day,
,the windows opening upon the waiting whitei,
and colored folk, were thrown

little girl, with large blaok eyes set under a pale
forehead, and thin threadslof black hatr, Peeping
out from bar faded hood. She held up - to the sill
by a thin arm and handsome tapering lingerie, an
anoient pitcher with a rim of gilt running about,

hand, and between the weight of the vessel and
her efforts to reach up the ticket, she appeateff to,
be greatly fatigued and flustered.

Immo a groat ugly woman, whose jaws appeared to
be swollen, and were wrapped Olosely with sari-co
bored bandages which materially interfered with
her 'articulation. The same wore tied into a bow
knot at the book of her hood and the flaunting ties
bore some resemblance to the root of a marine
One.
This woman said something through the ban
dago whtoh sounded very much like "Weals
Meokelroy an' two °Wider."
Mrs. " Meakelroy," having furnished a stone
jug without a handle, ingeniously supplied with a
mouth by knocking away a considerable portion of
the jug, was gratified with the favor of two pints
of soup. She passed around the corner of the win
dow and deliberately applying her lips to the ma
ven stone, took a long drink, as of some potent
beverage, and smacked her lips.
Then came a succession of urchins, male and fe
male, interpolated with an occasional woman or
old man.
These carried all manner of utensils. Bottles,
bowls, pitchers, iron pots, and in one ease a spit
toon, were passed into line. Of the tin kettles,
many were mended by bits of rag stuffed into the
jagged bottoms, and more than one pitcher was
fouled, within and without, by dust and filth.
We observed with 80020 interest an old man,
sadly worn by rum and poverty, whose remnant of
coat collar was closely buckled to hie ohin to hide
a bare nook 'and breast. His beard and hair, to

imitation of an irritated terrier, "an ask the small

In a moment, the man appeared at the colored
