Eljt airess, „TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1861 “The Partisan Chief."* Some sensation has been caused, in the *Old Of -politics es *ell as of literature, by the annouucdUl cut that, as far back as 1836, the present Crisis and its doming results had been foreshadowed in a work of fiction called gf The Partisaa Leader ; a Tale of then:Attie? purporting to have one Edward 'William Sit nay' as its anther. Rfidd Sz Carleton, New tork, are about reproducing this romance. Originally. Tinbilsl' led, in two volumes, it will now appear id one, and the lo* price (DO cents) will doubtless place it within the reach of a vast number of readers. From advance , , sheets, we are Ade to give an anticipatory , . notice of the beet. ite history, as related in an tkplanatory. Introduction to the new edi tion, is ea-folio+ : ' • .• . "Composed in the for of a novel, its twin ob ject was to exalts this tiouth to rebellion, and to teach bow to =lake th at rebellion !steam/4dt..

The circumstances under _ which ' Thr artiean Leader' woe ushered into exiatente suilioiently indicate its object and character.

"When the Peetrisan Leader 7/118 oommeneed In 1836, it Wag the intention of its author to make it • aerial to belseued at frequent intervals or until the whole South should have become impregnated with Disunion. But oily two pada wore printed and distributed, became after the election of Mr. Van Buren in November 1836, the Seem:ton leaders had resolved upon a change of programme from open: opposition to the Democracy, to a close but treeoherous connection with ft. Tide was effected under color of a great admiration for the tab trea sury feature in the Jack:eon-Van Buren policy; at all events, Mr. Oalhoun and hie friends thence forward held foremost seats in the Democratic ey- Daman. "it is remarkable that the revolution thus *ll fully projected in the Partisan Loader is nowhere in the ,whole book sought to be justified on the grounds of alleged aggressions by the North in respect to slavery. Like the abettors of secession on the floors of Congress, Professor Tucker some to have been vicietblo to make out the semblance of a good case. After the merest allusion to the grounds for dissolution, he says, in one of the pages of this book : ' If any farther account of the causes of the rebellion be required,/ have none to gide. It was through the eyes and hearts f the South that conviction euteredis Outrage to the laws; outrage to the freedom of elections ; outrage to one re spected and beloved (kir. Calhoun), left nothing for reason•to do.' It was in the Administration of General Jackson that the Partisan Leader found or made motives for the disruption of the Confede racy. Negro slavery bad not then, nor has it now, any mammary commotion with that design." A Virginian family named Trevor are the leading personages in this romance, which opens in October, 18.19. Hugh Trevor, living near Richmond, Virginia, is the intimate friend of Kr. Van Buren, represented: in 1849, as serving his third term as Pre sident, and manceuvring to be succeeded by his tiOn, (called te Prince John" by the Gotharnites in our days,) whom he has ap pointed Commander-in-Chief of the United. States Army. Hugh Trevor has three sons in the story. One; a Colonel Owen Trevor, in the U. S. army, is devoted to Van Buren. Another, Lieutenant Douglas Trevor, is goad ed into resigning his commission, and becomes a decided Secessionist, and finally the Partisan Leader of the book. A third, younger than his brothers, is Arthur Trevor, who is intro duced in the opening chapter. There is also Bernard Trevor, brother of Hugh, who has long been a Disunionist. Between his fair daughter, Delia, and his nephew, Douglas, arises a courtship, withit is spiritedly and delicately deathbed in tie :':: Then, as latily, Virginialanwesented as holding a sort Or arme.d Deuttglitt, it break out of -Union en the first-plie . n e emu Trevor; • who folds by the allegiance lie ha,a sworn to the United States and ita Constitution, is slain in strife with his brother Douglas' troop—the. same Douglas, be it remembered, who is, The Partisan Chief. There arc several characters ntrodneed, besides those here named, the chief are Jacob Schwartz and Christian Witt. The first of these is thus described: "A little man now appeared, walking slowly and weari ly, whose dress differed but little from that of the .natives; and who bore, like them, a rifle, With its proper accompaniments of knife, toma hawk, and powder•horn." As a contrast, we are told that Witt "bad something of an air of dignity. Re was a tall, clean-limbed, and powerful man ) of about forty, remarkable for the sobriety of his demeanor, and the thonght fel gravity of his countenance. The other was a little, old fellow, not less than sixty years of age, in whose manner and carriage there was nothing to supply the want of dig nity in his diminutive form and features. A sharp little black eye was the only point about him to attract attention ; and in that the youth thoUght be saw an impertinent and knowing twinkle, which rendered his inquiries yet more offensive•" • Asa specimen of the author's skill in por trait-drawing, we give the following Sketch of Mr. Van Buren in 1849 : "On the evening of the third day from that of which I have just been speaking, the President of the United States was sitting alone in a small room in tile palace, *blob, In eonformity to the nomen olature of foreign mitts, it had baootnh the . fashion to call his -chattet..

Without being aplendid, it wait rich and eostly ; and, in its structure and arrange ment, adapted to the pee of amen, who, devoted to business, yet loved his ease. The weariness of seden tary applieation was relieved by the most tasteful and commodious variety of chairs, conches, and oct fan, while the utmost ingenuity was displayed in the oonstruction of desks, tables, and other convenien ces for reading and writing. In the appearance of the distinguished personage, to whose privacy I have Introduced the faader, there was a mixture of thought and carelessness very Much in character with the implements of business and the appliances for ease and comfort whioh surrounded him. " Be ceoselonally looked Midi watch, and at the door, with the countenanoe of one who expecte a vieitor • and then, throwing himself epithet the arm of hie sofa, resumed his disengaged air. That something was on hie mind wee apparent. Bat, interesting as the subject might be, It did not seem to touch him nearly. Hie whole manner was that of a man who is somewhat at a loss to know what may be beet for others, but finds full consolation in know ing precisely what is best for himself. "As the events of the last ten years make it probable that none of my younger readers have ever seen the august dignitary of whom I speak, and as few of us are like to have 000a810D to see him in future, a particular deseripticm of his per son may not be unaneeptable. Though far ad vanced in life, he was tastily and even daintily dressed, his whole costume being exactly adapted to a diminutive and dapper person. a fair com plexion, a light and brilliant blue eye, and • head which mignt have formed a study for the phre nologist, whether we consider its ample develop manta or its egg like baldness. . The plane of hair was supplied by, powder which hie idlastrious ex ample had again - madeKastifonable.: - The revoli ' Lion in public - sentiment: wfriehi aoromencing sixty years ago, had abolished all the privi leges of rank and age ; which trained up the young to mock at the Infirmities of their father!, and encouraged the unwashed artificer to elbow the duke from his place of precedenoe; this revolution had now Completed its eyole. While the sovereignty of numbers wee acknowledged, the convenience of the multitude had set the fashions. Bat the reign of an indiiiidual bad been restored, and the taste of that individual gave law to the general taste.

As be lay book on the sofa, his eye rested complacently on this . member, whiab was stretched out before him, its position shifting, as if unconsoiously, into every variety of grace.

They therefore de termined no longer to abide the obligations of a Conetitution, the form of which alone remained, and having, by a movement nearly simultaneous, mended from the Union, they had immediately formed a eonthern Confederaoy.' The suddenn.ess of these Measures Wits less remarkable than the Prudence with which they had been conducted. The boo together left little tiotcht that there had been a preconcert among the leading men of the several States, arranging provisitntally what should be done, whenever circumstances should throw power into the hands of those whom, ..at the bidding the usurper, the people had once driven from their councils. It is now known that there Was sueh. mincer'. Nor was it confined to the seceding - States alone. In Virginia, also, there were men Who entered into the saute mews." We do not know whether the italicized sen tences here were so marked in the original, or are so distinguished in the reprint alone-- probably the latter. Here, after mentioning how Douglas Trevor kissed his sweetheart, Delia, the author becomes satirical on the miners and morals of the North : " gar although, aceordtag . to the refinements of the Yankees, ktanng Was an very bad taste, yet the Northern rigime bad not reached the banks of the Roanoke.

Nature had marked the line, and esta blished there a boundary which the gangrene of the social body could never pus." ri The Partisan Ohiet " -is ably written, and though its incidents are comparatively low, there is considerable interest in the story, in dependent of its singular applicability to pre sent events. It may be asked Who is the author Somewhat over a century ago, (actually in : 1752,) St. George Tucker was born in the island of Bermuda. He was educated at Wil liam and Mary College, Virginia, and, at the age of twenty-six, married Mrs. Randolph, mother of John Randolph, of Roanoke. In 1803, on the death of Edmund Pendleton, he was made Judge of Appeals. He was a man of some literary ability, having written seve ral law-tracts, edited Blackstone's Commen taries, and composed some fugitive poetical pieces of more than ordinary merit. Judge Tucker died, in Nelson county, Virginia, in 1837. His son, Beverly Tucker, (born 1784, died in 18M,) was also educated at William and Mary College, became a lawyer, removed to Missouri in 1815, was there appointed judge, returned to his native Virginia in 1830, and was elected Professor of Law in William and Mary College in 1884, which office he retained, for the following seventeen years, to his death. He was father, we believe, of Mr. Beverly Tucker, ex• Consul to Liverpool. Professor Tucker possessed decided literary taste and ability. He wrote several legal works, contributed to the Southern Riving', and was author of three novels, viz.; George Balcombe, The Partisan Loader, and Ger trude. In politics, he was g; a stern States- ' Rights Doctrinaire, intense of feeling, jealous of right, and with an eager sense of wrong and injury." So is he described by William Gil more Simms, who adds : cc He was jealous as a politician, like his brother, John Randolph." Personally the warm Weald of Mr. Calhoun, Professor Tucker eagerly sympathized with his political feelings, and scarcely any one was more annoyed and grieved at the crushing down of Nullification, in 1832, under the iron heel of Andrew Jackson. tinder the influence of such feelings ho wrote The Partisan Chief, in wbich, drawing on his imagination for the bald3"-tbe re Volt of the South, and partied larly Virginia,• for independence, which he fixed as having been won in 1850—he has really anticipated a goud dear of the events which already have occurred in the actual struggle ! "The Partisan Chief," we repeat, is a poli tico-literary curiosity, worthy of perusal, both because it is extremely well written, and on account of its singular relation to the present crisis, though written twenty-five years ago. Book Notices. Mammas op Jona FANNING WATSON. By Rev. B. Dorr, D. D. Pp. 88. Philadelphia Printed by T. K. Collins, 1881.—We are glad to See that Dr. Dory's Memoir of John F. Watson, the late venerable annalist, which was read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, February 11, 1881, has been printed, and is now for sale at a num ber of the booketOree in our city. the impression is limited to only two hundred and fifty copies, and hence all who wish to secure a memorial of our distinguished antiquary must make early applica tion. The volume is very neatly printed, and, in addition to the Memoir, contains sorerable valuable Notes and Lettere, as an appendix, and, as a fron tlepleae, has an admirable photograph of Mr. Watson, taken last year, by MoOlces, of this oily. The Memoir has appeared at a most auspicious time, as its perusal cannot fail to increase in every true American heart renewed love for our country and its flag The following extract, In Mr. Wat son's own language, illustrates our meaning. It was written by him when eighty years of age : "In conclusion, I must add, that my mother, wishing to identify me with the scenes of the Re volution, when the Flag of Peace was hoisted to the breeze on Iderket•atreet hill, hold me up in her arms, and made me see it, and notioe THAT FLAG, so that it should be told by MI in after years, she, at the same time, shedding many tears of joy at the glad spa:diets. 'And now, an octogenarian, I feel a melancholy pleasure in recording this , my testimony for the consideration of my posterity." Mr. Watson was a true patriot, and in his last sickness, when his dreams would be of ware and bloodshed, he awoke, and, with tears In hie eyes, exolaimed, " I do not wish to live to see our Union dissolved." He died at Germantown, Deoember 23,1880, at the age of eighty-one years, full of faith and hope, and this memorial will be trea oared by every one who loves the early history of our olty and State. Cotton Stockings. For The Press.] A paper published in this oily by the publishers of the Baltimore Sun reoommends the wearing of cotton stockings to the volunteers. The source from which this advice cornea is enough to excite distrust. The following extract from a work on clothing, published in London about fifty years ago, is sufficient to demonstrate the unhealthiness of cotton stockings: eonnection between the feet and the head, the stet:nee& and the urinary passages, is such that fits of the gout, and pains resembling those of the stone, are frequently and almost instantaneously brought on by oold applied to the feet. I em even persuaded, says Dr. Vaughan, that cancer and inflammation are frequently occasioned by , we triog cotton and silken stockings. " Cotton, like linen, once saturated with the moisture discharged from the feet, can receive no more, and as it can part with little or none to the atmosphere, the excretion must be more or less impeded, and a sensation of coldness and clammi ness must be inevitable. Nothing stops the ex oration from the feet sooner and more effectually than cold ; nor are facts wanting to convince those who are open to conviction that cotton, worn next the skin, is a plentiful source of uncleanliness. Let any one desirous to see It proved wear cotton stockings one day and worsted the next, and after wards say whioh was tho most free from humidi ty and smell. Cotton, saturated with the humidi ty of the feat, soon rots. Cotton stockings will not last so long as worsted for this very reason." A ktIGITIVI CONORBSO.

At three o'clock we pawed Fort McHenry, and a short time after we were landing at the wood , wharf of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at Loettst Point, Baltimore. A large police force was present when we landed, under the direction" of Marshal Kane. Mayor Brown was also on the wharf at the time. No de monstration of any klud, however, occurred, and the pollee force had little service to perform. The volunteers under Colonel Patterson marched to the Locust Point junction, a distance of about two miles, where they took the oars for Washing ton.

Yesterday morning we were quartered at Senator Cluolo's old house, and in QM-afternoon the whole regiment moved to the Capitol; and took up their quarters in the Senate Chamber. Things are all upside down in the quartermaster's department, and consequently feed'? turns up rather-slim, but it will be all right in a day or two, for there is plenty of 13.1- cooked provisions here, and there is also an onto eiva oroird'of soldiers to- eat" them;' but - I guess there is enough for all... Nine out of every ten_man you meet are soldiers. A Baltimore man told me that there was a disposition 'up a little row as we oame throngh that wicked city but some of the rowdies came among the soldiers and took no. count of storm. • Ile said that when they saw the field-pleaes were all loaded, and every. Mite had hiipleoeloaded' and °lipped, and that mme of the regulars from Texas wanted .a brush, Just to keep their hands in, the Baltimoreans thought it was the safest thing for them 'to let-us alone, for they saw fight in every stildlar l e eye; and so we got through safe and sound. We got our Wale musket& on the sante to - Baltimore, and are as well " as any of-them. The pieces are -all bronzed; which enables us to keep them in good order with very little cleaning.. The boys are all in good spirits, although there Is some little grumbling about the quality of the NAIADS among those of en sideman tutu - of mind ; bat their delicate stomach' will soon get broken into army fare. As for. S and myself, we go to his friends hors; (of which he has quite a number,) andget our meals when we get •hungry.

EDITOB : Nothing can be so , erroneous IS the idea, too generally entertained, that there is to be little or no fighting with the States in rebellion ;' that thevery great display of Rine in the - North, and ttie unbounded resouroes of our Beckon, will daimon the' spirits of the Sotithern people. Not so,' I maitre. you. / know those people; and am convinced they have made pp ;their minas for a desperate and bloody conflict. They will fight with all the desperation of fanatics, and with a datermination seldom, if ever, witnessed in the history of the world. I implore my countrymen of 1 the North, therefore, to rid themselves of all Idris of a peaceful adjustment of our difficulties, and prepare themselves for the struggle, which is ante to be, at best, a severe and long one. Every dictate of sound reason ( end prudence suggests the most complete arrangements and prepare. dins, on our part, before attempting a forward movement and consequent collision of arms. It would be madness for the Administration to rush precipitately forward until all is in readiness to strike a snooeulul blow, and then to follow it up, promptly and vigorously, to the end. Politicians know Little of what would be the consequences of their ina and mistaken and crude advice on' this occasion. Let the Government continue to take the edvice of the old, sage hero, General Scott, and Ignore newspaper scribblers end politicians, who urge hasty action, and deal in paper themselves. OLD dOLDLIR.

When this is multiplied by two to six or eight, according to the , number of partners, and has added to it enormous store-rent and expenses in proportion, Wilzig goods on open moonlit and long time, and a general free-and•easy way of doing business, is it to be Wondered at that such houses do"nat add to their capital? For, after all it is the addition'to its capital, and not the amount of business that a house does, that is the object of being in bustness. Again, it is said that the country storekeeper met have time, as his customers don't realize on their crops until such and such times. Now there is the trouble, Let the customers live on the ac tual and not on the future. Let them spend the last crop and not the one to come. The present business is all done with an Ir the consumer should - get his money, he will pay tbe retailer; and be-he pays the retailer, the retailer will pay the jobber-; and if the retailer pays the jobber, the jobber will pay his notes. Now there may 'be divers causes, such as short crops, scarcity of money, reaction after speculation, depreciation' of penes, 'b., which will prevent the consumer from paying. The whole business of the country has beim built with this winger -stone to be put in afterwards, and not as it should be, the first stone to be' laid; and if it can't be pat in,lood bye to the whole fabric. Then as to the jobber with small capital, who sells for cash or short time ; this feature is con. sidered as making him safe, particularly when at the same time he is always flush of money. But if such a house buys his goods on six and eight months time, he may be utterly insolvent for years and yet apparently sound. ' A house who sells far cash or short time must buy on short time, to be worthy of great. • A merchant says to himself " I am worth a hun dred thousand _ dollars" promises to pay ; are they money? As to jobbers and retailers, these pro mises are mostly only verbal, not written; Are -these 'money? Not while so Many . repudiate; some from want of ability, and some frolit want of integrity Let the jobber forthwith put up. • a _ notice that his terms are " invariably note payable in bank with exchange at three months, less three per cent. 'discount;" and let the paokage-house notify the jobber that his terms are " invariably note paya ble in bank. with exchange at four months, fess . four' per cent. discount," and let the terms be rigidly adhered to in the future. The dissettnts in each ease would be an aid in the matter, atturaking the :ohange less violent, being equivalent to the terms heretofore. • If in this way, we don't find our intermittent. altogether cured, a little more of the same sort of medicine may perhaps dare it entirely and Mfr._ tually. • C.
