“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.. It was
' a tale of the fatal ,' and mdeteconderfullyle that
1 future' fulfillinelts predictions. Indeed, the Jeff.
Devises, Tenders' Pryers, Ithette c 'Letehere, eta.,
seem to have

remarkable boo k, its anther, Professor Beverly
Tnoker, of Willistalr c bd -Mary College, Virginia,
and but recently' deoeried, was one of the moat
trusted friend,• end de4teid partisans of Mr. Cal
houn; and had he lir , „tiU to-day, would have
witnessed no feebh,* °imitate:of the- complete fulfil
ment of lie own Vitpheolel. The circumstances
under _ which ' Thr artiean Leader' woe ushered
into exiatente suilioiently indicate its object and
character. The minuarript"was plaoed in the bands
of Mr. Calhoun's Winneetion and confidant. Duff
Green,- then propdetor - of the ' Telegraph,' pub
Robed in Washin on city. It wee accordingly
printed. in Green office on ' Capitol Hill,' but
fili
with a ation, lint, and a false date of twenty
years in advance '
•11856.) kronur., as io known from
the beet living temantony, green aonfemed the book
to be , 'Treatioti.'
"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.. The furnitereof thielittle Apart
ment was aharaeterized - at met by neatness, taste,
and convenience. 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. Had

But as phrenology had taught him to be juatly
proud of his high and polished forehead, and the
intellectual developments of the whole cranium, he

his naked crown from the air with ,a light covering
of powder. lie seemed, too, not wholly uncon

the beauty of which was displayed to the beat ad
vantage by the tight fit and high finish of his deli

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

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 :

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."

pieces, and prepared to give the " mete" of that
city something more than they received when they
tried their Small business; on the 19th - of April.
At three o'clock we pawed Fort McHenry, and
a short time after we were landing at the wood

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

Baltimore; but very little confidence had we in

* * An t Sat! 8. and I are now sit

be ! Mrs . Pendleton 's residence,) both using his
writing material and refreshments. The Col.
was very glad to see us. 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

get broken into army fare. As for. S and myself,
we go to his friends hors; (of which he has quite a

Ma. 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.

and, in - a few months or 'years it -le as wild as

Thatinis no safety for a people -having the Mee
trio temperament and speculative propensity rof •
the Americans, where every one is determined to -
make his fortune in five or ten years, but to keep
a regtdaior on. the- engine ill the time, and 'that
regulator is short oredit• If it is said the effect
will be to. throw the business into the hands df a
few rich helloes, and to destroy:the weak 'ones, the
aruswisiis, that the rich houses need the cheek as
much as any. Art A 1 house hatt every facility
offered' them; their custom is courted, and their
name is so good that the partners become
deluded with the idea , that the name of the
firm and its promises_ to pay are all that are .
necessary to earry on the business, Then own
mencei the taking of capital out of the busi
ness,' in the shape of expensive homes, extrava
,gant dressing, furniture and entertainments ; then •
come horses and fine equipages, or perhaps in
vestments in stocks and divers apeoulationa. 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._
