Next to receiving
. the universal praise of
critics and general readers, the best way of
.bringing a book into notice is to have it
Soundly abused, and ...the higher the authority
which issues the hard censure the, greater the
probability of the censured work being sought
after. A striking example of this has just oc
curred in Europe. M. Paul B. Du . Chaillu, an
American explorer, who had passed eight
years in Africa, lately published a volume con
taining the record for his last four-1856-9---

acclimation, from early residence and know-
ledge of the language and habits 41 the sea

his advantages Were unusually great.
TWo months ago, Murray published this book,
entitled 4 t Explorations and Advoritares in
Equatorial Africa; with Accounts of the Man
ners and Customs of the People, and of the
Chase of. the Gorilla, Crocodile, Leopard,
Elephant, Hippopotamus, and other Animals.
By Paul B. Du Chaffin. With Map and Illus
trations."
It has just been published in New York, by
Messrs Harper, .who appear, from an acknow
ledgment in the author's preface, to have con
tributed, in a pecuniary manner; to his enter
aid who, he gratefhlly says, c( have
fbtrctie with' kindly patience the many delays
'ad troubles caused by my inexperience in
the labors of authorship."

when narrating personal adventure, which
carries the reader onward with expectations
rarely disappointed, is certainly More attrac

travels in Africa lately published. It treats,
also, of a vast district hitherto nearly un
known, and' of people and animals equally.
novel and curious. 'Barth's book treats of
the North and Centre, Burton's of the
Centre, Wilson's of the West, Livingstone
and Gordon Cumming of the South, An
derson's of the Southwest (Lake Ngami),
and here Du Chaillu's informs us about the
'Equatorial regions of Africa. One portion of
:the* country traversed by Du Chaillu is the
home of the huge man-like Gorilla, who lite
:rally reigns in 'the forests, for the lion dares
not venture where that gigantic and fierce
creature lives. He Watched. the nest-building
ape's way of life. He lived among the Fan,
cannibals (who. devour oven
_human beings
which have, died. of disease,) And the chief
objects of his journeying, in which ho was not
accompanied by any other white man, was to
find healthy quarters suitable for missionary
stations. In most of his, extended journeying
ho was the first white man ever seen by the
natives—some of whom took him for a god,
while others thought him most repulsive and
unnatural.

daces, and the native word kamba, to utter,)
which, especially in the head, bears a great re
semblance to man. He waged war with the
terrible Gorilla as eagerly as Gordon Cum
ming did with the lion, and even had a yonng.
.Gorilla in confinement, until its death. He
found a native King who spoke French
fluently, and encountered the Ashira people,
a well-looking, semi -civilized, and wicked
race, and' the Apingi, who differ from all
other Africans in having naturally indastri
'one habits. They elected him - their King, so
he may call himself Du Chaffin the First. FL.
nally, wasted . by illness, he ceased his wan
derings, first hoisting; on a tall tree,,our Ame
rican flag, the Stars and Stripes.
M. Dn Chelan claims to have discovered,
In Central Africa, twenty new species of qua
drupeds, and sixty new species of birds,
if many as strange as otheri were beautiful."
He claims to have been the first white man
who saw.the nest-building ape and the Koolo-
Lambs, but we do not understand that he
pretends to have absolutely discovered the
Gorilla, that most monstrous and ferocious of
all the ape family, Among the fauna, too, he
noticed an unusual number of species peculiar
to the region. He found numerous navigable
rivers ; a country-in whose virgin soil any tro
pical crop will grow; stately woods; lofty
mountains, which extend nearly across equa
torial Africa ; afine climate ; in fact, an un
expectedly magnificent' country, which is new
ground to the missionary and the trader, and
which affords a fertile field for the operations
of both. Although H. Du Chailln lies pro
(limed a remarkably interesting_ book, he mo
destly and unnecessarily adds 4 c-the long and
tedious labor of preparing this book for the
press [it has been written out from his faith
fully-kept journals] leaves me the conviction
that it is much easier to hunt Gorillas than- to
write about them—to explore new countries
than to describe them."
M. Da Chailles book exalted great atten-
Lion when it was published in London, last
May, Immediately he became one. of the
a lions" of London society, and, literally,
‘r the observed of all observers." What gave
him particular status was the circumstance
that Professor Owen, perhaps the best corn—
parative anatomist and physiologist that ever
lived—it is no flattery to call him the Newton
of Natural History—hasglven'his testimony;
* after mipitc examination of the skeletons,
skins, apecimerur, and stuffed birds which Du
.ohafila brought from Africa, in favor of the
trial:titaness, notwithstanding its occasionally,
startling nature, of his recital of adventure
and discovery.
On the other hand, Dr. Gray, a learned mart
connected with the natural history department
of the British Museum—the officials of which,
as in Collier's Shakspeare and other instances,
have exhibited great facility in discovering
mares' nests charges M. do 0 tudllu with
displaying more of invention than fact, particu
larly as regards the Gorilla, antrdenies that he
discovered a single new mammal. As an able,
critic says, "If by that he means to say that
he has discovered no mammal that is new in
.1861, the assertion may be corr ect; but M. da
Chaffin has been exploring and collecting
'since 1852, and more than one novelty has
found its way by second-hand to•the collectors
' of the British Museum. As forthe birds, how
ever, Dr. Gray knows perfectly well that he
has quite anothei tale to tell, and it would have
been only honest in him to have admitted it. ,
Is be ignorant of the results of the investi
gation to which M. du Chailln's collection of
birds has been icabmitted by Professor Owen
and hie own brother—Mr. George Gray? poes
ho not know that these eminent naturalists
have selected very many species which aro en
tirely unrepresented in the Museum T He has
said that AL du Chalk Nes. bought his skins
arid specimens from traders. - How is it, thou,
that be—in communication (as he assorts)
with all the best collectors on the African
eoast...-tsa been iinable to obtain specimens
for the Museum ? The dilemma seems au
awkward one." Perhaps, next to Professor
Owen's endorsement, the most striking would
be that from Captain Richard Barton (author
of "The Lake Regions of Central Africa"),
who, as we observe by the last English jour
nals, was announced to read, before the Ethno
logical Society of London, on July 8, "Notes
upon M. do Chaillu's Explorations and Ad
ventures in Western Africa." It was under.
stood that Captain 13tirton would support the
general veracity and accuracy of the ethnolo
gical part of M. du ChaiHa's narrative.
By.this time, we understand, the impression
among Englishmen of science and travellers is
almost overwhelmingly in favor of the truth-
I ulneas of M. du Chailln's singular and inte
resting statements. But the controversy,
which has been warm and able, pro and con,
has given au amazing impetus to the sale of
Da Challla's 4 g Equatorial Africa." The book
has gone off, literally in thousands, in Europe,
and promises to have a yet more extended sale
here— where, though brought out with, what
may bo termed unexampled beauty and ele
gance, particularly of the numerous fine en
gravings-, •the pr !cols only half what ls charged
for the pork in England.
Eminently, though not exact/lively, a book
abOut that strange animal the Gorilla, our ox.-

Chaillrea'first 'view of the monster:
• " Sud - deinl I wag startled by a strange, dis

young gotillas running toward the deep forests.
We air e44' lit hit nothing. Then we rushed. on..in

We follow this with :an account of his first

" Ttie.,underbruah swayed rapidly just ahead,

gorilla , Aie had, gone through the jangle on his
all-fours ; - ; : btifwhen he saw our party be erected

about a 'dozen yards, from us, and was a sight I
think .r.shall never forget . .. Nearly six feet high
(he proved four inohes shorter), with immense

fiercely-glaring large deep gray eyes, and a hellish
expression of facile, whioh seemed to me like some
nightmare vision Thus stood before us this king

lie stood there, and beat his breast with his huge
fists till'irresoundedllke an immense base-drum,
,whioh is their mode of offering defiance ; mean
time, giving vent to roar alter roar. The roar of
the gorilli is the most singular and awful noise
heard in these -African woods. It begins with a
sharp al;ark, like...an angry dog, then glides into
a deep bass roll; Which literally..and closely re•
sembles the. roll of distant thunder, along the
sky, for which I hive sometimes been - tempted
to take if w hich
I did not see tbe animal. So
deep is WAWA it seems to prcideed less from the
Month and throet than from - the deep cheat and
vast paunch.: 11.14 eyes began to flash fiercer , fire
as we stood motionless on the , defensive, and the
orett of short hair which stands on his forehead
- begin sto.torifeh rapidly up and down, while his
-powerful fangs ware shown as he again sent forth a
.thunderous roar. And now truly bkreminded me
of nothing bit some hellishdream creature—a be

which we find pieta/0d by - old artists in Some re

roar agaila-Lidvaneed agais,
and finally.atoPped
when at d'iliistspoe of about six yards from us.
And bare, just ache began another of his roars,
beat:ll3odß trout in rage, we fired, and killed
him With:a groan, which had something terribly
human In it, and -yet was full of brutishness, he
fell forward.upon his face. The body shook con
vulsively fora few minutes, the limbs moved
about in 'a struggling way. and then all was quiet
—death had done its work, and I had leisure to
examine the huge body. It proved to be five feet
eight inches high, and the muscular development
of the arms and tireast showed what immense
ertrength it had powiessed."
It is only fair to show the other sid&--the
Gorilla killing the man. M. Du Chaillu . fell in
with one - 4f his attendants, lying wounded on
the ground : ;
" We picked him up, and I dressed his wounds
as well sis I could with rags torn from my clothes.
When I had giren him a little brandy to drink he
oame to himself; and waa'able,"but with great diffi
culty, to speak.- Her/raid that be, bad met the
gorilla suddenly and face to face, and that it had
not attempted to &soaps: It' was, he said, a huge

pose, made bina"miss. He said he'took good aim,

greatest raga ailvanoeA upon him To run away
_iikesid have been panght in
the jungle before he had &one a dozen zarde. He
stood his ground, and as quiokiy as he could, re
loaded his gun. Just as he raised it •to fire, the
gorilla dashed it out of his hands, the gun going
off la the fall; and then, In an !natant, and with a
terrible roar,llie animal are him a tremendous
blow with its immense open'paw, frightfully lace
rating the abdomen, .and with this single blow
laying bare part of the intestines. As he sank,
bleeding, to the ground, the monster seised the
gen, and the poor hunter thought be would have
hill brains dashed out with it." But - the gorilla
seemed to have looked upon this also as an enemy,
and in his rage almost flattened the barrel between
his strong jaws. When we name upon the ground
the - gorilla was gone. This is their mode when
attacked—to strike one or two blows, and then
leavelhe victims of their rage on the ground and
gooff into the woods."
-M. du Chaffin tersely sums up the results of
his four years' travel. He says, «I travelled
Hilways onloot, and unaccompanied by other
white men—abouf eight thousand miles. .I

opinion of that,] and- I .killed upwards of' a
thousand quadrupeds, of:which two hundred
were. staffed and b rought home, with more
than eighty skeletons: ' , Not less than twenty
of these quadrupeds are species hitherto un
known to sclence.„ I suffered fifty attacks of
the African fever, taking, to cure myself, over
foyrleen ounces ofjquinine. Of famine, long
continued exposure to the heavy tropical rains,
and attacks of ferocious ants and venomous
pies, it is not worth while to speak."

I 'cannot refrain from noticing "one 4iiiPrett.
Edon derived from my trans-Potomac expedi.
tion, and that was'induced by the admirable
discipline, and careful respect for private, pro.
party around Arlington House. With the
exception of the unavoidable presence of
soldiers about the grounde and dwelling, all'
things seemed as well conducted, and oven
more strictly preserved, than they were some
years since, when I visited .the place, during
the lifetime of the venerable step-son of Wash
ington, -Mr. Custis. Not a twig has been
broken from a tree, nor a flower despoiled
from the shrubbery. Whatever is used from
the garden is paid for, and the slaves who
were left behind, when their services are re.
tinired, have the time of their labor particu
_ . ..
larly noted, that the proper compensation may
be made. It is doubtful whether the place
has ever been so profitable beide as it is
now. Visitors are extremely anxious to take
away mementoes, and bouquets culled from
the garden would sell at very remunerative
rates, bat neither the pleadings of the ladies
nor the entreaties of - their male escorts can
obtain a petal to grace a herbarium. While
so much is heard of ruthless spoliation and
the seizure of private property within the
Confederate lines, it is with pride that I no
ticed the sacred respect which our army pays
to the property of open belligerents. Until
the law confiscates their estates, I _trust that
the same admirable rule of conduct may be
everywhere observed. . .
In the course of the previous night' three
young men from the Secession army were
taken prisoners. They were 'frorn'yNorihern
Alabama, and expressed the greatest' contri
tion for having taken up arms against the Go
vernment, and said this feeling was generally
prevalent • among their comrades. 4 When
brought within the lines their first request was
to be permitted .to write to their mothers..
This was .roadily accorded, and their letters
were enclosed to the Hon. James Guthrie, at
Louisville, Kentucky, thence to be forwarded
to their destination. Such acts of kindness
should go far to convince the South that' the
Federal army is ce chastening whom it loveth,"
and that there is no feeling of vindictivenestf
or reienga animating the North. One of-these'
pritionera was'a highly educated young gentle:
man, and spoke very unreservedly of the con
dition of - the Secession . troops, who are all
heartily, sick and tired of the 11111181Und` war
into which they •have 'been' precipitated
by :crafty and ambitions leaders. When
they -come in sight of the banner of free.
‘dom, they have an unconquerable reluctance
to oppose it, and all arc anxious once again to
be under the protection of its broad folds.
The experiment of breaking up the American
Government has boon now fairly tried, tinder
circumstances of advantage 'which can never
occur again. It will prove a miserable failure;
41tirinatigators will be driven from tho country
'info exile, by the force of public opinion, and
their deluded followers will ao on become
loyal' citizens again,- and use their best endear,
vors to remedy,ltbe evils which they have,
'aided to bring upon the country. The rebel
lion is already scotched, and before the prt-.
'sent month• it will be killed in Virginia.. Afted
tlaat, the reopening of the Mississippi river,
the enfranchisement of Memphis and New
.Orleans, and the dispersing of the rebels un
der General Pillow and Bishop Polk will be
easily accomplished. This broad continent
cannot brook two Governmenta any more than
the heavens above it can be illumined by two
suns, or Mary Percy and Harry Monmouth
could both reign over England.

: statement made by Mr. Rua.
sell Involves a question of foot, in which I am

Mr. Russell's • statement, you have aiparenely
without inquiry, — ri
aharectesed, no t with your

you have used these severe expressions.. , ,
• It is dot the . fact; as yousuppose, that ne or two
isolated oases of Britian subjects who enlisted in
the army, and having thought better of ft, then in
yoked my protection, made the basis of Mr. Rus
sell's statement, or, as you call it, "monstrous In
vention." But it is the fact that since the 28th of
April to thepresent day, with very slight intermis
sion, many British subjects, some of whom were
only a few weeks in the country, were seized and
forcibly carried off from the:levee; ;steamboat.
landing, .boarding houses,, to the different
places of rendezvous of military companies. 'When
the men resisted, they were frequently- assatilteil,
knocked down, and; being overpow.ered, carried off ,
in farniture wagons to the headquarters of then
embryo sitinipinlei, where the - most' violent threats
were need to compel them''!toAdget the papers."
When these outrages oommenoed, I addressed in
the and of April and beginning of MaY,commu
nications to his ExcitdlenoY;" Gov. Moore, who at
enoe granted all the • retirees in hie:power, by or-
dering the discharge of 'hose men whose names I
could furnish as 'having been - illegally impressed.'
11ls -Excellency at the acme' time: expressed " his
unqualified condeurnation".of such outrages, and
stated, that, he , would endeavor to, put an end to.
them; as far ae'7245 had any 'control or authority

oonsiquence of the.very _flagrant 'Condi:Lot ,of the
recruiting equads,Who bad k@napied men in mid;

about thirty"five'.or forty of these inns- -

on !board of the Kent. In akhort time hundreds
'of persons could be seen wending their ,way to.the
Eastern Shore steamboat landing, on Light stroet,
foot of Camden, to await the arrival •orthe Ksnt.
At'a quarter past five o'oloeic , the 'steamer 'came
IMO her wharf, and the only, question: asked.. was,
" the Governor.on board?". A reply.in the 14-

-7 - .m passengers in the Kent:we were infotmed
that the Sght on the wharf; when, the Pioneer
tirotight off her prisoners, has been outrageously
:misrepresented. A slight set-to occurred between
four or five men, bat beyond a couple of black
.oyek and several bloody noses, the Governor in
forthed•us that nobody was hurt."
When the flgbt began Dr. James Muse, of Cam
bridge, approached GevernorKieks, and remarked
tbat it was. an outrage that peaoeable persons
shoild be arrested and removed to Fort McHenry
without a hearing. The Dopler finished his re
,Bl4s by stating to the Governor that he (the deo
.toi), always went armed. The Governor replied
• that molt was his case exactly (although he did not
;have as much se a penknife about him.) The .Go
xrptrror finally replied' Motile had authorized the
arrest of the parties Orr board•of the Pioneer, and
'Mit he would'not " give. an lush if
,all h-1 was •

to takdthe doctor all aback, ai he walked tkway,

Among those who had congregated on the wharf
previous to the arrivatof the %int, Wirmelloed
.seviiralladies oho have relatives residing in CM-.,
bridge, and who ,were fearful on , account of the
. raimerOClS rumors afloat, that the beautifnl
town of Cambridge had been.rwitioext to ashes, and
that loved ones bad perished amid the carnage.
'. A few minutes before 10 o'clock last night; the
tne,:band attached 'to Col. kforehead's regiment,
visited the Fountain Hotel, and complimented the
GOvernor by a beautiful serenade. After the
lad had played:several airs; his'ExCellenoy ap;
I -lodated at • a second-story - window', and in a few
brief - remarks, thanked the baud for the oomphi-
Vaent extended to him. .
He remarked that it - afforded hive' great happi
bin to be alive on this occasion, notwithstanding
hd had been killed by busy rumor. He was happy
that old Maryland was to-day where she is, in
.stead of being engaged in a fratricidal war,
as
mine "of her sister States are.' He expressed the
conviction that oar country will in a short U.
enjoy that peace and freedom which it enjosed six
months ago. Ho , manifested deep regret that our
once ,peaceful and happy country should be
plunged into the strife which now exists, but he
loithed forward to the time when all the world will
, recognise the United States as the greatest Power
in' existence.
He then alluded to the many malignant oharges
which have been preferred against hien by per
sona: who would, it passible, hurl' headlong our
State into the vortex which now threatens to an
vil& its. he repelled the charges hurled against
him; and gloried in the knoilledge that Maryland
,his remained true to the Union, and that she has
been rescued front the destrtiCtion which awaited
lir, as/applauded the course which she has par
.sued under the present tsoiatilis. He would not
under: - any oirouoistances contribute a feather's
weight to break up this glorious Union, which was
bought by the blood of our patriot sires.
Be remarked 'that he had been charged with
being a Black Republican and a Disunionist. He
denied both charges. He haslived a Union man,
sand when he dies he deSlies iii better shroud than
the stars and . st ripes. In conolusion, said he,
" had I died the other day, as was reported,
would have diedin advocating the maintenance of
this blessed Union.' His Excellency was fro.-
quently interrupted with aoplania, and retired to
the tone of it Hail to thi.Ohiel." 1
