The National Quarterly Review.
this
Thefourteenth number of i Review, completing
the seventh volume, has just appeared, and we no.
tics in it the hound judgment, fair criticism, eaten-
Sive knowledge of men and books, and calm fear
leafiness which drew attention to it at first. The
editorial '" novas& regal" has worn off, and it is
pleasant to report that the editor and proprietor
(Edward S. Sears, A. DIC.,) has not permitted Ms
success to make him careless or idle. He evidently
thinks that what is worth doing at all is worth doing
well. When we contract the ability, spirit, and
freshness of this periodical with the solemn plati
tudes of the effete North American Review, that high
respectable fossil, the contrast is overwhelmingly in
favor of the new and live publication.
The article on "The Insane and their treatment
past and present," properly leads off in this new
number. It is historical and practical, and shows
by what slow degrees good sense was permitted
to change the mode of treating the inhane—to
subotitute kindneos, comfort, and confidence for
harshness, chains, and stripes. This new and
humane system was commenced in France, soon
adopted in England, and speedily introduced
into this country. The reviewer correatly states
that it has long been successfully employed in
the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane (at West
Philadelphia) by Dr. Thomas S. Kirkbride, physi
ciamin.chiet and superintendent, and also in the
States
_of New York, Massachusetts, Comiecticut,
and Rhode Island. The reviewer, who had person
ally visited numerous insane asylums during the
last six months, strongly; contracts the reticence of
the superintendent of Bloomingdale Asvlum (New
York city) with the full information communicated
by Dr. Banner, of the Blaokwelpe Island Asylum,
and the "sullen, sad, and defiant" looks of the
patients in the first place with the " happy, joyous,
and communicative" manners of the insane in Black
well's Island. Another point of vast interest and
some importance is here discussed this is whether
insanity increases with the progress of civilization.
The Encyclopedia Britannica affirms that it does.
Here fit is contended that, far from people be.
coming insane in proportion as they progress in
civilization, the reverse is the fact. He says, "We
have proof enough that, taking any particular race
it is those who think least, not those who think
most, who are most liable to insanity. The stalls.
tics of France, Germany, England, Italy, and Spain,
prove= conclusively that the lowest class of farmers,
laborers, and domestic servants exhibit a far greater
tendency to Insanity than any other class whatever;
and in every instance in which similar statistics
have been carefully kept in this country, the. same
general results have been found." He 'adduces
proofs of this. Still the common belief has long ran
the other way. When Festus said, " Paul, thou art
beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad,"
I be expressed a - common idea of the time. The Re
viewer says, and gives data to prove it, " Let us
visit what asylum we may, in any part of the world,
if all classes are'admissible to it, we shall be sure to
find three-fourths of the inmates, if not of the Mite
rite, at least of the unthinking class." Dr. Kirk
bride's Reports go far to confirm this. The Reviewer
adds: "Even in those instances in which insane
patients are registered as physicians, lawyers, cler
gymen, authors, teachers, At., . 1 / 4 c., if due inquiry, be
made, it will be foend in nine cases out of ten, that
they are but half-educated persons, who, in their
sanest days, had little intellect ; whereas, if we ex
amine the history of the exceptions, those possessed
of both talent and education, or even genius of a
high order, it is more than probable that we shall
find the predisposition to insanity hereditaty. This
is true, for example, of Dean Swift, Cowper, the
poet, and Sir Isaac Newton."
A goseipping article on the Clubs:of London intro
duces a great many anecdotes of celebrated charms
term It is wrong, however, in saying that the Beef
steak Club was established in the latter half of the
seventeenth century, and that it arose from Dicky
Suett, the actor, having cooked a steak for his own
dinner, which he shared with some members of the
peerage. Dicky Suett, who died in 1781, was born,
not in the seventeenth century, but in 1765, and
therefore the Reviewer is in error. We believe that
the famous Peg Wellington, who died in 1760, before
Master Richard Suett was well out of petti
coats, is said to have founded the Beef-Steak Club,
about the year 1740. fAs to the Travellers' Club
having admitted Prince TalleyraiLd, he - was was en
titled to membership, having travelled more than
a thousand miles from home, inasmuch as he visited
the United States in 1793. The account of the orga
nization of Engliah club-life is accurate and full.
Other articles of interest here is "Cowper and his
Writings," in whibh a very -able estimate of "The
Task" is given, and a critical comparison is made
bet Ween Comper's and Pope's translations'of Ho- mer. The Reviewer gives the preference to Pope's.
" Feudalism and Chivalry" is a thoughtful and sug
gestive paper. Its cloeing sentence is full of truth
"wherever woman -has stepped from her sphere
and aspired to:be the controller instead of the com
panion of man, -- it will be found that the character
and con dition"of both have deteriorated ; and instead
of becoming, in the glowing words of the poetical
Burke, 'a lily among thorns in the briery wood,
with a smile pleasant as the light of morning, and
an eye like the gate of heaven,' she proves to be at
once his scourge and his bane."
Tbere is a paper upon Meteors, which gives their
history, and also treats of aerolites.
Another article, of more general interest, is a
searching investigation of the public-school system
of New York, and eepecially.of the Free Academy,
with twenty. six Professore and Tutors, at salaries
rating from $6OO to $3,000 a year. There evidently
is just room for improvement in the school system of
New York.
"Ancient Scandinavia and its Inhabitants" takes
us among the true progenitors of the Angio.Celtano
Anglo. Saxon race. There is a paper on the Social
Condition of the Working Classes in England, based
on Mr. Kay's book (lately republished by Harper &
Brothers), which will astonish American readere,
who generally believe that England is a land of
plenty, comfort, and prosperity.
Since Mr. Jeffrey wrote hie terrible article, in the
Edinburgh Review, exposing the humbug of Phre
nology; there has not been so hard a blow at the
system as the paper here, on the "Spuriouiness and
Charlatanism of Phrenology." It traces , the so.
called science from its commencement, accompanies
it on its travels, and, in short, does not leave it a leg
to stand on. There is no anatomical or medical
jargon in this criticism, but a . fair and searching
. view of the history, the founders, the theory, the
practice, and the charlatanisM of the "science."
Equally sharp is the paper upon what are called
" Commencements" of various Colleges, Seminaries,
arc., in this country—exhibitions peculiar to our
selves. The Reviewer says: ":The commencement
exercises consist of an exhibition ; but what is this
an exhibition oft No doubt it is designed to be an
exhibition of learning, culture, talent, &a. ; but it
sometimes puzzles even Mr. Barnum to exhibit
things that have no existence. It certainly shows
'MU:Ler learning nor talent to get up on a platform
and declaim, as if in a fury, a long rigmarole got by
rote, although we wouldpot at all undervalue the
practice or declaiming inpublic as a means of im.
proving the intonation and other qualities of the
voice." fie bestows discriminating praise upon the
instruction given in Harvard College; the College
of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Mass. ; the Universi
ty of New York, and Manhattan , College. But he
.
condemns not without cause, the pretension and
shortcoming of several other educational illßtitU
tions—especially of young ladiee , senanaries. Even
in the best of, these the pupils are crammed with use
less knowledge. Some years ago we attended the
Commencement (which really is the conclusion) of
the Rutgers Female Institute, New York, and when
the prizes were distributed, the highest (a gold medal)
was given to -a young, lady, for her attainments - in
the higher mathematics I We knee/ the recipient's
family, and are pretty well assured, from them, and
from herself,' (now a happy wife and mother), that;
from the hour she received the prize, she never once
opened any mathematical work. It is waste
of time and brain to teach girls what they
make no use- of in matures years. Yet, even in
third and foutth.rate female schools, "Philosophy o
is ostentatiously put forward as part Of the instruc
tion. Among - the Miscellaneous shorter criticisms
is a notice of "Helemar ; or, the Fall of Montezu
ma," a five.act Mexican tragedy - by Estelle'Anna
Lewis. It is not yet,published we suppose:. The
extracts given are full of promise. Estelle Lewis is,
perhaps, the nest female poet of her country, at pre
sent. Her narrative poems exhibit much talent;
but her sonnets are equal to those of Mrs. BroWn
ing and some of her lyrics are "beautiful exceeding
. .
The Nations/ Quarterly Review continues its fear
lees exposure of the chicanery with which
some insurance offices, as the public have
sorrowfully experienced, are conducted.
Reviewer says: "We presume,itie needless for.us
to repeat again that we do not regard all insurance
companies as cheats, or that we are not opposed to
the principle of insurance. We entertain no such
idea. On the contrary, none have more confidence
than we in legitimate underwriting; but'we sin
cerely believe' that tio-thirds of the insurance 'corn•
panies, home and foreign, doing business in New
York, deliberately swindle the public on as large a
icale as they can. Nor do we allege that they are
all new companies whose standard of Morality is
thus low; for this would
,be a glaring, as well as a
gross injustice to at least three or four companies
that are comparatively new, but vastly , more honest
and reliable than an equal number we could men
tion that are old enough, so to speak, to be their
grandfathers." . .
We have said sufficient to show on what grenade
we consider the National Quarterly Review the beat of
its class, for fair 'criticism and varied knowledge,
published in the United States. It hae got on with
out aid from or alliance with any book publisher,
and is, therefore, independent of, without being
inimical to, the influential body called " The Trade."
Mr. Sears has literally devoted himself to mai& hie

NEW YORK CITY'
[Correspondence of The Prem.]
New Yose, September 29, 186/L
PREVALENCE OF OEIM
One, whose occupation or desire may lead him to
review the daily history of loots) occurrences in our
city, cannot but be reminded most forcibly of De
Quincey's essay on murder, considered al one of the
fine arts. Insensibly he gains a thorough appre
ciation of that grim and unholy satire, which seem,
to pervade every line of the essay, and to understand
at last the hideous humor which forms a prominent
element in the sentiment Which great murders In
spire. There was much keen truth hidden in that
hateful yet fascinating jest at horrors which the
opium eater thrust BO unexpectedly upon his readers ;
and when he referred to startling episodes in crimi
nal history with pride and admiration, he did no
more than great communities are always dping—
looked upon crime with stony philosophy add im
perturbability. •
New York is callous to murder, just as Paris is cal
lous to suicide. And the fast that, at some dead
hour of the night, in some lonely street ; or that in
broad daylight, in the very heart of a business
thoroughfare, the hand of violence has smitten
down its victim or victims, is looked upon
with stoicism, anti forgotten in an hour. On Satur
day afternoon, William N. Brown, a prominent
Democrat, and keeper of a well-known political'
groggery, was shot down in Printing-house square.
This square is situated on the eaaterly aide of the
Park, and is-in full view from the Oity Hall and
Astor House. The Times' building forms its south
erly boundary. Here cluster the offices of many of
the newspapers The News, Tribune, &flats Zeilung,
Leslie's Iltusfraled, Caucttssian (formerly Day-Book),
and - Noah's Sunday Times. Brown kept the
" Pewler.bdug,” which is situated next door
but one to the Tribune office. This place is
daily resorted to by Democrats as a sort of
debating rendezvous, and was, upon the day of the
murder, well filled with thirsty debaters. It appears
that an angry altercation commenced between
Brown and a crippled soldier, named Nixon, just as
the former was about taking a carriage for home.
The evidence is conflicting as to its cause: By some
it is assigned to political argument; by others, to a
quarrel about some petty point of etiquette. Be
this as it may, however, Brown, becoming irritated
in the course of the quarrel, struck his opponent a
powerful blow in the face, which levelled him to the
pavement. The cripple , managed to regain his foot
(he has but one), and. Brown advanced again upon
him, when the fatal shot was fired. The victim tot
tered for a moment, and falling, tiled in a few
ments. Another account puts all the blame upon
the soldier, claiming that he was merely pushed
back, and fired thereupon. He is a man of genteel
appearance, seemingly quiet and inoffensive by na•
tore.
Since this murder, two others have been cOm
mated in the vicinity of this city, and one (probably)
in the city itself. For a time, crime seemed to heti+
been lulled by the deadly narcotic of the riots, but
suddenly it is roused again, and the chronic feast of
horrors has recommenced. As for the lesser crimes,
they are without number. The Chivadiers d'indus
trie, having returned from their season of rustication
at the watering places, where they have been woo
ing amorous pocket-handkerchiefs, wallets, and
dainty articles of vertu amid the everlasting breezes,
and beneath the cool shade of overhanging trees,
have returned with recruited energies, wiser, and
better pickpockets than before. Altogether, crime
is flourishing, and the value of human life has de
clined by a vast percentage below its summer quota
tions among the ' , friends."
THE DRAMATIC SENSATION.
Tonight New York is to stand upon its bead at
Niblo's. Manager Wheatley introduces to the pub
lic Mlle. Yeatvali as Gamea, the Jewish mother, and,
es a natural consequence, there is a furore of ex
citement throughout the critical and pleasure. seek
ing circles. Vestvali has always been a pet, trut an
unremunerated pet of New York ; and if those who
praised her at the clubs and in society forget to leave
their sentiment and postage currency with the trea
surer of her late operatic enterprise, the fact may be
set down as one of the notable phenomena of human
nature rather than any intentional slight to her ta
lents. For some time nothing has been talked of or
anticipated but this ddbut, and even the knowledge
that Mr. Lester Wallack is about to produce a new
drama, whose beauty cannot equal that of his mag
nificent whiskers, has fallen coldly on the public ear
for this season. s
Mr. Bandmann closed hie engagement at Niblo's
last night, with "Hamlet in the latter faring rather
badly. Forrest still continues on alternate nights.
THE FOREIGN FLEETS
The Russian frigates in our harbor are daily at
tracting the most intense interest. They are all
noble-looking vessels. It is rumored amsng the
steamer men from Liverpool that the French squad
ron is soon to be here, also the British West-India
fleet, under command of Admiral Panne. From this
it will appear that somothing peculiar is, stirring, in
certain quarters, but the what, why, and wherefore,
no one even venturei to guess. The visit of the
Russians, however, is generally accepted by our
citizens as having a positive bcaring.upon interna
tional affairs ; whether truly or :not, those who are
in a position
for judging must decide. Quint 9aioe7

The Couipetency of our Oflicers—A Letter
from Major General Casey:
Wesitivaxotr, September* 1863:
To Thomas Webster, Esq., Chairman of Supervisory
Committee for Recruiting Colored Regiments:
Man Sin : In conversation with you a few days
since I promised to elaborate somewhat the ideas
which I expressed with regard to_the appointment
of open tor colored troops.•
Military men, whose opinions are worth having,
will agree in this, that to have good and efficient;
troops it is indispensable that we should have good
officers. The material for soldiers which the loyal
States have furnished during this rebellion, I have
no hesitation in saying is the best that the world has
ever seen. Such men deserve to have officers to
command them who have been educated to the mill.
tory profession. But few men are really fit to Qom•
mand men who have not had such an education. In
default of this, as a sufficient nuniber •of such men
cannot be found in the country, the number has to
be made up from the best - available m sterial. In
order to ascertain whether or not the aspirant posr
seems the proper knowledge and capacity for com
mand it is necessary that be should be examined toy
a board of competent officers. This fact, that the
life and death of the men of the regiment is so inti.
mately connected with the competence of its offi
cers, is not sufficiently appreciated by the comma-
The board for the 'examination of officers for co
lored troops, over which 'I preside, consider three
things as indispensable before recommending an offi
cer, viz: Good moral charactei; physical Capacity,
true loyalty to the country.
.11, person possessing these indispensable qUalifica,
lions is now submitted to an examination as 'to his
knowledge of tactics and capacity for command.
The following grades are entertained : '

_ . .
and the recommendation for appointment made ac
cording to the applicant's merit.
We have endeavored, to the beat of our ability,
to make this recommendation without partiality,
favor, or affection: We consider alone, 'in making
our awards, the ability of the- person to serve his
country, in the duties appertaining to the office.
If, in the opinion of the Board, the person is not
possessed of sufficient knowledge or capacity to
till either of the above-named offices to the advan
tage of his country he is rejected, notwithstanding
any influence he may be able to bring to bear in his
case. Let it be remembered that se al alone isnot midi.
dent but what we require for a good officer is zeal,
combined with knowledge. No ordinary man can
properly fill the office of colonel of -a regiment. To
acquire that knowledge of tactics which would fit
him to command his regiment as it ought to be in
all situations requires much study and practice, and
it is by no means easy. He should, besides, possess
good administrative qualities in - order that affairs
should run smoothly in the regiment, and the al.
cers and privates be as contented and happy as the
circumstances admit. - -
Nor can too much trouble be taken properly to
prepare persons to fill the responsible positions of
officers. Each State should have its military
academy. In the'meantime, much good can be done
by instituting a school for the instruction of persons
(especially those who have had some experience in
the service), who may have the requisite capacity
and zeal to serve their country 'with 'advantage.
Eschew all humbuggery, - and mere pretension, and
let merit be the test of - advanceent.. Let it be im
pressed deeply on the conscience'of every man of in
fluence or authority, that• when he planes in com
mand an incompetent officer he is guilty of man-
The country has lost millions of treasure. and
thousands of lives, by the incompetence of officers.
We have many enemies, on this earth, besides the
Southern rebels. The fate of free institutions, not
only , in our own , country, but in other lands ; the
y
destin of millions unborn depend upon our ability.
to maintain this contest to a successful issue:
against all our enemies ;both foreign and domestic.
The system of examination instituted .by. this
Board, in my opinion, should be extended to the
whiteors well as colored troops.
Many of those who have been uesuccessful in the
examination before the Board have, no doubt in
come cases, felt aggrieved, as also their friends. We
have' established a - system for examination of offi
cers, the good effects of which are already apparent
in the organization of the colored regiments in the
trout.
In the performance of the responsible and not
always agreeable duties, as presiding . over this
Board, I have always endeavored to be guided by a
conscientious regard tor the good of the country, and
I have every.conlidenoe that a'just and intelligent
public will award to us the'just measure of their ap•
probation. I am, sir,
very respectfully,

BALTIMORE, Sept. 30.—The American has the R~ieh•-
a mond Enquire of yesterday, containing 'a despatch
from Charleston dated the 'lBth. It says
"The enemy's Morris Island batterles were firing
slowly at the ruins of Sumpter to-day, for the first
time for several weeks, No damage done."
Fort Johnson-The Works on Sullivan's
Island.
lYfounre ISLAND, S. C., Sept. 214.1883.—Y0rt John
son, on account of a favorable position, has figured
conspicuously in the siege operations from the very
commencement. When our parallels- were being con
structed, and before the necessary traverses were
tbrown up, the workmen were exposed to the lire of
Johnson more than that of any other work. as the
sappers advanced nearer - and nearer to- Wagner,
Johnson became more furious, and threw shot as if
the weal or woe of the rebel cause depended solely
upon its efforts. At that time Johnson was scarcely
heeded by our gunners, the grand points of attack
being Sumpter, Wagner, and Gregg. But- now, ice
asmuch as Morris Island has changed, proprietors,
and - the works which occasioned so much tine' artil
lery practice have shared the fate of the soil, time is
afforded to bestow a little closer attention on points
nearer Charleston. Just to teat the range yesterday,
one of our gunners on the left fired his piece twice,
putting a wholesome quantity of metal into Johnson
each time. That simply shows what can be done,
and proves tbe correctness of Gen. Gilmore's re
mark, that the enemy cannot shell him without being
shelled.
The rebel works on Sullivan's Island have been
silent for some time. It cannot be doubted that all
the damage done to the works by the iron-clads two
weeks ago has been thoroughly repaired, and if an
other attack should be made, it will only be an at
tempt to achieve that which was once gained. It is
useless to deny the immense advantage secured by
the rebels since the last attack on the Sullivan's
island batteries. They have not been molested for
a moment in their work of strengthening and build
ing, and if every little mole-hill is not converted into
a bastion ere this, it is - not because time and oppor
tunity interfered with the execution of the design.
Port Moultrie is probably stronger to-day thCIU it
was before the attack, for the simple reason that it
has been let alone too long.

are not authorized by me or any of my family, and
that therare not approved by us. We hold that a

where he has fallen. I shall, therefore, be much
obliged, General, if, in case the matter is brought to
spur cognizance, you will forbid the desecratton of
my son's grave, and prevent the disturbance of his

HEADQVARTERS DEPARTMENT OP THE SOUTH,
Morris Island, S. C., Sept. o, 1863.
F. G. Shaw, Esq., Clifton, Staten Island, N. Y.:
SIR : I have just received your letter expressing
the disapprobation of yourself and family at any
effort to recover the body of your eon, the late Col.
Shaw, of the 54th Maseachtu3etts Volunteers, buried
in Fort Wagner, and requesting me to forbid any
desecration of his grave or disturbance of his re
maths.
Had it been possible to obtain the body of Col.
Shaw immediately after the battle in which he lost
his life, I should have sent it to his friends, in de
ference to a sentiment which I know to be widely
prevalent among the friends of those who fall in
battle. although the practice is one to which my
own judgment has never yielded assent.
The views expressed in your letter are so conge
nial to the truest instincts of a soldier as to com
mand not only, my cordial sympathy, but my re
spect and admiration. Surely no resting place for
your eon could be found more fitting than the scene
where his courage and devotion were so conspicu
ously displayed.
I beg to avail myself of this opportunity to ex
press my deep sympathy for yourself and family in
their great bereavement, and to assure you that on
no authority less thanyour own shall your son's re
mains be disturbed. , Very reepectfully, your obe
dien servant, Q. A. GILMORE,
Brigadier General Commanding.

The movement to erect a monument over Colonel
Shaw's remains in Fort Wagner is progressing fa,
vorably. The ist South Carolina Regiment has con
tributed for this purpose about a thousand dollars,
to which the coloren people of Beaufort, in reaponse
to General Saxton's appeal, have added three hun
dred dollars more. Otherregiments will increase the
amount to three or four.thousand dollars.

TENNESSEE.
The following quotations from a letter recently re
ceived from a Massachusetts man now : in Tennessee,
afford very grad/ping evidence of thee . spread of
anti-slavely opinions in that State:
NAMELVILLIC, Tenn. '
Sept. - 11, 1863.
* * I find here a large and increasing anti
alavery sentiment, as decided and active as at the
North, which needs only to be organized to expres
sion to become very effective. Here are congrega
ted a large number of men, formerly slaveholders,
who will be so again from necessity if the institu
tion is not abolished, who are now as strong in our
faith and more sell-sacrificing than our beat men.
lt would be of, no :use to send Wendell Phillips
here, except it should be to learn of them They
tell me that there are many others all through the
Slate. Mr. told me that he had been an anti
slavery man foryeara, and since <the rebellion broke
out he had found more than five hundred men Who
entertained the same . opinions,s but dared not coin
municate them. He is ready to circulate any docu
ments that may be furnished to him,
Mr. -- is a slaveholder who left Louisville be
cause it was dangerous. His slaves are all there.
He left them to take care of themselves. He says :
"I was a pro slavery man before the rebellion, but
timed against it as soon as they brought our State
in. They seduced my, only son into the ranks. I
recovered his blackened remains front a Mississippi
swamp. I wept over them, but tears brought no re
lief, for he died a traitor. If he could have died an
honest death I could have ;been comforted. I will
never forgive the rebels for this." lie now enters
heartily into the work of reconstructing Pennessee
on free.labor. This State can be made, by the co
operation of the War Department, - the nucleus of
the free-labor system for the South. * * - *
On Monday evening last 'a 'meeting of one hundred
men of this State was held in the State House in
this city. One old man said he had been a slave
holder and a hard master. He had lost all his slaves,
and it was the pimishment of God for his sins. God
had permitted this rebellion as a punishment for
slavery, and He would continue to - punish them until
they repented and abolished it. These remarks:were
loudly applauded in Nashville by Tennesseans.—N.
NORTH CAROLINA.
The Political. Campaign.
The election of members to the rebel Congress '
takes place in that State November next. The
. ~
people ~are divided into , parties, and the' ontest is
warm and shatp. The `original Secession radicals,
who support every measure of the rebel Adminietrer
tion, are called destructives ' while the Conserver
tivea favor putting an end to the war. Among the
Conservatives are such men as William A. Graham,
Whig candidate for Tice President on the... Scott
ticket in 1812; Gen. Alfred Deckery, Whig member
of the Legislature, Congress, and candidate for Go-
vernor ; Ilon. Medford Brown, formerly Democratic
United States .Senator; Hon. Thomas Settle,
Chief.
Justice Pearson, Hon. Robt. P. Dick, United States
District Attorney . under Pierce's Administration ;
Hon. R. S. Donnell, formerly Whig member of Con-.
gress, and men of like high character and national
reputation.
The canvass is waged with great energy. One of
the conservative candidates, Gen. James i ll. Leach,
a member of the Thirty. sixth Congress, in an elabo
rate speech at Wentworth, Forsyth county, advo
cated an armistice, and declared that—
" The idea,was mere nonsense that peace propoials
Would nerve the North to greater exertions ; that
the Yankees had been doing their best all the time.
that he was fighting with the sword in one hand and
holding out the olive branch of peace in the other;'
that, in his opinion, if a united effort was made by
our conservative men and ablest statesmen; -*: * he
believed, before heaven, it (peace) could and would
be blought about in less than ninety days."
Pdeetings are held in all parts of the State, and
vety significant resolutions are adopted. At a large
convention of the people of Chatham, Orange, and'
Alamance counties, they passed the following:.
Resolved That we wit, cast our suffrages for no man
to represent ns in the Consrees of the Confederate States,
u ho declares himself opposed to negotiation and a gene
ral peace convention.
Resolved, That no man shall stay at home and rave.'
cute FeCe,SiOn WhO laces his influence to get other men
into the army, entitle money to keep himself out.
Resolved, That.tee are opposed to sending any more
men to Congreesyho are in favorer prosecuting the war
until the last man is killed and the last dollar spent; ex
cept thendelves and their dollar.
On the tithe law, requiring one-tenth of the pro
ducts of every farmer, this Convention
Resolved, 'mat we do not intend to pay tithes to Brad
for a or any other person.
he following are resolutions adopted at another
meeting i
.RasoirEd, That, In our opinion, illr. Davis and hie
Cabinet alio Congress ought to take the Held with Gent
ral Lee and his army.
Resolved, Teat we do not expect to receive anything
fair or honorable from the Government at Richmond.
Resolved, That we do believe that the editor of the
Richmond Enquirer, and John Brine (of the Raleigh
Repister), and John Snelman (of the RalelghState.Tour
nal), ought to be. put in the army, there to stay until
peace is made, and all the leading deatriZetives with
them, for they are doing Mere harm than good. -
• The Raleigh Standard gives the proceedings Of &-
meeting in lredell county, from which we take these
resolutions: ' •
-' Resolved, That negotiations for peace in time of war,
Ms a motion to adjourn a public assembly, ban never
be ruled out of order.
Resolved, That in our opinion it would indeed be a
fearful alternative as a last resort; recommended by "A
Matron" in the 11 edell Exprery,to become colonies of
France, a r stion which has abolished the Institution of
slavery throughout her domilliOns, and a re3Ople more
fickle and more elven to mob-law than any-other civili
zed nation on earth, and : a nationwho have Within the
upnt year plsced a destart of ,the lloasi of Austria

Resolved, That, one or two of the, former _editors and
composit re of the half ebeet published at Statesville,
known as the Iredell Express, can, in our opinion: be
better spared to reinfene Gen. Lee than any other per

we do pray the privilege of. paying: it in Confederate
money. • • • ""

there was' something ludicrous in two persons;
standing on either side of a Stone wail, jabberfeg at •

should leave the path, and come over to her side,
which I did. Then she took up a line of march, and
I followed; to see what should come of it. Across
the field, up the hillside, down the hillside, we went

Hon. George Harrington, Assistant to the Score
tary of the Treasury at Washington, sailed in the-
Cunard steamer of the twentythird ultimo, for Eng
land, on a three months' leave of absenee, for his
health. This distinguished State officer takes
abroad with him, fortunately, one whom it will be
a great pleasure to present to the brilliant circles o
London diplomatic society—Krs. Harrington (so
well known at our capital, as the "Miss Mary
Scott,' , of 6lonel Seaton's admired family), a lady
holding a position, both before and since her mar
riage, as the most brilliant conversationist our couri-.•
try ever produced Surrounded as she will be, is
London, by the diplomates and travelers who have
been in her train at Washington, her former Mende
and acquaintances, it will be a great pride and
pleasure to the Americans abroad that our country
women are so charmingly represented by this new
arrival, in the other bright circles of. the English-
Court. We only hope that Nr. Harrington will be
as muchbenefited in health, during this brief visit
to I..oridon, as he will be cordially welcomed, in that
appreciative capital, by the hospitable and admtring
entertainers of hiihself and Mra. Harrington.
—The New York Independent compares Charts
Sumner with Edmund Eurke, and says: "Unlike
Burke, he has established himself on the corner
stone of human brotherhood; he has suffered for
that truth ,• he labors for its triumphant expression
in this and every nation. This speech has many
proofs or the increasing vitality of his principles.
His graceful recognition of the black, as brave and
beautiful. shows his unceasing fealty to4ikt offensive
truth. His brave declaration that "our country,
when enfranchised, will stand forth to assert the
dignity of . man, and wherever any member of the
human family is to be succored, there its voice will
reach as the voice of Cromwell reached across'
France, even to the persecuted mountaineers of the
Alps,' is a prophetic reversal of all our past blis
ters —a history of a selfish neutrality which has
spade us -deaf to the cry of France, Greece, Italy,
Hungary, Ireland, and many ; ther States struggling
in chains for a liberty like our own. For Croat
well's intervention was an armed intervention, and
such, he says, will ours be. His boldest declara
tion, that the Eepublic can know no bounds to its
empire over a willing world,' is the proper cap
stone at once of his speech, his principlea, and his
life."
The Herald's correspondent with the Army of the
Cumberland writes: '
"Commanding the Ist brigade of Baird's, or rather
Rourseau's division, is a colonel named Scribner,
his regiment being the 38th Indiana. In three im
portant battles this officer has distinguished himself
highly. At Perryville he won from Rousseau, the
hero of that day, the proud title of 'gallant little
Scrib,' and it has clung to him to this day. At Stone
river, with the came officer, he aided to stem and
stop the current that swept McCook to, the 'rear.
On the Chickamauga, with his same brigade, he has
fought through two days with three wounds re
ceived on the first, and has slung to the field from
the beginning. Devoted heart and soul to the noun
tty, his services and wounds should gain him teat
reward of promotion which ttie combined recom
mendation of Rosecrans, Thomas. Rousseau, Crit
tenden, McCook, Stanley, and Mitchell failed to ob
tain from the President. ,
It is not enough for those who bleed and suffer
to know that the country recognizes its indebtedness
to them. The representatives of the country should
give him - visible tokens of that gratitude. It is not
the 'guinea stamp' of rank which these ambitious,
hard.laboring, hard-fighting soldiers want. It is the
substantial recognition : by promotion that tells pos
terity they rose by merit. They wish to say to their
children, began a contain ; but I did not remain
so. , There is no man In the Army by the Cumber
land to-day more worthy of such recognition than
gallant little Scrili.,
-- There died lately, at the hospital of the Hotel
Dien, in Paris, a very old woman, bent almost
double, who was well known in the Faubourg St.
Germain as La vieille au bouquet, so called because for
years and years she bad been seen every day slowly
walking to the Montpamasee cemetery with floWere
in her hand. This woman, whose name wall
Frangoise Frasgois, was in her youth'engaged to
be married to Betties, one of the famona four ser
geants of Rochelle, and she had the courage to fol
low him to the scaffold, from which it is said he
threw her a bouquet. She lived at No. 94 Rue do.
Cherche Midi, received no visitors, and attracted
little attention ; only every day she made a pilgrim
age to the cemetery, where the tomb of the four ser
geants is to be seen.
—Peter Cooper has written a long letter to Gov.
Seymour. He avows himself a "Democrat, nearly
73 years of age." He-argues strongly in defence of
the proclamation of emancipation, and given Gov.
Seymour the following, we think, unmerited im
portance:
"I do nothnow a single man in the whole nation
who has the power to do so much to strengthen the
hands of the Government as yourself. Your efforts
may prevent foreign interference in our affairs, and
enable our Government the sooner to brim: the re
bellion to an end. The influence, you can exert
would do an , inuitense arsounrof good by persuad
ing our Democratic friends to give their whole
strength to a more vigorous prosecution of the war.".

services.
Mrs. General Rosecrans is described as a lady
of excellent presence and dignity, a lady above

P.ItTRIt COOPIM ON 'SLA.V.KRY.—The New York
philanthropist. for the greater portion of his life a
Democrat, writes to Governor Seymour:
"I sincerely believe that tea years will not pass
after the South obtains relief from the paralyzing
and corrupting power of holding Africans In slavery
with so large a portion of their- own children in the
same bondage, before they.will erect monuments In
honor of their deliverance from so great an evil.
This opinion is confirmed by the actual experience
of a gentleman now in this city, who, after having
liven twentpflve years in the South, and having
constantly employed hundreds of negroes, gives noel
his unqualified opinion that the South would be en
riched by the liberation of its doves. He says the
South has untold wealth within its reach which it
never can obtain while it works men as slaves. This
opinion Is further confirmed by one of the largest su
gar planters in the South. This gentleman, aince
the war was commenced, found one morning all hie
negroes surrounding his house, when one of them
informed Mm that they had "eluded to have wages
after dia.' Their.reaster, after some parley, agreed
to give them seven dollars per month, which they
ccepted and went to their work. This same master
iLformed Judge Woodruff, of New Orleans, after
getting in his crop, that be had never got it in so
well bud so cheaply before. I believe it will he found
that so soon as the South is secured to freedom, the
colored peo'ple of the North will rapidly emigrate to
the South, andfurnish an abundance of cheap labor
of all kinds."
