“-The We and . Times'of John Husskof, the B&
Bernina Beforreation of the Fineenth Century,” by
E. IL• Gillett, liss been published: intwo volumes'
Biro, by Gould sr.' Linceln, Boston. The subject has
- here been treated by a writer' of considerable erudi
tion, much industry; thorough knowledge'of his sub
int, great patience in research, and free command
of -language. Mr. Gillett has spared no-pains to
produce a work, at once full and faithfuloind , we
predict for it a'high and permanent position among
the standard.histories in which the present time ind
oor own country' '
have been so productive. Not find
.ing the name in Dr. Allibone'd Dictionary of Authors,
we presume that this in kr. Gillett's tint published
book.. It is rare for a writer, at the first spring,. to ,
attain a place so high as Mr. Gillett is destined'to
occupy among living authors.
The life of John Huai really, is the history of the
'Heformation before the time of Luther. Hun and ,
:ferom'e Of Piague, joint laborers in the vast field of
„religious reform, worked together and were mar..
`tyred nearly at the same time, a century before
.Mertin Luther, binke from the Church Qf Rome.
Hass, p native of Bohemia, perished at the stake,
July 14116, • at the early age of forty.two. A learned
man; and a popular preacher at Prague, the writings'
of Wickliffe greatly impressed him, and he spoke
and aeted sMainst the Papacy, preaching and writing
against a bull issued by Popa John XIII 1., autho
rizing a minadirmainst Ladislaus, the excommuni
cated King of Igardes. He was backed in.this op
position by Jerome of Prague, and when placed under
an interdict by the Pope, appealed to a General Coun
cil, to atteild which he went to Constance, under' a
mate-conduct from the Emperor Sigismund, but was
there arrested in November,l4l4, despite of the re-
Monstrancee of the Bohemian and Polish nobles,
brought to trial in the following July, and, on' de
olining to recant, was convicted and burned as a
heretic. Sigismund, who gave him the safe-ctinduct
to Constance, presided at the trial, conviction, and
judgment;-hie Majesty must have had a face of
brass and a heart of stone. The whole of the fast
and a small portion of the second volume of- Mr:
Gillett's book is devoted to the biography.of Hun.
What follows traces the Reformation in Bohemia
down to the close of the Thirty Years' War, A. D.
MO; including the rise of the Moravians and the
Reformation in Germany, by Luther and others.
,
"Though he treats of , a great religious movement,
Mr. Gillett writes in a liberal and catholic spirit.
He has fully investigated his subject, and the result
is a work which the world will not willingly let die.
It is 'rendered easy for reference by 'a copious and
excellent index. .
Mr. William Leonhard Gage, who lately gave to
the world a good translation of Professor Heinrich
Steffin's silly-and •unsatisfactory autobiography,
now has' tranalated an infinitely better German
wink, "Geographical Studies," by the late Proles
nor Carl Ritter, of Berlin. He has rendered it into
admirable English, whereas:the original is very
much involved. Mr. Gage studied under Ritter,
then Professor of History in the University of Ber
lin, five yeara ago, and bait, therefore, been addi
tionally capable of sketching his life. He died in
September, 1859, aged eighty, and shares with Hunt
boldfthe credit of being founder of the now gene
rally. accepted system of Physical Geography. The
Cosmos of one and the Erdkunde of the other
opened a new and wide field for thought, research,
and philosophical deduction. The volume, pub.
Bulked by Gould & Lincoln, unfortunately has no
index. A portrait of Carl Ritter faces the title-
=Mr. William GOWans, of New York, who disfi
gures his cover and title•page with a sprawling
effigy of a pigeon with a letter in its bill, has re
printed, in an otherwise neat volume, Goethe's
shorter poems and ballads, translated by Professor
Aytoun and Theodore Martin, authors of the famous
and amusing " Bon Gaultier'a Ballads." Of course,
the whole of GoOthe's lyrics are not given here;
many of his minor peems are not above mediocrity,
some are not suited for English readers, and some
cannot fairly be done justice to in any translation.
There has been some judicious sifting and window
ing, and the result is a volume of good poetry, by a
great:writer, spiritedly translated. In one'instance,
however, we have very plain prose broken up into
short lines, to-look like poetry. :Here is a sample
(p. 136), entitled " Limits of Humanity." It opens

lowly
inclining - -
In infantine awe.
Now this, pitifully deficient in rhyme and rythin,
is simply poor prose. This has no euphony, and if
printed as prone would be bald and. commonplace.
English poetry happily does not. recognize such
inane balderdash. The only thing at all resembling
it can be found in the small volume of small
"poems," by Thomas Babie Aldrich, published
in, New York some months ago, which has a song
obnimenCing,
'I have placed a golden
Bing upon
the hind
01 the blithest little
Lady in the land."
The severance, here, of the adjectives golden and
from the nouns ring and lady, is very much in
the manner of the translation of the "Limits of
Humanity," where indifferent and rolling are simi
larly,divided from hand and clouds. But Goethe was
a great poet, in general, whereas Aldrich is but a
mere rhyme-spinner, a mocking-bird of song, rarely
successful, except when he borrows ideas from Shel
ley and Keats and imitates their manner. His
quatrain about the "little lady in the land" evi•
dently is_ copied, as to construction, from Dr, Sohn•
son's famous lines, -
" I put my hat noon my head
And walked into the strand.
And there I met another man
With his hat in his hand."
W. A. Townsend, New York, has published "The
Physician's Mind-Book of Practice for 1864," by Wil
liam Elmer, M. D. This useful vale 'mecum appears an
nually, and the present is the seventh volume. Some
iinprovements have been made, without at all alter.
ing the character of the work. These include a 1.1.11
index of, the common names of remedial agents ; a
new method 4n cases of. Asphyxia, in place of
Marshall Hall's ; a slight change in the arrangement
of the Classification of Diseases, and a large change
in directions for their treatment. As it now standi,
the Hand-Book of Practice will be invaluable to
Physicians; its coMpactness and portability are addi
tional advantages.

Hem. R.ld, Agent of ExehAnge," Richmond; Ye :
Srn : I em in receipt Of y our communication of the
20th instant, the tenor of which induces Lae to make
some explanatory statements of facts, wittrwhieb, It
would seem, you need-to be reminded. '
The system of exchanges of prisoners of War, de
- terroinee in the existingcertel, was first interrupted
?by the declared purpose of the Confederate Genera
ment to make certain distinctions in the treatment
of a` particular class ortroope, officers, and; men,
in violation of the provisions of the cartel. Thiaap
pears to have-been the first - step towards the irregu
larities which have- culminated in your unequivocal
declaration, reported by me - to My Government , on
the 13t11 instant, that"you-will proceed to declare
exchanges whenever you conneientiously feel that
you 'have the right' to dee so, for the purpose - of
putting men into the field.:' , •
There can be no objectionsto your - acting commie
entiously in any given case-so long as • your con
science is enlightened and guided by those laws of
war which require obediexce between belligerents
to eolemnetgreements entered into , by authorized'
commissioners acting in the name , of .their respec
tive superiors. But, if you mean by the expression,
- "your conscientious senate of rtght," , to substitute
this sense of right for the requirements of ,an exist
ing cartel, I can'by' no Means concede to you that
right • and if you do not mean this I cannot under.
stand what you do mean by so,vague and generals
declaration. Judging by your recent proceedings,
it seems that you have declared exchanged all Con
federate officers and soldiers on parole within what
you claim as your lines up to a very recent date,
without having any proper right so todo, either un
der the cartel or under the laws of war. •
The history of this matter, as I understand it, is
briefly this : While my predecessor, on duty at this
place, was here in dlicharge 'of the duties now com
mitted to me, you, at one time, made a'declaration
of exchange embracing no great number of prisoners
of war, not in accordance with the rquirements of
the cartel, and you invited Colonel Ludlow, my pre
decessor,' to make a corresponding declaration - of
equivalents. Such a declaration was made by Colo
nel Ludlow; doubtless, without anticipating -the
magnitude of the evil; which appears now as the re
suit of that'departure from the cartel - first inaugu
rated by yourself. Subsequently to my, coming on
duty here, the events, of the war threw upon your
hands a large body of paroled officers and men (over
20,000) captured by General Grant at Vicksburg,
and not 'long afterwards sonic 6000 or more, clap
•tured by General Banks at Port Hudson.
Suddenly, and without any proper conference or
undereianding with me, and but a few days prior to
the important events a tChickaManga, as if forthe
express purpose of increasing the force of General
Bragg against' Gen. Rosecrans. you gave me notice
that, on the next day after the date of that notice,
you would declare exchanged a large portion of the
troops which had been captured by General Grant.
When your declaration was made it covered en in
determinate number of• troops, designated by com
mands, brigades, divisions, and corps, no definite
number of either officers or men being designated.
Up to that time you bad delivered at City Point .a
certain number of prisoners of war, for - which you
bad receipts, by which you ' must have known the
number you might claim the right to discharge front
' their parole. You did not think proper to limit
yourself to this number, nor, in any proper manner,
. did you refer to it, but made your declaration of ex
change in such indefinite terms as made it next to
certain that you did not to be governed by
the cartel. -
On referring to the data furnished by the reports
of .General, Grant, and now in the hands of the
commissary general of prisoners at Washington, it
was ascertained that you had discharged from pa
role, by your declaration, every considerable num
ber of your men, over and - above any claim you
might.pretend to, founded on receipts for prisoners
•
of war delivered from the South according to the
cartel.
Without referring to fractions, it appeared, from
the best data in our hands, that you had discharged
three for two, or one-third more than you were mai
tied to.
, You suggested that I should make a correspond
ing declaration of exchange, when, as I suppose,
you must have known you had not delivered to me,
nor had you valid paroles of our men sufficient to
cover the number declared exchanged by yourself,
and, when I proceeded to make the declaration
extending ' to - those men you had delivered, and
stated to you my objection to yourproceedings, you
insisted that you had valid , parolee for more than
-the number , that you had declared exchanged,
though you failed to produce those paroles or to
give any account or histore , of them ; and,you then
proceeded tom ake a further declaratioirof exchange,
ignoring the cartel altogether-ebasing your action
,01,...the whole pro.
ceeding - reetleg; suppose .you will say, upon
your sense of right, as if you were the only party.
having , a right to an opinion on the subject—
acting evidently in anticipation of the for
mal declaration referred to at the commence•
ment of this - communication,- . _ "that you will
proceed to make declarations .of exchange
for the purpose of putting troops into the field when
ever you think proper ;" and, having now exhausted,
by a declaration of exchange, the paroled prisoners
in your hands, you propose to me the delivery of
prisoners of war in our hands, for whom you have
no equivalents—or, comparatively, but very few—in
order, as it were, that you may obtain posses
sion of many thousands more men of your own,
delivered or on parole, for the purpose of declaring
them also exchanged, and putting them into the field,
not in conformity with the existing cartel, nor in ac
cordance with the usages of war, but whenever, in
your individual judgment, you may think it proper
Respectfully, your obedient servant,

Brig.. Gen. and Com'r for Exchange.
CONPEDERATR STATES OP AMERICA.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
RICHMOND October al, 1963.
Brigadier &nerd S. A. Meredith, Agent of Exchange:
: Your communication of the 29th inst. has
been received, and its extraordinary and groundless
statements read with surprise.
You first represent me as having informed you
that I would proceed to declare exchanges whenever
I conscientiously felt, that I had the right to do so,
for the purpose of putting. men into the field. In
another part of your letter Cam charget with having
stated that I would proceed to make declarations of
exchange for the purpose of putting troops into the
field, whenever 'I thought proper. Both of these
paragraphs are between quotation marks, to - indi
cate that I had communicated them. Moreover,
they are mentioned as being my - " uneoutvocal de
claration.ll Upon a faithful examilLS'isirrsaf my cor
respondence with you and your predecesio4 I can
End no instance in which such language has been
used by me. Will you inform me of the date of any
such communication, or furnish me with a copy of
it 1 If you cannot, you will certainly deem me Jug
tided in denouncing your, statement as utterly with
out foundation in truth. '
You are wrong, also, in your , statement , that the
-Vicksburg capture was subsequent to your "coming
to dutN ,, at Fortress Monroe. I received official com•
munications .from Lieutenant Colonel Ludlow as
late as July 22,1563, weeks after the Vicksburg sur
render, and none from you until the %th of the same
You charge that the declaration of exchange bear
ing date September 12;1863, was made "as if for the
express purpose of increasing the force of General
Bragg 'against - General Roaecrans." - This, also, is
untrue: :=The declaration was not published until
several days after. the 12th, although it- bore that
date. Not one of the officers or men named in that
declaration of eXchange was on the battle-field Of
Ohlokamauga.
You further say I must have known that I had
not delivered to you, nor had I valid paroles of your
men sufficient to cover the number declared ex
changed by mg. I knew exactly . the contrary, and
so informed you. - On the 12th of September. 18ee,
in - annotmcing the declaration of exchange I would
make on the following day, I wrote to you that I
had Pin my possession more valid paroles of your
ffi
ocers aria men than would be an equivalent for
the officers and men enumerated in the exchange
notice.” I have made the same statement to you
MOTS than once since. lam prepared 'to prove that
it was true each time it was uttered. .-
- You say your declaration of exchange extended
to those whom I had delivered. If you mean that it
was limited to snob, you are incorrect; for it de
clared exchanged all officers and-men of. the United
States army captured and paroled at any time pre.
violas to the tat of September, 1863, and included
many thousands , of prisoners taken and paroled by
our cavalry and .other forces in many States of the
Confederacy, never delivered by me. Lhave already
furnished you a memorandum of at least 'sixteen
thousand of these paroled prisoners.
You say I failed to produce the paroles or to give,
any account or history of .them. If you mean Ire
fused ; to do so, it is not true. I offered to produce
them it'any time,`and impOrtuned you to agree to
some rn Maple by which they could be computed and
adjusted;' When Utast met you at City Point, you,
requested me for the- first time to send to you a me
morandum of.the paroles claimed as valid by me. I
furnished you with the Hat on the 27th instant, that
being the first day after your request on which a-
flag-of-truce boat appeared at City Point.
You say I then proceeded to make a further deeds
' ration`of , exchange, ignoring the cartel altogether.
and resting the Whole proceeding, as you suppose, on
my sense:of right; There again you are mistaken.
I did not restthe proceeding entirely, Upon my,sense
of right—l relied, in some mesture, upon yours `and;
to that extent, its propriety may be doubtful: In
communicating to you Exchange Notice IVo.7—which
is the one to which you refer—l wrote to you as fol
lows; "I herewith enclose to you a declaration of
exchange, which I shall publish 4n a day or two. YOU
will perceive, is based upon the declaration of ex
change communicated to me in' your letter of the
24th of September last. • In my-notice I, followed
your phraseology. I _would have preferred another
form of declaration, more in accordance with the
circumstances of the case, Inaimuch, however, as
my declaration to a'considerable extent, is retalia
tory of yours; f have deemed it more appropriate to
follow your own form of expression." Your letter
of the 24th of September declared that "all officers
and men of the United States army, captured and
paroled at any time previous to the Ist September,
1863, are duly 'exchanged."' On -the 16th of October
following,-I deciared exchanged. ":all (Confederate)
officers and men captured , and paroled at any time
previous to the ist September,lB63." If that was
"ignoring the cartel," as you charge, Y only followed
your example. Our declarations of exchange were
precisely similar, except that. in another part of
my notice, 1 reserved from itfy operation-the larger -
part of the Vicksburg parolee. If I had followed
ye ur " sense of right; l• as I then had, and still claim
the right to do, :I would have included all.
- The Confederate authorities take it unto them
`selves, as a proud and honorable ' boast, that they
have determined all these matters of parolee ander:,
changes according to their "sense of, right," and not
by any views of temporary expediency. In follow
ing that guide, ',they havesst least shunned some ex
amples furnished by,your Government. They have
never, in violation of.their. General Orders, and
=without notice to the adverse partyordered their:'
paroled officers and men to break their solemn cove
nant, and, without exchange, lift their arms against
their
captors. , They 'have, therefore,, escaped the
pangs of that retributiVe justice which 'made' your
General Orderer July 3; 1863, though so well suit
ed to the meridiem of Gettysburg, invalidate the pa
roles given at Port Hudson on the 9th of, the lame.
Month. Upon hirther reflection; lam sure you will
be satisfied that it doesnot become your authorities,
who have chosen, whenever they felt so disposed,
without notice , or, consent from us, to repudiate the
eetablished usages of 'exchange and put new eon;
ettuotioni uponthe cartel, to. complain that others
have acted, according to their lame of right.

DISASTERS" TO THE REBEL 'AIMS
[From the Richmond-Enquirer, Nov. a
The people and army of the Confederate States
have been so mush complimented, upon the prOwess
and gallantry or their &rem, so much flattered UPOCIL
what has been sacemplished that they have lost
sight of .the fact that' more surrenders have been
made, by their armies , than by , the armies of any
Other nation. What nation in three years of war
ever lowered their leg eleven times in surrender?
Therehave been elevsn , Confeeerate surrenderp since
this war began. Near Rich fdeuntain, at Hatteras,
at Island No. 10, at Fort' lanry, at Fort Donel
son, at Roanoke Islandiat - Porta aner.Tack
son, at. Arkansas Post; at -Vickeburg, at Port Had
son, and at Cgmberlanf(i-apt And then there has
not been an instance of punishment in this 'long list
of disasters ; but, on the - contrary , promotion has in
come instances followed swift upon the surrender.
If the history of this war will show as much gallan
try in the fight as that of- any other war, it will also
exhibit more surrenders than ever befethe arras of
any other nation during the same per iod of time;
and we cannot point to any Saragoses, Girona, Lon
donderry, or Genoa to oftezt , this long catalogue of
unsuccessful sieges.
If our people cannot understand- why European
nations hesitate to recognize'our nationality, per
haps they may find the cause in• the+ text that the ,
flag we seek to register among. the nations of the
earth, though often crowned with glorious victory,
has, unfortunately, been lowered! very often in un
mitigated disgrace. And as long as , foreign nations ,
see surrenders so complacently made, and promotion
often following them, they are -uncertain whether
some steamer may not bring the news of our ninon oitional surrender to the terms of3our enemy., The
nations of Europe, accustomed to snob defences as
the Spaniards made in the Peninsula, or, that of the
French at Genoa, or that of the English at London
decry, cannot understand our style of defence.
The surprises of Kelleyerille, Brandy Station,
Williamsport, Bristow Station, and now the late
disaster on the Rappahannock, show how leniency
to the first dereliction of duty may entail continued
and repeated ditiesters,and carelessness inflict lasting
disgrace upon the army.
It has not yet transpired where the brigade of
Hoke and . Hays were when the enemy pounced
upon them ; it is not yet stated how they came to be
so completely isolated from the main body of the
army that they could not be reinforced, though the
fight is represented to have lasted without inter
mission from 2 o'clock in the afternoon till dark...
No explanation has been made why reinforce
ments were not sent to their rescue; nor are - we in
formed hew these, two small brigades eame to be
thus exposed, inviting almost their capture or anni-
hilation.
We hope that there are good and sufficient rea
-801111 for alt these strange circumstances, and that
General Lee will, upon investigation, be satisded
that his two brigades were lost in one of the ordi
nary eventualities of war, which no vigilance can
prevent, and no activity remedy.
Surprises are more injurious to military pres
tige, • more destructive to men and material,
than defeat in regular battle ; and as they are so
easily prevented, the officer who suffers himself to
, be surprised and pounced upon so suddenly by an
army that the men "seemed to have risen out or the
ground," deserves the severest punishment.
The array of General Bragg - has lately suffered greatly
from a surprise, by which an important position was
gained by the enemy, and one which, it is feared may
neutralize much of the advantage gained by the battle of
Chickamauga. We might, by, reviewing the history
of the war, swell the number of surprises to the
equal of that of the surrenders, but it would be
useless; men, and officers, and people, and the
enemy, and the world, know and understand the
injury they inflict, and military discipline in every
army has sought to correct such evils by the se
verest punishment. We must do as the world does";
our officers must be held to the same accountability
that has always been applied to negligence. We
cannot afford to be as lenient even as Napoleon was, for
our necessities are greater and our cause holier than
was that of the Emperor of the French.
ITEM LATE BIGHT ON THE 8.-A.PPAHANNOCH:
EFICEI the Richmond Enquirer. Nov.ll I
On yesterday several officers and privates, wounded
in the dieastrous fight-near Kelly's Ford on Satur
day, reached the city, having been preceded on Mon
day by about one hundred and fifty wounded in the
same right They corroborate the general report of the
affair, namely: That the two brigades to which they
were attached, Hoke's and Hays'—the former num
bering 1,150 effective men, and the latter 975, and the
Whole commanded by Brigadier Gen. Hays—were on
picket duty on the north side of the Rappahannock,
not far from the ford, when, about eleven o'clock in
the forenoon, they were apprised of the approach of
an overwhelming Yankee• force. They, however,
bravely determined to stand their ground, and they
performed their duty nobly.- One of the most despe•
rate fights of the war ensued. The enentyhad fear

fought after being wounded, and both the infantry
and artillery behaved splendidly ' ; but the Yankees
were too many for them. About eleven hundred
were taken prisoners, three hundred were killed or
wounded, and the rest, over six hundred, escaped in
the confusion, Among the escaped was General
Hays. The Yankee loss is estimated at 600 killed
and wounded. '
STATISTICS OP THE BOMBARDMENT OP SIIMPTER.
Since the bombardment of Sumpter commenced
(on the 17th of August) up-to Thursday last, 15,583
,hots had been bred at it, of which 12,302 struck.
Of the garrison, 27 have been killed and 69 wounded.
The flag, during the same time, has been cut down
34 times. The avera% weight of shot being 200
pounds, the weight of iton was 3,116,000 pounds, or
115,439 pounds of iron to each man killed, 30,370
pounds of iron to each casualty. If the charges of
powder averaged 16 pounds, we have 233,745 pounds
of powder used, or 8,057 pounds of powder to each
Man killed, and 2,434 pounds of powder to each
casualty. Sumpter, in ruins, laughs at her enemy,
Who still fears to pass her battered walls. Charles
ton will have a valuable iron mine in the ruins of
Sumpter • and even now, when iron ' ls scarce and
sells high, industry; at very little risk, might. make
a fortune.--/bid. • •
A FEDERAL MOVEMENT ON TUN PENINSULA.
The Examiner has the following in reference to
affairs on the Peninsula:
"It appears the enemy on the York peninsula are
again making , a demonstration. 74D/formation was
received yesterday morning, by parties in Richmond,
that they were in considerable force, consisting of
cavalry, infantry, and artillery, at Diascuud bridge,
a point some forty miles east of Richmond, on
the Williamaburg, road, and -that they were mo
ving on Richmond. The York-river train, which.
reached here about five o'clock last evening, brought
tbe report that the enemy were between New Kent
Court Rouse and Barhamaville: The object of the
demonstration is, doubtless, to distract Gen. Lee's
attention, and embarrass his movements by threat
ening his communications, and it is probable that
these are some of the same troops that, - last week,
made a show of- landing on the Carolina coast. If
so, their numbers are, no doubt, augmented by the
addition of Spear's cavalry, white and black."

The following has just been received from Blount

" R. RANSOM, Major General:,
JEFFERSON DAVIS 'AT SAVANNAH.
[From the F, &yams ah Republican.]
Our city has been in an uproar of 'pleasurable ex
citement for a day or two past, occasioned by a visit
from the illustrious standard. bearer of the Confede
racy, President Jefferson Davis. We do not recol.
lect to have seen our people, of all ages and classes,
and w e may add colors, evince so intense interest in
any man, living or dwell The anxiety even to catch
ai glimpse of the chief magistrate was common to
all, When he spoke all ears were erect and all eyes,
riveted upon him. When an opportunity to grasp
him by the hand was offered, the spontaneous out
gushing of every heart was too manifest to be mis
taken. All seemed to regard him as the nation's
benefactor and friend, and all were eager to evince
their gratitude and do him honor. We doubt if any
public man ever made a better impression among
strangers. "
Greatness is too apt to grow dim as we become
familiarized with the object that bears it, but Presi-'
dent Davis has nothing to risk by commingling with
the people. He is a man=a man not by accident,
but a man in his own right, upon a basis of moral
•and intellectual merit that 4an never fail. And,
then, to this he adds that which never fails to com
mend a Man to the people of the country—tine
powers of elocution. He speaks well to the cill-.
zen, better to the soldier, and even better still te the
ladies. His voice is shrill, and can penetrate a
large audience, while thought 'and language ,wlth
him are ever ready, and of the strongest and purest
kind. On the whole, we have every reason to bo.
lieve that the President's visit to Savannah, whilst
it was a source , of unalloyed pleasure to him, has
produced the most , salutary results on the minds of
our people.
NO PEACH WITHOUT RESTORATION
We have the pregnant admission of the Whig that
there is no party in the free Statess in favor of peace,
and that even the triumph of the Copperheads would
not be followed by a recognition of the Confederacy.
We quote again :
With these impressions, we are not at all sur
prised to find that the Atlanta Appeal says, upon the
authority of, k gentleman of observation sad intelli-
Bence, who has lately enjoyed opportunities of stu
dying public opinion and feeling in the United States,
that there is no party therein favor of peace, except
it bring with it restoration; that even the success of
ultra Democracy would not terminate the war, un
less the South would return to the Union,;.that the
political battles lately fought were for possession of
the' Governments, State and National, with their
power and patronage;.that the difference between
the two parties consists only in the fact that` the
Abolitionists are for extrememeasuresi confiscation,
rmancipalion, plunder, ete.—and what is known as
the peace party & for the Constitution and laws, and
for the war until the rebellion is put down and the
Union restored.' No single voice is raised for peace
on the basis of, separation.”

noticed in the President's Cabinet chamber the fol
lowing named gentlemen : Hon. A. P. Usher, Secre
tary of the Interior; -Hon. William H. Seward, Se

the Philadelphia Press and Daily Morning Chronicle.
The day was exceedingly:lovely, being the begin
ning of the second Indian summer, and the occasion
one of -rare interest. Mr., Senator Connese, who
seemed to he somewhat Surprised at witnessing so
many Pennsylvanians around him, and still more
surprised on being informed that nearly all these gen
tlemen, like himself, had-Acted with the Democratic
party, until the .party became sold to slavery, ad
vanced with the cane in his hand, and, in a line,
bold, and clear voice, addressed the President:
SENATOR.OOMIESS' SPEECH.
He said that this interesting gathering had no ob
ject in view other- than that of witnessing the- pre=
sentation of a cane which he held in his hand to the
President of the. United States. He tookgreat plea
sure in bestowing it upon him. It was a gift of
David 0. Broderick to - himself, who was not only a
friend of his tint a friend of the people. lair. Brode
rick, he said, was a great hero, and one who had bat
tled and died for the salvation of his country in the
hour of its trial. Retook especial pleasurein tender
ing the cane to the President as a token of his re
spect and admiration for him in the-issuing of that
great edict, the proclamation of emancipation, and
in resolutely maintaining it as the public law. The
President had made himself a great leader in the
civilization of the world, and the Hon. Senator re
peated-that it afforded him heartielt-pride to pre
sent and consign to his keeping this memento-of his
late esteemed friend. David O. Broderick.
•
TRH .P.I3.BSrDIENT'S- REPLY: '
The President then accepted the cane, and, with
much replied that he never personally knew
the Senator's friend, Mr. Broderick, but he had al
ways heard him spoken of•as one sincerely devoted
to the cause of human rights. Testimony to . this
point of his character had been borne by those whom.
he had not intimately known,,as also by those with
whom he was personally andintimately acquainted,
and, with all of them, the testimony had been uni.•

Senator Conness was of that class - of things ' the
highest honor that could be conferred upon him.
If, in the position he had been placed, he, had done
anything that entitled Min to the honor the Senator
had assigned him, it was a proud reflection that his
acts were of such a character as to merit the affiliation.
of the friends of a -man like David Broderick.

bered by such a man as David O. Broderick was am
fact he would remember through all the years of his
life. The proudest ambition that he could desire

Encircling these words the Senator has had inscribed,
" Common to the President," and thus these two in
scriptions are blended together. - -
