SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1864
The Worth American Review.
The North American Review was commenced in
May, 1816, by William Tudor, who conducted it for
two years. It was edited by Jared , Sparks, from
Nay, 1817, to March, 1818, inclusive rby Edward T.
Charming, from May, 1818, to (Voter, 1818, inclu
sive; by Edward Everett, from January, 1820, to
October, 1823, inclusive; again by Jarod 'Sparks,
from January, 1624, to .aprli, 1830, inclusive; by
Alexander IL Everett, from July, 1838, to October,
1836, inclusive ; by John G. Palfrey, from January,
1836, to January, 1843, inclusive ; by Francis Bowers,
from Aprll, 1843, to October, 1853, inclusive; and by
Andrew Preston Peabody, from January, 1854, to
October, 1863, inclusive. It is now jointly con
ducted by James Russell Lowell and Charles Eliot
Norton, who commenced their labors in the Janu
ary number, just issued. It continues to be pub
lished by Crosby & Nichols, of Roston.
The change of editorship has been proclaimed far
and wide in newspaper advertisements, which some
timejeven gave biographical sketches of Messrs.
Lowell and Norton, though the admitted scholar
ship and ability of these gentlemen rendered the
puff' preliminary wholly unnecessary. The pub
lishers also loudly proclaimed the merit of the North
American Review (whir*, at one time, had been an
able, and occasionally even a brilliant periodical),
intimating that it continued to rank as high, let
telly, Se it had ranked under Such men as Sparks,
the Everette, and Be , The fact is, that during
the last ten years it has vegetated, rather than lived,
under the incubus of a feeble editor. The Rev. Dr.
Peabody Plummer, Professor of Christian Morals
in Harvard College, and Preacher to the University,
is a learned man, a logical writer, and a pious cler
gyman—but the Review fell back very much during
his long attempt to edit it. There is now a chance
that, in the hands of able writers, who are also men
Of She world, the publication will receive such im
provements as will bring it up to the time. The
National Quarterly Review, edited by Mr. Edward J.
Sears, at New York, has deservedly supplanted the-
North American Review, during the last three years,
to a very coneiderable extent, and is new established
as a formidable rival.' Dr. Peabody retired just in
time.
Besides forty.four pages of short reviews, far bet
ter executed than such notices have lately been in
the N. A. Review, the present number, commencing
the ninety-eighth volume, contains nine articles. Of
these, the notices of Ticknor'' Life of Prescott and
Winthrop's Early Life of Governor Winthrop are
purely literary; The Bible and Slavery is politico.
religious; the long review of Renan's Life of Jesus,
is religiously critical; Immorality in Polities and
The President's Policy are wholly and sharply poli
tical ; the notice of the Bibliothecia Tories is an un.
mitigated putt' of that periodisal; the paper on the
Sanitary Commission abounds in personal abuse and
eulogies, ending with a clear account of the workings
of an excellent institution; and the paper on the
Ambulance System sandwiched in between two re.
ligioue article', is short and practical. Five articles
on politica and religion, out of nine, which this
number contrlns, is just such
tt a p n ol e a x i c c e s s a s h o o f u s id er: o u:
matter as Dr . 'T'eabody supplied—his idea being that
religion, moral pilptiophy, and
atitute the staple of each number.
The review of Renan'a work is long, but scarcely
too long, for it covers the whole ground, and is
well written. There is nothing new in the second
article, for the Bible never recognized any such
slavery as the f outh has taken 'arms to retain, as
its r peculiar institution." The paper on Im
morality in Politics is acute and well-timed, and
deals, among other matters, with Judge Wood
ward's Independence Square oration of December
13, 11360. It also shows up the copperhead" ten
deludes of Professor Alone, inventor of the Electric
Telegraph. The most readable articles, however,
are those upon George Ticknor's Life of Prescott,
the historian, and Robert C. Winthrop , ' Early Life
of Governor Winthrop, his ancestor : both very re.
cent books, published by Ticknor & Fields, of Bos
ton. The first review, occupying forty-eight pages,
commences the number, but it is so full of interest
that no one will complain of its length. It quotes
largely from the book, which is extremely interest
ing, and the critic's own summing-up of the personal
and literary character of Prescott is extremely in.
&clone, and also well written, The notice of
Governor. Winthrop', Life is full of interest of a
different nature, and will make readers long for a
second volume, promised by Mr. Winthrop, show
ing his . great ancestor's public life in this country.
For the moat part, we are not very anxious to see
poliVcal articles in literary periodicals. At times,
however, a well.written paper upon public events or
public men is acceptable, as a variety, if well writ
ten. Such a paper is that entitled " The President's
Policy," which is published here. It is thoughtful,
moderate, loyal, well-reasoned, and clearly express.
ed. Reviewing the . 0 Menage," delivered on De
cember 9th, it enters fully into the whole policy of tne
President, and, we think, is more particularly suc
cessful when it touches upon his personality. Here
is a little bit which we can easily separate from the
context:
"A curious, and as we think, not inapt parallel,
might be drawn between Mr. Lincoln and one of the
most striking figures in modern history—Henry I V,
of France. The career of the latter may be more
picturesque, as that of a daring captain always is ;
but in all its vicissitudes there is nothing more ro
mantic than that sudden change, as by a rub of Alad
din's lamp, from the attorney's office in a country
town of Illinois to the helm of a great nation in
times like these. The analogy between the charac
ters and circumstances of the two men is in many re
spects singularly close. Succeeding to a rebellion
rather than a crown, Henry's chief material depend.
ence was the Huguenot - party, whose doctrines eat
upon him with a 'closeness distasteful certainly, if
not suspicious, to the more fanatical among them.
King only in name over the greater mart of France,
and with his capital barred against hitii it yet gra
dually became *tear to the more far-seeing even of
the Catholic party, that he was the only ceetre of
other and legitimate authority round which France
could reorganize itself. While preachers who held
the divine right of kings made the churches of Paris
ring with declamations in favor of democracy rather
than submit to the heretic dog of a Bdarnois—much
as our sot &sant Democrats have lately been preach
ing the divine right of slavery and denouncing the
heresies of the Declaration of Independence—Henry
bore both patties in hand till he was convinced that
only Ore course Of action could possibly combine his
Own interests and those ox France. Meanwhile the
Protestants believed somewhat doubtfully that he
was theirs, the Catholics hoped somewhat doubtful
ly that he would be theirs, Henry himself turned
aside remonstrance, advice, and curiosity alike with
a jest or a proverb (if a little high, he liked them
none the worse), joking continually as his manner
was. We have seen Mr. Lincoln contemptuously
compared to Sancho Panza by persons incapable of
appreciating one of the deepest pieces of wisdom in
the profoundest romance ever written—namely, that,
while Don Quixote was incomparable in theoretic
and ideal statesmanship, Sancho, with his stock of
proverbs, the ready money of human experience,
made the best possible practical governor. Henry
IV was as full of wise saws and modern instances
as Mr. Lincoln, but beneath all this was the thought
ful, practical, humane, and thoroughly earnest man,
around whom the f ragments of France were to
gather themselves till she took her place again as a
planet of the first magnitude in the European sys
tem. In one respect Mr. Lincoln was more fortu
nate than Henry. However some may think him
wanting in zeal, the most fanatical can find no taint
of apostacy in any measure of hie, nor can the most
bitter charge him with being influenced by motives
of personal interest. The leading distinction be
tween the policies of the two is one of circum
stances. Beery went over to the nation; Mr. Lin
coin has steadily drawn thenation over to him. One
left a united France- the other, we hope arid believe,
will leave a reunited America. We leave our read
ers to trace the further-points of difference and re•
semblance for themselves, merely suggesting a ge
neral similarity which has often occurred to us. One
only point of melancholy interest we. will allow
ourselves to touch upon. That Mr. Lincoln is not
handsome nor elegant, we 'Own from certain Eng
lish tourists who would consider similar revelations
in regard to Queen Victoria as thoroughly Ameri
can in their want of biensgance. It is no concern or
ours, nor does it affect his fitness for the high place
he so worthily occupies, but he is certainly as fortu
nate as Henry in the matter of good looks, if we
may trust contemporary evidence. Mr. Lincoln has
also been reproached with Americanism by some
not Unfriendly British critics ; but, with all defer
ence, we cannot solthat we like him any the worse
for it, or see in it any reason why he should govern
Americans less tritely."
We take leave of the North American Review with
a conviction that it is improved under its new edi
tors, and with a hope that in future the purely lb
term./ y and 'scholarly matter will not be kept under
by religious, political, and philosophical paper..

Instead of three barrels of pickled pork. Pork gives
better satisfaction than beet The potatoes are

OLIVER. Well, sir, the beef is used to make soup
of, and it bons down a considerable.
GENERAL. Why is it that the potatoes give you
dissatisfaction
OLlvrat. Well, General, you see, sir, we drew
about six barrels of potatoes for half ration—six
barrels of potatoes and crackers. We used to draw
potatoes instead of bread, and then sometimes the
potatoes were bad, and the commissary could not
make them good ; so we had a bad ration.

GENERAL. The Confederate authorities say that
our prisoners fare as well as their soldiers in the
field. Now, if your judgment is that your prisoners
of war here do not fare as well as you do in the
field, I shall can on the Confederate authorities to
make up the rations to our men, on Belle Island,
to what it is here at least. But let me ask : Are there
any instances of abuse or ill-treatment here?
OLIVER. I have never received any.

They volunteer to work whenever they are called

of coffee, would your men feel perfectly satisfied, so
far as the eating part is concerned '1
OLIVER. They are most dissatisfied with their
rations of rail and fresh beef. We get our tack, and
that to more than we can eat. It is only beef days that
there is complaint.
GENERAL. You think they would be reasonably
Well off if they could have their fresh meat made up
equal to their pork ?
OLIVER. Yes, sir, if they could draw more fresh
beef to make the ration, as large as they are when
they get pork, it would be right. Some days we have
26 boxes of crackers, and sometimes they fall a little
abort in number, and sometimes a little over. Our
general ration of crackers is 10 a day. Whenever it
falls short CI the number of pieces, it is made up in
weight. I soon found that out. I saw that 10910
of them were a great deal larger than others.

Having thus satisfied himself of the . condition of
the rebel prisoners in his hands, the General sent
602 prisoners to the rebel Commissioner of Exchange,
informing him of the result of his inspection at
Point Lookout in a letter of great courtesy. On the
29th the vessel returned with 502 prisoners:
The letters and deepatchee stated that they sent
these men in exchange for those that had been sent
up, but that no more should be sent until we re
leased all in our hands, when they would do the
same, and until we gave up every claim which we
had made in behalf of our soldiers then prisoners,

enlisted, turned over their officers to the cruel

General Butler should be executed immediately

be imprisoned, ironed, and hung.

A ROMANCE SPOILED. —The Worcester Trait.
script says that the romantic story told by the Hart
ford Post concerning Sergeant Plunkett's matri
monial affairs (and which we copied), was entirely
incorrect, and it gives the correct version as fol
lows:
Sergeant Plunkett was engaged, on going to the
war, to Miss Nellie . Lorrimer, of this City, not of
Leicester, as our contemporary erroneously located
her. On returning so sadly maimed in defence of the
old flag, lie offered his betrothed a release. whisk
she, like a true heroine, refused to accept. They
were married, and that is the whole of the story.
With no other Mies Lorrimer had the Sergeant ever
any engagement or correspondence of Any sort, and
so, of course, no such romantic incident as that
emanating from the fertile brain of the informant
of the Port could ever have occurred. We trust that
all newspapers which have given currency to the
false story will mend this authentic contradiction
after it as promptly as possible.

In reply to this I have now to state that it is under

have every rearon to believe that this necessary and
salutary measure will be promptly adopted. The

REBEL GENERAL'S 'WIPE IN CIONNECT/CUT.-.•
We find the following in the New Haven Palladium:
" The wife of the rebel General Guatavus W. Smith
is the daughter of Captain Abner Hamlett, of New
London, and about a fortnight ago she suddenly ar
rived home. It was given out that she had passed
through the Union lines in diguise and had
North to remain. Since her arrival she has been
very free to avow the most disloyal sentiments, ex
hibiting such rancor and violence as eould not be
tolerated. The case was, reported to Washington,
and the result was that on Monday evening the
woman left New London in charge of an army officer,
to be handed over to General Butler at Fortress
Monroe and by him returned across the lines to her
rebel Mende.),
Eccentricities of Suicide.
The London Star collates several recent curious
cues of eccentricities in self-destruction, which we
quote:
Four of these have been brought to light within
the last few days. There is the mysterious poison
ing case at Umbleton, the history of which reads
like the record of a nightmare: Miss Amelia Hu
band had formed a secret and illicit connection
with Mr. George Cole, from whom she received
frequent nightly visits at her uncle's house,
though without the knowledge of any of the
members of her family. At length she found that
she would soon become a mother, and comma.
Ideated the fact to her lover, who at once- proposed
to many her. But she declined, on the ground that
the affiance would be altogether against the wishes
of her friends, and, instead, took a large dose of Cr-
genic, from the effects of which she died. Here we
find death deliberately courted in order to avoid a
family quarrel, which must, under the circumstances
have necessarily ended in the marriage of the young
lady to the man of her choice. But Mr. George Cole
seems to be quite as singular in his modes Of feeling
and action as was-Miss Amelia Husband. After the
poor girl's death he wrote to her aunt ; but, according
to his own statement, the letter contained neither al
lusion to the lamentable event nor expressions of
condolence. It embodied merely an application for
the return of a watch and some trinkets which be
had given to the young lady during her life, and
which as be held, reverted to him upon her decease.
It is difficult to determine whether the conduct of
the suicide or of her lover is most unaccountable.
Then, again, we have the Brighton drowning case,
in which, as far as we can judge from the ever
deuce now before us, a woman drowned her
self chiefly for the purpose of casting odium
upon a man who had offended her by break
ing off an immoral relationship with her. Dirs.
Bruce, whose body was washed ashore at Rotting
dean last Wednesday, had formed a /Won with
Louie Adolphus, manager to Messrs. Moses ft Son,
the well-known tallora, but he states that when he
paw her off by the Brighton train, on the Bth of
November, he intimated to her that this must
cease. It is evident that she was in no distress,
*lnce her clothing was of a superior description,
and she had money in her pocket and a dia
mond ring on her finger, and her real motive for
self.dentruction is shown by the mode in which
she prepared for it. She wrote "my husband"
on the bask of a carte tie visite portrait of Mr. Louie
Adolphus, put it into an envelope, which she ad
dressed to "My false and perjured husband, Linde
Adolphus," with his address in full, and, wrapping
the whole carefully in oiled silk, placed it in her bo

ist or dramatist depict outraged love conceiving and
carrying out a more recondite and intensely ro
mantic scheme of vengeance' It seems evident
enough that Mrs. Bruce sacrificed her own life
after making the last act of it the writing of a lie,
in order to cause grave annoyance to a manwho had
slighted her. But her motive for suicide was strong
when compared with the incitements which often
impel individuals to commit the same crime. - Late in
last week the body of Amelia Walker, a girl of seven
teen, was taken out of Duekett's canal. She had -
been in service, but two pots ofj am and an egg being
found in her box, her master told her that she lima
leave her situation. She received her wages, walked
away from the house, and, instead of going home.
drowned herself, the money being found untouched
in her-pocket. Perhaps the most striking example
of eccentricity, however, which has been wit
nessed for some time is the case of the youth ;Torus
Budd, who hanged himself a few days since at AlM
wall. Having, while in the service of a butcher LII
that district, committed some act of violence toward
a few boys who had been annoying him, he was
under a false impression that arreerselli to been oG
fered for his apprehension, and so reaolv

and purchased - three yards of rope, for which - the
shopkeeper wanted to charge him a penny, but ha
insisted on receiving a farthing- change,alleging "a
