When Mr. Edward J. Sears announced hi. Inten
tion, four years ago, of editing and publishing the Na
tional Quarterly Review, the general impression among
writing and reading people was that he would add
one to the numerous unsuccessful attempts to trans
fer the throneof criticism from Boston to New York.
It was remembered that all preceding critical publi
cations had been short-lived in the latter city, and it
WB» ltmaiked that the North American Review was
too firmly established to be supplanted. On the
other hand, it was known, chiefly among the bre
thren of the pen, that Mr. Sears had already ehown
himself, in various publications, as an able, logical,
and ready writer, and that he had intimate know
ledge, not only of the ancient elassics, but with the
best author, who had written, as well in the Eng
lish language, here and elsewhere, as in the prin
cipal living tongues of continental Europe. He was
young, too, and full of energy; faithful and keen in
his critical, and fearless as well as judicious in his ad
ministrative capacity. The North American Review ,
whatever its reputation at any time, had beoome so
efifete and feeble, under ineffective editorship, that.
many of its subscribers, who continued it from cus
tom, had ceased to read it; it has lately passed into
new hands, for it was impossible that, on the. old plan,
it could hope to compete with its young and vigorous
opponent. Mr. Sears published his first number,
and the public at once saw that a youthful Her
oulea .had entered the field as a Quarterly Re
viewer. ' The succeeding tri-monthly issues of
the NWibnal Quarterly have fully maintained the
reputation which was thus won at the first grasp.
This Review certainly stands now at the head of
American critioal literature, and is so esteemed in
Europe. In its politioal articles it has been con
glstently and thoroughly loyal—not indulging in
showy and verbose declamation, but giving logical
reasons for its faith. It has fearlessly exposed
Charlatanism and quackery—whether In solenoe,
literature, insurance companies, phrenology, or
medicine.
In the number just published, which completes
the eighth volume, there are eight artieleg, besides
a variety of shorter notices of oorrent literature.
It opens with a paper on the souroes and character
istics of Hindu Civilization. In this, whioh ex
hibits considerable historical research, the most no
ticeable fact is the analogy between the mythology
of the nations of Europe, chiefly those bordered by
the Mediterranean, and that oi Hindu. It has been
remarked that a similarity exists between the le
gends of various nations—even some of our own
Indian traditions are not unlike traditions in Europe
and Asia. There is so muoh similarity between the
Sanscrit and Greek that “Milford and Wilkins
were among the foremost to invest the ancient Hin
dus With the prerogative of having oolonized their
language, religion, and surplus populations, among
the nations of the West.” Mr. Paoocke, an Eng
lish author, whole “India in Greece” appeared in
1862,” goes far in his speculations. The reviewer
says:
“ He has made an able, ingenious, and, as yet, the
boldest attempt to trace the origin of the population,
manners, and religion of Greeee entirely to the Hin
dus. On each familiar promontory and highland of
that clsetio land, on eaoh mountain and river—
whose names were a mystery to the Hellenes them
selves in the time oi their greatest enlightenment—
he finds the indelible impress of the Sanscrit tongue
and the vestigeß „of a Hindu colonization. In the.
mysteries, ihe religious stciies, the obscure myths
of the Hellenic people, he discovers the iieneaments
Of the Buddhistic superstition. Muoh that has been
abandoned aa inexplicable, much that lraa been re
jected as the mere invention of the poet’s brain, he
forces by his theory from the domain of fable into
that of fact. With him Cadmus it the great Gauta
ma : Achilles a Rajput warriors the Amph|etyonio
Council a synod of the Buddhists. He reoognlzes
the truth of the Argonautio expedition and of the
conquests of Baoehus ; and finds in the Sanscrit the
proofs alike of the existence of the Amazons and
the actual establishment of a Lydian colony, bearing
with them the traditions of the Esst, in Etruria.”
Another article, upon Juvenal’s Satiresupon Rome,
ably distinguishes between the comparative merits
of Juvenal and Horaoe. Quotations are largely
given from Dr. Badham’s translations of Juvenal,
but we infinitely prefer those executed by the re
viewer himself—they remind us of Moore’s lyriesl
satires, they are so musical, so flowing, and so keen.
Here is a pathetic specimen, forming the conclusion
of a passage on the miseries of old age:
1 But worse than the failnre of limbs or of sight
' Is that btupor of mind which o’erawes him like *leap.
He knows not the friend whom he supped with last
And the names of hiß own very slaves he can’t keep.
The children he reared are shat oat from hia heart,
When his goods aze bequeathed he leaves them no
part. ,
Bat to Phiale all he transmits as a dower.
Since the breath of her month never ceased to nave
power.
‘Hie mind may not totter i that’s granted—but yet
There’* a pais he shall suffer, a -grief he can’t flee.
Bis wife’s pile of death > ith his tears shall be wet.
The urns of his kindred he’s f«ted to see
’Tie the pain of long iiveiß to robe in new mourning,
♦•• To see ev’ry friend-stricken down by their side,
Vith the dawn of fresh jears to see sorrow returning.
Their grief still renewed and their tears never dried.”
Or the Brazilian Empire, ita eondltion, form of
government, resources, revenue, statistics, liters
ture, defences, and prorpccts, we find a oopious ex
amination here, euooeeded by an account, full, yet
condensed (whioh ie so desirable in narrative), of
the Conspiracy of Cataline. We prefer this to Me
xivale’s account of the plot and its suppression.
The consideration of Klopatoek as a lyric and epio.
poet is a oritieal paper. OI its subject little is known
here or in England, though the Hermans consider
his “Messiah” as superior to Milton’s “Paradise
Host.” There are good grounds stated here for pre
ferring his lyrics (the Odea) to his epic. He long
preceded Sohiller, Goethe, and Will and, andhisjOdes
first appeared over a oentury ago. Some of them
are translated here, in rythmloal blank verse, and
read well. An outline of the plot of “ The Mes
siah” is also given—it is as sublime (and as absurd)
as Milton’s great poem.
The discoveries of Kepler, the astronomer, and
Mr. Alger’s recent work, (already in a third edi
tion,) the “Critical History of the dootrine of a
Future Life,” are the subjects of separate artioles
here. The last, we think, la the most analytio
criticism that the doctrine of ancient and modern
belief in a Future Life has yet received. The aritic,
while praising Mr. Alger’s industry and ability,
questions the value ol Mr. Ezra Abbot’s biblograpbi
cal appendix, and complains of the index as “too
meagre.” The difficulty, however, of indexing such
a work mutt be remembered.
One article in this ourrent number of the Naiicma l
Quarterly Review, very likely to aggravate a large
but not very reputable olass, is that upon “ Our
Quack Doctors and their Performsnoes.” The sub
ject wan treated, but not so fully, in the ssme pe
riodical exactly three yean ago. To speak plainly,
Mr. Sears—for we attribute the article to him—
handles his victims “without gloves.” He poiuts
out the relation of imposition to ignorance, on the
authority of Montesquieu and Addison, and says:
“Humiliating as the fact is, must we not admit that
nowhere else in the world does quackery flourish as
it does amongst us 1 The quantities of nostrums of
all kinds manufactured in this city alone would be
aufficient to drug the whole world; and if there was
any truth in the pretensions of those who manu
facture them, they would be sufficient, uot only to
bauißh all diseases, but to prolong life almost to the
length of that of Methuselah. In proportion to Us
population and resources, Philadelphia may be said
to rival the metropolis in the nostrum business, and
in the number of its votariesenumerates the vast
quantities of nostrums and their deleterious effects;
exposes the book-makieg processes of their vendors;
anatomizes their advertisements and treatises; ex
amine* their testimonials; expose* the outrages
upon publio decency whioh *ome journal* publish
because quacks pay for them; and generaUy dissects
the system. We agree with the Reviewer to a large
extent; but there are some specifics which even the'
faculty admit to be valuable for particular cases.
Such, forexample, are James’ powders aud paregoric
elixir. But the great art is when a quack pretends
that his single remedy osn cure, and has cured, a
variety of diseases, so different that what would
serve one would aggravate another. The subjeot is
fully gone into here.
The dosing artiole of the Review gives criticisms
on reeenSbooks on history, biography, and travels 1
beUes lettres, theology, &o. One of these critioisms,
on Mr. S. M. Felton’s short pamphlet on the imps,
liey of building another railroad between Washing
ton and New York (an "air-line" whioh would
whoUy exclude Philadelphia), attributes the plan to
Wall-street speculators and some New Jersey capi
talists whom they have talked over. It is not very
probable that such a line will be constructed, as
proposed, out or the public treasury of the United
States. '

The [Catholic Fbhbs and Slavery.—At [the
outbreak of the rebellion Brovmson’s Quarterly Re
view was almost the only advoeate of an anti-slavery
polioy among all the Catholic journal*. The great
majority of them were violently opposing every anti
slavery measure of the Government, and acting in
concert with the ultra Peaoe faotlon of the North
ern Democracy. But the progresa of the war has
wrought among them several conversions. The Cin
cinnati Telegraph , the organ of Archbishop Puroeil,
was the first to'come over to the Anti-Slavery party,
and to admit and even to urge the necessity of abo
lishing slavery throughout the United States. Its
example has recently been foUowed by The Univerte,
the Catholic paper of Philadelphia, hitherto a vio
lent Democratic and anti-Admtnlitratlon aheet. In
a late iasue, this paper admits that the peaoe of the
Republic demands the abolition of slavery; that tbe
national current in favor of abolition grows steadily
stronger and has become Irresistible, and that ft
would be absurd to attempt to oppose it. -It, there
fore, give, to the Irish Democrats the sensible ad
vice to accept cheerfully what they are unable to
undo. We note the coaveralona aa signs of the
times. — Tril/une .

Retaliation in North Carolina—Correspond*
ence between Gem. Peck and Pickett
The Richmond papers, in publishing the corre
spondence between General Peck and General
Pickett, omitted to publish the following Interesting
letter from General Peek •
Hbadqua rtbrs Aemt and District or N. 0.,
Nbwbbbn, N. <J., February 27,1864.
Maj» Gen . Geo. E. Pickett, Department of North Caro
lina, Confederate Army;
General ; February 18 I had the honor to ad
dre»s you in respect to fifty-three North o*roUnians
Who had fallen into your hands in your late opera
tions about Newbern, As they were truly loyal
men, who had enlisted in the United States army, I
requested the same treatment for them as should be
meted out to other prisoners of war. No alluiion
wsb made to the question of your right to place
these men upon any other footing, or to the matter
of retaliation.
In your reply of the 17th, you enclose a list of
twenty-two who have been executed at Kinston,
and express the determination to punish the ba
lance, if proof is found of their desertion from your
service. These men, in common -with more than
half of the population of the State, were ever loyal
to the United Stateß, and opposed, Secession untU
put down by arbitrary power. A merciless o° n "
scription drove them into the service, and for a time
compelled the au.penee ol their reel seatlmeatß, but
wsb powerlei. to destroy their love for the Federal
Union. With, tens of thousands they seized the first
opportunity to rush within my lineii and resume
their former allegiance* Had these men been trai
tors to the United States, at the outbreak of the re
bellion, their elalma upon it for protection and sym
pathy, under the ciroumstanees, would have been
strobe; but in view of their unwavering and unflag
ging loyally, I cannot doubt that the Government
will take immediate steps to redress these outrages
upon humanity, and to correct suoh gross violations
of the usages of civilized warfare. In any event, my
duty has been peifoimed, and the blood of these un
fortunates will rest upon you and your associates.
In your communication of the tosh you threaten
to execute tan oi the officers end soldiers of the
United States Army for every one of your men
prisoners in my hands which I shall execute under
the orders of the President of the United States,
which I inclosed for your information. This an
nouncement, taken in connection with the execu
tion of the. North Carolinians, and similar proceed
ings elsewhere, evince a most extraordinary thirst
for life and blood on the'part of the Confederate au
thorities. Suoh violent and revengeful acts resorted
to as a show of strength, are the best evidence of the
weak and crumbling condition of the Confederacy.
This wicked rebellion has now attained that despe
rate state which history shows Is always the shortest
of revolutionary stages. The friends of the Union
everywhere truly interpret these signs of madness
and recklessness, and are now making one grand
rally for the utter overthrow and final extinction of
all treason.

BRCONKOIBBANCE TO FREDERICKSBURG.
A reconnoissance made by Colonel Byron, of the
18th Pennsylvania Cavalry, from Brandy Station to
Fitdericksburg, and all over that region, has demon
strated the utter groundlessness of the stories bo
persistently told of Stuart's 5,000 cavalry having
crosred the Rappahannock.
Not one of Stuart's troopers was found this side
of the river. The twenty or thirty said to have
been captured out of his advanced guard turn out to
be only so many of the loafing guerillas of the neigh
borhood.
LONGSTREBT STRENGTHENING LEE.

FROM THE FRONT.
Most pleasant excitement pervades the whole
Army of the Potomac about what Grant will do,
whom be will behead, when he will fight, how sooa
be will be in Richmond. Gen. Meade reviewed the
artillery reseive yesterday. The firing yesterday
and this morning, heard in the direction of Warren
ton, is supposed to have been artillery exercise,
stirring up the rebels at long range. It is claimed
that Gen. Meade is highly gratified with the new
assignment, relieving him from responsibility of
control, and especially with the powers vested in
Gen. Grsnt to relieve on the spot any offioer who
fails in his duty.— Tribune, 23d.
RETURNING VETERANS.
Five hundred return in many instances where
two hundred go home. Oftentimes the proportion
is less. I know of several instances where it is
greater. The 26th Illinois want home two hundred
mid eighty* one strong, and returned eight hundred
strong. The 7th Penns; lvania Cavalry—a regiment
which has done more work with the sabre than any
other in the field in this department—went home
about five hundred strong. They came back a few
days ago fourteen hundred strong. lam told by an
officer acquainted with the mustering in of the re
enlisting men, that for every thousand men who
went home on furlough over 1,500 have returned.
RETURNING LOYALTY IN ARKANSAS.
The prospect of a speedy return of the people of
Arkansas to loyalty and submission daily brightens*
Through recent in telligence reoeived here. It is known
that two judges of State courts, under the Confede
rate rule, have voluntarily come forward and taken
the oath of allegiance, and a third was on his way to
do likewise. Albert Pike wrote a pertinent epistle
to his wife, hinting in quite strong terms his desire
to return to Abraham's bosom, but expresses his
doubts if he can do so under the amnesty proclama
tion. Gen. Steele has informed Mrs. Pike that he
will receive her husband, should he present himself
with loyal intentions.

that he ha> no knowledge that suoh charge has ever
been made against Col. Sanderson, and that he is
persuaded, if it has been made, that it is unfounded

Philadelphia, Maroh 33, 1884.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir : I notice in the money arliele of the Inquirer,
ol this morning, come very severe and unjust stric
tures on the various oil companies reoentiy orga
nized under the mining laws of this State- It is
right that tbe public should know that most, If not
all, the oil companies, are organized by responsible
men, and on a sound basis. .It is an established fact
that there is oil In large quantities obtained by
boriDg, in certain counties . that the oil so obtained
brings at this time from five dollar! to aix dollars
per barrel at tbe wells, dear of any expense for
casks, fcc.; that the expense or boring a weU is
about $2,200; and, from these facts, of the truth of
which any skeptic can inform himself by a trip to
the on regions, it is easy to predicate large profit
for a very amall outlay. Add to tbi* the well
known favorable report of the Naval Commit
tee on the use of oil as fuel on board sea-going ves
sels, and it will be at once seen that the oil compa
nies which are now forming have a very fair proba
bility, if not an absolute certainty, of being the best
of investments. Many of them now pay enormous
dividends, and others just starling now will do so,
—au uwS*an probability, before three months, In
fact, oil bids fair to superset °* *?*}
many purposes, in a short time, and who or
ganize oil companies deserve credit and support -? r
their attempts at developing the resources of our
State, rather than disparagement. In conclusion, I
would state that I am not, and do not expect to be,
interested in any way in “ getting up” an off com
pany, but, knowing something of the faots of the
case, I desired to.plaoe them before the public from
a sense of JUSTICE..

MAPLE SUGAR,
I have ju«t returned from a hasty trip to the
“Northern tier,” where everybody i, busy in ge t.
tins ready for farming, and making maple sugar.
Every former who has a half dozen maple trees, is
putting them to good use, and thousands will make
sugar enough for their own use during the coming
year. In this respect we are beginning to see one of
the practioal results of the rebellion. Enough ma
ple sugar might be easily made to go far towards
supplying the demands of the Northern States. The
formers In our new oounties are making extraordi
nary preparations In this respect, and ehould the
season prove favorable, large quantities will be
made. The ground Is frozen very deeply, Whleh is a
good Indication for sugar making.
THE FIRB AT ELMIRA.
"While stopping yesterday at Elmira, I visited the
ruins of the chureh which was burned on Thursday
evening last. The Southern Tier Sanitary Fair had
been in successful operation for several days, and
had received about $16,000 net proceeds. The fair,
in every point of view, was a success. The churoh,
the largest in the city, was crowded day and eve
ning, and bad exceeded the expectations of Its most
sanguine friends. On Thursday evening, the person
who was lighting the building, by some means, set
on fire some cotton goods which were upon exhibi
tion, and In an instant the entire building was en
veloped in flames. Many of the visitora were absent
at supper. Had the building been crowded as in the
afternoon, there would have been another Santiago
affair. Everything on exhibition waa destroyed!
and very many narrowly escaped with their Uvea.
Frederick Hart was burned within the building, and
a woman and two girls are missing. Several were,
so terribly burned that they are not expected to re
cover. Mr. Convene, an aged ana respectable Citi
zen of Elmira, died from the effects of injuries re
ceived there, and waa buried yesterday. The build
ing waa entirely new. I think It had never been
used for religious purposes. It cost $37,000, and was
Insured for $lO,OOO. The people of Elmira feel this
calamity very keenly, and the whole oountry will
long regret that so laudable an undertaking had
such an unhappy termination.
THB AGRICULTURAL COLLBGB.
I do not think that the members of the Legisla
ture are very highly pleased with their visit to Belle
fonte. Many of them were disappointed In the
form, which is said to be entirely unfitted fer a
model school i that its soil is poor, its looatton not
pleasant, and In a very poor state or cultivation.
The building is said to be a very fine one—one whioh
might well serve the ends for which It was intended*
It is to be hoped that the Legislature will exercise
a sound discretion In relation to this school. I wrote
you the other day that It demanded the entire avails
of the national land scrip. They will be disap
pointed in a great degree.
FRAUDS OK SOLDIERS,
The Senate committee is busy at work inveatl.
gating alleged frauds upon soldiers. The sergeant
at-arms left this morning for Pittsburg, for wit
nesses. Quite a number of wltnes»s have already
been examined, and foots have been elicited which
are not very complimentary to certain officers. I
am informed that several have been implicated In
receiving a poition of the local bounties whleh were
intended for their soldiers. But until the oommlttee
finish their labors, I have no desire to publish par
ticular facts.
VETERANS GOING AND RETURNING.
Some half dozen veteran regiments have left here
within a few day s, for the front. Those that belong
to the Ninth Army Corps have been ordered to re
port at Annapolis,-from whence It la expected they
wm go to North Carolina. They belong to General
Buraalde’a command. It will be remembered that
bis first expedition sailed from Annapolis. Every
train of cars is full of returning veterans, hurrying to
the front, and everybody here is looking for stirring
news from the Potomae Army, hoping and trusting
that Gen. Grant may be able to accomplish that
which the loyal millions would gladly see—the de
struction of Gen. Lee’s army. FRANK.

[Correspondence of The Press. ]
New York, March 23,1884.
TEE TKKCBNTKNAUY.
The Century Club haa been repulsed In its en
deavor to kidnap the Hon. Edward Everett, on the
occasion of the Shakspearean tercentenary. That
gentleman has declined memorializing the gentle
bard, and all is well. It is not understood, however,
that the entire idea of a eelebration has been aban
doned. The theatrical representations will probably
take place notwithstanding. Amateur theatricals,
in this city, have generally proved souraes of much
mental anxiety and debility to the public. We have
had several affairs of the kind, beneficently intended
to conduce to the pecuniosity of charitable institu
tions, but all have been feeble.
AN IIIPBOVBD GAS,"
A new gas company is in process of formation,
and devoted to the production of light in dark places
at greatly redueed prtces. It proposes to work un
der the patent of a Mr. Howarth, who has perfected
the ideas of Paine, the water-gas man, and reduced
to piaotioabillty what was previously only theoreti
cal, Mr. Howarth passes steam through pipes heat
ed to a white heat, and thence Into the furnace,
where the gas la produoed. By this means a vast
supply of hydrogen is created and mixed with the
From the process two results are obtained—a
great increase ol brilliancy in the flame, and a very
considerable diminution in the cost of gas.

distance of a mile or two along the Jeriey shore.
The second aubjeot of discussion is the Oamden and
Amboy monopoly. Under our stricture, the Dutohy
is growing restive. Nobody hurt.
A SOLDIHR’B READING ROOM.
A movement is on foot for tbs eitablithmentof a
library and reading-room, in connection with the
soldier's barracks in the City Hall Park. It is in
charge of an association of ladies, who have issued
a circular explanatory of the design, and holding up
the example of Philadelphia as worthy of emula

SHOOTING.
On Friday last) a wealthy German, residing in
Broadway, allot his dog, laid It out decently, then
"ehot hlmaeir. Ontheaame day a “friend” kioked
hie wife to death, and another shot his through the
head. On Saturday a Baltimorean was shot down
in oold blood, within a long-stone’s throw of the
City Hall. Suoh is an epitome of two day’s horrors,

the money market.
Gold was managed up to 166 X this morning*and main*
tamed rattier steadily at about that figure nearly all
day, closing at 165#. The reason of this can only he
ascribed to exciting teleirams from New York brokers.
Governments grew stronger in consequence* and the
demand increased, nearly all classes noting a fraction
advance at the close. ...
The stock market opened very quietly this morning,
but, as the day advanced, large orders came freely on
the market. The coal mining companies were the favo
rites, and inside operators vied with the public in their
interest to secure a share of the general spoils cf the fa
