: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,
THE FIRST COMPLETE BIOGRAPHY
THE . GREAT AMERICAN PHILOSOPHER AND DI
PLOMATIST EVER PUBLISHED. ■
2 Vole. , Crown Svo., 1,334 pages. Steal Portraits.
Price, §5.
.The frequent publication of Dr. Frankiin’s Autobio
graphy has deterred any "writer hitherto from attempt
ing a.complete and thorough biography of this truly
great and distinguished man. No one ever left to the
World a record more rich in the requisite material for a
most entertaining and instructive history df hislife.and
the wonder is that so many years should have elapsed
before its presentation to us in a connected and systema
tic form. ,
: The story of Franklin's career, as it presents itself to
the investigations of another, has remained to this day
untold; and one -who wonld know it in all its fullness of
interest and heanty—one who would see Franklin as
others saw him, which is biography—must read ten vo
lumes, and consult two hundred. In the composition of
the present work, the autobiography has been regarded
only in the light of “material.” Autobiography is one
of the most interesting and valuable kinds of composi
tion, but autobiography can never be accepted in lieu of
biography,because toco man is the giftiegiven of seeing
himself as others see him. Hr. Franklin, moreover,
assures us that he wrote his autobiography for the in
struction of youth she omitted “allfacts and' transac
tions that may not have a tendency to benefit the young
reader.”.... ■ : ' ■■ .
The object of this biography is simply to render a
knowledge of the benign and noble life of Dr. Franklin
more accessible to his countrymen.

As nearly all the troops of both armies have been

sides have become unusually active. It must be
confessed that .thus .‘far. success has boon mostly in

i As n partialoifset to tills disaster in Florida, Gen 1
‘Birnoy’s ■'raids- have brought in, of all sorts, about
2,000 head Qf ’oattle, inuctl of which Is already suit

■As thisrixpeMtldfi'was a failure, its object need not

Col. Bailey ;§34th U,’S. C. T.,-Col, Montgomery,
and a troop o|the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry, Capt.
Keith, The, preliminary movements of 001. Mont
gomery’sregiinent. are worthy of notice. On the 19th
inst.lt was ordered from Morris Island to Hilton
Head, It arrived there at SF. M, on the 20th, was
then ordered to St. Augustine, Fla,; entered that har
bor at 0- P. Mq the 21st, at ten tho same night, had
pitched tents, and at 4 P. M., the 22d, had taken
from the steamer the camp and garrison equipage;
at7,same day, received ordors to “take post” on
Tybee-island, Georgia; the 23d, at 8 A. M,, loft St.
Augustine arid-arrived'at Tybee at 5; the 31th,
troops, camp, and garrison equipage were landed
first on Cockspur Island, and then transferred In
barges and skiffs across a broad arid swift-running
channel to the plfee of destination j distance, one
mile. In the midst of this hnrly hurly of moving,
Colonel Montgomery received a telegrajihic do.
spatch, informing, Mm that a transport w ild be
present that night , (24th), and’ordering him to put
all his fighting force aboard, with six days’ eooked
rations, ami hold himself ready to move at a mo
ment’s notice. But the transport (Boston) did not
arrive till the 25th, at 10.25 A. H., and then it cast
anchor in the Bonds, at high tide, about four miles
from Montgomery’s hoadquarters. At 12 M.,
the despatches, and orders were received, having
been sent'ashore in a skiff. The Colonel found him
self under orders to be at St. Helena Sound, S. 0.,
that day, not before six nor after seven; a distance
of 40 miles. Barges, launches, skiffs,-dugouts, and
everything-that coidcl be seized, were at once ex
temporizedfor the purpose of putting.troops aboard.
The utmost was made of every moment, but when
about half his force was shippod, Montgomery saw •
that time was of pqfore importance to him than men,
and, without waiting for : the balance of hisg com
mand, ordered the captain of the Boston to- move
off. Twenty. pounds of steam was all he wa3 allowed
to cany, but the Colonel ordered him to put on five
■pounds more* and got to the place of rendezvous iu
time or break something in the attempt. He reached
the place as the last moments of his time was ex
piring. . These facts may not''have much bearing
upon this expedition, but they are important as il
lustrative ofthe*precisions' of military science, and :
Jtha.- activity required •hyTthe! service. As the:/34th
; had pitched and struck tents, embarked and disem
barkod, only fen times in seven (7) days, four of.
which had been spent on shipboard, and the theatre
of our operations had been ’in three (3) different
rebel Statesjit was in fine soldierly trim, ready for
any emergency, v
• But to our narrative. Uol. Bailey, of the 9th U. S.
C. T., aboard the Edmund Lewis, led the way up
the Ashepoo rivSt, .Col. Montgomery following, as
ordered, “preCfeelyJfo bis wake. 1 ’ The pilot of the
Lewis, as Bailey,; had written orders'
and thorough instruction as to the exact route to bo
taken j but this fijJihlhs3,pil6fc quietly retired to his
-berths and put another .at the wheel whoknew no
rthing of these.-special' instructions. Col. Bailey
either failed.to understand his instructions or forgot
fhein, and went about fourteen miles out of his way. .
Ho passed by the point whore he should haveleft "
the main channel and joined the force which. was *
already in poSilion, ready for a night's march.- The >
Boston, as ordered, followed precisely in the wake '
of the LewiSj and when about fourteen miles upi
the Ashepoo’ got hard aground : at-falling tide.
In the"' meantime General -Birney learned that
-yjrobabty tueSO'boats had gone up the rivor, and in
a small gunboat went far up the stream in pursuit
but before-overtaking them he was convinced that
. such was not’the .case, and returned. The Boston
• went aground'about midnight. Colonel Bailey ex-:
, amined his,prders,and saw his mistake. The faith
less pilot learned’ the condition of things, and the
Lewis returned.,/It was known that the enemy had
p j eke Island batteries stationed along the river, and
one ofhis camp-fires had been discovered, but it was
soon after extinguished. The Lewis had returned
to headquarters to, report fact 3 and obtain assist
ance. Day," however, soon dawned, and .‘'gray
backs'* were seen in the distance through the
woods. As .-soon.,as the light permitted them to
get .the range, solid shot from three field-pieces,
one of which was probably a.=Napoieon gun, came
hissing r by : the Boston , and plunged into the .
marsh. The fourth" shot "took effect, the fifth
passed : through her ; boiler, and then they.
came thick and fast, scarcely one missing the
unarmed and helpless transport. Our musketry
was of no use, as the enemy was quite out of range.
One of the crew suggested the propriety of hoisting
the white flag, but was promptly told by one of the
soldiers that to do so would cost him his . life. To
get the boat off the bar was impossible, and nothing
remained but to save the men.. The stream was
about ono hundred yards wide and below soil salt
marshes spread out on both sides. The only way
of escape was in small boats, swimming, and wal
lowing through, the mire,. and all thi3 under the
enemy's fire. All on board were cool and collected,
the soldiers only expressing regrets that it was im
possible for them to ongage .in the fight. Colonel
.Montgomery ordered all that were good swimmers
to throw their guns’and accoutrements away and
make the nearest place of safety as soon as possi
ble. Lieutenant Cr. W. Brush : took command
of the and' selecting an excellent crew: for
each, he did most gallant service in the removal of
the men who were unable to swim. To this officer
and his excellent oarsmen much credit is duo for
the great number of men saved.: Col. Montgomery
and the captain,of thc boat were the last to leave.
At that time -it had Jbeen. struck not less than se
venty-five times. - As, he left, Col, Montgomery,
with his own hand, fired the boat,-that it might not
fall into the hands of tie enemy.
Special praise is duo to Gabriol Turner, one of the
party which brought the Planteront of Charleston at
the beginning of the war, for his coolness and acti.
vity. fn saving the lives bf his comrades. Ho brought
up from the bottom hot,less than ten who had sunk
to rise no more, by his own strength. His hazard
ous and herculean efforts nearly cost him his, life a
number of times, but lie slackened , not his efforts :
whilst a helploss creature could bo found.
This expedition- had ‘its upshot in this disaster.

1128 SKETCH OF DJt. MAOILE,,
In a letter from the Her. Dr? J. A. Seiss, pu#*-
liahed in the Lutheran and Missionary o f this woekV
wo arc informed that this widoly-known and highly
respected divine spent his second Sunday, after
leaving our shores, In the City of, Cork,-Ireland,,
where he visited the ehurcli of the eminent Dr.
William Magill, of whom he gives us a sketch, the
following extracts from which' will bo read 5 with
interest: .
“The clergyman wore black gown’and bands.
Upon enteringbyai private door, he at once ascended
the neat Uttlo pulpit, and announced, “for the wor
ship of God,”, one of the old Psalms. His first in*
tonations were of : that high, long-drawn, nasal},
whining sort which I had heard before, and which’
strikes so ludicrously upon the American , ear. He
is a small man, about forty-five years of ago, with
clearly marked Seoteh-Irish- features, The sexton,
in tke person of a devout-looking Irish woman, had;
given us a seat near the pulpit, affording us ovory
opportunity for. particular observation, as well for
the congregation as for ourselvesv The prayer was
extemporaneous, very comprehensive, and about
fifteen minutes long, during the uttcran.ee ofwhich
the preacher and a* few others knelt, some stood,
and a still larger number remained in that most ir
reverent of all postures of prayer, sitting in*their
pews. _ * ' ■*'
“The singing was mainly performed by a company
of gay-looking young people, on an elevation in the
end of the church opposite the pulpit. Tho tunes
had many turiiß and windings, high and deep. They
were strange t<f me, and so they seemed to the con
gregation. This part of the service compared
wretchedly with the plain, full-hearted and devout
singing to which I have been accustomed In St.
■John’s. ■ .
“Thescrmon was one which edified and pleased me.
It was carefully prepared and elaborated, ami had in
it much of that large and strong theological back
bone, so characteristic of the older Scotch sermons.
It was delivered without notes, with much case and
accuracy. It may have been memorized, as the
preacher showed a good deal of that introversion of
the eye which is apt to go along withtko* effort of
reading a MS.-which mainly has been transferred
to'the memory. The text was Hob. 13: 2d,'2l* I
give you a sketch of It/ v
“The stylo of addresswasaffectionaterplain, easy,
and appropriate—excepting the -nasal twang, in
good taste. It was a discourse rather solid and di
dactic than eloquent and poetic, but there was suffi
cient imagination to give life ,to the conceptions,
and great fluency, and sometimes particular expres
siveness in the style of delivery. 1 was not only In
terested, but delighted and profited by it, and I hope
to derive benefit from it for all fciino to como.' Our
discourses may, indeed, seem -but word-pebbles,
dropped into a surging sea, and quickly lost in obli
vion ; but, if carefully and devoutly dropped in the
Saviour’s name, they stir waves and ripples of good,
which widen in their circles as time progresses,- and
reach, at last, eternity’s farthest shores.” .

terian Church, on Friday of last week, elected Rev.

SPREAD. OF CATHOLICISM IN ENGLAND.
At an annual meeting of the Protestant Reforma'
tion Society in London, the report stated that nu'
merous active agencies had been established for the
spread of Roman .• Catholic doctrines. In 1529
there were in . that country but 449 chapels, 447
?riests; and no monasteries, convents, or . colleges,
n 1863 there.were 1,082 chapels, 1,440 priests, 33 mo
nasteries,lBG convents, and 12 colleges.
THE ENGLISH CHRISTIAN UNITY SOCIETY
A society has been formed in London called “ The
Eastern’. Church.'Association,” including members
of the Greek, English, Scotch/ and American Epis
copal communions. The object is to promote a mu
tual acquaintance and influence between the East
ern and Western Church. They design and agree
to practice intercommunion both with the “ortho
dox tchnrch,” Greek, and the other ancient churches
of the East, and also' to assist the bishops of the or
thodox church in their plans and efforts to promote
the spiritual improvement of their people.
INCREASE OP THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
Within the last forty years, more than 1,600 new
district parishes have been created, : and furnished;
with churches in England. It is said that as many
as a thousand: other churches have been built, to
which districts will presently be assigned. When
the Church of England has subdivided its parishes
as repeatedly as may bo deemed de3iraolo, and
built as many new churches as use can be round
for, there will be, at the lowest calculation, 4,000
now ecclesiastical districts in the land. :
JEWISH BELIEF IN A PERSONAL MESSIAH.
One hundred and twpnty-one rabbis have pub
lished in The Israelite a declaration that the belief
in a personal Messiah to come is an essential dogma
in Judaism, and that those who should deny,this
must be considered as though they had denied reve
lation itself.
• SIZE OF ST. PETER'S CHURCH,
President Fairfield,in endeavoringtoglvo an idea
of the size-of St. Peter’s Church, at Rome, refers
particularly to the dome, which is of massive stone
work, and supported by four, large, columns, and
arches connecting them. Each of these four pil
lars, he says, occupies as much space on the floor of
the church as an edifice SOfeefc longand 60 feet wide,
which is larger, probably, than any. church building
in New England outside of tho principal cities.
The dome, if provided with seats as economically as
Spurgeon’s chapel in London, would hold six thou
sand persons; and If lifted from the; top of St.
Peter’s Church and let down over Henry Ward
Beecher’s church, in Brooklyn, would cover it com
pletely, without touching it on any part. -And yet
it does not appear too large for the edifice on which
it stands; and the immense columns which support
it are but little in the way in tho interior ot St.
Peter’s. - . •"" ..

The ipnaiugriJistitutions are still in suspense as to what
C necl Mr. Chaso’s announced negotiations may have In
disturbing the currency, interrupting thecirculation. of
capital, and contracting their abiLity to make loans.
By the official advertisement it will be seen that Mr.
Chase’s plans are three. First,.proposals will be in-*
vited for fifty millions of six per cent, gold-bearing
bonds, to fall due m 15S1. Secondly, the interest on
the temporan Joan is raised from five to six per cent.,
and thirdly t the July coupons of the ISSI bonds will be
paid immediately.: : • . .
Moreover, it is officially announced that no addition
to the legal-tender notes will be made from the trea
sury. Whether any further national bank notes will
be issued at present we are not informed;'
The practical results of this conservative financial
policy are variously estimated. Seine think that it will
produce & spasmodic stringency in the money market,
and that by suddenly locking up the currency.and ab
sorbing the capital now accumulated in the great finau
- cial centres, it will cause a temporary pressure both on,
the stock market and on business enterprises generauyi
Others are of opinion that no such temporary evils axe
to be apprehended, but that, on the contrary, the nas
