Harpeee Alaga=iss is a favorite periodical; patrl
otic and instructive, in which grave thought and
racy burner agreeably alternate. But it so hap
pens that, with the 4st of its readers, we presume
instead of tint turning to the original articles—in
tho present month Mr. J. Ross Brown's " Tour
through Arizona" leads the van, very spiritedly,
with fine engravings—we plunge at once into Dick.
Vitee new serial, published simultaneously he. and
in London. There are four new chapters of " Our
Mutual Friend," which bring the first book to a
close. In the first of these the suspicious character
called " The Gaffer" finds his doom, being drowned
in the Thames, on a foggy, drizzly night, and his
death yet further involves the plot, for it leaves un
detected the murderer for whom the said "Gaffer
appears to have been suspected. In the next chapter
Mr. and Mrs. Boffin, who have succeeded to Im
piens° wealth, engage Mr. Rokesmitik(the "Mutual
Friend") as private secretary. Of him Dickens says:
((As on his face there was a nameless ClOed, SO on
his manner there was a shadow equally indefinable.
It was not that he was embarrassed, as on that first
night with the Wilier family ; he was habitually un
embarrassed now, and yet the something remained.
It was not that his manner was bad, as on that oc
casion ; it was now very good, as being modest, gra
cious, and reacy. Yet the something never left it.
It has been written of men who have undergone a
cruel captivity, or who have passed through a ter
rible strait, or who in self-preservation have killed
a defenceless fellow-creature, that the record thereof
has never faded from their countenances Until they
died. Was there any such record here'!" At the
same time, Mr. Wegg, the one-legged, abandons
keeping a street stall, and becomes custodian of
"The Bower," in which, by the way, Mrs. Boffin
sees ghosts. In the third chapter, the Secretary
transacts his employers' business, carefully keep
ing out of the way of Mr. Lightwood, the law
yer— probably afraid of being recognized as
the missing Julius Handiord, for whose presence a
large reward is offered. Here, too, Mrs. Boffin
goes in quest of a young boy, to adopt, and Mrs.
Betty Higdon, the children-minder, is sketched
with Dickens' old skill and genial tenderness. In
the closing chapter of this first book, the Boffins
are coming out in fun bloom, inhabiting a tuawaifi
cent mansion, and visited and feted by the Veneer
ings ane Their set. Bella Wilier has become one of
the family, and the Secretary evidently wants to
establish relations with her, a little more than
amicable. He evidently has some secret, the pos
session of which would be greatly to her advantage.
Here, too, poor Boffin, as a rich man, is set upon by
money -seekers of all ranks and classes, and becomes
very uncomfortable accordingly. Here, for the
edification of the miserables who do not read Harper
(there may be a few thousands such among the
many millions who inhabit this land), Is an extract
Showing how
THE BOFFINSES ENGAGE A. SECRETARY
"Mr. and Mrs. Boffin sat after breakfast, in the
Bower, a prey to prosperity. Mr. Boffin's face de
noted care and complication. Many disordered pa
pers were before him, and he looked at them
about as hopefully as an innocent civilian might
look at a crowd of troops whom he was required at
five - Minutes' notice to manoeuvre and review. He
had been engaged in some attempts to make notes
of these papers ; but being troubled (as men of his
stamp often are) with an exceedingly distrustful
and corrective thumb, that busy member had so
often interposed to smear his notes, that they were
little more legible than the various impressions of
itself, which blurred his nose and forehead. It is
curious to consider, in such a case as Mr.
Boffin's, what a cheap article ink is, and
how far it may be made to go. As a
grain of musk will scent a drawer for many
years, and still lose nothing appreciable of its origi
nal weight, a halfpenny worth of ink would blot
Mr. Boffin to the roots of his hair and the calves of
his legs, without inscribing a line on the paper be
fore him or appearing to diminish the inkstand.
"Mr.Boffin was in such severe literary difficulties
that his eyes were prominent and fixed, and his
breathing was stertorous, when, to the great relief
of Mrs. Boffin, who observed these symptoms with
alarm, the yard bell rang
" Who's that, I wonder l' said MTh. Boffin.
"Mr. Boffin drew a long breath, laid down his
pen, looked at his notes as doubting whether he had
the pleasure of their acquaintance, and appeared,
on a second perusal of their countenances, to belcon
fumed in his impression that he had not, when there
was announced by the hammer-headed young man
" Mr. Rokeemith.'
" sold Mr. Boffin.
" Oh, indeed! Our and the Wilfers' Mutual
Friend, my dear. Yes. Ask him to come in.'
"Mr. Rokesndth appeared.
" Sit down, Sir,' said Mr. Boffin, shaking hands
with him. Mrs. Boffin you're already acquainted
with. " Well, Sir, I am rather unprepared to see
you,
for, to tell you the truth, I've been so busy with
one thing and another that I've not had time to turn
your eller over.'
''That's apology for both of us for Mr. Rodin,
and for me as well,' said the smiling Mrs—Rodin.
`But Lot* ! we can talk it over now ; can't us
"Mr. Rokesmith bowed, thanked her, and said he
hoped so.
'Let me see then,' resumed Mr. Boffin, with his
hand to his chin. 'lt was sooretary that you named;
wasn't It?'
"'I said secretary,' assented Mr. Rokesmith
"'lt rather puzzled roe at the time,' said Mr.
Boffin, ' and it rather puzzled me and Mrs.
Boffin when we spoke of it afterward, because

have always believed a secretary to be a piece

" Certainly not,' said Mr. Rokesmiih. But lie

that Mrs. Boffin and me may never go upon the

ties he Fought to undertake, as those of general su

"`NOW, for Instance—come said Mr. Boffin, in
his porn:lour, way. 'it you catered my employ...eat.,
What could you do 3'
n I would keep exact accounts:of all the expendi
ture you sanctioned, Mr. Boffin. I would write
your letters, under your direction. I would trans
act your business with people in your pay or em

Smile at the table, arrange your papers—'
Mr. I3offin rubbed his Inky ear, and looked at his
wife.
—And so arrange them as to hare them always

ling his own blotted note In his hand; 'if you'll
turn to at these present papers, and see what you

make of you.'
No sooner sald than done.
'Apple-pie order!' said Mr. Boffin. And whatever
you do with your ink, I can't think, for you're as
clean as a whistle after it. Now, as to a letter.
'Let's,' said IVIr. Boffin, rubbing his hands in his
pleasantly childish admiration, 'lath try a letter
nest'—'To whom shall it he addreiSed, Mr. Boffin?'
—'Any one. Yourself. , 111 r. Roke:mith quickly
wrote, and then read aloud: " Mr. Boffin presents
his compliments to Mr. John Rokesmith, and begs
to say that he has decided on giving Mr. John Roke
smith a trial in the capacity he desires to fill. Mr.
Boffin takes Mr. John Rokesmith at his word, in post
poning to some indefinite period the consideration
of salary, It IS quite understood that Mr. Boffin is
in no way committed on that point. Mr. Boffin has
merely to add, that he relies on Mr. John Roke
smith's assurance that he will be faithful and ser
viceable. Mr. John Rokesmith will please enter on
his duties immediately.'
Well: Now, Noddy P cried Mrs. Boffin; clap
ping her hands, ~T .ldat is a good one P
M. Boffin was no less delighted; Indeed, in his
own bosom, he regarded both the composition Itself,
and the device that hadgiven birth to it, as a very
remarkable monument of human ingenuity.
"'And I tell you, my deary,' said Mrs. Boffin,
'that if you don't close with Mr. Roiresmith now at
once, and if you ever go a muddling yourself again
with things never meant nor made for you, you'll
have an apoplexy—besides Iron. moulding your linen
—and 3 ou'll break my heart.'
"Mr. Boffin en braced his spouse for these words
of wisdom, and then congratulating John Roke
smith on the brilliancy of his achievements, gave
him his hand in pledge of their new relations. So
did Mrs. Boffin."
A new Serial Novel by Wilkie Collins will be
commenced in the November number of Harper,
printed from advance sheets.
There are some good things in the Cornhili Maga

" Margaret Denzill's I-listory;” of which Queen
_Victoria Is said to be the author, is not of them. It
drags heavily. Much better is the new portion of
4, Wivesand Daughters, ,, Ars. Gaskell's new story
of every-day life. The Irish tale, called " The
Lovers of 13allyvorkan," is concluded, effectively
enough, but its author does not know how to write
the Munster brogue, in which yic is never put for
you, dun for does, iv for if, and so on. There is also
a long and highly Interesting notice of the Russian
account of the Crimean War, by General Todleben,
the engineer who defended Sebastopol against the
allied armies and navies of England, France, and
Turkey. Ills narrative essentially differs from the
French and English accounts of the campaign, re
spectively written by Baron de Bazancourt and Mr.
Ringlake, and shows what injustice the latter
writer did to the bravery and strategy of the
French.
In Temple Bar for September are three serial
tales—" The Doctor's Wife," by Miss Braddon,
which is feebly and sentimentally passionate ;
"Broken to Harness," by Edmund Yates, a tale of
English domestic life, full of varied incident; and
"Paid in Full," by Henry J. Byron, hitherto chief•
ly known as editor of the Comic News, and a success
ful writer of burlesque dramas, which story is more
sensational than the other two. Sala writes about
the Rue de l'Ecue, the principal street of Boulogne ;
somebody else gossips about " Towns on the Avon;"
a man•about•town relates his experiences, under
arrest for debt, in a London sponging•house, and a

REBEL DES BETIDE'S — CONVERSATION ON THE
PICKET LINES.
(Special Correspondence of The Press.]
BEEP BOTTOM, Sept. IS, 1851.
The sensation of yesterday was the arrival within
our lines of a rebel captain, who, weary of Misting
to support any longer the tottering concern of Da
vis & Co.. returned to his allegiance. Wisely con
cluding that the rebellion only bad a short time to
gap, before it would be crushed, and those engaged
in it, he CBl3lO in good time to avail himself of the
mercy of the Government. The staff officers of
Gen. Payne gathered around him, and though they
did not kill the fatted calf, they shared their best
stimulants and cigars, seated him at the mess ta
ble of the staff, and treated him with courtesy. His
statements of affairs in rebeldom were, as usual,
discouraging. The captain's company had pre
viously deserted, and he IS only following their ex•
ample. It was reported last evening that a rebel
surgeon had also come in.
The rebel pickets appear to labor under the im
pression that if they come into our lines the colored
videttes will murder them. Special efforts have
been taken to counteract this false idea and welcome
all who are disposed to lay down their arms and
take the oath of allegiance.
The absence of all thing along this part of the
picket line tends to promote a more friendly inter
change of good feelingand familiarity than is con
sistent with rigid military discipline. At this time
we can afford it, as it serves to communicate much
information to the rebels of which they stand in
great need. During the night the pickets of both
armies are advanced to a conversing distance, and
in tie morning they fall back to the regular picket
line. About the dawn of day some are disposed to
be eommunicative, and the conversation generally
affords a great deal of amusement to the hearers.
How Our Rebel Prisoners are Treated—
A, Contrast.
To the Editor of The Press :
U. S. BARRACKS, BOCK IsLAZin,
Friday, Sept. 16,
SIR in a late issue of The Press I noticed a state
ment of the condition and treatment of the Union
prisoners now in confinement in the stockade prison
at Andersonville, Ga. It is made by private Pres
cott Tracy, of the 82d Regiment New York Volun
teers, recently exchanged, and Sworn to by two fel
low-prisoners who were liberated at the same time.
The barbarity of the Southern "chivalry" is
Clearly set forth in this statement, and our Northern
people are preshnted with a vivid picture of the life
to which their soldiers are subjected, who, through
the chances of war, fall Into the enemy's hands.
With your permission I desire to contrast their
condition with that of rebel prisoners now confined
on this island, and compare the rebel system of
treatment with that accorded by the Government of
the United States to prisoners of war, In the belief
that the public may be interested and the cause
possibly served.
The Andersonville prison contains an area of
twenty-five acres, and into it are crowed thirty-Ave
thousand men, rendering it Impossible to move in
any direction without Jostling and being jostled,
while there are no buildings, not even a tree, to
shelter them from the hot sun by day or protect'
them from the heavy dews at night.
At this place nine thousand prisoners are guarded
in an enclosure containing thirty acres. There are
fine shade trees in every part of the grounds, and
each company of one hundred prisoners is allotted
a building equally as good, and nearly as commodi
ous, as those used by our own soldiers. No one is
denied shelter, but each man is allowed his place in
a barrack, and a bunk, amply haws. in which to
sleep. Let me quote Prescott 'Tracy's . words :
"Through the grounds, at nearly right-angles with •
the longer sides, runs, or ratheriecreeps, a stream
through an artificial channel, varying from five to
six feet in width, the water about ankle deep, and,
near the middle of the enclosure, spreading out into
a swamp of nearly SIX acres, filled with refuse wood,
Stumps, and debris of the camp. Before entering
this enclosure the stream, or more properly sewer,
passes through the camp of the guards, receiving
from this source and others farther up a large
amount of the vilest material, even the contents of
the sink. The water is of a dark color, and an ordi
nary glass would detect a dark sediment. This was
our only drinking and cocking water. It was our
custom to filter It as best we could, through our rem
nants of haversacks, shirts, and blouses. The re
bel authorities never removed any filth."
The Rock Island prison is kept scrupulously clean,
all dirt and rubbish being promptly removed to the
outside as soon as termed. Drains, constructed of
pine boards or planks, oxtend along each street, and
carry away all waste water, and, in case of rains,
thoroughly irrigate the whole extent of the prison
enclosure. The contents of the sinks and the refuse
atm the cook-houses are carried away and covered
with earth.
The barracks receive a careful cleansing no less
than three times per week, and the inmates are
compelled to wash. their clothing and bodies fee.
qiienily. Water in abundance. such aS our troops
Use, is supplied to them front wells on the island,
and each man is allowed soap—one•fifth of 2 pound
for five days.
"The ration of the Union prisoners consists of
eight ounces of corn bread, the cob being ground
with the kernel, and generally sour, two ounces of
condemned pork, offensive In appearance and smell ;
GecasionallT, about twice a week, two table spoon
fuls of rice, and in the place of the pork the same
amount of molasses about twice a month. This
ration is brought into camp about 4 o'clock P.
and thrown Irons the wagons to the ground. It is
the custom to consume the whole ration at once
rather than save any for the next day. The distri
buts:Q.lo6in% unequal some lose the ratiortaltogether.
No ilish or cooking utensil of any kind is allowed.
The ration is a starving one, it being too foul to be
touched, or too raw to be digested."
Tie rebel prisoner is allowed ten ounces of pork
or bacon per day, or, in lieu thereof, fourteen ounces
of fresh beef. Our regular army ration is twelve
ounces of the former or twenty ounces of the latter,
The rebel prisoner gets sixteen ounces of so% bread;
two ounces less than the Union soldier. Of beans,
the army ration tor one hundred men Is sixteen
pounds, or, in lieu thereof, ten pounds of rice. The
enemy in our hands receives twelve and a half
pounds of beans or eight of rice. Vinegar and salt
are allowed at the same rate. Nor Is the food sup
plied to them—l speak of those upon this island—of
an interior quality. The bread is from the same
bakery, the moat from the same stalls, and the rice
and beans Irons the same barrels as that issued to
the loyal soldier in blue, who stands guard over
them.
We are told that great numbers of our devoted
solders In that horrible pen at Andersonville ac
tually ale of starvation, scores every month, be
sides these who succumb to diseases originating in
the character and limited quantity of food, such as
diarrhoea, dysentery, and scurvy; that many could
be pointed out for whom such a fate was inevitable,
as they lay, or feebly walked, mere skeletons, whose
emaciation exceeded the examles given in Leslie's
.1111alratcd for June 18th, 1864." Very different is
the picture presented by the Rock Island prisoner;
for he is as happy, robust and healthy a looking
specimen of the human race as can be found any
where, who, instead of being starved to emaciation,
is so well fed that one would suppose that his com
missary-wished to discover how fat bread and beef
can make a man, A stronger and more vigorous
body of men than these prisoners cannot be found ;
surely not in our army, nor in their own, for, with
out question, their prison fare is superior to that
provided by the rebel Government, and their life of
ease evidently agrees with them better than cam
paigning against Sherman and Grant.
_ Al to clothing. that of the Andersonville prisoner
is miserable in the extreme. !! Very few have shoes
of any kind ; not two thousand have coats andpants,
and those are new corners. More than one-half are
indecently exposed, and many are naked."
The captive rebel has clothing dealt out to him as
his Old suit beecomes ragged, and is always supplied
with one pair of pants, one eoat, one hat, two shirts,
one pair of drawers, one pair of shoes, one pair of
socks, and Is nAlowed a heavy woollen blanket ; many
are possessed of two. More than that, hundreds have
received clothing through the kindness of outside
friends, who are not denied the privilege of showing
their sympathy in this manner; but in these cases
it is presumed that the prisoner so remembered has
not been a willing Soldier of the so-called Confede
racy.
In the matter of clothing, as in that of food, It is
fair to estimate that the condition of the Southern
soldier is not affected for the worse, by his transfer
from the army to a Northern prison.
Apropos, I will relate a significant incident which
recently occurred here. The quartermaster was
issuing blankets to the prisoners, and found in his
lot one that had probably seen better days, yet was
a good, substantial article. This he dealt to one of
the "chivalry"—some Roger A. Pryor • what ! such
a blanket as that ! horrors ! no ; and offended
rebel swore that "if he could not haVe a better
blanket than that he would have none."
Let me here add, incidentally, that much of the
Clothing issued to this prison has been captured
from blockade-runners; some being of English and
some of French manufacture; the residue is con
demned Government property.
"Letters from home seldom reach the Union pri
soner, and few have any means of writing." On the
other hand, hundreds of letters, many of them eon
tairing money, are daily distributed among the
prisoners, and as many are written and Sent away.
All money coming through the mail is given to the
person for whom it is sent, who can obtain stationa
ry, articles of clothing, &c., with it, through the
agency of the prison sutler.
When a rebel prisoner dies his remains are placed
in a pine box and interred by his comrades. A
board is placed at his head with a-number inscribed
thereon, by which his identity can be established.
Our Union martyrs who yield up their lives in the
great slaughter-pen in 14eorgia, victims, in most
cases, of the barbarity and fiendish cruelty of the
rebels, are interred by their surviving companions,
"twenty-five bodies being placed in a pit, without
head boards, and the sad duty performed with inde
cent haste, those comrades wrangling over the dead
body as to who shall get the 'job,' their reward
being a few sticks of fire-wood."
"The *dead line' bullet," says Prescott Tracy,
"spared no offender ; about two a day were shot,
some being cases of suicide, brought on by mental
depression or physical misery—the poor fellows
throwing themselves upon, or madly rushing out•
side of the fatal line,' "
Reba an instance of a prisoner being shotis of rare
occurrence, and Since this prison was established,
eleven months ago, but two or three have been
killed, in these cases the guards were acting in the
full line of duty, and had they not been would have
been court-martialed and punished , if proven guilty.
This comparison might be continued further upon
the data I already possess, but I do not wish to oc
cupy too much of your space, When the full history
01 rebel cruelty shall have been written, and every
act of rebel atrocity to Union prisoners shall have
been recorded, as some day, after the rebellion shall
have perished in infamy, it doubtless will be,
this
contrast may be set forth even more distinctly than
at present, and the world will sit in judgment upon
the means traitors adopted to overthrow a great
and beneficent Government and erect d, slavehold-,
ing empire upon the American continent. Will not
the verdict of mankind be that a nation so esta
blished had no right to existence 1 W. A.
'What They Propose to Do, if Defeated.
To the Editor of The Press,
Sin On last .Friday opening i was not very much
astounded, knowing the character of the man, to
hear United States Senator James Wail, or Pfew
Jersey, boldly assert that President , Lincoln was
a despotic tyrant and usurper, and that he should
be burled from power : and that certain parties bad
their agents abroad to procure the services of the
vilest portion of a foreign population for the ex
press purpose of entering our army to spill the very
best bleed of Oar nation in the South, and kill off
our very best citizens. But I was somewhat asto
nished, even knowing the man, to hear him openly
assert that if such and such things were done, and
that if McClellan were not elected, that he (Mc-
Clellan) would come out and place himself at the
held of a force that would put him in the Presiden
tial chair, and said "we can raise a million of men,
itOtit polarity or pay, for that purpose."
Thus you see that certain creatures do not only
sympathize with and justify rebellion, but also
threaten another one should their plans or acts be
interfered with, and they consider it a great crime
to shoot back at rebels in arms against the Govern
n•ent, inasmuch as we would thereby, according to
their views, Le spilling . the very best blood of the na
tion.
now humiliating it IS that - We have some men
placed high in authority by partisans who love party
more than country. Is not the leniency of the Ad.
mit,istratlon developed, perhaps to a fault, in thus
permitting the promulgation of such disloyalty, and
permitting the perpetrators thereof to run at large'?
/8 not - this or itself a sufficient refutation of the al:
l e ged intolerancy of the Administration?

published 1,200 volumes. It is not for me to
appreciate their literary merits. Translated
into all tongues, they have gone as far as steam
could carry them. Although the least worthy
of the three, In the five parts of the world I have
become the most popular, because one is a
thinker, the other a, dreamer, while I write for
all (Je suis, mot, un vulgaricateur). Of these 1,200
volumes there is not one but could be given
to any workman of the Faubourg St. Antoine, the

Well, sire, in the eyes of the censor I am the most

of Cleves and ‘Balsamo, , which plays I am
writing now. I do not complain any more for
the 'Mohicans' than for my other dramas. I
would observe to your Majesty that during the
three years of the Restoration of Charles X., during
the eighteen years' reign of Louis Philippe, I never
had a piece either suspended or arrested, and I add,
for your 'Majesty alone, that it appears to me unjust
to make a single dramatic author lose more than
half a million, when so many men, who do not de
serve the name, are encouraged and supported. I
appeal, then, for the first and probably for the last
time, to the prince whose hand I had the honor to
press at Arenenberg, at Ham, and at the Elysee,
and wile, finding me a devoted proselyte when he
was on tae road to exile and the road to prison, has

This letter was handed to the Emperor by Mar

effect desired, for the "itlohicans" has been played,

Tun ARBUST or Murama. —The announcement
of the arrest of the alleged railroad murderer, Mul
ler, caused great satisfaction in London. An extra
was issued by the Times announcing the the arrest,
and the Star printed a second edition. A letter from
London to the Liverpool Mercury says :
"Nothing else, in fact, was talked of throughout
the day—in clubs, in bar-rooms, in dining-hails, at
the corners of streets, on the bridges, on boarciAhe
steamboats—everywhere. There was unalloyed de
light manifested that the man whoby universal con
sent is believed to be the real murderer was under
Safe keeping ; but the intelligence was so meagre
connected with the account telegraphed of his ap
prehension, that the public may be literally said to.
have thirsted for more minute details. Of course,
in the absence of these details, their imaginations
were fertile. But then they would have given any
price for a third, fourth, fifth, or any other edition
which would contain further particulars, telling
them what were the exact words he used, and the
manner in which he comported himself under the
fearful circumstances in which he found himself at
last on board the Victoria. For these particulars,
however, they must wait a few days. Meanwhile,
they must remain satisfied with the few lines the
telegraphed has conveyed."
PIINSIONS ry EivoLam).—The public annuity and
pension list in England changes every year. The
nuance accounts recently Issued for the year ending
with March, 1864, introduce for the first time the
names of the Prince and Princess of Wales for their
respective annuities of £lO,OOO, and £lO,OOO a year.
The other royal annuities remain the same as before
: For the House of Cambridge, £24 000 ; the
Princess of Prussia, £8,000; the Princes's Louis,
..{O,OOO. The perpetual pensions remain the same—
the heirs of William Penn h=ailing the list with
their £4,000 a year, to be paid as long as time and
the Treasury shall last. The grant to the Canning
fatally disappears from the list, and so does the re
tiring. pension of Lord Lyndhurst ; but there still
remain four English ex. Chancellors receiving their
£6.000 a year and there are two Irish Ca Chancel

American Battles.
(From the London Times, Sept. 6.7
The singular prolixity of American conflicts pro
bably expresses something beyond a mere parity of
military force. It is, perhaps, a result of the tactics
employed. Four great armies, under as many
chosen generals, have now been in close contact for
weeks, and even months together, without any
achievement which Can be regarded as decisive.
The fighting has been desperate ; but though each
particular battle may bring a repulse to one side
or the other, there is nothing like absolute dis
comfiture. We are applying these remarks, not to
the actual march of Grant upon Richmond, or of
Sherman upon Atlanta, but to the operations which
have been reported since each of these commanders
closed bodily with his antagonist and commenced the
work on which he had set out. In neither case does
it appear that the proceedings resemble those of a
siege. Grant is not formally besieging even. Pc
tersbu'g, much less Richmond, nor can Sherman
effect any thing like a regular investment of Atlanta.
From the latter quarter, indeed, the only autb.entie
intelligence represents Hood as having been largely
reinforced—a sufficient proof that lilt communica
tions are completely open. If we look, however,
a little more closely at the acccunts received,
we shall discover a circumstance which will ex
plain the position of affairs. The truth is that
both in Virginia and Georgia both armies are
entrenched - alike. It is not that Grant and
Sherman beep the field while Lee and Hood
are shut up in their lines, for the Federals nave
thrown up earthworks as well as the Confederates.
As soon as Grant arrived at a point where he
could make no more " flank movements," but must
either stand or go, he constructed a little Richmond
of his own, and was presently found so strongly
entrenched that Loe declined the cost of assaulting
him in his position. 'Exactly the same thing took
place at Atlanta. Sherman marched after John
ston in resolute pursuit until he readied the City he
wished to capture, when he immediately threw up
lieldworks and ensconced himself in his lines. The
result is that in Georgia as well as Virginia the
main body of each army holds a secure position, and
they only fight each other, as it were, by sorties.
Ibis is probably one consequence of the improve.
meats in firearms. RreeeieloaderS and earthworks
appear to form the strongest combination of offen
sive and defensive power, and it is somewhat re
markable that the result Is directly opposed to
the theories formerly prevailing. It was a maxim
of military science that earthworks Could never
stop good infantry; the meaning being that the
slope at which such works were necessarily con
structed could always be ascended by soldiers
brave enough to face the fire of the defenders. But
it now seems that the deadliness and rapidity of the
lire maintained by breech-loading rifles Is more than
can be endured. Grant's heaviest losses have been
encountered in his attempts to storm the earthworks
of the Confederates, and Lee foresaw a similar dan
ger so clearly that he refused to run the risk of it,
and left Grant undisturbed within his lines. That
this is the true history of affairs is plain from the
incident reported of the battle of Cold Harbor—that
the attack lasted scarcely ten minutes. It was
much the same after the explosion of the mine at
Petersburg. A quarter of an hour of such a fire as
good troops well armed can now maintain Is
enough to stretch whole divisions on the ground.
Grant, in one of his assaults on the Con
federate lines, must have lost a thousand men
a minute. There was nothing like this in former
times, though our own attack upon New Orleans
did foreshadow these modern tactics to some extent.
In fact, the Americans, in their civil war, appear to
have been perfecting the original tactics of their
countrymen. They were the first people to discern
the value of scientific Musketry aided by defensive
works, and they have now carried both principles
to an extent never known before.
The essence in this strategy consists In sheltering
yourself, as far as possible, while you keep the enemy
within reach of your tire, and it is just as applicable
to naval as to military tactics. At Charleston the
booms, chains, stakes, and torpedoes represented
on the water what earthworks and mines would
be on land, Admiral Dahlgren could not get
through these works, and though- the armor of
modern frigates protects them from the destruction
to which they would otherwise be exposed, yet the
losses of the attacking squadron were occasionally
serious, and the expeditiouproved a failure. Whether
the attack upon Mobile will be more successful Is
what remains to be seen, but the character of the
Impending conflict is discernible already. Admiral
Parragut has proved himself a resolute Hainan ; In
fact, he seems as obstinately bent upon winning as
General Grant himself, but his proceedings are very
slow now that he has entered the harbor. Aided, it
seems, by treachery or incompetence on the part of
en officer in comMand of a fort, he did succeed
in running between the entrance batteries without
much loss. One of his iron-clads was blown up by
a torpedo—the first complete success of such a
machine 5 and the wooden vessels of his SuadrOn.
including his own flagship, were seriously damaged
by a Confederate iron-clad in the harbor; but he
accomplished his first step, and entered the port.
Here, however, he l i delayed by one defence alter
another, and it depends upon the combination of
armaments and obstructions at the-command of the.
Confederates whether he wing or loses. If he can
be kept long enough under the fire of good artillery
even his flotilla of monitors may be forced to re
treat,
It must not be forgotten that though fortifications
enter thus largely into the machinery of this despe•
rate war, they must, in most Instances, have been
extemporized, America Was the one country in the
n hole world without strong places and fortified towns
except on the Sea coast. Even Richmond and Wash
ington have been fortified since the war began, and
probably we may learn by and by something more of
a system which Todleben introduced, but which
Beauregard and his colleagues have developed.
We.are assured that Richmond—as open a town four
years ago as Brantford or Croydon—is now one of
the strongest places in the world. We know that
'Vicksburg, hastily encircled with defensive works,
resisted every hostile attack, and yielded only to
famine. The very man who took it cannot
succeed, though still at the head of a large force, in
taking the little country town of Petersburg. It is
not easy to see the design of Grant's late operations,
but they appear to be directed against the communi
cations of Petersburg, with the hope of establishing
such a blockade of that town as may possibly In the
end lead to its surrender, and thusperhaps open one
of the roads to Richmond. The defences themselves
are too strong even for the reckless obstinacy of the
Northern commander, and if he cannot effect his
purpose indirectly he must give it up altogether. Yet
these fortifications had never been heard of till the
otter day, when the little place all of a sudden was
found to be an Antwerp or a Mantua In strength.
These remarks will help to explain the successful
resistance of the South against an enemy so superior
In numbers and resources. Without doubt, the
chief credit is due to the energy and courage of
the Southern population ; lint the Confederate
engineers have shown that true mastery of sei
nes which consists in turning actual circum
stances to immediateacconnt. Beginning with old
fashioned muskets the Southerners advanced to
breech-loaders as rapidly as their means would
permit, and then economized their strength by the
adoption of fortifications at every point. Grant
finds himself in an extemporized quadrilateral.
Whichever way he turns the defences of the enemy
are tco etrona for him, and so, in despair of doing
any thing else, he attempts to reduce him to surren
der by breaking up the railroads. This, however,
is a work of time, and the result to which it might
lend would be distant still, whereas there is no
longer any time to spare. So long and so skilfully
bane the Confederates maintained their defence
that the IFsue of the strife will now probably be de
termined by the rclitleal quarrels of their
assail
eats.

Loyalty of New Jersey Baptists.
To the Editor of The Press:
SIR: Please publish the following resolutions
passed by the a West New Jersey Baptist Asepsis.
tion, ,, at their meeting held in Pemberton on the
13th of this month. Whatever doubts may be
thrown on the loyalty . of New Jersey, the Baptiste
of this part of the State stand firm to the Union of
our Fathers :
Resolved, That civil government, whether among
Christian or Pagan nations, is an ordinance of God,
intended to establish natural justice among men,
and that our American Government is the nearest
approach to right since the institutions of Moses.
Resolved, Therefore, that this Southern conspira
cy against our nation's life is thegreatest political
atrocity since Israel rebelled against Jehovah.
Resolved, That as the Lord appointed war, pestt-
Ise se, and famine to humble and subjugate the
Jews. So we believe this nation has His sanetion
for making the costliest sacrifice of treasure and
blood that history records, in order to exterminate,
even with fire and sword , ' those devoted agents of
disunion and barbarism who perseveringly swear
that they will destroy the Union or themselves.
Resolved, That the measures thus far employed by
our public representatives, and sanctioned by the
people, have, for the most part, been right and expe
dient ; and that their results do, just now, afford
abundant hope of the triumph of iwtice, liberty,
and humanity.
Resolved, That any terms or peace short of tin
qualified submission by the rebels would be an act
of unparalleled treason against the industrial, se
sta], and moral interests of man, and a mockery of
the Divine Providence which has so eminently ex-
alted us In the political heavens to be the Polar
star of liberty to the human race
WOOM , TOWN, New Jersey.
Calling. Names.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: Considerable misapprehension seems to exist
in the public mind as to the real name of the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency, and the correct
orthography of his frame would likewise appear to
be a mooted point. The result is partly attributable
to ignorance, and partly, it is to be feared, to the
malicious spirit of perversion prevalent in all politi
cal contests. WO have heard the Chicago nominee
alternately spoken of as McLennigaia,
McClelland, and Mica Allen. Maliciousness goes a
little iartber than this, and dubs him Very Little
Mac, Fitz-Napoleon, Gunboat McClellan, etc.
These errors are very natural, but it is nevertheless
well that they shall be corrected. /cm able to state
ovihosilolitotly that the correct name Of the Demo
°ratio candidate is George B. McClellan, not Me-
Clenagan. Let us have
,justice on all sides. No.

see his name wrongly printed in the papers.

The London money news creates some degree of
amusement that a real panic in the English fends and fan
cy speculations on the Lot don Exchange should have fol.
lowed the mere talk of peace from this side. The effect . on
cotton at Liverpool was in like proportion, aid the ad
vance of the rate of interest at the Bank of England to
o per sent. was probably hastened by the same cause.
On the other hand, our United States stocks rose 3 per
cent. The solution of this extraordinary state of things
in a money market of so much wealth and importance as
that cf London, is traced by the leading organs in Eng
lish opinion to excessive spoor:dation in all foreign funds,
other than United States, and in every species of joint
stock concerns, both foreign and domestic, and especial
ly for banking all over the - world—except in. the Unita.
States. These sources of absorption have fairly run the

diced against our United States stocks, but are free
traders of and speculators in every other description
of foreign funds. Not so, the Continental people, they
believe in our stocks; have taken them freely at cheap

of oft er foreign securities.
