English tourists are known all over tho Eu
ropean continent by.the red books whtck; they al
ways- have in hand, perpetually consult, and im
plicitly rely,on. These are Murray’s Hand-Books,
vcryuseful and generally correct, but diffuse and
costly./ An entire set of these would cost somewhat
about $l5O in England, and: more than double that
sum here, at the present price of gold. As tlio only
guide-books of any value, American tourists were
compelled to use Murray's. Hand-Books, flu 1862 r
‘Messrs. Harper and Brothers, the enterprising New
Yerk publishers, “hitting the blot," (as wo say in
out in one volume, large
12mo, of some 600 -pages, beautifully printed, well
indexed, enriohed with a map, in which the routes
were neatly colored, and bound In morocco, in
poeketrbook form, anew “Hand-Book for Travellers
in Europe and the East.” The third annual edition,
with revisions and additions, has just bson pub
lished, and very complete it is, very comprehen
sive, too; for it is a guide through Great Bri
tain and Ireland, France, Belgium, Holland,
Germany, Italy, Sicily, Egypt, Syria, Turkey,-
Greece, Switzerland, Tyrol, Spain, Russia, Den
mark, and Sweden; Here, the result' of' good
sense and careful observation, Is an immense amount
of information about tho various countries which
American travellers go across the sea to visit - This
handy -volume, we venture to say, will be found hot
ter. adapted for Americans than Mr. Murray’s en
tire red-covered library, and, for five dollars, hero is
a reliable vademecum for all who wish to travel in
Europe and the East. Eminently reliable It is, for
Mr. W. P. Fetridge, who’ wrote it, has: personal
knowledge, from frequent visits, of the various
countries which ho describes; The amount of infor
mation he has collected here is immense. ' This year,
be rewrote and recast the greater portion ofthe book
after returning from his sixth annual visit to Europe,
and it is now brought down to July, 1801, two years
later thari any European hand-book published.
The same publishers have lately issued tho fourth
volume of Carlyle’s History of Frederick the Great.
Our former notice touched chiefly upon the events
descrihcd hy the author, but we now-.desire to point
out that -this and the preceding volume contain
some vory racy bits of liteiary history; the whole
connexion of Yoltairo with Frederick of; Prussia
being here related in detail, and as amusing as a
remanco..
Speaking of romances reminds us that Messrs.-
Harper kayo just rhpubllshed “ Lindisfarn Chase,”
a novel of English society forty years back, by T.
Adolphus Trollope, son of the “ Domestic Manners
of the Americans” lady, and brother of the author
of “Doctor Thorne” and other popular novels, We
havefnot often been so much interested In any work
of fiction as In this. The characters are well indi
viduaiixed—though Sir. Mat does somewhat, re
mind us of -Master Simon, !n“ Bracebridge Hall,”
and Dr. Lindisfarn, the Canon, and his fino wife
extravagant and not In good keeping. But the
author; especially, shows himself ;an artist in his
portraits of Kate and Margaret, the heroines of the
story. English breeding and French training are
hero well exhibited, by contrast. The, Sketches of
the Falconers, father and son, and particularly of
Mr. Slowcomc, a sententious attorney of the old
school, are forcibly drawn.
T. Boss Browne, whose first book was 11 Etchings
of a Whaling Cruise,'.’, has travelled far and wide,
and is the author of some of the very best narratives
of adventurous wandering that have appeared in
Harper’s Magazine. A volume of these sketches
has just appeared. It consists of “Crusoe’s Island,
a Bamble in the Footsteps of Alexander, Selkirk,”
(amusing and spirited, which all friends of Robinson
Crusoe win gladly read). “A Dangerous Journey”
from San Francisco through the Salinas and Santa
Marguerila Valleys to San Louis Obispo, o Obser
vations in 'Office,” which are all dull enough, and
“A Peep at Washoe,” crowded with'incident,
perils, and reverses'. The book has iu very good
wood cuts, and Is altogether worthy of being bought
and road.
The first book of “Our Mutual Friend,” by Dick
ons, has been published, In a neat Id mo volume, by
John Bradburn, New York. It contains all the
Story, as far as it has yet appeared In Harper’s Maga
zine. Mr. Bradburn, however, does not give all
the engravings which have been published by the
Harpers; The story possesses great interest, and
some portions are equal to the most striking scenes
in Dickens’ best works. , -
11 Ylctoire.” also published by Mr. Bradburn, is
the story of a youDg-French artist," who marries in
New York, white she has a strong emotional affini
ty for a man whom she had met only for a minute,
long before she became a wife. Tiie tale is written
with decided ability, particularly the -glimpses of
boarding-house life in New York,' and the fresh
ness as well as force of style seems to indicate a
now writer who may have future brilliant success,
provided sho does not write too much.
Fanny Fern lias fallen Into the error of-writing
perpetually, and lending hasty and 111-considered
productions to the press. Her “Now Story-Book
for Children,” published by Mason Brothers, ol
New York, cannot be recommended. It is very
carelessly written, (in a familiar,. slip-slop style
which children should be taught not to i mitate.) and
the authoress seems to imply, throughout the book,
that she condescends when she writes for children.
•The opening story commences “Nobody could be
more astonished than I, to find myself famous.”
Bad grammar and egotism are hore combined. The
question is she “ famous ” nead-not be put. Weekly
columns of pert commonplace, and the very
middling novel of “Ruth Hall,” have mado Fanny
Fein known, but not famous. Her husband, Mr.
James Barton—whose biographies of Aaron Burr,
Andrew Jackson, and Benjamin Fran min are
among the best in our language—really has won his
spurs, and his works and name will live when his
wife’s feeble yet pretentious effusions are forgot
ten! A person writing for children should instruct,
and not mislead them." 'Writing of George Ste
phenson, the railway man, Fanny Fern erroneously
states that be built the “ two-mild bridge across tbs
St. Lawrence,” became a member of Parliament.;
and bad a public funeral at Westminster Ab
bey,—whereas all these things happened to his
only son, Robert. Th e “ New Story-Book for Child
ren ” cannot be recommended for anything, but is
an ostentatious failure.
Those who purchase, and even those who read
books, must baye noticed the peculiarly elegant
printing of the Riverside press, looated at Cam
bridge, which is,, dofacto, ,part and parcel of Bos- ’
ton. That press, of which H. O. Houghton & Coh
ans proprietors, has deservedly won its reputation.
A few months ago, : Ma (Houghton, determined to
publish'aswell as stereotype and print, commonoed
buslness ih New York vrtth an experienced partner,
and the firm of Hurd & Houghton bids fair to offer
formidable, albeit friendly rivalry to the great pub
lishing,houses of Manhattan. A great many an
nonneements have already been made. The only
worfis which we have; seen are “ The Amenities of
Literature,”.by the late Isaac Disraeli, In two vo
lumes, crowh octavo, edited by his son, (thenovellst
and statesman,) to match with* Mr. Veazie’s beau
tiful edition of the Curiosities, by the same author.
"We observe that Mr. Teazle's name Is also on the
imprint of the “Amenities,” which is its author’s
very latest work, a considerable part of It haying
been written down by his daughter from dictation,
after he bad lost his sight. 1 This Is a delightful and
instructive, as wcli as a thoroughly amiable work,
and we accept it as a valuable addition to our stan
dard literature. Print, paper, and binding are ex
cellent, and there is a capital index. This Ame
rican is much better than the English edition.
' Another volume published by H. &H. is •“The 1
Art-Idea,” being the second part of “ Confessions
of an Inquirer,” by James Jackson Jarves. When
this author wrote about life In Paris and in Rome
' he was upon ground iamiliar to him, and he wrote
as one who fully understood his subject. Upon
Art, however, he is diffuse, peremptory y»and tran
scendental, besides bcingeften partial. 'His Pre;
liminary Talk, in the present volume, is egotistical
and querulous, chiefly about some Italian pictures
#bich be has collected and wants to sell. In the
body .of the book ho exalts “ The Round Table,”
(how defunct), and assails the art-erltio of Harper’s
/.Magazine. In ills enumeration of good American
artists, he merely names Sully, and makes' no men
tion of Rothermel, Hamilton,- and other Philadel
phia painters.. . ’ ,
An unusually attra'ctiye book, which' ; old. and
young may ; read with equal pleasure, Is our very
old acquaintance, companion of our .school-days,
“ The History of Sanford and Merton,” by Thomas
Day, first published some eighty years ago, and re.
vised and eorreoted by Cecil Hartley;, M. A., and
"illustrated with fine engravings. This volume
ranks in English juvenile libraries very near, “Ro
binson Crusoo,” and is more to our taste than:
Miss Edgeworth’s “Frank.” It will be followed,
we believe, by many other reprints of first-class
children’s books. A '
AM ARCH Street.
The melancholy narrative and death-dirge of the
Death and -Burial of Poor Cock Robin, from origi
nal designs, byH. L. Stephens, Is another of Hurd &
Houghton’s,publications. It is solemnly ludicrous;
witt birds’, insects’, and animals’ heads upon hu
man forms, quaintly attired in old fashions. Some
of these are grave burlesques, and all will find
groat favor in tbe eyes of young, folks. We notice
a concluding yerse ;; here, now to us until -now; In
which poetical and legal justice is done upon the
ruthless author of the cruel murder. . After relating
how all the birds of the air fell to sighing and sob.
bing, when they heard the bell for poor Cook Robin,
the poetical historian adds :
" While the cruel Cock Sparrow,
The cause of their grief, , , ,
Was hung oh a gibbet
Next dav, life a thief. ” . . .
The lithographed designs are printed on tinted
paper, and the letter-press is In letters of gold.
Hurd & Houghton’^publications can be obtained
from J. B. Llppincott &. Co., Market Btroet.
' John Stuart Mill, eon of the Historian of British
India, is one of the few political English writers
Who have sustained and justified- the conduct of tho

of .the slave States. As a political -economist and
logician he stands-high. During i the last
years he has contributed largely to the Edinburgh
and Westminster Reviews. - His Essay.“ On Liberty”
is, indeed, one of the ablest arguments for the

Letter from n.TYorklngnian to General

toll our littlo ones that the war is (causing ;our pri

overl” I, for .one, tell them what I now tell you,
that,l though sfeeling;;: deeply the pressure, of the
times, lam not so much concerned about when it
wiil encKas Jam about Aowi twill end; and lam
quite sure'that every good citizen; whether native
or adopted, should look well after the ftoio, and leave
the when forrecreants arid cowards to ponder upon.
The workingmen,, of ,America, , and the.iworking
meh of the world, I might say, have a very strong
desire that there shall be a Great Republic upon this
Continent, a standing demonstration of the feasi
bility and utility of self-government, a, refuge for.
the oppressed.of the badly-arranged communities of
Europe, and an; abiding-place for the desoendants
oi t]ie patriotic heroes who baptized the Republic,
with their blood. It would indeed be base ingrati-'
tudo to allow that to fall to pieces which they built
up. I acknowledge, that if wo ’know that posterity
would be indifferent and lukewarm in the perpetu
ation of free .institutions, self-sacrifice would be out
of the (question ; we might say, “ Erring sisters, go
in peace.” But,
‘I Hope springs eternal' in the human breast, ’ ’
and our confidence in the' patriotism of the future
should bo our inspirations In the present.
If you have still patience with, me, I will venture
a few words, upon the vexed question of slavery.
I think you'will agree with' me that slavery has
played havoc with:.the good feeling and mutual re
spect of the inhabitants.of the; two sections of this
great country. It has been a blot upon our flag.
It has dimmed* the lustre which should have been
an adornment to our halls of Legislation. :It has
been what it ever will be, so long as it exists, a bone
of contention from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from
the Gulf of Mexico to Minnesota. It has caused
wrangling at,Home and disrespect abroad: Avarice
has doted upon it, but humanity has blushed at it.
As an expedient, many good citizens havebeen will
ing to allow, it. As an infamous crime, all,good
people from Washington, down ward have denounced
and abhorred It. But in the words of a late issue of
a Richmond paper, “ It has stabbed itself at last.”
When Thomas Paine’wrote his “Crisis,” events
upon this Continent were not in half so critical-a ,
condition as they now are; then defeat would only
ha ve postponed independence, but now such Is the
magnitude rind , resources’ of ( the foe that defeat is
death. - Two of the; strongest Governments-in Eu
rope would gloat over our downfall, and; then
stretch out their hands to help the Confederacy to
make itself a'nation jga republic at first, and then a
monarchy. The South worships caste;
Franco was a Republic for a beginning after the ;
revolution in 1848, but what is it no wL, Ask, Victor
Hugo, Louis Blanc, and the thousands of refugees
in this country. Louis* Napoleon was too shrewd a
man to suggest an empire at first. Of course he
was.: The Republic was the-mearis, the Empire the
end. What have we to guide us In the future but
the lessons of the past. British" Provinces on the
one hand, a Southern Monarchy on the other, with
a Mexican Empire: as a sort of makeweight—with
this Trinity of enemies. General Monarcay could
pounce down on General Republic In three columns.
I think the . Monroe doctrine will stand a poor
chance In this,ancoiiiter. Small Republics exist on
: sufferance. They are not worth 1 knocking down;
but greafcßepublics are the hope of the oppressed
and ihe dread of the tyrant, Shall, ours belong to
the former or tho latter 1" Tho Issue of this contest
with the South will determine.
The party which nominated you at Chicago ob
ject to the abolition of slavery on the ground that
the riegro would be brought .into competition with
the white people In the .labor mart. This means
they (will make more assiduous, more' trustworthy
and better servants than white people; . White peo
ple should blush for shame at such a humiliating
oonfesiion; the'atatemeno besides being foolish, has
the misfortune to be untrue. But the same party,
forgetting Itself, say that the negro will not . work
for him, that he has the propensity of laziness large.
A Democratic speaker at Norristown said, “ You
must have the nigger either on your shoulders, or
under yofir'Jeet.” “ Oh; (shame, whore is thy
blush V 1 Yqur.party say that ; the negro will work,
and they say he .will not work.;. If he will work he
is deserving of pay ; lf he will not work, the white
laborer need not (ear him as a competitor for his

The following account of a late reception of this
gallant soldier is taken from the Chicago Times:
Major General Joseph Hooker, who was recently
appointed to the command of the Department of the
Ghio; arrived in Chicago on Friday evening, and
had a public reception at the Tremont House. Gen. ‘
Hookjer was accompanied by Maj. Stetson and Maj.
Lawrence of his staff, and was met at the depot by
the committee of the board; of trade, consisting Of
Col, J. L: Hancock, Col. R. W. Hough, and Col..
J, H. Tucker. After he had been welcomed by the
committee* to the city, the party entered the car
riages which were in waiting, and drove to the Tre
mont House, where a large assembly of<persons had,
congregated in the rotunda.
The Great Western Light Guard Band was in at
tendance and performed a number of spirited airs.
Col. J. L. Hancock called the assemblage to order,
and said'.v “T have the extreme pleasure of intro
ducing to you Major. Gen. Joseph Hooker, who will
now address you ” ; [Loud cheers.]
Maj. Gen. Hooker, who was received with three
cheers, said: ,»
■Feixow-citizens : 1 have been in your city but
a.few minutes, and I had that happen tojme which
“have never experienced since the beginning of the',
rebellion—l have boen Captured. [Laughter and
applause;]; I have been surprised at the;manner in
which it has been done. ,I came here purely on.

[Loud cheers]
: The band then played the ” Star Spangled Ban
ner” while the crowdypassed in review before
General Hooker, shaking him by the hand as they
passed.
Three cheers having been given for “Fighting
Joe,” the assemblage quietly,dispersed.
The next day the General was introduced to the
Board, of Trade.-' After the applause with which he
was received had subsided, hesaid

The stay of Gen, Price in Missouri is longer than
we had anticipated. Tho latest accounts represent
him as having moving his headquarters from Boone.,
ville to : Lexingtoh,‘and tha't'hls'fordeß are spread
ing out through the mid-region of the State at their
work of conscription,- pltmder, and devastation.
They have now gotten beyond the region of the
railroads, and are not likely to do much more damage
to them; Therohavo boenno military reverses con
sequent upon tho rebel march to the Sllssourl. Our
little, scattered ghrrlsons had withdrawn before the
rebel army, leaving very* little- in the way of pro
visions and baggage'to the enemyi _ Neither have
there been any military successes over which we
may feel proud. .
Gen. Sanborn, with some five thousand cavalry,
has kept up a kind of pursuit at the heels of the
enemy; hut must have long ago come to a stand for
want of forage and food. It would be useless to ex
pect such a force to encounter the whole rebel army,
and the smaller detachments will be sure to get
away. Gen.'Roseerans is himself at Jefferson pity,
where he' is - concentrating a large force of troops.
Gen. Fisk, who had been despatched wlth-.a force
of fifteen- hundred men on the north-sido of the
river, has been recalled, to Jefferson, probably be
cause his'foroe was too small to engago the enemy
successfully. An engineer forco Is putting the rail
road" in order asYast ais it can bo done, but two
months must elapse bofoye the; large bridges across
the Gasconade and Osage can be rebuilt. At pre
sent communication is kept up by rail to Washing
ton; sixty miles out, and thence to .Tefferson by boat,
eighty miles. Some daiys must elapse before a suf
ficiency of transportation and supplies can be ship
ped up to enable Roseerans to take the field with
tho main army.
' We had a report that Brig.'Gen. Olarke (rebel)
had crossed the Missouri to ravage the north shore.
There is some doubt now about the numbers, but It
is certain that two columns of guerillas, between
one and two thousand, have orossed at Rochoport
and Booneville to join Price. It is probable that
many of them, may return to get horses.
We see it stated that Prlce takqj every man who
is able-bodied, except the enrolled militia or the
Federals. The latter Jhe paroles. In this way he
may (succeed In getting four or five thousand re.
crufts in the State. Many of them, however, will
only remain so long as there is plenty to oat, drink, ■
an d make merry upon. This is the expected uprising
of the people about which Price, pscudo-Governor
Reynold s, and other rebel wind bags have been talk
ing.
On the other side of the rebel force we are glad to
see that the Kansans, under General Curtis -and
Gov. Carney, are thoroughly aroused to the emer
gency. General Roseefais estimates the rebel;
strength, as will he seen by his telegrams to Ourtls,
at fifteen thousand infantry. The Kansas papers
say.the responses are unanimous, and that twenty'
five thousand men will rally to the'border for tho
defence. This number js perhaps overstated, but
all who know the Kansans know that they will
■be. sufficient to meet that many rebels. The follow
ing is a despatch sent to General Curtis:
■ Hkabquarters, St. Louis, October 10.
Price’s movements .are not known, but .he has
avowed his Intention to go’ to Leavenworth. If he"
will try this it our columns upder Mow
er arid Smith ancßPlir cavalry ,toget between them
arid tbe Osage; and they will suffer. They spread
and stretch out for subsistence; therefore ,your ca
valry can forcibly strike tho heads of their columns
and hurt and retard their march; The telegraph
lines are so interrupted it'will be difficult to com
municate with you. W. S. Rosecrans,
■ Major General.
The proclamation Is as follows:
Stats of "ICaksas, Executive Department,
Topeka, Oot. 8,1861.
Tbe State is in peril. Price and his, rebel host
threaten it with invasion. Kansas mast be ready
to hurl them back at any cost. .
The necessity is urgent. The extent of tjjat ne
cessity the subjoined communications from Major
General Curtis to me will establish: •

His Excellency Governor Carney: . ■
The rebel, farces under Gen. Price have made a
further advance westward, crossing the Gasconade,'
and are now at the . railroad bridge on the Osage,
about fifteen miles below Jeffersen City. Large
Federal forces about St.;Louis*and below tend to
drive him towards Kansa s. Other motives als.o will
induce his fiendish followers to seek spoils and ven
geance in this State. I'-.-v;... :
To prevent this, and j oin in efforts to expel these
invaders from the country, I desire that you will
call out the entire militia force, with their best arms’
and ammunition, for a'period of thirty days. Each
man should be provided with two blankets or a
buffalo robe, for comfort, and a haversack for.carry
ing provisions; No change of clothing is neeessary.
1 want.thls force assembled on the border, mainly:
at Olathe, as soon as possible. For that purpose
let farmers’teams, with provisions and forage, be
employed to hurry them forward. I will, do all in
my power to provide provisions and public trans
portation, but hope every man will be as self-sus-'
valuing as possible, and ready to join mo In’ priva
tions, hardships,’and dangers to aid our comrades
;in Missouri in destroying these rebel forces.before
they again desolate the (fair fields.of Kansas. It is
necessary to suspend business and labor until wo
are assured our property and earnings are not With

To Governor Carney:
“ request that you issue the call. Lot the militia
turn out. If not needed they will, of course, be dis
charged. Their oall and collection would enable U 3,
at least, to give an-impetus to Priee’sjeparture. In
your prompt responses-to; my requests heretofore, I
am sure we have saved; the state from desolation'.;
Let us do it now. The enemy Is now.near Sedalia,
and a fight is expeoted thiere to-night. They have
burned Syraouse, Lamina, and otterville depots
to-day. You see they are moving steadily west

S. R. Curtis, Major General.
. ICansans, rally! You will do as you have always ~
promptly done when your soil has been invaded.
The call this time will come to you louder and
stronger, because you know the foe will seek to glut.
• his vengeance upon you.
Meet him, then, at the threshold, and strike;
boldly strike, as one man against him. ■
Let, all business be suspended; The work to be
done now Is to protect the State against marauding
and murder. Until that is accomplished we must
lead a soldier’s life and do a soldier’s duty.'
Men of Kansas, rally! One Mow, ono earnest,
united blow, will foil the-Invader and save you.
Who is not ready to meet the peril 1 Who will not
defend his home and the State 1
To anns, then! ;To arms and the tented field un
til the rebel foe shall be baffled and driven back.; f
Major General Deitzler will assume command Of
the brave men of Kansas, and issue; the neeessary
orders. Thos. Carnes, Governor. .
My own Impressions are that Price will remain
leisurely collecting his material’until about the time
of the ejection, and .then-adroitly slip between our
two columns and escape rapidly to the Soutkwast-
All that we can expect to do in retaliation is, per
haps, to fall upon some laggard portion of Ms train,,
and make some slight, captures. The- impression
seems to he that Springfield, in the Southwest, will
be garrisoned, and perhaps a strong force may be
marched down there to assail Price on his retreat,-
1 The town of Lamar, In the Southwest, has been
completely burned by the rebels.
Coming to.' political matters and their relation to
military prospects, I should observer that thus far
neither'OfthepoHtloaifpartieshasbseh-direetly'
benefited by tho appearance of. Price la the S tate ;
on the contrary, both have been injured. Gov.,
Thomas L.. Price, who is stumping the state for
Governor, will have been unable to fulfil some of
bis" appointments, on account of his namesake friend
—I say friend, for they were close personal friends for,
twenty years, and previous to the celebrated inter
view with Lyon and Blair, Sterling was as good a
Union man as ThomaslL, Whether or not this
“military interference” .with the freedom of the.,
canvass is helping'the Democratic cause, we do not
know, but observe that just now the principal com
plaints of tho leading Democrats are direoted
-against the Federal soldiers.
It is painful to ohf ervo that, In the speeches of the
Democrats, their denunciations are all reserved for
the “Abolitionists,” as they are termed, while the
presence of aa army of ruffians gpd rebels Ijj tho
State is passed over without notice. Is It to be won
dered at that our brave blue coats persecute and
annoy them, often do they attempt. to open their
disgusting tirade against the Administration! So
far has this gone, that In several places the Demo
cratic speakers have been obliged to succumb. This
has 'brought out a letter of inquiry from the chair
man of the State Committee, in which he asks Gen.
Bosecrans to enforce the discipline, so that they
may have pot only a “ free election,” but a “ free
canvass” also. This is in effect an attempt to got ; -
Bosecrans to side with the Copperheads, and bring
; the miUtary.pbwer.'to bear for, their , party benefit.;
We predict it will fall. Gen; Kosecrans’ answer to
their impudent letter has not yet-been made public,
but if Gbn. Bosecrans is the loyal and unmistakable
soldier we have Mtherto believed, he will read these
malcontents a lecture upon the duty ■of putting
down aimed.rebellion in. the Stats, instead of de-,.
manding protection for speeches in which denuncia

Of Tennessee-The Fight Kear Rich
mond on Thursday.
The annexed interesting extracts arc taken from
the latest Southern papers received:
Jeff Davis’ Ytsit to Hood’s Army. — A corre
spondent of the Augnsta-fGa.) Sentinel, in a letter
from the front describing the recent visit of Presi
dent Davis to the army, says: -
It is useless, and can do no good, to disguise the
fact that Ihe President’s reception was not an enthusi
astic one. On the contrary, itwas cold. There was no •
disrespect manifested , neither was there any enthusiasm
—none of that general expression of personal: admi-:
ration for, Ike ‘•man’’ that characterized thevisit made'
after the battle of Chichamauga. The reception this
time was given to the “ President of the CJonfede
rate'States.” As such no compliment can be made
of it. And if any would have it otherwise, they
must at all times remember that this army, as well
as all the armies of the Confederacy, ismadelup of
thinking meE, and not machines, and govern them
selves accordingly. : -■
The time of the President was fully employed in
interviews with: the; commander-in-chief, the corps
commanders, reviewing the troops, and finally in a
protracted meeting with all the-generals of the
. army. From the outset it was palpable that great dis
satisfaction prevailed, but ignorance at its cause was
expressed. Delicacy, I suppose, sealed the mouths
, ot the corps commanders. But the expression of the
troops could not be mistaken. They did not attempt to.
hide their feelings; marked was the change in'
their ; conduct during the grand review as compared with
that on a similar occasion last fall,that uponretuming
to headquarters (he President insisted upon being in
formed; as to the reason. Yet no one spoke out, and the
•consequence was a convocation of all the generals.
My information ,is direct that, at this meeting,
from which General Hood vary properly absented

tion of the army, its desires and feelings, took place.
There was nothing concealed.. The general wish for
a change of commanders was made.'khoutn, 'and by
some it was 'positively urged that a change was neces
sary to insure the morale of the troops. There was no
enmity-displayed towards General Hood. All his
eminent soldierly qualities were admitted; blit the
•naked truth that another' would better serve to
satisfy the wishes of the men, conciliate existing
differences between officers, and inspire greater con
fidence throughout the whole army, was bluntly
avowed.: The; President was no longer in igno
>rande. *'At the same meeting preferences were ex
pressed for a new commander, and Generals Johnston
•and Beauregard were the great favorites , the former,
': however, receiving by far the strongest expression in
his favor., ■
■ The Situation in Georgia.— A-corrospondcnt
of the’ Montgomery (Ala.) Appeal, writing from
Hood’s headquarters, says that Sherman has three,
millions of rations south of the Tenossee_ .river.
Most of these are at Chattanooga. ‘Previous to the
raid of Wheeler he had one million; but whilethe
road was interrupted (some ten days) twenty heavy
trains were prepared, which were rushed through in
one day. Sherman feeds at least one hundred thou
sand men, including his troops and the hangers-on;
of the army. This is full rations for thirty days,
and may be made to last sixty. With what he can
gather up in,the country he may be able to feed his
arm v ninety days. He adds:
Most of this stuff is at Chattq§poga, the road be
low that, point having been occupied in the trans
portation of railroad material and quartermasters’
stores. It is hoped that Forrest will allow bat little
more to come to the- latter place, and plans are on
loot which will probably lock that at Chattanooga
so fast that It will require the bulk of Sherman’s
army to unbolt it. One-third of this st uff ought to
be destroyed by well-advised expeditions. ‘
Hardee’s Farewell*— Before leaving tho Army
of Tennessee for his newdepartment at Charleston,
Gencinl Hardee took leave of his old command.
Amid cheers for “OI d Reliable, 1 ’ the. veteran- com
mander came forward and-made a very , touching
little speech to the soldiers.
In conclusion, he told them the commanding ge
neral would, in dfeio days, cross Ms army over the,
Chattahoockie on an offensive campaign, Me' plan of
which he knew to be excellent, and he promised them ,
thatif-they would but dotheir duty and give him a
cordial and hearty support, and do such fighting as
he kne w they could do, that the greatest success of
the war wovldbe the result'; that', Sherman would un
doubtedly be drawn from Atlanta," ' ' - :
His speech was received throughout with the wild
est expressions of:enthusiasm,, and upon bidding'
them an affectionate, farewell, the, crowd’ rushed
towards their loved commander, and thousands of
the old heroes from Arkansas, Alabama, Mississip
pi, Tennessee and. Texas, had the,melancholy plea
sure of taking by the hands and saying- farewell to
the war-worn veteran who led them on jso many

The Fight of Thursday.'— After thoir bloody
repulse of Thursday -the enemy had no stomach to
repeat their experiments on our works. . Their de
feat was much more thorough and disastrous than’
many are aware of. They made five distinct and
determined assaults, and, each time being met By a
most murderous fire of musketry at close-range,
were driven back to rout and confusion, leaving the
ground thickly strewn with their dead. *
Notwithstanding these facts wo have no, doubt
Grant has already telegraphed to Washington that
the affair was, qn his part, nothing more than “a re
connoissanee'in force, when, its object having been
fully; accomplished, our forces withdrew.” We
' know it : to have . been no reeonnoissance, but a de

Cel. Tliomas and Ohio McClellanitcs.
Col. Wa B. Thomas, of this city; is stationed at
Gallipolls, Ohio, as; commandant oSAhe post. Oa
the 24th ult. an Opposition meeting’ was held at the
court house, in that place, to ratify the nomination
of McClellan and Pendleton. Some of the soldiers
of Col. Thomas’ regiment, the 192 d P. V., were at
the meeting,"and there bqing some danger of dis
turbance arising, during tiie. course of a speech
which was being delivered by Hon. W. A. HuteMns,
the Colonel, hearing of it, went up to the meeting to
see that order was observed and freedom of speech
protected. After addressing the soldiers to the effect
that Mr. Hutchins had a right to use any language,
except that of treason, the Colonel was invited by
the officers of the meeting to take a seat on the plat
form. In order to accomplish, the objects of his visit
he consented.
The Gallipolls Dispatch, a strong Opposition news
paper, gives the following account of what followed ;
Alter Mr. Hutchins had concluded Col. Thomas
(who had remained upon the stand) claimed the
right to speak, "upon the ground that his presence
at a Democratic meeting might, unless'explained,
compromise his position. Upon this point: 001.
Thomas had, of course, a -right to his opinion,
but; to us It seemed a presumption not called
for under the circumstances. His obvious duty
to preserve order and discipline in his command
is made , obligatory ; upon Mm by the articles
of war and the regulations. He came to the
meeting to quiet a disturbance occasioned by some
of the soldiers, of his regiment. He did quiet the
disturbance, and for so doing he deserves credit and
thanks of: the community. ;.It .was an evidence that
hnowing.bis duty he dare perfonn.it. His claim to
make a political speech, therefore, Is another ques
tion, and one upon which opinions may differ. For
our part we think It would have been more digni
fied and ln far better taste to have abstained from;
doing so. But the Colonel thought otherwise, and
he spoke. His speech most unequivocally headed
off the delusion—if any such had obtained—that he
had'“ compromised his position.” He. let Intd the'
Democracy right and loft—denounced McClellan —
eulogized Lincoln—gave the Copperheads particu
lar fits, and made a smashingtime oflt generally. He
stood up, however, for free speech (for which wo
like him), and drew out that freedom to; the most
exquisite tension. After making the fur fly in all
directions for more than half an hour, he subsided,
apparently in a good humor, having done almost
as much for the Democratic cause as Mr. Hutchins
himself. The meeting- then-adjourned—the Demo
cracy In good spirits-and determined to be heard
from in the coming election.

nodding as though he was responding to the con

A.mercbant doing;business in New York began
an Imaginary conversation with the- Governor, and
excited no little mdrriment at the expense of the
latter. They sat within speaking distance of each
other and within hearing of the writer ;
“Have you just returned from Pennsylvania,
Governor,’” Inquired the merchant.. The Governor
bowed unconsciously.
“Ho you think the Democrats will carry the

The Governor made an amiable Inclination of the
head towardsthe left side.
“Is it not a pity.that Grant, Sherman, and Slie

Here the Governor gave a spasmodic jerk of the
head, which nnsettled Us hat.
“ By-t he-by, Governor, that) was a good joke .of
yonrs (equal to any. of Lincoln’s) at Albany, by
which you secured the nomination.”
A double nod was the response to the tribute of
praise to the Governor’s wit. .
“ Vo you expect to be elected V ’ *
An emphatic n'od was the,answer.-
“Pray tell me, confidentially, did you not design
to be nominated at Chicago for President 1”
A nod, which brought his hat to the bridge of his
nose, was the reply.
, “Would not your.nomination-have given great
satisfaction to the South I”
A nod was given, which made it necessary for the
Governor,to,readjust his hat; but he soon relapsed

Tli© Great Wl»n4 Is It.
RY SANS-Soucr,
In the year of this dread rebeiHoa ! 's birth,
A. great What Is It appeared upon;earth;
A young “ Napoleon” on whom* to dote,
A sort of angel in a general’s coat.
Many who, 7jo!« cannot but hiss It,
iX r ent down then on their knees to fche'gtag® “ What
Is It, ”
Thinking, of course, the nation's choice -
Must for us raise both arm'and voice:
Among its promises this was one: - "
That “ there should never bo another Hull 'Efea'f'
But we did not well the creature mark,
The great “ What Is It” was deep and dark: ■
The great “ What Is It” was slow in its pace,’-
And very fond of a change of base ■
And tho only thing it liked to beat, '
Was that little thing you call a ” retreat .”"
So kind it was to the) 1 misguided South”
Such amiable words it had in its mouth, 1 *
Such a friend to Jeff and Beauregard,
To hurt such nice people was really hard 1
A feather it is in. Lincoln's cap 3
That ho gave tho groat “ What Is It” a slap;
Kicked it out of tho army neck and heels,
With no regard to its dismal squeals.
But still did the people continue to praise it,
TUI up to the very skies did they raise it;
And for fear on common earth it should tread
After being so long up overhead,
They gave it a house in Goti&m town,
Where its adorerß might come andfaU down;.
But much it appears its friends did miss It,
When they bought at that price the great “ Wkaf-
Is It.” *
Now shaking its fist at the Administration, -
(Tko’ not loth to be fed and clothed by the nation.)
At election-time on to I* did it go,
To do what it could for Jeff, Woodward, & Co, ■■.
Oh ! the sweat pretty letter It managed to write,
Telling us what were its notions of right;
So very politely it knew how to do it,
That nobody at all (down South) wouldrue It.
People look at that pedestal now with a frown,
The idol has tumbled most terribly down;
The gilding’s rubbed off—pretty thick it was, too—
Arid the copper shows very plainly through.
It wan never true metal, that coppery thing 1
; Never gave out a true. Northern ring;
' And instead of the chafr it proposed for Itself,
The great “ What Is It” is laid on the shelf,

Dear Sir : Eor more than three years the people
of this country have;watehed, with a constant Inte
rest, the progress of the great conflict in which your
people have been engaged; and, as you know, some
have rejoiced over the temporary successes of the
enemies of your Government, and some have deeDlr
lamented them. T ■
■ ! At this moment we turn our eyes rather to the po
litical than to the military struggle; and there is,
with us, the same difference ofbpinlon and of svm
pathy as regards.your coming Presidential election
that has 1 , been manifested in connection with your
contest In the field.,' ,
All those oi my countrymen who have wished
well to the rebellion, who have hoped for the break
up of your Union, who have preferred-to see *
Southern slave Empire rather than a restored and
free Republic, so far as I can observe, are now in.
favor of the election •of General McClellan. All
those who have deplored the calamities wMoh the
leaders of secession have.bicught upon your country. ’
who believe that slavery weakens your power and
tawishesyour good name throughout the world,
and who regard the restoration of your Union as a
thing to be desired and prayed for by all good men,
so far as I can judge, are heartily longing for the re- ’
election of Mr. Lincoln. Every friend of your
Union, prooahly, in Europe, every speaker and L-v
writer who has sought to do justice to your cause
since the war began, is now hoping, with an intense
anxiety, that Mr. Lincoln may be placed at the head
of your Executive for another term.
It is not because they believe Mr. Lincoln to be.
wiser or better than, all other men on your conti
nent, but.they think they have observed In M 3 ca
reer a grand simplicity of purpose, and a patriotism
which knows no change and which does not falter.
To some of Ms countrymen, there may appear to
havebeen errors in Ms course. It would be strange,.
indeed, if, in the midst of difficulties so stupendous
and so unexpected, any administration or any ruler
should wholly avoid mistakes. To us, looking on
from this distance, and unmoved by the passions ~
from which many of your people can hardly be ex
pected to be free—regarding his Presidential path
with the calm judgment which belongs rather to
history than to the present time, as our outside po
sition enables us, In some degree, to regard it—we
see in It an honest, endeavor faithfully to do the
workof Ms great office; and; lii the doing "of-it;'a
brightness of personal honor on which no adversary
has y.et been able to fix a stain.
I believe that the effect of Mr. Lincoln’s re-elec
tion in England, and,in Europe, and, indeed,
throughout the world, will he this: it will convince .
all men that the ..integrity Of your great country
will be preserved, and it will show that republican
with an instructed and- patrioUc people,
can bear a nation safely and steadily through the
meet desecrate perils.
I hm-one of your friends in England who have
never lost faith In your oauEe. I have spoken to'my
’countrymen on its behalf; and now, in writing this
letter, to you,‘T believe I speak the sentiments and
the heart’s wish of; every man In England, who
hopes for the freedom and greatness of your coun
try. Forgive me for: this intrusion upon you, but r
eannotTiold back from telling you what is passing
in my mind, ar.dT wish; if possible, to send you a,
word of encouragement. .
Believe me, always, with great respect,
Yours, very truly,
