and for a year after its close I laboured on the Pilot

newspaper. I adopted Liberal principles, Fna h,vr,
nevur faltered, working for them, too often wit:hout

Or reward. I have stated before how it fell to

soldulr
pet
ohlseisfeepssed,
my lot to proceed to Plymouth, where a, •nevspapE-r
came wholly into my hm:ds. Thol7 paper was
neutral as far as regarded Whig or Tory principle.
No Liberals or Radicals were then known; Whig
or Tory divided the politicians. A strong desire
in fact made me a
political mar-
ty;aper at a great loss, I may say of
to do right induced me to support Catholic emanci-
and more indignant than re-
pentant, en which question the Cabinet, was divided.
I have stated how I was served by Mr. Pcrceval tor
that heinous offence. It struck a severe blow on
after five or six years of life wasted, I re-
turned to London with a little money in my pocket.
While at Plymouth I wrote for the Naval Chronicle
in London, and published two letters toLordliolland,
on the libel law. The year 1814 found me in London
working at a Dramatic Review, publishing articles
in the Morning Chronicle and Examiner, and learn-
anlelra.mr lyylafullt
learn-
ing German. All this was given up fora projected

work on Ireland, in consequence of Wakefield's

volumes not being satisfactory. It was to have been
on a large scale. I had letters from persons of con-
sequence, to individuals in the island. After wait-
ing several months, the whole was abandoned, be-
cause no one could be got on moderate terms to
manage the plates and engravings, which were a.
necessary. After the battle of Waterloo I went to
France and resided four months at Rouen ; then at
Gisors, collecting notes on Normandy, or travelling
in the country south, and making observations on
the vine and its product. I also correspondrAt with
the Examiner. I next proceeded to 1! aria, and
there edited Galignani's Messenger.. I returned
after three years' absence, and, goincr, into Warwick-
shire, edited a paper for a short time at Warwick,
as a holding of place for
'another. I also, while
there, wrote two letters. Ira the Game Laws, to Dr.
Parr. In 1820 I conar_oenced writing in the New
Monthly Magazine

P.lwhere the part I had in that work, in
which every third volume, part original and
Campbell
Pari compilation, was mine. Besides this I found
time to correct the proofs of all the work, and write
one hundred and seventy-seven articles besides.
Campbell's articles were not more than one-third of
mine even in the original part; all bear his name.
The whole weight of it soon fell on myself, The form
of that wonderfully successful work was different
then from what it has been since. Here I have to
lament I wasted ten years, the best years of my life,
doing nearly the whole work, and writing all the
political matter. But Campbell and myself were
intimate friends. The Metropolitan followed the
abandonment of the New Monthly. In 1833 I went
into Sussex and put together my work on wine,
which has made me extensively known in England
and America. The history of that work is curious;
to myself it was of less advantage than any other
I had undertaken considering its labour. The MS.
in material lay untouched for thirteen years ! None
of the " trade" would look at it or hear of it. I had
proposed it to Colburn in vain. "It would not
answer." " So few drank wine," and so on ; which
meant that there was no work in the market like it,
that had made a noise, by which it could be judged.
My notes on wine, like those on Normandy, had
not, like them, become useless from being super-
seded by others. When I left the Metropolitan,
therefore, I put the work in order. The late Mr.
Whittaker, who was a particular friend, at last said
he would publish it on the principle of half profits.
It was most beautifully printed by Hilbert and
Rivington in one volume. The woodcuts were then
five times the price they are at present, and the ex-
pense of the work was thus greatly enhanced. It
went through a second edition, but I never received
more profit from it than paid my sojourn on the
coast for two or three months while I put it together.
I abandoned it in disgust, as labour and toil en-
tirely wasted ..... It is continually ex-
pected that literary men should serve public
purposes gratuitously, while the public cares
not a rush how they fare, or live, or die in
harness, never,giving its services without an equi-
valent. I was glad to serve the public, I confess,
but more because it was a pleasure in my case than
a duty, though ruinous as a waste of time, for I
could look nowhere for remuneration. But it has
been the same in politics. I have served liberal and
reform and free-trade principles devotedly for above
half a century without more pecuniary profit than
very common labour returned, and can ask myself
the question cui Bono? except that the public bene-
fited. Still it is a very serious question, at above
three-score years and ten, to a literary man, too
whose time is his estate. In active politics, it is
true, I worked con amore for my party ; I paid my

conclude, besides between forty and fifty volumes
of
my own, I have edited above a hundred, begin-

Some of the Perthshire moors appears to be well stocked
with game. On Thursday his Royal Highness the Maha-
rajah Dbuleep Singh bagged to his own gun. on the Loch
Kennard range, Grandtully, 50 brace of grouse, and a few
hares and snipe. Sir H. H. Campbell, Bart., shot on the
hill of Monzie, in the afternoon, 7 brace of grouse. The
numerous sportsmen who are residing at Drummond Castle
have secured some excellent bags. The sport of Glenartney,
Longside, Lochernaide, &c., has been good. Grouse are
plentiful, and not the least symptom of disease has been wen
among them.
Good sport is obtained in the forests. Down to the 28th

all carrying capital heads, and one weighing 17i stone.

August, Mr. Thistlethwayte brought down 14 stags in
Lochluichart forest, shooting on that day a fine animal with

beautiful large antlers of the following dimensions, viz.:—
Span, 23i inches ; length, 33 inches ; thickness, 5 inches ;
length of front tines 10 inches. The head was a royal, with
palmated tops, of 6i inches in breadth. Lord Lovat and
party succeeded in killing 23 stags during last week, ten of
the number being shot on Thursday, and all in Glonstrath-
farar forest. On the 21st the Rev. W. Basset shot a fine

stag at Kinclochewe ; and on the 26th J. F. Basset, Esq.,
shot a beautiful animal with a royal head in the same forest.
Lord Stamford shot in his forest of Rothiemurchus, on
Wednesday and Thursday, 4 excellent stags, and about 70
brace wild ducks, and on Friday 5 stags. The lion, G. S.
Duff has had capital sport in Mar Forest, and up to Thurs-
day last bad killed 14 stags, all of them splendid animals,
the lightest weighing 15 stone, and the heaviest 18 stone.
On the 24th Mr. Bentinck, M.P., killed two fine stags in
Glenavon, weighing respectively 14 stone and 14 stone
101bs ; and on Wednesday he killed one weighing 15 stone.
In spite of bad weather, Mr. Snowie has during the week
received a number of stags heads for preservation. J. G.
Leigh, Esq., has forwarded six, three of them being royals;
Lord Galway, one of ten times ; Christopher Turner, Esq.,
Glenfeshie, a good specimen of a royal ; and F. Bassett,
Esq., Kinlochewe, also an excellent royal. Horatio Ross,
Esq., has also sent a very fine specimen of a royal head.
The antlers measure in length, 32f inches; in span, within
bow of the antlers, 314 inches ; and between the outside
tops, 37 inches. The stag was shot in Glendibidale on the
28th of August ; it weighed 18 stone 31b,, and makes the
twenty•eighth stag shot by Mr Ross and his sons since the
commencement of the season. On the same day a young
gentleman staying at Glendibidale went out with a common
carbine, and shot a stag of nearly 18 stone weight, with
antlers of 33 inches span. Two very fine heads, from J. G.
Leigh, Esq., Strathconon, have been received this morn-
ing. Span of one, 27 inches ; brow antlers, 10 inches in
length; length of horns, 34 inches ; thickness, 5} inches ;
weight of deer, 17 stone. The other head is almost a
caberslach.

THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.--The road. at
Gettysburg was lined with Yankee dead, and as
they had been killed on the Ist the poor fellows had already
begun to be very offensive. We then returned to the hill I
was on yesterday, but finding that to see the actual fighting
it was absolutely necessary to go into the thick of the thing,
I determined to make my way to General Longstreet. It
was then about 2 30. After passing General Lee and his
staff I rode on through the woods in the direction in which
I had left Longstreet. I soon began to meet many wounded
men returning from the front; many of them asked in,
piteous tones the way to a doctor or an ambulance. The
further I got the greater became the number of the wounded.
At last I oame to a perfect stream of them flocking through
the woods in numbers as great as would crowd Oxford-street
in the middle of the day. Same were walking alone on
crutches composed of two rifles, others were supported by
men less badly wounded than themselves, and others were
carried on, stretchers by the ambulance corps ; but in no
case did I see *clued man helping the wounded to the rear,
I unless he carried the red badge of the ambulance corps.
