The present critical state Of European affairs will
render these publcatlors Unusually interesting
during the forthcoming year. They will occupy a
middle ground bet seen he hastily written news
items ade .reealastef-, and HriHs runners Of the
daily journal, and the ponderDus Tome of the fu-
lure historian written liter the living interest and
excitement IF the great political events OF the
time shall have passed way. 1t is to these Peri
odcals that readers mus look for the only really
ineligible and relisb history of current events,
and as such, in addition to their well established
literary, scientific, and theological character, we
urge them upon the COT sideration of the reading
public.
The receipt Of Advance sheets from the
British Publishers giyes additional value To these
Reprints, inas much hey be placed In
The hands Of subscribers about the origin

Hon. Joseph Holt.

The Detroit Free Press says this gentle
man, who now occupies SO large share oil
the puplic attention, in consequence OF his
energetic, bold, statesman-like and patriot
ic action, while member oil MIR. Buchan-
ans Cabinet, and the thrilling eloquence
of his speeches, on behalf OF the UEion, is
personally known, comparatively to but
few persons, beyond The bounds OF his own
State. For The inform alton OF his many ad-
mirers, we copy The folo~ing article in re
card 10 his personal character from the
Louisville Journal Mr. Prentice, we believe
has neve: before the present difficulties ac-
led politically with Mr. Holt. Therefore
The tribute which he pays TO Mr. Holt's
personal inie gritty and worth are all the
more valuable:
"This gentleman left here on Saturday
Tor The Falls oil Niagara greatly 10 the re-
gret ol the many devoted friends he has in
this city. We envy not the being who does
not admire his genius and eloquence, Tor
they, are a portion OF the national wealth /;
nor do we envy the condit ion OF any one
who does not know him We have known
him Intimately for The space of twenty nine
years, and have always known him as one
of the most modest and unassumIng OF men.
His character is as pure as that OF lovely
maiden OF sixteen, and no one, with any
knowledge OF the man, would ever think
of attempting 10 corrupt him or 10 weaken
the secure anchorage OF his integrity, he IS
100, one of the most unselfish of mortals. He
has largely contributed TO the UEioh causein
Kentucky by his malchless services and
his pecuniary means were offered within
our knowledge, 10 receive. While be free
~ gave his services 10 the cause IN Ken
tocky, he refused empting Offers of liberal
pay for his eloquent labors elsewhere
HIS character is as stainless in all things es
his eloquence and genius are pre>emineni
and, by common consent, he is placed
among the immorials OF his country his
tory by his genius and oratory. What q
vast degree of confidence the nation would
feel if il had iG some OF the chief places OF
counsel The talents aud Integrity OF Joseph
Holt. Yet, we be lieve il would be much
more easy to induce the President TO offer
him such position than it would be 10 OBJ
tain Mr. Hollis consent to accept il Wher
ever he may be, in public or private, may
his lie be as bisslul as his virtues are ex-
allied and noble"
Wha. happy exchange for the country
if President Lincoln would invite Secretary
J Cameron 10 step out of the War Department
and Mr. Holt TO step in J The effect oi
such movemect would be like great vic
tory over the most slupendous system oI
fraud aud corruption that ever gnawed al
| the vitals or Government. Public confidence
would at once be established upon firm
basis, and the country feel sure that lis
great interests and contributions were in.
! trusted TO safe hands.
