Want of Confidence.

A careful, money.saving little Frenchman
loaned merchant five thousand dollars when
the times were good. He called at the count

"MARGARET HowTn,"a remarkable story,
published lately in successive numbers of the
Atlantic Monthly, has been issued in a hand.
some volume by Ticknor & Fields In the
Atlantic 1t was called "a STORY OF To Day"
1t attracted much attention in the magazine,
and will undoubtedly get wide circulation in
this form. The Boston Saturday Evening Ga.
zette asks "Who wrote Margaret How'll 2"
and says
The authorship of this genuine original
novel is sun guessed at in the papers. Ne.
ther Mrs. Howe nor Mr.. WATSON, both of
whose names are mentQned in connection with
the story, had pen in the matter. That the
romance was written by woman cannot he
doubted, and her name must shortly be d
vulged. Jane Eyre aud Adam Bedc' forced
by their great success revelation of their true
authorship, and Margaret Howth, passing TO
a third edition in a few weeks, must soon be
claimed by somebody. Meantime the secret
is well kept both by the publishers and the
writer.
The book was written by woman. This
is sufficiently evident to any careful reader.
Report whispers TO US that the writer's name
is REBECCA HARDINGE, and that her place OF
residence is somewhere in Pennsy Ivauia The
book is for sale at Holbrook's.

free states, particularly the western states
where they have secretly enlisted COCA
many recruits. On the first page of the Spy
to-day, we copy from Detroit paper an I'M
portant article relative to their operations in
Michigan The larger portion of it consists OF
a letter written by one of their agents. This
letter fell into the hands of the government,
and the writer, known as "Dr. Hopkins" was
Immediately arrested. He is now in fort La
fayette. 1t will be seen that he processes to
have been successful beyond his expectations,
and it is reasonable TO suppose he found favor
among those who secretly sympalhize with
the rebels.
Long before the rebellion actually began,
the conspirators were busiy at work organic
ing this order Of the knights Of the golden cir
Gle. They drew into it many of the old army
officers and large proportion of those northern
politicians who were accustomed TO fraiernize
with the slavery extremists. 1t was by mean
of this organization and the partizan symla
thy of their old political associates that they
expected TO bring half the free states to the
support of their treason. They actually be-
lleved that as many would rise up in the
nj nth to fight for them as against them. No
federal troops would be allowed TO pass
through the city of New York, it was said,
and we remember well how fiercely some of
their creatures in Connecticut swore that mo
black republican troops from Massachusetts
should pass through Connecticut to fight our
sou hern brethren" But very soon these de.
spicable lacqueys of treason were awed to 81.
lence by the majestic uprising of the north.
But nothing changes the aim or lessons the
malevolence of those secret traitors in the Tree
states who act in concert with the knights of
the golden circle. They behave with more
caution. They make less noise and proceed
more stealthiy, but they pursue the same pur-
pose, and intend that the jeff. Davis couspira
tors shall have their will either in the Union
or out of it. AT first they declared it an mex
cusa6e crime Tor the government to resist the
traitors by force of arms. Now they are dill
gently at work to create a | olitical party that
shall think and feel about slavery in manner
satisfactory to the conspirators and be in
readiness to fraternize with them and up.
hold their influence in the nation when the
Union is restored. Their first intention was
that JEFF Davis should capture Washington,
depose the government, and make himself
supreme dictator. Now their persistent scoun-
drelism processes TO support the constitution
and the Union and intends 10 do for the south
ern traitors by means OF political organization
what they have found it Impossible to do by
other means. But there is God in the uni
verse whose laws make it impossible for them
to succeed.
