Col. Forney held his annual reception
after the adjournment of Congress at his
house on New Jersey avenue last even
ing. About a hundred members Of Con-
gress, Cabinet officers and Generals, were
present, among them Secretary Seward,
the Secretary of the Interior, Mr.. Usher,
Postmaster-General Blair, Gen. Heintzle-
man, Gen, Cochrane, Prof. Bache and
nearly all the Senators. During tho
evening Robert j. Walker, in response to
a war sentiment eloquently uttered by
the host, spoke at length upon the great
measures of the XXXVIIth Congress-
lie pronounced that Congress the most
remarkable and eventful in the history of
the human race, and prophesied that,
however much several of its measures
might be discussed and denounced, yet
that in future they would be fully Vindi-
Gated
At a later period Gov. Walker spoke di-
reetly on the Emancipation question, and
addressed himself TO the Borders State
men present among them Geo. d. Prem
tice, of the Louisville Jourrul After
Gov. Walker had spoken, Gov Hicks fol-
lowed in an exceedingly able speech, in
which he assumed the strongest grounds,
and avowed his determination to stand
by the flag of the Union at all hazards,
come what might, and if slavery stood in
theway of the preservation Of the Union
slavery must go. Senator Foster next
praised the courage and consistency oi
such men as Gov. Hicks, and speaking
for Connecticut, said that the State and
himself would stand by the Administra-
tion and the war to the bitter end.
Secretary Usher being called OUT, spoke
briefly but with singular originality anC
ease, throwing new lights upon the greal
issues of the day, and proving that in ap.
pointing him to the Cabinet the President
had chosen strong aud wise man. Tb,
Hon. Preston King said that in the prov.
idence of God, however much this wal
might cost us in life and in property, thu
| rebels stood before the world as the great
est of abolitionists, and if slavery perish
ed it would be by their own hands,
Senator Kings successor, the Hon. Il. d
Morgan, was present during the early
part of the evening. The entertainment
lasting until O'clock in the morning
will long be remembered by those VIII,
were present as conference meeting o
the wisest and most earnest advocates o
the war to the end.

BLACKwooD's MAGAZINE AND THE Brit
IsH REvIEws-L. SCoTF & Co. REPRINTs.
The service which l.. Scott & Co. have
done the cause of literature, in the re-
publication of BlaeE2sooa's Magazine and
the four British Reviews, can hardly be
appreciated by the public generally.
They contain the best thoughts Of the
best minds of Great Britain, and, in a
condensed form, the most important re-
suits or deductions of science, the con-
clusions of politicians, as well as the
choicest products of genius and phioso-
ply. Ia no other publications offered to
the public, is there 50 much of solid and
substantial reading offered, for 80 small
sum of money. True, the views Of the
present struggle in America, which have
been presented in all these works, but
the IpsSfmiuSt6r RSViel0, have been iaun-
diced aud unfair, Oftentimea displaying
ignorance, and always displaying enmity
TO the Union, and desire for its over
throw and destruction. Yet that was 10
be expected, for all of them, but the one
excepted aud the Adrth British, are organs
Of the aristocracy.
Blacl70ooFs Magazine is re-eminently
the leading monthly of the age. The
genius, wit and poesy which have en-
riched its pages, and made il famous,
have not yet departed, Blackl0ooa is still
unequaled in its solid as well as its
lighter viands. 1t has introduced more
works, which were afterwards repro
duced in book form and became famous,
than any other monthly of the past or
present.
The Edinburgh Revia0 is well known,
and has been famous from its commence
ment. Originally started by Jeffrey,
Brougham and Sidney Smith, IL still
maintains 4 great portion Of lie original
yigOr. ....... ...... ... .-....
The LCndo8 Quarterly was originally
started 10 meet the Ediaburgh, and was
the organ Of such minds as Southey
Scott, Lockhart and Wordsworth. II il
still conservative. 4.......t a..t b.
The Westminster. Rsws0 is radical, and
It's political views come much nearer 10
the American standard. 1t alone, OF
SCOTS republications, has done Justice
TO the present struggle in America and
the causes which underie it,
The Netth British Reviei0 is more reli-
gious in its character than the others
having first been established by Dr.
| Chalmers
