AUTHORS AT NEwPoRT.-The celebrated
summer retreat, Newport is no less favored
as the chosen haunt of genius and fame than
it is distinguished as the favorite resort of
wealth and fashion. Many of our best known
authors have long been accustomed to pass
the summer months on this breezy and love.
ly island.
Here Bancroft, as full of freshness, fire,
and enthusiasm as when he begun the mighty
task, is just finishing the final volume of his
''HistOry of the United States" The hopes
peris, glories of the hour find full responses in
his fervid breast and will not fail to lend a yet
deeper emphasis, yet more imprisoned faith
to the closing chapters of that learned and ell
oquent work, in the perusal of which one is
at a loss whether more to admire the weight
and variety of the reflections, or the energy
and beauty of the narrative. 1t combines the
merits of the disquiSltion and the lyric, and
must grow in popular favor as long as our
nationality endures. The author, on his
beautiful seaside estate, triply divides the
autumnal day in giving the last touches to his
history, entertaining his guests, and watching
the growth Of his pears.
Here, also, for the pleasantest quarter of
the year, resides Julia Ward Howe, wri-
ter whose hitherto published works, meritor-

TO the high range OF intellectual power, the
rare breadth and mastery of culture and ex-
perlence which her friends know her to pos
sess. Her residence, the seat Of a graceful
hospitality, which many favored guest will
long remember, happily located few miles
out OF the town, commands the whole land

questions OF the greatest theoretic and prac.

CINciNNATI, June 30.--The Commit

terview with Gen. Burnside last night in
relation to the defences of the city. The

There was general suspension Of bus

the State House, addressed by Gov Tod
who said he had information that the reb =

The character of this movement is n OF

attack likely to be made.

In III ese times Abolitonists, who have
been traitors to their country and have been

General CaSS.

This venerable statesman in reply to
an invitation to attend a meeting of the
Democracy of Washington county, Pa,
makes use of the following significant
language:
l have come to look with almost as
much solicitude upon the action of the
Democratic party in its primary meetings
rs for tho result Of the conflict at arms;
for the reason that is now clear the per-
pctnity Of our present form of Govern,
mcnt rests on the patri otism, intelligence,
forbearancc and consistent course of ac.
tion by tho Democratic party. The ia
cobins and radicals who are the leading
spirits Of the political party in power
seem quito as intent on destroying ouI
civil rights as in whipping the rebels in
to subjection. 1t is our duty to insist on
tho preservation intact of the form OF
Government established in 1850, and
that the territorial limits of tho nation
shall never be diminished. To attain this
end we must see that the government is
not allowed to fall to pieces. We must
hold the executive agents of the Govern
ment to their duty, and keep them in .heil
duty, until we can, by means of the bal
lot box. put in their stead those who will
administer thi Government as it was franz
cd by our ancestors.

Removing the Cause.

Quacks are gaeat on removing tho
causes of disease. The noted empiric
who was "hell on fts," derived his con-
fidence from his power OF striking at the
cause. Every new nostrum makes its
way directly to the root of all our ills
1t renovates tine physical constitution, and
gives it new life, vigor and endurance,
and all by virtue of it's power of rcmov-
ing the cause of sickness, decay and death.
The quack in medicine is fair type of
the quack in politics. The latter, like tho
former, finds out, or fances he has found
out, the source of all the troubles in the
body polite, and forthwith raises a terri
bic outcry about removing the cause
He denounces every sane man, who don't
believe in the iniallibilli.y of his prescrip
tion, as a rebel and traitor.
There may be rebellion "A formida-
bic ono existing in ths country, requi-
ring the most cautious as we'll as tho
most energetic treatment for its suppress
sion? yet the political quack, having PEN
etrated, as he imagines, down deep into
its latent cause, would, for the sake of
removing that cause, get up counter
IeueliloH Ut TcNOIutlOn more 1OfmldaDlo
than the one first started. This, he in
sists, with great pertinacity and never
ceasing volubility, is absolutely necessary
in order to utterly and totally annihilate
the cause. Proceeding on the same prin-
ciple, when the medical quack annihi-
lates the patient, when it becomes useless
to inquire after the cause of the disease
The political quack, with his nostrum
for annihilating the cause of rebellion. by
getting up counter rebellion, would an
nihilate the Constitution and the Union,
and extinguish the Republic of WASH
ington and the fathers.
But such consequence is a very tri-
fling matter in the eyes of your genuine
political quack. He is bloodless, cold
hearted animal, who prides himself on
nothing so much as in the power and
venom with which he hates and perse-
cutes those who differ from him, and es-
pecially those who think his scheme of
saving the Union By encountering one re-
bellion, for the Maintenance of slavery,
with another for its destruction, would
result in the utter and total dissolution
of that union. Like all bigots, the po-
litical quack is blatant is his profession
for Justice and humanity, while showing
no real practical regard for either
Statesman.
