one battery; but everything passed off with
out any disturbance. He was calm and self
possessed, and said he committed the crime
without reconciliation.

for the murder of Lieut.. Sanborn, attempted
to escape the night before his execution, by

PRovosT MARSHAL GENERALS OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, lS63.-The attention
of provost marshals is especially called to the
provisions OF paragraph 81 of the arrange
ments Tor the government OF the bureau of
the provost marshal general of the United

DOES THE BIBLE SANCTION AMERICAN
SLAVERY ?-The professor of history in the
University of Oxford in England, Goodwin
Smith, has recently done great service to
this country and the cause of truth, by the
publication of an essay in which the argument
that slavery is justfable under the teachings
OF the bible is clearly and triumphantly refuted
Prof. Smith treats of the subject on its own
merits, without reference to the existing war,
and the effect of his labors will tend, by
slavery, to lessen their sympathy with the
rebels His high position will give his work
currency among thinking people, and reason,
coupled with fear, will increase the number of
our friends abroad. The pamphlet is neatly
reprinted by Messrs. Sever & Francis of
Cambridge.
LAW AND PRACTICE IN THE PROBATE
COURTS, by William L. Smith. Boston, Lit
tie, Brown & Co.; Worcester, E. Mellen, Jr.
Here is book of three hundred and sixty-6ve
pages, which although filed with general in
formation upon probate business, is especially
adapted to practice in proceedings of the pro-
bate courts of this state. The law and the
equity in all the various questions which arise
in the settlement of estates, the management
of trusts, and the tutelage of wards, are fully
and explicitly set forth. There are tables
giving the present value of estates in dover,
and an appendix shows clearly in what man.
ner the forms required by the probate court
should be filed, and also gives the require
ments of the revenue law in probate cases:
1t is evident that book in which this work is
well done, as it is in the one before us, must
be of great value. Those who have business
in the probate courts will heartily welcome
it. In the distribution of a single estate of
ordinary value, its aid would be cheaply pur-
chased at the price of the work.

there had been regular march of events, from
the time of Moses to Christ, and from Christ
to the present time, all illustrating the grad

great work which had already been accom-
plished for this end, abiding to the present
prospects of emancipation through the opera
ton of the direful struggle in which our ma

missionary association both to aid in securing
the freedom of the slave, and in his educa-

whether it was or not.
