LITERARY NOTICES.

The NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW, for jan
usry, 1868. Boston Crosby g. Nichols.
All educated Americans know the North
American Review. Ii cannot be benefited
by any praise from us; il is now, as it has
been for half century, we'll established in
the public confidence. II is conservative in
its sentiments, yet nclines to be liberal. 1t
has the best talent Of the country writing for
its pages, and has been, ever since its estab-
lishment. the accepted medium OF communics-
ton with the public Of the Ablest men Of the
various periods. Therefore the publishers
have right to expect response TO their re-
quest for liberal patronage at the hands Of an
spprecia,ive public.
The article in this number that has most
attracted our attention is the one upon Glacial
Theories by @. l.. Vose. The matter could
not we'll be placed in more plain light be-
fore the public. Glaciers are Of the gigantic
phenomena Of nature, and the people gener-
ally have but vague ideas Of their formation
and movements. This article will place them
in more distinct ligh, before us than any
thing hitherto published We see that val
ley, and gorge or outlet to that valley, above
the snow melting line are necessary for a
glacier that the storms of years, perhaps
we may say centuries, gather in that valley,
that by some motive power, not exactly I'M
derstood by philosophers, this mass moves
slowly towards the easiest point Of outlet,
perhaps only few inches daily, that the out
lets are sometimes a half mile or more wide,
some miles in length, and the mass Of moving
ice FIVE hundred or a thousand feet deep, that
this mass moves down inclined plains, around
corners. and. only terminates a, that point
when the heat Of the sun melts the mass to
water. The masses of snow and ice collect
ing on the TANKS Of mountains ften break
and fall into, and become tributary to the
Elsciers in the outlets Of the basins.
But the most interesting fact developed in
regard to these glaciers since 1910, are the
determination OF their continual Aow and
movement. Professor Agsssiz and other,
have taken actual measurements by 6xine
stakes transversely across the body, and sight
ing them with fixed points on either side
BY these experiments they have determined
that these dense masses move on the same
/ principl water in the river they move
with greater rapidity at the surface than a
the bottom, with greater rapidity in the sur
face centre than at the sides and, in turning
promontores or corners, the axis Of move
ment nesrs the promontories.
We commend this article to all interested
in the phenomena. Hon. George S. HilarC
contributes an able article on Hurd's Law o
Freedom and Bondage.

Charleston, was built near Coxsackie, and her
builders and owners claimed that she was the

els have only two steamers between Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson.

the scheme.

We see it stated that Hon. Jno. d. Defrees,
Superintendent Of the government printing
office, states that the repeal Of the paper duty
will probably save hundred thousend dol
lars in his office alone for the next year
This sum is double the amount reported by
Secretary Chase to be received by the Govern
ment on account of paper duty. Congress
cannot be ignorant of this fact; surely, then,
it cannot be regardless Of its teaching.
