The Honorable EDwARD McPmusov, Of
Gettysburg, has recently written Il political his
tory Of the present Rebellion, which for systematic
arrangement, completeness Of cout.nts, aad im-
poItGnce Of the facts couated, has never been cx-
cclled by any political writer OF our land. Mr..
McPHEnsoN's position rs clerk OF the United
States House Of Representatives gives him fee
access TO the original manuscript, Of mos. I'M
poi tancei his experience as member of Congress
cnablcs him 20 make iudi,i0us selection from
the vast materials u his disposal anIthe infelee.
and ability which he Is well known TO ,oossess,
furnish % security that the materials, when Sc
locted, viii be well handled. The high cxpecta-
tons created by the knowledge that such work
was in preparation have been more than realized
in the production itself.
A history Of contemporary events should CON
sist Of a plain narration Of we-authenricated
facts, without comment or criticism. No writer
Of the present day Is sufficiently free from plrti-
san prejudice 10 calmly judge the acts oc The Gov
ernment. His work viii Dc either bilsscl or pre-
JUDGED Ly bis passions. Mr.. MCPHERSON has
adopted the best, in fact, the only right course,
under the Circumstances. lie has carefully
arranged all the pr0clamations acts, and votes on
any question under general heading; and With
out having added single word from bis own
pen, has presented to his readers full and in
teresting account Of the subject under consliera-
tion-a history Of perfect truth as il is composed
entirely Of official documents
The want Of such a work in the political world
has for several years been felt and acknowledged,
and the appearance Of the present volume has
been hailed with joy, not only by the politician,
but by the statesman, as It fills vacant spot on
their shelves devoted 10 most useful works.
No member Of Congress, Legislature, or Coun-
ell should be without ii 20 one who Is, or ever
expects 70 be, in public life should omit to pro-
cure and study it thoroughly. In fact, no one
who takes any interest in the great events which

The disease usually appears with chill fol-
lowed by fever, which increases in violence
until the patient dies with black yomit often in
less than twenty-four hours. Children and
negroes very generally escape. IL is mainly
confined 70 the native white citizens. The Gov
ernmont wbito troops at the outposts havo
escaped, with few exceptions. Captain Holden

In consequence Of surgeons having been sent
from Old Point for said purpose, the offer was
declined. The medical director of the Newbern
district has done great service, working night and
day. Several Of his clerks and assistants have
fallen victims TO the disease. For time the only
occupation Of the people was to bury the dead
and attend TO the sick and dying. The misCor-
tune was, those in health could not leave owing to
military restrictions on all sides, the want of
MEANS &c. Some who were able went to the
seashorc or coast where the epidemic had not ap-
peRrcd. No abatement in the fever at last
accounts. Frost was hopefully looked for.

on our right, roll and multiply among the
valleys Here are no houses, no cultivated
fields, no trace of civilization, but primeval
forest ringing to the music of Indian war
fare. The frightened birds dare not sing,
nor the squirrel leave its nest, and even the
insect tribe run rapidly among the rustling
leaves and seek a darker, securer retreat
from the strange rumblings around them.
Night approaches and with it comes the
relief-well named-and each seeks his regi-
ment with what haste or leisure he wills.
The camp is now well laid out and a broad
tract of land cleared of leaf, log and brush,
and each soldier resting in his tent while the
bands are playing favorite airs. -
The country has been for the last two adj
vances very fine, and taking into considera-
ton the neglect and devastation the army
has occasioned, it is marked improvement
on any region south of Kentucky. The tim
Der is in belts; the creeks are numerous and
the water is tolerably good a few hills-just
enough to make valleys-are interspersed to
make the section picturesque.
War is not at all repulsive, and three days
of rest are enjoyed with zest; rations plenty,
pure spring water handy, and the men hearty
and healthy, ready for the next move on the
Western chess-board. w. III. NJ.
