I they imagine that the country has forgotten
the infamous role they played during the war;
Do they suppose that the memory of the
| Tweddle Hall Convention has passed into
oblivion? that their efforts to embArass the
Government and break down the loyal cause
have ceased to be remembered? Are they
insane enough to hope that four years of per

of the Federal authorities to crush treason
havenot made them objects of peculiar sus-
picion with the patriotic massesp
Their resolutions sound like parody. II is
as much as one can do to keep straight face
while reading them. Their illusions to the
Rebellion, recall the satires of Juvenal and
the burlesques of Punch. But most unetiousy
humorous ofall are their pufferies of President
johnson. What has lie done that he should
be thus atflictedY What sin has he committed
that he should be cursed with the damaging
praise OF such men as Gideon j. Tucker and
John A. Green? Twelve months ago they
stigmatized him as a "boorish Tailor" Five
months ago they denounced him as a drunk
ard and called upon Congress to impeach him.
Ever since he refused to betray the Old Flag
and join the ranks of Traitors, he has been
the object of their unceasing villification. -
The columns of their papers teemed with
contemptuous illusions 10 him while he was
acting as Military Governor of Tennessee.
But now that he has vast patronage at his dis

that they may be able to use him-they be

The SECRET SERVICE, The Field The Dun
geon and the Escape, by Albert D. Rich
ardson. Hartford American Publishing
Company For sale by JONES Bros &
Co, North East Corner of Sixthand Minor
streets, Philadelphia
Some time ago, we announced that Mr..
Albert D. Richardson, Tribune correspon-
dent, was about to publish a work giving a
history of his connection with the late rebel
lion. The work has been issued, and we are
indebted to Messrs. Jones Bros. & Co, for o
copy, Mr.. Richardson was captuTedin com
pany with several other correspondents,
while running the rebel batteries at Nicks.
| burg, and confined in seven different Rebel
prisons, for twenty months. He finally, by
the aid of negroes and Union mountaineers
of North Carolina and Tennessee, succeeded
in making his escape from the dungeon, and
journeyed nearly four hundred miles by
night guided by young lady, and the ia.
nous Union pilot, Dan. Ellis, into the Union
lines The work gives complete history OF
his travels through the South in the secret
service of the Tribune al the outbreak of the
war, detailing information in relation to the
Secession movement never before presented
to the public. He was with our armies and
fleets both East and West, during the first
two years of the rebellion, and details in a
clear and interesting manner the history OF
that eyentiul period of the struggle for the
preservation of the nations life, showing
the means employed by the pro-slayery
leaders to drag the Southern States into the
slough of disunion He also gives full
accounts of the great battles both of the
armies of the Southwest and Potomac, and
the final triumph of our arms on land and
sea. We believe it excels any book pub
lished, both in point of the information il
contains, and the popular and sparkling vein
in which it is written. Many books have
been and more will be published, but we be
lieve none will be offered that will give a
clearer, fuller, more readable account, en-
tirely from observation, of the nature, pur.
| poses, tendencies and instrumentalities of the
! late rebellion than does this narrative of Mr..
Richardson. The accounts of the suiferings
and hardships of the Union men in Rebel
prisons are written in a truthful and graphic
style, and while the tale of horror will cause
the sympathetic tear to flow from many an
eye, it will move the patriotic and loyal
heart, to mete out to the guilty authors of
such terrible cruelties the punishment their
barbarity so richly merits. It's handsomely
printed and bound in a style of much ele.
gance. No library will be perfect without
i, and every father who would have his son
correctly informed in relation to this dread.
ful epoch in our country's history, should
not fail to procure copy.

Madame G. L. Eustis. who died at
her residence in Roxbury, Mass, on
the 18th ult., at the age of eighty,fonr
years, was the widow of the late Will
liam Eustis, Governor Of Massachu-
sets. She was rem arkable woman,
both in earlier and later life, for the
beauty of her manners and was emf
hently distinguished fer the great natu-
raj vigor and the added accomplish
ments of her mind. Her range of OBJ
servation in earlier life was most ex-
tensive, and the well-uscd opportunities
she then enjoyed for studying mankind
in the higher and more public walks
or life gave to her reflections great
value and interest. For II period Of
forty years, the time of her wido who'd,
she lived in retirement, occupying a
stately old mansion which, during the
lifetime of Governor Eusts, was often
the scene of imposing festivity, and al
ways the home Of elegant and generous
hospitality. Her remains are buried
by the side Of those Of her husband, in
the cemetery in Lexington, Mass.
