TaE KNIaHTLY SOLDIER :: A Biography of
Major Henry Ward Camp, Tenth Conn Vols.
By Chaplain HI. Clay Trumbull. 1 vol.
limo. Boston Nichols & Noyes. az
In the endless variety of books which have
grown out of the war, none have more vivid
interest than the simple individual histories of
those brave and noble young men who have
given their lives to their country's cause. In
the volume before ga Record Of College,
Field and Prisons--we have one of these, and its
subject may be taken as a type of that large
class of American young men who left home,
friends, books, ease, brilliant prospects, all that
could make life dear and valuable, and met
hardship, danger and death for their countrys
sake, with such dauntless courage and forti-
tude. No knight of the days of old romance
ever exhibited more unalloyed the virtues of
the chivalric age than did this young New
England Bayard. With brilliant talents, a gay
amiable temper, and those splendid personal
advantages which win admiration, he united an
ardent patriotism, manly honor and a chris
tian devotion which befit the knight without
fear and without reproach." Thousands and
thousands like him have offered up their lives,
a costly sacrifice in this war, and the least a
grateful land can do is to preserve their memo
ries in books like this, that the historian of
future ages may know what manner of men
they We're who fought to save the Great Re-
public

A private letter from Cyrus w. Field states
that the Great Eastern would probably leave
the More on the 18th and Valencia on the 18th
OF July. All representatives of the press Of
England, America and France, were to be ex-
cluded from The Great Eastern during the Law
ing of the cable. The Telegraph Construction
Company believing this course necessary, as
some members of the press might enter into
conversation with the engineers and thus dis
tract their attention from their highly import
ant duties A journal of the trip and its re-
suits will, however, be furnished the Associate
ed Press, Immediately upon the arrival of the
Great Eastern at Hearts Concert, and the
connection being made with the shore at that
terminus of the line.
As the cable across the Gulf of the St. Law
renee, between Cape Breton, N S., and New
foundland, is now seriously damaged for the
first time in seven or eight years. it is probable
that the messages 70 and from the cable will
have to be sent across the Gulf by steamer.
which will delay the.press reports from five to
six hours. sri aa i
Should there be enough of the Atlantic
Cable left to stretch across the Gulf $50 miles,,
which it is confidently expected there will be,
it will, we understand be immediately laid !:
and thus in few days not only restore the
continuity of the New York and Newfound-
land line, but place the two continents in
uninterrupted telegraphic communication.
