HEADLEYS HISTORY
OF THE
Great Rebellion.

TNIlE late Rebellion stsnds out peculiar and
4 extraordinary in human events and the
magnificent scale upon which the war has been
conducted, constitute it one OF the GRAND
EST AND MOST BRILLIANT CHAPTERS
Or THE WORLDS Ii STORY.
Mr. IleadIey, of all writer's, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the stupendous features Of
the mighty contest. His previous works on
less momentOuS themes have placed him III the
first position, as a graphic and powerful del'nea-
tor Of tgar scenes and characters, and the magni-
tude and grandeur ofthe ntsublect, mpart
to his pen the fire and yigOr Of yet more exal-
ted inspiration, and furnish ample scope for the
highest exhibition Of his peculia genius for MIL
tary descrptim. Under his powerful pen t@'e
stirring scenes of the War pass il review with
the viyidnesS and dlstinctness Of a present and
living reality while his great taieHt FOR conden-
sation enables him to cmbody everything of
importance in q compass Just suited TO the public
1cant. From no other source can so cJear aud
comprehensive an impression Of the grand march
Of eUcatS be obtained, so easily and agrceably,
as from Mr.. HeadIey's work.
The Second Volume, completing this Work,
(o5so complete IN one polame,) will be issued in
March, 1866. Agents wanted to engage in its
sale in every town in the United States. It's
rapid md unparalleled sale holds Out to indus
ri0es and peySerering men the most satisfactory
inducement, and guarantees to them lcrger pro-
fits than they can obtain from any other book
or from almost any other emplOymeut
Agents now in the ii cid are meeting with
astonishing success.

Sale of the Fox and Wisconsin River
ImproV ement.

We clip the following in relation to the
Fox and Wisconsin River improvement
sale from the Green Bay Aduocute. May
its hopeful anticipations be realized,
The heaviest and most important tran
action which has occurred in this region
for many years, has been the sale at auc
ton, at Appleton on the lst, "a, 3D., and
9Th instants, Of the unsod lands, works of
improvement, water powers and order
property Of the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers
improvement Company, by the Trustees
(Messrs. Butler, Spaulding and Davis
appointed on the part Of the State under act
Of Oct. Sd, 1886. The property was pur,
chased by tie construction creditors and
cash subscribers to the purchases, all rep
resented by Hiram Barney Of N. Y, tor
$40, G0-an amount sufficient to pay all
the State Indebtedness, so called, upon
the work, and to complete the improve
1ment according to the plans approved by
the State authorities. The money for
the completion Of the work, vii. be ur-
piled at once. The Stat Indebtedness is
cancelled by the sale.
1t is understood that all the investments
heretofore made in this work by Eastern
capitalists Aavo been total loss.

A WAGER.

We viii make a wager with any Of the Rad
zeal patriots who voted a month ago to disCran-
ehise their neghbors, that not ZEN out Of the
two hundred and six ever flashed a grain Of
powder in defence Of the Old Flag during
the Rebellion. Yet these same worthless claim
to be the sole heirs to the emoluments arising
from their Interruption. As the Springfield Re
p,iblicGH justly remarks
The men who put down the rebellion do
not join In the demand for the future punish
ment of the rebels but if there Is General who
has never won a battle. soldier who iuvaria-
bly, skulked when fighting was 10 be done, a
camp follower who was ever on hand % plum

THE MONROE DOCTRINE

NJ, Stevens, the great Radical leader, IS
becoming as plucky as he was thirty years ago
when getting up the Buckshot war. BE is for
driving Macmillan out of Mexico. and in the
proprieiy Of this weagree with him. Ii is the
only wise measure he has yet proposed. The
following is bis resolution on the subject
Resolred That the Committee on FG:een
Affairs beins.ructed toiuquiTe INTO tne proprie-
~ Of loaning TO the Republic Of Mexico, on
proper security, twenty millions Of dollars, TO
enable said Republic 10 prevent the overthrow
OF its government and the establishment OF q
rnonarchial government on the continent OF
North America.
And he said in its support that the time has
arrived when we shoull determined whether
the Monroe doctrine was practical idea or
mere bravado. If il is not intended 70 vindi-
Sase the Monroe doctrine with energy, let 1t be
abandoned with dignity. In my Judgment 1t
WAS wise to declare that no foreign nation
should establish a throne on this continent
against the consent Of the people. Without
foreign aid it is clear that republicanism will
b crushed out in Mexico Money is required
70 sustain Juarez's army, and twenty million
dollars could be advanced by the UnitedS States
with a mortgage on Lower California, Sonora,
and other States. which would make 1t safe.

RADICAL EFFRoNPERY.

The latest attempt to repudiate the plain pro-
visions Of the Constitution is the resolution Of
the two Houses requesting the President t.
transmit 70 the Governors Of the several States
q copy Of the constitutional amendment lately
passed. Bythis movement they expect toevade
the constitutional provision which requires that
&" every bill, resolution, order or vote, Of what
ever description, requiring the concurrence Of
both Houses of Congress. except upon the ques-
ton of adpurnment,l shall have the sanction
Of the President, unless it shall be qfterrardS
passed by two-thirds vote of both Houses.
Instead Of sending the resolution to the Gov
ernors of the several States. the probability Is
that he will return it to the Senate with his
veto. They cannot force the measure on the
country without meeting with at least one bar
rier and it will eviuce a singular disregard Of
sll the restrictions upon rabid maiorities if the
Legislatures of the Northern States sanction
such perversion Of the principles Of our 60

A RADICAL SPECULATION.

The Washington Chronicle, under the guise
az O criticism upon the book of DR.. CISven,
Surgeon at Fortress Monroe, published ten col
umns Of the Doctors book, giving the " Prison
Life Of jefferson Davis, during the first six or
eight months of his imprisonment. 1t is IN
6erstood that the Chronicle sold an extraordi-
nary number of that days issue, and set the
whole Of the Radicals to reading what they
might otherwise never have sought in the
pamphlet form. And while the Chronicle, by
It's advertisement Of the book, put some thou
sands Of dollars into the pocket of Dr. Craven
and his publisher, it made small pile d" for
itself
One thing is certain; the book contains
many reflections and suggestions likely to at
tract the attention Of readers of every shade OF
opinion; and DEVELOPS some matters not alto
gether creditable TO the authorities who had
charge of the prisoner in the casemate at Fort
ress Monroe It will no doubt be difficult to
ascertain who was Immediately responsible for
putting mauaeles upon feeble prisoner who
could not have escaped if the prison door had
been opened to him. but somebody will some
day have unpleasant reflections in the recol-
lection Of matters not altogether comforting
with the ideas of civilization in the 10th CEN

Circuit Court.

The Circuit Court for this County adjourned on
Thursday last after session of nearly two weeks,
Judge HALL presiding. Considerable business was
transacted including many cases unjust in their in
ception. These Radicals who taking advantage
Of their present power may yet be taught that they
cannot always be in the ascendant, and that day
of retaliation may present itself.
The Bar of the jefferson Court is composed al
most entirely of strangers, and the juries Of many
men whose prejudices unfit them for such duties
We are at a loss to know how these jurics are Sc
lected-whether by the Clerk Of the Court or
from the of the people-as there seems to be a
stereotyped list.
Our friend, J. P. A ESrLsR, Of Enters Hotel, at
Shepherd stown, has not suffered the reputation Of
his house to wane We have heard many express
sions Of praise bestowed upon him for the sumptu-
Gus and seasonable fare spread upon his table, and
his kindly department towards his guests.

The Hon. J. MoRRIsoE HARRrs lectured before
large and apnresiative audience the Presbyterian

subject selected was Duties, Opportunities and
Agencies" And although much was anticipatnd
from the deservedly high reputation enjoved b. Mr.
Harris as one of the distinguished popular speakers
of the country, we venture the opinion that there
was not one among his eager and delighted listen
era on the occasion, whose most extrsvagant e1pec-
tations were not more than realized.
With voice strong. musical and clear. and
poished eocution, which always "suited the action

attention Of his audience and kept it without flag
