SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.


FoRNEY of the Washington Chronicle, con-
tinues to intimate that Secretary SEWARD
has advised the President to adopt a revolu-
tionary policy towards the present Congress.
- The New York World, discussing the
complications and difficulties presented by
the policy Of the present revolutionary party
in Congress, says:
"a separation between the President and
Republicans is inevitable, and when it takes
place, the Democrats will give him the same
steady and disinterested support they have
done from the beginning. The greatness of
the issue removes all thought of party adj
vantage on their side, and it ought to do so
likewise on his. 4 contingency seems all
but inevitable, in which the rescue of the
Constitution will be laid as a duty on Mr..
JOHNSON. The Republican party do not in
tend that the South shall participate in the
Presidential election. That Southern dele
gates will be admitted to the Democratic
National Convention, is certain; it is also
certain that Presidential electors will be
chosen in all the States. If the candidate
whom their votes elect, should be refused
the Office, his right WU be asserted 6y arms
and in such Il contingency, it would be a
great saving Of bIoodshed if the actual in
Cumbent should be also the President elect.
Mr.. JOHNToN's fidelity to the South will
naturally secure him the Southern votes in
the Democratic Convention, and probably
Hecure him the nomination. But it is de-
voutly to be hoped that things willnot come
10 such pass. To prevent it, the tide must
be turned in this years Congressional cleo
lions. We trust President JOHNSON will
change his Cabinet when he thinks the
change will most conduce to the success of
his policy, and contribute most to ward off
bloody conflict in connection with the Presi-
dental election. The Democratic party fully
appreciate his difficulties, and will always
Judge him with candor."

BOOK NOTICES.

Through Messrs. W. T. BERRY & Co., we
have received from D. APPLETON & Co.. of
New York, Publishers,
THE PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGY. Vol. ]. by
HERBERT SPENCER.
This is the first instailment of SPEScER's
great work announced as forthcoming four
or FIVE years since, to be published in quar-
terly parts, treating of Biology, Psychology,
Sociology and Education, the whole to
compose q system of Philosophy. HER
BERT SPENCER has attained a Justly high
rank among The metaphysical thinkers of
the age. His contributions to the London
Economist, one of the ablest periodicals Of its
class in the world, and his work on Social
Studies" gave him at quite an early age,
extended reputation, and though not yet
fifty years Old, his labors in that field
have been great, and his powers in constant
development. To those whose thoughts
and studies have been directed to such sub
jects, this volume and the series which il
inaugurates contributes valuable matter,
and should fill place on the bookshelf OF
every searcher into the abstruse mysteries OF
life and the phenomena of mind and matter.
THE REUNION OF CHRISTENDOM. A Pas
toral Letter TO the Clergy, ETC., ETC., by Henry
EDWARD, Archbishop of Westminster.
This is the last pastoral protest of the
chief Roman Catholic prelate in Great Brit
ain against the proposals of the Associa-
ton for the Promotion of the Unity Of
Christendem," and the arguments in favorof
the movement adduced by the Union Rer5ec,
a periodical published in that interest. The
first object of the Unitists is TO secure the
return to one communion and belief of the
Roman Catholic, Greek and Anglican or
Episcopal Churches, trusting that when this
is accomplished the bringing within the true
fold of all sectaries and Protestant non
conioTmists will be an easy task.
Archbishop MANNING takes ground against
the proposition and argues it through sixty
pages, in which are reviewed the doctrines
of the true disciples of ST.. PETER, and in
which the claims Of the Church of Rome
to indefectibility and infallibility are set
forth with great learning and ability. The
letter denounces participation in the
movement as heresy, and warns all
true catholics against it. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Archbishop commenced cleri-
cal life a member of the anglican church,
but disputing while in deacon's orders with
his superiors, some fifteen or sixteen yea s
ago, he retired and, after seclusion of some
time, emerged Romanist. The subject is
one interesting to churchmen and theolo-
gians.
HALLS GUIDE TO THE GREAT WEST.
This is a valuable work for those whose
faces and thoughts of emigration are turned
to where the Star of empire takes its way"
1t comprises descriptions of the soil, climate,
productions and peculiarities, and routes of
travel to and through Missouri, Nebraska,
Kansas Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Califor-
MIA, Montana and Idaho. When will these
enterprising publishers get out a Guide to
the Great South and Southwest embodying
fairly and fully like information?

THE RICHEST WOMAN IN AMERICA

From the Hartford Courant. June 2S.l
The Gckleness of fortune is well ilustra-
ted in the experience of a worthy family in
this city, who have suddenly found them
selves raised from that condition in society
where people are said to live in moderate
circumstances" to the highest pinnacle Of
wealth. The facts are these: Mrs. ELL
WALKER, residing at No 100 Maple avenue,
IS n woman of English birth Her husband
lwho is a machinist by trade) and herself
have resided here for n number of years,
and have several children. 1t was reported
some months ago that a large property,
valued at thirty-Gve millions Of dollars, had
fallen 10 Mrs. WALKERS father, as a direct
heir, and he being dead, that the whole
amount belonged to her as his only child.
Steps were at once taken to ascertain the
truth Of this report and Ex-Governor T. II.
SEYMOUR was employed to investigate The
result of his investigation is entirely favor
able to Mrs. WALKER, documents having
been received which show beyond question
that she will come in possession of this i'm
inense property, and she, together with her
husband and children, viii start for Eng
land next week to receive the golden egg.

THE LATEST FnOST TIE CROPS

The Commissioner of Agriculture, has is
sued a report on the condition of crops,
giving some additional information to the
report published two weeks since. From a
careful analysis of State returns, with a due
regard to the usual products and present
losses Of each State, the prospect, on the LIST
of June, was for seven-tenths of crop.
With favorable weather and absence from
casualties before harvesting, the indications
point to three-fOurths of an average total
yield of wheat Indiana seems to have suE
fered most from winter-killing, from appear
ance, thirty-four per cent. Ohio, four-tenths.
But Indiana has four-tenths more spring
wheat than usual, and Ohio two and a half
tenths This should give each of spring and
winter wheat together, a total of fve-tenths
Illinois promises three-fourths of crop,
though the appearance of winter wheat was
seven-tenths of crop. In Wisconsin the
appearance of winter wheat was six and one
third-tenths, with prospect for at least of
three-fourths Of crop. Iowa, in view of
the breadth of spring wheat, should give a
full crop. Kansas viii have fteen-tenths
Of an ordinary crop. Missouri and Min
nesota will have more than an average; the
district West of Mississippi taken together
promises decidedly more than an average.
New York, New jersey and Pennsylvania
each indicate eight-tenths of a crop; in New
England, the injury to winter wheat was less
than one-tenth in New Hampshire; twenty
four per cent. in Maine; one-tenth in Mas
chusetts; three-tenths in Vermont and Con-
uprticut

GALVESTON, July 2-FLAKE's bulletin
extra, Sunday evening, July l, has the fol-
Lowing dispatches received at the headquar-
tiers of Gen, H. f. WRIGHT, at Galveston,
from Gen GEO. W. GETTY, commanding at

The right bank Of the Rio Grande Is now

of Mexico.
The battle between the forces of EsCoBE-

.srE1E CANNON BrRTHRTGHT.- :

The brightest and best of days to Ameri-
cans is this, the Fourth of July. 1t is so,
because it Is the remembrancer to them of
the most important of human events. 1t is
the "white stCne7 which marks the begin
ming Of a government resting upon union
Of the principles Of public and private lib
erty with those of well-regulated society
and general prosperity Its observance Is
duty,-not by one class, or by persons repre-
senting one set of political oPinions-but by
the American people.
The military commander in this State,
Major General SLOVENIAN, in his orders to
his subordinates, regarding its observance,
announces it as "a day rhtch as the com
mon birthrgh Of all americans" 1t
would be utterly worthless if it were
not, and he utters a great truth when he
says it. IF there are any in the land who
are false to its principles and its teachings,
who seek to overthrow the essential rights
of any, the blood of whose ancestry gave it
lustre and glory-they should refuse to bring
to its return the heart-incense of gratitude,
Joy and admiration. Whoever, to-day,
raises his flag, or fires his gun, or eats his
dinner, or drinks his wine, with any other
thought, or object, or desire than to perpe-
tuate the feelings and desires of 1776, and
the principles thereon engrafted and de-
veloped in the Constitution and form Of
government set up by the Fathers, is no
friend of the day, nor of the rights and
liberties of the American people.
The effort of crafty and unprincipled as
pirants for unenviabIe position and fame
had dwarfed the day into one ofignoble and
unworthy meaning long before the late war,
and our people had in a measure forgotten
its significance and its value as a national
festival.
After all our experience it becomes more
appropriate and important now that we re-
cur to the true facts and circumstances
which make this day more glorious than all
others in our calendar, and from the historic
teachings and early practices Of the founders
of our liberty and our Union, endeavor to
learn the common duties and obligations of
all who inherit this Common birthright."

4 roEELaN correspondent saw

Queen VICTORIA is never cheered when
she visits London nowadays. The remark
is that the people have forgotten how to
cheer" She frequently visits town, but her
carriages are permitted to pass in silence.
The people are either alienated or chilled in
gheir feelings toward her. On her birthday,
a week or two since, | was struck with the
aintness and stinginess of the Examinations.
She does many eccentric things, to which
allusion is made in the papers in very
covert and yelled manner. For instance,
he Star for June 4th refers to the Queens
recent visit to the Duke and Duchess of
Sutherland at Chefden: "The visit to
Chefden was, it is stated, a sudden inspira-
ton, and unexpected by the Duke and
Duchess, who had invited n party to stay
there during the races"
