The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-03-07

War. The author Is fair TO the South. He
contends that the Inflated black man is the
greatest sufferer by the war, He concludes
that there can be no "peace" without q
thoroughly re.established Constitution. We
quote the following paragraph from the clos
ing chapter:
"It would be mn imputaticn hardly en-
durable upon the freemen of the American
States to suppose that they would long tame
ly suffer under the loss of public liberty, ne
cessarily involved In the Capitalization of
power, which would be the effect of eonstitn-
ting the North the master Of the South. There
can be no real freedom TO the United States
until the equality of all its States is re-estab-
lished and the best hope which an Ameri-
can citizen can indulge for the welfare OF re-
publican institutions is, for the coming of the
time when an order of the President, outside
Of the prescribed sphere of his constitutional
authority, will have no more force than an
order of justice of the peace-to the emo
that II may again become, as 1t was originally
instituted, "a government of laws, and not
of men,
Mr.. LuST Is q gentleman OF Well-known
ability His style Is clear and concise. HIS
quotations are well arranged, and the whole
work displays decided artistic skill. As book
of reference, IL is valuable, and we may say
with truth that it should be in every gentle
mans library

LITERATURE IN LETTERS Or, Manners, Art,
Criticism, Bioyophy History, and Morals WrS-
trnted ia the correspondence Of eminent persons.
Edited by JAMES p. HoLcoNBE, LII. ID. Neo
York: ID. APPLETON 4 Co. This book is pretty
we'll explained by its title. 1t is one of the
neatest works of the day, and selected and
arranged with taste and skill. The letters
include the names of the most eminent per-
sons of modern times, and, arranged as they
are. they form a book both instructive and
entertaining.
The editor is q distinguished citizen of this
State. His plan Is somewhat novel, and is as
happy as it is ingenious. 1t presents the most
striking views of manners and morals, tastes
and dispositions, of the educated and refined
people of different periods. One fault Of DIR.
HoLCoNBR's work is, that he appears to think
every one who may read it sufficiently in
formed of personal history to render unne-
cessary some little explanation by notes here
and there, which would throw great deal Of
light upon the letters and their authors For
instance, in Sir WALTER SCoTT's entertaining
letter, giving an account of the battle of
Waterloo, in which he introduced the testi.
mony of CosTER, who professed TO have been
in the battle, a note might have mentioned the
detection of the fraud played off on the dis
tnguished novelist. CosTER was not only not
In the battle, but was not in sound of it's guns.
He knew nothing about it, and was only one
Of those scamps who linger about noted places
to turn a penny by relating the stories they
have fabricated for the entertainment of
strangers.
