Mr.. GreeIey's History of the Rebellion.

men OF all parties, not only rs the highest
authority, but greatly surprising all other
works, both in conception of plan and ex-
cellence of detail, abounding in clear and
graphic delineatiOnS of events. candid and
accurate statements of facts, and marked
throughout by the most thorough and
painStaking research. 1t has been sub
iected to the most searching criticisms by
the press of all political parties and reli-
gious denominations, and in not less than
one thousand notices and reviews. by the
most able journals, not only in this coun
try, but also III Europe its great superior
ity over all other works of the kind is
most emphatically attested, even by the
authors most determined political OppO-

all the battles, raids, skirmishes, &c
while there were fifty important battles,
an account of which does not appear in

When some OF this gentleman's self
constituted friends undertook to assaiI the
editor OF the Gazette, we did not deem if
necessary TO retort personally, but turned
our attention to the candidates who were
soliciting office at the hands of the neo-
pie. After the publication of our last na-
per, Mr.. Willis called on us TO saw that ba
