Letter from Gen. Rosecyans.

General Rosecrans, was recently in
vited to attend the Union ratification
meeting in San Francisco, but being I'M
able to accept he sent letter from which
the following is an extract. 1t will be
observed that the General remains true
to the cause for which he fought SO gal
lantly:
1t is clear to me that we must have a
national party for the future, and equal
ly so that its bones, sinews, life blood
and intellect must come from the Union
men of the country. 1t ought to be
, and must be composed of those who,
when told ''the nation is lost bravely
answered, 'Never till we perish, shall
this catastrophe to human liberty be re-
corded"-of those men whose thus tried
courage gave promise of that macnanim-
ity which | have SO often witnessed with
thrill of secret pride and joy that
filled me with the hope and confidence
in our future.
If l could l would say to those brave
men who now frankly accept the decis-
ion of the questions they fought on, cast
your lot with the Union men of this ma
ton, who opposed and fought you
trust them. Let not few extremists,
excited BY vague or unfounded appre-
tensions, by personal interest or ambi-
ton, prevent you from meeting the great
body of the National Union men repre-
seuted by Congress, and closing forever
the agitation about reconstruction
This is our common country. You arc
our brethren. We shall not become ex
cited against you because a few hot
heads or few decaying politicians at
tempt to work on your feelings for their
own advantage. Meet US with trust and
cordially, satisfy the apprehensions
(even if you know they are unfounded
of true though uniformed loyalty, and
you will find US Drawer, truer, and mere
generous friends than those who claim
par excellence, to admire you and deplore
your present situation. These are my
profound convictions. l rely on the men
who fought and labored for the utility
of the nation to be the most intelligent
and persistent maintainers of the auto
nomy OF the States against the extremes
of anarchy or consolidation. / know
the men of the South ought, by the in
stincts of conservatism, courage and in
terest, to be with them. If these views
are correct, it is obvious that there should
g be no wavering in our support of the
present general policy of Congress, how
ever its details may or may not re
quire modification. No Representative
ought to be elected to Congress on plat
forms of open or covert opposition to
measures wherein finalty is more i'm
portant than detail.

The Book of Books.

One of the most valuable books pub
lished for many years, is just out. 1t is
entitled, "Origi,s and History Of TIE Books
cfMe Bible, both Canonieaz and Apocryphal,
ssowiny schat il is not, sohas IL is, and how to
use &C." by CALVIN E. SrowE, d. D. az
Among the many thousands and even
millions of books that have appeared in
the world since the discovery of the
printers art, none possess half the i'm
portance of the Bible. The subject in
yolved one of profound interest to every
rational being, and indeed, covers and
includes every other interest. 1T is the
question of our eternal destiny and is
intimately connected with human happi-
ness in time. The title of tais book is
enough to secure for it a decided inter-
est both from the Christian and the In
tidel. But when it is known that it's
author, for over thirty years Biblical
Professor in several different colleges, is
acknowledged to be one Of the best
Bible scholars of the age, and has de-
voted the greater portion Of his life up
on this work, it will be read and studied
with al interest second only to the sac
red volume itself The scope of the
work einhraces--gi.' 433d 500 9G1os
1st-The common popular objections
to the Bible at the present day, what the
Bible is not, what it is, and how to use it..
2d-The evidences upon which we re-
ceive the sacred Books, q description of
the ancient manuscripts, DC. 8q
3d-Brief biographies Of One Hun

4th-The testimony for the Historical
Books, and full examination separately
Of the four G ospels.D tsdF
5th-The Apocrypbal Gospels and
fragments Of Gospels supposed to be
lost. r
6th-Modern substitutes for the Cos
pei History and an examination of sun
dry skeptical works calculated to impair
the authority OF the Scriptures
7th-The Apocryphal Books of the
Old Testament and the reasons for ex-
GLIDING them from the Canon.
AS before intimated, this is work of
real, permanent value-one that will never
be out of date. 1t is not in the least de-
gree sectarian nor even theological, blu.
lust what it purports to be, a complete
History OF the Bible, sufficiently critical
to meet the wants Of the CLEReYMAN and
STUDENT, and yet so simplifed as to be
the book needed by EVERY FAMILY, by
EVERY SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHER, and
especially by EVERY PROCESSING CHRIS

tells an entirely different story:

On DIT.-It Is rumored that the pro-
prietors of the Humming Bird, are about
having a suit made for them, out of the
stuff they published few weeks ago
The Attorneys, Messrs. Payne and Stu
dy, are said to be preparing some fresh
salt, With which to capture the Bird.
The case is said to look very dark.-Pal-
lddiuna. r
Yes, sir ce, the struck" for the suit is
now in process of manufacture. but
there is so much shoady in the stuff, out
of which it is being constructed, that it
will require Study Gus effort to make it
hang together, until the Payne full pro-
cess of weaving it is completed.-Bird
From the above, one would conclude
that the suU limited at is just loom ing up,
and that some doubts exist as to whether
defects in the filling may not be hunted
up by a Ainrod. whilst the threads of the
ehain may not Popp before completion
The fabric being all ,oool, is considered
valuable. Cal orification having been
applied contrary to the 1Naog ian philo-
sophy, the color of the goods is not we'll
set, and is inclined to Crawley-in
In commencing suit against the pro
prietors of the Bird for slander,its editor
C.. r. johnson, has been let out of the
meshes of the law--the plaintiffs hold
ing on to the proprietors, Mcssrs Craw-
ley Mag. Though the subject is dark,
the proprietors apprehend no very ser
ious consequences as to the result.

MILITARY COMMISSIONS.

AS the Supreme Court has now decided
that military courts are illegal, we await
with interest the full report of the opin
ion delivered by Judge Davis. This was
the case which was so ably argued by
Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, of whose
eloquent speech we subioin the concluding
portion. The public will, We are sure,
read it again with much pleasure:
Come, Mr.. Attorney, "gird up thy
loins now like man; will demand of
thee, and thou shalt declare unto me if
thou hadst understanding" How is a
military commission organized What
shall be the number and rank of its men,
bers! What offences come within it. ju-
rsdiction y? What is its code of proce-
duro? How shall witnesses be compelled
to attend it? Is it perjury for witness
to swear falsely What is the funstion
of the judge advocate? Does he tell the
members how they must find, or does he
only persuade them to convict ? Is be
the agent of tho Government to command
them what evidence they shall admit and
what sentence they shall pronounce or
does he always carry his point, right or
wrong, by the mere force of cquence
and ingenuity F.? What is the nature of
their puuisbments May they confiscate
properly and levy fines as well as imprs-
Oh aud kill? ln addition to strangling
their victim, may they also deny him the
last consultations Of religion, aud refuse
his family the melancholy privilege of
giving him decent grave ?
TO none of these questions can the At.
torney General make reply, for there
is no law on the subject. !Ie will uot at
tempt to "darken counsel by words with
out knowledge and, therefore, like Job,
he can only lay his hand upon his mouth
and keep silence.
The power exercised through these
military commissions is not only unregu-
lated by law but it is Incapable OF being
so regulated, What is it that you claim,
MIR. AttorCeyf will give you deGui-
tlon, the correctness OF which you viii not
attempt TO gal4say. You asser, the right
OF the executive government,t withou the
intervention Of the Judiciary, to capture,
lhprlson and Kill any person to whom that
government or its paid dependents may
choose to imputo an offence. This, in its
very essence; is despotic aud lawless. 1t
is never claimed or tolerated except by
those governments which deny the re.
straints Of all law. 1t has been exercised
by the great and small oppressors of man
kind ever since the days of Ninrod. 1t
ogerat in different ways; the tools it
uses are not always the same it hides its
hldeous features under many DISCUSSES it
assumes every variety Of form:
'It can change shapes with Proteus for advanta-
ges,
And set the murderous MacLiavel to school,"
But in all its mutations of outward APP
pearance it is still identical in principle,
object and origin. 1t is always the same
great engine of despotiSm which Hamilton

eminent, of course, will accuse none be-
fore such commission except those whom
whom it predetermines to ruin and destroy.
The accuser can choose the judges, and will
certainly select those who are known to be
the most ignorant, the most unpr;ncipled
and the most ready to do whatever may
please the power which gives them pay,
promotion and plumber. The willing wit
ness can be found as easily as the super
serviceable judge. The treacherous spy
and the base Intermediates loathsome
.wrotches who do their lying by the job
will stock such market with abundant
perjury, for the authorities that employ
them will be bound to protect as we'll as
reward them. A corrupt and tyrannical
Government, with such an engine at its
command, will shock the world with tho
enormity Of its crimes. Piled as it may
be by the arts Of u malignant priesthood,
and urged on by the madness of raving
crowd, it will be worse than the popish
plot, or the French revolution--it will DO
a combination of both, with Fouquier
Tinville on the bench, and Titus Oates in
the witness box. You alone can deliver
US from this horrible death. You alone can
"deliver us from the body of this DEATH"

this nation in your hands.

ANEcDoTE OF GIRARD.-A faithful
clerk who had long served with Mr..
Girard, of Philadelphia, expected hand
some present at the expiration of his term.
He therefore went up to the millionaire,
aud said,
"Sir, my tune is up; what would you
advise me to do ?"
81 would advise you to learn the coop
ers trade,' said Girard.
Ths clerk felt chagrined, and turned
about in despair, but recollecting the &C.
centricity of the old man, he concluded to
do as GirarI had told him. Thereupon
he made bargain with cooper to teach
him the trade in one year, At the expi-
ration of that time he presented himself
to the old man, saying,
"Sir, have done as you desired
learned the cooper's trade.'
"We!l,' said Glrard, "make me three
of the best barrels you CAM
He did so. The millionaire, on receiv-
ing them, gave his olerkly cooper Cor
cooperly clerk, a check for three thous-
and dollars, saying, "Go into business
with that, and if you fail, you have trade
to fall back upon"

THE MONKEY AND THE LOOKING

opinionsof his own beauty, one day found

ridiculous face he beheld, he laughed and
cracked merry jokes, and ended by prais.
ing tho talent of the painter who had rep.
resented such funny animal.
"Why," said some one who had come
up, "dou't you know your own face p
This faithful mirror reflects your image"
The monkey convinced himself of this
fact, and rather than confess his want of
beauty, abused the mirror he had just
praised.
