Frank Moore's "Women of the War"

'Women of the War" their Heroism and Self
Sacrifice. By Frank Moore, author of the Rebel
lion Record" "Diary of the American Revolutions"
etc illustrated with eel Engravings. Hartford:
S. s. Scranton 81 Co.. 1866.
This best of the books of the war vet pub
lished, IS now offered to the public by the can
vassers We feel sure it will be found to be a
work of real merit 1t seeks no ephemeral
popularity from highly colored and Munchau-
senish stories ofimpossible adventures by doubt
ful females figuring as dashihg cOurlers IN our
armies or "spies'' in the Confederate camps.
But its records are the truthful histories of more
noble lives. No character is here introduced
that was not KNOWN TO be pure. Here we have
the experiences of women who forsook the COM
forts of elegant homes, for the wild scenes the
mserles and the dangers of the army life, actu-
ated solely by the desire to minister to the suf-
fering soldiers And what scenes they encoun-
tered Sometimes in the thick OF battle, amidst
plungIng shot and bursting shells, succOrlng the
allen soldier, regardless of their own peril
oftener seen at the hospital cot, bathing the
brow OF the safferer, attending to his wounds,
and cheering him in his loneliness and agony
with some saving delcacy that only the
thoughtful heart and ready hand of woman
ever brings. How many owe their lives to-day
to the minstrations of these self sacrificing wo-
men Margaret Breckenridge Mrs. Fanny
1ChttS, CIIS SldI I)IduS 1AIo' DSlle ICe IoIuS,
Mrs. Mary Morris Husband, and many more in
this noble list--they are names that deserve to
live. Only by reading the facts of their lives
in the army--facts Oftentimes more thrilling
than any romance--can we be let to realize the
beauty and nobility of woman's soul, or the true
heroism, and the unsel6sh. faithful devotion of
which women are capable. This is the true
field for material for an interesting book; and
the author has done his part well. Thousands
of our soldiers who will see this book, will take
it eagerly to their hearts and homes, for the
grateful and undying memories with which its
characters are associated in their own breasts
The work is splenddly published. Nothing
comparable with it in elegance and beauty has
before been brought out, of all the books de-
voted to our war literature. The portraits of
these women, on steel, are i'll the very highest
and costliest style of the art. We hear it is
meeting with great sale. 1t deserves it.
Mr.. George Howe, agent for this Book, is
now in this place aud will canvass the village
and most of the County, of whom the Book
can be procured

RECONSTRUCTION.

The following are the Union points in The
Reconstruction Bill as it has passed both House:
of Congress, and sent to the President. 1t is
fficult to say whether it will meet with his
approval:
l. The Rebel States will retain their present
governments. but merely as provisional govern
ments, under which no person who, as the
third section of the Constitutional Amend
ment euacts, "having taken an oath as mem
Der of Congress, or as an officer of the United
States, or As member of any State Legislature
or as executive or judicial officer of any State
TO osupport the Constitution fthe United States u
shall have aided the Rebellion, is eligible TO Of
fee. And also under such governments no
discrimination in regard TO color shall be made
in the elective franchise.
IL. While these provisional governments ex-
ist, the Rebel States are to be divided into mill
itary districts, governed by officers of the army
with power to organize military courts supe-
rior to State authority.
Ill The people of the Rebel Statess when
ever they are tired Of this government, may, by
a vote of all their citizens, without respect to
color, except those disqualified from holding
Office by the Constitutional Amendment, elect
delegates to a Convention to form State Censti-
tutons. When these Constitutions are estab-
lished upou the basis of impartial suffrage, and
are ratified by the people, and when the States
thus organized have adopted the Constitutional
Amendment, they shall be admitted to repre-
sentaton in Congress, when military rule will
cease, and South Carolina and Texas will hold
the same places in the Union as New York and
Massachusetts. Nor is there want of cause e
hope that this result may soon be reached, for
those provisions Of the bill which at once estab-
lish Impartial Suffrage make the Freedme II

TALE OF RArTLEsSAkE-Durin the sum-
mer months rsttlesnakes generally 20 about
in pairs, so that if one is killed, the hunter
had best look out for another. This habit is
not confined to the rattlesnake. Most ven>
omous species observe the same rule. A ne>
gro slave IN St. Domingo once took advant-
age of it TO perpetrate a most foul crime.
The negro had joined a conspiracy to revolt,
but being suspected of lukewarmness in the
cause, was commanded to destroy his mas
ter e only daughter, as proof of his zeal,
or suffer death himself The rascal accomp-
lished the deed without attracting the least
suspicion towards himself. He discovered
the haunt OF pair of deadly snakes, and by
means of those arts peculiar TO the half.say-
age raee, enuced them to the neiehborhuod
of the house. He then informed his master
that be had reason TO believe that there was
a venomoas reptile in the neighborhood. A
reward WAS offered for its destruction, which
was gained by the negro himself, who killed
the female snake the following morning His
courage and devotion we're highly compli
mented by the planter, and an additional re-
ward given By the daughter of the planter
The moment the negro was unobserved he
set to work to complete his plans. He
dragged the body OF the dead snake along
the ground, through the house into the young
lady's bed room, and allowed il TO remain
for some few minutes between the sheets on
the bed. This done, he concealed the snake
about bis body, and carried it TO a distance.
Night came, and the surviving snake began
TO seek its mate. The scent was sill on the
ground, aud the reptile followed it up to the
door, and then glided across the hali 10 the
chamber Of the planter daughter. The trail
was quite warm; the snake worked its way
beneath the eoverlet to the place where the
other had been; and when the unfortunate
girl moved her hand in her sleep 70 brush it

tile were instantly buried IN her throat The
