course increased by victories in the field; but we cannot agree with Mir. Gree]y, in supposing that at any time during the war, a majority of the Northern people would have voted for peace at the cost of dlsmem berment.
 This volume bears evident marks of has, ty examination of facts, and sometimes even contains blunders which could have only crept in from extreme carelessness Of the latter, the following is a remarkable instance:-
 ssBy the subsequent ratification of more than tco- H.irds of the States, this Amendment abolishlng Slavery, has become part of the Federal Constl- tuition"
 That ratification by hsree quarters of the States was necessary, no one knows better than Mr: Greedy.
 With all the mistakes, however, incident to the hurried preparation of this work, 1t is far superior to any history of the War yet published; and We very much doubt whether, taking it ell in all, our generation sees it's equal.
 Concerning the remarkable success of this book, Messrs O. D. Case & Co., of Hartford, the publishers, make the follow ing statements:
 The extraordinary success of this work is such that few facts relative to it's publication may not prove unnteresting.
 The total number of Volume I. sold to January 1st, 1867, amounted to 122, ,327 copies Of Vol. II. there sold to the same date, S936 copies. In addition to these numbers, from the above date, (Jan. l. 1867,) until the roads became impossible from the heavy snows, we continued to manufac- ture and ship to our Agents about 700 volumes per day

On March 28th, we said: "An additional Re publican vote may be of immense conse- quence" After the election we said:- "Neither does the house need the assist ance of four Republican Members of Con- gress." It certainly does not need that help nou, but after Southern representa- tives come in it may do so.

IITCHFIEID.

In the Superior Court, on Wednesday of last week, the jury in the case of Treichman vs. Hart rendered verdict for the plaintiff to recover $500 damages The facts were these: The plaintiff was driving ata moder- ate gait along the highway when the defen- dant driving much faster team in the same direction caught up with him and drove very close behind. The plaintiff, wishing to give the road to the defendant, turned his horse to let him pass. For some unex- plained reason the horse stopped entirely, and the defendant was so close that, in dri- wing by, one of his wheels locked with the plaintiffs, overturned his wagon, and injur- ed him very seriously. It was claimed on the part of the defen dant that the plaintiff did not exercise due care in allowing his horse to stop short while the defendant was so near him, and that thereby he material ly contributed to the injury. The plain tiff claimed, on the other hand, that he had 8 right to stop his horse at any time he might wish to do so, provided he did not Intentionally cause all injury; and that If the defendant chose to press so close on him that he could not in such case avoid 8 collision, it was his fault and not that of the plaintiff. Judge Butler charged in ac- cordance with the claims of the plaintiff. The following criminal cases were de- cided Herbert Muller was sentenced to two years in States Prison for horse-steal- ing Samuel A, Starr, to four months in jail; James Prime, to three months in jail; Frederick E.

Nothing contributes so greatly to politica
saeeess a. the circulation Of papers. The
Now York Tribune appreciates this fact,
and appeals to the Radicals of the country
to &C, as canvassers for the different radical
publications, and try to have a newspaper
in the hands OF every voter. 1t says truly
that desperate efforts tust upon the eve oI
election are not productive of much good,
The suggestions Of the Tribune are good,
and will apply with equal force to the De.
mocracy. We wish the Democracy OF Har.
rison county would act in this matter at
once. BY little effort they could almost
double the circulation of their local organ.
If they expect the psper 10 do any good,
they must give it efficient support. The
subscriptions price of the Sentinel is but
81 per year, and to subscribers residing in
the county it circulates free of postage
We believe VIC publish good county
paper, and as it would monopolize our time
to travel over the county for subscribers,
we would ask each Democrat to make a
little effort to increase its circulation
Friends, the great contest is next year.. 1t
has already commenced II good Hsorg was
ever required by the friends of good gov
ernment, that time is now.
