eE"" The Var betueen the States its Causes
Character, Conduct and Results,' by Hon. AL
ExAyDrn II. STEPHENS, Is the title OF yalu-
able work Just issued by The National PUB
fishing Cos ST. Louis, Mo.
Histories Of the late civil war have sprung
up like mushrooms, and they can now be
numbered almost by hundreds, but all who
are desirous of arriving at correct under
standing of the causes and a clear history of
the events of the late lamentable war, have
felt the want of reliable history of the same
from Southern standpoint, by some repre-
sentative man of the South. This want Is
about to be supplied by Alexander ii. Ste
phens.
The bare announcement that this distin-
guished Statesman had determined TO write a
book, would of itself, be sufficient to kindle
lively and widespread interest in all sections
of the country; but when it Is known that he
has chosen as his theme the one SO fruitful
rs the late American war, the absorbing
interest of the subject, together with the
evident and singular fitness Of the author for
Its treatment, unite in awakening curiosity
entirely unparalleled in the annals Of Amcri-
cam literature.
Itprcsents a careful political analysis Of the
past, separating real and apparent causes OF
the late unhappy conflict, and gives those In
terror lights and shadows Of the great war,
only known to those high officers who watch-
ed the flood. tide Of revolution from its foun-
tain-springs, and which were so accessible TO
Mr.. Stephens from his position as second Of
iiccr ofthe Confe,leracy.
This most valuable work i sold only by
subscription, and the publishers want au
agent in every county.

New Emperor-Dynnstic Opposition.
LONDON, Oct. IL, 1858.
The report or the coronation OF Gobazle as Empe-
ror of Abyssinia is confirmed.
He is supported by Prince Kassai but opposed BY
the Oldest son Of the late King Theodorus.
Wagshum Gobazie, the New Emperor.
BY the cable telegram we are informed OF re-
newal OF the civic dlssensons and strife OF native
factions in Abyssinia, on the same issue OF rival
claims to dynastic succession and royal authority
by which the country was so runously torn and d.
v1ded for years previous to the seizure OF complete
anthcrity by the late Theodorus.
The newly crowned Emperor is wagshum Gobazie,
the hereditary Shum or Prince Of wag, district OF
Lasta. This Is one of Theodorus most formidable
antagonists and the most successful OF all the insur
gent Chiefs Until very recently he appears to have
exercised jurisdiction the larger portion OF the
province Of Tigre, and several chiefs in Northern
Abyssina acknowledged his supremacy During the
British war OF invasion he maintained large army
would a.tacE the ROYAL camp. Lieutenant Pridcsux'
letter from Magdaa, 1868, states that 1.-The Wagshum
Gobazie and Maniek Of Shoa are knocking about
somewhere In our neighborhood, but don't appear to
do any business.n In previous letter, dated 18th
OF October, 1857 he had reported that the wagshum
che Queen Waizero Masiyat. The British were in a.
rect communication with Gobazie and IL has been
reported that he sent friendly message to Sir Rob-
Prince Kassai Kassa is 1t il said the most pow.
eriul native ally OF the new sovereign. This man
joined the Wagshum Gobaze In his first rebellion
against Theodorus. but subsequently turned against
Gobazie and set up TO be q king on his own account,
Ar not the whole at period Of the territory Of
Aigre. His last feat was the sacking OF Adowa, the
capital. The relations between him and the Wag-
shum were for years anything but friendly, and his
overtures to the British were made with view to
strengthen his position against formidable antago
mist, who, once relieved from his proceedings
against Theodorus, might make short work with
Kassai's royalty. Since the return march OF the
English TIE chiefs must have become reconciled, II
