The War Between the States,


IT'S CAUSES, CHARACTER, CONDUCT
AND RESULTS,
BY HON. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS,
It's THE TITLE of Work just issued by
THE NATIONAL PUBLISHING COM
PANY, Philadelphia.
Histories of the late Civil War have sprung
up like mushrooms, and they can now be
numbered almost by hundreds, but all who
are DESTROYS of arriving at a correct under
standing of the causes, and clear history
of the events of the late lamentable war,
have felt the want Of a reliable history of the
same from Southern standpoint, by some
representative man of the South. This want
is about to be supplied by Alexander II.
Stephens. Mr.. Stephens was most earnest
protestant against rebellion, and only sue
cumbed at the last moment, when his State,
in spite of his warning, committed the great
error.
The bare announcement that this distin-
! gushed Statesman had determined to write
q book, would, of itself, be sufficient to
kindle lively and widespread interest in all
sections of this country; but when it is
known that he has chosen as his theme the
one so fruitful as 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
a curiosity entirely unparalleledint the annals
Of American literature.
1t presents a careful political analysis of
the past, separating real from apparent eau
ses of the late unhappy conflict, and gives
those interior lights and shadows of the
GREAT WAR, only known to those HIGH
OFFICERS, who watched the tlood-tide of
Revolution from its fountain-springs and
which were so accessible to Mr.. Stephens
from his position as second officer of the
Confederacy.
To public that has been surfeited with
apparently similar productions, it presents a
change of fare, both agreeable and salutary,
and an intellectual treat of the highest or
der. The great American War has at last
found historian worthy Of its Importance,
and at whose hands it receives that mode
rate, candid and impartial treatment which
truth and justice 50 urgently demand.
This most valuable work is sold only by
subscription, and the publishers want an
agent in every County.

Advices from Spain to-day confirm
all the previous reports that the insur-

capital of the nation. The royal troops
who were sent against Santander, and
since the capture of that city have been
engaged in pursuing the rebels in that
quarter, have received orders to return
to Madrid for the protection Of the cap
ital. The city of Valladolid has pro-
nounced against the Queen, and the
revolt has already extended to most of
the provinces into which Old and New

Evening.-The Patrie says the situa-
ton in Spain is grave. The rebels are
gaining strength every day, while the
efforts Of the government to withstand
the torrent are evidently becoming
weaker. The last ship of the Spanish
navy has now joined the rebels, and all
reports indicate that public opinion
throughout the Kingdom favors revo-
luton. The portion of the army which
still remains faithful to the Queen is
disorganized, and little dependence can
be placed on it.

suRerIng Among Indians.

A correspondent of the st. Paul PiO-
1ssr, writing from Fort Wadsworth, D.
T., March s, gives the following sicken-
ing details of want and exposure among
the Indian tribes in Dakota:
We begin to get the details of the
sufferings of the Indians in the North
west. One of our scouts received let
ter, few days since, from one Of his
relatives on the Cheyenne. which states
that fifteen lodges near the Dogs Den
had been without game all winter.
Two or three men were sent to Devils
Lake to endeavor to get some proyis-
ions, but the storm which prevailed at
the time, in connection with the ema-
ciated condition of the messengers,
caused them to be long time on the
Journey; and although the command
ing officer at Fort Totten and others
forwarded few supplies, it is expected
they will not reach their destination
until after starvation shall have COM
pleted its work of determination in the
camp.
Near the Black Butte, on the Mouse
river, there were eighty lodges, all Of
whom are presumed TO have psrished.
There was also a small camp of the
Northern "ChieFs Bluff" who were
entirely without supplies, and no hope
is entertained of any of them being in
existence now.
The Indians st Devils Lake are get
ting fish enough to furnish them about
half meal day. Fish could be taken
in great quantities, but the Indians are
so miserably clad that they are unable
to withstand the intense cold, exposed
as they must be to the cold winds that
pass over the lake. A man when he
goes on the lake to fish, takes all the
clothing of the family. leaving the
women and children with nothing but
the fire. in the lodge to protect them
from the cold.

OLD LETTERs.-No two words can vel

the very intonation of our voice as we
utter them startles us. They summon
up anew the long silent echoes of sounds
heard only in the once world of youth
"a chaos now-out of which we have

What of that? The sound is significant,
in perfect unison with the tone that
shall vibrate through the hearts most

lifted, and the indwellipg spirit invoked
and the hollow sepulchre laid bare.
But courage raise the groaning lid,
and dive beneath the accumulated rub

about it like a chsrnel. A brave hand
