The WAR BErwEEN. THE SrArEs.-
THE War between the States, its
Causes, Character, Conduct and Re
suits, by Hon. ALExANDER ii. STEP
HENS, is the title of valuable work
Just issued by The National Publish
ing Co.; Cincinnati, Ohio.
Histories of the late icivh war have
sprung up like mushrooms, and they
can now be numbered almost by hun
dreds, but all who are DESTROYS of ar
irving at a correct understanding Of
the cause, and a clear history of the
events of the late lamentable war
have felt the want ola reliable history
of the same from a Southern stand
point, by some representative man
of the South, This want is about to
be supplied by Alexander II. Steph-
ems. MI. Stephens was a most earn
est protestant against rebellion, and
only succumbed at the last moment,
when his State, in spite OF his warn
ing, committed the great error,
The bare announcement that this
distinguished Statesman had determ-
med to write a book, would of itself,
be sufficient to kindle a lively and
widespread interest in all sectiohsl
of the 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 unparalleled ing the annals
of American literature. +
1t presents a careful political anal
ysis of the past, separating real from
apparent causes of the late unhappy
conflict and gives those interior lights
and shadows of the great war, only
to those high officers, who
watched the fiood-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 a public that has been surfeited ]
with apparently similar productions, !
It presents a change of fare, both {
agreeable and salutary, and an intel !
ectual treat of the highest order.--
The great American war has at last
an historian worthy of its i'm !
oortance, and at whose hands it re- {
,eives that moderate, candid and i'm !
treatment which truth and !
ustice so earnestly demand. /

alton of the National Union Republican
Convention of the 21st of May inst, it
seems proper that some statement of
views beyond the mere acceptance Of the
nomination should be expressed. The
proceedings of the Convention were
marked with wisdom, moderation. and
patriotism, and I believe express the
feelings of the great mass Of those who
sustained the country through its recent
trials. 1 indorse the resolutions. If
elected to the office of President of the
United States, it will be my endeavor to
administer all the laws in good faith,
with economy, and with the view of CIV
ing peace, quiet, and protection every
where. In times like the present it is
impossible, or at least eminently i'm
proper, to lay down a policy to be ad-
iered to, right or wrong, through an ad
ministration of four years. New polit-
ical issues, not foreseen, are constantly
arising; the views of the public on old
ones are constantly changing, and
purely administrative officer should al
WAYS be left free to execute the will of
the people 1 always have respected
that will, and always shall. Peace and
universal prosperity its sequence with
economy OF administration. will tighten

stantly reduces the National debt. Let
us have peace. With great respect,
