-.4 .zxe War 6etnren the HhutsS, is
cause. Character. Conduct rna Resulss. :"
by Hon. Alexsnder u. Stephens. is the
title Of valuable work just isst,ed BY
Ze'sler. McCurdy & Co. Chic.go. H..
and St. Louis. Mo.
Tot this is one Of the most interest
ing oil all the works proauced By the war.
Mr. Stephens. with rare ability, keeps
unHagging the interest Of the reader.
while he discusses sad describes. In .
most clear. candid and stat-smsnlike
manner. the diedrent phases of the con-
hict. -
He has adopted the collo9uial style.
snd the book gives srries. Of supposed
discussions between himself and three
visitors. who represent tbs views Of the
Radical Republicans. the Couserv atives,
and the War Democrats.
This method Of writing serves to give
life and interest to a the whole history
MIR. Stephens differs from all other histo-
riAns Of the war in regard to its cause;
he maintains his position BY . series Of
mastery and most carefully framed argu.
ments. The character and conduct Of the
var he thoroughly understood. and from
aaHa'
his position as second officer Of the Con.
federacy. became acquainted with much
that was unknown to other writers. He
criticises sharply the positions and &C.
tions of officers. statesmen. and politi
clans on both sidcs A new Geld is open
ed in his history Of the results Of the con.
aict. and in his prophecies of future con-
sequences. No other writer has grappled
this subject. and we hardly know Of an
other. with the great statesm anships and
the high literary culture of Mr.. Stephens
to undertake the task. We would state
here that we disagree with many Of ths
conclusions drawn BY Mr.. Stephens, bu
no thinking man can fail TO admire tn,
cogency Of his logic. the power Of bis ar
guments. the elegance and simplicity o
his language. and the wonderful ingenui
ty with which he wesves oil these toseth
er to form the intensely interesting worl
before us.
We know Of no work containing s,
much valuable Information on the Sub
iects Of which It treats.
This most valuable work is sold only
by subscription, and the publishers wen

"a. SoL.:-The great Deuocratie pow WOW came
off to-day. Click. Miles and Clayton have
had their day. You know it never rains hut
it pours;" 80 to-day there has beenrno right
shower, but it poured. Not that II poured
Democrats, but poured difficulties over which
It was necessary to rise to make the meeting
success. First, Clayton, who, with Miles, was
to engineer the pow-wow through, managed TO
secure to himself an arrest for perjury, and
hence he could not act as Chairman, nor lucu-
brate the wheels of the machine, and being
the right wheeLhorse, his place could not be
filed, and hence he who was to make full
team with big dog under the wagon. was non
est. But Miles was loose; and by diut of Wis
iting stores aid places of resort, drummed out
quite small crowd. which he escorted to the
Court House. Telling them to stay there. he
ran for Click, whom he found at the hotel,
studying his piece. Him he then took over
Click, unfortunately, had not had time, as yet.
to learn his piece; therefore, he RECALLED the
dear people with digest of the financial con-
dition Of the United States Treasury. Nor
had he time to memorize the figures, as be
could not repeat them twice alike. So you
see, he poured. paved, provoked, and then
"p'inted" for home.
But still, before this, he promised, if made
Governor, he would do every thing they wish
ed him to do. Some say he promised to re,
move the grasshoppers, and to endorse a bill
for the prevention and cure of drouths, but I
hardly think he did this; yet he vas very free
in his promises. and he may. on the sly, have
made the srasshopper promise. E-.'
% Well, Of course, IL ended; dnd now comes
the heaviest shower of difficulties. Click had
been plaintire. sorrowful, persuasive. and IA
cetious; aud the truth is. there was stamping
of feet, and one or two hrrrahs. Here Miles
winkcd. and Click shut pan. when the Repub-
licans we're asked to kindly retire, and give
room for the Democrats to organize. Well.
they had room. There was room muchIy.
When the last Republican reached the dor.
he tnrhed a,out to see who stopped; being in
.he habit Of counting his focks. he was vain
enongh 10 attempt to number the unterrifed.
One, two. three. then eleven on those benches
up by tie speaker, and then Clayton and the
Deputy Sherif-sixteen in all. So, then, Of
the one huhdfed present, there were just six
teen to vote for seyEicur and Blair.
You may rely on this as very fair exhibit
Of the powwow. Then, SOL, hurrah for Grant |

Everything is cheering. The coming
over from the Democracy to Grant has
not been psr.lleled since the days when
Helvetia moved inte Gaul.
The movement in Maryland. which We
spoke of last week, still continues. and
gathers force. Like the Baltimore food,
it threatens to csrry everything before it.
In Indiana, tbs stampede is geuersl.
Union officers and soldiers. who have al
ways acted with the Democracy. are conf
ing ont for Grant by the plstopn. and
many of them are taking the stump for
him. The Germans in Indiana are al
most unanimous for Grant and Collar.
The changes have been SO numerous in
the overw helmingly Democratic south
western Congressional District Of the
State, that the Republicans even hope to
carry it. 9f4
The Elmira Daily Gazette. in Sey-
monr's own State, the only Democratic
daily 10 that city. has come out for Grant.
In lows. nearly every Democrat in
IN entire Township has declared for
Grant.
Chief Justice Pierson, of North Caro-
lins, has written telling letter in favor
Of Grant; and many other prominent
soutberners have joined the Union party.
Judge Alexander Rives and Ex-Gov.
ernor John 8. Carlisle. two old Virginia
Democrats, have come out for Grant.
Geo. NJ. Weston, heretofore one of the
leading Democrats in Maine. is making
Grant speeches.
In Southern Illinois, st q mass meet.
ing In one County, 800 voters changed
from Seymour 4 to Grant. Counties 10
that region which gave Fremont. in 1856.
and Lincoln. in 1860. scarcely any votes.
will give Grant decided msjorities.
The nomination of such men as Val.
landighan. the tone of the Southern
Democrats, and things of like character,
have disgusted what few real soldiers
there were in the New York Convention.
and several Of the most prominent ones
will soon come out openly for Grant.
In New York. Chicago. and all the
principal cities, Irish Grant Clubs are
forming. and be will receive more Irish
votes than any candidate ever did in op-
position to the Democracy.
The Jews throughout the country are
taking q sober second thought on the
matter of Grants order during the war
and the Democratic grab for the Jewish
vote will be failure. Very few Jews
will vote against Grant, except those
who belong to the Dem ocratic party.
Even old Bsrks County. Psnnsylvsnis,
that was always good for Whatever ma
jority was required of her. kicks against
Seymour. and his majority will fall far
short Of the usual figure.
Experienced politicians have no doubt
that New York will give Grant q lsrge
majority: Pennsylvania promises him
$4,000 majority; Ohio and Indiana. each
10000; Illinois. $4,000 ; Iowa. the po,
litical thermometer is not long enough to
get up to the fgure. Kansas is the only
Northern State that is sure to go for
Seymour! "Intelligent Democrats" put
the majority at 10000!
Let the ball roll. "Best" Is Q word
that fails to express the fate of the Sey-
mour ticket, in November.
