Scenery, Relics and Traditions of the
War for Independence: By BE1. J., Los
SING. Published In two volumes, by
HARPER Bros, New YORK. For ale by
ROBERT CLARKE o Cincinnati.
Mr.. LOSING not only writes excel
lent history, but he collects the mate
rails from which that history is made.
Nh. LossING's industry is oqualed
only By his conscientiousness, which
leads him to treat all parties with tho
utmost impartiality, and to give all
the facts that throw light upon the
contest, which is q novelty in writing
about it. We have had enough par
tisan history. It is proper that the
history Of such a contest should be
given in a sound manner, aud such
is the book Mr.. LOSING has placed
before his ceuntrymen. after immense
exertion, to make it worthy of their
appreciation. OF the mechanical
part of the work, we cannot speak too
highly. 1t is an ornament to any IL
brary. and is interesting to both young
and old.

Baillie, still pursue the business, more
however. from the Old habit than for
any real profit they derive from it.
Most OF them are scattered, or have
taken up some of the employments
which the spread of the white settle

They have become small traders, or
store keepers farmers on the borders
of civilization, or hangers on of ira
ding posts, living on the memories
of the past. The new impetus given
to civilization will soon clear them off
entirely, and the place which once
knew them will know them no more.

A Smell of Powder from Italy.

The cable brings bad news from II
ally. The politicians, the churchmcn,
the financiers,~ and the peace advo-
Gates, have worked themselves into
an inexiricable muddIe, and as result
there occurred at Pavia, near Flor
ence. collision between the citizens
and the military, in which numbers
were killed and wounded on both
sides. At the same time we find
Senor LAMA promising the Parlia-
ment that the government will do all
in its power to prevent the recurrence
of such lamentable events. All this
is very vague, Of course, but enough
is told to make the prospect a dis
couraging one. The only hope of 1t.
ally is in the "unifcation' of which
we have heard so much, and that can
never be realized without rest and
quiet. If the country could be kept
perfectly docile for few years, the
new Italy might work out its deliver
ance, but with internal strife and dis
-sension going on at present, the ron--
dition Of affairs can only grow worse
and worse. It is, moreover, quite.
clear that the existence of the council
i'll Rome is anything but favorable
circumstance as regards the peace OF
Northern Italy. Old religious feuds
are re-awakened, the church grows in
soleut and aggressive, and the oil of
fanaticism is poured upon the fame
of political strife. Evidently the new
millennium of Italy is much farther off
than most people have been accustom--
ed to believe.-Leader.

What is RadicaIism2

The Radical party is intolerant, pro
scriptive and vindictive.
| 1t is totally devoid of that chivalry
and courtesy of belring which, howev-
er bitter the opposition, distinguished
the old Wing and Democratic parties.
For years its star has been in the
ascendant and its authority there was
no one to dispute.
The opportunities it has enjoyed for
doing good have been countless and its
power commensurate with that of the
nation.
/ Instead of being the party of good
will, consultation, kindness and har-
monv, its rule has been inexorable,
repellant and revengeful.
After five years of uninterrupted
reign. we find people. uot prosper
Gus, united, contented, as there was
every reason to expect and every right
to demand, but crippled in all their re-
sources wounded in their deepest feel
ings, and in their heart of hearts," di-
vided, discordant, belligerent."
This is sorry record, indeed. It
might be considered "a comedy of er-
rors," but for the dark lines of tragedy
which have been cut black and deep.
The Radical party is in favor of ne
gro suffrage and white disfranchise-
ment. OF this unnatural favoriteism.
of this reversal of human sympathies
they boast.
1t is in favor of political and social
equality. Nay more, they favor the
supremacy of the blacks over those Of
their own color! They would force
upon US condition of things which
nature instinctively teaches us to abb
hor. Not satisfied with making the
negro our equal or superior publicly
and politically, they would humiliate-
us by making him our peer also pri-
vately and socially-would compel US
to fraternize in all public places,
to ride with him in the same coach,
to eat with him at the same table, to.
sleep with him in the same bed. Ands
when our instincts revolt at the unnat.
urat afillation, We are punished for
our contumacy.
The Radical party is in favor of
centralized, despotic Government
The Constitution is characterized as
Il league with death and a covenant
with He'll" The Supreme Court is
disregarded and its decisions treated
with disdain. When it would hold
the balances evenly poised, the sword:
is thrcwn disdainfully in to decide the
issue. Congress, the great Anarch,
would usurp all power and under what
is termed the guarantee clause" of
the Constitution would overthrow the
Constitution itself and destroy the
Government.
The Radical party is the party of
the bondholders, speculators, and pro-
tectionists. 1t protects the few and.
the many. 1t panders
to the rich and taxes and plumbers the
poor.
The history of the Radical party
has been a history of corruption and
crime, of waste and extravaganza, of
and wrongs unexampled.
Debt, taxation, peculation, disfi&n-
negro equality, violated
law, militia rule. desolated homes ana
1arEened hearts these are some of
the fruits of Radicalism.
Forever perish all such fruits =

Frank, with significant look. "a
thief may find other places for his
plunder besides in his chest. Indeed,
if he's an old hand at it, he would be
likely to-"
This home-thrust put an end to the
discussion for the moment; for Tom,
as well as Derby and the rest of his
gang, were afraid Of Wightman, who
alone was q match for any two Of them.
But when John was relieved
from the wheel, we told him what had
occurred, and how suspicion was
thickening upon him. Frank asked
him, if he were willing to open his
chest and let Us all have look at its
+ contents.
No said he, quietly, ':I am not
willing"
"But why not if you are Innocent"
''i cannot say why not, but I can
assure You that I know nothing about
the stolen things. You must either
take my word for it, if a general search
is determined upon, open my chest by
force, for L shall not consent to have
it done"

would snit YOU better, Ell ?"
No" I cannot show the contents
of it, even to Bill. If the matter is
pressed hard. l shall appeal to the old
man for protertion-though l don't
know us that would do any good
''None at ALL" said Wightman and
I, both at once.
"What would he do, do you think?
Exercise his authority, and de-
mani the key at once-nr open it by
force. He has heart about the thefts,
as you know; and I heard him tell
Mr. Baldwin that, i another case was
he should make general
search. and fog the thief, if he could
be found"
The boy rested his face upon his
hands in thought, but made no an
