A Correspondent of the San Diego Union writing from Sacramento under date of Janu- ary 18th gives the following account of q little difficulty between oracles al the Capital:-
 4 first cluss sensation ocurred yesterday afternoon in which Ex-Mayor McCoppin of San Francisco ard Senator Betge of the same city were tho prominent figures. NcCoppin has recently published card, in which he makes certain statements which the Senator uoder "privilege" in the morning denounced as false. During the morning recess Mir Beige was sitting in the restaurant in the Capitol, eating his lunch, when MT McCoppin Stepped into he restaurant, and said: "Mr Beige, heard your question of privilege this morning in ;he Senate, and understand you to say that lie" Beige was aboutrsplying when McCoppin said; suppose you want my answer and hero 1t is" at the same time giv- ing him slap in the face with the back of his hand. Some friends iuterfered and dragged McCoppin away. During the night it was reported that Betg' 'friends'' were consult jag on the matter and that duel would be almost certain to result.

should furnish a monthly pretext for

lie we're facetiously informed that
the Pickwick Papers, the Pickwick Diary,
the Pickwick Correspondence, in short the
whole of the Pickwick Papers, had been pur-
chased from the patriotic secretary at an i'm
mense expense, and placed in the hands of
Boz, the author of "Sketches of Everyday
Life and Everyday People" gentleman
whom the publishers consider highly quail
fed for the task of arranging these important
documents and placing them before the
public in an attractive form, and who
is at present deeply immersed in his
arduous labors' We know how
speedily Dickens got rid of all this cum
brous machinery of coclzney club, which
after the first chapter receives only once or
twice q bare mention. 1t was during the
progress of 'Pickwick" that he undertook
the editorship of Bentey's MsceHany, and
wrote 'Oliver Twist, which appeared serially
in that periodical. "'Pickwick" and oliver
Twist" continues Tile Graphjc, Gin fact
were written together, month by month, nei-
ther work being at any time, we believe, one
day ahead of the printers demand for manu-
script, fact which is, in ITSELF of some in
terest in literary history. Pickwicks monthly
green leaves never, we believe, failed to
appear; but the Parish Boys Progress was
certainly once interrupted. In the
month of June, 1897, the readers of
Bentley missed the usual instalment of
'Olivor Twist, an apology appearing for the
author on the ground that owing to the
sudden death of a dear young relative to
whom he was most affectionatey attached,
he is compelled to seek a short interval of
rest and quiet Bentley was given up in the
following year, for ''Pickwick" hadlaid hold Of
the public attention, and the author was
already widely famous. No thanks, however,
to TIE critics, who only perceived the new
light when its rays were dazzling the eyes of
all. One weekly critic, indeed, did remark on
the first number of ''Pickwick' that the
design is playful and the opportunities for
good-patured satire do not seem to be ne
elected. When nine numbers had appeared,
the AHeaoum reported as follows: The
writer Of the periodical which is now before
Us has great cleverness; but he runs closely
on some leading hounds in the humorous
pack, and when he gives tongue (perchance a
vulgar tongue) he reminds you OF the baying
of several deep dogs who have gone before.

REVIEW WOF NEW BOOKS.

HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR. By
John William Draper, M. D., LID.
Volume III. Published by Harper & Bro
thers Philadelphia agents: Claxton, Rem
sen & Haffelfnger.
This is the concluding volume of DIR.
Draper's great work on the war for the sup
preston of the Rebellion, and it takes up the
story of the conflict where the last volume
ended, at the Emancipation Proclamation of
President Lincoln, and brings it down to the
surrender of Lee and Johnston, the capture of
JEFF. Davis, and the disbanding of the armies.
1t cannot be expected at a period so near
the great events themselves, that thoroughly
impartial and satisfactory history of the great
American civil war can be written, although
the facilities now offered for obtaining infor-
nation are such as will perhaps more than
compensate for the absolutely judicial spirit
in which the historian of the future is ex-
pected to write. DR.. Draper is entitled to
credit, however, for having evidently en-
deavored to divest his mind of all passion and
prejudice, and to record the events of the
war, with their causes and effects, with the
pen of philosopher rather than as partisan
He has produced really great work that is
a monument of patient and thorough investi-
cation of facts, and that will give better
idea of the great conflict in all its bearings
than any publication on the subject that has
yet been put before the public. For this
generation at least this will be considered as
the standard history of the American civil
war, and for the accuracy of its facts, at
least, it is not likely to be challenged either
at the North or the South. The period of
the war recorded in the volume be-
fore us was one of great interest. It
was then that we perfected the
organization of our armies, retrieved the
numberless disasters of the early stage of the
conflict, and finally achieved the results for
which we were fighting. The description of
the various battles and campaigns given by
Dr. Draper are based as far as possible upon
the reports of the commanding officers on
both sides, compared with the reports of de-
tails made by subordinates. In every case
the language of the chief actors is retained
as far as possible, and the effort of the author
has been to obtain absolute accuracy so far as
it was in his power to do So In two conclud
ing chapters retrospect of the war is made
and the prospects Of the future are discussed.
The work is made complete by very full
index. The style of DIR. Draper is elegant
and graphic, and we commend this history tC
our readers, as well for its value as recori
