 There has long been a great and universally-felt want of a History of the United States suitable for general use. This want is now being supplied by The National Publishing Co.,, who have issued a handsome volume, styled "The Centennial History of the United States" by James D. McCabe, a we'll known historical writer. This work will, undoubtedly, take rank as the Standard History of the United States It is no dry mass of detaiis-no bombastic eff fort to infiame the national pride, but is a clear vivid and brilliant narrative of the events of our his- tory, from the discovery of the American Continent down to the present time. It traces the evil dences of that mysterious race, the first occupants of our country, and gives a most interesting ac- count of the Indians of North America, from the time of the coming of the white men. The voyages of Columbus, the explOra- tiOns of the different nations of Europe and the final occupation and conquest of the land by Eng land, are told with graphic power.
 Every step of our colonial his tory is traced with patient fidelity, and the sources of those noble, and we trust, enduring institu- tions which have made our cOun- try free and great, are shown with remarkable clearnesS. The caus- es of our great struggle for Inde- pendence are told with a logical force and ability unsurpassed in any work of the day. Then fol- flows a clear and succinct account lOf the formation of the Federal Constitution; the establishment of the Union, the course of affairs until the breaking out of the Sec ond War with England; and a full and comprehensive account of that
 War and it's results. The events of our career from the close of that contest to the commencement Of the Civil War, follow in their or. der. The history of the Civil
 War is related with intense vigOr, and with a strict fidelity to truth and the work closes with an ac- lcount of the course of affairs since the end of that great conflict. The author writes throughout with the calmness and impartiality of historian, and pleads the cause of no party or section. He states
 facts, points out the lessons which they teach, and appealing to
 neither passion nor political feel
 ing, trusts to the good sense of his countrymen to sustain his views
 Tn order to render the work com
 plete in every respect, the author has added to it an appendix, giv. ing an account of the approaching
 International Centennial EXhibi-
 tiOn.
 It is comprised in one large
 handsome octave volume of 92j pages, and contains 442 fine en- gavings on steel and wood of his
 torical personages and scenes. The price is so low that all can afford to purchase copy, and each sub
 scriber is presented with a supert
 Iithographic engraving of the
 Centennial Exhibition Building and Grounds. It is sold by sub scription only by Mir. Thomas ; : Halleck who is the authorized ! agent for this section and is now , canvassing for it. ap1-t2. l oS n q
