UOwISOS,S ATTACK ON GREG.

It has now been more than two weeks
since West. Johnston & Co., Of Richmond,
publishers in this country of Greg's His
tory OF the United States, said over their
own signature in the Richmond Dispatch.
that the author Of the unjust attack upon
that work over the signature "Uplands,"
was by the Rev. r. Il. Howison, author
and publisher of a History of the
United States, which is designed for use
in schools and is, therefore, to n large
extent a rival publication. No denial of
this statement has been made that we
are aware of. so that we are justified in
assuming that 1t is true.
What possessed Mr.. Howison to write
this attack on Greg passes our compre
hension. 1t is the first kind word that has
been said Of the South and her people by
an outsider, and it is word spoken in
season and with extraordinary power.
There is not in the range of modern litera-
ture a more profound historical study
than this work, and 1t is written by a
real friend of the people of the South,
VINO loves lHein dS IL tHc oOutn were his
native land. Our past is safe with pcs
terity. if there were no testimonial to il
but this one book. for 1t has faithfully
recorded the causes that led us into the
great civil war. and 1t has painted in
glowing and overwhelmingly attractive
colors the heroic deeds of our citizen
soldiery in that war.
The heart Of every Southern man ought
to go out in deepest gratitude TO this
volunteer friend who has bearded the
world and carried our cause into its very
teeth with the power of an Ajax Instead
of that we have from this Southern man
carping quarelling criticism, untrue
in its statements of facts, and utterly
misleading and perverting in insinuation.
1t was not worthy act for Mr.. Howl
son, being a rival author, to criticise
Greg's book at all. Ii was an act TO be
perpetually censured that in making his
remarks he should have made statements
which do absolute injustice TO the book
by presenting it to those who do not know
1t as 1t is not.
We read and reread Mr.. Greg's work
with perpetual and increasing delight. 1t
makes our blood course quicker through
arteries and veins that are no longer
what they we're when the great deeds Of
our people were performed to read his
gorgeous pictures of Stonewali Jacksons
dash and Longstreet's obstinate defenses;
and our sincerest prayer is that every
Southern boy and girl may come to know
its pages by heart. Mr.. Howison owes
It TO himself to publicly withdraw what
he ought never to have said.

According to the Public Ledger, the &C
cident to the steamship Umbria is re-
hinder not so much of the dangers of the
sea as Of the safety Of ocean travelling.
The larger and faster vessels. such as
the Umbria, the Etruria, the City OF
Paris and the City of New York, cross
the ocean with quite as much regularity
as to the time of passage proportional to
distance as that observed by the ferry
boats between Jersey City and New York.
Once in a great while an accident may de-
lay them for a few hours, or as In the
case of the Umbria, for several days;
but they are so constructed as TO be toll
erably safe even when their machinery
Is disabled during storm. The recent
accidents to the Spree and the Noordland
were even graver than that from which
the Umbria suffered, but both succeeded
in landing their passengers. 1t is when
spproaching land that the greatest risks
are run; on the open sea modern steam
ship is as safe as anything on land,
though it is difficult to get anyone but
sailor to believe so.

JIstice Johns Court.

Yesterday the docket at Justice Johns
court was remarkably thin, considering
that it was Monday. The law-breakers
seem to have largely sworn off from their
old ways. and new year was ushered in
with all the pomp and dignity that char
acterizes the goodresolution act
The colored individuals were decidedly
in the minority In fact, only two choco-
late-colored dudes were hauled over the
Goals for damages against the city, and
the usual New Year DRINKS were fewer

A London dispatch sets the tears OF the

domestic or social terror, of which all
Europe has for some time been in dread
was the temperance of hoop-skirts ana
crinoline A stray remark from worth
sounded the alarm few weeks ago, ana
the English papers especially were full OF
lamentations on the subject. 1t is even
said that anti-crinoline societies were in
process of organization, when there came
a reassuring announcement that the origi-
nal monstrosty of a generation ago is
not to be again introduced. 1t is made
known that all that the arbiter of fash

The portrait of the Hon. James A. Sed-
Don has been added to the collection of
portraits of distinguished Virginians in
The Capitol. Mr.. Seldom represented the
Richmond district In Congress before the
war for two terms, and was afterwards
Secretary of War In Mr.. Davis Cabinet.
Mr.. Seldom was one of the ablest as
well as one of the purest, public men
whom Virginia has ever produced, and
the addition of his portrait to the Capt.
toll gallery is a just tribute to the work
which he performed, not only for Vir-
ginia as a member of Congress, but also
for the whole South as member of the
Confederate Cabinet.
