is army to-morrow in the direction of York. By a glance at the map it will be seen that this plan was the precise opposite of that of Hooker, as indicated by his dispatches two days before. The reason for the change was that Lee was reported not only on our side of the Potomac, but as already occupying Chambersburg, Carlisle, and threatening Harrisburg, and having at least a brigade in the town of York. He did not just then seem to care greatly for his communications, any more than did Hannibal of old after he had once obtained his strong foothold on the Continent of Europe. Lee had now corn, flour, cattle, and horses in abundance, and the farther north he pushed, the more sumptuous would be his supply. Lee's position in Pennsylvania gave ominous threats to Harrisburg and Philadelphia, caused real fright to the loyal people of Baltimore, and to the administration at Washington. The life of the Nation was in its greatest perilit appeared to hang upon but a thread of hope, and,

amour was for young commanders. Gen. George B. McClellan had been lifted into a sudden popularity by the indifferent affair of Rich Mountain. He was a graduate of West Point; had been one of the Military Commission sent to the Crimea; and just before the war had been employing his genius as superintendent of a railroad. He was now to take command of the Federal forces on the line of the Potomac, and to find himself suddenly exalted in the newspapers to comparisons with Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal and Napoleon the Great. The volatile, superficial and theatrically-inclined mind of the North is, perhaps, in nothing more strikingly displayed than in its demonstrations towards its public men. Yankee fame has come to be one of the curiosities of the world. Scott was the Greatest Captain of the Age. But McClellan was the Young Napoleon. The name of the new hero appeared on placards, on banners, and in newspaper headings. Reporters stretched their ears to catch the least word he utte

of the dead and rotten lion. Events, too, under Providence, are our masters. For the Rebels there can be no success. For them, every road leads to disaster. For them, defeat is bad, but victory worse; for then will the North be inspired to sublimer energy. The proposal of Emancipation which shook ancient Athens followed close upon the disaster at Chaeronea; and the statesman who moved it vindicated himself by saying that it proceeded not from him, but from Chaeronea. The triumph of Hannibal at Cannae drove the Roman Republic to the enlistment and enfranchisement of eight thousand slaves. Such is history, which we are now repeating. The recent Act of Congress, giving freedom to slaves employed against us, familiarly known as the Confiscation Act, passed the Senate on the morning after the disaster at Manassas. Xv.

, Morpeth, Fowell Buxton, Lushington, Stanley, the Grattans—walked with his friend George Thompson the editor of the Liberator, the least observed and the least known of the funeral procession, yet the one upon whom, if upon any one, Wilberforce's mantle had fallen, and whose prominence in this historic scene must grow with the shifting perspective of time. On Saturday, the 18th of August, Mr. Garrison embarked from London in the packet-ship Hannibal, Capt. Hebard, for the United States. At the end of a week Portsmouth was reached, and farewell letters despatched Ms. Aug. 31, 1833, from Nath. Paul and Joseph Phillips. to his English friends, who had generously supplemented the deficiency of his travelling credit. Five weeks more must elapse The Hannibal left Portsmouth on Aug. 26, and reached New York on Sunday evening, Sept. 29, 1833. before he could set foot on his native soil, where a reception awaited him as opposite as possible to that which he had met with in England

lly employed in endeavoring to crush me, hunt the Colonization Society out of the country, and vilify our national character. The flame broke out by reason of an unpremeditated Lib. 3.163. coincidence for which Mr. Garrison was in no wise responsible. Notices of a public meeting to form that New York City Anti-Slavery Society which he had effectively encouraged on his departure, were read from the Lib. 3.161. pulpits Not from all: some refused (Lib. 3.162). on the very day the Hannibal cast anchor in New York harbor, and the Courier and Enquirer at once associated it with his arrival. The notorious Garrison has returned; the friends of immediate emancipation are summoned to meet together. What, then, is to be Lib. 3.161. done? Are we tamely to look on, and see this most dangerous species of fanaticism extending itself through society? . . . Or shall we, by promptly and fearlessly crushing this many-headed Hydra in the bud, expose the weakness as well as the folly, m

entieth century, than between Prescott and Justin Winsor, in the first and second halves of the nineteenth. Stimulated by the prompt recognition accorded to him, Prescott turned to his next venture, The Conquest of Mexico. It is characteristic of his methods that his first step towards beginning the narration in which one figure, Hernando Cortes, was to hold the centre of the stage, was the examination of certain celebrated biographical records of exploits—Voltaire's Charles XII, Livy's Hannibal, Irving's Columbus. His criticism of the last is that the interest flags at the end. That is just what can be said of his own Mexico, finished in 1844. Where the glow of achievement is ahead of his hero, the narrative marches and carries the reader on. Or is it that Bernal Diaz carries the story triumphantly up to the Aztec city? Prescott's method of assimilating his authority, instead of giving excerpts, was used to good purpose here, and his paraphrases are very vivid. For instance, i
