certain hill in the rear of the line, which
artorded a view of the. whole battle field,
and 'there watch the movements of the

said he bad already suffered more than

disgraced. Gen. Washington replied that
by his proclamation be had forestalled
his anticipations, and then presented him
with a captain' commission in his Ljfe
Guard, in which he served till the close
of tbe war. Soon after he retnrned from
the service be left Norwich with his fath

and at the time of the commencement of

from Great Barrington to proceed to Len

under Sbay and he issued an order for

rounding the dwelling of Mr. Leffingwell
they entered the house and arrested

time for him to put 00 his usual opp"rel
the house being at the time filled with
soldiers, the family discovered that certain
articles of value had been taken from tnei
places of deposit which tbey made known
to Mr. Lcffingwcl! before his departure.
Tho train, which consisted of some dozon
sleighs, started on their return, and after
some eight or ten miles halted to refresh
themselves and horses. The landlord
where thay stopped being acquainted with
Mr. Lcffingwcll's family, and it then be

had made a mistake and arrested the fa

which he named, viz : a large silver tank-
ard and all their nlvcr spoons and othor
small articles The officer thought thurc
must be seme mistakcs no one of his
men would be guilty of such a crimo as
they were strictly forbidden to molest any
articlo of property ; he ordered a gnard
over each sleigh in the train and coramenc
ed a search, beginning at the bead 01
forward sleigh and proceeding to the rear,
nothing being found until searching the
rear or hind sicigh, where every article
known to bo mjssing was found, and some

many, where hostilities were carried on,
instead of going down daring tat yrogreM
of the war, went tip fully five fer cent
and gold in this maiket, instead of going
op during the, war, weut down fully
five per cent. These remarkable facts arc
woftby of being recalled at this moment,
certaiuly should not be overlooked ' by
those whose foam are constantly wrought
upon by th6 speculative and sensation
dispatches that are daily received from
Europe.
We know well enough that a war be.
tween Prussia and France would be a di
ferent affair from last Summer's war be
tween Prussia and Austria ,. But we see
no reason to suppose that the differences
would necessarily be of such a character
that the former must produce disastrous
consequcnees in this country. In some
respects it may be harder upon us, but i
others it assuredly looks lesa threatening
than did tbe war a year ago. The com
ing war (if thus, we may speak) is likely
to cover mora than did the war of last
year ; but there are many reasons
doubt: ts bringing the oposing forces i front
of each other, and it will be agaiust the
precedents as well as the necessities of the
day if it take .any great time to bring
about such trials of strength as must soon
demonstrate whose must be the triumph
iiecent history luruishcs very striking ex.
amples of how peoples not ls brave than
the French and quite as determined as
the Prussians have very readily succumb.
ed beforo that which thev saw it was
futile to resist; and we have even seeu
how men not less long-headed than Na-
poleon and with quite as penetrating
ision . as Bismarck may be quickly
brought, to acknowledge accomplished
tacts, when they discover it is impossible
to refuto them. , This is preeminently the
genius of modern times, and the last three
great wars in Europe give proof that it
as had more than one opportunity of dis-
aymg itself.
Itis altogether unlikely, if a war breaks
out between I ranee and Prussia on thn
nxemburg question, that it will involve
ther of the other three great Powers of
Europe. So far as that matter is concern
ed, it may be considered assured that
neither England nor Russia will take part
on either si(.e. Yohavo heard (through
.in, Mvn5iiuiB ui acuve cnorts being
made by both Prussia and France to se
cure an alliance with Austria, and we
have heard, now of the success of one and
now of the other. But we see as littlp
reason to bolieve that Austria would allow
hersolf to be used by France as by Trusia.
and it must be remembered that the policy
ot von ueust is altogether against permitr..
ing Austria to be dragged into war at this
time on any account. Several of the les
er States might be forced to participate in
tho. quarrel, but as regards Eurupd a
large a duel between Fianco and Prussi
ulone would be more in keeping with the
logio of the time.- ..:
Such a war during the coming Summer
a war or boundaries between to conti
guous States should not, in ' the nature
of things, produce any overwhelming effect
upon the fortunes of America. If other
matters, like tbe "Eastern Question" were
to arise simultaneously with this,' we
should doutles feel a greater revulsion :
out tne present nnesasiness is caused sole
ly by the probabilities of a war between
trance and Prussia, concerning the For
tresst of Luxemburg . aud if we travel be.

.Neither our commerce, our finances, nor

be sufficient to command tbe attention of
all general readers. But better than that
array of distinguished writers itself, is
the fact that oaeh of them has here
wrought an especiul work, and given to
the public some of tbe finest proofs of bis
genius and strength as a writer.
The subject discussed under several
beads is interesting, sot to tho scholar
alone, but to all classes of people, all Beets
of tbe religious world, to tbe mere lovers
of history as well, and to all ages in lifo.
from the adult down to the simplest
child who can read. 'This makes the woik
eminently fitted for the family circh. The
stylo is elcgunt and easy, and the matter
is of such interest, and the narratives and
descriptions so well told that one is drawn
on, page after page, delighted and unwea
ried. Tbe book is marred ly no secta
rian bias, while its tono throughout is
uncompromisingly moral and exalted.
This book is timely, too, for wo have
been flooded with all sorts of Works upon
the late National Conflict, and with innu
merable Books of Fiction, of all grades,
till the public appetite must crave some
thing else. '
Tho novel form in which the subjects
of this work aro presented cannot fail to
please those even to whom the pages of or
dinary history give but little interest,
while at the Same time, it bears so much
f substantial instruction.
Its illustrations, too, are very attractive
