A VISIT TO WALT WHITMAN. From Ailnne!• tihrc’Aof Cht Uvirton Awdf-iv Philadelphia, Nov. 1. IS73.—•Caiiueii Is reached by a ferry creasing tbo Delaware Ihvcr from this city, and, but for being in a diffcient 9.ate, might be spoken of as a suburb of Phila delphia. It w.-.fl there that i hastened to see- my old fiicnd Wait Whitman od the drat morning after mv arrival here. Stopping at a neat brick residence on the corner oi Stevens and Y»’tst Hiree’b, 1 learned that he wa abient. aud per haps a; tin printiag-.iAlco of the i?cp»!diV, where bia new Look was in tbo press. In aeenao this waa an agreeable dHupijo.ii:ciont, for it showed that, notwithstanding ominous rumors concern* mg bis health, tbo “pood grey poet” was abio to more about. But, as I went off to look him up, I could nut help rotudtnboruig bow hkoli».m to tbo first attempt 1 ma jo, nearly twenty yearn ago, to find Walt In Biooki.*n. Tboo also I was told 1 should find him at a printing-office, where be was printing bia book. Af;cr so many yens, m which be bus achieved fame, the poet has still to print h:u books at a job-ollico, pay for each detail of tbo work bunself. and personally supervise tbo mechanical execution. Mo Ameri* can puohalmr will iss ;o bia works : the book* eo.lais seem to regard him an a fdr victim for firamt; no magazine will acco.t bis M&L, and the orthodox compendia of poetry o mtam nouo of hi-i notably American productions—not oven Emerson's J'arnataus. At the printing-office 1 h.a uod that Whitman had gone across to I’liila dolphin, and I roiurncJ to bis puce of residence. 1 It is tbo afio.ls of bia uro.her, with whom Walt boards, I bud the privilege of comernirig vmhtnov.ifo of this brotnor, who gave mo somewhat happier accounts of the poet than wo had rocnv«d in London. both a-* to health and other circumstances. Although his health is considerably shattered, fiom an a.tuck of pur* aiyhis widen impede* tbo movement of b.s loner limbs, be is suit able to go over to Philadelphia and enjoy its various line libiaiimi and loading* looms, ttubeo juemlv I met Ids brother, and it was n pk-a-uro to know that tuo aillicted poet was dwoihug with a younger brother and siHcr* in-law nhort* imeliigciico and affection cruM not fail to nup;.ly a happy homo for his declining wars. Tuo mother, to whom Wait waa eo do* voted, died some >cars ago, and bo seems to hove fixed himself permanently at Camden. Mrs. Whitman was hind enough to Jet me carry awar api oof-copyof Wal.’s new book. “Two lUnilpte," the peruea! of wmcb I much enjoyed. The personal interest of (bis vo urao is gi eater than that of any other which Whitman has wiltion. It is one of two volumes which will appear lo a few moutus. Hie firet being b>s “ Leaves of Grass.” This will bo the second volume, and. beside the “J’ussago to India,” “After All Not to Create Only,”and one or two other poem* wiih "hick Ins el se readers are familiar, it contains twelve or poems inner primed before. Tbo boos alternates eputo aompiiy with a streak of pto.io and u streak of poel.y. Among the latter there aie copious self-criticisms of tbo •• leaves of Grass/' the chief aim of which the amber uffiima to bsvj boon moral. Thu book al.u contains a vciy ru* markable coDliibiitimi to the literature of Ur' late beression struggle. entitled “ .Memoranda Paring the War.” Some 'portions of Whitman's Plarv, white ministering in the hospitals iu "Virginia, have already found their way into prl.it, but the whole iMry is boro piloted, and will bo found of surpassing interest. It so happen'd that when the Federal iro >ps occupied the Village of Falmouth, on tbo ItappahiunncK iliver, the bouse owned bv uir father, nuere m> cany life was passed, was used as sb aL and it won in that homo that Wait began bis worn of help fulness. In reading the umi’» relating to a re gion eitb winch 1 was so laminar, Euros much unpressud by Whitman’s graphic outlines of the sceneiv, and bis sympathetic appreciation of tbo spirit of Old Virginia, ibese notes wore pen ciled do*u sometime* mi battlefields, and are often very thrilling. !■» Ihia volume (“Two ll.vulels”) there aiesjmo touching, though but casual, allusions to lim condition of health, and it is pervaded by a fueling that it represents ms final work. . On tbs day after mv call, Walt came to see and dice with me. and 1 bad many Uouia’ couvois*- tiuo witu him. He is only iu bis 37tb year, nor does bis tdco present so many Indications of age as 1 was prepared to sue. lie Is about as band* auuie an oi l man as 1 have seen, bis lucks parting over a bare and mo.it noble forehead, the eve clear and sweet, tbo featutes manly and ru llncd, and tbs strength of the large bead soften* od by au aspect at ouco pensive and simple.
