Few doc- uments ofequalinterest and importance ever came from'the press As a history of thé war itis altogether the best yet written, for it gives: | in. the diapatches of the Secretary of State to eur Ministers:abroad, the inside viewrof atl great military and ‘political. événts a3 they | trangpire, and so forms an interesting + Diary Of the War.” International law is discussed: | and stated with a clearness and ability: cur- pacoing the best treatises: THE philosoptiy of Republican Government, as held by ‘Mr. Sew- || ard, appears in almost every dispateh, andis | by no: means the least important feature of the Hl ‘work. Se much for Mr! Seward’s part 6f the | ‘Volumes. ‘In addition we bave the Jetters of | our Ministers and Consuls General, and when ‘we give the names of Adams, Dayton; Motley, | Marsh, Perry, Cerwin and others, the ability | ‘with which many of them aro ~vritien will ba readily inferred..

Subjects in rebel privatecring and piracy. This | Portion of'the document we are sure will com- | mand unusmal attention, especially in certain quarters, The faithful labors of Mr. Adams, as well as the vigilance of Mr. Dudley, oar Consul at Liverpoof, will not ve oreriooked. Another subject in the English correspoadence of singular interest is the complete series of | Addresses ‘to the President, udopted in Eng- dand, Ireland, Wales and Scotiaud, on the ubject of our war, slavery, and the procia- mation, The proceedings, and resolutions of all the meetings a1 which the addresses wera i Adopted, are given with fidelity. We doubt if 80 much anti-slavery sentiment con be fouad in apy one book ever published at home or abroad. It was's wise thought of the Secre. | tary of State to give this official record to thosa important meetings of our friends in Great Britain. “It is.a just and vonrtecus recognition of their manifestations of friendship in oar Gays of adversity ans trivi.

He isa good man, and mortifies the flesh by riding a bard.trotting horse-with short stir- rups., Well, it got whispered about amongst the reporters the other morning that brother North- rnp, then and there present, and looking as calm asa summer's moraftig, was fresh from his yisitation to the small-pox hospital, with pes- | tence doubtless distilling from every thread of his clothing, snd lineament of his beam- ing countenance. There was of coufse a hub- bub and scatteration amongst the press-gang, each and every member of which fancied he | felt'the cold chills premonitory of small-pox running down his back. They held their noses and requested. Brother Northrup to leave. Brother N. conld’nt see it, and stoutly maintained with Councilman Ranb that the small-pox travels in the air. The reporters went off in hot haste to see Speaker Colfax about it. Brother Northrup held his ground. Up came 4 missive notifying brother N. that his room was considerably bet- ter than bis company., Brother N. fell back in good order upon the gate-room, grasping his avenging gillot in one hand and handful of stationery in theother.
