Gravt, Col. Badeav, Col. Webster, and a few friends. ge all about twenty. Upow the conclusion of the services, and after receiving the congratu- lations of the friends present, the newly mar- ried couple left on the evening train for New York city, where they will spend several days, sud then visit Rochester. This mor there was s large erowd at the Epiphany Obureh, that nad assembled there before 11 o'clock, all being strangers to both Col. Par.

About half-past eleven it was whis- pered around that the wadding took place last evening, and there was censideranle disap- pointment manifested, espesially among the Jadies, and such expressions as + What was the sense of beiag married privately!” «What is the use of disappoimtn: peo- ple? ib, weal, they are married any- how; itis all right,” Ac., dc., were frequent, Aud 1oany of the fair damsels left the Church declaring tit was mean” toget married private- jy.

It recognises Walt Whitman under the very thin yer thrown around the central figure of tne story And considers the license taken in its creauon 48 not only irreverent but blasphemous, It Adds:—- We are no: yet quite prepared toiden- tify Mr. Walt Whitman with oar Saviour, even under the potent inspiration of Mr. 0°. Connor, and the introduction of this extraor- dinary feature ia a misfortune for Putnam's and ite really clever contriputor.” * While the general reader my not be willing to indorse fully the critic's views, it can hardly be denied, we presome, 1 Mr. O'Connor's admiration for the “good gray poet,” as he is called, proved too much for his better judg ment. Indeed, it seems to have so possessed him as to lead him to imitate, uncon-cionsly mo doubt, the peculiar literary style of Mr. Whitman. Aside from these features, the story is too long, and we doubt whether it Wul add anything to its author’s reputation. The Hrening Post of Saturday has a long wohice of the fitst voluine of Col. Kideaus Milttary History of Gen. Grant, with extracie copied from advanced sheets. The tone of the review is rather favorable, thongb it contains no feature that is particular uoticenbie. In view of 811 the circumstances connected with the book, and especially in view of the prop able political position of its subject, it will doubtless be largely read. Charles Lanman has in press a volume en- titled a Towrist’s Mircel being a remini- scence of travels in this country. IMPROVEMENT OF FREEDMEN'S SCHOOLS J. W.
