NEW BOOKS.
CAHEBON HALL : A Story of the Civil War. By M. A. C.
author of "The Little Episcopalian," "Bessie Melville,'
etc. Philadelphia : J. B. Lfppincott & Co., 18GT.
M. A. C., we learn, is Miss MAEY ANN CBUSE, of
Huntsville, Ala., and "Cameron Hall" is the first
of ber books we have seen; and although tho title
of the work-"A Story of the Civil Wax"-usually
prevents any further reading of a book on our
part, we in this Instance, by an effort, overcame
the repugnance, and faithfully and conscientiously
read the whole 548 pages of "Cameron Hall." Our
objection to novels founded on the .'acts connected
with the civil war, aie the same wo should have to
romances on any other cotemporary historical,
event. The scenes, events, and characters of the !
story are all too fresh in our memories. Every :
statement is instinctively measured by the truth of <
history; and not only this, but by our individual 3
view of Buch truth. There is an intuitive running j
criticism in the mind of the reader, fatal to all on- .
enjoyment of the story. No man is a hero to his I
valet de c?iambre. Familiarity must ever remain j
antagonistic to all attempts at romance. The
child's fancy delights in picturing a world of prin- <
OBS, palaces, fairies and genii. Wo are aware that j
thc daring and sacrilegious utilitarianism of the (
lay haa invaded this domain also; and JACOB S
ABBOTT haB written, and the HABPEBS have pub- j
lished, some six or Bevon dozen of Rollo Book?, T
Beechnut Stories, etc.,-the most dreary and unat- i
tractive children's books ever known; full of 1
preachments, ahort stories and long morals. We 1
think, however, we con Bafoly predict a short- ]
lived immortality for the whole tribe of them. <
In reading novels big folks aro children, and pro- j
Fer the great, the lofty, the unattainable, the vague ,
and mysterious, even if exaggerated, to a more J
common place narration of the incidents of every J
elsy life around them. Sir WALTEB SCOTT well un- j
ierstood this idiosyncracy and profited by it. (
"St. Ronans Well," perhaps the best of his co- ]
temporary novels, can only bear comparison with j
ais historical romances, because the hand of tho
jame transcendent genius traced the picture, i
DICKENS succeeds in treating such subjects bo- j
jauae of his humour, his knowledge of humai
maracters and unparalelled descriptive powers. <
FHACKEBAT delighted a select audience, "fit though ]
few," by bis trenchant s?tiro and inimitable j
sketches of society. But neither of these great i
masters, we think, would have ventured, so soon 1
ifter the ovont, on a description in narrative fie
ion of the scenes and incidents of a civil war, all ?
;ho occurrences connected with which perfectly j
amiliar to every one of his readers. It is too j
loon to treat the subject from an ideal point of <
riew, and realism, for the roaeons above given, is i
:atal to it as a work of art. '
There are great masters of painting in both j
schools; but to entitle a picture to admiration, i
true and lasting, it must show something more 1
than the bare realism of the Pre-Raphaclitos, .
which finds nothing bizarre in the cobblers judg- <
ment, whose acumen exhausted itself in the crit- :
?cal examination of the Papal ehoe. A tree, a
mountain, figures of animals, and the human face
divine, all are susceptible of a variety of treatment
in both styles. ROSA BONHEUE will paint you a ,
horse, or a dog, or tho highland heather, true to ,
nature and to lifo, while Sir EDWIN LANDSEEBB in- '.
terpretation of the same themes, equally true to ?
life, are yet highly idealized. But what is in itself ?
commonplace, cannot be rendered poetic or beau- .
tiful. A mathematically correct drawing of a
house, a wall, a locomotive or a sewing machine, aro
not without their merit, and may be isometrically
beautiful, but they are by common consent ban?
ished from the domain of the fine arts.
So is it-certainly should bo-in the field of
literature. The characters of a novel may bo very
true to nature, and yet bo intolerable. Is it not
enough that wo must endure stupidity in our daily
intercourse with men and women? Are we prepar?
ed to have all this ineptitude phonographed, and
then be compelled to read it ? Thc more faithfully
such characters are drawn-the more life-like the
conversation-the worse the book. No amount of
unexceptionable morality, virtuous example, and
poetic justice, can compensate for this, even
though it be all written in excellent English. But
if to these drawbacks is superadded, as is not
unfroquently the case, a total want of invention,
and the book is unredeemed by aught that could
relieve tho dull monotony of proverbial platitudes,
then wo have tho perfection of tho modern moral
and religious novel-"Tho Wide, Wide Worlds,"
"Quoechys," 4c.
To show how difficult a task it is at this time to
write either a fair history of the civil war, or a
novol bearing upon it, we will mention the case of
MAKION HABLAND, who recently made the essay in
her "Sherbrooke." Herself a Virginian born, but
a resident of New Jeraoy, she was condemned by
the Southern pres3 for viewing evory thing from a
Yankee stand point, and by the Northern papers
because of her partiality for "rebels."
We do not wish to be understood as applying
any of the foregoing remarks specially to "Came?
ron Hall." We have spoken of the characteristics
of the genus, and as belonging to that genus, the
book before us must be considered open to the
same objections. The onus probandi is with it;
and we are happy to say a deal of very good proof
has been submitted Bhowing cause why this pres?
ent hook should bc acquitted from tho severe
chargeB under which it haa been brought into
court. The language ie good, style himple and
pleasing, and there is an abundance of mystery.
We have two or three aecretB running all through
the story. The idea of the blind girl Agnoa and
her sayinga and doings is not altogether original;
rather a .favorite theme of late years witli lady
novelists. Uncle John ia a sort of Squire All
worthy, only found in romances. There is, how?
ever, too much talk. The convections are many,
very long, and often pointless. A deep religious
tono pervades the whole work; and although there
is a total absence of anything like wit or humor,
"Cameron Hall" is, nevertheless, a very interest?
ing story, and will be read with ploamrre as well as
benefit by the average class of novel readers.
ANDREW JOHNSON IS READY, FOB TRIAL.-Tho
Washington Republican, the special organ of Presi?
dent JOHNSON, in its iesue of Tuesday, says :
A member of the United States House of Repre?
sentativos, who, a few yeara since, was charged
with corruptly using hie office SB a member of thc
Committee on Territories, arose in his placo yes?
terday and preaented "articles of impeachment"
agruLSt Andrew Johnson, President of tho Uuitod
Statea, for corruptly using his office. It appeals
by our report that the Committee on the Judiciary
ia" "authorized" to investigate the Bubject ! Why
did not this Territorial Surveyor-Goncral Ashley,
who offered this bill of indictment against Mr.
Johnson, provide that the Committee should be
instructed, a term uaually employed by honest
men engaged in a work of Chnatian patriotism,
and not use tho weak, unmeaning word "author?
ized," which, to a Congres8ional Committee, ia
just what they may choose to interpret it ? Let us
nave no mockery I If Congress moans to enter
upon tho grave work of imp?aohra?nt, let the trial
b: ogre88 with som? degree of respectability and
dignity, and then the people will understand that
tbiir representatives are in earnest. If Congress
does not mean impeachment, but is engaged in a
work of buncombe, announce the fact, and no
longer paralyze the whole busineae of the country.
Andrew Johnson ie ready for trial.
The French exposition.
Lord DEBBY, in an after-dinner speech, published
in THE NEWS a few weeks ago alluding to the
Paris Exposition of 1867, jocularly remarked that
an invasion is on foot against the French Capital,
but contrary to tho usual custom, in this instance
tho invaded will levy on tho invaders for the costs of
tho oxpodition. La ralrle, a journal published in
Paris, takes umbrage at this jeu (Fesprit, and says
that Lord DEBBY, in saying this, doubtless had in
his mind the unchristian oxactions made by the
people of Loudon during the great Exhibition of
1851. It then goes on to say, at some length and
with considerable apparent roBentment, that the
Parisians would be actuated by a different Bpirit,
and that no such forced contributions are to bo
apprehended on tho part of the foreign visitors.
We suspect, however, that the remarks of La
Pairie are intended mora for the benefit of the
Parisians than as a rebuke to Lord DEBBY. Under
the guise of a protest, it locturoa them, showing
svhafc is expected of them, and what is to their true
interest.
Prussion Prize Money.
WILLIAM, by the grace of God, King of Prussia,
on the 16th of November last, decreed that, with
the consont of the two Chambers of the Diet, the
3um of one million and a half of thalers, to be de
Frayed from the contributions from the several
conquerod territories, shall bo donated to the
chiefs of tho Prussian army, who have contributed
to any remarkable degree to tho brilliant reaults
of the lato war. Tho Nord Deutsclie Zeitung saya
that public opinion generally approved of this
sdict. The French preas is very severe on this
modem money reward for valor, and denounces it
EIS a direct incitement to plunder. They say that
when NAPOLEON parcelled out the kingdoms of
Europe among his generals and the members of
ais family, it proved more a Bource of weakness
khan of atrength to him.
Passage of the District Suffrage Bill over
the veto-Scene In thc Senate-Ashley's
Impeachment Resolution.
We make the following extracts from the Bal?
timore Sun's Washington correspondence of Mon?
thly :
The Senate galleries were not more than half
filled at thc opening of tho session to-day, not?
withstanding it was well known that tho President
tvould send in to that body his veto of the negro
auftrage bill for the District of Columbia. The
President's son and private secretary, Colonel
Robert Johnson, appeared a few minutes before
ono o'clock and announced the document. The
morning hour exoiring almost immediately there?
after, Vice-PreBi?ont Foster ordored the message
to bo read, without waiting for any motion on the
mbject. It was thon road by the Secretary of the
Senate, Colonel John W. Forney, amid perfect
silenco, the Senators having boen simultaneously
supplied with printed copies.
The reading occupied thirty-five minutes, when
lebate was opened by Mr. Morrill, as Chairman of
the District Committee and father of the BUL
3is remarks were brief, consisting in mere denials
of thc positions assumed by the President. In a
mort time tho gaUeries were largely reinforced,
md much interest waa manifested in the debate,
[t was noticeable that not over half a dozen blacks
?vere prosent. Mr. Sherman foUowed Mr. Morriu,
ind announced his readiness to take up tue gaunt
et thrown down by tho Democratic party in Ohio,
md to dy the banner of uni YOI sal suffrage.
The debate which followed was animated by
'[esars. Cowan and Wilhams, the latter in favor of
mfranchising tho negroes, though in the Conven
:ion to form a State Constitution for Oregon he
roted against colored suffrage, when there were
orobably not a dozen negroes in the Territory,
ifr. Sainsbury frequently pressed Mr. Williams
vi th pointed questions until he declined to anBwer.
Vir. Johnson, of Maryland, also spoke at some
ength against the measure, and the debate was
joncluded by Mr. DooUttle, when the question was
out, twenty-nine votes being recorded in tho affirm
itivo and ten in the negative, thirteen Senators
oeing absent.
Ihe chair announced the passage of the bUl
unid profound silence, when tho crowded galleries
rapidly dispersed without the slighest manifesta?
tion o? feeling.
The impeachment resolution of Mr. Ashley, if
livestod of the importance that has been given it
jv telegrams sent off by excited correspondents
tvhilBt the matter was under consideration in the
Mouso to-day, does not amount co anything more
than a simple resolution authorizing, not directing,
che Judiciary Commiteo to investigate tho general
marges made by Mr. Ashley, and the vote, when
lndorstood, does not indicate that the House wUI
sustain the charges. Many of those who voted for
;ho r?solution did so to get it out of the way or
Uto the hands of tho committee, where it is be?
loved the thing will die out for want of proof to
sustain the charges of commission of hi?h crimeB
md misdemeanors, as those terms oro defined by
aw and understood by iurists.
No one has yet named a single caso in which the
proofs are of the character to sustain the legal.in?
terpretation of the terms above mentioned. The
luthor of the resolution is not regarded as a law?
ler, and I beUcve does not profesa to be one, and
Iiis casea suggested to sustain the charges merely
embraces acta of a political or partisan character,
not criminal in tho legal sense.

A CHARTER VETOED.-The Macon Telegraph
learns privately that Governor Jenkins has vetoed
tho bul passed near tho close of tho session to
charter tho Noa' Orleans. Mobile and Chattanooga
Railroad. The Telegraph learns the ground of ob?
jection to be, "that it confers an extent of power
and privilego dangerous to railroad interests gene?
rally, and especially to the Western and Atlantic
Railroad-in fact, that it would be equivalent to
admitting the now company as partners with the
State in a considerable portion of that important
work." Wo have not noticed allusion to the sub?
ject in any paper but our Macon contemporary.

and freedmen hired without such contracts aro at
liberty to loave their employers at any time.
Should any difficulty arise about compensation,
whilo hired without a contract, employers wiU be
required to pay tho highest wages that*aro paid in
their viciuago. Tho Enquirer protests against tho
order as an unauthorized assumption of power
since civil law is roatorod.

GRANT ArrnovES THE VETO.-A Washington let?
ter says: "The President's message vetoing the
District Suffrage Bill was read in Cabinet session
on tho afternoon of that day. I now leam that
General Grant was, by invitation, prosont during
tho reading of the document, and that he fuUy and
unequivocally approved the message, as also the
members of the Cabinet, except Mr. Stanton, who
read a short opinion, taking tho ground that the
Bill was constitutional, and advising the President
to approve it."
MIORATION op AITIIOANS.-This seems to have
increased within tho past week. Every -Jay wit?
nesses a group of one hundred or more asaembled
at thc car-shed awitiny shipment to the WeBt.
Their condition, in many instances, ie pitiable.
Seduced from comfortable homes by fair promises,
we fear that tho Elysium thoy hope to reach will
vanish as the mirage*does before the eager gaze of
the desert traveller. But "thou art freedom's now
aud fame's," swarthy mon of Ham-continue thy
peregrinations westward.
THE following is given as tho statistics of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in this country :
Whole number of parishes. 2306 ; number of clergy,
2530 ; total membership, 161,225 ; contributions for
the past year, $3,951,667.
Thc Historical Seven.
? Nor thorn paper, of a late date, reminds ns of
tho curious fact, that almost every decade in tho
history of this country, ending with the figure
soven, has marked tho beginning of a financial
crash or severe dopresaion. It says:
Historic fatalism, if not actual signs of the
times, incline many to the belief that 1867 is to be
added to the periods in our past history, made
memorable by financial troubles. With 1797 came
the crash that wiped out the Continental
currency, and in 1807 our troubles wit'i France
and prospective war with England, threw
the business of the country into confusion,
while in 1817 wo got the legacy of the war of
1812-14 with England, which was a tremendous
financial revulsion. That of 1827 was less se?
vere, but ten years later, it came in good
earnest-the smash of all previous smashes, in
which tho whole banking system and business of
the country went down, not to rise for nearly five
years. If for nothing else, Gen. Jackson and his
successor will ho remembered for their reckless?
noss in smashing up the currency to gratify per?
sonal and political spite. King Hudson reigned
over tho English railroad speculations of 1847, and
famine stalked over Europe, and especially in Ire?
land, spreading suffering and causing wide-sproad
failures. A purely commercial snap emphasized
1857, caused by inflation and overtrading.
But the crash of 1867, if ono is inevitable, which
we neither proclaim nor admit, will bo " Pelion
upon Ossa," indeed. The chasm is too deep and
dark to think of, much less to look into. Let us
hope the rather, that by rigid economy among con?
sumers, the present heavy balance against us on
the year's foreign trade mat bc made up, that
favoring skies will bring ns abundant crops, and
the hands of producers be multiplied rapidly all
over the land, so that tho present heavy burden of
taxation can be borne ; that Congross will be suc?
cessful in so adjusting the currency and imposts,
that the year 1867 may be securely tided over, and
our domestic comfort and foreign obligations be
securely and honorably provided for.
HOBSE THIEF AEBEBTED.-A young man, who
calls himself L. Spell, of Sampson County, N, C.,
was arrested in this city last night on a charge of.
stealing a horso from a Mr. Carter, of this county,
and was committed to await his trial at the next
term of our County Court. The young man came
to the Mansion Hotel, in this place, on the night of
the 31st of December, and registered his name aa
above. On the first day of January, under the
name of James Lewis, he hired himself os a la?
borer to Mr. Carter, wno resides some milos west
of this place, and remained with him until
Sunday night last, when he decamped with
Mr. Carter's best horse, bridle, saddle and
overcoat. Mr. Carter came immediately to
thia place early yesterday morning, and
had some hand bibs atnie off, announcing the
fact, describing the thief, &c., which were pouted
in different parts of tho town. On last night tho
young man came to the Mansion House again,
having come down from Statesville on tho Western
train, and registered himself as before, "L. Spoil,
Sampson Co., N. C." He waa at once recognized
by Borne one as the party described in the hand
bille, and waa arreated accordingly. After his ar?
rest he made hia escape from the hands of his cus?
todians, but was soon recaptured. After bia com?
mittal we learn that ho mano a full confession con?
firming the above statement of facts. He rode
the horse to Statesville, sold him there, changed
his dress, and came to this city on the Western
train and was arrested.-Salisbury Old North Slate.
A GOOD JOKE ON BENNETT.-The New York cor?
respondent of the Louisville Courter, alluding to
the reoent yacht race, says:
I may as well tell you a little incident. It waa
naturally supposed, as young Bennett was one of
the moat interested parties in it, the New York
Herald.vjuld be the first to receive news of the
arrival of the Henrietta, provided she reached
Cowes first. Well, she did, but the first the Herald
knew of it waa a dispatch Bent to it by the cour?
tesy of Mr. Craig, of the United States and Euro?
pean Asaociation, which beat the broken down
Associated Presa, aa it dooa every day, both in the
quantity and quality of its newB and theprcmpt
nesa with which it is transmitted. The Hera lu is
a fast newspaper, and Mr. Bennett too sagacious
to remain long with the "monopoly concern."

valley of Saratoga. Ita virtues are suth as have secured
it the high encomiums of all who have used it, possess?
ing, as it does, in an eminent degree, cathartic, diuretic,

From SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON, M. D., ProfoHsor
Practice of Physic, Jefferson Medical College, Phila?
delphia, formerly of Charloston, 8. C. :
PHILADELPHIA, November 15,1865.
1 have been for a year or more post in the habit of
taking the water of the "Excelsior" Spring of Saratoga.
Accustomed during thc great, portion of my invalid life
to usc the different waters of the several fountains which
boll up along that remarkable valley, dependent, indeed,
upon them lor much of the comfort I enjoy, I am satis?
fied that the Excelsior Water is as well adapted as any
other among them, if not moro ao, to the purposes for
which they are generally employed. It is very agreeable,
strongly impregnated with the carbonic acid, lively and
sparkling. * * * I can heartily and conscientiously
recommend it to all who need a gentle cathartic and
diuretic. SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON, M. D.
The Water is put up in Pint and Quart bottles, and
packed in good order for shipping. Pinta in boxes of
four dozen each, and Quarts in boxes of two dozen each.
