e wore cavalry boots. He complained of chilliness, and said they had taken away his Raglan, (I believe they were so called,) a light aquascutum or spring overcoat, sometimes called a water-proof. I had one exactly similar, except in color. I went to look for it, and either I, or some one at my instance, found it, and he wore it afterwards. His own was not restored. As I was looking for this coat, the firing still continuing, I met a mounted officer, who, if [ am not mistaken, was a Captain Hodson. Feeling that the cause was lost, and not wishing useless bloodshed, I said to him: Captain, your men are fighting each other over yonder. He answered very positively: You have an armed escort. I replied: You have our whole camp; I know your men are fighting each other. We have nobody on that side of the slough. He then rode off. Colonel Lubbock had a conversation nearly identical with Colonel Pritchard, who was not polite, I believe. You can learn from Colonel Lubbock about it.

ls of Ireland with a halter in one hand and a bag of guineas in the other, buying men's lives as drovers purchase cattle, and attended by a train of nine-times perjured sycophants, spies, and informers! Something, too, might have been said of Capt. Hodson's summary execution, with his own hand, of the two sons and the grandson of the King of Delhi — an act, the propriety and necessity of which we do not mean to question — but still an act of boldness and severity, in comparison with which anything done by Gen. Butler during his government of New Orleans, has been the milk of mercy itself! But if the perils of the Rebellion in India were such as to drive an excellent and amiable officer to the extreme of severity — if Capt. Hodson himself shot his prisoners, while it is n't pretended that Gen. Butler played Jack Ketch upon any occasion — why are we to be denounced for simply securing the safety of a city fairly captured by our forces? We are not fighting for entertainment. We are n

talogued under Norton's name in the Atlantic Index. To appreciate the great variety and thorough preliminary preparation of Norton's mind, a student must take one of the early volumes of the Atlantic Monthly and see how largely he was relied upon for literary notices. If we examine, for instance, the fifth volume (1860), we find in the first number a paper on Clough's Plutarch's Lives, comprising ten pages of small print in double columns. There then follow in the same volume papers on Hodson's Twelve years of a Soldier's life in India, on Friends in council, on Brooks's Sermons, on Trollope's West Indies and the Spanish main, on Captain John Brown, on Vernon's Dante, and one on Model Lodging-houses in Boston. When we remember that his Notes of travel and study in Italy was also published in Boston that same year, being reviewed by some one in a notice of two pages in this same volume of the Atlantic, we may well ask who ever did more of genuine literary work in the same amount

Interesting hints to our soldiers. --The following extracts, taken from "Hodson's Twelve Years of a Soldier's Life in India," give excellent hints to our volunteers in the field. On the eve of the most astounding events that will probably ever happen on this continent, our brave men cannot impress upon themselves too strongly the responsibility which rests upon them in the present struggle. The battle of Manassas Plains was won by the bravery and stern determination of each man to perform his duty truly and honestly, and this is what will achieve all our victories. Those who have read the work cannot but confess the rough experience and daring bravery of Lieut. (afterwards Major) Hodson has given him the right to express his sound opinions: "There is but one rule of action for a soldier in the field, as for a man — at all times to do that which is best for the public good, to make that your sole aim, resting assured that the result will in the end be best for individual i
