BY TIHE PUBLIISHIER, TO HON. GEORGE P. SANGER, WHO FOR SO MIANY YEARS CONDUCTED THE AMERICAN ALMANAC, A WORK THAT WILL REMAIN A MONUMENT OF IIIS RARE ABILITY AND UNTIRING INDUSTRY. PREFACE. THE primary object of the publisher of the National Almanac has been to make it, as far as possible, a thoroughly accurate, reliable, and exhaustive authority upon the subjects of which it treats. To this end, every effort has been used, and no expense has been spared. Some practical difficulties have arisen, necessarily incident to the preparation of this, the initial volume of the proposed series; but it is confidently expected that they will be wholly overcome in the succeeding volume for 1864. The arrangements for future publication are believed to be such as will satisfy, in all respects, the wants of the public. No hesitation, however, is felt in referring to the following pages as an earnest of what may be accomplished hereafter; for they contain twice the quantity of matter that has been furnished by any similar work ever published in this country. In the collection and preparation of this matter, the aim has been to take nothing at secondhand, but to resort, whenever it was practicable so to do, to the original sources of knowledge. Hence the statistics and statements connected with the civil, military, and naval service of the country have, to a very great extent, been submitted to the examination of official personages for revision and correction, so that they may be considered as embodying not only the latest information, but as communicating it in a form sanctioned by the proper authority. In addition to the precaution taken by the publisher to secure reliability in this respect, he has also endeavored in like manner to bring the facts down to the date of going to press. The statistics of preceding almanacs have generally been from six to twelve months behindhand, chiefly because their editors have been content to await the tardy publication by Congress of official documents and reports; whereas in the present case, upon application to various departments of the Government, we have been kindly enabled to avail ourselves of the manuscript sources of information. The valuable results of the last census (the eighth) have been classified and incorporated, so as fully to exhibit the absolute and relative state of the 5 6 PREFACE. government and people and their progress during the last decade. We have also introduced throughout the work a larger variety of topics, and a far greater copiousness of treatment, than will be found in any publication of this class which has preceded the present. Indeed, the purpose has been to exhibit, for immediate use and future reference, a complete representation of the actual condition of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and the respective STATES, in their manifold interests, whether political, social, industrial, agricultural, commercial, financial, ecclesiastical, educational, or literary. We hope to present, for each year, in the National Almanac a faithful summary and analysis of the elements of our national life, and thus to make up a record which will possess the value, and merit the permanence, as it will assuredly contain the materials, of history. On all topics connected with the present state of hostilities, special pains have been taken to insure fulness and reliability. Hence we have prepared a minute and accurate narrative of facts and events; and, in order to render the same complete, it has been carried back to the origin of the struggle, so that there may be found in this and the succeeding numbers of the National Almanac a detailed and unbroken diary of the occurrences of the war from its outbreak, and an obituary record of the officers who have fallen in the contest. For the carefully prepared sketch of each of the coins of the United States we are indebted to the forthcoming new edition of Bouvier's Law Dictionary. The article was prepared for that work by the Hon. J. Ross Snowden, whose former official connection with the National Mint gives assurance of its entire accuracy. Our thanks are also due to A. Dallas Bache, LL.D., Joseph Henry, LL.D., Professor Gillespie, Professor Coppee, Hon. James Pollock, LL.D., Pliny Earle, M.D., W. V. McKean, Esq., the heads of the Departments at Washington, the Governors and Secretaries of the various States, and to other contributors and correspondents, who have kindly furnished aid and extended facilities to us in the preparation of the work. We regret that most of the valuable material transmitted by various officers of the army and navy reached us at a period too late for use in this volume. It is, however, duly appreciated, and will be embodied in our next. year's issue. The publisher will, at all times, be happy to receive contributions and suggestions from all who may feel an interest in the undertaking. G. W. C. PHILADELPHIA, January 1, 1863.

A Partial Eclipse of the Sun, May 17, visible in Europe. the northern coast of Asia, and the north. western part of North America. This eclipse is not visible in any of the United States except Minne. * Prepared for the National Almanac by George Searle, Professor Naval Academy, Newport, R. I. t The times given for the eclipses are the local times of the places referred to, unless otherwise stated. 9 10 THE NATIONAL ALMANAC. [1863. sota, California, and Oregon. The line north of which it is visible connects the western extremity of Lake Superior with Los Angeles, on the California coast. This eclipse Begins on the Earth generally, May 17, 5h. 4m. A.M., in longitude 690 4' W. of Washington, and latitude 320 57' N. E:nds on the Earth generally, May 17, 7h. 25m. P.M., in longitude 80~ 0' E. of Washington, and latitude 47~ 13' N. The greatest obscuration is about 7 digits, and takes place May 18, lh. 27m. A.M., in longitude 1560 18' W. of Washington, and latitude 690 18' N. II. A Total Eclipse of the Moon, June 1, partially visible in the Atlantic States. The times of this eclipse are as follows: — iH. M. First contact with the Penumbra..........................

But, as the longitudes in- common use are given in degrees and minutes, we must turn them into time first,-remembering that each degree of longitude is equal to four minutes of time, and each minute. of longitude equal to four seconds of time. III. An Annular Eclipse of the Sun, November 11, visible in the Antarctic Continent as annular, and in the southern extremity of Africa, and the southern coast of Australia, as a partial eclipse. This eclipse Begins on the Earth generally, November 11, 5h. 14m. A.M., in longitude 670 58' E. of Washington, and latitude 230 0' S. Ends on the Earth generally, November 11, 6h. 50m. P.M., in longitude 1570 13' W. of Washington, and latitude 42~ 30' S. Central eclipse at noon, in longitude 126~ 32' E. of Washington, and latitude 800 33' S. IV. A Partial Eclipse of the Moon, November 25, visible throughout the United States. The times of-this eclipse are as fpllows:H. M. First contact with the Penumbra.................

This eclipse will be nearly total, only one-seventieth of the Moon's disc remaining unobscured. Morning and Evening Stars, Venus will be evening star till September 25, then morning star for the rest of the year. Mars will be evening star till September 28, then morning star for the rest of the year. Jupiter will be morning star till April 12, then evening star till October 31, then morning star the rest of the year. Saturn will be morning star till March 23, then evening star till October 2, then morning star the rest of the year. Visibility of Mercury, This planet will be seen most easily for a few days about May 18, in the evening, when it sets about ih. 58m. after the sun. On January 26, the interval between its setting and that of the sun reaches a maximum of about lh. 34m., and on September 5 of about Oh. 52m. On February 28, the interval between its rising and that of the sun reaches a maximum of about lh. 12m., and on October 27 of about l.h 36m. 1863.] PROGRESS OF ASTRONOMY DURING 1862. 11 Duration of Twilight.

The past year has made the following additions to the already very numerous group of minor planets:Name of Planet. By whom, where, and when discovered. Feronia.................................. Safford, at Cambridge, Jan. 29. Clytia.....................................Tuttle, at Cambridge, April 7. The first of these was first seen by Dr. C. H. F. Peters, at Clinton, New York, May 29,1861, but was supposed by him to be Mlaia (66), which he had been observing a few days before. It was found to be new by Mr. Safford's calculations, made subsequently. Its distance from the sun is the least of any of the group,-being only about 204 millions of miles. Two others were also found, on the nights of August 30 and 31, by Tempel, at Marseilles, and Luther, at Bilk. These new discoveries make the whole number of asteroids now known seventy-five, as follows:1. Ceres. 16. Psyche. 31. Euphrosyne. 46. Hestia. 61. Echo. 2. Pallas. 17. Thetis. 32. Pomona. 47.

Urania. 45. Eugenia. - 60. Dala. 75. Two comets have also been found. I. Found by Schmidt, at Athens, Greece, July 2. This comet was remarkable for its near approach to the earth, and its very rapid motion, as seen from it. On July 4 it was distant only 9,300,000 miles, and moved at the extremely rapid rate of about 240 a day. It passed the perihelion on the 22d of June, at a distance of about 93,000,000 miles from the sun, or ten times its distance from the earth. II. Found by Tuttle, at Cambridge, July 18. This comet became easily visible to the naked eye in 12 THE NATIONAL ALMANAC. [1863. the latter part of August, its distance from us on the 30th being about 32,000,000 miles. Its tail was 100 or 150 in length. It passed its perihelion on the 23d of August, at a distance almost exactly the same as that of the first comet. It seems not impossible that this comet is identical with the great comet of 1811, as suggested by Professor Secchi, of Rome; as the elements of its orbit agree tolerably well with those of that interesting body, whose brilliancy was scarcely surpassed even by our magnificent visitors of 1858 and 1861,which last, by the way, remained visible in large telescopes as late as June of the past year. It is not improbable that a comet should lose in brilliancy at its successive returns,-as has been to a marked degree the case with the first periodic comet ever discovered,-that of IIalley,-which at its earlier apparitions, in 1378, 1456, and 1531, presented a magnificent appearance, but at its last return, in 1835, was hardly more conspicuous than the comet of this year. Besides these new-comers, the regular periodical return of Encke's comet took place in the beginning of the year. This comet is interesting not only as having the shortest period of any known (completing its circuit as it does in the space of three years and four months), but also as indicating by its movements the existence of a resisting medium, of a very subtle character, in space. It also shows well the complete knowledge of the movements of these erratic bodies which is given us by the theory of gravitation; for at the first observation by Dr. Winnecke, of Pulkowa, of this comet, he found it within about a minute and a half of the place predicted by Professor Encke, —a quantity equal to about one-twentieth of the apparent diameter of the sun,-and this when it had not been visible for three years. The number of stars known to be variable in brightness has also been increased this year, and one such star has been found among those visible to the naked eye. The cause of this phenomenonwhich has been observed in seventy or eighty stars, most of which are telescopic-has not yet been ascertained. Some of them vary slowly and regularly, occupying many days in their periodic changes; while others pass through the most surprising variations in a few days, or even hours. In one case, the brightness of the star is increased some two-hundredfold for a few days; after which it subsides to its former condition, in which it is scarcely discernible with the most powerful telescope. And, in another, the star passes, in a period of about 330 days, from a, brilliancy which makes it conspicuously visible to the naked eye, to one 5000 times less, and returns to its original state. In others, the variation takes place at perfectly regular intervals of time, even to the minute; in some cases the color varies as well as the brightness: in short, there are all varieties. Besides these variable stars, we have accounts from Professor D'Arrest, of Copenhagen, and others, of the discovery of several variable nebule. This phenomenon seems even more unaccountable than that of the variable stars; as nebulee, if consisting, as has been proved in very many cases, of immense numbers of stars clustered together at an inconceivable distance from us, would require for their perceptible variation the variation of not merely seventy or eighty, but of thousands-even of millionsof their components. A very interesting discovery was made, on the evening of January 31, by Mr. Alvan Clark, of Cambridge, with his great refractor. This magnificent instrument, being directed, on the first favorable evening after its completion, to the star Sirius, showed plainly what had before been suspected to exist,-viz. a faint companion to this, the brightest of all the fixed stars. The reason for the suspicion of the existence of this companion was, an apparent circular motion which had been for some time observed in the large star, similar to what is noticed in each of the components of double stars, but which could not be easily accounted for in a star apparently single. This companion, however, both in its direction and distance from Sirius, probably will explain the movement of the latter, and is also interesting as the first fruit of the largest refracting telescope in the world. It would appear from this discovery that the size of the fixed stars is not necessarily at all in proportion to their light; as this small star, whose light is hardly one ten-thousandth part that of Sirius, would seem to be large enough to perceptibly affect its movements. Another important event of the year is the publication of another part of the C" Durchmusterung" of Professor Argelander, Director of the Observatory at Bonn. The completion of this gigantic work involves the observing and mapping of all the stars of the northern heavens, as far as the 92 magnitude, which embraces stars twenty times as faint as'any visible to the naked eye. In the present portion of the worlk we have the places of 105,075 stars, charted with so great accuracy that a good instrument and careful observing would be necessary to detect any error in the positions given. Mr. Pogson, Director of the Observatory at Madras, intends, it is understood, to complete this work by charting the southern hcavens,-thus making, as it would seem, almost all that could be desired in the way of celestial maps. 1863.] TABLE OF TIDES. 13 TABLE showing the Rise and Fall of the Tide, in Feet, at various Sea-Ports of the United States.

The sun's and moon's rising and. setting are calculated for four points, —viz. Boston, a point midway between New York and Philadelphia, a point midway between Baltimore and Washington, and San Francisco. They will serve, however, for other points not differing much in latitude,-though for the moon's rising and setting we should add as we go west, and subtract as we go east, about one minute and a half for every ten degrees of longitude. The time of high water is only given for one of the two daily tides; the other will be half-way between the two given in the table, on each side of it. Thus, we have given the morning high tide at New York, March 7, 9h. 29m.; the evening tide occurs half-way between 9h. 29m. and 10h. 9m., or at 9h. 49m. The letters m. and e. in the tables for the rising and setting of the planets, and for the eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter, signify morning and evening. The former tables are calculated for New YorkPhiladelphia, or a latitude of 400 20', and will be only approximately true elsewhere. The times of the eclipses of Jupiter's satellites are given for WVashington. The columns for sun's and moon's southing are also given for Washington: the former is sufficiently acctunate for any place in the United States; but to the latter we should add as we go west, and subtract as we go east, about one minute and a half for every ten degrees of longitude, as for the rising and setting, above.

It would be impossible to give all the changes and modifications of army-pay in this place. There is scarcely a year since the adoption of the Constitution in which.ome change has not been made. A few statistics, however, will enable us to link the different periodls together. By the Act of Congress of April 30, 1790, the following were the amounts received by officers:-a lieutenant-colonel commanding, $60 per month, with 6 rations and $12 for forage; a major, $40, with 4 rations and $10 for forage; a captain, $30, with 3 rations; a lieutenant, $22, with 2 rations; a sergeant, $5; a corporal, $-4, and a private, $3; non-commissioned officers and privates drawing one ration from the commisnary. In 1792, slight changes were made; the pay of a major-general was fixed at $166 per month, and that of a brigadier, at $104. The pay was slightly increased in 1808. In 1819, it was enacted that men on fatigue duty (fortifications, surveys, cutting roads, &c.) for not less than ten days should receive fifteen cents a day additional, and an extra gill of spirits. In 1838, it was enacted that all officers should receive an additional ration for every five years of service; and the pay of the privates was fixed at $8 a month. In 1857, the pay of every commissioned officer, including military storekeeper, was increased by $20 a month. The changes since will be found in the foregoing tables. 1868.] NAVY DEPARTMENT. 105 III, NAVY DEPARTMENT, (Corrected at the Navy Department, December 1, 1862.) ORGANIZATION OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.

CHANGES IN THE RELATIVE POSITION OF THE STATES, FROIM 1790 TO 1860. THE Diagram on the opposite page represents the changes as to population in the relative ranks of our individual States during the last seventy years. We are indebted for it to the courtesy of WiM. MITCHELL GILLESPIE, LL.D., Professor of Civil Engineering in Union College, New York.* A few moments' study will make the facts it presents stand out prominently before the eye. In the left-hand column the States are arranged in the order of their relative population in 1790,-Virginia being first, Pennsylvania second, and so on. In the last column they are arranged in their order of population as given by the last census, that of 1860; New York being first, Pennsylvania second, and so on. Between these columns the diagram gives the place of each State at each decennial census. It is divided, from left to right, into seven spaces, each representing a period of ten years. The heavy zigzag lines extending across this space, and irregularly ascending and descending, belong, each of them, to some one State, and connect her successive places —higher or lower or at the same level-as each period of ten years expires. VIRGINIA, for instance, which stood first in 1790, and retained that position for twenty years, sunk a step for each of the next three decennial periods, being passed successively by New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and has been passed in the last ten years by Illinois, so that she is thus reduced to the fifth place. PENNSYLVANIA, starting second, became third by being passed by New York, but recovered her rank by passing Virginia, and comes out second, as she had started. NORTIH CAROLINA, beginning third, has sunk to be twelfth. MASSACHUSETTS, beginning fourth, and having various changes, passing and being passed, is now seventh. NEW YORIK, beginning fifth, rose steadily from census to census, till, in 1820, she became first, and has ever since remained "The Empire State." SOUTH CAROLINA began seventh, and became sixth in the first ten years by passing Maryland, but since then has been constantly sinking, till, in 1860, she had gone down to the eighteenth place. Two classes of States deserve particular notice. The new States of the Northwest show the most striking advances. Thus, OIIIo, commencing her career in 1800 as eighteenth, in ten years had jumped over five States,-over eight more in the next ten years, thus becoming fifth,-and now stands third. INDIANA and ILLINOIS have had a similar career. WISCONSIN shoots up most startlingly, as her steeply-uprising line on the diagram indicates. So, too, with MINNESOTA. The other class of States referred to comprises the smaller older ones, such as those of New England. They have sunk in relative rank, although actually increasing in absolute population, being passed in the race by the young giants of the West, —their own children, indeed, to a great degree, whom they have sent out from their bosoms, and whose present position is as just a source of pride to the old States of the East as to the new States of the West. * Tihis Diagram was first given to the public in the "New York Daily Times," but its author has extended and corrected it for our volume. The second Diagram is now published for the first time. 1863.] CHANGES IN THE RELATIVE POSITION-OF THE STATES. 303 CHANGES IN THE RELATIVE POSITION OF THE STATES, FROM 1790 TO 1860. 0o 00 0 0 G 0 Q) O 00 0 Virginia,, 1,- *F- I- -"-+e~sr__ < - 1.

THE Diagram on the opposite page (for which also we are indebted to Professor Gillespie) presents the absolute growth of the States, as did the former one their relative progress. The seven spaces from left to right represent, as before, periods of ten years; and the distances up and down the page represent the population at each date, to a scale of 800,000 persons for each inch of height. To find the population of any State at any date, follow down a vertical line from the date at top of page till you meet the sloping line of the State whose name is at each end of it, and in complicated places at several points in it; then pass across the page horizontally to the left-hand side, where will be found the desired population. Where the lines of any two States cross, then, at the corresponding time given at the top of the page, the populations are equal, but one State is passing the other. The relative rate of increase is an interesting point in this diagram. The steeper the slope of the line, the more rapid is the growth; and vice verse. When the line is straight, as (nearly) for New York from 1840 to 1860, and for Pennsylvania for the same dates, it shows that the rate of increase has been uniform. When the line has been sloping upwards on a straight line, and then begins to turn upwards still more, as in most of the State lines, it shows that the rate of increase is itself increasing; that is, that if the population had increased onethird in the preceding ten years, it had increased more than that in the following ten years. When the line had been sloping upward with any inclination, and that inclination is lessened, as for Virginia between 1830 and 1840, it shows that the rate of increase is decreasing. Few such cases occur on our diagram. Generally, a turning of the line upwards, whatever its previous direction, shows an increase of the rate of increase, and a turning downwards shows the reverse. We are now prepared to inspect the diagram. We see that New York and Pennsylvania have had a nearly equal rate of growth for the last twenty years. Illinois has rapidly increased her rate, as is shown by the upward turning of her line. Virginia has been very variable. Massachusetts and North Carolina were remarkably uniform for the first forty years, after which the former shot up above the latter. Kentucky and Tennessee, with two or three other States, have varied singularly, as the close and often-crossing lines indicate. Many more such comparisons might be made. To avoid confusion some of the states are omitted. 1863.] TIE GROWTH OF THE STATES. 305 THE GROWTH OF THE STATES. Showing their absolute population at each census. Ca O - C0 C ( 01 e New York.

The two curved lines under this show the progress of the States as collected into two groups of.NoIRT and SOUTH. The former comprises the old North and the Northwest, and the latter the old South and the Southwest. They start together at almost exactly the same point, but the more rapid increase of the North causes its line of population to ascend more and more above that of the South. The increase of the slave population is shown by the lower line to be much less than that of the whole population, or even than that of the whole South. A careful study of these diagrams will amply repay any one for mastering this striking manner of presenting to the eye at a single glance relations and variations which the longest study of mere numerical tables could with difficuity suggest. 1863.] THE CENSUS OF 1860. 307 EIGHTH OENSU 0OF THE UNITED STATES, 1860. [Corrected at the Census Bureau, Washington, December 1, 1862.] IN the following tables and statements we present the statistics of population, of property, and of the products of industry, of the United States,in 1860, as ascertained by the Eighth Census, taken in that year, commencing on the first day of June; and also other statistics from the same census, exhibiting the growth, progress, and resources of our country, in agriculture, manufactures, comumerce, mines, education, in, all the pursuits of industry, and, briefly, in all that adds to the material wealth and civilization of a people. The census is taken in the United States in obedience to the Constitution, which comnmands that an actual enumeration or census shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as Congress shall by law direct. Under our system of government, the census is of more importance in the United States than it is in most other countries, because representation in Congress and direct taxes are apportioned according to numbes rs in the States. In pursuance of the command in the Constitution, the census has been talken eight times, namely, in 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 18407 1850, and 1860.

R-ULrzoAAs.-The railroads in the State, which had been fostered by liberal grants of land and farn-mortaes, and were many of them in the hands of speculators who cared only for their own interest and ensolunment, were mostly brought to bankruptcy by the financial revulsions of 57-58 and 1860-61, and many of themn passed into the hands of the bondholders or receivers. Under their new oraization theyare generally progressing towards completion, and many of them show signs of returning prosperity. None of them have yet, we believe, declared a dividend; but several of the more important routes will soon be in a position to do so. The whole number of miles of railroad completed and in operation in the State is 1,157.15 miles-an increase of nearly 300 miles within the past y The followint table exhibits the condition of the roads about January 1, 1862.

By means of these appropriations the tuition for those intending to become teachers is either rendered entirely free or reduced to a nominal sum. In Iowa and several of the other Western States, the State universities have a normal class, who are admitted, to the extent of two or four from a county, without charge for tuition. In most of the large cities there are socalled normal schools, which give instruction on Saturdays or evenings to the younger teachers in the primary schools, to qualify them for promotion. t Neither of these schools are State institutions. The MeNeely School was partially founded and endowed by Mr. Cyrus McNeely, and both are sustained by the Ohio State Teachers' Association and their tuition-fees. 1863.] RELIGIOUS STATISTICS OF THE WORLD. 657 RELIGIOUS STATISTICS OF THE WORLD, (Prepared by Professor A.

Thus, there are in Asiatic Turkey 25,000 United Greeks, 75,000 United Armenians, 20,000 United Syrians, 140,000 Maronites; and in Syria 150,000 Syrian Christians (Christians of St. Thomas), of whom 96,000 (the "United Syrians"), with 97 churches, still follow the old rito of their Church, while the others have entirely identified themselves with the Latin rite. t The Protestant population of Asia is made up of the Lutherans (mostly Germans) in Siberia, the Protestant Europeans and Americans living in China, India the Archipelago, and other parts of Asia, and the missionary congregations of converts. The latter class are most numerous in East and Farther India. T Other Christian Defiominations.-The Christians of Asiatic Turkey who are not Protestants or Roman Catholics belong to the Greek or Armenian Churches. These two Churches are the most numerous Christian bodies also in Asiatic Turkey, which contains, moreover, adherents of several other Oriental Churches, as Nestorians, Jacobites, &c., the aggregate number of whom may amount to about 200,000. China contains, besides Protestants and Roman Catholics, a few Greek congregations, for the most part descendants of Russian captives. Also in Tartary the Greek Church has already gained root, in consequence of the progress of the Russians. The Christian population of India comprises 70,000 Syrians, 200,000 Jacobites in Malabar and Travancore, several thousand Armenians, and a few Abyssinians. The Christians of Persia are mostly Armenians and Nestorians. The statements about their number greatly differ. That of the Armenians is estimated from 30,000 to 200,000; that of tho Nestorians, from 25,000 to 100,000. 1863.] RELIGIOUS STATISTICS OF THE WORLD. 659 V. ECCLESIASTICAL STATISTICS OF AFRICA.

LOSSING'S PICtTORIAL ISTORY OF THE GREAT REBELLION. "The very thing required by the popular taste of the present day,-adding to the advantage of a clear historical narrative, all the varied illustrations of which the subject is capable." From the beginning of the Rebellion, iMrt. Lossing has carefully treasured up every thing pertaining to it —DOCUMENTARY, PICTORIAL, and NARRATIVE —with the intention of preparing, as soon as practicable, an elaborate illustrated record of the events-IIISTORIIC AL, BIOGRAPHICAL, MILITARY, NAVAL, TOPOGRAPHICAL, POLITICAL, and SOCIAL. His intention is to treat the subject with strict impartiality, using only such mlaterials as, in his judgment, may not ble questioned as to truthfulaess or propriety. Ile proposes to make it a book of facts rather than of opinionzs; and will endeavor to give such faithful illustrations of men and things, connected with this important episode in the history of the United States, as shall recommend it as a standard work on its great subject for all future time. To do this, he will go to every place of interest not already visited by him, make sketches, confer with civil and military officers and people, note ficts, and avail himself of thle firuits of tile pens and pencils of others, so far as lie may be permitted. The general plan of hIis work will be like that of his PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OF THE REVOLUTION, so well iknolwn and highly appreciated in every part of the country; and, like it, his SUPERB IISTORY OF THE GREAT REBELLION will be made immediately available for consultation by means of a copious analytical index. The tul-dersigned takes pleasure in announcing that lie llas made arrangements for publishing Mr. Lossing's great worlk, in an elegant style of typography, printed on fine white paper. It will be issued in about THIRTY PARTS, of thirty-two pages each, at Twenty-Five Cents aPart, miaking, when complete, a superb volume of about onethfousand pages. It will be elegantly illustrated by several hundred Wood Engravings, in the highest style of the art, by Lossing & Barritt. In addition to the Wood Engravings, each Part will contain a fine Steel Engraving, representing an accurate Portrait, or some appropriate historical scene; nakinlg thirty steel plates in the volume. From the Hon, EDWARD EVERETT, D,0CL,, &c. BOSTON, March 11, 1862. DEAR SI: —I have examined with interest and pleasure the prospectus of the. "PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE GREAT REBELLION," proposed to be executed by MIr. Lossing. I feel no hesitation in expressing the opinion, that such a work, prepared by Mr. Lossing, will be of great value. Mr. Lossing's diligence in exploring the localities which he describes, his fidelity and accuraacy as an historian, and the spirit of his illustrations, are too well known, from his volumes which are already before the public, to need any recosmmendation. I remains, dear sir, respectfully yours, GEo. W. CRILDS, Esq. EDWARD EVERETT.,CPersons possessing Pamphlets, or other materials, relating to the Rebellion, wvill conlfer a favor by sending them to the author, Benson J. Lossing, Esq., Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

Its condensed weekly summary of Foreign and Domestic Intelligence is altogether superior to that contained in any other journal.

Y. Evening Post. We would not so often call attention to HARPER'S WEEKLY, if we were not well satisfied that it is the best'Family Paper published in the United States; and for that reason, and that alone, we desire to see it undermine and root out a certain kind of literature too prevalent, which blunts the morals of its readers, vitiates their taste for sensible reading, and is already bad in its effects.-New London Advertiser. Wherever we go-in rail-cars and steamboats —we find it seized with eagerness, because of its spirited sketches of passing events. We all like to look at the faces of men we have read of, and at ships and forts that have figured in the bloody scenes of war. Of all such men and places and events, this paper furnishes the best illustrations. Our future historians will enrich themselves out of HARPER'S WEEKLY long after writers and painters and publishers are turned to dust.-N.Y. Evangelist.

The SOCIETY OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND SCIENCES, AT PARIS, FRANCE, after repeated exhibitions in competition with other machines, decreed the FIRST-CLASS GOLD MEDAL FOR THE WHEELER & WIILSON SEWING-MACHINE. Similar awards have been made in England. One feature in the use of the WHEELER & WILSON Sewing Machine, resulting from the wide range of its application, is the varying branches of business to which it is applied as fashion changes. Thus, a house or a person furnished with these machines may, at different seasons, employ them in making Army Clothing, Skirts, or Mantillas, or Diamond Ruffling, or Shirts, or stitching Hats and Caps, etc. It is not as if they were limited to one branch of manufacture, and must remain unused unless that particular article were in demand. So long as sewing is to be done, these machines are sure of sonmething to do. Itence the WHEELER & WILS0N Sexewing Machine is the machine for all kinds of FAMILY SEwING, and for the use of Seamstresses, Dressmakers, Tailors, Manufacturers of Shirts, Collars, Skirts, Cloaks, Mantillas, Clothing, Htats, Caps, Corsets, Ladies' Gaiters, Linen Goods, Umbrellas, Parasols, Silk Goods, etc. The LOCK-STITCH made by this machine cannot be ravelled, and presents the same appearance upon each side of the seainm, a single line of thread extending from stitch to stitch. It is formed with two threads, one upon each side of the fabric alnd interlocked in the centre of it. In beauty and regularity, and in the firminess of the seam formed, it excels hand sewing. The qualities which recommend the Wheeler & Wilson machine are: 1. Beauty and excellence of stitch alike upon both sides of the fabric sewed. 2. Strength, firmness, and durability of seam, thalt will not rip nor ravel, and made with3. Economy of thread. 4. Its attachments and wide range of application to purposes and materials. 5. Compactness and elegance of model and finish. 6. Simplicity and thoroughness of construction. 7. Speed, ease of operation and management, and quietness of movement. SEkND F'OI} A_ CIIRCUIJAnr AND ALTI2ANAC. INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO EVERY TIHOUGHITFUL READER! A COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE DOCTRINE OF A FUTURE LIFE. GEORGE W. CHILDS, Nos. 628 & 630 Chestnut Street, Phila, delphia, will, on the 1st of September, 1863, publish, in one royal octavo volume of about 850 pages, A CRITICAL HISTORY OF THE DOCTRINE OF A FUTURE LIFE, by William Rounseville Alger. This work will present, in clear and attractive form, a detailed exposition of the whole subject of a future life, in all its branches and relations. It will set forth, in systematic arrangement, an exhaustive account of all the opinions of mankind on this solemn and fascinating theme, explaining, in their historic order of time, all the forms of this cardinal belief of the human soul which have prevailed in different ages and in different nations. The author has given great value to his work in several ways, in addition to the value arising from his profound and unwearied researches,-researches pushed and sustained until they have thoroughly explored every nook and cranny of the vast province under investigation. He has taken extreme pains to make his history winsome and acceptable to the popular mind, by making it simple and transparent, filling it with poetic feeling and interesting illustration. Accordingly, while in the highest degree learned and philosophic, it is so rapid, animated, anecdotic, that it will be found by every thoughtful person as interesting to read as a novel. Then the author not merely describes the manifold forms of thought and sentiment belonging to his subject, but explains them, —accounts for their origin and prevalence, and discusses their validity. Furthermore, to compress a whole library into one volume and make his treatise absolutely complete, he appends a descriptive catalogue of the entire literature of the subject, giving all the information needful for the reader's guidance in relation to every thing of importance that has ever been published on the question of a Future Life. This list comprises over five thousand distinct works, which are all classified under appropriate heads and in chronological order. The Publisher is confident that these features will recommend the book to the attention of the general public, and convince the scholar-especially the theologian-that he cannot afford to be without it. 1 vol large 8vo, handsomely printed, $3.50.

This is the oldest wholly Mutual Life Insurance Company in the United States, having been organized in 1843, and has been uniformly successful, having always made large returns in cash dividends to all the policy-holders. Last cash dividend, 39 per cent. It is strictly a benevolent institution for mutual protection, and entirely beneficent in all its workings and tendencies. By the last report of the Massachusetts Insurance Commissioners, the surplus of assets over liabilities was $850,000, being proportionately greater than any Life Insurance Company in the United States. Expenses proportionately " less" than any other Company. This Company, being purely mutual, insures at the lowest possible rates; and if the premiums paid exceed the actual cost, the surplus is returned to the parties insuring. Every fifth year, at the time of declaring the dividends, the business is, as it were, closed, so that its actual position and solvency are made manifest at that time; and the surplus funds are divided pro'ata among all the insured. This guards the assiured against any possible loss from inefficiency on the part of the Company, and is a sure guarantee as regards the flture. Insurance omay be effected for the benefit of married women, beyond the reach of their husbands' creditors. Creditors may insure the lives of debtors. Documents, showinf the benefits of Life Insurance, with the advantages of the mutual plan, and the superior position and marked success of this Company, and explaining the different kinds of policies, with their methods of paymenlt, may be obtained, free of expense, upon application, either personally or by mail, to JOHN HOPPER, Agent and Attorney for the Company, ]Metropolitan Bank Building, 110 Broadway, New York City.

DEAR SIR:-I have examined "Familiar Science" with some care, and must express a hearty approval of the manner in which the most "common things" of life are familiarly and clearly explained, without sacrificing the correctness of science. Embracing such questions as are usually put by the developing mind of children, with clear and precise answers, it will relieve parents and teachers of the unhappy necessity of crushing youthful inquiry, while it will tend to nourish a spirit of reflection and investigation in young and old. I comnenld it as avaluable catechism for schools, and for amusement and instruction at the fireside. GEORGE W. CHILDS, Publisher, 628 & 630 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.

T. B. WELCH'S MAGNIFICENT PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON. Engraved (by permission) from Stuart's only Original Portrait, in the Atheneum, Boston. THIS SUPERB PICTURE, Engraved under the superintendence of THOAMAS SULLY, Esq., the eminent and highly-gifted artist, is the only correct likeness of Washington ever published. The engraving now submitted to the examination of the American public needs no commendation from the publisher. Never before was WASHINGTON, the man of the age, and the father of his country, so distinctly placed before the public, having all the features of his character shown distinctly in his countenance; and never before, perhaps, did such complete success attend the combined labors of the painter and the engraver. STUART, the painter, very properly considered this Portrait as his immortal work; and WELCH, the engraver, has already won the highest expressions of the approbation of the best judges of the art in Europe and the United States. From Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott. DEAR SIR:-I am very much obliged to you for the compliment of the beautifully engraved likeness of Washington, from Stuart's original slietch, which I well remember he showed me with just pride, some years before his death, at Boston. This was the artist's master-work, so often copied by himself, and destined to be re-copied as long as it lasts. Without it posterity could never have formed a correct notion of the noble head and expression of the man of ages. The engraving, as a wvork of art, strikes me as worthy of the subject and the painter. With great esteem, I remain yours truly, G. W. CHILDS, Esq. WINFIELD SCOTT. T. B. B. WELCES MAGNItFICENT PORTRAIT OF JACKSON. Engraved (by permission) from Thomas Sully's only Original Portrait, in the possession of Francis P. Blair, Esq. From Francis Preston Blair, Esq. DEAR SIR -I thank you for the friendly sentiments of your letter, and the earnest given of them in the finely-engraved likeness of General Jackson with which you have honored use. Sully's picture —which Welch has so truly rendered in his capital engraving-was taken fronm the life when General Jackson visited Philadelphia, soon after the Seminolo War. The port rait gives, with a perfect delineation of his countenance, the exprlession of character which belonged to him in the vigor of life. The General's friends, who then lived with him in most famniliar intercourse, recognize the likeness as a imost striking one. It gratifies me highly that you have chosen to make this splendid work of one of our greatest painters the companion-piece of Stuart's noble head of Washington. They will adorn the home of every American whose heart is touched with enthusiasm for the great Patriot Chiefs whose fame is the country's glory. Your obedient servant, GEO. W. CHILDS, Esq. F. P. BLAIR. Vi-To enable all to possess these valuable Portraits, they are sold at the low price of FIVE DOLLARS per copy. Published by GEORGE W. CHILDS, 628 & 630 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.
