neral line, and so uncovered the left, Hart's, Bigelow's and Walcott's batteries of light 12 pounders were posted in the neighborhood of the Anderson house to protect that flank, should the enemy attack there. Before daylight Rittenhouse's battery was pushed forward on the pike to our advanced works, about 1,400 yards from the court-house, and was joined by Taft's (Fifth New York Independent) battery of six 20 pounder Parrott's, which had temporarily joined the brigade the night before and Sheldon's battery, making 14 guns, under command of Major Fitzhugh. At the same time Captain Cooper, with his own, Breck's and Phillips' batteries, making 12 three-inch guns, was posted on a sharp knoll to the front, and some 400 yards to the left of Major Fitzhugh's line, making an angle of about 60 degrees with it. The position of all these batteries was excellent. The first was protected by fair works, and the rapid descent of the knoll from the rear to Cooper's afforded excellent shelter for

associated with their leading and distinctive principle. The Socinianism of Falkland rests on the testimony of Aubrey, who wrote his life, in which he styles him the first Socinian in England; having been converted by the perusal of the first copy of the Fratres Poloni which was brought into this country. Hales's celebrated tract on Schism is chiefly derived from Socinus; and the works of Chillingworth frequently betray a familiarity with the Polish writers. His well-known letter to Dr. Sheldon, in which he argues the question of subscription in a most clear and unanswerable manner, on principles which admit of no refutation or dispute, assigns the Athanasian Creed, among other insurmountable obstacles to his subscribing the Articles of the English church, and partaking by that means of the emoluments and preferments which his friends were able and willing to bestow upon him. There is good reason to believe that his difficulties went farther than this; and though it is unfortuna

ere his father had parishes, and when thirteen years of age he moved with his parents to New York city, when his father assumed charge of a parish in the metropolis. In 1861 Mr. Brooks entered the Free academy, now the college of the city of New York, taking excellent rank in literature, history, and the classics, but left in the middle of his junior year to enter the publishing house of D. Appleton & Co. as a salesman. We next find him in the publishing houses of J. B. Ford & Co. and Sheldon & Co. In the fall of 1876 he took charge of the English educational and subscription department of the German publishing house of E. Steiger & Co., remaining there until December, 1879, when he joined the editorial staff of the Publishers' Weekly, the organ of the book publishers' trade. From 1883 to 1885 he was connected with the staff of the Brooklyn Daily Times as reviser, literary editor, and dramatic critic, and in the latter year was invited to become one of the associate editors of

e enemy's works; but after having succeeded in the attempt, finding herself isolated and exposed to a concentrated fire, she was obliged to go down the river again. On the morning of the 11th every one was at his post; Steele's division, on the extreme right, rested on the bayou, and Hovey's brigade, from the position it occupied, commanded the river even above the fort. The centre was formed by Stuart's small division, the left by A. J. Smith's division, which connected with the river by Sheldon's brigade. The powerful artillery of the Federals, owing to the protection of the woods they found there, was pushed to within some hundred metres of the enemy's breastworks. The morning was employed in rectifying the line of battle and in making all necessary preparations to secure combination in the attack. Meanwhile, the gunboats had again engaged the fort. The latter sent a few shells into the ranks of the Federals, which, being well directed, killed a number of men; but the fire fr

nreasonable, and requiring that his conditions should be clearly understood, laid a plan for an interview at which a person fully authorized was to close with his proposals. The rendezvous was given by him within the American lines, where Colonel Sheldon held the command; and that officer was instructed to expect the arrival at his quarters of a person in New York to open a channel of intelligence. On the same day, Andre, disguising his name, wrote to Sheldon from Chap. XVIII.} 1780. New Sheldon from Chap. XVIII.} 1780. New York by order of Clinton: A flag will be sent to Dobbs Ferry on Monday next, the eleventh, at twelve o'clock. Let me entreat you, sir, to favor a matter which is of so private a nature that the public on neither side can be injured by it. I trust I shall not be detained, but I would rather risk that than neglect the business in question, or assume a mysterious character to carry on an innocent affair and get to your lines by stealth.

There are now several thousand waiting to be examined, and many of them which are too long to be read, will be destroyed without being read. More prisoners at the Washington Female prison Bakery Mass of Insanity. A Washington correspondent, of the 4th inst., communicates the following to a Baltimore journal: Three prisoners have been added to the charge of Lieutenant Sheldon, at the female prison, formerly Mrs. Greenhow's house.--Two of them are from Washington, and the other is Mrs. Baxley, from Baltimore, arrested while trying to make her way through our lines across the river, and not upon the Old Point boat, as the papers state. She is an unmitigated rebel and cheered justly for Jeff. Davis and the Southern Confederacy.

iate farewell of all their guards--Mrs. Greenhow saying to one of the soldiers,--"Good bye, sir; I trust that in the future you may have a nobler employment than that of guarding defenceless women." Mrs. Greenhow and Baxler then advanced to Lieutenant Sheldon, who had charge of the prison quarters, and thanked him for the uniform courtesy and kindness he had shown them during their confinement; while little Rose Greenhow, who, at the request of her mother, will be imprisoned with her, threw her embraced him. When Rose Greenhow entered the prison at Old Capitol Hill she naively remarked to Lieutenant Wood, "You have got one of the hardest little rebels here that you ever saw. But," said she, "if you get along with me as well as Lieut. Sheldon, you will have no trouble." Mrs. Greenhow then, turning to her daughter, said to her, "Rose, you must be careful what you say here." Rose, however, did not seem to think that the caution was at all necessary, and that she would fare well in h

Yankee Literian news. --The New York World has the following notice of a new book about to be published: Sheldon &Co. will publish, in a few days, a new novel, by Marton Harland, author of "Alone," "Hidden Path," "Nemesis," &c., called "Miriam." The large sale of her previous works has rendered Marion Harland the most popular female writer in this country. "Alone" and "Hidden Path" each had a sale of about 40,000 copies. The scene of this new story is laid in the dark and bloody ground of Kentucky, and the work is dedicated to George D. Prentice, editor of the Louisville Journal. Marion Harland, although born and brought up in Richmond, Va., married and is now living in loyalty in Newark, N. J.
