THE CREAM OF TEIE NEW ROOKS. " Priem& in Council War." on the Possibilities of From the conversational park of " Casimir Harernma," by Arthur Helps, just issued by Roberts Brothers, we extract a passage which sounds like an echo of Longfellow's quatrain: 41 Were halfthe.power that fills mankind with terror, Were half the wealth displayed in camps and courts Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals and forts." The strong views of the English Cabinet Sec retary on the wasteful and inconclusive nature of a warlike policy have been carefully main- tained in bis several books. Ho has been at the centre, and has bad a near view of this clumsiest tool of diplomacy. His last book, as will be seen, pursues the subject. It is an argument on a different side indeed, and of another degree of strength ,from the spasmodic war-cries introduced by the paid governmental Praiser in the poem of " Maud." ON WAR Ellesmere.—Now, as to another omission. I suppose yoni have all noticed something, or rather the absence of something, in this tale of Casimir Maremma; and that is, that Milverton has not said a word about the evils of war. I '4IO not like this. You know my theOry, that it; argues ill of everybody when he is .not like - his former self. I have had the honor of Mil verton's acquaintance ever since he was a little boy of six years old in a jacket, and I do not remember any occasion for long talk since that period in which lie has not informed me• that war is a terrible thing. I begin to think that he some day grow old, and be unlike the creature we have known him both as boy and man. Now, if Sir Arthur were to be rude and coarse; if Crammer were to say that taxes should not be__paid cheerfully if Matileverer Were' to declare that Litman nature is a very pretty thing,and that boys and girls are charm ing specimens of creation ; if Lady Ellesmere Were to praise her husband ; if Mrs. Milverton were to be indifferent to our comforts; and if Sandy were to protest that Scotchmen were not the glory and the pride of mankind—l should feel as uncomfortable about them as I do about lililverton, seeing that lie has let pass so many good opportunities in this tale of thunder ing against war. I tell you again I am afraid he is becbming old and sour, and - weary of us Milverton.—No ; I have said my say. I wait now fur events. I wait for what the doctors and the chemists will do. Cranmer.—As usual, I am utterly pinzled. ais to what you mean, Milverton. - have . ' said it before. There are very pretty inventions being made by peo ple who are schemine• b to hate fish torpedoes' which will attack and instantly destroy a large vessel—also by men who are framing cannon of such calibre as will at one discharge sink a man-of-war; but I rely upon the doctors and chemists. We shall call them - in to " pre scribe " against an army ; and they will teach us how to throw pestilences at one another, or rather, 'bow to sow the seeds of pestilences in the pound over which an ,invading army must pass,, At last we shall come to the conclusion that war is too dreadful a thing to be under taken except in cases of the last necessity. You may imagine that I am speaking boast fully ; but I think with my present knowledge, especially if I were aided by some men who hate pursued the same scientific researches as myself-I.- could -with- the-utmost ease. destroy... the commissariat of an invading army. Sir Arthur.—Tbat would be fatal. 'llllterton.—Well; it is most feasible. I am quite certain I could introduce cattle plague amongst their herds, and a disease amongst their horses which would cut up all their cavalry. A similar thing will be effected with human beings when once we hate got the doc tors and chemists to look into the question. Historians nave been very remiss in narrating the history of campaigns, and omitting to tell us how often the fate of a campaign has de pended upon tile introduction of a disease among the animals that accompanied an army. Ellesmere.—Yes.; I have always had a mean opinion of historians. • iefilterton.—Well, when we have brought destructiveness, both of man and beast, to its utmost power, we shall begin to think that we Must take up other means and adopt other courses to settle diplomatic disputes. After all, mankind, not, withstanding what Mr. - Mau' everer says about it,_ bits sonic glimmerings of sense, and will see that international law must be systeinatiked, and must be made effective. You will then no longer have the rubbish talked that is now talked, even by Christian clergymen,of the greatness of a nation depend ing upon its willingness to go - to war upon. the • most trumpery causes. I should not have said anything about this matter, for I am wearied of talking about it, if Ellesmere had not pro -yoked me to do so. • Only imagine what it would be if men could throw pestilences at one another. There would not be the clash of arms, the pride of battle,the joy of striking a bold stroke for one's country, but men would have to meet a stalk ing, noiseless, fatal foe, most inimical to thoughts of glory and to thoughts of daring. Ellesmere. —Good heavens, what ideas he brings before us ! "Dose as before " instead of "Up, Guards, and at them!" I must own that 1 think all the poetry of warfare would be taken out of it, and Milverton and his doctors and chemists would have the best of it. • Mikerton.—Now you are all Christians—you would be very much scandalized if it were not acknowledged that you were Christians. What do you think our Saviour would say if tie were to appear on earth again at this present time. Do you think He would approve of three or four millions of human beings being kept un der arms to maintain the armed peace of Europe ? I may be very stupid, but I have read Christivity in quite another way, and I do think thar if there is anything condemned by the principles set forth in the Sermon on the Mount, it is the present state of European armies—as much condemned, by the way, by sound political economy, as by the dictates of Christianity. You may recollect what I said some days ago when Johnson and I handed to you the espies of "Casimir Marernma." I said that women, if they had been more consulted in the affairs of the world,would have protested against the love of war and the lust of con quest. 1 think so still; and I think that as they gain power they will bedome the most *valuable advocates of peace. • One word more. If there has been any one -maxim more fatal - to the world than another, it bas been this : St rig pacern, pare bellum." Zv'en wise men do not seem to have perceived that there is -no end to this preparation for war; and that the preparation is almost as fatal to 13 e best interests of the human race as the Presence of war itself. You begin a thing to which there is no end. .p in ake a -preparation ; you make a counter preparation; and so it goes on ad inlinitum.

Littell's Living Age, No. 134 T, for March 26th,contains an exceedingly readable article by Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, on Allibone's Diction ary of Authors, describing the completion of that work by Dr. Allibone in 1866 (to give an idea of the compiler's resources we -- quote the fact that his article on Shakespeare was con densed from 1040 printed volumes and tracts).

A good article on Marcus Aurelius, from Cassell's Magazine, gives a vivid view of that noble sage, in short space. The, titles of other •pariers, exclusive of poetry and short articles, are : An Adventure of a Young Man from the Country—Chambers' Journal ; The Iron Ring—St. James' Magazine; Mary Jane—English Magazine • Measuring Star Heat—Spectator; An Old Woman on Wife- Choosing; The Bridge of Sighs—Al/ the Year Round; Waiting for the Bride—Chambers' Journal, and flints to Wearers of Kid Gloves— Canadian Journal of Cominerce. Turning over the monthly number of the same periodical for • April—consisting, of course, of the accumulated weeklieS—we see with interest a number of first-class popular papers, such as the-article from Belgravia on Henri Rochefort, that from Cassell's on" Bon nie Prince Charlie," Temple Bar's account of Mlle. Tinne the traveler, and many social essays and short finished tales from the best writers. The Transatlantic has assumed a place of its own, which separates it from all our eclectic publications and adapts it to a large and intelligent class of the community. A little less pedantic than Peery Saturday, a •little less given to long ponderous• Quarterly articles,and•protracted novels than, . Age, the Transatlantic has an equally keen scent for a smart brightpaper wherever found, and a better faculty of excluding scholarly dul ness and prosiness. With its variety of short fiction and striking fact, its legible and at tractive page, and its frequent appearance, it constitutes itself a favorite and a desired visitor.—Published by Hamersly & Co:, for sale by Turner Bros. & Co. [From tho Buffalo Txprenc] A MYSTERIOUS VISIT. nY MARK TWAIN. The first notice that was taken of me when I "settled down, " recently, was by a gentle man who said he was an assessor, and con nected with the United States Internal Revenue Department. I said I had never beard of his branch of business before, but I was very glad to see him, all the same,—would be sit down? He sat down. I did not know anything par ticular to say, and yet I felt that people who have arrived at the dignity of keeping house must be conversational, must be easy and sociable in company. So in default of any , thing else to say, I asked him if he was open ing his shop' in our neighborhood. He said he was. [irdid not — ill to appear ignorant, but 1 had hoped he would mention what he had for sale.] I ventured to ask him "how was trade 2" and he said "So-so." 1 then said we would drop in, and if we liked his house as well as any other, we would give him our custom. Fie said he thought we "would like his establishment well enough to confine ourselves to it—said be never saw anybody who would go (Maud hunt up another man in his line after trading with him once. That sounded pretty complacent, but barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the mau looked honest enough. 1 do not know how it came about, exactly, but gradually we appeared to melt down and run together, conversationally speaking, and then everything went along as couOrtably as, clockwork. We talked, and talked, and talked—at least, I did. And we laughed, and laughed, and laughed—at least he did. But all the time, 1 bad my presence of mind about me—l had my native shrewdness turned on, " full head," as the engineers say. I was detertiained to tied' b out all about his business, in spite of his °b a:ire answers—and I was etermined 1 would have it out of him without his suspecting what I was at: I meant to trap him with a deep, deep ruse. 1 would tell him all about my own business, and he would naturally so warm to me during this sedactivo burst of confidence that he would ,forget himself and tell me all about histiltairs before be suspected what was about. I thought to myself', my son, you little know what an old fox you are dealing with. I said: "Now you never would guess what I made lecturing, this winter and last spring?" "No—don't believe I could, to save me. Let me see—let me see. About two 4housand dollars maybe? But no—no, sir, I know you couldn't have made that much. Say seventeen hundred, maybe ?" "Ila-ha! I knew you couldn't. My lee turing receipts for last spring and this winter Were fourteen thousand. seven hundred and fifty dollars. What do you think of that?" ""Why, it is amazing—perfectly amazing. I will make a note of it. And you say even this Wasn't all?" !

"Possible! It' there's any mistake it's the other way. Two hundred and fourteen thou sand, cash, is my income for this year if lknow bo ' wb e cipller.' ilin the gentleman got up to go. It came over me most uncomfortably that maybe I had made my revelations for nothing, besides being flattered into stretch ing them considerably by the stranger's as tonished exclamations. But no; at the last moment the gentleman handed me a large envelope and said it contained his advertise ment ; and that I would find out all about his business in it; and that he would be happy to have my customwould, in fact, be proud to have the custom of a man of such prodigious income; and that he used to think that there were several wealthy men in Buffalo, but when they come to trade with him he discovered that they barely had enough to live on; and that in truth it had been such a weary, weary age since he had seen a rich man face" - to face, and talked with him, and tonched'him with his hands, that he could hardly refrain from em bracing me—in fact, would esteem it a great favor if I would let him embrace me. This so pleased me that I did not try to re sist, but allowed this simple-hearted stranger to throw his arms about me and weep a few tran quilizing tears •down the back of my neck. Then he went his way. As soon as be was gone, I opened his adver tisement. 1 studbd it attentively for four minutes. I then called up the cook and said : 'q Hold ine I faint. Let Maria turn the batter-cakes." By • and by, wheii - I — carne to the rum-mill on the corner and hired au artist by the week to sit up nights' and cane that stranger, and give me a lift occasionally in the daytime when I came to a hard place. Ali, what a miscreant he was! His "ad vertisement" was nothing in the world but a wicked tax-return—a string of impertinent questions about my private affairs occupying the best part of four foolscap pages of fine print—questions, I may remark,gotten up with such marvelous ingenuity that the oldest man in the world couldn't understand what the most of them were driving at—questions, too, that were calculated to make a man report about four times his actual income to keep from swearing to a lie. .1 looked for a loop-hole, but there did not appear to be any. Inquiry No. 1 covered my case, as generously and as amply as an umbrella could cover an ant hill : "What were your profits, in 1&19, from any trade, business or vocation, wherever carried on?" And that inquiry was backed up by thirteen others of an equally searching nature, the most , modest of which required information as to whether I bad committed an "burglary, or high way robbery; r by any arson or other secret source of emolument, had acquired property which was not enumerated in my statement of income as set opposite to inquiry No. 1. It was plain that that stranger had enabled me to make an .ass of myself. It was very, very plain, and I went out and hired another . artist. By working on my vanity the stranger had seduced me into declaring an income of $214,060. By 1aw,.51,000 of this was exempt from income tax -the only relief - I - could • -see, and it was only a drop in the ocean. At the legal live per cent., I must ' . pay over to the eovernnient the appalling sum of ten thousand six hundred and fifty dollars, income tax. [I may remarki in this place, that I did not do it.] I arriacquainted with a very opulent man, Whose house is a palace, whose table is regal, whose outlays are enormous, yet a man who has no income, as I have often noticed by the revenue returns; .and to him I went for ad vice in any distress. kle took my dreadful ex hibition of receipts, be put on his glasses, he took his pen, and presto ! I was a pauper! It was the neatest thing that ever was. He ' I did it simply by deftly manipulating the bill of "DEDUCTIONS." He set down my "State, national and municipal taxes" at so much; my. "losses by shipwreck, fire, etc," at so much; my "losses on sales of 'real estate "—on "live stock sold "—on "payments for rent of homestead "—on " repairs ' Im provements, interest "—on " previously taxed salary as an officer of the United States army, navy, revenue service," and other things. He got astonishing "deductions" out of each and every one ,faf. Ihexe.teatta'ch--and—eve-ty _ _ . One of them. And when he was done be handed me the paper, and I saw at a glance that during the year ISO my income, in the way of profits, had been one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars and forty cents. "Now," said 'he. "the thousand dollars is exempt by law. What you want to do .is to gO and swear this document In and pay tax on the two hundred and fifty dollars." [While be was making this speech his little boy Willy lifted a two-dollar greenback out . of his vest pocket and vanished with It, and I would bet anything that if my stranger were to call on that little boy to-morrow, he would make a false return of his income.] '• Do you," said I, "Do you always work up the 'deductions' after this fashion in your case, sir ?" "Well, I should say so! If it weren't for those eleven saving - clauses under the bead of 'Deductions ' I should be beggared every year to support this hateful and wicked, this extortionate and tyrannical government." This gentleman stands away up among the very best of the solid men of Buffalo—the men of moral weight, of commercial integrity, of unimpeachable social spotlessness—and so I bowed to his example. 1 went, down to the revenue office, and under the accusing eyes of my old visitor 1 stood up and swore to lie after lie, fraud after fraud, villainy after villainy, till my immortal soul was coated inches and inches thick with perjury and my self-respect was gone forever and ever. But what of it? It is nothing more than thousands of the highest, and richest, and proudest, and most respected, honored and courted men in America do every year. And' so I don't care. lam not ashamed. I shall simply; for the present, talk little and wear fire-proof gloves,, lest I fall into certain habits irrevocably. CUTLERY.

Their testimony on the first point was not convincing. Other witnesses were brought up to testify to the good conduct of the Prince as an officer. While one of the lawyers for the prosecution was conducting the cross-examination he used an expression offensive to the Prince, who violently interrupted the proceedings,- and, turning to the lawyer, deupuuce.d him and his party as a faction. Fonvielle, terribly excited, called the Prince an assassin. This caused great - confusion among the spectators and in the court. Fon vielle was forcibly taken out by two officers, and the Procureur-General demanded his pun is.lument,but the Court decided to postpone the matter until the end of the sitting. Flouquet then commenced his argument for the prosecution, reviewing the lives of Noir, Ponvielle and Prince Bonaparte, and pointed Out the dfference in their characters. He (Melt on the reputation of the Prince as a man of viorence auitasserted that he was known to have killed four men, • and related how he left the military service without permission iu 1649, for which Louis Napoleon dismissed him ;from the army. At this point the Prince became greatly ex ,cited and exclaimed that there was a plot to aggravate him. He was severely reprimanded by the court for interrupting counsel. At the -conclusion of the argument for the prosecution Fouvielle was brought in, and the presiding judge sentenced him to ten days' confinement for contempt of court.

In fact, the labor is. drininishlng in • quantity and deteriorating in quality year af ter year, and if, some ,remedy should not bo found, the Cultivation of these valu able . products will, in a great • measure, be abandoned." -Many of , the -1111133 V tics plantations on the Ogeechee and Altamaha have, already been- Oven up, or, turned. over to the negroes, which is about the seine thing. So far as cultivation goes , this year, the lands have been very well prepared, but planting of all kinds has boon greatly retarded by the cold spells, which continue to octiur from time to time.. The rice-planters on the rivers have great apprehensions froni the *valets now coming down upon them, and no doubt great delay, if not serious damage, will result. The crops of both rice and cotton are obliged to be smaller than those of last•year. In Southern Georgia and Florida considerable corn has been planted, but in view of the weather it might as well be out of the ground. In the interior of the State the labor is far better and more under the control or planters, but the complaint of scarcity is universal, and, as a necessary consequence, the area of land cultivated will he considerably less than it was last year. On the other band, much of the de ficiency will be made up, should the seasons be favorable, by the use of fertilizers, which have been bought to an extent that has no parallel in the past hlstorynf our agriculture. The preparation of the ground is reorted ex cellent, but the season for planting backward. It is usual for the crops of corn to be in by the 10th or 115th of March, and. we doubt if one planter in fifty has yet put a seed in the earth, while the little that is in will have a struggle to get through alter the heavy rains all over the State Saturday and Sunday last, followed by severe weather and high March winds. Cotton planting will hardly commence with the great body of the planters before the Ist, or perhaps the 10th of April. With *these circumstances attending the commencement of operations, the reader will form his own opinion of the probable results. I PO IiTAT I 0 NS. Reported for the Philadelphia Eyenlng Bulletin.
