: L1TEUATUIIE. HE VIEW OFNKW 13 )(). (1NTHT PARTPRfi. A lX)V6 Storv. Bv iC 'Countess of Iiletf1ngton." T. B. Peterson A Brothers A good three-volume novel i so rare, that when one is published It Hhould be secured, not nlj for Its merit, but because it is a literary curioBity. "Country Quartern" Is, therefore, welcome, both as a pleasant companion and as a type of a class seldom met with. Its stylo Is lull and vigorous. Its characters are not Intro ' duced ior a tew chapters, and then killed off to make way for others, but are all carried through thetale along with the reader's interest, and have a natural, lifelike distinctness of peculiari ties which makes us feel a personal interest in their fate. Ihe dialogues Introduced are all of them spicy and unstrained none of that stilted exactness, suggestive of roafhemutics, or trivial twitterings which only a school-girl could utter. ween we say tne book ends exactly as we would desire, that all the military heroes settle In peace, and all the heroines marry the men we ' wanted them to, and that it is published in Tetersons' best style, we bave said enough to recommend it to our readers as a book to be jernscd. The Great EnnFLunN. By John Minor Botts. Harper & Brother. I'UilauV.phia Agents: J. B. Lippiucott A, Co. If, instead of giving the caption of "The tJreat Itebcllion" to his boot, Mr. Botts had nflixeii the appropriate name of "A Deiense of Myself," he would have displayed much better dibcriminatlon in the Fcleetiou of a title. The work is nothing more than an elaborate instance cf special pleading in favor ol the author, and is intended to reply to the unkind criticisms which all have made on his remarkable course. We believe that Mr. Botts is, from his heart of hearts, a good, consistent Union man, fcnd that he has always been 'so. But While we are willing to grant him all the credit for his love of Union, yet his eccentricities, prompted, as they doubtless were, by a moral cowardice, need the utmost use of the cloak of chanty. We feel but little interest now in the bygone issues of the annexation of Texas and the Kansas and Nebraska bill. The Missouri Compromise; and that of ls.,0, although of vital Importance to our country, are now things of the dead past. Tbey and we are of different trns, and it is only of that part of the book that relates to the war that we will speak. W&en we say that of the work a very good-3ized one but one tenth is devored to the context, we think our readers will agree with, us that the production is misnamed. , We would, having allowed Mr. Botts all the credit belonging to him &1 a Union man, refer to some of his dc3cicncles of moral, or possibly physical courage. When the action of the Se cession Convention was submitted to a popular vote, eight thousand citizens voted against it, and yet Mr. Botts did not. vote, because his friends dissuaded him, on the ground of per sonal danger. That is no cause for being in timidated. He states that he shall repent yield ing until the last day of his life;j and we, too, regret it for his sake. If eight thousand others less prominent were not afraid to vote, why should he, their leader, be driven from his right? In this Mr. Botts displayed a cowardice cf which lie may well be a?hanied. Again, in 18(Jl, he urged upon Mr. Lincoln the convening of a convention which would allow the South to go out in peace. This is, in the light of late events, a most heinous offense. But when we remember that Mr. Botts lived in a Southern Border State, and was Feekiug to save ber from the jaws of rebellion, we cannot blame him so much as we would others. He faded from, we believe, a sincere conviction of duty; and we set it down rather to a misguided judgment than to any desire to see the Union dissolved. He believed that such a course would secure the return of the seceders at an early day. His celebrated interview with Mr. Lincoln, in Which he assorts that the President pave him Lis word that, if the State Convention of Vir ginia would to adjourn sine die, he would evacuate Fort Sumter, is given in full, and is by far the most interesting part of the volume. The appendix, which constitutes two-thirds of the volume, is filled with the personal papers of Mr. Botts. As a sort of autograph the work is interesting. As a history of the Great Rebellion it has no significance. It is well bound and .biy written, Stjnnybank. By Marlon Harland. Sheldon A Co.: New York. Philadelphia Agents: T. B. Peterson A Brothers. Tor several years Marion Harland has only appeared before the public as a writer of short sketches. We hail her return to the continuous story with satisfaction, "s'unnybank" treats of the events of the war, but reintroduces to us characters already made tamlliar in "Alone." It is a love story, treating of treachery aud devo tion, and one in which truth eventually wins. It takes neither side oi the war; but as the authoress is known to buve been loyal, the work is unobjectionable. The scene is laid in the Old Dominion, and the same originality and force which have characterized her works in (he past are found in the one before us. It is not her best work, but it is far from belug her worst, siid will be read by the numberless admirers of her chef tVauvre, "Alone." Tue FRriT-TREr. CYlttribt. A Treatise by Andrew P. Fuller. New York: (j. E. A F. V. Woodward. A neatly got-up little treatise ou fruit trees, which cannot fail to interest those devoted to horticulture. The author is a practical worker among the class of flora of which he treats, and , is in every way qualified to speak on the subr ject. He does not theorize; he gives directions and advice, and tells us how to do, without speculating why such things are. His work is a useful addition to our department of horticul tural literature. Motes on Epidemics. i;y Francis Edmund A untie, M. D. J. B. Lippiucott A Co. The little work before us covers a ground for vlich a hand-book has long been needed. It i treats of the causes and remedies for epidemic diseases. It dwells principally on typhus, typhoid, choleaa, and epidemic diarrhoea. It is useful as a manual of treatment, and U rather a popular than a strictly professional work. It v 1)1 be found of use in every household, and is evidently wiitten by a physician well versed lu the subjects of which he treats. . . Joi n C.

Thk Gas Investigation Committee i?H ArrnoAcniNo. Colonel , Pace's com mmee met vesterday afternoon. Colonel Charles inoimon Jones, President of the Board of .trustees, beinu the witness. As on previous occasions, he gave his evidence with cheerful ness. The refusal of th tm appear before the Committee compelled Colonel lane to go to President Jones ns the bestln- iur uea person to whom he could apply. Mr. Jones paid that he had heard that some of the former Trustees were Interested in a Penn sylvania coal company. He didn't know it. He ...... vvu'i'iuij, j.,v uiiui i, kuun ii. ne John A. Houseman, Trustee, say that toik in the Shafton Coal Comnnnv. nearu wr. j he had sto and was sorry that he had lbe Hays contract made with the Shafton Coal Company was completed. All the coal under It was furnished. Its price was eight dollars and fifty cents per ton, and all lreights over four dollars and fifty cents per ton, and all evtr expenses lor mining were to be paid by the Trustees. Mr. Jones .said he didn't know any moneys hud been raid for minlmr. Colonel Page said he had no desire to be secret, buu nuuiu ujr limine wouiu prove that under tie guii-eof extra mining pay tue Trust had paldj enormous prices for coali simply because its Trustees were interested in the coal com panies making contracts for coal. Mr. Junes said he didn't know bow the Trust found out what amount was paid for extra mining. He supposed the engineer would know. Mr. Jones said that the late contract with Alexander Harrner was valid and goo.l. He voted lor It. Harrner offered to sell coal at lest, prices than any others did, his price being eiglu (lolliirsand twenty-five cents. He b'dieved no lrui-tee was interested In commission But Mr. Iruotee Oraetf is a clerk In Harmer's brother's store. Clay re'.orts are now being made for the Irust by Newkumet 4 Co. The Trust formerly bought from Nev York. Mr. Jones said members of Councils are now doing work tor the Trust, This has always oeen so. The members are given work because their bids are low, not from favoritism. These Councilmen are Henry C. Oram, who supplies i 1 9i ?ith B Pr,i"H of their retort; Mr. kittle, of Common Cou-cil, is building the Seventh street ofiice; .dr. Kay, of Common Council, has made belting; Mr. Creswell, of Common Council, furnishes castings for the works; Mr. Barlow furnishes oil; Mr. liobert M. Evans lurnishes oil: and Mr. Harper ciuars Competition is invited sometimes by proposals ana sometimes by sending around circulars to business men. Colonel Page asked Mr. Jones if the Trustees Vo11?1 XLs1tt'd collieries in Schuvlklil county in I8b5. by the wav Of Ni:.rnrtt VaUa M- i., said that they went to the Westmoreland county collieries, comiTjg home bv the way of Niagara and Elmira. So he had heard; he didn't know of personal knowledge. Air. Kobert H. Grata a president of one of the coal companies, haviDg contracts with the Trust, took tne parly. The Pennsylvania Railroad furnished its directors' car tor the party, aud the Along and furnished good edible's an.l hihihi for ttie excursionists. Whn nui.i iha m. Jones didn't know. Mr. GraU invited him. In the same year the Trust had an excursion to Boston and New York to examine die works in those cities. The Trust paid the expenses of this lourney. That one thousand dollars was paid lor the trip before it commenced, aud ttve hundred dollars afterward added, Mr. Jonc3 did not know. He had no ror-nllpntirm f .: cussion in the Board ou that account. All the ieeuing expenses of the Board, he thought, were included in the three thousand nine hundred and htty dollars reported last year for tbe suppers and ciuars. This year Mr. Jones said the expense would be heavier. What was annually paid for dears ami l not tell. Latterly there were tnree thousand cigar -t ordered. They were nn ordered by a lru.-tee, and by.'whoni he did not know, but they twc "Miucuj iwu tuuusaua were returned, aud one thousand kept and paid for seventy-tive dollars. When committees went to Point Breeze or other works and came home at night, Mr. Jones said they went to Pressor's and got oysters. They wore charged to the Trust. Twice a week the Trust have meetings and sup pers. The committees when they meet at niertit go to Piosser's and take a bite. For all which the Trust pays. Mr. Jones said that the Trustees charged all the gas that w as not paid lor or not used to leakage. This great account included all gas that was not included on the paid list and the delinquent accounts. He also suid that the ac counts at the Trust bave been kept uusatisfac torily. The books were kept loosely, so much so that when the Trustees wanted to see if the price of gas could be reduced, no account could be made of the financial condition of the Trust. Two statements made by the ditl'erent cashiers were pronounced worthless, and two Trustees, Mr. Macaithy and Mr. Elliot, mad,e a new one, the Trust paying them three hundred and fifty dollars each. This is the fee that Councils pronounced a fraud. Mr. Jones said neither Trustee Lad refunded it to the Trust. A great deal of gas, he said, was also lost by cheating in the meters. Professor John C. Cresson was next examined. His testimony only tended to show the former management of the Gas Works. Colonel Page questioned him very closely concerning the time when the Board at their meetings indulged in relresnments. The suppers, he deposed", at first were very modest in their spread; prior to consolidation it was a mere lunch; gentlemen came lrom long distances to attend the meet ings, and refreshments were necessary; liquors were introduced long afterwards, but the wit ness showed tbe Board that any workman there was dischaiged if he brought a battle of whisky into the place, and that it was n it a good ex ample lor tne members of the Board to introduce liquors. The Board saw the wisdom of this course, and the liquors were banished. For ten years the suppers were kept up, but they were not very extravagaut. This was the case under all the various administrations. The cost was charged to incidentals. When Councils were invited, the cost of an entertainment whs not more than three or lour hundred dollars. In those days no member of the Trust had any personal interest to sub.-erve. The witness knew every man of them intimately; and for twenty years, in the old moUest way of doin" the business of the Gas Trust, nobody could say a word against the management. Ot more recent festivities, charged to the account of the Trust, the witness could not testify, kuowinp of them only by hearsay. He had oiten been'iu vited to participate, but had rarely done so. At this stage of the proceedings Cclonel Pa,re desired an adjournment until next Wednesday evening. He proposes theu to terminate the investigation, and will do so if the promised witnesses are in attendance. He also announced tha he should subpceiia euch individual mem ber of the Trusi, leaving upon them the onus ot refusing to respond to such questions as mi "lit be asked. Mr. iloxie, the builder, :s alsj a wit ness, whose testimony it will require. ome time to take. LiGHT-FijfQERED.

This distinguished orator will deliver an address on "The Dutv of the Hour," at the Acadsmy of Music, on Tues day cveninir, the 20th ii.st. Whilst we do not particularly admire some of Mr. Phillips' platitudes, we are free to admit his honesty and unceiity of purpose, and bis devo tion to the great cause of equal aud impartial justice to all men. It may be true, as some of his friends af serf, that he is only in advance of Che ace perhaps too far to he rpfrnrHed na a practical statesman. And it is just here, In our judgment, w here he loses much of that weight and influence w hieh he might otherwise exert. The fact that he is hated by every malignant traitor and Copperhead in tlic country should commend him to the favorable ot all loyal people. That h is an orator there can De no question, and probably the very flower of New England culture. Thousands who' do not sympathize with his peculiar views are induced to go and hear him, to enjoy his great powers of eloquence, sarcasm, and invective. As the sale of tickets bezan this morniug, we would advise those who propose to hear him to make early application for reserved seats. Tliis is the first time In several years that Mr. Phillips has b en in Philadelphia, and will be the last time this season, as we are informed. A Splendid Steam eh. A substantially built steamship, called Wyoming, ot 1000 tons, was launched yesterday afternoon from the National f?hip Company's Yard, at Kaichn's Point.

The steamer was built tor Mr. Henry Wiuods, who, we understand, has sold her to the New Southern Steamship Com pany. She will be completed and ready loi the Southern trade enrly next month. At the same yard, the keel and frame for a schooner of 400 tons has been laid and put up, and will be finished in January. A Runaway and Fatal Accident.
