7EHE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1860. LITERATURE. XX VIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From J. IJ. Lippinoott A Co. we bavo re eeiyed an ftnonynwus work on the perplexing object of reason nnd revelation, entillort Credo." The book iH an exposition of the ChriHtian faith rw the author conceives it, and jm endeavor to reconcile the discoveries of neionce with the declarations of the Scriptures. Tho work is thoughtful, and to a certain .de gree thorough, and it presents a variety of inter sting subjects that cannot fail to inte rest Christian readers. The same house sends us "Patty Or ly'fi Journey to the Cotton Islands," by Caroline E. Dale a pleasantly viiiten narrative of travel in the South, for the benefit of young readers; and "Wedlock; or, Tho Kight Hala tions of the Sexes," by S. It. Wells, an expo sition of this important subject from a phrenological standpoint. From Claxton, Konisen & Ilaft'cllinger wo have received "Cipher." n romanco by Jane O. Austin. Published by Sheldon & Co. This novel, while running as a serial in the Galaxy, attracted much attention. Tho plot is of decided interest, and tho author has shown ability of no common order in tho de lineation of some of her characters. Despite certain affectations of style at times, there is much really powerful writing, and the story js more original and possesses moro real merit than a vast majority of tho fictions of the day. From Turner Drothor.s .v. Co. we have re ccived "Married Against Keason," by Mrs. Adelh"id Shelton-Mackenzie. Published by Loring, Boston. This is a story of iniddlo i'las life in Cermany, which will be consi dered an attractive addition to Loving's Kail way Library. It is, we believe, Mrs. Macken zie's first literary venture, and as such it is to be considered a success. The same house sends us Our liny and Girh for July and No. 10 of Tin Vwali4, containing "Tho Merriest Girl That's Out," j and other popular airs. "Zell's Topnlar Encyclopedia" has reached its 3Hd and IVlth numbers, which bring it down to the title "Lennettsville." Published by T. Ellwood Zell, Nos. 17 and W S. Sixth street. From T. R. Peterson & Urothers we have received "Tho Woman in lied," which is announced as a companion to "The Woman in White" and "The Woman in P.lack." This teems a great deal like trading on Wilkie Col lins' reputation, and in a very unjustifiable manner. The novel before us is in no sense a companion to "The Woman in White," which is a story of genuine power, whereas this is apparently the weak production of some hack roniance-writer. The story is anonymous, and we don't know who is respon sible for this wrong done to a writer of real genius, whether the author or tho publishers; but whoever the guilty party is, he should do so no more, if he does not wish to fall into the hands of the "old gentleman in black," who will be after him some of these days. From E. II. Butler & Co. we have re ceived "A Hand-Book of Map Drawing," by Peter Keam and John Mickloborough, and adapted to Mitchell's new series of school geographies. The principles of map drawing are set forth in a plain and understandable manner in this little manual, and it will prove a usef ul aid in tho study of geography. D. Ashmead sends us the fourth mouthly part of Ajqletunts Journal, which, in addition to Victor Hugo's remarkable romance, con tains a good selection of articles on a variety of interesting topics. The Jlieermle Magazine for August is tip to the usual mark of excellence. It is well illustrated, and presents an excellent series of stories, sketches, and poetry for young leaders. The Nursery has a variety of short pieces suited, to tho tastes of the very youngest readers, and it is made additionally attractive by plenty of pictures, which even those who cannot read will be able to understand. The Liltle- Corporal has an attractive table of contents, which will be appreciated by its innny readers. The Soutltcm Monthly Maya-due for Au gust is the first issue of a new venture in periodical literature. Tho magazine is dated from New Orleans, ifnd we are sorry that it is impossible to bestow any great amount of commendation upon it. The cover is an artistic atrocity, that is of itself sufficient to frighten any person of taste from further ex plorations; and, with every disposition to be as charitable as possible, wo are forced to state that the contents to not belie the exte rior. If our Southern friends wish to rival the literature north of Mason and Dixon's line, they will have to do better than this, as no appeals to sectional pride will induce intel ligent Southerners to purchase and read such nturT as this. l'orclKn I.llcrnry unil Art Mem. The librarian of St. Mark's, Venice. Mr. Joseph Valentinclll, has Issued the first volume of the Catalogue of Latin Mauuscripts in the librury. ''TlieFirseFurteof Clmrchyardcs Chippcs' " has been printed by Mr. Puynu Collier iu his Hluo Serieu. The original was published lu l.Y;. "iu Fleet street, near St. Dunstan's Church." An introductory notice of the work will appear with tho Second Part. The Atltnurum says: In tho entrance hall of tin liritinh Mubeiim has lately been placed a largo marble vai-eor hydria, and its richly-carved pedestal, iu all about ten feet high. This work jb of Koman execution, was found, much in lured, In Hadrian's villa, at I'alestrina, engraved by l'lranesi, purchased. by the trustees of the IJritlt-h Museum a lew years since, has been ro tored, and Is now before the public. Upon the body of tho vase are sculptured figures in rather high relief, of 6utyrs, fauns,' etc. which were designed with great spirit, uud composed, in many respects, from more an cient carvings. The execution of the reliefs is, in its way, very good, but not a lit tle academical or conventional, aud of tho highly finished sort. The stem of the vaso comprises dcini-llgurcb of Silenl Issuing below the bowl, aud from conventionalized legs of lions. These are counterchanged with busts of fauns. The base of the work is inferior to the stem, and comprises tho vulgar Roman skulls of bulls poorly designed aud wrought festoons. On tho whole, as a specimen of art of an inferior kind, und effective rather than flue, the new "ulpture is verv acceptable; but it ought to be aerjofi -crsir Wi " It lllc" AreEuuviice, tma m i;g waU derse, in f um- qnrivre of thin quality, tli'fl ntylfe of the dr.flgn Is vitiated, end tho wlmlc, however niiinptuoux, by no moans denlrutile as a model. We have pood news for the lovers of old Scotch literature not only Unit Mr. David bailiff's edition of Lvmlcsay's Work will be ready In the autumn, but that when It Is off the Hocks its conscientious and learned editor will at once undertake a fresh edition of his "Select Kcmains of the Ancient Popular Poetry of Scot land" a collection of the rarest ftcms of the literature, unequalled In valuo by anv like leathering. It Is strnnpo that so admirable a set of pieces should not have been reproduced since 18'.22, whn 108 copies only were printed. There Is pressing need of a new and popular edition, and we trust the appearance of it will not bo long delayed. Then can follow a now edition of the "Early Metrieal Talcs," and the other pieces that Mr. I.aln;r, in 1H0, announced his In tention of addinjr to the "Select Kemains." . M. Albert-Henri Monnler, well known as a writer of vaudevilles, extravaganzas, and tho like, has died in Faris, In his fifty-second year. Most of his works were written in conjunction with the late Kdouard Martin, or witli MM. Clalrvillc, Rltini, and Do Jall.-xis. Among tho best known of them are the spectacles of fcVn drilloa and liothaiuago, and the vaudevilles As lu lue le Mandarin? Chrt Hue I'i'lili: Dame and I'Aft'aire de la de VOnrcine. 1a' Ilalaillon lie la Monvtle, M. Mounter's one serious drama, was written. in conjunction with M.

On Sunday evening last, an old man named Daniel Dominrdner, who for many years had lived by himself in a little hut on tho bank of the Sandusky river, above Dallvillo, departed this life, lie was well known by our citizens, and esteemed as an honest and upright citizen; yet, while all know how and where ho lived, few knew the reasons for his hermit lifo. It was one of those singular cases, now and then developed, which give zest to the declaration oftentimes that "truth is stranger than fic tion." From one who was a near neighbor wo gather tho following particulars : He was horn on the mm oi April, near Frederick, Frederick county, Maryland, and was consequently in his eighty-eighth year at the time of his death. Ho was tho youngest son, nnd his father, who had been quite weaitny, Having proviueu ior me rest oi the family, reserved the home farm for the youngest son. Ho married, and residing on tho larm, had catnereu arouna mm a iamiiy of six children, when the father was induced to endorse for a son-in-law, who absconded, leaving him to pay the debt, in doing which , , .i ! ir: :r ... i'anici was leu penniless. wue, wuomo parents were wealthy, occasionally taunted Daniel with his poverty; yet ho, sensitive ana high-spirited, though he was poor, boro it until one day some fifty years ago. He had taken his horses and started to tho field to plough, but, brooding over the mat ter, tied them to the fence in tho field, and determined to quit the country. Ho turned his back upon his home, wife, children, and friends, and never more was seen in Frederick. Ilis absence occasioned alarm and inquiry, but his whereabouts were not known. Wandering about tho country for some years, he finally, forty-three years ago, took up his residence in Jiullville township. For nine years he lived in the family of John G. Hide out, of Ballvillc, and then he built for him self the little hut in which ho resided at the time of his death. For thirty-three years he lived there alone, seeking no information of his friends nor extending to them any knowledge of his whereabouts. Nine or ten years ago, however, one of our old citizens, who formerly had lived in Maryland, was back there on a visit, and hearing some con versation one day in relation to some one who had disappeared from the neighborhood so many years before, and who had never been heard from, inquired his name, and on being told it, recognized him as tho hermit Bomgardner. Daniel's oldest daugh ter had married well, aud upon learning that her father was still living, wrote to. him to induce his return, and subsequently her husband, about eight years ago, paid the old man a visit, remaining with him several days, and endeavored to get him to return with him, but all to no purpose Another effort was made about fivo years ago by a grandson, who visited him to get him to re turn, but he was resolute and would not. And so the years rolled on; tho old man grew older, and the once herculean frame became treiulous and fragile, yet still he maintained his solitary and secluded lifo. A few weeks ago he grew sick, but remained about his home until a week before his death, when he became so poorly that he had to take to his bed. He was then removed to tho residence of Mr. John Moore, where kind bauds minis tered to his wants, and when tho death-damp gathered on his brow, and tho feeble pnlso ceased to beat, strnugor hands performed tho sad office that loving hands fain would have done, lie was buried on Monday last. SEW ZEALAND. The Warfare AunluM I lie Knalixh Settlor-Do. mil ot (lie Kervnt iMuMn.crcN. The complete details of the last massacre in New Zealand, that at Mohaka, on the east coast, unfortunately prove that the earlier accounts of this catastrophe were not exaggerated. It ao pears that Te Kooli the leader who is so often made out to be dead, and so often rising ii'Min came down the -Mohaka river on tho Ktli of April with about three hundred men, and massacred most of the friendly natives of tho only two little villages in their route eight men and twelve women in one, four men and six women In the other. Some of those who escaped niado their way to two pahs, Jerusalem and lluki. aud the rebels then divided into three parties. The main party attacked the pahs, more especially lluki, which was the smaller; the second prepared to inter cept any aid that might bo attracted by the noise of the firing; and the third crossed the river shortly alter sunrise on tho 10th to wliero the huropcans were living, killing such of them as had not taken the alarm and tied, aud burn ing the houses of those who had. A6 to the English settlers who lost their lives, they were murdered on the opposite side of tho Mohaka river. Oi this melancholy affair little Is known save that some time during the morn ing of April 10 Ensign bavin, wife, and thre j children, together with Messrs. Cooper and Wil kinson, all settlers there, were attacked and murdered. Their houses, as well as those of several other settlers, were destroyed. A band of militia, 800 strong, set out for Mohaka on i.ho 11th, but they could accomplish nothing. ThU massacre has Incited the authorities to greater exertions, and a very bold campaign lias beeii opened on the cast coast and from thence to th j Interior. Kolillal.

Capture of n 11 From the Sew Orleans Picayune, July 15. On the 12th inst., while tho United States revenue cutter Wilderness was cruising in tho vicinity of Cat Island, Mississippi Sound, she fell in with two boats containing a party of officers from tho garrison at Ship Island, Miss., in tow of an immense devil-fish. Assist ance being asked in order to capture hiui, it was cheerfully granted, and after consideralilo labor the fish was safely hauled up at tho ship's tackle, and the vessel steaming to the island, his satanic piscatorial majesty was soon, on the beach. On examination he was found to somewhat resemble a stingaree, only instead of tho head coming to a point, the space between the eyes (three feet) forming the mouth was concave, the mouth itself measuring two feet in width; no teeth were visible. The tail was tho same as a stingareo without the sting; the color was a dark brown, nearly black on tho top and white underneath; measured twelve feet from head to tail, fourteen feet in breadth and two feet thick in the middle; his weight was estimated at from 1200 to 1"00 pounds. The history of the capture is briefly as fol lows: A party of officers fishing on tho pier discovered the fish close in shore, on the bot tom, apparently asleep. Colonel Z. E. Bliss, the commandant of tho post, an expert fisher man and whaler, was immediately summoned, and being provided with a number of har poons with lines attached, at once called for a boat in hopes to capture the fish. Proceed ing cautiously, tho Colonel's first throw struck tho monster, which at onco started for deep water with the boat in tow. A second and third iron was planted iu him, but still ho kept on. Another boat went to the assistance of the first, but notwithstanding the weight of the boats, with six persons iu each, they were picked up a distance of three miles from the island, the tish being then about dead. Four hours' time was consumed in the chase, and all the pnrties engaged completely ex hausted. Several attempts have been made to capture one of these fish, but few have been success ful, and but for the skill of Colonel Bliss with tho harpoons, this one would have been still uncaught.- A photograph of this curiosity was at onco made, and the Surgeon of the post, Dr. Ker per, will endeavor to preserve a portion of it for the benefit of science.
