THE: DAISY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, I860. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW HOOK 8. Clarke Dnvis. rubliHliod by 0. 1". Putnam A Won. Thin story, whic-h nr-iMaml in Putnam Magazine a few months ngo, has been ismiod complete in c,"g'nt ,,0"k form ,,y tbo pn''' liHbcrs. It is no cay mnttor to write n Hhort tory, B8 tbo iiiultitulo of failures that nre met with every day, nnd tbo very 1W iloui.led successes, nbunlantly testify. A utory, to bftvo any real value, must have Homothing Mow the surface; it must surest thirds that are not expressed; it must linve a clear, well defined outline, that to tbo imagination of tbo reader will indicate form iiml color. A short ptory in something, but not altogether, like an artist's sketch, and, like a sketch, it is of ton more satisfactory in its incompleteness than it finished work is iu its elaboration. The story that is told in this lit Ho work might rasily have been elaborated into a novel of tbo orthodox number of chapters, but it is doubt ful whether it would have been improved by Mich treatment. Mr. Davis gives four flcrncH, drawn with firm and decided hand, which reveal all the misery and woe of t wo life tragedies. Much is necessarily left to the imagination of the reader, but there is no dif ficulty in tilling up the outlines. The nubject is a largo one for so small a canvas, but' it is indicated with nil the necessary dis tinctness, and the few characters introduced are distinctly and finely drawn. There are many passages of eloquent aud forcible writing, and the shipwreck and rescue with which the story concludes is a vivid piece of description. With the skill of a genuine utory-teller, the author keeps bis mystery un reTealed until the last moment, when the dark clouds that bang about the stranded ship nre dispersed, and the old dark days of storm nnd terror are swept away. The story is one of singular interest, and those who read it while joing through the columns of the magazine, will find that it will well repay a second perusal. The Pictorial Field Book ok the War of 1H2, by llensou J. Lossing. Keceived from Claxton, ltemsen A: ILiflelliiiger. Mr. Lossing is the most popular historian f the dny, if not the most profound or always the most reliable. Even more eloquent with his pencil than with his pen, he sets forth Lis subject in a manner that is at once attrac tive and useful. The success of bis 'Ticto rial Field Book of the Revolution"' encou raged hiin to treat the war of IS u in a similar manner; and in his preface to the present volume be informs us that be has travelled more than ten thousand miles in this country and the Canadas, with note-book and pencil in band, visiting places of historic interest connected with the war oijisi:?, from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, gather ing up, recording, and delineating everything of special value not found in books illustra tive of the subject, nnd making himself fami liar with the topography and incidents of the battle-field. It is a great defect with this, as with the previous work of Mr. Lossing, that many of his statements rest upon mere hearsay evidence that has but little foundation in fact. This would be a radical defect if his works professed to be histories in the proper sense of the term; but if it is un derstood, as it should be, that they are merely collections of traditions aud scattered informa tion, the want of thorough reliability would not be of bo much moment. In spite of this, Mr. Lossing has succeeded in collecting much good grain with comparatively little chaff. Jlis narrative tbrows'a new light upon many of the events of the war of 1812; and as it is written in an attractive style, it will be likely to gain fully as much popularity as bis first work. The volume before us is a large octavo of 10S1 pages, fully illustrated by 882 designs. Many of them are from the author's own sketches, find many of these are from scarce and curious prints and documents of great value. A com plete index is given, which adds materially to the usefulness of the work. From Claxton, Remsen & Ilarlelfinger we have received several of their new publica tions. "The Three Berenices: or, Ausermo of the Cray," by Mrs. A. M. Bright. This Is a historical novel intended especially for young people, with a hope of weaning them from the lighter and less instructive fictions of the day. The story possesses considerable interest, and is well told, but the author takes some singular liberties with her subject. Jn order to free the sister of Agrippa from the odium that has been cast upon her char acter, three different Berenices are imagined, and as an excuse for making the mother of Hero eventually a Christian, she claims that no recorded truth is interfered with. Allow ing all due license to a professed work of fic tion, this is certainly stretching the proba bilities beyond the usually recognized limits. Notwithstanding that these facts are all ex plained in the preface, for the benefit of readers who go through a book "hop, skip, and jump," neither the device itself nor the apology can be considered as ingenious. As the author, however, hopcB that her work will "escape ill-natured criticism, bigotry's sage lebuke, and the mock wise censure of riniTcd-up presumption," we refrain from further comment. "Sydney Elliott," by Miss M. D. Nanman, is the first venture of a young author, which promises well for her future efforts in the same line. The endeavor has been to give a picture of real life, and, both in the con Btruction of the plot and in the characters, considerable ability is shown. The story has its crudities and evidences of inexperience, lnt for a first effort in the field of fiction it may bo pronounced a success. "Legends of Fairy Land," by Mrs. Anna Pache, is a collection of fairy tales drawn from various sources, all of which, however, will . benew, tojbe majority of juvenile jrewlers. Two of thohtorios the autnor claims as her own, modestly adding, "I sny, so far as Iknmr; for I boliove that often what we think originality is merely unconscious re collccliop, escaping, like the genius of tno 'Arabian Nights,' vapory and undefined from the unsealed vase of , memory, and con densed into shape while the thinker gaze on it." ' All the stories are well told, however, and it will lie a valuable addition to many a jnvonile library. "Sea'JJrift," by Fadctte, is an entertaining juvenile story of adventure, which will doubtless find plenty of appreciative readers. The same house send us "Hetty," a new novel, by Henry Kingsley; "Love Me Little, Love Mo Long," cheap paper edition of Charles Reade's romance: and "The Philoso phy of Teaching," by Nathaniel Sands. This is n brief but valuable treatise on the subject of education, which is well worthy of the pe rusal of teachers mid others who are inte rested in tin' proper development of our school system. From I'orter ,V Conies we have received "Claude Gueux" nnd "Tbo Last Days of n Condemned Man,' by Victor Hugo. These two works are the vigorous protests ngninst cnpital punishment published by Victor Hugo in 82!i. We bdieve that they have never before been translated into English, but they nre well worthy of t lie perusal of thoughtful persons of all opinions on this subject. The volume before us is a reprint from the Kng lish publication, and the style in which it is gotten up does no credit to the American publishers. The snnie bouse sends us Tin Kaht'lo KC'tpc. This is a delicately-printed little pamphlet of ,".2 pages, with literary contents that do not rise above the feeblest medi ocrity. It is described ns nn 'intermittent periodical," and professes to be edited by the "Brothers Triplex." The whole, affair is a very weak imitation of "Salmagundi," ami the Brothers Triplex are palpable copies of "Launcelot Langstaff," "Anthony Ever green," and "Will Wizazd." Most of the illustrations are good, especially the frontis piece, which is a very graceful piece of fancy. A good many of them, however, have been seen before in the pages of Viiu'ti Fti!r, nnd n large proportion of the jokes appear to have been borrowed from tho same source. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have received "Daisy," by the author of "Wul", "Wide World." This is the second series of an interesting story of the late Rebellion, by one of the most popular writers of the dny. Miss Warner is always a pure and forcible writer, and her fictions iue a healthy tone, while at the snme time they are free from the sum ninrizing nnd moralizing which too often destroy the influence of works of this class thnt seek to rise above the low tone of many of the popular novels of the day. "Tho Countess Gisela" translated from the German of E. Marlitt by Mrs. A. L. Wister, i the first instalment of a fine story of German life and character, which promises to be tho best work by this author that has yet been given to the American public. The Proof Me, t, published by Collins & M'Leester, commenced its third volume with the July number. This little pamphlet is a beautiful Hpcc.imcn of typography, and, as usual, it has a number ot well-written arti cles on a variety of interesting subjects. From Turner Brothers & Co. we have received Aj'jihtou'-s Joiirual for August 7. Scientific INotes. Action of the Cuticle of Plants. M. Barthelemy has applied the principle of osmosis in explaining plant respiration. In plnnts there exists a cuticle which has a chemical composition nnd a physical constitu tion somewhat resembling caoutchouc. It is not found at the stomata on tho under sur face of leaves. As the exhalation of the oxygen is greatest when sunlight falls on the upper surface of leaves, Barthelemy explains this by supposing that the respiration takes place through the cuticle of the upper surface, while the stomata or pores of the under sur face perhaps absorb only nitrogen. Hearing Ouuans or Crustacea. Sir John Lubbock, in discoursing on Crustacea, says: We do not understand how they see, smell, or hear; nor are entomologists entirely agreed as to the function or the structure of the anton n;e. This interesting subject offers a most pro mising field for study, and I would particularly call the attention of entomologists to a remark able memoir by Hensen, on the auditory organ in the decapod Crustacea. Blensen has shown that the otolithes in tho open auditory sacs of shrimps are foreign particles of sand, introduced into tho organ hy the aniiiud iUclf. lie proved this very ingeniously by placing a shrimp in filtered water, without any saud, but with crystals of uric acid. Three hours alter the animal li.td moulted he found that the sacs contained many of these crystals. M. Hensen has also shown that each hair in the auditory sac is susceptible of being thrown into vibration by a particular note, which is probably determined by tho length and thick ness of the hair. It may be experimentally shown that certain sounds throw particular hairs into rapid vibration, while those around them remain perfectly still. Douiile Reiiiaciion. Professor Tynd til, in a recent lecture "On Light," at the Royal Institution of London, thus very clearly ex plains the phenomenon of double refraction, according to the theory that all luminous effects are the result of undulations of a highly attenuated and subtle fluid which per vades all space nnd permeates nil ponderable matter: -"In air, water, aud well-annealed glass, luminiferous ether has the same elas ticity in all directions. There is nothing in tho molecular grouping of these substances to interfere with the perfect homogeneity of the einer. imi wnen tuo water crystallizes to ice, the case is different; here the molecules are constrained by their proper forces to arrange themselves in a certain determined manner. They are, for example, closer together in some directions than iu others. This arrangement of the molecules carries along with it an ar rangement of tho surrounding ether, which causes it to pof-sess different degrees of elas ticity in different directions. In a pl ite of ice, for instance, tbo elasticity of the ether, in a direction perpendicular to tne plauo of freezing, is different from its elasticity in a plane parallel to the same surface. Thin dif ference is displayed in a striking manner by Iceland spar, which is crystallized carbonate of lime; und in consequonce of two different elasticities, a wave of light passing through the spar is divided into two tho one rapid, corresponding to the greater elasticity, and the other slow, corresponding to the lesser elasticity. Where tho velocity is greatest, tho refraction is least, and where the velocity is least the refraction is greatest. Hence in Ice land spar, as wo have two waves moving with different velocities, wo have double refrac tion. This is also true of the greater number of crystalline bodies. If the grouping of tho molecules bo not in all directions alike, the ether will not be in all directions equally elastic, Rud double refraction will infulUHy ICfiUlt, HOMES IN TI1C SOUTH. A Now Hntlemcnf In North ('nrollnn-fJrent ImproTrnu'iitw Alrcndv illridr Northern Kn lcrpr1o Tim Administration of ihc Irfi wm. Frem Otw Own CorrthpondenU Raleigh. July 2".. No better evidence can be adduced that there le a larc Northern population seeking lands and homes In the South than presents Itself at the new RhlRwny KCttlcmcnt, on the Raleigh and Caston Railroad. In this State, fortv mile from Weldon and ftfiy-seven mile from this city, the capital ot the State. The Riduway Improvement Company was organized In October, 1SHS, anil on the 12th of April last the town was Incorpo rated. The company has n capital of iHOO.OOO, and nt its head, as president, Is the inde fatigable President of the Ralcinh nnd Oas ton Railroad Company, Dr. William J. Haw kins. The company purchased fifteen thousand acres, and Up to this period have disposed of upwards of two thousand, in small farms, to actual settlers. These settlers nre generally from the North, and from the State of Penn sylvania, Ohio. New Jerey, New York, Dela ware. Massachusetts, and New Hampshire alone there are sixty-one men. During the fall of this year these parties will bring their families down, and then Jlidgway will have a Northern popula tion of from two to three hundred souls. The town of Riduway forms a complete circle of one mile from the central point, or two miles in diameter. It Is situated in three different townships in Warren county, called Notbush, Merry Mount, and Warrenton. four miles from Warrenton, the county scat, and the site selected is high, commanding, and finite healthy. Ridg way is thirty miles from (iaston, the point at which the old Greenville Railroad commences and extends sixty miles to Petersburg. This road is run twice a week for freight and local passen gers, nnd is important in view of the future growth and prosperity of Ridgway. From (ias ton the "Roanoke Uatteaux Company" trans ports fertilizers, farm products, agricultural pro ducts, and passengers up the Uoanokc river, ninety miles to New lioston, and is doing quite iv trade through that excellent country. Ridgway is being handsomely laid out under the direction of Chauncey Tucker, of New York, a gentleman of experience in grading aud open ing up highways. It contains a public park of ten acres, around which a railing has been placed, walks laid out aud otherwise adorned, and a wide street of one hundred feet surrounds it. In the limits of the town and suburbs up wards of 2-")0,0X peach trees have been planted by the company, besides many acres of straw berry plants, blackberry plants, apples, pears, cherries, etc., nnd a large number have been under cultivation with early vegetables. The lands have all been worked according to North cm principles of agriculture nnd horticulture, und the system is being followed by the fanners for miles round. Some of these lands have sold for fOO per acre, and as high as $73 per acre have been offered for choice localities aud re fused. Already the St. Pierre Hotel has reared its head, and early next month will be thrown open to the public. It is quite a large brick editice, and will doubtless pay. Messrs. Huey iV. Robb, the former from Chester couuty, Pa., aud the latter from Wil mington, Deb, have a factory 40 by GO feet, In which they manufacture staves and headings. They employ sixty hands in the mill and woods, and turn out 30,000 staves and headings per day. Messrs. Cunningham Bros Mr. H. C. from New Hampshire (formerly cashier, for thrco years, of the Iloosac tunnel), and Mr. William H. from Chester count', Pennsylvania also have an cxtcn.-ive factory for making handles for mining companies in California and Austra lia. They employ forty hands, and turn out seventy-live dozen handles pur day, all of which arc consigned to the well-known house of Bea ton fc Dcnckla, on Commerce street, Philadel phia. At both these establishments white and colored men work and labor side by side, aud Mr. W. H. Cunningham informs me that they are equally efllcient, aud receive the same wages for the same kind of service. There is one church building in Ridgway, used alternately by the Presbyterians aud Methodists, the former having Rev. Dr. Scott, formerly of Little Washington, Pa., for pastor, and the latter Rev. Mr. Wcstbrook. Both these de nominations, ns well us the Episcopalians and Baptists, will soon erect convenient houses of worship, as the Ridgway Company have guaran teed to donate the ground and one-fourth the expense of erecting any church iu the town. The town lots nre 100 by 200 feet, and sell readily at from 100 to $200 each, according to the locality. The recent decision of the Supreme Court of I North Carolina In reference to the legality or constitutionality of the subscriptions made by ! the General Assembly of the State ta the various rauronuj companies to carry lorward and com plete the various projects of internal improve ments from 1848 to the present time, has created a vast deal of excitement here and elsewhere. The Chief Justice, R. M. Pearson, delivered the opinion of the Court, sustained bv the full bench. The decision legalizes tho following bonds, and renders them equally good: Twenty millions of dollars created previous to the Rebellion (called the old debt), with accrued Interest, funded. 7,000,000 to the Western Division of the West ern Extension of tho North Carolina Railroad, leading from Aslieville, beyond the Blue Ridge, to Ducktowu, in Tennessee", and Paint Rock, in Madison couuty. North Carolina, on the Ten nessee line. 4,000,000 bonds to the Wilmington, Charlotte, nnd Rutherford Railroad, from Wilmington, running along the South Carolina line, through Charlotte nnd Rutherfordton, thence through Henderson aud Transylvania counties to Aslie ville, in the county of "Buncombe. Ouc-third of this road is built und in operation. 2,MK),000 bonds to the Favettevillc and West ern Railroad, from Eirvpt, in Chatham county, the centre of the coal fields, to Greensboro, in Guilford county, and Salisbury, in Rowan county, to be hereafter located us the survevs may justify. This road is in operation fro.n Egypt to rayetteville, 45 miles -t 1,440,000 bonds to the Northwestern Railroad, from Greensboro, via Salem, in Forvth county (the old Moravian settlement), to Mount Airy, in Surry county, the headwaters of the Yadkin valley, 72 miles. This road Is nearly graded trom Greensboro to Salem, 21) miles, and in six months will be In operation the first direct movement by the State to reach the rich vail ey of the Yadkin river. The Atlantic, Tennessee, aud Ohio Railroad, from Charlotte via Statesville, through Caldwell county, in the northwestern portion of tho State, had a subscription made to that kwporu tion of l,no0,OW). This is thought to bo good, nnd doubtless will soon be declared so, but It is still in doubt from the technicality of a change in the corporate title. These nre. in the lan guage of the Constitution, "unfinished works." No further debt, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, can bo incurred, except through the approval of tho people of the Slate at a special election to be held for that purpose. Tho debt of the State, according to this decision, does nut exceed thirty-five millions of dollars, and Is not like to be lucreased for any purposes what- Vpi' " 1 l"08o Known at present. rTOJrffiMS: Tii..,....i...i...::.r. . . i son's (ivvi-ilvu, are 9 foiiowe: 2,000,000 bonds to tho Chatham Railroad, from the coal fields In Chatham county to Cheraw, In South Carolina. This road would have been about seventy miles iu length, but no work has ever been done. f:iOO,000 bonds to the University Railroad, from Durham, on the North Carolina Railroad, to Chapel Hills, 8 milesnever commenced. 2,0(0,000 bonds to thu Eastern and Western Railroad, from Henderson, In Granville county, on the Raleigh nnd Gaston Railroad, along the Irglnia line to Mount Airv, in Surrv county, the headwaters of the Yadkin never commenced. .'0,oiH bonds to the F.dcnton and Suffolk i.ailroad. from Edenton in Chowan county, on Albemarle Sound, to Suffolk. Virginia, on the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, making 5.150. -000, which falls under the nelion of the Supreme Court. So far ns the 'unfinished works" nre con cerned (as in each easo a special tax has been levied), the taxes collected will be set apart by the State Treasurer and paid, ns Interest on tho bonds created forrnch. and rendered legal bv the Supreme Court. This fact nnd the action of the 1 reasurcr. made imperative by the Legislature, will render these bonds more valuable than the old bonds, as in this case the payment of the interest becomes certain when diie. in conse quence of this special appropriation for that specific purpose, and In the case of the old bonds the accrued and niaturinsr interest cannot or will not be paid unless the Treasurer lias or may have sufficient fund in his hands to meet the interest alter paying all the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the State Govern ment. From all the information I can irather it seems certain that the interest on the old or 20,000,000 debt of the Stale will have to be funded, cer tainly for one, and perhaps for two years. It now appears that the mistake was that the State, in her anxiety to meet her debt, commenced too soon to pay the Interest after tho close of tho war. The only payment made on the old debt was f:i00,000 of interest in October, 1808. Tho Interest was always paid promptly previous to the Rebellion, and North Carolina bonds com manded a premium nt their then (1801) par vaiuc in goiu. Governor H olden has shown me a mass of cor respomience received yesterday and to-day trom Rockingham county, in this State, detailing the particulars of several outrages perpetrated In that county by panics well known to the local authorities. Among these luminous acts, one occurred on the . 5th inst.. two miles southwest of Thompsonville, by which a poor white wo man was taken from the house of a colored family named Randolph, and subjected to the most terribly brutal and indecent conduct im nginable, in the presence of her own father. On tlie !i4th inst., near Rucc's Cross-roads, several men, iu masks, appeared at the house of n colored man named Moses Lomax, and dclUie ratcly fired through the cabinS and shot a duiiirh ter of Lomax through the skull, from the effects of which she died instantly. They then entered nnd began to beat the inmates indiscriminately Soon after Caroner Calvin Freddy empanelled a jury and mvcstig-ued the case, resulting in testimony, alleged to be clear and undoubted, from reputable citizens of Rockingham county. that this woman, Mary Lomax, hud been bru tally murdered; Lindsay Cuminings. a colored man, badly beaten; and" Mobcs, Charlotte, and Isaac Lomax, and Phyllis Cummings, injured by these raiders. It was further stated to the Governor that these men, whose names are given as Patrick Simpson, Thomas Hutson, and an Barhnru, are still nt large, and that the Coroner's jury have been unable to agree upon a verdict through fears of intimidation. This informa tion comes to Governor 1 olden from such well known citizens of Rockingham couuty as Thomas A. Ragland, C. J. L. Williams. . Groom, and Hon. Thomas Settle, one of the judges of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, all of whom have joined in an urgent appeal to the uovernor to send troops into Kocumgham couuty nnuiedintory, to put an end to those out rages and to assist the local authorities to nrrcst and bring to justice the perpetrators of these bold offenses ngainst the laws und well-being of society. In view of all the facts referred to, Governor Holdeu despatched Adjutant-General Fisher this afternoon to the scene of disturbances with two hundred stand of arms, and authority to organize a battalion of militia (half white aud half black') to assist the Sheriff in the arrest of these raiders and bring them to trial. The militia are to be under the immediate control of the Adjutant-General, and from our knowledge of that officer, he will do his whole duty aud protect the citizens of Rockingham in the enjoy ment of all t.ieir social and domestic rights. From all the facts I can gather, these disturb ances have not grown out of polities, but a devilish spirit of wickedness on the part of a few bad men, who ought to be summarily dealt with according to the severest tests aud punish ments of the law. All the detailed militia under arms in North Carolina were withdrawn from Jones, Lenoir, nnd other counties, nnd disbanded several d:ys ngo, under the impression that everything was quiet within the limits of the State, and the full conviction that there would be no further use for troops to quell disturbances. It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true, that the General Government declined giving arms to the Governor of this State, nnd that the three thou sand muskets he has had under his control, for purposes of protection, were kindly loaned him by the Governor of oue of the Northern States.
