THE. DAlLr EVENING TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1870. literatuhii. REVIEW OF NEW HOOKS. "Monsienr Sylvestre," which we have re ceived from Turter k Coatea, is the third volume of the very elegant edition of George Band s novels in course cf publication Vy Ro berts Brothers. This is ft recent work, and it , is an admirable specimen of the mature Btyle of the distinguished authoress. The Btory is told in a series of letters, and much of it is taken up with discussions of the philo sophical and social questions of the day, which are particularly interesting as showing the direction of the best French thought of the present day. The various characters are sketched with all of Madame Sand's old skill, and the book is full of charming descriptions of scenery, while a captivating little love prob lem is worked out in a most satisfactory man ner. The book is one that lovers of first class fiction will relish keenly, especially as it is open to none of the objections that miy with propriety be urged against some of the earlier performances of the same author. rorter & Coates also send us "An Index to Harper's Neio Monthly Magazine," which includes volumes I to XL, or from June, 18.10, to May, 1870. We spoke of the merits of this "Index" a few days ago, and it is not necessary to say more at the present time than that it will be invaluable to any one who possesses or has access to a complete set of Harfer's Magazine from its commencement to the end of the fortieth volume. Godey's Lady's Book has always been famous for . the excellence of its household receipts, 'and there are many careful house keepers who .keep well-arranged scrap books in which the directions given in Godey's Lady's Book for making toothsome compounds are regularly entered. To all such and to a multitude of others a cordial welcome, will be extended to "The Godey's Lady's Book Receipts and Household Hints," by S. Annie Frost, which has just been issued by Evans, Stod dart & Co. These receipts have been care fully selected from those which have appeared ia the pages of Godey during a long period of years, and many of the most valuable have never been given in any other publication. To those who are acquainted with the pecu liarly excellent manner in which the house hold department of Godey's Lady's Book has been conducted for nearly half a century, the title of this book will be an all-sufficient re commendation for it. Oar opportunities for making a practical demonstration of the value of these receipts are comparatively limited, but they certainly read well, and we can un hesitatingly give our opinion as to the sound ness of the culinary doctrines set forth in the following couplets which we find near ths end of the volume: p "Always have lobster sauce with salmon, And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on. 'Veal cutlets dip In egg and bread crumb, Fry till you see a brownish red come. "Orate Gruyere cheese on macaroni ; Make the top crisp, but not too bony. "In dressing salad mind this law With two hard yolks use one ol raw. "Roait pork, sans apple sauce, past doubt, " Is hamlet with the i'rince left out. "Broil lightly your beefsteak to fry It Argues contempt for christian diet. "To roast sprlHg chickens is to spoil 'em Just split 'em down the back and broil 'em," There is a complete index to the book, which adds to its practical value. "Almost a Friest," by Mrs. Julia McNair "Wright, published by McKinney & Martin, is an exceedingly coarse and vulvar attack upon the Catholic Church and its clergy, which will influence none but the ignorant and vulgar, and which intelligent people, whether Catho lics or not, will only smile at. The Catholic Church, without doubt, has many sins of omission and commission to answer for, but such a work as the one before us, so far from having a tendency to create a reform, will only be likely to increase the bitterness of sectarian prejudices that already exist to the scandal of Christianity. "Almost a Friest" is a book that will do no one any good, while so far as Its influences extend it will undoubt edly do harm. "Lost Abroad," by George Alfred Town tend, published by 8. M. Betts & Co., has been received from J. Bigelow & Co., No. 7ii0 Bansom street. Mr. Townsend has his faults as a writer, doubtless, but he never theless is one of the very best newspaper cor respondents of the day, and the productions of his pen are always lively and interesting. In his present literary venture-he has worked up some of his European experiences in the form of a story, and in an animated and picturesque narrative which hai con siderable merit merely as a story he gives an exceedingly cntertain ng .sketch of adventures by land and sea that will doubtless prove as attractive to k multitude of readers as it has to us. Part 44 of "Zell's Popular Encyclopedia" reaches the title "Paraguay." This valuable work of reference is now rapidly approaching completion, and we again cordially commend it as the cheapest, and in some particnlarr the most coaaplete book of reference ever pub lished. Those who wish to obtain it at sub scription rates should do so at once, as the pi ice will nndonbtedly be raised after it is entirely issued from the press. The October number of lite Fkiladd fMa Tltctoyrafh.tr gives as its "specimen" a card of forty-eight of the exquisite "gems from German life" by Loerscher fc Petsch, of Berlin, from reduced negatives. The number contains many valuable hints on the subject of photography that commend it to the atten tion of those who wish to keep up with the latest developments of the art. Van Nostrand's JCclectic Engineering Magazine for October has an interesting series of articles selected, from the bett foreign engineering publications. .

(nmrnlin Whlih Preceded Jrmin Onirlnl itepert pf the Prtllmlnnry .Hove in r nl. The German official report of the opera tions that resulted in the battle of Sedan is as follo'ws: - The long delay of the French main array at Metz permitted us to light the battles of the 14th. Kith, and 1Mb. ult. in the immediate neighborhood of that fortress, and cut off General Bazaine from all communications with Paris or any other part of France. But there remained a considerable portion of the French forces ready for further action. In consequence of the introductory operations of the campaign, the two eorps MaoMahon and Donay, as well as The corp3 Failly, dis patched to their assistance from the capital, bad been entirely separated from the main army. These troops retreated to Chalous, where the 12th Corps was then forming under General Trochu, while another, the 1Mb, was being organized by General Viuoy near Paris. With its .large depots Chalons was the very place in which to repair the losses of the regiments that had been already under fire, as also to organize the fresh rein forcements sent there from different parts of the country. The corutuand of the new army, consisting of these various bodies, was entrusted to General MacMahon, the Emperor being at bis headquarters. A bile such measures were being taken bv the enemy, those Prussian corps not required before Metz had continued to advance in a westerly direction. The ;'d Army, under the command of the Crown Prince of Prussia, which had been steadily pushing on all the while, now proceeded with greater rapidity. In its onward march it was accompanied by a new nrmy formed of a portion of the forces under Prince Frederick Charles, and placed under the Crown Prince of Saxony. Both these armies, the latter of which consisted of the Guards and 4th and 12th Corps d'Aruiee, marched in the direction of Paris. It would have been decidedly desirable if tbey had found their way blocked up by the' French, and if a battle could have been fought on the road to the capital. Marshal MacMahon might have awaited us in a strong position, or under the very ramparts of Paris. Another course open to him was to assume the offen sive with a view to rescue General Bazaine. As much depended upon our ascertaining the- intentions of the enemy as soon as possible, our cavalry were sent far in advance of the army to watch his move ments. Up to the 2 1th of August the Mar shal held the camp of Chalons. The two Prussian armies, not allowing their advance to be delayed by the fortifications of Verdun, marched straight on, and had already reached the line Clermont-Vitry, when, just as they were concentrating preparatory to the attack upon Chalons, news arrived on the 2."th which rendered it probable that MacMahon had evacuated his camp. He was reported to have taken the road to Iiheims. One of the inferences to be deduced from this was that, picking his way along the narrow strip of land between the Belgian frontier and the right wing of the Croivn Prince of Saxony, the Marshal might possibly attempt to relieve Metz. It was evident that if the proper measures were taken instan taneously by us, the Marshal would find it very difficult to succeed in his enterprise. Accordingly, 1 our ad vance upon Paris was suspended on the night of the 25th. On the 20th, the sth Corps d'Aimee, which had been marching west, effected a change of front, and, turning north, prepared to intercept the enemy on his march along our flank. The difficulties of this movement were increased by oar march lying partly through the Argoono forest. Care was, moreover, taken t pre vent the enemy from falling back upon Paris, in case he should find it impossible to pene trate to Metz. Supposing our being able to surround MacMahon, he would be obliged to fight under the most unfavorable conditions, or to find safety for his army in Belgium. The Corps Vinoy not having as yet arrived, we had a great numerical superiority over the French, then estimated at about 120,000; but it was not so easy for us to bring up our forces in time to use them. While our troops were approaching from a considerable dis tance, it became certain that MacMahon had really a flank march in view. On the 2t)th, his four corps were stationed on the two roads from Le Chene to Stenay, two being eche lonnes on each. On that day our troops ex tended from Grand Pre to Stenay, our van being injront of the enemy. The 12th Corps d'Armee by the engagement at Nouart, prevented the most easterly division of the French from continuing its march. Under these circumstances, Marshal MacMahon had only to choose between fighting on the left or the right bank of the Meuse, in which latter case he would be able to profit by the vicinity of Sedan, ne chose the latter alternative, and on the 30th df August began to cross the Meuse. Before his retreat could be effected, the left wing was attacked by the Crown Prince of Saxony at Beaumont, and his rear surprised at Mou zon. The French corps sent to the rescue of the latter force suffered much in crossing the river in presence of out troops. What fol lowed is Known. We may add that from what has recently come to light, MacMahon's array was not 120,000 strong, as had been supposed, but very nearly ir.0,000." LION. The "Exalted" French Pntrlot who Blew Up the Jlaciizlue A correspondent writes: It is now acknowledged that the command ant of Laon did not blow up the citadel, and a brave officer's name is - cleared from re proach. I do not mean to say that he was reproached here for an act that would have been treason; on the contrary, the journals praised him highly, and even went so far as to charge him with having invited the Prus sians into the chateau after he had signed the surrender, in order to blow them up. Now it is said that the act was performed by a private in the artillery named Henriot, and the Figaro says that his name should be inscribed in letters of gold in the annals of France. It is confessed, however, that he has been for some time in a state of patriotic exaltation. He was an old soldier, decorated at Alma, and was the guard of the magazine. Had the commandant refused to surrender, and had he blown up the fortress when the enemy was assaulting it, no fault could be found with the aot, but the place had been given up when the explosion took place. The words "patriotic exaltation" give . us a com plete key to this mystery. It turns out that the French loss was far more serious than that of the enemy, for near three - hundred of the Mobile were killed and wounded.
