TFL DAILY KVamNQ TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1871. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. A collection of French lore flongi would perhaps not be complete if it did not inolo.de ome effusions which deoent people -cannot look upon with favor, but it ia to be regretted that the aelections translated from the writings of Baudelaire, A. de Masaet, Latnartine, V. Hugo, A. Chenier, II. Gautir, Beranger, Tamy, Nadaud, Dupout and others, by Harry CurweD, whioh have been issued in a pretty volume by Carleton, do not deserve unqaali ed praise by the absence of some half-dozen pieces which make the colleotion unfit to be placed in the hands of young and inexpe rienced readers. If it was a crime to write euch pieces, it was equally a crime to translate them; and the translator cannot shelter himself from blame by referring to the example of those who have rendered into English the impurities of the classical authors. Two wrongs never make a right; and as the poems referred to in the present volume are the products of dis eased imaginations and appeal only to tastes the most depraved, they had much better have been allowed to remain undisturbed in the native nastiness of their original French. The great majority of the poems are not only entirely unobjectionable, but they are dis tinguished by a grace and delicacy which are particularly Frencby in the best sense of the word. The translator appears to have admi rably preserved the spirit of his originals, and the volume will give an excellent idea of some of the finest utterances of the best of the modern French erotio poets. For sale by Torter & Coates. The first part of a story, entitled "St. Ceoilia," published by J. B. Lippincott&Co., introduces a heroine of attractive personal and intellectual quali ties, whose adventures are made the occasion of somewhat elaborate disoussions on educa tion, theology, politics, and divers other sub. jects. It is impossible to critioize the work in its unfinished state, or to divine the exaot aim of its author, who appears, however, to be rather more of an essayist than a novelist, and we await the concluding part before ex pressing a decided opinion. Although it ap pears to be imperfect as a mere novel, and somewhat crudely constructed, "Saint Cecilia" is written with much ability, and there is information if not profundity in some of the dissertations upon things in general which interrupt the current of the narrative. "In Exile," translated from the German of W. Von St., published by J. B. Lippinoott &Co.,is an elaborate romance of German life, which contains some well-sketched char acters and some excellent descriptions of scenery and incidents. The plot is rather misty, however, and the novel appeals to the tastes of others than those who incline to the sensational in romance. "Heartseane," in two volumes, is the second issue of the complete and uniform series of the writing of Miss Yonge whioh has been commenced by D. Appletoa & Co. This story, although it has never had the same popularity as "The Heir of Redolyff e, is highly esteemed by a large cirole of read ers, and it is deserving of a permanent place on the shelves of any library. For sale by Torter & Coates. "Affixes in their Origin and Application, exhibiting the Etymologio Structure of English Words," by S. S. Haldeman, pub lished by E. H. Butler & Co., is a new and revised edition of a valuable work wbich ought to be in the hands of every student of the English language. It explains in the clearest possible manner the etymologio con nections of the affixes of the English language, and is arranged so as to introduce the whole subject in an understandable manner to the attention of the student. In this revised edition an index of illustrative words is added, and the lists of prefixes and suffixes have been greatly extended. This work is gotten up in unusually elegant and tasteful style, and the student will find it both ornamental and useful. Charles Desilver publishes a new edition of "Prayers for the Use of Families," by Rev. Albert Barnes. This selection of prayers and hymns is made up from the writings of some of the most celebrated religious writers, and is prefaced by an eBsay on Family Prayer from the pen of the compiler. The work is so well known that it needs no special com mendation. It is now, as it has been for the last twenty years, one of the most popular works of the kind before the publio. T. B.

In his paper entitled "Lee at Gettysburg,'' General J. D. Imboden makes an interesting and important contribution to the history of the Ilebellion. We extract the following Btriking picture of "Lee after Gettysburg": When night closed upon the grand scene our army as repulsed. Silence aad gloom pervaded our camps. We knew that the day hnd goLe against us, bat the extent of the disaster was not known except in high quar ters. The carnage of the day was reported to have been frightful, but our army was not in retreat, and we all ourmised that with to morrow's dawn would come a renewal of the struggle; and we knew that if such was the case, those who had not been in the tight would have their full share in the honors and the dangers of the next day. All felt and appre ciated the momentous consequences of tiual defeat or victory on that great field. These considerations made that, to as, one of those solemn and awful nights that every one who fought through our long war sometimes expe rienced before a great battle. ' Few camp fires enlivened the scene. It was a warm summer's night, and the weary sol diers were lying in groups on the luxuriant grass of the meadows we occupied, discussing the events of the day or watcuing that their horses did not straggle off in browsing around. About 11 o'clock a horseman ap proached and delivered a message from General Lee, that he wished to see me imme diately. I mounted at once, and, accompa nied by Lieutenant McPhail of my staff, and guided by the courier, rode about two miles towards Gettysburg, where half a dozen small tents on the roadside were pointed out a General Lee's headquarters for the night. Ha was not there, but I was informed I would find him with General A. P. Hill half a mile fur ther on. On reaching the plaoe indicated, a flickering, solitary caudle, visible through the open front of a common tent, showed where Generals Lee and Hill were seated on camp stools, with a county map spread upon their knees, and engaged iu a low and earnest con versation. They ceased speaking as I ap proached, and after the ordinary salutations General Lee directed me to go to his head quarters and wait for him. He did not re turn until about 1 o'clock, when he came riding alone at a slow walk and evidently wrapped in profound thought. There was not even a sentinel on duty, and no one of his staff was about. The moon was high in the heavens, shedding a flood of upon the oooue. Wben Uo approached aud saw us, be spoke, reiued np his horse, and essajed to dismount. The effort to do so betrayed so much physical exhaustion that I stepped forward to assist him, but before I reached him he had alighted. He threw his arm across his saddle to rest himself, aud fixing his eyes upon the ground, leaned iu silence upon his equally weary horse; the two forming a striking gnup, as motionless as a statue. The moon Rhone full upon his massive features, and revealed an expression of sadness I had never seen upon that fine countenance before, in any of the vicissi tudes of the war through which he had passed, I waited for him to speak until the silence became painful and embarrassing, when to break it, and change the current of his thoughts, I remarked in a syuipi'betio tone, and in allusion to his great fatigue: "General, this has been a hard day you." ' on This attracted his attention. He looked np and replied mournfully: "Yes, it has been a sad, sad day to us," and immediately relapsed into his thoughtful mood and attitude. Being unwilling again to intrude upon his reflections, I said no more. After a minute or two he suddenly straightened up to his full height, and turn ing to me witli more animation, energy, and excitement of manner than I had ever seen in him before, he addressed me in a voioe tremulous with emotion, and said: "General, I never saw troops behave more magnificently than Pickett's Division of Vir ginians did to-day in their grand charge upon the enemy. And if they had been supported, as they were to have been but, for some reason not yet fully explained to me, they were not we would have held the position they so gloriously won at auoh a fearful loss of noble lives, and the day would have been ours." After a moment he added in a tone almost of agony: "Too bad! Too bad! Oh, too bad!" I never shall forpet, as long as I live, his language, and his manner, and his appearance and expression of mental suffering. Alto gether it was a scene that a historical painter might well immortalize had one been fortu nately present to witness it. In a little while he called np a servant from his sleep to take his horse; spoke mournfully, by name, of several of his friends who had fallen during the day; and when a candle hd been lighted invited me alone into his tent, where, as Boon as we were seated, he re marked: "We must return to Virginia. As many of our poor wounded as possible must be taken Lome. I have sent for you because your men are fresh, to guard the trains back to Virginia. The duty will be arduous, responaibU, and dangerous, for X am afraid you will be bar assed by tne enemy s cavalry. l can spare you as much artillery as you require, but no other troops, as I shall need all I have to return to the Potomao by a different route from yours. All the transportation and au the care of the wounded will be intrusted to you. You will recross the mountain by the Cbambersburg road, and then proceed to Williaiupport by any route you deem best, without halting. There rest and feed your men and animals, then ford the river, and make no belt till you reach Winchester, where I will again comojunioate with you." After a good deal of conversation he sent for his chiefs of staff and ordered them to have everything ia readiness for me to take command the next uuaming. remarking to me that the general instruc tions he Lad given would be sent to me next day in writing. As I was about leaving to return to my camp, he cime out of his tent and said to me in alow tone: "I will place in your bands to-morrow a sealed package for President Davis, whioh yon will retain ia your own possession till yoa are across the Potomao, when you will detail a trusty com missioned officer to take it to Richmond with all possible despatch, and deliver it immedi ately to the President, I impress it upon j oti that whatever happens this package must not fall into the bands of the enemy. If you should unfortunately be captured, destroy it." On the morning of the 4th my written in structions and the package for Mr. Davis were delivered to me. "NUItlHXEIt'M MONTHLY."

From Mr. Bigelow's description of "A Breakfast with Alexandre Dumas" we take Lthe following: We waited breakfast till one o'clook for the artival of Mr. Genesoo, the editor of the Jiv rope, from whom a telegram then arrived informing us that he bad mifsed the train by two minutes. The proprietor of the cottage and a professional musician were the only other guests. The honor of conducting madame to the table fell to me. The break fast was admirably served, though it did not escape the criticism of our host. A carp, cold and more than two feet long, taken from the neighboring lake, with a sauce piquante, was followed by a hot roasted leg of delicious mutton. Then came a riz de veau, with tomato sauce. When Dumas was handed some he declined, saying: "Je me defie de la tauce tomate que je ne fais pas moi-meme." One of the guests insisting that the sauce was very good, "Ah," replied Dumas, in a tone between a sigh and a grunt, "it is not as I like it. ' He afterwards remarked of an other dih not entirely to bis taste: "I can't quit the kitchen five minutes." After the riz de veau we had crevisses, of which he ate enormously. By this time his breathing bad become as distinctly audible as if it had been effected by the aid of a high-pressure engine. 1 never saw a person eat so much like an animal. Grapes and pears concluded our repast, whioh was led to its place with champagne, claret, and some excellent iiurgundy. Soon after we had made an end of our eat ing and drinking, our host relapsed into a state of stertorous somnolency against which he struggled for a while manfully but in vain I observed, however, that this was a familiar experience with the household, and was not to be noticed. Thongh somewhat reas Burcd uj ttie trauuull air or my cummensalos. 1 could not help feeling a little as if I were the guest of honor at one of La Fontaine's feasts of the animals. In about half an hour, how ever, he overcame his drowsiness, and then talked on rapidly, and sometimes eloquently, and the more be talked the better looking he became. His smile was very sweet, and there was not a sordid, or mercenary, or selfish trait in one of his features, lie spoke of topics of current interest like a man of decided opinions, but evidently saw them from a very restricted rather than from a philosophic or national point of view. He said some things that were Btriking. The Emperor, he remarked, was vn vrai compirateur and not a brave man, hence he did everything requiring courage in the night, and then enumerated several of his important nocturnal perform ances. He compared him to those beasts of prey that only seek their food at night, such as foxes, wolves, jackals, etc., and said that be bad tne eye of that class of animals. The Franco-Italian Convention of the 11th September, which had been then recently signed, and of which the world bad just wit nessed the auspicious consummation, he pro nounced very ingenious and quite sure to restore Italy to Borne. He spoke with great admiration of our no relist Cooper, whose works were lying on his table, and whom he professed to have known. Before leaving St. Gratian I returned to the subject of his projected American expedition, made proner of sucn letters and counsel as might promise to be of service to him, and repeated the advice I had given to him before, to make a book about the United States, and not to sell it until it was written. It was ob vious tl at for some reason, then not quite in telligible to me, this advice was not palatable allotether. Befiecting upon what had passed during my nde home, 1 came to the conclusion that his hope was that our Government, following the example of several European States when in trouble, might desire to enlist his pea in its service, aud that perhaps 1 was prepared, under tbe cover oi a booksellers engage ment, to take him into tbe service of the Re public. Speaking of his proposal, a few days later, to a distinguished member of the Institute, he told me that I should caution all to whom I gave him letters not to lend him money, for, s nd he, he will levy upon every one of them, il tt tin grand mangeur, and always in want of money. This, he added, is so notoriously nis character that I feel no remorse in warn ing yon of it. He thought, however, Dumas might make a good book, and perhaps, under the circumstances, a useful one. I need hardly add that I never offered Dumas any special inducements to visit Ame rica, or that he never exeouted the project about wbich he consulted me. Neither did he ever renew the subject with me nor with any one else that I know of. His sceptre was already broken, and his literary influence was rapidly passing away. During the winter succeeding my visit to St. Gratian he tried to trade a little upon his past reputation and notoriety by lecturing; but bis suooess did not warrant him or his friends in trying the experiment more than once or twioe. With the m Dnmas may be said to have closed a literary career which, brilliant as it was for a time, placed mankind under very inconsider able obligations.
