The increased attention given to military affairs through out the country lends a peculiar interest to the new annual volume, for of Messrs. Gould & Lincoln’s well-known Annual of Scientific Discovery.” Though embracing every field of scientific discovery for the past year the necessities of the period compel tbe devotion of a much larger space than usual to discoveries and improvements science—as ircn-plated ships, steam rams, rifle, shot, shell, floating batteries, manufacture of steel, experi ments on tbe resistance cf iron plates, etc. The volume contains thousands offsets which everybody should know. Embellished with a fine likeness of Capt. Dahlgren. Mr. Burnham, of Boston, has just done an important service to ail students, in tbe publication of a very hand somo dno-deeimo edition of “The Koran,” the sealed book to American readers but gnide to a people moro numerous than those who bnild tbeir faith on tbe Chmtiau Bible. It is only by comparison with these ruling books of other religions that we can properly estimate the immense superioi ity of onr own. and for this reason, if for no other, we doubt not that Mr. Burnham’s enterprise issuing so fine an edition rf the Koran will be suitably rewarded. Tho Christian reader of every denomination should give it bis attention. Another o f Mr. T. 0. 11. P. Burnham’s new issues is a neat paper cover edition of Mrs. S. C.

Wo cannot give a better recommendation to the now story than to say it is by the satna author. Probably sluce Adam Bede and John Halifax no novel lias been read so attentively in this country and iu Eng land as East Lynne,” by Mrs. Ellon Wood It is every where characterized as a remarkable story, both in plot aDd treatment, its almost faultless construction indicat ing the extraordinary genius of tbe author Mosirs.

This will be e.-oui pleted in two more numbers aDd then published in a bock form as one of tire favorite series of Tales from t.e Living Age. Apropos of this well known series of Tales we have to say here that its latest addition has been from the pen of no less an author thAn the famous writer who gave us Adam Bede. Tbe “Cbtonirles of Carlingford,” published in a neat twenty-five cent pamphlet, is without doubt from tbe gifted pen of Miss Evans. It bears internal evidence of the fact, which has been confirmed positively. Let every one read it and then pnt the question to himself if he ever read a more beautiful or engaging story.'

IT. WAR NEWS. Gen. Grant’s Report' General Grant, in bis official icport of the late battle at Pittsburg Landing, a singularly meagre and unsatisfactory production, stales that when our pickets were driven in by tbe enemy on Sunday the five divisions etatioued at Pitts burg were drawn up in line of battle, and a severe engage ment ensued which continued until nightlall. Tbe enemy having forced the centre line to fall back nearly half way from the camp to the landing, at a late hour in the after noon a desperate effort was made by them to turn our left wing and obtain possession of the ’ending, transports, 4c. Tbe gunboats effectually guarded this pniot. At this critical moment the advance of General Buell’s column and a part of the division of General Nalsou arrived. An advance was then made upou the poiut of attack, and tbe enemy was soon driven back During Sunday night, tbe divisions under Generals Crittenden and McCook reached the field. An advance was ordered early on Monday morn ing, and tbe result was tbe gradual repul-e of tbe enemy at all points of the line from niue in the morning to five in the afternoon, when it became evident tiiat they were retreating. The force under General Grant was too much fatigued after tbe battle to follow tho enemy, but General Sherman did so. and it was ascertained that they retreated in good order. To the report is appended the correspon dence between Generals Grant and Beauregard, iu relation to burying the rebel dead left on tbe battle-field. General W. T. Sherman gives a report of his pursuit of tbe retreat ing enemy. An engagement occurred between the rebel cavalry and Ohio Seventy-Seventh Regiment, when the latter, without cause, threw down tbeir arms and fled. General Sherman Anally succeeded iu rallying enough infantry aDd cavalry to rout tbe enemy posses sion of their camp. Everything was then destroyed except a general hospital, Jo which were about *2SO confederates and about fifty of our troops. Not baviug the moans of carrying them off, Colonel Dickey took a snrreuder, signed by the medical director and attending surgeons and a pledge to report themselves to General Sherman as prison ers of war. Unfortunately, tbe enemy succeeded in car rying off his guns, but left behind him limbt-r boxes of at least twenty. After this operation Gen. Sherman ordered his men back to camp, they being completely fagged out by their th ee days’ flghtiQg, privatioo and exposure. From Fortress Monroe. Fortress Monroe, April 19 Thirty-nine wounded from Yorktnwn arrived hi*re to day, making 00 in ail wounded in the fight 'on the left flank on Thursday. The whole number reported is 32 killed and 90 wounded. Gen. Magruder’a report of the same fight, in the Norfolk papers, gives 25 killed, including. Col. M’Klnney, and 75 wounded. We can hear occasional cannonadiog towards Yorktnwn, but learn that It is merely an attempt of the enemy to din turb our working parties. With the exception of the rifle pit affair, on Thursday, the rebels have gut tbo worst of all the skirmishing ao far. The works are progressing rapidly, and when tho siege does commence it will be ter rific. The New York Fifth is considered the best drilled in the army before Yorfctown, and the post of honor has been assigned to it, being the only volunteer ragimeut with the regulars. The smoke and flames from the conflagration at Norfolk are still visible. A letter from Fortress Monroe says : “ The appearance here on Sunday and yester day of Vice President Hamlin, with a party of ladies from Washington, on a general frolic, with a band of music, has not raised the distinguished gentleman in military or naval estimation, Withr'-such serious surroundings and stern realities as we have here, the appearance of a pleasure party with a throng of thoughtless, giddy girls, is immensely condemned.”— Statesman. “ Nero (not the poor Negro ) fiddled while Rome was burning,” you will recollect. So, many of our New England Senators and Representatives, after agitating abolition, for Buncombe, all the week, up to Saturday, relieve the monotony by Sunday excursions down the Potomac, with ladies, champagne and other fixins, in Government steamers and at Undo Sam's expense. The above is not the first “gay old time” Vice President Hamlin and some of the Senators and Rep resentatives from New England have been od, if newspapers tell the truth. Gen. Wool, at Fortress Monroe, it is narrated, has forbidden these pleasure parties to land there, they have become such a nuisance. On some of the excursions Uncle Sam's big cannon shot and expensive mortar shells have been pretty free ly used up, at either fancied or real rebel “batteries” on the Virginia shore of the Potomac. But as nobody seems to have been hurt—the shells most always falling short of the mark into the river—some hare been so uncharitable as to say that it was only done to please the ladies, the popping at the"rebels usually succeeding the popping of champagne corks, after dinner. But seriously, these junketings and Sunday parties of pleasure, in which the Vice President and other high officials act so prominent a part, are most disgraceful. Alas, our poor, country ! llad it not been cursed by the rule of such dema gogues, it might not have seen the sad days of *he past year.— N. H.

OUTOFKVIL. ' The old saying, that it is ao ill vind tiiat blows no one any good, i? very dearly exetn flified in. egging and mobbing Wendell hilups in Ciccinnati, for making a trea sonable Abolition speech. As though touched by the wand of a magician tbe Republican papers everywhere were instantly converted to the doctrine of 44 free speech/' Ac., <£c.— We hope the conversion is a sound one and the convert prepared to go through life, without baokslidiog. We knGW of jio two pacers that have done more to destroy the freedom of speech and tbe press than the Gazette and Commercial of that city for a year past, and the gentlemen, whoever they may be, who brought about this sudden redemption, from sin, of these two papers and hundreds of others, deserve the thanks of the people generally—not for what they did to the dis onionist Phillips, but for the good they ac complished in favor of “free speech/' in bringing to our aid so many and so ably conducted papers. We are very sorry that this conversion could not have been brought about in a more qniet way, but the greater the sinner tbe greater tbe noise 4 at meetin' is very often the case. Wo heard a two days meeting preaoher once tell a story of a pions old lady, who had a bad and stubborn son, who refused to kneel at prayer time. Getting ont of all patience with het wicked, disobedient boy, jnst as the con gregation was kneeling to pray, she hit her son onder the ear with her fist and dropped bira on his knees, when she cried ont 4 now see if you won't pray!' We thought then that this was a hard way of converting sinners, and we think so still, but if 4 moral suasion' fails, something more effective, thought the old lady, most be need. Tbe story went that the boy was ever after a good Christian and a dutiful son. We hope fervently that the Gfazetie and Commercial will turn out the same, and never from this time forward, fail to cry out for 4 free speech/ and we will sound the 4 Amen !' Some thirty years ago, we stood guard to prevent the boys from egging an abolition meeting; as we thought 4 . free Bpeech' was a sacred right, to even abolitionists, as much as we despised their doctrines. We lived to see these very abolitionists cry for onr press and our blood, simply because we were exercising the right we guarded so sacredly for them, and for which they cried so lustily. We now, late as it is, are forced to the conclusion that we spent a fruitless night in putting onr life in jeopardy for men, who, at tbe first instal ment into power, belied every declaration they ever made, and proved from their numerous acts of despotic violence, that they were the most arrant hypocrites and traitors on earth. If the little incident therefore, in Cincin nati, has brought us all right again, God be praised for bis great mercies, and hereafter let u 9 afl, with one mighty voice, cry out for ‘free Speech/ 4 free press/ and no more bas tiles for opinion's sake. A great storm purifies the stagnant atmosphere, and brings health and hilarity into the settlement.— Crisis, EMANCIPATION BILL The Boston Courier , speaking of the bill to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, says: To us the bill appears only a provocation of wrath and bitterness. It is unfriendly to the professed policy of the Administration, and to the declared views of Congress. It is hos tile to the wishes of those in the border States and elsewhere in the slave States, to whom wo are constantly appealing as Union men. We ask them, and depend upon them, to aid ns in restoring the Union—we know that without their aid, though we may defeat the troops of the Confederates, yet they will then yield only a forced and sullen obedienoe, just so long as it ia convenient to do so—and, at the same moment we strike down a privilege which has always existed in the Union, and the deprivation of whioh we know will be deeply resented by every slave State. We do liot thus take the right means to make the Union whole—nor act consistently with con ciliatory feelings or sound policy. If our object is to divide it, or subjugate and hold the Southern territory by forts and garrisoned cities we might disregard everything but the forcible means of carrying our purpose out; but if such be not our object, we cannot rationally take a course which is to make en emies instead of friends. Singular Case of PoLYGAMY.-TheKillsdale (Mich.) Democrat says: “ A,young ms.n aged about twenty-four years, married a Miss Smith, of.Coldwater, in this State, in Novem ber, 1860, and in a few months after He mar ried a young lady in Kalamazoo. During this fall he married another young lady ia Con stantine, Sc. Joseph county, and in four months thereafter he again was wedded to a Miss Rowley, of Goshen, Ind, the daughter of a wealthy citizen, whom he induced to elope with him. The father becoming reconciled, sent for them, and a few days ago became aware of the above facts, whnn he caused his villainous son-in-law to be lodged in jail. The last named young lady is represented -as being very handsome and well educated, with an. unblemished character. Thanksgiving Sermons in ’New York— The New York Clergy on Lettres de Cachet and the Freedom of the Press. —The recommenda tion of the President to offer up thanks in the churches for the victories which have recently crowned oirr armß, was respected in this vicinity by all the religious sect. The occasion was improved, howevor, in many of the churches by tho pastors protesting against the assumed disregard of civil rights manifested by the Government. The interference with the Press, _ and the imprisonment of citizens on suspicion, without warrant or trial, was expressly denounced by several noted clergy men. In would be well for Government to heed these significant indications of public opinion.— N. Y. World, April 14. SPECIAL NOTICES. 935!] J&- Employment J [975 ! AGENTS WANTED!

B. S. Clmnning, of New York City, writes j ** I most cheerfully comply with the request of yoor agent (a . saying I havo found your Sarsaparilla a most excellent. alterative in tlio numerous complaints for which we employ such a remedy, but especially in Handle Diseases of the Scrofulous diathesis. I have cured many inveter* ate coses of Lencorrhoea by It, and somo where die com plaint was caused by ulceration of the uterus. The ulcer ation Itself was soon cured. Nothing within my knowl edge equals it for these female derangements.” ■ Edward 8. Marrow, of Newbury, writes, “A dan gerous cwmas tumor on one of the females in my fianily, which had defied all the remedies we could employ, at length been completely cured by your Extract of Sar saparilla. Our physician thought nothing but extirpa tion could afford relief, but he advised the trial of your Sarsaparilla as the last resort before cutting, and it proved effectual. After takingyour remedy eight weeks no symptom of the disease remains.” Syphilis and Mercurial Disease* New Orleans, 25th August, 1860. Dr. J. C. Ayer : Sir, I cheerfully comply with the re quest of your agent, and report to you some of the effects 1 have realized with your Sarsaparilla. I ham cured with it, in my practice, most of the com plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its effects truly wonderful in the cure of Fcncmtl and Jfer* cttrial Disease. One. of my patients had Syphilitic ulcers in his throat, which were consuming his palate And the top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken, cured him in five weeks. Another was attacked by sec ondary symptoms in his nose, and the ulceration bad eaten away a considerable part of it, so that I believe the disorder would soon reach his brain and kill him. Bnt It yielded to my administration of your Sarsaparilla; the ulcers healed, and he is well again, not of course without some disfiguration to his face. A woman who had been treated for the same disorder by mercury was suffering from tills poisou in her bones. They had become so sen sitive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex cruciating pain in her joints and bones. She, too, was cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla In a few weeks. I know ft-om its formula, which your agent gave xqe, that this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great remedy; consequently, theso truly remarkable results with it have not surprised me. Fraternally yours, G. V. LARIMER, M. D. Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint* Independence, Preston Co., Vo., 6th July, 1869. Dr. J. C. Ayer: Sir, I have been Afflicted with a pain? ful chronic Rheumatism for & long thne, which baffled the skill of physicians, and stuck to me In spite of all the remedies 1 could find, until I tried your Sarsaparilla. One bottle cured me in two weeks, and. restored my general health so much that 1 am far better than before I was attacked. 1 think it a wonderful medicine! J. FRXAM. Jules Y. Getchell, of St. Louis, writes; “I have been afflicted for years with au affection of the Liver, which destroyed my health. I tried every thiug, and every thing failed to relieve me; and 1 havo been a broken-down man for some years from no other cause than derangement the Liver, My beloved pastor, the Bov. Mr. Espy; advised mu to try your Sarsaparilla, because lie said lie knew you,. aud any thing you mudo was worth tryiug. By the bless ing of God it has cured me, and has so purified my blood os to make u new man of me. I feel young again. The best that can be said of you is not half good enough.” Sclilrrns,Cancer Tumors, Enlargement, Ulceration, Carles aud Exfoliation of tile Hones. A great variety of <wp,s have been reported to us where cures of these furniidabk* complaints lmve resulted from the use of tins remedy, hut our space here will not admit them. Some of them may be found in our American Almanac, which the agents below named are pleaaed to furnish gratis to ail who call fer them. Dyspepsia, Heart Disease, Fits* Rpllep* sy, Melancholy, Neuralgia- Many remarkable cures of these affections have been made by the alterative power of this medicine. It stimu lates the vital functions into vigorous action, and thus overcomes disorders which would be supposed beyond its reach. Such a remedy Ims long been required by the ne cessities of the people, aud we are confident that this will do for them all that medicine cun do. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, ('roup, Brouchitis, Incipient Con sumption, and for the Relief • of Consumptive Patients in advanced Stage's of the Disease* Thin is a remedy ho universally known to surpass any other for the cure of throat and lung complaints, that ft is useless here to publish the evidence of its virtues. Its unrivalled exccllenco for coughs and colds, and its truly wonderful cures of pulmonary disease, have made it known throughout the civilized nations of the earth, few are the communities, or even families, among them who havo not some personal experience of its effects some living trophy in their midst of its victory over the aubtleand.dangerons disorders of the throat and lungs. As all know the dreadful fatality of these disorders, and as they know, too, the effects of this remedy, we need not do more than to assure them that it has now all the vir tues that it did have when making the cures which have won so strongly- apon the confidence of mankind.
