NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Every lover of books has some author whom
he follows “ through thick .and thin”; .whose
every whim is precious; whose faults are
charming, and whoso defects are points to de
light in.-JNo matter how dull, or bizarre,to the
world of- common readers, some poem, essay,
novel or treatise of this favorite author may be s
the victim of his allurements and fascinations
eagerly seizes upon anything which bears the
beloved imprint, and fairly gloats over its im
perfections or absurdities, as the case may be. •
The American lovers of Robert Browning now
have an opportunity to take to their hearts a *
volume of the character which. lovers worship,
and which others regard with cold neglect.
"We mean the one just published by Ticknor &
Fields, Boston, and sent to us through Messrs.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers. It contains “Sor
dello,” « Strafford,” and “ Christmas-Eve and
Easter-Day,” three of Browning’s most char
acteristic productions. “ Sordello ’’ was first
published in Europe in 1840; its subject is
drawn from the life of a Provengal poet men
tioned in Dante’s “Pnrgatorio,?? and it con
tains every possible fault of its author, .in the
way of obscurity, mystical inversions and tan
■getical “flaws and starts.” Under date of June
3, 1803, Browning newly dedicates “ Sordello”
to Mr, J. Niisandj-of Dijon, in the following
bv Tonrr.amp lE -!'irf : = L<il this poem be introduced

and pains to turn my work into what 7
might—instead ot what the tew

therefore leave as I find it. The, historical deco
ration was purposely of no more : importance th.au
a background requires; and my stress lay on the
incidents in the development of a soul: little else
is worth, study. I, at least, always thought so,
yon, with many known and nuknown to.me, think
so,—others may one day think so : and whether my
attempt remain for them or not, I trust, though
away and past it, to continue over yours, JR. B. ”
“Strafford” is a tragedy, based on the career
of the earl of that name who was; beheaded at
Tower Hill during the'reign of Charles I. It
was played in London .in 1837, Mr. Macready
•enacting the hero, hut its success 1 with the
public .was only moderate. “Christmas Eve
and-Easter Day ” was first published in England
in 1850. It represents the spiritual aspects of
ihe age; - the ,customary, Browning-,
esqne haze, and with a tinge of Browning’s
personal opinions on religious faith. ‘ A very
handsome steel portrait of the author faces the
title-page of the volume,' which is executed in
a style uniform with Messrs. . Ticknor &
Fields’s editions of the other woiks of the
Brownings.
Aperies of essays called ‘"‘Caxtoniana”’ has
been published in Blackwood’s Magazine, at
tracting much a’tention. Of course, every- one
klifc 'v, from tbeir title and their style, that they
[ were from (he pen of Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton. These essays have now been collected
bj th.eir author in a volume, which has boen
published by Messrs. Harper & Brothers. A
copy has been sent, to. rs by Messrs. T.B.
Peterson & Brothers. Nothing that Bulwer
bas Written shows pjore mature and original
thought than -this collodion of es.says. In a
not e at the end ho says that the -subjects of
mostof' them suggested themselves while he'
was writing the Caxton novels. | Most of them
havejreference to customs peculiarly English.
But they can be read with advantage and plea
sure outside of England. One of the longest
of them, called “Motive Power,” is a fiction,
in which romance and philosophy are happily
united. The subjects are varied; but they and
the manner of their treatment are calculated
to please best people of literary taste and cul
ture. To all such we commend the volume.
Among the most valuable and attractive of
Mr. F Leypoldt’s excellent publications, we
rank the “Letters to a Lady,” by "Wilhelm Yon
Humboldt, just, issued,with a brief biographical'
introduction by Charles Godfrey Loiand. Wil
helm Yon Humboldt was an older brother of
the great naturalist, and was "himself eminent
as a diplomatist, statesman, and philosopher.
When he was a youth of twenty he casually
met a young lady, for a few days, and did not
again hear of her till twenty-six years later.
She had had a life of.sorrow and suffering, and
wrote to herformeracqnaiatance. Hereplied,
and the correspondence was kept hp for many
years. His letters are models of pure thought,
good counsel and wise philosophy! They have
been admirably translated into English, and in
the present attractive style of publication, they
deserve to be extensively read. 1
I In a few days Mrs. Ann S. Stephens's new
romance, called “The Wife’s'Secret,” will be
published by T. B. Peterson-&. Brothers. We
I have looked over the advance sheets, and can
promise the-admirers pf'Mfs. Stephens a char
acteristic treat.; The story is one of domestic
life, the scene being laid mainly in the vicinity
of New York. The various persons who bear
their part in the narrative are strongly pre
sented, particularly the different members of"
the Bentley and Hart families. " The character
of Michael Hurst is .also described with almost
painful force. We -will n’ot weaken the-interest
of any reader by- sketching: the plof. hnt -wiii
simply state that no lover of the. exciting in ro
mance can fail to he eager to unravel its intri
cacies after reading the first few pages.
One of the cleverest humorous books that
the war has given rise to is the volume' lately
published by Carleton, called “The Life and
Adventures, Songs, Services and, Speeches of.
Private Miles O’Reilly.” Published in the
columns.of a daily, journal of .New. York, some
of the letters and songs of the volume afforded
much amusement. ‘ In their collected form,
with some good funny 1 illnstrations, they will
be still more mirth-provoking. ,The songs are.
particularly good. Some of them are rather
irreverext towards .certain high functionaries;
hut their wit and good humor, and their per
fectly Harmless character, make them excusable.
The book is for sale by T. B. Peterson &
Brothers. -
A curious old book of religious reveries and
meditations has been revived and published by
Ticknor & Fields. It is called “Sixteen Revela
tions of Divine Love, made to a devout ser
vant of Our Lord, called Mother Juliana, an
Anchorite of Norwich: "Who lived in the days
of King Edward the Third.” , Its quaintly de
vout spirit will interest many readers, and it
has an.historical value .as a relic of the -four
teenth century. , The old-fashioned words and
phrases _ .of ' ihe original me preserved in this
edition, and a glossary at the end acquaints the
modern reader with their signification;
Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co. have issued
Parts 71 and 72 of “Chambers's Encyclopaedia,”
which is now carried pretty well on into the
letter M. They,have also published Parte 19,
20; 21 and 22 of*“The Book of Days.’’ This
delightful and instructive publication is also
approaching completion. No work that we
know of contains.so much curious and interest
ing reading. •
THE FLORIDA DISASTER.
The following extract is lrom a letter from ah
officer of the atth Massachusetts volunteers :
Jacksonville, Feb. S 3, 1601. * 9 * * We
have had a light, alieking, and afoot-race. We
maichedllO miles in 108 hours, and in that time
had atbree-hours’ fight. Our regiment lost one
man in everyfive,—going in five hundred strong,
and losing one hundred in killed, wounded and
missing. When we returned to Jacksonville we
were all crippled from severe marching.
Befoie going into battle the-5-lth was double
qulcked for a mile, and as they went in, General
Seymour said to Col. Hallow.ell, “The day is
lost; youmustgo in and savethc corps.” Hedid
Coin and did sa : :eit, che:l:ed the enemy, hits the
field, and vjas the very last to leave—and covered the
retreat.
The enemy were in strong force—strong enough
to have demolished the whole lot of us. **’ *

HEABQUAKTERS, H.IIMV of tbe Potonac, Feb
eo, I:ol.—General Kilpatrick, at the head of a
large force of cavalry left this place ou Saturday
evening on a grand expedition. The strength of
the entire command we do not deem it judicious to
publish at the present time.
O n Saturday night the command proper en
camped at Old Yerdiersvill e, on the Fredericks-,
burg and Orange Court Bouse plank road, eight
miles south of the Rapidaa. On Sunday morning
:the force demonstrated In front of the enemy’s
works upon Mine run, deployed as infantry, in
order to cause the enemy to mass in that loealitV-to
resist attack.. In this capacity they acted all day,
and at night rested in a retired and.safe position
betweeniv erdtersville and Robinson’s Tavern.
At three o’clock*%n Monday morning General
Kilpatrick took np his line ot march southward;
towards the junction of the Virginia Central and
the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroads,
arriving at Spottsyl vania Court House fit about
dark. ‘ ■
From this point" Colonel Dahlgren, with a
selected detachment from the cavalry, was de
spatched to .Fiederickshall, midway between the
junction of the above named roads and Gordons
ville, where had been parked the whole.of the
rebel reserve artillery.
Colonel Dahlgren was to have destroyed the
artillery, tne Toads and telegraph lines, and rejoin
Gen. Kilpariek, er report in the morning.

The above figures do not convey a tall idea of
the number of men enlisted and credited to th
city. Many veterans left lor the seat of war be
lore their city bounty claims had been cashed. We
know, also, that many of the Wards have enlisted
many more men than are credited with the city
bounty in the above statement.
Boebebiss at a Hotel.—This morning,
about thsee o’clock, a Mr. Levi, ol Louisville,
Kv., a guest at me Merchant’s Hotel, discovered
that he had been robbed of his watch, a diamond
ling valued atsoCO, and hie pocket book contain
ing s],£Co. Sir. McKibbin, the proprietor of the
house, was notified and went :o work quietly to
discover the thieves. Suspicion s»ooa fell upon two
well-dressed young men, who had engaged a
rcom on the previous night- Upon entering their
ro<m it wu observed that the window was
partially open, and an examination of the yard
beneath brought to light the rob
bery of about twelve rooms, consisting of gold
•watches, greenbacks, &c. The suspected robbers
weie then taken into custody, and were handed
over to the police. They were locked up to await
a hearing.
Twelfth Ward Bounty Fund.—Among our
advertisements to-day will tie found a statement
of the subscriptions to the Twelth Ward Bounty
Fnpd by. Mr. Pearson, the Treasurer. At a recent
meeting of the Bounty Fund Committee of this
Ward, a resolution was' passed to exhaust the
amouut in the treasury, .which exceeds Si, 000, in
the procuring of recruits. The amouut of money
subscribed in the Twelfth Ward reached the hand,
some sum .of 817,595 tlO, of whichS!s,3B7 57 has
been expended for recruits and incidental expenses,
leaving Si,ic ; B U 3 in the treasury. This Wardhas
exceeded its quota, and is now ready to pay the
balance on band to all recruits that may be credited
to it, so as to gain a start in case lhereis any future
draft. The Twelfth Ward deserves great credit for
the -active and efficient exerfiens of its public
spirited citizens.
Rebel Prisoners Passing Through.—Forty
car loads oi rebel, prisoners from Camp Chase,
Ohio, arrived in the city last evening, about six
o' clock. . They were under the charge of Colonel
Poteh, commanding a battalion of the Seth Ohio
and 7th Invalid Corps. The steamers Beybold
and ABblatd were in waiting at the landing, at
the foot of Washington avenue, to take the pri.
soners to Fort Delaware. The guard were fed at
the Union Reneshment Saloon. A number of the
rebels belonged to Morgan. The whole party were
• the oldest prisoners on hand at Camp Chase. The
general ht alth ot the rebels is excellent.
Relief for East Tennessee.— A committee
of gentlemen, composed of Frederick Collins, Col.
N. Q-. Taylor and Lloyd P. Smith, will leave this
city for U e purpose of making purchases for the
sufferers in Fast Tennessee. A society, composed
of some of the most respectable Union men of Bast
Tennessee will Co-operate with those engaged in
the distribution of fuel. : The committee will pro
ceed to Knoxville. Contributions ot clothing may ’
he sent to J. B. Lippincott A Co„ of this city.
The sum raised in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia
is over twenty thousand dollars, all of which will
he judiciously laid out.
Disorderly : House*.— Susan McKinley,
Howard street emd Girard avenue,' was arrested
last night, upon the'charge of keeping a disorderly
house. Seven ol the inmates of the establishment
were also taken Into custody. The. house or Ann
BazleyFraakfordroad and Otter street, afterwards
received a visit from'the police, who captured
eight persons besides Mrs. Bagley. The whole
party were taken to the Central Station, and were
locked tip to await a hearing.
■Major Henry C. Whelan, of the 6th
Pennsylvania Cavalry, died in this city last

that there was a well organized company, having -
its headquarters in New York, with a bfanchl,?

Justice Hogan ccmmittedboth of the accused to

It is stated on good authority that the scheme ttao -
flood this country and Enrope with counterfeit -
Treasury notes of Brazil, was originated in. the " 1
latter country by a thoroughly-organized band of
men, some of whom are wealthy and influential • •
that their primary object was to ruin the credit and
finances of that nation in the eyes of the whole
civilized world.and secondly to enrich themselves *
as much as possible. A large number of counter
feiters, both in New York and Philadelphia, are .' :
known to have been identified with it either as. ,
leaders or as ins ruments in the hands of more
designing rogues. '
