NEW PUBLICATIONS. “Lyrics of a Day, or Newspaper Poetry,” published hy Carleton, of New York, contains some of the best verse of its kind that has ap peared during the war. Most of the poems are vigorous, terse and manly, very far above the common-place level of the occasional pieces suggested by the events of the war. One of them, “The Color-Bearer,” suggested by an incident at Vicksburg, has gone the rounds of the press extensively, and been universally ad mired as a most striking poem. The very roughness of the verse, in this and most of the other pieces, has a good effect. There is nothing namby-pamby or sentimental in any of them. The author is Mr. Henry Howard .Brownell, who shows himself capable of higher flights than any he has attempted in this little volume. A valuable and well-timed legal publication has just been issued by the Appletons and may he obtained from Ashmead & Evans. It is en titled “ Practice in the Executive Departments of the Government," under the Pension, Bounty and Prize Laws of’the .United States. 5 Its author is Robert Sewell, Counsellor at Law, who, while serving on the staff of the Governor of New Jersey, found how necessary such a work was. He undertook to prepare one, and the result is the excellent volume under notice. It contains all the legislation on the subjects named in the title, together with instructions how to proceed in the departments, and forms of applications such as are approved and in use. The volume is handsomely printed and bound in law.calf. It contains 350 pages. The series of translations from Jean Paul Friedrich Richter, from the publishing house of Ticknor & Fields, is progressing. They have just issued in an exquisite volume, “The Campaner Thai and other Writings. 55 The translator of. “The Campaner Thai” is Juliette Bauer. The “Life of Quintus Fixlein” and the “Journey to Flats” are translated by Car lyle, and there is a series of brief articles called “Analects from Richter,” translated by De Quincey. The singular and original genius and the quaint, grotesque humor of Jean Paul are seen vividly in all these writings. The translators have happily succeeded in trans ferring to English the subtle style of the origi nal. Peterson and Lippin cott & Co. haye the work for sale. “We have reeeived from Messrs. J. B. Lippin cott & Co., and from Messrs. Peterson & Brothers, a new volume published by Ticknor & Fields, from the pen of Rev. W. H. Furness. It is entitled “The Veil Partly Lilted and Jesus Becoming Visible.” For beauty of style and clearness of thought we know of few works of this class that equal it. The life and charac ter of Jesus are presented in singular fresh ness and beauty. Of course the views of the writer harmonize with the doctrines of the church of which he is a distinguished orna ment. He takes occasion to combat, and does it ably, some of the peculiar opinions of M. Renan. The paper, printing and binding of the volume are remarkably beautiful. We have received from Carleton, of N-sw York, through Messrs. Ashmead & Evans, a book called “Red-Tape and Pigeon-Hole Generals, as seen from the Ranks during a Campaign in the Army of the Potomac; by a Citizen-Soldier.” It is a very lively and spirited narrative, apparently written by a Pennsylvania Volunteer officer. Perhaps the author, feel ing that he has a mission to expose “red-tape” and fogyism in general, .exaggerates somewhat, and in certain cases suffers his personal pre judices to carry him toofar.i -But there can be no question that he is right very often, and he has certainly written a very agreeable book. An elegant volume has been published by Van Nostrand, of New York, called “Squadron Tactics under Steam,” by Commander Foxhall A. Parker, U. S. N. It is an elaborate and scientific exposition of the manoeuvres of steam fleets, with about seventy diagrams to illustrate the different problems. It will be invaluable to naval officers who have, or ever expect to have, squadrons to command. The work is for saieby J. B. Lippincott & Co. A handsome volume of poetry, called “Mount Vernon and Other Poems,” by Harvey Rice, has been published by Appleton & Co., and we have received a copy through Messrs. Ashmead & Evans. The verse is musical in ; all cases, the sentiments are pure and the patriotic feel ing that characterizes most of the poems will be highly acceptable to our loyal citizens'. The 23d and 24th parts of ‘‘The Book of Days” have just been issued by Messrs. J. B. Lippincott &. Co. This admirable collection of curious facts was the subject of an elaborate and highly laudatory criticism in a late number of that leading critical journal of England, the Saturday Review. A seat little book on the “ Laws and Practice of IVhist,” by Cavendish, has reached its fifth edition. It is published by Appleton & Co., and may be relied on as authority in all questions concerning this inter esting and popular game of cards. Patent Extended—We perceive that the patent obtained some years ago by Mr. A. Fulton, of this city, for his improved • ‘packing” for steam cylinders, has been extended for seven years from the 26th instant. Mr.-Folton has been confined to his room for several months by a severe attack of asthma, coupled with heart disease, but his two sons, Samuel M. and ‘William M. Fulton, have charge of his bnsiness, and are carrying it on with the same success and enterprise which marked their father’s management of the Pittsburgh Chronicle. OUR HWHOLE COUNTRY. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1864. LATER FROM THE 60U1H. The Bicbinoud.Engiurer of the 25ih contains the following: YANKEES ARRIVING IN. NORTH CAROLINA. Me understand that official information has been received at the War Department concerning the landing cl a large force of the enemy in Washing ton, N O- Tbe force is said to be under com mand of Gen. Burnside. Whether an immediate forward movement-was contemplated or not-the recent heavy fall of snow in ihat vicinity, to gether with ihe heavy condition in which it will leave ihe roads., and the attendant flooding of the swamps, will put a slop to any advance into the interior for some days to come. FROM EAST TENNESSEE, The Enquirer republishes the following from the Lynchburg (Va ) Eepublicvn: • We have the report from-East Tennessee that the had advanced as far east as Morris town, have again taken the hack track and retired to strawberry flairs, only some fifteen or twenty miles from Knoxville. The retreat of the enemy has dissipated, for the present at' least, all pros pects of a fight. The ei lisiment of colored troojis in Middle Ten nessee gots on rapidly. At ShelbyvUle and Leba non there are 5, Otf) ready for the field. FROM JOHNSTON’S ARMY. Dalton, Ga., March 24.—General Pillow has ket-n placed in command of the cavalry of the Northern District of Alabama. The enemy, show no disposition to engage onr forces. They have retired from our front, and their recent movements are supposed to be only xeconnoissan ces. Macon, Ga., March 12— The Supreme Court of Georgia to-day unanimously affirmed the constitu tionality of the Confederate anti-substitute law. FROM FLORIDA. ' General Finnegan had despatches forces to meet the Yankees atPilatka, consisting of cavalry, in fantry and artillery. Everything continued quiet m the neighborhood of Jacksonville. SUFFERINGS IN RICHMOND. The Enquirer publishes an appeal tothe benevo lent in beh&li ol soldiers’ families and other poor ol the city, which says: “The poor have not ueen able to procure supplies at the shops established by the City Councils, even at the reduced prices charged hy the committee. The appeal states that pressing necessity&xists for immediate aid to pre vent absolute suffering. “ HEAVY SNOW STORM. The heaviest snow storm of two winters, it is pieramed, did not slight Petersburg yesterday and last night. The average depth is about twelve inches, and some affirm that it is deeper. To-day was ushered in with a cloud:e.s sky, and inerry ringing ef sleigh bells, the latter pastime at the tune of twenty dollars an hour to those who in dulged. FROM WASHINGTON. The correspondents the Time* writes as follows. In order to remedy existing evils in waste and de struction of cavalry horses, a board of three offi cers is lo be appointed by the War Department to make ‘borough inspections of mounted troops in each aimy in the field, and to report to the Adju tant-General such regiments ana companies as for want of discipline and neglect and waste of horses ought to be dismounted and broken up and trans ferred to organizations from the same Slate. Wbere regiments or companies are broken up, officers will be mustered oat of service. Authority has been given to < ommanding generals of armies and military depaitments to dismount and transfer to infantry regiments from the sane State any mounted man whose horse is, through his own fault or neglect rendered unfit for service. There is great consternation among hors# con tractors to-night. Secretary Stanton, by a skill ful ccup d' e/a/, has broken up the ring formed here to force np the price of horses on the Government. John Spicer, of Chicago, one of the leaders ef the gang, has been sent to the Old Capitol. Other ar rests have been made, end more are to follow. An order just issued by the War Department, de signates the pay of officers resigning or dismissed as follows: Officer on leave, who resigns, will be paid to the date given to the acceptance of his re signation; officer on duty, who resigns, will be paid to date at which he received notice of the ac ceptance of his resignation; provided he continued on duty till that time, otherwise to the date when he was relieved irom. duty. An officer on leave, when he is dropped or dismissed from the military service, will be paid to the date, Inclusive of the order dropping or’ dismissing him, provided no other time be specified in the order as the date when his pay should cease, or wheji he ceased to be an officer; and in such case to date so specified. An officer on dnty or in hospital, when he is drop ped or dismissed from military service, will be paid to the date at which the order dropping or di«missinghim vrasreceivedathispostor hospital, if no other time be specified in the order as the d&ie when he cessed to be an officer, and, insnch case, to the date so specified. An officer dismissed by sentence or court martial will be paid to date vhtn the order approving the sentence was re ceived at the post where the officer w&a, ifnoother time be specified in the {entente, or in the order promulgating it, as the termination of his service and pay. The rri&ufu’j correspondent says: Mrs. Bi6sell. and daughter, and Mrs. Carter, sent to the Old Capitol sometime ago for attempting to smuggle goods and letters South, were sent South to-day, via Fortress Monroe. Mrs. Biseell is said to be the wile of a retired Naval Officer, now in charge 6 f a California navy- yard. The following iron-clad war steamers will be launched between this day and the Ist of May next : —Pnritan, first class, at New York: Tippecanoe, third class, at Cincinnati; Saugns, third class, a Wilmington; Mahop&c, third class, at New York, Catawba, third class, at Cincinnati; Kickapoo, third class, at Cincinnati; M&nayunk, third class, at Pittsburgh; Oneota, third class, at Cincinnati; Agaaenticns, second class, at Portsmouth, N. H.; Mar.etta. third class, at Pittsburgh; Sandusky, third class; at Pittsburgh. Others beside these may be ready for floating off. Some of the above will be nearly ready for sea when launched. The Herald correspondent writes: On account of the protracted indisposition of Judge Adams, Auditor of the Treasury for the Post Office De partment, JohnF. Sharretts, chief elerk, has been commissioned by the President as acting auditor, and Robert Leech, the solicitor ofthe bnreaa, as acting chief clerk. The rumor that General Frank Blair intends immediately to resign his seat in Congress, to re sume active duties in the field, is incorrect. Gen eral Blair desires to return to the field, but will not resign the pending contest relative to the seat he occupies in the Bouse. . FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT REAR PITTSBURGH. [From the Pittsburgh Chronicle, March 30.] A frightful occurrence, resulting in the loss of three valuable lives, took place about ten o’clock to-day at the Coal Works of A. D. Smith Ic Bro., M Keesport. It appears that as one of the cars, laden with coal, had commenced descending the inclined plane leading from the mouth of the pit to the river, the fastening gave way, and there being nothing now to check its course, it rushed down the track with fearful velocity. At the foot of the plane a number of men were engaged in loading a coal barge lying in the river directly under the “tipple,” while on the • ‘tipple’ ’ itself was a car which was being unloaded just as the other came down. The men tried to get out of the way, bnt the velocity with which the descending car approached left them but little opportunity to escape the danger, and the catastrophe' above noted was the result. The car struck that on the track with fear ful force, forcing 'it over the ‘‘tipple” into the barge, and scattering the coal and tim bers in every direction. Mr. W. Nichols, foreman of the works and one of the owners, was standing in the barge at the time and ;was knocked overboard. His b<My was recovered soon after, bnt life was extinct. John Kane and Joseph Wells, who were engaged in unloading the car on the ‘ ‘tipple, ’ ’ were knocked from the plat form into the barge and instantly killed. They were struck by the flying fragments of the broken car and their bodies badly mutilated. • Another of the hands, James ' Forden. had one of his legs fractured and was otherwise dan gerously Injured. Be is not expected to recover. William Copeland, also employed at the works, was injured considerably, but bis Hie is not in danger. Kane was a married man and leaves a family. The others were unmarried. Doctor Walters was called on soon after the acci dent occurred, and went up by the noon train to attend to the sufferers. The accident was caused by the breaking of the bolts holding the straps to which the rope was fastened, and was one of those occurrences against which it seems almost impos sible to provide. ' Important Military Order—Major-General Wallace, has issued the following order f Headquarters Middle Department, Bth Army Corps, Sattimore, March 29, 1864 Special Orders, No. 79. —(6.)—Ool Wolley, Provost Marshal Bth Army corps, is hereby directed to Issue Instructions to his subordinates to arrest any person instrumental in kidnapping or enticing recruits from the limits of this department. Those persons arrested will be held subject to the action of the Governor of the. State. By command of Maj. Gen. Wallace. Same. B. Lawrence, - Assistant Adjutant-General. A GRAND HEW CUT RAILWAY PROJECT. To the Editqrof the Evening Bulletin -You have done 'Wisely and well In opposing so vigorously the monger Railroad scheme, and the community lor Yon have not done your •.however, in condemning unnecessary railways. You are expected to commend and ent courage the building of those which the public con venience- requires. .Confident, therefore, of your approbation, I place beiore you the plan of a new improvement of this kind, wnich a few enterprising gentlemen are about to commence. * 6 They have selected an eligible route, s hitherto quite overlooked, even by the Union Railroad pro jectors, and desire, through the medium of your columns, to call the attention of their fellow-citi zens to its many advantages. Beginning at the point where Franklin Place debouches into .Market street, the proposed road will run Sonth to Chestnut street, thence across that street to the entrance of Hudson’s alley, thence down that in teresting thoroughfare to its terminus, thence East wardly along Harmony coutttoThirdstreet thence somewhat diagonally to the mouth of Carter’s alley, thence Fa&twardJy againto Second street, thence across Second street to loglia street, along Inglis street throughout its entire length, passing beneath the archway at the terminus and connect ing with the City Passenger Railway amidstthe .busy scenes of Iront street. At the intersection ot Exchange Place, two branches will'set off, one in a northerly direction across Chestnut street and by way of Bank street to Market street, which it will enter about a square eastward of the place of be ginning. The other will ran south until the point at which Exchange Place widens imo Dock street; thence, by two graceful cnrvilinear sweeps, it will enter and traverse Lodge alley and Gold street and form a double connection with the Se cond Street Railway, embracing, within its bi furcation the splen'did ruins of a orce renowned monetary institution. It is also intended, for the convenience and relief of bibulous wayfarers, to have turn outsat the principal hotels along the route. The road will be built with only a single track; but in order fully to meet the requirements o! the traveling community, a style-of cars will be adopted to run after the‘manner cl the wheelbar row, so that .each rail will accommodate a train. The propelling power-will be. a newly invented dummy engine* It has been discovered that by the introduction of a nicely adjusted system of checks and balances, perpendicularity and equi librium can be maintained. Moreover, the en gineers and conductors are to be educated in the Blondin school, it being intended to get an appro priation from the Legislature to facilitate" the trainingof these officers. Meanwhile, and until peimanent arrangements can be effected, the ser vices of the Ravel and Martineili families will bo secured. A committee is about to proceed to Har risburg to obtain a charter. In view of the no velty of the scheme, the.eligibility of the route, the demand for increased facilities of travel, and other potential reasons, opposition from our liberal and ec lightened legislators is not anticipated. An opportunity will soon be given to onr citi zens generally to become interested in the enter prise. To avoid a recuirenceof scenes which once took place in Cock street, and to allow “ample room and verge enough” for all comers, the books will be open on every lair day at the eastern front ot the Merchants’. Exchange. Oar worthy Mayor will derail a score of his most trusty police to pre serve order, prevent needless crowding, show fair play to modest applicants, and keep the boys away. If you thcald think of investing, I will, for a consideration, put a few sandwiches in my pocket and endeavor to procure for you as many shares as you may detire. The title of the company will be “the Serpen tine”—but it must not be inferred from this appel lation that the enterprise has any copperhead con nections or tendencies. FRANKLIN- omr BULLETIN.

Men for the naval service or ma rine corps are credited on the quota for draft the same as men for the army. Information 'Wanted.— James W- Green, a member of Company 31th Massachusetts Regiment, is now in this city in search of his wife, Marie B. Green. Mrs. Green was a clerk in the Post Office Department at Washingtoif. She also took a prominent part in the Sanitary Fair held there, and about the last of February she became considerably depressed in spirits, as is supposed, in consequence of'her severe labors. She was ad vised to take some relaxation, and on the 29th of February, wsb placed upon the cars for Phila delphia, stating that she would pay a visit to a friend here.

IV u ere are the Police ?— We hear repeated complaints of disorders and ontrages committed m the neighborhood of Tenth and Sonth streets. It is a sort of border’ground where-white ruffians wreak their hatred upon black victims, and where colored rowdies do mischief upon their own ac count. Knocking down, stone throwing, and w indow smashing, are of frequent occurrence, and the law-abiding citizens of the locality de mand and require the constant attention of a pro tective policeman or two upon the spot. Dangerous.— Some of the bigns and other devices placed upon the tops of houses aro very insecure. This morning, between eight and nine o' clock, on outside structure belonging to a photo graph establishment on Chestnut street, near Eleventh, and placed upon the roof, fell with a tremendous crash. Fortunately no person was passing at the time. Kad the accident occurred upon some fine afternoon, there is no doubt that several persons would have been injured.

Davis & Richards, dealers in fine family groceries, Arch and Tenth streets, have constantly on hand, for the use of invalids, the purest quality of old Brandy and Whiskey, imported expressly by themselves for medicinal purposes. The Improved Elliptic Lock Stitch Sewing Machine, by the test of year*, has justly pained that standard in the estimation of an appreciatire and impartial public that could oiily be acouired by true merit, therefore it is unnecessary to resort to newspaper bravado and misrepresentations to impress upon the purchaser doubtful claims of merit and worth that do not in reality exist. Oomp&rison and a thorough test of the Elliptic Sewing Machine upon all kinds of line fabrics of family use, is all that is desired. Office, No 701 Chestnut street, N. "W. corner of Seventh.

Procrastination is the thief of time, therefore begin at once and purchase vour coal from the popular Coal Yard of Mr. A. T. Markley, southwest corner of Bioad and Bace. You may there rely upon getting a tip-top article at a mode rate price. The Great Fair to be held in June is attsacting universal attention. The important question is—How will the visitors he accommo dated! It is suggested that a list of all private boarding houses and their capacities he made oat, and then if that will not be enough, the large houses at the navy yard will be fitted np as hotels; also the great market, houses. In the mean time Charles Oakford &. Sons, under the Continental Hotel, will have everything in their line ready for the great rush of strangers. The Improved Elliptic Lock-stito h Sew iho Machine is the embodiment of all new and late improvements which years of experience have tested and proven to be of the mo3t vital importance to the Operator in sewing fine materials or fabrics of family nee. ■lt is no new fancy experimental machine, but of thoroughly established reputation, making a light Lock-stich, alike on both sides of the work, which cannot be raveled. They stitch,hem, bind, fell, run, braid andgather without hasting. They sew equally as well the lightest and heaviest fabrics. They sew over the heaviest seams withoutchang. in°- the tension or breaking the finest thread. They use any No. of Cotton, Thread or Silk, directly from the spool. They rnn easily, and are almost noiseless. Of a rotary motion, thereby going at great speed, durability, strength and ease.

The' complainant avers that he is seized in lee of a certain lot of ground and iso house thereon erected, situate in the Fifteenth w aid, lying between Canal street Handing avenue ' and Hare street-; that as owner he was entitled t® the benefit and advantage ol a certain agreement °£ 1831, between Eli K. Prica and Philip M. Price of the one part, and Henry Moliere of the other part, and also of a second • agreement made in 1832. These agreements eav* to Henry Moliere, his heirs, and assigns theexdu* sive right and privilege forever thereafter of taking the ice from the river Schuylkill oyer upon and in, front of the premises described, and also the right - and privilege for a term of time, and from time to ' time not exceeding in the case of the first agree* ment, fourteen work days in the whole, andin tha second agreement not exceeding thirty-one days between the Ist day of December and tha Ist day of April -in every year, of a convenient landing upon any wharva erected upon the said premises for the purpose of placing ice thereon, and also of a reasonable and conrinient way or passage, for the purpose of conveying away all ice that the said Moliere, his heirs and assigns, .might cut and take.

Our men are in good spirits, taking the defeat as a matter of course, and hoping that better fortune may attend the next engagement we met and provided for the first wounded, and carried the last off the field; and when toldby Gen Seymour that if we remained to secure the last load upon the care, we would certainly be cap* lured, our men took the chances, got the men upon a hastily constructed platform, moved a few miles, and the engine giviDg out, the 54th Massachusetts (those left after covering the retreat, and their slaughter was terrible,) seized the train, and, by ropes, dragged it 23 miles into Jacksonville, our corps accompanying it. It gratified me .subsequently to be addressed by a high official: »*Your corps baa sustained tbe reputation of Morris Island.’* Sanitary stock is higher in this market than gold in New York. M. M.

Bach evening they have filled the house to over flowing, and if their stay could be prolonged, they could again act their entire round of Irish and Yankee characters. As time has mellowedand ripened their powers, they both act in a more sub dued tone, which allows of delicate shading and rery nice touches which could scarcely be noticed, in their more rollicking style of a few years ago. Still, this mellowing process has but increased their popularity with their admirers, and they have never played a more successful engagement than the present one. To-night’s bill comprises three plays. Hr.
