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.

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

paid to the date at which the order dropping or
di«missinghim vrasreceivedathispostor hospital,

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

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

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-

Recruiting. —There is another falling off in
the number of enlistments. The warrants for the
payment of the city bounty, issued this morning
amounted to only *7,000, representing twenty
eight men.
By instructions from the War Department, Pro
vost Marshals are ordered to recruit for the Naval
Service and Marine Corps. Any person who can
pass the Surgeon’s examination may be thus re
cruited. Able or ordinary seamen enlisted in the
naval service receive three m'onthaimDfunce pay as
bounty, to be refunded from jinK‘Money. Re
cruits enlisted for the marine corps must be be
tween the ages of eighteen and thirty-five, except
tlat veteran soldiers who have served one full en
listment and aJe of robust health may be taken at
forty years. They do not receive advance pay or
: bounty from the United States, bui are entitled to
prize money. 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. Since that time she has not been
heard of. Her friends in Massachusetts have been
telegraphed to, but she has not been there. - The
furlough of Mr. Green is about to expire, and any
information abont the missing woman, left with
Chief Ruggles at the Mayor’s office will be for
warded to him.
A Soldier Shot in Camp— Geo. Wells,
ot Delaware, a member of the 43d Regiment V. S.
Colored Troops, was shot last week at Camp Wm.
Penn, He had joined the 25th regiment, hut de
serted, and afterwards enlisted in the 43d regi
ment, under the name of Haws. He was placed
in the-guard-house for unruly conduct, and while
there drew a knife upon the guard and also npou
the Sergeant, a man named Coffey, belonging to
BULLETIN BUILDING 112 SOUTH THIRD ST.
the 32d regiment. The latter reported the case to
the commandant of the post, aud was ordered to
take the knife away, or to shoot the man if he
made any resistance: Sergeant Coffey obeyed bis
instructions. Weils drew the knife upon him
again and was shot dead. The deceased was buried

left Trenton on Tuesday, and arrived Here yester-
J', f e !I K °, n ' et'eamping at Harrowgate in the
Twenty-third ward. This morning it came into
the city, passing np Chestnut street about eleven
o clock. The regiment is 1200 strong, and is com
posed of as fine a body of men as con id be got
together. The men are uniformed as hussars, are
fully aimed aud equipped, and well' mounted.
The regiment attracted great attention as it parsed
through ihe street.
An Excellent Appointment. —'We leara
that at the earnest soli citation of the members of
the Com Exchange, Col. James P. Perot, late
Adjutant of the llcth p. Y., has been appointed
flour inspector for this city, for the ensuing three
yfcais. Governor Curtin could not have made a
more acceptable appointment. Col. Perot served
ably as .Lieutenant-Colonel of the ‘‘emergency*’
regiment raised by the Corn Exchange Associa
,u-. He was for several years in the flour trade
in this city, and brings a wide experience to his
aid in his new office.
tURLOCGBS TO PUPILS OP THE MILITARY

days, to non-commissioned officers aud privates

for applicants for commands of colored troop 3,
located in this city. These furloughs are to be
issued to men whose character, conduct and capa
city will warrant their recommendation for com
missioned appointments in the regiments of colored
troops.
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.
Bill Signed.—We are informed that the
Governor has signed the. bill to incorporate the
Cold Spring Ice and Coal Company of the City of
Philadelphia. The Company wifi be organized
at once, and starts under very favorable circum
stances. It is understood that Mr. Thomas E.

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

Making a Bioiknino.—lf yon do not begin
you will never come to the end. The first weed
pulled up iu the garden, the first seed set in the
ground, the first shilling pnt in the savings bank,
and the first mile, traveled on a journey, are all
important things’; they make a beginning, and
thereby give a hope, promise, a pledge, an assu
rance that you are in earnest with what you have
undertaken. 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

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

Verdict for plaintiff §9,498 20.
Charles J. Wolbert vs. The City of Philadelphia.
In equity. 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. The com
plainant, on the 2ist of June, 1862, became seized
in fee of the lot of ground in question, and of the'
rights ana privileges aforesaid; that the city now 1
holds and owns the said lot of ground conveyed by
Moliere to E. K. Price; that the city has taken
possession and is altering the same for the purpose
ofadaptirgtbesainetotheuee of a publiopark,
and have thus interfered with complainant’a
right* and privileges, and the city threaten ta -
wholly debar the complairantfrom'his privileges,
and he therefore prays an injunction to prevent
the city from interfering with him.
The city answer that the complainant bag not an
estate in the land: thatit isnot on easement; that
the complainant has merely a license, under
argument.
THE SANITARY COMMISSION TN FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Fla., March l, '1854.— F, A.
Knapp., Esq —Sib: Perhaps already yon have had
inlormation of a disastrous battle to our forces on
the 20th ultimo.
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.’*

AMUSEMENTS,
Tax AacH But three nights remain of the en
gagement ol Hr. and Mrs. Barney Williams.
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. Williams appears in ‘ ‘Tho
Irish Tutor,” and in “The Irish Tiger,” and
Mrs. Williams enacts nine different parts In tha
