It is larelv that we find frothrone so young such felicitous and poetic descriptions of nature as to the ‘Summer Night.’ The influence of Whittier has created a school of poetry m onr country, which is .distinct from that of Europe, as onr school of landscape painting differs from that of the Old World A BUMMER NIGHT.

Soft, lazy breezes float from off the hills To lull the flowers to Sleep.

The translation is from (hdtoqmpetent pen of Mr. Wm. W. Thomas, Jt., ottr, late consul at Gothenburg, in Sweden. (The same pub lishers announoe & eequelv to Mrs. South •worth’s “Fair Play,”|a novel Which, for spe cial reasons, has attained an extraordinary popularity. The continuation is called “How he won her.” “The Broken Life,” by Mrs. Ann S.

Dr. Draper’s History of the Civil War (Bvo., Harper & Broß ), wins favorable opin ions, we are glad to find, from that most dif ficult of critics, the London Saturday Re view. After foolishly censuring certain his tories prepared in the North "’for dressing a few laurels Northern government after its victories, the Saturday Review dribbles out its guarded praise as follows: In this respect Dr. Draper sets them an ad mirable example. His History of the Civil 'War, of whiclTthe second volume is now be fore us, is not free trom strong party and na tional prejudice—as may be seen in the man ner in which he treats the notorious procla mation of General Butler. But its very title ■ displays a better spirit man that of most Northern historians of Ore war; the South erners are, as a rule, spoken of, not as “rebels,” but as Contederateß; and full justice is rendered to the bravery of the men, the vir tue, patriotism and patience of the women, and the heroism with which the entire people ■endured the horrors of war, the privations in flicted by the blockade upon a nation ac customed to derive' so large a portion of the necessaries of life from abroad, the desolation carried into their homes by the slaughter of the very flower of their youth and manhood, and the other sufferings which he himself sums up in the emphatic phrase, that the South, during the war, was in a state of siega. But even Dr. Draper [mourns the Saturday Review,'] is not a trustworthy guide. The national vanity that cannot bear to own a failure, nor rest satisfied without trying to explain away a disgrace, leadß him .too lar from sober truth, and even from reasonable probability. Thus when he •laims the campaign of Bull Run as a “political success” _ lor the Federate, basing his argument upon the assertion of an , aggressive purpose on the part of the South, and a defensive one on that of the North — . imputing to the former a design, with a force not bftlf that ot their enemy, to take Wash ington, and denying by implication the noto rious expectation of the Federal Government "andjthe entire North that the army of the ‘ Potomac tgeuld march straight on to Rich mond and capture the Confederate capital at ' ~a hk)W—ho not only provokes a smile at the . moment,, bpt destroys all confidence in Mb ‘ impartiality and accnracy for the future. His present voluaife briß|s the history down to the close of 1862, and the .issue of what its' author described -tas ‘‘the Bull against the; Comet”—Mr. Lincoln’s Emancipation Pro clamalion. 1 ”■ f- ' 7 i - : The second volume of Mr. Henry W. Bal lowßV'The Old World in its new Face,” con tinues the tour from Venice to Naples and Messina, thence to the Orient and Holy Land, thence home through Greece to Northern Italy and Paris. The book is, perhaps, a little too long; for readers only want the most condensed and original impressions about the old routes of travel. Mr. Bellows, however, is so happy a narrator that we forgive his eve, for seeing everything; at the instance of hut tongue, which tells it all sorunningly and ; persuasively. Published by Harpers.

It contains eleven large illustrations, in eight octavo pages. The selection of words, a matter of very delicate tact in such an enterprise, is made with great discretion; few are admitted whose meaning is universally, known, and hardly any seem to be left out which would probably ba ob jects of inquiry. The definitions are full: that of the first word, age, fills three columns, with three pictures; and they are up to the time; that of another word, agriculture, con tains surveys of 1808. The present number finishes With Akber. The seventh number will contain extended definitions of the words Alabama, Alario, Alaska, Albania, Albany, Albumen, Alchemy and Alcibiadeb, and twelve illustrations.

NEW PARIS PUBLICATIONS. “Le Diable, sa grandeur et sa decadence.” Par J.-M. Cayla. Paris, E. Dentu. Re ceived from Penington & Sons. No more phantoms! Down with the mons tefs I exclaims, atthe conclusion of his study of demonology, the author of “Ces Bons Messieurs de St Yincent-de-Paul” and of “Le Diable.” He professes to have written his book for the purpose of delivering Chris tianity and human reason from the most de structive and odious of all l the symbols bor rowed from the ancient pantheiar® of Asia. In the view of his advanced philosophy, our bugbears about the devil and hell and origi nal sin are only the engines which fanaticism has been employing for centuries to brutify and affright humanity. Armed with all the zeal of Voltairian reform, he devotes him- self, through four hundred pages of the size called in 18 jeans, to stripping off the mask, and removing the harlequinade, of this proverb and chimsera and juggler whom we call the devil. Alter a prefatory rhapsody addressed to Satan in person, (throughout which we may perceive a profound obligation to Chateau briand’s Version of the Paradise Lost,) the author becomes historical and practical in his first chapter. His earliest sources are the rabbms and the obscure histories of the Talmud; the hours or Adam’s first day, only ten of which elapßed before his disastrous aa- quaintasce with the tempter, are recited after these ghostly authorities. At the first hour,God collected the dust of the earth and made the embryo; at the second, Adam was on his feet; at the fourth (M. Cayla admires the prompti tude with which the first man constituted himself encyclopedist), Adam named the ani mals; the seventh was occupied with his mar riage with Eve, whom the Creator presented to him after having dressed her hair (we cannot but find something delicate, tender and all oriental in that touch); at the tenth hour Adam sinned, and by the twelfth he was al ready tasting the trouble and sweat ef labor. The account of the fall M. Cayla takes entire from Milton, whom he evidently acoept3 with innocence as the recognized mythographer of the proteßtants; but he borrows from the rabbins again the pedigree ot Cain, offspring of Eve and the tempter. In the next chapter our author takes up the history of Noah, which seems to him likely to have been learned by Moses from the Egyptian priests; [Binoe Renan has taught them the pleasant sad fruitful vice of guess ing, the French have plunged with abandon into gneßswork of about this complexion]' and discusses the question whether the vine was planted by the devil. Then traoing the saltatory attendence of Satan upon the Jewish race through their whole history and bond age under the Egyptians, he lands the chosen people,after the death of their chief historian, in Syria, in the full contagion of the myths of Asia Minor. Chapters 111., IY. and V. are devoted to ' prolonging the history of demonology through the Jewish and Christian dispensations, into the sombre mental condition of the middle ages, wherein all dark notions had such wel come root and snch fantastic luxuriance of outgrowth. The devil,through the remaining chapters, does not come much further down in point of time; for at the Renaissance (the word a French author always uses when a German or English one would say Reforma tion ) the hero of our history ceased to grow, if he did not cease to live. . The myths which fill the middle portion of the book are the curious phantoms whoBC birth was in the dark ages; and the strange grinning images am asst d by M. Cayla out of history and legend, people a large portion of his mono graph with types as evidently medieval,aß the strange figures left by the same centuries upon the corbels and gargoyles of the cathe- THE DAILY EVENING BIJLLETIN-HPHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1869. jdrals. JM. Cayla, however, prolongs his study to our own timeß by reciting the , fantasies of: protestantlsm, the conVttetoixists "and hys terical saints, and conclhfles with an analysis ofinodern spiritualism, afollyinspired.as he believes, by the same] maggot in the human brain which erst gave origin to,the fantastic bugbear of Satan. M. Cay la’s light, railing method is not at all adapted to the average protestant reader, to whom the tempter is a daily presence, only too plainly felt and-ftdbidlsastronsty known; and a great deal of his mockery might be nullified by a little child with some plain query about the necesßityand ' origin of evil in the world. Bo far as the historical study goes, however, it is industrious, clear, complete, and therefore useful; and clergymen and bible students may find a curious and exhaustive repository of that kind of lore in this tract which Will at first repel them. i 7 “Les Monstres Marins.” Par. Armand Lan drin; ouvrage illustrd de 47 vignettes. Paris, Hachette & Cie. Rebeivbd„from Penington & Sons. 1 ; J.; Hachette and Company would deservo our deprecation rather than our thanks if, in their. library of over thirty “Books of Wonders,”, they weie hot ckreful to eicluda"all inauthen tic and deceptive pieces ,of information; for! genuine science has hardly any enemy so the “marvel” qf the traveler orj dilettante. We believe,, however, , that the different authors employed ! by ; this worthy firm are as respectable sa titey are entertain -i ing; and we would recommend to some Ame rican publisher, with more confidence than 1 almost any enterprise ,we can think of, the translation of this whole 'library of strange lore,—the fairy-talesof science. 7 I The book of Marine Monsters is compiled I with great care by M. Landfill from every' | reliable source at hand; tee greater part o f I these sources 1b necessarily foreign, for the I French are not especially a maritime people, I and the narratives of American whalers and English explorers are the rich field from which the harvest of the sea is to be most abundantly reaped. In at leaßtone case, however, that of the sepia (the pieuvre of Hugo’s “Toilers of the Sea,”) M- Landrin finds his most reliable .witness in a French officer, M. Bonyer, lieutenant of the Bteamer 1 Alecton, w*ose paper on the cuttle-fish was communicated to toe Academy of Sciences in 1862. The descriptions of the various wonders of the sea and shore have been culled by our author with great care and with lively relish, and he is not least amusing when he reoites toe various myths which human fancy has in various ages located in toe wonder breeding sea. This branch of his subject leads him to such fantasies as Barnum’s mermaid and the Glocester Bay sea-serpent of 1817; bnt the authentic marvels are, after all, the most interesting. The illustrations, amount ing to nearly fifty, are so accurate and artistic as to add greatly to the clearness oi toe descriptions. We have only to say farther, in recom mending this series to students of French who wish to be well entertained while per fecting themselves in foreign syntax, that Hachette cannot print otherwise than with brilliant type on beautiful paper, and that each volume is a convenient handfal of three to four hundred pages X2mo, and vendible by Messrs. Penington at one dollar currency. ; “Les Timbres-Poste. Catalogue metho dise et descriptif de tons les timbres-poste coup us.

Imagine 140 pages, quite filled with the indications of the various postal stamps of the world, and this only ol the “timbres"property so-called! What a be wildering notion this gives of the letter writing mania of our literary age! WOMEN’S RIGHTB AND WRONGS. Mrs. Francis D. Gage,in “Looking Back,” gives personal reminiscences, and tells how she became interested in the Woman’s Rights movement, and of its progress. We quote a single incident from her very interesting ar - At twenty, I married. My husband was a lawyer. One day, years ago, a woman called at our home to see him. Her husband had been ' intoxicated, and had beaten her and turned her. out of the house, and kept her children from her. She had married him while he was poor. Her’fatber, dying, had bequeathed her a farm and house, horses, eattle, sheep and money. Into this house the husband moved. Into the comforts and use o the money he installed himself as master, aud she Seon found herself a pauper dependent on his bounty. He starved her, beat her chil dren, aud compelled excessive labor from her and them. She bad come to my husband to learn what she should do. “Leave him,” said he. “But he won’t let me have my children.” “No, in law, they belong to him.” “The property is mine. ” “In law, net one cent of it except enough for your necessary support.” “Well, if I could have my say about that — and my children ?” “But you cannot. He can keep the chil dren. You must have an arbitration of men to say what ought to be enough for your necessary support.” “Didn’t my father give it all to me?” “Certainly, but the law gives it to your husband.” “Can’t I sue him for beating me ?” M “Not in your own name.” ! “Suppose you sue him for me, could Ithen get damages ?” \ “Any damage that would accrue, would go to other parties. If you will leave him, and the Children with him,” continued my hus band, as she sat utterly silenced, “I will do all I can for you. But I warn yen. He has money aud you have none,and public opinion here allows a man to whip his wife out of the house and whip her In again, especially if he is drunk. Are you strong enough toTeave your children and abide the issue ?” “My God, no! the youngest is a baby.” “Then I cannot help you unless you sue for assault and battery, and have him bound over to keep the peace.” “If 1 should do that he would kill me.” M suppose ho would maltreat you.” Slowly the poor woman tobo from, her chair, and, in-a voice that went to ourßpute, said, simply, as she went out, “i must go to my children.” , - < i Hdw many women are there, even to-day, whose sad experiences are paralleled by the incident above giyeD, who ean toll. , ’ ;i“; . ' Tbe Use of Sparrows. ’ A writer in Once a Week says of titeso JllflebirdsjifiSv «§f A? ; I “Mr- Edward Wilson, whose labere in toe department of acclimatization are universally recognized.ind to I tolstake^O^ Australia owes its sparrows, has ascertained that fid less' than fourteen hundred eock- Schafers’ wings have been found below the I nest of one pair of sparrows. Each female insect produces about forty grubs,which bur row for three years in the ground, preying upon the crops during this time to an enor mous . .client. ' As many as one hun dred thousand of these grubs have been found on one acre of land, ana as each ’ acre will grow about forty thousand mahgOlds'or turnips there are about three grubs to* each root! In some years the damage done by this single insect in -France ■ alone has been estimated at the astounding sum of £40,000,000! A very simple calcu lation shows that, simply in feeding their young, a single pair of sparrows annually prevent the production of fourteen thousand grubs, and the account in favor of the birds is not yet complete, for .sparrows by” no means restrict themselves to cock-ohafers, even when these delicacies are in season, but will eat almost any kind of inseotorgrub that comes in their way. : “Mr. Wood, in his ‘Ulustrated -Natural Historv,’ 1862, says that a single pair of these birds were once watched for a day, and were seen to parry to their youngno less than forty grabs per hour. Such labors as these 7 are not to be disregarded. Let a somewhat .stout farmer, especially if he is dressed in the .orthodox style of top boo„tB and rathaLtight clothing about , toe girths, attempt to uring home forty grubs in an hour, and we are much • mistaken if at the end of that time he does net feel a greater respect for the sparrows. Wherever toe sparrows and other small birds have been exterminated, the crops have been destroyed by the consequent increase of in- 1 sects: and in several cates toe same-govern-, ments which Ordered the destruction of birds have been compelled to revoke their law, i and issue orders ’ for their protection. The l bslanee of nature cannot be rashly interfered | w ith by blind mortals without evil conse quences.” ■ TBUB Oil. JKEOIONS* Tho Present Prospects. A correspondent of toe Pittsburgh Commercial, wilting from Oil City, says; Considerable development has been in progress dar ing thewlnter.in this neighborhood, and generally Hiih satisfactory results. Many small wells have been struck on tbe flats above town, and some abandoned wells cleared ont and rctubed with good results. The developments presented on Charley and Shaffer runs hove been gradually successful, and so far as the ex periments have been made indteate that the whole lohle lend bounded by Shaffer run on the west. Corn planter run on the north. Oil Creek" on the east, and the Allegheny river on the south.to be good promising I territory. Last fall there were few customers for leases for this territory at an eighth royalty. A little later and a quarter whs asked. Now three-eighths are ihe beet terms to be had, and most of the territtory in what ie considered tbe best localities cannot bo had a, less than a half royalty. A great many leases have been taken, and as soon as spring opens, and the weather becomes favorable to out ofdoor work, many new. wells will be put down, . On Saturday a well was tested in the borough limits, on the bank of the creek a short distance above Cen ter street. It is producing thirty-five barrels of oil per day. and has occasioned considerable excitement in the neighborhood and a sudden rise in town lots The well Fe fonr hundred and ninety-eight feet deep.

This great enterprise la rap. . ,ly approaching completion. About (1600) tixteen hundred pMu have been built by two (3) powerful companiee;. the Union Pacific Railroad, begiimiegit OmtfiaTtuUtoir we«t.and the Central Faclfio Railroad, beginning at Sacramento, and building east, until the two roads shall meet. About two hundr d miles lemain to be built, lie greater pah of the Interval Is now graded, and It Is reasonably expected that the through connection between San Francisco and New York will be completed by June L As the amount of Government aid given to each Is de pendent upon the length of road each shall build, both companies are prompted to great efforts to secure the construction and control of what, when completed, will be one and the only grand Railroad lAtu connecting the Atlantic and Pacific eoattA One Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars (8120.000,000) in money bavrstready bean expended by the two power ful companies engaged In this great enterprise, and thoy will speedily eomplctc-tbe portion-jet to bo. built. _ The Government aid te the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Padfio Railroad may be briefly summed up as follows: First—The right of way and all necesssp timber and etoce from public domaic* Second—lt makes a donation of 123 W acrosof land to the mile, which, when the road fa comnloted,wUl amount to twenty-three million (28.0)0,000) acres.

The Government has already loaned the Union Pacific Railroad twenty-four million six hundred and ninety eight thousand dollars (821,608.000), and to the Central Pacifio Railroad seventeen million nine hundred and sUty-four thousand dollan ($17,961,000). amounting In all to forty-two million six hundred and sixty-two thousand dollan (842.662,000). The Companies are permitted to Issue their own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as they receive from the United Btates. and no more. The companies have sold to permanent investors upwards of (840,000,000) forty million dollan of their Pint Mortgage Bonds.

On motion bf Mr. Morrill (Vl), the bill to authorize the importation of machinery for re pairs was taken np and passed. At 4 o’clock the Senate went Into Executive ses sion, and soon after took a recess till 7 P. M. livening Session The Senate reassembled at 7 P. M. The River and Harbor bill was token up. Mr. Chandler, from the Committee on Com merce, reported favorably the House bill for the xcjpeal of tonnage duties on Spanish vessels. Afro.'adversely the Honse bill to repeal the act «f March 2, 1867, regulating the disposition of fines and forfeitures received under the custom laws. The consideration of (ho River and Harbor bill ■was resumed, and several amendments, reducing the appropriations, were agreed to. At 10 P. M. the Senate adjourned. Hocsa.—'The consideration of the resolution of Mr. Butler,protesting against tho counting of the vote of Georgia, was continued. Mr. Eldridgo declared his belief that tho coa ctnrent resolution and the twenty-second joint rule were, both of them, In contravention of the Constitution. He had raised that ques tion of order yesterday, and If it had been sus tained all the difficulties In which the House and the convention were Involved yesterday would have been avoided. The Constitution provided expressly that the President of the Senate should count the electoral votes In presence of the Houseand the Senate. It was his dnty, there fore, eimply to open and couDt the votes. The concurrent resolntion was, In hla judgment, an ntter nullity. Mr. Bingham (Ohio) said he thought that the resolution of censnre was a proposition that the members of the Honse should solemnly by vote declare themselves violators of the law under their oath. It waa a controlling principle with him that whether satisfied with a law or not he was bound to obey it. The concurrent resolntion tinder which the joint convention had acted yes terday waa obligatory on tho presiding officer of the Senate. The resolution offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts was contra dicted by the written record. That record was mode up in the very letter and spirit of the .conemrent resolntion. And now, he continued, comes this gentleman, asking the Honso to stul tify itself, to say to the oountrv in fact that the people must, to nee the gentleman's own worderhave feeoffreo to the sacred right of revo lution. Sir, the righLof revolution is never sa cred, save when exercised In vindication of a right and In redress of a wrong. The sacred right oi revoluUon Is invoked hero for the purpose of violating yonr own law. Mr. Bauer—Will tho gentleman allow me— Mr. Bingham—No, sir. Mr. Bntier—l only waut to say that you are not using my words In the constrnctlon that I used them In. Mr. Bingham—Tho gentleman’s remarks do nof appear In the Globe this morning, but I find the gentleman's speech reported by the official representative of tho press of the country. I am glad that the gentleman takes back his words. Mr. Bntier—l take back nothing. Mr. Bingham—Then I ask the House to com pel you to take back your revolutionary resolu tion; that Is something that the gentleman caUhot retract, and I denounce It hero to-day before the Honse and before the people of the conntry os being as unwarrantable as any act of eecoaalon. 1 denounce, os a representative oi tho people.tkla attempt to Inaugurate revolution upon the floor of this House. I will oppoeo the roterenco of the resolution, as scorning to commit the House In some sort to a challenge of your own law. How would it look for us to refer another resolution, suggested by the speech of the gentleman (Mr. Butler), and that* Is that the House should be authorized, to DsWthe gentleman’s .language, If the Senate would not retire from the jotatcou ■yention, *‘,to kick It ont." The gentleman from Massachusetts Bbould be the captain In the kick ing operation. j Laughter. | I think the gentleman cannot gainsay his speech In that behalf, which brought down the galleries and split the ears of the grouudllngß;and It illustrated the animus of his resolution. I de nounce it here os a resolntion of revolution. I de ““““ceß as a resolntion of anarchy.

Mr. Speaker, it will be a sad day for America when it jfocs one to tbo country that the Honse of Rep resentatives denounces a commissioned officer of tbo people acting under the obligation of bis -oath for. obeying tbeiaw oven lntneprescuco of amobwhlch would disgrace any assembly of men that ever convened on the face of God's earth. Mr. Schenck agreed that the concurrent reso lution did not touch 'the question as to what should be done when the certificates were opened. It did not reach the question of count ing. He did not think that the concurrent reao lntlon and the twenty-second rule conflicted with each other, He revlewcd the proceedings of yes terday down to the point where tho presiding of ficer announced that the objection of tho gentle man from Massachusetts was overruled by the Senate; and gentlemen wonder, he cpnuiined, that any of us should conclude that, In any form of language Whatever, it Is proper to consider this decision an Invasion of the rights of the House of Representatives. If it be not, then we are the merest ornamental appendage to this pro ceeding of counting the votes that ever' one body was made when dancing attendance on another.' ■ 1 Farther discussion followed, Mr. Colfax de fending bis action In calling upon the Sergeant at-Arms, and Mr. Garfield strongly censuring the disorder of yesterday. Mr. Garfield Concluded by moving that the pending resolutions be laid upon the table, whereupon Mr. Butler exclaimed, -‘Tbatlfl'themeenestactTeversaw'any mando. There were cries of order, and Mr. Garfield with drew bis motion. Mr. Bntler then made a speech in advocacy of hispoaitlop. Mr. Bntler modified his resolutions as follows: Resolved, That the House protests against the manner of procedure and tbe order of The Presi dent of the Senate pro tem. in the presence of tbe two Houses, in counting the vote of Georgia In obedience to the order of the Senate oni'y|aad against his acts in dissolving the convention of the two Houses at his own wIU, as an. invasion of tbe rights and privileges oftna Houses. Resolved, That the above resolution be and hereby is referred to a select committee ot five, with leave to report at any time, by bill or other wise. At 4.80 the Honse took a recess. Evening Session. —The House reassembled at ,7-P. M-, and proceeded to. dispose of private bills reported from tbe Committee on Invalid Pen sions, and then adjourned.

Filler, W. EL Kern, and others. A bill was presented to the Honse of 8950 for pay of witnesses in the Bunn and Witham con tested election case. The size of the bill caused Messrs. Nicholson, Herr, and other Republicans, to inquire into Its items, and it was referred to a committee, with instructions to ascertain the amount duo to each witness. Several curious statements wore made by members, among them one by Mr. Nicholson (Rep.), who said that he had heard, before the present session of the Legis lature opened, that a certain seat was to be con tested, and that both the Bitting member and the contestant were to receive full pay. This had very nearly coma true. Mr. Brown (Deqa.), of Clarion, repeated a conversation between two witnesses in Philadelphia, *who had agreed that It was a "good thing” to be a witness In a con tested election case.

A supplement to the militia law, requiring the payment of one dollar militia tax, was consid ered. It was originally Intended to apply to ruralJUstricts, but waa amended, on motion of Mr. Hong, to include Philadelphia. Mr. Jones (Dem.), of Berks, moved to amend .by making a penalty of fifty dollars for noa-par 'ifclpatlon in militia duties. He explained that If the real intention of the bill was to organizo the people into militia forces, the penalty for non compliance should be large; but, if tbe idea-was only to make some of the citizens pay the ex penses of others who wanted to play soldier, tho bill was wrong. The amendment was lost by 14 ayes to 75 noes. Mr. Brown (Rep.), of Huntingdon, moved to amend by making the tax fifty cents. This was lost by to 47. Finally, ono dollar was agreed upon, and nine months and other nctnal volnnteers wore exempt from militia fine or daty. Tho House refused, however, to exempt those who had furnished substitutes or paid commutation. The bill passed, to the third reading, and was laid over in con sequence of there not being two-thirds In its favor to suspend the rules. Adjourned.
