Notices of New Books.
Llppinrott Company have published, beauti
fully printed upon tinted paper, from the last Lon
don edition, it "Now Dictionary of Quotations,' ,
from the Crock, Latin, and modern languages,
translated into English, and occasionally accom
panied with illustrations, historical, poetical, and
anecilotel. This promise; given on the title-page,
Is fully home out in the body of the work. Tho
quotations are uotmerely classical, and the illustra
tive examples are amusing and instructive, as well
nit various. The volume is rendered extremely
complete by the addition of a full index, which
enabled you, if you recollect only one leading word,
instantly to obtain the quotation which you want.
Wu have made over
_a hundred test trials, and
were foiled only once. The index alone occupies
nearly sixty piles.
The tame publishers have issued, in one vol.
num., Tho Glory of the house of Israel or the
Hebrew's Pilgrimage to the Holy City : confiding
n Piolure of Judaism in the Century which pre
ceded the Advent of our Saviour." This Is trans
lated from the Germain of Erederick Strauss. It
has already been published in London, under the
title of "Helen's Pilgrimage to Jerusalem." It
may be viewed either as a historical novel, or as a
faithful exposition of Jewish manners, customs,
rites, and expeetntions at en ern immediately be
fore the advent of Jesse Christ. It shows the
domestic, religious, and civil life of the Jews just
before the commencement of the Christian era.
Bible-renders will especially ho gratified with this
volume.
Parry & McMillan. of this city, have republish.
ed, 'from the second Edinburgh edition, "The
Eighteen Christian Centuries," by tho Itcv. James
White, a popular historian, poet, and preacher,
on the other side of the water. Its character may
be described in one sentence,—it is a history, pic
turesque as well no accurate, of Christianity, from
Its commoncement, Each chapter is devoted to a
single century. Seldom has avast quantity of ma

also, is the extonsivo index, which closes the work.

Besides the vary neat edition of Miss Mulock's
last volume, "A Life for n Lifet'lately published
by Messrs. Harper, of New York, we have, from
the same house, en illustrated volumo ended
"Harry Lee; or Hope for the Poor "—a story of
real life, the scone partly in New York and partly
in the country ; a story of which religions faith
and fooling make the basis, without_ being too ser
monly obtruded—in short, a Welt-written story,
which should do good to those who toad it:
Another book from the Harpers is "The Stu
dent's Hume," in one small Bvo. volume of nearly
800 pages. It is humus wall-known History of
England to the Revolution of 1088 ; abridged, cor
noted and improved by the researches of later
writers, and continued to the close of 1838. It is
illustrated with many engravings on wood—por

Tho chronology of important events, and copious
notes and authorities, are added to each chapter,
and the events are brought down to the end of last
year. Finally, and to conclude, there is quite a
treasure of an Index—full, exact, and well or
ranged. We shall place this History of England
on the next-to-hand shelf, whereon stand (some few
occasionally lying) our backs of immediate and
frequent reference. It is a comfort to have such a
reliable book at band. Students will also have it,
and it will inevitably supersede that poputar but
not very correct book, goldsmith's Abridgment of
English History, in schools and private teaching.

teachers and learners are eloquently discussed in
:his book, and the higher Christian education is
t ioveloped with clearness and sagacity, evolving a
programme of instruction and study which can
scarcely fail to snake a completely educated per

School, Lebanon, Ohio. Of this volume we have
only to say that it carries out the fullest purpose
indicated by its title, and contains muck informa

Holmes, of Cortland, Now York. This is a histo
rical work commencing with the early British Go
vernment of the Colonies, and giving a sketch of
each President's Administration, down to the close
of the last session of Congress. The author's
views are rather of the Republican than the Demo
cratic school, but ho endeavors to present a faith
ful view of public affairs, and his book is a con
densed political history of the Union.
George Vandenhoff, well known as a stage-per
former and public lecturer or render, has just pub

A chatty, gossippy, anecdotal book it ; impartial,
communicative, and entertaining. Mr. Vanden
holt; a highly-educated man, (like his father before
him,) writes like a gentleman, and we have only
two faults to find with his book. The bulk of
those for whom he has written are unacquainted
with any language but their own, yet, for their
evident discomfort, ho has peppered his pages with
French words and phrases, where English would
have been just as expressive. Ilia other fault is
that he introduces too many extracts from news
paper criticisms upon his own performances. Mr.
Vandenhoff has reins nett to the law, Iris original
profession, and practices at New York. He some
times appears before the public as the Interpreter
of Bhakspeare's inspired page, in the Lee t use-room,
instead of at " the footlights." lie has the good
fertune to possess a lovely, gifted and accomplished
wife, (lately Miss Maltealt,) and, looking buck
through twenty years of reasonable success on the

are past—that, as an art, acting is fast dying out—
and that the fliseinations of a dramatic life are now
no where. His book is published by Messrs. Apple

The same publishers linen sent us an octavo, by
Dr. Thomas Antlers'', l'rofessor of Chemistry in
Georgetown College, D. C., upon " The Manufac
ture of Photogoulo or Hydro-Carbon Oils, from Coal
and other Bituminous Substances, capable of sup
plying Burning Fluids." The author, an excellent
chemist, claims that this treatise "is the first pub
lished monograph on the art of distilling oils from
minerals containing Bitumen "--ass art rapidly
advancing, which promises to supply a better
and safer light than camphono or tiny of those
highly explosive fluids. The historical intro
duction and the descriptions of the processes
of distillation are very full of information.
The state of the manufacture of hydro-carbon
oils in foreign countries is indicated very clearly by
Dr. Antisell, who occupies a position in the United
States Patent 011ie°, which imposes the duty of ex
amining a large class of patented operations, in

RNw Or,LEAvs, lot., October 7, IMO
MY DEAR Pease: The country through which
the railroad from Columbus city passes has but
little of interest or attraction to the traveller. Still
it presents points of difference from what we had
been accustomed to, which did not fail to be noted.
The mat of the land was unimproved, largo tenets
of swamp, with a heavy growth of timber and
dense underbrush, stretching away;on either sideof
the rallrond. As it wag Saturday—a great store
day in this part of the country, when the people
come into the towns and villages, or to "Me store,"
to make their purchases—at all the stations along
the road numbers of saddle-horses and mules,
which latter are not unfrecteently need under the
meddle, were to be seen tied to trees or racks in
tho rear of the stores, while their owners were
making purchases inside, or discussing matters and
things in general In groups around the doors. The
most of the towns or stations we passed were but
little more than collections of from six to ten frame
buildings, of which two or three stores were the
largest and most prominent. Trenton, however,
the county seat of Gibson county, Tennessee, of
which town the principal portion was some half
mile from the railroad depot, appeared to be
quite a largo place, comparatively, with a court
house and several °burettes, in view from the rail
road. But no other tharartune buildings were to
be seen. At Humboldt we changed cars, and took
the Memphis and Ohio road. The station-houses
on this rood are of a' uniform pattern, and built
with a view both to neatness of appearimoo and ac
commodation of the travel. Beyond Oadtelen, five
miles from Humboldt, we saw the first cotton field,
and from thence onward had increaaing evidences
of the magnitude of the great cotton interest.
Much of the cotton we saw growing was of an in
ferior quality—the plants low, and the bolls few and
small. At tho different stations on our way down
there was little freight to be seen except cotton
bales, which aro sent from the plantations to the
elation by the planters on wagons or trucks, hold
ing from finer to six bales, and drawn usually by
four mules, The bales aro then transported by
railroad to Memphis, whence they are shipped to
Now Orleans by steamboat. We passed one freight
train of twenty-nine eight-wheeled ears, all loaded
with cotton. The cotton from this region, how
ever, does not all go southward, so many planters
are sending it directly north upon the railroads by
way of Columbus oily and Cairo, to Chicago, and
thence eastward. We 131119 but ono field where the
bonds were picking the cotton. Each plantation
has a gin -house and screw-press, for the purpose of
ginning the cotton, or cleaning it front the aced,
and pressing it Into bales for shipment.
At Brownsville, Haywood county, Tennessee,
which is a town of some importance, and the centre
of a large cotton-planting region, we stopped for din
nor. We had our choice of a plateful of dinner
brought down to the ears and submitted to our in
spection, which we at oneo declined, or of walking
up a steep, muddy hill, in the hot‘sun, some quar
ter of a mile, to the hotel, which did not present a
sufficiently inviting appearance to induce us to
make the effort. The reports brought back by the
adventurers who did try it welt, strongly confirma
tory of tho wisdom of our decision. "Such a din
nor!" as ono of them briefly yet eloquently re
marked. On the route from Columbus we had
crossed the Obion river and some three or tour forks
or branches of the Forked Deer river, and just be
fore reaching Memphis crossed the Wolf river,
which empties into the Mississippi at this point.
These streams aro very much of the same general
character, with deep, narrow channels, and subject
to sudden and rapist rises, causing them to overflow
their banks often to a considerable distance.
The depot of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad is
ogle northern end of the city, upon what was for
merly a part of the Memphis navy yard, which has
been abandoned for some years; but the substan
tial buildings erected by the Government yet re
main, though applied to different purposes from
what they were originally designed. No vessel was
over built et We yard, but large quantities of rope
were manufactured for the use of the navy.
Memphis is situated on the easterly bank of the
Mississippi, seven hundred and twenty-nine miles
above New Orleans, upon the fourth Chtelasase
B/afT. The first Chickasaw Bluff is about eighty
miles above Memphis. These bluffs aro steep
banks which are sonic sixty or one hundred feet
above the level of the water at an ordinary stage.
The bluff at Memphis has been cut down for some
distance along the front of the city to a distance of
one hundred or one hundred and fifty feet back
from the edge of the river, affording a convenient
lcroo or landing and tootling place f or the name.
rous oteam boat:which are so marked a feature in
the river trade. At one place the bluff has been en
tirely cut down, and the slope evenly graded back
to the street, which runs in front of the first row of
stores which fronts i he river upon the top of the bluff,
and from which the city extends back inland. This
portion of the levee is being covered or paved
with stone, and when completed will form a per
manent and substantiel improvement. Where the
bluff has not been entirely graded down, the streets
are cat through it down to the levee.
The city extends along the river for two miles,
and is about one mile wide, while the suburbs, con
taining many elegant residences and country seats,
extend to some distance buck front the river. The
streets are wide and regularly laid out at right an
gles, but the light alluvial character of the soil
renders it difficult to find a paving which will re
main firm, and not give when the rains of winter
soak the ground. The stores ore mostly large and
well-built, and contam complete and elegant as
ortments of goods; and the ware-houses of more
substantial build, are filled with the heavier arti
cles of produce, manufactures and merchandise.
A largo amount of building is going on, and the
whole city presents an air of busy prosperity. The
bluff, although the busy season had hardly com
menced, was cot Or ed with bales of cotton, steam
ers were arriving and departing, and the levee
constantly presented a busy some, with the load
ing and discharging of cotton and other freight of
the steamers.
On Sunday, we attended the Second Presbyterian
Church, in the morning, and heard Dr. lirundy
preach a sermon, the burden of which was directed
against the doctrine of immersion. A large and
well-dressed congregation filled the church, and
wo were much pleased with the courtesy and at
tention of the gentlemen of the congregation to
whom was assigned the duty of showing strangers
to seats Dr. thundy is a forcible preacher in his
manner, and in his style of preaching reminded us
somewhat of Rev. John Chambers. In the after.
noon, having some curiosity to see a colored con
gregation, we wont to the Second Baptist Church,
the ba , enient of which is occupied by the blacks.
The room wan quite well filled when we entered,
but wo were accommodated with seats. The pulpit
or dusk was occupied by two very black negroes—
both slaves, and ono an ordained preacher;
by is white minister, who was in the middle of
his sermon when see entered, rind by a white
man, a member of the congregation worshipping
in the upper or main portion of the building. A
city ordinance renders the presence of at least tee
white mon necessary in any meeting of the blacks.
The discourse was not characterised by any s ery
groat ability of thought or diction, and the
exposition of the chapter of Revelations which
formed its Eubjec t, certainly gave us some new, if
not correct, ideas of exegesis The views expressed
differed entirely from those entertained by the
preacher of the morning. Tne congregation seemed
attentive and orderly, and the women at least were
most of them neatly, and some even fashionably,
attired. There slid not strike us as being any very
marked difference between this and any reveals
hie colored congregation to be found in Philadel
phia. After the sermon, the whole congregation
adjourned outside, whore three persons, two women
and one man, all light mulattoes, were immersed.
One of the women and the man were apparently
deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occa
sion, nud their quiet and modest deportment much
pleases! us. The other woman had an exuberance
end extravagance in the loud expressions of praise
and jay alto made, which struck us unfavorably.
The bell of this church is hong in quite n primitive
manner, in the crotch of a tall tree.
On Monday, wo paid a visit to a slave market,
and were very politely reoeis ed by the des ler,
who readily afforded us every opportunity of in
specting the premises, and gave us all the informa
tion we desired. Ife had about one hundred and
fifty negroes, of different ages and sexes, on hand,
fur sale. In the busy season, which commences

one side, rho women on the other—of a room in

Meeting of the State-Rights Demoetn.
cy of the Twenty-third Ward.
(Reported for The Frees.]
A meeting of the Democracy of the Twenty
third was held at Bridesburg on Wednesday eve
ning, in order to take such measures as were most
suitable to secure the election of Henry C. Dit
man 1143 a delegate to the Democratic State Conven
tion to moot at Harrisburg.
The meeting was called to order by William H.
Fliteraft, who nominated the following gentlemen
as the officers of the meeting:
President—Jour CORNELL.
Vice Presidenta—Jacob Fox, William Vander
grift, Edward ilenifer , Thomas Comfort, Laban
Smith, William Cooney, George Bargenstock, Wm.
Venter, and John Sprees.
Secretaries—Edward Bre'llford, Wm.H.Fliteraft,
John White, W. J. Lawrence, John Baeher, Thos.
King, and Augustus Keller.
Mr. Flitcraft, in nominating the above-named
gentlemen, made a few pertinent remarks setting
forth the purpose of the meeting and the objects
which animated its movers. In thin age of rebel
lion, when men were read out of the party perio
dically, it was nothing but just that we should come
and reason together. This movement of the party
was originated with reference directly to the Gu
bernatorial Convention at Harrisburg, and indi
rectly to the Presidential movement at Charleston
in 1860. Many of us differed as to who the man
should be representing them at these Conventions;
but we were not animated in this contest by idola
try for man, but by a veneration for a sacred and
time-honored principle. [Applause.]
Henry C. Ditman, En., was then introduced to
the meeting, and was received with loud applause.
Ile appeared there in a prominent position. Ile
felt he had nothing new to tell them. The main
point, however, to which ho begged their earnest
consideration, was the necessity and importance
that existed fur a reform in the manner of conduct
ing primary elections. They ware on the eve of a
most important delegate election. At these pri
mary elections the germ of party organization was
started. If we allowed designing politicians to
manage our affairs, we must hold ourselves reopen
siblo for the baneful results that were Sure to fol
low. The speaker felt he bad fallen on strange
times. Ile had been an active member of the De
mocratic organisation, and a disciple of its purest
principles for a period of twenty-seven years. Ile
had given a great portion of his time to the duties
of the party, and in doing this felt that he was doing
his whole duty. The best material we had was not
toe good for Democratic conventions. As a party,
we had sinned, and as a party Pennsylvania had
grievously punished as. [Applause.]
Ile wanted to call the attention of the citizens to
the importance of having honest men in the
convention for nominating a Governor. That
convention must nominate a candidate who would
do his duty, laying aside all pecuniary interests.
[Applause.] Ile had worked for this party for
many a year, but he felt as if he was tired of work
ing for a party that had abandoned the principles
ot Jefferson, a party that numbered among its
leaders men whom he had been combatting us a
Democrat for a whole life time. [Applause.] Ile
held that every man was entitled to his opinions,
and it was degrading to a man to proscribe his fel
low-Democrats for holding their own legitimate
constitutional opinions. [Applause.] These were
the men who wore anxious to slaughter him, and
only fur the crime of standing by tbo traditions of
Democracy, and the teachings of its fathers. [Ap
plause.] lie did not care whether they sustained
him or not; he wanted them to sustain no man, but
to defend a great principle. [Applause.] •
Mr. Ditman then went on to advocate the great
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, and produced as
an authority in favor of it extracts from the in
augural address of James Buchanan. These ex
tracts were loudly applauded In so plain a mat
ter there was no difficulty of deciding. Any man
following James Buchanan as he was then wilt be
furs to keep in the right path. [Applause.] Ste
phen A. Douglas—deaf abused, traduced, and
greatly persecuted man, [applause]—a man who
had stood by the party in its darkest and dreariest
days, [applause]— bad also advocated a doctrine of
which this was en embodiment. The speaker then
quoted at length from the speeches of Douglas,
which ho sustained as the principles of a pure and
unadulterated Democracy. If he did not carry the
position fur which he was a candidate, be felt he
would at last have the proud satisfaction of know
ing that he had been defeated as the champion of a
great and glorious cause. [Applause.]
Henry L. McConnell was next introduced, and
was received with loud applause. Ile said we
clime not here to celebrate a wictory of the great
Lem, of Dealocraoy. The army had come borne
but it few days ago; but no shouts of victory were
heard, no music accompanied its triumphal hosts.
No; its ranks were broken, its Standards trailing
lit the dust, and its followers dejected and heart
broken. We came there, and came in eorrow, to
inquire what was the reason of that defeat. Was
it to be attributed to the standard-bearers, to the
conouanding officers, or to those who directed the
movements of the army f his thought not. If
heroism could achieve a triumph or perpetuate a
victory, we to-day would have a victory achieved
and a triumph perpetuated. [Applause.] Was
there anything else to be expected trom the result
of Mr. Buchatiarie iniquitous policy of Lecompton
hen then the repeated defeats we now deplore?
At the last two elections the Democratic party had
been overwhelmed because of thin policy on the
part of Mr. Buchanan. Ile would not discuss the
policy of the President; that was a bygow issue.
lie was opposed, however, to the practleellfpro
scribing men because of their opinions; of reading
men out of the Democratic party for holding sen
timents adverse to those of the President. [Ap
plause.]
In the Eighth ward there was an instance of the
policy that has been pursued by these office-holding
gentlemen. The fairly-elected delegate had
seem ousted from his rightful position because he
presumed to think and talk Ai became au anti
becompten man. An anti-Lecorupton Democrat
was es good a Democrat as any body else—and. so
he was true to his convictions, had the right to the
expression of his opinions
A voice. Fornuy-men think so when they can't
get into office."
Mr. McConnell—Anti were you not in office you
would think so too. [Applause.] He had given
his energies to the support of Mr. Wright, though
he despised the platform on which he stood, and
greatly regretted his defeat. Ile wished to be un
derstood as the unrelenting foe of all proscription,
[applause,] whether it was proscription by Know
Nothings and Republicans out of the party on
account of aman'a creed or birth-place--or whether
it was proscription by ofdee-holding minions in the
party of men who were true to past pledges and
present honor. [Am lease.] Hewes opp sedto tie

Calhoun was a man of great natural ability ; he
possessed afine mind, and had he been blessed with
energy and industry in any degree proportioned to
his capacity, would undoubtedly have been a lead- -

all the relations of life. How he ever became in
volved in the Lecompton fraud—a fraud so repul
sive to all the past professions and actions of his
life—has always been a mystery to the thousands
in this State who loved, honored, and respected
him. For many years he was a recognised leader

Congress in tho Springfield district.—Chieago

A Baltimore correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune nays:
"There exists at present in our city an associa
tion, or organization, of Republicans. They bold
regular meetings, and do not hesitate to proclaim
themselves in favor of Seward, or any other man
nominated by the Republican party for the next
Presidency. If the contest in 1860 should be alonebetween Democracy and Republicanism, it would
not surprise me to find Baltimore giving a pretty
large vote in favor of the latter. Maryland, how
ever, must take the Southern side. She cannot,
dare not, and will not, countenance BLablr Repub
licanism. Those who now favor it politically in this
city, are seekers after office and the spoils. Pm
tided their cause prove triumphant. - The, wish

DOCTRINE.--The dail y Louisillle Demo
erat, in commenting upon the results of the late
elections in the Northern States, utters the fullow
ing wholesome truths:
-‘ The cause of trouble, we presume is not hid
front any one. It is just what we predicted long
ago ; and it is quite impossible that it could have
been otherwise. And it is palpable now that the
evilcorisequences are but partially developed. If
the South. insist that Congress shall maintain
slavery in a Territory, in spite of the people there,
the South must insist upon it by herself. the will
*et no aid in the free Suites. The agitation will
fortify the anti-slavery party of the North, and
give it all the free States. Then what will become
of this demand ? It is idle to rail at men. and
bluster about true Democracy. Democracy was
true in 1856, and it then had no such pestilent
issue as this one, got up by Southern demagogues.
Democracy then ignored such an issue. !f the
people of a Territory do not want slat-cry; let
them exclude it by not protecting it. was thelan
guage of Democracy then, and sr was fiat as
good Democracy as if a now. It is the newer
rentable departure from this position that hes done
the miselttef.
If the whole party would support the new doe
trine, why then it would succeed, we are told; but
who is such a blockhead as to suppose that the
whole party will support it! Who is green enough
to suppose that any party in a free state will try
to support it ? can promise all those slavery
protectionists, all who invoke Federal power to
protect slavery in the Territories, that they must
depend on themselves. They need expect no sap
port in the free States."

The Late Senator Broderick—Did he
leave a Will?
(Correspondence of the N. V. Tunes.]
Sts FRAC, tyro. September 23.
The rumor mentioned in my last, to the effect
that Mr. Broderick left a will, seems to hare been
erroneous. No will can be found, and Mr. lint id
D. Colton, one of Mr. Broderick's seconds in the
fatal duel, has petitioned the Probate Court for let
ters of administration upon his estate, as follows.
The Prtirgon of Da te d D. Colton, a resident of
said city and county. respectfully vhowerh
That David C. Broderick died in mid city and
county. on or about the Hai day of SeptembZ.r, A.
D. Its:J11; that said deceased at. or immediately
pro ions to the time of his death. was a resident of
said city and county, and that he has left an estate
within the jurisdiction of this court.
That due search and inquiry have been made to
ascertain if said deceased lett any will; but nor•
has been touml. and according . to the best knowl
edge and belief of your petitioner, said deceased
died intestate. Your petitioner further shows that
the estate of said deceased, so far as he has been
able to ascertain the same. is about the cum of
s‘l:hbOttO, and is incumbent by mortgages amount
ing, in toe aggregate, to about sss.oiitt. and eon
siSis entirely of real 1.3t810. in Sin Francisco: and
that the only heirs-at-law of said deceased within
this State are Edmund Welch and Lucy Brown,
whose consent and request in writing. together with
that of the creditors of the estate of raid deceased
to this application, and the appointment of your
petitioner as administrator of the estate of said
deceased, is annexed and made part of this yeti•
lion.
Wherefore your petitioner prays that a day of
curt may be appo_.nted for hearing this applica
tion, that due notice thereof be given br the clerk
by posting notices according to law. stx.l that upon
said hearing and the, proofs to Le eadulca; letters
of administration upon said estate Llay be issued
to y ,ur petitioner, de. Dtrin Courox.
Edmond Welch being duly sworn. deposes and
says on oath: That he is a resident of said city and
county; that ho was nonzainted with David C.
Broderick during his life-time; that aCtant is one
of the next of kin to, and, as he is informed and
verily believes, one of the heir_-at-law of said de
ceased, to wit : the cousin in the second degree to
the said deceased ; that affront is informed and be
lieves there are no other relatives to the said de
cedent in the said Ststte, except one Lucy Brown,
who is also one of the hens-et-taw ,nd the neat of
kin to the decedent; that affiant has heard
read the foregoing petition of David D Crime fcr
letters of administration. and well knows the con
tents thereof; that nffiant consents to said petition
and application, and requests that letters of ad
ministration upon said estate may be granted by
the court to the said David D. Colton in accord
once with the prayer of his petition
EDY CND WILLCII.
Lucy Brown makes an aSlavit tsigned by her
mark) similar to that of Edmund Welch, claiming
to be also a cousin in the second degree to the de
ceased. Then follows the conceit of creditors :
We, the undersigned. crolitors of the estate of
David C. Broderick, deceased. show to the court
that we, and each of us, hate read the fore-ping
petition and application of David D Colton for let
tees of administration, and know its contents; that
e, and each of us, hereby consent to said applica•
two, and request the court will appoint said Colton
administrator of said estate. in accordance with the
prayer of mid petition

Broderick for tweutyyears that the will then 'nada
is still extant in Wsohingtou. If 90, by that will
