Lipplnoott .t Co, will publish n now book, cnllcil 11 Footfalls on tho Boundory or Another World,'' from the pen of Robert Dale Owen, lato Amorioan Minister lo Noplos. In tbo words of the announcement, “ibis work is dovoted to an lnr|uiry whethor oconsiomd interferences from anothor world in this bo reality or dotusion. It treats of tho phenomena of sleep, dreams, sojnnambiifcrm. It oxamlnos tbo alleged evidences for prMWtilraonls, second-sight, house haunting?, and apparitions; referring to tho most approved modern works on hallucination, insanity, and the nervous systom. It inquires, whether! when wo sot down tbo narratives of all ages (in cluding our own) that touch on tho marvels re ferred to, ns more vulgar superstitions, we are over looking any notual phenomena.” This discussion upon a subject which basyot scarcely been investi gated, will lntorost a number of readers, for the believers in communications with and visitations from the other world nro far more numerous than might bo cnsually conjectured, and include some of the least imaginative and most mnttor-of-faotpenplo in tho world. Mr. Owen, wo understand, will enrich Uisbook with thopersonnl experioncosof many orei nont public characters in this country nnd abroad. A whole chaptor, which wo venture to predict will bo among tho most interesting, will ho dovoted to Presentiments nnd Second Sight, Charles Dickens’ A mcrinm Notes for General Circulation, which have long boon out of print will bo republished in a fow days, by Messrs Peter son, uniform willi tho octavo edition of Dickons’ works. There is a great deal of plain truth nnd racy humor in this work, though it goncraily con voys an unkind and unfuir impression of this country. It was not this book, bo it remombored, whioh aroused national indignation against Pickens, but his subsequent caricatures of Amorioan man ners, institutions, and persons in “Nicholas Niokloby.’’ IVo bavo received, from Messrs I’otcrson, ngonts for tho work in this city, tho sixth monthly part of Dickons’ All the Year Round, completing toI.

It is published under tbo supervision of tbo Rail way Companies, and wilt bo greatly improved, in January, by a new Railway Map, corrected to tlm cioso of tho year. Jamos Challcn A Son, of tills city, have handed us a “History of Independence Hall,” by J). W. Belislo, handsomely printed, n/.d containing nu merous illustrations upon tinted paper. AVo frank ly say that wo rots only ono fault in this book, and that can readily bo removed in future editions : crowded, ns it is, with interesting antiquarian, loonl, historical, nnd biographical details, it re quires a good Index to mnku it complete. Mr. Dclislo has ovidelitly spared no labor recollecting, sifting, condensing, and arranging an immense quantity of information rclntivo to Independence Halt, the cradto of American liberty, Its history and its various interesting associations. Tho bio graphical notices of (ho Signers of tho Declara tion of Independence would of themselves make this book wurlliv of commendation. But It contains much more. There are full descriptions of tho relics nnd portraits in tho Hall, and a histo ry of tho building itself. This volume Is „ B s „. coptnble addition to ovr local literature, and will certainly command a largo nnd constant sale. Me also have from the snrao publishers, “Baptism In Spirit and in Fire,” by Jamos Cballen, author of “ Christian Morals,” Ac. This is nsjalin and logi cal examination of tho important question, What is baptism in spirit and in (ire, repeatedly men tioned in tho New Testntuont? Mr. Cballen very ably and ooncisoiy places this donblo yot different baptism in their proper relations with tbo (tojxij, showing .that tho baptism tn -vlrit wao a promised IdessiDg ; tho baptism by ilro a threatened ovil; that ono baptism was as real and absolute na (he other; and that neither is (iguratlvo. Tho“firo,” ho contends, refers to tho catastrophe of final pun ishment, nml wo cannot realize, from Holy IVrit, a contrary belief. This is nu ablo littlo hook, well worthy of perusal.

Letter from “ Wanderer.” f Correspondence of The Press.] Fort Smith, Ark , Oot. 9, 1859. This bravo, enterprising little town, far out upon tho further edgo of the frontier settlement* of the United States, dosorves especial notice. Its Import ance Is not generally known in the East or North. Tho first impression ia that it Is a military posf nnd occupied sololy by troops and oamp-tollowers.

TWO CENTS. To Texas and Back—No# B*- [Co#re*pcnd«nc« of the prow.J WoonvtLLie Texas, Oot. 12,1862, My Pear Piters : The stages across this coun try, for some reason beat known to their proprie tors, but not very satisfactory to tho passengers, seem to select any time between just after supper and nine or ten o’clock at night, as the hour of starting. It was half past seven Monday evening when we left CheneyviJle in & new comfortable Concord-built stage, on our way to Huntsville. It was a bright moonlight night, the afr way not so piercingly cold as we had found it the night before and hurlag but few passengers, we could assume such as enabled ns to get s very tolerable sleop. About seven miles from CheneyjriUo w« en tered the pine woods, through which our roufo of travel would take us'for two or threo days, with but littlo signs of other timbor. At daybreak we found ourselves entering a swamp, and for some five miles enjoyed (?) a ride over about as rough a foad ay It has ever been our fortune to experience- Further sleep , was out of the question; tho swamp bottom was low, and the soil soft and yielding; the water in places lay in broad pools, through which the horses and stage floundered and jilted along— the mud and Water up to the axles; where the pools were too broad and deep, a corduroy road> mvlo of logs, sometimes roughly spilt,'and at others left in their original roundnera, afforded, a secure footing for the horses, and produced a va riety ip the motion of the vehicle and its contents more forcible than pleasing \ then a deop channel, In rainy weather filled with a running stream, but now dry, or with the water standing in polls and hollows, crossed the road, and a bridge, rudely put together with logs near akin to the materials for a iwrdaifjy iroad, and rising in the centre to art angle of nearly forty-flvo degrees, was to bo ascended with a slow, laborious poll, and descended upon the opposite side at a corresponding speed, which as the stage wheels left the last log of the bridge brought them down with a sudden and violent jolt, generally into a mofe orless deep mnd-hole. Two hours ride through this rough swamp, had, as you may well supposo, sharpened up our appetites for breakfast, and we were indulging in pleasing anti cipations of a hearty meal at “ Buck-heads.” Truly, the name gave promise Of good fare, and we looked out for some hospitable sign-post which should give notice from afar to the approaching traveller, that he might expect 11 entertainment for mrtn and beast.” But no friendly sign-poa* made its appearance ; and when the stage stopped in a clearing at the edge of the swamp, and “ Breakfast, gentlemen !” was annotmcod by the driver, and we looked out and beheld upon the other side of a worm fence which ran along the road-ride, a miserable log cabin, with a log stable nt a little distance, and a hog-pen in the rear—tho wholo enchanting group of buildings situated in tho midst of a straggly field of dead corn-stalks— nlas, for oor anticipations 1 they withered and shrunk away to nothingness. But we wero hun gry ; and resolutely climbing the fence, there be ing no easier way of access to the log cabin, which rejoices in tho name of” Back-bends,” we in turn moistened our faces in some not over-clear water, poured into a very dirty tin basin; and having done tho best we could with this apology for a wash, wo entered th a hotel! Wo aid that I could send you ft photograph of the appetising scene that met our view A singlo apartment not more than twelvo feet square comprised tho entiro establish ment, which was c-ullt of logs, except the mud chimney stack on nt one end outside. Upon a few coals in the fire-pUco could be faintly discerned through the obscuring ertioke, what more careful observation and subsequent ex perience led ua to believe to be oUt breakfast in process of preparation. In ono corner of tho room was the bedstead; the bed had been hastily made up. nnd from tho entire absence of anything white among the bed-clothes, and the appearance of the material which covered the breakfaStriabie invit ingly spread in the middle *f the room, we had fitfong grounds to infer that what had been & sheet At night was a table-cloth by day, at least when tho stage p&Sscngora came along. Doubtless the proprietor and permanont boarders, if any thero were, at *• Buck-heads,” consider table-cloths ft superfluity. But to tho inviting repast, which a dirty, filthy looking woman, who was probably white once, smoke dried, and with unkempt hair, and face and bunds long Innocent of the presence of winter, has been preparing a( the" fire, and is now setting forth u» tempting array upon the breakfast-table. Coffee—certainly, we will call the muddy, thick, dirty brown liquid, which is : poured into our cups from a vessel of the shape of a coffee-pot, probably tin, bat so black inside and out, that it would require a strong obemlcal appli cation to discover its real material—yes, we will call this liquid coffee; and if we drink it at all must do so without either sugar or milk. Do not imagine, however, from the oso of tho word milk, that we thereforo bad cream. By no means; such coffee is meant to bo drank 11 straight,” as they say out hero, i. v..without admixture. Of course, spoons wero dispensed with, as there was no occa sion for their uac. If anybody was particular nbout sweetenin’ ”in his coffee, he was freo to help himself to molasses, a moderate supply of which was provided in an old bottle, which had one a held castor oil, of which not ft little is used in these parts, not ouly for medicinal purposes, but to grease stngo and wagon wheels. For solids, we had a leg of shoal, well smoked in the cooking, and swimming In grease; corn-pone, a Kort of corn bread, mado of corn-meal, wetted with a little water, Reasoned with Balt, and baked in the ashes, and which would have been very nice, but in this instance we had seen too much of ” the young woman vot made it;” and hot-biscuits, of a dirty, light greon color, heavy as lend, and more sftleratus than flour in their composition. We nib bled and sipped as much as wo could, and with but littlo abatement in our hunger, paid .fifty cents each for our breakfasts, and departed, gtad to escape and breath© the pure, fresh air of the pine woods, which we knew was free from dirt. Our road took us all dsy through the pine-woods, our rolling ridges stretching nway for miles in gentle swells, covered with tall pino trees, many of them without a branch for an hundred feet from the ground; there was hut littlo underbrush, and tho turf was fre«h and green, with a few wild flower* hero and there. Through the hollows, be tween the ridges, many a rirulet and stream of pure, clear, running water, made its way in quiet flow over tbo white sandy soil of its bed. These woods abound in deer, squirrols, partridges, ami other gAtue; and occasionally flocks of wolves are to be met with ; but as they all keep clear of the frequented siogo-road, we saw nothing of them. Towards the middle of the day tho whole team suddenly balked in going up hill, and it was found that one of tho forward wheels would not revolve, owing to tho axlo having becoina heated. With some difficulty tho horses wero forced to draw the s‘nge to tho top of the accent, all hands turning out to assist in tho movement. A small pine-tree was cat down, and the forward axle raised so as to let tho wheel hang free from tho ground. We now found the services of the stage company’s black smith invaluable iu this emergency. When wo left Cheneyville, this blacksmith mounted the box with the driver, put a keg of old horsc-shocs iu tho boot, hia box of tools with ft bag of horse-shoe nails on top of tho coach, and was on a travelling profes sional tour, to shoo tbo horses and do up odd jobs along the line. The music of tho rattling tools and horse-shoo nails over our heads had agreeably varied tho monotony of tho stage-rido all night and all day. With the aid of the blacksmith and thq general advice and assistance of all hands, tho wheel vm started, taken off, and temporarily greased with a melted candle. Me thus managed to rvfteh the tog-cabin of acertain Mrs. Smith, übout ninilo farther on, who generously furnished us with all the castor oil eho had on band, which was copi ously applied to tho wheel?, nnd we were in good running order again. Mr. Smith f cabin wca '©mewhat of a curiosity iuthownyof a bunnn liabitat’on. A log-cabin, somewhat larger than “Buck heads” hotel, but h«i iog only one apartment, wav tbo family dwell ing of Mr. and Mr*. Smith and scrao two or three half-grown children, Perhaps, however, as the cabin was raised somo two feet from the ground, aud numerous pigs, who paid frequent visits to the family apartment above, seemed to make this base ment their chief habitation, Mrs. Smith should ho allowed credit for two apertmoats to her cabin. Mrs. Smith was tho rl ’pf man of tho concern, for no learnt that idio kept Mr. Smith in very good order, and managed things protty much as she choao. She had eight hundred dollars in half dol lars in that miserable cabin, whioh sho hadbronght with horfrom Tennessee, and was looking oat to ni&ko a speculation in land. The chinks in the cabin had never been filled in, and tho wind and rain must havo had very freo access in times of storm. Thero wero two beds in tho room, a chair or two, one or two iron kettles, a bureau, and a barrel filled with the meat of a freshly-killed ox. This was about all the furniture, and the whole of a not over-cleanly appearance; while Mrs. Smith herself—well, anybody who has scon tho miserable creatures who live about Baker street can have some idea of her personal cleanliness and attrac tions. None of the children could read, though they wero old enough to learn A few miles further on wo passed another log cabin and clearing, the proprietor of which flopped the stage, and, sending hia little boy up to the cabin for n pillow case, forwarded the same per driver to tbo next town to ho returned with a sup pl 7 of tobacco and coffeo.
