4 Day's Ride. a Life's Romance, by Charles
Lover, whom the English journals have lately
been killing and restoring to life, is what
Coleridge would have called one of the psycho
logical curiosities of literature. It is more
thoroughly slit generic than any work of fiction
we have- read for years, Bulwer's Zenon: ex
cel:46d, and differs as much from that as a fluid
differs from a solid. In this story are the ad
ventures, at home and
who,
of a certain
Algernon Sydney Potts, who, though only son
of a Dublin apothecary, has the loftiest aspi
rations, the highest opinion of himself, and
the most decided facility and faculty—once
that his imagination becomes excited—of
inventing and narrating the wildest ad
ventures, of which himself is the hero.
In this respect of drawing the long bow,
he equals Munchausen himself, with the
advantage of not committing himself, as that
veracious German constantly does, to utter
improbabilities. No, the charms of Mr. Potts'
romancing is that, granting his.premises to bo
true, all the incidents which he relates might
be true also. Day's Ride, originally con
tributed 'to' Dickens' periodical, appeared si
multaneously in Harper's Weekly, with' the
advantage which it did not possess in England,
of being set off with engravings from able and
characteristic designs by Mr. William New
man. This makes the 217th number of Har
pers' Library of Select Novels.
Place aux Dames ! Mrs. T. Sadller, late of
Montreal, Is the best Irish novelist on the
American continent. She knows Ireland
well, and has sounded the depths of the Irish
heart. We have two now works from her
pen : Elinor Preston, or Scenes at home and
abroad ; and Bessy Conway, or the Irish Girl
in America. They are published by Messrs.
D. and T. : Stu:lller & Co., NeW York, and may
be had of all Catholic puthishers in the United
States. We believe that these tales, which
are truthful and poetical, first appeared in
the New York Tablet, the beet conducted
Catholic journal in this country. Mrs. Sad
liar, we repeat, writes Irish stories very ad
mirably, and these two will not only sustain
but extend her literary reputation.
Of 4 History of American Manufactures
from 1808 to 1860, in two volumes, by T.
Leander Bishop, M. D., we have received the
first volume, a handsome octavo of 642 pages,
with' an Index. The title-page is declarative
to a fault. It is not there, but in the preface,
that the reader should find a general state
ment of the purpose and contents of 'the
work. Dr. Bishop has exercised labor in col
lecting, judgment in condensing, and skill in
putting into readable form an immense quan
tity of information. The records - of the me
chanical and productive arts in the Colonial
and United States come down, in this volume,
to the date of 1790, and Intl of instruction,•
oven of entertainment, these records are. It
is tbo best account ever written of the early'
manufactures of this country, digested from
an almost infinite number of sources, and is to
be :accepted as part .of our social history.
The record respecting the State and this city
is very full—as might have been expected,
for we have no superior in numerous descrip
tions of manufacture. The second volume
will give ,us the bistory,of mechanical and i
inventive industry n the United States, daring
the last seventy years. We have no doubt,
from the volume before us, that Dr. Bishop
will treat the subject with complete skill and
success. We would but hint the necessity,
when he comes to treat of living persons con
nected with American Manufactures, of avoid-'

warmest commendation.
The new edition of Cooper's Novels, with
Darley's tine illustrations on steel and wood,

matter," written in 1832, when Cooper's mind
was in its fullest activity and vigor, but never
very popular, either here or in England. The
Introduction, taking the reader from Paris
through Belgium, up the Rhine, into Bavaria,
is one of Cooper's very best pieces of pleasant
description. The story, which is a legend of
the Rhine, immediately obtained popularity in
Germany, and was translated (poorly enough,
we believe) into the language of that coun
try.

Putnam's National edition of Washington
Irving's works progresses iteadily. The latest
volumes axe The ildventures of Captain lime
villa and the first portion of .Mahomef and his
Successors, containing the life of the, great war
rior-Prophet. The character of dim works,
which are neatly' printed and illuitrated, Was
different as the subjects are. The Adventures
of Captain Bouneville,,in the Rocky Mountains
and Far West, actually occurred, and Mr. Ir
ving, who knew the man, mainly made „the
book in this country, from his journal and
conversation. On the contrary, the materials
for the Life of Mehemet were collected during
Mr. Irving'a first residence in Spain, and
thrown into book-form in 1881, for Hurray's
Family Library. Not having appeared in that
series, the author subsequently revised and
enlarged it, availing himself of "Mohammed
der Prophet, sein Leben and seine Lehre,"
written by Dr. Gustav Weel, librarian of the
University of 'Heidelberg, who has collected a
vast number of historic facts on the subject.
When the issue of Irving's Works is com
pleted, Mr. Putnam promises the Life of Ir
ving, by his nephew. Mr. S. Hazard, Jr., is
agent in this city.
Mercies Willson's Fifth Reader, part of
Harper's School and Family Series, is as good
as any of his 'former volumes, and hither
praise cannot be bestowed. What the Edge
worths, father and daughter, did in ct Frank "
and 4e Harry and Lucy," half a century ago,
to instruct the youthful mind by simple facts,
plainly told, and rising by degrees, into and
through the mosfrecondite theory and prac
tice of science, Mr. Willson has done, More
artistically and attractively,ln his unequalled
Headers, all of which, we are happy to knoir,
have been judiciously adopted to convey in
struction to the pupils in our Public. Schools.
The useful and the agreeable are -admirably
blended in these volumes. Apart from what
conveys knowledge, upon a variety of subjetts

•
'Natural Philosophy—the selection of reading
matter, made with taste, consists almost
wholly of specimens from the first modern
authors which other gleaners have not taken
the trouble to appropriate, and the numerous,
illustrations are gems of design and engraving.
We'have read every line in this volume, with
pleasure and advantage. To youth, its veins
is incalculable. . •
' The 192 d number of the North American
Review, which gives, that periodical the age
of nearly half a century, has just appeared.
We regret, that there Is so much respectable
mediocrity in its -pages., The article upon
Francis Bacon is ably written, clearly esti
mating the character, not one-sidedly exad
patint the conduct ,of the great author of the
Nov= -Organon, and frankly giving good
reasons 'for not arriving at the conclusions at
which Mr. Hepworth Dixon jumps, partial ad
.
vocate as he is, for considering Bacon as not
meanest as well as wisest and greatest of man
kind. The papers upon Burial, the-Venerable
Bee, Hugh Latimer, and-Michigan, are also
of average merit, and the writer - Or. AlR
bone 7) of the:late, - Jadge Bouvier and . his
valuable works has contrived to make a fami
liar subject as interesting as if it were new,
while honoring the ability, indnatry s and ripe
practical knowledge of our great Philadelphian
jurisconsult. With those exceptions, the con-
tents of the North American Retriiw are poor
enough. Periodicals should live, and not
merely vegetate like this Quarterly.
The July number of Temple Bar, Mr. Sale's
London magazine, completes Volume U. It
is the worst number yet published. in Mr.
Sala's own story, cc The Seven Sons of Mam
mon," wo Mind considerable pewer, bat this
month's two chapters, showing life and suffer

something unfinished In cc The Burg•keeper's

tory. The only readable papers are those
upon Chalk, on the Mountebank Family, the
new chapters of. ecil'or Bettor, for Worse,"
and Edmund Tate's rather Praed-ish poem
stAged,Forty."
. .
The CoTnhill Magazine, which we have
received from Mr. Callender, and also from
Mr. Upham, is infinitely bettor than its rival,
this: month. The Adventares of Philip, by
Thaekenly;ainble forward at a very easy pace,
but the master's hand 111 . evident all through.
The is a - Capital pape r, much in ThaCkeray's
hiiii*ef, but more amiable in purpose, called
"The . Wrong Side of the Stu ff. " The papers
on the Sthdy of History and the . Digestion of
Food, seem out of place in a magazine like
this—unless, from their obvious heaviness,
thliy were`put in as ballast. Doyle gives an
excellent engraving, with letter-press descrip
tion, of that solemn English humbug "A
yto
tfetitmief." - Theio-is a readable paper on
neatleh, , a desertation on Salmon, (which
probably Intended for the - ifagaziiie . of
IN:aural Htifory,) and "a racy poem, worthy of
the best days of Blackwood itselt, called cg A
.Cumberland Mare's Neat." The Roundabout
„
Paper for this month is poor enough. Here,
however, from "Philip," is a description, in
Thackeray's old manner, of a London news
paper proprietor :
The ehrewd Cassidy not only could not write
himself, but knew he could not—or, at least, pen
more than oil:dein paragraph, or a brief sentence
to the point, but said he would carry this paper to
his chief. " ilia Exoelleney" was the ntekname
.by which this chief was *ailed by hie familiars.

raoter,that he committed a systematic literary
murder once a week, a more worthy, good-na

A new mien( writers bad grown up since he en-'
listed as a printer'. boy—men of the world, with
the manners of ether gentlemen. Mugford never
professed the hut gentility. Ire knew that his
young men laughed at his peculiarities, and did
not care a fig for their soon. As the knife with
which he conveyed the victuals to hie mouth. went
down his throat at the plenteous banquets which
he gave, he Saw his young friends wince and won

lips never oared in the least about placing hie h.'s

great freedom, (to hear him bullying a printing

trayed no secrets, and the words which they ut
tered youmight trust. lie had belonged to two
or three parties, and had respected them all.
_When he went to the Under-Secretary's olSoe he

describing Virginia and New England, and now in
possession of Bancroft, the historian. Addressed
as it is ,‘ To the Bight Bonble. Sr. Francis-Baooni'

England," it is obviously incorrect to put it as ad

If this be right, then the new Clianoellor, Lord

Thoi Battle at Rich Mountain.
FULL PAILTIOULMIS•
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Cosesnerciett
gives the following account of the battle of Blob
Mountain:. The letter li dated Roaring Run, Ran
dolph county, (Va.) July 15, 1881:
The greatest caution was observed as jet pene•
trated into the enemy's country. Skirmishers were
instructed to deposit their knapsaokelli*agOns,
and squads of them were separately sent over ) the
hills in; advance, and in line 'with the column.
Snob precautionary mantas added just enough.
exoltement to - the march to prevent:the men from
sinking under the heat of one of the sultriest July
days I aver exoerienoed. .
. At about '4 o'clock the column wound out of a
ravine to the top of a Wrest), from which the.
enemy, in entrenohed position, -about two and .a
half miles distant, were distinctly visible. They
seemed to be.working with considerable energy,
and an officer with aglass said he saw the flag a
the Oenfederaoy within the fortifications The
column soon after came to a halt, and under a
driving storm pitched the camp in the valley, along
the west side of Roaring Run. The distance from
Buokhannon is about twenty I:Ql)6B—and it is about
ten from Beverly. It is also about nine miles hence
to Laurel Rill. - You are so much' better snpplled'
with maps than we aro that it is not necessary to
give you the geographical positions of the rent of
war
The camp was doubly .guarded at night, and
pickets were thrown out until they, almost met
those of the enemy who* were considerably in
advance of their positton. Our smuts, thereforo,'
did not succeed in making a ratisfaotory maenads '
sauce. 'Just before. we arrived at our oswp, the •
rebels scuttled the bridge aoross the run, and
Gen. McClellan ordered repairs to be. made this -
morning. * -
Meantime there were premonitory symptoms of •
a movement.. The, troops were required to dia.
charge and reload, after thoroughly cleating their.
muskets. The thundering noise prodneed by so
many heavy volleys fired in rapid encoeseion
terribly alarmed the eounti7 people One or two '
adventurous fellows Caine a distends of five miles
to me the battle, reportingAtat, men, wont.en. and
children were sadly. terrified.
'• r
But real battle was indioited by a " piers] .
der " requirieg-MoCook's Ninth Ohio, the Fourfi
and Third Ohio, Loomb' battery,. and five com
panies out of each regiment of Rosenorans' brigade. ,
to hold themselves in readiness to make an " armed
reconnoissance.". At three o'clock the men were
under arms, but partially concealed behind their
tents—silently waiting the signal to maroh. They
stood thus an hoar, when soddenly all hearts .were .
thrilled by the dull, heavy booming of field pieces.
The bUgle gaily sounded the march, and every
man under orders marched squarely to his place.
I think nothing is more impressive than the battle
features of men—while nothiogis more indescriba
ble. The eye dilates and flashes with unwonted
fire ; the light of " battle radiates in the °mint°.
_nano° ; the whitening lips ooncentrate in their-ex
pression all the determination of the mind wbioh
oomprehends the danger it must meet, but fears it
not: And there seems to be in the physical move•
manta of men under snob oi.cumetanoes a firmness
and compactness almost unnatural. 8o looked the
lade when they stepped to the battle-field yester-
day. They realised all the terror there was in an
ticipation and suspense, and I haven° doubt they
experienced all the oppngnant physical sensations
that men banally feel when marching to meet the
enemy face to face. It was a pity to disappoint
them of their hope and expectation; but 1 suspect
that to have gratified it would have violated some
law of military edema
. General McClellan hadno satisfactory knowledge
of the force or position of the enemy, and, rufthey
were oovered by dense -forests, it was necessary
to risk an engagement in order to reconnoitre them.
The real command of the expedition was given to
Colonel R. L MoCooa, and his regiment were the
only troops who got within range of the enemy's
guns. Colonel fdoClook threw out several companies
of skirmishers, under command of Major Willioh.
They advanced up the Beverly pike cautiously,.
being slowly followed by the-remainder of the re
giment; under Lieutenant Colonel Sanderahoff. The
road winds in sharp curves a mile or more in a
southeasterly direction, when you suddenly turn a
sharp spur, starting from the hillside, and the road
for about fifty feet strikes in towards the hill at a
sharp angle, and then runs cff at right angles some
two hundred yards. '
At the spur of the hill just desiiribed, and just
after you have turned it going eastward, you sud
denly discover the rebel entrenchments. Here
the German skirmishers discovered them, their
attention being particularly attracted by a ehower
of grape shot whistling -overhead, and a perfect
storm of failing.twigs which had been cut off by
the- vagrant snot. One - oharge, - however, took
street, killing' Gustav Strecker, •and severely,
though not dangerously, wounding George Baett
.ner. Major Willioh instantly threw his skirmish
ers out SO as to flank both sides of the road, and
thus advanced towards the entrenehmeit. Mean
time the enemy's picketer, in considerable force,
opened on the Germans, bat without effect. The
latter returned l the-fire with interest, and killed
three rebels. Aa_ ,
While this firing was going on, Colonel Lander
and Lieutenant Poe, United States Topographical
Rogineers, were making a TCCOIMOiII6BIIOO. The
former walked a bpudred yarda qp the road under
fire, to a line of the enemy's entrenchments.
thrown woes the road, and after a sharp but
swift examination ho took off _hie hat and bowed a
rake leave to the won' erin,g enemy. Judge Kiiy
alidit.was the coolest operation he ever witnessed.
w-it. VI-tea 'tare -Istaii....--4-....kao,....the_erteerkt had
have - allot down with impunity. _
Colonel Lander and others of General
lan's staff also speak admiringly of Judge Reyb
coolness under fire. Accompanied by a - scout
named Dixon—from Penneylvania—he proceeded
even in advanoe of the skirmishers;, and narrowly . .
escaped several bullets which Dix o n' is confident
were aimed at our friend's milltiry'oark. I am
decidedly of the opinion that the Judge displayed
more daring than discretion.
The coolness of Colonel McCook and Major
Willioh, and especially of their gallant regiment,
is highly oommended by all. The mysterious part
of the affair is that the enemy's position was not
.taken. McCook's men and Loomis' battery could
-have captured it, but there were no "orders" to
that effect. The skirmishers took two Secession
prisoners, one of whom was badly wounded. Both
have divulged all they know, and their statements
agree with Lander's reconnoimanoe. The facts asre
substantially as follows :
The rebel forces consist of a regiment of
Georgians, a regiment of B•bterri Virginians, and
about 500 " Snake Hunters," (Western Virgini
ans,) with U. S arms and gray uniforms, all under
command of Col. Pegrem, late of the U. S. A.
Many of the men were pressed into service, and
short rations have made them more discontented.
The prisoners look half-famished. The rebels be
gan- to entrench the hill about three weeks ago,
and their lines of entrenchment cross the Beverly
road. They have no rifle pita, but they have six
omen planted to rake the road as heretofore de.
scribed Col. Lander does not think them well
planted: I would enter more inte detail, but I ern
physically unable to de so.
At six' o'clock this morningg, a South Carolina
officer rode into General MoClellan's camp with
the following communication

and soldiers composing the division of the United

COItMON COUNCIL.
The usual number of Gomm:afloat ions relative to
water and gas pip ea, grading, paving, 10., !Fere
received and appropriately referred.
A resolution was presented irecting the Chief
Engineer of the Water Works _to empty the basin
of the Kensington water works and completely
cleanse it, and that hereafter the water of the said
works shall be pumped when the river is at high
tide.
Mr. Fazascen opposed the passage of the resolu
tion at this time, and was in favor of referring it to
the Committee on Water.
Several members urged immediate action in the
matter, as the water was very impure, and the
cause of a great deal of sioknees..
Mr. FREIMAN was in favor of Rising the com
mittee power to aot, but thought Councils were not
authorised to pass snob a peremptory resolution as
the above.
Dr. Sivas said; complaints have been entered to
Councils, gad several members of Councils In both
chambers have been !quested to use their hills
ewe to have the evil remedied as speedily as pos
sible. The citizens can be supplied with water •
from the Spring Garden station while the work of
cleansing is being executed. The idea of throwing
In lime has not bad the desired effect, as there is
an abundance of animal matter In the bottom of
the.basin.
Mr. MILLER thought the committee had no
power to act, as it was the business of the chief
engineer to hallo the diftioulty remedied. If the
evil oan be remedied by cleaning out the basin,
the chief engineer should have it done at once
Mr. Kean said the chief engineer stated that
the pier on the coal wharf had been extended out
to the pert warden's line, and, oonsequently, an
eddy hed been formed, in which filth had accumu
lated, 'and rendered the water pumped into the
reservoir unwholesome.
Mr. Casswata. said the water was not fit to
drink, he was confident, and trusted measures
would be resorted to at once to have the evil re-
medied.
Mr. •MoOmaar said one of the great onuses of
the evil was the absence of firea this season, and
the fact that the plugs were ao seldom opened.
Mr. Porrin thought the resolution had the ap
pearance of being a slur, both on the committee
and the Chief Engineer. A gentleman of his an
quaintanoe in that district had informed him that
the water bad very much improved during the last
two days. Die thought the matter should be re
ferred to the committee, when the matter could
be properly investigated, as we did not know but
that the water might be deoomposed by the aotinn
of the sun upon it—the basins not holding a suffi
dent sittantity to resist it.
Dr. Bites repeated a statement that there is one
' foot of earthy or animal matter at the bottom of
the basin at the present time. and the health of
the district was seriously affected by it. Red
dents along the shore of the Delaware do not use
their hydrants in oonsequenoe, but oarry their
water from the river.
The resolution was finally adopted.
A communioation was received from the truitaes
of Jones' Hotel, stating that said hotel was placed
at the disposal of the city for the use of the troops,
and asking for an appropriation to make repairs
to the building rendered necessary by their use of
it: Referred to the Committee on Defence
A resolution was offered by. Mr. ARMSTRONG di
recting the appointment of a committee to inquire
Into the subject of reducing the salaries of oilmen
under the pay of the city government, and to re•
port the same to Councils
. 1 AR amendment was offered by Mr. Isnion, ad
ding the words " sad what officer can be dispensed
with without deteriment -to the city," was agreed
to, and Messrs. Armstrong, Lynd, and Bouthworth
were appointed the oommtttee.
The ordinance directing the expenditure of the
loan for the erection of the Cheetnut•street bridge
was °ailed up and passed.
Mr. CATTAIL proposed an ordinance awarding
the contract for the masonry and superstructure of
the bridge at the price agreed upon at a farmer
meeting.
MT- I.IARPRR moved to amend that Messrs.
Whiting and Wilcox, to whom the iron work is
proposed to be given, should do the work in the
.city of Philadelphia. Messrs. Wilcox and Whttirg
'have their establishment at Kaighn's Poitt, to
New Jersey.
Mr. Quinn replied that a resolution bad already
bean adopted requiring the work to be done in
-Philadelphia. Wilcox and Whiting are the beet
, and lowest bidders, and therefore entitled to the

tweentlie• Georgians, dud Virginians.. The Geor
glans, it appears,,made the rural Virginians do all
the tough' work, while they superintended it.
Old Virginia couldn't stand this, notwithstanding
her zeal in the oause,of Seceab , and the result was
a fight. Some fifty newly made graves were found
on the top of the hill. For some days previous to
the rout there was no friendly, communioation
between the Georgians and Virginians .
Some of the captured Georgians have been heard
to say that. hey didn't come into Virginia to dig
holes, and that the Virginia Hoosiers ought to do
the work ; They say they are gentlemen, and not
at all accustomed to excavate. Beeidea, they say
they oame to help Virginia out of a serape, and it
is inhospitable, to say. the least of it, to ask them
to dig her ditches.
We learn that a portion of the force under Gen.
Hill, who went down towards the Chest river pass
to out otr the retreat of the rebels ender Garnett,
came upon a number of retreating South Caro-
Guiana on Monday, near West Union, rwenty.five
of whom were captured, and are now held pri
soners. 'The South Carolinians say the were re•
treating towards Moorefield, Hardy county, in the
vicinity of which Wimp, it was understood, they
were to be reinforced. Garnett's men, on Mon
day, while still on their retreat, were almost fa
mished, and some of them rushed into the houses
of farmers,' near West Union, and literally de
voured everything they could lay their hands on.
The remains of (ien. Robert Garnett, of the Se
cession forces at Laurel fill, who was killed at
the Cheat river battle, on Sunday morning, were
brought up - to the city yesterday evening, baying
been placed in a metallic coffin sent out from this
oily to Grafton.. All of the General's private ef
fects have been carefully preserved, and every
thing in which the friends of the deocaced maid
have the slightest interest was forwarded with the
remains, which were sent last night, in charge of
the Adards' - express, via Pittsburg, and Baltimore,
to Washington; whence they will be conveyed,
under, a Bag of truce, to his former home in Vir•
ginia.
The depot was literally packed with people upon
the arrival of the train, all being anxious to get a
peep at the coffin.
Toe ball which caused the death of Gen. Garnett
was from a Minis musket; and the wound produced
le said to be a most terrible one, tearing the body
like a common ball The.ball entered the middle
of the back, and 'sauna, oat just above the breast,
tearing through two coats, a vest, and under
clothing.
den.. Garnett was a small, sparely-built Man,
with black eyes, hair, and heavy black beard. Ile
was apparently under forty years of age.

Passenger Railways.
For The Prese.l
It is . not often our Quaker City•gentlemen
need to be reminded of little acts of politeness
due the softer sex, oven in the City Railway
cars, where such attentions. too' often pass un
noticed, and, are ,accepted as a matter of
course. lam not surprised that gentlemen
are almost . teriipted to 'decide they will not,
again give their seat to a female who takes it
without even -a: Thank you, sir "or who,
when a.car is hardly. more than '
half frill, will
occupy fully,two seats, and allow gentlemen
to rise for a lady in preference to Incommoding
herself In the least degree. I have seen this,
and wondered that such could claim the name
of lady.
Notwithstanding these discouragemonts, I
do trust our gentlemen generally are not about
to follow the example of a halt:dozen young
mon who wore in a Coates-street car, a few
days since, when a lady of my acquaintance
entered ; seeing no vacant seat, (and she is
not one who would peer about, as if expecting
one to be given her,) she stood inside the door
from Eighth street to Sixteenth. The polite,
attentive conductor took no notice of It, nor
did a single man in the car, although, had
they taken the trouble to sit a little closer,
there would have boon room for all ; and lam
persuaded those young men would have felt
quite as comfortable after this little act of
kindness as they did when pretending to be
too busy readingtheir newspapers to know of
anything around them. I know some called
ladies receive as rights what are only p r i v i.
/err, forfeiting thereby claims to that atten
tion they would otherwise deserve. Let us
not forget the true lady, who modestly accepts
a favor, and who Idels that 4( true politeness is
real kindness, kindly expressed." N. K. E.
