To have i strong faille in the vitality of genius, is only natural to those who read much and love to• commune with those benefactors of mankind, the great and good writers, who, as Byron said, will be 4( remembered in their land's language." We utterly discredit the fiction that Genius ever does, 'ever can, wear Reel(' out. On the contrary, its motto might be tc Excelsior," for it perpetually strives to produce higher perfection than it has yet achieved. Surely the noblest of Sbakapeare's productions were his latest, when be brought matured wisdom, and rich fancy, and creative invention, and chastened imagination, and disciplined thought to the pleasant task of writing something more affrpasiiing in his ex cellence than he•had ever written before. So it has been with all the sons of mind—if they be true to their high mission ; they invariably aim at loftier purposes than they ever con templated before. Leek at Scott, arrived at middle age when Byron commenced his won derful career—feeling that a great rival had arisen to depose him from his sovereign sway as Lord of Song, and wisely turning fiom popular poetry to that prose which, in the Waverley Novels, has entranced the world from that time to the present. Think of But " whose latest works are undeniably his beat—for surely «The Caxtons," and "My Novel," and it What will he do with it," are infinitely superior ..to Pelham," and lc De vereux," and ‘ The _Disowned." Say what we may, Genius is ever fresh, ever creative ; its infinite variety is ever diatingnisbable. Charles Dickens, commencing six-and-twen ty yesra ago with a series' of sketches in a London paper, (the Morning Chroniele,) to which be appended the quaint signature of "Boa," little fancied at the time, we dare say, that he was to becorde one of the most yob'. minons writers ,of English fictien—that his fame was to • spread,' honored and loved, wherever the Engllsit tongee. is spoken, and to be known, through the medium of transla tion, in many foreign lands. Here he is, not yet fifty years old, with as many works from his pen as would have formed quite a respect able library in the time when Dryden wrote for bread. There have been differences of opinion respecting the comparative merits of his works, but no man can honestly say that there is any perceptible falling off in his inci dents, sketches of character, or views of so ciety. "Hard Times," albeit written too ob viously with a purpose, is as good as any- of his former productions, and surely "The yale of Two Cities," is as dramatic and as true as any modern tale ? Let no one say a Charles Dickens. is falling off." On the contrary, judging by his latest performance, he writes better now than he did twenty years ago. In his weekly periodical, 411 Ike. Year Round, Charles Dickens, for several months, has been publishing a story, . called (4 Great Expectations," which' has regularly been re published in Elarper's Weekly, with the agree able addition of original illustrations by John McLellan, of New York—an artist who, in our opinion, more entirely throws himself into the mind and purpose •of the author than either H. K. Brown (" Phiz"), or Richard Doyle, or Clarkson Stanfield, or any other person who has undertaken to illustrate Dick ens. Messrs. Harper paid the large sum of $6,000, .we understand, for proof-sheets of this story of English life, which enabled them to publish it in this country even in advance of its appearance in . London. The recogulied American publishers of Dickens are Peterson Brothers, of Philadelphia, who have brought out twenty-nine different editions of cg ‘ Boz;". and, by a pecuniary arrangement with Messrs. Harper, we find Meatus. Peterson bringing out-an octavo .edition of "Great Expecta tions," giving for fifty cents what English as the story will appear, in •LeicaorrOn the usual three volumes. In a fewdaya, we understind, Messrs. Peterson will publish a 12mo edition, with McLenan's illustrations on tinted paper. ig Great Expectations " is essentially a story of middle and lower life in England. The leading character (for, as usual, the hero; like David Copperfield, is much of a nobody, though he tells the story,) is one Joe Gar. gory, a country blacksmith, and the highest personage, admirably stereographed, is one Mr. Jaggers, whose rank in life is only that of an Old Bailey or thieves' attorney.. Largely in this story figure a couple of escaped con victs. In short, including a solemn humbug named Mr. Primblecheok, nearly all the dra matis persona - are very low people; • But it needs no Solornon to tell us that human loves and hates, human hopes and fears, human suf. feting and happiness; are decidedly deve loped in bumble as in high life--only a little more naturally. Talk or Charles Dickens falling off! Why, there are more than half a'dozen original cha racters in Great Expectations." Joe Gar gery and his wife, Miss Havisham and Estella, Pumblecbook and Wopsle,Jaggers, and Wem mick, to say nothing of Previa and dear, good Biddy,—whereas, in "The Pickwick Papers" there really are only three decided originals,— namely, Sam Weller, his father, and the Fat Boy. In the conduct of the story, too, we notice that Dickens has adroitly- contrived to bold the reader-in hand, expecting certain results as inevitable, whereas, strangely but natu rally, the plot eventuates in a far different mariner. Until the chapter which closes the second stage of Pip's Expectations, we were deluded into the belief that his good fortune came from quite a different source than that which supplied it. Dickens never showed more artiatical skill than in the management of this secret. It took us in; and we have read every novel of any note • published since we entered into our innOcent teens,—some years ago. On the whole, then, Dickens comes out "twenty thousand strong, like the Irish Re bellion," in this new story; and, in these dis astrous times, it really is a comfort to have such a great work as .this to distract the mind from the graver thoughts which involuntarily will arise. Few other writers could do half as much for us just now. Blackwood's Magazine for July. With undeviating punctuality, Mr. W. B. Zieber, agent in this city for the republished British periodicals--the four leading Quer- . terlies and Blackwood supplies them to us, soon as printed, and, wo venture to say, will be only too happy to extend this privilege to all who choose to subscribe $lO a year for tho same, being about one-fourth of the Eng lish publishers' price. We have just received the July number of Biarkwc;od, and only wish that its contents were more readable. Out of tea articles, five are dull and heavy. These are cg The Orleans Manifesto," tt The Barba risms of Civilization," it The Demise of the Indian army," 44 The Epic, of the Budget," and (g The Disruption of the Union "—the last showing a verdant ignorance of Ameri can politica. There is also a weak poem, dc The Farewell of the Seal," and a continua tion of Professor A.ytoun's novel of"" Nor man Sinclair," which .has the doubt&i , merit of being one of the dullest serial's ev ery pat into type. This reduces the good iutiolee to three—namely,- a , review ot "Hook's Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury; a detailed narrative of Spencer Compton's case, proper ly desciibed as a judicial puzzle, which has been very unfairly related in the fifth iolume of Macaulay's History ot England, and ig The Book•hnntor Again," which is good enough to redeem the character of any periodical. In the review of Dr. Hoek's book, which will make a reliable History of the English Church, if ever he live to complete 'it, the first volume disposing of the Anglo-Saxon period, we . find , the judicious' remarks upon the popular error, of , claimbig the English race as Anglo-Simon : • (4 The Welsh writers—alivava strong in genealo gies, temporal and splritnal--makss •out amongst i - gIif.AADpLPHI4, SA,TURDAY, 1861. them that a majority of the Apoglee were - In one way'or another oeneerned in the evangelisation of their island. One almost wonders that they do not insist upon some at least of that body. having been Welshmen by birth or descent.

If there is one thing -upon which he honestly prides himself, it is !that he is an Anglo-Saxon. Be evidently thinks much more of it than of being Dean of Chichester. ' That indomitable spirit of independence 'whiob, inherited from our Sexen ancestors,. is the glory and the characteristic of• the Roglieh Such are the concluding words.of this volume, and their spirit may beers:led throughout.

The old nation:ll dealt - . glorification (always 'pretty strong in. the little ' island) need to content itself with the term Britons, which has grown quite old•faehlotied and obsolete. It is the Anglo-Saxons who are to go every where, and do everything, in these days. There 10 no particular obj cation to a man calling himself an Anglo Saxon, it he is so disposed,; but the precise gritted of this form of family pride israther don't to understand 'At' the hist, 'Anglo-Saxon blood is but a aucceisful magi The modern' llnglishmat woo initiate upon the title is quite as likely to be a combination of Celt and Dane. : The Dean of Chichester's surname, no 'doubt, is of any thing but Celtie derivation; ' brit 'if we had his family tree drawn out from Woden downwards, we kayo little doubt but that his . excellent moral and intellectual qualities wculd be found to be the result of a continued ' mantel seleetiono from the various ' national stooks which have peopled the' island in sucoession. from' Albion the eee.glint arid Brut the Trojan down to the latest Flemieh immi gration.• • Bow.ean any man tell, 'in ;these daye, wbat proportion of Saxon blood •he has in his veins ?

So far as the great Anglo-Saxon race,' as lilt now the fashion to call it, has gone forth to rule or oivilige the world, east or west, the Celt has gone with it, and has not been the last in the adventure, whether it were peace or war." As it is too much the . habit, in this country, to brag of our population being mainly Anglo- Saxon, the above remarks are not out of place. The American population le chiefly , Anglo- Celtic, and it is time to speak of it as such. For The Press.] MR.

Surely this should notlbe so; and, we believe ' if all the 'regiments in our army bad the Gospel faith fully, and regularly preached:to them it would not be ECG. Therefore, as every colonel has a vast re sponsibility resting upon him, in'view of this mat, tor, it is his solemn duty to avail himself of the pro visions-of the order of the War Department: and procures, irpossible, a properly•onalifled and faith ful ohiplain for his regiment.

Wade Hampton's regiment, and by a corps called the South Carolina Tigervr. 'Gen Hampton's regiinent was decoyed by a Confederate flag, which; the Federals bad planted in acme entrenohmenta which they had made under a flag of truce, which Beanregard had reoogniaed, for the purpose of let ting them bury the dead. When .the South Clain. Snians fonnd they had been entrapped, they rushed on the entrenchments ' and carried them at the bayonet's point, although they were bully out up The total loss of the tionfederates is estimated in killed, wounded, and missing, at 2,000 at the,olit: side. An official return was to be made yesterday, to enable Beauregard to make a detailed report to headquarters It was estimated that the Federal loss killed alone was 6,000. The Federal dead aware' tieing buried, and every attention was shown to , the wounded that was paid to their own men. They bad 1.100 prisoner. one of whom was Mr. Ely, of Nei. York.

A oonsiderable portion of Gen. Johnston'. com mand was in the field, under Gen. Johnston him. self. - The accounts of the battle as_ were received in the Northern papers, were pronounced utterly falie There was very little fighting behtnd en: trenohments. Gen. McDowell attempted to ;out flank Beauregard's position, and Beautegard marched out to meet him. There was a great; deal of open fighting, and the Southern troops °barged with the bayonet very frequently.

If there be any one term in military , soletice which is more popular jolt now than all others, it is that one which is our present Ballot In deed, it seems to have sprung suddenly into cos mopolitan use, as one netting the charms of novelty with the rornanee of daring achievements. When Marshal Bugeau led the campaign-of Al ,gters, be found the French infantry too heavy for the required service. Their uniform was.a blue frock coat and dark red pent., both of thick cloth; wtih equipments of corresponding weight. Triklog a lesion from the English, as shown in the Sem service, Bugeau sought levies. among the friendly tribes, and formed theta into regular corps. These men were peonliarly adapted to the ex posure : and exigencies of a burning climate. They were bare .01 leg and arm; or if the for. mer were. oovered at. ail, It was with the loose flowing trowsers of the Orient. A turban to protect the head, and .a tight jacket, with moo °wins' were the only Entilataill of drew, and ' being thus unencumbered, their speed and agility distanced the regular .troops on ell ocoaslons of rivalry. So successful was the experiment, that it became identified with the french &arrive, and the despatehes from the army of Algiers familiarized, the nation to the new and fanciful name. As the originel levy had been made among a confederacy of the Kabyles, called Zoaaoua.la generic term was: thin, derived. It is erronesuely pronounced Zola saves, Zoueeve, Zouseve, or nove, but the proper' sound fs Zwave or Zwaave. The Zourive is to the regulars of the line 'what Mercury was to the god, "Plow lighted on some heaven-hissing hill" But to the agility of the acrobat is added theftu7 of the gorilla, and the endurance of the, wolf. The abonginel Zoete* knew nothing of the weak ness of humanity. Be needeth no bed but the send, and like the camel, was at home in the de sert, while to extremes of cold he seemed equally iodifferent. For this reason they were the moat effielent troops, in the terrible campaign of thi Crimea. Bat previous to this, the War Depart went had adopted this system, and French re orttitirwere drilled and equipped in the Arabesque aryl* ' .and - ahlarral, the name ortheir swarthy allies.'
