PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 5. 1861. Ci \t J) USB, The public will rejoice with us that a aew romance of every-day life in England, from the apparently tireless pen and exhaustless mind of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton has been commenced. It is entitled “A Strange Story,” which is to succeed Dickens’s “ Great Expec tations” in All the Hear Round, and is to appear simultaneously, as that did, in Harper’s Weekly, from the manuscript and early proof-sheets purchased by Messrs. Harper. It is a pros perous 'Weekly that can aiiord to pay thou sands of dollars for permission to publish a popular story in advance of the regular issue in England. This week’s number of Harper’s Weekly contains the opening chapters oi “ A Strange Story.” The hero, a man of good lamily, who has sold his estate near Windermere io pay his father’s debts, which he was not legal ly required to do, is of the blood of the once powerful border-clan ol the Fenwicks, and is described as a physician in the great English commercial town of L-—. We presume that Liverpool is the locality indicated. Hu had obtained some reputation by a professional work, which is “ still among the received au thorities on the subject of which it treats;” he had travelled through the principal cities of Europe, taking letters of introduction to eminent medical men; and gathering from many theories and modes of treatment, hints to enlarge the foundations of unprejudiced and comprehensive practice ; in a small town in the Tyrol, he had saved the life of an Eng lish traveller, seised with acute inflammation ot the lungs, and in a state ot imminent danger, and eventually is induced by this gentleman, Dr. Jules Faber, to settle down as his partner in L , and succeeding to his whole practice jn two years. This Is done, and this young and fortunate physician becomes a leader of the profession in L , his only rival of any importance being Dr. Lloyd, a much older man. The story, which is autobiographical, thus describes him: My chief rival was a Dr. Lloyd, a benevolent, fervid man, not without genius—if genins be pre sent where judgment is absent; not without sci ence, if that may be soienoe which faiis in proei sion One of those clever desultory men who, in adopting a profes ion, do not give np to it the whole foree and heat of their minds Men of that kind habitually acoept a meohanieal routine, be cause in the exerei9a of their ostensible calling their imaginative faculties are drawn away to pursuits more alluring. Therefore, in their pro per vooation they are seldom bold or inventive out of it they are sometimes both to excess. And when they do take up a novelty in their own pro fession they cherish it with an obstinate tenacity, and an extravagant passion, unknown to those quiet philosophers who take np novelties every day, examine them with the sobriety of praoliced eyes, to lay down altogether, modify in part, or aocept In whole, according as inductive experi ment suppor la or destroys conjecture. Dr. Lloyd had been esteemed a learned natu ralist long be fore be was admitted to be a tolera ble physioian- Amidst the privations of his youth he had contrived to form, and with eueh succeed ing year he had perseveringly increased, a zoolo gioal collection of ereatnres, not alive, bat, happily for the beholder, stuffed or embalmed. From what I have Baid It will be truly inferred that Dr. Lloyd’s earlier oareer as a physioian had not been brilliant; but of late years be had gradually rather aged than worked bimeelf into that profes sional authority and station which time oonfers on a thoroughly respootablo man, whom no one-is disposed to envy and all are disposed to like. The hero, who certainly affects unwonted candor, gives a far less flattering character of himself. We shall copy it in full because it discloses an idiosyncrasy more subtle while it is truly original, than Bulwer has yet presented. It runs ' ' REMEDY LANGUOR. NERVOUSNESS. UCK HEADACHE. HECTIC FLUSH, ko. MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1881 Harper’s New Publications. But to m; theories of medicine his diagnosis was shallow, and his prescriptions obsolete, When we were summoned to a joint oonsnltation snr views as to the proper course of treatment seldom agreed. Donbtless he thought I ought to have deferred to his seniority in years, but I held the doetrine which youth deems a truth and age a paradox, namely, that in soiehee the young men are the pruotio&l elders, inasmuch as thoy are sohooled in the latest experiences soienoe has gathered ap, while their seniors are cramped by the degtnas they were schooled to believe when the world was some do, cades the younger. Meanwhile my repntation continued rapidly to advance; it became more than local; my advice was sought even by patients from the metropolis. That ambitisn which, oonceivod in early youth, had deoidod my career and sweetened all its labors— the ambition to lake rank and leave a name as one of the great pathologists to whom humanity ao cords a grateful, if calm, renown—saw before it a level field and a oertain goal. I know not whether a suooess far beyond that usually attained at the age I hod reached (.erred to inorease, bat it soomed to myself to jastify the main oharaetaristios of my moral organization— intellectual pride. Though mild and gentle to the sufferers under ray oare, as a necessary element of professional daty, I was intolerant of contradiction from those who belonged to my calling, or even from those who, in general opinion, opposod my favorite theo rioi. I had espoused a school of medical philosophy severely rigid in Its induotivo logio Myoreed was that of stern materialism. I had a oontempt for the understanding of mon who aooepted with credulity' what they could not explain by reason My favorite phrase was “common sense.” At the same time I had no prrjndiee against bold diroo very, and discovery necessitates oonjeotnre; but I dismissed as idle all conjecture that oould not be bronght to a practical test As in medioine I had been the pnpil of Btoub sain, so in metaphysios I was the disciple of Con dillac I believed with that philosopher, that 11 all our knowledge we owe to Nature; that in the beginning we oan only instrnot onrselves through her lessons, and that the whole art of reasoning consists in continuing as she has com pelled us to commenoe.” Keeping natural phi losophy apart from the doetrines of revelation, I never assailed the last, but I contended that by the first no acourato reasoner oould arrive at the existenee of the soul as a third pricoiplo of bsing squally distinct from mind and body. That by a miracle man might live again, was a question of faith Bnd not of understanding. I left faith to religion, and banished it from philosophy How define with a precision to satisfy the logio of philosophy what was to live again? The body ? We know that the body rests in its grave till by the prooess of decomposition its elemental parts enter into other forms of matter. The mind ? Bat the mind was as clearly the result of the bodily organization as the musia of the harpsichord is the result of the instrumental mechanism. The mind shared the decrepitude of the body in extreme old age, and in the full vigor of youth a sudden injury to tho brain might forever destroy the intellect of a Plato or a Bbak spesre But the third prinoiple—the soul—the something lodged within the body, which yet was to survive it ? Where was that soul hid ont of the ken of the anatomist ? When philosophers attempt ed to defice it, were they sot oompeUed to oonfound its nature and Us actions with those of the mind ? Could they reduce it to the mero moral sense, va rying according to education, oiroumstanoes. and physioal constitution ? Bat even the moral sense, in the most viitaous of men, may be swept away by a fever. Snob, »t the time I now speak of, woro the views I held. Views certainly not original nor pleasing; but I cherished them with as fond a te nacity as if they had been oonaolatory truths of whioh I was the first disooverer. I was Intolerant to those who maintained opposite doctrines—de spised them as irrational, or disliked them as in sincere Certainly if I had fulfilled the oareer which my ambition predicted—bsoome the founder of a new sohool in pathology, and summed up my theories in academical leatnres—l should have added another authority, however feeble, to the sects which oiroumsoribe the interests of man to the life that has its olose in his gravo. Possibly that whioh I have oalled my intel lectual pride was more nournished than I should have been willing to grant by that setf-ielianoo which an unusual degree of physioal power Is apt to bestow. - Nature had blessed me with the thews of an athlete. Amoßg the hardy youths of the Northern Athens, I had heen pre-eminent ly distinguished for feats of nativity and strength My mental labors, and the anxiety which is in separable from the conscientious responsibilities of the medloal profession, kept my health below the par of keen enjoyment, but had in no way diminished my rare musonlar foroe. I walked through the orowd with the firm step and lolty orest of the mailed knight of old, who felt him seif, in his casement of iron, a match against numbers. Thus the sense of a robust individu ality, strong alike in disciplined reason and ani mal vigor—habituated to aid others, needing no aid for itself—contributed to render me imperi ous in will and arrogant in opinion. Nor were such defects injurious to me in my profession; on the contrary, aided as they were by a calm manner, and a presence not without that kind of dignity whioh is the livery of self esteem, they served to impose respect and to inspire trust. In the town of L , we learn, “there were two distinct social circles: that oi the wealthy merchants and traders, and that of a few pri vileged families inhabiting a part of the town aloof lrom the marts of commerce, and called the Abbey Hill.” These superb Areopagites exercised over the wives and daughters of the inferior citizens to whom all oi L , except the Abbey Hill, owed i.B prosperity, the same kind of mysterious influence which the fine ladies of Mayfair and Belgravia are reported to hold over the female denizens of Blooms bufy and Marylobone.” Dr. Lloyd succeeds, the death of Dr. Faber, in befog adopted and patronized as the pet physician of Abbey Hill, while Dr. Fenwick becomes the favorite, with far more lucrative practice, of Low Town —as the loss aristocratic part of L is called. Some years later, Dr. Lloyd had the imprudence to proclaim himself not only an enthusiastic advocate of mesmerism, as a curative process, but an ardent believer of the reality of somnambular clairvoyance as an in vaiuablo gift of certain privileged organiza tions. His rival wrote him down, and the Hill rejected him, because of bisberesy against the old fashioned routine. Practice and repute speedily vanish, and mortification or anger bronght on a stroke of paralysis. A second attack brings him to death’s door, and Lloyd eagerly sends for the rival by whom he had suffored so severely. The interview is pow erfully described: “The children oi the stricken widower were grouped round his bed, the eldest apparently about fifteen, the youngest four; one little girl—the only female child—wart&linging to her father’s neck, her face pressed to his bosom, and in that room her sobs alone woro loud.” The children pass away, sorrowfully, but silently, save the little girl, who, borne off in the nurse’s arms, continued to sob as it her heart were break ing. The dying man, grasping his rival’s arm, reproaches him with having stricken down his life at the moment when it was most needed by bis children, and most serviceable to mankind, and his dying words are thus given ; His Ups drew nearer still to my ear. “ Vaiu pretender, do not boast that you brought a genius for epigram to the seivioe of soieno*. Boienae is lenient to all who offer experiment as the test of oonjestnre. Yon are of the stuff of whieh inquisitors are made. You ory that truth is profaned when yonr dogmas are questioned. In your shallow presumption you have meted the do minions of Nature, and where your eye halts its vision, you say, l Thera, Nature must olose in the bigotry which adds crime to presumption, yon would stone the disooverer who, in annexing new realms to her chart, unsettles your arbitrary land marks Verily, retribution shall await you In those spaces whioh yonr sight has disdained to explore, yon shall yourself be a lost and bowil dered stragglef. Hist! I see them already ! The gibbering phantoms are gathering round you 1” The man’s voiee Stopped abruptly; his eye fixed in a glazing stare; his hand relaxed its hold; he fell back on his pillow. I stole from the room ; on the landing plsee I met the nurse and the old wo man servant. Happily the ohildren were net there But I heard the wall of the female ohild from some room not far distant I whispered hurriedly to the nurse, “ All Is over!” —pained again under the jaws of the vast anaoonda—and on through the blind lane between the dead walls—on through the ghastly streets, under the ghastly moon—went back to my solitary homo. This, it must be confessed, is powerful wri ting,—perhaps a little too melo-dramatio. The story, no doubt, will Bhow how the prediction is worked out. This “ Strange Story” will bo illustrated by John McLenau, whose designs have so happily bronght tangibly before the feading public the persons who figure in •« The ■Woman in White” and “ Great Expectations.*’ And here we may mention that Messrs. Peter son have just brought out a handsome Bvo edition of “ Great Expectations,” with nearly forty ot McLenan’s illustrations. It is neatly boarded, and will range with their octavo series of the works of “ Boz.” Org of the attractions of the Cirnhill Maga zine, dnnng its first year, was a novel, by An thony Trollope, called “Framley Parsonage.” It relates the adventures and misadventures of a young clergyman, the Rev. Mark Ro berts, who having the ambition to get into the society of Dukeß and Members ot Parliament, and high Government officials, at the same time gets into writing hiß name on “bills” merely’ to accommodate a friend, and, of course) has to pay them at the end, after no end of vexation and trouble. There is also a love story, in which his pretty sister Lucy figures rather extensively, and finally wins her lover, wjio is a Peer. A great many mi nor characters figure on the canvas hero, of which Mins ’Donatablo, a millionaire, is the best, beeausS""eminently natural and sensible. Messrs. Harper have published “Framley Parsonage” in one volume—and a good dollar's worth it is—with 630 closely-printed pages and several engraviugs, after Millais, we be lieve. Anthony Trollope is the son of the very clever but somewhat coarse censor upon American manners, whose book caused no small sensation some thirty years ago. Among her numerous works of fiction, “ The Vicar of Wrexhill ” and « The Widow Baroaby” have a chance of being reprinted a score years hence- Her son Anthony, who holds a high office in the English Post Office, has written less and better than his mother. “Dr. Thorne ” and “ The Bertrams ” are deservedly popular, and his “Orley Farm,” now appear ing in Harper’s Magazine, is certainly one of the very best serials of the day. The Harpers have published the second and concluding volume of “Tom Brown at Ox ford,” a book which we have already com mended for its marked ability as well as for its excellent tone, and the insight it gives into university life in England. That beautiful series of classical authors, eminently accurate in the text and marvel lously low-priced, entitled “Harper’s Greek and Latin Texts,” has previously had our good word. Three new volumes have just been published. These are Lucretius (De Rerum Natural, edited by Hugh A. J. Munro, M. A., with a Preface containing notes and virions readings; Cicero (De Senectute and De Amicitia, and the Epistolse Selectm), edited by Professor George Long; and Csesar’s wonderful Commentaries on the Gallic war, also edited by Long. The preceding authors in this edition, in which the typography is as fine as the revised text is accurate, are Virgil, Horace, iEscbylus, Euripides, Hero dotus, and Thucydides. Fancy these classics at 40 cents a volume! These are as much for the library as for use in private and public education. Their accuracy make* them pre ferable for teachers and learners to any other editions. Two other instructive works, just published by Messrs. Harper, remaia to bo noticed 1 These are «Trim ary Object Lessons for a Gradual Course of Development; a manual for teachers and parents, with Lessons for the proper training ot the Faculties of Children,” by N. A. Calkins, and the “ History of Mar garet of Anjou, yueen of Henry Vf. of Eng land,” by Jacob Abbott, The Object Lessons has a colored frontis piece and many wood-cuts illustrating things described. The design of the book is to aid teachers in the gradual development of youth ful minds by observation. The subjects chiefly illustrated here are Form, Drawing, Color, Number, Size, Weight, Sound, the Human Body, Place, Moral Ideas, and Physi cal Training, with a graduated Course ot Object Lessons, The latter may be commenced with children at almost any age. The book is destined to extensive nso in families as well as in schools. Mr. Abbott’s biography of Margaret of An jou—the proud dame, daughter of feeble minded King Rene who figures in Scott’s “ Anne of Gierstein”—is more historical than personal, and illustrates that portion of the English annals which records the triumph of the House of Tork, in the person oi Edward the Fourth. There are numerous wood engravings of superior execution, as well as a map and title-page in gold and colors. Here we must pause, though we hare several other new books to notico, including two band some octavo volumes from the press oi Messrs. Harper. Theso, rich in engravings, are Mr. Lamont’s “Seasons with the Sea-Horses; or, Sporting Adventures in the Northern Seas,” and Dr. Davis’s “ Carthage and her Re mains, being an account of the excavations ■ and researches on the site of the Phoenician metropolis of Africa and other adjacent places.” These researches were conducted under the auspices and at the cost of the British Government, and their result was the disintorring the remains ot the classical city ot Dido. The objects recovered from the wrock of Carthage are in the British Museum byYhis time, and possess as much value and interest as those dug up from Pompeii and Hercuianonm, These books wo can only name to-day. They severally illustrate adventure and re search. Wylie P.

Letter from “ Harvey Birch.” Correapmiclarms of Tho Press.) Wabhisotox, Aug. X, 1841. 1 have soon letters from the constituents of some of the Kentucky members oi Congress, asking the Representatives “to use their in fluence for peace on the best terms it can be had,” while the writers at tho same time ad mit that they are “ opposed to the Kentucky members voting men or money for any pur pose whatever.’’ This admission is, to mo, a conviction that no argument can be addressed to such men which will have the power to show them the logical absurdity of their posi tion, or their unfitness for acting as censors upon the conduct oi tho Representatives from Kentucky. They delude themselves with the idea that party feeling is supreme here at the capital, and that the votes of Southern Union men are given to support Mr. Lincoln and the Republican party. If this is not self-delusion, it implies a charge against such Union men of being either knaves or foolß. There exists no recognition of party lines, here ; there is an unexampled unanimity for voting every meanß of defence which the Administration asks to protect the Government from the assaults oi traitors and the treachery of those who, while assuming to be its friends, would tie its hands, embarrass its action, and hand it over bound to the tender mercies of the Secession ists. The question at issue here is not whe- ther the Government shall bo placed in tho hands of the Republicans, but shall it bo pro- tected from the assassin blows of the Dis unionists ? The votes of tho layal men from Kentucky, Missouri, Virginia, and Maryland are not given as partisans, but as patriots ; and the prejudices and sympathies of those who criticise these votes lead them to look through a glass darkling upon tho lino of duty marked out by Congressmen as American ci tizens. What were thoy to do ? Were they to pause and calculate results, or the duration oi time, or the amount of life and u calth it would require to corquer this bold rebellion ? The sympathizers with Secession, if not its apologists, ask for peace on the best terms it can be bad ; but can tbere be any parley with armed traitors, or is that Government fit to exiß which cannot protect its own dignity, vindicate its own sovereignty, and enforce its la as 7 If this wicked, unjustifiable, and most selfish conspiracy to broak up the Govern ment cannot be quelled without the surrender of all national honor and dignity, why, let the republic fall, and let ns perish beneath its ruins, rather than snrvivo to be the finger mark tor the world’s scorn, or to read the damning record on the historic page that the sons of the sires of ’76, in the short space oi eighty-five years, became so degenerate that they could not maintain the noble heritage of their fathers. There are maDy persons interested in mer cantile pursuits in thi Southern Border Sta’ca, and especially at locations like Louisville, Pa ducah, and St. Louis, which have been the links of communication between the trade of the free and the slave States, who look at this question lrom a confined stand-point, and their horizon is brought too noar by tho effects of mistaken ideas of business interests. Their vision should take a broader and wider range, and overtook the temporary disadvantages of an interrupted market for their States. Has our country—the United States of America— no future that is worth a struggle • or must the “ almighty dollar ” kick the beam, and out weigh the glorious destiny Which is in store for it 7 We must preserve our Constitution and onr Government for lbe best interests of all the people of every section, for there is nothing more certain than that the State motto of Kentucky, “ United we stand, divided wo fall,” will have all the significance oi pro phecy if we permit one star of our constellation to “ shoot madly from its sphere.” The first great duty is to preserve the Union; that ef fected, we can most readily harmonize all ap parent difficulties, and Btop foreyer this sense less sectional wrangling. These fault finders to whom I have alluded, say that the Republicans do not care for the preservation of the Union on constitntional grounds, and that they are as ready as any party in the South to dissolve tho Union, un less their iavorito measure, the abolition of slavery, can be carried out. That some of the party which is now dominant, under tho forms of the Constitution, may be ready ior such measures, Ido not pretend to deny; but an appeal to candor, and the action of Con gress, will bear out the declaration that no such purpose animates the large majority of the Republican party. The Corwin amend ment to tho Constitution,.passed at the last session, and the resolution offered by Mr. Crittenden and carried on the *22d ult., with the opposition of but two Representatives, and those two sympathizing most clearly with tho Southern Disunionißts, give expression to the objects of the Government in the war for which men and money Jiave been voted, and will be voted to the last point of our country’s endurance. The war is waged, not to subju gate the South, not to destroy or impair any right or institution in the rebellious States, but to re-establish the authority of the Consti tution and laws of the United Stateß over the people of those States, and when this is se cured the war shall cease. This is the only peace which is attainable or desirable. A peace secured by the recognition of the South ern Confederacy would be to acknowledge a cheat, a delusion, and lie. It would be to se cure a peace that would rest on no stable basis, but one liable to be broken whenever a State of the United States shonld choose to exercise the presumed right of secession. It would bo to recognize a principle in our Government, de structive of all confidence in its stability or power of self-preservation, and much more fatal to its power to protect the rights of its citizens. It is a singular and melancholy fact that men Who have the facilities for knowing the temper of the present Congress, and are conversant with the doings of the Administration, should permit the calumnies of the Secessionists to prejudice their judgment to tho extent of gravely asserting that this war has for its ob jects the coercion of the South, or any in fringement upon its rights. We are accus tomed to hear such sophistries proclaimed in unworthy quarters and by mendacious news papers, but not lrom gentlemen of intelligence and connected with the business interests of the country ; indeed, were the judgments of such men warped by forced and illogical construc tions of State sovereignty and the powers of the General Government to conserve its exis- tence, it would be time, indeed, to despair of the Republic. Patriotism and common sense must bring the conviction that there can be no peace while the laws of the United States are opposed by insurrection, and we cannot escape the truth asserted by Gen. Jackson, «that Disunion, by armed force, is treason.” Can we parley with insurrection or hold terms of pacification with treason 7 Peace accepted upon such conditions and under such influ ences would be a national infamy, and God forbid that Congress should be so recreant aB to advocate it, while a traitor is in arms against the Government, or tho execution of the laws is impeded in any quarter of the Union. These are the reasons why I congratulate tho country upon the noble stand which has been taken by the Representatives from the Border slave States, and though a few of their constitu ents may cavil at their course of' conduct, the vast majority of theirfellow-citizens cannot but approve thoir dignified, prompt, and pa triotic action.

CFor The Preee.J It must be a source of pain to every true patriot, and of apprehension to overy far sighted one, to notice the frequent uncompli mentary references, in some Northern papers, to the editors, and to the officers, civil and military, of loyal sister States. Such com plaints have the appearance of being made through State partisanship, and therefore are to be deplored, no fostering that spirit which lies at the bottom of all our national troubles, inordinate State pride. Editors and correspondents who yield to this thoughtlessness know not what they do. In this crisis we ought not to think oi States. Once let in a jealous Bpirit among tho loyal members ot this Union and our cause is just as surely lost as it we had been defeated in a hundred battles. We conjure all persons influencing Northern sentiment not to promote controversy, by al luding to State distinctions, in other than an agreeable mood. If misstatements are made elsewhere, better far let them go utterly unan swered. Facts patent to the world will al ways tako care of themselves. Wo are parties to one of tho most fearful wars that history will ever record; and for what? Because tho North loves to fight? Assuredly not; blit to preserve a consolidated Government. Let ns not, then, donbly ruin our causo, by weakening our united strength, and by tbe exhibition of citato jealousy, giving tho lie to tho very principle for which the war is maintained. Caution.

The St. Louis people, who have been burdened with stump-tail currency, hail with delight the appearance of the U. S. Treasury notes. The democrat says; " Within the last few days, $lOO 000 worth ot United States Treasury notes have been sent here for disbursement, through the quartermaster’s depaitment, and the fact is very generally bailed with delight, and the nates will be eagerly sought after as a very sale investment These Treasury notes not only boar six peroent. inte'Sst, but are an admirable medium of exohange, always worth within a fraction or thoir face in gold and silver, anywhere in tho United States. Our loyal aiti isns should withdraw at onoe their funds now invested in ‘ stump-tail’ bank stocks, or snoh bank paper, and take all they o&n get of Treasury notes. And those who have goods of any kind that the Government wants, horses, moles, wagons, harness, saddles, flour and provisions, should be glad to take these notes, for they are not only safe, but are readily convertible into hard money, with out the enormons shaves that have to be borne in case of Missouri money. Then again, the else of the notes brings them within the reach of ali, and men of small moans who wish to do something for their conntry, may invest in this patriotic fund. In every-view of the ease, the issue of these Treasury notes may be considered a fortunate thing for the country, and we wish they may be come so popular as a oirculatiug medium, that they will take off the irredeemable staff now in eiroulation in the shape of bank promises to pay. The New York Post of to-day says: The stock market ib firm at the prices of yester day. In Borne descriptions there is a decided im provement, though the general list shows no im portant change.

The oredit of the Government underwent a far ther rise of li per oent, the Sixes of 1881 celling as high aa 891, which is within 1 per oent of the highest point tonokod previous to the oheok at Manassas.
