It is cen -siderably largeuthan the first Part. Dr. D'Aubigne's " History of the Reformation in the Time of Calvin," volumes one and two, is about being published in London. Will it relate. how Calvin had his enemy, Servetus, burned alive at Geneva; on a trumped-up charge of heresy I By ar rangement with the author, this work will be re pUblished; next week, by Robert Carter & Brothers, New Fork. Einglake, M. P., the well-known author of " Eothen," has produced the book of the season in London. It is called "The Invasion of the Crimea ; its Origin, and an Account of its Progress down to the Death of Lord Raglan." It has a treble object : to vindicate the military character of fiord Raglan, the English commander; to attack the personal character of Napoleon 111, his generals and ministers: to exhibit the author's wonderful command of lan guage.' This remarkable work will be immediately published, by Harper & Brothers, with maps and plans. It is worth notice that, in its composition, Mr. Kinglake had access to all of Lord Raglan's papers, besides other valuable documente—many _ from French officers and statesmen. Stamp Collector's magazine, published monthly, has lieenitarted in London, and will probably sell largely among collectors.

The scene is laid in York shire. The narrative is chiefly in the Yorkshire vernacular dialect—rather hard to read at first. The time is the close of the Jut century. The incidents arise out of the enormity of the press-gang system, now, happily, abolished in England.

ASNY AP THE POTOMAC. The -Recent . !Cavalry Raid. Across . the Rappalkannoek-:-Additions4 Details—The Losses—lmproved Contlition of 'axle Army. TSE 1,8,1* PAVALIIT ADVANCE . A correspondent of the .2'ribune, writing from Gen. Hookeee headquarter, under date of March 19, gala : I learn that there was a matter, of personal pride on the part of . Gen. Averill, in the success of the ex pedition. It seems that soon after the last attempt on our lines near Hartwood Church, Fitzhugh Lee eentpver a figg of truce for the bodies of.two of his officers, who were killed on that occasion. At tine time Lee left a bantering letter with thl pickets for General Averill, who was. his clase-ma.te at West Point, indirectly challenging him to come over and fight him. Lee had not long to wait. It being found necessary to clear one flank in the direction of War renton of prowling rebels, and to positively verify Borne reports of our scouts, Gen. Averill was ordered to make a dash in that direction, cross the river, find Lee. murfight him. Ali of which was handsomely done. . . The expedition left on Monday morning, and ar rived near Kelly's Ford late in the day. The force detailed to move toward Warrenton did so early the next (Tuesday) morning, and though advancing to the railroad at Beedeton Station, found nothing but scouts of therenemy, although the citizens reported a brigade of them in that vicinity, and information had come that Stuart was at Warrenton on Monday, but whether with or without force it was impossible to say. The crossing of the ford was accomplished soon after daylight by Gen. Averill's main force, and for brilliant bravery fully equals the - record of Frede ricksburg, although no artillery was used on either side. It was certainly one Of the ,Most remarkable exhibitions of dash and darhig which have yet occur red, in thin war. . The ford was narrow, th e . ads on either side bar ricaded by trees, and the ap roaches and operations had all to be conducted in th eface of a scathing fire from rebel sharpshooters, who were well 'concealed in and behind houses and ditches on their side ; but our men effected the passage, with a loss surprising ly email, and executed the nnotement so suddenly that only a portion of the dismounted rebels managed to escape. The inet were captured to the number fifty, and theyreported that the guard at the ford was about one hundred, it having been in creased that morning by a detachment from Rappa hannock Ford, four miles above. The fight at the ford, which delayed our crossing for an hour and a half, served= to put Lee on his guard, and Gen. Averill very rightly supposed that he would turn out his brigadeand ride'down to see .what was the matter. Re had verified his supposi ,tion of Lee's whereabouts the statements of the prisonere, who said ' ' panchara miles:and , a half this Bide of Culpepiie ourt House, and that .4 7 his whole brigade of'five r mentor was there. He therefore rested his comman for an hour -or two, with pickets well thrown out. • About 123 E the ad vance was ordered, and in fifteen minutes the enemy was discovered. The largest and most brilliant cavalry contest of the war followed, lasting with slight intermissions until 5 o'clock, in which Lee was repulsed at every point, driven two miles with heavy loss, the conflict being mainly with the sabre and pistol, though the carbine was frequently used with excellent effect. Our men made several gallant charges, the enemy retreating In every instance, generally not waiting until the flashing sabres of our men got within - striking distance, but rushing for the friendly cover of the woods. Your correspondent has seen in this war several brilliant cavalry charges, but he never saw anything so handsome and exciting as the dashing oharge made in the beginning of the fight, on the left of our line, by Colonel Dare, command ing on that part of the field. Our cavalry was composed partly of new and partly of tried regiments, and I must say that they nearly all behaved with greed credit. The affair is of great benefit to our cavalry foree, who have thus been taught that they are fully equal, if not superior, to the enemy. Lee was soundly thrashed in every contest he sought, and our forces retired when they got ready,Without interruption. The gallantry displayed by many of the officers deserves particular mention. General Averill gave ample evidence of his abllity:as a cavalry command er by his management of the affair. .His staff were active and gallant, especially Major Chambertain, who was wounded early in the - day'at the Ford, while acting in the most intrepid manner. Captain Moore, of General Hookers staf, added to his well earned reputation awe lighting 'man, while Colonel Duffle, Colonel Mclntosh, Captain Reno, of the let Cavalry, Captain Lieb and Lieutenant Walker, of the sth, Captain Newhall, of the 3d Pennsylvania, and the gallant Brown, of Rhode Island, who led the thatplatoon across the river, and many others whose names I cannot now recall, deserve warm commenda tion for their gallantry and faithful conduct.

McClellan, in a private letter recently received here, says : " - Judging from what I see and hear, I should have no hesitation in saying that the Army of the Poto mac is Improving every day, and that it was never in as:good and efficient condition'as at the present time.. The study of the science of war is not per mitted to do away with the necessity of a knowledge and practice of the art of war. I think the three requisites to constitute a good military organiza tion, the physical, the moral, and the Intellectual, are now in more happy accord than they have ever been before, and I trust and pray that they may re main so and that this army has ceased to be an. engine with which to experiment and to test gene. rale, or rather men, to rind out if they could ever be come general." . - THE REBEL GENERAL STUART AND HIS SURROUNDINGrS.—A correspondent of the Fay etteville (N.

I may here say that eight miles farther on, at Trenton, we bad learned that a b rig ade of rebels had been posted, and our troops manifested a strong desire to push on after dark ler the Purpose of "gobbling" them ; but our General deemed that a March of eight Miles added to one of-twenty would illy prepare our boys to fight a fresh. force, so we laid by. until daylight, while the cavalry were pushed forward to scorr the country. • At daylight we were again on the march, and bad proceeded some six miles towards Trenton, when word came back from the cavalry advance that Trenton was ours, .the rebels having taken French leave the day before on hearing of our al,- . proach. Then the infantry were halted and marched back to the McDaniel plantation, thence to Young's Cross Roads, eighteen miles, where they camped for the night, while the cavalry pressed on 'in the enemy's rear to within , a few miles of Kinston, re turning to camp late at night. Sunday came, and with it another march of sixteen miles to Lloyd's meadow, in the direction of Swansborough. Here we encamped, and on Monday, after despatching the cavalry to reconnoitre the country as far as Swansborougb, the general turned back his forces In the direction of Newbetn. In crossing the White Oak river, beyond Young's Cross Roads, we encountered the enemy's pickets; but, as the bridge was gone, they escaped us, though we ran on to them a few miles further on, and sun ceeded-in taking eight of them prisoners, among whom was a Lieutenant Williams, of the let North Carolina Cavalry, two aergeante, and live privates. We encountered nothing on the march out or back which led to any mishap on our part, and reached Newbem on eruesday night with a goodly array of prisoners, having . succeeded in driving away all rebel forces from Our vicinity, and ascertaining that there was no armed force nearer to us than Kinston. EXPEDITION TO LAKE MA.TTIMUSKEET. On Sunday, March Ist, an expedition consisting of Company G, let North Carolina Union Volun teers, Lieutenant Joy; a battery, Lieutenant Burk, and Company P, 3d New York Cavalry, Captain Richardson, left Newbern for Hyde county, on the steamer .Escort, accompanied by the gunboat North State. The expedition, under command of Captain Richardson, landed at Rose Bay Bridge on Monday afternoon, at two o'clock, and proceeded to make a detour: around Lake Mattimuskeet. Pickets were constantly being driven in, but nothing of particular interest occurred until Wednesday morn ing, at about ten o'clock, within six • miles of Lake Landing, when the forces were fired upon from the wo os, near a place called "Skeet' , The infantry immediately deployed and charged into the woods, while the battery proceeded to throw some shell into the woode,completely routing and dispersing them. The rally then being sounded, the troops proceeded on to Swan Quarter, the shire of Hyde. When within a- mile and a quarter of the latter place the advance (cavalry) were fired upon from the woods skirting the road where the guerillas were stationed in great force. The infantry imme diately deployed into the woods, the battery opened fire; and for about twenty minutes the battle was very lively. The first volley from the rebels killed three of the cavalry outright, and wounded twelve of the same. After a short stand the rebels gave way and fled, leaving some thirty of their number dead and wounded on the ground in the swamp. The Union force then proceeded through to Swan Quer , . ter, carrying their dead and wounded. Atthis place they remained during the night, and the next day embarked for Newbern. The rebel Captain Swin dell and his lieutenant were among the slain. THE AFFAIR AT DEEP GULLY On the 13th, the anniversary of the opening of the battle of Newbern, the enemy appeared inlarge force between the Trent and Neuse rivers, and drove our pickets in over Deep_ Gully. Colonel Lewis,. commanding the 3d New York Cavalry, was imme diately thrown out, with Belger's Battery, to hold the enemy in cheek., which he successfully &mom.' Oohed, when General Palmer came up with a por tion of his command, and the enemy fell back. On the morning of the 14th, a large force of , the enemy, with eighteen pieces of artillery, appeared in front of Fort "Ithderson on the north side of the i Neuse, and commenced ts bombardment. Fort Anderson Is an unfinished earthwork, without any cannon then mounted. The enemy sent in by flag of truce, a summons to surrender, to which Monet Andersori, commanding the garrison with th e 92d New York Volunteers, re. plied that it would be impossible for him to entertain the proposition, and immediately sent word to Go- Decal Foster, at Newbern, of the force and descrip tion of the enemy. The enemy, under command of General Pettigrew, s omted al t i v d ith I s e t ir er ba ; batteries mesenaptraohort ra tected tfet:,:pharsabp:i were untouched, but the tents in the rear of the fort were completely riddled. The cannonading at daylight aroused the whole town, the troops were under arms, and everything made ready for a general attack on the city. General Foster sent word to the garrison to hold ont till the last moment and never to surrender. Tbe gunboats under command of Commodore Murray were soon in position, and the scene became one of intense excitement; everything centred on the little band in the fort. The gunboats soon sent their terrible missiles, and told upon the enemy with good effect, one shell from the Hunchback killing two men and wounding thirteen. The enemy's fire slackened, and then entirely ceased ; another nag of truce, with a summons to surrender, giving Colonel Anderson seven minutes to answer in before an assault. Colonel Anderson replied that he did not want seven seconds, and that, when they fired, it suited his convenience as well as the assault. During this time General Prince had been placing in position some 20-pound hoWitzers, belonging to Ransom's battery, and they opened upon the enemy In a lively manner, and after three hours' sharp work, the enemy fell back repulsed in their efforts to capture Colonel Anderson and his command. During the day the fort was reinforced by the 85th New York. Gen. Foster was present where the danger was most imminent, and directed in person much of the artillery the from the Newborn aide of the Neuse river. The casualties were very slight on' our side—one killed and two wounded. During the cannonading the banks of the Nense were lined with men, women, and children, as well as the house-tops. A deserter reports that the enemy suffered severe ly from the shells of the gunboats and our twenty pounder howitzers. The shots from the enemy's guns seldom reached the Newbern side of the Neuse. One gun of the enemy burst during the en gagement, killing and wounding several. THE Arraux UPON THE NINETY-SECOND REGIMENT was a much more formidable one than I at first sup. , posed, as by deserters I learn that the rebel force consisted of no less than seven regiments of infantry, seventeen pieces of artillery, and a regiment of cavalry, under command of Gen. Pettigrew. At daylight General Pettigrew summoned the e2d to surrender, and at the time had his artillery planted at the skirt of the wood, about five hundred yards from the works. The demand was imperative and Colonel Anderson's reply . as laconic and decisive, being simply, " I don't see it in that light." Then the artillery and infantry opened upon our works, and was replied to vigorously. The tents and huts inside the works were riddled with shot and shell, but we lost but four men wounded in the whole affair. The rebel force on the Trent road consisted of lour b2igades of infantry and two regiments of cavalry, under Brigadier General Daniels. He had also five batteries of artillery, as I learn from prisoners and deserters. Stranar, March l6—Noon.—The rebels have re tired towards Kinston, and all is quiet. The whole affair has been a superb failure. ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

BE URN TO IdILLDZEN'S BEND. NEAR VI6IEBURG, March 9.—To-day our army, at least that portion of it which has been laying here and nearest to Vicksburg . , is embarking on board their transports, exoept one division, which will occupy the levee. All other land:at this point is feat disappearing under the flood which theawollen Mississippi le rolling down upon us. The higher spots of our late camping grounds are fast becoming small, islets, surrounded by the debris of soldiers' habitations, and the overflow slowly gathers. today over our last night's resting places. Stretching along like a great beam, half hidden in the flood, water ap pearing far on each side, ie the levee, and on its 111111/- mit troops are thickly clustered. A cold wind blows from the north; the sky is as dreary and leaden as that of an Eastern winter, and our summer air has, in one night, become piercing and raw. Off to Milliken's bend, twenty miles above, goes a portion of the army, but their stay there will be temporary. Much will be erowdedintothe next few days and the finale of our long labors is at hand. TheYazoo river is in our possession, with the ex ception of one point, that at Haines' Bluff; the rebel batteries of which are now menaced by a fleet both above and below. TEE ATTITUDE OF A,FFA.IRS. A combined attack will take place by the navy, probably to-morrow or the day after, and it cannot l'slll to be successful. The volition of affairs here may be thus briefly summed 'up.

MOUTH OF THE COLDWATER Ilrinitt, , The Yazoo Pass expedition has at Miss. Mara 9: - lastauceeedot intetting safely through the channels of Yazoo Pau and Coldwater. Yet, as might have been expected, the boats are in a bad condition, particularly the transports. The naval portion of the fleet have not suffbred BO much; they, being built expressly for hard, usage, got through without material injury. Yet all have suffered, more or lean, from unavoidable breakers. As -the boats lie at anchor this evening they - present a very di ff erent appearance from what they did at leaving Helena ten days ago. There they.lie, smokestacks gone, bows split, wheels bro ken, rudders lost, and innumerable disfigurements from bow to stern: One would' not suppose that many of these boats were a few days ago classed with the finest_ steamers thatmayigated the Missis sippi river. The ships , carpenters are busily en gaged this evening in their respective boats, making temporary repairs, which will enable the [fleet to run on down the river at daylight. That these boats got through the•passerwithout being utterly demolished is almost miraculous. The fact that they did succeed, demonstrates that YazooPass and the Coldwater are navigable at-high water, and the generals who opposed an expedition on account of its impracticability, are wrong. THE PURCHASE OF COTTON: For several days past General Rosa has rent his despatch boat in advance of the Elect, for the purpose of obtaining cotton to protect his men and the transports from, the - enemy. The expedition has been very successful, having obtained from one or two-planters several hundred bales, giving in every instance an official Government receipt. AU those of whom we purchased were, or-at least claimed to be, loyal citizens of the United States, with the exception of one. He; being a clergyman of good atandingin the Methodist Church, would not- admit that he was anything else but a strong, uncompro mising Secessionist; had never been In the Southern ventarmy . , but would-go- did not physical disability pre • . . EXPERIENCES OP OUR TROOPS IN MS SLSSIPPL As was expected, we have found immense quantl tiesof cotton while on foraging expeditions. On neatly every plantation that we visited we found from fifty to two hundred bales. As General Ross is not troubled with that prevalent disease among general in this country—" cotton on the brain "—it remains in the possession of the owners. Many of the plaatatdons that we have passed are the finest In the State , by far, and - the most- productive. Among the owners of plantitioni on these streams the names of Dichins, Hill, and General - Altorn axe probably familiar to many Nerthern people. Gen. Alturawas a candidate for the United States Senate before the Lethilature of Mississippi at the time Jeff Davis was elected from that State several years ago. The seat was hotly contested by both parties. A. number of days was spent in balloting, resulting in no election—Davis " playing an underhanded game," es the Alton' party claim that he was elected by th ree votes. Ever since the most bitter feeling has existed between the two men. This, probably, is the reason why General Altorn is notin the Con federate army. ON TO VICTORY We are now on the lookout for a battle at any time. We have reliable information that the enemy have built the strongest fortifications at several points on the Tallahatchie, and will contest every inch of ground.with desperation. That these state ments are true, is beyond a doubt, for they well know that if this expedition is successful, Vicksburg is lost to them beyond recovery. We have given Them ample - time for preparation. We expect to meet the enemy first at Greenwood. It is estimated y haye_timentythownsnd men. She This evening Gen. Ross issued the following order 'to his command : HEADQUARTERS /3771 STRAXER VOLUNTEER, MOUTR OF COLDV7ATER, RUES., March 8, /M. ORITERA.L ORDERS - NO. officers and Sotdiersof the Yazoo Expedition: You have embarked in an enterprise of great im portance and corresponding labor and difficulty. The enemy, driven back by your valor to his last strong hold In the West, prepares with sullen-desperation to contest all your approaches.

If rarmatts, Assistant Adjutant GeheraL A BATOR OF RUMORS VICESSVIIO, March U, via Canto, j&—There are rumors in the fleet, this morning, thitt the expedition which entered Yazoo Pass a week or two since, has passed the obstructions in the Tallahatchie and Yet labusha, and now has possession of Yazoo City. If this is true, you may expect stirring events in this region shortly. The canal at Lake Providence Is completed, and only requires two hours' labor in cutting the levee to turn a column of water two feet deep from the Mississippi into Bayou Macon. The Tenses, Black, and Bed rivers' water will not be let in for a week. It is said that yesterday Colonel Ferguson, of the Confederate army, sent a flag of truce to Captain Prichard of the gunboat Tyler, now lying off' Green ville, lies., demanding the reason of the capture of two men bearing a flag on the preceding day. Cap tain Prichard replied that the men were taken as spies, and requested Colonel Ferguson to send no more Hags, except on important matters: Colonel Ferguson's command comprises 1,600 me; and is now stationed -- on Deer creek, six miles nearer Greenville. P/0111 all accounts, Gen. la urbridge was badly whipped near Greenville a fortnight since. I have not'yet ascertained, the extent of oar losses, but they will probably reach 60 in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The water in this neighborhood is rising at a rapid rate, and unless we soon get ready to assume active, offensive operations, which will cause us to remove to some drier qua rters, the army will be drowned out. The Confederate gunboat Webb, is lying close in to the Mississippi shore, evidently sinking. Her severe encounter with the Indianola proved too much for her. Before Vicksburg, March-IS, via Cairo, March 18.
