To.newspapermen the Cyclopadia will be invalu
able. We saythis advisedly, for we have constant,
occasion to refer to it, and can testify that its infor
mation is late, lull, and accurate. Another point,
..which gives it. a national character, is the fulness
with which it treats of all American subjects. Every
line in t£e whole sixteen, volumes is original, having
•. been Expressly written for this work, whereas, in the
J£ncyclop<zdia Brilannica, are to be found, without
change, numerous articles which stand as they first

frankly' say, that the New American Cyclopaedia is
the best and cheapest in the English language. It

The Poetical' Works ok Robert Burns.—The

vard'College, is the moat complete ever published.
I&is .published by Little, Brown,Ac Co., Boston, and
already consistb of 120 volumes. Its superiority
oyd All previous collections lies in-the fact that it
includes the poets whose writings are copyrighted in
England. For instance/the only modern edition
that 1 can at all be placed in rivalry with.it is that is
sued s by the late William Pickering, publisher, in'
London, chiefly edited by. the Rev. John Mitford, and
known as “ The Aldine edition of the Poets.” This
collection'is good, as'faras it goes, but necessarily ex
cluSecbtliq. poetical works of Scott/ Byron, Mont
gomery, Shelley/ Moore, Words
.worth, Hood, and others—all; of whom are included
’in the edition before us. 'ln fact, no English collec
tion cari be as complete as thisr Therehas juat been
published,- as part of this series/the whole of Burns*
Poems, with a brief but sufficient biography, and a
copy of the portrait by Naesmith, to the accuracy of
Which Scott has borne testimony. Inthetext of the
poems Robert Chambers’ four volume edition of the
Life and Works hasbeen followed, and when necessa
ry, Mr.‘ Chambers’ biographical notes have been re
tained as prefaces to the different poems. Reference
haß also been made to the three editions published

mqus edition j to Oromek’e Relics of Bums ; to
Lockhart’s Life of the Poet; and to the later edi

Chambers, and Messrs. Blackie. There are, in this
Boston edition, several poems not previously in
cluded in Burns’ works, a few pieces doubtfully at-,
tributed to Burns, and a double index—one of the
titles of the poems, another to the songs, according
to their first lines. The work has been printed at'
theßiveiside Press, which guaranties its neatness.

Paez* Will Scenes in-South America.—Don
Ramon Paez, son of the gallant veteran and patriot,
General Paez, President and Dictator of Venezuela,
has produced one of the most lively and instructive
books of travel that we have seen for some years.
As far back aa December, 1846, he started for the
Lianos of Venezuela, and his adventures fill a re
spectable volume, which is enriched with; thirty
four engravings—many of them very spirited. The
time occupied on this book is three years. Hr. Paez
writes English like a native, having been educated
at; Stonyhurst, and the especial attention he gives,
in his book, to natural history,’is worthy of the
friend of the eccentric and venerable Charles Water

Malge.— This is a novel, of rather a religious'
turn, published'anonymously, by Appletons/of New

to Madge), she is an unexceptionable young person,
resembling the pattern women whom Miss Edgeworth
was so fond of drawing. The anonymous author
ought to know; that an English baronet’B daughter

!' “ Observations on China and the Chinese,” by W.
L. Gr. Smith, late TJ. S. Consul] at is a
small volume of unusual merit. Mr. Smith has
made a great deal of his official opportunities, and
having thoroughly digested the knowledge which he
had acquired, the result is a book which, much bet
ter than more ambitious works, shows the Chinese
as they arc. Mr. Smith thoroughly knew the peo
ple, and makes his readers familiar with them, too.
For the most part, his style is easy and correct, but
we should like to know where he found such a phrase
as(p. 124) “the rights of exterritoriality,” and what it
meansi Words should not be coined, except under
rare necessity. For our own part, we have made
only a single new word in thirty years’almost daily

ALL FOOLS’ DAY

the military persuasion, vulgarly called f< deserters, 1 ’
who for the past eight weekß have been skulk

town. This being their last day of.grace for return

since ten o’clock, and there is likely to be a regiment
on hand before sundown. The still-remaining re
creants (and there are many of them) who let to-day
go by without reporting at the nearest headquarters,
or encampment, will be liable to the rigors of a
drum-head court-martial when hereafter; arrested,
and a speedy execution by shooting. It is the

the bill ib, to give the grantees an exclusive right to
lay a railroad in any and all the streets of the. city
not specially excepted in the bill, and the railroad
men bind , themselves to pay all their profits over
ten per cent, into the city treasury. This last
proviso,! of course, is the sheerest humbug], as
the speculators-in rails will be sure to make jußt
exactly “ten per cent.,” -and no more, the nominal
amount of all their profits. The Union Ferry
Company, by its charter, 1b bound to give all its
earnings “ over ten per cent.” to the hospitaVfundj
but it is a remarkable fact that said oompany has
never yet announced a dividend of over the afore
said magic Ten, though its shareholders notoriously
manage to receive about fifty per cent, from their* in

ments like. .Stewarts’ Lord & Taylor’B, Übsdell,
Pierson, & Lake’s, Tiffany’s, etc., a majority.of
whose aristocratic retail customers come in their

the cars in such a narrow street as Broadway, there
will be no room for Mrs. Potiphar’s dignified coach-,

powerful opposition to the impending bill.
FOREIGN INTERVENTION
in our national affairs was severely denounced last
night, by a large meeting of the foreign population,
at Cooper Institute, and one of the most-applauded
speakers was a German, who bitterly censured Se
cretary Seward for allowing no sign of sympathy for.
the foreign revolutionary, or democratic spirit, to
appear in his despatches to foreign courts. Another
speaker won considerable favor by making a slur
ring allusion to that clause; of the conscription bill
which “allows a rich man to| buy a poor man’s life
and liberty for three hundred dollars.” The meet
ing was Attended, and enlivened, by a delegation of
foreigners, from Newark, New Jersey, who carried
a Red-Republican flag surmounted by a huge cap of

To the Editor of The Tress :
■' Sir ; Recently the above expression fell from the
lipßof an elderly gentleman of this bity, while he
and a youngerfriend discussed the questions of the
day in the audience of the writer. The younger*
man urged earnestly the necessity of a vigorous sup
port of the Government aB the only way to put down
the rebellion, restore peace and unity, and save the
country from total overthrow. The elderly man
said, “ Oh, I am for the country, but against the Go-

logic learn from higher than man’s authority that'
“ the heart is deceitful above all things and despe
rately wicked.” Is it possible that any sane man
can be so blind and wilful as not to see that, in this
hour of peril, when the Temple of American Liberty
is assaulted by internal and external enemies, any
refusal to obey the constituted authorities in their
efforts to put down treason and rebellion, any at
tempt to hinder or discourage others, and all factious
opposition is direct, tangible aid to the assailants,
and against his country 1 There is no middle ground
■ —friends and enemies compose the only parties to
this struggle ; no citizen can look on in idleness and
be innocent. He therefore who halts now, or hesi
tates to give to the Government his full heart (yield
ing for the time lub preferences and party ties) takes
sides with all the enemies of his country. Govern

Is that member of a household its friend who resists
the authority of its head, refuses to work, and op
poses with bitterness; the obedience of others, be
cause the father does not yield to the policy dictated
by thiß wayward son! If** other members of. the
same household have revolted, stolen, burned and de
stroyed much of the common estate, murdered many
of their brethren, and still continue to destroy, mur

them in their attempt to divide and overthrow it,
can he. who.has. no word or act of condemnation for
them claim to be its friendl In a position no less
enviable than that above described, the gentleman
referred to places himself beside all those who, in
this crisis, fold their arms and cry out against the
Government, the taxes, the conscription, and in
favor of offering terms to armed rebels! Such men
are more to be dreaded and scorned than open ene
mies. The true test of friendship for country is the
ready obedience of its citizens to the legally consti
tuted authorities. All'the greatness of this nation,
all the glory of itß past history, has resulted from
such obedience. It alone has ever been the tower
of our strength, and is our only protection this day/

now come these croakers, disorganizes, and traitors
of the North! Certainly hot from the Republican
party, but are rather the fungus of the old Demo

of the late Administration, which, buzzard-like,
they had torn and bled for. years past. They are

.right in this trying hour, while differing from many
-who claim the name of Democrat, will be a higher
source of gratification than the praises of men, to
the many true Democrats who stand firmly by.their

Desertion and Conscription.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir : The mOBt careless observer may readily per
ceive that desertion, unless checked, must neces
sarily be followed,by conscription, since the places
vacated by these creatures must be refilled, or the
army.will gradually melt away until no longer equal
to the emergency that haß called itinto existence. It
can be seen as readily that the greater the number of
persons who apply themselves diligently to remedy .
this evil the sooner it will be cured. What is to be
done t It is Btated that there are at present no leas
than 200,000 deserters scattered throughout the
country. Their absence from the ranks creates a de
mand for more men which must be met,- and
il met by a draft,there will be loud complaints and
murmurs from those, persons who, instead of con-.
sidering-it one of their greatest privileges to be .
called on to serve their country in the hour of her ■
need, will growl with bitterness when, as they will
probably express it, they, or those dear to them, are- :
“ ruthlessly tom from their homes.” They will rail
at the Government for doing .what they themselves
had it in their power to prevent by the exercise of
a little timely duty.j If these . 200,000 deserters ,
were returned to their places, it is most probable'
that the war would be triumphantly ended without
another call for men, dr, if the call should eventually
be made, those taken by it would, be needed<for so :
short a , time that their campaign would be but a
pleasant excursion, in which, .too, they would have: ■
gained-the great renown of having been “ in at the
death ” of the rebellion. It is the fault of the people
that these fellows, these absentees, are not at their
posts. Why is it their, fault Everyone of .these :
deserters has hiß circle of acquaintances, some of
whom must know his position; let them apply to
the nearest'provost marshal, or other properly
constituted authority, to have • him arrested
and taken back. They may say that it is mean to
be “spy and an informer,” but; if they will reflect
they will see that the persons, they desire"to screen
and protect are thieves aiid liars; for what is one
who receives ' bounty without giving the- promised.

pleasant either to read or to hear, and nothing but
an urgent necessity will justify theirsjuse. That such
a necessity is upon us most persons will admit,- and
more can- deny' their perfect;truthfulness. If the
mere words are disagreeable, how much more bo
must be the continued contact with beings to whom
they can with justice be applied? Yet the presence
of these beings is tolerated merely from a mistaken
Bense of delicacy in dealing with them.
But there is another plan which, in many eases,
Will prove as effectual as the one iust proposed. It
will be time 3ost to represent to them that, by the
step they have taken, they are preparing an inherit
ance of shame for their prosperity: and that, if they
retrace their path while it is yet time, their children
and their children’s children will say, “ He helped to
-Bave.his country! we glory in him ! we are descend
ed from him!” . They must be made to- suffer
in their own proper selves. "What do they care
for posterity? - There are but few persons who
cannot be; more or less affected by the opinion
of those around them; aDd if the people will
but use this power judiciously, it will be
but a short time before the causes of their shame
will be removed, from among them. The women of
the land have most influence in this case; it is oceof
their “rights,” and the time has come for them to
make use of it. The plain duty, one which they
oan.perfarm,ofthe mothers, wives, sisters, and sweet
hearts of these men, is to drive .them back to their
duty. It is hard, but has been done before, and
done cheerfully. Each and every oneof the men now
in the field have broken ties quite as dear to-them;
they have also separated from those they loved;
they have left their happy homeß ; they will never
have reason to regret it; but it will be a subject of
rejoicing to them; it will be their pride and their
greatest glory. ' Let .'every citizen—man, woman,
and child—point the finger'of scorn and derision at
the fugitive, and he will soon wish himself any whefle
rather than exposed to this terrible moral scourging,
wliich he will feelthat he fully deserves.- Let them
neglect this, ahd L when the time comes they will
bitterly lament that-, by their own-foolish hesitation ,
they have forced to leave them those whom they
etill have a right to love, respect, and eateem.
I remain, sir,yours truly, C. J. M,
Disquisition on Our Monitors.
To ikeEdilor of The Press: .
Sir: The question of construction of Monitors
with Ericsson was briefly this problem: To findthe
maximum of impenetrability and the minimum of
area exposed. For this reason he sinks the maes-of
his vessel under water to support the comparatively
small exposed turret. The mass of armor is concen
trated upon this; and as to the question, why all is
not made as impervious toshot? we will mention
below. Thus far, supposing the matter of the, distri
bution of armor, and the best plan of floating it, set
tled, the next question was as to the form of turret.
Many persons think now that the choice of a cylin
der was an oversight or mistake of Ericsson’s;
and- to these it may ... be .as well to say that
the cone and prism were both; discussed by
him very fully before he gave his results to tH'e
world, and their benefit to the Government;. The
objections io the prism are, first, that it is much
more liable to tfie chance of a direct impact of shot
(what is improperly called a plumb shot); requires
more iron to get the same resistance, and, therefore,'
more unnecessary : weight; is open to the chance of
an angle being taken oS, ssa requires more bolts to
put it together and hold it firm. Of course, it was
abandoned at once for the prism of infinitely small
sideß, or the cylusder.
Theobjectionato the cone were somewhat the same.
The space was too small inside to work the guns; it
was difficult to construct, and in all respects inferior
to the frustrum of a cone, the diameters of whose
horizontal sectionsare all equal, or in other words,'
the cylinder. Believe me, there is not too much
space in one of those turrets for the crew to breathe,
aiiu work the guns with efficiency. The difficulty of
want of space might have been overcome, it is true, •.
by making the*whole vessel larger; but to do this
would have been to increase draught-of water, and
make her unwieldy ; and if it is sufficiently demon
strated (rb isn’t it?) that their cylindrical turrets' are
all that is required, why cramp our men more than
they need be; why make the turrets practically uncom
fortable, that they may be more nearly theoretically
perfect. Athousandinconveniences would result(in
the conical plan,) both from arrangement's not made
public, and in the steering of the ship. This ques
tion being also determined, there is a third, which
is the .distribution of the three component;
elements in a Monitor—machinery, - armor, and
armament. Leaving' out of, the calculation the
necessary stores, crew, &c., which tend to lower her
in the water so little, in comparison with these
others, that they may for the moment be neglected.
. Given a certain tonnage, the motive power or ma
chinery (engines, boilers, &C.,) will consume a cer
tain part' of her- supporting power, and; of course,
asjyou make this less, you diminish her speed,
which, with strength, are the two great-desiderata
•of a naval ship. After all this motive weight (so to
speak) is put she is capable of supporting
. just as much more as the difference between her ton
nage and this machinery. 'Then comes her arma
ment, of thecannon, shells, powder,grenades, and all
missiles, explosive material, &c., which are to be
used against her antagonist, and this it may easily
be imagined is no small affair, in a vessel construct-'
ed on the principle adopted in our Monitors. If
those persons who sneer the most when one of our.
ships withdraws on account of a lack of more
ammunition, would make the calculation as to how
many rounds one of our small gunboats is capable of
carrying, they would perceive, how-unjust it is to at
tribute wrong motives to.a commander because he
states a fact the most likely to occur, as a'reason,
for his withdrawing, It is much worse in an army •
than afloat, and much less excusable, for there is an
easy and certain transit for additional supply always
open in the rear. The armament then adds consi
.derably to weigh the vessel down, and the remaining
capacity is to be devoted to armor. Of course'this
does not fillup thesum to a pound or ten thousand
of them, for then any additional weight would sink
her in the water. Much must be left for the items
.mentioned above, and the accidental loads she may be
forced to carry while in commission. And ho w shall
the remaining floating power be divided in the armor?
Evidently from the very first consideration of the
form of the vessel, it would be folly to distribute
Ahe'u-eight evenly over the body of the vessel when
the liability to injury is so different in the different
parts. "While the huU in comparatively safe (at
least from, direct shot), the turret is an excellent'
mark, and, therefore, always the, target for our
enemies. The turret from this cause heeds very
much more stability than any.other. part of the ship.
The plan of putting the pilothouse on top of the
turret, instead of upon the. deck, (as in the original
Monitor), belongs to Mr. Newton, a young man
who has distinguished himself in the most brilliant
manner during the short time he has been in our en
gineer service. The respective thicknesses necessary
for the turret of great, and the pilot-house of Bmall
diameter, are not . the same. The chance of direct
impact, (a shot which strikes in a line with the
-radius .. of. ..the curve of horizontal section) is
IeBB in- a .am all "than a large circle, because in the
former the curve is .greater for a given angle; The
turret being eleven inches thrcxr therein re, the pilot
house is but eight. To a casual observer it might
appear that the pilot-house is likely to be knocked
off or shaken by a shot as heavy as it is known
the rebels are able to throw; but this will be seen by
all to be fallacious,‘when, instead of aupposing the
shot coming with its velocity against the pilot house,
the shot be supposed.at rest, and turret coming with
the same velocity towards it. No one would
suppose that any perceptible check would be felt
in the speed, of the latter, when its mass is so
vastly greater. Thus, while thousands of: plans
are proposed by inexperienced men, who have nei

without it, the grait practical minds, in 'answer
to barking skepticism, show results from their la
bors without employing their energies in picking
flaws without suggesting feasible improvement.
Ihave the honor to be, sir, £cc. PKIO.
A View of European Affairs.
To the Editor, of The Press.
Sir: We Americans receive occasional lessons
from the British House of Commons that should be
accepted as very instructive in guiding our relations
with Great Britain. We are all perfectly aware that
questions with the Palmerston Government exist at
Washington, involving chanceß of future war. At
no period of our history has it been more necessary
for our people to inform theinselves in relation to
the form of the Government that we may be called
on to meet in angry diplomacy, anil the genius of the
population thatwill finally be forced by.that Govern
ment to sacrifice itself and its dearest interests in
the gulf that their rulers’ mistakes may have'pre
pared for them. , > .
The recent debate on Poland illustrated two great
features in the England of our day. There was, a
conspicuous shining forth of that candle of insular
moral monopoly that, thank God, we are not as
other men, while the speakers bounded on from
continental barbarity” in general.to heinous in
humanities in particular with tongues as free as
implicit confidence in modem British “neutrality ”
has encouraged them to wag in all directions any
time since five years past. Suddenly an obscure,
uninitiated member dreams the debate a reality—a
truthful exposition of what the House of Commons
iDtendß to do—not only what they intend recom
mending others /to. try to perform at their own risk
and peril. He; gives expression to that one,word
that means too much; that might, by some distant
chance, involve the necessity of British guns and
gunpowder being called on to support Poland in
accordance with their own good King George the
Fourth’s and Lord Castlereagh’s guarantees, and in
confirmation of the wordy world of vows from . all
•John Bulls in'these days for Liberty everywhere—
except in their own dear England) her colonies , and
India,
Now mark Palmerston and Disraeli, How’
they compete in their'pictures of the impru
dence'of that honorable member; how vividly
they paint the danger of committing a second error
like that of “ drifting” -into the Crimean, war; in
short, how effectually that stupid, blundering in
dividual made it necessary for both leaders of the
House to smash that bubble for which they had pre
pared the basin, and pipes, and Boap, and that all
the wind of the Commons had inflated for the ad
miration of mankind iu the following- morning’s
Times newspaper.
That debate illustrated fully the insufferable, and
hence most dangerous , character of England’s
“ Moral Influence” in other nation’s affairs, and her
utter cowardice as anation, (or perhaps it should be
called Bound prudence, while her home diplomacy
has resulted in, rendering her-Bodependent on outside
nations for food,) in comparison with her readiness
to fight in support of her bond, right or wrong , in
years gone by.
Have we not a lesson written in plain words by
plain men'in that debate! And I will now call your
readeis’ attention to one other act in the history of
England, illustrated in the House oh the 12th of
March, oh iron clads—lron vs. Wood, &c. There
are jobbing speculators among our contractors, as
there are in all countries in time of war, but so.long
as such men in England as the Napiers, of.the Clyde,,
and Scott Bussell, of the Thames—men nursed-in
babyhood on steam pap from iron porringers, and
reared".in.‘a complete atmosphere of ships and,ship
ping surroundings—are held in leading strings,
by dilettanti West End noblemen, we have a fair
chance of holding our own in any naval w-arwith
Great Britain.
In the debate X allude to I find great reason to. be
lieve our clever, mechanics will have to oppose the
results of their.intelligence—not' the mind of Scott
Russell and the Napiers of England—but of Lord
Palmerston arid Lord Clarence Paget. The final
division involved a distinct issueas to .the honesty,
as well as mechanical capacity, of the ship-builders
vs. the theoretical opinions of the Lords.of the Ad- '
miralty; The' vote went 164 to-. 81. in. favor of the
Government men, although every practical member
connected with ships, that spoKe* had given evi
dence against the Admiralty plans. "While such
/wilful toadyism controls England,.we- have : little to
fear from her.

in consequence;of her inferiority caused by beiagan

this bill, the Speaker caused considerable sensation by
notifying, in a loud tone, all “gentlemennotentitleito

Mr. - "VINCENT, of Erie, arose and administered &
fcathing rebuke to the class of men known as “ bo
rers,’ 5 and who might be seen from day to day “button

some way might be provided to pat an end to these dis
graceful scenes..
Mr- SMITH, of Chester, said he had never before wit
nessed such impudence as had been exhibited here re
cently by * ‘ borers, ” who positively assailed and an
noyed members on the floor‘ CSensation.T The time
was when these men were , confined to the lobbies, but
now we find them within the very bar of the House—by
what authority he knew n-ot—teasing and annoying
members in their seats. •
, There was something wrong about this bill; of that he
was convinced, from the buzzing of ‘"borers” in its
