“Sunshine in Thought,” by Charles Godfrey Ice
land, (published by O. T. Kvans, New York,,)haß th.e
excellent purpose of denouncing the morbid melan
choly and miserable affectation which Have increas
ingly crept over us oflate years. Mr;‘Belaud wishes
to encourage "cheerfulness and joyousnesa in every
phaae of literature and of practical life.” Scholars
■will enjoy this book more than general readers, for
it is crowded with references to ancient and foreign
literatfire. The second chapter, on the Ballad and
Legend of Sir Tannhccuser, is worth the price of the
book, ten times told over. The concluding chapter
is. ft mere rhapsody—fine sentences, without much
aeuse in them,
Those who have read a popular sensation story,
“Among the Pinos,” by Edmund Kirke, will be
jdeased with “My Southern Friends,” by the same
author. It iB so powerfully written as, at times, to
ariake its perusal even painful. It bears evident
marks of being drawn from life, but iB very highly
colored. It is impossible to deny this book the merit
of being extremely striking and graphic, (W. P.
Hazard, Philadelphia.)
A certain D. A. Mahony, whilom of lowa, hAs
prevailed upon Mr. Carlefcon, of New York, to pub
lish a meanly-printed volume of his entitled/'The
Prisoner of State.” 'lt treats dc omnibus rebus in
general and of Mahony’B confinement in the Old
Capitol prison in particular. The first 117 pages are
occupied with Mr. Mahony’s views of the Habeas
Coitus. Then follows a spun-out account of his ar
rest and transmission to Washington, concluding
with over one hundred pages about his fellow-pri
soners, with whom, especially “ Belie Boyd,” spy
and Secessionist, he seems to have tenderly sympa
thized. He corresponded with her through a hole in
the floor. The dedication to the Secretary of War
is insolent to a degree, and the whole toae of the
volume shows that the Southis the proper place for
its writer to retire to.-- Mr. Carleton his made a
mistake in publishing such a book. (Received from
T. B. Peterson &, Brothers.)
• The Harpers have reprinted, in a neat volume,’
wilb six engravings from designs by O. Keene and
E. K. Johnson, (noted English artists,) a very su
perior book for boys, written by John Gv Edgar,
And called “Sea-Kings and Naval Heroes.” It
contains twenty.one biographies of leading naval
heroes from Hollo the Norman and Hasting the
adopted Dane, in the tenth century, to Nelson and
Collingwood in the nineteenth, and is, in all re
spects, a very suitable book for young people, (J.
B. Lippincott & Co., and T. B. Peterson Brothers,
Philadelphia.)
The twenty-ninth Part of “ The Rebellion Re
cord,” ably edited by Frank Moore, has reached us
through Mr. J. K. Simons, 33 South Sixth street.
Its illustrations are portraits, engraved on steel, of
Generals Robert H, Milroy and W. S. Hancock
The record of the war is here brought down to the
Battle of Corinth, in October last. We have re
peatedly expresßdd a favorable opinion of the de
sign and execution of thia publication.
The late General 0. M. Mitchell, who was death-,
smitten at Beaufort, S. 0., in October, ; 1862, was
the greatest astronomer this country ever produced.
His works are “Planetary and Stellar Worlds,”
published in 1848; “Popular Astronomy,” in 1860,
and “The Astronomy of the- Bible,” which. Blake
man &. Mason, of New York,.have just issued. It
consists of seven lectures, delivered by the author,
in various places, ere war had drawn him into
active life. Their object was to showthat Astrono
my is in perfect harmony with Holy Writ. He does
this successfully, though, it must be said, rather
diffusely. The volume is rendered complete by a.
portrait and memoir of its learned and gallant au
thor.
• "William Wellß Brown, an intelligent coloredper
son, who had previoualy written a volume of foreign
travel, and two or three works of Action, has
brought out a small volume, entitled “ The Black
Man, his Antecedents, his Genius, and his Achieve
ments.” It contains his own autobiography, fol
lowed by fifty-three sketches of colored persona
who have in some.way distinguished themselves.
Some of these sketches are very slight, and credit,
"is sometimes claimed for very commonplace per
sons.; There is a sad want of arrangement here,
the sketches being placed neither in classified, alpha*
betical, nor chronological order. Mr. Brown as
serts that Euclid, Homer, and Plato were Ethio
pians, "and, therefore, negroes. This is begging the
question. Euclid was first heard of in Greece.
Homer has usually been claimed as a native of the
same country. Plato was born at Athens. The
horrible confession of Nat Turner does no credit to
this collection. Mr. Brown, himself a colored man
writes with ease, though not always with correct
ness. For example, it is ungrammatical to say of
John Sella Martin, “he has written considerable
for the press.” Mr. Brown shows, however, that
the negro race has produced "a few able and gifted
men. -

Petitions, Communications, Ac.
A communication was received from the Board of
Health askingnn additional appropriation of $3,000 for
the use of the Sanitary Committee in defraying expenses
to he.incurred in the treatment of small-pox cases. Re
fei red to the Committee on Health. ' ,
Mr. Cathi;kwooi> presented a remonstrance from citi
zens of tlie Ninth and Tenth wards against the erection of
a building for the storage of coal oil by the Pennsylvania
Salt Company. Referred to the Committee on Law.
v Reports of Committees.
The Committee on City Property reported an ordinance
appropriating $2,500 for the removal of ihe cocoons ofin
weets from the trees.in the public squares.
A discussion ensued upon the ordnance. Some of the
members contended.tliai the amount was too large, while
others argued that an immeme amouut of labor will* be
required to remove these insects, and every cent of the
amount reported by the committee will be necessary.
Mr. Krxu moved to amend by fixing the amount at
■$l,5CO. The amendment was voted down. :
Mr CATHKitwooD.moved to add a second, section, which
provides that tlie‘officers of police shall notify owners
and occupants of property within the built-up portions
of the city to.remove.the cocoons from ihe trees in front
of their premises Adopted. ■ -■
The bill was then passed.
Dr. Dhleu introduced an ordinance making an appro
priation of $2OO, to be expended under the direction of
Prof. JosephLeidy, for; the purpose of making experi
ments in determining a method of destroyingtneinsects
•upon the trees in the public squares of the city. The or
dnance.also authorizes Prof. Leidy to experiment on
an y trees which he may deem proper. It was adopted.
Ordinances lo Pmchasc City Railways.
The Committee on Railways reported two ordinances
/or the purchase of city passenger railways; one for the
Second, and Third-streets, and the other for the Fifth
acd Sixth-streets. The first-ordinance was read. It
was preceded by alengthypreamble, which recites the
acts of Assembly aud the ordinances of Councils,.in
which the right of the city to purchase the roads at their
original cost is resowed. The first section of the bill ap
propriates $198,033.92 for the purchase of the Second and
Third-streets Railway. The second section provides
that the Mayor shall, appoint a competent person to act
:tn conjunction with the Second aud Third-streets Pas
senger Railway Company, to value, the-cars belonging
to the companies.* The Mayor is then directed to reporc.
"the amount to Councils, that the necessary appropriation
.way he made. The third section authorizes the Mayor
to draw a warrant for the amount, when; in the opinion
■oftho City Solicitor, a proper ceed of conveyance is re
corded.
Mr. WuTHERJLii spoke at some length upon the bill.
He thought that the city would be a! large gainer by the
purchase of these roads. The Chestnut,and Wainut
sstref ts road cost $220,000. There are ten thousand shares
oi stock worth $6O each, which makes the value of the
road $600,000. Tne a mount paid in on the Second and
Third-street road is $500,000. The stock is seliing*ftt $BO.
Therefore, that road is worth $BOO,OOO .It coat $463,000,
and iftlie purchase is made a large profit will accrue to
4b o city, It was a question, however, whether it would
he right to take advantage of innocent stockholders,
ftoine of whom.have made their investments at high ;
rates; but these companies have'defied Councils, have
violated their charters, and had'totally ignored tlie City
Government. They are required to keep the stroets in
.•proper repair, hut did not, do so. When any.legislation.
3s wanted, they ignore Councils and go to, as they say, a
higher power. It was time, said Mr. W., that.Couocils
had asset ted their authority, and taught these companies
that the city has control of the streets, and that the ordi
nances must be respected. ' He did not wish to press the
matter this afternoon, and therefore moved that the bill
Joe postponed and printed. Agreed to.
The second ordinance wasfuvthe purcha-eof the Fifth
and feixth street road aud was worded similar to the
first. The amount appropriated i 3 Also or
dered to be printed.
It was stated tn the report of the committee, that the
Chestnut and Walnut-street Railway Company had ne
glected to file a statement in accordance with their char
ter, and therefore a resolution directing the City Solicitor
to institute proceedings to compel the company to file-the
statement required by the ordinance ot JnLy 7, 1857, was
reported. This resolution was adopted.
The Committee on Law reported an ordinance.appro
priating $12,400 to pay each of ihe assessors $2OO for ma-
KingHhe militia enrollment in 1862, which was passed.
Mr Giknodo, cl airman of the jommittee oh Street

A communication was received from the employees of
the Department of City Property, asking for an increase

Tothe President and Members of the Common Goun~
cilof the City of Philadelphia ;
Gkktlbmpx: Pwithho d my signature from the a«-
conipanyingbill, entitled An Ordinance to provide for
the care and management of the Penrose Ferry Bridge,
and because it authorizes the appointment ofmore watch-4
m*u for such bi*idge than tlienature of the service or the
public interest demands. . From information laid before

employed for its supervision when owned by tlie corpo
ration from whom it has recently,been purchased by the
city, although the receipt of toll was attended to by them
as v ell as the uauagement of the draw pertaining to the
bridge. Respectfully,

Another Soldier Gets Robbed
Sergeant Smith, having received a short furlough, in
order to visit York, where his family resides, ar
rived in Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon, and made
arrangements to stop over night at a public boarding-'
house somewhere on Dock street. He went to the thea
tre on Tuesday evening, 'and when he returned found
the house that he intended to lodge in closed for the
night, the lights being extinguished; ,- While walking
around, such as a stranger under tho circumstances
would do, ho met a party who said he could flud a place
in Waterstrett where he conld be accommodated. He
was conducted to a low den, where common thieves are
often seen. Of course, the soldier stranger was invited
to the hospitalities of the "hotsl;” his two friends
treated him; and games of cards were played. IflKvas
halfpast tbrse o’clock in the morniDg wheu the cirds
were thrown as‘de.: The two men left, and the soldier
desired to go to bed. The bar-tender told him that he
had only a couple of hours to sleep, and might recline in
a chair in a corner of the bar-room. “ Wiul.be safe in
such a position?” asked the soldier. ■_
“.Ob, certainly,. sir, perfectly t afe, ’’ raplied the bar
tender, as he fixed. a. couple of chairs for toe . sleepy
stranger. ,
He sat down, first assuring himself that his monev.
eighty dollars in treasury notes, wasjsafe in his pocket.
He closed his eyes, aud speedily became oblivious to
things of the world. At half-past five o’clock yesterday
morring, the bar-tender tapped him on the shoulder and
aroused him. Tlie soldier round his money had been ab
stracted from his pocket. He had placed himself under
theguardiausliip of the bar-tender, who had assured lum
be “perfectly safe.” He made complaint
against .him before Alderman White, and the suspected
individual was taken into custodv.and locked up for a
hearing, to take place this afternoon at six o’clock.
'i here is scarcely a night passes that some one or more
persons are not inveigled into some of .the low dens of
vice, mieeiT,] andcrimo in Water street, land robbed.
That thoroughfare ought to be shunned by all persons
who have money or valuables about them.

Benjamin Bowne,’a milkman, was put on trial yester
day, charged with having committed an assault and
battery on a boy, between eight and nine years of age.

AhOiHiE REMARKABLE CURB.
Philadelphia, March 3lst, 1963.
For the past three or four years my health lias been
gradually running down, and I for some time could not
understand the cause of it At first I was not miicli.
blarmed, but; as tims wore ou, my sufferings kept
getting worse. I began to losellesb, my natural color
lef* me, and appetite became very irregular. I ap
plied to Beveral;pbysicians,-but they did not seem to
•understand my disease, for I.kepi growing worse. I
was troubled with* palpitation of the bean, difilcutty of
breathing, oftentimes trembliag-of the-limbs, soreness
: in my throat, loss of memory, and great aversion-to
1 business and to-society. At limes I was very gloomy,
i and what caused me to feel w< rse was my inability to
I collect my thoughts vigorously on-any subject; suffered
■ much from swimming m the head, and much from fears
of getting iofcaDe, for my physicians had told methatl
had symptoms of fits; but, after persevering for a long
time in the old school remedies, and in the homoeopathic
also, I was informed my.case was beyond cui*e .
Seeing the advertisement of Proiß.itoA«&9 & GoMo>oo,ij
in Tim Press and Bulletin , I called on them at 1220 Wal
nut street, aiid, after conversing with them a few jni
' notes, they told me that they could cure me, and that,
without, throwing poisonous drugs into my system... This
to me was rather astonishing;-Ftill I believed it. for.£
had known some persons they had cured, wb o had been
worse than even I was. I commenced their treatment,
which is perfectly pleasant', and l am happy to say that,
hi nine treatments of about ten minutes each, I was 'per
fectly cv.r&i. This is astonishing to me, for I had given
up all bopts of being cared and of having my mind re
stored. In answer to rav convictions of duty to my suf
fenng Jeil.-w-men, I have made this statement or facts
in relation to my own wonderful cure; audlknowitis
permanent, for sufficient time has elapsed for a return;
therefore. I *eel certain. I shall take pleasure in being
referred to by any person or persons who rnay be suffer
ing as I was. ■ charles e. Buckingham,

BTKUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL. -
Prof. Bolleb— J)&<xy Sir .* As you'have frequently re
queswd me 10 give you my. opinion of the therapeutic
eflects of Electricity, when applied according to yoar dis
covery of ics physiological relations to the human sys-
Producing andcnring disease; and this being
the hrst favorable opportunity. I will giye you a brief
statement of m3'success since I closed my instructions
with you. and also my faith, in it as a remedial, agent,
tor the cure of all curable diseases At every step as I
have proceeded in the.practice, my astonishment has
been increased when witnessing its power in controlling
and curing all forms of disease. I can'hardly say to
•what class of disea-ea Electricity ia beat adapted—bat
think it adapted to all —but its power over Paralysis,
Consumption, Rheumatism, Acute or Chronic Neuralgia,
Bronchitis, Catanh, Asthma, Amauro>ip, Erysipelas
St. Vitus’ Dance, all Female Diseases, and all derange-'
meuts of the nervous system. The above diseases having
been treated by me since I took instruction from you. as
also many others; therefore I speak positively of its
powtfr to control without any medicine being given ac
cording to Allopathy or H; meopatky—cures ten to one of
all that other systems claim to cure.
