Despite of a vulgar title and a preponderance of
military narrative, sometimes nearly obscuring the
aotual story, “ The Bays of Shoddy; a Novel of the
Great Rebellion in 1601,” by Henry Morford, has
many claims to be read and liked as an original
work of fiction, In the actual story here told, there
are not,many characters, alad whatever mystery
come of them get involved in, is cleared up with no
ordinary skill at the close. The villain hero of the
talc is a certain Charles Holt, whose course, in pub
lic as a contractor, and in private aa “ a man of plea
sure,” is very fully traced. He is the centre of a
group, consisting on one side of Burtnett Havilaud
and his very pretty wife, and on the other of the
Fullerton family, from South Carolina, engro&singly
nourishing pro-slavery principles and prejudices.
More or. less connected with -this group are
Holt’s wile, a certain Ned Minthurne (the suitor of
Miss Bora, Fullerton) and bonny Kate Havlland,
BuitnetVs cousin, who iB a governess in the Fuller
ton family. .* Tim, the errand boy, is an original
. character, well developed, and Sarah Sanderson,
the servant, though a little exaggerated in her vil
lainy, is also well drawn. The endeavor of Holt to
seduce Mrs. Haviland, while her husband (hisclerkj
is on service sb one of Ellsworth’s New York Fire
Zouaves, is the main passion of the story, and this
is relieved by a pleasant underplot, in which Kate
Haviland and Edward Minthurne are principal per
formers. There is one episode* occupying most of
the second chapter, relating how the news of the
fall of Sumpter was received in a village, and how
a soldier of the Revolution and of the war of
1812, himself nearly a century old, broke his heart
at the news, in the very act of sharpening the sword
which he haa wielded against his country’s foes in
youth and manhood. The whole of this episode is
admirably told, and is doubly impressive because it
is told with the utmost simplicity of diction.
“ The Bays of Shoddy” is good, as a story—so far
as it goes. The author has greatly overlaid it with
accounts of enlistment, volunteering, inarching,
camp*life, and battle. In his previous novel of
“ Shoulder-Straps,” Mr. Morford dragged in an ac
count of the battle of Malvern Hills, whioh occupied
about sixty consecutive pages in the book, making
it a partisan history rather than a romanoe, Here,
there is not so muoh monopolizing of space, but
yet we cannot help wishing that he had wholly
omitted the military recital in the book, or only
touched on it. The story extends from the fall of
Sumpter to the battle of Bull Run. Burtfiett Havi
land, as we have said, becomes one of EHaworth’fl
Fire Zouaves, and shares the toils and perils of war
with his gallant comrades. The plot of the story
requires his absence from home, but we cannot see
why* because he ia a private in the Zouaves,
a novelist should relate, with the minuteness of
a newspaper “ special war correspondent,” every
thing that the Zouaves did in the first three months
of the war. This narrative interrupts the actual
Btory too much. Mr. Morford has not done himself
justice. He haa allowed himself too little space for
the development of his constructive power, which is
great. If he had touched on military matters only
so far as the action of his characters required, we
should have had a tale of unusual power. As it is,
“The Bays of Shoddy” is superior to " Shoulder-
Straps,” which has had a very great sale. If Mr.
Morford will write a novel in whioh he will avoid
introducing matter unconnected with the actual
plot, he will soon attain an unchallenged place high
among the beet romancists of the day.
The publishers have brought out this book in a
superior style. It is well printed on good paper, and
neatly bound. Moreover, it has, as frontispiece, a
portrait of the author finely engraved on steel. This
portrait, of a very well*looking man, nearly realizes
Miss Biddy Fudge’s description of her Parisian
beau:
” A fine sa-llow, sullima-sort of Werter faced man,
■With nioustachies tha t gave (what we read of so oft)
That dear Corsair expression, half savage, half soft.
As Hyenas in love may b>-fancied to lo >k» or
A something between Abelard and old Bln.ch.ar.”
, We have no.doubt that many will read the book,
to see what bo handsome a writer has to say.
Candidates before Councils.
“Is lie honest,ls he capable‘
To the Editor of Tfie Press :
. Sib : The above interrogatories address themselves
with peculiar force to the old and new members of
Council, of the u Union party,” who are to assume
the man agement of our municipal affairs on the first
of the coming year. The tax-payers and public at
large demand and expect that in the selection of per
sons to fill the various important offices of public
trust, the interests and welfare of Philadelphia
should be the governing principle, and that the ut
most care, caution, and scrutiny should ba exercised
by those whose sworn duty it will be to see to it
th it .AtSiP. tliiln -loraegf - ssea
choeen. This duty cannot toe shirked with impuuityj
for ae much .as it ie immediately under the vigilant
and searching eye of a people already overburdened
with taxation, and who, by their late verdict at the
polls, have unqualifiedly declared they will no longer
tolerate disloyal,ignorant, or corrupt offiae-holders.
Should these hints be disregarded, we warn mem
bers they willnot so readily escape the bitter cen
sure and just indignation of their constituents.
Let Councils, therefore, look to it, and rise supe
rior to all corrupt influences or combinations, come
from whatever quarter they may, and instead of al
lowing themselves to be dogged to their offices and
dwellings, and buttonholed from day to day injthe
public streets, by harpies who have neither honesty,
capacity, nor shame, spurn them from their presence
as unworthy their notice, orourtly admonish them to
seek some pursuit they are fit for, if indeed they are
fit for anything.
Often before have we alluded to the growing evil
in this community of placing in office incompetent
and unworthy men, and we shall continue to do so
whilst the slightest hope remains to cure it. But,
as a matter of sheer justice to the city, and to the
parties concerned, we take occasion to add here that
Councils, have several true, tried, and experienced
men before them, some of whom at least, if not All,
they should not hesitate: to select. In short, they
owe it to themselves, and especially to the city of
Philadelphia, to discriminate closely between
honesty and dishonesty, capacity and incapacity,
and to fill all the offices within their gift with those
only who are known to come fully up to this
standard.

A BBAuroitT (N. C.) correspondent of the Boston
Traveller mentions the following Incident: . . '
“A family of negroes, consisting of an old wo
man, nearly ninety years of age, her daughter, and
three grand-children, arrived at Fort Macon last
night, having escaped from Onslow Sunday night,
and walked nearly thirty miles. They said their
owner was so nearly starved himself that he could
not longer keep his slaves, and that he bad let out
the younger members who were able to work, while
the old and .feeble were in actual danger of death
from starvation. The poor old creature was so
nearly exhausted from her sufferings in getting
away that it is doubtful If she lives to realize the
idea she.has'so long coveted. The youngest was an
infant-at the breast, and had to be carried all the
weary way. They were kindly cared for by the offl-

LETTER FROM BISHOP BOSBCRANS.
Cincinnati, December 8, 1663.
My Dbar Sir : Of course I will give an autograph
letter for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission.
I could hardly refuse my right arm, If it could serve
those who mayhap have lost theirs in the struggle
lor national unity.
Fifteen j ears ago last March, I remember stand
ing on the deck of a little French steamer as she
wee gliding among the shipping into the port of
Genoa. I was leaning on the guard, gftzlng almost
.vacantly, now at the distant city lying white on the
mountain slope, and its background of snow-capped
crests, and again at the bewildering variety of
strange-looking vessels all aiouud. Suddenly, as
we pasted & gj&nt man-of-war, she ran up her colors
to greet the sunrise, and a thrill shot through my
heart as I saw the glory of the morning sunlight
stream upon our own u Stripes And Stars.” It was
an unexpected vision of home to me—of vast p r airies
ard long lines of railroads, great rivers, crowded
cities, green forests, smiling fields, friendly voices,
and loved faces, that took away all thought of the
strange land I was entering; and, as an explanatory
Italian at roy elbow remarked to his neighbor,
“The flag of the great Republic/' I would not have
exchanged my right to cay “that flag is mine,” for
the grandest of the tottering thrones of Europe.
This little circumstance 1 might have forgotten, or
recalled only to smile at my youthful enthusiasm, if
the political struggles of the country had continued,
during my lifetime, to be what they used to be, a
rquabole for places, under the shadow of the flag.
But the canncn aimed by the slave aristocracy at
Sumpter, in 1861, struck upon the chord-that had
slept for years, and when the flag was trailed in the
dust by those who had been so proßperous and too
favored under its protection, it flashed upon me, as
upon all the Northern people, that our wealth, our
vast resources, our prosperity and liberty, are no
thing, without our flag. So I heard the rallying cry
in cities and towns, and along the country roads,
and saw the march of men hurrying to defend their
own, with joy; and now, when the same men, but
changed by exposure, hunger, cold, disease, and
wounds, are in a condition to be benefited by me, I
batten with alacrity to their aid. They are the
pluck and hope of tben&tion. The meanest of them
is ennobled by the c*uee he fought for; and in sym •
p&tby with them, we honor tbe virtue by which
Alone liberty is deserved'and perpetuated.
Hoping that God will bless you with success, I
am, my dear sir, yours, very respectfully,
S. H. ROSEORAN3.

By this lime the report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
hes been-pretty well discus-sed; and its-principal fea

force by the-use of all the logic- of which he is master.
He clearly recounts h ! s reason for issuing no more paper
money, and-for dependingupon long loans for sufficient
funds to carry on the war Altogether, it is a masterly
report, and one which should;be, read and studied by
every oi e interested in the welfare of the country.
The markets were undisturbed by the Secretary’s report,
