GRAY'S PATENT
MOLDED COLLARS
Have now been before the public for nearly a year.
They are universally pronounced the neatest and best
fitting collars extant.
The upper edge presents a perfect cure, free from the
eagles 'noticed in all other collars.
The cravat causes no puckers on the inside of the turn
down collar—they are AS SMOOTH INSIDE AS OUT
SIDE—and therefore perfectly free and easy to the neck.
The Garotfe Collar has a smooth and evenly-finished
edge on BOTH SIDES.
These Collars are not simply flat pieces of paper cut
in the form of a collar, but are MOULDED AND SHAPED
TO FIT THE NECK.
They are made in t'yovelty" (or turn-down style,)
In every half size from 12 to 17' inches, and in " Eu
reka" (or Garotte,) from 13 to 17 inches, and packed - in
solid sizes," in neat blue cartoons. containg 100 each:
also, iu smaller once of 10 each—the latter a. very handy
package for Travellers, Army and Navy Officers.
'- EVERY COLLAR is stamped:
"GRAY'S PATENT MOLDED COLLAR."

When it is remembered that, in modern times at
least, intellectual labor has produced abundant
fruits in 'times of war—as wiineSs the affluence of
literature in the troubled reign of queen Anne, and
during the frequent wars of the third George—no
men need be surprised at the vast increase here, since
our civil war commenced, of standard publications.
It would appear, indeed, as if a new generation of
readers had arisen, amid this groat strife, so much
increased is the number of good books: Lippincott -
.Ss Co., in this city, have contributed their share to
this improved literature, both in original and re
printed works. We purpose noticing sonic of these,
as far as the limited space of a daily journal will
permit.
Dr. J. M. Da Costa, Lecturer on Clinical Medicine
and Physician to. the Philadelphia Hospital, has,
contributed to the literature of his profession nn
Svo. volume (pp. GOO), entitled "Medical Diagno
sis, with Special Deference - to Practical Medi
cine ; a Guide to the Knowledge and Discrimina,
tion of Diseases.'? Rarely has a title page so Roca
rately stated whet the reader Joey expect in the
book. The author's purpose is to show students and
practitioners of the healing art bow to discriminate
diseases. When the nature of the ailment has been
ascertained, the curative process may be said to
Lave been thereby begun. Here the morbid stater
of the body are grouped according to their marked,
symptomS, general laws and their most notable ex4"4.
ceptions being treated generally. Besides Modica, :
Diagnosis, the author considers the prognosis Or Yn
Clividnal affections., when he could do so withodt
running into too great length. The volume LS en ,
riche(' with numerous original illustrations, en•
graved on wood by Mr. Wilhelm, to whom, and alse
to Dr. Packard, the author• acknowledges ills obligt“
tions. The excellent double-column index, of seven
teen pages, is chiefly the friendly labor of Dr:
Diehard Dunglison. We have seldom seen a mc:: -
dical book so elegantly printed. Of its merit wd
need only say that it supplies, very ably, It desidc=
return in medical literature.
The first volume of ‘.A. Treatise on Dower, by
Charles H. Scribner," belongs to another profes,
sion. The author, who dates from Mount Vernon,
Ohio, has undertaken a work of infinite laber—
namely, to embody. the material provisions of the
legislation of thirty-four different States on the
snhject of Dower, and to collate the various judicial
decisions relating to that subject. He states, in a
very modest introduction, that there is not itny ele
mentary work treating, in- an extended form, upon
the American Law of Dower, and the English
treatise of Mr. Park, republished here nearly thirty
years ago, is the only treatise extant which goes
fully into the subject. The work will consist of two
volumes, and the first s now under. our notice, has a
eopiousindes. The treatise is what it profesSes to
be and more.
"The Federalist," in an octavo - volume of 810
pages, edited by John C. Hamilton, son of the well
known statesman who wrote the greater part of it.,
must find its way into every public and private
library 'of importance in the Union. The editor
opens - it with an historical notice of the events
which led to the production of this work; appends
various documents bearing on: those events,:
and shows, very fairly, in what proportions the
authorship of "The Federalist" belongs to'Alex
ander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
This Introduction has a few phrases which ought to
have been excised : "The ,distinguished perion,
Guizot, remarks," is a clumsy sentence ; "in the
words of the friend of Cromwell, the immortal pen-.
man," may be, taken to declare that Cremwell him
self was the immortal writer, and the word "pen
man" Means rather a transcribing clerk than an
author ;- the' use of the word "'loaned," instead of
lent, is, also ot doubtful value. Several pag - es . of
collated texts, "The Continentalist" and : other
papers, and "Philo Publics," by. William Deer, are
appended; a full index makes the book complete
and its branches of subject accessible, and a portrait,
of Hamilton, from the bust in our Academy of the'
FirM Arts, is a suitable frontispiece.
"The Book of Days, ,, published simultaneously
here by Lippincott & Co., and by W. SR. Chambers, _
Edinburgh, is now concluded, forming two
tieent volumes imperial Bvo., with very many wood
engravings well executed and well printed. 'A most-
abundant index, occupying between fifty and sixty
pages, renders "The Book of Days" one of the best
books of reference ever published. There is col ,,
leeted, in these two volumes, much more instructive;
and amusing reading matter than ever before was,
put into any work of a sithilar extent.
One of Mr. LippincoWs reprints, superior to the
London edition and not half its price, is Mr,- Edward
Mayhew's splendid octavo, with numerous fine
wood-engravings, "The Illustrated Horse Manage
ment;" a cyclopredia, in fact, upon every subject
connected with the horse, including comments on
grooms, dealers, breeders,- breakers,- trainers, car
riages, and harness. This is a coeipleinent to "The
Illustrated Horse Doctor," also by Mr. Mayhew,
published sonic time ago by Messrs. Lippincott.
But whereas the first book was chiefly intended for
the veterinary surgeon, the- present volume is for
all readers, being full of information -on till points
in which the horse is concerned, and being at once
lively and wise, practical and anecdotal. Moreover,
it has a full index.
It would-gratify us to be able to speak well
"First and Last, a Poem intended to illustrate the
ways of God to man," which bears the Li.pineett
imprint, and is beautifully printed, yet we :cannot
but think it waste of thought and time feebly to at ,
tempt relating the Pall of Man, which Milton had
already given us in " Paradise Lost," Of a, smaller
Volume, "Jenny Wade of Gettysburg," we have to
say that the design is better than the eeetition.
Lastly, we have a small 12mo, volume, tastefully
got up, entitled "Notes on Hospital Life, from No
vember, 15. W., to August, 1803." It needed not a
Penvoi from Bishop Potter to tell us that "the lime
Italian hantl," and tender, yet brave spirit of a
woman, are in this little-book. She conceals her
name, and, therefore, *o shall not disclose it. Her
book:will rank among the better productions of our
war -literature, It is the result of two years' Self
devotedness, in the hospitals; to suffering humanity.
The author journalized what she saw, and has here
given the world a part of it—ending with GettYs
burg, last July. She had much to tell—this
Flo
rence Nightingale of ours—and tells it truly,
touchingly, and without pretence.

THE NEW BOMBARDMENT OF THE CHARLESTON
The renewed siege of Sumpter still continues. My

of the thirteenth. On the mousing of the fourteenth
the sun rose in a cloudless heavens., the gale had
spent its force and abated, the breakers dashed with
less fury upon the bar and the beach, out at sea the
swelling of the waves was long and gentle, and ap
pearances assured us that old Neptune was lulling
his child to sleep,: whilst. the reign of a, brilliant
Southern sun was soon to commence on the land.
As the weather this spring had been mostly of a
cold, chilling character, this change received a

Sumpter, and four monitors spent ;the night as
pickets at the front. As day daWned the monitors
drew off, but : at en early hour, Putnam 'and Gregg
were at work demolishing,' with almost unerring-
aim, the northeast corner or Sumpter. About nine
o'clock a Monitor, in its slow, dull, meek, and sleepy
style, connatetced creeping up to the front,. But
it was soon in position and at work. It was shortly
joined by another. Their tire was remarkably accu
rate and the effects of their, ponderous 15-inch iron
globes were considerable. Immediately the Sulli

along- the beach, opened a terrific fire upon : these
monitors. At times these plunging shot Made the
sea boil all around them, whilst :heavy columns rot'

To all this the monitors paid no regard, but kept
,up a rapid and effectual fire upon Sumpter, Matters
On all shies remained in about this position till 12
M., when a pause ensued, but not of long continu
ance. It is evident the rebels are convinced that
there Was more serious earnestness in' this assault
than they at first apprehended. If they :supposed
we were indulging in a, feint to draw forces from
Virginia, they must be convinced to the contrary
by this time. During the afternOOn of the 14th, from
a high watch-tower; I marked, during Some heurs,
the progress of the battle. I think .we had . a full
development of the rebel strength on all sides of us.
Not lbss than fifty guns were worked to their ut
most, capacity. At times, a dozen cannon balls or
shell could be heard screaming through the air at:
the same moment. The rapid explosion of shell
was often like the sharp and incessant peals of
ththider in the heavens. The tire of : the
enemy was very accurate. The Morris island,bat
dories devoted their attention mostly to PutnaM
and Chatfield. Shell were exploded over and all
around. our guns and gunners, but, strange as it
may seem, not a man was hurt. A mortar-bed was
torn to pieces, and a shell went into the muzzle of
one our guns, then exploded, splitting it into
many pieces. No, further damage was reported.
The monitors were struck each about eighteen
times; but no ditmage was done to either of them.
They were in the harbor long enough to have gone
the entire length of - the-harbor and returned again.
Neither in inokinvSuch a circuit would they hare

the rebels brought one gun to bear upon the channel,
and richocheited a number of solid shot across the

Certain points, anticipating the ingress of our nary
to . the harbor. They also exploded shell about
Sumpter, evidently In anticipation of our ocenPY7

emergency. , . . ,

With our powerful glanses, it could 'be seen that
the appear:moo of Slttepter had considernbly
chnnged;during the two days , bombardment. Still,
there Is a huge mass of rubbish to be removed. It.
would be better could we have gained our present
position without firing a shot at the fort. As It Is, the
demolition was commenced at the tap, and acres of
rubbish hare fallen around the base, alfording ample
protection to the wall. Were the firing now to
commence, the base of the fort could be knocked to
pieces, and then, or course, the walls would fall or
their own weight., As the sun went down the tiring
on both sides ceased, and the monitors withdrew,
SUNDAY, TIIHISTr.
A day more lovelysearcely ever dawned upon man
outside of Paradise. As if I ts'sacrcdness and solem
nities had taken possession of the heartsof the bellige
rents, It passed, and I did not see the Smoke nor hear
the report of a gun. The war spirit, as if wearied,
seemed to have left the field, and chaplains had
things their own way. Lot it be put on record that,
for once, Mars, the war god, remembered the Sab
bath of the Lord of Peace. Monday came, and all
was changed.
The Monitors Nahant and,Sangamon were early
in position and at work. The shore batteries, as
usual, opened their accurate and furious lire. It
is evident, the Sabbath was not a day of rest
with the enemy, for in Moultrie and other batte
ries new guns of a different sort had been got
Kato position. Navy men say they were eight-inch
rifled, that Its, two-hundred-pounders. The rebel
batteries in all directions were worked with great
skill and diligence, and nothing bittthe presence of
the Ironsides as a participant in the fray was want
ed to make this the most terrible cannonading that
the Charleston harbor ever witnessed. Perhap s

two hours poured their Concentrated storm of lion

Saturday afternoon, that of Monday morning far

judge the monitors were hit somewhero as often as

them nun - 0 out of that hell.. I learn since that the-

injured. Ile may not lie fit for duty Or some time.
What the next step in the siege will be it is difficult
to say. All eyes are upon Virginia and Georgia.
The Arego passed down last evening, and, through
the politeness of naval officers, we received dates to
the 12th, end are all the more anxious for additional
intelligence. Ours is a tearful joy.
To-day we have been visited with quite a hail
storm. The ground was nearly white with the ice
pebbles, and: the colored people say it must have
been very damaging to the cotton and corn crops.
There is considerable cannonading to-day, but re

A 4, 111(4/mond Prisoner
To the Editor of The Press:
Siu : 1 enclose to you two photographic pictures
of one of those unfortunate soldiers of the Union
who have been in the rebel prisons at and near
Richmond. You noticed in your paper of the 16th
inst. that Mr. George Birch, of this city, was in
posse'ssion of some similar pictures, and I, - alSo, was
the recipient of a few from one of the United States
hospitals at•AntSapolis.
- The exhibition of these records of rebel treatment
of our soldiers has Moved the feeling of all 'who
have seen them in no small degree. And the im
mediate supposition of those who look upon the
gaunt, and frightfully attenuated, forms, as de
lineated by the photographs, is that some `fearful
malady must hare been at work on the physical
frames Of the unhappyeriginals. NoW the object of
this my communication to your journal is to state
something of what I saw and heard at a recent visit
to United States'Hospital, division No. 1, Annapolis,
1114., es well as to make a few, very few, correlative
remarks. To this hospital our returned prisoners
are brought in numbers, by steamboat, as we often
have seen detailed in the newspapers. We have
read accounts of their condition ; we-have deemed
such horrors as have been laid before us to be ex
aggerations, and to satisfy myself on this subject,
I asked permission of- Dr. Vanderkieft, the surgeon
in charge, to look and -inquire for Myself, and by
myself, among his patients. This courtesy was
granted me by that most accomplished and devoted
officer. He desired me also to ascertain whether
his patients were satisfied with the arrangements
made for:their comfort and well being.
I saw one young, man who had Leen a prisoner
in the bands of the rebels for (I think) seven months.
He had been released about a month before I saw
him. Upon his entrance into the hospital, the nurse
and the surgeon both assured me that his forearm
was so thin that: it was transparent between the
bones when held up to the sunlight. Certain It is
that. I have never seen a more emaciated human
form, whether alive or dead, and yet he said that he
was gaining . flesh and strength every day! What
must he have been one month before I saw him I
i'or atthis tinehe could not change his position in
bed without assistance. -
His stomach was in Such condition from starva
tion,. not from disease, that when he ;was first ad
mitted he was fed on milk, a teaspoonful every
fifteen or twenty minutes. It was 'all that he could
hear without vomiting. The kind and earnest
efforts put forth day and night in his behalf failed
to do more than support, him fora. time. He died
shortly after I left Annapolis—died of inanition.
The surgeon told me, on the 19th inst., that of one
hundred returned prisoners whom he had received
in bad condition per steamer New York, on the 2d
inst., thirty had died from neglect, starvation, and
cruel treatment while in the hands of the rebels."
I saw the sufferers of every degree, from those that
feebly moved their weakened frames about the beau
tiful grounds of the hospital, or walked across the
floor of the wards supported by their comrades, to
those who were confined to bed entirely. The state
ments made to me by several of these patients, who
had been in differentarms of the service, who had
been captured and released at different times, who
had no communication with each other in the hospi
tal, and who, consequently, could not have colluded
together to make any representation : true or fiolse,
is, in short. terms, as follows: Their overcoats and
blankets were taken away, they slept on the floor of
the prison without bed or covering, or on the
ground without shelter, at Belle. Isle. In some
cases, a Minority only, they had shelter tents,
or ragged pieces of the same to sleep under. Their
daily ration was a piece of corn bread made of un
bolted corn meal, some of which I saw—the piece
was (0) five inches lonz, (4) four inches wide, and
(130 one inch and a half thiek.l.ln addition, theyhad
(2) two ounces of meat on an average (3) three times
a week ;-some more, some. less frequently, but the
sic of the meat was always the same. Under the
combined efiects of bad and deficient food, their
"stomach gave out,° then came indizestion, loss of
appetite, nausea, weakness, then diarrhoea, and
often congestion of the lungs of atonic character,
the result of
_impoverished blood and deficient
powers of circulation. So they = suffer, and hence
they die, or are returned to the care of those for
whom, for whose country, for whose honor, as for
themselves and their own, they have been thus
sorely afflicted.
I now quote from the lips of two of those with
whom I conversed:
Ist. Private Jackson Broshers, aged 20 years, six
feet one inch high, Conipany D, 65th Indiana
Mounted Infantry. "I was captured Dec. 16, IS6a;
was two months on. Belle Isle ; L had a piece of
tent full of holes to sleep under; had half of a hair
coat for my bed ; it was given to me by the zeard ;
that was all I had to keep me off the ground ; the
water came in through the piece of tent that was
over me ; and wet me through; the rebels took away
my hat and cap and gave me an old jeans hat; they
took my gum blanket, two wool blankets, and over
; I had meat three dines while on Belle Isle;
no more ; I was hungry all The time for about two
months ; I had no food but corn :bread" (of the
size referred to above). "I got thinner and
weaker ever.); day, until my stomach gave out in
two months. Then I lost my appetite, and then the
weakness came, oh, so bad, so bad! Weil, I had to
eat My corn bread, or die ; so I nibbled a little now
and then, and chewed it up, and got some down, but
it sickened me, and then came the diarrheea. My
weight was 175 pounds when I joined the army,
two years ‘ ano, and I got a good deal heavier and
stronger, for I was never sick in the army. I might
have weighed 185 pounds when I was captured.
have been getting stronger and heavier ever since I
came into this hospital, on the 24th of March, 1564."
I carried this man down stairs in my arms, for he
could not walk Without support, and I weighed him
May 1J ; his Weight was 1.0614, pounds. it is his
ture that I send you. lt was taken by my direction
and in my presence.
20. Corporal (I suppress the name lest this
might meet his mother's eye).—" I was captured in
* 4 eptember ; 1665 ; was on-Bello isle only six days ;
I had no shelter there ; it rained two or three days
while I was there ; I-laid in the dew and frost, and
suffered with cold, for the rebels had taken away
my oil-cloth and blanket, and I had no Covering at
all ; I had small-pox in prison in December ; I had
summer clothes on when I was captured, and wore
them all the tiMeright through the small-pox';
when I got well of the small-pox I crashed my
clothes ; I came in here; in the saute clothes, on the
20 of May."
This poor fellow was so shriVelled that his face
looked like that of an ape. It was seamed and
wrinkled and in folds. I had his picture taken ; he
asked me for one ; I promised it to him, and inqUired
what he wanted it for. He trembltid, choked with
emotion,:celmed himself, again quivered, and, as
the tears gushed --from his :eyes, said, ,4 To send it
home to my mother." I rejoiced when I found that
the picture was a. failure; for a - sight of that face in
a picture, l really believe, might have killed his ma.;
tiler, or turned her brain:
The - pictures which Mr. Birch- has, and which I
receiVed, are from among the worst cases of the 100,
Who came ,in bad condition" on the 2d inst. to the
hospital. The men Broshers is its fair average con
dition of a very large number of that unfortunate
one-hundred.
The faces of these starved 111011 all preient
stram,-,e look of- sad solemnity, They are of a sort
t , putty color,' Their_ powers of assimilation and
nutrition are so mach impaired that, in spite Of the
Lest care and food, with all needful stimulation,
and tonic treatment- at large, their recoveries are
.qow and uncertain, when death is wariled Off.

Militory Personal Matters
A long obituary of Gen. J. H. B. Stuart, In the

of the dying, hours of ono whora the rebels call "the
dower of cavaliers' On Thursday night week
Stuart breathed his last. During: his dying mo

to his couriers, - with a last injunction to
haste.' About noon Thursday President Davis visi
ted his bedside, and spent some fifteen minutes In
the dying - chamber of his favorite chieftain. The
President, taking his hand, said: General, how do
you feel'?" Easy, but willing
to'dle if God and my
country think I have fulfilled my destiny and done
my duty.' To the doctor, who sat holding his wrist
and counting the fleeting, weakening pulse, he re
marked, 'Doctor, I suppose lam going fest now.
It will soon be Oyer ; but God's will be done. .I hope
I have fulfilled my duty to my country, and my duty
to my God.' To Mrs. Gen. R. E.-Lee lie directed
that the golden spurs be given as a dying memento
°flits love and esteem of her husband. To his staff
officers lie gave his horSes. So particular was he in
small things, even in the dying hour, that he em
phatically exhibited and Ilhistrated the ruling pas

heavy-built man, he said : You had better take-the

costly and elegant pistols, by his many friends. in
New York. In handing the pistols to the Com

the other led his noble band into the rains of Fort

and now languishes in a dreary Southern prison.
'ln the course of his reply Commander Meade said:
" In this hourofperil to our beloved country—at a
time when she requires the energy and zealous love of
all her sons—l have been restless and uneasy on board
the North Carolina ; yet, ever, with all my heart and
with all proper pride, strictly and steadily obedient
to orders. The more active duty of my profession at
sea was more to my taste and more suited to my na
ture and inclination, and, after years of service and
long years of disappointment, it had been the wish
of my heart to be permitted to share with my brother
otliceis—most of them my juniors—the perils of ac
tual warfare; but my dream was not realized, and
I was called on to perform a more peaceful duty."

Gold fluctuated yesterday hetweenlS3Y, and lB4#, the
extremes representing the opening and closing price.•
The market was firm throughout the day, and there
were but' few sellers offering. There are all sorts of
schemes proposed by the newspapers in various parts
of the country to keep down the premium on gold, hits
none of which, however, appear to be very practicable.
The large issues of paper currency rendered necessary
by the operations of war are, of course, the primary
cause of the appreciation of gold, and an long as - it is a
necessity with the Secretary of the Treasury to issue the
greenback cure licy in order to keep the wheels of Go
vernment in motion, the premium on gold will main-.
Lain its high figure. Every intimation of such a

great effect. If this were Om sole cane of the rise in.

which it imploses. But the far more potent agent In the
busi lICHS in the reckless gambling which sooner or later
must be punished by the National Laws.' Besides, our
people must deterznine to deprive thernrelves of nimuy of
the European luxuries which are so dearly paid for in
American gold.

Mr. George W. Helves, of the firm of Helves & Rehm,
was yesterday elected a member of the Philadelphia
Board of Brokers.
The steamship Hecla, for Liverpool from New York,
on Wednesday, took out Fidf15,51. 1 1) in specie.
The - whole number of national banks authorized to the
21st inst. was four bur dred and thirty-dye, with an ag
grerate capital of ii . s7/7,0-10,2W.
The new six per cent. interest-bearing Treasury notes
which the Government proposed to issue, if necessity
requires, 1611 not innate the currency, but will simply
absorb the five per cent. notes which are now on tstarid
ing,, and will be hoarded by these into whose hands they
may fall for the interest. They will be legal tenders
for their face, but they will not be likely to be offered
as such after six months' interest has accumulated upon
them. The compound interest on one hundred dollars
at the expiration of three years, when the note is
payable, will amount to about nineteen dollars and
forty cents.
For the issuer circulation of the country, the large ex
tent of which is used as an argument by the bulls in the
geld market to further their own ends,"the State banks
are more responsible titan the Government. Mr. Chase
has upon every available occasion - called attention -to
the State bank circulation, and has urged, from- time to
time, such taxation as - would drive it out of existence,
and thus save the country from the effects of a redun
dant currency. The circidation of all the New England
Slates; according to the bank reports made to Congress
on the Ist el January each year, compare as follows :
