Eng Mil and American Booksellers.
A pretty little libel on the American
book publishers has appeared in a London
periodical called The Bookseller, and ,it
may be worth while to notice and refute it:
Miss BnAnnox, as all novel readers
- know, is a writer of "sensation" : ro-
mances t such as "Lady Audley's Secret,"
"Aurora Floyd, 4 .Jobn llarehmont's.

the wbll:Conducted people, their victims, .
arc fools or greenhorns. Miss MUDD= is
.b.Ow the, leading sensation novelist of the
' day. ...A few years 'ago, however, she was
unknown, • unhonored, and uncared for— .

Miss'PkitAnnoxiliatuntlly enough, : wished
to make the niost of. her wares, and
Joins AllswELL, .her ."publisher, (who is
also her .husband,) 'Wits at; hind to help
her. Accordingly, "The .:Oucast". was
newly printed in three iolumes it a guinea
and a half, and largelyadvertised as " Miss
]Manna ac's' NOW I& due time it
came.before the publie; introduced by the
Prßli..m4io7, ll 2inglerieo, i*
'news-

ries hrid•pirchaled:" unprecedentedly large
numbers of "the book,. the public inquiry .
for early Copies. of .whicli.bas lid no pa
valid amongst recent .Wcirks fiction,'.!.
This last was rather a bold assertion, seeing: .
that,'ef.a Latory by picxnxs, 40,000 copies
had- . been . .. sold- in two 'Attys. The- old
novel, to Which the:neknarne of
Dunbar" war - given;:wakient fpr.royiew
to the At4enaltm, a LondOn literaryjOurnal
of great Oirculation: On the 21cit :May ; re
viewing ' the book, the . 2117isaisum- said,
" Publication of a new' Itcri;el . by Miss .
Bnannoil. seems to 'tang, as 'u nratter •of
coarse, a renewal. of -tbe,.olcl . putling..2 We
take the liberty of telli ng all the par-:
ties concerned that the thing is overdone.
People are growing suspicious of books ,
which begin—as far as they can see—with ,
.a second edition.' . '. In fact, except the
.original appearance in the .pennf paper,
there' seems to have been no first edition
whativir. The publisher boldly 'started,
e fitiiPeet, , With a 'second edition!
• The Athenalan, with all its sharpness, was
some time 'before it discolerod that the new
"-Henry Dunbar" was the odd " Outcast."
The storywas that oft convicted forger, who •
had served out his penal time in - the Anti
nodes; ; meeting his old mas-'
ter jug, comeback from India ; murdering
him.; 'taking'.: possession of his wardrobe,
iewOrY, And Papers ; • Rassing himself off
as the •dead — ruillionaire. ; finally detected,'
and escaping; to die, at last, in a charming
;village on the English coast, wrespeetable
gray-kailed man and constant church
goer, " very sorry for what ,he had done."
The moral, that,simple sorrowlor " murder
and robbery atoned for :both, is worthy of
the other improbabilities of the tale.
ert .
Ten days after the first notice in the
.
:14th" - aims the fourth edition of," Henry
Prinbar " was . advertised' in the London
papers, and We believe that a sixth edition,
itt:nOtv annoi teed. good deal de-
perids upon the nuMber in each issue. Of
Misa EvArs's the . FlOss,". the first . .
edition consisted.of 3,000 copies. We be
lieVethat of "The Caxtons," "My No
vel," and "What Will Re: do . with It,"
although each had preViously ...appeared,
piecemeal,. in Blackwood, the2first, edition
consisted of 4,000 copies, and . -litc.wrs's'
new serial had sale, to start With, of 40,-
000. -Such things have been done as
printing a thousand copies,. putting a new
title page to every 'hundred of them, . and.
thus making the last hundred count'as • the
tenth edition.
The Bookseller, cohnnenting on the , puff
preliminary by which. it' . `was sought to
draw
,special . attention to ." 4enry Dun
bar," declared that the practice dates from
•an earlier period than the present an:
stance of the Cdition' t puff will be readily*
called .to mind on the publication of a cele
brated letter .by a bishop of .controversial
fame, when the sixth edition Was said half
an-bour after the publication of the first."
Of- course, this , is an. English. extunple. But
the *titer adds "The practice is a had elle;
it appears to have had its origin in America,
and the infection has been caught by those
who have had much to do with American
novels."
IL is on this point that we join issue with
The Bookseller. -
The . system of book-pulling originated,*
more tha4 forty years ago, with HENRY
CoLnunrc, a noted London publisher of
"fashionable.novels"' no " and Other flashy
works. As far back as May, 1828, Mack:
wood's Afa:qazine' freely and strongly de
nounced the practice, treated it,' with no,
measured words, in tlie "Noctes,'? and again
condemned it, in 1886 and 1841; Conside
ing that, in 1822; When COnturti cons ; ,
menced the pulDsystem, the only American .
novels then publishing were Coorttnis,Nur;-
Drica'.s, and fon NEAL'S, who certainly
were not puffed by bOoksellers or critics,
we cannot admit that the puff-system "
its origin in America." Mr. COLnunx made
himself so notorious by his announce
ments of
. the rank of his writers, the im
mense sums he paid them, •the extraordi
nary snip of their books, that there actually
was published, in London, when his' sys
tem was in full operatiOn, a satirical poem;
entitled "The Puffiad," in Whiely Con - Jai:MN
figured as the hero. • •
At the same time, let us confess that,
in later times, sonic American publishers
have out-Colburned UcimsußN. Many
recent book announcements, particular
ly of works of fiction, are . outrageous
puffs, and "lying like an advertisement
May safely. be substituted in such cases for
"lying .like a .bUlletin." There is• small
excuse:for. it. here, seeing that the honest
do mania for hookS, and especially for Works
of imagination, is very much greater than
PBILADELPHIA, :THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1864.
in England. This is easily accounted for
—our books arc considerably cheaper, and.
the number of readers is immensely larger
than iu England. • • -

following:
As the raiders advance upon their line of eon
templated operations, and become hourly further
removed from us, we hear less of their movements.
There is no doubt that they contemplated. the

Ow cavalry, who went in pursuit, laliored . under
serious disadvantage. The raiders, having 'the
start., stole all the fresh horseS they could Bud,
while our men were compelled to do the best they
could with the horses upon which they started. We
are pleased to hear, however, that the thieves and
hotiso. burners have not been allowed to go. thus
far altogether unpunished. Ouz Ibrcos, by great,

o'clock until dark, when night closed tho con.,

retreated under the cover of darkue.?s. Wo wore
greatly outnumbered and short of ammunition,
but these inequalities were made up for by a con-

we hear that the enemy gained the advantage, and
had possession of three pleces.of: artillery, but-Cot.
Barring.er's gallant North. Carolinians, aided by a
few coMpanies of Virginians, under - Gen. Dearing,
proved equal to the emergency, and by.a bold charge
rescued the pieces. We killed and wounded a large
number of tire enemy, if prisoners taken. are to be
believed, and captured thirty-four, all of whom have
been received in Petersburg. They represent the 3d

The raiders stole -a large quantity of bacon in
their route. One of their wagons was filled to over

Ford's - depot picked up fourteen hams after the
vandals passed, which had jostled out.
We understand from a gentleman,who came down
from Nottoway last evenur- that The enemy select
about twenty-five hundred of their best men, who
remain behind to do the fighting, while the remain

ever, that the Alabama Was •ie • . and at once low
ered two beide to to hernia, and, in effect, the
vessel Sauk betbre she had proceeded a dozen lens
toward the harbor. The ocarsargees boats picked
up sixty-eight persons, of whom fourteen were
woutdett, and of whom three died. The others were
picked up by the Englisli.yacht, Captain Lancaster,
and landed at Southampton. The Kearsarge
steamed at once into the.portef Cherbourg with her
prisoners...•
And now. here arise two Important questions.
One relates to the prisoners brought hatoCherbourg,
and the-other to-those carried into Soutiaarupton.
The prisoners brought into. Cherbourg, many of
whom are Frenchmen, demanded to be paroled, and
Captain Winslow, who, was crowded' for room, also
desired to know of the ArneOfran Minister if ho
could not parole them,- Mr. Payton„telegraphed to
his son and to eaptain.NVins‘ow tr , .W. , the prisoners
could not be paroled, and that the must be held
till the St. Louis arrived, and-then conveyed to the
United States. ,
In regard to Captain ,Semmes and the other
prisoners carried into Setithalpton, Captain Wins
low claims them as his prisoners, and Mt. Dayton
haaadelsed Mr. Adams to demand their rendition.
Captain Winslow had-ample -time ••and- moans to
pick Tip all the officersand men of the Alabama, but
the boats of tho English yacht ran in and actually
stole them away, as if acting upon a prearranged
plan, thus constituting it a cleat ease interren
tion. Captain Semmes and party did not therefore
escape. 'I hey wore stolen away by a party who; was
Indirectly Interfering in the tight. %There waB no
wish ou the part of Captain Winslow to see Captain
Semmes drowned. • On tho'contraey;he would hero
SOOT' taken up Simples' boat-load himself.
Bete let me place a reflection. Is It not strange
that at her birth and her death, and all through the
course of her short existence, whenever the Alabama
needed help there was always an Englishman there
to renderitt She was constricted by Englishmen
In an English port;.she was taken to Sea, armed,
equipped, and started on her career of pillage and•
devastation by Englishmen • she was fed,•harnored,
petted, and protected iri Eng lish ports y and finally,
when she arrireral the la sttragic scene in her de
structive esistenee, there stops in um Englishman to
steal away her Captain and officers! • . • •
The.lttonf/cor and other secession sheets •say that
the contest was unequal.one, aud this in the face
.ot• the boast or Laird and other born Natio English
ship-builders, thatthe Alabama could either whip
or outrun the Kear sarge , . and that Captain' Semmes •
demanded nothing better_thon'a trial of thu qua
lities of 'the two boate. The facts . 6.re, that the
Reemerge could both entree- her and whip her.
An officer of the • Rearsarge •said, here the other
day, that if they could get.sighe opthe Alabama
in the morning, no .matter at`y - w,,hat dittaaco,
he-was sure that they could chielther and sink

These ore the questions which have. already boon
warmly canvassed, and which will, now that the
Alabama's race is run, again be eagerly ventilated.
Either as regards the Alabama's origin or her sub
sequent career, there • IS, however, but • one opinion

hal this country is not responsible for her
departurefront our ports is evidenced by the fact that
in the similar Case of the Alexandra the Government'
failed to establish their right to detain the vessel, and,
therefore; *Seizure of the Altthama,liad it takenpiace,
would have been an illegal act.

fLossion Correspondence of tho Herald.)'
The sinking of the Alabama has been the theme
of every tongue and the gossip of every coterie.
Captain Semmes Is the hero 01 tho hour. As one of
'the tlatly-paphrs expressed it, "he is the guest of
England." ~ A nd before ho hod been on shore forty
eight hours arrangements were =dolor furnishing
• him another Ship, more strift end poWerful than the
ill-feted. craft that has just met such a righteous
retribution in 'Cherbourg bay. A gentleman told me
yesterdhy he hod sent: the steamer that teas now fitting
out for Captain Semmes here in the Thames;.and he
added that she would be put under his command in suck
a wily that.the'COVerntnent could n ot possibly interfere.
I believe overyword of this Is true.

_ . ...
A gentleman acquitintaaco. had a long con
venation with UM Second OAlcerof the Alabama, and
ho gaft him these •particulars;The arrangement
was' made at Cherbourg' with the 'captain of the
vela-Deerhound to go out and , witness thellikht,
and reseas,Bortuuos It he,wore defeated. The 'officer
'ape, said they had only.four or five days , provisions
on board, and thelYenehGovernment bad forbidden
them a supply; so they had to go out and aneet.the
Kearsarge or have the ship sold and the crew dis
banded. Trusting In that luck which had ever at,
tended" his craft, the bold'hnecaneer salted cat—to
meet more than his match.
. . . .
. If Captain Wilkes exceeded his duty In. taking
Mason and. Slidell, from the Trent; then Oaptatn
Winslow is ioniewhat to blame in allowing Semmes
to escape. , But one of hii apologists May reply that
ho inquired after Captain Semmes of the first boat
load ol wounded and prisoners that came on board,
and was told he was drowned. •
*ln afew days a new Alabama, and part of a new
anti part of the old crew, will be cutting the salt sea
foam at a speed.of .sixteen knots an hour, sinking
and burning what few merchant reseels " vetremain
under the stripes and Eters," and fitted - out as be
fore with British gold - , mounted with British guns,
and supplied with. British and accompanied
by the malignant joy of ninety-nino hundredths of
Englishmen. .
Four American sailors who were captured by the
Alabama on one of the last ships that sho hurtle&
have lately arrived in England. They describe the
Alabama as a "perfect boll on earth.", They say
there was not a particle of discipline on board; that
they considered their lives in jeopardy every hour,
and that.they did not believe Setumes himself felt
any personal. Security against his lawless myrmi

Captain Winslow, giving as a reason that he had

It was certainly in opposition to the instructions of
"Mr. Dayton, to whom Capt. Winslow applied as •to
whether or not he should parole the prisoners. Mr.
Dayton's answer, by telegraph, however, did not ar
rive until alter Diemen were paroled. It Is certainly
in opposition to the feelings aid wishes of his otil
cers. As to tho.mntter of room, Mr. Dayton In
formed tae before I loft Paris that he had tele
graphed to Capt. Winslow that the St. Louis would
arch - c at, Cherbourg In a few days, from the Medi
terranean, and could take most of the prisoners on
board. That Capt. Winslow believed ho was acting
for.the best, of course, I firmly belies-a.. Still I think
he acted very unwisely and injudiciously.
A DESCRIPTION' OF THE ALABAMA
A short description of the Alabama may not ho
amiss, therelbre 1 will give it : The Alabama, or
"250," was launched from the building yard of
the Messrs. Laird; of Birkenhead. She was a bark
rigged wooden propeller, 1,050 tons register, 210 feet
length of keel, 220 feet length over all, 32 feet beam,
and 11 feet depth. Her engines were built by Laird
Co., and were two horizontal ones, three hundred
horse power each, with stowage for nearly four hun
dred tons of coal. Her sails and standing rigging
at all times available were as follows : 3, ore, fore
top-mast, stay-sail-jib. two large try-sails, the useal
square sails on fore and main, with the exception of
mainsail, which, was n flying one, spanker and gaff
top-sails; all the standing rigging was wire. She
also had a double"wheel, and the motto Aide toi, et
Dieu Faidera. She carried five boat.s, viz: cut,
tor and launch amidships, gig - and whale-boat
between the main and wizen masts,, nud
dingy _ astern. The main deck was pierced
for twelve guns ;'elliptic stern, billet head, high
bulwarks. At the time she left Cherbourg her, crew
numbered one hundred and fifty persons. She
?ailed from Liverpool on the 29th of July, 1562, arid,
after preying for nearly two ,years upon unarmed
merchantmen• and having performed nothing more
worthy of her 'boasted prowess than the destruction
of the Hatteras, 1 urea - by the display of false colors
within range of her lire s ,shels'is tbutlit her first and
last battle. One may truly say,- !. she has boon seen'

GE.N..IIIILUM AT THE .BATTLE OF TELE AVILDMI-
ZzßeS.—A story has been widely prevalent that after
the battle of the Wilderness Gen. Meade advised
falling back across the Rapidan. It was for inti
mating something of this kind that Gen. Meade or
dered thelcorrespondent of a Philadelphia paper to
be sent out of the army. A zentletnan of Boston,
who had heard the report inareotly from. an army
officer, wrote a totter of inquiry to Gen. Grant; and
haajitst received a reply from Lieut. 001: Theodore
Lyman, Vol.A. D. 0:,! who states that the. totter
"asking about the truth or falsity of the calumnious
.report" was duly received, and has been forwarded
to Major General Mends, with an endorsement of
which the following is a copy :
"Gen. Meade on no occasion advised or coun
selled falling back toward, muoh loss across, the
Rapidan. There has been no word or act of his trout
the beginning of this campaign whiehindica Led oven
belief ort his part that such a step would over be
como necessary. Such rumors as you speak of are
entirely idle and without the shadow of fountlation.
