FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1864
New PUN' eatienti.
The Bradford Club of New York (named after
William Bradford, the first printer of Philadelphia
and New York, who Bled in 1782, aged ninety-two
years), have just brought out a new volume, su
perbly printed on sized vellum paper, imperial
octavo, of which only 150 copies are produced. This
volume is entitled "The. Operations of the French
Fleet under Count de Grasso, in 1781-2, as described
In two contemporaneous journals." --It is edited by
John Gilmary Shea, %Intact( an author of repute.
One of the journal! In question purports to have
been written by the Chevalier do Goussencourt,
which is probably a none de plume, Inasmuch as a
search In the Navy office at Paris failed to discover
that any officer so named was on the expedition of.
De Grasse in 1752, nor, Indeed, In the navy-lists
from 1781 to 1787. The Chevalier, whoever he was,
was hostile to Count de Grasse, and freely can-.
Tosses his operations, the last of which was an
encounter with Rodney, the English Admi.
ral, which ended In the capture of himself anti
the Ville de Paris, his flag-ship. The Chevalier
constantly disparages De Grasse,but his narrative
Is plain and detailed, one amusing episode (pp. 30-
- 88) is an account of the cereinonials, one might call'
them the saturnalia, observed on entering the torrid
zone. The journalist speaks' of flying-fish as
"really the most delicate of all moats 'f—an opinion
'not bold now. lie describes the events which led to
the surrendernf Lord ,Cornwallis at Yorktown, the
French assisting, and after relating the subsequent
career of the French fleet winds up with an amount,
_illustrated by diagrams, of the encounters with Rod
ney, which ended in the surrender of. De Grasse, on
the 12th Of, April, 1782 and tells how the fleet re
turned to France. -The whole narrative Is the re:
verse of friendly to De Grasse, ft gallant but unfor
tunate officer. Justice is done to him, however, in
a second document, also given here, the " journal
of an Officer of the Naval Army in America, in 1781
and 1782, 1 ' printed at Amsterdam, In 1785. This
journalist is more explicit than the other, and says
that the Ville de Paris did not surrender until after
A twelve hours' contest. Do Grasse and his officers
were taken to London, where they were treat
ed With the utmost respect, well reeelved by
the Royal family, visited by the Ministry
and other leading men, and conveyed to
France in vessels expressly chartered by the British-
Admiralty. An appendix contains a correspondence'
between Count de Grasse and Washington, 1111 ac-,
count of De Grasse's conquest of Tobago fromthe .
Ca:celle de France; a journal, from Almon's- Bement
brancer, of the whole of his operations at sea, in
cluding the encounter with Rodney and ROdners
Own despatches announcing the victory. The
volume Is well edited; with necessary Introductions,
blograPhical and other notices,' and'an excellent in
dex. A portrait of Cotmt de Grasse, beautifully
engraved by Geoffrey, is a suitable frontispiece; and
there is, also, a view of the Ville de. Paris. Con
nected with our own successes, which ended with ,
the defeat of Lord Cornwallis, as the aid of the
French fleet was, at the very moment when it was
most needed, we think that the Bradford Club •
have done well in producing this volume as a con
tribution to national history. , .
Three years ago, Brown & Taggard, Boston, com.
menced the publication of a new and complete
edition of the works of Francis Bacon;_ the great
English philosopher, who, for a time, was' Lord
Chancellor to James 1., but will lire throtigh his
writings. This is a reprint of Bacon, edited by three
eminent English scholars (all belonging to the Uni
versity of Cambrldge,) namely, James Spedding,
Robert Leslie Ellis, and Douglas Demon Heath.
The publishers made a promise that the work should
be completed in fifteen volumes small Bvo., that In
typographical'execution and appearance it should
at least equal the English edition, and that the
price should be much smaller. They further ar
ranged to sell the work only by subscription until
completediTheir successors,raggard & Thompson,
also Boston publishers, have fully carried out their
pledges. The work has been printed by H. Q.
Houghton, at the Riverside Press ; the paper Is of
the finest, and the binding of the firmest quality;
the price has not been raised, though the cost of
production has greatly increased.. The work is now
complete, in fifteen handsome volumes, and is now
offered for sale, for the first time, to all purchasers.
The public at large have now the opportunity of
purchasing a choice subscription series, containing
all that wise Bacon ever wrote, at a price far beloW
what it sells for in England. No ono who makes the
slightest claim to possessing a library can dispense,
with the ]Yorks of Treads Bacon. -
. _
.lames Parton, one of .the raost , indastrihns broitr:
writers, hne produced, in two volumes crown-
80,4 What May emphatically be entit.led the Life of
'Benjkilain•Franidin. Hitherto.we had-no full and
reliable account of the great practical man of our
greitlievolution. The good sense and firmness bf
Franklin, the! sagacity and,courage, of Jefferson,
and".the 'endurance and courage of Washington
raised us, with the blessing of Divine Providence,
to the condition of a Nation. it is impossible tow
find any work, or number of works, conveying,
together with the fullest personal details, about
Franklin himself, such an accurate idea of the social
and political mechanism, literally "wheel within,
wheel," of thitransition state of this country from
the tea-riot at Boston to the surrender us Oorn wants
at Yorktown. It is the history. Of the time as well
as of, the man, and Is written with energy, patriot
ism, and ability. Mr. Parton, wo are happy - to say,
has not what critics call " a style," but writes with
ease and force, with his meaning always obvious.
We have found few errors in these volumes. He,
certainly is wrong in' attilbuting to Franklin the
saying of Dr. Warburton, " Orthodoxy is:-„my.doxy, -
and heterodoy, is your dm," Mint°,
(vol: if;; p 7) apeaks of each gamester haVing " a
small nesentaisd by bird to hold the . .,ir- tea." -,Dut;as
a -whole, :this "perhaps, greatest
.man, , all things considered,',,thi.V: - Amerlea has yet
.produced, is readable and rgliable. The •
English critics, fa,obsorve, highly wheeze it. The
book has a good hmilitfe 'index, and' Is 'embellished
with portraits, engraved on steel, of Franklin at the
age of twenty and also aged seventy-one ; of Mis.
Sarah Bache, his daughter*; and of Francis Folger
:Franklin, his son, who died in youth.' The type
graphy, by Mr. Alvord;Neti York, is beautiful. Mr.
Parton, we regret-to notice, favors the incorrect or
thography,of Webster.
- .
Air. Parton first became generally known to: the
public..by his Life 'and Times of Aaron Burr, pub
lished in 1857, in which he was bold and generous
enough to clear from the characterof Burr great
quantity of traditionary slander. It had been the
fashion, for half a century, to accent Hamilton as a
martyr and saint and Burr as a deep-dyed sinner.
Dir. Parton showed , how little foundation there was
for, the double Mistake. He has Sust published a
new and enlarged , editiori--of f ids Life of Burr, in
which much neWMatter Is introduced, in the'appen
dices., Among the additions `are further portions of
Burrls correspinidenee With his wife and daughter,
Who idolized hinr;Which show him in a very bright
light - '
Supplementary , to this biography of Burr is an
octavo volume called " The Blennerhassott Papers,"
published by Moore, Wilstach, & Baldwin, of Cin
cinnati, which Is an extension of a work-written
by William IL:Safford, entitled "The Life of
Biennerhassett," and published in 1860. Since then
Mr. Safford obtained the journals, private memo
randa, and correspondence of Blennerhassett. He
has used these in the extension of his work, and has
executed it with judgment, ability, and fairness.
The volume is of historical interest, on account of
the light It throws upon Burr's mexican schemes.
Blennerhassett himself deserves the very smallest
sympathy. Mr.' Safford directly °harps General
Wilkinson with being the author of tho Burr expe
dition, which he finally betrayed. Burr's great
fault was, ho was a filibuster thirty years too soon.
Mr. Parton's works and this Blennerhassett volume
are sold by J. B. Lippincott.
3. E. Tliton & Co., Boston, have just published a
charming volume, which we recommend our female
readers to obtain and study, for it Is one of a series
expressly got up for them. It le entitled " Wax
Flowers, how to make them.? Indeed, It more than
carries out the promise of Its title. It shows how to
mould fruit in wax; how to cast them; how to
finish them (by color, powdering, and varnishing);
how to make small clustered Irani; how to obtain
and prepare wax; how to make wax flowers, leaves,
stems, and buds; , and how to model double flowers,
All that Is difficult Is made easy, by illustrative en
gravings. This delightful art of making flowers
and frult in wax, to imitate nature, is a companion
to that of making skeleton leaves and phantom
flowers, explained in another volume by the same
publisher. One of the most successful novels of the
season, "Neighbor Jac.kwood," by 3. T. Trowbridge,
author of " Oudjo , s Cave," has just' been published
by Messrs. Tiltbn. It is highly sensational, dra
matic, and semi-political—in its exposition of the
horrors of Slavery. "Haunted Hearts," a novel
by Miss Cumming, Is much superior to "The Lamp
lighter," her first work, and will probably have a
larger sale. The language is vigorous, and the
characters, who , flll, but do not crowd the volume,
aro drawn with skill, judgment, and effect. Above
all, they talk naturally—which people In novels
rarely do.
Memories of Illorris
A correspondent of the Boston Pool relates the
following of Morris : •
"For his song, 'Origin of Yankee Doodle,' he
originally received twenty-live dollars, but such
had been Its success in reaching the national heart,
that, when Its author, wished to incorporate it into
his book of collected poems, the publisher of the
song demanded fifteen hundred dollars for the per-,
mission. -Attrill, of old, one of our shrewdest music
publishers, offered one thousand. dollars for My
Mother's Bible,' after It had been two years before
the public under the imprint of a, rival house. Fifty,
one hundred, and even five hundred. dollars, have
been paid to. Morris for single compositions, and
for years almost any of his song
. s have boon con
sidered cheap at any price. Of ' Woodman, Spare
that Tree,' millions of copies have been sold, and this
song, in its time, has been prominent in the pro
gramxne or bidden as a tit it In the repertoire of
every vocallet of note. Mallbran, Russell, Braham,
Phillips, Horn, Pearman, Dempster,
and Anna Bishop, have made Morris' songs fee,
tures in their musical entertainments, both here
end In Europa. 'My Mother's Bible,' We Were
Boys Together,' Boatman Haste,' Near the Lake,'
Ceti ogees Welcome,' Songs of Homo,' and a cata
logue of two hundred others, all popular, are uni
versal.r Ballo set some twenty-five of these songs to
appropriate symphonies. Sir John Stephenson, Sir.
Henry Bishop; and many others, have also arranged
sweet melodies, which, with the words, have become
almost to universal as the language of love, And,
s ' i 9 JULY 22. 1864. .
apropos of this last thought, how many fond but
bashful lovers havo, by the old of Morris' sonm,
given bob] and blissful utterances to their heart's
tit robbi ngs 1
"Norris, too, was the first song-writer who trans
ferred negro melodies from the plantation to the
parlor, and thus popularized this now fatnous
strelsy. 'Long Time Age,* and Through the
Streets of Now York City,' were the earliest and
most successful fruits of these attempts at musical
transformation. lie was, moreover, something be
sides song-writer.. As ir dramatisChe was success
ful enough to get thirty-flue hundred dollars, jn
1827, for his liner 01111 - , , and, for - the libreltb of
opera, 'The Al aid of Saxony, , he was paid twenty
five hundred dollars, in '180:. ills collectedprose
tales circulated to the extent of twenty-five thou,
send copies, and Lis collected poems have also had
large and profitable currency: He once told me
that he received ton thousand dollars from the
sales of the poems, which Is abundant_orldence of
their popularity."
lATERIRL
—Dr. NCWIMELD, the eminent Pathelic . clergymtut,
a proselyte from Protestantism, - has published' a
pamphlet about himself, called -" Aporogirc pro vete
Sae." In this work he uses many arguments/ in
favor of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception,
and the liquefaction of St. Januarlus , blend. As-a
specimen of his strong style of writing, we citruot
the following sentence :

The superior strength of cast steel cannot be
better illustrated than In the 'fact that castings of
steel without hammering,rolllng, or other means of
meohanlcal compression, show a very high degree
of strength and tenacity far above that of castings
of any other kind in practical use. Advantage Is
taken of this property of cast steel to .snake bolls of
that material one-third lighter than bronze bells of
the same diameter; and this lightereteol boll will,
still bear double the breaking strain. of the brobze
one. Another superiority of steel castings is that
they are not as liable as other meter to break when
subjected to concussions during intense frost, as
proved by the Diet that cast steel bells are rung in
Russia and Canada, where the thermometer ranges
twenty degrees under zero, Fahrenheit, without the
least injury, while the heavier and thicker bronze
bells cannot be rung in the same temperature
without cracking: 'The same prOperties have led to

To the Citizens of Northwest Nitwourt whom it may
Your best men have assured me by word and letter
that you meant tohehave as law-abiding and peace

and pledged themselves for you. I have entrusted
the peace to yap r keeping. I have supplied you with
ammunition andlett arms in your hands. You have
given me fair promises while you allowed rebels and
guerillas tallveand recruit among you. You have
concealed from our authorities these men and their
projects. You have seen iobberi and murderers
joined by the very men who swore to defend us

The arms and ammunition delivered to you for the

been, who will.thlorato a species of—l will not call

vengeance due to, such moral dereliction among free

'The War Press in the Army—The Sani
tary Commission.
We extract the following from a private letter
from an army officer to a friend in this city :
I get the paper you send me, and take great plea
sure In reading it, because it Is an evidence of your
regard, and Is a very excellent paper. I think that
a. Judiciously conducted weekly paper, stating the
current events of the past week, which have actually,
according to reliable authority, transpired, more
profitable to read than those daily papers which
have the bad habit of getting things so Jumbled In
a mare of contradictory rumors and reports that
after you have road them you are ne wiser than you
were before. The description of your Great Fair,
in The Press, was very graphio and.interesting.
The United States Sanitary Commission is doing
very much this summer for the troops in the field,
by the distribution of such anti-lcorbuties as saner.
kraut, canned fruits, lemons, Sze.... One good effect
elate efforts of that beneficent institution is seen In
the fact that the commissaries are stimulated to put
in requisitions for dried and fresh fruits and Vega.
tables so that between the Commission and the
commissaries the army is bettor. supplied than over
before with these good things..
There is one thing, however, which I think the
Sanitary Commission should not send to the field,
namely : stimulants; except, perhaps, for use in
the general hospitals. The fact is that Government
can easily supply wines and liquors, and as long as
the surgeons have only the stimulants furnished by
Government they are liberally. dispensed to the sick,
and cannot be used for the entertainment of friends
or the making of presents,.becanse all have to be
strictly aceounted•lor.
But the stimulants received from the Sanita
ry Commission they are accountable for only to
their own consciences, and .much of the liquor sent
down by the Sanitary Commission, I have good rea
son to believe, is misappropriated, and instead of
being a source of good is a. fruitful source of evil.
Now thesame thing is true r no doubt, of supplies seat
down by the Christian Commission ; and these de
fects will and do exist in allbeneficent Institutions of
this kind—will, at least, until all men become honest
and unselfish. The weakness of dishonesty and sel
fishness may affect the agents of these institutions,
and cause tho fund for relief to be misapplied; but
the generosity that glvos . by the million and labors
incessantly for the application of the fund to Its
proper uses, is one nt. those manifestations of the
great goodness that existain the hearts of those for
whom the army suffers.,and the reflection thatsuoh
goodness does exist in thogreat mass of the people,
makes fi ghting to their defence almost a pleasure.
The Coal Mines of the South.
The American Coal. Trac t - after mentioning the
large supply of coal, necessary to keep up the nu
merous southern foundaries, Government machine
shops and arsenals, states that as the source of
these supplies in Virginia and Tennessee are in the
hands of our forces, that they should be held by all
means, as the boat results would necessarily follow
from this coursani: action. We quote :
- therolore, that the greater part of. the
Coal used by tha 'Confederates' for manufacturing
and other purposes, must coma from the mines near
'Richmond. , And as almost every person has an
idea as to how. Richmond could be taken, and the
rebellion crushed, we would suggest as our plan (if
unhappily General Grant should not lumina before
cold weather sets in) that the coal mines above
Richmond should be seized, and the supply of coat
be abut olf,and thus freeze the rebels into Bobtail-
E 1013.",
We aro, sorry to spoil so fair &theory, but as ,It Is
best to know the truth in this as well as In , other
batters relating to the conflict now raging, NVO will
make the following statement of (cots, derived from
a reliable source.:
First. Nearly an the Southern States possess coal
mines, and the pooplo of those States were not so
ignorant of their locality as not to avail themselves
of this very necessary supply so. near their own
doors, when the war rendored all further triode with
the 'North impossible.
Ever since tho war began the coal minoonf North,
and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama have
been worked with groat success.
Whin the occupation of the Termoss.m. Railroad
rendered - it impossible td receive any more coal
from thaiStateefor the use of the Immenseffumbor
cif Goverument works and foundries in Georgia. and
Alabama, thelaborlng forces wore greatly increased
on the mines of Oarettaa, and Alabama, and these
last, in altledegha county, near Selma; have
come of 'testi importance. A Wallah railroad has
been btillt to ((militate ttanspOttatiOn to the river,
and a neWlihe of beats established to carry the (tool
Iron Selma to .3tlontgomory, from thoLoo to be
' , hippo!), by rail, to the various depots In Alabaiha
and Geofkla. I•
From thlastakement of facts, it will be Soon how
foolish it . Is to predicate su,ccesses on the simple
ignorance of thitrao State of affairs In the Southern
country. The existence of a certain state of things
tofirre the War 'does not necessarily establish tha
lam condition of things now.—N. 1. E.rpress.
