TO INVESTEES IN ROADS AND MINESI
The P. 8. Bailroafl an® Mining Bolster
Contains tbs latest intelligence on all matters relating
to roads and mines, to the transportation of products,
and to the manipulation of the metals in all carts of the
commercial world, hut most particularly in the United
States and Territories.
And as the rail lines now stretch. out West from
Bangor, and East from Ran Francisco, with a prospect
that the Pacific Railroad will soon supersede the Over
land stage route, ana as mines of coal and iron, oil and
Quicksilver, copper and nickel, lead and zinc, silver
and gold, are scattered througnont the States and Ter
ritories, yielding an aonnal product wort IT hundreds of
millions of dollsra, and exhibiting an increase which
surpasses estimatefand is beyond example. it wilt be
perceived, where the matter is appreciated, that the
mining and carrying investments of the whole e mutry
have enlarged into stupendous totals and expanded over
vast areas
Of developments and results touching and pertaining
to these special interests, the Register keeps current re
cord in more variety and wider scope than any ether
tmskly newspaper
Theßegfster was first published in May, 1856, is in
its ninth year, and is an established institution.
As an advertising sheet for mining machinery, rail
road equipments, the metals; engineering, etc., the
Register offers unsurpassed attractions through the
ramification of its continental and international tir
culation. - ..

ALL KINDS OF FAMILY SEWING,
from the behest woolens to the most delicate fabrics,
neinx all kinds of silk, cotton, and linen thread, from

NO OTHER MACHINE does so large a range of work
as the FLORENCE.
NO OTHER MACHINE pleases the ladlea soweUas
the FLORENCE.
IT IB THE HANDSOMEST AND THE BEST!
More than ONE THOUSAND of the FLORENCE have
been eol'd In Philadelphia within the last few months.
The FLORENCE is the only PERFECT FAMILY SEW
INO MACHINE, warranted to give entire satisfaction,
or money returned. There is no one who owns a
FLORENCE that would sell it at cost.
Obliging LADY OPERATORS give instructions at the
houses of purchasers free of charge. Every MaoMue

Call and lee lie operations, whether you wish to pnr
ehsae or not. Samples of sewing, with price list, sent

Academy of Fine Arts.
The fine collection of paintinge, drawings, and en
gravlngsnow being exhibited at the Academy of
Fine Arts, for the benefit of the Ohrlstlan Commis
sion, la the exclusive property—with only twelve
or ionrteen 'exceptions, pictures belonging to Mr.
Harrison, Mr. Fales, Mr, Kothermel, Sec.—of James
L. Olaghom, Esq.. This oalleetfon at onoo attests
that gentleman’s taste and his patriotism. He bus
put himself to the trouble—we might say the sacri
fice—of removing these fine works of art from his
private residence to the Academy, for public view,
and the proceeds are to he handed over to the Chris
tian Commission. It is scarcely fair to criticise a
private, as If it wore a public gallery, but we may say
that Mr. Claghorn possesses some of the fines t paint
ings not only In this city, but in this country. The
specimens of American art are very fine, including
subjects by the best painters we have—Church,
Hamilton, Moran, T. B. Head,- and other well
known painters, besides the latest production of Jio
thermol’s genius, “ Paul before Agrippa,” la which
It Is doubtful whether the drawing or the coloring is
the best. In this collestion, too, are many foreign
paintings of great merit, Including one a little
larger than cabinet size, by Wlttkamp, the Flemish
artist, which is, decidedly the most agreeable ex
ample of Ms slriU we have seen. TMs exhibition,
which opens as early as 9 A. M., does not close until
10 in the evening. A new way of lighting' the
rooms, whloh tones down the daylight and distri
butes It equally, has been Introduced, to show off
these pictures, aqd will probably be adopted- In the
Academy itself in future exhibitions. We reborn
mend not only the lovers of art, but the friends of
the Christian Commission, to give themselves a
pleasure, besides helping a noble ekarity, to visit
the collection to which we here draw publle atten
tion.
Raising' the Flag.
After the first tangible overt-act of Treason In
April, 1861, committed by the attack upon Fort
Sumpter, there arose an irrepressible feeling in
the hearts of loyal mllUons that the time had
at length arrived when the North should no
longer submit' to the usurpation and contumely
of the South. Every where the national flag was
raised with a firm resolve ever, to maintain It
In its pride of place. The subject engaged the
sympathies of the public at large, and especially of
the artlsts who work with pen and pencil, our poets
and painters. One of these, Mr. Winner, working
In oil, has produced a cabinet picture, now in pos
sesslon of Mr. Charles Desilver, 1229 Chestnut
street, who has published a fine colored Uthograph
-from It, which is very suitable for ornamenting the
parlors and sitting-rooms of loyal oitizens. “ Raising
the Flag” represents an actual event in Washing
ton in May, 1861, when the stars and stripes were
unfurled to the breeze in the neighborhood of the
equestrian statues of Washington and Jackson, by
an assemblage of young people, and, at Jhe same
moment, was saluted with enthusiasm by a crowd of
'volunteers who hadjrnshed to arms to defend the
Unlonand crush Kebelli*. There is spirited aotion
in this spirited drawing which Mr. Desilver has
dedicated “To the Defenders of the. Union,” and
we predict that, (especially as he has put the price
low), “ Raising the Flag ” wiU become a favorite
and acceptable Holiday present during the next
three weeks. The original can be seen, we believe,,
at Mr. Desilvcr’s bookstore.
New Publications.
Mr. F. Leypoldt, Chestnut street, has published,
In one ootavo volume, all the poetical works of John
Milton, edited by Charles Dsxter Cleveland, who
has supplied a biography of .the poet, preliminary
dissertations on each poem, notes critical and ex
planatory, a Index to the poems, a verbal
index applicable to any edition of Mil ton,.a copious
index of the subjeots in “Paradise Lost,” and a
catalogue of the similes. Professor Cleveland has
taken unusual pains to have the text as oorreot as
possible, and has succeeded. The same publisher
has produced a very neat packet edition of Sir E.
Eulwer Lytton’s lyrical translation of the Poems
and Ballads of Schiller, the great German poet.
It has a fine portrait, is printed with clear type on
good paper, and is handsomely bound. Miss Fanny
Fuller’s translation of the wen-known French tale,'
"Mother Miohel and her Oat,” Is Mr. Leypoldt’s
latest issue.. It is crowded with oSd-looking en
gravings, wMch will amuse young folks, at any
rate. The translation is wen executed, hut there
was soarcely any occasion for it, as an English ver
sion has long been In print In this country. The
present edition Is very neat, and just in time for the
holidays.
D. Appleton* Co., New York, have jas t published
the first volume (Svo,, pp. 662) aj & “ History of the
World, from the Earliest Heeords to the Present
Time,” by Philip Smith, one of the principal con
tributors to Smith’s Dictionaries of creek and Ho
man Antiquities, Biography, and Geography. This
volume, which Is illustrated with maps, plans, and
engravings, contains Anoient History, from the
creation oi the World to the accession of Philip o f
Macedon. The narrative Is very lucid, and Mr'
Smith has diligently availed himself of the num»
rons discoveries which modern research has made In
the anoient world. Mr. J. K. Simon, 33 Strath
Sixth street, is agent for this work, which will be
complete In eight volumes.
The same publlshers have brought out the fifth
and sixth volumes of Merivale’s “History or the
Homans under the Empire,” which will terminate
where Gibbon’s work begins. Another volume,
containing a full analytical index, will aomplete
this work. The present volumes cover a period of
more than half a century, Including the reigns of
Tiberius, Calus (Caligula), Claudius, Nero, Calba,
Otho, Yitelllus, and Yespaslan. It treats, also, of
the beginning of Christianity in Home, the das trac
tion of Jerusalem by Titus, and the final annexa
tion of Palestine to the empire. This Is one of the
most successful, comprehensive, and able histories
written in our time.
Dr. Edward I*. Youmans, the well-known Chemlsti
has collected Into , a 12mo. volume of nearly SCO
pages a series of Expositions on “ The Correlation
and Conservation of Forces,” by Professors crJT®'
Helmholtz, and Liebig, andDrs. Mayer,
and Faraday. He has prefixed an elaborate Intro
duction, in which he does justice to Count Hum
ford’s advanced Ideas upon the general question of
forces, and adds biographical notices of the writers
of the Essays, as well as a good index. The volume
is dedloaiedtoDr.!j. W. Draper, Professor of Che
mistry and Physiology In the University of New
York—an appropriate and well-merited compli
ment.
Appleton’s Ballway Anecdote Book, supplying
' agreeable reading on travel by river and rail, Is Il
lustrated with many amusing engravings, and Is
better than nineteen, twentieths of the, pretended
Joe Miller’s, published here and to England.
An autobiography of unusual Interest is the R3V.
Dr. J. H. Newman’s “Apologia pro Vita Sua,” being
a reply to a pamphlet written by the Bev. Charles
Ktogsley, Professor of History to the university of
Cambridge. In a magazine article upon Troude’s
History of England, Mr. Kingsley had charged that
“Truth, for Its own sake, had never been a virtue
with the Boman clergy,” adding that “Father
Newman Informs us that It need not, and on the
whole ought not to be; that cunning is the weapon
which Heaven has given to the saints, wherewith to
withstand the brute male force of the wicked
world which marries and 1b given in marriage.
Whether his notion be doetrinally correct or not, it
Is at least historically so.” Not having ever written
or said what was thus imputed to him, Dr. Newman
branded It as “a grave and gratuitous slander,”
and called upon Mr. Kingsley to retract It. This
was done, but re-iterated, to effeot. in a pamphlet
which Mr. K. called “ What, then, does Dr. New
man mean ?” The reply to' this, with the previous
correspondence, occupies nearly.half this volume.
The remainder is Dr. Newman’s-own account of
his life and of Ms religious opinions up to the
time (I84S) when he, a clergyman of the Church of
England, went over to the Church of Borne. A mcre
Important contribution to polemical literature has
rarely been published, for It Involves the whole
history of what Is commonly palled Puseylsm,.aota
ally commenced by Dr. Newman, wlien Minister of
the-University Church (St. Mary’s) at Oxford, and
followed up to the famous Tracts for the Times,
many of which were written by him—especially the
celebrated Number Ninety. Of the sincerity of Dr.
Newman there is as little doubt as there oaa be of
Ms wide grasp of mind, vast learning, and unaffect
ed piety; but the world will naturally rejoice to
learn by what processes of thought, by what gradu
ations of eonvlotion, he became a Catholls. In a
worldly point of view he lost by the change, but that
would be only as a straw to the balance iasuoh a
man’s earnest mtod. The personal part of this book
is full of deep Interest; the controversial portion,
though he maybe said to have crushed his assailant,
is not so good. -
The Bev. George T.Ey'der,editor the “Lyra
Anglicana,” which we lately notioed, has published
a companion volume, called “ Lyra Americana; or
Verses of Praise and Faith,” which he has selected
and arranged with good taste. It is pleasant to And
that our verse-writers have produood so muoh sa
ored poetry, respectable in exeoutlon, and often of a.
higher quality, as is contained to this volume.!
Among the writers drawn upon here are W. C. Bry
ant, G. W. Bethune, William Crosweli, Bishop
Doane, E. H. Chapin, A. C. Coxe, L, H. Sigourney,
J. W. Alexander, Anne C. Lynch, H- W. Longfel

Whittier, K. W. Emerson, Bishop Onderdonk, O.
W. Holmes, Th. Tilton, John Q.ulnoy 'Adams, Jas.
B, Lowell, AUoe Cary, Washington Allston, George
T. Ryder, and John:A. Dix. The latter, now to mi.
Htary command of New York, renders the well
known “Dies lHe”int»-English verse—a crenel
tion spirited and' nearly literal, except that “ dies
lrso,” whtoh he renders “ day of - Vengeance,” actual
ly means “day of anger.” The whole collection is
very good—considering that wo can draw upon a
few poets to little more than Ulty years, while men
have been writing sacred poetry to “the old coun
try’’for three oenturies past.,
• Messrs.’ Appleton’s publications, are on sale by
