As the election of Mr. Lincoln was merely the reaffirmation of the principles upon which he had conducted the trying issues of Administration, so in his- inaugu ral address he confines himself to declaring that the war shall be prosecuted with un sparing energy until the end. Here is no new assortment of principles for,the com ing’four years. We fail to see any undue or unseemly exultation over military tri umphs—and with singular good taste he says nothing that might be regarded as an assault upon any who may have opposed Mm in Ms Administration, or during the canvass in wMch Ms name and deeds were bo violently denounced. It is impossible not to feel in reading this brief addresstbat Mr. Lincoln is the President of the whole country. There is no sectionalism in him.. He is not the President of the North or of the South. He is not the President of the; oonquered orjhe.couaueri-ng- Statoo. - He is the CMef Magistrate of the Republic, and he proposes to vindicate the dignity of the; Republic in its war with the re bellion by {continuing to persecute and destroy the traitors to the constitution we the people have committed the Presi dent to this principle, and he registers Ms determination to fight it out to the end. Beyond this nothing more remained for him to say. Just now the only policy is a war policy, and there is no statesmansMp required, except how best to strengthen onr armies and end the war. - TotMsall diplomacy, all home legislation, all finan ciering must bend. How best to overcome and destroy the rebellion is the problem. *To this end we have immense armies and navies, incurred a vast debt, suspended wise constitutional enactments, and under gone a conscription of the most Weeping nature. The President feels that he is truly expressing the peoples’ will in de creeing the prosecution of the war and the overthrow of slavery, and having made this declaration, he again enters upon the grave and stern duties of Ms high station. ' We give him out warmest sympathy and confi dence,and earnestly pray that the blessings of God may attend him during the years of Ms new Administration. ’s Sheridan, aftor long sllchcg, lmg liccn heard from—as usual, with a victory, "We need hot comment on his splendid success more important in its results than its im mediate triumph.

It wub impossible to hear the speech of Mr. Hamlin dis- • tinctiy, owing to the confusion and conveteatioa con tin naily kept up between the ladies in the arallariaa. Mi. Johnson, before taking the oath of .office, made a short speech, which, at in the case of McMtamlin, was nearly inaudible, owing to the want of order which pre vailed among the ladies in the galleries. By the' choice of the people, he said, he had been made presiding officer of-this body, and in presenting himself here, in obedience to the behests of the Con stitution of the UnitedßlaUs, it would perhaps not be out of place to remark just here what a striking thing tie Constitution,was. It was & Constitution of the people cf the country, and under it hereto day, before the American Senate, he felt that he was a man and an American citizen. He had a proud illustration of the fact that under the Constitution a min could rfse from the ranks to occupy the second place in the gift oC the American people and of the American Government. Those of us who have labored onr white lives for the establish me nt of a free government know how to cherish itsgie&t blessings. He would say to Senators and others before him* tothcSOpreme Court which sat before him, that ttey all got their.power from the people of this country; and, turning towards Mr. Chase, Mr. Johnson said: •• And, your excellency, your position depends upon the people.? 1 Then nursing towards tbe Cabinet Ministers, he said: * ‘ And I will say to you, Mr. Score tary Seward; and to you, Mr. Secretary Stanton; and to you.Hr Secretary’ ’—to a gentleman near by, soitovoce. ** Who is the Secretary of the Navy? 1 ’ The person ad dressed replied; in a whkper, * f Mr. Welles.” Mr. Johnson —“ And to you, Mr. Secretary Welles, £ would say. you ail derive your power from the people. ’ ’ Mr. Job neon then remarked that the groat element of vitality in this Government was its nearness and proximity to the people. He wanted to say to all who beard him, in the face of the American people, that all power was derived from the people. He would say in the bearing of the foreign Ministers, for he was going to tell the truth here to-day, that he was a pleblan. and he thanked God for it. It was the populat heart of this nation that was testing to sustain the Cabinet officers and the President of the United States. It was a strange occasion that called forth a pleblan like him to tell such things as there. Mr. Johnson then adverted to affairs in Tennessee, and the abolition of slavery there. He thanked God that Tennessee was a State in the Union, and had never been out. The State Gcvv«nnn*Bi had -been cicceutiirueit for arlme —there had been an interregnum—a hiatus—but she had never been out of the Union. He stood here to-day as her representative. On this day she would elect a Governor auda-Legtaia iure, would very, soon send Senators and members to Connes*.

Llppincott A Go.- have Included in thelr- Geographlcal Series a translation, by William L, Gage, of “Comparative Geography,” by Carl Bit ter, late professor of Geography in the University of Boston. This volume, studiedjin conjunction with BenjamluE-Shaw’s “ Comprehensive Geography, will teach the science inulllte numerous bearings, better than a whole book shelf of ordinary school books. These volumes appeal to the reason, and must make the student think, compare, and reflect. We hope to see both books In general use In schools and colleges. Brillat-Savarin, a French Judge under the Em plre and the Restoration, made’himself a perma nent reputation by a work which he called the “Physlologie du Gout,” published anonymously, he being one of those who - - * ' ‘ Do good by stealth and bluth to find It fame,' ’ Hiß boot is an amusing as well as Instructive dis sertation upon the philosophy, practical and men tal, of good living. We do not believe that it has yet been translated in full, bnt D. Appleton & Co., the New York publishers, have brought outj trans lated from its pages, by L. F, Simpson, a neat volume entitled “The Handbook of Dining; or. Corpulency and Leanness scientifically considered.” In fact, BrlUat-Savarin anticipated Mr. Banting, and wrote very skilfully on the art of reducing or fostering hnman plnguldlty. His work is lively and instructive. It abounds in aphorisms. There is great truth in this, 11 A man who invites friends to dinner, and takes no personal interest in his dinner, is not worthy of friendship,” but we quostlontho declaration that “ A dinner without cheese is like a pretty woman with only one eye.” For our own part, we oan dispense with Stilton or Double Gfclos ter, provided thire be a sufficient variety of Ash, flesh, and fowl at dinner, as may be asocrtained by sending an invitation. “The Forsaken Daughter” is the last work of fiction published by T. B. Peterson & Brothers. It is printed in handsome, hold type, but is crowded with errors of tho press, including a noble contempt for punctuation. We have “a drlcf .slumber,” “golden eye’d stars,” “cutting off the beautiful dahlia's,” “Titians Bella,” and “Don,Quixott’a wine-skins.” ! The style is a mixture of the stilted and the familiar. In one sentence, swallows are “ Independent land-owners, who Jlit their rural homes at the approach of winter,” and, In the-next, pigs are mentioned as “porcine in mates.” There are several puns- so mis enable that: the reader is often to ask “ Whored Bln ney 1” Thera can be s’malilidpe for an author who speaks of “tho metes of night.” On the-cover, though not on the title-page, this book is »f down as “Oompn. to ‘Linda.’” Who and what Liu. da may be Is no where indicated. Again, the title page, besides the name of tho hook, bears' upon It a decidedly strong “puff”—full of exaggerated, eulogy. We -submit :that there is bad. taste In thus disfiguring the page, as well as lh sub stituting the publishers’ interested: opinion for the judgment of the public. It will be noticed, too, that the story commences at page 25. Deduoting title-page and its book, credit is claimed for 22 pages more than the volume professes to contain. We are unable to say whether this is:a new book, or an old book with a' new name; but, from anal le gion on page" 284, we learn that It was written during the lifetime of Washington Irving—that is, over five years ago. The plot Is Improbable and Involved, hut several of the characters are well drawn. A colored nurse, named Sybil, to whom undue pro minence isnot given, is. truly an orlgtnal,And apparently sketched from'life.

Eruttion or Mount, Etna..—Letters from Sicily,-received on Tuesday, announce an eruption of Mount Etna. -It will be remembered that the mountain showed signs of activity on the first day of the year, When a smart shook of earthquake was ex perienced throughout the surrounding country. A fetter from Messina of the fith Inst, thus desoribes the eruption“ During the last few days a fresh eruption of Mount Etna has taken place. It being an extraordinary spectacle, mid a phenomenon only repeated at long Intervals, I went to. the mountain at the first receipt of the news, and stayed there two days notwithstanding the excessively bad weathev. The lava is not abundant at Its source, and Immediately divides' Itself into two principal brandies ; neither are the two torrents very wide. That which I have seen, and the largest, was about 15 metres high, and of a width of 250 or 300 metres. It Issues on the east side of !Etna, and hardly reaches the border ofthe cultivated vine districts, but ithas overwhelmed two cottageis, and if it oontinues it elll probably destroy the villages of Masoali and Piedlmonte; at least New Publications.. it la likely to take that direction, for lt'ls impossible to establish the laws by which those enormous masses of red-hot liquid matter are guided. The other branch runs down the northern side, ana threatens the village of Liaguagrossa. This is the smaller torrent, and it is already subdivided Into several ramifications, which tend to take a course in the direction of the unculti vated region.” A letter Oom Catania, of the 6th Inst., on the same subjeot, says: 11 We arrived here en the 8d lost, and came from Bronte by Piedl montesnd Glarre,to get a viewer the eruption.

There are five craters bard at work and various streams. No accommodation is to be had near, so it is not ac cessible to ladies, or I would make an effort to go. Foreigners and Sicilians are pouring towards the spot. lam afraid to give particulars, as rumors are conflicting; but be certain that there is much to see awfully grand, and more to hear than most people’s tympanums will bear. — Malla Times, Feb. 9. THE CITY., j THE NEW MEMBER OF THE BUTREJIB COURT. We are enabled this morning to present our read ers with the speech of John. S, Book, Eeq., the colored man who was recently admitted to practice at the bar of the Supremo Court of the United - States, which was delivered at the Uiilon League meeting on Friday evening. A want of space forbade our giving It on Saturday, and, as the speech speaks for Itself, we have no com* merits to make; - Allow me to thank you for this hearty demonstra tion of your good will. You are applauding tho progress or Ameriaan civilization in tho nineteenth century, which may be observed everywhere In the. general improvement of public sentiment, whies 'has 80 emphatically swept away the Dred-Soott monstrosity, andwhlchmakes It posslblefor a oolorad man to hold a position other than that of a depen dent.' He hoped, the day Is not far distant when reason and justice will take the place of an igno rant, Silly, and orael prejudice, wMoli denies us our rights as oitlzenß, and yet drafts and forces colored men to fight to secure and perpetuate the liberty and rights of a people who persistently wrest from them those rights they have so willingly laid their lives on the altar of their oonntry to secure, [Applause.] As Mb name had been mentioned in oonneotlon with the Supreme Court of the United States, he wished to say that in this matter he had taken bat little credit to himself. It was not simply his-suc cess, but-the success of a great caose, based upetr eternal tenth and justice. [Applause.] Every colored man who had been enterprising, honest, and Industrious, has contributed his mite, and the ser vices of thefriendsof the race have been invalua ble. He would take this opportunity to thank their Iriends for what they have done, and ho hoped they would never relax their efforts until complete jus tice and equality before the law shall be awarded to them. He dnly approolatad the Dred Seottdeei slolt— a decision which even a Jeffries would have shrunk from—but he now thanked- CH>d that the - court had been.redeemed. [Applause ] This in famy has been Chaso-a away. [Continued ap- SJS-] It was the grandest step which the nation taken. He thought they ought to thank Odd take courage. [Applause.] : He regarded the question Of the citizenship of the negro as. -settled. ' Heretofore, If ta» p-i L-k i.. Sued a prociaination. OT congress passed any law Which seemed to, favor liberty, there has always b^emsome doubts as to Its constitutionality,'and the Copperheads would say, “It remains yet to be seen what the Supreme Court will do;” or, “The Su preme Court has yet to speak;” and from its pro slavery bids heretofore we always had good reason to believe that its decisions would not be on the Bide of humanity. Nowit has thundered forth its trumpet blast, arid bas .not given aa uncertain found. [Applause.] “Hethatlathaueartohear, let him hear.” masses now see that slavery is Incompatible with a free government, and the ques tion with them is what shall be done with the blacks. -The Supreme Court, when questioned on this point, answers promptly, << Follow the example we set you to day—give them their rights, and let' them take the places they are fitted for.” Senator Charles Sumner—God bless him—[loud and long oontinued applause]—when writing to him in rela tion to his admission to the bar, safd.r•“ This will be a new epoch, or, rather, It will help mark' our epoch.” He is right—lt inaugurates a new state of things. There are those who would give them their nominal liberty, and yet deny them their civil rights. They would keep them in their.former eon diuon, so that they may be used. They have no prejudice against the slave—it is only as no rises in the scale, of manhood that he becomes objection able. The black man Is a good fellow while he re mains a slave, and toils for nothing, but the mo ment le claims his own flesh and blood -and bones he becomos repulsive. While he Isa slave he is a dear creature; the white woman rides in the same carriage, the white man sleeps in the same bed, and the white ohlld nurses from the same bosom. [Laughter and applause.] But give the slave his liberty, and|he at onoe becomes loathsome, fit only for a substitute for a disloyal coward, or colonized on some of our southern islands! [Loud applause.] The passage of the act to amend the Constitution was an act over which they were all inexpressibly ; thankful; he hoped It would soon be ratified by three-fonrths of the States. When this is done, all prescriptive laws abolished, and the right of suffrage extended to his race throughout the broad extent of this great Bepublie, his cup of pleasure would be full. [Applause.] fie would then be able to say, as the old maid was reported to have said on tho eve of her marriage: " This is the day I long have sought,' And mourned bseausef found It not. ’ ’ [Uproarious laughter and applause,] There are now two millions of tree men, women and children of color in the United States, and from these two mil lions they have upwards of two hundred thousand soldiers in the field, If the whites had an equal’ proportion, they would have more than two millions of men under arms—enough to wipe Jeff. Davis and Us minions from the face of the earth. Most ef these men were raised without bounty, and served for a long time without pay, and all the time under the most trying circumstances; and yet they have fought so bravely as to challenge the admiration of the civilized world. And yet, when these scarred veterans return home to their families, they are jeered and Insulted, and denied their civil rights. The colored man of this State may carry .the mus ket, but not the ballot! His United States uniform does not guarantee him any respect. He cannot even ride In your city oars, but must, Uke tho rest of us,male and female, either stand on the platform with the driver,[or not ride at all. In most, if not all the railroads leading west and south from this city, colored people must either ride In the “ Jim Crow ’’ -or the'“smoking oar,” and pay full fate for this ex- - elusive privilege. A few days ago I found a United States soldier with his,musket stationed at the smoking oar at the “Baltimore depot” in this city, to enforoe theße rules. -Not long since, at the West Chester depot, eighteenth and Market streets,’ I saw pasted up in large letters In a frame in the-de pot, and also in the cars, this sign, which speaks more eloquently than I can, of our civilization: “Colored persons are requested to take-the back seats in the passenger cars, or the passenger seats into e eeggage cars.” .Every colored man who goes to Washington must, .before, leaving our national Ccpitil, which has been falsely reportedfree, run around to find the Provost Marshal's office,, to tee If he is enrolled, and then to the office of the tolltta ry Governor to get a pass before he ean leave the city! This outrage Is only upon colored men, and it is painful to hear that It comes direct from the War Department. (Shame, shame!) These are not a tithe of all the outrages heaped upon us. I shall protest against them as long as God gives me the ability, or until they shall cease, and I believe yon will do the same. [Applause.] There fa now a great talk about reconstruction, end the nation seems to be perfectly wilting to let those rebels who choose to lay down their arms come, back with their hands dripping’in the life blood of your fathers, husbands, and- brothers, and you will receive them Into tall fellowship I The man who'deliberately murders another In eoldblood you consign to the gallows, and, if pardoned,[yon would, shrink from the murderer ! But those who not only maliciously, wickedly, and “with ’malioe aforethought,” minder and destroy all they can, and strike at the very life of the nation—these you will take'-to-your bosoms. But the negro, who nas always been your, friend; who never- did you a wrong j who, in the. hour of your danger, when the Issue was critical, and when the loyal men of the North hesitated—forgot two centuries of outrage and oppression, came gallantly forward, and "made himteu a willing sacrifice for the nation—him you are not ready to acknowledge and treat as well as your murdereißl I have faith in God and justice, and I believe you cannot much longer withhold from us our rights. They must come, as certain as the asAaylight succeeds the darkness. [Applause.] There is now a great talk about the rebels arming the negroes, and the question continually asked Is, “ Wllfthe colored people of the South fight' for the rebels 1” TMb is now a serious question for the rebels, will, no doubt, as a dernier resort, try the experiment. I think they are a little too late to be materially[benefitted by tbelrservlooß. [Applause.] -If Jeff Davis had only Issued a proclamation of freedom, 1 1 believe the blacks would have rallled uuder- too Confederate flag. For a long time the. Union offictrs.and soldiers were more cruel to the colored people than, the rebels; now, as a general rule a different state of thing exists. The Patter sons, the Fitz John Porters,-the McClellans, and tho Bankscs are out or the way. [Applause’] And to-day, 1 believe, the chief part of our army is loyal. [Applause.] , , It is too late now toarea the slaves or to emanci pate them. It Is said twt nothing succeeds well but wbat is done in season; and that the wise man does at first what the fool must do at last. I do not doubt but that they will oonsorlpt them, and that the blacks, like many Union white men who,have, been pressed into the rebel service, will fight when they cannot help themselves ; but 1 expect to see them come Into our lines in companies and brigades, as opportunity offers. [Applause ] I have no doubt about results; our progress, though not as rapid as I ceuld wish, Is magnificent. Evciy day seems almost to be an erainjthe history of our country. Bepubllcan Institutions are now on trial, and the despotisms of the Old World are rejoicing over what they hope will prove tho utter fallacy of demoeratleal Institutions, but I will trust our cause to God, our brave soldleis, and to you; and I think you have already decided, that this country must and shall be free. - TApplause.] J would now have every maffjboldjand firm. The • statne of Liberty is now about to be oast. In the language of Danton: The metal Is already boiling. Let us go down South again, in our might, on an. other peace mission. Let us take canister, shot and shell—amiable and reliable peacemakers—and at one blow blot out all rebels, conspirators, and trai tors. [Applause] Let us strike them as with a thunderbolt, that they may never rise to pollute the’ soil of Liberty.. [Applause.] Black men want their liberty and their rights— nothing more, and nothing less. Icansay,.wlthDryden: , *• O, sive mo Liberty! For were e’en Paradise itself my prison, Still I should lona to leap the crystal walls. ” _• [Applause.] RECRUITING. Warrants for the payment of the city bounty .was issued to 78 men, of whom 2 enlisted for three years, 1 for two years, and 75 for one year. The credits on Saturday’s rolls were as follows : First ward, 5; Second ward, 17; Third ward, 2 ; Fifth ward, 1; Seventh ward, 1: Eighth ward, 1 j Ninth ward, 10; Tenth ward, 8; Eleventh ward, S; Twelfth ward, 28; Thirteenth ward, 9 ; Fourteenth ward, 2; Six teenth ward, 2; Eighteenth ward, 11; Nineteenth ward, 2 s Twentieth ward, 2; Twenty-third ward, 3; and Twenty-fourth ward, : 7. The above, it should be stated, -is exclusive of the recruiting-for Han cock’s veteran Corps. In that corps during the part track su> merr were mustered. The success wbioh has attended'the recruiting of the-Blrney Brigade shows how much oan be accomplished by ekillfol management. Chief Franklin Informs us that if the patriotism and military spirit continue, there willbe no difficulty in raising two regiments per week. DESERTION And capture. Quite an exciting chase of two men, who were at tempting to desert from the army, took place on Saturday afternoon, in the neighborhood of Third and Walnut Streets. A squad of Taw recruits and substitutes was brought from Camp Cadwalader In charge of a guard, and, while passing down Wal nut street, near Third, two of the.nnmber dropped their knapsaoks and overooats, and ran down Third at full speed. Tw» of the guard gave chase, fol lowed by a crowd. One of the deserters took refuge in St. Paul's Church, which was open for funeral services, and he was secured. The other ran up Willing’s alley* and made his escape. GIRARD COLLEGE. A number of Complaints have been made by mo thers having orphan children at Q-lrard College at the recent resolution of the Board of Directors, which*, according to custom, oughf to be to-morrow!

Another GOrarr Treasurer's Save Roßßan. —On Friday night last the office of the Treasurer of Do Kalb county, at Sycamore, Illinois, was en tered .by burglars, and the safe blown open with powder, and robbed of a large amount of money. The safe Was furnished the county, about one year ago, by Blebold; Bahman, & Co., Olneinnatl, as a Burglar and Fire-Proof Safo.havlng Inside a steel ohest, with Covert’s patent Jock. The safe has proved a bad failure as to being burglar-proof.; i The mode of operating upon the safe seems to save been similar to that upon a safe of the same Und and make In the county treasurer’s office at Adrian, Michigan, whloh was robbed last week of over *20,c00. In this safe at Sycamore the bottom of the steel chest was driven away from the door so as to leave an inch of space the full length. The frequency of safe robberies is certainly be coming alarming to business men. Scarcely a day passes but we see the record of some new oaso, and the half of them do not probably reach the public journals. We fear that too often a foolish economy la practiced in the purchase of safes; In order to save a few dollars .In the first eost of a safe many thousands are loßt through the luseenrity or safes that have no claim to burglar-proof protection.— From the Chicago Post, February 21. P. S.—lt will be understood that it is the steel safe with the Covert lock that one Bacon has been trying to introduce in this vicinity. mht-emw3t A Popular Article with thb liAdibs.—We have already taken occasion to speak In approving terms of the celebrated “Eureka Zephyr,” of which Air.

In fibre It Is almost equal to the Imported article, while In colors, even to the most delicate shading, It has never been surpassed, and the colors, moreover, are quite equal to thcAfronnan Zephyrs iu preserving their brilliancy. NoristhlsaU. The great economy of using the “ Eureka Zephyr ’’—being fully fifty per cent, cheaper than tbejmported Zephyrs—ls another consideration which should not be overlooked; nor Is It, If we may judge from the Immense sale which the “Eureka” has attained. For all purposes to which Zephyrs are applied, this splendid substitute Is found to be as desirable as Its Imported rival, and being sold at one half the price, we are not surprised to hear or the enormous sales which; In Mr. Finn’s competent hands, It has attained.
