SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1865. New Publications. Two very pleasant boohs, very popular In their day, have just boon republished by Ashmeal & Evans. These are Miss Edgeworth’s "Moral Tales,” with original designs by Darley, and her “Popular Tales,” illustrated by Orooma. They are, neatly got up, in handsome bindings, and are safe family reading. The same publishers have brought out a filth edition, revised and enlarged, of Eliza beth Nicholson’s Eoonomioal Cook Book (a Home Manual), which has the advantage of being oom pact and low-priced. We cannot say muoh In of it. Some of thyooelpts are oddly named; thus we' have “M. A. B,’a MUkßlßoutt” and “O. B.’s Soda Cake.” There are no directions for making. Mush room Catsup, which Is almost exclusively used In En gland, and by foreigners here, when they can get;lt. The book abounds in little puffs or particular articles. A coffee-pot Is thUB mentioned; also, an “Extem pore Cook;” an air-tight fruit jar ongravlng is given, as well as the manufacturers’ names and ad. dress; a gas cooking apparatus, materials forGre olan painting, and garden furniture are also duly Credited to especial vendors, whose names and plac es of business are given in full. On the llth of February, 1885, Mr. Charles J. Biddle, specially appointed for that purpose, by.the bar of Philadelphia, delivered an eulogy upon the late Mr. G. M. Dallas, one of the oldest and most ’ distinguished members of-the legal profession In this State. At the request - , of the bar, Mr. Biddle has allowed this eulogy to be published in pamphlet form. We have read it with satisfaction, for It tolls the story of Mr. Dallas’ life in the clearest manner tracing It from Its ancestral connections down to Its termination, and "allowing his own words and'ac tions to Bhoy his personal and public character. A a biographical sketch it is at ’ once' luold and full without being diffuse. Mr. Biddle States that he ue rived some of his Information from a diary, in which, at various periods of his life, he entoredhis thoughts and observations—a diary " Intended, pro bably, only for his own eye, or that of domestic affection." We also learn “that Mr. Dallas had prepared for publication a work; which heentitled «A Series of Letters from London, written during the years 1856, ’57, ’6B, ’59, and ’Bo,’ by George. MlfillnSDallas, then Minister of the United States at the British court. These .letters were distinct from Ms official despatches and correspondence, and embrace a greater variety of topics." We presume that this work will be published, and shall be highly pleased if it is only half as instruc tive and entertaining as the late Mr. Richard Rush’s "Memoranda of a Residence at the Court of London.” In the absence of any extended bio graphy of Mr. Dallas, we reoommend Mr. Biddle’s " Eulogy” as giving a reliable and spirited shetoh o his career anil character. T, B. Peterson & Brothers have added two works, with engravings from Darley’s designs, and illumi nated oovers, to their popular Library of Humor ous American Works. These are " The Adventures of Fudge Fumble,” by the author of the " Arkansas : Doctor,” and “Mysteries of tho Backwoods,” by T. B. Thorpe, author or “ Tom Owon, the'Bee Hun ter.” For quaint humor, racy If rough, commend us to the series of wMoh these volumes are a por tion. 1 The English shilling magazines (received from .T. .T. Kromor, 403 Chestnut street,) continue to keep the leading novelists and essayists of England well employed. In Temple Bor, for April, Miss Braddon continues her new novel, “ Sir Jasper’s - Tenant,” which, so far, Is the best she has yet written; W. G, WIUb carries on hls serial story, " David Chan-_ trey;” Edmund Y.tes commences a new and very promislng.romance entitled “ Land at Last,” and G. A. Sala, In the new number of Mb “ Streets of the World,” sketches from Clinton Place.lnto Broadway. lit the St. Jama’ Magazine, MISS Brad don has another serial novel, called« ’ Only a Olod,” and there is a translation of a-Prench tala by Paul Feval, “Working in the Dark, a romance.or the. Black Coats.” The CmmhUl-Magazine, Willed ha? not sustained the reputation it gained wMle edited by Thackeray, has Wilkie Collins’ impressive story of "Armadale” as a piece ch: resistance, and relies, also, on “Wives and Daughters,” by Mrs. Gaskoll. Its general contents are heavy, except a review of Napoleon’s “Life ol Julius Caesar,” wMoh is so severe that the author of the.book, as imperious as he Is Imperial, has seized every copy of the Maga zine that reached Paris by post. Of the American magazines, we have received advance eopiOß of two (Atlantic Monthly and Our Young Folks,) from T. B. Pugh, Sixth.and Chest nut, and Godey's Lady's Book, and the Ladies' Friend, from the respective publishers. The last named are good specimens ol tMs class; Godey's Is especially good, and the engravings equal to hls best.. . - ■■. Tho best account of the late President’s career, particularly of Ms early life, Is .to be fouad In “ Tho Pioneer - Boy;” by William M. Thayer, delved from Information supplied by Mr. LinbolnAdmself. It has already been noticed by The Press, and Is published by Walker, Fuller, & Co,, who announce a companion volume, “Thoughts that, will Live,” being memorable sentenoeg-from the Addresses, Speeches, and other writings of the great and la mented martyr.patrfot. The same publishers have a variety of other new and valuable works. News of Literature. (From the American Publishers’ Circular and Literary Gazette. 1 Autographs.— The Peris correspondent- alludes* to “ Autographs in Eranoe and Abroad,” by M, de Leseure, and says: “It contains these chapters: A retrospective re view of autographs; the golden hook of ouriosity; autograph hunting; autograph trade;, history of the hook and autograph auction hall, with list of celebrated sales thorn 1803 to 1864; foreign sales of autographß; judicial history of autographs; the (tee-masonry of autography; list of the chief auto graph collectors In Francs and abroad; the deside rata; hobbies ; bibliography.of the .amateur of. auto-- gtaphß; and the volume ends with a collection of curloue unpublished letters from eminent people. The prioe is eight francs.” The literary men of Paris have had an audience of the French Emperor to pray him to protect their Interests, so seriously menaced by the rejection of the perpetual copyright bill by the Council of State. - Editions oi 50f., 10f., St, 3f. SO, and SO oentlmos of the French Emperor’s “ Life of Gseiar” 'will be published in the course of time. It is said the French Aoademy will elect the- Flench Emperor a member Immediately-- after the publication of the “ Eire of Csesar.” M. Le Mon nier, of Florence, will publish the Italian edition of this work; he gives *8,400 for the copyright; his ri val, (M. Barbara) offered $7,200. M. Mlnervi is the translator. It is said he owes his selection to Herr Mommsen, the German historian. -I am afraid to hazard mention of the amount of money which rumor asserts the French Emperor has spent onhiswork. The construction of the famous tri reme, built that he might understand the anelent galley,~CoSts6Q.W9 j letter-pressAasbCf® set up twenty-two times. He pays" ill • I6*»i HttiOgff .Ht oi his privy purse. The first volume will contain two books devoted to these gubjeots; Book First: Home before Caesar; Borne under the Kings (front thefonnaatlon of the city to 244) ; Establisnmont of the Consular Republic (244-41) 6; Conquest of Ita ly (418-488) ; Prosperity of Mediterranean Littoral befoie the Punic Wars; Punic Wars of Macedonia and Asia (488-821) ; the GraoohL Marius and SyUa (821-676). Book 2 : History of Julius Gtesar (654- 695- ) —Paris Correspondence. Eight editions, each of 2,soooopiei, of the Bishop (Dupanloup) oi Orleans’ pamphlet hare been sold. M. Fsonwsouhia oompletedbefore his death the manuscript of a work on “The Political Capacity of the Laboring Olasses several works on art; and a “ Manual of Political Economy.” His friends reckon upon raising by public subscription enough money to purchase for his wife and children an an nuity Of $6OO. Mas. Ratazzi (better known as the Princess de Solms, the daughter of Mr, Wyse, sometime British ambassador at Athens, and a Princess Bona parte: Irish and Corsican blood !) has written a 'novel; “ The Creole’s Marriages,” ‘which has ; boon Interdicted-in France. M. Guizot Is correcting the last proof-sheets of i theseventh volume of his Memoirs; the next volume 'will complete the work. He is also correcting the second part of his " Meditations on the Christian Religion.” M. Mbtebbbbe’s musical Übrary, wMoh .hftd hitherto been scattered in his various abodes on the Continent, has been collected at Berlin. It is said to be of great value.

THE SENTIMENTS OF PAROLED REBELS. EXTENT OF THE FIRE IN PETERSBURG. THE VISIT OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN 1 (HABITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD [Special Correspondence of The Presz. 1 - PSTBSSBURO, April 19,1805 JUBILANT TRAITORS, It matters not where I may' go, whether stopping in tow ns or cities, or'paSßlng through the country, tbe unfeigned grlaf of an affUqted people, caused by the assassination, of President 'Linooln, Is every where manifested by loyal hearts. There Is no dis guising the fact that the paroled rebel officers and soldiers, strutting abont In their trea sonable uniforms, even wearing their red sashes, swords, and pistols, evince the most jubilant mani festations of satisfaction. Such exMbltlons were always offensive to the soldiers of the .Union, but since the murder of tho fountainhead of loyalty, by the conspiracy of treason, they have become afi outrage upon the feelings of our patriot Every consideration of right, as well as justice to the memory ofthe venerated dead, and respect for the feelings of living heroes, demands that these ar rogant ; rebels, who. are hourly declaring that, as soon as they are exchanged, they are resolved to enter the! field In behalf of Jeff Davis, should bs stripped of the villainous gray in wMch they da lighted to.mtyrder soldiers of tho Union,aud the oolor stamped with infamy. , •THU 00L03SD TBOOPS. I would state that, as a historical fact wor thy of special mention, the colored troops of Bri adlor Gen srai Wm. Blrney’e division were the first to enter Petersburg. The Tth United States Colored Troops, recruited In Maryland, and the Bth United States Colored Troops, recruited In Phila delphia. were tne advance forces to occupy this city. It must be ..a source of great gratification to the friends of tMs element of Union strength to be as- Bured that,the first organizations to enter these strongholdßOfthe rebellion, Richmond and Peters burg, were colored troops.

This division, wbieh is the 2d In the 35th Corps, re turned td this vlolntty yesterday afternoon, haying participated la the vigorous campaign which has crowned the Army of the Potomac with Immortal glory. The division was temporarily attached to it with Turner’s division, under the command of Gen. Ors. THE BIRR IN TRTRRSBUBG* The • fire here was not as destructive as in Richmond. The rebels satisfied themselves with burning the Central Warehouse, West Hill Ware house, Norfolk depot, Rowlet’s lumber-house, Pooa hontas bridge, a pontoon bridge, a bridge leading from the Soutbaldo yard over to finishing shops of the Sonthslde Railroad,and Cammel’s bridge. Tbe combined efforts ofthe firemen and the soldiers soon extinguished tbeJames and saved a beautlful-nlty ftom destruction. ■ VISIT-OF THB LATR PRRBIDBNT. The visit of President Lincoln and Gen. Grant to this elty on tbe first day of its occupation by our lbroes was no doubt Intended as an exemplification of that leniency wMch characterized the policy of the late CMef Magistrate. They were both enthu siastically received, and stopped at the residence of Thomas Wallace,who was suddenly transformed into a Union man by the magic influence of triumphant bayonets. - THE COLORED PBOFLE. The .colored people being aware that the city would. be 'efaouated on the evening of tbe 24 of April, and fearing that the rebels would drive them before them, passed the night in the negro churohes, where they remained until they saw the colored soliyers arresting rebel soldiers found In the elty. Notwithstanding this city has been purified -by a new order of things, there are some guerillas In this and other counties adjacent, who are prowling about plundering the people and tearing up the railroader During the period of rebel . rule, It was a common occurrence for these*- Goi!-overlooked wretches of to knock down citizens and rob them, or promlso to conduct negroes through the lines, and meeting them at an appointed plaoe, they having changed all their Confederate money and propertr'lfiß> greenbacks or gold and silver, would not only plunder tiom or everything, but actually hand them over to the rebel authorities for attempt ing to run the blockade. ;. ROBBING THE BRAD. These vandals have even In this city gone to the vaults of the dead’ and stripped them of their elotMng and such lewelry as they were burled in. Not Mug can exceed the depravity and Infamy of this class, either In their treatment to their own people or their barbarism to ours, FOIIOB REGULATIONS. j. Since the'occupation by the Union forces Peters, burg hasnevor been-so quiet or orderly as Is now being experienced, Tpe regulations of the authori ties are .ouch as to insure the,-safety and property of.clttseps. The difference between law and order, whlchjthe' clrizeps ; are ,nbw’enjoying, and the bold robbery, which was openly enacted under the Davis rule, cannot help but make a favorable impression upon the minds of all reasonable persons. /It was-hardly possible to conceive of the extent of corruptlon porvading ail classes of rebels from pri vates; to generate. They could be bought to run either colored of white persona through the lines. So rotten has been the whole concern;that it is gene rally believed that even Jeff Davisoould be induced to aid the escape of persons through the lines for a respectable consideration. EFFECTS OF WAR. As an evidence of how much the war has affected many persons -here, I know a slaveholder, who, at the beginning of the rebellion, purchased a beauti- ful residence on Long Market street at a cost of twenty thousand dollars, paying five thousand dol lars down, with the privilege of paying the balance alter the war. When we captured Richmond this man was there, and was obliged to borrow money from the Ipusbandof a woman whom he owns to pay his fare from Richmond to Petersburg. Oh! how have the mighty fallen! VS2XXHTO THE HTTKGBY, The military authorities, with that mingled mag nanimity.and .charity whioh have marked the ad vance of,'the Union army, and its treatment of Its enemies, Are Issuing rations to those upon whom the misfortunes of war have brought so much suffering and destitution. Many who,;no doubt, were blatant rebels three weeks ago, are earing the bread of loy alty with A relish of satisfaction, if not with thanks. The crowd -ground the cymmissary te a graphic ip. Initiation if the” madness in* which these peopis have been indulging for the last four years. The white men who apply for substetenoo are mostly paroled prisoners, but the stream of women seems continuous. If one were to judge by their dress, very few of them would be regarded as objects of charity. Many of them come In silks, and are other wise respectably attired, and. In some Instances bring a few/flowers for the obliging clerks behind the connter. In. such cases It would not be surpri* jug If the scales went down a-little heavier than generally marks the routine of issuing rations. The commissary Is located on Old street, where the oha* rityof the Government, like the mercy of Heaven, is being distributed alike to the just and the unjust. HOW LOYALTY IS OBBTIFIBJJ TO. . It IS a sourorof great regret that the former mem bers of the Common Council of this olty, who were always the enemy of the loyal blaoks, and the friends of the rebel whites, have been designated to determine those who are destitute, and are In need of subsistence. -Of course, all those who were the most bitter against the. Government have no diffi. culty ln gettlng the necessary papers or endorse ments from these extemporized Union men. Color* ed persons, whose loyalty was never donbted, and whom the rebels hated because It was known they' never'invested any faith In their cause, have to very many instances been refused, or obtained the neces sary signatures 1 under a great deal of difficulty. And when they did piesent.their papers, properly au thenticated, they only received pork and oora << meal, while rebels In uniform and persons of known trea 'sonable sentiments were drawing pork, meal, flour, ‘beans, coffee, and sugar. ’ 1 Immediately called the attention of Major Gen. Geo. Li. Harts off to this unjust discrimination, who Immediately conferred with Brevet Major Gen. Ferrero, commanding thij city, and Captain Asa Gregory, his commissary of subsistence. To Gen. Hartsuff’s credit it must be recorded, that In three hours from the moment that It was first Intimated to him, the .distinction was promptly suppressed, and the loyal blacks were re ceiving an equality of rations. The major general commanding was entirely Ignorant of this Injustice, until It was biought to hls notice, but the prompt manner In whleh he remedied It evinces that Im partial spirit which should be the animating senti ment of all In authority. - ~ ’ It must h? fgnftssed that the Individual who grvea to the whites the pieces of paper upon which the exact amounts to be drawn are written, which, of| course, he Inscribes, is dressed in rebel uniform, and only a day or two ago was inoneoftheßlch mjond batteries In arms against the Government, the amount of whose rations he now has the satis faction of designating to hls disloyal brethren. This may be regarded a rapid restoration to favor, and, should toe same spirit Increase In all other re spects In a similar proportion, how long would It be before Jeff Davlf Is President 1 |Gens, Hartsuff and Ferrero wlll, 80 for as Ine qualitlea oome to their'notice, 1 without regard to color, depl justly with all classes of persons. Sub ordihatfes will not be tolerated In the exercise of their negro-hating prejudices as one of the means or working off the ebullitions of their effervescent spirit of disloyalty. - i It is but just to General Welted to say that while he was in command at Bfohmond his administration was marked with that impartiality whleh an honest heart never fails to approve. In a former despatch the words, 11 the colored troops are not aUowei to pass through the city” (Btchmond), need a little ven tilation. Ho soldiers wore permitted to enter the' okty except those designated to do provost-guard duty. I now learn from reliable authority that suoh a oonrse was proposed to allay excitement—-to save the troops from a long maroh, and to ordorto enable y-em to move at once to their plaoes without passing / through the city. The reason that rebel officers and soldiers were not divested of their uniforms under the governorship of General Shepley was not be cause this gallant offloer did not reoognlzo the pro priety of snoh a course, but rather tolerated them in order that he might the more readily capture cer tain cMeftaios who had forfeited their right to be at liberty. It Is also due to General Weltzel to acknowledge that he is net aware that airs. General Lee ever had a guard over her property, and that, if a white one was substituted for a colored one, he Is entirely ignorant of the faot. General Weltzel Is the pride of the 25th Corps, both among the offloers andmen, who believe Mm incapable of doing wrong to the former or Injußtloe to the latter. With Ms honest nature ever manifesting itself through the simpli city of Ms character and the modesty of hls great ness, he will ever receive the admiration of those, who are capable of appreciating manly virtues and valor. RobLiN. FOBIBESS HOHB9E. AN UNKNOWN TRANSPORT WRBOKBD, Fortress Monrob, April 19.—The schooner Eliza Neal-arrived here this morning, and reports haring seen, on tho 18th Instant, at two o’clock F. M., a steamer (propeller) ashore at Oregon Inlet, 85 miles north of Cape Hattora3, flying her ensign onion down. Appearances indicated that she had just gone ashore. About 100 men had just been taken off tho steamer, and boats wereatlll removing the troops, with wMoh she was loaded. The wind at the time was southwest, Bea smooth, and the Steamer seemed to be lying easy. OREBMONIBit AT FORTRESS MONROB— ARRESTS OF SUSFBOTBD FARTIBS. Tbe funeral ceremonies of the late CMef Magis trate ofthe nation Were appropriately Bolemnized here, this morning. A large meeting, composed of army and navy officers, the clerks of the various departments at this place, and a number of visitors from Norfolk and Portsmouth, was: held on the piece of ground where tbe old Hy giene Hotel for merly stood. Dr. Craven, medioal director of .this post, was chosen president, and twelve distinguished officers and citizens were appointed,vice presidents. After a prayer by the Rev. E. F. MOore, of West Chester, Pa., Charlton Lewis, Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y., delivered a very able discourse on the death of our lamented President, and the immediate re sults bearing upon Ms decease. A series of resolu tions, having for their purport the expression of the general sorrow and gloom oast over the nation, and exhorting each and every citizen to abstain from all thought of vengeance and retaliation, were then read by Mr. Janeway, assistant medical director, and at a o’olock P. M. the meeting solemnly dis persed. ’ In connection with the terrible plot wMcb led to the assassination of the President, the arrest of some parties well known at this place, who fora long time past have been accumulating wealth and been tbe recipients of untold favors irom the bands of the Government, is calculated to tend tnsome slight degree to unravel the profound mystery which at present seems to overshadow the event. HOIIE.AND FOBM«» NOTES. A sturdy sergeant of one of onr Massachusetts regiments being obliged to submit to the amputa tion of Ms band, the surgeon offered to admlMster phloroform; but the veteran refused, saying: “If cutting was to be done.on him he wanted to sea it,” and, laying fils arm on,the table, submitted to the operation without a sign of pain, except a firmer. setting of the teeth as the saw struck the marrow. Tho operator, os be finished, looked at Ms victim with admiration, and remarked: “ You ought to have been a surgeon, my man.” “ I was the' next thing to one afore I enlisted,” said the hero. “What was that 1" asked the doctor. “A batcher 1” re- sponded the sergeant, with a smile, wMch, despite the surroundings, communicated itself to tbe by- standers. Many people think that the peculiar fanoy names wMch were In vogue for drinks a few years since were particularly our Invention, But long be fore the days of WMsky-sklns, StoneJenoes, and Eye-openers, there were snoh names for drinks of the middle ages. In the old work, “De Generibns Inebriosorum etEbrietate Kltanda,” published in 1515, we find the following among others: Gow’s-- tail, Calves-neck, Slip-slop, Stamp-In.the.asbes, Knock’em-down," Orowing-cock, Wild-oats, Red head, Swell-nose, Gnat’s mustard, and Raf Se-head.
