New York : James G. Gregory, 1803 ; Jno. Bradburn, (successor to M. Dooludy), 49 Walker street, 1860. • We have received from Messrs. Schreiner & Sons, a copy of the above work. In the lauguage of the authoress, “this is the story •fa foolish woman, who, through her owu folly, learnt wisdom at last;” and yet we don’t think that Elizabeth was a very foolish woman after all. Slu was a young and thoughtless girl. The world was to her, as to most young people, full of joy and hope and beauty; and yet, her mother, now a widow, having married a French Pasteur, she is immersed in a Puritanical dwelling, kept away from the man she loved, from the worldly pleasures she sighed for, and wit nessing nothing but religious devotions, hearing nothing but pious discourses and rebukes, because her gay, young spirit would not permit her to play the hypocrite and pretend a part which did not belong to her. The consequeneo of this conduct was that when she found an opportunity, she would slip out and take clandestine walks and rides with Sir John Dampicr, the man upon whom her affections had been placed—his only object being to give her recreation, and not supposing at first that he was doing wroug, and fixing up trouble for our young heroine—he, all the while, being engaged to nuother young lady whom he did not love. After a variety of contretemps, however, all works right. Elizabeth marries Sir John, and all ends well. We do not wish to be understood as objecting to religious and moral training for the young; but only to that Puritanical system which would de prive them of all pleasure, confine them to lives of seclusion and austerity, and frown upon every feeling of our nature that docs not come up to the rules of that system, i The result of such training will almost always bo found to be the reverse of that intended; and the victims of it are more apt *to go astray than those who are raised with more leniency and more wisdom. The story of Elizabeth is very interesting a fine moral sentiment pervading its pages, and is told with an originality of style, and case and grace that are peculiarly pleasing It is tho first of Miss Thackeray’s works that we have read; and it has very favorably impressed us. We are sure that it will meet with popular favor. The Cruise of the Alabama and the SUmter : from the private journals and other papers of Commodore It. Semmes, C. S. N., and other officers ; two volumes in one; Now York, Carlcton, Publisher, No. 413 Broadway ; London : launders Otley & Cos., 1865. We have already alluded to this work ; but wo deem it not out of place to call the attention of our readers to it again. It is a narrative of the celebrated Confederate cruisers, Sumter and Alabama, by their gallant Commander, Captain Semmes and his officers. It is written in a most agreea ble style, and is full of thrilling interest Asa record of the late war, it is of impor tance for present use and future reference and should find a place in every library and on every centre table. The Southern peo ple, having been shut out, in a great meas ure, from the outside world, during the war, it was only occasionally that they could hear of the operations of their so called Navy. This book fills up a portion of this gap in the history of that period, and a highly interesting period, and we take pleasuM in recommending its perusal. The booK can be obtained of Messrs. Quinn Bros., at the Literary Depot, 137 Broad street. Olustke Battlefield. —The bones of the soldiers killed at the battle of Olustee, having become so exposed as to shock the sensibility of visitors, Lieut. Groveman, U. S.

Galveston and other Texas cities are full to overflowing, and the same is said of Memphis, Mobile, Montgomery, Au gusta, Atlanta, and all the towns of the southwest. —A gentleman wishing to get rid of an unwelcome visitor, and not liking to tell him, “there’s the door,” qualified it thus, “ Elevate your golgotha to the summit ol your pericranium, and allow me to present to your ocular demon stration the scientific piece of mechanism ■which forms the egress portion of this apartment.” —On the arrival of Governor Hum phreys, that battle-scarred veteran of the Confederacy, at Vicksburg, a few days since, an artillery salute was fired by order of Gen.

He is generally known as the nigger. —lt is thought that the Virginia tc hacco crop will be about one-third of what it was before the war. —Death must press heavily on that man, who, too well known to others, dies in ignorance of himself. —Shopping is woman’s only consola tion when she has no money to spend.
