oar 0DDs," BIZ BARONESS TAUTPHoeUs.-
The author Of the book who Is already well
known to the American public by the two
novels " Quits," and THE Initials" gives as
an apology for her work the announcement
that she does not instruct, but merely relates.
Most people are apt to fancy that perhaps
the latter is the higher and less frequent
gift, and if Madame Baroness can do the one
she will infaIlibly, if not uncOnsciously do
the latter. The books bearing her super
scription deserve the attention of our readers.
We have extremely angular views of Ger
many and German institutions. Our philog-
ical friend who has studied. at Bonn or
Heidelberg would make US believe that Teu-
tOnism was a sort of pOlyglOt state of phi
losophy with here and there a glittering and
impracticable idea on political liberty that
would amuse a Yankee district school boy
hugely. The dilettsnti musicians who have
seen Germany only through the small end of
a trombone, or imprisoned in the voluminous
catgut of their viOlins regard the whole peo-
pie as a mobilize orchestry wherein every one
is absorbed in some ethereal inspiration of a
harmonic character. Politicians only regard
the German as a gentleman to be caressed,
fattered, and to be used and the conse-
quence is that our young people have an idea,
a confused medley of Kant-Schlegel-Schyl-
ler-"Divine-G nths"- Saint Cecilisnism over
laid with Karl Schurz- General sigel-R Rebel
on-Of-FOrty-eightism which, in justice
to the humanity and social feelings of our
German friends, we ought to get rid of. It
will take a deluge of novels from the Ger
man with all the ability in them that can be
put there to make us heartily appreciate
that they really live and think on most sub
jects very much as we do that they fall in
love, firt, eoquette, marry and are given in
marriage very properly, and with all
the human weakness of their An
gIian and American cousins, by means
of their guttursls and umlauts. A
novel will open our eyes. We must study
them by means of novels just as the classical
scholar does the Greeks and Romans, by
means of GaIlUs and Charicles. But the Teu-
tonic Gallus must be a eOnsumedly interest
ing One,-it must be full of modern life, and
modern passions, and we think that the pres
emit lady with the ugly name has written such
a work. 1t is easily seen to be a woman's
essay. There is too much of the minor key
about it to deceive any one into the belief
that the Baroness ever could have worn trOW-
sers aud waistcOats with propriety.
We commend the book to our readers and
hope that it will be successful enough to
draw out many others.

BOsToN, May 25.
The Governor Of Ohio has made applica-
ton to Governor Andrew to have Ohio men
appointed officers in the colored regiments
in proportion to the number Of men fur
nished by that State.
Advices from Ohio show that recruiting
for these regiments is more successful
than was anticipated.
At q meeting of the Emancipation
League in fremont Temple this evening, a
discussion took place betseeu Senator Will
son and Wendell Phillips, on the action Of
the United States Senate and the Admin
istration, relative to officers who had mani
tested unfriendly feelings towards negro
enlistment and the Emancipation Policy.
Phillips charged that the Senate had never
put its ban on any such officer. Mr.. Will
son denied the assertion, and said that it
had often been done. Phillips said, if SO,
the public had no knowledge Of it, and,
therefore, the act was Of no public value.
The only case coming to public knowl-
edge was that Of General Stephenson who
was promoted instead Of being rejected.
Mr.. Watson said Stevenson was confirmed
on the express and urgent recommends
ton of General Hunter, in whom anti
slavery men had great confidence. The
discussion was quite lengthy and spirited,
but conducted in a friendly manner.

The ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-A large house
assembled to hear Mr.. and Miss Richings
last evening, in =" The Child of the Regi-
ment." Manager EIlsler had gotten the
stage arrangements into splendid order, and
the piece showed to good advantage. Of the
two principal actors nothing can be said
which could at all heighten the enthusiasm
with which they are regarded by a Cleveland
audience. They appeared particularly hap
py in their acting last night, and called forth
long and repeated applause. Mr.. EIlsler
acted the old steward exquisitely, and the
drunken part was enough to make the brain
of even the sober spectator a little unsteady.
The after piece was excellent. The thea
ter seems now to be an established necessity
in our city. Cleveland audiences are no
longer called inappreeiative, since they have
shown themselves so hearty when something
really good is brought before them.
The play tomorrow night is I" Extremes"
and we feel confident of its success.

DISPATCH HE'S.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Interesting Extracts from the

May "A.
The Richmond Wing, of the 21st, says ::
" We have urged that every available
means be employed to prevent a sudden
dash into this city. No earthly attention
has been paid to our suggestions. VOlun-
teer organizations are disbanding. Gen.
eral Winder smiles socially; the President
turns c%Omplacently to the satisfactory con
ditiOn Of affairs in the Department Of Vicks-
burg and r~ejoiees over the superb admin
trative faculties of his pet, Pemberton.
The skies are bright. Sugar is advanc-
ing in price birds sing in Capital Square;
whisky is sold and drank in a thousand
ways all goes merry as a marriage bell;'
nobody is hurt. Allah is great, and the
cOmmandant of the post at Richmond is
his prophet"
The Richmond Enquirer, of the Goth, as
suming that Lee and Hooker will soon
have a battle, in which one or the other
will come in for a d~rubbing, and assuming
tnaJ the 1anKees Will be the victims, says
the result would be the investment of
Washington and the invasion of Maryland.
1t then discusses the proper policy to be
pursued toward Union men in the Border
States, and recommends that they be pun
ished with severity.
General Butler has not arrived here.
The sentence of death pronounced by
court-martial against William S. Burgess,
Thomas Perkins alias Hawkins, and George
Sims, convicted of being rebel spies, has
been approved by the President, and they'll
be hung on Friday, the 29th, at sandusky.
John c. Shore, private 1O9th Illinois,
convicted Of desertiOn, is ordered to be
shot at Sandusky on the same day, the
President having likewise approved his
sentence.

The "GEETLE RAIN."-A sort of thank
full grin came upon the countenances of the
men yesterday afternoon, (the ladies Beamed,
fgrin is a disparaging wOrd,) when the sky
became overcast. Tit watermen drove home
with rash indifference, and put up their mel
ancholy teams, and left their tanks to sigh
in empty inactivity in back yards, and out
of-the-way alleys. Many a farmer We doubt
not, breathed easier, and looked more BucOhc
ally jolly than he had done for a week past.
We heard grave statistic gentlemen e~aleulat-
ing that the shower was, in round figures,
worth 81, 600 per minute. On what meteoro-
logical system of finance they based the in
teresting calculation, we were too modest to
ask, but we give the figures, and believe
them to be, like all Republican mass meet
ings, stated /" rather under than over the ac-
tual amount"

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May 25.
A Washington letter to the Commercial
ssps General Butler has not been ordered
there. Prominent Senators have stated
that all efforts to secure a command for
him prove futile. It is equally improba-
Bile that there will be any Cabinet changes
which viii give him a position, as the Pres
ident has declined to listen to pressure for
the removal Of Stanton or Seward.
Governor Johnson, of Tennessee, OBJ
tanned authority from the War Depart
ment officially approved by Governor
Seymour, to recruit a regiment of cavalry
in this State for service in East Tennes-
see. He has also permission to recruit in
any State where the Executive will sane
ton it. All recruits will be duly credited
to the State in its quota under the draft.
Major Dement, Of the Sd Pennsylvania
cavalry, is to raise and command the reg
iment.

PERsoEAL.-The Reverend George NJ.
StOue, whilom local of the old True Demo
crat, and since in orders in the Baptist min
istry, has been spending some time in the
city. He has passed through a course of the
illogical instruction, and is settled as a
clergyman in a church at Danbury, Connect
lieut.. He spent some time in France and
Germany, and is regarded as an eloquent
and able preacher. George was always a
good boy-two good for the sinful paths of
localism, and we are glad to see him in a
purer sphere ofIabor.

W~AsHIAGIONI May 70,
The fugitive slave, Hall, whose case has
excited much interest in this community
and about whose custody a conflict has
existed between the civil and military
authorities, was to-day enlisted in the
army thus escaping further pursuit byhis
owner.
There is reason to believe that the pres
emit condition Of our affairs abroad is re-
garded as very satisfactory by the State
Department. The Secretary Of the Treas
ury signed warrants to-day placing funds
in the hands Of Paymasters for the pay
of the entire army to the 1st Of the menth.
Nc further pay viii be due the army till
July next.

Discovery OF SKULL.-In grading the
spot where of old the Wiley cottage stood,
the wOrkmen turned up a skull. Whether it
was the property of some Indian who had
laid himself to rest there, or had been
moved thither in the accidental transfer
Of dirt from tho old city burying ground,
which was situated where the Mechanics'
Block now stands, no one took the trouble to
ascertain. The workmen tossed it into the
wagon with the same Indifference manifested
by the grave diggers of Hamlet. We fancy
it might be interesting to any anatOmist to
look up.

have just returned from an extended
tour to the several outposts on the Cum
bsrland. The reports of large rebel forces
il East Tel nassee have been much exag-
Grated, and mostly derived from rebel
sources. Their principal numbers are col
lected in Wayne county, Kentucky, under
Morgan and Wheeler. The report of re-
endorsements to Buckner from Virginia are
not reliable.
Captain Tullays, with a detachment Of
the 44th, who crossed The Cumberland Ford
on a reconnaissance to the Gap, has return
ed. He advanced to the Gap, captured all
their pickets, and inaugurated a panic
among the rebels, who fed in confusion.
Not having sufficient force to venture tax
ing the Notifications, he fell back, where
upon the rebels pursued and attacked him.
Facing about, he again routed them, and
safely re-crossed the river. 1t was a brill
liant and successful dash. Major Foley Of
the 10th Kentucky, reports an engagement
with a party Of Msrshsll's men, under
Major Steward, at West Liberty, in which
he captured some fifteen and routed the
rest.
There are no rebels north Of the Cum
berland. The weather is fine and the SOL
diers in excellent health and spirits.
General Wilcox is carrying out order
No. 3S with a vigOr pleasing to the Union
men, and the reverse to the rebels. Some
thirty rebel ladies have been notified to
join VaIlandigham.

The DEATH OF DE-. ALFRED TAYLOR
The fact of the death of this excellent gen
tleman, who fell from the teamer a short
distance from Louisville, and was drowned,
was announced last Sunday from the pulpit
Of the Third Presbyterian Church, where the
deceased had been a COMMUNICATE. 1t Gre
a.ed a marked feeling of grief in the hearts
of the congregation who had known him so
long, and had occasion to note his many ex-
cellent qualities. He started out in the ser
vicssas Surgeon of the I'd Ohio Cavalary, but
had been transferred, at the instance of the
Surgeon General, to a regiraenti in Tennessee.
Governor Tod telegraphed to his friends the
information of the sad event.

OPENING AT HOVER & HIGBEE's.-Messrs.
Hover d Higbee, who have lone business at
No. 237 Superior street, have now removed
to the adjoining store, No. 239, which they
have enlarged and improved, until it is one
Of the very finest, as we believe it is tie
deepest, Ofany in town. An extension of 80
feet in length has been built upon the rear of
the former salesrOOm, this portion being ad-
mirably fitted up for the dry goods trade.
As soon as the busy season is over, an en-
tire new front of plate glass is to be put in,
when the exterior of the spacious store will be
as attractive as the interior now is, with its
rich stock of dry goods of all imaginable
styles.
So extensive an establishment merits a
somewhat extended notice. There are three
floors occupied by the frm. The easements
used for Wholesale and duplicate stocks of the
goods rstailed above. Upon the main floor,
upon the right as one enters the door, are, In
the following order, full and complete stocks
of prints dOmestics household goods, COM
prising table linens, damasks, napkins, &c;
a great variety Of cassimeres, broad cloths,
&C., at retail and Wholesale a full stock Of
the very best qualities of fannels and silks
of all shades and styles,
Upon the left are two counter devoted to
dress goods, Of all possible varieties for the
satisfaction Of every taste and purse en-
brOidery of choicest kinds, and gloves,
hosiery, &C., in almost endless profusion.
At the rear of the store, is 8 spacious room
fitted up with the co~nveniences and elegan-
cies of a parlor, devoted to the sale of clOaks
md shawls, this department being attended
to by Mr.. C. q. Barnum, who has had long
experience in the trade. All the depart
ments are presided over by competent sales
men, who have a wide acquaintance, FIVE of
them having recently been in the employ of
Freeman & Kellogg.
Upon the second floor is the manufactur-
ing room, where all cIoaks and other gar
msnts are stamped, cut and made up to or
der, at a days notice, the work being super
vised by g competent foreman.
Messrs Hover and Higbee have been but
a few years in the city, but have already a
very extensive trade. They are now deter
mined that their store shall be second to none
in the West for freshness and fitness of
stocks. They are honorable, enterprising
business men, worthy the confidence of COM
munity.

ACCIDENT TO A TEAM.-At about eleven
O'Clock this morning, as a man was driving
a wagon loaded with oil barrels from Deans
factory, the wagon turned over the edge of
the hill on Canal street, and dragged the
horses over with it. The oil barrels rolled
out, and the poor driver was in a state of
despair. We believe no further damage was
done, however.
