Messrs 7. B. Peterson g. Brothers announce as
in Press and nearly ready, three New Books by
celebrated writers, which will create a sensation in
the literary world unequaled for some time. II is
seldom that we have three Novels like these at one
time to notice from one House, as one is considered
enough for a fortnight, but in this instance there
will be published in the space OF few days of
each other Three Books that for high literary m.r.
it, intensity, of feeling, pathos general distribution
of the characters, and happy termination, are said
to rank second to none that have been issued from
the press for long time.
"Thc Wife's Secret" BY the popular American
writer, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, author of "The Re-
jected Wife," Fashion AMI Famine" and other
highly interesting books.

Man in Grey" This book is destined % have a
very large number Of readers.
The Bridal Eve" BY Mrs. F.. D. E. n.

The Lost Heress," and a score of other good aud
pleasing novels. The admirers of this lady will be
glad to have another book from her pen, as She

The rebel Col Basil Duke, the brains
Of John Morgan, has bccn removed from the
Peuitcntiary by order of the War Depart.
ment, and is now at Camp Chase. Upon re-
cicving the order for his removal. the War
den, Capt. Merton, refused to delivor up
his prisoner, except by the direct order OF
the Governor of Ohio. which was not done
until such order was received. Col. nlke 5
parole has been extended, and he is allowed
the freedom of the camp, but is not to 20
beyond the pckcts. As it is well known,
Dnke is not the greenest man IN the world,
nor the most honorable, we predict, that ere
two weeks passes by, he will be roposing
ing upon the bosom of his former cone
mander aud fellow-prsoner, Jonu Morgan.
This latter fugacious individual, it is well
known, is organizing large cavalry force
in Northern Alabama, with view of making
raid through Kentucky, and possible again
through Indiana and Ohio. AS he will nee
essarily need his brains to aid and di-
rect him in this expedition, we think it
more than possible that Duke will have es-
capped before many days have gone. ly.
This will serve as a poor balm for our spir-
its, which were so grioviously wounded
over the escape Of General Morgan.-Co-
