....n.o f,o,, tho commencement to the catae-
tronbe. Tho narrative exhibits but a comparatively
slight proportion of incident or action, consisting
mainly Of seenes in the interior life Of the heroine,
,,essn,ad with a view 10 the illustration OF her
character rather than to the production OF dramatic
eacct Cha is described as q creature OF impulse
and emotion, Of unqucstionable purity OF nature
and purpose with high artistic instincts ana ehdo"-
ments. especially in music and the drama, ana OF
sineulsrly unsefsh and unworldly tendencies TX
nosed 70 the temptations Of public favorite on the
stage, she preserves an unsulhed integrity OF
character bu{ finally dies OF broken heart as the
victim of concealed passion. With superior
intollectua, powers, she displays love Of theory
and speculation. which she often carries to the
borders OF extravaganza, and narrowly escapes the
obloouy which attaches 10 the profession Of
I" strong.mindcd woman" The most noticeable
feature of the story is lite avoidance OF the usual
commonplace routine Of novel writers, without the
offensive audacity and defiance which are apt TO
attend the efforts Of those who strike out new
path. In point of style and illustration, the volume
shows not little vigor and fertility, Astounding in
frequent felicities Of expression and for the most
part free from claptrap and rhetorical imitation.
SUMMER CRUISE on THE COAST OF new
ENGLAND. by RoBEEr CARTER l2mo. Pc: ?ei.
Boston: Crosby Nichols. kewioTk: Oliver 5. Felt
The lively narrative of which this volume
consists originally appeared in the form OF letters to
The TRIBUNE, attracting the favorable attention of
the public by their piquant dramatic costume, the
freshness and gayety Of their spirit and the case and
naturalness with which call things that do suffer
sea-change" were converted into the materials for
pleasant humor and picturesque description. A
striking feature OF the work is its combination of
racy personal experiences with popular scientific
sketches. The author not only INDUCES an ancient
mariners love for long yaihs by the recital of var
Gus rollieking adventures but has taken pains to
furnish an accurate account of the habits and re.
sorts Of tho fishes Northeastern coast, which
has met with warm approval from naturalists and
sportsmen Of eminent authority. No book Of the
season better deserves a place in the portmanteau
Of the tourist, will afford more rolishns SAVIOR
to the amateur Of spicy and fragrant description.

guns. For the defence of harbors, they appear
to be excellent war craft, but they are too slow
and sit too low in the water for ocean navigation.
Our armor fleet is now very large, numbering
seventy four vessels in different stages, carrying
a total of 1876 large guns. When the present war
commenced, in 1861 there were but forty
vessels in commission in the whole navy. In
the short space of three years nearly double that
number of iron-clad vessels alone have been
added to the navy. All have been built upon
original plans, and their construction exhibits
the herculean energy and great resources of the
country. These may be divided into four classes,
namely, those having revolving towers, those
formed of old wooden ships covered with plates,
new armor broadside ships, and the iron-plated
river boats of the West. We have only one
broadside frigate formed entirely of iron, upon
the principle of the English armor frigates.-
This is the New Ironsides, which is the only
ocean plated war steamer we have yet in service.
No armor vessel yet built is proof against pow
erful artillery, but the days of wooden war ships
are gone forever, not of such could stand
five minutes before our armor ships. Our armor
ships have not yet performed any brilliant feat,
such as the capture of strong fort like Sumter ;
but they have been exposed with impunity in
situations where the best wooden frigates in the
world would have been blown to pieces in few
minutes

The PREMIUM ON GOODWIN the

premium on gold,. many people are puzzled to
calculate the value of paper money.
Perhaps the simplest mode for common use,
and that the most easily remembered is TO di-
vide the number of cents in a hundred dollars
by the quoted price, whatever it may be- of gold,
and the quotient is the value of the dollar in
cents. Thus at $50 per cent, the value of the
paper dollar is 66 2-3 cents; at 200 per cent. 80
cents; at 500 per cent 20 cents, at 900 per cent
10 cents; and at 1900 per cent, which was about
the average premium at Richmond before the
LIST of April, when the whole rebel currency was
required to be funded, the paper dollar was
worth cents.

Colored Soldiers to be Protected.

AS the language of the President, at the open
ing of the Baltimore Sanitary Fair, relative to
the duty of the government to protect the colored
soldier, has been extensively quoted and criti-
cised, we have concluded that the publication of
the following synopsis of his speech on that oc
casion will be of interest to our readers:-
'Many supposed the government did not in
tend to do its duty in regard to the protection of
these colored soldiers. He desired to say that
all such were mistaken. When the question of
employing colored soldiers was left to
the government, it rested very much with him.
self whether he should make soldiers of them or
not. He pondered the matter carefully, and
when he became convinced that it was duty to
so employ them he did not hesitate. He stood
before the American people responsible for the
act-responsibe for it he should stand in the eye
of the histOrian-respOnsible for it he stood be-
fore God-and he did not shrink from the decis-
ion he had made for he believed it was right
But when government determined to make sol
diers of these colored people, he thought it only
just that they should have the same protection
as the white soldiers. [Applause.] And he hest
tated not to declare that the government would
protect them to the utmost of it's power.
Whenever a clear, authenticated case should
be made out retribution would follow. 1t had
hitherto been difficult to ascertain with that
UuHCy WHICH, govern d uecISIOH 10
ter so serious. But in the affair at Fort Pillow
he thought they were likely to find clear case.
The government had no direct evidence to con-
firm the reports in existence relative to the mas
sacre, but he feared that the facts related
true. When the Government does know
the facts from official sources, and they substan
tiate the reports, retribution will surely be
given. Great applause
But how should retributon be administered
was the question still to be settled Would it be
right to take the life of prisoners in Washington,
in Fort Delaware or elsewhere, in retaliation for
acts in which they had not shared? Would it be
right to take prisoner captured say at Vicks-
burg and shoot him for acts of which he was not
guilty, and which, it probably will be found,
were the ordering of only a few Individuals or
possibly of only one man? The President re-it-
Grated the declaration that the government woul d
not fail to visit retribution when the acts were
clearly proven

marched from Pilot Knob to Desota, with an
escort OF forty men. His retreat from Pilot

artillery with loss. Two other attacks were
made, both OF which were repulsed On ar
irving at Harrison's Station, on Wednesday

Elk Gen. Naglee, near the close of his recent
letter to Hon. VIM. D. Kelley, makes the fol-
lowing, important if true, announcement:
Within the last sixty days, confidential
friend OF the President was sent to offer him
one of the most important commands in the
army. But this proposition was coupled with
the most dishonorable condition, that ne
should decline to be candidate for the Presl-
dency. Gen. Mcclellan restrained his indig-
nation, and replied to the bearer of the mes
sage, $50 back to Washington and say to the
President for me that when l receive my
official written orders, he shall have my an

The Washington Republican of Monday,
Oct. Sd, says it is authorized to say that "the
President has no recollection of sending any
message or messenger to Gen. Mcclellan. or
of receiving any from him, at any time since
he was relieved from the command of the
Army of the Potomac; and certainly none
such as mentioned in the published letter of
Gen. Naglee. If the President sent a message
in writing, the writing can be produced; if a
messenger, he can be named Let either be
done if it can"

This was for the reason that the vessels which

ever, will continue to be employed in these

Present indications are that Admiral Far

to that Of the North Atlantic squadron. The
latter embraces the vessels on the North At
