The further information in referenbe to
the Bordeaux steamer said to hazebeen OBJ
tanned by the rebels, is looked for with in
terest The Danish Minister, Mr.. Raj
staff, denies the reports that the vessel was
sold to the rebels By the Danish Govern
ment. This information hsG been obtained
from an authentic source. oir-
/ The President this afternoon sent to the
Senate for confirmation the name of Hon.
E. D. Morgan, of New York, TO be Secre-
tary of the Treasury, but in the course Of
an hour thereafter withdrew it.
The Committee on the Conduct of the
War to-day, through Senator Wade made
report, calling attention to three classes
of heavy guns. First. Those made entire
ly of cast iron-the Dahlgren and RodmAn
gun. Second. Those made of cast iron
the Parrot gun. Third. Those made en-
tirely of wrought iron-tbe Ames gun.
The Committee say that Dshlgren never
received any compensation in the way of
royalty; that Psrrott never charged any
thing excepting what he deemed fair
manufacturers profit, and. that Anes has
made only 81 guns for the government,
charging so much pound for them.
The Committee have examined into the
bursting Of the Parrott guns of large cali
bre, together with the bursting of some of
the cast-iron guns, of large calibre, upon
the vessels engaged in operating against
Charleston and Fort Fisher, which has
tended TO weaken the confidence in their
durability, and seems to show the necessity
of obtaining, if possible, some other gun
which can be more implicitly relied on.
The bursting Of these guns is generally
attributed to the premature explosion Of
shells within the nave of the gun.
The Committee, in view Of all the facts
elected by the testimony, recommend Con-
gress to Immediately adopt such measures
as will enable the War and Navy Depart
ments to obtain and introduce into the
service wrought-iron guns, and probably of
larger cslibre, at an as early day as prac-
ticable.

POSITION OF THE TWO ABlnEs.


Our line, now stretching from the James
river, on the right to HatcheTa Run, on
the left, is formed Of four corps, in this
order On the right, the 9th, then the 9Th,
next the I'd, and lastly the 9th. The ex-
tent of the position is % miles, as well IS
can be ssCsrtainsd. The rebel line is dis
posed as follows;
On the right, in front Of the Fifth Corps
is the Second, under General Gordon, con-
sisting Of two Divisions; then comes the
Third Corps, under General Hill, consist
ing of three divisions; next the Fourth,
under General Anderson; and lastly, the
First, on their left, consisting Of three
divisions, under General Longstreet.
By this it Will be seen that their line
is formed offour corps as is ours-but they
are Weak-the first which is strongest
mastering only 900 msn.
The South Side railroad which Is on our
left, Is six miles from our picket lines.
The rebels see with alarm our approach
towards the road and fight aS hard as their
weakness viii allow, to check our advance,
but in spite of all they can do, the road
will be ours in the course of time.
TIE REBELS NOT DISPOSED TO TRY AND Re
TAXI THEIR LOST GROUND.
The enemy show no disposition to try
to regain their lost ground, and are likely
to conAne their efforts to the holding of
their rear line of works, which are very
strong. =

New Books.

OUs MUTUAL FRIEED. By Charles Dickens. with
Illustrations New York Harper and Broth
er, 1855.
The serial numbers of this, Dickens last
and IN some points, best story, which have
appeared in Harper's Monthly the past few
months, are here gathered into volume,
paper bound, and constitute Part 1. of this
work in two parts. These papers, in this
form, will be read by quite large and Sc
iset class, for, whereas there is numerous
class OF readers, enamored of Dickens, who
could by no means await the publication Of
the complete book, there are, on the other
hand, very many who have resisted tempta-
ton and denied themselves, out of the de-
sire to have the whole work before them,
that there might be no bar to their enjoy
mentinreadlng itat one heat. Such readers
grasp the unity Of a piece as readers of
serials never do or can.
The illustrations given in Hsrpsr's
Monthly are used in this volume. Of
course it will have large sale, for every
one must read Dickens.
J.-B. Cobb & Co. have it for sale.

hI BRoTHER's WIFE.-A Life History, By
Amelia B. Edwards, author Of tHznd an 4
Glove" :" BaFbsra'g Eistory," &c. Now York I
Harper Brothers, 1865.
Thousands of the novels that are read ct
the present day, apologetic, initiative and
namby-pamby as they are, are not worth
The paper they spoil, much less are they
worth quarter-ho attention of any
serious person. But Miss Edwards works
of fction-there are four now before the
Public-are of high order, and represent,
both in the subjects chosen and the treat
ment of them, deep tendency of our time,
this, namely, of looking within and not
abroad, writing what is personal and do
nestle rather than what is conventional,
and, in short, dealing with spirit instead of
mere custom and costume. We are now in
what has been termed the third estate in
literature, and every leading book is made
popular because it is in some sort intro
Spective, or deals with questions that come
up for answer in every ones private
thought and judgment.
Miss Edwards always selects domestic
subjects, and dslineates characters as if she
stood at their center and not on the out
side or to distance. We suspect there is
much that is auto-biogrsphieal in her
books, but the danger which threatens the
writing of such books, namely, that Of
falling either into ssntimentality or NOR
bidnsss, seems not TO have left mark in
her works. They all have a charming
style and wholesome tone, and betrsy a
fine range of reading, observation and re-
hection.
This book also is for sale by J. B. Cobb &
Co.
