A New Book BY MRs. EMMA D. E. N.
SoUTAwoRTH.-T. B. Peterson & Brothers,
Philadelphia, have in press and will publish
on Saturday, December 18th, new book by
Mrs. Emma D. E. N. Southworth, entitled
ssThe Bride Of Llewellyn," which will, beyond
all doubt, prove to be the most popular and
successful work that has ever been written by
her, for she is beyond all question the most
powerful female writer in America, if not in
the world. No one ever read chapter of
one of her works, without wishing to read the
whole book, and none ever read one of her
books without admiring the rare genius of its
author, and wishing that she might soon write
another. Her scenes are life-pictures, her
Incidents are founded on facts, and her senti-
ments are characterized by singular purity
both of conception and expression. She has
the rare faculty of saying what she means, and
of saying it in such manner that her mean
ing cannot be misinterpreted. In short, she
possesses in an eminent degree those qualif-
cations which are the peculiar prerogatives of
good writer; and while she delights the
readers imagination with her descriptive
beauty, she applies home truths to his under
standing with the force of rational conviction.
The ssBride of Llewellyn" will be welcomed
by all such readers especially; and those who
have never read the works of this gifted
woman should not fail to buy and read this
new novel by this gifted American authoress.

~ The House of Representatives have
been prompt in their indication of what they
intend to do; in passing bill by considerably
over a two thirds vote, which repeals the
power to pardon rebels formerly granted by
special act to the President. This will change
the status of affairs considerably, if the senate
should concur il is more than probable they
win and one of the largest sources ofpresiden-
tial power will be taken away.
A bill has also been introduced in accord
ance with the principles laid down in the
caucus, regulating removals from office.
A resolution was passed requiring the Sec
retary of State to communicate all the in
formation in his possession in reference to
John Sur rat the assassin, and also resolution
calling upon the president for the facts in the
of the rebel general Pickett who hung a

Congress.
There are 126,722 names upon the

100000 will be required to meet Its de-
mands.
All the Indians who were in rebellion
have Internationally submitted to the au-
thority Of the Union and no further trou-
BILE is feared from their depredations.
The attention Of Congress is called to
the condition Of the Mississippi Levees
and national legislation invited for their
preservation. He recommends the admis-
sion of delegate from the District of
Columbia just the same as they are now
admitted from the territories of the Union.
Foreign governments have been protest
to in reference to the sending Of convicts
to our shores, and the nuisance has been
abated by them. The government is also
eneavoring to secure the right of citizen
ship for all naturalized citizens to such
degree that they can revisit the homes of
their nativity without the danger of being
conscripted for military service, and sat
isfactory.. advance is being made toward
it's accomplishment He alludes to the
recent attempt to induce the Freedmen
to emigrate TO Spanish America where
their slavery would be worse than the
bondage Of the South, and states that it
has been prevented but that more strin-
gent laws are needed upon this subject.
He informs the Congress that Napolean
has broken his word in reference to the
removal Of the French troops from Mex
leo but assured the u S. authorities that
the entire body should be removed in the
Spring. Our government had expressed
its dissent but from the tone of the cor
respondence no serious rupture was ap-
pretended with France. MIR. Campbell
was sent as minister to the Republic Of
Mexico, and the Lieut. Gen. of the
United States accompanied him to obtain
the necessary military information for
the establishment of our relations with
that country.
No special advance has been made in
settling the differences with Great Britain
growing out of the Alabama and similar
claims, but still it is hoped that an amica
BILE settlement will be made. The Presi-
dent asserts that good will and friendship
between the two countries cannot be es-
tablished until these claims are settled.
He recapitulates the facts in reference
to the Fenian invasion and volunteers
the usual advice to Great Britain to be
merciful to its captured prisoners. He
closes by saying that we are now passing
through our most trying ordeal-that our
interests will best be promoted by the
obliteration of past differences and the
Inauguration of the arts of peace, and
says directing our efforts to the early
accomplishment of these great ends let
us endeavor to preserve harmony between
the coordinate departments Of the gov
ernment, that each in its proper sphere
may cordially cooperate with the other
in securing the maintenance of the Con-
stitution, the preservation of the Union,
and the perpetuity Of free Institutions.

they are being replaced rapidly by reg

An East Tennessee Invention.

Mr.. w. E Prall, of Knoxville, Tenn,
has invented a Cotton Picking Ma
chine. The Boston Transcript says ii
has found SO much favor with Boston
capitalists and manufacturers, they
have purchased the patent. The Ma
chimes, it adds, are to be made at Ho-
barts extensive cotton gin factory at
Bridgewater, and those best acquainted
with cotton picking feel great conf
dence that the invention viii prove al
most invaluable.
The Knoxville Commercial of the Sth
announces the return TO that city Of
Mr.. Prall, and gathers from him IN
formation that leads it TO the 'beliet
that the machine is perfect success. y
The practical men of Boston belonging
to the archaeological Society, tested it
in every way they could and consider
il triumph, We would prefer a test
in the "cotton patch" before going into
ecstacies over the invention. Mr.. Prall,
we learn from the Commercial, retains
the greater part of the stock in the
company organized to manufacture the
Picker We hope the inventor may
not be disappointed. If his machine
answers the purpose for which it is in
tended, it will be second only in the
importance of It's results to the cotton
gin, and contribute largely TO the solu-
ton of the problem of the future cot
ton supply of the south.

THE LATE ROBBERY OF Nh. DgSHAM AR
REST OF THE CRIMINALS Several weeks ego,
says the Cincinnati Commercial, the full
particulars Of the rObbing of Mr.. Durham,
OF the firm of Higdon & Co., of that city
of about Sll 200, by three men, a short dis
lance above New Orleans, were published.
Mr.. Durham on Saturday returned from
New Orleans to Cincinnati, having bean
called there to identify the parties arrested.
He gives the following particulars: The
draft stolen YVES Immediately taken by the
leater Of the party TO Galveston, Texas, and
by one Of the banks there cashed. The
draft was hen sent by the bank cashing the
same back to New Orlesns, aud there iden
titled as tue draft stolen from Durham, and
a dispatch sent TO Galveston for the imme-
diate arrest Of the person presenting the
draft. which was done, with requisitiOn
that the criminal be sent to New Orleans,
time being gwen him, however, 10 disgorge
To the bank cushing tho draft. This, how
ever, coul not be accomplished by the Gull
prit unless an opportunity was given him to
communicate with the cOnfederates at New
Orleans, inasmuch as he had expended
81 500 Of the money. This amount, haw-
ever, was made up by his confedera.es upon
their arrival, but the desperate, whose
name is Bass or Baze, ives sent TO New Or
leans, and Dir. Durham telegraphed for.
Upon Mr.. Dunham's arrival at New Or
leaus, for the purpose Of giving him an op-
portunity Of Identifying the leader Of the
gang, he was ushered into room where
there were Eve or six persons, including
Bass, no previous intelligence having been
given TO either Of the object. On Mr.. Dun-
ham entering, Bass immediately arose, con
siderably confused, called Mr.. Dunham by
name, anC, said he was glad to meet him.
Mr.. Dunh,fm fully identified the criminal,
and had bat little difficulty in tracing the
whereabouts Of his watch, which was ound
in the possession Of female, who turned it
over TO is owner on demand.
Mr.. Durham has received, as viii besesnt
the largest portion Of what vas stolen.
