NEW NOVELS.

Through Messrs. WEST & JOHNSTON of
of Richmond, HARPER Sc BROTHERS of
New York send It's the following novels
which they have just published.
Lote or Marriage By William Black.
This attractively titled novel is from
the pen ofan author iiew to us. He
writes with power, and possesses the
rare talent of sustaining his characters
which are well drawn. 1t is disagree
able to be in the constant society of
such weak hypocrite as the heroine,
and such bold designing man as the
one who leads her to desert her lover,
and her old father-but it is horrible to
cause her mother to sllccumb to the in
tiuence of this moral monster; and to
show us the dreadful picture of moth
er living with her daughter, and reap
ing the rewards of her infamy. These
characters so faint the atmosphere Of
the book, that we are not relieved even
by the pure spirits of Glencairn, and
Mary. The book is very readable we
do not feel able, however, to say what
its influence might be on the young and
weak; though we fancy Mr.. BLACK in
tended it to produce fine moral eff
feet.
Dead Sea Fruit: By Miss Bfadaon,
Was real surprise to us, evincing Us
it does the stride the atithoress has
made since she penned "Lady Aud
ley's Secret" cts ais, the novels that
during the war almost sicKened us with
modern fiction. This volume before us,
is well written, and carries us into pure
atmosphere, and good society that is
refreshing. And Miss BKADDoN has at
last dismissed her bigamists-may they
never re-appear.
| We are also indebted to j. WALL
TURNER for a copy of the above.
A Lost Name: By Sheridan lie Fanu.
We cannot say much in praise of this
novel, whose name deceived us into
hoping for story of thrilling interest.
The style is very poor, there being
scarce sentence without one or more
italicized words, and the plot is the
rather worn one ola beautiful fiend Of
a goVerness, working woe in the family
OF her employer; tits comfort how.
ever that she reaps her reward at the
last-and virtue triumphs.
The Je,eeller's Daughter,
| Carries us into Moscow, new field
for the novelist, and is very readable
little pamphlet-but We think the plot
much too intricate for the length of the
book; to interest the reader, it should
be longer in unravellhg.
| This novel comes to us from TURNER
The indefatigable, and we thank him fol
not forgetting his country friends who
are rs anxious for his success as any O
the Richmond da.lies.

Gen. James F. Rushing, who is the Republican
candidate for Congress in the lid District of
New-Jersey, entered the War as Union vol
unteer at an early day, and rose steadily from
the ranks to high command by gallant and eff
fective service His nomination over two ca
pablo and veteran competitors, both of whom
have been repeatedly in Congress, and one of
whom has been Governor of the State, is a
compliment to the Union Volunteers as well as
a tribute to the merits of their favorite.
The District gave Lincoln in Ca 1880 votes
to 17,422 for Mcclellan. 1t did still better for
Gov. Ward in '6j, and will do better yet for
Gen. Rushing now. The Boys in Blue are al

anticipates gain for Seymour in the vote Of
that State next Tuesday. We refuse to
proffer word of exhortation to the Republi-
cans of that noble State. They know their
duty, and will at least half do it. That will
give us Twenty Thousand majority; but we
believe they will make it Twenty -Jfve Thou

The negotiations between Prussia and the
United States are pushed forward with great
vigor. The Prussian Government has accepted
the proposition made by the United States, and
the Commissioner appointed by it has already
sailed. The eagerness of Prussia to cultivate
the most friendly relations with the United
States is generally noticed. 1t seems to be de-
sirous to bring about q closer union between
itself, the United States, and Russia.
